After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

This invitation was indeed sent by the Zhao family.

"Hmph, I bet you stole that invitation!"

"Judging from your plain clothes, you don't seem like someone of any importance. How dare you attend our Zhao family's birthday banquet?"

"Doesn't this lower the standard of the birthday banquet?"

Zhao Lin looked Chen Yun up and down, making no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Chen Yun did not speak, but quietly looked at Zhao Zai.

If the birthday celebrant were also so condescending, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

Zhao Zai glanced at the invitation, then frowned in thought.

It was clear that he couldn't make up his mind for the time being.

Just then, Wang Ziyue also arrived after hearing the news.

When she saw Chen Yun, she was taken aback at first, and then said, "Chen Yun, what are you doing here? What are you doing here causing trouble on an occasion like today?"

"Chen Yun?"

Zhao Zai was somewhat surprised when he heard the name.

Because he had heard before that his granddaughter, Wang Ziyue, had married an extremely ordinary man named Chen Yun.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Wang Ziyue pleaded, "Why don't we let him leave here to avoid any unpleasantness?"

Although she now disliked Chen Yun, she didn't want to make a big fuss and upset her grandfather.

"Is he my grandson-in-law?" Zhao Zai asked.

"Yes……"

Wang Ziyue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Divorce is not something to be proud of, so she didn't tell the Liu family.

"Today is my birthday, and all who come are guests. How can we turn people away?"

"Moreover, Chen Yun is also considered half a member of the Zhao family."

Zhao Zai beckoned to Chen Yun and said, "You can stay here today. Anyone who dares to say a word will be severely punished!"

Although the old man was quite old, his voice was still as loud and clear as a bell.

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Yun nodded, handed the brocade box to the old man, and said with a smile, "This is a gift for you, please accept it."

"Child, you've put your heart into this."

Zhao Zai casually accepted the brocade box and slowly opened it in front of everyone.

A pill with the color of black jade and emitting a shimmering, precious light came into view.

Zhao Zai, who was closest to the dragon, could even vaguely see a faint dragon shadow swimming within it.

However, it disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Zai rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

However, no matter how much he stared at the Longevity Pill afterward, he could no longer catch that fleeting dragon shadow.

The moment he reached out and picked up the Longevity Pill, it felt icy cold to the touch. When he gently smelled it, a sweet fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The moment the fragrance entered his body, Zhao Zai felt his body suddenly lighten, as if he had become several years younger.

"That's a really nice gift."

Zhao Zai looked at Chen Yun excitedly, his eyes filled with approval, "I just don't know what this thing is?"

"Your Excellency, this is a Longevity Pill that I specially prepared for your birthday banquet."

"I wish the old man a long and healthy life!"

Chen Yun said respectfully.

"Excellent! What a wonderful Longevity Pill! Child, you have a kind heart!"

Zhao Zai laughed heartily, overjoyed.

The mere smell of this Longevity Pill is enough to make one feel completely comfortable; if one were to take it, it might actually extend one's lifespan.

Chen Yun's act of gifting such medicine is no ordinary act!

Of course, only he could sense all of this.

To outsiders, it was just an ordinary pill with a somewhat unique shape.

"I'll accept this pill. Stay here after the banquet; I have something to tell you."

Zhao Zai glanced at Wang Ziyue and instructed her, "Ziyue, you should spend some time with him."

Wang Ziyue looked slightly embarrassed, pretending not to have noticed.

After accepting the gift, Zhao Zai busied himself with greeting the other guests.

There are too many guests today, so he can't afford to spend too much time on Chen Yun.

"You call this piece of junk a treasure?"

"Is Grandpa getting senile? He actually got fooled by this guy!"

"You even made it yourself... Do you think you're Laozi? You should know your place before you brag!"

Zhao Lin's tone was full of sarcasm.

He was afraid others wouldn't hear him, so he spoke very loudly.

As expected, the guests present couldn't help but laugh when they heard Zhao Lin's words.

The way they looked at Chen Yun carried a hint of disdain.

They utterly despised this opportunistic and cunning approach.

What era are we living in... still believing in elixirs?

Despite being the center of attention, Chen Yun remained calm.

“You’re just a child, it’s normal that you can’t see the magic of the elixir.”

Chen Yun shook his head, not wanting to stoop to the level of this child.

However, these words deeply stung Zhao Lin, and his face contorted in pain.

This bumpkin, what makes him think he can act tough in front of me?

"You came here today hoping to take this opportunity to remarry my cousin, right?"

Zhao Lin sneered, "Let me tell you, that's absolutely impossible!"

"Chairman Liu of the steel industry!"

"General Manager Chen of Chengwen Pharmaceutical!"

"President Wang of Hexing Group!"

"Which of these people isn't a young and promising talent? Whether it's looks or ability, they're miles ahead of you, you country bumpkin!"

"What makes you think you can compare to them?"

Zhao Lin rattled off the identities of the group of people as if they were his own treasures.

Those whose names he mentioned all wore smiles of pride.

This group of people all had business dealings with the Zhao family, and they came to offer their birthday wishes in order to strengthen their relationship.

They were well aware that the young master of the Zhao family wanted to use this opportunity to make the man surnamed Chen back down!

"I don't need to compare myself to anyone."

Chen Yun shook his head, his expression indifferent.

"Tch, you're quite capable of comparing yourself to others."

Zhao Lin chuckled, thinking that this guy's only stubborn thing was his mouth.

"Zhao Lin, say less."

Zhao Chengjun sternly reprimanded him, then smiled at Chen Yun, "Little Chen, please don't take this child to heart. He's still young and doesn't understand much!"

"It's nothing, I'll just treat it as listening to a dog barking." Chen Yun shrugged.

"Who are you calling a dog?"

Zhao Lin was so angry when he heard this that he almost turned pale with rage.

Zhao Chengjun's face darkened, and a hint of anger rose within him.

Calling his son a dog to his face, isn't that indirectly insulting him?

"Xiao Chen, you're really funny."

Zhao Chengjun chuckled awkwardly, "There are just too many guests today, so I won't personally entertain you. Please make yourself at home!"

After saying that, he turned around to greet the other guests.

Chen Yun is just an insignificant nobody; to get angry with him would be beneath one's dignity.

However, Zhao Lin, who was always impulsive, couldn't swallow this insult.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly he seemed to remember something. He said, "Hey, Mr. Chen, you just said you came in with an invitation. Can I see it?"

Chen Yun casually handed over the invitation.

After taking the invitation, Zhao Lin suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you're really stupid, aren't you?"

Chen Yun frowned; this kid must be plotting something bad again.

"You probably don't know, but the invitations sent out by our Zhao family all have our names written on them."

"You think you can take advantage of this chaos? No way!"

Zhao Lin spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with smugness.
