Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1732

As soon as the birthday ceremony began, all the wealthy guests came forward with their luxury gifts.

Branded watches, luxury cars, antiques, jade ware, and even real estate; all the gifts being presented were extremely valuable, with the cheapest item there being worth at least 1 million yuan and above, whereas the more valuable items could be worth as much as 50-60 million yuan.

The atmosphere of the ceremony became more and more lively as everyone started presenting the gifts they had prepared.

After the other guests were done with their gift presentation, Eudora finally came out with a small bright yellow box. She walked towards Taegan with a smile and said, "Grandpa Zhou, on behalf of the Tao family, I, Eudora Tao, wish for you to be blessed with good health, longevity and happiness."

"This is the gift I have prepared for you, Grandpa Zhou. It's spiritual water that I have requested from the Ice Lake Clan."

While she was speaking, she handed the box over to Taegan.

He then opened the box, making the content of the box visible to everyone.

Within the box, there was a delicate jade bottle. The jade looked crystal clear, void of any impurities. Delicate scenery was also engraved on the bottle, indicating that this jade bottle was clearly crafted by a

master.

Regardless of what the content within it was, the value of the jade bottle alone was probably more than 10 million yuan already.

Even the other wealthy individuals from the East Stream City couldn't help but marvel at Eudora's generous gift.

She looked proud upon noticing how everyone marveled at her gift, so she continued with her presentation, "Grandpa Zhou, the contents of this jade bottle is spiritual water. Our senior elder from the Ice Lake Clan formulated this using more than ten types of precious herbs and positive energy. All in all, this spiritual water took 49 days to be refined.

"This spiritual water is extremely beneficial as it can cure diseases and promote longevity. After taking it, living for an additional 8-10 years wouldn't even be a problem."

As soon as everyone heard her presentation, everyone including Taegan was greatly impressed.

He carefully opened the jade bottle, and everyone could instantly smell a delicate fragrance which was spreading through the hall quickly.

All the guests sniffed, and looked envious and surprised at the same time.

"This smells amazing! It makes me feel like a fairy."

"As expected from the Ice Lake Clan, their formulations are indeed extraordinary."

"If it can truly prolong life by 8-10 years, that spiritual water could really be considered an elixir for immortality already. That's so amazing! I wonder if I could get a bottle of that as well." "Miss Tao is really generous by coming up with such a valuable gift."

"Old Master Zhou, you are so lucky to get such an amazing daughter-in-law on your birthday. That's truly double happiness within a day!"

In the midst of the chatter, everyone from the Zhou family smiled happily as they kept the spiritual water.

Nonetheless, Fade who remained at the corner the entire time, couldn't help but shake his head lightly as he smiled with a hint of mockery.

The so-called spiritual water that Eudora had gifted Taegan was merely a mixture of a few Black Level herbs with water.

This type of medicinal water would probably only be able to refresh one's mind, cure some minor illnesses, as well as promote general well-being.

It would be a joke to claim that it was able to promote longevity.

After all, even the Heaven Level clans, such as Tianwu Clan and Wushuang Tower, could only come up with formulations that could prolong life for 1-2 years at best, not to mention how their formulations were crafted using a variety of Heaven Level herbs and refined by several Masters.

As a result, it was a mockery for a little clan, such as the Ice Lake Clan, to claim that their formulation could prolong life by 8 -10 years.

It was merely a lie to deceive those ordinary individuals who understood nothing regarding martial arts. For someone with knowledge of martial arts, this was a total joke.

However, he didn't intend to expose her lies as it was none of his business after all.

While he attempted to mind his own business, trouble still came looking for him.

Annie had been looking in their direction so she noticed how Fade sneered. Hence, she pointed at him and shouted, "Fade, what were you laughing at? Were you laughing at Sister Eudora's gift?"

He was startled a little as he felt everyone gazing upon him. He shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant at all."

"Then what did you mean?" She remained aggressive, "I clearly saw you sneer with that disdainful expression of yours."

Fade frowned and looked displeased. At this moment, Quin spoke, "Miss Zhou, it's Old Master Zhou's 70th birthday today. No matter what the gift is, what matters most are the thoughts and well wishes for him Therefore, Fade definitely wasn't mocking any gift as you assumed."

Annie wanted to continue but Taegan merely waved his hand and said, "Quin is right. It's the thought that counts, so any gift would be amazing as long as it's being gifted whole-heartedly."

"Quin, it's been so many years since we last met. You've grown so much since then," he called for her to step forward.

"Old Master Zhou, I wish for you to lead a long life filled with good health and happiness," Quin went forward with her wishes.

On the other hand, Annie remarked, "Did you only prepare some wishes and not even a gift? No wonder you were sneering just now!"

She frowned slightly but ignored Annie's sarcasm. Instead, she took out the gift that she had prepared earlier, which were the pills that were carefully formulated by Fade. She handed the gift over, "Old Master Zhou, this is the gift that we have prepared for you."

The gift was hand-made and packaged by Fade, so naturally, it didn't look very delicate and beautiful.

As a result, Annie deliberately walked over and snatched the gift to open it directly.

Therefore, everyone saw the contents of the gift, which were about 5-6 pills that looked like chocolate beans.

Seeing this, Annie couldn't help but curl her lips as she started talking with a sarcastic tone and expression, "What an amazing gift! You clearly put a lot of thought into this. If we didn't know better, we would have thought that you simply packaged a few chocolate beans as a gift. Don't you know better to buy a complete box from the supermarket instead?"

"Annie!" Taegan yelled in a low voice and stopped Annie from continuing.

At this time, Quin also explained, "Old Master Zhou, this is our handmade body-strengthening pill. It's formulated using several types of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves to calm your mind, nourish your blood, as well as boost your health and overall well-being."

"I appreciate your thoughts a lot. Thank you very much," Taegan nodded and kept the gift.

However, the guests around them weren't amused as they started discussing in low voices.

"While they are somewhat similar, their gift pales in comparison with the spiritual water gifted by the Tao family."

"Obviously, the Tao family requested for spiritual water from the Ice Lake Clan, whereas the two of them merely prepared some clay balls."

"It's fine if their gift is subpar, and yet they still dared to sneer and mock the gifts presented by the others. Look at how humiliated they are now, haha!"

Quin and Fade ignored their remarks and merely looked knowingly at the people around as if they were fools.

Of course, in the eyes of Annie and everyone else, it looked as if they were being thick skinned instead.

Taegan was also worried about Quin's awkward situation, so he waved his hand and spoke, "I'm happy to receive all your gifts and thoughts, so let's stop wasting time and proceed with the next agenda!"
