My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 271 This Gift is a Bit Scary!
"Matron, this is a Longevity Pill I bought from the Qifei Group," Yang Qi said with a smile. "It's a limited-edition Elixir. Take this, and I guarantee it will prolong your life." π§π³π¦β―ππ¦π·π―ππ£π¦π.πΈπ°π
"A Longevity Pill!" someone exclaimed in surprise. "I heard the Qifei Group only released a hundred of those! Each one costs at least a hundred thousand!"
Clearly, there were knowledgeable people present.
"Pah! What Longevity Pill!" Mao Fang said disdainfully. "I bet that's just some ordinary pill from a cheap pharmacy that won't kill you! As if he could afford a real Longevity Pill!"
Zhang Chao also chimed in with a laugh. "Yang Qi, we know you went bankrupt, but you don't have to stoop this low. Grabbing some random pill and claiming it's a Longevity Pill? Do you think the Matron is that easy to fool? That she can't tell the difference? We're not blind!"
"Let me have a look," a man said as he stepped out from the crowd. "The Longevity Pill is produced by my company, and I'm an appraiser. Let me see if it's real or fake!"
"Here!" Mao Fang didn't believe for a second that it was genuine, so she snatched the box and rudely tossed it to the man.
He carefully examined the anti-counterfeiting mark and the serial number, then sniffed its aroma. His expression suddenly changed. "It's real! This is the genuine article! Moreover, this one could be considered a Medicine King. Among the one hundred pills released, this is definitely the best. It's worth a million!"
"A million! You... Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Mao Fang was dumbfounded.
It wasn't just her; everyone present was stunned. A Longevity Pill worth one million?
Could Yang Qi have staged a comeback? How was that possible? They had all heard about his bankruptcy just a few months ago. Even for a comeback, this was far too fast.
"This... this isn't right. It's far too valuable!" the matron said, startled. A hundred thousand was frightening enough, but an item worth a million? Yang Qi might have the courage to give it, but she didn't have the courage to accept it.
"Matron, if it weren't for you, none of us would have grown up healthy. If not for your strict guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. Please, don't refuse. You must accept it. I want to see you live a long and healthy life," Yang Qi said with a smile.
"Alright, alright then!" The matron took the box with trembling hands and carefully put it away.
"My, my. Some people spend a few hundred on an outfit and brag it cost over a thousand, showing off everywhere. And here's Yang Qi, giving a gift worth a million!" Zhang Xiaohua said, casting a sarcastic glance at Mao Fang.
Mao Fang was utterly embarrassed, her face flushing red.
"Hmph. I didn't expect you to have saved some money," Zhang Chao scoffed coldly. "But you spent it all on Medicine Pills. How will you live? A person should be more down-to-earth and less vain. Stop putting on a front just to look rich!"
Yang Qi ignored him and brought out a second gift. "This gift is on behalf of Xiaoduo. She was shy and always liked to cling to you, Matron. You treated her like your own daughter. Now that she has passed away, she can no longer visit you, so I'm giving you this gift on her behalf."
"Keys?" someone murmured as the crowd stared, puzzled, at the object that slid out of the paper bag.
"Those don't look like car keys," Mao Fang sneered. "Haha, Yang Qi, oh Yang Qi. The gift from you is so expensive; the one you give for Xiaoduo should at least be worth two or three thousand, right? A set of keys? What are these for? Opening a door?"
Yang Qi still paid no attention to the nosy woman. He looked at the matron and said, "These are the keys to a house in Heavenly Lake Garden."
"What? Heavenly Lake Garden!" someone gasped.
"Is it really Heavenly Lake Garden?" another exclaimed. The crowd was stunned.
"What's Heavenly Lake Garden?" Mao Fang frowned. "Why is everyone overreacting?"
"Mao Fang, you don't know? Heavenly Lake Garden is the most luxurious residential area in all of Kang City! All the houses there are standalone villas. It's the most exclusive place in the city. A single house costs at least three hundred million! And it's not something just anyone can buy. You need connections, influence, and money to even have a chance!"
"That's right! I heard all the security guards at Heavenly Lake Garden are trained martial artists! Their monthly salary is fifty thousand!" another person added.
Mao Fang and Zhang Chao were so stunned they nearly choked.
"Matron, this house is for you," Yang Qi said with a smile. "You're getting older, and the environment here isn't the best. Move to Heavenly Lake Garden. The whole family can move there. I'll also hire a few maids for you so you can enjoy a peaceful life."
"I can't take this! I really can't!" the matron exclaimed, aghast. A luxury villa worth three hundred million. How could she possibly deserve such a thing?
"This is a gift from Xiaoduo. If you don't accept it, there's nothing I can do," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.
"Sigh, you child. I know you're filial, but there's no need to be so extravagant," the matron said, feeling both deeply moved and terrified.
"It's not extravagant. I have some money now, so you don't need to worry," Yang Qi smiled. "Since I've given my gifts, this cash offering might seem a bit small. I hope you don't mind!" With that, he took out the cash gift.
"How much is it?" Mao Fang craned her neck to see.
"Ten million," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Matron, moving in will certainly have its expenses. Please use this ten million for now. If you need more later, just let me know. Of course, you could also use this money to start a business. I can help you get started, and as long as you work hard, I'm sure you'll succeed."
Mao Fang nearly fainted. Regret! So much regret! Why did I have to antagonize Yang Qi? If I'd maintained a good relationship with him, I could have asked him for help in the future. Now it's just awkward. I've completely offended him.
The others were also stunned. Who gives a cash gift of ten million? Zhang Chao was so shocked that he dropped his sunflower seeds, breaking into a fit of coughing that almost choked him to death. Ten million! The most anyone else had given was a mere ten thousand. The disparity was simply too vast.
"Hehe, since everyone is here, let's begin the banquet," Zhang Chao said, hastily changing the subject to escape the suffocating awkwardness.
"Yes, let the banquet begin! Xiaohua, Yang Qi, you two sit with me!" the matron said with a wide smile.
People have hearts, after all. After Yang Qi had given such valuable gifts, it was only natural for him to sit at her table. Zhang Xiaohua's gift hadn't been cheap either, and more importantly, she was Xiaoduo's sister.
"We'll sit at this table as well!" Mao Fang and Zhang Chao, always feeling like they were leaders, immediately moved to sit at the most honored table.
No one fought them for the seats. Aside from Yang Qi, no one there was more successful than them, so everyone else just turned a blind eye.
After the feast began, but before the matron could say anything, Zhang Chao stood up and raised his glass. "Allow me to say a few words! Ahem!"
Mao Fang smiled. "My husband, Zhang Chao, is a leader, so he's used to giving speeches. Let's hear what he has to say!" Since they had already offended Yang Qi, there was no turning back. Fortunately, she still had a husband who was an official. In the eyes of the people of Dragon Country, power was far more formidable than wealth. The couple's pompous, official airs, however, left everyone speechless.
