Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The subtle war between women_1

Yang Fei was distraught, she fumed: "Yang Gang, what the hell are you talking about! Of course we’re fake lovers. You and Lin Qingyu are also fake lovers, aren’t you? We can be a fake couple too."

Yang Gang looked at Yang Fei, then finally said: "Feifei, why do you suddenly want to team up with me?"

Yang Fei turned her head. Her mouth twitched as she thought: "I want to separate you from Lin Qingyu. I’m afraid if you two spend more time together, you might fall in love and become a couple. Then, I’ll be forced to call Lin Qingyu ’sister-in-law’... How could I possibly say that out loud!!"

Yang Gang looked suspicious: "Hmm... that’s suspicious."

Lin Qingyu gave him a look: "What’s so suspicious? Your sister is worried that if I were to marry you, she would have to call me ’sister-in-law’."

Really? Is that what this is about?

Yang Gang stroked his chin, looking surprised.

A war between women, intriguing indeed~

Yang Fei felt a pang of irritation. Her greatest enemy turned out to be the one who understood her best. This was really upsetting.

Then, Lin Qingyu looked at Yang Fei and said: "Yang Fei, you’re overthinking it. I’m not going to marry into the Yang family. Even if you wanted to call me ’sister-in-law’, you won’t have a chance."

Yang Fei shot her back a cold smile: "Lin Qingyu, you are also overthinking it. Do you think Yang Gang actually likes you? A prodigal son’s typical behavior is to toy with a woman’s feelings. Just watch out not to fall for it, and don’t cry when you get hurt."

Then, the two stunning women stared at each other.

At this moment, the silent Huang Tianlin finally felt that he should do something. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Both of you are influential figures at Haixing University, you shouldn’t be squabbling like children..."

"Shut up!" Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu both said almost simultaneously.

Huang Tianlin was embarrassed, scratching his head, not daring to say anything more.

Yang Gang watched this scene with great interest. His curiosity grew stronger.

How come Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu, even though their backgrounds are worlds apart, behave like sworn enemies?

There’s something fishy here.

At that moment, the giant screen outside the haunted house suddenly lit up. Yang Gang checked his watch - it was nearly time for the competition.

He stepped between Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu and calmly said: "Ladies..."

Before he had finished speaking, both Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu were about to tell him ’shut up’ simultaneously again. But, Yang Gang turned serious and snapped: "Stop quarrelling, or I’ll call in the entertainment gossip journalists. They should be very interested in this stuff. You both will ’happily’ make the front page, everybody wins. Congratulations."

"How dare you," Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu spoke in unison again.

Yang Gang snorted, reaching for his phone as if to make a call.

The two goddesses panicked. The pre-accident Yang Gang definitely wouldn’t dare, but the post-accident Yang Gang would absolutely do it!"

Both of them immediately gave each other some space, no longer challenging one another.

Though they remained silent, resentment boiled in both their hearts.

"Yang Gang, you’re simply a demon!"

Huang Tianlin also felt bitter. He tried to mediate and found himself scolded by the two women and didn’t dare say another word. Yet, Yang Gang managed to curb Yang Fei and Lin Qingyu’s defiance with his tough attitude, and effectively too.

Why did this happen? Could a gentleman be in the wrong, too?

Young Master Huang felt desolate...

At that moment, the crowd in front of the gigantic outdoor screen began to stir.

Yang Gang looked over, the competition had finally begun.

The contestants participated in the challenge according to their drawn order. Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu’s team were number 50, the last pair. Huang Tianlin and Yang Fei’s team were number 49, the second last pair.

This obstacle course was different from those on TV. It wasn’t broadcast on TV but was live-streamed to the audience outside the haunted house through the giant screen.

Through the live-stream, Yang Gang watched a couple team take on the obstacle course. The first challenge was for the couple to course through individually, the challenge being to cross a log bridge.

In that couple, the man was agile and quickly completed the log bridge challenge. He was not hindered or frightened by ’ghosts’ during the middle. After he finished, he waited for his girlfriend on a circular wooden board on the other side of the log bridge.

His girlfriend’s log bridge also led to this circular wooden board.

However, his girlfriend had only reached the middle of the log bridge. She seemed cautious, fearing any imbalance might cause her to fall into the water. As she was fully focused on maintaining balance, a blood-soaked ’female ghost’ in white suddenly rushed towards her...

The crowd outside the haunted house watching the live-stream let out a commotion, sprinkled with women’s screams.

At that moment, someone tugged at the corner of Yang Gang’s clothing.

Yang Gang turned to look, only to find Lin Qingyu, her face filled with fear, hiding behind him, her hands tightly gripping his clothes.

Pretending to be nonchalant, Yang Gang held her hand and comforted her: "Don’t be scared, ghosts are pseudoscience. You mustn’t let fear overcome your courage."

Lin Qingyu gently responded with a nod, then realized what she had done and instantly yanked her hand away from Yang Gang.

She looked horrified.

"I really need to be vigilant around this jerk Yang Gang!"

From a short distance away, Yang Fei observed Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu flirting and felt uneasy.

"Ugh! Yang Gang is such a prick, doesn’t he see I don’t get along with Lin Qingyu? Why does he insist on being so warm to her! That Lin Qingyu is such a hypocrite, to everyone else she appears blindly loyal to her boyfriend and a pure saint, yet behind his back, she teams up with other men. It’s hilarious!"

Standing beside Yang Fei, Huang Tianlin glanced at Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu and said lightly: "Feifei, I think you should advise Yang Gang. If he continues like this, won’t he end up like Ling Yunfei? Even in our circle of rich kids, Ling Yunfei is not well liked."

Yang Fei gathered herself, then sighed: "I’m his sister, not his girlfriend. I can’t control him."

Huang Tianlin hesitated a moment, then said: "I heard that Yang Gang listens to your sister, maybe she can rein in his behaviour."

"My sister..." Yang Fei looked wistfully up at the sky and let out a bitter laugh. "One can hardly rely on her. In our family, my sister is second only to Grandma in spoiling Yang Gang."

Yang Fei suddenly remembered the last time she refused to give Yang Ya a back massage, her stunning older sister actually wanted Yang Gang to do it for her...

This is ridiculous! Even though we are siblings, we are adults, isn’t this inappropriate no matter how you look at it!

What on earth is my sister thinking?!

Just then, there was some commotion from the crowd in front of the giant screen.

At this moment, an ironic scene occurred in the haunted house’s course challenge.
