Qing Yan knew that combining those two medicines would not cause immediate diarrhea, but after about half an hour, it would definitely make you question your life choices!
The effects of those two medicines were extremely potent, even taking anti-diarrheal medication wouldn't stop the onslaught.
Zhang Ma would suffer tonight.
Qing Yan lifted her gaze and looked at Li Yusha, who hurriedly lowered her head. In her panic, she even knocked over the bird's nest dessert.
"Are you alright, Sasa?" Song Qiaoying voiced her concern.
A servant stepped forward to clean up the spilled soup in front of Li Yusha...
Li Yusha absentmindedly replied, "I'm fine..."
"Yan Yan, you are so filial, still worrying about the servants at home," Li Yuanfu praised her, "but you should also eat more for yourself, don't just care about others and forget about yourself."
"Okay." Qing Yan scooped another bowl for herself and leisurely enjoyed her meal, while Li Yusha sat restlessly and found an excuse to slip away.
Meanwhile, in another place...
As Gao Yang returned home, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa with gloomy faces, waiting for him.
Gao's father initially wanted to get angry, but when he saw his son covered in injuries, his clothes dirty and disheveled, he couldn't help but be astonished, "Son, what happened to you? Who beat you up like this?"
Their usually tidy son had messy hair, a stained white shirt, with wine and blood stains...
There were also numerous cuts on his arms...
"It's nothing." Gao Yang just wanted to go to his room and take a shower, washing away his disheveled appearance.
"Hold on!" Gao's mother reprimanded, looking up and down at his injuries, she asked angrily, "Did you go out with Lu Muyao tonight? What did you buy for her? Why did you spend so much money? And why did you end up looking like this?"
The several million he had recharged earlier were his own private savings, but the club required an additional 4.7 million, so he had to use the emergency funds his parents had given him.
Shortly after he made the payment, his parents received a message notification.
"Spending so much money even before getting married, and ending up like this? Look at yourself now, you don't have an ounce of the demeanor of a privileged young master! For those who don't know, they would think you're a ruffian, a street thug!"
Gao's mother said with frustration, "If you had taken a liking to Qing Yan, I could somewhat understand her cold and proud temperament. But why did you choose Lu Muyao? What are you after? Hypocrisy? Pretentiousness? Or just a small-minded mentality?"
"Mom, I'm tired." Gao Yang didn't want to say anything at this moment, so he quickened his pace and headed upstairs.
Gao's mother was so furious that she couldn't strike back, "Look at him..."
"Alright, alright. The child is injured like this. Someone, bring some medicine for the young master," High Father remained silent for a while, then saw High Mother dialing a phone, "What do you want?"
"I want to know what happened tonight!" High Mother scolded the other person after calling Xu Aiqin and learning about the situation, "Indeed, both of our daughters are disgraceful! I can understand that Gaoyang got injured for interfering in others' business and brought it upon himself. But what's the deal with this over four million tonight?"
"What four million? I don't know what you're talking about!" Xu Aiqin was puzzled by her words, "Ah Yang was just accompanying Yaoyao to a classmate gathering..."
"A classmate gathering that cost over four million? Are you treating my son like an ATM before even getting married? And in such a large sum all at once? If others don't know, they would think you haven't taught your daughter any manners!"
"Madam Gao, please speak more politely. Are you mocking my daughter's lack of upbringing?"
"So, you still understand human language! Let me make this clear today: our Gao family doesn't welcome Lu Muyao to step foot through this door! I'll consider this over four million tonight as a breakup fee. Don't ever contact our Gaoyang again!"
"You..." Xu Aiqin couldn't finish her sentence before High Mother angrily hung up the phone.
High Father on the side became somewhat anxious, "Whom Gaoyang likes is his own business, especially considering the engagement between our families... With your actions, how can I explain this to our ancestors? How can I explain it to Lady Lu?"
"If our ancestors knew that Lu Muyao spent over four million of our money in one night, they would probably jump out of their coffins and oppose this marriage! Lady Lu can barely protect herself, why would she care about so much? Besides, she never liked Lu Muyao as her granddaughter!"
"You... but you can't just break off the engagement like this..."
"How old is Lu Muyao? Spending over four million in one night. If this continues, the riches of the Gao family will be exhausted by her!"
...
"I'm so angry!" Xu Aiqin sat on the sofa, full of anger. She called Lu Muyao over, intending to ask what exactly happened, but she learned that the expenses for tonight exceeded four million, in addition to Gaoyang's previous recharge of five million...
She was completely stunned.
So, this classmate gathering tonight cost Gaoyang almost ten million?
No wonder people had objections!
Early the next morning.
When Qing Yan was about to go to work, she saw Zhang Ma weakly coming back from outside, still holding a bag labeled "Ding Dong Quick Medicine" in her hand.
She must have bought some anti-diarrheal medication online and had someone deliver it. Her complexion looked a bit pale, she must have suffered a lot last night.
When Zhang Mama saw Qing Yan, she instinctively hid the bag behind her and deliberately created some distance, forcing a smile and saying, "Good morning, Miss Qing Yan."
She was about to leave when she heard Qing Yan's voice.
"Stop."
Zhang Mama stopped her steps with guilt in her heart. Although she bravely looked up into Qing Yan's eyes, her own eyes flickered uncertainly, and fear grew within her.
"Do you know why I didn't expose you last night?" Qing Yan's eyes were as sharp as a needle, and her temperament was extraordinary.
Zhang Mama pretended not to understand, "Miss Qing Yan, I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Did no one tell you that things you take out can also be sent for analysis?" Qing Yan had a graceful demeanor, with lively eyes. She looked at her and said, "Hemp seeds and croton cream, it's incredible that you came up with this."
"Miss Qing Yan, it was a moment of confusion on my part..." Zhang Mama didn't expect that she even knew the ingredients inside. She was so scared that she bent over and bowed, "Please give me another chance..."
Qing Yan looked her up and down with a charming aura. She casually said, "If it weren't for the fact that you've worked hard for this family for eighteen years, I would have exposed you long ago."
Before Zhang Mama could reply, Qing Yan added indifferently, "Whether you were momentarily confused or planned it for a long time, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve next, I'll give you four words: Take care of yourself."
Zhang Mama watched the girl's departing figure, her hair dancing in the wind, exuding a chilling atmosphere.
For some reason, it made people feel afraid...
Not far away, Li Yusha saw Qing Yan leave and hurriedly approached, "Zhang Mama, what did she say?"
"It's nothing..." Zhang Mama recalled Qing Yan's warning and suddenly realized that something was wrong with her stomach. She quickly covered it and said, "Miss Yusha, please excuse me, I need to go to the restroom for a moment."
"Eh, Zhang Mama..." Li Yusha saw her eager to leave quickly and instantly harbored even more resentment towards Qing Yan!
