In today's world, most people believed that only twenty milliliters of Life Essence Fluid remained.
And those twenty milliliters had already been heavily diluted.
Yet the powerful effects of Life Essence Fluid still drew the attention of many.
Especially the older generation of certain families. They did not want to die and still wanted to live a few more years.
Those twenty milliliters of Life Essence Fluid could help them resist aging and withstand the blades of time.
With this stuff, living another five years should not be a problem at all.
For those on the verge of death, even one more day of life was worth a fortune.
Li Yuan was certain that this gift would earn him some courtesy.
But he needed to think carefully about how to give it, and whom to give it to.
While seated on the plane, Li Yuan began asking Xia Zhao about her family.
Including who held the most authority in her household and who truly called the shots.
Large families always had someone who made the final decisions.
Unlike small households, with only two or three people who could simply discuss things together.
Once a family had too many people, it was impossible to settle everything through discussion.
Everyone had different interests at heart, and in the end, no decision could be properly carried out.
"Major family matters are decided by my grandfather. He is also the head of the family.
In many matters, his word is final.
Of course, that does not include my choice of partner."
When Xia Zhao mentioned her grandfather, she could not help adding that last part.
Hearing that, Li Yuan naturally understood.
Her grandfather clearly did not approve of him either. Otherwise, she would not have needed to say that her choice was hers alone.
