3 Temporary Band-aid 2 (1/2)

Han Jei was still looking down on her small feet, waiting for her father to talk.

”How would you define gratitude?” He suddenly asked.

She frowned and instead of answering, Han Jie started using her phone in front of her father, which made him furious.

”You impertinent child! Don't you have any decency to use your phone when I am talking and ignore me?!” His father boomed furiously.

Han Jie snapped back, ”Father, you are being unfair! I was trying to answer you! Look!” She then let the man look at the screen of her phone.

”Gratitude... the quality of being thankful, readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” Han Feng read it slowly until his face turned black in anger.

His rebellious daughter looked at the answer from the internet and asked him to read it!

Han Feng did not know whether to laugh or get annoyed for his easy-going daughter. So conflicting!

Nevertheless, their conversation would get out of hand if he lost his temper. ”Fine. Then how will you repay someone to show your gratitude? Don't use the damn internet!” He asked through clenched teeth feeling like he was talking to a kid.

Whenever he looked at this daughter, Han Feng felt sad that she did not have any motivation to show her true capability.

If people just knew how great his second daughter was and what were the other things that she can do aside from her scandalous drawings, prestigious men will line up to marry her.

”Father, what is wrong with you? Are you feeling dumb today?” Han Fei asked in a snarky way.

”Enough! Just answer!” Han Feng finally lost his patience, but eventually calmed himself down.

Han Jie bit her lip, displeased. Before, if her father was furious at her, he would ask her to leave. Now, her usual annoyance tactic was not working.

'This is serious.' Han Jie thought to herself. The old man needed her cooperation, thus bearing her for that long.

”I would return the favor equally.” Han Jie answered truthfully.

Han Feng nodded in agreement, ”Then I cannot give my life to show my gratitude.” He said.

”Your life?! Father, what are you talking about?!” Han Jie stood up anxiously.

Why were they talking about life now? Was that a threat?

”Oh! So you care about me? That is good to know at least.” He replied, relieved.

”Father! Don't joke around! Who would want your life as gratitude? That will make the person evil!” Han Jie hissed furiously. Is her father being threatened by someone?

”Hehe. No, no.” Han Feng feeling delighted with his daughter's worry, decided to explain. ”Do you know the relationship I have shared and I am still sharing with the Suzuki's?” He asked.
