Chapter 309: Chapter 310 Absurd

Translator: Doggotranslation

“You can just tell them the truth. Why do you have to lie to them? They are your family, right?...” I didn’t like liars, although I often told lies myself.

“I’ve told them that already...”

“Then, what is the point of this?”

Shu Tong said aggrievedly, “but my parents still want to come. They said that I have to find one, even if it is a fake one. Because my grandma wants to see it. If I don’t find one, they will definitely beat me to death...”

“They actually asked you to find a fake boyfriend? !” What kind of parents were they? They actually told her daughter to find a fake one just to make old people happy?

“Mhm...” Shu Tong nodded, but her expression made me confused. It was sad, it was ashamed, and somewhat guilty...

Liusu lightly pinched the back of my hand and explained, “all the girls of the same age as my cousin in the village already have children, but my cousin is still working in the city alone. Naturally, it would cause people in the village to gossip about it. So when my grandma heard it, of course, she would be worried. But after she heard that my cousin found a rich and handsome boyfriend in a big city, she immediately told everyone in the village. Now that everyone knew about it, how embarrassing it would be for her to tell other people in the village that her granddaughter was dumped by the man? The most important thing for the old people was their face. If she was not allowed to come to see her future grandson-in-law this time, the villagers would inevitably begin to gossip about it and probably say something bad about my cousin. My grandma is in bad health. My uncle and aunt are worried that she would not be able to bear the rumors and the shock of losing face...”

So that was what happened... Shu Tong had completely dug her own grave.

“Then why do you have to find me?” I was confused, “rich and handsome? But I have no money...”

“You are not handsome either...”

“What did you just say? !”

“I said, if you don’t have money, you can pretend to be rich.” Shu Tong had obviously made a detailed plan, “at that time, we can rent a larger house and rent a better car.” She said.

“Rent? Shu Tong, how much do you earn a month? Your school has just been relocated, and your dormitory has not yet been allocated. The reason why you are currently living with Liusu is mainly that the rent is very expensive, right?” It was not that I was trying to mock her, I was just stating the fact. “How much is it a month to rent a big furnished house? I think it will definitely cost a few months of your salary!”

“I don’t need to rent it a month, I just need to rent it one day,” Shu Tong’s serious look almost drove me crazy, “my parents will still need to take care of farms, so they won’t stay in the city for long. They will only stay for a few days.”

“One day? Do you think this is renting a room from a hotel?” I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry, “do people even rent out a big house for just a day?”

Shu Tong nodded affirmatively, “Yes, they do!”

“Where is it?”

“Your home,” Shu Tong looked at Liusu and said, “Liusu said that you have a quite big house. It is one hundred and sixty square meters. It has four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms...”

“You are talking about my parents’ house!” I interrupted Shu Tong and looked at Liusu with questioning eyes. But the bratty girl quickly looked away in guilt.

“Isn’t your parents’ house yours?” Shu Tong pleaded, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble to your parents. Don’t they need to go to work during the day? At that time, while they are not at home, we can take my grandma to see your house and prove that you are a rich young man with a car and a house in the city. Of course, I won’t borrow it for free. I will rent it.”

“This is not a question of renting or borrowing! Let me ask you. What if your grandma comes to the house and insists on seeing my parents? Do you want my parents to help you to cover up this lie?” My stepmother would not mind it. She was the kind of person who would love to help other people. But my old man was different. What he disliked the most was lairs...

“You can just say that only you and your little sister live in the house. Your parents don’t live in Bei Tian City. Then my parents will cooperate with us. My grandma definitely won’t live in your house,” Shu Tong patted on my shoulder and said confidently, “I will be responsible for the cost of booking a room in a three-star hotel in your name. What do you think? It is a great idea, right?”

“Great idea my ass.” I retorted.

“You got a better idea?” Shu Tong said with a dispirited tone.

“No,” I glanced at the Liusu and said, “pretending to be your boyfriend? No matter how I think of it, it still sounds very absurd. I need time to think about it.”

I hesitated, not just because of Liusu, but because my conscience told me that deceiving a simple old woman was not the right thing. I might go to hell because of it.

“Why do you need to think about it?” Liusu was not happy. She said with a sulky tone, “why is it absurd when we ask you to pretend to my cousin’s boyfriend, but it is not absurd when the police ask Sister Xiaoye to pretend to be your girlfriend?”

I was dazed and smiled bitterly, “this is not the same thing...”

“For me, it is the same thing. Both are very serious things!” Liusu said in a huff, “since they are both very serious, why is it okay that other people can pretend to be your girlfriend, but you can’t pretend to be my cousin’s boyfriend? The latter can make an old woman happy, while the former will only make me very unhappy. But even so, I can still understand you. But why can’t you understand me? Nan Nan, I just want to ask you one question, do you agree to it or not?”

...

Although Shu Tong said it was her treat, as the only man in this dinner, it was still me who paid the bill in the end.

On the way to send Yao Wan’er, Liu Su, and Shu Tong home, no one said anything.

Before the meal, everyone had something to say, but we all felt embarrassed to say the things we wanted to say in front of other people; but now, after all the things that needed to be said were said, it made the atmosphere even more awkward, so no one wanted to speak.

After Liusu vented her dissatisfaction toward the arrangement that Dong Xiaoye would pretend to be my girlfriend and live in my flat, Dong Xiaoye felt very embarrassed to say anything in front of Shu Tong. And Shu Tong also didn’t want Dong Xiaoye to know that she was asking such embarrassing help from me, so she didn’t say anything in the car, but she still kept staring at me vigilantly. In terms of Yao Wan’er, she didn’t believe my words at all. She was still suspecting my relationship with Mo Fei, and the strange relationship between Liusu and Mo Fei…

Being caught in the middle of the complicated gazes of the four women, I had a strange feeling that no matter what I do or say, it would still cause the four women to despise me, so in the end, I chose to remain silent.

This kind of tacit silence was broken until only Dong Xiaoye and I was left in the car.

“No way! Liusu actually agreed to let you be Shu Tong’s boyfriend? !” Dong Xiaoye was surprised. She looked at me in disbelief.

“Watch the cars! Cars!” Seeing Dong Xiaoye stabilize the car again, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and said grumblingly, “she can agree to let you impersonate my girlfriend, why can’t I agree to pretend to be her cousin’s boyfriend?”

In the end, I failed to refuse Shu Tong’s request because Liusu had already made the decision for me. After she got out of the car, she told me to take a good rest and not to move too much, like a meek housewife. But the gentleness she showed couldn’t calm my frustrated mood. This bratty girl even threatened me…

“How can it be the same?” Dong Xiaoye said, “I am a policewoman, and my task is to protect you. But Shu Tong is her cousin and their relationship... Anyway, this is so awkward.”

“Not just you, I also feel very awkward.” It was not that I didn’t want to keep the secrets for Shu Tong, but that Dong Xiaoye would protect me for some time in the future. I definitely would not be able to keep this from Sister Tiger. So to prevent her from making any mistakes and then causing the entire plan to fall apart, it was still better to tell her everything. After all, at the moment, Dong Xiaoye was my fake girlfriend…

One real and two fakes. All of sudden, I had three girlfriends. I didn’t know if I should feel fortunate or unfortunate.

When I got out of the car, I almost fell to the ground. The reason was that the sudden pain that occurred in my leg caused my leg to lose strength. It was so painful that I was unable to get up immediately. It was only with Dong Xiaoye’s help that I was finally able to get up in the end.

“I think you should live in the hospital. If you don’t want to, then you should listen to the doctor and get a crutch.” After arriving on the fourth floor, Dong Xiaoye was almost as exhausted as me.

“Why do I need a crutch? I once broke my leg when I was in college. My mother insisted on buying me a wheelchair. It is still in the basement of my parent’s house, I can get that tomorrow.” I didn’t want Chu Yuan to know that my leg hurt. Otherwise, she would constantly nag at me. So while opening the door, I changed the subject and said, “By the way, Sister Xiaoye, did something happen between you and Shu Tong? You two don’t seem to get along with each other?”

Dong Xiaoye was startled at first, and then snorted disdainfully, “nothing happened, I just don’t like the ambiguous words she said to me last time. She said that Mo Fei left because she had something else to do, but what really happened was that what she said was so unpleasant to ears that she decided to leave first.”
