As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned hostile towards her.
Lu Yunzhi slightly stepped aside to block Shen Qianqian and said, "Since you trust Qi Ran so much, why don't you take the drinks you bought to the relevant agency for testing?"
"If it is detected that it does contain some ingredient that can help women..."
If Qi Qi becomes pregnant and gives birth, we will apologize to Qi Ran and her family and compensate them with money; if there are no additives and the ingredients are no different from ordinary drinks, Qi Qi and her family will close their shop and pay a fine.
"But what if you've already contacted the testing agency beforehand, and we don't know? Wouldn't Mrs. Qi just have to suffer in silence?" someone in the crowd questioned.
“Alright, everyone can choose the testing agency. To ensure the fairness and accuracy of the results, each person can choose an agency to submit their sample.” The staff also thought Lu Yunzhi’s suggestion was a good idea, so they simply added to it.
Qi Ran was honestly a little scared, but seeing the encouraging looks in everyone's eyes, she changed her mind the next second—after all, it was medicine given by the system, so there should be something different about it, right?
"Okay, I agree." Qi Ran agreed confidently, not believing that the medicine the system gave her would cause any problems at this time.
Although she didn't actually put pregnancy and fertility pills in all the drinks, with so many people, surely someone would have some. If that still didn't work, she could just discreetly add some medicine to their drinks later.
Unlike Qi Ran's confidence, Lu Yuncheng tugged at Qi Ran's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Don't agree so quickly. Fifth Brother and his family are very cunning; who knows what they're up to to harm us!"
As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."
Lu Yuncheng had suffered enough at the hands of Lu Yunzhi and Shen Qianqian, so it was inevitable that he would have some thoughts about it now.
But seeing Qi Ran's resolute expression, he ultimately went along with her wishes.
After waiting for about a week, the test results for all the beverages purchased came out. To announce the news, everyone deliberately chose to do so in front of Qi Ran's shop. If Qi Ran won, the staff would leave; if Qi Qi didn't win, the staff would shut down the shop on the spot.
Qi Ran looked at the various expressions on everyone's faces. She felt surprisingly relaxed: "Alright. Don't think I don't know you're making these faces on purpose, just to give us a surprise, to give Shen Qianqian and the others a surprise, right?"
"Sister-in-law, you really have a vivid imagination!" Shen Qianqian teased Qi Ran from the side.
Qi Ran took it as Shen Qianqian venting her dissatisfaction and didn't take it to heart. She chuckled and took the report from the person closest to her: "I know you guys are jealous of me and eager to see me go down, but unfortunately, I've always done business with integrity."
She took the report but didn't even bother to look at it, simply folding it up.
Shen Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Sister-in-law, how come you have presbyopia at such a young age? Please take another look at this report carefully."
As soon as she finished speaking, laughter erupted from the crowd. Lu Yuncheng, who was standing in front of everyone, hated this feeling the most; it always felt like his dignity was being thrown on the ground and trampled on.
Lu Yuncheng snatched the report from Qi Ran's hand and began reading it word by word. By the last word, his anger had reached its breaking point. In front of everyone, he violently threw the report at Qi Ran's face and roared at her, "Didn't you guarantee to me that the drinks would be absolutely fine?!"
Qi Ran finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly picked up the report that had fallen to the ground to examine it. She nearly went crazy after seeing the final result: "Impossible! He must have conspired with Shen Qianqian and the others all along!"
She stood up and reviewed several reports, all of which came to the same conclusion—nothing was amiss!
Qi Ran felt like the sky was falling. The system she had always trusted had messed things up for her at this critical moment.
What made her feel even more suffocated was Lu Yuncheng behind her, who was already eager to sever ties with her.
"Everyone, this was all done by Qi Ran alone. It has nothing to do with me."
"No!" Lu Yuncheng hurriedly shifted the blame: "I tried to advise her before, but she's obsessed with money and wouldn't listen at all."
Qi Ran stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity for the first time.
She asked Lu Yuncheng incredulously, "Whenever you encountered trouble before, wasn't I always the one who helped you? How come you ran away faster than a rabbit this time when I'm in trouble?"
Lu Yuncheng turned his head away, his tone extremely unnatural: "Well, this time it's all your own fault. I told you before, don't do this..."
For the first time, the staff and everyone else felt that Lu Yuncheng was not a man at all. Unfortunately, no matter how much they sympathized with Qi Ran, the store that should be closed should still be closed.
"You'd better move everything out of the house except for the goods today, and prepare the fine. We'll come back tomorrow to put up the seal." The staff member gave them an ultimatum.
After watching the show, the group had no intention of leaving. They had been so badly scammed by Qi Ran; how could they let her get away with it so easily? Of course, they wanted to get back the money they had overspent!
"Qi Ran, Lu Yuncheng, pay back the money!" The shouts of the crowd attracted more onlookers, and laughter and curses filled the air... Qi Ran had never imagined that she would be so humiliated.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "If they're unwilling to pay back the money, then let's smash their shop to vent our anger!"
