Chapter 815: Chapter 819: Another Fake Boyfriend

"A curse? What do you mean?" Xue Yao asked in surprise.

"Well, someone with a love constitution like yours, who easily falls in love but can’t find true love, is generally considered to be cursed, right?" Bai Tong said.

Xue Yao blinked, a slight sweat forming, and she patted Bai Tong’s shoulder, "I mean, bestie, you’re already a mom, how can you still be fantasizing like a little girl? Curses and all, aren’t they just feudal superstitions?"

"That’s true.."

"However.." At this moment, Xue Yao seemed to remember something, and added, "Now that you mention it, I think I really have been cursed by someone before."

"Ah, what happened?"

Xue Yao smiled, "It’s not really a curse, just an argument. I told her she wouldn’t find a boyfriend. Then she said, although I could find a boyfriend, I wouldn’t be able to find true love. And she actually hit the nail on the head with that."

Just then, the door of the private room opened, and Yang Gang walked in and said, "Yaoyao sister, who is this woman you’re talking about?"

"Actually, I don’t know her. Oh, right, I heard her companion seem to call her Sister Xiaoxi," Xue Yao said.

Yang Gang covered his face with one hand, "Figures!"

"Yang Gang, what’s wrong?"

Yang Gang composed himself and said with a faint smile, "It’s nothing, I was just curious. You don’t even know each other; how did the argument turn to the topic of love?"

"It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you slowly once you get to our Xue family." Xue Yao said.

Yang Gang did not pursue the matter further, and with a light smile he said, "If it ever was a curse, finding the person who cast it could probably break it."

"But I only met that woman by chance, I don’t know her. In this vast sea of people, I’m afraid I might never encounter her again in this lifetime," Xue Yao said.

Yang Gang smiled and did not say much.

He was now almost certain that the curse had been cast by Su Xiaoxi, but it might have been an unconscious action on her part.

Because Su Xiaoxi, although not exactly a virtuous woman, was definitely not the kind to cast such a heavy curse on someone just because of an argument.

After dinner, Xue Yao turned to Bai Tong and said, "Tongtong, you know our house is far from here, and Jincheng is so chaotic right now. I want Yang Gang to take me back, you don’t mind, do you?"

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Bai Tong’s mouth, "The way you put it... Yang Gang and I are not a couple; there’s no need to ask my opinion."

"Then it’s settled." Xue Yao hooked her arm into Yang Gang’s and smiled, "Could young Yang Gang give me a ride back?"

"Uh, sure," Yang Gang nodded.

After saying goodbye to Bai Tong, Yang Gang drove away in a minicooper.

Xue Yao sat in the front passenger seat.

She turned her head to look at Yang Gang and smiled, "You seem quite surprised."

"Uh, yes. I never expected someone of your status to drive such an inexpensive car. Usually, ladies of your background pay a lot of attention to appearances, driving Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and such."

Xue Yao laughed lightly, "A car is just a means of transport. Truly impressive people, even if they drive an Alto, won’t lose face. Besides, I quite like the mini car model."

"Yaoyao sister, you’re quite exceptional among the wealthy heiresses."

Xue Yao laughed, she pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Well, Yang Gang, there’s something I want to ask you for a favor."

Yang Gang was startled, then chuckled and said, "Hmm, Yaoyao sister, whatever you want to command, just say it directly, no need to be so polite."

Xue Yao hesitated for a moment but still said, "I’d like you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit."

"What?"

"It’s like this," Xue Yao hurriedly continued, "Australia is now occupied by monsters, you know that, right?"

Yang Gang nodded his head.

"Originally, Australia had a population of twenty to thirty million people. After being occupied by monsters, the original residents of Australia all fled in panic. Aside from a portion of the upper-class elite who went to Earth Federation to continue their lavish lifestyles, many refugees have sought asylum in the Xilan Republic, which is closest to Australia. They have been settled in refugee camps by the Xilan Government, but the living conditions are very poor. I want to aid them."

Xue Yao paused, then continued, "Actually, I used to have a Lamborghini, but I sold it and exchanged it for food and bedding to give to the refugees. However, because there are too many refugees, what I provided is just a drop in the bucket. I applied to the family’s Elder Council for large-scale aid for the Australian refugees. The elders agreed but on one condition; I must get married. They think that at 26 years old, I’m considered an old maid and if I don’t marry soon, it will affect our family’s reputation. The elders heard that I currently have a boyfriend and asked me to bring him home for their assessment. But who would have thought Du Fu would be that kind of man."

"Temporarily faking as a boyfriend is okay," Yang Gang scratched his head, "but marriage..."

"Don’t worry, I know you have a girlfriend, and I won’t force a marriage. The elders said that if I bring my boyfriend home tonight and they think he’s suitable, they will donate one hundred million US dollars to the Red Cross specifically responsible for the Australian refugees in Xilan. This amount of money should be enough to slightly improve the refugees’ lives. We’ll discuss the rest later."

Xue Yao paused again, then added, "Besides, this is something you are responsible for as well. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have broken up with Du Fu tonight, leaving me unable to explain the situation to my family."

"Ha~" Yang Gang broke into a cold sweat; strictly speaking, what Xue Yao said wasn’t wrong.

He pondered briefly, then nodded his head, "Alright then."

Yang Gang wasn’t overly worried about being caught in the act. Within the entire Xue family, aside from Yang Fei, only Xue Chen knew Yang Gang’s identity. But according to the intelligence Yang Gang had at hand, Xue Chen had left Xilan yesterday.

In other words, as long as Yang Fei doesn’t expose him, with his exquisite acting, no one in the Xue family would suspect the identity of the fake boyfriend.

At this moment, at the Xue family residence.

Jincheng was surrounded by mountains on three sides, but due to excessive mining, most of the mountaintops had become bare. However, three independent mountains were still lush with greenery and blossoming flowers. These three mountains belonged to Xilan’s three great families: the Xue Clan, Chris, and Annuo.

Bamboo Peak, famous for its abundance of green bamboo, stood 1000 meters tall, covering about 2000 acres, and the entire mountain was owned by Xilan’s Xue Clan.

At the summit of Bamboo Peak, a palace-like residence of considerable size stood on level ground, which was the main branch of the Xue family.

The main hall of the residence was filled with people.

"It’s already eight o’clock, how come Yaoyao still hasn’t brought her boyfriend back?" A female elder sat at the center of the main hall, tapping her fingers on the table.

"Great Elder, Yaoyao just called me, she has already brought someone back."

"Hmm, that’s good. It’s a bit too much to keep everyone waiting just for her," the Great Elder said.

Another elder sitting next to her chuckled, "The Great Elder’s heart changes quickly, you used to dote on Yaoyao the most, and no matter how willful she was, you wouldn’t blame her. But ever since Feifei came back, Yaoyao has become the second favorite, and you’ve become stricter with her."

The Great Elder rolled her eyes, "Nonsense. I doted on Yaoyao before because she was a child, but now Yaoyao is 26 years old, being willful now just shows she’s immature. I’m not so senile that I can’t discipline Yaoyao for her mistakes; it’s only natural she gets scolded."

The Great Elder glanced around and added, "Where is Feifei?"

"Oh, she’s in the back courtyard. This is the Elder Council’s ceremonial hall; even family members can’t enter at will," an elder said.

The Great Elder waved her hand dismissively, "Today isn’t for discussing official business, but to observe Yaoyao’s boyfriend; the opinions of young people are more pertinent. Call Feifei and the others over; let us all help Yaoyao screen him."
