Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Health Water Turns into Poisonous Water

Jiang Miao Miao shook her head, "I don't dare to eat it."

Jiang Zhi had just cleaned up Tao Yirou's feces. Who would dare to eat her cooking?

However, this statement was interpreted differently by the viewers in the chat.

[What is Jiang Miao Miao pretending to be? Is she a green tea girl?]

[Green tea girls always act like they're being bullied. She dares not eat it? Who cares if she eats it or not!]

Soon, Jiang Zhi prepared several home-cooked dishes and stewed a pot of chicken soup.

But in Jiang Miao Miao's group, neither she nor Mrs. Fu knew how to cook.

Previously, she was abused by her foster mother in the countryside. The best she could eat was boiled cabbage with a steamed bun. No one taught her how to cook, and she had never seen others do it either.

After returning to the Jiang family, her parents were too worried about her to let her cook. Naturally, she didn't know how to make any dishes.

To make matters worse, neither Liu Mingyue nor Zhou Huai looked like they knew how to cook.

There was no choice but for Jiang Miao Miao to take out a packet of hot pot base and throw all the vegetables into the pot to boil.

The viewers in the chat were quite disdainful.

[Tsk tsk, what a sharp contrast!]

[How could there be such a perfect woman as Zhi Zhi? Beautiful, elegant, and kind. The Jiang family was so lucky to have such a perfect daughter.]

[The Jiang family cutting ties with this real heiress just to keep Zhi Zhi is obviously not a good family. This is what they call a blessing not entering a house that doesn't deserve it.]

[Why do the viewers have such strong hostility towards Jiang Miao Miao? So what if she can't cook?]

[Maybe they are all like Jiang Zhi, people who like to take over others' positions and enjoy the benefits.]

[What about your mom? The person upstairs is probably just like Jiang Miao Miao, a good-for-nothing.]

The chat was in an uproar, but the guests couldn't see the chat and had already placed all the prepared dishes on the table.

Tao Yirou, in an attempt to make up for her previous mistake in the live stream, took out that bottle of health water and poured some into the chicken soup that Jiang Zhi had just stewed.

Jiang Zhi, in a cooperative manner, feigned surprise, "Aunt, do you eat like this at home too?"

"Yes, a little bit in the soup makes it nutritious and healthy."

The two of them played along, but the atmosphere was still awkward.

[Is this an advertisement?]

[This advertisement is so awkward.]

Jiang Miao Miao stared at the pot of chicken soup, lost in thought.

Tao Yirou's opportunistic advertisement suggested that the profit of this new product from the Gu family was indeed very high.

"Wow, it's so delicious! Zhi Zhi, your cooking skills are really amazing!"

The chicken soup emitted a mouthwatering aroma, and everyone gathered around.

Jiang Zhi smiled and immediately took out several small bowls to serve some soup for them to taste.

At the end, she didn't forget to advertise the Gu family's new product, "Aunt, you added health water to the soup. I feel it tastes even more delicious."

Tao Yirou nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes. And this can also nourish the blood and beautify the complexion. Look at me, I don't even need blush and my complexion is still rosy."

Both Tao Yirou and Mrs. Wang's groups drank the chicken soup that Jiang Zhi had stewed.

However, Mrs. Fu and Liu Mingyue's groups all politely declined.

As a result, they were ridiculed by the viewers in the chat.

[What are Liu Mingyue and Mrs. Fu pretending to be? Zhi Zhi kindly invited them to taste it, but they refused.]

[There's a saying, 'A wild boar can't eat fine rice.' ]

[Are they waiting to eat that pot of food that even pigs wouldn't eat?]

[Hehe, just wait. When that pot of food makes them sick, they'll regret it.]

"Wow, it's so good!" Wang Yufei finished a bowl of chicken soup in one go and couldn't help but praise it.

Mrs. Wang also gave her thumbs up repeatedly, "Zhi Zhi is so kind. If I had a son, I would definitely let him marry you as my daughter-in-law."

"Aunt Wang, please don't joke with me," Jiang Zhi blushed and smiled shyly. "Hey, Ruo, what was the name of that bottle you poured? It seems to be really effective. Your complexion looks even rosier than before."

Just then, Jiang Miaomiao saw the next scene in her mind.

[Everyone was startled by Lady Wang's words and only then noticed that the people who had just drunk the soup had become even more flushed.]

[System, change "flushed" to "swollen".]

Madam Fu was taken aback and looked down in confusion.

How could she hear Miaomiao speaking?

Who was the system?

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Wang Yufei let out a loud scream.

"Yufei, what did I tell you? Behave yourself outside. Why are you screaming for no reason?"

Wang Yufei's eyes widened in disbelief, filled with terror: "Mom! Your face—"

"What's wrong with my face?"

Lady Wang was puzzled and took out a small mirror from her bag to check.

"Ah! My face!"

"My face has become like this!" Tao Yirou also screamed beside her.

Even Jiang Zhi let out a scream and then covered her face, running into the bathroom to cry softly.

The others at the scene were also shocked.

They saw that the four girls, Tao Yirou, Wang Yufei, Jiang Zhi, and the others, whose faces were originally fair and tender, were now red and swollen, almost like pig heads.

"Quick! Quick! Call a doctor over!"

The comments were also in a state of confusion.

[What's going on? Why are everyone's faces swollen?]

[No, Jiang Miaomiao's face didn't swell.]

Everyone felt something was wrong.

[I know! It's the soup!]

[Everyone who drank the soup just now has swollen faces. Is it an allergic reaction?]

[It doesn't seem like an allergic reaction. It's unlikely that all of them are allergic to the same thing, right?]

[Then why? Jiang Zhi was live-streaming the soup-making process. All the steps and ingredients were fine. Why did their faces swell?]

[Did you forget that when the pot of soup was brought to the table, Madam Gu poured the Gu family's health water into it?]

[This is health water? Eating it made their faces swollen. Call it poison water.]

No one expected such a sudden situation to occur on the spot. The staff were in a panic.

Tao Yirou and the others were rushed to the hospital, and the hashtag #Gu Family Poison Water# quickly trended on Weibo.

The sudden scandal of Gu Family's health products drew a lot of attention.

After all, the Gu Family owned the largest pharmaceutical group in the country. If their health products had problems, who could guarantee that their medicines wouldn't have problems?

Many netizens said they wouldn't buy Gu Family's medicines for a while. No one would risk their health.

As people's trust in Gu Family's pharmaceuticals declined, the stock of Gu Family's group also dropped sharply.

Jiang Miaomiao looked at the news online and a smile slowly spread across her lips.

Just then, the system's voice rang in her mind.

[Bad news, host. People have died from taking Gu Family's medicine!]

What?

Jiang Miaomiao was puzzled: [Really? I don't remember.]

The system sighed: [In the original plot, the victim's husband took money from the Gu family and insisted that it was Jiang Family's medicine that caused the death. Don't you remember?]
