Xia Kexing was surprised by her bad luck. She had been apologizing profusely, but immediately changed her attitude: "How come I have to run into someone as morally corrupt as you again, someone who seduces other people's boyfriends!"
Mingyao: "..."
She really wanted to ask!
Why is it this moral exemplar again?
She could clearly sense the strong displeasure emanating from the man beside her. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her temper and said, "Miss Xia, this is the time for you to rear-end us and almost hit us, not to pursue my moral issues."
Xia Kexing chuckled twice: "Are you feeling guilty? You did it but you're afraid to let anyone tell? Are you afraid your new lover will find out?"
She finally looked at Pei Siyu in the carriage, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes at first, then she recognized him as the important figure who had appeared at the company earlier that day, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of mockery: "So you two are just two treacherous lovers in cahoots!"
Pei Siyu's face, which had darkened because of the comment "seducing someone else's boyfriend," turned icy cold again with this next sentence.
It seems he's also experiencing the sting of being smeared.
Mingyao: "..."
Although she was a little annoyed, she suddenly stopped worrying and leaned back in her car seat, watching Xia Kexing's performance with an air of nonchalance.
Xia Kexing: "No wonder someone like you could get an interview at the Haichang branch. You've really disgraced us women for this job!"
Mingyao found it amusing: "I don't steal or rob, how is earning a living a disgrace to a woman?"
Xia Kexing said with disgust, "You're with a man late at night, wearing a man's clothes. Doesn't that prove anything? Your mother raised a daughter like you. Aren't you ashamed?"
The fact that her mother was involved for no apparent reason caused Mingyao's expression to turn cold, a stark contrast to the gentle demeanor she displayed in front of Pei Siyu. Her tone hardened slightly: "Miss Xia, you can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. The saying 'Don't judge without knowing the whole story' is something I can tell you if you haven't heard it before. Aren't you just spreading rumors? Not only did you rear-end me, violating traffic regulations, but you're also defaming me. Perhaps I have a moral issue, but you have a real legal problem! Why don't we call the police and ask them which department handles?"
Xia Kexing's face paled, speechless after being rebuked: "You..."
Pei Siyu's gaze couldn't help but sweep over Ming Yao, whose snow-white face was now filled with anger, her sharp tongue like that of a cat whose tail had been stepped on and whose fur had stood on end.
"Madam, sir, please cooperate with our work." Just then, a traffic police officer came to handle the accident.
Xia Kexing was questioned first, and Mingyao then stopped.
She turned her head and met the man's deep eyes, then shrank back.
...Has her persona collapsed?
It didn't crash, did it?
Because of this mishap, Mingyao's sleepiness had vanished. Back at the Pei Mansion late at night, she quickly finished dealing with the matters at the detective agency. The next morning, she received a notification from the Haichang branch that she could report to the company that day.
Mingyao felt refreshed and was about to go to the company after lunch when she was surprised to find Pei Siyu, who had left earlier than her, unusually present at the dinner table.
She composed herself somewhat, pretending to be obedient as she sat opposite the man, but her eyes couldn't help but glance in a certain direction at him.
I didn't hear anything about Pei Siyu calling the family doctor last night. Is everything really alright?
Noticing her gaze, the man's hand holding the silver knife and fork tightened, making a crisp sound as the knife and fork clattered against the ceramic plate, causing Mingyao to immediately look away.
She secretly observed the man's expression. "Mr. Pei, I passed the interview for Haichang Branch. Can I take the job?"
The woman asked cautiously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
This was a stark contrast to his angry confrontation with the driver last night, leaving Pei Siyu feeling inexplicably down.
"Suit yourself," he said coldly, then got up and left.
Mingyao breathed a sigh of relief and headed to the Haichang branch without delay. However, she didn't expect to run into Xia Kexing again early in the morning, who was chatting enthusiastically with several colleagues.
Xia Kexing was so rowdy yesterday, how did she still pass the interview?
She was surprised, but perhaps because Xia Kexing's strength was up to par, she didn't pay much attention.
"Su Xueya? What are you doing here again?" Xia Kexing's eyes widened when she saw her.
Su Xueya was notorious for being a troublemaker at school. How could she possibly pass Haichang's interview with her abilities?
Mingyao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and ignored her.
Xia Kexing suddenly remembered what happened last night and said sarcastically, "No wonder, Su Xueya, you really have no bottom line when it comes to selling your body for a job."
Hearing this, the surrounding colleagues all looked at Mingyao with expressions of surprise or amusement.
Mingyao frowned: "Xia Kexing, do you really want to go to the police station on charges of defamation?"
Xia Kexing sneered: "I saw you sitting in that luxury car with my own eyes last night, and you failed every subject back then, how could you possibly pass the interview? You probably don't even know how to operate a computer, do you?"
Mingyao's lips twitched slightly.
She was indeed skilled with computers, but considering her current position, she said, "Miss Xia, everyone has their own area of expertise, don't you understand?"
Xia Kexing felt like she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "You mean your expertise is your cleavage?"
She glanced disdainfully at Mingyao's curvaceous figure.
The male colleague also looked at her with a teasing gaze.
"To be honest, that's true." Mingyao smiled slightly: "After all, which company's receptionist doesn't prefer girls who are pretty and have good figures?"
Xia Kexing's expression froze.
"front desk?"
The other newcomers who originally wanted to just watch the drama unfold, as well as those who had worked hard to get into the company but were taken advantage of and felt wronged, were all stunned.
