After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing what the chubby boy's father said, the waiter maintained a professional smile and said in a way that avoided offending anyone, "Hello sir, our restaurant has a clear policy that we must provide a warm welcome to anyone who comes to dine. There is no reason to kick anyone out!"

Hearing the waitress's mechanical reply, the chubby little boy's father looked at her angrily and said, "You need to understand that I am a VIP here. VIPs should receive more enthusiastic and attentive service than others. If you can't even do something as simple as this, what's the point of me having a VIP card at your restaurant?"

Judging from his attire, the waitress could tell that the aggressive man in front of her had a higher social status than Ma Lu and Xu Bo'an. However, she was just a waitress in a restaurant. All she had to do was perform her job and follow the restaurant's rules to earn her wages. There was no need for her to bother judging who was poor and who was rich and to treat them differently. Wouldn't that just be adding to her workload for no reason?

After listening to the man's words, the waiter politely said to him, "Hello, sir, the VIP card only allows you to enjoy priority service at our restaurant, such as faster food service and a more pleasant dining environment. However, I'm sorry, I cannot help you with turning away customers!"

Upon hearing the waitress's words, the man immediately flew into a rage and shouted at her, "Can't you even handle this simple matter? Then call your manager over here right now!"

The waiter said, "Sir, I'm so sorry, our manager is away on a business trip these days and won't be back for a few more days!"

Upon hearing the waiter's words, the man angrily retorted, "So you're saying this matter can't be resolved? Let me tell you, if you don't settle this today, I'll have your manager and boss fire you!"

The waiter was at a loss for words after hearing what the man said. After all, the person in front of him was a VIP here. If he knew the manager, what would happen if he told the manager to fire him?
Although she could work as a waitress anywhere, she had been working here for a long time and was familiar with all the operations. Most importantly, the salary here was relatively high, and she didn't want to leave. However, she really had no reason to drive away the customers!
Xu Bo'an noticed the waitress's predicament. Just as the man was hesitating, Xu Bo'an said to him, "The waitress has it tough too, so don't make things difficult for her. We won't hold this against you. Let's leave it at that for today and not bother each other!"

Ma Lu looked at Xu Bo'an with great confusion after hearing his words. He thought Xu Bo'an was there to help him out of a predicament, but it turned out he was there to be a peacemaker? This wasn't like Xu Bo'an at all! What was wrong with Xu Bo'an? Could it be that he had figured out the identity of the people in front of him, and that the family was someone even Xu Bo'an couldn't afford to offend?

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the woman looked at Xu Bo'an and Ma Lu with a contemptuous smile and said, "If you had been so sensible earlier, would you have needed to waste so much breath? Unfortunately, you're only speaking now, too late! Let me tell you, this isn't about whether you ask us to apologize or not, but about the precious time you've wasted. Do you know how valuable my husband's time is? One day of his time can earn you a year's salary. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate us for wasting so much of our time?"

After hearing the woman's unreasonable words, Ma Lu said to her, "Aren't you going a bit too far? You were the ones who provoked us first. We were already planning to let this go, so how dare you ask us for compensation? You're shameless!"

After hearing Ma Lu's words, the woman said, "Ha, it's a fact that your daughter Ma Shiyao is adopted, right? It's also a fact that you're poor, right? We're just stating the facts, so why are you picking on us?"

When Ma Lu heard the woman explain things in such a refined and elegant way, he said to her, "You really are an unreasonable and sophistry-like woman. No wonder you gave birth to such a son. Like father, like son!"

Just as the woman was about to retort to Ma Lu, the little boy's father's phone rang, and the man answered it.

After hanging up the phone, the man said to his wife and son, "We can't have dinner together today. I have something urgent to attend to. Let's go now. We'll come back another day to have dinner with you!"

The woman said, "But this matter hasn't been resolved yet. Wouldn't it be letting them off easy if we just left like this?"

The man said, "I'm going to negotiate a big deal right now. Which one do you think is more important? As for our son's matter, we'll settle accounts with them sooner or later!"

After saying that, the man left, and the woman and child followed him out of the restaurant. Before leaving, the woman turned back to look at Ma Lu and the others and said, "You just wait, I will definitely settle the score with you!"

The chubby little boy named Li Ruihang turned around, made a face at Panpan, and then the group left the restaurant.

The waiter breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw them leave the restaurant. He was so glad they left, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do if they had stayed and he had to deal with this matter.

Xu Bo'an noticed the waitress's actions and said to her, "There's nothing for you here, you can continue with your work!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the waiter seemed to have escaped a disaster. He nodded politely to Xu Bo'an and left.

Ma Lu said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, why did you... just now? Oh well, never mind, it's nothing. Are you here to eat today too?"

Xu Bo'an knew what Ma Lu wanted to ask, but was probably too embarrassed to ask, so he said to Ma Lu, "Do you want to ask me why I suddenly stopped arguing with them just now?"

Ma Lu looked at Xu Bo'an and nodded, saying truthfully, "Nothing escapes your eyes. To be honest, that's exactly what I wanted to ask. Did you realize that person is a very capable individual?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Ma Lu and smiled, saying, "How could that be? Someone with that kind of character, what kind of important person could he be? At most, he's just an ordinary citizen. The reason I said that is because I feel we don't need to argue with him about these useless things. Your wife is pregnant, and if they really upset her and something bad happens, it would be a loss. If Panpan is always being bullied by that kid at school, we might as well go directly to the school and find the teacher to resolve this matter!"

Ma Lu looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but that family must have given a lot of benefits to the school teachers behind the scenes to bully our Panpan like this. I'm worried that even if we go to the teachers, they definitely won't side with us!"
Not only will our words be ineffective, but the teacher might also develop a negative opinion of our Panpan. If it's a clear case of differential treatment, Panpan will definitely be able to tell, but if it's a dirty trick played behind her back, a child as young as Panpan certainly won't be able to tell!

Xu Bo'an was well aware of Ma Lu's concerns, but given his connections in Dongjiang, resolving this matter shouldn't be difficult. He told Ma Lu, "Don't worry, Panpan is my goddaughter. I'll handle this for you. I'll go to the school with you first thing tomorrow morning to talk to the teacher and resolve this in person!"

Ma Lu nodded to Xu Bo'an and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Ma Lu, "Do we need to be so polite with each other? By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Ma Lu said to Xu Bo'an, "I ran into that unlucky guy as soon as I walked in, and I haven't even had a chance to eat yet!" Xu Bo'an said, "That's perfect, come eat with me!"

Ma Lu said, "You're definitely not alone! It's best not to bother you! We can eat by ourselves!"

Ma Lu figured Xu Bo'an must be here to discuss business today, and it wouldn't be good if he interfered with him.

Xu Bo'an said, "It's alright, I'm just here to have dinner with some friends today, there's nothing important, let's go together!"

Before Ma Lu could even speak, Panpan clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Great! That's wonderful! I love my godfather! I'm going to eat with him!"

Seeing how happy Panpan was, Xu Bo'an grabbed her hand and said to Ma Lu, "Look how happy Panpan is! Come on! Let's go together! Don't spoil the fun!"

After saying that, he pulled Panpan away first, and Ma Lu and Shi Xinyi followed!

Xu Bo'an returned to the table where he had just eaten with Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao, and introduced her to Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao: "This is my goddaughter, isn't she cute?"

As soon as Xu Bo'an finished introducing Panpan, he politely greeted Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao, saying, "Hello, beautiful sister and handsome uncle. My name is Ma Shiyao, and my nickname is Panpan. You can just call me by my nickname. It's nice to meet you!"

Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao were very fond of Panpan, who was not only beautiful and cute but also very polite. They looked at Panpan and said in unison, "What an adorable little girl!"

Then I introduced Ma Lu and Shi Xinyi to them!
Xu Bo'an said, "I ran into my friends at the restaurant just now, so I invited them to come and eat with me. You don't mind, do you?"

Shi Xinyi's mother had met Bai Susu when she was hospitalized at Dongjiang No. 2 Hospital, so Ma Lu and Shi Xinyi knew Bai Susu. Bai Susu said, "No problem, no problem, come and sit down quickly, it's more lively when there are more people!"

To be honest, Zhao Yuntao wasn't too happy about it. He had invited Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu to dinner today precisely to tease them. With his keen eye for women, he could tell that Bai Susu liked Xu Bo'an. If he could help her, Bai Susu would confess to Xu Bo'an sooner, allowing him to win the bet with Xu Bo'an sooner. But with so many people around, how could he possibly be so forward?

But since Xu Bo'an has already brought the person here, I can't very well send them away!

So Zhao Yuntao chimed in, "Yes, yes, food tastes better when there are more people!"

Ma Lu and Shi Xinyi said very politely to Bai Susu and Zhao Yuntao, "Then we're sorry to bother you!"

After everyone sat down, Panpan blinked her big eyes and stared at Bai Susu. Bai Susu looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression and said, "Panpan, why are you staring at your sister? Is there something on my face?"

Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Panpan covered her mouth with her little hand and laughed, saying to Bai Susu, "Yes, sister, there really is something on your face? But it's not dirt, it's a flower on your face?"

Bai Susu was even more confused after hearing Panpan's words. Thinking that she had just eaten broccoli, she assumed that she had accidentally left some broccoli residue on the corner of her mouth while eating it. She quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth, then said to Panpan, "Blossom? What broccoli? Oh, I guess I accidentally left some broccoli residue on the corner of my mouth while eating it. I'm so sorry, it's all gone now!"

Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Panpan covered her mouth with her little hands and laughed even harder. Seeing this, Shi Xinyi quickly said to Panpan, "Panpan, it's normal for people to accidentally get food on their mouths while eating. Laughing like that is very impolite!"

After hearing her mother's words of admiration, Panpan quickly waved her little hand at her mother and said, "No, no, Mom, I'm not making fun of my sister. I just want to say that my sister is so beautiful. Her face is as beautiful as a blooming flower!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing Panpan's childish words.

Bai Susu said, "Panpan, you are so cute! I wish I could have a child as cute and beautiful as you in the future!"

Panpan looked at Bai Susu and said, "Sister, since you like it so much, why don't you have one soon!"

Bai Susu said to Panpan, "Sister isn't married yet, so she can't have children!"

Panpan looked at Bai Susu, seemingly understanding but not quite, and said, "Then, sister, if you hurry up and get married, you can have children, right?"

Bai Susu said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, it's a bit too early to talk about marriage!"

Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Panpan's eyes widened as she looked at Bai Susu and said, "Sister, you're so beautiful, you must have many boys pursuing you, right? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" (End of Chapter)
