Chapter 423: Four hundred and twenty three Tang Tang offers attentive service_1

Gu Chen kept his brows furrowed, not knowing what was going on.

Could it be that Ji Pianran had come to pick up Xiao Tangtang?

He felt that was unlikely because, according to his judgment, Ji Pianran should be at the company pondering over the advertisement slogan he discussed with her last night.

Not seeing Xiao Tangtang, Gu Chen took the initiative to walk into the kindergarten.

The security guard at the door stopped Gu Chen.

The kindergarten’s security was high, not just anyone could enter casually.

Gu Chen declared his identity as a parent.

Then, after the security guard made a call to verify, he let Gu Chen in.

Upon arriving at the teacher’s office, Gu Chen saw many children inside.

Including our Xiao Tangtang.

At that moment, Xiao Tangtang was standing there, puffing up in anger, her little eyes glaring furiously at another child in the distance.

"Xiao Tangtang’s parent?" A substitute teacher Gu Chen had never met before was sitting there.

"Yes, I’m Tangtang’s father," Gu Chen said.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s voice, Xiao Tangtang immediately turned her head around.

Seeing Gu Chen, she instantly lost the puffed-up demeanor she had just before.

Instead, she looked at Gu Chen with a little bit of fear and a touch of nervousness.

Gu Chen surveyed the scene and knew trouble had arisen.

"Xiao Tangtang’s father, I am today’s substitute teacher."

"There was a little incident in the class today, so the children are staying in the office, and I was just about to inform all the parents to come over," the teacher told Gu Chen.

Gu Chen fully understood the teacher’s work, which was a sign of a responsible teacher.

"Teacher, what exactly happened?" Gu Chen asked the teacher.

He did not directly question Xiao Tangtang. As a qualified parent, blaming his child at the first sign of trouble would be an irresponsibly act.

It would only burden and distress the child and not solve the problem.

"Let’s wait until all the parents arrive before discussing it," the teacher said to Gu Chen.

If each parent had to be briefed individually as they arrived, who knows how many times the story would need to be repeated.

About twenty minutes later.

All the parents had arrived.

There were six children in total, including Xiao Tangtang.

Four little girls and two little boys.

Together with Gu Chen, seven parents all gathered there.

The teacher then began to discuss today’s events.

It turned out to be a simple conflict.

A little girl in the class had a dispute with a boy, and after feeling wronged, she went to find her "big sister."

Then the "big sister," along with a group of little friends, confronted that boy, who also called his own buddies.

What followed was a scuffle of little fists.

And the central character of this story, the "big sister," was none other than Xiao Tangtang.

Gu Chen looked at Xiao Tangtang, not knowing quite what to say to her.

Should he praise her for being brave and stepping in or scold her for being too impulsive?

"Xiao Tangtang’s parent, you really must instill in your child the correct values.

A child of her tender age should not learn bad influences from society.

She is at the age of forming memories; a tree not straightened when young will be difficult to correct once it’s grown tall," the teacher earnestly advised Gu Chen.

Gu Chen knew that the teacher was right.

"I’ll make sure to educate her properly when we get home," Gu Chen said.

The other parents received similar admonishments from the teacher.

Fortunately, no blood was shed, or else the situation could have escalated seriously.

"By the way, Xiao Tangtang’s parent, during class, Xiao Tangtang told the other kids that if they don’t behave, their braids will turn into garlic."

Although we can understand the well-intentioned white lie you might tell a child to teach them a lesson,

it’s still necessary to consider giving a more appropriate explanation to the child."

The teacher emphasized this point again at this time.

Gu Chen looked down at Xiao Tangtang after hearing this.

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

At that moment, Xiao Tangtang was holding her hair as if she hadn’t realized she had done anything wrong at all.

"I’m sorry, teacher."

After apologizing to the teacher, Gu Chen left the kindergarten with Xiao Tangtang.

It wasn’t a big deal, so the parents didn’t make any unnecessary fuss about it.

In this day and age, people were not yet influenced by the notion that a small bump could cost one a fortune.

Therefore, everyone tended to make a big issue small and let small issues go.

Once outside and back in the car,

the clever Xiao Tangtang immediately noticed the toy in Gu Chen’s car.

"Did Daddy buy this toy for Xiao Tangtang?" she asked Gu Chen with a pitiful look.

Gu Chen looked at her and said solemnly, "Toys are for children who behave, but you didn’t behave today, did you?"

Xiao Tangtang felt very wronged upon hearing this.

"Daddy, Xiao Tangtang was behaved. You said we shouldn’t abandon our friends, right?" she said with a pleading expression.

It was another child who first threatened her good friend, and she merely wanted to help.

Anyone unaware of the situation would think she was the one being bullied.

In fact, according to what the teacher said, Xiao Tangtang had always been the one bullying others.

"Xiao Tangtang, Daddy wants to tell you that it’s okay to be a big friend to the other children, but a big friend should not bully the little ones, understand? We should convince others with reason."

He spoke to her with great seriousness.

Education should start from a young age, and he didn’t want Xiao Tangtang to be associated with school violence in the future.

Seeing Gu Chen’s serious demeanor, Xiao Tangtang knew he was very sincere.

"I understand, Daddy. Xiao Tangtang will never do it again," she said.

At that moment, Gu Chen gave her all the toys.

"Behave well, we must be a good child," he said to her.

Xiao Tangtang was very happy after receiving the toys.

But after a while, she immediately looked at Gu Chen with a frightened expression.

"Daddy, can we not tell Mommy about this, please?" she implored.

After hearing this, Gu Chen gave her a look.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Tangtang to be so cunning as to know how to lie to him now.

"No, we must be honest people, right?"

Xiao Tangtang looked very pitiful upon hearing this.

"Then Daddy has to protect Xiao Tangtang when the time comes."

This was something Gu Chen could still assure.

When Ji Pianran came home in the evening, Xiao Tangtang started being exceptionally attentive.

She helped Ji Pianran take off her coat, poured her water, and so on.

She acted almost like a little housemaid.

Ji Pianran, who had been hesitant all day at the company because of an advertising issue,

felt much better after coming home to Xiao Tangtang’s obedient behavior.

But after dinner, when everyone was sitting on the couch,

Xiao Tangtang proactively brought some water for Ji Pianran to wash her feet and even offered to wash them, creating a very warm moment.

Ji Pianran was startled by this benevolence.

"What’s going on? Did the kindergarten give her any homework?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen curiously.

Gu Chen watched Xiao Tangtang’s smart and adorable actions, feeling both charmed and helpless.
