"You’re right, I’ve raised her all this time, and over the years, apart from a little living expense, she hasn’t done anything for us. Now’s the perfect time for her to repay us! It’s settled then, you go tell Gu Qin, as long as the big boss is willing to fork out the money to save Old Gu, I’ll send Gu Yan to him right away!"
Hearing Mrs. Gu’s firm statement, Li Xiulan felt secretly pleased.
"Alright, I’ll call Gu Qin right now. The sooner we finalize this matter, the better for us. Big Bro can’t wait any longer."
Though Li Xiulan said this, she was actually thinking that the sooner this was settled, the sooner her daughter could mingle with high society and find a wealthy husband. Then she’d become in-laws with rich people.
Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly, completely unaware of Li Xiulan’s intentions, instead urging her to quickly contact Gu Qin.
Gu Qin, hearing the good news from Li Xiulan on the other end of the line, immediately called the big boss after hanging up.
The person seemed very satisfied, praised Gu Qin a bit, making her overjoyed, and she tentatively asked, "So, President Liu, the banquet next month?"
"Make sure you’re dressed up nicely, I’ll get you in."
"Thank you, President Liu." Gu Qin was visibly pleased, and after President Liu said a few more things to her, she hung up the phone with a shy expression.
Gripping the phone, Gu Qin was thrilled at the thought of attending such a high-profile banquet next month.
A confident smile spread across her face, believing that once she targeted someone, they would inevitably fall at her feet!
While dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family, Gu Qin and Li Xiulan discussed the arrangement for Gu Yan and President Liu to meet.
Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, couldn’t wait a moment longer and insisted they meet tonight.
Li Xiulan hesitated a bit, "Isn’t it too soon? Won’t Gu Yan suspect anything?"
"So what if she suspects! Even if we spell it out for her, she must go immediately! When does she get to say no?" Mrs. Gu’s attitude was very firm.
In her mind, even if she had to take Gu Yan’s life now, she wouldn’t hesitate to give it to her.
Seeing Mrs. Gu’s stance, Li Xiulan felt a bit relieved, knowing that with Mrs. Gu taking the lead, all she had to do was fan the flames a bit.
Gu Yan, unaware of Mrs. Gu and Li Xiulan’s plan to sell her out, was in the attending physician’s office inquiring about her father’s condition.
"Doctor, when will my dad wake up?"
"The patient is extremely exhausted, and this time it’s an automatic sensory shutdown for rest. It won’t take long. He’ll be awake by tomorrow at the latest."
Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good."
"But, Miss Gu, your family needs to quickly decide whether to proceed with the surgery. Whether it’s the right leg or the heart, the patient can’t wait. The longer it drags on, the greater the harm and surgical risk."
"I understand, I’ll decide as soon as possible."
Leaving the attending physician’s office, Gu Yan wandered down the hospital corridor like a lost soul.
A million for the surgery, where could she get that?
Should she borrow from Xue Xianglan? But even selling herself wouldn’t repay such an amount!
She already owed Xue Xianglan a lot, and borrowing even more money, she’d never be at peace in this lifetime.
But apart from Xue Xianglan, who else was there?
As soon as Qin Junnan’s name popped up, Gu Yan dismissed it right away. Not to mention they barely knew each other, even if there was some acquaintance, he had no reason to lend her that much money.
Continuing to think, Tang Yuxiu’s name unexpectedly came to mind!
Gu Yan thought she was really going crazy!
