Wei Ning's smile vanished instantly.

Mingyao said firmly, "If I say I'll take responsibility, then I will."

"There's no need for you, sister-in-law, to worry about company matters."

Wei Ning's lips twitched, and she forced a smile: "Since you've said so, I won't worry about the company's affairs anymore."

At this moment, Qin Jiaojiao walked over quickly.

As soon as Mingyao raised her eyes, Qin Jiaojiao raised her hand and slapped Mingyao hard across the face.

The sound of a snap was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.

Mingyao's face was numb and burning on one side. She covered her face, her fingertips trembling.

Qin Jiaojiao stared at Ming Yao with bloodshot eyes.

"It's all your fault!"

"If it weren't for you, how could Brother Pei have had this accident?"

Everyone present was stunned.

After Pei Zhao came to his senses, he glared angrily at Qin Jiaojiao.

"Qin Jiaojiao, this has nothing to do with Sister Su!"

"What do you mean by hitting someone right away?"

Qin Jiaojiao sneered: "Sister Su?"

"You keep calling her 'Sister Su,' Pei Zhao, you don't actually like her, do you?!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Pei Zhao became even angrier: "Apologize to Sister Su right now!"

Mingyao clenched her fist.

While Qin Jiaojiao and Pei Zhao were arguing fiercely, Mingyao grabbed Qin Jiaojiao's hair directly.

She used to act, trying to portray herself as an innocent, naive girl.

Pei Siyu is currently in a coma, and it's unknown when he will wake up.

If she continues to play the innocent victim, she will eventually be taken advantage of by the Pei family.

Mingyao grabbed Qin Jiaojiao's hair tightly, her eyes cold.

"Apologize!"

Qin Jiaojiao screamed and covered her head, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.

She grabbed Mingyao's wrist: "You're crazy, let go of me!"

Mingyao remained unmoved and sneered, "Qin Jiaojiao, I've put up with you for a long time!"

"I'm letting you off the hook because of my husband, but do you really think you can do whatever you want to me?"

Mingyao gripped even tighter, gritting her teeth as she said, "Apologize immediately!"

"Or I'll shave your head!"

Her fierce demeanor stunned everyone present.

My impression of Mingyao is that she is weak and frail, as if she would fall over if the wind blew her down.

The current Mingyao has changed completely; she's sharp and assertive, and looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

Mingyao practically ripped Qin Jiaojiao's scalp off.

She cried and begged for forgiveness, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Qin Jiaojiao, I'm warning you!"

I don't care who you are!

"From now on, know your place. If you dare to seduce Pei Siyu again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Mingyao dumped Qin Jiaojiao.

Qin Jiaojiao collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Mingyao clapped her hands and looked at the shocked Pei family members without changing her expression.

Does anyone have any further comments?

Mingyao crossed her legs and sat down with an air of authority: "I'm all ears."

Seeing Mingyao's stance in beating Qin Jiaojiao, everyone present looked at each other in dismay. Even if they were given the courage, they wouldn't dare say anything more about Mingyao.

Pei Chongyang chuckled dryly, "I never expected Miss Su to have this side to her."

"Haha, women really are strong!"

Pei Zhao stared blankly at Ming Yao, his jaw nearly dropping in shock.

He didn't see wrong, did he?

Mingyao actually hit Qin Jiaojiao.

He now finds it unbelievable, even feeling like he's dreaming, when he recalls Mingyao's arrogant and domineering behavior just now.

That's incredible.

The nanny pushed Mr. Pei in a wheelchair.

Qin Jiaojiao felt like she had found a savior.

"Waaah, Grandpa, Su Xueya hit me!"

Grandpa Pei frowned as he looked at Qin Jiaojiao's messy hair.

He looked at Mingyao's swollen face again and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

Qin Jiaojiao retorted first: "Brother Pei was dragged down by her and is now unconscious!"

"Not only did she not think she had done anything wrong, she also threatened me, telling me not to get close to Brother Pei anymore!"

"Waaaah, she grabbed my hair and said she was going to shave all my hair off!"

Old Master Pei's face grew even more gloomy. He looked at Mingyao and asked, "What do you think?"

Mingyao said calmly, "Miss Qin slapped me as soon as she came in, thinking that I was the one who ruined Pei Siyu like this."

Qin Jiaojiao clung to Grandpa Pei's hand and burst into tears, crying, "Grandpa, listen!"

"She admitted it herself!"

Old Master Pei's expression remained unreadable: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Mingyao glanced at the old man before slowly saying, "Grandpa, it's still unknown when Pei Siyu will wake up."

"During his coma, I will handle all matters related to the Haichang branch."

"We would like to ask Grandpa to be our witness here."

"I will be responsible for all the losses of the Haichang branch until Pei Siyu recovers."

Mingyao's voice was firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

The old man looked at Mingyao with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Are you really sure?

With such a big incident, Mingyao is the one most affected.

The old man thought Mingyao would cry her heart out, but to his surprise, Mingyao quickly cheered up and wanted to take over the company.

"Grandpa, no!"

Qin Jiaojiao objected first: "Su Xueya only has a bachelor's degree, she has no idea how to manage a company!"

"Letting her manage the company is to ruin Brother Pei's hard work!"

Qin Jiaojiao wanted to argue, but the old man said in a deep voice, "The company was built by Pei Siyu."

“Miss Su is Pei Siyu’s wife, so she is very suitable to manage the company.”

The old man's words made Qin Jiaojiao bite her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment.
