Is there any happy wine in this world? Xianyu He felt that ever since his daughter disappeared, he had become a mere shell of a man, completely losing all confidence in life.
"It smells so good, Xiao Fan, what is this fragrance?"
As soon as they reached the attic, Dao Dahai sniffed the air several times, looking around for the source of the aroma.
Even Xianyu He couldn't help but twitch his nose, and he was secretly surprised. "Hmm, how magical, why does this peculiar fragrance invigorate me so?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled at Dao Dahai and said, "Stop looking around, the aroma comes from the tea I've brewed!"
He took out two glass cups and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
As the tea water landed in the cups, an even richer fragrance erupted from the swirling liquid.
"This is a new golden tea from Zhuxi Village that I've recently developed. It has a rich aroma, and drinking it can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "Have a few sips and try it!"
Dao Dahai eagerly picked up his teacup and took a big gulp, swallowing it down. He felt a surge of energy and exclaimed, "Good tea, it's truly good tea!"
Xianyu He savored a small sip. The intense, peculiar fragrance lingered in his mouth for a long time, delivering a powerful gustatory shock.
The golden tea liquid shimmered with a golden luster in the sunlight filtering through the window.
It was a double impact, both in taste and sight.
As a magnate in the largest coastal commercial city, Xianyu He had drunk countless famous Chinese and foreign teas. Yet, in his entire life, he had never tasted such delicious golden tea!
"Good tea, it's truly good tea!"
Although Xianyu He's words were identical to Dao Dahai's, their underlying meanings were vastly different.
Dao Dahai was impressed by the taste alone, whereas Xianyu He focused on the deeper meaning conveyed by the tea's flavor.
When they had nearly finished their tea, Xianyu He took out a check from his person and respectfully handed it to Cheng Xiaofan, saying, "Mr. Cheng, four years ago, in my search for my daughter, I placed advertisements in various media outlets, offering a reward of one hundred million yuan to anyone who could find her, as a token of my gratitude!"
"This is the one hundred million yuan reward I am giving you. It is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it!"
He is indeed a wealthy man!
A reward of one hundred million yuan with a single gesture!
But!
Cheng Xiaofan pushed the check back, saying, "Mr. Xianyu, to lose a child before one's own end is a pain I understand. The blow of losing your daughter must have been immense."
"I truly find it difficult to accept this reward!"
Xianyu He looked at Cheng Xiaofan with shock.
After all, it was a reward of one hundred million yuan. Any ordinary young farmer would have eagerly accepted it.
Yet, the young man before him refused!
For years, Xianyu He had navigated the cutthroat world of business and had met all sorts of people.
He could see at a glance that Cheng Xiaofan was not being coy; his words were sincere.
To encounter such a young man in this day and age was truly unbelievable!
"Mr. Cheng, you must accept it. Although my daughter is no longer with us, this is my promise when I was searching for her!"
Xianyu He said, "I cannot break my promise, or it will be a betrayal of my daughter!"
"Respected Mr. Cheng, if you can truly understand a father's feelings, please accept this reward!"
Hearing him speak to this extent, Cheng Xiaofan felt that refusing further would be rather ungracious.
Besides, it was one hundred million yuan!
Not accepting it would make him seem like a fool to others!
"Alright, Mr. Xianyu, I will accept it then!"
Cheng Xiaofan reluctantly took the check and tucked it into his clothes. "It's already noon, let's have lunch!"
Thinking that Xianyu He had brought bodyguards, he added, "Mr. Xianyu, make a call and have them come up too!"
Xianyu He shook his head and said, "There's no need to call them. They were provided with food and drinks in the car when we came."
"Since they have food, I don't need to worry about them!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile.
He first placed the pot of braised wild chicken with mushrooms on the table, followed by steamed immortal fish and a platter of fruit and ginseng.
It was simple: three dishes!
The aroma emanating from these three dishes alone was intoxicating.
"So fragrant!"
Dao Dahai exclaimed eagerly, his desire to try them palpable.
Xianyu He merely marveled inwardly, "So fragrant! I feel as though I've transcended into a world of exquisite cuisine!"
How could such a fragrance exist in the mortal world?
Even more wondrous was that upon smelling this fragrance, something hidden deep within him seemed to be gradually awakening.
Was this the ultimate meaning of life?
Countless questions swirled in his mind.
How did this Cheng Xiaofan achieve this?
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan brought out two jin of Happy Wine and poured a full cup for each of them. The unique aroma of the wine immediately burst forth like a clear stream from the fragrance of the dishes, encircling everyone's noses.
Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, Xianyu He was utterly astounded!
He then realized that what was hidden within his heart was his confidence in life, which was now being fully ignited and awakened by the fragrance of the Happy Wine.
Without Cheng Xiaofan's invitation, Xianyu He proactively raised his cup, took a sip, and swallowed it. His pores seemed to relax and expand.
He felt as if the blood in his body was surging like rivers, lakes, and oceans!
"Hahaha, good wine, truly worthy of the name Happy Wine!"
Xianyu He couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, "For over four years, I haven't experienced what it means to be happy. It feels as though happiness has completely abandoned me!"
"I never imagined that Mr. Cheng's Happy Wine would bring me such unprecedented joy!"
"Alas..."
At this point, Xianyu He couldn't help but frown slightly, sighing deeply. He stopped speaking and listlessly picked up a piece of immortal fish.
The taste of the immortal fish made his entire body tremble slightly.
His face was filled with satisfaction and amazement.
The tender fish seemed to melt in his mouth. After a few gentle chews, his entire mouth was filled with its savory essence.
It was simply exquisite!
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at Xianyu He and asked with a smile, "Mr. Xianyu, if I'm not mistaken, your daughter Xianyu Jie should have a twin sister who is lying in bed, ill?"
Hearing this, Xianyu He was startled abruptly!
*Crack!*
The chopsticks in his hand fell to the table.
He froze, turning to Cheng Xiaofan with his mouth agape.
"Mr. Cheng, how... how did you know?"
After a long while, Xianyu He finally came back to his senses, looking at Cheng Xiaofan with dazed eyes as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and asked.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "I saw it from the vital energy emanating from you!"
"Vital energy?"
Xianyu He became even more confused. "What is vital energy?"
Cheng Xiaofan explained, "As long as a person is alive, a layer of energy circulates around them, which is called vital energy in ancient medical texts."
"By observing the strength of the fluctuation of vital energy, one can determine a person's health condition, and even tell if their descendants are prosperous!"
"Your daughter should have become a vegetative state more than a year ago due to an accident, and has been lying in bed ever since!"
