Chapter 6046

The Sun family's banquet was quite lavish. Many of the exquisite ingredients present were items that Orrin typically wouldn't eat on ordinary days, and Charlie had hardly ever encountered them before. Angie watched him, her demeanor that of a mother-in-law admiring her son-in-law, finding him charming no matter how she viewed him. Throughout the meal, she made various efforts to engage him, even urging Stefanie, who sat beside her, to keep serving Charlie more food. Charlie was initially very anxious, worried that Stefanie's parents might bring up topics like marriage or children during the dinner. However, to his surprise, the couple did not touch upon these subjects, which allowed Charlie to feel much more at ease and comfortable. Yet, even though they didn't mention it, Charlie quickly felt both relieved and particularly embarrassed. The more the couple refrained from directly pressuring him, the more he sensed their understanding and concern for him. Charlie, being a kind-hearted person, felt grateful. He recognized their lack of direct pressure as a sign of their kindness toward him. So, after lunch, while everyone was engaged in conversation at the table, Charlie took out two rejuvenation pills and respectfully offered them to Orrin and Angie, saying, "Uncle Orrin and Aunt Angie, I’d like to give you these two rejuvenation pills as a token of my thoughts for you both." The couple was taken aback by Charlie’s sudden presentation of the Rejuvenation Pills meant for them. They both knew that at the auction, the value of a single Rejuvenation Pill exceeded 100 billion dollars, meaning the combined worth of these two pills far surpassed the total assets of the entire Sun family. As a result, Orrin quickly declined: "Charlie, this is absolutely out of the question. This Rejuvenation Pill is invaluable and serves as a significant source of your income. How could we possibly accept such a precious gift from you?" Angie, standing beside him, concurred immediately: "Yes, Charlie! Your Uncle Orrin and I are in great health right now. We’re not sick or experiencing any discomfort at all. This elixir would go to waste for us!" Charlie smiled and replied, "Uncle Orrin and Aunt Angie, the reason the Rejuvenation Pill is named as such is because it not only cures illnesses but also significantly rejuvenates a person's vitality." Pausing briefly, he continued, "While you two are indeed very healthy now and won't benefit from it in terms of healing, taking the Rejuvenation Pill can make you feel ten to twenty years younger physically." He then glanced at Stefanie and back at Angie, adding with a smile, "Aunt Angie, after you take the Rejuvenation Pill, you and Stefanie will look more like sisters." Upon hearing this, Angie's heart swelled with desire. No woman dislikes beauty or the prospect of looking younger, and all older women yearn for their youth. Angie spends a significant amount of money and time each year on anti-aging treatments.

Whether it’s how a woman’s figure may change or how her skin might lose its luster, or how wrinkles deepen and breasts sag, all of these issues are intrinsically related to aging. Angie typically spends several million, sometimes even tens of millions, on anti-aging endeavors each year, yet the results often fall short of expectations. Time marches on relentlessly, and the inevitability of aging cannot be easily reversed. Stabilizing one’s condition is rare, let alone achieving a reversal. Even cosmetic procedures that aim to restore youth lose their effectiveness rapidly, often leading to long-lasting side effects. It's said that those who undergo too many cosmetic surgeries can face irreversible damage and complications. Now, the possibility of Charlie providing a pill that could make a person feel 20 years younger is extraordinary. This is undoubtedly the best cosmetic treatment available in the world. However, as Angie contemplated the staggering value of the Rejuvenation Pill, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, she felt hesitant to allow herself to hope for such a gift. After all, it was far too expensive. Its exorbitance made even considering it feel overwhelming. At that moment, Orrin said, "Charlie, I truly appreciate that you saved my life before. How can we accept such a priceless gift from you? You should keep these two rejuvenation pills; they will undoubtedly serve you well in the future!" Charlie replied earnestly, "Uncle Orrin, it’s distasteful to say that. In my mind, you and Aunt Angie hold a status equivalent to that of my own parents. Therefore, these two elixirs are not simply gifts; they represent my respect for you as a junior. After all, I want to show my gratitude to you. You can’t refuse them, can you?" Stefanie was equally excited at this moment. Unlike her parents, who felt indebted to Charlie and were hesitant to accept such gracious gifts, Stefanie had long since considered herself to belong to Charlie. Since they were all together, there was no need for politeness. Moreover, as their child, she naturally wished for her parents to maintain their health and youth. This was an incredible opportunity that her parents should not turn down. With that thought, she quickly interjected, "Dad, Mom, this is what Charlie intends for you. Please accept it graciously and thank him, alright? Why do you want to insist on being so formal?" Orrin replied sheepishly, "Oh, you young lady, you don't understand the value of these two rejuvenation pills! How can we just take them?" Stefanie stood up, took the two pills, and firmly placed one in each of her parents' hands, asserting, "Dad, Mom! Think of these rejuvenation pills as the betrothal gifts Charlie is giving you in advance for me. If you won’t even accept the betrothal gifts, how can you let me marry in the future?"
