Qiao Lingling looked at the roast duck on the table. Life is just like that—it's all about having money to spend and good food to eat. She took the bag to the kitchen, chopped it up, and brought it back.

"When I came back just now, I saw a young girl come out of your house. Her clothes and appearance didn't seem like someone you could associate with." Guo Chenpi made no attempt to hide his desire.

"Why are you asking about her?" Qiao Lingling put her things on the table and sat down.

"She's quite good-looking, pretty, and has never been with a proper girl before. What's her background? Do you know anything about her?" Guo Chenpi touched his lips, his eyes fixed on her, wanting to devour her.

"She's not simple, she's not a girl you can get." Qiao Lingling was slightly angry. Men really are like dogs that can't change their nature, always wanting more than they have.

"Just tell me her background!" Guo Chenpi was itching to know, and he wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of it.

"Her father is a university professor, I heard he's quite famous." Qiao Lingling sneered inwardly at the man for being a toad trying to eat swan meat, without even looking in the mirror at himself.

"I see, no wonder she has that kind of aura." Guo Chenpi nodded repeatedly, his mind now completely on her. He couldn't explain why, but he just felt that this girl would be his sooner or later.

Qiao Lingling thought of the plan: "How's that matter going?"

"I didn't tell you when I came back yesterday. I found a female worker to put the medicine into the sauce. If it works, their sauce won't be able to sell for long."

"Who isn't afraid of death these days?" Guo Chenpi said smugly, feeling that his plan was flawless.

"Are you sure you put the drug in?" Qiao Lingling wondered.

"I overslept today, didn't I? I didn't meet with that woman, so I don't know what the outcome will be. Normally, the drug should have been administered by now." Guo Chenpi picked up a duck leg from the plate and started eating. "Don't just sit around, you've been working so hard for so long, eat something quickly. Then we'll have another round of fun. I don't know when I'll have time to come and keep you company after tomorrow."

An orphan girl who lost both parents, what other source of income could she have besides selling her body? She offered herself up willingly; why not take advantage of her? She wasn't a virgin anymore when she was with him. Although he acted convincingly that night, as someone with experience, what kind of woman hasn't I encountered?

Qiao Lingling was miserable. She only dared to take the scraps from the whole plate of roast duck, and dared not touch the good meat. She had been beaten several times and had become strange.

...

Zhang Xinyue didn't bring any medicine home for her family. When she returned, the house was filled with a nauseating stench that almost made her faint. Upon entering, she discovered her parents were already dying and immediately called the hospital.

I was busy until midnight when I finally woke up. My mother insisted on being discharged from the hospital as soon as she found out I was there.

The father lay in bed cursing incessantly: "What lousy beef! It almost killed me!"

"Dad, can't you just say less?" Zhang Xinyue didn't want outsiders to know what had happened.

Mr. Zhang struggled to sit up, saying, “This isn’t over. Tomorrow, we need to talk to the leaders and explain our situation to them. We got sick from the beef they gave us. Don’t they care? We’ve already spent tens of dollars on medical expenses this time. Who knows how much more we’ll have to spend in the future? We don’t ask for much, just pay the medical expenses.”
