Chapter 49?!
"Su Youfei!" Su Zichen's eyebrows shot up in anger. "I'll eat right now!"
“This was originally a betrothal gift from Lu Chenyang to me, so of course I have to accept it all.”
Su Zichen took the string of vermilion fruits, picked one up, and popped it into her mouth.
It must be said that the taste is indeed both sour and astringent.
Moreover, it has a very strong flavor that hits your taste buds directly.
After swallowing, it felt like my throat was burning, as if I had drunk strong liquor.
However, after only a short while, I felt warm all over.
It even gives you a slightly tipsy feeling, which makes your body feel very comfortable.
Su Zichen deliberately left two for Lu Chenyang, and ate the rest of the large bunch of Vermilion Fruits herself.
He also invited others to try it, but they all refused.
"It's unbelievable that someone can eat such disgusting food with such relish."
"It's amazing that one person dares to take out this junk and the other dares to eat it."
"You two are a perfect match."
Su Youfei's face was full of disdain.
The other members of the Su family also joined in the laughter.
Only Tang Yurong and Su Dahai were extremely embarrassed.
The initial goodwill stemmed from Lu Chenyang helping his family acquire shares.
At that moment, it all vanished completely.
Tang Yurong glared fiercely at Lu Chenyang.
If we weren't so far apart, I would have loved to kick him under the table a couple of times.
Just then.
A middle-aged man dressed in a white training uniform, breathing evenly and walking steadily, strode in.
"Master Zhu! We've been waiting for you..."
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Grandma Su quickly stood up.
He stepped forward to greet him, saying, "It is truly an honor for our Su family to have Master Zhu as a guest."
The other members of the Su family also stood up and greeted them.
"Master Zhu..."
"Greetings, Master Zhu..."
After all, the Martial Arts Guild is responsible for the security management of a city and has enormous power.
If one could get close to such a leader, not only would one be able to achieve twice the results even if things failed in the future.
In fact, it can save you more than a decade of hard work.
"I'm sorry, something came up and I had to wait a while." Zhu Weidong nodded casually. "Our president suddenly wanted to see me."
"Furthermore, with Commander Chen present, I naturally cannot refuse."
"Master Zhu, you're too kind. Of course, the matters concerning Chairman Zhuo and Commander Chen are more important." Old Madam Su greeted Zhu Weidong with a smile and invited him to sit down. "Master Zhu, please sit down first. I'll have someone bring another table of food and wine right away."
Zhu Weidong waved his hand lightly and said casually, "No need, I just came over for a casual chat."
"I have some important business to attend to at the guild later."
Zhu Weidong was just about to sit down.
Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of the two remaining fruits on Lu Chenyang's plate.
His expression instantly turned serious, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Because she had heard that the Vermilion Fruit was a highly nourishing food, Su Zichen specially saved two for Lu Chenyang.
"Master Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Zhu Weidong stared intently at Lu Chenyang's plate.
Grandma Su asked with a hint of doubt, "Could it be that our Su family has neglected our hospitality today?"
"If the dishes don't suit your taste, I'll have them all removed right now and made again."
However, Zhu Weidong turned a deaf ear to what the old lady was saying.
His eyes remained fixed on the two fruits on Lu Chenyang's plate. "Young man, may I take a look at the two fruits on your plate?"
Without wasting any words, Lu Chenyang picked up the plate and placed it in front of Zhu Weidong.
At this point, the two fruits were covered in oil and even had some food residue on them.
The Su family members all felt nauseous and disgusted at the sight.
However, Zhu Weidong's eyes widened even more.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Young sir, could I have these two fruits?"
"Whatever." Lu Chenyang waved his hand dismissively.
"Master Zhu, this fruit is both sour and astringent."
"Besides, it's a worthless street vendor item, do you really want it..."
Zhu Weidong picked up two fruits and was about to put them in his mouth.
Grandma Su quickly said, "I'll have someone help you clean it."
"These are two century-old Vermilion Fruits." Zhu Weidong simply wiped away the food scraps on them casually.
In front of everyone, he plucked two vermilion fruits and swallowed them in one gulp.
"what?!"
Grandma Su was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Su Youfei was dumbfounded.
The entire Su family stared wide-eyed, frozen in place like statues.
Only Lu Chenyang's expression was somewhat strange.
This guy didn't even wash it before swallowing it.
"Master Zhu, what... what's wrong with you?" Old Madam Su was so shocked that she stammered.
Zhu Weidong is the head of the Azure Dragon Hall and a trusted confidant of the association's chairman, Zhuo Haishan.
Its status within the entire martial arts guild can be ranked in the top five or even the top three.
But now, he actually ate the two remaining fruits on Lu Chenyang's plate!
It was covered in grease, and there might even be some of Lu Chenyang's...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was a bit out of line just now."
Zhu Weidong wiped his mouth with satisfaction, "This Vermilion Fruit is truly too rare."
"I have lived for decades in vain, and I have only been fortunate enough to see a vermilion fruit that is less than ten years old."
"And those two Vermilion Fruits from earlier were over a hundred years old."
"Each one is worth no less than 500 million, and they are priceless."
"So, I really couldn't resist."
"What? One costs no less than 500 million, and there's no market for it?" Upon hearing Zhu Weidong's words, the eyes of the entire Su family nearly popped out of their sockets.
"If a martial artist takes a Vermilion Fruit, it can clear his meridians and improve his skills."
"If an ordinary person takes it, they will be free from all diseases and their lifespan will be extended by one month."
"I was just lucky to run into this today."
"Otherwise, even with my status, I am not worthy of eating this fruit at all."
Zhu Weidong laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.
"To be free from all diseases and to prolong life?"
Every word Zhu Weidong spoke was like a cannonball exploding in the minds of the Su family members.
Splash...
All eyes turned to Su Zichen.
Because Su Zichen had just eaten a whole bunch, at least twenty or thirty pieces.
In that case, he has at least extended his lifespan by two or three years!
"Master Zhu, are you sure you're not joking?"
"This one fruit can prevent all diseases and even add a month to one's lifespan?"
Su Youfei felt her heart was bleeding, but she still asked, unwilling to give up.
He simply couldn't believe that Lu Chenyang was just a recently released convict.
How could he possibly produce a dowry worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions?
You should know that the string of red fruits he just ate was almost worth the entire market value of several of his companies.
If Lu Chenyang is really that capable, he can casually produce gifts worth hundreds of millions.
Why would he be willing to become a live-in son-in-law in the Su family?
Moreover, he was willing to marry a blind woman.
