1023 The Chu Family
“It’s indeed good tea, but this tea is very expensive. If you want to drink it, you can ask Xi when she comes later,” Han Cang said with a smile, holding the teacup in his hand.
Mu Tianzheng knew that Han Cang was saying this because he wanted Qin Xi to get to know the big leaders like the mayor and the governor. In the future, no matter what happened, she would have a backer, right?
The mayor had tasted the Immortal Tea and was very curious about Qin Xi, who was known as the Divine Doctor and was said to be better than Gao Huiren.
Of course, he was also a discerning person. When he saw that Mu Tianzheng was getting younger and younger, he knew that this little divine doctor was not simple.
Even leaders like him were no exception when it came to pursuit for youth. When he was young, he worked too hard, causing him to feel tired all the time at his age. If he could get to know this young divine doctor, he might be able to improve his health.
This was also the reason why he came.
The governor’s thoughts were the same as his. As he aged, he got sick more often. Some time ago, a doctor checked him and found that he had early-stage liver cancer. It was taboo for people with liver cancer to work day and night, but his position did not allow him to slack off.
When he found out that Mu Tianzheng’s granddaughter was a divine doctor, he came with the intention of giving it a try. Now that he saw that Mu Tianzheng was much younger than before, he immediately believed him.
Not long after, the banquet began. This time, the person who went on stage to give a speech was Chu Yi.
During this period of time, with Qin Xi taking care of him, Chu Yi returned to his previous high-spirited self. He was even more charming than when he was young.
However, when the Chu family below the stage saw Chu Yi, their eyes almost popped out. Chu Yi’s brother, Chu Heng, a middle-aged man whose figure was seriously out of shape said in disbelief, “He, didn’t he immigrate and swear that he would never come back? How can he…”
Chu Yi’s sister, Chu Xiao, stared at Chu Yi on the stage with a dark expression. Her eyes were filled with hatred and fear, and the wine glass in her hand almost shattered from her grip.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Chu Xiao’s daughter-in-law, Li Dan, looked at her strangely and felt a trace of doubt. She asked, “Mom, who’s that on the stage? I heard him introduce himself as… Chu Yi. Isn’t Chu Yi…”
“No, he’s no one.” Chu Xiao immediately interrupted her. Her face was as dark as ink, and she looked like she wanted to eat people up.
Just as Li Dan was feeling puzzled, a rich lady walked over leisurely and teased with a smile, “Yo, Chu Xiao, your second brother is back. Why don’t you look happy at all? Back then, your second brother trusted you so much and handed the company to you to manage. However, not only did you give the empire he built up to a scumbag, but you even served him together with his lover. You are really mind-blowing. Don’t you know this society is monogamous now?”
Li Dan’s face immediately stiffened as she looked at Chu Xiao in disbelief.
This person who had always been mocking her for being an unpresentable woman actually had such a shameless history. Today, she was really impressed.
In order to hear more information, Li Dan immediately stood up. She raised her chin and said to the rich lady, “Mrs. Shao, you might have some misunderstanding about my mother-in-law. I know my mother-in-law the best. She’s a perfect woman. She values family the most. How can she do such a thing?”
