But apart from Gu Qiangwei, he couldn’t find anyone else who could help him resolve this crisis.
"Except for you, I can’t find anyone who can help me. At first, I thought the Qiao Family would lend a hand, but the funny thing is..." At this point, Shen Mochen suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh and said no more.
Gu Qiangwei knew that Qiao Muxue had always been fond of Shen Mochen. Could it be that because of this matter, Qiao Muxue had also changed her heart?
"She is willing, but the company isn’t hers, so she is willing but unable," Shen Mochen said, head bowed, with a forced smile always on his lips.
Seeing him , Gu Qiangwei naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch.
She had no money, but she was very clear that Qin Sijue’s money was more than enough to last a lifetime!
"Qiangwei, I’ll borrow this money from you, but you can be an investor, just consider it an investment, just like last time. If it profits, it’s yours; if it’s still not enough to save Starlight, I will find a way to repay you in the future."
"How much do you need?" she asked.
Shen Mochen hesitated for a few seconds, "One hundred million."
Gu Qiangwei was stunned, hearing such a large amount for the first time was inevitably shocking.
To know, one hundred million was likely more than she could ever earn in her lifetime.
Seeing the flash of shock that passed over her face, Shen Mochen spoke again, "Don’t worry, with this money, I’m fully confident I can save Starlight, and then I will repay you the principal plus interest."
He also knew one thing, that Qiangwei didn’t have that much money, but Qin Sijue did.
Gu Qiangwei was hesitant, a hundred million, after all. How could she broach the subject with Qin Sijue? But if she didn’t help him, it seemed unjustifiable.
After all, after graduation, due to Qiao Muxue consistently undermining her, she had bumped into walls everywhere; if not for Shen Mochen, she doubted she would have even had a chance to earn her keep.
"Mochen, it’s not that I worry about you not repaying, but... I don’t have that kind of money."
Shen Mochen looked at her, "You have Qin Sijue, and I know with your character, you might not want to ask him for money directly, but you’re his wife now. And if you speak about wanting to invest in something, he will surely give it to you. I know this might sound a bit shameless..."
Suddenly realizing something, Shen Mochen changed his mind, "Never mind, I’ll think of another way! It’s better you don’t ask him, to avoid any misunderstandings about you and me. He doesn’t like me much, does he?"
Hearing this last remark, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but explain on behalf of Qin Sijue, "It’s not that he doesn’t like you, he just doesn’t like any man who’s close to me. It’s not personal."
Gu Qiangwei finally took a deep breath, "I’ll try, anyway. It’s just a money issue, it’s the best I can do to help you out of this tough time."
"Thank you." Looking at her, Shen Mochen was sincerely grateful.
"Take care of yourself, I’ll come to see you again when I have time." With that, Gu Qiangwei stood up.
Shen Mochen tried to get out of bed, "Let me have someone drive you back, it’s so late."
"It’s okay, although the hospital is quiet at night, the streets on New Year’s Eve are quite bustling. I’ve driven here myself, you rest."
Having said that, she glanced at him, then turned and left the ward.
Watching her figure disappear the moment the ward door closed, Shen Mochen’s eyes held complex, indiscernible emotions.
Leaving the ward, she reached the corner of the corridor, only to see Qin Sijue sitting there, boredly fiddling with his phone.
