Taking advantage of his height, Pei Siyu lowered his head, his cold, inorganic black eyes sweeping across Ming Yao's face without missing an inch.
It must be admitted that the woman's features are exquisitely beautiful, her figure slender yet tall and shapely. She would be more than qualified for a receptionist position, or even an entertainment company.
Mingyao glanced at Pei Siyu's ambiguous expression and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, if Master Pei doesn't agree, then I'll..."
"Whatever." Pei Siyu abruptly withdrew his hand, his brows furrowed with a hint of irritation.
He didn't have time to play along with her act.
What she's thinking is none of his business.
Pei Siyu turned and left, taking with him the violent energy in the air as he walked away, unraveling his mystery.
Mingyao naturally shed her feigned weakness and harmlessness, her nerves relaxed slightly, and she looked in the direction the man had left, a hint of mockery flashing across her face.
Just like in his previous life, he was arrogant and haughty.
They didn't even consider her, a nobody, a threat.
But it was precisely because of this that she had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The phone in my bag vibrated with a "buzz".
She took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and raised an eyebrow.
Su Xueya got the news so quickly?
Mingyao answered the call with a mocking look in her eyes, and Su Xueya's piercing curses immediately came through: "You bitch! I made you marry into the Pei family to have children, who gave you permission to use my identity to find a job! Are you trying to embarrass me? Don't forget, your mother is still in our hands!"
Su Xueya gritted her teeth in hatred, as if she weren't even looking at her mother.
Mingyao leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with hatred, but she spoke with utter innocence: "Sister, what are you saying? I only wanted to get close to Master Pei and gain his trust as soon as possible so I could exchange with you sooner."
Su Xueya was so angry her nose almost crooked: "Stop pretending with me!"
Mingyao blinked: "If you're worried, sister, let's secretly switch back. I'll stay in the apartment for you, but if you can't get pregnant soon..."
"Shut up!" Su Xueya was so angry that she jumped up and down after being hit where she couldn't get pregnant.
Mingyao readily agreed: "I'm sorry, sister, please don't be angry. I misspoke."
Su Xueya warned angrily, "Don't let my identity make you forget who you are! I am the young mistress of the Pei family! Everything you have now belongs to me!"
Mingyao said softly, "Don't worry, sister, I will play your role well."
After hanging up the phone, Mingyao's smile deepened.
Of course I have to play the role well...
Otherwise, how could she replace Su Xueya?
After leaving the interview, Mingyao went directly to the renowned Yongzhou Club in Haidu.
He went to the appointment in place of Su Xueya and her friends.
...
The lights were flashing, glasses were clinking, and graceful figures in tight dresses and backless tops could be seen everywhere.
Mingyao, dressed in her work clothes, looked like a lamb that had wandered into a pack of wolves.
"Who are you?" She pushed open the door to the private room, and Su Xueya's cronies didn't even realize what was happening.
"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Pei?" The first person to react exclaimed, "I didn't recognize her even after two days of marriage!"
"Is this Su Xueya? She's gotten even more beautiful in just a few days!"
They all gathered around, offering words of comfort and concern.
"She's become so arrogant now that she's the young mistress of the Pei family. She won't come out even after we've asked her out several times." Suddenly, a sarcastic female voice interrupted.
The private room fell silent.
Someone sneered, "Sister Jiang..."
The woman who was speaking was heavily made up, but everyone tacitly looked at the short-haired, cool girl next to her, who was dressed in high-end designer brands from head to toe and sat in the middle of the sofa surrounded by everyone, highlighting her extraordinary status.
Jiang Rongrong, daughter of the Jiang family.
Unlike the Su family, who were nouveau riche who barely squeezed into the circle through land expropriation, the Jiang family was a genuine wealthy clan in Haidu.
The Haidu circle is used to flattering the powerful and fawning over the weak.
Su Xueya had previously fawned over her, acting as her lackey and licking her boots, while also being jealous of her.
In her previous life, Mingyao also tried her best to avoid Jiang Rongrong.
This time, her pale face was full of apology: "I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."
The heavily made-up woman spoke up again. She was another lackey of Jiang Rongrong and had been fighting with Su Xueya for a long time. She deliberately said, "What's the use of just apologizing? Treat us to drinks according to the rules. Now that you're Mrs. Pei, you should have the money to treat us to drinks, right?"
The cost of living during the day is extremely high.
Su Xueya had limited pocket money, but she liked to put on a show of wealth even when she couldn't afford it. Every time it was her turn to pay, she would make excuses and delay.
Those who had been flattering Mingyao fell silent, and their gazes towards her changed.
There was sympathy, contempt, and jealousy.
Everyone in the circle knows the truth.
Su Xueya's marriage into the Pei family was purely due to internal strife within the family; Mrs. Pei wanted to disgust Pei Siyu.
Mrs. Pei's status is distinguished.
But that doesn't mean that just because she holds the title of Mrs. Pei, she is noble.
Mingyao pursed her lips, then suddenly remembered something and smiled, saying, "Okay."
Wang Nana, who had been stirring things up, was taken aback. She clearly hadn't expected Ming Yao to agree so readily. As if afraid that Ming Yao would change her mind, she quickly said to the waiter, "Did you hear that? Young Madam Pei is treating. Bring out the most expensive wines!"
The waiter looked troubled: "This..."
He had also heard of Su Xueya's reputation for running away with orders.
If the most expensive wine is opened, the loss is too great to bear.
Everyone looked on with anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
"Swipe the card first." Mingyao said calmly, taking out the black supplementary card with gold patterns from her bag and handing it to the waiter.
“This is Pei…” Some sharp-eyed people recognized Pei Siyu’s unique black card and showed a look of horror.
What is Pei Siyu's identity?
The heir of the prestigious Pei Group!
