President Qiu's expression immediately turned very troubled upon hearing Wei Qingyu's words.
This was because Gu Chen had just bought out all the Spiritual Medicine moments ago.
To the point where the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank had absolutely none left!
Thinking of this, President Qiu could only say to Wei Qingyu with a troubled look, "Miss Wei, my little shop has encountered a slight issue."
"The Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit you want is currently... out of stock."
When the words "out of stock" reached Wei Qingyu's ears, she was so furious she wanted to smash her master next to her.
However, Wei Qingyu's injuries were too severe, causing her excruciating pain even with the slightest movement!
In her rage, Wei Qingyu asked President Qiu with a cold tone, "What's going on with your Golden Dragon Treasure Bank? Aren't you known as the biggest treasure merchant in the world?"
"And now, 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, overly emotional, accidentally pulled at her wounds, causing her immense pain, making her wish she could roll on the ground!
But Wei Qingyu was, after all, the Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family, and rolling on the ground was out of the question. She could only grit her teeth hard, trying her best to endure the pain.
Facing Wei Qingyu's questioning, President Qiu's expression was naturally quite unpleasant. After all, who could have expected a customer like Gu Chen, who would casually buy out the entire store's inventory!
But as things stood, 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. Just now, a young master came and bought out all the inventory in our little shop, including the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit."
Initially, Wei Qingyu thought it was just a shortage in the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank's medicine reserves and planned to just scold them a bit and be done with it.
But upon hearing President Qiu's explanation, she became even more enraged!
She couldn't help but think to herself: He bought out the entire Golden Dragon Treasure Bank's Spiritual Medicine inventory? Is this young master that deficient, needing such potent tonics?
And even if he were deficient, this isn't the way to treat it. Wouldn't this just over-nourish him to death?
Wei Qingyu was utterly speechless. She dragged her injured body all the way to the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank, almost in agony.
The Wei Family's servants had originally intended to buy the medicine for Wei Qingyu.
But Wei Qingyu thought, if Gu Chen found out she was beaten and unable to move at home, wouldn't he look down on her?
In her previous life, Wei Qingyu had always been inferior to Gu Chen. Thus, after her rebirth, she absolutely did not want to live in Gu Chen's shadow again!
As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall. Wei Qingyu walked the whole way in pain, and now she deeply regretted her decision.
To finally arrive at the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank only to be told all the Spiritual Medicine was sold out nearly broke Wei Qingyu on the spot!
Seeing Wei Qingyu's displeased expression, President Qiu, fearing the young lady's anger, quickly said, "Miss Wei, please don't worry!"
"Although we don't have the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit here, we do have some prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis. If necessary, I can get some for you?"
Wei Qingyu's expression was quite grim at that moment, partly due to anger and partly because her wounds were truly causing her unbearable pain!
Without further ado, Wei Qingyu waved her hand impatiently and said, "Fine, fine, pack it all up for me. I'll take it all!"
Upon hearing Wei Qingyu's words, President Qiu's face lit up with joy. "Alright, alright! I'll arrange it for you right away, Miss Wei!"
President Qiu was practically beaming with happiness today.
Both Gu Chen and Wei Qingyu had visited the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank one after another, demanding to buy out all the Spiritual Medicine.
Encountering such good fortune, President Qiu would probably be laughing in his sleep tonight!
When one is happy, their spirits are high. President Qiu was busy preparing Wei Qingyu's medicine while muttering to himself.
"Ah, this Young Master Gu is something else, buying all the medicine."
"Fortunately, there are still some other things here, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Miss Wei."
Wei Qingyu was in pain all over, but her hearing was still sharp.
Even though President Qiu had gone behind the screen, she keenly heard the words "Young Master Gu."
In the entire East Desolation Commandery, there were very few people surnamed Gu.
And the only one who could be called Young Master Gu now was Gu Chen himself!
Wei Qingyu's face immediately darkened. She shouted, "President Qiu, what did you just say?"
"Did Gu Chen just buy all the medicine here?"
As soon as Wei Qingyu finished speaking, President Qiu couldn't help but be taken aback.
He hadn't expected this young lady to have such sharp ears!
President Qiu quickly finished preparing the medicine and ran over with a smile. "Heh heh, yes, Young Master Gu bought all the Spiritual Medicine in our little shop."
"I told him at the time that we only had five Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruits left, but he bought them all anyway."
With that, President Qiu respectfully handed the medicine to Wei Qingyu. "Miss Wei, the medicine is all here. Please accept it."
Wei Qingyu's expression was worse than if she had eaten something foul.
She never imagined that after coming here just to buy medicine, that fellow Gu Chen would still try to oppose her!
"Hmph, I will definitely not let him off!"
Wei Qingyu said angrily, snatching the medicine bag directly from President Qiu's hands.
However, when Wei Qingyu opened the bag and took a look, her expression froze on her face.
Because this couldn't be called Spiritual Medicine at all; it looked even worse than dregs!
Lumps of dark, black things, some even with white mold growing on them, made Wei Qingyu frown deeply.
"President Qiu, are you trying to fool me with this stuff?"
This scared President Qiu half to death. He quickly replied, "No, no, no, Miss Wei, I wouldn't dare!"
"This is all the medicine we have left at the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank."
"Don't mind how it looks, Miss Wei, its effects are no worse than the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit, it just tastes a bit unpleasant."
"If it's really that bad, I can give Miss Wei some brown sugar? That way, the medicine won't be so hard to swallow."
One must understand that Wei Qingyu was the esteemed Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family. From childhood to adulthood, she always strived to be first in everything.
Now, if she had to add sugar just to drink medicine, wouldn't that tarnish her reputation as the Eldest Young Lady of the Wei Family if it got out?
