Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Must Get to Know More Uncles

She hadn’t expected to actually cause trouble for others.

A long line had already formed in front of the sauerkraut fish window. Almost ninety percent of the diners who had bought sauerkraut fish yesterday became repeat customers today, all lining up and waiting to buy the dish. Chen Momo was busy without a moment’s rest, but with Xu Xiaoka acting as her assistant today, things progressed much faster. Xu Xiaoka was responsible for cleaning the fish, so Chen Momo only needed to focus on cooking.

A piping hot serving of sauerkraut fish came out of the pot, its rich aroma instantly filling the air. The diner at the very front of the line stared intently at the dish, unable to tear his eyes away. He hadn’t tried it yet, but just from the smell alone, he already knew it was going to be absolutely delicious!

As soon as the dish was ready, the diner eagerly carried it over to his table. His wife and child were waiting there, and the family happily dug in. Next came the second customer, then the third... Chen Momo worked methodically, her movements growing smoother by the minute. Her teamwork with Xu Xiaoka also became increasingly seamless.

Jiang Yunhai was waiting in line further back. There seemed to be even more people queuing today than yesterday, but the speed at which the sauerkraut fish was being served was also faster. He observed Chen Momo and noticed that she was wearing a delicate pair of small stud earrings today. Although they were just ordinary earrings, they accentuated her makeup-free face, making it look even more radiant.

Jiang Yunhai suddenly remembered he had a pair of diamond earrings—a pair he had originally planned to give to his ex-girlfriend... or was it his ex-ex-girlfriend... or his ex-ex-ex-girlfriend? He couldn’t remember. Anyway, he had fallen for someone else after buying the earrings, so they had never been given away.

He suddenly felt that if those diamond earrings were worn on Chen Momo’s ears, they would definitely look fantastic. They would suit her far better than any of his ex-girlfriends, ex-ex-girlfriends, or ex-ex-ex-girlfriends, because Chen Momo had a very cool and aloof aura. Yes, they would suit her perfectly. Jiang Yunhai was already imagining what Chen Momo would look like wearing those diamond earrings; it would definitely look much better than the decorative pair she was currently wearing.

"Your sauerkraut fish is ready. Five hundred base credits, please swipe your card." Chen Momo handed the dish to Jiang Yunhai while expressionlessly pointing at the card reader to the side. Every window was equipped with one.

Jiang Yunhai instantly snapped back to reality. He took the sauerkraut fish from Chen Momo’s hands and deliberately put on a handsome expression. However, Chen Momo clearly hadn’t noticed that he had changed his hairstyle and clothes today; she was already busy attending to the next customer.

Jiang Yunhai was speechless.

He was unwilling to give up. He had spent an hour dressing up today, but Chen Momo’s gaze had only lingered on his face for a single second. He ruffled his hair. "Uh, well..."

Before he could finish, the customer queuing behind him impatiently urged, "It’s my turn! You’ve already got your food, so what are you dawdling for?"

Jiang Yunhai felt a surge of annoyance, but when he turned around to look at the man who had rushed him, he found himself facing a massive guy who looked to be nearly three hundred pounds and stood 1.9 meters tall. Terrified, Jiang Yunhai forcefully stamped out his rising anger and scurried back to his table with his sauerkraut fish.

The few people at his table were already roaring with laughter.

"Looks like she doesn’t fall for the handsome guy routine," Ouyang Feng teased.

Song Chuhuan continued to sip his coffee slowly. "I told you before. She’s a career-driven woman; she wouldn’t like a slick, superficial, and immature guy like you."

Jiang Yunhai was speechless again.

Seeing that Jiang Yunhai’s disruptive plan had failed, Yi Ronghao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry up and eat, it’ll get cold soon," he urged everyone, successfully shifting the topic from Chen Momo to the dishes in front of them.

Meanwhile, Yang Shunsheng had also brought Huang Yuqing to the cafeteria to eat. Their son was asleep, so they had left him at home. Today, the couple was dining together.

As soon as they entered, Yang Shunsheng pulled Huang Yuqing toward a corner table. Huang Yuqing knew exactly what Yang Shunsheng was doing. Making her sit in the corner was clearly his way of preventing Chen Momo from seeing the two of them!

She wasn’t going to have it!

Huang Yuqing shook off Yang Shunsheng’s hand and said coldly, "I’m not sitting in the corner! I want to sit over there!"

Out of spite, Huang Yuqing pointed at a table directly opposite Chen Momo. That table was only two meters away from Chen Momo’s window; Chen Momo would be able to see them just by looking up. She insisted on sitting there; she wanted to disgust Chen Momo!

Yang Shunsheng frowned. "What difference does it make where we sit? Huang Yuqing, stop being unreasonable."

Huang Yuqing stubbornly retorted, "I like the seats over there, so what? Are you still hung up on your ex-wife, so you’re afraid to sit there?"

"Momo and I are already divorced," Yang Shunsheng frowned again. "Stop letting your imagination run wild."

"Since you no longer have your ex-wife in your heart, then what are you afraid of?" Huang Yuqing demanded. "Come sit with me at the table opposite her!"

Yang Shunsheng felt more and more that Huang Yuqing was being unreasonable. The gentle, considerate, and understanding Huang Yuqing from before was gone; the current Huang Yuqing was acting like an unreasonable shrew.

Many diners around them were already watching them argue. Yang Shunsheng was a man who cared deeply about his pride. Being surrounded and watched like monkeys by the crowd in public made him feel extremely humiliated.

"I’m not eating. Eat by yourself." Yang Shunsheng coldly dropped those words and stormed off.

Huang Yuqing froze for a moment before calling out his name and chasing after him.

Chen Momo and Xu Xiaoka were busy attending to customers and completely missed this scene. However, Chen Xiaobao, who just happened to poke his head out of the breakroom, witnessed the entire thing.

Although Chen Xiaobao was small, he was very smart. When Yang Shunsheng and Huang Yuqing were arguing just now, Yang Shunsheng had looked in Chen Momo’s direction several times. Without even thinking about it, it was obvious that Chen Momo was still a thorn in Yang Shunsheng’s heart.

Chen Xiaobao tilted his head and carefully looked at Chen Momo. He thought to himself, "My mommy is young, beautiful, gentle, and kind... That bad dad doesn’t deserve my mommy! I must find a better man for Mommy as soon as possible, and not give that bad dad any chance to pester her!"

But who should he choose?

Chen Xiaobao tilted his head in thought. Currently, it seemed like he only knew one man: Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu was certainly very nice, and Uncle Gu liked him, and he liked Uncle Gu too. But... Mommy didn’t seem to like Uncle Gu very much.

He should probably get to know a few more men. There were plenty of men out there, after all.

Chen Xiaobao decided to first include Uncle Gu in his key observation list, and then further expand his social circle. He had to get to know more uncles. Only then could he find the most suitable person for Mommy!
