Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 2-3

In her dream, "she" has infinite scenery and is the model rich lady. When she married her husband, the wedding cost hundreds of millions of dollars, not including the wedding gift from the husband's family. There are legends that the wedding gift is nine figures in cash. "She" has also become the "high-price bride" and "hundred billion bride" reported by the media. Even after this wedding, people began to call the grand wedding the "Wedding of the Century".

After becoming a wealthy young mistress, "she" is still leading a beautiful life, because it is the shotgun marriage, after a few months of the "Wedding of the Century" that people talk about, the news of "the high price bride" giving birth made her famous again.

Before marriage, in addition to cash, the husband’s wedding gift, luxury car mansion and jewellery, the reward of "she" gets after the birth of the child is really amazing, not only has hundreds of millions of stock funds in her name, but also yachts and private jets, Yang Gui Fei let the poet write the verse that "fulfil the hearts of parents in the world, not rebirth as man but rebirth as woman.*" Jian Rui Xi's reputation in dreams is also comparable to that of verse.

After getting married, "she" turned her life from a middle-class family into a rich woman, and took her parents across several classes to become rich people with a reputation. Who wouldn't want to follow suit?

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and a woman suddenly broke into "her"'s line of sight, and since then, "she" started the journey of being face-slapped. This mediocre mainland woman actually won over the young master of Xi Family, Xi Mu, who is comparable to her husband. Then they were ready to get married, and the wedding was very grand. In one fell swoop, they broke the record of that year's "wedding of the century". Not only did the capital that she was proud of have been surpassed, but the media and netizens stepped on "her" to raise up the woman, which made "she" feel depressed and angry.

The matter is not over yet. "She" and this Mrs Xi seems to be born to face each other, "she" was originally envied by the wealthy lady, but now was everywhere pressed down by the other party, and it gradually spread that "Ms. Xi is true love" "married for love", and "she" is nothing more than "you must to suffer to be envied by others"

The last picture in the dream is that "she" saw a post. Netizens gossip said that Mrs. Xi seems to be pregnant with a second child. The other party married into the wealthy Xi family three years ago and gave birth to a son the following year. Now she is pregnant with a second child. Even if it is not three years to hold the two, you can see how sweet the life of their husband and wife is!

Looking back at the negative example of "her", after six or seven years of marriage, there is still only one son. Even ordinary couples are willing to have two or three children. At this glance, they know that couples have very little emotional exchanges. Although some netizens tried to speak for "her", such as several generations of the Fu family's single descendant, maybe it was the cause of the family, and it had nothing to do with the relationship between the husband and wife.

These remarks are undoubtedly a huge blow to the "her" who cares about the opinion of the world. Jian Rui Xi can feel the depression in her dream. She wants to comfort the other party. As a supporting role, she just need to take the heroine as a job. Why would you want to do so much? Even without the heroine, she already is a winner in life. Besides, it is precisely because she lived smoothly enough in the first half of her life that she can be a green leaf**.

It's a pity that "she" in the dream can't feel this comfort, and the inner gloom is overwhelming, so that she can't breathe, and Jian Rui Xi who has sunny disposition doesn't know that this mood is called depression, she feels uncomfortable, Instinctively waking himself up, and then opened his eyes, underneath was a soft and comfortable bed. The boyfriend who had gently embraced her was missing, and Jian Rui Xi subconsciously wanted to find him.

And just after waking up, neither clarifying the situation, nor discovering the difference in the room, Jian Rui Xi dragged her shoes and opened the door to call, "Dear, where are you?".

Of course, Jian Rui Xi did not manage call her dear boyfriend, nor was the living room outside is familiar to her. The faint light reflected the look of the villa, two words -- very impressive***.

Immediately afterwards, the lights in the hall turned on, and several sleepy women looked up and cared for her with concern: "Mrs, Are you awake?"

"President Fu is still working overtime and may not come back so soon, do you want to make a phone call. and ask?"

Jian Rui Xi seemed to understand what was happening. When she looked back, she just saw the face in the vanity mirror -- it was her, but also not her. The facial features were actually the same, but they seemed to be a few years younger than her. The face in the dream.

Did she transmigrated?

Thanks to her acting skills that been honed over the past few months, Jian Rui Xi, who found the problem, quickly covered her forehead and pretended to be weak. "Oh, don't need to call, Fu... Since my husband works overtime, don't disturb his work. I just got woken up by a nightmare. No big deal."


T/N:
* the original text is "遂令天下父母心,不重生男重生女". I tried to translate as close as I can. Essentially meant fulfilling the dreams of parents, not being rebirth as man but as woman based on Yang Gui Fei's life.

Because Yang Gui Fei was favoured by the king, her family was getting lots of benefits too. Therefore, many parents' thinking was changed at that time. In the times where sons were favoured by parents compared to girls, with Yang Gui Fei's example, many parents prefer to have girls.

** Being a green leaf: to make other shine i.e. without the green leaves, the red flower would not look as good/as red. To be honest, I don't really get it either. 

*** the original text is 讲究 (jiang jiu) - direct translation is pay attention. I think what the author meant was the place is very impressive or noteworthy. 


I like how she is very calm even in unfamiliar place after she was woken up by nightmare. If it was me, I would already freaked out and probably have horror stories flitting around in my head. 
I quite like the FL very much, she seems to be a happy go lucky, go with the flow sort of person. And while the start of the novel seems slow, I like how the author provide insight to how the FL is as a person.

Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 2-2

After becoming a star, don't need to fear of not having the opportunity to marry wealthy family? Jian Rui Xi's little abacus counting very loud, but success and defeat depending on her uncle,  with such elder staring at her, she simply can't get in touch with the unspoken rules at the reception or banquet.

After a long time to debut, her uncle never stop Jian Rui xi from going out to have relationship, but instead she was not happy because she began to see the ugliness of some rich people and the corrupt love of men and women in the circle. Jian Rui Xi realised that money is not always a good thing.

Jian Rui Xi admits that she worships money and enjoys her life. With the improvement of her economic level after her debut, her life is becoming more and more extravagant, but it does not mean that she will be in the same mess with those who are rich and unkind.

After all, she can make money herself. It's time to raise the spouse selection standard. Jian Rui Xi began to look for wealthy sons with high-class background and excellent family style. But then again, a good young man with such standard, would find a good girl, why would they want to mix with female stars?

As a result, the more and more Jian Rui Xi dramas were filmed, the roles she picked up became more and more important, and the great men who she could see did not appear.

In a blink of an eye, she was thirty, and marrying a wealthy man became a dream at the bottom of the box. Jane Rui Xi began to look at the present moment, working for her career and earn more money.

To tell the truth, Jane Rui Xi's long-forgotten dream is this novel, which represents her young girl's mind to a certain extent, should be related to her recent physical and mental relaxation. A few days ago, the drama she starred in was officially killed. This is a large-scale production drama. The supporting actors are all old dramas performers. The male lead and male second who play with her are even more amazing. One has taken the film emperor and the other is new TV favourite. She, as a small actor wandering on the third line, was tossed to no avail during the filming. She stayed in the crew for half a year and lost six or seven pounds. She went crazy when she was liberated, and immediately applied for leave and fly to US for holiday with her boyfriend.

Don't look at Jian Rui Xi's 30-year-old "old age", but the boyfriend he is looking for is a graduate student. His tutor is a special consultant for the crew. The boy accompanied him to run up and down the site and Jian Rui Xi was attracted after two visits.

Jane Rui Xi's taste has always been very picky. In the chaotic world of the entertainment circle, there are beautiful men with different styles around her, but there are too few that really match her spouse selection standard. Because she cherished her life, even if the beauty is indeed tempting, when she thought she might get disease and there is also a risk that they will get her into drugs, even without the agent staring at her, she will be far away from those people.

The special taste made Jian Rui Xi difficult to have a relationship. Originally when she is in high school she could have fall in love early under the eyes of the class teacher and her dad. The peach blossoms in the university were even more prosperous, but after so many years of debut, all the objects she had met were counted in one hand.

Before associating with the current Chen Han, Jian Rui Xi had been free for two or three years and Chen Han was also active. Without letting her seduce him, he confessed to her after being ambiguous and naturally being together.

It's just that they are still in the crew, and it's not good to be too intimate, and they have maintained platonic love for several months.

Because of this, Jian Rui Xi has very high expectations for this holiday arrangement - beach, sunshine, and lovers in love. This is undoubtedly the best compensation for Jian Rui Xi who has worked hard for half a year.

Maybe she was too relaxed, which led to dreams at night. This dream, Jian Rui Xi’s vision is not on the heroine, but as a supporting role with few plays and only appeared in the middle and late stories of the novel, probably because she has the same name and surname as this character, Jian Rui Xi did not think much and continued to have her happy and sweet dreams.

Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 2.1

Jian Rui Xi had a dream that was forgotten for a long time and the content was related to a novel she had read many years ago.

At that time, Jian Rui Xi was only 17 or 18 years old. As a beautiful young girl at the age of youth, only nerds would not "leave their ears out of the window and only read the book of sages." So, of course, Jian Rui Xi would keep up with the trend.

She had no interest in early love and chasing stars. After class, she went to read novels with her friends, but she had a special taste. She often read the styles of "the rich young master loves me" and "Cinderella's noble son". The novel, summed up in the present words, is the early version of Mary Sue novels.

Jian Rui Xi looked at these Mary Sue novels at that time, rather than being interested, she said she wanted to "learn from it".

That's right, Jian Rui Xi also wants to be a Cinderella and marry into wealthy family. She is a standard money grubber, very obviously and blatantly loves money. She still remember the first lesson in elementary school. The teacher asked the students what their ideals were. Her friends basically remembered glorious occupations such as doctors, scientists, the PLA, and writers. Only little Jian Rui Xi was unique and decisively said that she had no dreams, she just wanted to be a rich person.

Jian Rui Xi’s parents were high school teachers. In the 1990s, they were undoubtedly respected intellectuals, and people’s fixed impressions of intellectuals were all poor and noble, with these understanding parents. Rui Xi's "great wishes" are taken seriously, but friends, relatives and neighbours often joke with her about this, such as telling her to eat well and raising herself to be white and fat, so as to smoothly marry a rich man.

The adults' speeches successfully confused little Jian Rui Xi. For a long time, she thought "to be rich" meant "to marry a rich man". After many years, she finally found out that marrying is only one way, and she can also become a rich generation through her own efforts. However, Jian Rui Xi noted the necessary advantages of successful people, and finally found that she seemed to have only the face .

Maybe it was God’s deliberate arrangement, destined to be Cinderella’s fate. Jian Rui Xi happily admits her destiny, and had since carved the goal of marrying a wealthy man into her heart.

Unfortunately, in the end, Jane Rui Xi failed to marry into wealthy family. In her third year of high school, her uncle, who was an agent in the entertainment industry, finally had a famous name. It was considered to be successful, and Jane Rex decisively haunted her uncle to became a small artist.

Jane Rui Xi is full of confidence, her facial features are exquisite, she has pure look and beautiful. Can be considered as a rare beauty in the entertainment circle. With her uncle protection and back up, it is more than enough to be a vase star when she debuts.

Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 1.3

The car slowly entered the Long Quan Bay Villa. It was already half past one in the morning. Fu Shi Yuan didn’t want to disturb people at home, so the assistant and driver returned to the hotel. He opened the door but didn't imagine that there are people run up and down, and the kitchen is still fragrant.

Alone in the Mainland for months, Fu Shi Yuan has not felt such a "life spirit" for a long time and stunned at the door for a while. Aunt Wang, who was still at the kitchen, still heard the movement, looked out to greet him, and explained the situation in a few words: "President Fu, you are back, do you want some supper? Mrs. was awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, asked us to boil some soothing soup ..."

While speaking, Sister Zhang came downstairs again, "Aunt Wang, Mrs. said she feels like eating sweets like egg tarts and cakes, could you make some, ah.. President Fu is back? "

Fu Shi Yuan nodded and smiled, "How is the Mrs?"

Sister Zhang and the rest have been "left cold "in the empty villa for a long time. When the host and the hostess returned home, they all wanted to express something. One said that the wife was shocked in the middle of the night and now she was still a little stunned. Fortunately, President Fu came back in time; One said that the wife was mentally weak and needed her husband's company. Aunt Wang awkwardly said "I can make the small cakes that Mrs wants to eat, but it takes too long, and it is too late now ... "

Fu Shi Yuan said:" Then make it for her tomorrow. "

After that he went up to the second floor watched by the villa servants. He recalled the last time his wife came to live in Long Quan Bay. That was two years ago, the group had its first annual meeting in Beijing. She had to accompany him to attend. That time, she stayed in Long Quan Bay for one night. However, her as the hostess was a little awkward, as if she regarded herself as a guest. He saw that she was uncomfortable. He simply accompanied her to Guan Cang Hai and she was more comfortable at the hotel. Therefore, he thought that she would go to the hotel this time, but did not expect to come here directly, and also make the entire villa's servant busy, but it shows quite a bit of the majesty of the hostess.

While thinking, the person had already reached the master bedroom on the second floor, the lights were on, the door was closed, and Fu Shi Yuan knocked twice, then pushed open the door and looked softly at the woman who was sitting on the bed: "I heard that you have a nightmare, are you alright? ”

Jian Rui Xi, who was struggling to deal with her memory, raised her head and saw President Fu stood there with backlighting at the door, and her brain suddenly crashed. Wow, the novel did not say that the supporting character, President Fu, is so handsome that she can't close her legs (≧ ▽ ≦) /


**T/N: finally the FL appear.. and she seems interesting..

Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 1.2


Assistant Wen in the co-pilot seat was robbed of his job and had to pull down the window to say hello to everyone. He is a personal assistant. Specifically, he is mainly responsible for the boss ’s private life and social aspects. It is different from the work of the senior special assistants around Fu Shi Yuan. However, in the eyes of everyone, they are all "close ministers." It’s really a matter of saying that he is the person who followed President Fu for 24 hours. The assistant’s room in the Guan Cang Hai is next to President Fu. Who else in the whole group can have such treatment?

Assistant Wen greeted everyone. They also responded enthusiastically, and did not forget to greet the driver and bodyguard, Da Chen. President Fu was born as a celebrity in Hong Kong. Because of historical and social reasons, the social security of Hong Kong is inferior to that in the Mainland. Cases of kidnapping and extortion of rich family occur from time to time, especially Xi, Fu, Ye and other world-famous rich families. Especially the children are even more being a target. For the sake of their lives, bodyguards have become a must-have for the wealthy children’s when leaving home and travel. As President Fu, being the three-generation single descendant, his bodyguards together can form two volleyball teams. It is said that all of them were special soldiers with extraordinary skills, masters who came and went without a trace.

However, these two groups of volleyball teams went to the mainland with strict security control, especially in Greater Beijing, which was a little useless. President Fu no longer needs to have front and back clusters, and go out with up to two bodyguards, one of which has to be a part-time driver. The people who stay with him are naturally his confidants, so even if they are group executives with annual salary of seven or eight figures, they are still very humble in front of the bodyguard/driver.

Fu Shi Yuan was not in the mood to listen to so many greetings. He leaned on the seat and commanded: "Let's go."

Da Chen immediately started the car, and the assistant of the staff closed the car window, and waited for a few meters before he whispered. "President Fu, I talked to Lisa. She said that there was nothing important lately, but Mrs lived at the Kimberley yesterday. After having lunch with Mrs. Jian, she suddenly said she would come to see you. Because it was too sudden, Lisa didn't managed to catch the plane. So this time Mrs came to Beijing alone. "

Fu Shi Yuan closed his eyes and looked like he had no intention of listening to the assistant report, but if you look closely, you can see that the fingers of the joint are lightly tapping on the knee. This is his habit of thinking.

Lisa is his wife's life assistant. Since they got married, Lisa has been serving Mrs. Fu. In terms of familiarity and understanding, him as a husband is indeed not as good as Lisa. Therefore, Lisa said that there is nothing important and should not be wrong. But she came to Beijing suddenly and was so anxious that she couldn't even wait for Lisa, who she trusted and depended on. Was it related to the parents in law?

Kimberley is a high-end community in Hong Kong second only to Hai Tang Bay. He has a villa there, but he has a lot of real estate under his name. When his son was born, even his parents gave incentives such as yacht  and stocks. The media also stared at him. It’s also not good if he doesn't have any contribution, so he picked a few sets of real estate in different cities and transferred them to her name, including Kimberley. Because Kimberley is in Hong Kong, and the environment is also good, his wife let her parents move in.

Therefore, when they heard that his wife had been to Kimberly, she suddenly decided to come to Beijing. Fu Shi Yuan couldn't help thinking of his mother-in-law. However, although his wife's family is not big, his father-in-law is an intellectual, and his mother-in-law is also smart and capable. He believes that they will not sowing discord in front of his wife.

This matter, there should have a cause. President Fu's eyebrows frowned, and the assistant's heart beat quickly, uneasily said: "There is another thing recently, I heard that Mrs. Xi is pregnant with a second child. You know, there has been a comparison between Mrs. and Mrs. Xi. … ”

While it is enough reason for this, Assistant Wen doesn’t believe that their Mrs, as the young mistress of the Fu family, can still be stimulated by the news gossip outside to behave abnormally - - No matter how it is rumoured outside, Mrs has money and status. She has a lot of shares, three generations of single descendant, ah no,  the fourth generation of single descendant young master is her own son. She is completely secured and settled her place. Does she still need to care about these gossip?

Assistant Wen said, while carefully watching the look of the boss, fearing that his irresponsible guess would cause the boss to be dissatisfied. It's a pity that President Fu was expressionless and didn't even open his eyes. Whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, he couldn't even see it.

Fu Shi Yuan is actually analyzing that although the reason given by the assistant is absurd, it is not without this possibility. His wife came to Beijing in a hurry, couldn't possibly come to catch him cheating? The word "second child" reminded him that his parents, including his parents-in-law, had more than once mentioned and persuaded them to take advantage of their younger age to give birth to two more. The reason is that their family can afford it and they can help the eldest son with family business in the future.

So she is seeing that people who are married two years later than them are "catching up" unable to sit still?

Thinking of this, Fu Shi Yuan couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows. He couldn't even take care of one child. He hadn't gone to school for two months to pick up his son from school and had no time to spend time with him on vacation, he doesn't have qualification to have more children.

Becoming Rich Family Comparison Character Ch 1.1

Hello, it is my first time translating. The novel might starts a bit bland but give it time and it gets interesting soon enough, at least it got me reading the MTL-ed twice and still gets me chuckle everytime. It's quite a fluffy stories without any vicious characters that tried to interfere with their relationship. I tried to translate it to the best I can, Hope it make better sense than the MTL. Without further ado, here's the first chapter.

------------

At 12:30 in the morning,  the world seems to have fallen asleep, and the streets are very quiet, even in Beijing. At the Fu's Building in the CBD center, the group executives just got off work, a group of high-level elites walked out of the office with a smile, some people suggested: "It is rare to stop working early today, or if you want to eat some supper, the big guys get together What does President Fu think? "

Everyone present is also directors and general managers, who can go out and get served as a boss. However, the President Fu in this person's mouth is obviously different from other colleagues. He is the crown prince of the Fu Group and in the recent years, the old chairman has begun to retreat behind the scenes. Sooner or later, the big business empire will be handed over to the crown prince, and the young President Fu will be their boss.

Since already asked President Fu, naturally waiting for President Fu to express his attitude. Everyone happily echoed, and looking at the BOSS in the middle of the crowd.

President Fu is about 30 years old, and the average age of the senior executives of the Fu Group is 40+, this make the 30-year-old crown prince looks young and promising, in addition, he is very tall and even after being busy for a whole day, standing in the middle of and he is very busy like these. Throughout the day, the appearance of some haggard middle-aged men inevitably appeared more elegant and handsome.

It can be imagined that even though President Fu is not surrounded by people, he still shines brilliantly and attracting people's attention.

However, he probably have to disappoint his subordinates today. President Fu stopped, looked at his watch, and smiled approachably, "Go and play, put the bill under my name, however, I still have something to do, so I'll go home first."

Several senior managers asked in surprise: "Go home? President Fu talking about going back to Long Quan Bay?"

Long Quan Bay is one of the most high-end villa communities in Beijing. Its status is equivalent to the Qian Shui Bay in Hong Kong. Even if you can afford it, if you want to become Long Quan Bay Owners, status and connections are also indispensable.

Of course, their President Fu comes from a prominent family. Even properties on Kensington Palace’s Garden Street can be bought if he wants, so to enter Long Quan Bay only need his one sentence. That's why the group executives were not surprised. It ’s just that Long Quan Bay is too far away from the city center located on the scenic Fragrant Hills. Even though President Fu has the money to make ghosts grind, but there is no way to solve the century-old problem of traffic jams in the morning and evening peak hours. They all know President Fu spent most of his time living at the nearby Guan Cang Hai.

Guan Cang Hai is a high-end hotel under the group and has branches all over the world. President Fu, as the young owner, has reserved exclusive suite for himself. It is said that even the interior decoration is designed for President Fu to enjoying the warmth of home. The hotel is has a 24-hour butler service, and the intimacy is not lost to the nanny at home so it is quite comfortable to live there.

But thinking about working overtime until midnight today, and that there will be a regular meeting tomorrow morning. President Fu will not go back to the hotel nearby to rest, but instead seeks to go far to Long Quan Bay. Isn't it a bit unscientific?

Fu Shiyuan saw that everyone looked at him with concern and full of curiosity, smiled, quite funnily said: "There's no other way, his wife has an ultimatum."

"Haha, understand and understand, then President Fu go home quickly, lest the Mrs worry . "The executives tried to make the same expression of sympathy, but their heart was in agreement --bragging.

They did not listen to the gossip rumors on the Internet that arranged Mrs. Fu's husband and wife on their faces, but they made judgments from the point of view of reality.

It has been six or seven years since Mrs. Fu's world-famous wedding ceremony of the century. At that time, the group was already paying attention to the development of the mainland. President Fu frequently flew to major provinces and cities in the mainland. In recent years, he has adjusted his focus and stayed in Beijing for more than half a year.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Fu is not busy. It is normal for her to visit the company from time to time during President Fu time in Beijing. But in fact, after so many years, they have not seen Mrs. Fu once. Maybe Mrs. Fu is low-key and doesn't like to be involved with people in the company, but she doesn't even attend the reception at the villa, isn't the low-key abit overboard?

Fu ’s executives do n’t gossip on the bright side, but everyone knows it. It ’s impossible for their “Crown Prince” and “Crown Princess” to love each other. It ’s impossible in this life. Respectful to each other just pretending to be a model couple outside. But next door Mr & Mrs. Xi, is inseparable at business activities and private dinners, really has the taste of a perfect couple.

But this has nothing to do with them. Since President Fu has seriously mentioned the reasons, of course they are convinced. During the talk, a black Bentley stopped steadily under the steps. The third three behind the license plate were six, six, eight, and at a glance, they knew that it is the exclusive car of President Fu. The executive who previously proposed to play step forward and opened the door for President Fu, "President Fu, take care."

Fu Shi Yuan thank him politely and said to everyone: "See you tomorrow." And get on the car when he finished talking.
