[Yang Menghuo POV]

*Witch Daiyu is Calling.*

Yang Menghuo\'s mood was ruined instantly the moment he saw the caller\'s name. He had the urge to just press the red button and block this number forever. Actually, Menghuo did that once, but this witch called his mother, Madam Evelynn Yang, and told her that Yang Menghuo blocked her for an unknown reason.

His mother would always take Li Daiyu\'s side because she was the only woman that fit Madam Yang\'s criteria of a suitable wife for Menghuo, both on looks and family background.

But Yang Menghuo didn\'t like her a bit. Because Li Daiyu was the type of woman that Menghuo hated the most, vain, spoiled, and an attention-seeker.

"Who is calling you?" Shi Ying asked.

"A witch," Menghuo replied.. "A witchy witch."

"A witch?" Shi Ying frowned. "It\'s not kind to name someone a witch, you know. It\'s rude and makes you sound like you hate her."

"Yeah, I know, that\'s intentional," Menghuo replied nonchalantly. He ignored the call for a while, and then Li Daiyu continued calling him again and again. Menghuo knew Li Daiyu would not give up, so he just sighed. He didn\'t want to dirty Ying Jie\'s ear with Li Daiyu\'s voice, so he walked away to the aisle next to them and accepted the call.

"What?" Menghuo asked.

"Mengmeng, how can you be so naughty, teasing me like this?" Li Daiyu said. "Do you know that I\'m waiting for you in my hotel room, right? You can always come to my room. The door is not locked for you. You can see me in lingerie only."

"Stop saying something like that, so gross."

"Aww, Don\'t you want to see me in my silk Coco de Mer lingerie?" Li Daiyu rolled on the bed. She was wearing silk lingerie, thinking that she could seduce Menghuo at least once. Li Daiyu felt very confident with her body that was wrapped in lingerie, though. She was 100% sure that no normal man would reject her. But Yang Menghuo was not a normal man. Daiyu thought that Menghuo was bent, so she didn\'t care much because she didn\'t have to compete with other women. She believed she could \'unbent\' him with her beauty.

Until she got a picture from Madam Yang\'s subordinate that her MengMeng had a new girlfriend.

\'GIRL\'FRIEND.

"MengMeng, I heard that you got a new girlfriend. So you are not gay, huh? That\'s good. I don\'t want a childless marriage after all, hahaha."

"It\'s none of your business. I\'m on a date with her, so don\'t disturb me," Menghuo warned. But before he hung up the call, Li Daiyu snipped first;

"MengMeng, I just checked your girlfriend\'s picture. I thought she must be someone on par with me, a Victoria Secret model. Well, let\'s just say that the reality doesn\'t match my expectation."

"What do you mean?"

"Hm… I\'m just wondering how the baby will look like if you two got married. Hopefully, the baby will look more like you, or that baby might be bullied at school for looking like an ape, ahahaha—"

Beep.

Yang Menghuo hung up the call immediately. He didn\'t have time to cater to this toxic woman. Li Daiyu was always like that as she always thought that she was above everyone else. And the fact that she was one of the top international models right now didn\'t help either, as they kept stroking her ego.

\'What\'s with her fixation about beauty anyway. I love Ying Jie the way she is—\'

\'Wait, love?\' Yang Menghuo shook his head. \'Okay, Menghuo, you are starting to get ridiculous here. Remember, don\'t give too much hope to someone you don\'t like. It will be troublesome later.\'

***

Li Daiyu shrugged when Yang Menghuo hung up the call. She didn\'t expect Menghuo to continue listening while his \'girlfriend\' was being slandered anyway.

What she didn\'t expect was… the fact that Menghuo would pick a random, ugly, and fat woman to be his fake girlfriend.

"MengMeng can be so tasteless sometimes. I mean, if you want to have a fake girlfriend, at least hire someone better looking," Li Daiyu said. "Well, it is a useless struggle anyway. No matter how many fake girlfriends he has, he will eventually get engaged with me, as long as I get Aunty Yang\'s support."

Li Daiyu called Aunty Evelynn Yang, and after a while, the latter picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, Aunty Yang," Li Daiyu resumed her sweet voice. "Are you still in Paris right now?"

"Yes, I\'m going to attend a fashion show soon. What about you? I told Menghuo to pick you up at the airport yesterday, right?" Madam Yang asked.

"Well, he said that he is busy with his new girlfriend. Aunty Yang, have you checked the photos that your men sent to you about Menghuo\'s new girlfriend."

"Not yet. I\'m still busy here. What about it? Is she as pretty and proper as you? I don\'t think Menghuo can find someone better than you," Madam Yang said.

"Exactly. I mean, I don\'t mind if he has a girlfriend. I\'d admit defeat if his new girlfriend is a proper woman for him to bring. But unfortunately, I don\'t think she is even worth to be your housemaid, Aunty Yang."

"That bad?" Madam Yang frowned. She wouldn\'t mind if her son finally found a proper lady that she can show. She preferred Li Daiyu because their family had a business relationship. Li Daiyu was also a top model approved by Madam Yang personally. She would be a perfect wife for Menghuo.

"Hm, let me see his new girlfriend later," Madam Yang said as she hung up the call.

Li Daiyu grinned, "Poor girl… oh well, her fault for being ugly."
