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

```

The speaker was the leading figure in the entertainment industry of the imperial capital, with several studios under his belt, a person who could be said to call the wind and summon the rain.

However, in front of the several super families, he was nothing at all.

Chen Yu didn't answer immediately, but instead sat down on a sofa nearby with Tong Ya.

"Do you all feel the same way?"

This rhetorical question startled everyone, as it showed that Chen Yu fundamentally disagreed with their proposal.

A portion of the people immediately fell silent, while others remained animated.

They more or less held some lifelines of their respective industries in their hands and tended to be arrogant in their speech and actions, not taking the super families seriously at all.

Chen Yu swept his gaze over these people and took a mental note of their faces.

"No, I don't want to set up a distribution plan for everyone; it's just that I don't have an accurate assessment of the Zhao Family's assets!"

"What if we set it now, and later you all feel you've got less than you deserve, what then?"

The crowd briefly fell silent again before resuming their discussion.

The Zhao Family was originally one of the super families of the imperial capital, with vast industrial holdings and immeasurable wealth.

Although the total assets reported on the surface were twenty-seven trillion, who knew how much more they had hidden away?

Those who were clamoring for a plan to be made also tempered their insistence, and after discussing some details, everyone dispersed.

Once these people had left, Chen Yu threw a stack of contracts on the table into the trash can.

"These people really want an inch and will take a mile, they haven't even dealt with the situation yet and are already trying to pocket the benefits!"

Tong Ya leaned against Chen Yu, comforting him continuously.

"These people are local snakes in the imperial capital; if we don't promise them benefits in advance, this group might create difficulties for our plan, just like Zhao Jia."

Chen Yu naturally knew this truth as well, so he didn't say much else, but simply rubbed his temples and went to sleep.

The next morning at ten o'clock, Tong Ya, after a simple makeup, headed straight for a restaurant on the Third Avenue of the imperial capital.

The restaurant's location could not be considered the best, nor its decor luxurious, but it possessed an ancient charm.

Judging by its structure, it should have been built at the beginning of the nineteenth century, having a history of over a hundred years by now.

Zhao Hai had early on set up a table in the hall, anxiously waiting.

This place was originally an asset of the Zhao Family, and he had cleared out everyone in the vicinity early in the morning, creating a vacuum state, specifically waiting for Tong Ya.

Since the morning, the prepared meals didn't know how many times they had been remade, causing Zhao Hai's mentality to almost collapse.

When the security reported Tong Ya's appearance, Zhao Hai couldn't have been more excited, eagerly going out to meet her like a lackey.

Tong Ya, however, appeared extremely indifferent, merely giving him a cold glance before walking straight into the room and sitting down at a side.

"Mr. Zhao hurriedly asked to meet, what explosive news do you have? If your news isn't worth much, don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up."

Zhao Hai laughed arrogantly, his face full of confidence, and then took out some documents from his person.

"I have long since investigated clearly for Miss Tong; that Chen Yu had already been married while in Suzhou City, and his spouse is none other than the current first lady of the Edward Family, their child is now studying in this elementary school."

Tong Ya didn't want to look at these documents; she knew far more than the Zhao Family ever could.

"Is that all?"

```

Zhao Hai was momentarily confused. Weren't these materials enough to drive a woman insane?

"Miss Tong, seeing as this Chen Yu guy has deceived you like this, showing utter disregard for the Tong Family, how about the Zhao Family and Tong Family join hands to take him down first? Then we can swallow up the other families in Suzhou City. When that time comes..."

"When that time comes, the Zhao Family will seize the opportunity to take down my Tong Family!" Tong Ya cut off Zhao Hai immediately and then pulled out several photographs and laid them out.

"There are some things I'd rather not discuss openly, but since Mr. Zhao has taken action, I can't keep hiding it."

When Zhao Hai saw these photographs, his eyes were filled with shock and horror.

They were group photos of Chen Yu, Tong Ya, and Tuan Tuan, with Chen Yu's parents also in them.

"Miss Tong... you've known all along?"

Zhao Hai began to doubt his life choices. How could someone with the status of Tong Ya possibly end up with a divorcee with a child?

"This isn't about knowing or not knowing! The child is named Tuan Tuan and she's my biological daughter."

Zhao Hai's mouth hung open, too surprised to speak.

"How is that possible? Miss Tong, you're so young, and this child looks to be at least six or seven years old. How could she be your daughter?"

Tong Ya made a helpless gesture.

"Chen Yu and I met a long time ago, and we were engaged at a very early age. I just hadn't finished my studies yet, so it was delayed!"

"As for the child, although I was of age then, I was still young, so I could only keep it secret."

As she spoke, Tong Ya produced several other sets of photos.

They appeared to show her and Fang Yuan signing some documents.

If a professional were to look at them, they would easily discern that these photos were staged with the subjects made up to look younger.

Yet these photos were made to appear very authentic. They were even treated with potassium permanganate to age and yellow them.

Of course, someone like Zhao Hai wouldn't be able to detect that.

"This is one of the Tong Family's secrets! At that time, to protect me, my father hired an actress to have a fake marriage with Chen Yu. After some time, they would divorce, and then I would return. I had not expected such a plan to concern Mr. Zhao so much."

Zhao Hai's body shook violently, he hadn't anticipated Tong Ya would pull such a move.

"No, that's not right! You went abroad as an exchange student when you were eighteen, I saw you then and you showed no sign of being pregnant."

Tong Ya remained calm, "Then tell me, why would I suddenly go abroad to study?"

This ambiguous response completely baffled Zhao Hai.

Just then, a swarm of reporters burst in from nowhere, frantically taking pictures of the photos on the table.

"Miss Tong, are these things true?"

"Did you really have a daughter for Mr. Chen when you were eighteen?"

"Miss Tong, can you share with us the details of your love story?"

"I heard that Mr. Tong plans to train Mr. Chen as the sole heir. Is all this based on your love story?"

...

It was obvious that these reporters had been arranged in advance; the questions they started with were somewhat private, but as it continued, the direction was swayed somewhat off course.

It seemed as if these reporters had appeared suddenly just to embellish the love story between Chen Yu and Tong Ya.
