Ning Xun stared at Su Xueya, his brows furrowed.
The face was exactly the same, but Ning Xun felt that the "Ming Yao" in front of him was completely different from the Ming Yao in his memory.
Even "Su Xueya" is more like the image in my memory.
"And this is...?"
Mingyao quickly grabbed Su Xueya and said with a smile, "You've forgotten so quickly?"
"This is Professor Ning, your senior from university."
Su Xueya was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and said to Mingyao, "So it's you, senior."
"Senior Ning, it's been a long time."
Ning Xun gave a faint "hmm," his gaze fixed intently on Ming Yao and Su Xueya.
They're said to be twin sisters, and they look exactly like they were made from the same mold.
Strangely, Ning Xun felt that the two were completely different, both in appearance and temperament.
"It's been so long since graduation, I didn't expect my junior to have changed so much."
"I almost didn't recognize him."
Ning Xun's words sent alarm bells ringing in Ming Yao and Su Xueya's hearts. Seeing that Su Xueya was still in a daze, Ming Yao quickly pinched her.
Su Xueya nudged Ming Yao with her elbow and said with a forced smile, "People always change."
"I see that the senior has changed quite a bit too."
"I didn't recognize him at first."
Ning Xun then asked, "What changes have occurred in me?"
Su Xueya choked up, never expecting that her simple agreement would lead to him pressing her for answers.
The atmosphere became awkward, and Mingyao quickly tried to smooth things over: "Professor Ning, please have a seat. My sister and I will make some tea."
"How can we let our guest stand like this?"
Mingyao grabbed Su Xueya and fled in panic.
Ning Xun watched Ming Yao and Su Xueya's retreating figures, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.
If he hadn't been told his name, he would have even thought...
"Professor Ning, please have a seat."
Pei Siyu said coldly.
Ning Xun stared at Pei Siyu's retreating figure and said with a dry laugh, "Have I had any contact with Mr. Pei before?"
"No."
"Mr. Pei, since this is the first time we've met, why are you so hostile towards me?"
Ning Xun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed intently on Pei Siyu.
Pei Siyu's lips curled into a cold smile: "Mr. Ning, I think you've misunderstood."
Why would I be hostile towards you?
Seeing that he was unwilling to admit it, Ning Xun stopped pressing him for details.
On the other side, Su Xueya glared angrily at Ming Yao, "Ming Yao, are you trying to kill me?"
"Why did you bring your senior to my house?!"
Moreover, Ning Xun's gaze towards her was not innocent.
Mingyao also had a headache: "I didn't know that Suxiu Culture's historical advisor was him!"
"I'm going to tell you something about Ning Xun. Remember, don't let anything slip."
Su Xueya sneered: "You brought this trouble upon yourself, so you have to figure it out yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
"Su Xueya!"
Mingyao grabbed Su Xueya's wrist, her eyes turning bloodshot.
"If you want us to fail at the last minute, then go ahead!"
Su Xueya glared at Ming Yao, broke free from her grasp, and crossed her arms.
"Get to the point quickly, don't waste my time!"
Mingyao recounted everything she remembered about Ning Xun in detail, so that Su Xueya would remember it.
Su Xueya said impatiently, "Don't cause me any more trouble!"
Mingyao and Su Xueya returned to the living room and found that only Ning Xun was there.
Mingyao felt something was off, and Ning Xun said, "President Pei received a phone call and went upstairs."
Footsteps came from upstairs, and Pei Siyu hurriedly came downstairs.
"Xiaoxue, my grandfather has had a minor health issue, so I have to go back now."
"I'll have Zhang Peng stay and take care of you."
After giving a few instructions, Pei Siyu hurriedly left.
Mingyao sat on the sofa, feeling extremely uneasy and as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
The assistant comforted her, saying, "Miss Su, the old man's condition has only worsened; he should recover soon."
Mingyao clenched her fist.
Having experienced her past life, she knew clearly that things weren't that simple.
Old Master Pei was Pei Siyu's only support in the Pei family.
Once Old Master Pei falls, the Pei family will turn into wolves and tigers, devouring Pei Siyu alive.
In her past life, Pei Siyu wasn't by her side when she gave birth because of Old Master Pei's affairs.
How could this happen so much earlier than expected in my lifetime?
Mingyao had a premonition that the old man's health condition this time was not so simple.
She needs to go back soon too!
"You two keep chatting, I'll go get back to work."
Mingyao turned around and went back to her room.
Su Xueya panicked and kept trying to signal to Mingyao with her eyes, hoping that Mingyao would stay.
She left, leaving me here. How am I supposed to face Ning Xun?
Su Xueya watched Ming Yao's reckless retreating figure, and her anger flared up.
She kept saying she wouldn't cause trouble, but when things came to a head, she ran away first.
"Yaoyao, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Xueya quickly responded with a smile, "No."
She started drinking her tea to cover up her unease and asked, "How have you been lately, Senior Ning?"
In the room, Mingyao dialed Su Qiqiang's number.
"Dad, when will your matter be resolved?"
“I’m worried that something will happen if I keep her here.”
Su Qiqiang frowned: "Can't you and her cooperate a little?"
"If she's exposed, we're all finished!"
Su Qiqiang was in a bad mood and gave Mingyao a severe scolding.
Mingyao suppressed her anger: "Dad, she's a ticking time bomb."
"Moreover, now that the Pei family is in trouble, it's the perfect time to strengthen your relationship with Pei Siyu."
"I can't stay here with Su Xueya and wait for you to come."
After thinking for a moment, Su Qiqiang agreed that Mingyao's words made sense.
"Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible."
Before the call was even disconnected, Su Xueya kicked the door open with a bang.
She rushed in, taking three steps at a time, and grabbed Mingyao by the collar.
"What do you mean? You actually dared to call Dad!"
"Calm down first. What if Grandpa and Grandma see this?"
Su Xueya was furious: "You betrayed me, and you're even afraid of being seen by Grandpa and Grandma?"
Su Qiqiang roared at Su Xueya over the phone: "If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll go back and arrest you right now!"
Su Xueya laughed disdainfully, "Fine, come and catch me if you dare!"
"If I'm not having a good time, none of you should either!"
Su Xueya threw Mingyao's new phone on the ground and hung up on Su Qiqiang.
Unable to bear it any longer, Mingyao slapped Su Xueya across the face.
"Can you please stop being ridiculous?"
The unexpected slap completely stunned Su Xueya.
She covered her face in shock, her pupils dilated, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
A burning pain shot through half of her cheek, constantly reminding her what had happened.
Su Xueya's lips twitched, and anger rose in her eyes: "How dare you hit me!"
Su Xueya grabbed Mingyao's hair without hesitation, her anger blazing: "Mingyao, I'm warning you!"
"If you dare send him, I'll kill you!"
