Translator: 549690339
No woman could resist the lure of everlasting youth.
If there were any, she surely would not be a woman.
Xue An’s words caused a huge sensation.
Still, there were those who remained skeptical.
After all, it all seemed too fantastical!
At this moment, Xue An pointed down at Chen Xiaoyi, “Miss Chen, please come up here!”
Chen Xiaoyi was startled, pointed at herself, “Are you talking to me?”
Xue An nodded.
Then Chen Xiaoyi stood up, her head in a fog, and made her way to the stage.
Huang Xiangyan’s eyes burned with jealousy.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
All she could do was watch eagerly.
Once Chen Xiaoyi was on stage, Xue An gave her a smile, “Miss Chen, today I invite you to try this ‘Immortal’ Potion!”
Chen Xiaoyi, around thirty years of age, normally didn’t wear makeup and often stayed up late writing, which made her skin look extremely poor, her overall appearance somewhat aged.
Chen Xiaoyi looked on in a daze.
Not until Xue An passed her a bottle of the ‘Immortal’ Potion did she understand what was happening.
“This thing… It’s quite expensive, isn’t it?”
Xue An nodded, whispering, “About over ten million!”
Chen Xiaoyi’s hand trembled, almost dropping the bottle, then she gritted her teeth and drank the entire ‘Immortal’ Potion.
Xue An watched quietly.
This was also a gift for Chen Xiaoyi.
Moreover, this ‘Immortal’ Potion was an enhanced version, its effects would unfold much faster.
Five minutes.
Chen Xiaoyi blinked her eyes, feeling no different.
The crowd below gradually became restless.
Many people watched with a slight sneer, thinking Xue An had botched the trick.
There were even a few with medical backgrounds who stood up, ready to condemn Xue An as a fraudster.
At that moment, something miraculous happened.
The wrinkles on Chen Xiaoyi’s face began to disappear at a pace visible to the naked eye, and her skin tone started to brighten as well.
Even her body, which had begun to gather excess flesh, regained youthful vigor in a blink of an eye.
A moment later,
The Chen Xiaoyi who had looked to be in her thirties, now appeared to be back to her youthful eighteen or nineteen years old.
The audience fell into complete silence.
Everyone gaped in disbelief.
Especially the women, all wearing faces of utter astonishment.
“My God!” finally, a woman murmured softly.
Then, like lighting a fuse, the atmosphere in the room ignited instantly.
“Mr. Xue… How much for this? I want ten bottles!” a wealthy older woman shouted.
“Mr. Xue, I am very interested in this product of yours, and I would like to discuss a partnership, here’s my business card!” a representative of a pharmaceutical company, wearing glasses, said respectfully.
“Mr. Xue, may I ask if this world-class technology of yours has any side effects?” someone raised the question on everyone’s mind.
Xue An shook his head, “Although many find it astonishing, this ‘Immortal’ Potion… has no side effects!”
At that moment, numerous women crowded around, almost as if they could eat Xue An alive.
Xue An then smiled, “Today I can let everyone have a try, but it will only maintain its effectiveness for one month!”
As he spoke, Xue An took out the prepared trial versions, all diluted ‘Immortal’ Potion, its effects lasting at most a month!
The women grabbed them eagerly and then drank without hesitation.
After a while, these women who had once looked old and overweight, all became significantly younger.
This tangible effect finally broke any remaining restraint.
Some women even came to blows over the trial versions.
Meanwhile, more eyes full of ill intent focused on Xue An, as well as the backing Chen Family.
After all, it was clear to everyone that the ‘Immortal’ Potion represented an immense amount of wealth!
Who wouldn’t be envious?
Xue An watched the scene unfold, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
This… was exactly the effect he had wanted.
At the same time, Xue An noticed a resentful gaze fixed on him.
He turned his head and locked eyes with Jin Xiurong, who was sitting at a distance.
Jin Xiurong was trembling all over at this moment.
Her teeth were chattering loudly.
She was no fool and naturally guessed that this miracle must have been Xue An’s doing.
What did that mean?
It meant that Xue An held a technology in his hands that was enough to make him the richest man in the world.
Yet he had never shown it before.
Thinking of this, Jin Xiurong’s heart, full of anger and resentment, gave rise to a hint of regret.
If only she had not been so assertive back then, if only she had been nicer.
Then An Yan would not have broken away from the An Family, and this godlike technology would have belonged to the An Family!
But it was all too late.
Jin Xiurong could only watch Xue An with annoyance and bitterness.
Only when Xue An turned his head to look at her did Jin Xiurong’s heart jump in shock.
His eyes were full of indifference and aloofness.
It was as if a high and mighty emperor was scrutinizing a guilty subject!
This caused Jin Xiurong’s face to turn pale.
Many who knew the inside story were covering their mouths and sneaking giggles.
The An Family… had now become the laughingstock in the mouths of many!
“Mr. Xue, when do you plan to start selling this?” was the most frequently asked question by people.
Xue An smiled, “Production has already started, as for when it will go on sale… let’s wait until General Lin’s duel is over!”
Xue An’s words made many people’s hearts stir.
It seemed like Xue An was making a bet!
Betting that General Lin would win!
However, amid the eager or jealous gazes of the crowd, a woman of gentle and refined beauty sat in a wheelchair, looking at the distant Xue An with a puzzled and incomprehensible gaze.
What on earth are you up to? The Immortal-like man spoken of by my cousin… Xue An!
And so, the press conference ended in shock.
The follow-up impact completely turned Zhongdu upside down.
Everybody understood what this miracle meant.
So when Xue An returned to the Chen Family, he was practically buried under a mountain of phone calls and invitations.
To all this, Xue An had but four words.
Ignore them completely!
And then he took his wife and children out for fun.
Just as Xue An had guessed.
The miracle had stirred up everyone’s mentality, and countless greedy eyes were now focused on the Chen Family and on him.
At this moment.
Inside the An Family.
All the servants were silent as cicadas in the cold.
For a minor matter, Jin Xiurong had already punished four maids.
Now, still seething with residual anger, she sat in her chair.
An Chang said with a wry smile, “Mother, please calm your anger!”
“How can I calm down? That miracle was originally ours, but now it belongs to the Chen Family, how can I not be angry?” Jin Xiurong’s face was full of resentment.
An Chang shook his head, “Mother, the key now is to hope that General Lin loses! As long as he loses, Xue An will have no backing, and the Chen Family alone cannot hold onto such a hot potato!”
Jin Xiurong nodded thoughtfully, “So you mean…”
“We wait and see for now, but definitely, some people won’t be able to hold back!”
Just as An Chang had said.
Within the Chi Family.
Chi Chongshan slammed his hand on the table.
“A man must be ruthless to succeed. Since Xue An has killed my son and yet holds a precious treasure, then he should not blame us for our lack of courtesy!”
