"This wine can't hurt me, right?"
"It can't. Spiritual Qi is only beneficial to the human body."
Chen Zhao's head hurt a bit, but his mind was very clear.
The sweet and strong wine entered his throat. It was strong but not burning.
The aroma wafted out, leaving a rich aftertaste.
Various scenes flashed through his mind. The blurry memories became clear again.
Chen Zhao's cheeks were actually wet.
Chen Zhao wiped his tears. "Damn, I became so emotional after drinking the wine."
"You have spiritual power, which is good. If a normal person drank it, they'd probably be filled with sadness."
"Are you sure this wine won't kill you?"
"Of course, it's not fake wine."
Chen Zhao looked around. There was a bamboo forest not far away.
He cut down a few bamboo tubes and poured the wine inside.
"What are you doing?"
"To see if there's a market."
"What do you mean?"
"Selling wine. Money's tight lately and you're spending so much. I have to make ends meet."
"How much can this wine sell for?" Old Turtle was interested too.
"I don't know," Chen Zhao said. "I'll make it look good first and then find some rich people to taste it."
"There's purple bamboo in the depths of the bamboo forest. It'll look better with those bamboos," Old Turtle said.
"Purple bamboo? Just from the name alone, it seems very difficult to grow. "
"It grows once every hundred years, but time flows differently inside and outside. As long as you don't cut them all at once and cut one or two each time, it'll be fine," Old Turtle said.
The two busied themselves for a while. The purple bamboo was very tough.
Chen Zhao tried to break it with his hands but it was unharmed. In the end, he could only use his bronze sword to cut it with magic.
"Give it a name," Chen Zhao said.
Old Turtle was uncultured. He thought for a long time.
All the names he thought of were celestial wine or godly wine.
Chen Zhao was speechless. It was scary to be uncultured.
"Let's call it Purple Brew."
"What's good about the name? What's bad about Old Turtle's godly wine? "
"Okay, it's just missing an old turtle."
Chen Zhao got ten bamboo tubes and filled them all with wine.
The vines in his backyard were going to make wine anyway.
If the Purple Brew could be sold for a good price, he would create a sales channel.
This way, he would have another source of income.
Old Turtle reluctantly carved three ancient words on the bamboo tube: Purple Brew.
…
"Oliver, how about having dinner together?"
Halifa frowned. Why was this old thing in the mood to invite her today?
Halifa was furious at the thought of what had happened last time.
He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but the next day, Steven said that he didn't actually have the disease, and that he had deliberately set it up to see his reaction.
Halifa didn't know how Steven had done it. He had even tricked the doctor.
However, with Steven's wealth, it was not entirely impossible.
However, Halifa was still brooding over this matter.
Even if she didn't want Steven dead.
But seeing Steven living so casually, she was even more annoyed.
"I don't have time." Halifa hesitated for three seconds before rejecting him.
"I've been in a bad mood recently. I want to die," Steven said in a low voice.
"You old bastard, are you trying to trick me again?"
"No, I'm serious. Work has been bothering me."
Even though Halifa knew that Steven wouldn't really die, she was still worried.
But she was still worried. She knew that Steven was a despicable old bastard.
"Where are you right now?"
"At home," Steven said.
"Wait for me." Halifa sighed.
This old bastard was indeed her nemesis.
After hanging up, Halifa said to the driver, "I'm not going to the company …"
When Halifa arrived at Steven's house, she saw Steven lying beside the pool with his shirt off.
"Old bastard." Halifa Oliver entered the villa.
"Hi, Oliver, you're here."
"You don't look like you're going to die."
"I said I want to die, but I didn't say I'm going to die," Steven said matter-of-factly. "Sit down and have a drink. We haven't had a drink together in a long time."
Halifa looked at Steven. He seemed to have drunk a lot. He reeked of alcohol.
Steven would never drink alone. Whenever something unpleasant happened, he would find someone to drink with.
When they were together, Steven would find her to drink with.
Later, they divorced, and Steven went drinking with his scoundrel friends.
As expected, he still had something on his mind.
That was why he'd called her over and asked her to drink with him.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the door.
"Why can't I go in?"
"You can't go in just because you can't."
"Why do you have to stop me?"
Ahh —
Two screams came from outside. Hearing the noise, Halifa and Steven stood up and went to the door.
Then they saw Chen Zhao standing there with two bodyguards lying on the ground.
"Uh … Would you believe me if I said that they attacked first?"
"Chen, why are you here?" Steven looked at Chen Zhao in surprise.
Halifa looked at her bodyguard lying on the ground with an ugly expression on her face.
"You did it?"
"Oliver, Chen is my friend." Steven was worried that Halifa would do something to Chen Zhao.
He knew how powerful Halifa Oliver was.
"Do you have a guest?" Chen Zhao glanced at Halifa and then said to Steven, "I'm here to give you some wine. I brewed it myself. You can try it."
Steven looked at the bamboo tube in Chen Zhao's hand. There was a transparent membrane on the surface.
The entire bamboo tube was emitting a dense mist. It didn't look like it was filled with wine, but more like some kind of chemical substance.
"I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye." Chen Zhao handed the Purple Brew to Steven and turned to get in the car.
"Uh …"
"Is this drinkable?" Halifa looked at the bamboo tube in Steven's hand.
Steven didn't think so. Chen Zhao's wine definitely wouldn't be bad.
The moment Steven opened the bamboo tube, an extremely rich aroma gushed out.
Then, the memories of Halifa Oliver flashed in Steven's mind.
Then, Steven started to cry. It was an intense and complicated feeling that kept growing in his heart.
Halifa, who was standing beside Steven, was also crying non-stop.
She thought of how she met Steven, got to know him, fell in love, and finally broke up. All the ups and downs flooded her mind in just a few seconds.
Just then, a bodyguard on the ground suddenly stood up.
