Mai Ding just wouldn't open the door. 'So what if I am backing out of our deal. I am definitely not going.'

'If you do not come out this instance, you are going to get it for the rest of the year!' Mai Ding's dad shouted from outside Mai Ding's room. He was furious because he had planned this matchmaking lunch for some time. He couldn't just back out now. It was now a matter of face.

Hearing the threat, Mai Ding got a little scared. He called An Ziyan, begging him to help him, 'An Ziyan, what should I do? My dad is going to flip. I am afraid I can't hold the fort any longer. He even threatened me. He said that I'm going to get it for the rest of the year.'

AnZiyan was roused from his sleep. 'If you go, I'll kill you.' And after saying that, he hung up, obviously going back to sleep.

Poor Mai Ding, caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Mai Ding's mother was now furiously pounding his door, shouting, 'Mai Ding you little shit. If you don't open the door, I'm really going to get angry.'

Pushed to a corner, Mai Ding blurted, 'I already have a girlfriend.'

Suddenly there was peace. Mai Ding opened the door and saw a look of shock on both his parents' faces. Mai Ding's mother began, 'If you are saying this to get yourself out of this date, you can forget it. I am not so gullible.'

'It's true. I have no reason to lie to you.'

'Why didn't you say so yesterday?'

'The time's not right. But right now since the both of you are forcing me to go, I have no choice but to tell you the truth.' Mai Ding's ability to lie was also top-notch.

'Do you have her photo?' Mai Ding's mother asked, refusing to believe.

'No I don't.'

'You have a picture of your handsome dorm mate but you don't even carry a photo of your girlfriend? Do you think I'm stupid?'

'She hates taking photos. That's not my fault, right?'

'Do you think I will believe you so easily? You call her right now. Let me talk to her. In that way, I will believe you and I will let you off the hook.' Mai Ding's mother was rather persistent herself.

Mai Ding didn't know what to do. He didn't know his mother would also have her own tactics. All his life, he had been under the control of powerful women and all his friends had been guys. The women he could think of right at that point in time were An Su and Ellen. Both of them would not do. Suddenly, he thought of the perfect candidate: Bai Xiaosi.

Mai Ding's life was definitely tragic. The three women he could think of was all due to his relationship with An Ziyan. Luckily he kept Bai Xiaosi's number from the last time. He only hoped that Xiaosi would be quick enough to understand what was going on.

Bai Xiaosi was packing her stuff when her phone rang. She saw that it was Mai Ding calling her and answered the call. 'What's wrong now? Is An Ziyan bullying you again?'

'Hello my dear.' Mai Ding used his most seductive voice.

Bai Xiaosi nearly puked.

'My dear, what are you doing now? Are you awake? My mother wanted to talk to my girlfriend. Do you mind saying a few words to her?'

Before she could say anything, she heard an older woman's voice greeting her. 'Hello? Are you really Mai Ding's girlfriend?'
