Chapter: 4765
Although he relied on the half pellet of blood-rescuing elixir given by Ye Chen to successfully prolong his life, he was also well aware that he had already approached death when he first took the medicine, and most of its efficacy was consumed in saving his life rather than prolonging it.
This is why Ye Chen said at the time that this half pellet of blood-rescuing elixir could allow him to live for another year or two at most.
It's exactly because of this that Fee Jian Zhong had started counting down the days left in his life, and he placed most of his hopes on next year's auction of the Revival Elixir. However, he was also filled with doubts,
After all, he is no longer the patriarch of the Fee family, and when he was still the patriarch, he failed to successfully bid for the Revival Elixir; now that he has retired, the situation next year is still unknown.
Although he doesn't doubt Fee Ke Xin's integrity and filial piety, he is worried that the price of the Revival Elixir next year will be even higher than this year, maybe much higher.
If it really is much higher, even if Fee Ke Xin is willing to spend money, it may not be enough.
So, this time when Fee Ke Xin goes to Hong Kong to help Ye Chen resolve the Chen Zao Zhong affair, Fee Jian Zhong sees a glimmer of hope.
He considers himself relatively familiar with Ye Chen's character; generally speaking, he won't owe anyone favors, and many times, people respect him one foot tall, and he respects others one foot tall.
As the head of the Fee family, Fee Ke Xin would travel such a long distance; it's only natural that Ye Chen should express some gratitude.
Fee Jian Zhong wouldn't dare hope that Ye Chen could give Fee Ke Xin a Revival Elixir, but if Ye Chen could give her half a pellet of Blood-Stoppering Heart Elixir, that would add at least one or two years, or even three years to his lifespan.
It's precisely because of this that he didn't sleep well last night and spent the whole day thinking about the Blood-Stoppering Heart Elixir.
Several times, he almost couldn't resist the urge to call or send a message asking Fee Ke Xin about it, but considering she should be with Ye Chen all along, he could only wait until Fee Ke Xin returns to reveal the answer personally.
The plane carrying Fee Ke Xin first took off for Providence and then from Providence flew to New York, and after adding in the layovers, they wasted almost 45 minutes.
When he heard that Fee Ke Xin's plane had already landed at JFK Airport in New York, his anxiety inside grew even more intense.
Originally, he was eager to go to the airport to pick her up; this would allow him to uncover the truth first-hand.
But thinking about his granddaughter being incredibly smart and skilled at observing details, he feared that his behavior might give away his intentions, so he could only suppress his impulsiveness and wait anxiously at home.
When the butler came to tell him that his niece's car had already entered the main gate, he couldn't hold back anymore and quickly told the butler, "Quickly, help me go outside to greet!"
The difficulty lies in whether there's any indication at all?
As Fee Jianzhong walked to the main entrance of his estate, accompanied by the butler, Fei Ke Xin's car convoy arrived at the same time.
Other members of the Fee family were also following behind.
After getting out of the car, Fei Ke Xin saw her grandfather personally coming out to greet her and immediately understood what was going on in his mind. She then thought about the heart-stopping pill that Lei Chen had given her and put it in her bosom, feeling a few degrees of unease inside.
She knew that her grandfather's expectations for the blood-refining pill and the Heart-Stopping Pill had exceeded everything. As a granddaughter, she should not hesitate at all to take out the pill and give it to her grandfather.
But thinking about Lei Chen's previous warnings, she could only suppress this impulse.
So she quickly walked up to her grandfather and said with respect: "Grandfather, why are you still personally coming out?"
Her grandfather looked at her with a warm gaze and smiled: "You're the master of the Fee family, and you just returned from so far away. Of course, I'm going to come out to greet you and give you a clean bill of health." JrNovels.com
