Chapter 736: 731 Someone is bullying mom

The waiter was a slick one, spewing all the right things. How could Gu Chen not understand what he meant by those words?

Gu Chen could fully grasp that this was deliberate flattery.

At that moment, Gu Chen probably also realized why this restaurant was so popular.

He felt these service providers were definitely a major reason for the restaurant’s success.

It was their bootlicking that made everyone like their restaurant so much.

After all, who wouldn’t want the best and most comfortable service?

Gu Chen didn’t think too much about his car; it was just a casual meal out anyway.

"Please follow me, the two of you."

As the waiter cleaned up, he then led them upstairs.

On the second floor, there was only one spot with two seats available.

This spot was quite secluded compared to other areas, but it was surrounded by fresh flowers.

This made Gu Chen feel that the owner was very shrewd.

Looking at the layout of the room, this spot could definitely be considered an unused corner, without any real purpose.

But the owner had cleverly converted it into a two-person seating area and decorated the surroundings with fresh flowers, instantly turning this unused corner into an exclusive spot for couples.

Gu Chen really admired this and respected the owner’s courage and brains.

After they sat down, the waiter brought over the menu.

Gu Chen passed the menu directly to Tangtang.

Tangtang was now holding the menu in his hands.

Then he started to order non-stop.

After he finished ordering, he passed the menu back to Gu Chen.

"Dad, take a look to see if there’s anything else you want to eat," he said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head upon hearing this.

He himself wasn’t particularly interested in food and wasn’t hungry at the moment.

So, he handed the menu back to the waiter, who laughed and walked away after seeing their orders.

Not long after that, dish after dish started to be brought up.

Gu Chen didn’t know what to say when he saw all the barbecued foods because there was just too much of it.

Tangtang really did order.

Looking over the barbecue he had ordered, there was enough to feed at least six people at a glance.

Although the waiter was shrewd, he was a bit dumb today, not even greeting him.

But Gu Chen couldn’t be bothered to say anything. After all, it didn’t really matter.

What they couldn’t eat, they could take home.

After all, there was that dog at home, and all this food could go to the dog.

At that moment, Jia He, who was sitting on the couch at Gu Chen’s house, all of a sudden let out a sneeze from his big dog mouth.

He looked around and, seeing nothing but a dumb-looking pigeon, seemed quite resigned and closed his eyes, as if ready to go to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the barbecue restaurant, Gu Chen watched Tangtang eat bite after bite.

He seemed anxious while eating, as if he was really starved.

"Don’t rush, eat slowly, there’s plenty," Gu Chen now said to him.

He hadn’t expected Tangtang to eat so eagerly.

This made Gu Chen wonder if Tangtang hadn’t eaten for a long time?

Just then, Tangtang said, "Dad, will mom need to eat when she comes back tonight? Should we order some more to wait for mom to have something to eat when she comes home in the evening?"

At that moment, he asked Gu Chen this, still concerned about his own mother.

However, Gu Chen directly spoke, "No need to worry. Mom will be back after she’s had enough to eat and drink. She went to a class reunion, and there is plenty of food there, so you don’t need to worry about Mom."

Tangtang’s heart was in the right place, but it seemed no preparation was necessary after all.

And, from what Gu Chen understood, it appeared that he was not particularly fond of things like barbecue.

So, there was really no need to take any of those things over to him.

After hearing this, Tangtang did not continue to ask.

And so, they ate their little bits of food.

Tangtang, eating alone, was much slower than usual.

And as they ate, they chatted idly with Gu Chen.

After a proper stretch of time passed in this way,

suddenly Tangtang spoke up to Gu Chen, "Daddy, I need to go to the bathroom."

His sudden request to go to the bathroom took Gu Chen by surprise.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen quickly stood up, ready to take him to the restroom.

But at that moment, he promptly waved his hand.

"Daddy, I can go by myself; you don’t need to worry about me. I’m heading over now."

He said this to Gu Chen, completely rejecting Gu Chen’s offer to help.

Gu Chen, upon hearing this, had a worried expression on his face as he watched Tangtang.

He wasn’t sure if Tangtang could really manage on his own.

Although Tangtang was now attending kindergarten, she was, after all, a little girl, and he was very worried that something might happen to her.

But looking into Tangtang’s determined eyes, Gu Chen eventually let it go and let her go by herself.

He knew that Tangtang needed to be properly trained, and now that Tangtang was insisting on practicing a bit on her own, he—as a father—should give her the opportunity.

After all, there would come a day when Tangtang would no longer live under his protection and would have to enter society.

So Tangtang went to the bathroom alone, and Gu Chen watched her back with concern.

In the end, he didn’t utter any useless words.

He trusted that Tangtang could handle it, as she had already grown up a lot.

After roughly three minutes or so, Tangtang returned.

When Tangtang came back, she was very hurried, looking urgent, as if something had happened.

Gu Chen looked at her flustered state and almost wanted to laugh for a moment.

He asked Tangtang, "What happened? Are you not able to use the restroom here?"

"No, that’s not it, Daddy. I saw Mom, and a bad person was bullying her!"

Tangtang said to Gu Chen at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s previously smiling face instantly turned stern.

He looked at Tangtang to be sure she wasn’t joking with him.

"Are you sure the person you saw was Mom?"

He asked Tangtang quite seriously at that time.

"I’m positive. How could I not recognize my own mom? There was a bad person bullying Mom, and she seemed to have drunk too much," Tangtang explained to Gu Chen.

After hearing this, Gu Chen became instantly furious.

"Tangtang, you stay here and wait for Daddy. Daddy will come back to pick you up."

He said to Tangtang, and after finishing, he immediately stood up and left.

Then he headed toward the direction of the bathroom.

Tangtang watched Gu Chen’s retreating figure, her face filled with worry.
