Gu Ruhe realized that his elder brother was going to wash his hands off the matter.
He hurriedly rushed to Mr. Gu, who was now his only pillar of support.
"Dad, Dad, save me, I really don't want to go to jail. I was forced into this, I had no choice. Please, for the sake of the two kids, talk to my big brother. I promise I've changed, I'll never do anything like this again."
Xiao Xue also understood the gravity of the situation. Her own father couldn't help; in fact, Xiao Xue had never discussed her father's situation with Gu Ruhe. It wasn't just retirement time approaching and someone having already been appointed to replace him—her father was about to step down.
This was not a time for any mistakes; he couldn't even protect himself, let alone a son-in-law.
So it wasn't that Xiao Xue's father didn't want to help, he simply couldn't.
Xiao Xue couldn't tell all this to Gu Ruhe.
If Gu Ruhai refused to step in, then their family was truly doomed.
