- Expect A Crazier Plotline
This sequel has far more bitching, plotting, shady shenanigans, nefarious villainy and all kind of crazy escapades. Bound to keep you on your toes for the next two hours!
As far as storylines go, there's a brief poisoning scandal, (Rachel Chu gets mysteriously poisoned) secret investments (good guy Charlie, back at it again), and a messy affair between Kitty and a much, much older billionaire. OOoOo....Juicy!

Love her or hate her, Kitty Pong is back with a huge vengeance this time as she takes on a bigger role in 'China Rich Girlfriend'. Aligned with her gold digging role in 'Crazy Rich Asians', this time she finds herself sinking her claws (talons) into a crazy rich, older billionaire in Hong Kong. See: Sugar Daddy.
Now who's gonna play Sugar Daddy then? We are curious to find out too!
Be sure to stay tuned for more of her outrageous but highly entertaining antics! And of course more romping around in drastically sexy dresses. Keep our eyes peeled.
3. Move Over Henry Golding and Constance Wu. Gemma Chan (Astrid) will be the main focal point here.

Hands up all those who fell in love with Astrid Leong-Teo (Gemma Chan) from 'Crazy Rich Asians'!
We love her for her poise and elegance, definitely the modern version of the chic Audrey Hepburn. We cannot deny that she was the one who truly stole our hearts in the show.

If you love her fashion sense in the show, you'll be completely psyched for this sequel where she gets more air time!
We were super excited to see that her exciting love story would be the focal point of this new sequel. Yaassss.
The new film also will tell the story of Astrid, the cousin of Golding's character, Nick, with a man named Charlie played by Glee alum Harry Shum Jr.

Remember that surreptitious glance that was exchanged between Astrid and the mysterious stranger at the end? (that's Harry Shum Jr.) Turns out they both had history. He was her ex fiance! Move over Pierre Png...this sequel will talk about their 'tragic love story' and all mysteries will be revealed!
