Chapter 922: Chapter 920: MAINLEY BANQUET 8 – THE PERRY SISTERS GIFTS 2
However, Diamond kept a deaf ear to all that and simply opened the bottle and an intoxicating woody fragrance spread through the hall in seconds, charming everyone.
"OMG! I feel dizzy already. Why do I seem drunk?"
"You are not alone. Damn, that’s powerful. What kind of wine is that?"
The old man upon getting hit by the woody aroma of the wine, he hurriedly snatched the bottle gently from Diamond and held it closely to his nose just for a whiff, and he was a goner.
"This is so good!" he couldn’t help but praise sincerely as he looked at her.
Everyone in the hall, without tasting the wine, already knew that it was very good, and that wasn’t something that they could hide, no matter how jealous they were
"Child, such a strong wine. Are you sure that it won’t do any damage?"
"Hehe, grandpa, that is the SV woody flavored wine and can also be called 100% alcohol content. You need to dilute it if you want to drink. A careless short can make you sleep for days. So, when you are drinking from that bottle, please dilute with utmost care."
"Oh! Is it really like that?" he asked, surprisingly as he looked at the bottle for more information.
"Yes, there are four kinds but this one is the strongest one," as she said that, she took out the remaining three bottles and opened them on the spot.
The intensity of the fragrance diminished with the grade which amazed everyone. If taking a whiff could make one’s head go wild like that, then what about a sip?
Diamond had brought eight bottles for the old man and he had them carried away immediately. Afraid that the old men would not let them be.
"I really like this gift very much. Thank you!"
"Hehe, as long as you are happy," Diamond generously said, also quite happy because she found such a perfect platform to advertise her wines. What more would she want?
The chairman was very happy. He knew for certain that these wines hadn’t been given to anyone else yet. He was the first, and considering how good they were, they would be very precious. It was an honor to be given such.
After that, Diamond also took out a small box, and from it came out a small jadeite bottle. Upon seeing another jade container, the old men and women couldn’t help but flinch. Just how loaded was she to take out one jade after another as if it was nothing?
"Grandpa, your health is ailing, and I really want to see you for a long time. You are one of the elders who has made me feel like myself, and for that, please take this. It will be very helpful to you!" With that, she passed the bottle over to him.
Chairman Mainley didn’t know what was in the bottle, but when he opened it, his eyes widened in shock and he looked at Diamond with complicated eyes.
However, she simply smiled at him, and without saying any words, the old man felt like he had truly hit a jackpot.
Without announcing or showing what was inside the bottle, he smiled gratefully at her and said, "thank you," wholeheartedly and with utmost sincerity, which made the guests and the family to wonder what was in there.
"No problem," and there was no need for her to say more words.
After handing out the bottle to him, she opened the last box, which had a set of three crystal wine goblets that looked fine and pleasing to the eyes.
The chairman was very happy with these gifts. He could see the good intentions of the sisters at a glance. Of course, his bias made him to forget that he had also been given other good things. But who made Diamond give him something that his money couldn’t buy when he needed it?
The Perry sisters, after giving the gifts, didn’t linger for long but returned to their seats under the piercing gazes of many.
At their table, while the gifting continued, Ruby worriedly asked Diamond, "sis, aren’t you afraid that by giving such a precious pill, the old man might have other thoughts?"
Diamond flicked Ruby’s forehead playfully when she asked that and confidently responded, "Dear, do you take your sister as a soft persimmon?"
Ruby stuck her tongue playfully at Diamond, thinking to herself that she had overthought.
What could happen to Diamond?
The banquet proceeded nicely and finally everyone was done with the gifts. After that, food was served and Diamond felt much alive. She was starving.
As the guests started eating, Chairman Mainley excused himself and hurriedly went to his bedroom, where he opened the jade bottle with trembling hands.
From the bottle, he took out a single familiar pill, which he had once seen but couldn’t get because that shameless Uvedale man had his dibs on it.
Back then, his wife was sick and so was the Uvedale man. He had heard about the precious healing pills and elixirs but they would cost an arm and a leg.
For his wife, he didn’t mind spending his fortune just to make sure that she was healed but unfortunately, fate wasn’t on his side.
It was a closed auction with a few of the old men and that pill appeared unexpectedly. It was said that anyone who takes it can be pulled from the brink of death and be given at most five to ten years. Who didn’t want to live long?
The bidding was the wildest one he had ever seen in his life and he lost with a crazy margin, which had propelled him to work hard with each passing day hoping that he would surpass the Uvedale but until now, that old man was still steering his family towards greatness without failing. How was he supposed to do that?
But who could have imagined that Diamond would give him such a surprise?
Tears streaked down his cheeks as he popped the pill into his mouth.
’Dear, I will come and join you later. For now, I will work hard and avenge you!’
If that old bastard didn’t take the pill, his wife would be with him right now.
How could he not hate?
