“Dad, I think I want to poop.”
Gu Xi said awkwardly.
“Mom, me too.”
Gu Bei, who was in Su Luo’s arms, also felt the same.
Gu Zhan saw through the two children’s intentions at a glance. He squinted his eyes and said seriously, “I think the two of you are just afraid of going to the hospital, so you are using that as an excuse.”
Gu Xi shook her head. “No, Dad. I want to poop. Xixi can’t hold it in any longer!”
Gu Bei’s expression changed. “Me too.”
He had just finished speaking when he let out a stinky fart.
Su Luo quickly took the two twins to the toilet to poop.
Everyone thought that it was nothing serious. But in the end, the two children had diarrhea and kept going to the toilet.

Everyone’s face was pale, and they sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling weak.
“I’ve already informed the family doctor to come over. You guys hold on for a little longer.”
Gu Zhan had just hung up the phone and came over to report the news to them.
The few of them could not leave the toilet at all. The journey to the hospital was not close. Gu Zhan was afraid that they might lose control. So, he called the family doctor to come over.
Su Luo nodded weakly.
“Luo Luo, I keep feeling that something is not right. Logically speaking, the chef cooked the food in our kitchen. The ingredients were all fresh ingredients bought on the same day. Why would you all have diarrhea?”
Gu Zhan sat beside Su Luo and held her hand as he analyzed.
Su Luo’s voice was a little shaky. “I also feel that something is not right. Maybe the problem is not the ingredients.”
Su Luo recalled the banquet details and suddenly remembered the dish she had seasoned. When she ate it, she felt that something wasn’t right.
She immediately perked up and asked Gu Zhan, “You have only eaten a little of the stew I seasoned, right?”
Gu Zhan nodded. “I saw that you all liked that dish, so I only ate a little to taste it.”
“I suspect that the problem lies in this dish. You ate less, so your symptoms are not as serious as ours. But I’ve tasted this dish before the banquet started. If something happened, I should be the first to suffer from diarrhea. Why did I have the symptoms only after so long?”
Su Luo frowned as she analyzed what happened.
Gu Zhan pondered.
The family doctor came quickly and treated them according to the seriousness of their diarrhea. In the end, the family doctor concluded that they had food poisoning.
That answer was what Gu Zhan and Su Luo had expected.
Su Li and Lin Feng were startled. Lin Feng had personally selected the chef. She had also ordered the maids to buy the ingredients on the same day to ensure they were fresh. It was unlikely that they would suffer from food poisoning.
The family doctor had not done a thorough check in the hospital. So, he could not give a specific cause.
Fortunately, when a few of them felt discomfort, they had vomited all the food in their stomachs. They did not need to go to the hospital to undergo gastric lavage.
The family doctor prescribed the medicine and intravenous drip for each of them. He watched them finish the intravenous drip and left the house.
When Su Li and the others had recovered a little, Gu Zhan spoke out his thoughts and communicated with Su Luo. He suggested checking the dishes served during dinner.

Su Li took out his phone and was about to contact the chef.
Gu Zhan reminded her, “Ask them to check mainly on the stew.”
“Okay,” Su Li said.
Su Luo decided to do something herself. “I’ll send someone to inform the guests who came to attend the banquet to go to the hospital for a check-up.”
If there were problems with the food, then all the people who attended the banquet must be suffering the same symptoms.
For some reason, Su Luo had a bad feeling.
...
The next day, the news about the mass food poisoning in the Su family’s banquet went viral. Some were hospitalized, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Su Luo was worried about the guests’ life when she saw the news. She was also working on a compensation plan.
Before writing out the compensation plan, she saw an anonymous post that was also trending on the news. The content stated that the food poisoning was because of the dish that Su Luo had seasoned. It said that there might be an unknown substance in it.
The netizens blamed Su Luo and said she should take responsibility for it.
