She couldn't very well say that Pei Siyu in the car was her husband.

Xia Kexing seized on her words, raised her chin slightly, and said with a mocking smile, "That's because you've been cheating on your husband with other women."

"nonsense!"

Mingyao got anxious and deliberately retorted with a tearful voice, "Xia Kexing, can you please stop spreading rumors about me?!"

The more anxious she became, the more smug Xia Kexing felt, believing she had hit Mingyao where it hurt.

"Oh dear, she looks so wronged she's about to cry!"

Xia Kexing made a series of mocking clicks of her tongue.

He then approached Mingyao, pouting, and said, "Are you upset that I wronged you?"

"Then why don't you just tell everyone who your husband is, and I won't misunderstand anymore?"

Xia Kexing feigned concern and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that Mingyao was holding back from the corners of her eyes. "Sigh, even when a beautiful woman cries, she looks so pitiful and endearing. Why would she be so foolish as to find a pig-headed sugar daddy?"

Mingyao turned her head away, took her hand away, and a chill appeared in her eyes when no one could see her.

Xia Kexing, that idiot, really thinks she's a little white rabbit that she can manipulate at will!

"Xia Kexing, are you jealous of me?"

Mingyao's eyes were red, but her tone was firm and resolute.

"Are you crazy?!"

She looked at Mingyao incredulously, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Why do you think I'm jealous of you, you vixen?"

Xia Kexing approached Mingyao, raising her voice several decibels and spitting everywhere.

Mingyao shrank back a few steps, her little face still scrunched up.

She pursed her lower lip and took two steps back, inwardly disgusted that Xia Kexing's spittle had sprayed onto her.

"If you're not jealous of me, why are you causing me trouble every few days since you just joined the company?"

Before Xia Kexing could argue, Mingyao continued, "Don't use past grievances as an excuse. So much time has passed, and I've already apologized."

Xia Kexing chuckled, rolled her eyes, and retorted, "What evidence do you have that you're jealous of me?"

Mingyao said weakly, "You've been paying attention to me all this time. You even spread rumors that I'm seducing male colleagues when I talk to them. When I said I was getting married, you spread rumors that I was being kept by a sugar daddy. If this isn't jealousy, then what is it?"

"Everyone thinks you're jealous of me, right?"

After speaking, she turned her gaze to her colleagues, looking at them expectantly.

Many people agree with Mingyao, while many others disapprove of Xia Kexing's actions.

"Xia Kexing, you've gone too far."

"Just because Su Xueya is unwilling to disclose her marriage partner doesn't mean she's being kept by a sugar daddy."

"yes."

Xia Kexing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "What kind of evidence is this? Getting married so mysteriously, what else could it be but being kept by a sugar daddy?"

Mingyao took a few steps back and said fearfully, "You said you weren't jealous of me."

"You're so jealous of me you're almost going crazy, throwing all sorts of dirty water at me."

She forced out tears, letting them well up in her eyes, "Xia Kexing, it's fine if you're jealous of me, but spreading rumors is wrong of you."

Seeing this, Xia Kexing was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Mingyao and suck her marrow dry.

You can say she's jealous of anyone, but saying she's jealous of Su Xueya is disgusting!

"You have absolutely no evidence that I'm jealous of you."

"Your repeated attempts to smear me are proof of that."

"Ha, I hate you! I can't stand your behavior!" Xia Kexing said through gritted teeth, the words almost squeezed out from between her teeth, showing how angry she was.

Mingyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, a sly glint flashing in her eyes before disappearing in her tearful gaze. "Even with irrefutable evidence, you won't admit it. So why are you so certain that I'm being kept? And you're even spreading rumors that my husband is a fat, pig-headed man!"

Xia Kexing was about to say something.

Mingyao retorted quickly, "Even elementary school students know that seeing is believing and hearing is deceiving. Have you ever seen my husband? Do you know how old my husband is? How can you be so sure that I'm being kept?"

"Who is spreading these rumors?!"

The string of words left Xia Kexing speechless.

Mingyao's words were clear, logical, and impossible to refute.

Xia Kexing fabricated the story out of thin air; she could not produce any evidence.

Pei Zhao looked at Ming Yao with a mixture of surprise and delight, his gaze even more ardent than before.

Her first impression of Mingyao was that she was delicate and beautiful, and her second impression was that she was down-to-earth, unlike other beauties who tried hard to create an otherworldly fairy persona.

Unexpectedly, Mingyao gave him another surprise.

Beneath that seemingly weak and vulnerable exterior lies such a sharp and witty tongue!

How many aspects of Su Xueya are still unknown to him?

She noticed Pei Zhao's burning gaze, the look of a wild beast eyeing its prey.

Originally, Pei Zhao only saw her as a novel toy, but now her image has been completely elevated.

But it doesn't matter, she has already achieved her goal.

Mingyao toned down her aggressive demeanor and reverted to her delicate and aggrieved appearance. "Xia Kexing, I hope you can give me an apology."

Xia Kexing was unwilling, but her colleagues were all staring at her with unfriendly eyes, so even though she felt very aggrieved, she could only swallow her anger.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you."

Mingyao's eyes curved into beautiful crescent shapes as she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

I finally got my revenge.

Her radiant and bright smile is like the spring sun in April, and it is very healing.

Seeing this, Xia Kexing's colleagues glared at her even more fiercely.

The supervisor, with a stern face, just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible. "Alright, now that you've apologized, everyone can leave."

If it weren't for Pei Zhao, that little devil, standing there, he would have already started kicking people out.

"etc."

A voice suddenly rang out.

The supervisor had just breathed a sigh of relief when his heart jumped again. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Zhao's face was gloomy, and the usually cheerful young man became serious and cold at this moment. "Since everyone is here, I have something to say."

"Anyone who spreads rumors or causes trouble in the future must be dealt with seriously!"

He glanced at Xia Kexing sideways, his gaze as cold as ice, full of warning.

"Yes." The supervisor replied, then glared at Xia Kexing.

Letting her jump so high, she'll get what's coming to her if she provokes CEO Pei!

Xia Kexing's face paled even more. She lowered her head, her eyes surging with hatred.

Sooner or later, I'll find something to use against Su Xueya and make her suffer an irreparable fate!

After Pei Zhao left, his colleagues dispersed in twos and threes.

"Xia Kexing, come to my office."

Xia Kexing was called away by her supervisor, and her colleagues were a mix of schadenfreude and pity.

Mingyao's expression remained calm, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Talking isn't enough to vent my anger; I should have pulled Xia Kexing's hair hard.

After a long day at work, Mingyao dragged her tired body and prepared to take a taxi home.

She stood by the roadside watching the cars come and go, when the roar of a motorcycle suddenly came from behind her and then stopped abruptly.

"Miss, would you like me to give you a ride?"
