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

"Study abroad? Which city are you preparing to go to?"

Chen Yu asked subconsciously.

He was quite fond of this young girl, not only because she was beautiful, but also because she had a lot of interesting ideas.

"It seems to be a city called Suzhou City! I'm going there to learn how to be a chef."

Chen Yu's eyes widened in surprise; he rarely saw Westerners go all the way to the East specifically to learn to be a chef.

After all, given the large cultural differences between the East and West, if they trained in the East, they would only be able to stay in the East.

Once they took what they had learned back to the West, it simply wouldn't adapt to the local lifestyle and would inevitably be eliminated.

"So you plan to stay in the East in the future?"

The young girl nodded, "I was an orphan to begin with, and I'm very interested in Eastern culture, so I plan to develop there in the future."

Chen Yu pointed to a small yacht nearby: "That yacht is rented by us; we can go there and chat in detail."

The young girl immediately got excited and followed Chen Yu and his family to the side.

After a brief conversation, Chen Yu learned that the girl's name was Ke Lan.

She grew up in an orphanage and was sent to a Catholic church when she got a little older.

Later, through self-study, she managed to get into a local community college, and she also worked at a restaurant near the beach.

Before this, her life had been very difficult, but now she basically had saved enough money to study abroad and didn't need to put up with the attitude of that chef just now.

As they were chatting and laughing, sudden violent waves surged upon the sea.

[System warning, a tsunami will approach in ten minutes, please evacuate immediately]

Chen Yu's eyes widened as he quickly drove the yacht towards the shore, while using a megaphone to warn the people on the coast.

But everyone scoffed at his warning; after all, it was a clear sky, and it didn't look like a tsunami was possible.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly and could do no more than to leave the area.

Before long, a monstrous wave surged over the sea, instantly overturning all the yachts and boats near the shore, even reaching up onto the beach.

Edinburgh Studios.

As soon as Fang Yuan finished a day's filming, under the guidance of Han Mintao, she entered an ancient-looking palace.

"Miss Fang!" A supremely handsome man reached out to Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fang Yuan also returned a smile, "Mr. Edward, it's truly an honor to meet you here!"

Brown Edward was the head of the current generation of the Edward Family, and the wealth he controlled was beyond the reach of ordinary people for several generations.

"Miss Fang, have you looked over the previous contract? I wonder if this time the collaboration can proceed normally?"

Fang Yuan quickly responded, "Of course it can! However, there are some details we still need to discuss."

Brown laughed elegantly, "Of course, but to complete this contract, we need to reach a private agreement between Miss Fang and myself."

Fang Yuan immediately had a bad feeling, "What agreement?"

"Miss Fang and I are to have a faux engagement!"

Fang Yuan's eyes widened in shock, "What do you mean by this?"

Brown took a bottle of red wine and poured two glasses, "Western resources have been depleted, and expanding overseas resources requires entering the Eastern market, so I need an intimate Eastern face by my side."

Fang Yuan immediately understood that Brown wanted to expand the overseas market by leveraging her identity.

In fact, this was also a fair trade, after all, what Fang Yuan needed now were resources, while what Brown needed was the market.

The benefits were mutual, and on the surface, there seemed to be nothing inappropriate.

Just as Fang Yuan was about to agree, Han Mintao, who had been standing behind her, suddenly stepped forward.

"Mr. Brown, there are some things we need to discuss in detail, after all, engagement is not something to take lightly as a joke."

Brown frowned, such conditions were perfectly normal in the West, and there were even marriages used as content in treaties.

He had already made a considerable concession by bringing the standard down to engagement.

"This is merely a clause in our cooperation! Personally, I don't see any problem, unless you are not genuinely interested in working with me."

Han Mintao frowned, now that Fang Yuan had just gotten a foothold in the West, and before this, he had used some unsavory methods against Zhao Hai, causing the Imperial Capital Zhao Family to lose face.

If he now accepted the engagement with Brown and then went back to the domestic market, it would be like slapping Zhao Hai hard in the face.

The Zhao Family would definitely not let her go!

By that time, it was uncertain whether the Edward Family would be able to continue protecting her and her mother.

"I agree!" Fang Yuan suddenly spoke up, at the same time taking over the contract.

Han Mintao's eyes widened in disbelief and he quickly whispered in her ear.

"Daughter, have you gone mad? Do you realize the Zhao Family in the Imperial Capital is still watching you?"

Fang Yuan's breathing became rapid, "I want to take a gamble! Maybe by using the power of the Edward Family, we can temporarily deter the Zhao Family, gaining some more time."

Han Mintao was worried, "This way, you'll completely fall out with the Zhao Family, and I might not be able to help you in the end."

Fang Yuan bit her lip, "I've made up my mind! Otherwise, I will always be trampled underfoot by Chen Yu!"

Han Mintao sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, I won't say much more."

After the mother and daughter had decided, they immediately signed the agreement.

Once Brown confirmed there were no issues with the contract, he promptly fixed the engagement date and issued wedding invitations.

...

Chen Yu's family of three left the Aegean Sea beach and headed north, arriving at a religious sanctuary.

Ke Lan was also following them the whole way.

Once she knew that Chen Yu and his family came from Suzhou City, Ke Lan couldn't hide her excitement, eagerly playing the role of a guide and showing the family around.

When they entered the religious sanctuary, Chen Yu suddenly noticed huge posters at the entrance of every major church.

The person on them was Fang Yuan.

Tuan Tuan was also stunned upon seeing the posters, "I didn't expect her to get married so soon!"

Chen Yu simply glanced at the poster, then rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head.

"Why bother caring so much? She's a stranger to us now, besides, don't you have your mom already?"

Tuan Tuan giggled and clung tighter to Tong Ya's arm.

The church in front of them had already been decorated for a wedding ceremony, it looked like Fang Yuan and Brown's wedding was going to be held here.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, took a quick look around the church, and then left the place directly.
