Chapter 87

Lin Xiao's return to the villa was known by Ye Ding and He Pingji the next day, and they all came to visit him one by one.

Without prior arrangement, Ye Ding and He Pingji almost arrived at Lin Xiao's place simultaneously.

Pressing the doorbell, when Lin Xiao saw Ye Ding and He Pingji come together, he still opened the door. No matter what, it was wrong to turn people away.

As soon as Ye Ding came in, he started to complain, "Brother, you've really put me through a lot these past few days. Look, I've lost weight. You, on the other hand, went on a trip. I was miserable, being pestered by a bunch of friends and not knowing where to hide."

"That's good for you; it won't be too easy to get high blood pressure, which is good for your health," Lin Xiao said with a smile, seeing Ye Ding.

"Ah, it was all because of those peaches. In the end, we didn't even eat two from that bag. Your sister-in-law took them away, claiming it was a contribution, and distributed them to the family," Ye Ding said with a feigned expression, gritting his teeth.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even met your sister-in-law yet," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Really, next time I'll introduce you to her," Ye Ding said, his face showing affection when he mentioned his wife.

"Sure, let's make it a deal," Lin Xiao said with a smile, feeling very relaxed after returning home.

"Do you still have any peaches?" He Pingji suddenly interjected.

Lin Xiao looked at He Pingji, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Brother He, if I still had them, would I have run away on a trip? They're really gone." Lin Xiao refused to admit that he still had peaches, or he would have to run away again.

"I was just asking. It wasn't me who insisted, but your sister who made me ask. I had no choice," He Pingji immediately shifted the blame to Wu Zuoli, who wasn't there.

Lin Xiao led He Pingji and Ye Ding to the living room sofa and asked, "What brings you two busy people here today?"

"Well, I mainly came to apologize," Ye Ding said first, feeling very sorry for forcing Lin Xiao to go on a trip to escape.

"I'm in a similar situation, but I have a task. It's up to you, brother, whether you'll help me or not," He Pingji said.

"Oh, what is it?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's still about your sister. She asked me to come over and take away the remaining honey, no matter what," He Pingji said with a bitter smile.

"That's no problem. Since my sister likes it so much, I still have less than half a pound left. I've only had it a few times. I'll let Brother He take it when he leaves," Lin Xiao replied.

Hearing Lin Xiao's answer, He Pingji's face showed delight, and he said, "Thanks, brother."

"By the way, I have some cigarettes and alcohol in my car that Old Chen asked me to bring. He said you always go to great lengths for him, so he sent these as a token of appreciation. Old Chen also said the peaches were very good, with the taste of his hometown, and he really liked them," Ye Ding suddenly remembered and said to Lin Xiao.

"Heh, Old Chen is too kind," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

A week passed, and the commotion caused by the peaches gradually subsided, but the delicious taste remained in the minds of everyone who had tasted them.

It's funny, but the bag of peaches that Dazhuang brought home was never eaten. It was left at home until Ye Ding heard about it from somewhere and bought the bag at a high price, distributing it to some close friends, which finally calmed the situation.

As for Huang Tao, his peaches were long gone. After eating the first one, he was so attracted by the delicious taste that he ate three more in a row, almost ending up in the hospital. He lay in bed for a day to digest them.

When Ye Ding arrived, Huang Tao had already finished all the peaches, patting his stomach with a satisfied look, savoring the taste.

He Pingji was better off, but most of the two bags of peaches ended up in Wu Zuoli's stomach, and He Pingji only got a few.

But once someone had tasted the peaches, they couldn't forget the taste. When eating them, everyone was transported to the most beautiful moment, recalling their happiest times. This was the main reason why the peaches were so sought after.

...

Lin Xiao was considering something, pondering for a long time, unsure if the time was right.

After some thought, Lin Xiao asked tentatively, "Brother Ye, if something rather extraordinary appeared, do you think people would believe it?"

"How extraordinary? That depends on the extent," Ye Ding said after some thought, not quite sure what Lin Xiao was getting at.

"For example, a fruit that can extend one's life by five years after eating it," Lin Xiao considered, using the Yang fruit as a test.

"Brother, you're not joking, are you?" Ye Ding looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.

"I'm just saying something like that. Do you think people would believe it?" Lin Xiao said uncertainly.

"Let me think," Ye Ding said, lowering his head to think on the sofa.

He Pingji, on the side, said, "This is quite difficult. First, if such a thing really exists, there needs to be a clear example to prove it; otherwise, few people would believe it. Second, if such a thing really exists, safety is a concern. Powerful families would be the first to act if they knew about it."

Ye Ding nodded in agreement, being from a prominent family, he knew the ins and outs of family matters. His agreement with He Pingji indicated that it could really happen.

"However, there is another possibility. We could organize a small, informal auction. I, He Pingji, and your boss could send out invitations, but only to friends. This way, the risk of leaks is minimal, and even if they don't believe it, they might still try to buy it. Once they test it and find it effective, they'll become repeat customers," Ye Ding said after much consideration, answering Lin Xiao.

Ye Ding and He Pingji didn't know why Lin Xiao suddenly had such thoughts and questions. Could it be that what Lin Xiao mentioned really exists, or was it just an example? Ye Ding thought.

Ye Ding didn't raise these questions, just thinking to himself. Everyone has secrets, and since Lin Xiao didn't bring it up, it was best not to ask.

Lin Xiao was also testing the waters. But hearing Ye Ding's words, perhaps he could make it happen.

His mind was a whirl of thoughts, and after a moment of silence, Lin Xiao said, "Actually, I really have such things, including some very extraordinary items. The fruit that can extend life by five years is real."

After much consideration, Lin Xiao decided to reveal some things to lay the groundwork for the future.

"What?" "What?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, He Pingji and Ye Ding stood up instantly, their composure forgotten, and exclaimed in shock.
