The moment Wei Qingyu said this, President Qiu's expression immediately turned exceedingly awkward.
Because just moments ago, Gu Chen had bought up every last bit of Spiritual Medicine.
So now, Golden Dragon Treasure Bank did not have even a drop left!
Thinking of this, President Qiu could only say to Wei Qingyu with a troubled expression, "Miss Wei, something happened at my little shop."
"The Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit you wanted is now... now out of stock."
When the words "out of stock" reached Wei Qingyu's ears, she was so furious she wanted nothing more than to slam her palm down hard on the counter beside her.
But Wei Qingyu's injuries were simply too severe. Even the slightest movement now sent piercing pain drilling through her body!
In a fit of rage, Wei Qingyu questioned President Qiu in an icy tone, "What is wrong with your Golden Dragon Treasure Bank? Aren't you supposed to be the greatest treasure merchant house under heaven?"
"And yet in broad daylight, you're telling me the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit is out of stock? Have I been too nice to you? You..."
As she spoke, Wei Qingyu became too agitated and accidentally pulled at her wounds, making her ache so badly she wanted to roll around on the floor!
However, Wei Qingyu was the Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family after all. Naturally, she could not do something like roll around on the ground. She could only grit her teeth hard and desperately endure the pain.
Faced with Wei Qingyu's questioning, President Qiu's expression was naturally quite unpleasant. After all, who could have expected a customer like Gu Chen to casually buy up the entire shop's stock?
But at this point, President Qiu still had to give Wei Qingyu an explanation. He could only force a smile onto his face.
"Miss Wei, I am truly sorry. A young master came by just now and bought all the stock in our little shop, including the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit."
At first, Wei Qingyu had thought Golden Dragon Treasure Bank merely had insufficient medicinal reserves, and she had intended to curse at him a little and leave it at that.
But when she heard President Qiu's reason, the fury surging through her instantly grew even greater!
She could not help thinking to herself, He bought out Golden Dragon Treasure Bank's entire stock of Spiritual Medicine? Is this young master so kidney-deficient that he needs such heavy supplementation?
The key was, no matter how deficient he was, this was not how one replenished oneself! Wouldn't he supplement himself to death alive?
Wei Qingyu was speechless beyond measure. She had dragged her injured body step by step to Golden Dragon Treasure Bank and had nearly been tortured to death by the pain.
The Wei Family servants had originally planned to buy the medicine for Wei Qingyu.
But Wei Qingyu thought that if that fellow Gu Chen found out she had been beaten so badly that she could not move at home—
Wouldn't Gu Chen look down on her outright?
In her previous life, Wei Qingyu had been inferior to Gu Chen in every way. Now that she had been reborn, she absolutely did not want to live beneath Gu Chen's shadow again!
As the saying went, one would rather die for face and suffer while alive. Wei Qingyu had hurt every step of the way, and now her intestines were nearly green with regret.
Yet after finally reaching Golden Dragon Treasure Bank, she was told that all the Spiritual Medicine had sold out. Wei Qingyu nearly broke down on the spot!
Seeing that something was wrong with Wei Qingyu's expression, President Qiu feared this eldest young lady would lose her temper and hurriedly said, "Miss Wei, please do not worry!"
"Though we no longer have the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit, we still have some prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. If necessary, shall I prepare some for you?"
Wei Qingyu's expression was extremely ugly then. On one hand, it was from anger; on the other, the pain from her wounds was truly about to kill her!
Unable to care about anything else, Wei Qingyu impatiently waved her hand. "Fine, fine. Pack them all up. I'll take everything!"
Hearing this, President Qiu immediately beamed. "Certainly, certainly! I'll arrange it for you right away, Miss Wei!"
President Qiu was practically grinning from ear to ear today.
Gu Chen and Wei Qingyu had visited Golden Dragon Treasure Bank one after another, each opening their mouths and demanding that all the Spiritual Medicine be packed up.
With such a wonderful windfall, President Qiu would probably laugh himself awake in his dreams tonight!
When good fortune came, one's spirits soared. As President Qiu prepared Wei Qingyu's medicine—
He muttered to himself, "Ah, that Young Master Gu really is something. He actually bought all the medicine."
"Good thing we still have some other medicine here, or there really would have been no way to explain things to Miss Wei."
Wei Qingyu was only injured in body and hands, but her ears remained sharp.
Although President Qiu had already gone behind the screen, she still keenly caught the four words, "Young Master Gu."
Looking across the entire East Desolation Commandery, there were only a handful of people surnamed Gu.
And the only person who could now be called Young Master Gu was Gu Chen!
Wei Qingyu's face immediately darkened. She raised her voice and shouted, "President Qiu, what did you just say?"
"Was it Gu Chen who bought all the medicine here?"
The moment Wei Qingyu spoke those words, President Qiu could not help freezing for a moment.
He had not expected this little girl's ears to be so sharp!
President Qiu hurriedly finished preparing the prescription, then ran over with a chuckle. "Hehe, yes. Young Master Gu directly bought all the Spiritual Medicine in our little shop."
"I told him then that our shop only had five Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruits left, but he still bought them all."
As he spoke, President Qiu respectfully handed the medicine to Wei Qingyu. "Miss Wei, all the medicine is here. Please accept it."
Wei Qingyu's expression was even uglier than if she had eaten shit.
She had never imagined that she had merely come to buy medicine, yet that fellow Gu Chen would still oppose her!
"Hmph, I definitely won't let him off!"
Wei Qingyu spoke angrily and snatched the medicine bundle from President Qiu's hands.
But when Wei Qingyu opened the bundle and glanced inside, her expression froze on her face.
How could this be called Spiritual Medicine? It looked even more like medicinal dregs than medicinal dregs!
There were clumps of black stuff, and some even had white fuzz growing on them. Wei Qingyu's brows immediately knitted tightly together.
"President Qiu, you're trying to fob me off with this?"
President Qiu was badly frightened. He hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, Miss Wei, I would never dare!"
"This is already the last little bit of medicine Golden Dragon Treasure Bank has."
"Do not judge this medicine by its appearance, Miss Wei. Its effects are not inferior to the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit at all; it just tastes a little unpleasant."
"If it truly will not do, I can also give you some brown sugar, Miss Wei. That way, this medicine will not be so hard to swallow."
After all, Wei Qingyu was the dignified Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family, and from childhood onward, she had fought to be first in everything.
If she had to add sugar just to drink medicine, would that not disgrace her reputation as the Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family if word got out?
