Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 664: Conversation in the Study Room

"Is there really no hope at all?"

Old Mr. Pei murmured, a trace of desolation in his cloudy eyes.

"Yes, Su Chen, is there no other way?"

Pei Jian looked at Su Chen unwillingly and asked.

Su Chen looked at the two men and shook his head again, opening his energy eyes. It wasn't that easy.

Seeing Su Chen shake his head again, both men instantly wilted like frostbitten eggplants, completely devoid of vigor.

"Grandfather, elder brother, it's okay if it can't be cured. Haven't I been living well all these years?"

Seeing the two in such a state, Pei Man couldn't help but comfort them.

Old Mr. Pei and Pei Jian, hearing her say this, could only smile helplessly, their smiles as strained as they could be.

"Actually, there is not entirely no solution."

At that moment, Su Chen's voice rang out again.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the two men, who had been completely desperate, immediately had their eyes ablaze with fervent light!

Even Pei Man's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope!

"Quickly tell us, what is the method?"

Pei Jian grabbed Su Chen's arm in his excitement and asked.

His strength was great, and even Su Chen momentarily felt a twinge of pain.

"Don't be so excited, listen to me slowly."

Su Chen gently freed his arm and said.

"Okay, you speak, you speak."

Pei Jian said sheepishly, his face finally showing a smile.

"I didn't mention it before because this method is nearly impossible."

Su Chen glanced at the two men and said.

"What does that mean?"

Old Mr. Pei hurriedly asked:

"Could Mr. Su please clarify?"

"Because it involves a kind of plant that is extremely rare, one that I have never seen in my life."

Su Chen said, looking at the two:

"That's why I say it's as if there's a method when there's not."

"What plant is it? As long as it exists in this world, no matter the cost, I will get my hands on it!"

Pei Jian said, his eyes radiating firm determination.

"Ghost Beard Grass."

Su Chen uttered indifferently.

"Ghost Beard Grass?"

Old Mr. Pei and Pei Jian couldn't help but look at each other in confusion, they had never even heard the name of this herb.

"Su Chen, are you sure that with this Ghost Beard Grass, we can cure Man's leg?"

Pei Jian stared intently into Su Chen's eyes and asked.

"At least an eighty percent chance!"

Su Chen also looked seriously at Pei Jian as he spoke.

"Alright, since you say so, I will believe you. No matter what, I will get the herb you mentioned!"

Pei Jian clenched his fists and said.

"Let's search together. I will also keep an eye out for any news about it."

Truth be told, Su Chen didn't really expect them to find it; after all, the plant was far too rare.

It was instead himself who still had that sliver of hope.

"Mr. Su, we are so very grateful to you!"

Old Mr. Pei immediately said with tears of gratitude upon hearing this.

He knew that if Su Chen was to search, there would definitely be a greater chance of success than with just him and his son, especially since they had only just learned of Ghost Beard Grass today.

"Su Chen, you don't need to trouble yourself too much, just let it be as fate wills."

Pei Man said softly.

"I understand."

Su Chen smiled gently.

Although today's treatment had ended in failure, there was at last a glimmer of hope, so Old Mr. Pei and Pei Jian's faces eased up a bit.

"Mr. Su, if you're not too busy, could you join me in my study for a cup of tea?"

the Pei family elder suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately looked at the Pei family elder and then nodded:

"I've long heard that the elder Pei loves tea and collects only the finest. It seems I'm in for a treat today."

Su Chen knew that the elder wanted to speak with him about something, and naturally, it was because he was willing to treat Pei Man.

Afterward, Su Chen followed the Pei family elder into his study, which was simply and traditionally furnished with some antique furniture.

Then the two sat down opposite each other at the tea table, and the Pei family elder personally brewed a pot of tea before pouring Su Chen a cup:

"Try this, it's Honey Dan Orchid. This tea is quite rare!"

Su Chen lifted the cup to take a sip and praised:

"The leaves of this tea are slender, flat, and aromatic, with a distinct floral fragrance. The taste is fresh and mellow, slightly astringent with a sweet aftertaste. The leaves at the bottom are tender, green, bright, and uniform. It's truly a fine tea."

"It seems Mr. Su is also a connoisseur of tea!"

the Pei family elder said with a smile, his heart filled with admiration for the young man. He was well aware that I wanted to discuss what he was most eager to hear, yet he could remain calm and composed, as if the matter was as light as a cloud, gentle as a breeze!

Just this level of composure was impressive!

"I'm merely playing the lute to a cow in front of Elder Pei."

Su Chen said with a humble smile, then took another sip.

"Mr. Su, I know what you want to know."

the Pei family elder suddenly said:

"First, I must tell you that when it comes to the affairs of your grandfather, as well as your parents, my Pei family was not involved."

"Do you believe that?"

"Yes,"

Su Chen nodded slightly.

"Why?"

The Pei family elder was somewhat surprised upon hearing Su Chen's straightforward reply.

"If, at this moment, you, Elder Pei, are seated face-to-face with me and still don't dare to tell the truth, then I think you are no longer fit to be the head of the Pei family."

Su Chen said calmly.

"Hahaha~~~~"

Upon hearing this, the Pei family elder burst into laughter:

"Good, for that statement alone, I, this old man, toast to you!"

"Cheers."

Su Chen smiled faintly, clinked cups with him, and then drank it all in one go!

As the Pei family elder often discussed matters with Pei Man, his study was not far from her room.

Hence, his laughter was clearly heard in Pei Man's room.

"It seems that grandfather and Su Chen are having a good talk,"

Pei Jian remarked as he looked toward the direction of the Pei family elder's study.

"It's to be expected."

A playful smile appeared on Pei Man's face.

"Seeing them getting along so well must please you,"

Pei Jian said with an insinuation.

"Of course, aren't you pleased as well?"

Pei Man looked up at Pei Jian and asked.

"My pleasure is different than yours."

Pei Jian said with a smile.

"Big brother, don't you know the principle of 'seeing through but not saying through'?"

Pei Man said with a pout.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop."

Pei Jian, who rarely saw this expression on Pei Man, waved his hand.

At this time, in the Pei family elder's study, he looked at Su Chen and said:

"Actually, I'm also unaware of the specifics of what happened back then, but I suspect that the Shen family and Su family are most likely related."

"I think you must have considered this, right?"

"Indeed, now that you, Elder Pei, have mentioned it, it further confirms it."

Su Chen nodded and said. Certainly, although the Pei family elder was only speculating, his status ensured that his guesses were well-founded and not arbitrary...
