"You didn't really understand what we were thinking, or rather, you never really understood the persistence of these three members of our family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Catherine sighed, and said in as light a tone as possible: "These words, you have said to your grandfather, and you have said to your father, have not changed their decision, so now that you have a hunch for me, it will not have any effect." ”

"Yes, I've guessed it. Marquis Snape said helplessly: "My purpose is just to hope that you can reconsider giving up your debts, your family has given me much more than I have paid, you really don't owe me anything, whether it is gold coins or friendship, you have never owed me anything, these debts should not have been borne by three generations of your family, let alone by a girl like you." You are beautiful, strong, kind, and resolute, as long as you can come back alive this time, you will have an infinitely broad future, people like you should never continue to be troubled by this shackle, heh, I also figured it out, your behavior this time made me see, it is a high-risk investment, although the risk is very high, but the benefits are immeasurable, so I will not stop you anymore. But the shackles of this debt will bind your future, and it is never a fair thing for you, and don't you knights always say that you should pursue justice with your life? Why can you tolerate such an injustice? And it happens to you? Are you no longer a staunch knight?"

"Thank you, Grandpa. The smile on Catherine's face showed a faint sense of happiness, she threw the wine glass in her hand aside, gently hugged the kind old man from behind, put her head on the old man's shoulder, and said gently: "I understand what you mean, and I can feel from your words your selfless love for me, just as you love my father and my grandfather." I'm moved, really, very, very touched, I'm actually a very clumsy person, and I don't use any flowery words to express my heart right now, but I still hope you can understand what I'm feeling in my heart at the moment. Just as you love me, I have loved you like my father and grandfather for so many years, treating you as if you were my true relative. However, I still want to refuse your kindness this time, because this is not only the insistence of a knight, the insistence of a nobleman, but more importantly, for our family, it is a necessary insistence for us to be able to raise our heads and live in the future. ”

"I don't understand, I certainly don't. The old man suddenly became angry, broke away from Catherine's embrace, slapped the side of the boat hard, and said angrily: "I really can't figure it out, what is your family thinking, I have told you so clearly, you never owe me, why don't you all understand it, don't you understand the lingua franca?"

"Don't be angry. Obviously, after getting along with Pannis for a long time, maybe Catherine didn't learn anything else, but the level of playing tricks rose sharply, and seeing that the old man was angry, the girl not only did not fear and worry, but with a standard Panisian smile, she went up again to hold the old man's arm, gently shook the old man's arm and said with a smile: "Eliminate your anger, grandpa, you see, I have worked hard to make money in the past and in the future, and you will treat me as a dowry." ”

"What, what, what a dowry. The old man's anger was directly suppressed by Catherine's tricky words, and he stood with his mouth open for a long time before he stammered with an embarrassed face: "What does this have to do with the dowry." ”

"Hee-hee, Pannis told me secretly. The knight girl smiled not like a knight at all, but like a mischievous little devil, blinked mysteriously and said: "Do you think I don't know, the debt that our family repaid you, you haven't used a single copper coin, and it has been kept very well, and you also said that when you die, it will be used as an inheritance for me or when I get married, as my dowry, hehe, I already knew, so you don't have to pretend not to know." ”

"This, this, this, this, you actually know it, and there is no will to oppose it. Snape laughed and said, "So what are you still insisting on? Give me back the money, I'm paying you back, is that fun?"

"Why should I have the will to object?" Catherine asked rhetorically, "just as you can't stop three of us from trying to pay this debt, I can't stop you from returning this money to me by all means, hehe, this kind of thing is only about yourself, and no one else can stop it, in that case, why should I object?"

"You know you can't stop me, so why don't you just keep paying it back in the first place?" Snape said puzzledly, "Why is it that your family has put so much effort and so much suffering, but in the end it doesn't make any sense? I really can't figure it out, is there any need to do this?"

"Of course there is, because these are two different things. Catherine put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "Indeed, from your point of view, because of my grandfather's help, you were able to earn a lot of money smoothly and quickly, even if you lost hundreds of millions of gold coins because of your grandfather's experiment, but for you, it was just an investment failure, and your grandfather did not need to bear any responsibility, not to mention that after that, through your grandfather's best efforts to remedy, you earned back the lost money, so you never think that our family owes you anything." But if we look at it from our perspective, it's a different story. In my grandfather's opinion, what you said he helped you was actually just normal interpersonal communication, and it was not the most ordinary thing to introduce two friends to each other and let them know each other? As for the subsequent development, it was your own ability, and it had nothing to do with my grandfather. So, grandfather doesn't think he's really helped you in any way, not at all. What you do is support his experiments, satisfy his endless demands, and even if the hope of success is getting slimmer, the funds you provide are never interrupted, and even if you have to borrow money for it, you will continue to support him. And what he pays off in the end is a complete failure of the experiment, leaving you on the verge of bankruptcy. ”

It's not his fault, there are always successes and failures in experiments, and no one can guarantee absolute success, and he didn't fail on purpose. Snape's eyes were red, and he exclaimed, "Besides, didn't I recover later, why is he still persevering, and finally killed himself in the adventure, what the hell is he thinking, what are you thinking!"
