Chapter 003 Nine-Turn Spirit Pill
Lin Fan was furious and was about to make a move when he saw the old lady of the Su family, Fang Minjun, slowly walk out of the inner room. At that moment, Su Jianqiang's sleazy demeanor vanished, and he rushed towards Fang Minjun in one stride, saying, "Happy birthday, Grandma!"
"Good grandson." The old lady's brows relaxed, and she nodded and smiled.
Lin Fan clenched his fists, thinking to himself: "Luckily, the old lady came out in time, otherwise she would have punched him. If she had hit Su Jianqiang, it would have made things difficult for Su Ruowei."
"Grandma, this is a gift for you." Su Jianqiang said with a smile as he took out a gift box from his pocket. Inside was an exquisite necklace.
"Tears of an Angel?" All the relatives and friends craned their necks to look at the necklace that shimmered with blue light in Su Jianqiang's hand. The old lady couldn't stop smiling when she saw the gift.
"Grandma, let me put it on you!" Su Jianqiang went around behind the old lady and carefully put the necklace on Fang Minjun's neck. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "This necklace is worth 880,000 yuan. I bought it for you from abroad."
The young women of the Su family all looked on with envy, and even Su Ruowei was very tempted. After all, there were only 100 pieces of the 'Angel's Tear' necklace in the world, and it was not something that money could buy.
Su Jianqiang walked up to Lin Fan and deliberately said, "Still being arrogant? This necklace is worth ten years' salary for you, isn't it?"
"Heh." Lin Fan sneered, glancing at Su Ruowei, remembering her earlier warning not to speak carelessly.
Seeing that Lin Fan did not refute, Su Jianqiang revealed a sly smile, "I almost forgot, where does a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law get his salary?"
This remark caused a burst of laughter in the living room. Su Zhengwu and Shen Yunlan also lost face, after all, they were in the old lady's house, and mocking Lin Fan was no different from mocking them.
After venting his anger on Lin Fan, Su Jianqiang walked over to Su Ruowei and asked in a teasing tone, "Ruowei, isn't Angel's Tears pretty?"
"Whether the gift you gave Grandma is good or not is up to her to decide, it has nothing to do with me." Su Ruowei continued with a displeased expression, "Whether Lin Fan goes to work or not is my family's business, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Lin Fan looked at Su Ruowei in surprise, not expecting that Su Ruowei would treat him like family.
"None of my business? Ruowei, I am the eldest grandson of the Su family. Lin Fan is eating the Su family's food for free. How can it be none of my business? He is ignorant and doesn't go to work, fine, but why are you ignorant too? Don't you consider yourself a member of the Su family?" Su Jianqiang sneered. He was always vengeful.
Su Ruowei was speechless after being rebuked. Although she didn't have much status in the Su family, she still lived off the Su family's business.
Seeing Su Ruowei's dilemma, Lin Fan could no longer hold back and walked up to Su Jianqiang, saying, "You keep saying you're a member of the Su family, yet you give Grandma a fake necklace on her birthday?"
"Nonsense!" Su Jianqiang shouted, his face turning red.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Do you know why Angel's Tears is so precious? It's because it's completely free of impurities. The necklace you gave Grandma has a black spot in it. Although it's hard to spot, it definitely won't escape the eyes of an expert!"
"You know perfectly well that Grandma often attends high-end banquets, where there are bound to be people who are experts in jewelry. Do you really want to embarrass the old lady?"
Lin Fan's remarks silenced the entire living room.
"You don't know anything! What nonsense are you spouting? You're a piece of trash who can't even afford a regular diamond ring!" Su Jianqiang hurriedly retorted, his flustered appearance making him seem even more suspicious.
"I don't know if I'm useless or not, but you're a real liar. If you're truly upright, why don't you show everyone the necklace?" Lin Fan said calmly.
Su Jianqiang was in a dilemma because the 'Tears of an Angel' he had given was indeed a high-quality fake. He thought he could fool everyone by using a fake, but Lin Fan exposed it in front of everyone.
"You piece of trash! You're spouting nonsense, saying I gave you fake goods. Then what did you give Grandma?" Su Jianqiang pretended to be calm, trying to shift the blame to Lin Fan.
"Yes, what did you send this time?"
"He almost fooled me; he said one thing and did another!"
"A son-in-law who moved into the woman's family home is now commenting on jewelry."
The crowd began to stir again, and Su Jianqiang straightened up, waiting to see Lin Fan make a fool of himself.
Lin Fan remained calm and took out a wooden box from the pile of gifts presented by the crowd. The exquisite wooden box attracted the attention of many people, and those who had just mocked Lin Fan shut their mouths.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Su Jianqiang quickly said, "It's just a piece of wood inlaid with gold! If you're so capable, open it up and take a look!"
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and slowly opened the wooden box. Everyone looked and saw a white sphere the size of a ping-pong ball lying inside.
When Su Ruowei saw what was inside, her heart sank. She regretted trusting Lin Fan and regretted not opening it to check.
"Hahaha!" Su Jianqiang laughed loudly, "I thought it was something special. Is the stuff inside as valuable as the packaging?"
Everyone joined Su Jianqiang in mocking Lin Fan. Su Ruowei glared at Lin Fan, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
Lin Fan shook his head repeatedly, helplessly realizing that these mortals were too ignorant to recognize the value of the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill in the Nine Nether Continent. So many people dreamed of it, and so many had lost their lives for it.
With a 'click', Lin Fan turned off the living room lights.
Suddenly, the previously plain white sphere emitted a bright white light, which gradually grew until it illuminated the entire living room. After a moment, Lin Fan turned on the light, and the white sphere's light was gradually overshadowed by the light, returning to its plain and unadorned state.
The entire villa was silent. Everyone was captivated by the extraordinary sight before them, and even the well-informed Fang Minjun didn't know what it was.
Suddenly a voice broke the silence, "A luminous pearl! I know, this is a luminous pearl."
This statement sparked a discussion among the crowd. "I think I've heard of it too, an ancient treasure, a luminous pearl."
"A treasure that has been lost for a long time, I never expected Lin Fan to have it."
Lin Fan smiled helplessly. This was not a luminous pearl at all; the characteristic of the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill was that it glowed in the dark.
Su Jianqiang was also stunned by this strange sight. When he came to his senses, he felt his face burning as if he had been slapped. He knew that even the real 'Tears of an Angel' was not as precious as this luminous pearl, let alone a fake.
"Su Jianqiang, isn't it time to check if your necklace is real or fake?" Lin Fan sneered as he walked towards Fang Minjun.
As Lin Fan got closer and closer to Fang Minjun, Su Jianqiang's heart raced with each step. He immediately stepped in front of her, his heart pounding in his throat.
Unexpectedly, Fang Minjun took off the necklace and put it in her pocket. When Lin Fan came over, she didn't forget to take the wooden box from his hand.
"You two juniors are very thoughtful. I've examined this necklace; it's genuine." Fang Minjun's smile vanished, and she instead questioned Lin Fan, "Where did you get this luminous pearl?"
Lin Fan froze for a moment. "I picked it up."
