Mingyao twitched her lips and rolled her eyes.

Flies don't care if there's a crack in the egg; they'll bite whenever they want.

Mingyao only dared to mutter a few complaints in her heart, and didn't dare to actually say them out loud.

She finally managed to dispel Meng Yan's suspicions about her.

Mingyao rubbed her hair, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when the sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Before Mingyao could react, Pei Zhao rushed forward and stood between Mingyao and Meng Yan.

He nervously shielded Mingyao behind him, glaring angrily at Meng Yan, "Mom, what are you doing!"

"Don't believe everything you hear, okay?"

He turned to Mingyao with a guilty look on his face, apologizing repeatedly, as if he were the one who had done something wrong.

"Sister Su, I'm sorry, did my mom hurt you?"

Mingyao's hair was piled up on her head like a bird's nest, clearly Meng Yan's doing.

He raised his hand, wanting to check the condition of Mingyao's head.

Before he even touched Mingyao, Mingyao retreated as if she had been electrocuted, afraid that Pei Zhao would touch her.

This is insane! This is insane!

Pei Zhao has really gone mad.

What is he doing?

She finally managed to convince Meng Yan that she and Pei Zhao were innocent.

Pei Zhao, on the other hand, made her go straight back to square one!

Meng Yan keenly noticed Pei Zhao's odd behavior. She rushed over and stared intently at Pei Zhao and Ming Yao.

"What happened?"

Her sharp, penetrating gaze swept across Mingyao's face as she angrily said, "Didn't you say you had nothing to do with my son?"

"What is it now?"

Meng Yan became more and more agitated as she spoke, her whole body like a cat with its fur standing on end. "Su Xueya, how dare you lie to me!"

She lunged at Mingyao, baring her teeth and claws, as if to tear Mingyao to pieces and devour her.

The situation suddenly turned bad, catching Pei Zhao completely off guard.

He quickly stopped Meng Yan, saying anxiously, "Mom, are you crazy?!"

"I have absolutely no relationship with Sister Su!"

Meng Yan didn't believe it at all and retorted hysterically, "You have no relationship with her, so what do you mean by calling her 'sister' all the time?"

"Pei Zhao, I've spoiled you too much!"

"You're not only useless and spend your days hanging out with your cronies, but you even dare to get involved with a married woman!"

Meng Yan's tears fell in streams as she wailed and pointed at Ming Yao, cursing loudly.

"You vixen, have you no shame?"

"You're already married, and you're still seducing my son!"

"You bitch, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Meng Yan completely lost her mind and tried her best to pounce on Ming Yao.

If Pei Zhao hadn't stopped her in time, Meng Yan would have already scratched Hua Mingyao's face.

"Mom, calm down!"

"Sister Su is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion broke out.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a reporter carrying a camera running into the company without regard for anything else.

There were so many reporters that even the security guards couldn't stop the massive throngs of reporters who swarmed in like flies, drawn by the scent of the place.

In the blink of an eye, two or three reporters broke through the security guards' defenses, and other reporters, seeing this, pushed aside the others and swarmed over.

The once empty hall was suddenly packed with people.

Mingyao, Pei Zhao, and Meng Yan became the target of public criticism, with reporters surrounding the three of them.

A barrage of questions came flooding in, making Mingyao's ears ring.

The situation was so sudden that Meng Yan was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected so many reporters to suddenly rush in.

These reporters not only surrounded Mingyao and Pei Zhao, but also grabbed Mingyao's colleagues and pressed them for information about Mingyao.

The once orderly company was now thrown into chaos by the reporters, like ants in a pot that had been set on fire.

"Mrs. Meng, is your son really Su Xueya's lover?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yan exploded and, without thinking twice, began to verbally abuse Ming Yao in front of the camera.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"How could my son possibly be that bitch's lover?"

"He shamelessly seduced my son!"

The reporter pressed further: "Mrs. Meng, do you mean that Su Xueya really seduced your son?"

Meng Yan twisted her face, glaring at Ming Yao with uncontrollable rage, "You bitch, still won't admit it?"

Mingyao twitched her lips, unsure whether Meng Yan was genuinely stupid or simply too angry.

Unaware of the truth, she appeared to be questioning Pei Zhao in front of the media, but in reality, she was also indirectly slandering Pei Zhao.

Pei Zhao's face turned as black as coal, and he said firmly, "Which company do you reporters belong to?"

"Your unauthorized trespassing has infringed upon our company's rights!"

Reporters are only interested in headlines these days; they don't care about anything else.

They shoved microphones near Pei Zhao's mouth and shouted, "Mr. Pei, are you admitting to your affair with Su Xueya?"

"Mr. Pei is so handsome and rich, why doesn't he date? Is it because he likes married women?"

The reporters' questions became increasingly outrageous, and Pei Zhao, unable to tolerate it any longer, shouted, "Security, throw them all out!"

He shielded Mingyao behind him, afraid that she would get hurt.

Reporters snapped photos of Mingyao and Pei Zhao with their cameras.

Meng Yan was stunned when she saw this scene.

In this critical moment, Pei Zhao completely forgot about his mother's existence, his heart and mind were filled with thoughts of Ming Yao!

"Pei Zhao, are you crazy?!"

Meng Yan grabbed Pei Zhao's arm and glared at him angrily, "Even at a time like this, you're still defending Su Xueya!"

"She's a vixen!"

Pei Zhao was both angry and anxious, "Mom, you've really gone mad! Sister Su isn't some vixen, she's my..."
