Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 639 - 279: The Joy Brought by a Sense of Destiny

Bai Yuxue didn't accompany them to Gao Shen's home for tea. Perceptive as she was, she knew the Gao Family had private matters to discuss with Han Lie and proactively excused herself.

Gao Diaomao immediately called his driver and instructed, "You drive my car to take Yuxue home, then come to Gao Shen's house to pick me up."

Just as Bai Yuxue was about to refuse, Gao Diaomao cut her off. "Yuxue, how do you feel about Teacher Han?"

"Ah?"

Bai Yuxue thought for a moment, then shyly nodded. "He is very nice, especially outstanding. But aren't we... a little mismatched?"

Heh, who says good kids can't act? The Bai sisters are really one smarter than the next.

Gao Diaomao was extremely happy, encouraging her contentedly, "Don't worry, men like Teacher Han don't consider the other's family background when finding a girlfriend. Yuxue, your chances are very good!"

Bai Yuxue understood the implications of "girlfriend" and slightly furrowed her brows.

Gao Diaomao said meaningfully, "Teacher Han is only 20 years old. Even if he's eager to settle down, marriage is at least five years away. Thinking too much about it now is meaningless. So, the key point is what we can gain from this relationship. Don't you think?"

Bai Yuxue was silent, as if pondering.

Seeing this, Gao Diaomao immediately struck while the iron was hot, painting grand pictures for her.

"Yuxue, you're a smart kid. You should see that your uncle really needs Teacher Han's support. So, regardless of what Teacher Han thinks of you, your uncle will fully help you become better. We're close relatives, and looking out for each other is only right and proper. Moreover, once you get together with Teacher Han, Yuqiu at home would also be able to take charge and completely control Gao Shen, right?"

Bai Yuxue, conflicted and hesitant, slowly nodded her head.

She didn't believe a word of Gao Diaomao's manipulative talk, but she was willing to feign a certain yearning to meet his expectations.

"Good, good!" Gao Diaomao was very happy and eagerly led her to the car.

"Yuxue, get in the car; it's cold outside. You and Yushuang are still renting that small two-bedroom apartment in an old residential building near the south gate of the school, aren't you? Our family has a new apartment nearby—three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. You and Yushuang pack up your things and move in as soon as possible! Don't refuse! If you live better, Teacher Han will also be more comfortable when he comes to visit. Later on, if things really work out between you two, I will give you that apartment. By then, you may not need a house, but Yushuang surely will, right? Life in the Magic Capital isn't easy..."

Honestly, Gao Diaomao was really good at ingratiating himself and corrupting people. It was hard for ordinary people to withstand his tactics.

Bai Yuxue, "feeling particularly awkward," was just about to refuse when Gao Diaomao waved his hand and walked away.

"Go back! I'm going to see Teacher Han."

Thus, Bai Yuxue had no choice but to lower her head, get in the car, and be driven back to her rental apartment.

As soon as she entered, Bai Yushuang charged at her, excitedly bombarding her with questions, "How was it? How was it? Is our shared little wolf-dog handsome?"

What shared little... little... little...

Bai Yuxue rolled her eyes, sat on the arm of the sofa to change her shoes, and responded casually while looking down.

"Handsome. He has a strong presence."

Neither of them cared too much about looks, so the question about "handsome" was more about his demeanor and personality.

Bai Yushuang was thrilled. "HAHAHA! Isn't he super reliable?"

Bai Yuxue didn't answer directly but offered a different evaluation. "Han Lie is a very generous man."

"What's the difference?" In front of her younger sister, Bai Yushuang sometimes couldn't be bothered to think too hard.

Bai Yuxue explained, "Whether he can be relied on depends on the severity of the situation we encounter. You can't tell before he's truly tested. But being generous is a very clear character trait. At the very least, a generous man won't be stingy with his woman. From the current situation, it seems you two have bet correctly."

"BWAHAHAHA!" Bai Yushuang roared with laughter, hands on her hips, her gums almost showing. "I, your sister, am not a fool like Yuqiu! The moment I saw Han Lie, I knew he was a keeper!"

Bai Yuxue casually pushed her away and headed towards the bathroom. She couldn't even be bothered to retort.

But Bai Yushuang was all fired up and trotted after her, pestering her with questions: what happened today, what did they talk about, was there any closer contact, and... did she like him.

"Little Sis, do you actually like the little wolf-dog or not?!"

After being asked about fifteen times, Bai Yuxue finally snapped.

"Didn't I already tell you he's pretty good?"

"What kind of answer is 'pretty good'? I'm asking about feelings, feelings!"

Bai Yuxue knew that without a clear and definitive answer, she wouldn't get any sleep tonight. So, suppressing her shyness, she carefully shared her impressions of Han Lie.

"If I hadn't known beforehand that Han Lie intended to set a trap for the Gao Family, my opinion of him today wouldn't be very high. Judging solely from his behavior at the dinner table, Han Lie seemed a bit youthfully reckless, arrogant, casual, and frivolous. However, if we consider his background and motives, then his profound scheming and Agility could outclass almost any young person under thirty. My eldest sister's father-in-law was completely strung along the whole time, not noticing anything amiss. After my eldest sister joined them, it seemed like she tried some small maneuver, and even she nearly lost control, while Han Lie remained as steady as a mountain."
