Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 712 - : Backed Into A Corner

Chapter 712: Backed Into A Corner

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next day, Gu Shaoting went to John’s house as planned.

When he arrived, he was relatively calm but prepared for the worst.

Charlene had been pacing the house since early morning; she was restless. She knew her father’s decision from his expression. She was the apple of his eye and he couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

She was more nervous about her Brother Gu’s answer. Would he agree to the added term?

Charlene brought Gu Shaoting to her father’s study the minute he arrived. As the discussion involved her, and an embarrassing request at that, she didn’t stay. She closed the door and left after she walked Gu Shaoting there.

“Shaoting, sit. Make yourself at home.” John was very nice.

Gu Shaoting nodded gratefully, and then John’s voice rang out again.

“Shaoting, you are asking for a large sum of money. I could probably raise the funds, but…” John left his sentence hanging.

Gu Shaoting saw his awkward expression and said, “Mr. John, just tell me straight.”

“Shaoting, I need some reassurance for such a large sum of money. If you’re family, there won’t be such a problem.” John revealed his intentions.

Family? Gu Shaoting thought he had heard wrongly. How could he and John be family?

“Mr. John, I don’t quite understand what you mean.” Gu Shaoting looked confused and his furrowed brows showed it.

“Shaoting, I hope you marry my daughter. Then, I will help you.” John did not beat around the bush.

“Mr. John, this isn’t funny at all. Don’t you remember that I’m already married and have a beloved wife and daughter?” Gu Shaoting wondered if Mr. John had gone crazy. Why would he think such thoughts?

“Shaoting, think about it. Don’t reject me so quickly. After all, Charlene is much more outstanding than your wife, and my family business will be given to her eventually.” What John said was indeed very tempting to most people, but not to Gu Shaoting. novelbuddy.cσ๓

“Mr. John, thank you for the compliments, but I love my wife very much and will not divorce her. Moreover, I will not let my precious and beautiful young daughter down.” Gu Shaoting declined the offer without a second thought. He wouldn’t leave Shu Pan even if he went bankrupt. Worst case, he would just start over.

John’s proposal was simply ridiculous.

“Shaoting, please consider it carefully. Isn’t it the best of both worlds if you had a young and beautiful wife as well as enough funds to keep the company running? Not everyone gets such an opportunity.” John persuaded Gu Shaoting. He would do his absolute best to help his daughter get what she wanted.

“Mr. John, thank you for your kindness. Since Mr. John feels that it’s difficult, I shan’t disturb you anymore. Thank you very much.” Gu Shaoting felt that he should find another solution as John didn’t look like he would lend him the money if he didn’t marry Charlene.

John looked up and met Gu Shaoting’s eyes before he said solemnly, “Shaoting, don’t reject me so quickly. Go back and think about it. I hope to hear good news.”

Gu Shaoting pursed his lips and said, “Mr. John, you probably don’t know how much my wife means to me. She’s more important to me than my life. It was very difficult for us to get back together. I’ve already let her down once before. I won’t do it again, ever.”
