The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Of course, Mao Jinxi wasn't really a fool. When the company was on the brink of collapse, he withdrew his investment, leaving behind only an empty shell.

Therefore, the money he lost was less than a billion, which was completely acceptable to him.

But when Xu Hao brought up this matter, Mao Jinxi's complexion turned even uglier. This piece of history hadn't been mentioned by anyone in the past two years, but now it was publicly disclosed by Xu Hao.

Li Chenggong didn't know about this either. Now that Xu Hao had spoken and Mao Jinxi hadn't objected, he understood that it was true. This put a question mark in his mind regarding future cooperation with Mao Jinxi.

At this time, Xu Hao said, "Old Mr. Li, you go for routine checkups every month, which is a good habit. However, not all diseases can be detected through routine checkups, as they only involve some standard physical examination items."

Li Chenggong asked, "Are you saying I have an irregular disease?"

Xu Hao nodded slightly, "Old Mr. Li, you must sometimes feel weakness in your limbs and occasional moments of mental absence, correct?"

Li Chenggong nodded, "Indeed, that's true. I had this checked, and the doctor told me that it was sub-health and that it would be fine with some conditioning over time."

Mao Jinxi seized the opportunity to interject, "Humph! Xu Hao, stop talking nonsense. Sub-health is not a disease."

Xu Hao said with a faint smile, "I can't be bothered to argue with you, Mao Jinxi. If you say one more word, I'll make sure you fly off this rooftop."

"You...!"

Mao Jinxi, burning with fury, was just about to erupt in anger when he was stopped by Wu Yong. Wu Yong said in a low voice, "Nephew Jinxi, don't act rashly. Xu Hao is powerful. With no one from the older generation stepping in, nobody is his match now."

Mao Jinxi huffed, glaring at Xu Hao unwillingly.

Xu Hao let out a light chuckle and no longer paid him any attention. Instead, he continued, "Old Mr. Li's symptoms, in traditional Chinese medicine, are referred to as qi deficiency. But, Old Mr. Li has one particularly harmful habit that has caused his qi deficiency to never improve."

"What habit? Could it be…" Li Chenggong immediately said.

"That's right, Old Mr. Li enjoys eating betel nuts, but for those with a qi deficiency, consuming betel nuts is highly inadvisable," said Xu Hao.

"Ah!"

Li Chenggong sighed and said, "I didn't use to eat betel nuts, but when I was young, my father sent me out for tough training. I lived a hard life and tried betel nuts out of curiosity. I couldn't stop after that, and the habit got out of control, lasting until now. I know it's harmful to my health, but quitting is just too hard."

Xu Hao laughed and said, "The reason your qi deficiency is worsening and even trending towards a yang deficiency, is precisely because you've been unable to quit eating betel nuts. Furthermore, betel nuts can induce oral cancer. The difficulty in quitting betel nuts, cigarettes, and alcohol largely stems from their addictive nature. But I have a method that can help you quit betel nuts and make it hard for you to relapse."

"What method?" Li Chenggong immediately asked with intense curiosity.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Our Xu Liu Group is planning to add a new pharmaceutical division. I want to develop a new type of chewing medication, something like betel nut chewing gum, but it won't just be harmless to the human body—it will actually be beneficial."

Li Chenggong instantly lost interest, realizing Xu Hao hadn't developed it yet after talking so much.

Wu Mengchong sneered, "I've indeed gained some insight today. I haven't seen anyone issue empty promises like this before. But what's the use of all your talk?"

Xu Hao smiled faintly, "Did I say I am issuing empty promises? I mention all of this merely as an early promotion for our group's new medicine."

He took out a small bottle of cosmetics and said to Elder Master Li, "As a token of sincerity, I gift you this bottle of cosmetics."

Wu Mengchong said with disdain, "Xu Hao, are you kidding me? Your token of sincerity to Elder Master Li is just this bottle of cosmetics? We're talking about a sincerity of forty billion! Can this little bottle of unknown cosmetics match forty billion?!"

Li Chenggong frowned slightly, wondering what Xu Hao was up to. How could a bottle of cosmetics compete with Wu Family's forty-billion investment?

He said, "Xu Xiao You, it's not that I disagree, but what you're proposing is simply too..."

"Wait a minute!"

A woman's voice came through, and everyone looked over in unison.

A middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious attire and in her forties approached, accompanied by a tall and attractive young woman.

Xu Hao's gaze shifted slightly. The young woman was actually Louise.

Why was she everywhere?

Li Chenggong hurried over to assist the middle-aged woman, saying, "Lady Li, you've been unwell recently and should be resting."

Lady Li snorted, "If I had waited any longer, I would have missed out on something extremely precious and hard to come by."

"What's so precious and hard to come by?" Li Chenggong asked.

Lady Li looked towards the small bottle in Xu Hao's hand and said, "That bottle of cosmetics. It's a truly wonderful product, rare and invaluable!"

Wu Yong and the others felt a jolt in their hearts. Was this bottle of cosmetics truly that valuable?
