Tang Xiaowei instinctively stood at attention and couldn’t help but swallow.
“Tong… Uncle…”
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow involuntarily as he carried several flatbreads and a pound of marinated meat out of the kitchen and handed them to Tang Xiaowei.
“What, you know each other?”
Tang Xiaowei panicked at once, “Only met before!”
Then, she quickly grabbed the tray from Chen Yu’s hands and hurried upstairs.
This left Chen Yu quite puzzled, and he turned his head to cast an inquiring look at Tong Ming.
“She…”
Tong Ming didn’t conceal the truth, “She’s the daughter of a friend of mine, but what is she doing here?”
“She can be considered a VIP around here!” Chen Yu pointed to a mural on the side, “She painted that, and she also drew a comic book to specifically promote my shop.”
Tong Ming was somewhat surprised, “Old Tang’s daughter became a painter?”
Chen Yu didn’t say much more; it was a busy time, and he wasn’t in the mood for idle chatter.
“Old Chen, can you provide fifty flatbreads and twenty pounds of marinated meat right now? I’m in a hurry.”
Xie Jiang entered the shop, wearing a safety helmet and work clothes, looking rather anxious.
“Sure, I’ll pack it up for you right now!” Chen Yu quickly responded.
Xie Jiang was relieved, as he was off to tackle an emergency project.
If he couldn’t get the flatbreads and marinated meat, they would have had to hastily eat something else for lunch.
“Speaking of which, Old Chen, where’s your girlfriend? Why haven’t I seen her today?”
Chen Yu paused in the middle of packing the flatbreads; Tong Ya seemed not to have come downstairs today.
These past few days, every morning when taking Tuan Tuan out, Tong Ya would come to the kitchen to hug him before leaving.
Could something have happened?
“Upstairs!” Chen Yu replied briefly and then asked Chu Hong, who was next to him, to pack up Xie Jiang’s order.
He rubbed his hands together and hurried upstairs.
Tong Ming, who had been sitting aside, suddenly moved close to Xie Jiang.
“This young boss Chen, he’s got a girlfriend now?”
Xie Jiang nodded, “It’s a recent development! Before, Old Chen was divorced with a child, but now it’s good, he’s finally able to find a stepmother for the child and have a complete family.”
Tong Ming became gossipy all at once, “He just said his girlfriend is upstairs, they must be living together already.”
“It seems so!” Xie Jiang nodded, “But Old Chen’s girlfriend is really not bad; not only is she pretty, but she also has a good personality, and she’s quite a good match for Old Chen.”
In the meantime, Chu Hong had finished packing up the flatbreads and marinated meat.
Xie Jiang quickly paid, exchanged a few words with Tong Ming, and then hurried off.
Tong Ming stood there with bulging eyes, stunned for quite a while.
“Just now, Old Tang’s daughter went upstairs, and Boss Chen said that Xiaowei is his VIP, could it be…”
After muttering to himself for a while, Tong Ming suddenly slapped his hands together.
“That Old Tang, too much, I just mentioned his marinated meat to him last time, and he actually sent his daughter out.”
Li Shuai, who was next to him, overheard and quickly came over.
“Manager Tong, are you saying Tang Family’s daughter has become someone’s stepmother?”
“What do you mean stepmother?” Tong Ming was inexplicably irritated, “With such an outstanding young man, what’s wrong with being a stepmother?”
Li Shuai was suddenly scolded, and he was a bit startled.
“Manager Tong, I meant that it’s been over two years since Tang has been looking for his daughter, do you think we should talk to Tang Family about it?”
Without hesitation, Tong Ming took out his cellphone, “Today we have a cooperation project with Tang Family, and it’s agreed to discuss it in Suzhou City; I think we should just meet directly here!”
At this moment, Chen Yu had already gone upstairs. As soon as he entered, he saw Tong Ya holding Tang Xiaowei’s hand, with what seemed to be a pleading look in her eyes.
