Chapter 271 The drug's effects kick in, and my father-in-law regains his virility.
After dinner, Su Tianhao almost stumbled back to his study.
"Click".
He locked the heavy rosewood door from the inside.
He rushed to the huge desk, clutching the small white jade porcelain bottle tightly in his hand as if afraid it would be snatched away.
Moonlight streamed through the French windows, illuminating Su Tianhao's handsome face, which showed a constantly shifting expression.
He stared at the pills in his hand, torn between his inner turmoil and his own conscience.
"This kid's acting all mysterious, could he be trying to poison me?"
The idea had barely crossed his mind when he rejected it himself.
Poisoned?
They can casually throw out a billion dollars in cash, plus shares worth who knows how many billions. Why would they need to resort to such underhanded tactics?
"But what if it's just a regular Maltesers coated in gold powder? Then I'd be utterly humiliated today!"
Su Tianhao paced back and forth in the study in agitation. The jade-inlaid walking stick that he treasured was tossed aside, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
He walked to the huge floor-length mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. Although he was well-maintained, fine lines had appeared at the corners of his eyes, and a lingering weariness lingered between his brows.
He recalled the awkwardness of feeling powerless in front of his wife, Jiang Wan, in recent years.
He thought of those famous doctors he had hired at great expense, who prescribed piles of Chinese medicine that made him want to vomit at the mere smell of it, yet were completely useless.
Then think about the strawberry jam that Jiang Chen took out.
He tasted that thing yesterday, and the flavor and texture were simply otherworldly!
Could the medicine a kid who can grow strawberries so miraculously be anything but ordinary?
"Oh shit!"
Su Tianhao gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes.
Fortune favors the bold!
"The bold get rich, the timid starve!"
"At worst, I'll die. I'll fight to the death today!"
He unscrewed the bottle, and that strange, domineering fragrance wafted out again, instantly invigorating him.
Without further hesitation, Su Tianhao poured out a golden pill.
He closed his eyes, looking as if he were about to be executed, then suddenly threw the pill into his mouth, picked up the warm water on the table, and swallowed it with a "gulp".
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
"Um?"
Su Tianhao smacked his lips, as if there was nothing particularly special about the taste.
"Could it really be Maltesers?"
The thought had just crossed his mind.
The next moment, a surge of heat from a volcanic eruption burst forth from his lower abdomen!
That warm current transformed into a rushing river, instantly washing over his limbs and bones, and finally surging straight to the top of his head!
"Buzz—"
Su Tianhao felt like tens of thousands of tiny suns were exploding in his head at the same time!
Every pore on his body opened up at that moment, greedily breathing in the air.
The lingering fatigue and heaviness from before were swept away by this powerful heat!
Instead, there is an explosive sense of power!
He felt an inexhaustible surge of energy coursing through his body, like a lion awakening and roaring through his veins!
Su Tianhao's back straightened involuntarily, making a series of cracking sounds from his bones.
He looked down at his hands and clenched them tightly.
"Creak!"
The sound produced by those knuckles contained astonishing power!
"Oh my god!"
Su Tianhao paced back and forth in the study, his earlier composure completely gone.
He threw a tentative punch at the air.
"call!"
The force of the punch was so strong that it created a slight gust of wind, causing the documents on the table to flutter.
Su Tianhao himself was stunned!
He instinctively threw several more punches in succession.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
The howling wind made even his scalp tingle!
This is hardly like going back to being eighteen.
It's practically turned into an energetic African buffalo!
He rushed to the full-length mirror and looked at himself in it.
His eyes were bright and piercing, his complexion was rosy, and he looked at least twenty years younger!
Su Tianhao could even feel the muscles under his suit bulging slightly, brimming with explosive power!
He could no longer contain his elation and excitement.
"Bang!"
He pushed open the study door.
He strode aggressively toward the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom.
Jiang Wan had just finished applying a top-quality caviar face mask and was preparing to read a book before going to sleep.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was violently kicked open from the outside.
She was startled and looked up.
She saw her husband, Su Tianhao, standing at the door with shining eyes and a radiant face. His gaze was like that of a wild beast that had been starving for three days and three nights, spotting its fresh prey.
"Tian...Tianhao, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Wan was frightened by his appearance.
Without saying a word, Su Tianhao pounced on him like a hungry tiger.
"Wan'er! I'm here!"
……
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
In the most luxurious main villa of the Su family manor, the light in the master bedroom stayed on for half the night.
During this time, faint sounds of the bed creaking under the weight could be heard, along with a woman's exclamation of both shame and anger.
In the living room downstairs.
Several maids on the night shift gathered together, looking at each other in shock and confusion.
A young maid lowered her voice and quietly asked the old butler beside her.
"Uncle Zhang, what's gotten into the master today? What's wrong with him?"
"Normally, you'd be asleep by now at this hour. What's wrong with you today...? Did you take some kind of stimulant?"
Uncle Zhang, the old housekeeper, raised a finger and put it to his lips, making a "shh" gesture.
He glanced meaningfully at the direction of the master bedroom upstairs, lowered his voice, and sighed in a tone of someone who had been through it all.
"No stimulant can compare to the magic pills that my son-in-law sent."
"It seems that the tide is about to change for the Su family."
"Starting tomorrow, everyone be on your best! That Mr. Jiang is treated like a prince in our family! Anyone who dares to slack off is fired!"
……
The next morning.
In the dining room, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Su Tianhao walked downstairs looking radiant.
He walked with a brisk pace, humming an off-key tune, and his whole demeanor was incredibly energetic.
He saw Jiang Chen already sitting at the dining table, slowly drinking his milk.
Su Tianhao paused in his steps.
The way he looked at Jiang Chen had completely changed.
The scrutiny, nitpicking, and disdain of yesterday were gone from those eyes.
Instead, an extremely complex emotion emerged.
There was gratitude, awe, flattery, and even a touch of... fanaticism!
That's hardly a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law; it's clearly a believer looking up to the living Buddha he worships, or a patient paying homage to the reborn parents who saved his "sexual happiness" for the rest of his life!
Su Tianhao rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with a smile that was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
He walked quickly to Jiang Chen's side and personally pulled out a chair.
"Oh dear, Chenzi!"
That "Chenzi" was called out so affectionately and naturally.
"Why are you up so early? Did you sleep well last night? Should I ask the kitchen to make you something else?"
Su Tianhao's enthusiasm left the servants nearby speechless.
Is this still the same stern and imposing head of the Su family who is usually so stern that he can frighten children to tears?
