Ye Chen impressed everyone with his incredible knife skills and culinary abilities, transforming a simple melon into a dish that not only tasted exquisite but also miraculously cured various ailments and revitalized the guests. Despite the intense interest and offers to buy the remaining melon, Ye Chen declared it a gift for Grandpa Su and not for sale.

Originally, these people wanted to buy this magical fruit, even thinking that no matter how much it cost, they would buy it.

For those in the banquet hall, health is more important than money, which to them is just a number.

No matter how much they earn, only if they have life can they spend it.

It was already mentioned that the vast majority of those attending the birthday banquet are quite prestigious and influential, having tirelessly pursued money, fame, and status when they were young, severely exhausting their bodies, even coming down with many illnesses.

If they could regularly consume the fruit Ye Chen brought, their health would gradually recover, and with a strong physique, what else would there be to worry about?

The fruit Ye Chen brought does indeed have this effect, but he would never sell it, and what’s more, Ye Chen never thought of using it to make money.

"Young man, I’ll offer a hundred thousand for a small piece."

"I’ll offer ten million for a piece."

"I’ll offer a hundred million for the remaining half of the fruit."

Suddenly, the successful individuals present started bidding for this magical fruit.

It was as if the scene had turned into an auction, with bids echoing one after another.

Some even speculated that Ye Chen definitely wouldn’t refuse, and could make a fortune tonight.

Someone had just heard that Ye Chen works as a delivery rider, and Ye Chen himself had already admitted it, wondering how much a delivery rider could earn.

Just by selling this fruit, he could live worry-free for the rest of his life, without having to do anything.

"This guy, really stepped into luck."

"Making money seems way too easy for him."

"He’s so enviable, just a piece of fruit can bring in so much."

The crowd also cast envious glances at Ye Chen, even imagining themselves becoming wealthy overnight like Ye Chen.

Zhou Jun was extremely regretful too; if not for him, no one would have paid a high price for Ye Chen’s fruit.

It was his own fault after all, giving Ye Chen the space to exhibit, and thus the opportunity to become rich.

To contest with a delivery rider for a woman is seeking death, yet due to him, Ye Chen will become a tycoon today, no longer the despised delivery rider.

In front of Ye Chen, he would have no advantage; originally Su Wanyi liked Ye Chen, now it’s even less likely she’ll give Zhou Jun a second look.

It seems in the challenge between them, he is utterly defeated.

Just when everyone thought Ye Chen was having good luck, Ye Chen calmly said, "Thank you all for your generosity, but I said this is a birthday gift for Grandpa Su, no matter how much you offer, I won’t sell it."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the room was once again filled with discussion.

"Is this guy crazy, not wanting money?"

"Yes, missing such a great opportunity is truly a pity."

"If it were me, I would definitely seize it."

Ye Chen’s response shocked everyone again.

Elder Su walking over could not help but nod, this young man is indeed extraordinary.

If it were someone else, they would definitely sell this fruit, but Ye Chen chose to refuse.

Unmoved by money, this is not something an ordinary person can do, Ye Chen indeed has exceptional qualities.

Elder Su has a keen eye; when he first saw Ye Chen, he felt this young man possessed something special.

Actually, when he said he wanted to rest, it was to test Ye Chen, to see if he had filial piety.

It’s unlikely for kids at this age to consider others’ feelings, yet Ye Chen surprisingly chose to accompany this old man, which deeply touched Elder Su.

"Grandpa."

"Dad, why did you come out?"

Father Su and Su Wanyi spoke.

"I was lying inside, hearing things getting suddenly lively outside, so I came to see what’s happening?" Elder Su spoke.

Before anyone could answer, Ye Chen opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you."

Elder Su looked at the fruit in Ye Chen’s hands and said with a smile, "Child, you are very thoughtful, I really like your birthday gift."

Ye Chen knew Elder Su was a very kind elderly man, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so happy at seeing half a fruit.

"Dad, don’t be fooled by how ordinary this fruit looks, it has very magical effects." Father Su hurriedly explained.

But Elder Su waved his hand to stop him, saying, "As long as it’s from Little Chen, I like it."

Ye Chen greatly admired such an elder; such a person indeed qualifies as a king in Modu.

However, what Elder Su didn’t know was that Ye Chen’s fruit indeed had marvelous effects.

"Grandpa, sorry, I just gave half the fruit to everyone else, so only this half is left." Ye Chen explained.

"No problem, no problem, it’s your sincerity that matters." Elder Su waved his hand and said.

Those who bid high prices for the fruit realized Ye Chen had already given away the remaining half, and knew there was no hope.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my birthday banquet despite your busy schedules, I hope everyone has a good time today." Elder Su said with a smile.

He didn’t use any formal tone, just very personable words that made everyone feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, for some reason, Elder Su’s face, which was just smiling, switched to a very unpleasant expression, and he held his chest.

"Dad, what’s wrong?"

"Grandpa, what’s wrong?"

The anxious voices of Father Su and Su Wanyi sounded in the banquet hall, startling the crowd, making them too afraid to move and turning tense.

"Quickly, call an ambulance." Father Su shouted to his wife.

At this moment, his hand was still supporting Elder Su, afraid to move away, knowing his father had heart disease, being eighty years old, surely having various conditions.

Su Wanyi, seeing what was happening before her eyes, became anxious with tears streaming.

Mrs. Su froze on the spot, unsure what to do, not even hearing her husband’s words to her.

Seeing Elder Su having a heart attack, the scene was in chaos.

"What should we do?"

"What’s happening to Elder Su?"

"He’s getting older, his body clearly isn’t like before."

Ye Chen knew this chaotic environment wasn’t good for Elder Su’s condition, and he shouted, "Please keep quiet, heart disease patients are most afraid of disturbance."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the banquet hall immediately quieted down, no one dared to say a word.

These people were all closely connected to the Su Family, naturally wishing Elder Su wouldn’t have any issues, all silently praying for the elder.

Ye Chen, after calming everyone’s emotions, cut a small piece of fruit with a knife and fed it into Elder Su’s mouth.

Father Su wanted to stop him, but Su Wanyi signaled her father not to interfere.
