Pei Siyu frowned slightly and grabbed Mingyao's wrist.
His palms were burning hot and incredibly strong, as if he were about to crush Mingyao's wrist bones in the next second.
"Mr. Pei, it hurts so much."
Tears streamed down her face as she gazed at Pei Siyu with tear-streaked eyes, looking so pitiful that it evoked pity in one's heart.
Mingyao's tears seemed to fall into his heart, and Pei Siyu loosened his grip a little.
"Don't change the subject!"
He glared at Mingyao, "What did you talk about with him? What did you ask him to do for you?"
Mingyao started brainstorming; she didn't know how to answer Pei Siyu.
Just as she was stammering, unsure of what to say, her phone rang.
She quickly picked up her phone and looked at Pei Siyu apologetically: "Mr. Pei, my father is calling."
Pei Siyu glared at Ming Yao, the cold light in his eyes seeming to pierce through everything.
Mingyao held her phone, pointed to the door, and said apologetically, "Mr. Pei, could you please step out for a moment while I'm on the phone?"
Before she could finish speaking, she could clearly feel the sudden chill emanating from Pei Siyu.
She carefully examined Pei Siyu and whispered, "I'm not used to having someone around."
"President Pei, please understand." Mingyao smiled apologetically, putting on a pitiful, wronged look.
Pei Siyu gave a curt "hmm".
After closing the door, Mingyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Qiqiang's phone call came at just the right time; she was terrified.
"Dad, is there something you need from me?"
Su Qiqiang flew into a rage: "Why did it take you so long to answer my call?"
His voice was so sharp it almost pierced Mingyao's eardrums.
She rubbed her ears, rolled her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Dad, President Pei was right next to me just now."
"I shouldn't answer the phone when he's here, because I'm afraid of revealing our secret."
She covered her mouth and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Su Qiqiang realized the seriousness of the situation and felt somewhat guilty: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
The question is, did we give her a chance to speak?
Mingyao thought to herself, "No matter what, Su Qiqiang is always right."
"I'm sorry, Dad."
"It's so late, why aren't you resting?"
She steered the conversation back on track, asking in a soft, gentle tone.
Su Qiqiang cleared his throat and said earnestly, "You and Pei Siyu have been married for so long now."
"Shouldn't we take him back to his parents' home?"
Mingyao's lips twitched twice, her face full of a mocking smile.
Mingyao had anticipated Su Qiqiang's words and was not surprised.
Her relationship with Pei Siyu had only just become a little closer when Su Qiqiang couldn't wait to take advantage of her.
Dream on!
"Dad, it's not that I don't want to tell Pei Siyu." She bit her lip, looking very troubled: "Pei Siyu is too busy with work. He's been working on a new project lately, and he doesn't get home until midnight."
Su Qiqiang did not answer, but even through the phone, Mingyao could clearly feel his low spirits.
"How about this?" Mingyao said nervously, "I'll tell President Pei when I'm almost done with the new project."
"Dad, I will definitely bring President Pei back to my parents' home."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Su Qiqiang nodded slightly: "Yes, it's good that you have the intention."
After hanging up the phone, Mingyao exhaled a breath of stale air.
Su Qiqiang was determined to use her to curry favor with Pei Siyu, but this time it might not be so easy to deal with.
He never gives up until he achieves his goal. Mingyao had a headache.
Ring ring—
The phone rang again, breaking the silence in the room.
It was Su Qiqiang who called.
"Is he crazy?" Mingyao spat out her phone screen, almost cursing Su Qiqiang's ancestors for eighteen generations.
After calming down, Mingyao responded in her sweetest voice, "Dad."
"Mingyao, don't think that you can have everything just because you have Pei Siyu's favor!"
Su Xueya's voice was shrill, piercing Mingyao's ears like frosted glass.
Mingyao frowned, picked up her phone, and hung up immediately.
Su Xueya called a second time right away, and Mingyao hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Mingyao, how dare you hang up on me!"
"I knew you weren't as simple as you appeared in front of Dad!"
Mingyao guessed that Su Qiqiang was also nearby, otherwise he wouldn't have given Su Xueya the opportunity to make a phone call using his phone.
Mingyao composed herself, and tears fell like pearls.
She sobbed, her words barely audible: "Sister, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"I never intended to possess everything you had."
"Did you call me just to curse me?"
Su Xueya choked, and after regaining her senses, she said through gritted teeth, "Mingyao, I'm warning you!"
"Know your place. The best man in this world, and everything else, can only be mine!"
"You're just my substitute!"
Mingyao nodded with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I'll remember what you said."
Yeah, right.
It seems Su Xueya is really desperate, making a threatening phone call to Su Qiqiang right in front of him.
Do you really think she's an easy target?
Having been given a second chance at life, she is determined to repay Su Xueya and Su Qiqiang for all the suffering she endured in her previous life!
The fear we feel now is just an appetizer; the main course hasn't even started yet.
The next evening after get off work, Mingyao came out of the company and immediately noticed the pink sports car parked at the intersection of the company road.
A woman in a red suit was sitting in the pink sports car. She was wearing sunglasses and staring straight at her.
When the woman saw Mingyao, she beckoned to her, just like she was beckoning a dog.
