Lin Bin stared at Ni An with a stern face and a gloomy gaze.
"Have you made enough of a scene?!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Ni An across the face.
The sharp cracking sound was particularly jarring in the small private room.
Ni An immediately had a five-finger slap mark on her face, and half of her face was swollen.
Her face was full of astonishment, and her gaze towards Lin Bin held a hint of shock.
Ni An's eyes welled up with tears, which clung to her cheeks, threatening to spill over. "Lin Bin, how dare you hit me!" she cried, twisting her wrist in an attempt to break free from Zhong Ruyi's grasp.
Perhaps because she was too heartbroken, Ni An forgot that Zhong Ruyi was pregnant, and she struggled too hard.
After she shook off Zhong Ruyi's hand, the latter's body swayed due to inertia, and she was about to fall backward.
Zhong Ruyi's eyes widened, and her face turned deathly pale.
Just as she was about to fall, Mingyao rushed forward and caught her.
For the sake of her child and herself, Zhong Ruyi instinctively grabbed Mingyao's arm.
In critical situations, people can unleash tremendous power.
Just as Zhong Ruyi was about to fall, her grip tightened dramatically, as if she wanted to crush Ming Yao's entire arm.
"ah!"
Mingyao cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face.
After Zhong Ruyi was safe, she removed her hand, revealing a purplish-red pinch mark on her arm.
Lin Bin belatedly rushed over, nervously supporting Zhong Ruyi, and glared fiercely at Ming Yao, "What are you doing!"
He shoved Mingyao aside and looked at Zhong Ruyi, whose face was deathly pale. "Ruyi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Mingyao covered the purplish-red pinch marks on her arm and staggered back two steps.
Pei Siyu grasped her shoulders; his movements were subtle, even gentle.
But his brows were furrowed, and a hint of gloom appeared between his usually cold and aloof expression. His gaze toward Lin Bin and Ni An was as cold as if it had been tempered with ice.
Ni An stood rooted to the spot like a stick.
She knew she had committed a terrible crime, and her face turned ashen, devoid of any color.
After regaining her senses, Zhong Ruyi glared at Mingyao and Ni An with disgust.
"Hmph, I guess I misjudged him!"
"Su Xueya, in my opinion, you're just like Ni An—a shameless slut who likes to seduce other women's husbands!"
Before Mingyao could answer, Ni An retorted in a trembling voice, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. What does this have to do with Sister Su?"
"I'm the one who's with your husband, and I'm also the one who forced you to divorce!"
"This matter has nothing to do with Sister Su from beginning to end!"
Ni An's failure to defend Ming Yao only fueled Zhong Ruyi's anger after she spoke up for Ming Yao.
Zhong Ruyi glared at Su Xueya with bloodshot eyes, her anger rising.
"Su Xueya, I am so disappointed in you!"
She said coldly, "I thought you were a good girl, but I never expected you to be friends with such a shady person!"
"You've been fooled by those you associate with!"
"Let's end the cooperation between Haichang Branch and High-tech Company here."
Ni An's face turned deathly pale, and she completely panicked. "Why cancel the cooperation?"
She blocked Zhong Ruyi's path and questioned in a hoarse voice, "I'm the one who did something wrong, why did you cancel the cooperation?"
Zhong Ruyi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "The fact that the Haichang branch has an employee as shameless as you shows that the Haichang branch isn't very competent either."
Why should we cooperate?
"Get out of the way!"
Zhong Ruyi's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Ni An's head, chilling her to the bone.
As Lin Bin passed by Ni An, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "You're not allowed to appear in my sight again!"
"If you dare to hurt my children and wife again, I'll never forgive you!"
The refined man now had a ferocious expression, and in Ni An's eyes, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
Ni An swayed, her eyes becoming even redder.
After Lin Bin helped Zhong Ruyi leave, Ni An felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.
She collapsed to the ground, her face streaked with tears.
Pei Siyu looked down at Ni An and said coldly, "Ni An, effective immediately, you are fired."
After saying this, he strode away from the private room with cold, austere steps.
Ni An paused, her already dim eyes growing even darker.
Seeing Ni An with tears streaming down her face, Ming Yao felt complicated and uneasy.
"Ni An, get up first."
She was very disappointed that Ni An was a mistress.
But she was, after all, the first friend I could confide in since I started working here.
She is now both angry at her for her lack of ambition and disappointed in her.
"How could you become a mistress and destroy someone else's family?"
Looking at Ni An, who was in a daze, she felt a pang of discomfort in her heart, as if a stone were lodged in her chest.
Ni An lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. She choked back sobs as she apologized, "I'm sorry, Sister Su, I didn't know things would turn out this way."
"I just wanted him to give me a home, but I never expected him to ruin our company partnership."
She suddenly grabbed Mingyao's hand, raised her tear-streaked face, and pleaded, "Sister Su, can you find a way to let me stay at the company?"
"I don't want to resign!"
"I still want to work as a receptionist at the company."
Mingyao couldn't make the decision on this matter; she was just a receptionist.
Seeing that Mingyao did not answer, Ni An knelt on the ground, his gaze towards her filled with pleading.
"Sister, please give me another chance!"
She held onto Mingyao tightly, unwilling to let go.
