Chapter 131 - Pretending
However, as Mother Feng incessantly boasted about her son, Soong Wanzhong abruptly cut her off with a cold shout.
“Enough!”
Startled by Soong Wanzhong's outburst, Mother Feng was taken aback, feeling wronged and on the verge of defending herself.
She caught Soong Wanzhong's icy stare, and then his gaze shifted to Feng Jianguo with a hint of revulsion.
He was well aware of the mother and son's motives; he simply couldn't be bothered to address them.
“Making a fool of yourself, feigning ignorance!”
Soong Wanzhong gestured to the small porcelain bottle in his hand as he continued.
“This is a medicine bottle crafted from the finest jadeite, carved by a Grandmaster!
The value of the medicine alone exceeds a million, and that's just the bottle!”
With that, Soong Wanzhong fell silent, his implication clear.
Given the bottle's value, one could only imagine the worth of the medicine it contained!
Mother Feng and Feng Jianguo were dumbfounded by Soong Wanzhong's revelation.
They gazed at the porcelain bottle in his hand with utter disbelief.
“How can this be possible!”
“Just a small porcelain bottle, how could it be!”
“Indeed, Brother-in-law, you must be mistaken!”
……
At that moment, the Feng mother and son were like the walking dazed, their eyes vacant as they murmured to themselves.
He Mu felt a twinge of pity, yet Soong Wanzhong, observing the pair with a furrowed brow, spoke up once more.
“Ah Hai, this mother and son duo seem exhausted. Please escort them back.”
“As the old master commands!”
Promptly, Uncle Hai and his men prepared to show the Feng duo out.
Jolted awake, the mother and son began to protest loudly, but to Jiang Hao's surprise, they fell silent instantly after Uncle Hai gently tapped them.
Jiang Hao watched Uncle Hai with curiosity.
“Was that an acupressure technique? Does martial arts truly exist in this world?”
Jiang Hao felt no remorse for having nonchalantly disciplined the Feng mother and son, the buffoons of the moment.
Lost in thought, Jiang Hao was suddenly pulled back by the sound of Soong Wanzhong's voice, tinged with regret.
“My apologies for giving you a laugh, nephew!”
“We gratefully accept this medicine. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything, nephew, don't hesitate to seek me out!”
With those words, Soong Wanzhong lifted his wine glass and declared,
“To my esteemed nephew!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao quickly raised his glass in response.
“No worries at all, Uncle. Please, don't give it another thought!”
……
After some time, Jiang Hao took his leave from Soong Wan and her family.
Whether He Yuexin would take the calming pill was unknown to Jiang Hao.
But he was aware that a prominent family like the Soongs wouldn't easily take his word for it!
Even if they did, they would surely conduct their own tests before consumption!
Having departed from the Soong residence, Jiang Hao made his way to the Flower and Bird Market, where he purchased several flower pots, planning to plant the remaining mutated vegetable seeds.
Arriving home with the pots in hand, Jiang Hao found his father, mother, and sister Jiang Zixuan engrossed in something at the living room table, completely oblivious to his return.
Curiosity piqued, Jiang Hao crept closer for a better look.
“Holy smokes, it's grown this much?”
His exclamation jolted his family into awareness!
Mrs. Jiang, startled, quickly recovered and rolled her eyes before delivering a firm slap to Jiang Hao.
“You little rascal, you nearly scared your mother half to death!”
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao's gaze was fixed on the cabbage growing in the pot on the table, his eyes wide with amazement.
