Chapter 1213: Refusal
Qiao Yanjue took the bottle from Xia Xibei and went to hand it to the old man.
“After you take it, you will be in good health!”
The pill Xia Xibei had prepared for the old man and Liu Yiqin were different.
Although both of them had several herbs in them, the effect of the pill for Liu Yiqin was to restore youth, while the one for the old man was to delay aging and strengthen the body.
The old man was in his seventies this year. Although he still looked fit and st.u.r.dy, he was still old.
Liu Yiqin was only in her fifties, and with the care she usually took, she looked quite young.
So, Xia Xibei prepared a different formula for each of them.
“Fourth brother!” Qiao Weiming rushed out, and as soon as did, he tried to knock the bottle away. “Are you crazy?!”
However, Qiao Yanjue moved quickly and drew back his hand, avoiding his attack.
Thus, the bottle was still intact and unaffected.
Qiao Weiming was frustrated that he didn’t knock the bottle away, but he still pointed at Qiao Yanjue with an angry face, “We’re still here! Even if you want to do something, wait a little later!”
“Fourth brother, you are in the wrong!”
Yang Shengyan and her husband spoke up too.
“Are you blatantly trying to do something to Dad?!”
With a few words, the two of them branded Qiao Yanjue and Xia Xibei as people with bad intentions.
“You guys are thinking too much,” Qiao Yanjue curled the corner of his mouth and looked at them sarcastically. “I’m not as desperate as you guys are.”
The old man’s face darkened, “Shut up!”
It was only a blink of an eye and his children were arguing, annoying him to no end.
He couldn’t afford to vent his anger at Qiao Yanjue, so he looked at Xia Xibei with a serious face.
“Miss Xia, thank you for your intention. I am not a picky person either, you can give me anything as a gift, but it doesn’t seem good to give medicine… Right?”
This was said very euphemistically, but the accusation in the words could not be concealed.
“Uncle, this pill is really good stuff.” Xia Xibei was not intimidated by the old man’s majesty. She had a serious expression as she explained, “There are a lot of herbs added here, all of which are good for one’s health!”
The old man was about to laugh.
Where did this girl come from? Didn’t she know how to read people?!
Well, if she knew how to read people, she wouldn’t have been giving people medicine!
This was simply too much!
“Did you make this pill yourself?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, it was made by Beibei himself, and it took several days!” Qiao Yanjue added.
The old man gave Qiao Yanjue a fierce glare, “Shut up! I’m not talking to you!”
He was in pain. What was wrong with this child?! Even now, he was dead set on being on Xia Xibei’s side!
“However, my health is fine, so I don’t need to take any medicine.”
If it weren’t for the fact that Xia Xibei was his son’s girlfriend, he might have kicked her out.
Of course, he was on the verge of a breakdown now.
If Xia Xibei continued to talk, he could not resist kicking her out!
“This is not the medicine you take when you’re sick,” Xia Xibei shook her head. “This is tonic medicine.”
The old man was now very upset.
This girl really didn’t know when to stop!
“All right!” he barked coldly. “We have something to do today, so we can’t entertain you. You can leave!”
The other people revealed mocking and smug smiles.
See! Shame on you!
“Why are you going back!?” Liu Yiqin’s voice suddenly sounded.
The crowd turned their heads to look, and then froze in unison.
