Aunt Chen kicked Xie Zhi away. "Be good and stay here, or you won't get any dinner tonight."

Hearing that there was no food, Xie Zhi smacked his lips and stopped clinging to Aunt Chen's leg, as if he hadn't been full from the meal.

Xie Zhi looked so pitiful. Aunt Chen shook her head helplessly and left. That was all she could do to help.

After all, she and her child were living under someone else's roof, and it was impossible for her to bring him to the Xiao family. The Xiao family taking them in was already an immense favor.

As soon as Aunt Chen left, Xie Zhi burst into tears like an abandoned child.

She even started calling him "Mom" repeatedly.

Aunt Chen quickened her pace, sighing inwardly. What was she going to do? She'd gone mad like this; she probably wouldn't even recognize her own child.

After Aunt Chen left, Xiang Qiuyun, who had been hiding in a corner, quietly left.

Xie Zhi acted this way because he discovered Xiang Qiuyun.

He knew that the woman must have been sent by Lan Yin to gather information, which was why he had gone to such lengths to feign madness.

This scene was also discovered by Zhang Yulan, who had secretly followed. She found that Aunt Chen was collecting leftover food. Originally, she went to the kitchen to get leftover food for Dahuang to eat, but she did not expect that Aunt Chen would collect it.

So she quietly followed Aunt Chen out and happened to see Xie Zhi pretending to be crazy, but she didn't see Xiang Qiuyun. She rushed home before Aunt Chen and told everyone what had happened.

"It seems Xie Zhi has really gone mad." Su Ming frowned. "This is a bit difficult. Xiao Tian and Xiao Li are Xie Zhi's own flesh and blood after all. If the two children knew that their father had become like this, they would feel sorry for him."

“Yes,” Ye Mei cursed. “That despicable man, I get angry just looking at him. Don’t be soft-hearted and bring him into our house. The children and Aunt Chen can stay with us long-term, but Xie Zhi is not an option. Don’t let a wolf into the house.”

"Mom, you two shouldn't be too protective of Aunt Chen. Tell her to cook more food and send it to Xie Zhi. Whether he's really crazy or pretending, don't let Xie Zhi starve to death. Otherwise, it won't be good if Xiao Tian and Xiao Li find out that we've stood by their biological father. Blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, he's still Xiao Tian and Xiao Li's biological father," Su Xiaonuan instructed her two mothers.

“Xiao Nuan is right. Let’s turn a blind eye and let Aunt Chen help Xie Zhi. Once we’re sure he’s really gone mad, we can contact the relevant departments to formally adopt Xiao Tian and Xiao Li. So, we need to observe him for a while longer.” Xiao Moran always followed his wife’s lead and supported whatever Xiao Nuan said.

“The adoption process is indeed a bit complicated,” Su Nuan nodded. “We’ll go through with the adoption procedures after the hospital confirms he’s really insane.”

"Shh, stop talking, Xiao Chen is back," Zhang Yulan whispered.

Suddenly, Xiao Moran changed the subject. "Mom, throw away the old quilt you brought from our hometown. It's been used for decades, it's stiff and not soft at all. From now on, use the quilts from my factory, they're soft and warm."

After saying that, he winked at Zhang Yulan.

Zhang Yulan knew that her son was saying this on purpose, trying to help Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen came in just in time to hear this. Before she could speak, Zhang Yulan called out to her, "Little Chen, go and take the two quilts I brought from my hometown out and throw them in the trash can."

Aunt Chen thought to herself that she was just trying to find a way to get Xie Zhi two quilts, and suddenly there were some ready-made. This was truly a godsend.

"Oh, right, move that recliner out and throw it away too." Xiao Moran pointed to the somewhat old recliner in the corner. "I plan to put a sofa there. It's a new product I just designed. We'll use it ourselves first, and if it works well, we'll mass-produce it."

"You're so fast!" Su Xiaonuan looked at him in surprise. She had only told him about it a few days ago, and the product was already out. That's incredibly fast.

“Your orders are law.” Xiao Moran stood at attention and at ease before reporting on the progress of his work. “I have bought the factory buildings, and the Happiness brand furniture has been successfully registered. The fabric sofa you mentioned has already produced a sample. I need to use it first before mass production. As for the furniture you described, I have drawn sketches for my own records and will gradually develop them.”

"Mo Ran, you're going to enter the furniture industry too?" Su Ming and Ye Mei looked at him with admiration, thinking to themselves that the man their daughter had found was simply a money-making machine.

“Yes, this is Xiaonuan’s suggestion, and I think it’s great,” Xiao Moran said. “After our wedding, Happiness Furniture will officially go into production. Right now, it’s still in the experimental stage. We’ll make some samples first to see how it goes. Anyway, the relevant procedures haven’t been completed yet, so there’s no rush. We’ll develop new products slowly.”

Aunt Chen wasn't concerned with other people's business right now; she was only interested in whether or not they wanted that recliner. She interjected, "Mr. Xiao, are you really not going to take that recliner?"

"No, move it out and throw it away. Make room for a sofa." Xiao Moran waved his hand generously.

"Okay, I'll go make room right now." Aunt Chen was secretly delighted.

They exchanged glances and went back to their rooms to rest, leaving the space for Aunt Chen to make her own things.

The recliner can be folded up. Aunt Chen put the folded recliner in the dump truck, which was used to carry soil in the yard before. Now it can come in handy. She also took out the two printed quilts. With these two things, Xie Zhi will not be cold at night. This is really great.

They secretly watched Aunt Chen working from upstairs. Su Ming saw that she, a woman, wasn't strong enough and was so anxious that he wanted to come down and help her, but Ye Mei stopped him. "Don't go, if you go, you'll give yourself away."

Su Ming then refrained from running downstairs to help Aunt Chen, and sighed, "That bastard Xie Zhi, I never dreamed that in the end, the one who would help him would be the housekeeper, the woman he doted on so much, who would want to kill him. Truly, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman."

"What are you saying?" Ye Mei glared at him fiercely.

"Mei, I'm sorry, I misspoke." He slapped himself in the face.

"Watch your words in the future. Not all women are bad," Ye Mei instructed him. "This afternoon, make a list of relatives and friends. Don't notify those who have already been notified again. Notify those who haven't been notified yet. Call those who can be notified by phone, and make sure to come to Xiao Nuan and Moran's wedding banquet."

"Mei, we've really made a name for ourselves this time." Su Ming finally felt triumphant. "I'm going to invite all those people who used to laugh at us to come and show them how happy our Xiao Nuan is now. I'll make sure those snobs who looked down on us never dare to insult our daughter again."

"You're always showing off," Ye Mei shook her head.

"Mo Ran put on this grand wedding just so we could show off. What are we waiting for if not to?" Su Ming said, shaking his head. "So it turns out the newspaper was reporting on Xiao Nuan's wedding. Everyone outside is talking about it, guessing which rich family's wedding it is. Hehe, I never expected it to be our Xiao Nuan's wedding."
