Chapter 81: Chapter 81: A Family of Three
Besides, Fang Yuan was now a household name, a big star, while he seemed to be just a guy who ran a shop selling braised snacks.
A gap in status like that meant they couldn\'t possibly have any intersection.
Walking through the corridor, the family entered a clothing store.
The sales associate greeted them warmly, "Are the three of you looking to buy matching family outfits?"
These words were exactly what Tong Ya was hoping for, "Isn\'t this a formal wear shop? You have matching family outfits too?"
The sales associate immediately started introducing them and led them to the family matching area.
Tong Ya spotted a set of light blue and white suits at first glance.
It seemed as if they were tailor-made for the three of them.
After trying on the suits briefly and buying a few sets of clothes in different styles, Tong Ya quietly ran to the counter to pay the bill.
But when Chen Yu found out, he didn\'t blame her, not even uttering an extra word.
He already considered Tong Ya as part of his family.
Once the family of three changed into their new clothes, they immediately attracted the attention of all the sales associates in the store.
"Wow, the good looks of this family are really too high, even higher than the stars shooting an advertisement on the ground floor."
"The dad seems to be about 1.82 meters tall, and the mom about 1.72 meters. The height ratio is simply perfect."
"The child looks like a beautiful combination of both parents\' genes, just like a porcelain doll, too adorable."
...
Although it wasn\'t the first time he had heard such praise, Chen Yu still felt a bit thrilled.
In just one day, the surprises the system brought him were too many.
After buying clothes, they directly took the escalator down to the first-floor plaza.
Tuan Tuan had always wanted to buy a goose down plush from here, but Chen Yu never had the time.
Today, no matter what, he had to buy the plush.
At this moment, all eyes in the plaza were focused on the actors filming the advertisement.
Even the owner of the goose down plush store had run over to join in the bustle.
It was at this time that two burly men suddenly burst out from the crowd, holding a bottle of sulfuric acid, and threw it towards Fang Yuan and a popular young male actor.
The bodyguards who were with them rushed forward to intercept immediately.
The crowd quickly became chaotic, scattering in all directions.
Fang Yuan, along with the other actor, protected by the two bodyguards, ran towards where Chen Yu and his family were.
One of the burly men got around the bodyguard blocking him, his hands gripping the sulfuric acid, and chased after them.
He hadn\'t run two steps before he threw the bottle of acid.
Chen Yu almost instinctively turned his head and saw the acid bottle moving very slowly in his eyes, but from the trajectory of its arc, it seemed like it was going to hit them.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu immediately shielded Tuan Tuan and Tong Ya in his arms and then kicked the acid bottle into a corner with a high kick.
A sizzling noise abruptly filled the air as the stones in the corner were instantly corroded.
Hearing the sound, the people nearby almost simultaneously turned their heads to look at Chen Yu.
Fang Yuan also widened her eyes.
Chen Yu had grown taller and become more handsome, and she did not recognize him at first, but she immediately recognized Tuan Tuan and Tong Ya.
Although she had only met Tong Ya once on that night, Tong Ya\'s face was deeply etched in her mind.
"You meddler!"
The burly man saw his bottle kicked away and drew a knife from his waist, charging at Chen Yu.
But this guy\'s movements were still as slow as a turtle in Chen Yu\'s eyes.
He stepped forward with ease and punched the guy in the face.
The punch sent the big man staggering backward several steps, until he ultimately fell to the ground and passed out.
Chen Yu was also somewhat surprised; his physical fitness wasn\'t ordinary at all.
If he\'d had such skills the last time Tong Ya was held hostage at the convenience store, she wouldn\'t have gotten hurt.
"Daddy is so awesome!" Tuan Tuan pounced, and his little hands were soon in Chen Yu\'s embrace.
Tong Ya too was worried and came over to Chen Yu\'s side to check whether his hand was injured.
Such a heroic act, coupled with the high attractiveness of the family of three, instantly made them the center of attention.
Fang Yuan, who had fled in a panic, clenched her heart when she saw this scene.
Suddenly, she yearned to be the one in Chen Yu\'s arms.
Chen Yu didn\'t enjoy being the center of attention like this and quickly pulled Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan through the crowd, running to the parking lot.
It wasn\'t until Chen Yu drove off from the mall that the family of three collectively sighed in relief.
Tong Ya, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Chen Yu with an almost worshipful gaze.
"Husband, you were so handsome just now! You knocked that guy flying with one punch."
Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders, "When you and Tuan Tuan are in danger, I of course have to give it my all."
No sooner had he spoken than Tong Ya suddenly sat up and kissed Chen Yu on the face.
Tuan Tuan, sitting in the back seat, also stood up, "Daddy, I want a kiss too!"
The family of three chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the farmers\' market.
But Chen Yu was very purposeful, buying some ribs, lotus root slices, chicken, tofu, cucumbers, carrots, scallions, and some condiments.
After finishing their purchases, he directly took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan back to the shop.
At noon, twelve o\'clock, this was the busiest time for the shop.
Takeout orders from nearby office workers came one after another.
The majority of orders were for noodles, pancake, and flavored dishes.
With Wang Qingshan\'s coordination, everything was orderly and flawless.
Chen Yu could now completely let go and leave the shop to Wang Qingshan to manage.
After putting the purchased ingredients back in the fridge, Chen Yu called Auntie Li.
Seeing Chen Yu\'s appearance, Auntie Li couldn\'t help but praise him a few times.
This made Chen Yu feel that his attractiveness was somewhat overwhelming.
He rented two more single apartments from Auntie Li, right beside the two he had rented previously.
Half a year\'s rent for the two rooms, including water but not electricity!
Chen Yu transferred eighteen thousand yuan with no hesitation.
Auntie Li tidied up the contract, was just about to leave, then turned back to look at Chen Yu.
"Xiao Chen, you mentioned before about buying my shop, does that include the five shops I\'ve just taken over?"
Chen Yu didn\'t even have to think, "Of course it includes them! It\'s just that I\'m a bit short on cash right now..."
"Don\'t worry about it! I\'ll keep those shops reserved for you, selling them to someone else would upset me! It\'s just to finalize things with you, so we can prepare the contracts in advance."
"Thank you, Auntie Li!"
Auntie Li responded and, before leaving, even bought some pancakes and flavored dishes.
Having sorted out the dormitory situation, Chen Yu immediately went next door.
"Old Xie, do you still have those double beds from last time? And while you\'re at it, bring me some bedding too."
