206: Chapter 206: Frostflower Grass 206: Chapter 206: Frostflower Grass Dongfang Ruhua was simple-minded and free from worldly sches; how could she have thought about all the complexity behind it?
When Grandpa asked her to open it, she opened it.
The small wooden box contained a pair of jade bracelets, crystal clear and lush, that were impeccable in both appearance and quality.
Such a pair of jade bracelets was rare in the world and held great value, so when Dongfang Ruhua held them in her hands for everyone to see, so of the connoisseurs in the field of jade couldn’t help but voice their admiration.
So female guests took one look at the pair of jade bracelets, and their eyes lit up with desire, wishing they could snatch them for themselves.
“Wang family’s youngster, you must have spent a pretty penny on this pair of jade bracelets?”
Dongfang Leiming glanced at Wang Dong and asked with a smile.
Wang Dong hurriedly said, “Actually, it didn’t cost that much, just over a million…
I think the amount of money doesn’t matter, what’s important is the sentint!”
“Hmm, you’re thoughtful.”
Dongfang Leiming nodded and said to Wang Dong with a smile, “Please convey my regards to your grandfather when you go back!”
“Definitely!”
An excited Wang Dong bowed slightly to Dongfang Leiming and then, under the gaze of hundreds of guests, walked down from the stage with his head held high.
When Wang Dong made his move, he presented a pair of precious jade bracelets worth over a million, which was certainly sensational, causing so guests to secretly sigh and feel that their own gifts were sowhat lacking.
Following Wang Dong, nurous guests went up to the stage to present their own gifts.
Before long, the large trolley next to Dongfang Ruhua was filled with a variety of gifts—and each one was valuable, including gold and silver jewelry, jade and pearls, costly costics, various designer clothes, bags, and so on.
Dongfang Ruhua grew weary from receiving so many gifts, but her face didn’t show much excitent.
Because almost everything the guests brought as birthday gifts was sothing her family already had, or could easily purchase, so she really couldn’t muster the interest to give them a second glance.
Seeing that most of the guests had presented their gifts, and she was still empty-handed, Su Linglong couldn’t help feeling anxious, her eyes frequently glancing at Fang Bai who was sitting beside her.
Fang Bai smiled, and with a gentle stroke over the Spatial Ring on his left finger, a plant about a foot long that resembled frost coalesced erged in his hand.
“You rember what I told you before we ca here, right?”
Fang Bai handed the Frostflower Grass to Su Linglong and asked using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission thod.
“Mhm.”
Su Linglong nodded her head, feeling a cool sensation spreading from the Frostflower Grass to her entire body, giving her an indescribable comfort that surprised her.
“Then go up and present this birthday gift.
It may seem ordinary, but once you reveal its effects, I believe there are few won in this world who wouldn’t appreciate it.”
Although she felt sowhat nervous inside, Su Linglong stood up and headed towards the stage, trusting in Fang Bai’s confidence.
Su Linglong was the belle of Zhongzhou dical College, and whether it was her figure, appearance, or deanor, she was the epito of beauty.
Her appearance on the stage imdiately drew everyone’s attention.
Many people compared Su Linglong with other exceptional beauties present, such as Dongfang Rushi, Dongfang Ruhua, Tang Wenrou, and Qin Yaorao, and found her no less stunning.
Especially the girl-next-door charm that Su Linglong exuded was sothing the other beauties lacked.
Among the scions of the wealthy elite and the young masters from the prominent clans present, there were quite a few who pursued Su Linglong.
Watching Su Linglong make her way to the podium, their gazes imdiately followed her.
“Sister Linglong…
what’s that grass you’re holding?
It looks so strange!”
Dongfang Ruhua had known Su Linglong for several years and had a good relationship with her.
Seeing that Su Linglong was holding a grass-like object and walking towards her, Ruhua blinked her eyes with curiosity and asked.
Having received so many gifts that she was becoming numb to them, Dongfang Ruhua was more interested in the frost-like grass Su Linglong held in her hand than the other presents.
Dongfang Leiming, catching a glimpse of the grass-like object in Su Linglong’s hand, also showed a surprised expression, unsure if it was the birthday gift Su Linglong intended to give his little granddaughter.
“Ruhua, this is your birthday present!
Happy birthday!”
Su Linglong stood in front of Dongfang Ruhua and handed over the “Frostflower Grass.”
In the guest seating area, soone couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to themselves that the Su Family of Zhongzhou, despite being wealthy and influential, had given a re clump of grass as a birthday gift—was this an insult to the Dongfang Family?
Even so mbers of the Dongfang Family turned unsightly.
However, there were so guests of stable temperant who pondered thoughtfully, guessing that Su Linglong must have a reason for her actions.
After all, the Dongfang Family wielded imnse influence within Huaxia, and offending them would do the Su Family no favors.
Su Linglong appeared to be an intelligent woman, and it seed unlikely that she would be so foolish as to truly offer a worthless weed to Dongfang Ruhua.
Moreover, the plant in her hand seed to be out of the ordinary.
“Thank you, Sister Linglong!”
Dongfang Ruhua, unlike others, didn’t have so many thoughts.
She was good friends with Su Linglong, and even if Linglong had co empty-handed, she would still be very happy.
Accepting the “Frostflower Grass” from Su Linglong, Ruhua exclaid with surprise and curiosity written all over her pretty face.
“This grass is so strange!
Holding it makes my whole body feel cool, and it brings an indescribable sense of comfort…
In such hot weather, holding it makes feel like I don’t even need a fan or air conditioning!
Sister Linglong, what kind of grass is this?”
Dongfang Ruhua examined the “Frostflower Grass” in her hands, seemingly unable to part with it.
“This is called ‘Frostflower Grass,’ a kind of spiritual dicine that has grown in the deep mountains for over a hundred years.
If you boil it into a dicinal liquid and drink it, your skin will beco whiter and more tender…
No costic product in this world can compare to its effects…”
Su Linglong relayed to Dongfang Ruhua exactly what Fang Bai had previously told her.
“Wow, is it really that miraculous?”
Loving beauty is a woman’s nature, and although Dongfang Ruhua was still young, she had already reached the age where she cared about her appearance.
Hearing that the “spiritual dicine” in her hand could make her skin whiter and more tender, her big, bright eyes imdiately sparkled with light.
“It’s true!”
The claims about the “Frostflower Grass” enhancing skin whitening were made by Fang Bai.
Trusting him, Su Linglong nodded affirmatively.
Many guests present also heard what Su Linglong said, with most expressing skepticism.
So thought that Su Linglong, representing the Su Family, was unlikely to deceive Dongfang Ruhua.
Lin Ruoxue, who ca from the Doctor Pavilion Sect, had an understanding of dicinal herbs far beyond ordinary people.
She knew that any herb that surpassed a hundred years in age was often referred to as “spiritual dicine.”
