Chapter 87 The Shameful Catherine
"You actually don't understand what we think, or you have never really understood the persistence of the three of our family." Catherine sighed and tried to lighten her tone: "You have said these words to your grandfather and to your father, but they have never changed their decisions. So now you have told me that you should have a premonition and will not have any effect."
"Yes, I have 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 owe me anything. These debts should not be borne by three generations of your family, let alone by a girl like you. You are beautiful, strong, kind, and determined. As long as you can come back alive this time, you will have an infinitely broad future. People like you,
You should not be troubled by this shackle. Haha, I figured it out too. Your behavior this time is a high-risk investment. Although the risk is very high, the returns are immeasurable, so I will not stop you anymore. However, this shackle of debt will bind your future. This is definitely not a fair thing for you. Didn’t you knights always say that you should use your life to pursue justice? Why can you tolerate such unfair things happening? And it happens to you? Are you no longer a firm knight?"
"Thank you, grandpa." Catherine showed a faint sense of happiness in her smile. 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 your selfless love for me from your words, just like you love my father and my grandfather. I am very touched. Really, very, very touched. I am actually a very clumsy person and can't use anything.
Gorgeous words express my heart now, but I still hope you can understand the touching in my heart at this moment. Just like you love me, over the years, I have loved you like my father and grandfather, and regard you as my true relative. However, I still want to reject your kindness this time, because this is not only the persistence of a knight. The persistence of a nobleman, but more importantly, for our family, this is the persistence that we must keep our heads up in life in the future.”
"I don't understand, of course I don't understand." The old man suddenly became angry, broke away from Catherine's hug, slapped the boat's side hard, and said angrily: "I really can't figure out what your family is thinking. I've told you so clearly. You never owe me what you have, why don't you understand the common language? "
"Don't be angry." Obviously. After being with Panis for a long time, maybe Catherine didn't learn anything else, but her level of cheating rose sharply. Seeing the old man getting angry, the girl not only did not fear or worry, but instead smiled with a standard Panis-like cheating smile, and leaned over and took the old man's arm, gently shook the old man's arm and said with a smile: "Don't calm down, grandpa, look. I used to work hard to make money in the future, just think I'm a dowry."
"What, what dowry?" The old man's anger was directly held back by Catherine's tricks. He stood there with his mouth open for a long time before stammering, saying, "What does this have to do with dowry?"
"Hehe, Panis told me secretly." The knight girl didn't smile like a knight at all, but like a prank little demon, blinking mysteriously, saying, "Do you think I don't know? Our family has paid you a debt, and you have not used a single copper coin. It has been well preserved. She also said that when you die, you will be a legacy distributed to me or as my dowry when I get married. Hehe, I have known it for a long time, so you don't have to pretend you don't know."
"You know everything about this, this, this, this, this, and there is no intention to object." Snape said with a giggle and cry: "Then what are you still insisting on? Return the money to me and I am returning it to you. Is it fun to do this?"
"Why should I have the will to object?" Catherine asked back: "Just you can't stop our three generations from trying to repay this debt, I can't stop you from returning this money to me in various ways. Haha, this kind of thing is only about myself and cannot be stopped by others. Since that is the case, why should I still object?"
"You also know that you can't stop me, so don't you just have to pay it back from the beginning? How much trouble can you save?" Snape said in confusion: "Your family has spent so much effort and ended up having no meaning. Why is it? I really can't figure it out, is there any need to do this?"
"Of course, because these are two things." Catherine put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "Indeed, from your perspective, because of my grandfather's help, you can earn a lot of money smoothly and quickly. Even if you lost hundreds of millions of gold coins due to your grandfather's experiment, it was just a failure of investment. Grandfather does not need to bear any responsibility. Moreover, after the grandfather's efforts to remedy, you earned the lost money again, so you never think that our family owes you any loss to you. However, from our perspective, it is another situation. In my grandfather's opinion, you think he is right.
Your help is actually just normal interpersonal communication. Isn’t this the most common thing to introduce two friends to each other and let them know each other? As for the subsequent development, it is your own ability and has nothing to do with grandfather. Therefore, grandfather thinks he has not really helped you, and there is no such thing. What you do is to support his experiments and satisfy his endless desires. Even if the hope of success becomes increasingly slim, the funds you provide have never been interrupted. Even if you have to borrow money for it, you will continue to support him. What he ultimately repays is the complete failure of the experiment and put you on the verge of bankruptcy."
"This is not his fault. There are always successes and failures in the experiment. No one can guarantee absolute success. Moreover, he did not fail on purpose." Snape's eyes were red and he said loudly: "Besides, haven't I recovered later? Why did he persist and eventually kill himself in the adventure. What is he thinking, what are you thinking!"
