Translator: 549690339
Ni Yang had known all along that after her Sour Fish Noodle Soup became popular, imitators would appear. However, she didn’t expect them to turn up so quickly.
She was watching the middle-aged woman trying to haggle.
With a smile, Ni Yang said, “I’m sorry, comrade, this is a small business, I can’t lower the price any further.”
The imitator’s Pickled Fish Noodles had just come out and it was also 5 cents cheaper per bowl. Naturally, everyone would choose the newcomer, seeking novelty and cheaper prices.
The appearance of the imitator had its pros and cons for Ni Yang.
The advantage was that the quality difference would be highlighted only in comparison.
Ni Yang was now using a secret recipe for the pickles and the chili, the imitator could never replicate the exact same taste. Ni Yang was still full of confidence in her own skills.
The disadvantage was that they had taken over most of her business this morning.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman found a place to sit down and continued, “If the queue wasn’t so long over there, I would have eaten there. Make me a bowl first!”
Ni Yang smiled and said, “Alright, please wait a moment.”
Li Gongcheng was looking at Ni Yang, thinking that this girl was getting more and more interesting. Even when her business was being taken away, she was still so calm and collected.
Wasn’t she worried at all?
Though she was just a teenager, she was doing work that many adults couldn’t handle.
Ni Yang served up the boiled noodles.
At this time, a few more customers came to eat noodles, “Little boss, three bowls of noodles, please add extra chili and cilantro, no vinegar.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.” Ni Yang replied with a smile.
Although there weren’t as many customers lined up as before, the five small tables were never left empty.
The customers kept coming and going.
After all, quality was something that couldn’t be overlooked, Ni Yang still had many loyal old customers!
Ni Yang was constantly busy in front of her stall.
She was wearing a light blue shirt on the top, and black wide-legged pants on the bottom. Although her clothes looked ‘rustic’, she was elegantly radiating a classical beauty.
Light blue is a very picky color and it won’t look good on people with slightly dark skin. Worn poorly, it could even create a reverse effect.
Usually, colors compliment people, but in Ni Yang’s case, it was the person who complimented the color. The light blue seemed to be born specifically for her, making her already fair skin even more nearly translucent.
The rising steam blurred her face, rendering her jade-like features vague and elusive, which added to her mysterious beauty, as though she were in a fairyland.
A black car was parked not far away, and the man sitting in the car had thin lips tightly pressed, silently watching the scene.
He was holding a file in his hand, and his cold face was almost expressionless.
After a while, he lightly opened his thin lips and spoke in a low voice, “How long has she been setting up a stall here?”
“It’s been over a month.” The driver Xiaozhao respectfully answered.
“Over a month?” Mo Baichuan slightly narrowed his eyes and continued asking, “Has she been setting up a stall and selling noodles for this whole month?”
The driver Xiaozhao nodded, “Yes.” After he spoke, he added, “According to my investigation, business seems to be quite good, people are lining up every morning…just don’t know what happened this morning.”
Saying this, Xiaozhao strangely scratched his head.
Listening to this, Mo Baichuan didn’t say anything. He furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes pitch black, deep as the sea.
He prided himself on being adept at reading people, but he just couldn’t figure out this Ni Yang.
According to the investigation, Ni Yang was never married. Instead, she escaped from Dam Village with her wit and arrived at Beijing.
So, did she choose Beijing because of him?
From the first time they met, to the second time, and then the third time, was it all part of her plan?
The fact that she could make herself comfortable in Beijing implied that she was certainly not an ordinary person.
Mo Baichuan’s gaze deepened.
“By the way, Master, I also found out that Master Song seems quite interested in her too,” Xiaozhao added.
“Speak.” Mo Baichuan pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting one up and holding it at the corner of his mouth, the thin lips lightly clasping the cigarette, his exhale and inhale was inexplicably sexy.
What on earth made Song Beicheng interested in her?
The little girl was young, but she was quite capable.
Mo Baichuan slowly exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.
Xiaozhao carefully chose his words, then continued, “The noodle dish that the old lady recently enjoys the most is bought from Ni Yang.”
“Is it her?” Mo Baichuan was taken aback, a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Xiaozhao nodded. “Moreover, Master Song tried everything he could to employ Ni Yang at a high salary, but he didn’t succeed. I heard from Xiaoli that he even raised the monthly salary to over 50,000! He even let Ni Yang name a price, but none of these moved her.”
This is interesting!
A monthly salary of over 50,000, what does this signify?
It signifies instant wealth!
Generally speaking, no one can resist such magnificent wealth.
Ni Yang must be selling noodles for the money!
So why would she refuse Song Beicheng? Why refuse this enormous wealth?
Unless, she has set her sights even higher.
Isn’t there a saying?
The most beautiful things often carry deadly poison.
Mo Baichuan narrowed his eyes, which were as black and deep as a phoenix’s. After a moment, he gently moved his gaze from Ni Yang and said, “Let’s go, we’ll go back.”
After all, Ni Yang is just a woman. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t move his mountain!
Moreover, Song Beicheng is not a fool. He’s experienced in the world of romance, if Ni Yang targeted him, she would only end up empty-handed, losing both her body and heart.
However, Mo Baichuan was looking forward to seeing what Ni Yang would do next.
For now, he just needs to wait and watch.
When the time is right, he will personally strip away her beautiful facade.
The car sped fast, raising a cloud of dust.

Mo Family.
Two elderly women with white hair were sitting in Mo Hudie’s room.
One was the old lady Mo.
The other one was old lady Mo’s old friend, old lady Zheng from the Zheng family.
The two elderly women looked at Mo Hudie lying in bed, their eyes filled with heartache and sadness.
Poor Mo Hudie, such a small child, suffered from illness every day, and she had already become a bag of bones.
Old lady Zheng asked in a low voice, “Aruan, you mentioned earlier that there’s a famous doctor in Jiangnan who might be able to cure Xiaodie’s illness. How’s it going? Has the doctor come to see her?”
Hearing this, old lady Mo sighed, “The famous doctor is too arrogant, refusing to treat anyone from the Mo or Yang families. I’ve already asked a friend to help, we should have news soon.”
The friend that lady Mo mentioned was Li Xianxian.
Li Xianxian also promised her that she would definitely convince the Divine Doctor from Jiangnan.
Now, all of Old lady Mo’s hope was on this rumored Divine Doctor.
Hearing this, old lady Zheng nodded.
At that moment, Mo Hudie slowly woke up on the bed.
The first thing she said after opening her eyes was, “Grandma, did Guobao come to see me these days?”
