John was stunned when he heard that. He didn't know that Gu Shaoting and his wife had gone through so much.
He was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt that his request might have been too much, but when he thought about his precious daughter, he held back his apology.
Gu Shaoting didn't feel that an apology was in order and he wasn't angry. "Mr. John, sorry to disturb you. I'll take my leave first."
"Alright then." John looked at Gu Shaoting's departing figure and felt a little lonely. He wondered if he had done something wrong.
"Dad, where's Brother Gu? He left? Did he reject the offer?" Charlene barged into the study without knocking.
"Where are your manners? Look at you now. What's wrong with you?" John reprimanded sternly. Charlene was becoming increasingly unruly.
"Dad... I'm just anxious about the outcome." Charlene said coquettishly.
