Inside the box was a lifelike jade leaf.
Xia Ruofei had specially bought a piece of good quality jade a few days ago and spent a whole day in the Ring-Tu space to personally carve it.
Although the quality of the jade was very high, it was only worth a few hundred thousand yuan. It was not enough to make Ma Xiong and the others lose their composure.
At Ma Xiong's level, or even Xia Ruofei's net worth, a few hundred thousand yuan was nothing.
What really amazed Ma Xiong and the others was the carving skill of the jade leaf.
The Ma Family was a real rich family, and the Hengfeng Group itself was engaged in the jewelry business. Therefore, whether it was Ma Xiong, Ma Zhiming and his wife, their vision was naturally quite good.
With a single glance, they could tell that this lifelike emerald green jade leaf was not ordinary. The entire leaf seemed to be formed by nature, and its entire body exuded a natural charm. There was not a trace of carving on it, as if it was born like this.
Looking at it carefully, every curve of the leaf, every subtle vein, seemed to be fused with the truth of heaven and earth. Ma Xiong and the others could feel that if there was even a slight deviation, the jade leaf would completely lose its charm.
This was clearly a superb carving skill, even at the realm of the unity of heaven and man!
The Hengfeng Group's main business in the early days was the jewelry industry. The company also supported many carving masters all year round, many of whom were very famous in the industry.
But even if these jade carving masters were to work, none of them could carve the jade leaf to such a degree of naturalness.
The value of the jade itself might only be a few hundred thousand yuan.
But after such a carving, the value would at least rise by dozens or even hundreds of times.
The most important thing was that this jade leaf was similar to the best quality abalone. It might not be able to be bought even if you had money.
After all, a carving master of this realm would not casually make a move. This kind of pinnacle work could not be completely measured by money.
Therefore, Ma Xiong and the others immediately realized the preciousness of this jade leaf.
Tian Huixin was the first to react. She quickly said, "Ruofei, your gift is too valuable. We can't accept it."
Ma Zhiming also came to his senses and immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes. Xia Sheng, how can you give such a treasure to a child?"
When Huanhuan saw the jade leaf, her eyes immediately revealed an incomparable fondness. This was a gift from Big Brother Ruofei! Moreover, this jade leaf was incomparably pure, revealing a natural charm. Although the child did not understand, he subconsciously felt very close to it.
When she heard that her parents had rejected Xia Ruofei's gift, Huanhuan's little mouth immediately pouted. However, she was still very sensible and didn't cry. She just held the box tightly with a strong reluctance.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, Aunt Huixin, this is a gift from me to Huanhuan, not to you. It's not good for you to reject it on behalf of your child, right? Look at how much Huanhuan likes this gift! "
Ma Xiong cleared his throat and said, "Xia Sheng, the child is still insensible. This jade leaf of yours can be called a peerless treasure. We really can't accept it!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, this is a gift from me to Huanhuan. Jade has a price, but feelings are priceless. Huanhuan and I hit it off very well. Please don't reject it …"
"This …" Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin looked at each other.
Xia Ruofei continued, "Mr. Ma, I treat you as my own people. Huanhuan is like my sister. It's just a small gift. You don't have to be so polite, right?"
Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin were still hesitating. Ma Xiong was, after all, a formidable figure in the business world. His courage and decisiveness were very strong. Seeing that Xia Ruofei had said so, he only pondered for a moment before saying, "Zhiming, Huixin, since Xia Sheng has said so, then let's accept it!"
Ma Zhiming could only nod and say, "Thank you, Xia Sheng!"
Ma Xiong looked deeply at Xia Ruofei and said, "Xia Sheng, I won't say anything more. You have done a great favor for our Ma family. We are all family. There's no need to be so polite!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Tian Huixin quickly said, "Huanhuan, why don't you thank Brother Ruofei?"
Huanhuan saw that the adults had finally let her accept the gift. She was already overjoyed. Hearing this, she immediately said sweetly to Xia Ruofei, "Thank you, Brother Ruofei!"
Then she leaned over and kissed Xia Ruofei on the cheek with her sweet little mouth.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh happily.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You're welcome, Huanhuan. Brother will help you put on this jade leaf, okay?"
"Yes!" Huanhuan nodded heavily.
A red string had been strung on the jade leaf in advance. Xia Ruofei picked up the two ends of the string and said to the Ma family, "This jade leaf must be worn by Huanhuan. Do not take it off under any circumstances."
Although Ma Xiong and the others felt that it was not safe to hang such a precious jade leaf on a child, it was originally a gift from Xia Ruofei. Moreover, the Ma family was also a rich and powerful family. They had bodyguards to escort them in and out. Their home was also heavily guarded. Even if Huanhuan wore the jade leaf, it would not be a big problem.
So when they saw Xia Ruofei so solemnly instructing, they immediately nodded and agreed.
Xia Ruofei smiled and picked up the jade leaf. He wrapped it around Huanhuan's neck and then carefully fastened the lock on the back.
No one noticed that when the jade leaf touched Huanhuan's skin, an undetectable red light burst out from Huanhuan's body and quickly disappeared into the jade leaf.
Huanhuan was immersed in the joy of receiving a gift. She felt as if she had been stung by an ant and didn't care at all.
Then she felt that she was even closer to the jade leaf, as if they were connected by flesh and blood.
The child didn't understand so much. She felt that this was a gift from Brother Ruofei, so it was normal for her to like and be so close to the jade leaf.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had just used his mental strength to wrap a wisp of vital energy and lightly pricked Huanhuan's body. Then, he brought out a drop of blood and threw it into the jade leaf.
With Xia Ruofei's cultivation, there was naturally no one present who could discover him.
In fact, the Ma family didn't know that the most precious part of the jade leaf was not the carving skill.
Although Xia Ruofei had used his super strong mental strength and a cultivator's understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, to carve the jade leaf, the most precious part of the jade leaf was that Xia Ruofei had spent a lot of effort using his mental strength to carve the runes inside.
With a high-quality jade material as a carrier and Huanhuan's blood just now, it was no exaggeration to say that the jade leaf was equivalent to Huanhuan's second life.
Whether it was various accidents in life, such as unpredictable car accidents, falling from high places, premeditated injuries, or even gun attacks, the protective runes contained in the jade leaf could save Huanhuan's life.
If those super-rich people knew that there was such a magical protective talisman, they would definitely fight to buy it even if they had to spend hundreds of millions of yuan.
The richer people were, the more they cherished their lives. If they worked hard for most of their lives to earn hundreds of millions, everything would be for naught once they died.
Of course, Ma Xiong and the others naturally couldn't see the magic of the jade leaf, and Xia Ruofei wouldn't deliberately say it.
He just felt that he and Huanhuan hit it off, and he didn't want to use such a valuable gift to win the favor of the Ma family.
After hanging the beautiful jade leaf for Huanhuan, Xia Ruofei gently scratched Huanhuan's nose and said, "Huanhuan, Big Brother Ruofei gave you a gift. No matter what, you can't take it off, and you can't lose it, okay?"
Huanhuan nodded very seriously and said, "Yes! Big Brother Ruofei! I'll be very careful! "
Xia Ruofei nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ma Zhiming and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, I've prepared gifts for Old Mr. Ma, Aunt Huixin, and little Huanhuan, but I really can't think of what to give you …"
Ma Zhiming quickly said, "Xia Sheng, no need, no need … You're already too polite …"
Xia Ruofei was only explaining half-jokingly, but after he glanced at Ma Zhiming, a trace of undetectable surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but take another look.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, I do have a gift for you, but not now …"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei looked at Tian Huixin with a slightly strange expression, but he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Ma Zhiming said, "There's really no need, Xia Sheng."
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "You'll definitely like this gift! Mr. Ma, how about this … After the auction tomorrow, come to my room alone and find me. "
Ma Zhiming still wanted to refuse, but Ma Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhiming, Xia Sheng's instructions must be reasonable. You must remember to visit Xia Sheng tomorrow!"
Ma Xiong was old and shrewd. He noticed a trace of strangeness from Xia Ruofei's expression, and then associated it with Xia Ruofei's magical medical skills. He immediately suspected that there was something wrong with his son's body that he didn't know, but had been diagnosed by Xia Ruofei, so he didn't dare to neglect and quickly instructed Ma Zhiming.
In fact, Ma Xiong guessed more than half of it right, but not all of it.
Although Ma Zhiming's situation was a bit tricky, it wasn't a fatal problem.
If it was Xia Ruofei, who relied on the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower to conquer the world, naturally, it would be impossible for him to find any clues, but ever since he absorbed the massive amount of information in the jade talisman, he would digest and absorb it as long as he had free time.
The knowledge in the jade talisman had already been imprinted in his mind, so the learning efficiency was naturally extremely high.
So now Xia Ruofei's medical skills could be considered to have reached a higher level, and it wasn't inferior to an ordinary Chinese medicine master.
If it was supplemented with the help of mental strength, it could be said to be superb in terms of diagnosis.
He seemed to have glanced at Ma Zhiming, but in fact, it was the "look" in Chinese medicine's "look, listen, question, and feel". This word sounded simple, but in fact, it was broad and profound. A truly experienced Chinese medicine master could make a rough judgment of the patient's condition just by simply observing the patient's color, the condition of the tongue, and so on.
When Xia Ruofei looked at Ma Zhiming for the second time, he secretly used his mental strength, so naturally, it was accurate.
Of course, Ma Zhiming's problem wasn't life-threatening, so Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry. He simply decided to help him solve it after the auction.
Ma Zhiming was a well-known filial son, and he never dared to disobey his father's words, so he immediately said, "I understand, Daddy!"
While everyone was chatting, Jiahua Restaurant was also stepping up its preparation and soon began to serve the dishes.
Ma Xiong naturally used a very high standard to entertain Xia Ruofei.
Many of the ingredients were expensive Taoyuan vegetables, and there were also many high-quality ingredients flown in from abroad. The craftsmanship of the Michelin-starred chef was impeccable, so Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing were full of praise for the taste of the dinner dishes.
It was the first time that Xia Ruofei tasted the Taoyuan vegetables cooked by the Michelin-starred chef. The feeling was indeed different. He should be the person who ate the Taoyuan vegetables the most, but he was still impressed by those dishes.
The color, fragrance, and taste were impeccable, and the appearance of the Taoyuan vegetables was retained to the greatest extent. The freshest and most tender taste of the vegetables was also played to the fullest.
The same ingredients were different when cooked by a brilliant chef.
Ma Xiong, who was in a good mood to see an old friend, specially opened a bottle of red wine. This bottle of wine was produced in Bordeaux, France, and the brand was called Tumons. Unlike the Lafite red wine that was often taken out by the nouveau riche in China, Tumons red wine was really low-key luxury. A 700-milliliter bottle of red wine often sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
Ma Xiong's bottle of wine was the best vintage in the history of Tumons — 1987, and the price was even more shocking.
Of course, it was expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for.
The taste of this bottle of red wine was very unique. Even Xia Ruofei, who didn't know much about red wine, couldn't help but praise it.
After the meal, the guests and the host were naturally happy.
After the meal, Huanhuan was still clinging to Xia Ruofei. Tian Huixin tried her best to persuade Xia Ruofei, and Xia Ruofei promised to take her to Disneyland and Sea World after he was done with his work tomorrow. Only then did she say goodbye to Xia Ruofei unhappily and leave the hotel with her parents and grandfather to go home.
Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing naturally returned to the presidential suite.
Feng Jing, who also drank a few glasses of red wine at the banquet, blushed and looked even more delicate. As soon as the two entered the door, they felt an awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.
Before Xia Ruofei could speak, Feng Jing quickly said, "Chairman, I'll go back to my room first. Good night!"
Then she quickly walked back to her room as if she was escaping.
Xia Ruofei's heart was slightly relieved. He wasn't in the mood to enjoy the various luxurious facilities in the presidential suite and the spa on the huge balcony. He went directly to the master bedroom.
After Xia Ruofei returned to his room, he first went to the sauna for a while, then soaked in the huge jacuzzi for a long time. He felt comfortable all over, then got up and put on a bathrobe.
