Chapter 1806 — Worries (Part One)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Big Sis, don't worry. I'll go figure something out—I'll go ask the Wu and Sun families for loans. One way or another, we have to scrape together the money..." Even as he said this, Lai Fatty knew perfectly well that he was in no position to borrow even one hundred million right now, let alone one billion.
Tang Zhi was no fool; how could she fail to hear the lack of confidence in his words? She smiled bitterly, never imagining that all these misfortunes would converge at once. But to keep Lai Fatty from worrying too much, she could only say, "It's all right... I'll think of something else..."
After hanging up, Tang Zhi stared blankly at Gu Mengyao and Xiao Shu, unable to speak.
Why was heaven so unfair, making every disaster arrive at the same time? Before, one billion had been a great deal of money for Wei Zhao, but raising it had been far from impossible. But now...
Tang Zhi thought of the hidden Tang family, then swiftly shook her head. How could the hidden Tang family possibly take out one billion for her? Her biological father was probably wishing Wei Zhao dead, wasn't he?
That's right! Tang Zhi suddenly remembered her elder sister, Bingtang. Bingtang was the palace master of the Ice Palace—surely she could produce one billion? But how was Tang Zhi supposed to contact her? The only person who knew where the Ice Palace was had been Wei Zhao. Back then, even Old Master Wei had apparently been unaware of its location; Wei Zhao had searched for nearly half a month before he finally found the Ice Palace.
And now the Snow Valley and the Ice Palace were at opposite ends of the country, north and south. Even if she returned, managed to learn the Ice Palace's location, borrowed the money from Bingtang, and hurried back, whether Wei Zhao could hold out until then was completely unknown.
Because ever since they had left Xixing Mountain Village, Wei Zhao's body temperature had risen with every passing day. At first, the change had not been obvious, but as time wore on, even Xiao Shu began to find it hard to bear. Fortunately, although Xiao Shu feared heat more than anything, she had a heat-resistant, heat-conducting constitution, which was the only reason Wei Zhao had been kept stable up to now.
Tang Zhi could hardly imagine what would happen if this continued to be delayed.
When Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu learned that Guan Dafu Pharmaceutical had actually been squeezed into bankruptcy by the Kang Shenyi Medical Group, helplessness and frustration appeared on both their faces at the same moment. Why did all these troubles have to pile up together?
The funds on her father's side could not be withdrawn, Guan Dafu Pharmaceutical had to go bankrupt right at this time, and Wei Zhao had to suffer qi deviation at this same time!
The three of them truly could not think of anyone else to borrow money from. These young ladies, who had never been short of money from childhood to adulthood, felt for the first time the troubles that came with having no money...
"Grandpa Lin is Wei Zhao's master. Could he possibly have some prescriptions that can stand up to that Kang Shenyi Medical Group?" Xiao Shu suddenly thought they should not let the Kang Shenyi Medical Group get off so easily.
"Even if he did, it couldn't be put into production right away. Grandpa Lin seems to have some unspeakable difficulty—he can't leave Xixing Mountain Village. Without him personally preparing the medicines and giving guidance, relying on just a few prescriptions to revive Guan Dafu Pharmaceutical is not very realistic..." Gu Mengyao shook her head.
