Qin Xiaoya's uncles, aunts, and cousins all stepped forward to criticize her, hurling every harsh word they could think of. In an instant, Qin Xiaoya found herself drowning in rumors.
"Qin Xiaoya, let's go home," her mother said, pulling her daughter away as she witnessed the crowd's scorn.
But Qin Xiaoya's expression was defiant; she was not afraid of the accusations and gossip from her relatives. This was to be expected.
Suddenly, Qin Xiaoya smiled. She understood what these people were truly afraid of.
Seeing her smile under such pressure only fueled their irritation further.
"I know what you're worried about. How about this: let me give this pill to Grandpa. If it doesn't work, I will forfeit a billion. I won't compete with any of you for the Qin family's assets, and neither will my parents," Qin Xiaoya declared firmly, her voice ringing out clearly and silencing the murmurs from the Qin family.
The relatives exchanged glances, whispering among themselves as they debated whether to accept Qin Xiaoya's proposition.
Her parents were stunned; if their daughter meant what she said, it would mean their branch of the family would give up their claim to the Qin family's wealth if the pill failed.
This was unacceptable. Qin Xiaoya's parents couldn't bear the thought and hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
"Mom, Dad, please trust me. Grandpa will be fine," Qin Xiaoya insisted, her tone resolute.
Her parents had only one daughter, and Qin Xiaoya had always been their pride. Seeing her so determined made them hesitate before falling silent in support of her decision.
"Alright, Qin Xiaoya. As long as your family repeats that promise, we will let you in to give the old man his medicine," her uncle said. The rest of the Qin family quickly took out their phones to record the moment.
With unwavering determination, Qin Xiaoya repeated her earlier words. Her parents, now caught between a rock and a hard place, had no choice but to back their daughter.
"Now can I go see Grandpa?" Qin Xiaoya asked coldly.
The Qin family stepped aside willingly, satisfied with themselves. The old man's condition was deemed hopeless by the best doctors in the country; how could a mere pill possibly surpass modern medicine? They found it hard to believe that a single pill could bring a dying man back to life or extend his life by ten years—surely there would have been whispers about such a miracle in Huaxia if it were true.
As Qin Xiaoya entered the hospital room, she saw Old Master Qin—Qin Baonan—barely clinging to life, unconscious and sustained only by intravenous nutrients.
Taking out the Life-Extending Pill given to her by Jiang Chen, she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders; all her hopes rested on this small pill.
Her parents were tense with anxiety as they watched their daughter hold the tiny pill; truthfully, they had little faith that it could work miracles.
"Qin Xiaoya, that elixir looks just like a chocolate bean! Grandpa doesn’t like sweets," Qin Liao scoffed.
Qin Xiaoya remained expressionless as she placed the Life-Extending Pill into Qin Baonan's mouth under the watchful eyes of the entire Qin family.
As the pill entered his mouth, an eerie silence enveloped the room; everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Qin Xiaoya even forgot to breathe herself; this was a high-stakes gamble. She believed in Jiang Chen and hoped he hadn’t deceived her. If this gamble failed, she would lose everything.
