Chapter 75: Why is she so good?

The old man regained consciousness and looked around in confusion.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Your heart problems acted up and you collapsed. How many times do I have to tell you not to get so excite? Are you trying to die and leave me behind?" the old madam wailed.

"But I feel fine, honey, looked at me, aren’t I still here with you?" he asked. "I am full of energy." He attempted to leave the bed.

"What are you doing?" He Weili shouted worriedly.

To their amazement, the old master climbed out of the bed and stood up steadily. There was no crouch in his back or moans about how his back was aching which was usually the case.

The old master even took a few steps on his own without needing a walking stick.

"See, I feel just as I used to when I was in my forties." He said. He even jumped up twice.

"How?" the old madam asked.

Indeed, everyone was puzzled. How in the world was an old man who was at deaths door a few minutes ago have the energy to jump up and down.

"What is that pill?" Tang Siming asked curiously.

"Host, you cannot divulge the origin of the pill." T4 reminded her.

"I know that, do you think I would be crazy to say I got it from a system that came from an alien world?"

She felt someone attempting to touch the box in her hands and she pulled it away.

"Tang Siming, what are you up to?" she asked. His greedy eyes were eyeing the box like it was his new god.

"I just want to look." He whined.

"Do you have a billion?" she asked.

"No," he lowered his head like a misbehaving toddler. "But I can get it. The minister of health offered me a job in its top secret research lab."

After saying that, he covered his mouth with his mouth because he had just divulged a secret he was not meant to share.

"Grandma." Chi Lian reached into her box of pills and got one. "This is for you." She placed it directly in her hands.

"Chi-Chi, I don’t need this, I am not ill."

"Grandma, if grandpa goes jumping around and looking handsome, women will throw themselves at him. How will you stop them if you are walking around with a bent back and walking stick? You should chase after him and kick them away."

The old madam and others laughed.

"Yes, mother, you should take the pill. We can go for kick boxing classes together." Her daughter in law encouraged.

Jun Muyang did not say anything but he nodded in agreement.

The old madam lay down on the bed and took the pill with the remaining spring water. Soon, she was in the same condition the old master had been in, moaning and twisting in pain.

Without being told, Muyang and Siming held her down as well.

Chi Lian left the room and told the Jun family butler to ask the maids to bring new outfits for both of the elders. On side effect of the pill was sweating as if one were in the inside of a hot furnace. The elders could not come out looking a mess.

"Chi-Chi," her mother pulled her away from the guest room the moment the butler left, "What’s happening is the old master alright?"

"Yes mother, he is awake and moving around already."

"Oh thank God," her father’s body sagged in relief. "Do you know how scared we were all were? Don’t do that again. You are not a doctor, how can you possibly save him?"

"But I_""

"You were wrong toady sister. Never make such a decision without consulting us first. If anything goes wrong, we your brothers are willing to take the fall." Chi Wei and her two brothers stepped in.

"Mama," Mei-Mei whined and reached her arms out. Mama Chi handed her off to Chi Lian. She had to keep her daughter busy in some way and keep her out of the room. This was really scary.

After the elders bathed and changed, they returned to the living room and joined the rest of the family.

"Old master, how are you feeling?" Mama Chi asked immediately.

"As fit as a fiddle." The old master replied. He was holding the old madam’s hand and smiling at her lovingly.

"Dinner is ready," the butler informed them.

Everyone moved to the dining room happily. The scary trial was over and laughter and happiness had returned.

Jun Muyang held Chi Lian back as others moved.

"What?" she asked.

"Thank you." He said and hugged her. "You don’t know what you have done for me." He whispered.

For him, the elders were very important in his life, more important than his parents. They were his saviors and losing his grandfather that way would have been devastating.

"I have a list of names of all those people that said those nasty things, if I give it to you, will you make them pay?" she asked.

"I will make them face the full force of the Jun Corporation and Jun investments. They will not avoid facing criminal charges I promise."

"Good." She sent the list to his phone. Thank God for T4.He always came though.

"But, am I allowed to ask what that pill is?"

"If you have one billion." She answered with a laugh. He was still holding her and shaking unwillingly. This event must have scared him more than he thought. "But if it’s for you, I can give a discount."

"Why do I have to pay when grandma and grandpa got it for free?"

"Because they love me if you tell me that you love me, you can get it at no cost as well." She teased.

"Pssh." He pinched her waist softly.

"Ouch." She pretended to be hurt.

"Chi Lian," he called her name softly. He called it more seductively than he intended. He wanted to tell her that perhaps he liked her. He wanted to say that she had somehow become more important to him than he imagined. He wanted to ask her why she was foolishly selfless.

Did she know how much that little pill of hers was worth? Rich people would pay billions to get a second lease on life and she had just given two pills to his grandparents for free. He was sure that if he asked, she would give him one as well at no cost.

He wanted to as why she was so good to him.

"What?" she asked. Her voice was so soft, he barely heard the question.

"I..." he started to say and stopped.

"What?" she asked again.

"Nothing." he said. Instead he tipped her face up and kissed her.
