Xiao Moran stopped laughing because he knew that Jiang Yi was able to fall in love with Moxi so quickly because Moxi had many of Xiao Nuan's traits. After understanding this, he not only couldn't laugh anymore, but also felt a deeper worry in his heart.

Then, Moxi talked about many scenes of her imitating Xiaonuan.

Xiao Moran didn't laugh; instead, she said sternly, "Moxi, don't be like your sister-in-law anymore. Be yourself, understand?"

"Why?" Moxi asked, puzzled. "My sister-in-law is my role model. I should learn from everything she says and does."

"Don't you understand?" Xiao Moran roared angrily. "I'm letting you be yourself again."

"Oh." Seeing that her brother was angry, Xiao Moxi didn't dare to argue anymore and responded softly.

Seeing that Moxi was silent with her head down, Xiaonuan held her hand and comforted her. "It's okay, your brother is on his period, he's in a bad mood, he'll be fine in a few days."

Upon hearing "Uncle," Moxi perked up again, excitedly saying, "Now, many students in the university town are coming to learn these new terms from me. They're now calling her 'Auntie' too, saying it's much more interesting than the way it's called in books, and they even ask me where I learned so many new terms."

Xiao Moran understood what Xiao Nuan meant by "uncle," because every time she went out to buy toilet paper during her period, she would say that she was having her period and needed to buy things to welcome it.

......

They chatted and laughed all the way back. Mo Xi showed no signs of being surviving the kidnapping ordeal because she was simple-minded and believed what Xiang Qiuyun and Wang Xiaobao said. When her mother hugged her and cried, she even said that her mother was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Mom, don't make such a fuss, okay?" Moxi said. "I was just invited by two acquaintances and they threatened me a little. It's really nothing. Stop crying and get me something to eat. I haven't eaten anything since last night."

"Moxi, wait here, I'll go get you something to eat. Wait ten minutes." Ye Mei's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down. She turned around and wiped away her tears, thinking to herself, "This girl is so naive that she would believe those two guys. If we hadn't found Moxi in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Moxi wolfed down a large bowl of egg noodles, two large chicken legs, and a bowl of chicken soup. After eating and drinking her fill, she went back to her room to catch up on sleep. She hadn't dared to sleep all night in the dilapidated house, afraid that bad people would break in if she fell asleep.

......

In the days that followed, Xiao Moran continued to work on his sauna bedding products, which quickly became a nationwide sensation.

Su Xiaonuan was busy with her beverage shop, which was called Mixue Nuanyin. The name of the shop meant that it not only sold summer drinks but also winter drinks. The birth of any new product would eliminate some old products.

The saccharin water that was once ubiquitous on the streets has faded from people's sight thanks to the sudden emergence of Mixue Warm Drinks. The store not only offers colorful original fruit juices, but also milk tea and coffee.

Mixue Warm Drinks sparked a beverage revolution, and even though the price was a bit high, people would line up to buy it.

In those days, there were no electric tools, and every juice was squeezed by hand, so a lot of workers were hired.

Xie Xiuhua has now become Su Xiaonuan's logistics manager. Xiaonuan even rented a house for Xie Xiuhua outside and paid her a salary of one hundred yuan a month, which made Xie Xiuhua, a rural woman who had no other choice, see her own value.

Su Xiaonuan trusts those she employs and doesn't employ those she doesn't trust. Since she has hired Xie Xiuhua and is willing to walk the right path, she will appoint people based on merit. Xie Xiuhua comes from the countryside and is definitely capable of doing the work, which is why Su Xiaonuan values ​​her so highly.

This high-paying job gave Xie Xiuhua confidence, and she did an excellent job, never allowing anyone to waste any resources—a truly good housekeeper.

With such a capable assistant helping her manage the business, Su Xiaonuan didn't have to put in too much effort to run Mixue Warm Drinks. In addition, with her experience in opening a store, and by hiring an assistant and clerk to help her with contract signing, she wasn't too tired being the boss.

In half a month, the flagship store of Mixue Warm Drinks was opened. In another half month, Mixue Warm Drinks branches were opened all over the streets and alleys of the provincial capital. These stores do not need to be too big. They only need a few square meters and can be opened for business after simple decoration.

That day, Su Xiaonuan was counting money at home when Ye Mei, Su Ming, and Zhang Yulan stared in astonishment at the pile of money on the coffee table.

"Money, money, you've come to me like a flowing river," Su Xiaonuan said excitedly as she counted until her hands cramped.

“Daughter, don’t just throw yourself into the money jar. You still need to consider Mu Ran. He hasn’t been home for a long time.” Su Ming sighed.

Ye Mei raised her hand and smacked her on the head. "What else do you care about besides money? Mo Ran's career is in crisis now, can't you even show some concern for her? Do you intend to spend your future with money?"

"Mom, what are you saying?" Su Xiaonuan asked in surprise. "Mo Ran's career is in crisis? Where did you hear that from?"

Ye Mei ran to turn on the TV, and as soon as it was turned on, advertisements for Sanwen Nuan bedding were everywhere. Xiao Nuan told Ye Mei to change the channel, but the same thing happened. Before, you could see advertisements for Nuan Nuan bedding, but now they were completely gone.

"See? The ads for Warmth brand mattresses are all gone, now it's all this upstart." Ye Mei sighed. "A month ago, I could still occasionally see ads for Warmth brand mattresses, but I haven't seen one in the past month. Moran hasn't been back these days, he must be trying to save the business. You, you're too selfish, only caring about making money for yourself, you don't care about Moran at all."

“Mother-in-law, please don’t blame Xiao Nuan.” Zhang Yulan sighed deeply. “It’s all our Mo Ran’s fault. He’s the one who doesn’t come back to this house. It’s not that Xiao Nuan doesn’t care about him. When he comes back, I’ll give him a good beating.”

Su Xiaonuan was watching the advertisement when she suddenly stood up and walked closer and closer until she was only a few steps away from the television. Looking at the products, she excitedly asked, "Mom, look at these products, aren't they the same as the ones we use at home?"

"It really is similar to what we use at home, Xiao Nuan, you didn't learn it from someone else, did you?"

"What do you mean I learned it from others? They learned it from us." Su Xiaonuan said. In those days, everyone used old-fashioned bed sheets that had a sense of age. Where would you find such trendy bedding?

"What are you looking at so intently?" Xiao Moran's voice rang out in the lobby.

The four of them turned to look at Xiao Moran at the same time. He was dressed in a suit and tie, with a gold watch on his wrist, shiny black leather shoes on his feet, and a briefcase in his hand. He looked every bit the big boss, and there was no sign of his business not doing well.

"Mo Ran, are you alright?" Ye Mei thought he had suffered some kind of shock to dress like this, after all, it was the first time she had ever seen Xiao Moran dressed so well.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Xiao Moran nodded, and several people carried in several boxes of clothes and placed them in the hall. After they finished putting them away, they respectfully withdrew.
