Chapter 284: One Billion for Two Bottles
Mu Qing let out a sigh in a frustrated manner – even he hadn’t had the opportunity of tasting the flowing gold.
Grandpa said that the liquor had a function of prolonging the lifespan and he didn’t need to drink it at the moment because he was young. He would receive it when he got a wife, so that she could drink it when she was pregnant. The wine was good for the baby and an even better generation of Family Mu could be cultivated this way. Hence, no one else had access to the liquor.
Although he had never drunk the golden medical liquor, Mu Qing was aware of how much to consume and what side effects it would lead to.
“Master Jing, if you drank the golden color medicinal liquor, then diarrhea is a normal symptom. Grandpa has kept the wine for a very long time, so the side effects are very strong. It is quite effective in cleaning the filth from inside the body and that is what makes you suffer from diarrhea.”
“But this wine is only meant for therapy, not for any damage of the body. No drugs are needed. Don’t worry, drink as much salted water as you can and you will feel better after tonight, once the rubbish inside you are clears out.”
Jing Yichen had the phone on speaker and all of them let out a sigh of relief after hearing what Mu Qing said.
Good that it was not harmful for the body, or they would have definitely needed to visit the hospital for a stomach cleanup.
“You mustn’t drink the medical wine directly. It works for Grandpa, because he has drunk other relatively younger medical wines, and his system is already clean. You are simply wasting the precious thing by drinking it in this way. Grandpa has spent half of Family Mu’s money upon these two bottles of wine.”
Jing Yichen asked calmly, “Then how are we supposed to drink it? Anything we need to pay attention to? I am not sure how to deal with the two remaining bottles.”
When Mu Qing heard Jing Yichen say the last sentence in such a calm tone, he lost control and burst out loudly. “What? Two bottles?”
His voice was so loud that Zhao Anan who was sleeping next to him, woke up.
She mumbled unhappily, “What are you crying for so late at night? So noisy! I am tired and need a good night’s sleep…”
What Zhao Anan said, was heard by the three people next to Jing Yichen.
Leaning against Jing Yichen, Shangguan Ning shook her head between laughs. Zhao Anan was really careless a girl.
Mu Qing patted Zhao Anan’s back, got off the bed and continued with the call in the living room.
Mu Qing didn’t want to wake up Zhao Anan, but Jing Yichen had spoken as if all he had were two bottles of water. His casual att.i.tude had made Mu Qing lose control of his temper.
“Sigh, I finally understand what happened. Master Jing, Grandpa couldn’t have given the bottles to you. You must have robbed Grandpa. Even, I haven’t taken a sip of it. Master Jing, please spare one spoonful for me, just one will do, so that I can taste the gold wine that has been brewed with half of the properties of Family Mu!”
That wine was truly worth a great deal of money. Although Family Mu was far less wealthy than Family Jing, it was still a famous aristocratic family in A City. Half of Family Mu’s properties were about hundreds of millions of yuan and all of that had been spent on brewing this liquor.
Mu Qing’s heart ached so much that he lost his sleep. He would probably suffer from such ache in heart in the following days that he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.
Mu Qing was feeling sorry for himself when Jing Zhongxiu suddenly asked, “Mu Qing, I will ask Yichen to personally invest one billion more in your hospital. Tell your grandpa that I am very grateful.”
If Jing Yichen invested one billion yuan personally and not through the company, then Jingsheng Enterprise’s share at Family Mu’s Hospital won’t increase else it would have reduced Family Mu’s right of control.
This was his way of thanking Old Mu for his wine by offering money to Family Mu’s Hospital.
Mu Qing felt much better after hearing what Jing Zhongxiu said. He could tell it was Jing Zhongxiu’s voice, so he thanked him happily. “Uncle Jing, please don’t worry about it. I will definitely deliver your grat.i.tude to Grandpa. Grandpa built the hospital with his sweat and blood, and if he knows that you are being so generous, he would definitely not stay angry with you any longer. You must come and visit us sometime.”
Mu Qing was not dumb. He had already understood that Jing Zhongxiu must have robbed Grandpa of the wine and given it to Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning.
Oh G.o.d, he had never thought that even Jing Zhongxiu would need to rob an old man of something.
Sigh, Grandpa Mu had brewed such good wine and he liked showing off. Two bottles had already been taken away by Old Jing and Old Lady and he still boasted in front of Jing Zhongxiu who took away the only remaining two bottles.
Grandpa Mu must be shedding tears at home at the moment.
Jing Zhongxiu dare not visit Family Mu now, because Mu Wensheng might poison him to death.
He replied saying that he would visit them sometime before asking, “How are we supposed to drink the wine?”
He remembered that Mu Wensheng had told him to drink it directly, but not too much at one time. But Mu Qing said that it shouldn’t be drunk directly. That was what annoyed Jing Zhongxiu. That old man didn’t even bother to tell him properly about its usage because of which his son and daughter-in-law had to suffer so much.
What Jing Zhongxiu didn’t know was that when he took away the medical wine from Mu Wensheng, he had gotten madly annoyed to tell Jing Zhongxiu about the side effects. He had expected that Jing Zhongxiu would be so dehydrated that he would return the wine to him obediently.
“Uncle Jing, you must dilute the wine with royal jelly in a one to one proposition and you are not allowed to eat anything 12 hours before and 8 hours after. Only in this way will the effect be most useful. After it is fully absorbed, you won’t feel hungry at all.”
Mu Qing explained the portion and usage in details, because he knew very well that Jing Yichen was not going to return anything he had taken. What was more, Jing Zhongxiu had promised to give one billion yuan to Family Mu’s Hospital without hesitation and that amount evened out the value of these two bottles. They must be the most expensive wines in the world, each one worth 500 million yuan. Scary indeed!
“Drink in this way for seven days in a row. You can’t eat anything on the first day, but you can eat during the following six days. You may suffer from diarrhea and that is totally normal. You can drink it straight on the 8th day and can skip dinners and replace them with the wine. My grandpa has not had dinner for years. He only drinks medicinal wine instead.”
After hearing what he said, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They had a better understanding towards this glowing precious wine.
Jing Zhongxiu knew how well Old Mu was doing. But now he knew the reason for it. He had not eaten dinner but drank wine instead, for years, looking increasingly strong with rosy cheeks, and jet black hair. He didn’t look like someone who was almost 80 years old.
G.o.d, he did take the old man’s two of the most precious things. He finally understood why Jing Tianyuan liked visiting Family Mu.
It seemed that he should also visit Old Mu more often!
