"Dad, do you know what consequences your decision will bring to our family? We are just ordinary farmers, even though we're wealthy now, that doesn't change the fact. We're not a family with power and influence, how can we get involved in such things now? That could ruin us."
Gu Xiaoqing explained to Gu Ruhai, puzzled, as she couldn't believe Gu Ruhai didn't understand the severity of the situation. Her father was no longer the same Gu Ruhai who had just left Gu Family Village; the height of his career now determined his insight.
Even the Gu Ruhai of the past from the countryside would understand the danger of this situation and its deep influence on them.
Gu Ruhai poured a cup of tea for his daughter and pushed it toward Gu Xiaoqing.
"Take a sip, calm your heart."
Li Xuemei came downstairs, watching the father and daughter quietly sipping tea.
She sat beside her daughter.
Earlier, Li Xuemei had actually heard those words.
