Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived-Chapter 548 - 549: An Unreasonable Request

But if she knew that she had taken him directly to the hospital, that would be somewhat hard to justify.

After thinking it over, it was best to have Qin Sijue wait here.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sijue didn’t argue. With his hands in his pockets, he walked reluctantly to the rest chair, then sat down with his legs crossed.

Gu Qiangwei smiled and then walked towards the ward where Shen Mochen was.

As soon as she entered, she saw him lying on the hospital bed with a bandage hanging between his arms and neck.

Seeing Shen Mochen like this, Gu Qiangwei instinctively paused, then walked in.

"Mochen, your hand..."

Shen Mochen’s face was calm. Upon hearing the door open, he slightly lifted his eyes, "You’re here."

"Is your hand okay? What exactly happened?"

"Sit."

He pointed to a chair beside the bed with his uninjured hand.

Gu Qiangwei sat down, her gaze constantly on his injured hand, then she looked up to meet his deep and restrained eyes.

"Sorry for calling you out so late." Looking at her, Shen Mochen’s face was full of apologies.

Gu Qiangwei just smiled meaninglessly, "You don’t need to be so formal with me. Just tell me what it is."

Indeed, she also hoped that Shen Mochen would be straightforward with her, rather than beating around the bush, which would only make the two of them feel more estranged.

Shen Mochen looked at her for a while before starting to speak with difficulty, "My father’s company has been having some problems recently."

At these words, Gu Qiangwei seemed to remember, the last time she saw Starlight Entertainment undergoing a series of changes, she wondered how it was now.

Because she had also been through a lot in the past few days, she hadn’t had the chance to ask about him.

"I saw it on the news. What exactly is the problem?"

"Someone wants to acquire Starlight Entertainment. My father doesn’t want to, so someone is manipulating all this and poaching many of Starlight’s veteran artists."

Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but be shocked by this.

Starlight is a major company; who exactly wants to acquire it?

"Then do you know who it is?"

Shen Mochen shook his head, "I don’t know. Even the acquirer is shrouded in mystery."

Seeing Shen Mochen in a difficult situation, Gu Qiangwei’s face darkened.

"So you’re looking for me because..."

After staring at her for a long time, Shen Mochen finally spoke, "Starlight is the lifetime effort of my father. He doesn’t want his life’s work to be acquired by another company and then have its name changed." As he said this, Shen Mochen paused, and his gaze on her deepened, "So, I have an awkward favor to ask."

"Go ahead."

"The only way to keep Starlight operating is to train new veteran artists, but Starlight is now in a difficult situation, even the operational funds have been taken away. In other words, Starlight is now just an empty shell. My father has also been hospitalized because he couldn’t bear the blow, so, I hope you can lend me some money."

Lend money?

Gu Qiangwei was somewhat surprised but thought it was a reasonable request.

But she didn’t have that much money ...

Rescuing a company, surely, wasn’t something a small amount of money could solve.

"I know this may be difficult for you, but..." Shen Mochen’s gaze dropped, his expression troubled. He wouldn’t have turned to Gu Qiangwei unless it was absolutely necessary.

She was now the wife of Qin Si, the Young Madam of the Qin Family, so she could find a way to get the money.

But Shen Mochen himself seemed quite reluctant to ask her for it.
