Shen Xiaoxiao was unlucky from birth. After 100 times more effort than others, she finally lived the life she wanted. Unexpectedly, due to carelessness, she was smashed to death by someone.
A...
Shen Xiaoxiao blushed, but she still reached out her hands to accept the gift and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!"
Shen Xiaochuan, standing to the side, witnessed the entire scene.
Seeing how much the Dai family valued his younger sister, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Just then, Old Master Dai's gaze fell on Shen Xiaochuan.
He looked the young man up and down. He saw that Shen Xiaochuan was tall, handsome, and had a heroic air about him. There was also a faint smile on his lips.
Grandpa Dai couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, praising, "Young man, you look so spirited!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaochuan quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Grandpa Dai, and said, "Grandpa Dai, Grandma Dai, Uncle and Aunt Dai, hello!"
"I am Shen Xiaoxiao's older brother. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive." With that, he handed over the gift he had prepared.
Upon seeing this, Liang Xinxing quickly stepped forward, smiling gently as she accepted the gift, saying, "Don't bring anything next time. It's too polite for family to just drop by."
Shen Xiaochuan nodded repeatedly and replied, "Okay, Auntie, I understand."
However, he knew very well that this was just a formality, and he would do the same thing next time. After all, it's never wrong to be polite.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully took the items out of the handbag, then handed them to Grandpa and Grandma Dai with a smile, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma Dai, these are health-preserving pills and longevity pills that I specially prepared for you. I made them myself."
As she spoke, she handed the two bottles of pills to the two elderly people.
Grandpa Dai took the health-preserving pill, gently opened the bottle cap, and a faint medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out, lingering around everyone's noses.
The old man took a deep breath and felt that the fragrance was refreshing and invigorating.
"What excellent medicine!" Old Master Dai exclaimed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Then, Shen Xiaoxiao turned to Dai Zhan and his wife and said apologetically, "Uncle and Aunt, this is a health-preserving pill for you. However, I'm sorry, because the medicinal materials needed for the Longevity Pill are so difficult to find, I only managed to refine two pills."
The Dai Zhan couple smiled and expressed their understanding, accepting the health-preserving pills.
Shen Xiaoxiao then took out a bottle of beauty pills and handed it to Liang Xinxing, saying, "Auntie, these beauty pills are ones I developed myself. They have a very good skin care effect. If you find them effective, I can make some more for you."
Liang Xinxing happily accepted the beauty pills and thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you, Xiaoxiao. Your skin is so good, did you use the beauty pills?"
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "I have indeed been using it."
Liang Xinxing's eyes lit up, and she touched Chen Xiaoxiao's face with her hand. "So smooth, so tender! I'll definitely ask you for more after I'm done using it."
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.
Just then, Grandpa Dai poured out a longevity pill, and its rich aroma attracted everyone's attention instantly, like a magnet.
The aroma invigorated everyone, as if all their fatigue had been swept away.
Before anyone could react, Old Master Dai put the pill into his mouth without hesitation.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth. In that instant, Old Master Dai felt a clear stream flow down his throat, and wherever it passed, it was as if every cell in his body was activated, full of vitality.
His body seemed to be infused with a powerful force, and his previously hunched back straightened without him even realizing it. He became energetic and looked several years younger.
"Dad! How could you do this? You..." Dai Zhan hurriedly tried to say something, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man Dai waving his hand.
"Stop nagging, this medicine works really well!" Old Master Dai said cheerfully, his laughter echoing in the air, sounding exceptionally hearty.
At this moment, Liang Xinxing suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, look at your hair!" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the old man's hair. They saw that his originally gray hair had turned half black in the blink of an eye, and even the wrinkles on his face had diminished considerably.
Upon seeing this, Grandpa Dai burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, I feel like I've become more than ten years younger!"
Grandma Dai was overjoyed to see this, but she immediately realized that the medicine was so miraculous that it must be very precious. So she quickly said, "Girl, this medicine is so powerful, how can you give it to us? Keep it for yourself."
As she spoke, she quickly handed the medicine bottle back to Shen Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and said, "Grandma, although the ingredients for this medicine are indeed hard to find, it's not impossible to find them."
“I can make more later, please take this medicine first.” After saying that, she ignored Grandma Dai’s refusals, opened the bottle cap, poured out the pill, and gently put it into Grandma Dai’s mouth.
A miracle happened in that instant. The deep wrinkles on Grandma Dai's face faded considerably in the blink of an eye, and her skin became smooth and delicate, as if time had flowed backward on her.
If the old lady we just saw was around sixty years old, she now looks to be no more than fifty.
"Girl, you absolutely mustn't say you made this medicine! Otherwise, you might get into big trouble, and this old man might not be able to protect you!" Old Master Dai suddenly said with a serious expression.
His tone was unusually solemn, which startled everyone present.
Shen Xiaoxiao, in particular, had no idea that the old man would give her such serious instructions.
Immediately afterward, Old Master Dai turned to the others and instructed them, "And you lot, listen up! Absolutely no word of what happened here today must be revealed!"
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Grandpa Dai and felt a warm current surge in her heart.
She knew that Grandpa Dai was genuinely concerned for her, worried that she might encounter misfortune because of this medicine.
Shen Xiaoxiao quickly nodded and replied, "Grandpa Dai, don't worry, I understand what you mean. This medicine is too miraculous. I won't make it casually, and I won't let anyone else know that I have this medicine."
Seeing how sensible Shen Xiaoxiao was, Grandpa Dai nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in Old Master Dai's hand.
The porcelain bottle was crystal clear and decorated with exquisite patterns, clearly a valuable antique.
