Alexandra “Alix” Cheng is Malcom’s wife and one of Nick’s aunts. She has three children, Eddie, Cecelia, and Alistair, whom she worries about incessantly. Though the Chengs are extremely wealthy, Alexandra doesn’t dress or act like a wealthy woman: she wears a frumpy dress to the Khoo wedding, and she insists on staying in the small flat where she raised her children despite being able to afford something bigger and newer.

It became an obsession of his, and he kept a spreadsheet on his home computer, diligently updating it every week based on property valuations and then calculating his potential future share. No matter how he ran the numbers, he realized he would most likely never make Fortune Asia’s list of “Hong Kong’s Top Ten Richest” with the way his parents were handling things.
