Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 544 - 246 Unexpected Surprise_2

That kind of resentment was different from simply being tired of something. If one grew tired of a toy, they would at most stop playing with it. But Gao Yanai wanted to play yet dared not, so he could only rage impotently.

The rest of the story was guessable.

Initially, Gao Yanai was fooling around outside. Later, incited by his parents, he started to consider divorce and quietly began transferring assets.

The most significant assets were a company and a luxury mansion.

Her husband had independently established the company. Back when they were genuinely in love, he had given her a 25% stake, and it later developed well with his parents’ assistance.

But now, it had become a major problem.

Bai Yuqiu wasn’t foolish. She knew she couldn’t possibly contend with the Gao Family, so she didn’t even entertain thoughts about that company.

She just wanted to get her hands on some cash as a safety net.

Recently, she had considered many methods, but none seemed very feasible.

It wasn’t until she saw Han Lie’s introduction in an SPD Bank client email that a plan suddenly sparked in her mind—to borrow a chicken to lay eggs!

She wanted to find a way to quietly make a sum of money!

Of course, this "borrowing a chicken" method also came with many difficult-to-solve problems. But that didn’t matter. She might not be able to solve them, but that didn’t mean Han Lie couldn’t.

So, gritting her teeth, she set her sights on Han Lie and charged ahead with determination.

Good heavens, this was practically an all-or-nothing gamble.

As it turned out, before they even had a chance to discuss business, they first happily ate their fill for two days... This was truly an unexpected pleasure.

"I understand."

Han Lie chose his words carefully and slowly began, "You’re hoping I can help you secretly mortgage the property you own with your husband for 30 million. Then, you want that money given to your sister, allowing her to invest in my private equity fund. Furthermore, you want me to guarantee this investment, ensuring you get back at least 36 million after one year. Is that correct?"

Han Lie described it very precisely.

Bai Yuqiu, blushing, nodded gently, looking rather embarrassed.

"Hmm. I know this is excessive, but I really have no other way...

"If my sister has 6 million in her hands, then if anything happens to me... thinking optimistically, she could save me. Thinking pessimistically, she could at least fulfill my filial duties to our parents in my stead...

"You are my young man, the second man in my life, and more importantly, the only powerful man who has made me feel the joy of being a woman.

"I’ve been utterly conquered by you. I’m willing to give you everything I have. Please, will you help your little Qiu’er?

"I know I’m not worthy of you, but I’m not asking for much.

"It’s true, I’m not young anymore, but my sister is only 23. And... Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue are twins, you know!"

WOW!

Han Lie’s eyes practically popped out...

Bai Yuqiu giggled, murmuring ambiguously, "Darling, you’ll definitely like them..."

HISS...

Sister Bai really knows how to play her cards.

But Han Lie’s brain was still churning.

He was recalling the state in which he had seen Bai Yuqiu in his previous life.

Thanks to his Intelligence, now boosted to 79 points, Han Lie remembered many details.

At that time, Bai Yuqiu’s skin was still fair and delicate, and she still appeared young. However, an aura of melancholy had completely taken root, and anyone could sense her unhappiness.

That unique, heart-wrenching beauty was the main reason Han Lie remembered her so vividly.

However, five years later, she was still a private banking client at SPD Bank, her attire and accessories still exuding opulence.

So...

In the original timeline, did she not find a way to resist her husband?

And the reason that scoundrel Gao Yanai hadn’t completely cast her aside was likely because Bai Yuqiu had yielded, accepted some rather outrageous conditions, and ultimately maintained the facade of their marriage.

What exactly had happened, Han Lie had no idea. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However, it was clear that the Bai Yuqiu of that timeline hadn’t risked everything in a desperate struggle.

Good heavens, so her current resolve is because of me?!

Han Lie felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, followed by a profound sense of spiritual fulfillment.

Look! The goddess-level married woman I could only secretly glance at in my previous life has now been utterly conquered by me!

I’ve not only changed my own destiny, but I also hold hers in my hands.

With a gentle flick of my hand, I can pluck the intertwined strings of fate, rescue this beautiful wife from her fiery predicament, and grant her a new life.

Oh, right, and there’s a pair of twin sisters as a bonus...

This immense sense of achievement was far more satisfying than earning one or two "small goals"; the two couldn’t even be compared.

Even a magnate as wealthy as Boss Ma couldn’t experience the kind of joy Han Lie was feeling.

Because Boss Ma succeeded through his own efforts in this life; all he had seen were the sceneries of this current lifetime.

But Han Lie was a reincarnator, with an exceptionally failed past life serving as a contrast. Every change brought him happiness magnified several times over.

Han Lie’s mood suddenly became exceptionally good.

But he remained calm.

"What are your in-laws’ names? What do they do? I need to ask someone to look into them before I can make a decision."

Bai Yuqiu was overjoyed.

Han Lie hadn’t explicitly agreed to help, but his attitude had softened. There was hope!

"My father-in-law is Gao Yijun. My mother-in-law... they used to be in a textile factory. Later, they started dabbling in real estate and garment export. Their businesses aren’t large-scale; their net worth is at most a little over a billion."

Han Lie’s heart skipped a beat. Good heavens, another real estate developer?!

Could it be...

Is brother about to get both the girl and the fortune again?!

"Wait a minute, I’ll ask around."

Han Lie decisively pulled out his phone. After a moment’s thought, he decided to ask Panzi.

Like father, like son, charging into battle!

Panzi sounded somewhat surprised. "Gao Yijun? Why are you asking about that old scumbag?"

Oh?

Han Lie chuckled. "What’s this? Are you two not on good terms?"

"Tsk!" Panzi sneered. "That lowlife isn’t even worthy of being my rival. Though, he’s certainly a pain in the ass."

Heh, what a coincidence, right?

Han Lie laughed heartily and got straight to the point. "Can I afford to offend him? If I can, I’ll find a way to help you collect some interest!"

"What’s there to not afford offending?"

Panzi sounded incredibly domineering, his voice laced with killing intent.

"As long as you find an opportunity, you go right ahead and hammer that old bastard! When that lowlife was starting out, he ruined so many families. Taking him down is enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven!"

Panzi wasn’t worried in the slightest that Han Lie would be at a disadvantage.

After the trial of the Ming Capital project, his trust in Han Lie had already reached a considerable level.

And Han Lie now had a good idea of things—This is doable!

After hanging up, Han Lie wasn’t in a rush to inquire about Old Gao’s family. He planned to settle things with Bai Yuqiu completely first.

"I can help you," Han Lie said, finally setting her mind at ease. Then, his tone shifted. "Six million isn’t a huge sum, but I can’t make an exception just for you."

"Mm-hmm, I understand!"

Bai Yuqiu was so excited, all other activities forgotten.

The young married woman was genuinely intelligent, or perhaps she had truly been conquered by this scoundrel of a man. She wasn’t anxious at all, instead listening obediently to Han Lie’s words.

"Whatever you want to do, I’ll follow your lead!"

"Good." Han Lie then laid out his proposal. "I have my rules, but within those rules, I can give you choices.

"Three options—

"First, I can offer you a guaranteed 20% minimum return, akin to a high-interest loan. After one year, I’ll give you 36 million, and any further profits won’t concern you.

"Second, no minimum guarantee. We proceed with a standard contract. You’ll bear the risk of potential losses but also gain the right to a share of any profits.

"Third, don’t rush to get money from your family. I’ll help you scheme against your in-laws, and you’ll receive a share of whatever money is made from that.

"You can take your time to consider. But no matter which option you choose, you’ll have to show me your sincerity beforehand."

Bai Yuqiu thought for less than five seconds before clenching her teeth and saying, "I won’t choose! You decide for me. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do!"

Well now, more decisive than I expected...

Han Lie paused, momentarily surprised, then suddenly chuckled and shook his head.

Such an obedient and exquisite young wife... if I don’t take care of her completely, it would be a disservice to my rebirth!

Alright then, you three... from now on, you’ll be my sworn older sisters!
