- Yes, Ms. Wu asked me if I could be her guarantor. I said no. I remember what she taught me and how kind she was to me but her family is bankrupt. She asked me to be a guarantor? Do you know what a guarantor is? She asked me if I could do that but I couldn't so I told her no. My wife asked me if I signed as Ms. Wu's guarantor and I told my wife that I didn't because I've heard of these things and so I rejected her.
