After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"What happened?" Chen Yu's frown deepened.

Tuan Tuan also came out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot water at this moment.

"Dad, you're finally here. Mommy has a stomachache and can't go to kindergarten today."

Chen Yu hurried over, sat down beside Tong Ya, and placed his hand over her stomach.

"Does it hurt here?"

Tong Ya immediately made a pained expression and leaned into Chen Yu's embrace.

"My whole stomach hurts, you must rub it for me."

Tang Xiaowei suddenly froze there, questioning her life choices.

When she came up, she hadn't seen Tuan Tuan, only Tong Ya lying on the sofa.

She had just told Tong Ya that her dad was here, and immediately following, Chen Yu came in.

Now, seeing the intimacy between Chen Yu and Tong Ya, coupled with Tuan Tuan's earlier reference, she was momentarily unable to react.

"What do you mean? Are you guys together now?"

Tong Ya looked blissful, "It just happened yesterday!"

Tang Xiaowei took a deep breath, "But downstairs..."

"There are many guests!" Tong Ya interrupted her urgently, "Husband, you better go down first! It's not that serious; I just need to take some medicine and rest a bit."

Chen Yu still looked worried, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's fine, and besides, Xiaowei and Tuan Tuan are here!"

Chen Yu rubbed Tong Ya's stomach a few more times before he stood up and went downstairs.

Once Chen Yu left, Tang Xiaowei gestured with her mouth.

"Your dad is here!"

Tong Ya responded in kind with her mouth, "I know, we just need to hide well."

"But he saw me, and he recognized me!" Tang Xiaowei exclaimed in shock.

Tuan Tuan also seemed taken aback, "Auntie Xiaowei, who recognized you?"

Tang Xiaowei was suddenly embarrassed and unsure how to respond.

Tong Ya quickly waved her hand, "It's nothing! Tuan Tuan, you go back to your room and rest for a while. I need to talk to your Auntie Xiaowei about something."

Tuan Tuan obediently responded and went back to his room, even closing the door behind him.

Tang Xiaowei quickly sat beside Tong Ya, "What should we do? Your dad knows I'm here; he's definitely going to call my dad."

Tong Ya's face showed her dilemma, as the Tong Family and the Tang Family had always had a close business connection.

With Tong Ming's sudden appearance in Suzhou City, Tang Xiaowei's father might be nearby too.

Although Tong Ming and Chen Yu had a sort of mutual admiration when they met last time,

he might not want his daughter playing stepmother to someone else.

Just then, Tong Ya's phone suddenly received a message.

"Where are you now?"

It was a message from Tong Ming.

Before she could reply, Tong Ming sent another message with his location.

"You and Xiaowei are always together. I've met her here, so you must be nearby. Come over here at once."

Tong Ya steadied her nerves. At least for now, Tong Ming didn't know about her and Chen Yu's affair.

"I'm busy with something and can't make it over!"

No sooner had she sent the message than Tong Ming sent back a voice message.

"I've met a very outstanding young man here, worthy of entrusting your life to. Come and meet him right away."

Tong Ya's pupils dilated sharply, and an inexplicable anger surged in her heart.

"Mind your own business," Tong Ya also shouted back in a voice message.

"Stop sulking at me, do you know that your Uncle Tang's daughter is already with someone else! This is the guy I've taken a fancy to, I absolutely cannot let the Tang Family have him."

Tong Ya was instantly dumbfounded when she received this message.

She looked up at Tang Xiaowei with a touch of surprise, "You have a boyfriend?"

Tang Xiaowei's mouth formed an O shape, "How is that possible?"

The two looked at each other, their facial expressions incredibly animated.

After a while, Tang Xiaowei spoke with some uncertainty, "Could your dad be talking about Chen Yu? Maybe he got the wrong idea seeing me here."

Tong Ya was also momentarily stunned, the location Tong Ming had sent was indeed the store's location.

At this place, the only person that could have caught Tong Ming's eye seemed to be Chen Yu.

Tong Ya instinctively took this as the correct assumption, since the man she admired was undeniably excellent.

…

At this moment, Tong Ming was sitting in the lobby on the first floor, angrily sending messages.

He also arranged to meet Tang Long in the store.

When he saw Chen Yu coming downstairs, he went to meet him with the aid of his cane.

"Mr. Chen, do you know about your girlfriend's family background?"

Chen Yu paused for a moment, thinking that the old man was being overly nosy—why was he suddenly asking about his girlfriend?

"We haven't been together very long, she hasn't said much, and I haven't asked much!"

"You're with her without even knowing her family background," Tong Ming sighed with a look of pity, "That's not good, vague backgrounds can lead to future troubles."

Chen Yu frowned, giving Tong Ming a baffled look.

"Sir, I respect you, and I ask that you respect me too. Please don't discuss my girlfriend like this."

Tong Ming quickly waved his hands, "I didn't mean it like that, I'm saying when two people come together, they should at least know each other's backgrounds well."

"I have a daughter, who in terms of looks, definitely does not fall short of your girlfriend, in terms of personality, she's gentle and modest, and she's also studied finance and business management—she's truly a capable woman of the house."

Tong Ming was now tirelessly promoting his own daughter.

It wasn't just because he wanted a long-term meal ticket here, but mainly because he was impressed with the resilience Chen Yu exhibited.

Moreover, in his eyes, Tang Xiaowei was sent by Tang Long as a deliberate attempt to sabotage him.

When he returned to the capital that day, he told Tang Long about what happened in Suzhou City, while also mentioning the idea of marrying off his daughter.

This time, seeing Tang Xiaowei in Chen Yu's store, how could he not be furious?

Chen Yu busied himself with the work at hand while occasionally chatting with Tong Ming.

However, he now felt that the old man before him was just looking to cause trouble.

Trying to marry off his daughter to him as an indirect investment in the store.

So, Chen Yu wore an expression that said, "I've seen through your scheme," and didn't respond directly to Tong Ming.

At half-past nine in the morning, a commercial vehicle, flanked by two security cars, stopped in front of the store.

Following this, an elderly man about the same age as Tong Ming walked into the store with a beaming smile.

"Old Tong, what's the hurry calling me over here?"

Tong Ming glanced at Tang Long with irritation.

"Old Tang! We've been friends for decades, I never thought you would actually try to poach from me."

Tang Long was taken aback, "Where did that come from?"

Tong Ming huffed and then walked over to the display window.

"Mr. Chen, call your girlfriend down, it's this shameless daughter of his."

Chen Yu's face was full of frustration: "May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Tong Ming, leaning on his cane, looked at Tang Long with some anger.

"He is your girlfriend Tang Xiaowei's father!"
