Chapter 200: Fate of the Heavens (3rd Update)
“Mr. Xue, I’m really sorry that she…” Chen Xiaoyi began apologetically, wanting to say something.
Xue An waved his hand and said indifferently, “No need to say more, it’s fine!”
However, Huang Xiangyan couldn’t hide her disdain at Xue An’s attitude.
In her view, Xue An was simply chickening out.
The rich second-generation man who was basking in Huang Xiangyan’s flattery also chuckled smugly, “Miss Huang, there’s no need to bother with some messy people. Once the press conference is over, I’ll take you to meet some real big shots!”
Huang Xiangyan’s eyes lit up, “Really? You’re so impressive, Young Master!”
The blissful rich man grinned, “Of course! My family has a deep relationship with the Chen family. My father even worked under the old Mr. Chen back in the day. Now, when the old Mr. Chen sees me, he would still nod and greet me!”
The old Mr. Chen he referred to was naturally Chen Xiuhe.
Huang Xiangyan listened with eyes shining, becoming increasingly flattering and obsequious.
At that moment.
A group of people came onto the stage in front, each holding a tray.
However, the trays were all covered with red cloth, so it was impossible to see what was underneath.
Then Chen Rushi walked out.
Her arrival caused a slight stir in the room.
Many heirs of noble families brightened up at the sight of her.
“Miss Chen, hello!”
“Ru Shi, hello, little sister!”
There was a continuous chorus of greetings.
Even the rich second-generation man excitedly waved his hand to signal, “Miss Chen, hello!”
For them, Chen Rushi was like a goddess in their hearts.
Huang Xiangyan enviously watched Chen Rushi on stage, pondering how amazing it would be if she could reach that status one day.
However, Chen Rushi just nodded slightly to the crowd below, then stood to one side with her hands down.
At that moment, Chen Xiuhe slowly walked up.
His entry truly sparked a huge commotion.
Whether willing or not, many people stood up and shouted, “Greetings, Patriarch Chen!”
Chen Xiuhe smiled faintly, “Please take your seats, everyone.”
After everyone had sat down, Chen Xiuhe said calmly, “Today, I have invited everyone here because there is a matter I wish to announce. However…”
Chen Xiuhe paused, then continued, “However, I am not qualified to speak about this matter, so I would like to invite a gentleman to come on stage to speak!”
After speaking, Chen Xiuhe too stood aside with his hands down.
The audience was first taken aback, then they all looked on with faces full of surprise and doubt.
Who could it possibly be?
Who could command such respect from Chen Xiuhe?
At that moment, Xue An stood up.
His action caused those around him to turn their heads in his direction.
Chen Xiaoyi blinked in surprise and whispered, “Mr. Xue, what are you doing?”
Xue An smiled faintly, “It’s nothing, I just need to go to the front for a moment!”
Huang Xiangyan sneered at that moment, “How interesting. Do you know where you are? To actually move around randomly? I wonder how somebody like you got in here!”
Unable to contain his anger, Chen Xiaoyi bellowed, “Huang Xiangyan, don’t go too far!”
Chen Xiaoyi’s angry scolding perplexed Huang Xiangyan, and then she sneered, “Chen Xiaoyi, don’t think too highly of yourself. Let me tell you, this Mr. Xue is simply…”
She didn’t finish her sentence.
Because Huang Xiangyan witnessed something that left her speechless.
She saw Xue An walking to the front row, then slowly ascend the stage.
This move naturally drew the attention of everyone present.
Chen Xiaoyi also couldn’t help but freeze.
At that moment, Xue An reached the front of the stage, with Chen Xiuhe and Chen Rushi respectfully flanking him from behind.
Huang Xiangyan stood in stunned silence, murmuring softly, “My goodness! Am I seeing things?”
But at that moment, Chen Xiaoyi recovered from his shock, recalling the many miracles Xue An had created in the provincial city, and a hint of a smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.
With this man, any miracle was possible!
Xue An leaned on the table and surveyed the audience.
The room gradually fell silent.
Only then did Xue An speak indifferently, “Many people are wondering who I am!”
“Let me introduce myself, my name is Xue An!”
Xue An?
This name sparked a stir among the crowd.
And the rich second-generation who had been fawning over Huang Xiangyan trembled, looking at the stage with a look of horror.
“He… He is actually Xue An?”
Huang Xiangyan’s face turned pale as she asked in a low voice, “Is… Is this Xue An very formidable?”
“Just formidable? He has stepped on the An Family, one of Zhongdu’s top elite families, so tell me, is that not formidable?” the wealthy scion said with a quivering voice.
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, for having gotten entangled with this foolish woman.
Now he had done it.
Had he actually just mocked Xue An with his words?
Thinking this, the rich scion trembled all over.
And Huang Xiangyan, even paler, deeply regretted her words and deeds, then forced a smile at Chen Xiaoyi.
“Xiaoyi… would you… could you help me apologize to Mr. Xue later?”
Chen Xiaoyi snorted coldly and didn’t pay any attention to her.
At this time, Xue An waved his hand, and after the crowd fell quiet, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
“Many are curious about why this press conference was called!”
“It’s simple; I’m just doing one thing!”
With that, Xue An pulled off the red cloth covering the trays.
Dozens of exquisitely shaped little bottles appeared before the crowd, emitting a captivating glow under the light, dazzling everyone.
What was that?
Perfume?
Many people were puzzled in their hearts.
Xue An smiled faintly, “This… is the medicine I’m here to tell you about today, it can extend life by twenty years, ‘Tianyuan’!”
Boom!
There was an irrepressible commotion throughout the hall.
Extend life by twenty years?
What kind of concept was that?
You should know that even with today’s medical conditions, no one dares claim they can extend an old person’s life by one year.
Yet Xue An was claiming that the pale-golden liquid in these little bottles could extend life by twenty years?
Many people shook their heads, their faces full of disdain and skepticism.
Xue An quietly watched.
Only when the crowd had quieted down again did he speak, “I know many people won’t believe this, but no problem, I have someone here who can verify it!”
With that, Gao Wenyen also stepped onto the stage.
At his appearance, a series of low gasps rippled through the audience.
“It’s Divine Doctor Gao!”
“Why has he come too?”
Gao Wenyen smiled at the audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, today what I mean to say is, if you don’t believe it, look at me!”
It was then that many people noticed that today’s Gao Wenyen looked different than before.
Although the previous Gao Wenyen maintained himself extremely well, the wrinkles on his face and his world-weary appearance were still limited by age.
But now, he looked lively and spirited, like a man in his thirties.
Many people couldn’t help but be somewhat moved.
After all, Gao Wenyen had an excellent reputation in Zhongdu. He wouldn’t deceive people, would he?
Xue An spoke again, “Furthermore, this ‘Tianyuan’ is not only capable of extending life; it can also keep you forever young!”
At these words, the eyes of the women in the audience lit up.
