In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Jiang Ranran put on a show of concern for her sister, "Sister, at worst, I'll just give you all the wages. Let's not do such immoral things again! If Dad finds out, he'll be so heartbroken!"

"Snapped!"

Before Jiang Mianmian could finish speaking, the words had barely left her lips.

Lin Xianghe rushed forward and slapped her hard across the face. "I've put up with you for so long! I'm only a few years older than you, and you call me 'auntie,' have no sense at all! You dare to accuse me of extortion? Do you think you can change the truth just by talking? I almost lost my life!"

"Ah~"

Jiang Ranran was knocked back several steps and had to grab the table to avoid falling.

Manager Wu helped her up, then glared angrily at Lin Xianghe, "How could you hit someone?"

"So what if I hit her? If she doesn't pay me back today, I'll kill her to make her pay with her life!"

After slapping her, Lin Xianghe didn't feel relieved; instead, she felt even more stifled, and the words in her heart blurted out.

Everyone: "..."

I wanted to say, "You're still alive, aren't you?" But no one dared to speak up.

I was genuinely frightened by her appearance.

Jiang Ranran glanced at Jiang Mianmian, and seeing that she was silent, she felt uneasy, but still forced herself to say, "Sister-in-law, are you angry because I exposed your thoughts? My sister has lived in Lingxiao Tower since she was a child. She returned home in the past six months, and I have never seen her study medicine, yet she was able to save both Old Madam Ye and you in succession, and the effects were so quick!"

Seeing the strange looks on everyone's faces, she spoke even faster, "The only explanation is that you'd do anything for money, poisoning them first and then using an antidote! Otherwise, how do you explain your sudden symptoms? You're not allergic to fish or shrimp, so she must have poisoned you! Or perhaps it's that the two of you teamed up to put on a show and swindle a sum of money from our Ruyi Tower!"

"You bullshit!"

Lin Xianghe was shocked.

"Snapped!"

Manager Wu slammed his hand on the table. "Miss Jiang, I even promised to get you a superior room as a thank you. How could you do this?"

"Jiang Ranran, you really know how to make up stories just to bite me."

Jiang Mianmian chuckled, took out a bottle of Eight Treasures Powder from her sleeve, and handed it to Manager Wu. "Manager, take a look. Do you recognize this?"

"What is this?"

Shopkeeper Wu opened the bottle. "This smell is somewhat familiar."

"Sister! That's enough! Father will be heartbroken if he finds out what you've done today!"

Jiang Ranran's heart was in her throat, and she was practically threatening him: If you dare to reveal anything about the Eight Treasures Powder, I'll have Dad teach you a lesson!

"If you don't want to end up like Boss Jiang, you'd better behave yourself."

Jiang Mianmian looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Bo had his jaw dislocated and was kicked to the ground that day, and he had to rest for several days! Jiang Ranran felt pain all over her body whenever she thought about it.

She shut her mouth in anger. She never expected that this brat wouldn't even be afraid of her father anymore!

In the past, this bitch was most afraid of her father!

"Ever since Jiang Ranran came to work as your cook, you should have noticed that her dishes are all quite delicious, but they all taste pretty much the same, right?"

Jiang Mianmian didn't give her a chance to speak. Seeing that Manager Wu nodded, she continued, "This is the Eight Treasures Powder I made when I was in the Jiang family. You wanted me to be the cook, so she stole my Eight Treasures Powder to fill my vacancy."

"I thought her cooking was passable, but it turns out that's how it is?"

Manager Wu was very surprised, because Jiang Ranran had said that her sister had voluntarily given up the position to her!

"That's because she used my Eight Treasures Powder, but she didn't know the recipe and therefore didn't know the contraindications. This stuff should never be used with seafood, otherwise it can easily cause an allergic reaction."

Jiang Mianmian pointed at Lin Xianghe, "Just like Sister Xianghe."

"No, no!"

Jiang Ranran's face was ashen, but there was no way to turn things around.

She simply couldn't understand how that silly girl from before had become so bold, cold-blooded, and sharp-tongued!

I originally intended to threaten her to cover for me, thus gaining the upper hand and allowing me to take advantage of the situation! This would solidify my reputation for harming people for money; this so-called 'Dr. Jiang' is nothing but a fraud!

But this brat actually... dared to resist?!

Jiang Mianmian looked at her as if she were a clown.

"You still have the nerve to say no?"

"Were you the one who stole my Eight Treasures Powder?"

"Was it you who kicked me out of the Jiang family for a job?"

"Are you the one who made food haphazardly and almost killed someone?"

"I……"

Jiang Ranran swayed precariously, her body retreating backward repeatedly.

However, Jiang Mianmian showed no sign of stopping, but continued forward, taking a step closer with each sentence she spoke:

"You're the one who made a mistake but refused to admit it, instead changing the subject and slandering your sister for practicing medicine illegally. Are you the one who did it?"

"Is it you who, after being exposed, still tries to extort money by making false accusations against the victim?"

"Waaah, sister, please stop! Are you trying to kill me?"

Jiang Ranran burst into tears and knelt down with a thud. "I was wrong, okay? I'll die, okay?"

After saying that, he rammed his body into the pillar.

"No!" Manager Wu shouted, but he was too far away from her!

He felt terrible. Why did Ruyi Restaurant have to die today since it was not auspicious for business?

The others were also terrified, their faces turning pale. "No!"

Jiang Mianmian snorted coldly and kicked her in the hip.

"Well!"

Jiang Ranran let out a muffled groan as she was kicked to the ground.

She timidly looked up and met a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

Jiang Mianmian smiled, her toes slowly moving across her hip. "Isn't it you who only cries and threatens to kill yourself when things go wrong?"

"..." Jiang Ranran didn't dare to say a word, feeling as if she were being stared at by an evil spirit, her whole body chilled to the bone!

The next instant, a sharp pain shot through my ankle!

"what!"

A devilish whisper echoed in her ear, "Jiang Ranran, remember this: your life belongs to me. I didn't kill you, so you'd better live obediently, just barely clinging to life."

"pain……"

Jiang Ranran only managed to utter one word before she fainted from the pain.

Jiang Mianmian withdrew her foot and smiled apologetically at everyone, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh at my way of disciplining my good-for-nothing sister."

The rain was pouring down outside.

Ruyi Tower has long been silent.

A middle-aged man, burping, said, "Well, it's getting dark, I need to go home for dinner."

The person next to him chuckled, "The rain is too heavy, I have to go take an umbrella to my wife."

After a few people started, the rest of the group scattered.

Shopkeeper Wu: "?? Check, check please!"

They said Ruyilou wasn't suitable for business today! I'm so angry!

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I'll compensate you with my sister. Let her work here honestly; that will reduce the losses."

Anyone can be generous with other people's money, right?

Jiang Mianmian then pointed at Lin Xianghe, "Sister Xianghe's allergic reaction today was ultimately due to Ranran. Please, Manager Wu, take out Jiang Ranran's wages to compensate her. If it's less than twenty taels, Manager Wu will still have to make up the difference, after all, the manager is somewhat bad at judging people."

"Row."

Manager Wu gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Ranran with a sinister gaze.

It's only twenty taels; we can make it up to her later!
