Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 667 - 288: Your Father-in-Law Is Really a Savage...

Han Lie's sudden change in attitude instantly made Gao Diaomao behave. Until he found out the reason, he definitely wouldn't dare to make another reckless move.

Actually, anyone in this situation would react the same. How could a normal person possibly guess why Han Lie would suddenly turn hostile out of the blue?

Moreover, Gao Diaomao was not innocent; he was harboring a guilty conscience.

So, the moment he hung up the phone, he sought out Bai Yuqiu, probing and tempting her simultaneously.

"Xiaoqiu, have you been in touch with Teacher Han recently?"

Bai Yuqiu, feeling annoyed, anxious, and wronged, exclaimed, "Dad! Why would I contact him?"

Gao Diaomao immediately smoothed things over. "Aren't you going to vet him for your younger sister? Young people are shy. If you, as her older sister, don't step in, when will those two ever manage to go on a date?"

"Oh…" Bai Yuqiu understood, but she also felt troubled. "Dad, I'm anxious too, but you know Gao Shen's temper. It's really inconvenient for me… and I don't even have Teacher Han's mobile number!"

"I'll give you his mobile number." With a benevolent and kind expression, Gao Diaomao encouraged his daughter-in-law, "I'll back you up with Xiao Shen! This is a legitimate matter; he can't just get jealous and cause trouble, can he?"

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yuqiu pressed a hand to her chest, trying so hard to stifle her laughter that it ached. Consequently, she remained silent for a good while.

Gao Diaomao assumed his daughter-in-law was still hesitant. He curled his lip, already setting his trap as he coaxed her.

"Xiaoqiu, Dad knows this is difficult for you. But think carefully. With Yuxue's caliber, would you be content to see her find just any ordinary man to date and marry, for them to struggle together for a down payment, worrying daily about basic necessities?

How wonderful is Teacher Han?

You've met him in person, what do you think?

Granted, he's a bit young, and major life events like marriage aren't on the table yet, but isn't it good to be dating while building up some savings?

Besides, even setting money aside, Teacher Han's looks, physique, temperament, and depth—isn't he far superior to Gao Shen in every way?

You're more experienced; you can surely see things more clearly than Yuxue, so you need to take this seriously...

Don't blame Dad for being too blunt. Dad knows that old woman has wronged you, and Xiao Shen hasn't been much better either. But Dad has always cared about you; otherwise, I wouldn't be speaking from the heart like this with you.

You... just think about it, okay? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Once you've thought it through, take the initiative. Talk to Teacher Han more; don't let Yuxue's reserved nature jeopardize her prospects.

By the way, I heard from a friend that Teacher Han has been under a lot of pressure lately and is a bit on edge. If you get a chance, try to find out more discreetly. Later, we can figure out together how to help him out and earn some goodwill.

Got all that?"

"Okay... alright..." Bai Yuqiu agreed with great reluctance, her words interspersed with stutters and gasps for breath.

In Gao Diaomao's view, this was because she was emotionally troubled.

Alas! After all, she had been with Gao Shen since college, a full ten years. She had been a devoted wife and hadn't had much exposure to the real world. It was perfectly normal for her to be hesitant and conflicted at first.

But that wasn't really an issue at all.

In Gao Diaomao's opinion, a man like Han Lie possessed all the elements to ignite a woman's fantasies. The mysterious allure created by the contradictory blend of his youthful handsomeness and his composed strength, coupled with his immense wealth and exceptionally sharp emotional intelligence and eloquence... Without contact, it wouldn't matter, but with any deep interaction, 99% of women would be completely smitten.

Even if Bai Yuxue had strong resistance and remained composed and clear-headed, it would still achieve the goal if Bai Yuqiu herself became infatuated!

Hmm, perhaps even better.

The moral implications of messy relationships likely wouldn't be enough to bring Han Lie down, but if you can't control your urges and end up sleeping with my daughter-in-law, you'll have to offer some compensation, won't you?! Otherwise, what would happen to your reputation if word got out?

Gao Diaomao, believing his cunning plan was working, let out a sly chuckle. Hands clasped behind his back, he surveyed the streets below, thoroughly pleased with himself.

Don't rush, don't rush... What's the use of rushing? Rushing only leads to mistakes…

…

After receiving Teacher Han's mobile number from her father-in-law, Bai Yuqiu dialed it immediately.

"Hello? May I ask if this is Teacher Han?"

Han Lie was extremely puzzled by Bai Yuqiu's pretentiously demure voice. Could she be calling me in front of Gao Shen?

So, Han Lie replied very formally, "Speaking. And you are?"

"Ah, hello, hello! I'm Gao Shen's wife, Bai Yuqiu. You know, 'Bai' as in the 'white' in my name~~~"

Han Lie suddenly sensed something was off.

But, just to be cautious, he asked formally, "Hello, Sister Bai. Is there something I can help you with?"

"It's like this…" she replied in a soft, exceptionally ladylike voice. "Well, my father-in-law feels I haven't been enthusiastic enough towards you. He hopes I can play a decisive role in connecting you with my younger sister… So he's asking me to be more proactive, to have some... private, personal, in-depth, frank, and thoroughly satisfying conversations with you... on multiple occasions... Teacher Han, when might you be free? Perhaps we could arrange something? My younger sister has been very enthusiastic lately, exercising diligently. She's up with the rooster every day and is no longer that frail girl who couldn't even truss a chicken... As for communication, you say? I can certainly 'channel' some of that your way..."

CLICK!

Han Lie decisively hung up.

Damn it, she's crazy! Spouting double entendres during work hours! If this chat continues, the Dragon King will be curling his lip in disdain. Then who am I supposed to make an example of around here? Gao Diaomao is really something else. What kind of crazy ideas does he come up with? So, because she's his daughter-in-law, he doesn't feel any heartache for her, is that it? Uh, hold on... that doesn't seem right. That scoundrel, if it really came down to it, he'd probably even be willing to push his own wife out there... What a ruthless beast!
