Gao Jian had been waiting for Shen Yuan, knowing she was his biggest and last resort.
He never imagined that Shen Yuan would fail to borrow money; in his mind, she could definitely secure the loan.
By noon, when he finally saw the belated Shen Yuan, even though he was very angry, he still managed to control his rage.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The first thing Shen Yuan said upon seeing Gao Jian was an apology.
At these words, Gao Jian's heart began to sink incessantly, knowing that an apology from her could only mean one thing: she had not managed to get the money.
"Shen Jie wouldn't lend the money?"
"Didn't you tell her that if she didn't lend the money, I would suffer terribly?"
Gao Jian felt a sense of grievance just thinking about it; how could he have known that his spring hunting trip to the mountains would bring such a serious accusation?
He thought it would just be a scolding at most, but he hadn't expected a fine, and such a hefty one at that.
