Chapter 344: A Rejuvenating Pill
In Wu Xin's view, with his Tang Yin "Moon Spring Picture Scroll" here, Ye Chen, a mere live-in son-in-law, what could he compare with himself?!
Therefore, he felt that this time, he would definitely suppress Ye Chen firmly and become the one who surprised all the guests the most and made Master Song the happiest in this segment.
After all, in Wu Xin's view, Ye Chen was a live-in son-in-law, a useless poor loser, and it was impossible for him to bring out any decent gift.
Therefore, no matter what he gave, it couldn't be compared with the "Moon Spring Picture Scroll" he gave!
So he deliberately mocked, "Grandpa Song, I heard that Master Ye has been mixing in the Feng Shui and secret arts scam circle for many years. He must have cheated a lot of good things in such a long time. The gift he gives you must be a treasure worth hundreds of millions or even billions, right?"
Saying this, Wu Xin sneered at Ye Chen again, "The gift I gave is worth no more than three or four hundred million. I believe Master Ye's gift must be much more valuable than mine!"
Hearing this, Master Song frowned, became even more dissatisfied with Wu Xin, and his face turned cold: "No matter what Master Ye gives me, in my eyes, it is a priceless treasure!"
Wu Xin was somewhat stunned.
What kind of soul soup had Ye Chen poured into Master Song?
And at this time, Ye Chen was named by him, so he stood up with a smile on his face.
Everyone was staring at him, wanting to see what gift he would give.
However, they saw that his hands were empty, and he didn't look like he could carry any valuable gift on him.
Could it be that this Ye Chen was going to play a "karate" move on Master Song?!
Even if he just gave a piece of calligraphy or painting, its volume couldn't possibly fit in his pocket!
And Ye Chen's empty hands made the vast majority of people think that he must not have prepared a gift.
Even if he had prepared a gift, it probably wasn't worth much and definitely couldn't compare with the "Moon Spring Picture Scroll" given by Young Master Wu.
Master Song himself had his heart in his throat at this moment.
His eyes kept looking at Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen's empty hands, he was instead so excited that he trembled all over!
What he feared most was seeing Ye Chen holding a gift box, a scroll, or any other object to give to him.
Because, apart from the Rejuvenating Pill, he didn't want anything else!
The "Moon Spring Picture Scroll" was indeed good. As an antique calligraphy and painting, it could indeed cater to his preferences.
However, that was just a preference.
If a person was about to die, what was the use of putting everything he liked in front of him?
At that time, he would rather exchange all these things for even a few days of life.
Therefore, Master Song had been hoping for a long time that Ye Chen would give him a Rejuvenating Pill! It could even be said to be the greatest expectation in his life now.
At this time, Ye Chen had walked unhurriedly to Master Song.
Before he could speak, Wu Xin mocked, "Oh, Brother Ye, aren't you being too stingy? Today is Grandpa Song's eightieth birthday, and you came to attend the banquet empty-handed without giving anything?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked him back, "Who told you I'm not giving anything?"
"Then where is your gift? Take it out!"
Wu Xin said disdainfully, "Don't tell me you bought some small souvenir and just stuffed it in your pocket? Don't you see that all the birthday gifts given today are worth over ten million?"
Ye Chen looked at him, smiled contemptuously, and then took a small wooden box out of his pocket.
This small wooden box was bought by Ye Chen at a street stall for five yuan. He bought it mainly because the Rejuvenating Pill was medicine and wasn't suitable to be stuffed directly into his pocket or wrapped in toilet paper.
As soon as Wu Xin saw this small wooden box, he curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Damn, what is this? Bought at a street stall for ten yuan?"
Ye Chen laughed, "You guessed half right. It was indeed bought at a street stall, but it didn't cost ten yuan; it only cost five yuan."
Everyone was dumbfounded by Ye Chen's words!
Was Ye Chen not taking Master Song seriously at all?
Master Song was having his eightieth birthday, and he actually gave a five-yuan wooden box?
Even if there was something inside this wooden box, what valuable thing could it be?
Anything truly valuable couldn't possibly be packed in such a broken box.
Thus, many people around let out a burst of boos.
Even Song Rongyu covered his mouth and quietly let out a "cut."
Wu Xin grabbed Ye Chen's handle and said indignantly, "Ye Chen, do you have any respect for Grandpa Song in your eyes?! Giving this kind of garbage, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Ye Chen ignored him, opened the small wooden box, revealed the black and round Rejuvenating Pill inside, and said to Master Song, "Old Master Song, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you! It is a Rejuvenating Pill I obtained by chance. I hope you like it."
The reason he said he obtained it by chance was mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Seeing this, Master Song was so excited that his blood boiled!
He only felt a burst of energy rushing to the top of his head, and he stood up instantly in excitement!
As soon as Master Song stood up, his whole body trembled violently, mainly because he was too excited and didn't know what to do!
He had dreamed that Master Ye would bestow upon him an opportunity like Shi Tianqi's, but this opportunity was too precious, so he only dared to think about it in his heart.
However, he never dreamed that this dream would come true at this moment!
Master Ye had really bestowed an opportunity upon him!
When he walked toward Ye Chen trembling, all the guests were staring at him.
Those who were not familiar with Ye Chen, seeing the old man walking toward Ye Chen trembling, all thought the old man must be furious and might have never suffered such humiliation in his life, so he was coming up to give Ye Chen a slap and throw him out directly.
Wu Xin saw that there was only a black, inconspicuous pill in the box, and couldn't see anything miraculous about it at all.
So he couldn't help but mock, "Ye Chen, Grandpa Song is having his eightieth birthday, and you just give such a broken pill? Is this thing something you bought from a barefoot doctor on the street? Will ordinary people be poisoned to death by your pill?!"
Ye Chen ignored him and just explained to Master Song, "Old Song, this Rejuvenating Pill has the effect of prolonging life and improving physical fitness. After taking it, it can make people look at least ten years younger, and their lifespan will also be extended by at least ten years."
Hearing this, Wu Xin couldn't help but shake his head and mock, "Ye Chen, do you think Grandpa Song, a person with such sharp eyes, can be fooled by a charlatan like you? A piece of bullshit strength pill can make people look ten years younger? Are you making an international joke here? Are you treating all of us high-end people as fools?"
Most of the guests who didn't know Ye Chen also nodded one after another.
Ten years younger? What bullshit, who would believe it?
However, no one expected that at this moment, Master Song would tremble and come to Ye Chen, and with a "thump," he would kneel on the ground!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was instantly struck by lightning, and there was an uproar in the hall!
