She flew into a rage, her face turning a deep purplish-red.

Mingyao blinked her big, innocent eyes. "Isn't that right?"

Before Xu Sitian could retort, Mingyao choked up and stammered, "If I hadn't said something you didn't want to hear, why were you suddenly so angry? And why did you become...so scary?"

"Ms. Xu, I know you are very fond of my husband."

"But my husband likes gentle women like me. He might not be able to handle your bad temper."

Mingyao's face was so sincere that no one could find any fault with it.

Every word she uttered was like a steel needle, piercing precisely into Xu Sitian's body.

Xu Sitian was trembling with anger. She pointed at Ming Yao and said, "Su Xueya, how can you talk so much?"

"I'll beat you up!"

Enraged, Xu Sitian completely lost her temper and raised her hand to strike Mingyao.

Mingyao didn't dodge, but stood still and pretended to be scared by closing her eyes.

In fact, she wasn't worried at all that Xu Sitian could hit her.

Just as Ming Yao had expected, Xu Sitian's hand did not fall, but remained frozen in mid-air.

"Sister Su, don't be afraid."

Pei Zhao gripped Xu Sitian's wrist tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Xu Sitian bit her lip, looking at Ming Yao with a twisted smile: "Su Xueya, you're such a vixen!"

"Xu Sitian, watch your mouth!"

"You keep calling Sister Su a vixen, but aren't you the one who's the real vixen!"

"My uncle and Sister Su are both married, and you're still trying to curry favor with my brother?"

"Xu Sitian, aren't you shameless?"

He snorted and rudely pushed Xu Sitian away.

Xu Sitian clutched her swollen wrist and glared fiercely at Ming Yao and Pei Zhao.

"Hehe, I like Pei Siyu, what's wrong with pursuing him?"

"Su Xueya is just a pretty face, what right does she have to be with Pei Siyu?!"

Over the years, she has spared no effort in contacting Pei Siyu, all in the hope of getting him to turn around and look at her again.

But Pei Siyu had no heart and ignored all her love letters.

Even when she took advantage of her vacation to travel back from abroad, Pei Siyu would use his busy work schedule as an excuse not to see her.

Xu Sitian knew that Pei Zhao didn't like her.

She began to work hard, striving to become as excellent as Pei Siyu.

All for the sake of being able to stand openly and honestly beside Pei Siyu one day.

Xu Sitian devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies, and finally learned in her graduation year that the company was going to return to China for development.

After dealing with her academic issues, she rushed back without stopping.

As soon as she returned to China, she saw photos and videos of Pei Siyu and Mingyao posted by marketing accounts on her phone.

In that instant, Xu Sitian's world collapsed.

She tried so hard to be worthy of Pei Siyu, but in the end, a brainless woman with only a name became his wife.

Xu Sitian was green with envy when she saw Mingyao in the video and the photo.

She had pursued Pei Siyu for so many years, why was Ming Yao able to steal her love away?

Xu Sitian once wanted to destroy Mingyao, but it was only after Madam Pei found her that she gradually calmed down.

Marriage can end in divorce. Pei Siyu will eventually get tired of a brainless idiot like Mingyao.

Behind her are the Xu Group and Madam Pei.

Compared to Mingyao, she has a better chance of winning.

"Xu Sitian, I'm warning you!"

Pei Zhao said righteously, "Don't even think about my uncle!"

“My uncle and Sister Su are truly in love; you can’t just barge in like that.”

"Secondly, part of the reason you were able to get into the branch office is because of Madam Pei."

"Heh," he glared at Xu Sitian with a sinister look and sneered, "Do you think my brother would let you in?"

“If you make a mistake, even Madam Pei can’t protect you!”

Xu Sitian giggled at Pei Zhao: "Mr. Pei, I'm sorry."

"I studied materials science abroad, and I earned this job and the opportunity to work with President Pei through my own abilities."

She crossed her arms, glanced at Mingyao sideways, and said sarcastically, "I'm not like some people."

"Besides her face and figure, she's quite good at seducing men, but I don't know how capable she is at work."

Pei Zhao was furious. If it weren't for the Xu Group behind her...

He had already kicked them out!

"I won't allow you to slander Sister Su like that!"

Xu Sitian raised her head and said triumphantly, "I'm not slandering her at all, I'm just telling the truth."

The tension in the air grew increasingly palpable; if left unchecked, the two might very well come to blows.

Mingyao tugged at Pei Zhao's sleeve, "Pei Zhao, don't worry about me."

"You've already helped me a lot; I'll handle this myself."

"Sister Su, this isn't a matter of who handled it!"

"Xu Sitian has absolutely no respect for you!"

Xu Sitian retorted sarcastically, "Just for speaking a few truths, is that disrespectful?"

Mingyao dared not try to persuade them anymore, since the two of them had started arguing because of her.

If you continue to persuade them, they might start fighting on the spot.

Just as she was wondering how to stop the two of them, Meng Zhenzhen's voice came: "Stop arguing!"

Pei Zhao was very surprised when he saw Meng Zhenzhen.

"What's wrong with you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Zhenzhen rushed over and covered Pei Zhao's mouth with her hand.

Pei Zhao stared wide-eyed at Meng Zhenzhen, puzzled.

Meng Zhenzhen stared intently at him, shaking her head slightly.

Pei Zhao looked puzzled, but he still obediently agreed.

Meng Zhenzhen finally let go of Pei Zhao's mouth. She cleared her throat and took the initiative to mediate: "In the end, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's make money peacefully and stop arguing."

In front of Meng Zhenzhen, Xu Sitian seemed to have lost her temper.

She tossed her hair aside and said casually, "Since you've said that, I won't argue anymore."

She rolled her eyes at Mingyao again, scoffed, and swayed into the company.

Meng Zhenzhen looked at Ming Yao with an awkward smile: "Sister Su, Xu Sitian is just like this, don't take it too seriously."

"Besides, it's time for work now, hurry up and go in."

Meng Zhenzhen rushed into the company first, as if she was afraid of something.

Pei Zhao scratched his head and looked at Ming Yao apologetically: "Sister Su, I'm sorry, I couldn't help."

"It has nothing to do with you."

What puzzled her was Pei Zhao and Xu Sitian's attitude towards Meng Zhenzhen.

Pei Zhao clearly knew Meng Zhenzhen, and was quite familiar with her.

Since Pei Zhao knows her, how could Meng Zhenzhen be an ordinary person? And why would she be working as a receptionist?

"Mr. Pei, what is your relationship with Meng Zhenzhen?"

“It’s alright,” Pei Zhao said decisively.

Mingyao stopped asking questions and returned to her post.

Before entering the elevator, Pei Zhao gave Meng Zhenzhen a meaningful look.

Meng Zhenzhen wore a polite smile, but her glare at Pei Zhao carried a strong warning.

Mingyao became even more convinced that her identity was not simple.

"Meng Zhenzhen, why did you come to work as a receptionist?"

"ah?"

Meng Zhenzhen hesitated and said, "I...didn't I say I'd come here part-time?"
