Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 586 - 261: The Upper Limit of Division

Bai Yushuang dragged her weary body back to the rental house, where her sister Bai Yuxue was cooking noodles in the kitchen.

"I’m back!"

Bai Yuxue immediately turned around and looked her over carefully before asking with a complex expression, "How did it go?"

"Perfect!"

With an elated demeanor, Bai Yushuang directed her sister, "Cook an extra bowl. I’m going to wash my hands and change clothes, then I’ll tell you all about it."

Once she entered the bathroom, Bai Yushuang raised her head and saw that, unusually, a piece of underwear was hanging on the clothesline. When she went over for a closer look, she suddenly exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Xue? No way, you could sense it from that far?"

Bai Yuxue’s face turned bright red, and her first instinct was to deny it. "What are you talking about? I just forgot to take it down, that’s all..."

"Xue, you’re being naughty! That was clearly just washed. Since when did you get into the habit of washing your undies in the morning?"

Bai Yushuang rushed over and hugged her, teasingly asking, "Hey, what did it really feel like?"

Bai Yuxue kept a straight face for a moment, then ultimately let out a helpless sigh.

She and Bai Yushuang looked almost identical, except for a small mole on the left side of the bridge of Bai Yuxue’s nose. Ever since they were little, the two had a sort of telepathic connection, allowing them to sense each other’s strong emotions and moods. However, since both were inexperienced, neither had anticipated that this connection could also sense *that*, and over such a long distance... So, Bai Yuxue, resting at home, had the misfortune of waking up and having to wash her underwear separately. And given Bai Yushuang’s understanding of her sister, she could spot the discrepancy in an instant, leaving no room for denial.

"There was nothing special about the feeling."

Bai Yuxue stubbornly insisted, "I just didn’t sleep very soundly. It felt like I had a dream, that’s all."

"HEH HEH HEH HEH..."

Bai Yushuang let out a strange laugh, wiggling her eyebrows as she taunted, "You’re doomed, sis. When you face Han Lie, your defenses will automatically be halved. You’ll give in even more easily than I did..."

"Even with only a tenth of my defenses, I’d be more reserved than you."

Bai Yuxue’s calm yet piercing words immediately made Bai Yushuang’s pupils contract.

But before sadness could well up, Bai Yuxue reached around and hugged her, whispering softly, "After all, you’ve already paid the most terrible price for me. Now I have a choice, right, Elder Sister?"

A warmth spread through Bai Yushuang’s heart, and she caressed her sister’s cheek.

"You have more potential than I do. It’s only right..."

After a tender moment, Bai Yuxue suddenly broke the mood. "So, what kind of promise did you two actually get?"

"A very extravagant promise..."

Bai Yushuang told her everything in detail, leaving her sister wide-eyed in shock.

"Thirty million?!"

She eyed her sister up and down, her gaze full of skepticism. "You and Eldest Sister are very pretty, but just by ’doubling’ a few times, you’re worth thirty million?!"

Bai Yushuang rolled her eyes dramatically.

"It’s not like he’s giving us thirty million directly. Eldest Sister still has to get the money by mortgaging her house. It’s just that if something unexpected happens on her end, if she can’t handle the pressure from the Gao Family, Han Lie is willing to lend us thirty million to help with cash flow temporarily, that’s all."

"That’s still outrageous."

Bai Yuxue remained calm. Compared to her sister, she was more like the coolly intelligent Little Dragon Maiden.

"So, it’s like Eldest Sister can get her loan back in advance without impacting her private placement quota. Considering Han Lie’s skills, that thirty million might even double if he’s lucky. After we repay his money and deduct the management fees, we could still end up with ten or twenty million... Do you really think you and Eldest Sister are worth that much?"

"Just shut up! Stop scaring me!"

Bai Yushuang flopped onto the sofa, wailing as she hugged a throw pillow tightly.

"I also know it’s too much, too unreliable, and might not even materialize. But what can I do? Eldest Sister is being forced by the Gao Family to take desperate measures. Now she’s madly infatuated with Han Lie, pinning all her hopes on her young lover. If I don’t help her, am I supposed to undermine her instead? I have no choice but to gamble! I’m betting Han Lie has a conscience! I’m betting he truly has the ability and is proud and confident enough not to care about the paltry sum he’d be giving up for a pair of sisters like us!"

Bai Yuxue fell silent for a good while.

Indeed, Eldest Sister has no way out. To help her, Xiao Shuang also has to take risks. Even without Han Lie, Xiao Shuang would still get dragged into this and face the Gao Family’s provocations. Eldest Sister’s parents-in-law are anything but kind. If things really come to a head, how could the three of us sisters, or even our parents back home, escape unscathed? When you run into scum like that, there’s truly nothing you can do...

After a long silence, Bai Yuxue spoke softly, "It’s okay. If you add me into the equation, maybe it will be enough..."

Bai Yushuang suddenly sat up, flustered. "Don’t be rash! You’re our sisters’ last hope! If the two of us go down, so be it. You have to focus on your doctoral studies, your work, and starting a business. In ten or twenty years, our family will be counting on you to stage a comeback..."

"Idiot!"

Bai Yuxue rolled her eyes sharply.

"Of course, I’ll have to see how Han Lie treats you two first before I make any decisions. If we can live well in the next couple of years, why fantasize about ten or twenty years down the line?"

Her reasoning was sound, but... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Bai Yushuang eyed her sister suspiciously, suddenly asking, "Last night... how intense was the feeling for you? Was it very difficult to bear? Can you handle it?"

PFFFTTT!

It was as if a steam whistle had blared from Bai Yuxue’s forehead. Hot steam seemed to rise from her scalp, turning her forehead beet red.

"Are you nuts?!"
