"It's not me, it's a friend of mine," Lu Yan said directly.
"That won't do." Lu Yan didn't give him face and refused directly.
"Hey, why are you so unreasonable? We've been friends for so many years, but you think a glass of wine is worth more than our friendship?" Lu Yan pouted.
Qiao Fei looked at her with a complicated expression. "Yan, let me put it this way. If you were the one who got poisoned today, I'd get you a glass of wine even if I had to betray my family and go against my family. But other than you, I wouldn't touch the tiger bone wine."
"You're so stingy …" Lu Yan pretended to be angry. She turned her head and crossed her arms over her chest.
Seeing Lu Yan angry, Qiao Fei's heart ached.
He turned her over and patiently explained, "Little Yan, you're the most well-informed. You should know that the Siberian tiger is extinct here. It's a rare animal, so it's impossible for anyone in the world to recreate tiger bone wine."
"But your Qiao Family has some in stock," Lu Yan retorted.
Qiao Fei nodded. "Our Qiao Family has some in stock, but we've used a lot over the years. In the past, I could still drink a little during the Qing Festival, but now my father has made a rule that even the men in the Qiao Family can only drink it once every three years. Usually, it's kept in our family's secret room, guarded by guards. Only my father can enter the secret room."
"It's just some lousy wine. Do you have to go through so much trouble?"
"That's because the tiger bone wine can cure 36 deadly poisons. It can also improve blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and prolong life. It even has the effect of curing early-stage cancer cells. Over the years, my father has only given one glass of wine to an outsider, and that outsider was the former president of Russia. So … Yan, how do you think I can give such an important thing to your friend? Give me a reason … "
Qiao Fei explained patiently, afraid that Lu Yan would be angry.
With Lu Yan's short temper, once she got angry, she would fly away.
Wouldn't that be a loss? She had just arrived and hadn't even warmed up her seat.
Hearing this, Lu Yan took out a check from her bag and waved it elegantly.
"This is one billion yuan from an international bank. You can withdraw it at any time. Can I use one billion yuan to buy a cup from your Qiao family?"
Qiao Fei smiled bitterly. "If we could sell it, we would have run out of stock a long time ago. You know, two years ago, a prince from a rich country in the Middle East was seriously ill and needed tiger bone wine to prolong his life. His father offered 10 billion US dollars."
Lu Yan was slightly surprised. It turned out that someone was really generous. How much was ten billion dollars? That's more than 60 billion RMB?
"But my father refused. Later, they sent mercenaries into the country to steal it. We even had a fierce battle. From then on, our families became enemies … If it were you, you might say, isn't it just a glass of wine? Just sell it to him. But there are so many people in the world. If you buy it and he buys it, how much will we have left in the end? What will we do when our families need it? Waiting for death? "
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan fell silent …
What he said made sense, and Lu Yan understood it too well.
In the face of life and death and health, money was nothing but a pile of white paper.
"But, Fei … I really want a glass of wine. I want to help my friend." Lu Yan leaned on his shoulder. This time, she wasn't seducing him. She truly felt that Qiao Fei was in a difficult position. However, she didn't want to come here empty-handed.
Thinking of the man who couldn't speak, Lu Yan still hoped that she could cure him and see him speak.
