Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Expensive mineral water

Lu Han, already the center of attention because of Qin Muyan, became even more so after Qiu Shaoze's remark. Everyone's gaze focused on him, and they were all surprised when they heard Qiu Shaoze's words. "He wants to marry into the Su family? That's laughable. Has he even taken a look at himself?" "A toad lusting after a swan's flesh, he must be delusional!" "How could Miss Su agree to marry someone like him? I would be a better match." "Give me a break. Only Qiu Shao can match Miss Su." "..." Listening to the constant belittling of Lu Han around him, Qiu Shaoze's lips curved into a smirk. Lu Han glanced at Qiu Shaoze and then said to Qin Muyan: "We'll talk about our matter later." After finishing his sentence, he walked out from the corner under everyone's gaze, stepped onto the central red carpet, and walked toward the stage where Su Qinxue was standing. "Miss Su, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a good gift, so I'm giving you a bottle of water as a gift." Saying this, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Su Qinxue. The room went silent for a moment and then erupted into laughter. "Hahaha, I've never seen someone give mineral water as a birthday gift before!" "This guy is truly one-of-a-kind, thinking of marrying into a family but giving mineral water as a gift, what a spectacle!" "It's not scary to be poor; what's scary is not knowing oneself. No wonder he wants to marry into a family for their money!" "Get out! My gift cost hundreds of thousands, and he gives a two-dollar water, it's nonsense!" Emotions ran high among the group of rich second-generation individuals, their faces full of mockery and contempt. Qiu Shaoze, Ning Yongyi, Ding Qiang, and others who had conflicts with Lu Han, seeing this scene, felt extremely pleased, even more satisfied than being with a woman. They thought Lu Han was just embarrassing himself. Ning Yongyi even took out his phone to take a photo, planning to share it on social media to invite more ridicule. Although Lu Han wasn't part of their circle, his bid for an imperial green jade at the auction had caught the attention of many jewelry companies. Ning Yongyi knew that many were willing to offer high prices for Lu Han to become an appraiser. He was determined to tarnish Lu Han's reputation and ensure he could never work in the jewelry industry again. Qin Muyan, shocked by everyone's criticism, breathed a sigh of relief that outsiders did not know about her marriage arrangement with him; otherwise, she would have been mortified. How could such a person even dream of being her fiancé? He wasn't worthy! Su Qinxue was also stunned, not sure whether to accept the mineral water and feeling a surge of anger. This was too casual for her 25th birthday. Even if he had no prepared gift, anything would've been better than mineral water. Was this an insult? She had just offered him an annual salary of ten million, not yet paid, but even so, he could afford a gift that cost a few hundred yuan. Even strangers wouldn't give such a gift. Seeing Su Qinxue hesitant to receive it, Lu Han raised an eyebrow, "What? Don't want it?" Before Su Qinxue could answer, a voice rang out from below. "Miss Su, if you don't want it, can you let me have it? I'm willing to pay for it!" The voice was deep and overpowered everyone else's, causing a momentary bewilderment as they looked towards its source. Who would be foolish enough to pay for mineral water? When they saw who it was, they gasped. The speaker was none other than Sun Jing from the prestigious Sun family. He was incredulous at first but became displeased when he heard the ridicule toward Lu Han. This was his grandfather's lifesaver, and he couldn't let these people insult him. Seeing Su Qinxue not taking the water, he said what he did to save Lu Han's face. Just as everyone thought Sun Jing had lost his mind, Wang Tianhui also shouted eagerly: "Indeed, Miss Su, if you don't want it, I'll take it!" Silence fell, and everyone stared incredulously at Wang Tianhui; unexpectedly, the Wang family also intervened! Wang Tianhui thought further ahead. He believed Lu Han definitely wasn't short on money, yet he gave a bottle of mineral water. There had to be something special about it, which is why he quickly spoke up. Su Qinxue was baffled. Sun Jing and Wang Tianhui were prominent figures, and even she couldn't afford to offend them. Yet, both wanted Lu Han's mineral water! Qiu Shaoze, Ning Yongyi, and others seemed as though they had swallowed flies, their faces twisted in confusion. Why would the heirs of the Sun and Wang families want this bottle of mineral water? Seeing Sun Jing and Wang Tianhui stand up, Lu Han smiled and said to Su Qinxue, "If you don't want it, I'll give it to them." As he turned to leave the stage, Su Qinxue hurriedly pulled him to a stop. "Wait for a moment!" Su Qinxue took the water from Lu Han's hand. Being intelligent, she sensed something amiss seeing both heirs interested in the water and coupled with the mysterious aura of Lu Han. Curious to verify her suspicions, she took the water, twisted open the cap, and took a sip. Boom... With the water's ingress, a warm current flowed down her throat into her body. Su Qinxue felt as though her brain had exploded. Every cell in her body screamed and trembled with delight. She shook slightly, unable to resist another sip. Words failed to describe the sensation! It was like a dehydrated traveler in a desert stumbling upon an oasis. All fatigue vanished from her body, and she even felt her skin twitching and tightening, making her complexion smoother and more taut. Everyone noticed the change in Su Qinxue. She seemed more radiant, and even her aura took on an ethereal quality. Closing her eyes to savor the feeling, after a while, Su Qinxue reopened her eyes, vibrant and vibrant voice soft, "Lu Han, what is this water? Why do I feel so energized after drinking it? Even my neck problem seems to have improved." Wang Tianhui's heart skipped, his guess confirmed. This was not ordinary water but healing water. Being a witness to Lu Han's medical skills, he disregarded his status and approached, shouting: "Miss Su, are you selling this water? I'm willing to offer one billion!" Before his words fell, Sun Jing also stepped forward, "Miss Su, I'm willing to offer two billion!" The crowd below turned to stone at their words. The gift they mocked for being cheap was now commanding a two billion price tag. They all felt as if they had been slapped across the face, the sting burning on their cheek.
