Chapter 69: Chapter 69: With Great Righteousness

Chen Yu's expression was quite a spectacle.

"Mr. Tong, you've misunderstood, Xiaowei isn't my girlfriend."

Tong Ming's eyes immediately lit up, "She isn't?"

A furious anger erupted from Tang Long's eyes, "What? That disobedient wretch is here?"

Chen Yu nodded, "She's upstairs eating, she just finished a painting these past couple of days, quite exhausted."

Tang Long was immediately so angry he couldn't contain himself, rolling up his sleeves preparing to go upstairs.

"Really went off to paint! She ignores the huge family business I have, and does nothing all day long..."

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward to block Tang Long, "Sir, this is my place after all, so I hope you won't go too far."

Tang Long was stunned, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this.

"And you are?" Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Next to him, Tong Ming coughed twice, "He's the lad I've taken a liking to."

Tang Long raised an eyebrow, "Not humble or arrogant, he's got a bit of Qi Force! Speaking of which, since my daughter Xiaowei is here, what's between you and her..."

"Surname Tong, you're going too far!" Tong Ming grabbed Tang Long's wrist.

Chen Yu felt a bit frustrated, how come both old men wanted to push their daughters onto him?

At this moment, Tong Ya and Tang Xiaowei were hiding around the corner on the third floor, watching everything that was happening in the lobby on the first floor.

"Xiaowei, it looks like the misunderstanding has been cleared, you should go down!"

Tang Xiaowei pouted, "Fine, but you remember this day; you sold out your best sister just to save yourself."

Tong Ya grabbed Tang Xiaowei's arm, soothing her back like she was consoling a child.

"Come on, you know the situation between me and my dad the best! At most, you're just being forced by Uncle Tang to take over the family business, but me..."

"Alright, no more talk!" Tang Xiaowei interrupted with a righteousness, "Remember your promise."

"For the next five years, I've got your meals covered!" Tong Ya made a swearing gesture.

"No, I want ten years!" Tang Xiaowei said defiantly, staring at Tong Ya.

"The rest of your life if need be," Tong Ya said in a hurry.

Based on how things were unfolding in the lobby, she was about to be exposed.

Tang Xiaowei turned her head and straightened her clothes.

She had swapped her previous doll-like attire for a rather stylish women's suit.

"The wind is bleak, the waters of Yi chilled, a warrior departs, never to return!"

Muttering a line of poetry to psych herself up, Tang Xiaowei then headed straight downstairs.

"Uncle Tong."

She called out with a polite hum and then went directly to Tang Long and Tong Ming.

However, her appearance made Chen Yu pause for a moment.

The previously cute and adorable look had vanished, replaced by the efficiency of a tycoon's daughter.

With the cane in his hand, Tang Long tapped the ground, "Don't you see your father standing here? Not even a greeting, no manners at all!"

Tang Xiaowei's throat moved slightly, and after a long pause, she quietly called out, "Dad!"

But that one word diminished much of the anger on Tang Long's face.

"Became a painter?"

Tang Xiaowei nodded, "Mhm."

Tang Long let out a long sigh, "I never completely opposed your hobby in the first place! You can paint, but you also need to take the time to manage some of the family affairs."

"But you, you just ran off for years on end!"

Though his words sounded incredibly stern, Tang Xiaowei felt a warmth in her heart.

And with the atmosphere already built up to this point, if she didn't kneel down for a father-daughter reunion, it would be an injustice to the scene.

Just as she was about to step forward, Tong Ming suddenly began to inquire.

"Xiaowei, where is that unfilial daughter of mine? Where is she?"

In that instant, all the emotion and ambiance welling up inside Tang Xiaowei dissipated into nothingness.

"She... she's on a business trip... Yes, a business trip!"

Tong Ming naturally knew that Tang Xiaowei was fobbing him off.

"You tell her when you turn around, that she can either not come home or not recognize me as her father, either works! But she must marry the man I've chosen for her, and at least give me a decent grandson, or even a granddaughter will do! It'd also give this old man a glimmer of hope to see."

Tang Xiaowei still responded very politely, and then she suddenly looked up at Chen Yu.

"Uncle Tong, is the person you've chosen none other than Boss Chen?"

Tong Ming coughed lightly, "Such an outstanding young man, who wouldn't like him? Especially his cooking skills..."

At this point, Tong Ming involuntarily swallowed.

Tang Xiaowei also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you don't have to worry, I think she will definitely take a liking to Boss Chen."

Chen Yu instantly felt unhappy, as if these three people could decide his lifelong matter with just a few words.

"I already have a girlfriend, so there's no need for everyone to worry! Since Xiaowei and Mr. Tang have reunited today, I'll play the host..."

"Great!" Tong Ming eagerly waved, "Two more servings of each flavor, please!"

After he spoke, Tong Ming leaned in towards Chen Yu once more, "Xiao Chen, my daughter is definitely an excellent choice, take some time to think about it, and I'll send her over later so you can meet her."

Chen Yu's brows knitted tightly, "Mr. Tong, about my personal matters, aren't you..."

"Let's not talk about this now, time will tell!"

The last time Tang Long had listened to Tong Ming, he had praised this restaurant's braised dishes to the skies.

As soon as the first plate was served, he couldn't wait to take a bite.

"Hmm! Delicious, tender and refreshing, fat but not greasy, soft without falling apart! Old Tang, no wonder you want to send off your daughter, you're trading for a lifetime meal ticket!"

Tong Ming laughed heartily without saying much more.

Only after they had finished eating and left did Tong Ya, who had been hiding around the corner on the third floor, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom, you've been squatting here for quite some time. Have you been secretly watching Dad?"

Caught off guard, Tong Ya quickly composed herself.

"Yes, don't you think that from here, the side profile of your dad is particularly handsome?"

Tuan Tuan peered skeptically around the corner.

"I don't see anything special!"

Tong Ya coughed lightly, "Alright, my stomach has been hurting all morning, and I'm a bit hungry now; let's have Dad get us something to eat."

Tuan Tuan clapped her hands subconsciously, but on second thought, she found Tong Ya's words a bit awkward.

However, she didn't ponder it much and skipped down the stairs, pulling on Tong Ya's hand.

It was already past two in the afternoon by then, and the crowds had thinned out.

Chen Yu also had a moment of leisure, finding a table to sit down at.

"Daddy, Mommy is hungry," Tuan Tuan declared, sitting directly opposite Chen Yu.

Chen Yu quickly stood up to steady Tong Ya, "How are you feeling? Better?"

"Much better. If you would kiss me again, I would be completely healed!"

Tong Ya's voice was very low, and her tone carried a different kind of charm, making Chen Yu's heart flutter.

With evident affection, he pinched Tong Ya's nose and then brought out a bottle of hot milk.

"Have some milk first to warm up your stomach. We'll eat the rest slowly; otherwise, your stomach might start hurting again."

While talking, Chen Yu rubbed Tong Ya's head as if soothing a child.
