After the divorce, I became a mountain god

"Dongjiang Yashe" – just from the name, you can tell that the restaurant has a quiet and refined dining environment. This restaurant is a high-end local specialty restaurant in Dongjiang, which combines cultural heritage with elegance, making it a very nice place.

Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao on the phone, "Good, you've got a conscience! What time are you going?"

Zhao Yuntao said, "It depends on your time! But remember to bring Dr. Bai Susu along!"

Xu Bo'an was explaining a medical concept to Bai Susu when he was only halfway through. He had to finish explaining it before he could finish. Then he said to Zhao Yuntao, "I knew you weren't up to any good. I'm busy right now. Let's wait a bit, around seven o'clock!"

Zhao Yuntao chuckled into the phone and said to Xu Bo'an, "Okay, I'll head out in a bit and wait for you there!"

After the two hung up the phone, Xu Bo'an finished explaining the medical knowledge point to Bai Susu, and then drove Bai Susu to Dongjiang Yashe.

Dongjiang Yashe was not far from Xu Bo'an's home, about fifteen minutes away. After parking the car, Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu walked into Dongjiang Yashe together.

After entering the restaurant, Xu Bo'an saw Zhao Yuntao waving to him from afar, so he and Bai Susu went to the table where Zhao Yuntao was.

Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and said with a grin, "I was thinking you two were a perfect couple from afar, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be you and Dr. Bai!"

Bai Susu blushed instantly at Zhao Yuntao's sudden teasing, and lowered her head without saying a word.

Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao, "Don't give me that, kid. You specifically told me on the phone to bring Dr. Bai Susu with me!"

Zhao Yuntao said to Xu Bo'an, "Of course, you're my good buddy, and in my heart, Bai Susu is the best candidate for my future sister-in-law. How could I not call her that?"

Ever since Zhao Yuntao made the bet with Xu Bo'an, he would seize any opportunity to tease Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an. This guy really knows how to pick his moments!

It has to be said that Zhao Yuntao's trick is quite effective. Just like in daily life, if a man and a woman who are indifferent to each other are often teased by others, the chances of them getting together are very high.

This trick is especially effective on girls, and that's why Zhao Yuntao always teases Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu.

Regardless of Xu Bo'an's thoughts, as long as Zhao Yuntao's teasing could strengthen Bai Susu's feelings for him, he would win the bet when she confessed her love to Xu Bo'an. Therefore, whether Zhao Yuntao's teasing would have any effect on Xu Bo'an was not even a consideration for Zhao Yuntao.

Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao, "Zhao Yuntao, aren't you going a bit too far? Bai Susu is right here, and you're saying this in front of her. It's making her very embarrassed."

Before Zhao Yuntao could even speak, Bai Susu, blushing slightly, said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, it's alright. Zhao Yuntao is just joking. I won't take it to heart!"

Zhao Yuntao chuckled upon hearing Bai Susu's words and said to Xu Bo'an with a smile, "Did you see that? My sister-in-law is so generous! What are you, a grown man, acting all coy about?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and said, "Alright, alright, all we've heard since we sat down is you chattering away, and we haven't even ordered yet!"

Zhao Yuntao smiled at Xu Bo'an and said, "Mr. Xu, please order whatever you like!"

Following the principle of ladies first, Xu Bo'an said to Bai Susu, "Mr. Zhao is treating us to dinner today. Feel free to order whatever you like!"

Zhao Yuntao smiled and looked at Bai Susu, saying, "That's right, sister-in-law, you don't need to save me money. Just order whatever you want to eat!"

After hearing Zhao Yuntao say this, Xu Bo'an glanced at him with an annoyed look and said nothing.

Throughout the day, Zhao Yuntao kept calling Bai Susu "sister-in-law." Although Bai Susu was still shy when she heard Zhao Yuntao address her as such, she didn't feel any resistance at all.

Bai Susu knew Xu Bo'an and Zhao Yuntao's character. Since the two grown men had asked her to order, she should just do it. There was no point in refusing; otherwise, going back and forth would be a waste of time.

After ordering two local specialties from Dongjiang from the menu, Bai Susu pushed the menu in front of Xu Bo'an and Zhao Yuntao and said, "Okay, I've ordered. You can order the rest!"

Just then, Xu Bo'an heard a commotion. With his keen senses, he recognized a familiar male voice in the noise and said to Zhao Yuntao, "Zhao Yuntao, you can order the rest of the dishes!"

Zhao Yuntao said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright, since you asked me to order, I won't stand on ceremony. Don't blame me later for not giving you the right to choose when I'm asking you to order!"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and said, "You talk too much. Do you think your brother is that petty?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and chuckled.

Xu Bo'an ignored Zhao Yuntao and instead focused on listening to the commotion he had overheard earlier.

Upon closer listening, Xu Bo'an recognized the familiar voice as belonging to his good buddy, Ma Lu.

After saying a brief greeting to Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao, Xu Bo'an left, heading in the direction of the sound he had just heard.

"Dongjiang Yashe" is the largest restaurant in Dongjiang City with local specialties. The restaurant occupies a fairly large area. Xu Bo'an walked through a long corridor and saw Ma Lu and his family, so he walked towards them. At this moment, Ma Lu was arguing with a man of similar age across the street and did not see Xu Bo'an's arrival. It was Ma Lu's daughter, Ma Shiyao, the little girl named Panpan whom Ma Lu had previously adopted from the orphanage, who saw Xu Bo'an first and ran up to him, calling out, "Godfather, Godfather, you're here!"

When Ma Lu and his wife heard their daughter's voice, they followed her gaze and saw Xu Bo'an. They said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, what are you doing here?"

Xu Bo'an said, "I came here to eat! What's going on with you? Why are you arguing with someone?"

Before Ma Lu could speak, Panpan pointed her little finger at a slightly chubby boy across from her and said to Xu Bo'an, "Godfather, it's all because of Li Ruihang. He bullied me first, and that's why my dad argued with them!"

The little boy next to him was furious when he saw Ma Shiyao pointing at him with her finger. He glared at Ma Shiyao with a fierce look and said, "You poor wretch, how dare you point at me? You're tired of living!"

As he spoke, he reached out to try and slap Ma Shiyao's hand away. Just as his chubby little hand was about to hit Ma Shiyao, Xu Bo'an reached out and slapped the boy's hand down.

Then he said to the little boy, "Little friend, do you know that it's very impolite of you to talk to others like that!"

The little boy, whose hand had just been slapped by Xu Bo'an, looked at Xu Bo'an angrily and said, "Where did you come from? What business is it of yours to me?"

Xu Bo'an was truly surprised that a child could speak so arrogantly and rudely. However, since he was still just a child, Xu Bo'an wasn't particularly angry. Instead, he bent down and spoke to the chubby boy in a rather stern tone: "Little friend, didn't your parents tell you that this kind of behavior is very impolite? Listen to your uncle, never speak like that again! Otherwise, someone with a bad temper might spank your little bottom!"

No sooner had Xu Bo'an finished speaking than a woman pulled him away, hugged the chubby little boy, and said to Xu Bo'an rudely, "Who do you think you are? How my son speaks is none of your business."

The woman who spoke at this moment was the mother of the chubby little boy. She was probably in her thirties, tall, with long, wavy hair and high heels, and looked very fashionable.

Xu Bo'an looked at the woman and said irritably, "So you're this child's parent! No wonder this child speaks so rudely and has no basic manners. It's because he has a parent like you who has no manners at all."

Although Xu Bo'an didn't know why Ma Lu had argued with this family, he could tell from the mother and son's words that they were not easy to deal with, so Xu Bo'an didn't need to be polite to them.

The woman became even angrier when Xu Bo'an accused her of lacking manners, and said to him, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

Before Xu Bo'an could speak, Ma Lu's daughter, Panpan, ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and said to the woman, "Hmph, he's not an outsider at all! He's my godfather! You bullied me just now, so of course my godfather has to stand up for me!"

Hearing Panpan's fierce yet childish voice, Xu Bo'an looked at her tender little face with great affection and said with a smile, "Our Panpan is such a cute little girl, there's no need for her to get so angry with such a low-class person. I can handle this with your godfather!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Panpan nodded obediently to him!
The chubby little boy mocked Panpan and Xu Bo'an, saying, "Your biological father is a poor man, so your godfather is definitely not rich either!"

The chubby little boy's mother looked at Xu Bo'an with disdain and said, "My son is absolutely right. Birds of a feather flock together. They're all poor bastards. Even if they band together, they won't find warmth! Hahaha..."

Ma Lu was furious when he heard the woman's words. She could talk about herself, but she was very angry about Xu Bo'an. After all, Xu Bo'an had helped him so much. The relationship between him and Xu Bo'an was no longer just that of ordinary classmates and friends. In Ma Lu's heart, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Xu Bo'an was his second father!

Xu Bo'an helped his mother-in-law recover from her illness, which allowed her to reconcile with Shi Xinyi. Now, they not only adopted Panpan, such a well-behaved and sensible daughter, but Xinyi is also pregnant with twins of their own. The whole family is living happily together, all thanks to Xu Bo'an.

A while ago, he arranged for himself and his wife to work at his pharmaceutical factory and even provided them with housing. He not only took care of them in their daily lives but also arranged their work very well.

After his mother-in-law opposed his relationship with Shi Xinyi, the two were forced to divorce. At the lowest point in his life, Ma Lu came to Dongjiang to seek refuge with Xu Bo'an. Xu Bo'an was essentially the guide who pulled him from darkness to light.

In short, Xu Bo'an now holds an extremely important place in Ma Lu's heart, so how could he tolerate others speaking so rudely to Xu Bo'an?

Ma Lu said to the stylishly dressed woman, "Are you asking for a beating? You've already talked about me enough, but how dare you talk about my brother? Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

After hearing Ma Lu's words, the woman looked at him and smiled disdainfully. Then she walked up to Ma Lu, raised her head, and said, "Heh, if you dare, believe me, my husband will throw you out in a heartbeat!"

Seeing the woman's defiant attitude, Ma Lu angrily said, "Then I'll show you whether I dare or not."

After saying that, Ma Lu was about to reach out when Xu Bo'an quickly stopped him, saying, "Ma Lu, don't be so impulsive, it's unnecessary!"

Ma Lu lowered his hand after hearing Xu Bo'an's words.

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the stylishly dressed woman immediately laughed and said, "Haha, I knew it! How dare someone of your social standing offend us! What a joke!"

Just then, the woman's husband walked over. He had noticed something was wrong as soon as he came in, and hurried over to his wife and son, asking with a concerned look, "Wife, son, what's wrong?"

Before the stylishly dressed woman could speak, the chubby little boy, seeing his father, immediately ran to him, hugged his leg, and looked up at him, saying, "Dad, Dad, when Mom and I came in, we ran into my classmate Ma Shiyao. I told her, 'A poor wretch like you doesn't deserve to eat at the same place as me.' After I said that, I made a face at her, and she got angry. Then her dad started arguing with Mom and me! That's so unfair!"

The stylishly dressed woman chimed in, "Our son is right! Not only that, but his godfather is here yelling at us too. When have we ever been treated like this? Honey, you have to stand up for me and our son!" (End of Chapter)
