Let's Divorce As Agreed - Chapter 708:
Chapter 708: Terms For Negotiation
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
John found it hard to accept that his daughter, the apple of his eye, would actually fall in love with a married man.
“Yes, Dad. I like him. I love him. I was deeply attracted to him the first time I saw him.” Charlene boldly revealed her feelings.
“You… You know that he has a wife and a kid, right? Why are you so stubborn?” John was so angry that he almost couldn’t speak.
“I know, but Dad, there’s nothing wrong with liking a person, and there’s no logic to it.” Charlene retorted.
“I’m so disappointed in you.” John shook his head helplessly.
It was really infuriating that her reply was so self-righteous.
He saw Gu Shaoting mindfully putting a distance between himself and Charlene today, but his stupid daughter was still throwing herself at him.
“Sigh…” John was really disappointed.
“Dad, didn’t Brother Gu ask you for help?” Charlene suddenly asked. She felt that it was the right time to take matters into her own hands.
“Yeah, but I’m still thinking about it. After all, it’s a huge sum of money.” John pondered for a moment.
He had analyzed the pros and cons. Of course, based on his understanding of Gu Shaoting, he was a trustworthy person. After all, they had worked together for so long and he knew his character well.
Moreover, he was very capable. His current situation was only temporary. He would be able to solve this problem. It was just a matter of time.
After being in the business world for so long, John thought that he was a good judge of character.
If he helped Gu Shaoting, he would owe him a favor that he would return eventually.
“Dad, why don’t you help me? Just tell Brother Gu to divorce his wife and marry me. And you’ll transfer the funds to him immediately.” Charlene had clearly thought about how she could take advantage of the situation.
This idea came to her the moment she overheard their conversation when she walked past her father’s study.
Moreover, this idea grew stronger with time and she felt that it was highly workable.
Gu Group had been built on the hard work of several generations. Her Brother Gu would never let it fail when he was at the helm.
Moreover, she didn’t believe that her Brother Gu and Shu Pan were a loving couple.
“Nonsense, how could you even think that? Silly girl, do you think that Gu Shaoting likes you?” John said earnestly.
“Even if he doesn’t like me now, he’ll slowly like me after we get together. Feelings can be cultivated.” Charlene didn’t listen to her father at all; she was totally immersed in her own world.
“I think you’re possessed. There are men who are more outstanding, younger, and better looking than him. Why can’t you consider the people around you?” John’s face turned red as he spoke.
“Love isn’t logical. Dad, I’m begging you.” Charlene pleaded. “I rarely begged you for anything.”
“Let me think about it, but I still don’t approve of your actions.” After all, she was his precious. He couldn’t bear to be too harsh on her.
However, when Charlene heard her father’s tone soften, she wanted to cheer in her heart.
“By the way, you must attend the business banquet with me the day after tomorrow. You’ll need to start getting involved with our business. You’ve had enough time to rest.” John thought of something more important.
“Sure, Dad. Hm… Don’t you have two invitations? You can give one to Brother Gu since he’s in trouble now. He could really benefit from the opportunity to meet those business tycoons.” Charlene suddenly had an idea. Her Brother Gu would definitely be very happy if he knew that she helped him. After all, such opportunities were rare and it was an honor to attend such a function.
