The next morning at seven o'clock, Han Fei prepared to leave and arrive at the Yu family's house before eight o'clock. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a person squatting at the door.
The man was wearing a purple Taoist robe, his head was down, and his hair was very long, as if he hadn't had a haircut in a year or two.
"This Taoist priest?" Han Fei frowned. "Are you begging for alms here?"
The middle-aged man who was dozing off by the door suddenly woke up with a start. He raised his head and looked at Han Fei sleepily.
Han Fei looked at the other person's face and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, I remembered that in the original story, Xiao Liu had a Taoist uncle. That makes sense. Could this guy be Xiao Liu's uncle?
In the original book, Xiao Liu later became a financial tycoon who did many heinous things, naturally making many enemies. Those enemies used all sorts of means to take revenge on Xiao Liu, and later used some evil magic, which made Xiao Liu very unlucky for a period of time, and he was almost injured by a stray bullet.
While he was hospitalized and suffering from bad luck, a man came looking for him; it was his uncle who had been missing for many years.
His uncle helped him break the deadlock and stayed by Xiao Liu's side afterward, helping Xiao Liu resist the evil methods from various forces.
It was precisely because of this passage that Han Fei was able to confidently say that Xiao Liu's mentally challenged uncle was still alive when Xiao Liu mentioned him.
"Who are you?" The purple-robed man calculated with his fingers, then his eyes widened: "A person who should be dying, yet not dead! Judging from your philtrum, you have the appearance of longevity! How is this possible..."
Han Fei smiled. It seemed this man was indeed Xiao Liu's uncle, and he did have some ability.
The original owner was indeed a dying person, but after I transmigrated into this body, I exercised and maintained a youthful mindset, so I might actually become a long-lived old man.
"Judging from your appearance, you resemble my sixth grandson." Han Fei mimicked his unfathomable tone, and also pretended to do a finger-counting exercise.
The man in the purple robe was taken aback, his hands moving rapidly in calculations, as if sparks were about to fly.
"You...are you really Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi's grandfather?"
"Otherwise what?"
The man in the purple robe muttered, "I thought it was a wandering ghost."
Han Fei's heart tightened, but he maintained his smile and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
The man in the purple robe waved his hand: "Never mind if you didn't hear me. Where are my nephew and niece? I want to see them!"
Han Fei invited the man in: "It's Saturday today, the two children will sleep until eight o'clock, will you wait a moment?"
The man in the purple robe sat on the sofa and nodded: "I was also afraid of waking them up, so I didn't dare to knock when I got to the door, and just waited outside."
Han Chengda got up and came out. He was startled when he saw the man on the sofa: "Idiot Uncle?"
The man in the purple robe said sternly, "Watch your words."
Han Chengda's eyes widened: "You...are alive?"
The mentally challenged man who had been missing for two years has returned. He's alive and seems to have become normal again?
The man in the purple robe frowned as he looked at Han Chengda. Seeing the dark cloud hanging over the brat, with a bluish tinge between his brows—an ominous sign—he sighed, took out a yellow talisman from his robes, folded it into a triangle, and handed it to him: "Wear this."
Han Chengda took it dumbly, then, after realizing what had happened, handed it back: "What's wrong with you? You've switched from being a fool to a liar?"
The man in purple robes shook his head: "Dark clouds are gathering overhead. If you don't use my talisman to protect yourself, you might get entangled by something evil."
"I don't believe it! This is utterly absurd!" Han Chengda looked at Han Fei, who was watching the show from the sidelines: "Did you let this liar in?"
Han Fei shrugged: "He's Xiao Liu's uncle."
“He was always acting strangely, but now he’s even more so. I’m starting to suspect he was just pretending to be stupid!” Han Chengda questioned, “Where were you before? Why were you dressed like that? And what’s your purpose in coming here?”
Han Fei felt a strange sense of psychological balance when he saw the purple-robed man being bullied by the young leader.
Yes, the young boss isn't just targeting himself.
So this is how he is with everyone—sensitive, easily angered, and short-tempered!
It seems... I really need to take him to see a psychologist. He seems to be going through a rebellious phase, right?
Han Fei stroked his chin, wondering if his little boss would get so angry if he suggested taking him to see a psychologist. He thought that his angry face would be "cute"!
I'm such a good grandfather. No matter what the little ones look like, I think they're adorable without any conditions!
The noise outside woke the children. Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi came out of the room. When they saw the man in the purple robe, they were stunned for a moment. Xiao Qi reacted faster than Xiao Liu. She rushed over and threw herself into her uncle's arms.
"Uncle, Xiaoqi misses you so much! Where did you go? Why didn't you take Xiaoqi with you?"
The man in the purple robe picked up Xiao Qi, weighed her in his hand, and was relieved to see that she had gained weight.
It seems that Xiaoqi's grandfather is taking good care of the child.
He looked at Xiaoqi's fair and tender face with a rosy glow, then at her bright black eyes and glossy black hair.
It seems that Xiao Qi has been eating well, and her vitamins and nutrition are in place. Otherwise, her hair wouldn't be so good, her eyes wouldn't be so bright, and she would look very healthy. She has a very noble appearance, which is the kind of auspicious look that only a pampered little girl like a princess would have.
Han Fei was about to call Lao Yu to tell him that something had happened at home and he couldn't accompany him to the Yu family's ancestral home, but Lao Yu called first.
"Hey, Lao Han, something's happened. My grandson's been cursed. We can't go to the ancestral land for now. They've sent people over. I'm also looking for a master, but I don't know if it'll be of any use..."
Grandpa Yu spoke very quickly, even a little too hastily, and his speech was quite incoherent.
Han Fei's gaze fell on the man in purple robes, and he narrowed his eyes: "Wait here, I'll bring someone over."
The man in the purple robe sensed that he was being watched. He turned around and met Han Fei's narrowed eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt danger, as if he were being watched by a falcon.
"Um..." he pondered what to call the other person.
He used to call his sister's mother "Mom" when he went to his brother-in-law's house with his sister. Now that this is his brother-in-law's father, does that mean he has to call him "Dad" too?
He used to be an idiot, so it was one thing, but he wasn't ashamed to call me "Dad".
He can't bring himself to say it now!
"Xiao Zi, come on, let's go somewhere with Daddy!" Han Fei reached out and hooked his arm around her, smiling broadly. "Xiao Liu told me that you called my deceased wife 'Mom,' so call me 'Daddy' and let me hear it?"
The man in the purple robe looked at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu stuck her tongue out at him and ran away in a flash.
“Mr. Han, my name is not Xiao Zi, my name is Shan Cheng.”
"Oh, Xiao Shan, it's too formal for you to call me Mr. Han. Quickly call me Dad."
"Han—"
Han Fei handed over a check: "You just told Xiao Liu that you've been living in Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain hasn't maintained or improved its housing conditions for many years, and its reputation has been overshadowed by Maoshan. Here, take this money and go back to thank your master properly. If your master hadn't saved you, you might have died out there, and Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi wouldn't have an uncle."
Looking at the zero on the check, ten million!
Shan Cheng decisively swallowed the words "old man" and changed her address to "Father Han!"
