Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 543 - 246 Unexpected Surprise

Lü Shuli’s emotions were indeed in a turbulent state.

Unfortunately, today wasn’t convenient for taking things further.

She had to follow Liu Minghao back to the law firm to deal with a heap of legal documents. Many would be needed the day after tomorrow, and she estimated she’d spend the next two days working overtime.

Think I won’t have to work once I’ve snagged a Sugar Daddy?

Naive!

My Sugar Daddy will only exploit me even more...

So, Han Lie went back to the hotel on his own.

Bai Yuqiu somehow managed to get time off from her husband. After having a set meal at the hotel at noon, she spent the afternoon recuperating at the spa, ready to truly show Han Lie what she was made of.

And yeah, she was pretty formidable.

She brought a Nintendo Entertainment System and started playing Contra with Han Lie...

After gaming for most of the night, it was ultimately Bai Yuqiu who surrendered.

Her Constitution was 79, plus she was in good Health. She wasn’t far behind those energetic NBA players. Even if she was slightly less resilient, they had matches and training to contend with. What kind of drain could *I* possibly be under?

The prince of staying up late—who else but me!

After another game session on Monday morning, Bai Yuqiu had completely lost the will to continue.

"Stop! Teacher Han, I need to end class!"

Han Lie leisurely countered, "Since when does the student decide when class is over?"

Damn... he actually has a point...

Bai Yuqiu’s eyes darted around, then she suddenly proposed a condition that was hard to refuse, "Let me off the hook, and next time I’ll bring my sister along to class. She’s way prettier than me. How about it, Han~Teacher~?"

How could that be anything but great?

Wonderful!

Teacher Han wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, asserting with feigned moral high ground, "Cut the act! Is it a deal?"

PFFT! Bai Yuqiu covered her mouth and giggled provocatively, as alluring as a poppy flower.

"Don’t worry! I’m counting on you to carry me. It’s just my little sister; she’s all yours!"

Damn, she’s really something!

Just her sister, and she even says ’that’s all.’ She’s a ruthless one.

For a full two days, Bai Yuqiu hadn’t mentioned a word about the private equity quota. Han Lie had even begun to think she didn’t care about the money at all and was just looking for excitement.

So, this was what she was waiting for all along?

Turns out, it’s not that she didn’t want it; she just had other plans in mind...

It was simple logic—if she hadn’t wanted much, she could have brought it up sooner.

She wouldn’t need to go to such lengths to please me, not to the extent of practically selling out her sister, for a quota of just eight or ten million.

Han Lie realized the situation was not as simple as it seemed, so he inquired without showing any emotion, "What are you planning? Given our relationship, I’ll do my best to help where I can."

His unspoken message was clear: she shouldn’t even bother making excessive demands; their relationship hadn’t reached that level.

"It’s quite simple..."

Bai Yuqiu deftly wrapped her arms around Han Lie, snuggling up to him like a kitten.

It sounded so effortless when she said it, yet the actual content of her words shocked Han Lie.

"I will secretly gather 30,000,000 from my family to lend to my sister—with a formal IOU, of course. You’ll set aside a private equity quota of 30,000,000 for my sister and guarantee at least a 20% return.

"Then, you’ll help me handle the mortgage, the transfer, and all other procedures without my husband finding out.

"If you manage all this, my sister and I will be at your beck and call...

"Dear Teacher Han, isn’t it simple?"

Han Lie’s head was buzzing. He understood, but he found it hard to believe.

"Secretly?"

"Exactly!" Bai Yuqiu nodded confidently. "I can’t let my husband find out! Once the money reaches my sister’s hands, it won’t matter if he discovers it then."

I don’t understand...

But I’m deeply shocked...

"Why?" Han Lie asked, frowning. "If your husband discovers this and decides to divorce you, you’d suffer a significant loss in the property division."

Bai Yuqiu’s expression instantly turned grim.

"He’s already started transferring assets."

She let out a bitter laugh and a long sigh. "By the time I found out, it was too late. It’s hard to say whether our current joint assets are even in the positive. He’s racked up a lot of debt in his company. If he suddenly declares bankruptcy, I’d be lucky if I don’t end up saddled with his debt—that would be him showing mercy."

Heh, I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch... So, the trouble’s finally arrived, has it?

Faced with the situation, Han Lie actually grew calm.

A man’s most important ability is to remain steady at critical moments.

If you can’t stay calm, things won’t go smoothly.

Difficulty is eternal. Everyone encounters various problems in life. Facing a problem isn’t a big deal; the important thing is to resolve it.

"How did it get to this point? Don’t rush, take your time, and explain everything clearly."

Han Lie’s composed and calm demeanor provided immense psychological support to Bai Yuqiu.

"Okay."

She nodded obediently, mustered her spirits, and began to tell Han Lie the story from the beginning.

The story was actually quite simple.

She and her husband were university classmates. Her family background was quite average, while her husband was a second-generation rich kid.

Everything had been idyllic while they were on campus.

He was two grades her senior and had actively pursued her. Then, right after she graduated from university, he married her despite his family’s strenuous objections.

However, life after marriage was not as blissful as she had imagined.

Her in-laws never approved of her. They felt she wasn’t a fit for their family, criticizing her for being too seductive-looking, lacking a dignified temperament, being jobless, not bearing children, and for wearing their son down—it was a long list of perceived shortcomings.

And her husband never helped ease the conflicts.

Deep down, he probably never took her very seriously, somewhat maintaining the attitude that she had married up by being with him.

Plus, their "scores" were too mismatched. The gap in their "levels" was too wide, hurting his male ego every time, and over time, he grew to resent her.
