Chapter 115.1 - Falling into an ice cave
“I … agree.”
Normally, it wouldn’t be anything to swap Ruan family’s reputation with 15,000 gold.
But in these circumstances, where so many accidents had happened?
He was completely helpless.
He hadn’t felt like this in years, had he gotten old?
Faced with the seemingly weak girl across him, who looked at him with clear and innocent eyes, he felt like she could push him to the point of no return in a single blind.
Ruan Xiuren suddenly looked up, laughing loudly, “The waves at the back of the Yangtze river drive those in front, the old replace the new, Boss Mu, I haven’t met such a strong opponent in many years. If I’m correct, then those stores that I sold out a month ago, were probably purchased by you?”
Lou Qingwu raised a brow but just sipped her tea.
She didn’t say confirm or disagree.
Ruan Xiuren looked at her with strong interest, “Then this time, I’ve suffered these losses with reason. I only hope, that Boss Mu can give me a chance to catch my breath.”
Lou Qingwu smiled, “Then I’ll see how long it takes for the Ruan family head to catch his breath.”
If it was long enough for him to turn the tables, then that would be too long.
“Ten days later, Jinsi building will come to collect the devices. I hope that at that time, the Ruan family head won’t disappoint me. I’ll take my leave.”
“Housekeeper, send away Boss Mu and shopkeeper Jin.”
“Yes!” Up until now, the housekeeper’s face hadn’t recovered.
Hearing Ruan Xiuren’s words, he forced a smile, “Boss Mu, shopkeeper Jin, please!”
Lou Qingwu slowly stood up and turned away.
Her tall and slim figure made Ruan Xiuren unable to breathe properly.
It was only until the housekeeper returned did his expression became slightly more steady, “Family head, do we really have to pay 15,000 gold to them?”
This way, how long would it take for the Ruan family to recover?
Ruan Xiuren rubbed his forehead, “Apart from this, are there any other methods?”
It was only so that Boss Mu could give him an extra ten days.
But there was an even more pressing problem in front of him now.
That is, even though they had ten days, they’d already have to rush the production of the gold devices.
And now they had to suddenly get 60-70,000 gold out?
“Master, how do we get so much gold?”
Ruan Xiuren suddenly grabbed his chest and coughed, the pressure on his chest these few days didn’t let up at all.
The housekeeper jumped in fright, he quickly patted Ruan Xiuren’s back to help him breathe.
“Master, you have to take care of your body.”
Ruan Xiuren waved at him to tell him to retreat. “I’m fine.”
He was only worried about that sum of gold.
If he couldn’t, then he could only … use that marriage dowry.
“Master, if we can’t, then the dowry that we prepared …”
The housekeeper couldn’t help but speak.
After all, that was from them and if they really couldn’t gather that money, then they’d have to take some out.
“En, let me think.”
If it wasn’t his final and last option, he wouldn’t move that sum.
If it wasn’t his final and last option, he wouldn’t move that sum.
Ning’er hadn’t woken up yet so he needed to swap that dowry for Ruan Zhen’s medicine.
-- Lou residence, Leaning Wind Pavilion.
Lou Qingwu had just come back when Lan Bai immediately rushed over to ask, “Master, how was it? Did the Ruan family head agree?”
“He agreed.”
“Fantastic!” As long as the Ruan family head agreed, then that second madam would have nothing to look forward to.
“Fantastic!” As long as the Ruan family head agreed, then that second madam would have nothing to look forward to.
Hahaha, let’s see how that second madam’s going to get a dowry for her daughter then!
Laoye’s so stingy, there’s no way that he’d use his own money for that.
“Let’s not be too happy too early. We’re not completely sure that Ruan Xiuren will move that money.”
She’d only left some bait for him, but whether or not Ruan Xiuren would take it, was something that she had no control over.
“Ah? Then would the Ruan family head really ruin the Ruan family for that ninth madam?”
“There’s always that possibility.” After all, it’s been tradition for heroes to be unable to resist a beauty.
