Here, Liu Yanran basically goes to Mu Ji Restaurant for dinner. She prefers fragrant rice and hot meals to hamburgers and cola.
After coming here so often, she got to know Xiao Liu'er, the waiter. Although he looked tall and strong, he was indeed not yet an adult and was only 13 years old. Mu Nianzhen picked him up by the river. He was only 7 or 8 years old at that time and was abandoned by his family who had smuggled him in.
It turned out that he was not his parents' biological son, but was bought. Later, when his adoptive parents smuggled him in, they discovered that his adoptive mother was pregnant and had their own child.
They were refugees and had limited money, so of course they didn't want to think too much about a child who was not their own, so they abandoned him as a burden. He was rescued by Mu Nianzhen who happened to be at the beach buying fresh fish.
Mu Nianzhen was not married anyway, so she raised him as her own child, named him Mu Ning, fed him and paid for his education. So Xiao Liu'er would do some work in the store within his ability after school every day and on holidays.
Life is back on track for the Mu family now. Mu Yanzhen's surgery was a success. During the procedure, Liu Yanran invited a local newspaper to attend, expressing her gratitude to the hospital and saying the 100,000 yuan had indeed been well spent. The media, sniffing the gossip, reported on the hospital's exorbitant surgery fee, forcing the hospital to publish the medical bill.
The total cost was more than 10,000 yuan, and the doctor put the blame on the nurse who notified the patient to pay the medical bills at the time, saying that she had made a mistake in writing. The hospital asked for 10,000 yuan for the operation instead of 100,000 yuan. In the end, the nurse was fired. Although the price was not cheap at the time, it was understandable for a major operation like a heart operation. In short, more than 80,000 yuan of medical expenses were refunded.
Mu Lei and his wife Yan Qingcheng run the Mu Family Garment Factory together, and Liu Yanran, who later became "Hua Mei", was entrusted to her to be in charge. She is also Chinese and followed her parents to the United States in her early years. She is also a good designer. All the clothes in the Mu Family Garment Factory were designed by her before. Her mother broke her leg at home before, and the Mu family was in a bit of a mess, so he asked her to take the children to his parents-in-law's house. After everything was settled, he went to pick up his wife and children and brought them home. He also expressed his concern for his parents-in-law. The two old people were ashamed for not being able to help him. There was no way the property had been handed over to their son, and their son was selfish and did not want to get involved in this muddy water, so he chose to protect himself. They knew that this time the two families might be separated, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they could only use the old woman's injury to prevent their daughter and grandchildren from suffering.
Mu Lei could also understand the helplessness of the two old people, so he still maintained respect and proper courtesy towards them, but he would never be so open-hearted to his brother-in-law's family again. After the revival, the Mu family was much stronger than its heyday. He looked at the styles given by Liu Yanran, and it can be said that they will have a place in the clothing industry of this beautiful country in the next few years.
Later, Liu Yanran talked a lot about design with her aunt Yan Qingcheng, told her a lot of things to pay attention to in design, and broadened her thinking. Yan Qingcheng is also a person who can listen to other people's opinions. She improved a lot in the exchanges with Liu Yanran, and the design drawings she drew are also eye-catching. Her designs are more in line with the cultural atmosphere of this era and suitable for conservatives, while Liu Yanran's designs are bold and incorporate a lot of later culture, so they are more suitable for young people. This just makes up for the areas that were not covered before. Liu Yanran made a prompt decision and asked Mu Lei to register the "Hua Cai" brand and set up the "Hua Fu Garment Store", but currently there is only one store in Piaoliangzhou, which only sells "Hua Mei" and "Hua Cai" clothing. Everyone only knew that the two hot-selling brands recently all belong to Mu Ji, which also pushed the Mu family to a new height. However, Liu Yanran had returned to China at that time, and only the increasing amount of money in the international account told her how successful the Mu family's development was.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a long time has passed. Mu Nianzhen still runs her small restaurant with all her heart. Although her life is ordinary, it is full of warmth and happiness. She hired someone to help run the restaurant so that she can have more free time to accompany Mu Ning back to the Mu family's old house.
Mu Ning's time at the Mu family mansion was always filled with laughter and joy. He was deeply loved by his family, and everyone treated him as a member of the family. This was especially true for the siblings, Mu Tingye and Mu Tingwan. They were of similar age to Mu Ning, having grown up together and had a deep bond. They could be described as childhood sweethearts.
However, not everything was smooth sailing for the Mu family. Mu Xiu's troubled marriage to the actor brought considerable trouble to the family. Ultimately, the old man took matters into his own hands. He ordered Mu Xiu's divorce, broke his leg, and allowed him to recuperate at home. The old man offered to support Mu Xiu for the rest of his life, but he would never allow him to harm his eldest son again.
As the eldest son, Mu Lei promised that as long as he lived, he would never let Mu Xiu suffer from hunger or cold. Initially, Mu Xiu protested by shouting and swearing in his room, refusing to eat. But as time went on, he realized his behavior was ignored, and he gradually calmed down. Today, the Mu family lives a relatively peaceful life, without many ups and downs.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was time to say goodbye. Liu Yanran had to rush back to China to attend the Canton Fair, and the staff at the Ministry of Commerce also had their own work to complete. So, they had to face the reality of separation.
Liu Yanran's luggage had been completely depleted of the cash she'd originally prepared, leaving only some clothes and souvenirs for her family. The Mu family had also given her many gifts, leaving her with significantly more belongings on her return trip than when she arrived. Fortunately, Gu Shijing helped carry her luggage, lightening her burden.
