Hadley shook his head with a regretful expression, and left with the people from the Ice Lake Clan.

When the guests in the hall saw this, they couldn't help but look at the Zhou family members, and their eyes filled with complex emotions.

The Zhou family members themselves were dumbfounded at the moment. They didn't expect this at all.

"Those pills are actually so valuable? 50 million yuan for one pill, and there are six pills in the small box; that is 300 million yuan. A casual gift can cost up to 300 million yuan," Samantha remarked. "That was just Master Xu's bid. According to him, we can continue to raise the price," Holden replied.

The members of the Zhou family were all speechless at this moment.

A great gift worth 300 million yuan had just been rejected by the Zhou family. Moreover, the pills were extremely scarce. Even if one had money, one might not be able to buy it.

They thought of how excited they were when they received the medicine from Eudora and the Ice Lake Clan. In the end, it turned out that they turned down the real treasure.

The people in the Zhou family felt immense heartache.

They not only regretted not accepting the gift, but they also regretted that they failed to recognize Fade's status. As Quin's husband, he had come all the way for the birthday celebration. If only the Zhou family had treated them well. Based on the relationship between the two sides, they could've improved a lot in East Stream City, and even in East Lake District with just a word.

As a result, the Zhou family not only did not grasp this great opportunity, but also offended Fade, losing a valuable asset.

If it wasn't for Quin's nostalgia for the past, Fade would have attacked the Zhou family. They would not be any better off than the Tao family and the Han family.

The Zhou family members sighed in regret. Taegan shook his head as he stated, "In the future, the Zhou family should keep a low profile. We should never show up in public or do anything in a high profile manner."

The people of the Zhou family fell silent. They could only sigh and leave.

After Fade and Quin left the Zhou family residence, they didn't stay any longer and left East

Stream City.

While they were in the car, Quin could not help but sigh. She turned her head and looked at East Stream City, thinking that she would probably never come back again. "What's wrong? Are you sad?" Fade held his wife's hand gently.

She shook her head lightly and answered, "I can't say that I'm sad, but I'm feeling a little emotional. After all, Old Master Zhou has been my father's good friend for many years. They were very close back then. I didn't think that their relationship would turn out like this when they came to me. So..."

He comforted her, "Don't overthink it. The relationship between the elders doesn't have to continue. Some things will fade away. This may have been the best result. Besides, you didn't do anything wrong."

"I understand. I'm just emotional." She nodded as she looked at him. "Let's go home. We've been away for long enough."

He paused before nodding in agreement. "Okay!"

He and Quin did not continue the tour, and returned to Dragonville.

When the two of them walked along the bustling streets of Dragonville, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although it had been less than a year since they left, they seemed to feel that the city had changed a lot, and had become unfamiliar to them.

However, when the two returned to their own villa, a familiar feeling could not help but well up in their hearts.

The villa was very clean, and Housekeeper Wong had already prepared everything in advance.

Fade and Quin felt relaxed after taking a shower.

They didn't go anywhere else, nor did they inform their relatives and friends that they had come back. The two of them stayed at home and had a good rest for the rest of the day. The next day, Quin got busy again

Instead of cultivating, she rushed to the company to check up on how it was doing. After all, the end of the year was approaching, and she had left for a long time. In addition, Lily was in charge of the company in Capital City, thus, she needed to find out more about Dragonville's headquarters.

Fade was not like his wife, who was crazy about cultivation. When he saw that she had already started to deal with other things, he felt a little happy, thus, he went to the company with her.

As there was no prior notice, when Quin and Fade appeared in the company, it caused quite a commotion.

She gathered the higher-ups of the company in the conference room quickly for a meeting.

He was not interested in these things, so he did not attend the meeting. He wandered around the company.

While wandering around, he came to the company's treatment room.

Thinking that when he first entered the company, he was working in the treatment room, he could not help but feel slightly nostalgic as he wandered in it.

The medical room was much larger than the one in Bay City, and it had more equipment as well. Of course, there were more people working here.

When Fade walked in, a nurse asked in surprise, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

He shook his head and answered, "I'm fine. I'm just wandering around."

"Just wandering around. This..." The nurse trailed off, glaring at him. She was about to drive him away.

At this moment, someone cried out in surprise. "Brother Chen, you're back!"

Fade turned his head and saw a lively, round-faced girl standing before him. She had a round face like a squirrel, and had a ponytail at the back of her head, which allowed him to recognize her quickly. "Xenia, it's you!"

"President Chen, you still remember me!" She answered with a smile.

"Well, don't call me President Chen. Just call me Brother Chen!" He returned her smile. He saw there was a medical room director's name tag hanging on her chest. He couldn't help laughing, "Xenia, you've been promoted! Now that you're a director, you're able to control people."

"Even if I'm promoted, I'm still your subordinate, Brother Chen," she answered with a smile. Her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out, and her eyes lit up upon checking her phone. She pulled him and left. "Brother Chen, you're back just in time. Can you do me a favor?"

While in the medical room, looking at the backs of Xenia and Fade, the nurses couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Who was that person? He seemed to be very close to Miss Xu. Could he be her boyfriend?"

"I don't think so. If he was her boyfriend, she would have mentioned him a lot. However, Miss Xu said that she didn't have a boyfriend."

"What are you thinking? He's President Chen. The vice president of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, and also the husband of President Quin. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful that you don't get fired for spreading this nonsense."
