She was unwilling to accept this and did not believe that she was spreading rumors.
It's a fact that Mingyao, relying on her beauty, desperately tries to make her presence known to Pei Siyu and seduce him.
Hmph, if I were to help Pei Siyu take over the Wang Group, who would dare to laugh at her?
Thinking of this, Xia Kexing's lips twitched twice.
Who made Mingyao so beautiful and lucky? If she had even a fraction of Mingyao's luck, she wouldn't have ended up being trampled on and mocked by someone like Ni An, who's just a pretty face.
Xia Kexing glared fiercely at Ming Yao, her eyes filled with hatred, and then left as fast as the wind, not wanting to stay in the company for even a moment longer.
"Su Xueya, don't pay attention to what Xia Kexing said, just do your own thing."
Manager Zhang offered words of comfort.
Mingyao nodded, exhaled a breath of stale air, and felt very happy.
After get off work, Mingyao went straight back to the Pei family mansion.
She was resting at home just before the celebration party started that evening.
Pei Siyu didn't come back all afternoon; he's probably busy with the acquisition.
Mingyao felt a little disappointed; she had wanted to go with Pei Siyu.
With an hour and a half to go before the banquet started, she pulled a black T-shirt and denim shorts with a cartoon bear print from her closet, held them up in front of the mirror, and compared them to her own.
Manager Zhang said there were no dress requirements for the party, and everyone could dress however they felt comfortable, so this outfit should be fine.
As night falls, the city is gradually enveloped in darkness.
As Mingyao got out of the taxi, carrying her small handbag, she could see the Angel ship covered in twinkling lights in the distance.
Honghai Bay is one of the three major bays in Haidu. The night market here is lively, and the night view is even more beautiful.
Today, Honghai Bay is bustling like never before.
Countless passersby, drawn by its reputation, gathered on the shore, snapping photos of the Angel with their phones.
Mingyao struggled to walk to the front of the crowd, and then boarded the Angel ship amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of everyone.
"Sister Su!"
Ni An exclaimed in surprise as she rushed over, lifting her skirt and clattering in her high heels.
After standing still, she widened her eyes and looked Mingyao up and down in surprise. "Sister Su, this is the company celebration party. Why are you dressed like this?"
Mingyao was stunned when she saw Ni An's lavish outfit from head to toe. "Didn't Manager Zhang say there were no requirements for clothing?"
Why are you wearing a formal dress?
Ni An's dress was a fitted black strapless fishtail gown adorned with sequins that shimmered and sparkled in the light—in short, a multicolored black.
This dress suits her perfectly, outlining Ni An's S-curve and making her figure look even more alluring.
"It's beautiful." Mingyao praised sincerely.
Ni An likes to be glamorous and elaborate, and today her makeup, clothes, and jewelry are all just right.
Just as Ni An remembered and noticed Ming Yao's attire, her smile vanished at a visible speed.
"Sister Su, you still have the mind to pay attention to me!"
"The party is about to start, and I don't even have time to buy clothes."
Mingyao calmly took her arm and said, "Don't worry about me."
"No one says I can't wear it, right?"
"Let's go, let's go."
She didn't care what she wore to the party, as long as she was comfortable.
Seeing that Mingyao insisted, Ni An said no more.
Most of my colleagues have already arrived, and both men and women are dressed in extremely formal evening gowns.
Mingyao, dressed in a black t-shirt and shorts, stood out from the crowd, as if she belonged to another world.
"Su Xueya, you're the star of the party, why are you dressed so simply?"
"Yeah, do you want to go change your clothes?"
When her colleagues asked with concern, Mingyao smiled helplessly, "I thought that what Manager Zhang said meant I could wear whatever I wanted, so... you don't need to worry about me."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Manager Zhang walks over, holding a glass of champagne. "Su Xueya, I said casual wear doesn't mean dressed like this!"
When his colleagues saw him, they all clapped and applauded.
Manager Zhang raised his hair, which was slicked back with hair gel, and elegantly tugged at his small bow tie, exuding the air of a Western gentleman.
She looks like she dressed up carefully.
From her meticulously styled hair held in place with hairspray, to her custom-made suit, black crocodile leather shoes, and gold cufflinks, everything about Manager Zhang showcases her dedication.
Ni An and her colleagues started showering the manager with compliments on his outfit.
Mingyao sat in the corner, drinking her beverage and waiting for the banquet to begin.
Suddenly, she sensed two hostile gazes.
She looked up and saw two female colleagues whispering to each other.
Upon noticing Mingyao's gaze, the two dodged away with lightning speed.
Mingyao didn't care and continued drinking her beverage.
Unfortunately, my hearing was too good, and the whispers of my two female colleagues still managed to reach my ears on the night breeze.
"Tch, knowing it's a party, why dress so casually? It's definitely to attract attention!"
"What a vixen!"
Mingyao sighed, too lazy to argue with her two colleagues.
With half an hour to go before the party started, she yawned, feeling a little bored.
Suddenly, exclamations came from the front of the yacht: "Little Pei and President Pei are here together!" Someone shouted, and all the surrounding colleagues gathered around.
Mingyao looked around and found no one nearby. In order not to stand out, she had no choice but to join the crowd.
"Where is Su Xueya?"
Ignoring his colleagues who were trying to curry favor with him, Pei Zhao looked around, searching for Ming Yao.
He was so engrossed in his search that he didn't notice Pei Siyu's face gradually darkening beside him.
Mingyao also noticed that Pei Zhao was looking for her, and silently took a few steps back, wanting to make a quick getaway.
However.
"Su Xueya!"
Pei Zhao's clear voice came from behind, making Mingyao's scalp tingle.
What you fear most is what will happen to you.
She froze on the spot, forcing a bright smile onto her face. "Mr. Pei, is there something you need?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp, piercing gaze.
Mingyao shivered, her heart leaping into her throat.
This is bad, Pei Siyu is still here.
She almost forgot.
Mingyao stiffly forced a smile, swallowed hard, and took a half-step back. "Mr. Pei, what is it you want to say first?"
The next second, the wrist suddenly tightened.
Pei Zhao grabbed Mingyao's wrist and pulled her into the center of the crowd. "Why did you come dressed like this?"
Mingyao: "..."
She feels like dying right now.
Pei Siyu's cold, icy gaze fell on the spot where Pei Zhao was holding Ming Yao's hand, his eyes like needles piercing Ming Yao's wrist.
She jerked, twisted twice, and quickly shook off.
"Um, I just wore something random."
Mingyao lowered her eyes, standing awkwardly in place, not daring to look into Pei Siyu's eyes, feeling like crying but having no tears in her heart.
Why would he show concern for her in front of Pei Siyu? Isn't that just pushing her into a fire pit?
Pei Zhao, let's go!
Contrary to her wishes, Pei Zhao did not leave as she prayed. Instead, he said something shocking, making Mingyao wish she could disappear into the ground and run away.
