"You, go home and reflect on your mistakes. I don't want to see you right now!" Father Zhao walked feebly to a chair and sat down. His once high - spirited figure seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden.
Zhao Wanru was scolded by her father like this for the first time, and she was also a bit angry. It was a matter that could be solved by spending some money. Was it really necessary for her to kneel and then be told to leave?
"Fine, I'll leave." Zhao Wanru said aggrievedly.
Father Zhao took a deep breath, covering his chest with his hand, not even bothering to look at her.
Before Zhao Wanru could even walk out of the office, more bad news came. "President, the bank called. They won't give us a loan anymore, and they want us to pay back the previous debt as soon as possible!"
Bang!
Father Zhao slumped directly in the chair. He felt a sudden blackout in front of his eyes and fainted.
"Dad!" Zhao Wanru panicked and shouted for help.
At the entrance of the hospital's emergency room, Zhao Wanru grabbed the doctor's sleeve. "Doctor, how is my father?"
The doctor took off his mask with a solemn look on his face. "It's a sudden myocardial infarction. Fortunately, he was sent here in time. He's temporarily out of danger, but he still has to be hospitalized for a few days for close observation."
Once Father Zhao fell ill, the entire Zhao family was left without a backbone.
"No way! Dad, how could he suddenly get sick?"
"Miss, the president has actually been taking medicine. He was afraid you'd worry, so he asked us to keep it from you," the assistant explained.
The doctor shook his head and admonished, "Remember, don't let the patient be stimulated again."
Without funds, the company could hardly move forward. The assistant frowned tightly. "Miss, the president is ill, and the company urgently needs money. What should we do?"
Zhao Wanru was also pacing around anxiously. It was impossible for her to borrow money now. "Let's find someone to invest in the company."
"The company's reputation is not good right now. It might not be that easy to get investment."
"I have a way!" Zhao Wanru rushed out in a hurry. "I'll go find Xuan Yang. If the Wen family is willing to inject capital, there might still be a turn for the better."
The assistant wanted to say something but finally kept silent. There was nothing else to do at this point.
The two families used to be of equal strength. The Wen family had already obtained a certain share of the Zhao Corporation's stocks after helping the Zhao family last time. If they relied on the Wen family again this time, the Zhao family would hold fewer stocks than the Wen family, which meant losing control of the company.
Although the two families were engaged, it still involved family interests after all.
After leaving the hospital, Zhao Wanru called Wen Xuanyang, but there was no answer. So she went straight to his office.
"Xuan Yang, why didn't you answer my call?"
Wen Xuanyang rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "Wanru, there's a lot going on in the company recently. Can you give me some time?"
"You know the company is busy now?" Zhao Wanru immediately flared up. "Why didn't you think it was busy when you left the company's business and went to work in a small company?"
"Wanru, stop being unreasonable!"
"How am I being unreasonable? I knew it. You must have gone after Gu Sisi!"
Why was it that she had been so good to him, yet the only one in his eyes was that bitch Gu Sisi? Zhao Wanru gritted her teeth in hatred. She only regretted that Wang Junhui had failed and couldn't get rid of Gu Sisi, the thorn in her side.
Wen Xuanyang was a bit tired, and this kind of tiredness only came when he was facing her.
"Xuan Yang, do you know how worried I am because my father is in the hospital? We're husband and wife. If you don't help me at this time, who else will?"
"Aren't we not officially married yet?" Wen Xuanyang was annoyed and replied casually.
"What do you mean? You said before that the two families could get engaged first, hold the wedding, and get the marriage certificate next month. I agreed to all of it. What do you mean now?"
