Backed Into A Corner

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.
