"Not only that, they also checked my phone and unbinded all the cards linked to it, leaving me with no money when I left home. I walked to the University of Finance and Economics, sold my phone, bought a train ticket, and went to Goose City. Goose City is over a thousand kilometers from Sea City. I planned to stay far away from them, letting their family live in harmony."
"I can vouch for that. When she was selling her phone, I was tempted, but I worried she might be a scammer, so I didn't buy it. Later, another classmate bought it for over five thousand." At that moment, a girl in work clothes stepped forward to speak. The crowd looked at Qiao Zhenguo and Guo Yuhua with disdain.
"Why did you go to Goose City? Where is Goose City?"
"It's a small town on the westernmost edge of Zhongzhou Province, right next to the Qinling Mountains. But the scenery there is beautiful and pleasant. If you're traveling to West Capital, you can check out Goose City—see swans in winter, peonies in spring, and soak in natural hot springs." Shen Yunyun casually promoted Goose City.
"The reason I went so far was to stay out of the Qiao family's way. After their biological daughter returned, she also thought I had stolen her life and privately threatened me, saying she would drive me out of the Qiao family and make it impossible for me to stay in Sea City. I didn't want to make things hard for my adoptive parents. After all, their biological daughter had been missing for so many years; it's only right for them to side with her and try to make amends. Even if they didn't give me a cent and forced me to sell my phone for a train ticket, I never resented them—nurture outweighs nature. But when I took one step back, they took ten steps forward. Their eldest son went to Goose City, beat up my boss, and insisted he fire me. And here he is—my boss."
Shen Yunyun immediately waved at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu walked over and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Tang Yu, the owner of Tangsen Pharmacy in Goose City. Everything Shen Yunyun just said is true. The Qiao family's eldest son came to Goose City, saw me with Shen Yunyun, hit me without a word, and threatened me to fire her."
Shen Yunyun nodded and added, "My boss came to the auction today, and I tagged along. Then I ran into the Qiao family here. They came to pick a fight, accusing me of spending money on plastic surgery. Look at me—do I look like I've had work done?"
"It's so natural, not fake at all. Is the plastic surgery hospital in Goose City that advanced?" A woman's eyes sparkled with interest.
Shen Yunyun: "..."
"I haven't had any surgery. I just took a Beauty Pill, which is why I'm aging in reverse. By the way, there's a Beauty Pill up for auction today. You can bid on one and try it."
The conversation veered off track like that. When Shen Yunyun remembered to keep peeling away the Qiao couple's facade, she realized they had already slipped away. She was now surrounded by people asking about the Beauty Pill.
Shen Yunyun not only recommended the Beauty Pill but also the Longevity Pill.
Wei Lingling stood behind the crowd, arms crossed, watching Shen Yunyun chatter on. She sneered inwardly, thinking, *Just wait—they'll get what's coming to them. Selling fake medicine openly—let's see how this pair of scumbags handles it.*
Suddenly, Shen Yunyun looked over at Wei Lingling.
Wei Lingling quickly adjusted her expression, but no matter how well she masked it, her face stiffened for a split second. Shen Yunyun had already sensed something off about Wei Lingling earlier, and with the pill switch incident, she was now certain that Wei Lingling had some ulterior motive for sticking with Tang Yu. Maybe she was the one who swapped the pills—otherwise, who else could have opened the safe? It couldn't be that Tang Yu, that useless lump, had teamed up with Wei Lingling to screw her over, could it?
