Ma Zhenghong didn't quite understand this Jade Dew Elixir, so he simply handed the gift box to Liu Wanqing beside him: "Wanqing, take a look at this."

Liu Wanqing quickly took the gift box, and when she saw the jade bottle and ivory spoon inside, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she covered her mouth in surprise, almost crying out.

She had only seen this Jade Dew Elixir once by chance at a top-tier private auction. At that time, only the bottle itself was visible, yet it fetched a sky-high price of over 100 million. She didn't even get a clear look at what was inside; she only remembered its unique fragrance.

Having frequented high society circles in her early years, she had naturally heard of the reputation of Jade Dew Elixir—a health-preserving elixir that all wealthy women dreamed of, capable of not only conditioning the body but also nourishing the skin and maintaining youthful appearance, with effects far surpassing all luxury skincare products on the market.

Its price has long exceeded the scope of ordinary luxury goods. More importantly, it is in short supply. Like Snow Top Cloud Bud, it is a rare item with a price but no market.

Liu Wanqing looked up at Jiang Wenxi, her eyes filled with emotion. She really hadn't expected to see two such rare treasures at once today.

Originally, the couple only wanted to invite Jiang Wenxi to their home for a meal to thank her in person for helping Ma Yun, but they did not expect that she would not only come happily, but also bring such two priceless treasures.

The couple quickly and carefully put away the two gift boxes. Ma Zhenghong looked at Jiang Wenxi with a more solemn and grateful gaze, and said sincerely, "Miss Jiang, you're too kind! We haven't even properly thanked you for helping Xiaoyun out of that predicament, and you've already sent us two such precious items. We really don't deserve this kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhenghong showed a hint of guilt on his face and sighed softly, "Our son has always been playful and mischievous since he was little, and he doesn't know anything. I'm afraid that his impetuous nature will cause you trouble."

Jiang Wenxi gently shook her head, her tone calm and gentle: "Mr. Ma, you don't need to be so polite. I consider Ma Yun a friend. The eight million I won at the underground amusement park last time was just a coincidence, it's not much of a favor. On the contrary, I was new to China and unfamiliar with many things, so I'm very grateful to Siya and Ma Yun for showing me around. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have any company."

When this was mentioned, Ma Zhenghong and his wife exchanged a glance. Mrs. Ma shook her head helplessly: "Yes, this kid mentioned it to us a long time ago. But to be honest, with him like this, all he does is eat, drink, and have fun all day long, we really don't believe he can accomplish anything worthwhile."

"Mr. Ma, you're overthinking it," Jiang Wenxi said confidently. "Ma Yun is already preparing to start a game company. You two should already know that, right?"

Ma Yun, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up and quickly came over, looking at her parents with a hint of pride: "That's right! Mom, this isn't something I came up with on a whim. It's a serious plan I've been thinking about for months, and I even consulted Wenxi's opinion!"

Jiang Wenxi spoke slowly, her tone carrying a hint of objective certainty, "You and Mrs. Ma have built your current business empire primarily through your own hard work and perseverance. Like father, like son, your child will certainly not be lacking. Moreover, I have carefully listened to Ma Yun's entrepreneurial ideas, and the game industry he is currently preparing to enter has great market potential, and his plan is also very feasible."

Ma Zhenghong raised an eyebrow and looked at his son: "Really?"

Ma Yun hurriedly defended herself, her tone tinged with grievance, "Do you think I've been busy doing nothing all this time? I told you before that I wanted to ask you to invest some money, but none of you were willing, saying that I was neglecting my duties."

"Anyway, I don't need your investment now. Once my detailed plan is finalized, I'll show it to Wenxi first. She's already said that if the plan is suitable, she'll invest in me. By then, I can build the company myself; I won't need your money at all!"

Mr. and Mrs. Ma were speechless after their son's words. Ma Zhenghong explained helplessly, "It's not that we don't support you, it's just that our family has never been involved in the gaming industry before, and the risks are too great. Besides, you asked for so much start-up capital right away, and you usually seem indifferent to the family company's affairs. How can we trust you to give us our money?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yun merely raised her eyes indifferently, as if it were a very ordinary matter, and she was not surprised at all by their answer.

Actually, Ma Zhenghong and his wife specially invited Jiang Wenxi over not only to express their gratitude.

They had known for a long time that their son and Jiang Wenxi had been getting close recently, and having heard that Jiang Wenxi was the owner of No. 1 Tan Palace and must have an extraordinary background, they had been thinking of bringing the two together.

After all, in their high society circles, marriage is the ultimate way to consolidate family status and expand connections.

If the Ma family could form a marriage alliance with someone like Jiang Wenxi, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous boon for them.

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhenghong and his wife were instantly speechless.

They never expected that their usually unreliable son would be valued so highly by Jiang Wenxi, who was even willing to invest in his project.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenxi was willing to treat Ma Yun as a friend and support his career, which was already a pleasant surprise. Moreover, judging from the value of the two gifts presented today, his own son probably wouldn't even be of interest to them.

Even if they can't become in-laws, having such a capable and loyal friend is not necessarily a bad thing for the Ma family.

Ma Zhenghong suppressed his thoughts and looked at Ma Yun, his tone somewhat serious: "You kid, although you're usually not very reliable, you know all the places to eat, drink, and have fun in Shanghai. Do you hear me? From now on, put in more effort to help Miss Jiang get familiar with the city, and don't neglect her."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat, we're all starving." Liu Wanqing spoke up at the right time to smooth things over. She had been so busy chatting with Jiang Wenxi and looking at the gifts that she had almost forgotten about eating.

Reminded by her, Ma Zhenghong realized his mistake and quickly stood up, gesturing with a smile to Jiang Wenxi: "Right, right, we were so busy talking that we forgot about eating. Miss Jiang, please take a seat!"

The group followed Mr. and Mrs. Ma into the restaurant. An exquisite square dining table was placed in the center of the restaurant, and the table was already filled with various exquisite Western dishes, as well as a bottle of decanted Sassicaia red wine. The dark red wine was gently swirling in the crystal wine glass, exuding a touch of elegance.

Liu Wanqing smiled and said to Jiang Wenxi, "Miss Jiang, these are just some home-style Western dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste. If there's anything you'd like to eat, just let me know and I'll have the kitchen make it."

"Thank you for your trouble, Madam Ma. This is very good." Jiang Wenxi nodded slightly, her tone gentle.
