Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Inside the Ji family banquet hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the box.

Everyone looked at the pill that emitted a faint fragrance with strange expressions.

After all, this thing doesn't look like it's very valuable.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun couldn't help but say sarcastically again, "I say, Ye Chen, even if you don't have money, you don't have to try to fool us with something like this. It's all black and murky, what is this thing?"

Li Furong chimed in, "Exactly! Could this be the legendary elixir of immortality?"

"You took it out so seriously, did you buy it from a fortune teller's stall? I think you've been scammed."

"I think you'd better put it away quickly, lest you embarrass yourself here."

As she spoke, Li Furong glanced at Li Xiaojun and his wife disdainfully and said, "I'm asking you, what kind of upbringing did you give your second son's family?"

"Letting Ye Chen bring out something like this in this kind of setting, isn't that just making our Ji family a laughing stock?"

The joy they felt at having the Zhao family and Boss Liu backing them vanished in an instant.

Ji Xiaojun looked at Ye Chen, his brows furrowing.

Mei Ruofang was even more impolite, saying, "Ye Chen, why don't you put your things away? They're an eyesore!"

Ye Chen looked at his parents-in-law with a helpless expression.

With such parents, Ji Ruoyu's road to success is long and arduous.

Thinking back to his previous life, after he married Ji Ruoyun, although Ji Ruoyun didn't like him.

However, Ji Xiaojun and Mei Ruofang still treated him with ingratiating indifference, never expecting that he would become their son-in-law in this life.

As a result, her attitude was even worse than in her previous life when she married Ji Ruoyun.

Ye Chen could only shake his head helplessly at their snobbishness.

After placing the box in front of the Ji family's great-grandmother, Ye Chen respectfully said, "Great-grandmother, this pill is called the Longevity Pill, and it is the best quality one I currently have."

"The effect is nothing special, but it's twice as strong as the longevity pill that was sold to the Ho family, the gambling king of Macau, back then."

"That one costs five billion US dollars and its effect is to extend life by five years, while this one can extend life by ten years."

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother of the Ji family trembled, for she knew Ye Chen's background.

Those were people who came down from the legendary Immortal Mountain, where immortals were said to live.

Since Ye Chen said that this pill could extend one's life by ten years, it must be true.

Seeing the change in the expression of the great-grandmother of the Ji family, Ye Chen felt a pang of emotion. In his previous life, this pill had been taken away by Ji Ruoyun.

He didn't know who it was given to, and the fact that it caused the early death of the Ji family's great-grandmother was a regret he always carried.

Now that he has been given a second chance at life, Ye Chen naturally wants to make up for this regret.

However, apart from the great-grandmother of the Ji family, everyone else looked on with sneers after hearing Ye Chen's words.

Ji Ruoyun burst into laughter, completely disregarding her image, as if she had heard a very funny joke.

"I had heard before that the second son-in-law of the Ji family liked to brag, but I didn't believe it. Today I've seen it for myself."

"He also said that the elixir of immortality could extend one's life by ten years, but why didn't he say that one pill could make one ascend to heaven?"

"I think he's read too many novels and his brain has been damaged."

"That's right, the gambling king's family spent five billion US dollars to buy an elixir that could extend life by five years."

"Doesn't that mean this pill is worth at least 10 billion US dollars, which translates to over 70 billion Chinese yuan? I think Ye Chen has gone mad."

The guests and relatives around him clearly scoffed at Ye Chen's words.

The guests might guess Ye Chen's identity, but the Ji family's relatives wouldn't.

They couldn't help but become sarcastic and their words became increasingly harsh.

After all, the second wife's head had been so powerful before, and now that they finally had a chance to mock her, they wouldn't miss it.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned, but before he could speak...

Ji Ruoyun said coldly, "Don't think that just because you stumbled upon a miracle and saved Great-Grandma, you're some kind of miracle doctor."

"I advise you to put away your so-called elixir of immortality and stop making a fool of yourself here."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that all the people from the Ji family are like you, liars who spout nonsense!"

In Ji Ruoyun's view, there is no way that there is an elixir that can prolong life.

Even if it were true, it wouldn't be something a country bumpkin like Ye Chen could produce.

The thought that today was supposed to be his moment of glory, but the people Ye Chen invited had stolen his thunder, was heartbreaking.

Ji Ruoyun was very unhappy. His father even asked him to curry favor with Liu Wenwan, which made him even more dissatisfied.

Now he finally found an outlet for his anger. He wanted everyone to know that Ye Chen was a liar who spouted nothing but lies.

That way everyone will understand how wise his decision to reject Ye Chen was.

Li Furong, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity to kick someone when they're down slip by.

He sneered, "It's a good thing my daughter rejected you, you liar who's always spouting lies."

"Otherwise, who knows how much people would laugh at us."

"Someone like you is not worthy of entering the Ji family. Ruoyu, I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

"To avoid becoming a laughingstock, the Ji family has a clean and upright family tradition and will not tolerate such a liar!"

Li Furong's words were righteous and stern, doubly crushing Ye Chen on both moral and spiritual levels.

Hearing the laughter of those around him, Ji Xiaojun was swayed by some people with ulterior motives to talk about the second branch of the Ji family.

If they get the impression that they're full of lies, then when the second branch of the Ji family goes out to do business in the future, I'm afraid no one will be willing to cooperate with them.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaojun stood up and said, "Ye Chen, I won't hold it against you because you've invited such an important guest today."

"Now, take your damn longevity pill and get back to your room. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyu was about to say something to explain for Ye Chen, but Ji Xiaojun glared at her and shut her up.

This was the first time he had ever looked at his father like that, and he instinctively looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "Ye Chen, you should apologize to your great-grandmother right now!"

Ji Ruoyu had only read about longevity elixirs in some novels.

How could such a thing exist in the real world, let alone the Ho family, the gambling tycoon of Macau?

Although the head of the He family had cancer, he lived to the age of ninety-seven.

There were many rumors circulating, but Ji Ruoyu couldn't believe it had anything to do with any elixir.

Now Ye Chen is saying such things in front of so many people.

Ji Ruoyu wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.

Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu calmly and said, "Why should I apologize?"

Ye Chen was completely unconcerned about the mockery and ridicule from those around him.

After all, Ye Chen and those who mocked and ridiculed him were from completely different worlds.

How could an ant possibly understand what the world looks like through the eyes of a lion?

However, Ye Chen still felt somewhat uncomfortable when Ji Ruoyu said such things.

After all, even though she was his wife in name, Ji Ruoyu didn't believe her.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun sneered, "Ruoyu, look at this, this is the husband you chose."

"You refuse to admit your mistakes and have absolutely no sense of shame. I feel sorry for you."

Mei Ruofang frowned when she saw that Ye Chen was not listening to her daughter.

With an unfriendly look in his eyes, he said, "Ye Chen, how dare you ask such a question and spout such nonsense, causing my daughter to be gossiped about."

"My daughter must have been blind to choose you as her husband!"

"Stop talking nonsense, apologize to me right now, and get back to your room!"

Ye Chen remained unmoved by his mother-in-law's words; he simply looked at Ji Ruoyu quietly.

He asked calmly, "You don't believe me either?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's heart trembled, a strange feeling welling up inside her. She hesitated, then said, "I..."

For a moment, Ji Ruoyu didn't know how to answer, and Ye Chen looked somewhat disappointed.

He sighed and said calmly, "That's true, after all, you can't understand this kind of thing."

"It's normal not to believe it; I'm just asking for too much."

Sensing Ye Chen's disappointment, Ji Ruoyu felt as if a stone was lodged in her heart.

Just then, Zhao Miaomiao spoke up, "I believe in Brother Ye!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.

However, another voice rang out: "I also believe in Mr. Ye."

"If the Ji family doesn't want it, our Tianfeng Group is willing to invest 70 billion to buy this pill."

The speaker was none other than Liu Wenwan, who appeared calm and composed.

It was as if 70 billion wasn't much money, causing an uproar in the audience.

No one doubts whether Liu Wenwan can afford the money, after all, 70 billion is a lot.

However, for Tianfeng Group, it was nothing.

Now, some people's gazes towards that pill changed.

A thought arose in their minds: Could it be that this elixir is real?

At this moment, everyone in the Ji family except for the great-grandmother of the Ji family almost dropped their jaws to the ground.

This single pill is worth 70 billion; many people think Liu Wenwan has gone mad.

Ji Ruoyu felt even more choked up, because as a wife, she didn't trust her husband.

On the contrary, outsiders like Zhao Miaomiao and Liu Wenwan chose to believe.

Just as everyone was in shock, an excited voice rang out.

"The Longevity Pill! If it truly is the Longevity Pill, then to have seen it in my lifetime is to have no regrets!"
