Xia Wei Liang heard this and realized this ginseng was not that ginseng!
Wow, another piece of strange knowledge gained!
As soon as Lin Sui Xiang finished speaking, the surrounding guests also gathered around, all wanting to see this true "King of Divine Herbs."
Those who could attend Master Six's banquet were no ordinary people. While gifts might differ in value, no one dared to present a fake, unless they no longer wished to be part of this circle.
Lin Sui Xiang maintained a composed demeanor. Attracting so much attention also helped her get recognized.
She cast a seemingly casual glance at Xia Wei Liang, a hint of smugness on her lips. What good was being a granddaughter? She wasn't a biological one! Master Six could favor her today, but tomorrow he might favor someone else.
Envy wasn't the reaction Xia Wei Liang had. Instead, she took out her phone, preparing to take a photo with this King of Divine Herbs, a witness to a miracle in the ginseng world.
"The King of Divine Herbs, unlike the King Ginseng, is said to have the effect of 'reviving the dying.' Although it's just a legend, it's no exaggeration to say that as long as there's still a breath left, it can save a life."
Her words caused another stir among the crowd.
The wealthy cherished their lives even more than ordinary people. With wealth and ability, they didn't have to worry about daily survival. Their free time was spent pondering how to extend their lifespan.
They had consumed countless fine things, but a specimen of this caliber was truly a rare find.
Master Six indeed looked upon this ginseng with special favor. "Good, Miss Lin is thoughtful." He then turned and ordered it to be collected.
Lin Sui Xiang replied sweetly, "As long as Master Six likes it."
Lin Guan Yan, standing nearby, couldn't help but smile proudly.
At this point, Lin Sui Xiang added, "Master Six may not know, but Miss Xia and I already know each other. It's quite a coincidence to meet here today."
"Oh, really?"
Master Six was also surprised and turned to Xia Wei Liang, "Liang, you know Miss Lin?"
Xia Wei Liang nodded, adding with a smile, "Not well."
Lin Sui Xiang didn't seem bothered, her smile remaining as warm as a spring breeze. "Didn't Miss Xia just say that the gift you prepared for Master Six would shock everyone, a huge surprise! It was only to avoid stealing Miss Xia's thunder that I presented my gift first, making everyone laugh."
This excuse was reasonable. Guests' birthday gifts were sent to the host in advance. For a rare item like Lin Sui Xiang's to be presented publicly, wanting to steal the spotlight was understandable. After all, if she hadn't specifically mentioned it, no one would have paid much attention, and this King of Divine Herbs might have been buried among a pile of gifts, its fate uncertain, a true waste.
Hearing her say this, the curious onlookers quietly shifted their gaze.
They were already curious about this granddaughter Master Six had suddenly acknowledged, only knowing she was a celebrity with considerable national fame.
Xia Wei Liang glanced at Lin Sui Xiang, not at all surprised by her sudden mention of her.
Frankly, it would be strange if she didn't stir up some trouble.
But as for the gift...
In the presence of this ancestor of ginseng, whatever she sent would likely be overshadowed.
Fine, that was ruthless.
Master Six looked at Xia Wei Liang. He intended to protect her.
He had invited her purely because he found her appealing, so why would he put her in a difficult position?
So, he said with a smile, "Whatever Little Liang gives, Grandpa will like it."
This was his way of giving her an out.
But the more he did this, the more it put her on the spot!
Master Six valued her so highly, she should have prepared a more dedicated birthday gift. But thinking of her own gift...
At that moment, Xiao Yi walked over and smiled slightly at her, "Wei Liang, the thought behind it is what matters."
Xia Wei Liang looked at him and suddenly smiled too.
Yes, they came prepared. Why should she compete with her?
Let alone herself, who among those present could outdo that ginseng ancestor?
Why bother with such calculations? Having lived two lives, failing to grasp such a simple truth was truly embarrassing!
"Mhm."
She smiled and raised her hand, intending to unfasten something wrapped around her wrist.
But as soon as she touched it, her expression changed!
Damn it!
No way?!
Seeing her expression change, Xiao Yi leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Wei Liang didn't dare to lift her hand, clutching her wrist tightly, her eyes wide as she looked at him, conveying with her gaze: It's over, I brought the wrong gift!
Realizing that something had gone wrong, Xiao Yi looked at her calmly, signaling her not to panic.
Actually, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but so many people were watching, especially since Lin Sui Xiang was showering her with effusive praise.
She said Xia Wei Liang was the hottest female celebrity in the fishing industry, that many seniors with more experience would give her respect, that she was a sought-after regular on many variety shows, and that calling her the most beautiful female comedian wouldn't be an exaggeration!
She then talked about how popular the movie starring her was, it was a New Year's release by a famous director, and then she collaborated with a TV emperor, blah blah blah...
Xia Wei Liang really wanted to stuff two heads of pickled garlic into her mouth. Was she the only one who could talk so much?!
Master Six also noticed something was amiss with Xia Wei Liang. He was about to step in to smooth things over, but then Xia Wei Liang gasped, and her hand shot up as if she had been electrocuted—
