CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: I WILL GO WITH MY COUSIN

If Qin Junnan won’t lend her money, then Tang Yuxiu absolutely won’t lend her this money!

They just have a simple boss-employee relationship.

An employee, what qualifications do they have to ask their boss for so much money, especially since she had already advanced her salary the day before yesterday, and then took leave that very day!

If every employee asked their boss for money, the boss would undoubtedly go bankrupt first!

Which boss could tolerate this kind of employee?

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work either, Gu Yan scratched her head in frustration, what exactly should she do?

If she can’t think of a way, Gu’s father will be in danger.

Returning to the hospital room, she saw Li Xiulan was also there and gave a casual greeting.

Mrs. Gu asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"He needs surgery as soon as possible, it can’t be delayed too long," Gu Yan whispered, looking at Gu’s father’s haggard face, her heart twisted fiercely, "Mom, I will find a way to gather the medical expenses for dad’s surgery."

"Humph, no need." Mrs. Gu snorted coldly, her emotionless eyes staring at Gu Yan, "Gu Qin has already thought of a way. She knows a big boss who’s willing to lend us money. Tonight, you let Gu Qin take you to thank him, say some good words, and let him lend us the money as soon as possible."

Gu Yan was taken aback, "Really?"

"What, you don’t believe in Gu Qin’s ability?" Li Xiulan asked unhappily, she didn’t like anyone questioning her daughter.

"I didn’t mean it that way," Gu Yan hurriedly defended, "I just felt a bit surprised, if the person cousin knows is really willing to lend us money, that would be greatly appreciated."

"So perform well tonight! If the medical expenses fall through, don’t come back!"

"Does it have to be tonight?" Gu Yan asked, confused.

Mrs. Gu immediately glared at her, "Then when do you want?! After your dad dies?! Let me tell you, Gu Yan, without us, you’d be a nobody now. Letting you borrow a bit of money is something you’re so hesitant about, do you have any heart!"

Li Xiulan also chimed in, "Exactly, Gu Yan, it wasn’t easy for your parents to raise you this big. Now your dad is lying on the hospital bed at death’s door, what else do you have to consider? It’s just having dinner with someone, talking to them, and getting the money quickly, it’s all for your dad. Gu Qin worked hard to come up with this plan, don’t waste it."

Gu Yan frowned slightly; she merely asked a question, never said she wouldn’t go, and they already said so many words blaming her. She really couldn’t understand why.

She didn’t argue back, just nodded, "I understand, I’ll go with cousin."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu’s expression eased slightly.

Li Xiulan also said, "That’s more like it."

Gu Yan didn’t say any more, sitting by the hospital bed accompanying Gu’s father.

Once Li Xiulan confirmed Gu Yan agreed, she lost interest in staying longer and left quickly, leaving Gu Yan and Mrs. Gu alone with unconscious Gu’s father, not saying a single word.

The ward was very quiet, with only the sound of Gu’s father breathing heavily through his oxygen mask.

Near nightfall, Gu Qin called, saying she had arranged to meet President Liu at Shengshi, telling Gu Yan to be there promptly at seven.

Gu Yan checked the time and left awkwardly under Mrs. Gu’s discontented gaze.

She went home first to change out of the clothes she had worn for two days, took a shower, and then got a taxi to go over.

Shengshi is the most luxurious hotel in Jiang City, with a good environment, many services, and high-end; many wealthy people choose this place to do business.
