Chapter 21: Feng Manlou sets up the stage, but the opponent improvises...

Old Lady Shan was a little confused. What did they mean by "there's something wrong with their medicine?" Wasn't her husband taking the medicine prescribed by their clinic?

Before she could ask, she saw her daughter-in-law explain with an embarrassed look on her face: "It's been a month, and we threw away the medicine residue a long time ago. Besides, the medicine we gave to our family is really the best medicine. How could there be a problem?"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law tacitly agreed to this matter, Old Lady Shan felt even more puzzled. Why did Guosheng and his wife never mention that the child's grandfather was taking medicine from their own store?

But now is not the time to worry about this. To be honest, the old man is taking his own medicine, so it can't be a problem with the medicine.

It’s simply because the old woman inside is not very skilled in medicine. Maybe she doesn’t know how to treat the disease at all.

When Old Lady Shan saw the girl opposite with a defiant expression of disbelief, she almost went over and slapped her.

In her entire life, she had never seen such a shameless person who dared to threaten and oppress her in front of so many people.

Old Lady Shan sighed helplessly, "Your grandmother prescribed the wrong medicine. That's a fact. The doctors at the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine can prove it. How can they confuse right and wrong? We don't have the power to force them to lie."

Shen Jiang raised his chin, his contempt obvious. "Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital? Which doctor? Not an intern, right?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't wait to say, "It was indeed said by several great experts from the city's Chinese medicine hospital. If you don't believe me, let's go and ask them in person. They are all doctors from top-tier hospitals and won't talk nonsense. We didn't lie to you, sister. Your grandma really prescribed the wrong medicine."

Shen Jiang looked impatient. "Okay, then have these experts use their official accounts to issue a statement online to apologize to my grandmother, saying that they were unskilled and didn't understand Chinese medicine or how to treat illnesses. They didn't dare to harm anyone's life, so they closed their practice and went home, never to work in this field again."

As soon as the words fell, the corridor fell silent. Aside from the internet celebrities who couldn't hide their joy, everyone else had complicated expressions, completely unable to believe what they had heard.

Shen Jiang paid no attention to the looks of those around him who were looking at him as if he were a fool. He simply stared at the two people in front of him and asked in a resounding voice, "Can you do it?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shan family looked at each other. They seemed to have not expected that this young girl, who looked gentle and easy to control, was actually a crazy person with a bad brain. She had no idea how to control the severity of her words and was simply crazy to the extreme.

It turned out her husband's kidney failure was caused by a problem with the medicine in her store. A city expert said her grandmother's prescription was incorrect, indicating the expert's medical skills were inadequate.

Look at this bitch, she's so sharp-tongued that she even looks down on the expert doctors in the city's Chinese medicine hospital. She doesn't even look at what kind of people she is. She's just running a small clinic in a remote corner and is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the experts!

Old Lady Shan's chest was heaving, and she was obviously very angry about her unreasonable and provocative words.

Several internet celebrities who were broadcasting live with their mobile phones watched the number of people in the live broadcast room increase rapidly, and the condemnatory messages flooded the screen like snowflakes. Obviously, the netizens who were watching the live show were furious at Shen Jiang's shameless request, and they wanted to rush out through the Internet cable to beat her up.

Netizens who originally thought Shen Jiang looked pleasing now found her hideous no matter how they looked at her, and simply took screenshots of her face and made them into spoof emoticons.

Shen Jiang smiled faintly, not caring about the condemning and disgusted looks from these people. Instead, he crossed his arms and said calmly, "These are the three conditions. If you are sincere, then we can discuss it. Otherwise... don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Old Lady Shan was almost furious. She had never been so frustrated before. The old, incompetent doctor had taught such a liar girl. She had never seen such a shameless family.

The little girl in the middle-aged woman's arms suddenly started crying again, choking with sobs: "Sister, please let my dad come home!"

The middle-aged woman patted her daughter's back to comfort her, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

This scene made the onlookers and netizens who were watching the fun from the sidelines feel inexplicably sad.

A tall and strong man stood out from the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Sister, please give me some face and let's talk about some negotiable conditions."

Shen Jiang looked coldly at the burly man who was a full head taller than him, and said arrogantly: "Who are you? You are embarrassed to be here with me!"

She glanced at the man's face, especially his mouth, and smiled. "Are you here to see a doctor? If you return now, I'll give you a 20% discount when you go to Mingxin Hall for treatment next time."

The man was angered by her words. He clenched his fist and threatened, "Whoever wants to go to your black-hearted clinic for treatment, I advise you to speak properly and stop bullying orphans and widows like this. Look at what you have forced this family into."

The security guards had initially seen the atmosphere tense because the women were just talking, but now that the burly man had appeared, it seemed like a fight was about to begin. The three security guards quickly grabbed the tall man and urged him not to act rashly.

Old Lady Shan didn't expect that this stubborn girl would be so stubborn.

She doesn't eat soft things, but she is not afraid of hard things.

"If anyone can help them meet the requirements I've put forward, that would be fine."

Shen Jiang's nonchalant attitude caused public outrage. Almost everyone present couldn't stand it anymore. Look at what she said. Is that a request that can be done casually? No one can do it.

Can someone come out and slap this woman?

The Internet was also very lively at this time. The angry netizens directly pushed the male anchor's live broadcast room to the top of the live broadcast list, and rewards poured in. Many people asked the anchor not to be cowardly and help the old lady.

Old Lady Shan glared at her daughter-in-law angrily and shook off her hand.

If she hadn't been so nosy, constantly reminding herself of this and that before leaving, saying that netizens these days hate to see the elderly being wronged, and that young girls these days are soft-hearted and don't blackmail them, would she really be so servile to such a nagging girl? In the end, she was actually taken advantage of!

"I'm telling you, you silly girl, if you don't let my son out, I'll come here and make trouble every day! Let's see who can outlast the other!"

Shen Jiang looked at Old Lady Shan with some regret, as if blaming her for not playing the pitiful role she had originally imagined and finding herself in dire straits so quickly.

She glanced at the time and realized it hadn't even been half an hour since she came out. She couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Can these internet celebrities who don't look very reliable really create hype?

Little did they know that it was precisely because of Mrs. Shan’s counterattack that netizens felt relieved: someone finally helped them speak out their true feelings.

They had long wanted to see this arrogant and vicious woman taught a lesson. The sight of the old lady begging for mercy just now made them sad, and now that the old lady had finally gotten angry, netizens were even more excited.

With wave after wave of popularity coming, the platform mechanism directly pushed this live broadcast room to the homepage. This was a good time to slack off in the afternoon, and more and more netizens flocked to the live broadcast room.

Don't be fooled by Shen Jiang's arrogant and domineering appearance, as if he is a tough guy who can't do anything to you. In fact, he is also nervous at this moment.

Ahhh, has the popularity finally increased? Is it okay for those internet celebrities to just watch the fun?

Shen Jiang did this purely out of helplessness: there was not enough money.

To manipulate public opinion, one must first generate buzz. But the money in her pocket was not enough, not even enough to generate buzz, let alone herself. She also had to thank the Shan family for hiring a few anchors, which saved her a lot of money.

Since netizens can speak out because they can't stand the tragic experience of the Shan family, then her obvious public embarrassment of the Shan family should be more of a topic of discussion.

This was her first time playing an arrogant, overbearing villain, and she wasn't sure if her performance would spark the netizens' wrath. Not to mention that Old Lady Shan was ruining her plans, so why didn't she play the pitiful little one?

How can she continue this play?

Shen Jiang decided to proceed directly to the next step.

She nodded at the middle-aged woman and said, "Didn't you say we were going to a Chinese medicine hospital? Let's go now. I want to ask those so-called experts in front of the public whether they were paid to give false testimony and frame my grandmother."

Without waiting for the middle-aged woman to reply, Shen Jiang shouted directly to the crowd of onlookers, "Does anyone want to go to the Chinese Medicine Hospital with me? I can take three people with me in a taxi."

She has to bring those internet celebrities with her.

...These days, there are still people who take the initiative to find audiences to watch plays.

"Me, me, me, take me with you!"

Someone actually raised their hand. One person, grinning toothily and enjoying the fun, was none other than the internet celebrity who had obtained the data password after filming Shen Jiang. This girl was his data password. As soon as she opened her mouth, netizens became extremely enthusiastic, and the number of people scolding her was simply countless.

Shen Jiang nodded, pointed to a few people, and walked out in a mighty manner.

Seeing Shen Jiang's arrogant and ignorant look, even more cunning and unreasonable than her mother-in-law, the middle-aged woman felt relieved. Everything she had planned was almost ruined.

Fortunately, the pig opponent on the opposite side helped to cover the bottom.

Seeing her daughter-in-law still in a daze, Old Lady Shan said, "Hurry up and catch up. What if that damn girl runs away halfway?"

Several security guards looked at each other as they watched the suddenly empty corridor and hall. After what had just happened, they were afraid that a fight would break out.

It just ended like this?
