Astrid leong teo5/29/2023 ![]() Kitty Pong, soap opera star-turned social climber: Kitty leaves Alistair Cheng, Nick’s cousin, for Bernard Tai after some (intentional) coercion from Oliver via Su Yi. Oliver T’sien, Su Yi's grand-nephew: Oliver is based in London, knows a great deal about art (hence his job at Christie's), and has spent the better part of the first two books being loyal to his great aunt, no matter the cost. Charlie is now estranged from his wife as he deals with the return of his feelings for Astrid. Michael is competitive AF, has major trust issues, and is no match for Astrid’s family, who are so powerful they can stop a magazine story from printing (by actually buying the magazine company).Ĭharlie Wu, successful billionaire and businessman and Astrid’s ex: Charlie was once engaged to Astrid, when they were young and living in Europe, but her family pretty much broke them up because he wasn’t a billionaire then. Michael Teo, Astrid’s husband: Michael goes through a transformation in China Rich Girlfriend after his tech startup gets a ~magical boost from an anonymous investor (Astrid’s ex Charlie Wu). Her marriage to handsome tech prince Michael Teo begins to crumble in the second book as his tech start-up takes off. Su Yi has four children: three daughters (including Astrid's mom and Eddie's mom) and one son (Nick's dad).Īstrid “the Goddess” Leong Teo, Nick’s cousin: Astrid is as beautiful as the sun and her shopping trips to Paris are what dreams are made of (oh to be a fly one of many walls of her couture closets). In Crazy Rich Asians, she tried to stop Nick from proposing, deeming that Rachel was not from a “proper family.” Hopefully, Su Yi’s changed her mind about that comment now that the identity of Rachel’s father is out in the open. Su Yi, the matriarch of the Shang-Young clan: Su Yi has never been a fan of Rachel. That pretty much sums up what Eleanor is like - she means well, but her actions don't always reflect that. He ends up attending Rachel's wedding in California (as does Nick's mom Eleanor, despite not being invited in the first place).Įleanor and Philip Young, Nick’s mother and father: Eleanor's opinions about Rachel take a 180 when she discovers who Rachel’s real father is. Nick Young and Rachel Chu, the quasi star-crossed lovers and NYU professors of Kevin Kwan’s world: Nick and Rachel are married after a whirlwind reunion with her biological father Bao Gaoliang, a billionaire and powerful politician from Shanghai. ![]() ![]() Here, a cheat sheet to help you sort out some of the major players and storylines from the first two books before you settle down with the third book aboard your private jet/sticky subway seat. In addition to the usual family drama and casual mentions of designer names, there’s a kidnapping, surprise marriage proposal, and yes, more than one billionaire in the mix. ![]() Everything (heirlooms, money, her mansion) is potentially up for grabs and everyone from all corners of the world is interested. Su Yi, Nick’s grandmother, is on her deathbed in Singapore. On May 23, two years after the release of the second book, Kevin Kwan closes out his trilogy with Rich People Problems. Rachel’s world turned upside down in China Rich Girlfriend, first marrying the love of her life, Nick Young, then finding out her biological father is actually pretty filthy rich, too. You met the Youngs, Shangs, and other elite families through the eyes of American-born Rachel Chu in Crazy Rich Asians in 2013.
