Chapter 176: Chapter 176

"Country bumpkin! Remember this, the processed medicine from our legitimate pharmacy is not the same as your rural drugs!" Lin Yueru declared.

"So this is what processed medicine from a legitimate pharmacy is? These defective products?" An Yan’s voice was filled with doubt.

Unaware that she was being live-streamed, Lin Yueru exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Where are they defective? Traditional Chinese medicine always looks after it’s been sliced and ground. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand! You should really reflect on why the medicine from the city is different from your rural medicine! Think about whether your pharmaceutical methods are outdated! Good heavens, I’m really going crazy! To think I’d run into a country bumpkin I have to teach such basic common sense to!"

Some of An Yan’s fans were newcomers who, still confused, heard Lin Yueru’s voice:

[Huh, is this staff member possessed by Brother Lipstick or something? Her tone and voice sound so familiar!]

[I think she sounds familiar too. Don’t you think she sounds just like that fraudster from the previous livestreams?]

[That’s her. The host said at the beginning that although she tried to commit fraud last time, the host didn’t fall for it, so it was just attempted fraud, and she was just lectured a bit.]

Seeing Lin Yueru still stuffing handful after handful into the bag, An Yan stopped her once again. "I don’t want these from the outside; I want what’s inside the cabinet!"

Lin Yueru rolled her eyes at her and said, "The stuff inside the cabinet is the same! Everything we sell here is !"

An Yan asked in surprise, "You mean, all the medicinal herbs sold in your store are ? Even the ones in the cabinet?"

"Yes, all of them! These medicinal herbs total 80,000 yuan. Are you buying them or not?"

"This stuff is worth 80,000?" An Yan was shocked.

"Yes, it’s worth 80,000. An Yan, you couldn’t possibly be out of money, could you?" Lin Yueru raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Makes sense. You, a little village girl just back in the city, even if your family dotes on you, at most you’d get a few hundred yuan in pocket money a day, right?"

Seeing An Yan purse her lips and stay silent, Lin Yueru grew even happier. "Did I guess right? How much do you get a day? One hundred? Two hundred? Haha, An Yan, An Yan, our medicine isn’t something you can buy with just a few hundred or a few thousand yuan! What were you thinking, coming to such a fine pharmacy just to invite humiliation?"

Lin Yueru desperately wanted to regain her former sense of superiority! So, even though she knew An Yan was the An Family’s Young Miss, she couldn’t resist imagining her as a poor little village girl!

Before An Yan could say anything, Mu Enyu, who was next to her and fuming, smacked her bank card onto the table with a SLAP! "Ring it up!"

But the next second, An Yan picked up her card and slid it back into Mu Enyu’s pocket. "We already know they’re defective goods. Why would you still pay? We’re not going to be taken for suckers, okay?"

Mu Enyu’s face flushed. She murmured an affirmation, and the anger on her face vanished instantly. She obediently let An Yan lead her out of the store by the hand.

Because An Yan had used the ’golden three minutes’ to draw in viewers, the number of live viewers in the stream had already surpassed 500,000.

An Yan’s fans were infuriated by Lin Yueru’s attitude:

[She’s been lectured before, so how can she still be ? Look at her, with her nose in the air, mocking the host for only having a few hundred yuan in daily pocket money. Anyone who didn’t know better would think *she* was some rich young lady!]

[Someone who’d scam for even 5,000 yuan, calling herself a young lady?]

[I just want to know how well-off the host’s family is. How can she get several hundred yuan in pocket money a day? I don’t even make that much in a month!]

[I think I know who the host is!]

[Don’t leave us hanging! If you know, just spit it out.]

[That scammer just called the host by her name: An Yan. Do you guys remember the variety show livestream a few days ago? In *Escape from Desperate Island*, there was also a non-celebrity contestant named An Yan!]

[The same person? It’s the same person! It must be! That girl knew medicine and even saved our Film Emperor Mo with acupuncture! The host is here buying herbs at a pharmacy, so she must know medicine too.]

[The host is an emotional advice streamer, and the girl on the show was also always quick to voice her opinions, especially those calling out scumbags and despicable women!]

The fans felt as if they had uncovered some incredible truth!

They were getting excited among themselves. Meanwhile, the regular customers of this pharmacy, who had been drawn into the livestream by the system based on the current broadcast’s location, couldn’t remain calm after seeing the herbs Lin Yueru was grabbing:

[No way! How can the herbs in this shop be of such poor quality?]

[My grandmother has always used their herbs, and they’re not at all!] Latest content publıshed on N()velFire.net

[Could it be that the herbs they dispense to take home are good, but the ones in the shop are...]

It was no wonder this netizen was suspicious. The main reason was that the current traditional Chinese medicine market differed from how it used to be. After the herbs were selected, customers could request the pharmacy to process them into a medicinal decoction, which would then be refrigerated and taken as needed!

Initially, everyone came because of this pharmacy’s reputation, thinking that such a well-known, century-old brand would definitely operate with integrity.

However, after seeing the herbs Lin Yueru grabbed for An Yan, and hearing her shamelessly claim that all the herbs in their shop were of this quality, the customers completely lost it:

[I saw the clerk pick out the herbs with my own eyes, but I wasn’t watching when they prepared the decoction. They couldn’t have swapped them, could they?]

[I order online, and I receive the decoction directly!]

[I study Traditional Chinese Medicine. The herbs in this video are clearly defective products, just scraps and leftovers! As for medicinal efficacy, they might have a tiny bit, but not much!]

[Herbs of such poor quality, on the open market, would cost a few hundred yuan at most, right? And they’re selling them for 80,000? The nerve of them!!]

[Such a big pharmacy, passing off inferior goods as quality ones—this is just robbery, isn’t it?]

[They could have just robbed you blind, but instead, they even gave you some discarded scraps. You should count your blessings, LOL!]

Some righteous netizens didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately picked up their phones to report this to the relevant authorities!

The evidence was all tangible!

Screenshots from the video explained everything!

When An Yan’s fans saw she was about to walk out of the shop, they erupted in the comments:

[Host, is that it for today? Are you just going to let this slide?]

[I can’t believe it! That woman is clearly despicable. Teacher, aren’t you going to say a few words?]

[Host, are you only brave enough to confront these scumbags online? When you’re face-to-face with them in reality, do you chicken out?]

[What’s that person above saying? Is our Host the type to be afraid of trouble? Still, I don’t want to see the Host confronting people in real life! Protecting yourself is always the most important thing.]

Lin Yueru, who was at the scene, was unaware of these online reactions. As she watched An Yan and Mu Enyu walk towards the door, a surge of pride at having bested An Yan welled up inside her. So what if she’s the An Family’s Young Miss? When she faced me, didn’t she scurry away like a frightened mouse?

Triumphant, Lin Yueru’s eyes darted around, and she had another idea. "Stop right there!"

An Yan turned around. "Is there something else?"
