That's pure nonsense. Han Lie's status and importance are clear. Trying to fob him off with so low-quality won? Wouldn't that be digging my own grave? If I'm going to do this, either I don't do it at all – just have a simple, sober get-together and talk. If that doesn't work, I'll look for another opportunity. But if I am going to do it, I need to show sincerity and set the scene perfectly. My own wife and sister-in-law, decent, respectable ladies – isn't that sincerity enough?! As for the money spent... it'll all co back to during the divorce anyway, so why panic?!
Gao Shen was full of sches, watching Bai Yuqiu eagerly, his posture extrely humble.
The young wife sighed heavily, a reluctant look on her face as she stood up to find her phone.
"You go take your shower. I'll see what Yushuang thinks..."
Gao Shen was anxious. "So, is it a yes or a no? Dad is waiting!"
"What's the rush?" Bai Yuqiu replied with irritation, her tone noncommittal. "First, I'll invite them out shopping. Tomorrow, while we're shopping, I'll try to persuade her. As long as your gift is up to par, I don't think it will be a big issue..."
Getting this semblance of an assurance, Gao Shen finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, the gift will be perfect! I always do what I promise!"
Then, with a mixture of hesitation, awkwardness, and reluctance, he offered his final instructions.
"When the ti cos, you both better show so enthusiasm. I don't an anything by it, but you know... Anyway, you have to treat Han Lie like an important guest. Just don't look down on his boasting anymore!"
Bai Yuqiu rolled her eyes dismissively. "Yeah, yeah, I got it!"
Gao Shen turned and walked towards the second-floor private bathroom, looking back repeatedly and muttering nonstop, "Mr. Han isn't just boasting; he's genuinely impressive. You only feel that way because you don't understand. Don't ss this up for , okay? Make sure your attitude is good. Do you hear ?"
"Enough already!" Bai Yuqiu replied, her face cold, enunciating each word sharply, "I will... be... sure... to... try... my... best!"
Finally reassured, Gao Shen happily went off to shower.
Heh! I've really handled this beautifully! he thought. Bai Yuqiu, oh Bai Yuqiu, so proud, so arrogant, looking down on everyone – so what? In the end, aren't you still going to work hard for ? Money... what a wonderful thing! Tomorrow, I'll reward you three sisters with two pairs of Balenciaga stockings each. Even though I can't touch them, they're still a feast for the eyes!
SLURP!
MWAHAHAHA...
Watching her husband humming a tune on his way to the bathroom, Bai Yuqiu spat disdainfully. She then went to the corner of the balcony to call Bai Yushuang.
"Sis, ask Han Lie whether I should go. If I do, how should we handle our relationship?"
Bai Yushuang was completely dumbfounded by her sister's story.
What in the world is going on? Does such good fortune actually exist?! Officially sanctioned fun, with an appearance fee including a top-of-the-line Cayenne plus a full set of Bulgari jewelry?!
"Go, of course! Even if my legs were broken, I'd crawl over there!" Bai Yushuang's eyes practically blazed with excitent. It's not just about the money; being able to pry it from Gao Shen's hands is the most satisfying part!
"Wait for , I'll talk to the 'little wolf-dog' right away!"
This conversation led to the current phone call.
Han Lie, listening to Bai Yushuang's recounting of the situation, covered his face and nearly died laughing.
This whole affair... it's a special, rare, and truly educational kind of... joy. The damn guy doesn't know how else to describe it. Let's just call it joy! Next ti I 'play cards' with the sisters, I'll get to drink an extra cup of yogurt. How much more fun could it get?
"Co to the hotel," Han Lie said. "I'll personally teach you how to play the role of an escort..."
As Han Lie's voice trailed off, Bai Yushuang's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she quickly covered her phone's speaker.
Shut your mouth, will you! My little sister definitely can't hear this script...
By the ti Bai Yushuang stamred her agreent and hung up, Bai Yuxue had turned over on the bed. She gazed up at the ceiling in a daze, sighing deeply.
Bai Yushuang was puzzled. "Why the sigh?"
Bai Yuxue waved her hand weakly. "Just go. Let be alone for a while…"
Bai Yushuang finally understood and chuckled.
Hehe, there's another unlucky soul here... So pitiful!
Bai Yushuang nimbly hopped out of bed, dug a small toy out from her bag, tossed it onto the bed, and with a mischievous smile, waggled her eyebrows at her studious younger sister.
"Here! If you can't sleep tonight, this will help you... relax!"
Bai Yuxue's eyes widened. Everything about tonight feels so utterly absurd...
