The Gu(Sun) family’s banquet was exceptionally lavish.
Many precious ingredients were things Lord Orrin himself rarely indulged in, and Charlie wade had barely even encountered them before.
Lin Wanqiu looked at him with the affection of a mother-in-law sizing up her son-in-law, liking him more with every glance. During the meal, she kept urging him to eat, even nudging Stephanie beside her to pile food onto Charlie wade’s plate.
Charlie wade had been on edge, dreading that Stephanie’s parents might bring up marriage or kids at the table.
To his surprise, though, the couple steered clear of those topics, letting Charlie wade relax considerably.
But while they didn’t mention it, the relief in Charlie wade’s heart didn’t last long before it turned into deep guilt.
The less pressure they put on him face-to-face, the more he felt their understanding and care.
Charlie wade was someone who repaid kindness, and he saw their restraint as a form of grace toward him.
So, after lunch, as everyone lingered at the table chatting, Charlie wade pulled out two Rejuvenation Pills and handed them to Lord Orrin and Lin Wanqiu, saying respectfully, “Uncle Orrin, Aunt Angie, these two Rejuvenation Pills are a small token of my appreciation for you both.”
The couple hadn’t expected Charlie wade to suddenly offer them Rejuvenation Pills.
They knew from auctions that a single pill fetched billions of dollars, and two of them were worth more than ten times the entire Gu(Sun) family’s fortune.
Lord Orrin hurriedly waved it off, “Charlie, this absolutely won’t do! These Rejuvenation Pills are priceless, a major source of your income. How could we accept such a precious gift?”
Lin Wanqiu chimed in, “Exactly, Charlie! Your Uncle Orrin and I are in great health, no illnesses or aches. Giving us these pills would be a total waste!”
Charlie wade smiled, “Uncle Orrin, Aunt Angie, the Rejuvenation Pill isn’t just called that because it heals and saves lives. It has another key effect, restoring youth.”
He paused slightly, then continued, “Your health is excellent right now, so the pills won’t cure anything, but they can rewind your physical condition by ten to twenty years.”
He glanced at Stephanie, then back at Lin Wanqiu, grinning, “Aunt Angie, once you take it, you and Nannan will look more like sisters.”
Those words struck a chord deep in Lin Wanqiu’s heart, igniting a longing she couldn’t hide.
No woman didn’t love beauty or crave youth, especially not one past her prime.
Women like Lin Wanqiu, at her age, poured vast sums and time into fighting aging.
Whether it was keeping their figures, preventing dull skin, reducing wrinkles, or even staving off sagging, it all boiled down to battling time.
