The situation was chaotic at the time, and she was being pulled by the hair by Madam Wang, so she had no time to notice who was filming her.
She put away her phone, her face paling a shade lower. "Dad, let me explain."
Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were welling up in them. "I never thought things would turn out this way."
"You still have the nerve to cry?"
Su Qiqiang turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across Mingyao's face without any politeness. "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
Mingyao lowered her head, sobbing, a flash of coldness crossing her wet eyes with lightning speed.
The video spreading online was completely unexpected for her; Su Qiqiang would probably try to switch her with Su Xueya.
She looked out the window, where Mingyao's cold face was reflected.
Back at the apartment, Mingyao had just opened the door when the sound of footsteps rapidly approached.
"You bitch!"
Su Xueya's furious voice exploded in her ears. Ming Yao had just looked up when a slap, full of power, suddenly fell down.
With a slap, Mingyao's face was flung across by Su Xueya's movement.
Red five-finger marks appeared on her porcelain-white face at a visible speed, standing out particularly against her fair complexion.
Mingyao didn't dodge and took the hit squarely.
She staggered back two steps and collapsed weakly to the ground.
Su Xueya grabbed Ming Yao's collar, her bloodshot eyes blazing with rage. "Ming Yao, you did this on purpose!"
A fierce light shot from her eyes, almost piercing through Yao's body.
"You're causing trouble outside using my name! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Mingyao's face was deathly pale, and her wide, almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear. She choked out, "Sister, I... I didn't mean to."
"I didn't do anything wrong, I was just trying to..."
Su Xueya ignored Ming Yao's explanation and growled hoarsely, "Shut up!"
I was locked in my apartment and couldn't do anything. Every day felt like being a walking corpse.
What about Mingyao? She's entangled with the Pei family and even got into a scandal as a mistress!
Why is it that Mingyao can act recklessly outside, while she can only be like a prisoner, locked in the apartment, this cage?
Su Xueya felt extremely resentful and was determined to get out this time no matter what!
Before she could finish speaking, Su Xueya's angry roar choked her back. Ming Yao's lips moved, and finally, she uttered three words in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry."
Tears streamed down her face as she looked pleadingly at Su Qiqiang beside her.
Su Qiqiang remained unmoved, watching indifferently as the two sisters wrestled together.
Mingyao chuckled inwardly, not surprised by Su Qiqiang's reaction.
How his two daughters fight is none of his business. As long as it brings him benefits, the sisters' conflict is just a minor squabble to him.
"What good is 'sorry'? You bitch, you almost ruined everything!"
She felt unsatisfied and wanted to slap Mingyao again.
Just then, Su Qiqiang cleared his throat and stepped forward, saying, "Su Xueya, calm down."
Su Xueya gritted her teeth in anger, but in order not to provoke Su Qiqiang, she could only reluctantly shake off Mingyao's collar.
With tears in her eyes, Mingyao straightened her wrinkled collar before awkwardly standing up.
"Dad, you saw it too." Su Xueya glared at Mingyao and said irritably, "Mingyao had no intention of pleasing Pei Siyu at all, and she still caused such a mess. Are we just going to let her continue to act recklessly?"
"The video's popularity is soaring online. Mingyao will probably become a well-known 'mistress' in Haidu overnight. Her recklessness has not only disgraced me, but also the Su family!"
After criticizing Mingyao for a few minutes, Su Xueya cut to the chase, "Dad, let's switch back."
She no longer wanted to be locked in the apartment. "I will be a good wife and won't cause trouble like Mingyao."
Su Qiqiang pursed his lips and remained silent.
Mingyao knew he was considering something. She bit her lip and looked at Su Qiqiang with tears in her eyes. "Dad, I didn't do anything wrong."
"I did all this to please Pei Siyu."
Before Su Qiqiang could respond, Su Xueya sneered, "Yes, yes, she seduced Boss Wang and was beaten by Madam Wang as a mistress all to please Pei Siyu."
Upon hearing this, Su Qiqiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, like ice spikes piercing through Ming Yao's face and chest.
Mingyao shivered, her pale face devoid of color.
"Dad, the story about seducing Boss Wang is a complete fabrication. As for the mistress, that's completely unfounded. It's just that Mrs. Wang has misunderstood me."
“I took a day off specifically to go there in order to stop Kexi Technology from acquiring the Wang Group.”
She glanced quickly at Su Qiqiang, whom she couldn't see clearly, then lowered her eyes, staring at her toes, and mumbled, "The project that Boss Wang has is crucial to Pei Siyu. I won the project by chance a few days ago, and Pei Siyu has been much nicer to me ever since. He not only took me to the hospital himself, but also took care of me there."
To make her words more credible, Mingyao quickly added, "Dad can go to Woye to investigate. Many Woye employees saw Pei Siyu carry me away."
Su Qiqiang had been keeping an eye on her every move, so he couldn't possibly be unaware of what had happened in Woye.
She brought it up deliberately, hoping to make Su Qiqiang see her value.
She wanted to prove to Su Qiqiang that she was more capable of winning Pei Siyu's favor than Su Xueya!
Seeing that Su Qiqiang still didn't speak, Mingyao composed herself and tears streamed down her face. "I thought everything was going in the right direction, but I never expected," she choked up, her voice trembling with sobs, "that Boss Wang suddenly changed his mind and insisted on canceling the cooperation with the Haichang branch, regardless of the high penalty for breach of contract."
“Pei Siyu was furious. In order to win him back and make him happy, I came up with a plan to stop Kexi Technology from acquiring Boss Wang’s company.”
"I never expected that Madam Wang would misunderstand my relationship with Mr. Wang and attack me in public. I also never imagined that the video would..."
Mingyao looked up with her tear-streaked face and said, "Dad, give me a few more days, and I will change the situation."
"I'm asking for three days off from the company. I will try to salvage the partnership between Mr. Wang and the company within those three days!"
Her words were earnest and her expression sincere, and her arguments were logical and well-founded: "If my sister were to switch places with me now, she might not be able to do it well, and..."
Mingyao paused deliberately, glancing timidly at Su Xueya, "Sister's emotions are not very stable, and she might give herself away in front of Pei Siyu if she is not careful."
“Once Pei Siyu sees through our plan, it will fall apart. Dad doesn’t want to have all our efforts for nothing.”
Su Xueya could no longer bear it and couldn't listen anymore.
Anger flared in her eyes. "Nonsense!"
"Who's emotionally unstable?!"
She pointed at Mingyao with a contorted expression, almost jumping up, "Mingyao, you're just trying to prevent me from leaving this wretched place by throwing mud at me!"
Mingyao, like a startled rabbit, fearfully confronted Su Xueya, who was on the verge of exploding. "Sister, don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth."
