Han Fei knew she was a sensible person, so without much preamble, he took her straight to watch the surveillance footage in the study.
After watching the video, she seemed somewhat moved to hear Tangshan arguing with Grandpa Tang for her sake.
"What do you think?" Han Fei asked softly.
The woman was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "I...I know he's a good person. Although his feelings for me weren't that deep, he's a responsible person and he respects my choices."
Han Fei smiled slightly and continued to press, "So, according to him, you care more about your sworn brother?"
The woman shook her head and denied it, saying, "Actually, that's not the case. If I really liked him, we would probably be together by now, and there wouldn't have been any trouble in Tangshan."
“At the time, I was afraid that Tangshan would kill someone and I would be sent to prison. He had already lost his temper, and I was anxious too, so I could only hit him to calm him down.”
Han Fei smiled faintly, his tone slightly teasing: "Then, wouldn't it be better to be honest and speak frankly?"
She lowered her eyes slightly, seemingly hesitant, but finally sighed softly and revealed her true feelings: "Actually, I also don't want to get married."
"Tangshan's feelings for me were more of gratitude towards his savior than deep romantic feelings. He treated me like a passerby, someone he could do without."
She recalled her encounter with Tangshan. It was a sunny afternoon when Tangshan had run away from home, penniless, and seriously ill, lying on the ground on the verge of death.
She took him home and cared for him meticulously until he recovered. However, this kindness seemed to be seen by Tang Shan as nothing more than a life-saving grace.
Tangshan learned that her family was pressuring her to get married, and that the men in the area willing to marry into her family were all disabled.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and offered to become the son-in-law of this family.
Upon hearing this, her parents were overjoyed, fearing that the healthy groom might change his mind, and hurriedly began preparing for the wedding.
"He only saw me as his savior, and he only offered himself to repay the debt of gratitude. He didn't love me at all."
Han Fei was speechless. He'd already become a son-in-law, and she still didn't love him? What was the young lady thinking?
Han Fei sighed. These important characters from the original book indeed had more strange encounters. They always had some strange magnetic field around them, attracting strange people and things.
Now he's advising other people's children on their marriages, but what about the future? He has seven grandchildren born with villainous fates, and who knows what kind of strange partners their magnetic fields will attract.
"Please wait here for a moment, I will be right back."
Tangshan's fiancée nodded obediently.
Han Fei quietly entered the study, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy. The grandfather and grandson sat there, their lips tightly pressed together, their eyes fixed intently on him, as if expecting something.
Han Fei didn't say much, but silently turned on the surveillance video.
In the video, the girl's voice was clear and melodious as she casually recounted her encounter with Tang Shan. Listening to her voice, Tang Shan lowered his eyes, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
He truly loved that girl; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to marry into her family. He had never experienced such tender care before.
People are most vulnerable when they are sick, and it is also the time when their mental defenses are most easily let down.
The girl's gentleness and thoughtfulness gave him an unprecedented sense of warmth and comfort.
"I probably don't need to say anything more about the rest," Han Fei's voice broke the silence. "She's in the next room. Go and comfort your fiancée."
"Thank you, Grandpa Han."
Tang Shan took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the next room. He knew he needed to face that girl and make up for the previous misunderstandings and coldness.
"Go on, stop dawdling."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shan, like a torch that had been lit, rushed to the next room to comfort his anxiously waiting fiancée.
Watching his hurried figure, Han Fei's lips curled into a playful smile. "Old Tang, it seems this wedding banquet will still have to go ahead as scheduled."
"Brother Han, thank you so much!"
Han Fei smiled and took an ID card from the drawer, then pushed it in front of the other person.
Grandpa Tang looked puzzled, picked up his ID card and glanced at it. His pupils dilated in shock, and he was greatly shocked.
The "Brother Han" he called out was actually older than him!
He just wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear; it was too embarrassing.
Just then, Tang Shan, having appeased his fiancée, returned with her in his arms, beaming with pride: "Grandpa, let's go home, there are still a lot of wedding candies to pack!"
It's more meaningful to pack wedding candies and cakes yourself, and the wedding invitations were also filled out and sent out by Tangshan himself.
He didn't say it, but he was actually looking forward to it and tried to show his importance through his actions. However, he didn't expect that his fiancée never felt it, and all his efforts were in vain.
It seems that sometimes, silently dedicating oneself is not as practical as speaking frankly.
Old Master Tang was just looking for a place to hide, but when his grandson suggested going back, he immediately agreed: "Let's go, I still have some wedding cigarettes and wine to collect."
Han Fei watched the old man hurriedly put down his ID card and turn to run away, a smile playing on his lips, feeling quite pleased.
A phone call came to him; it was Old Gu, whose voice sounded tired.
"Kelly hasn't made any move yet, and we can't get into the research institute either."
"Mary hasn't been rescued yet?"
"Yes, half of the people we sent have already perished. She's about to make her move. Take good care of Xiao Qi. We don't know the specifics of her operation, but Xiao Qi is definitely the target."
"Yes, I understand."
It seems he'll be wearing the humanoid baby keychain to and from get off work these days.
The next morning, Xiaoqi was groggily woken up: "Grandpa, Xiaoqi is so sleepy, I want to sleep some more~"
"Didn't you want to go to the factory to see how the machines work? Come on, I'll take you there today."
Upon hearing this, the little girl, who had been listless and looking weak, lying limply in bed, suddenly perked up.
She climbed out of bed and jumped up and down on the bed: "Grandpa, let's go quickly!"
"Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth."
"Okay! Xiao Qi will go now!"
The little girl ran to the restroom and came out shortly after.
Han Fei suspected she was lying and hadn't brushed her teeth or washed her face properly, so he forced her to go back and brush her teeth again, and even timed her, forbidding her to rinse her mouth if she didn't finish in three minutes.
Xiaoqi's big, round eyes were full of sorrow, but she couldn't help but brush them.
She complained in her childish voice, "Toothpaste tastes awful. If it tasted as good as strawberry candy, I'd be willing to brush my teeth for thirty minutes."
"Then Grandpa will produce a toothpaste that our little Qi will like."
Really?
