Chapter: 3052
Lin Wanqiu was recovering quickly, getting back to how she looked a few years ago, and it filled her heart with shock. Gu Yanzhong, Gu Qiuyi, and his daughter were closely watching her transformation. They didn’t yet understand the full extent of the changes happening in her body, but they could see that Lin Wanqiu’s complexion was brightening.
The most surprising change was that the small crow’s feet around her eyes were disappearing fast, and the lines around her mouth were fading too. She suddenly looked several years younger. Overwhelmed with joy, Gu Qiuyi rushed to hug her mother, tears in her eyes. “Mom… you look so young!” she exclaimed.
Gu Yanzhong couldn’t hold back his amazement, saying, “Wanqiu, you really look much younger!”
Lin Wanqiu turned to look at her reflection in the coated glass in the box. The light made her look even more radiant, and she was speechless. Tears began to fill her eyes, blurring her reflection.
Seeing this, Gu Yanzhong quickly stepped forward and gently hugged her. Lin Wanqiu leaned onto his shoulder and quietly sobbed.
“Look at you! You’re suddenly so young, something many women can only dream of. Why are you crying?” Gu Yanzhong asked gently.
With emotion, Lin Wanqiu replied, “I’m just so excited… I can’t tell if this is real or a dream. I’ve never had such a beautiful dream before. Old Gu, please tell me, is this real or just a dream?”
Gu Yanzhong smiled warmly and said, “This is definitely real. Don’t you remember how Chen’er cured me? The best cancer experts said I wouldn’t survive. I even made plans for my last days. But look at me now, I’m here…”
“I am completely healed now, and my body feels better than it ever has!” Lin Wanqiu exclaimed. “This is all true, and it’s all thanks to Chen’er!”
Lin Wanqiu nodded, holding back tears as she looked at Charlie Wade. “Chen’er, I really don’t know how to thank you…”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Auntie Lin, the best way to thank me is to live a long life.”
This made Lin Wanqiu feel very touched. She wiped her tears and nodded earnestly, saying, “Yes… I want to live to be a hundred! With such a good child like you and my daughter, Uncle Gu and I will do our best to live longer. Every day is precious…”
At that moment, Charlie urged, “Uncle Gu, please drink the rest of your glass!”
Gu Yanzhong snapped back to reality but hesitated. The power of the water made him nervous. He felt his family owed Charlie too much and said, “Chen’er, maybe I shouldn’t drink it. I’ve already taken a rejuvenating pill before, so it seems wasteful to take more.”
Charlie playfully slapped his face and said seriously, “Uncle Gu, if you don’t drink it, I’ll have to throw it away.”
He picked up one of the cups and pretended to pour it out.
Gu Yanzhong was startled and quickly protested, “Don’t drop it! Please, don’t waste it!”
Lin Wanqiu noticed that being too polite might make Charlie feel uncomfortable, so she gently touched Gu Yanzhong’s hand and said, “Old Gu, this is Chen’er’s kindness to us. Don’t make excuses.”
“Don’t worry about it. We’re all family here. Let’s not make Chen’er feel like we’re too distant,” someone said reassuringly.
Gu Yanzhong nodded slightly and replied quietly, “You’re right. I understand…”
Feeling a wave of determination, Gu Yanzhong quickly grabbed the water glass and, with newfound courage, took a drink!
