C252 It Didn't Matter Even If He Said It!

Shen Mingxi's eyes became unusually sharp in an instant. She looked at Pei Ya with a very penetrating gaze as if she wanted to see through the proud smile on Pei Ya's face and thus pierced into her heart.

"It doesn't matter even if I say it!" Pei Ya lightly snorted. She did not want to admit that at that moment when she saw Shen Mingxi's eyes, she actually could not help but feel fear!

"Did he call you over?"

It was just two meals. She could still afford to be hungry. However, even if Shen Mingxi really did not want to ask directly, she still did not control her impulse. After two seconds of silence, she gently pulled her lips and asked seemingly unintentionally.

She tried her best to remind herself not to care about what Situ Ye did, if their status was equal. There was no such thing as who owed who, if they were lovers... Shen Mingxi would not be as cowardly as she was now.

But it was not!

In fact, in their relationship, Situ Ye was always the man who sat high and mighty. Whatever he wanted to do, he would never need to explain it to her!

But even though she warned herself not to care, Shen Mingxi bit the corner of her lips and finally could not help but ask.

She really wanted to know that all the cells in her body seemed to be clamoring, wanting to know the real answer from Pei Ya's mouth.

Perhaps, she would not hold onto that little bit of pitiful hope, right?

Pei Ya was slightly stunned for a moment before she quickly understood what Shen Mingxi meant. She could not help but laugh and her mocking eyes stared straight at Shen Mingxi's delicate face. "Do you think that this manor does not have Young Master's orders? Can I enter?"

In the morning, after receiving Situ Ye's call, Pei Ya even got out of bed and her anger was quelled.

Such a good thing, why did it suddenly fall on her?

She quickly dressed herself up beautifully. Pei Ya originally wanted to go directly to Situ Ye's company. After all, she wanted Situ Ye as a person.

But Situ Ye coldly ordered that he would let the driver go to her apartment to pick her up, and then let her come to the manor to wait for him to get off work. Or, if she felt bored, she could also bring the maids to go shopping.

Women would never be able to escape the temptation of beautiful clothes, expensive bags, and exquisite jewelry. Of course, Pei Ya was the same.

When she first arrived at Rose Manor in the morning, she was excited at the same time. She also did not forget Shen Mingxi's existence. When she saw a servant preparing to call Shen Mingxi to have a meal, taking advantage of the fact that she was unexpectedly called over by Situ Ye today, Pei Ya mustered her courage to stop the breakfast that originally belonged to Shen Mingxi. She forced a few maids in the garden to follow her out in a grandiose manner.

Of course, when Zhen, who was left behind, heard that it was Situ Ye's order not to send food to Shen Mingxi, she was also frightened and did not dare to go against Situ Ye's orders at all.

"So, it's true." Shen Mingxi took a deep breath. She did not doubt the authenticity of Pei Ya's words.

Perhaps, this kind of heartless and cold Situ Ye was the Situ Ye in her heart?

"Alright!" Seeing Shen Mingxi's small face was gloomy and something similar to despair, Pei Ya proudly raised the corner of her mouth. She gloated, "Are you hungry now? Just now when I came up, I called the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."

Knowing that Situ Ye was about to return, Pei Ya was full of confidence in her heart. With such a rich young lady in front of her, would she really be a match for her?

"You don't need to be kind." Shen Mingxi had never felt like she was in such a sorry state before.

In front of violence, she could hold on. Even if she was injured, it would not embarrass her. But at this moment, standing in front of Pei Ya, every cell in her body felt embarrassed.

It was as if Pei Ya was the mistress of this manor. She was just a woman who could be bullied at will.

"I am not being kind. I am worried that something will happen to you if you are hungry." Pei Ya curled her lips. Standing at the door, her ears twitched slightly. Although the footsteps were not very obvious, it could not escape her hearing no matter what.

Shen Mingxi did not say anything and Pei Ya continued, "Today I happened to be here. If there is any problem with you being hungry, at that time Young Master will blame me. Big Miss Shen, I do not want to be hated by Young Master because of you!"

"You..."

Shen Mingxi was just about to speak but before she could say anything, Pei Ya suddenly smiled mysteriously and a trace of gloominess flashed across her eyes, "Even if it is the woman that is kept by the young master, even if you have nothing now. You can only rely on men to live, but at least compared to your dead sister... You are much luckier, aren't you?"

Shen Mingxi widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Pei Ya.

She said that she was the woman Situ Ye kept as his mistress!

"What? Don't say that you are not. Young Master told me everything. Although you used to be noble and arrogant, you are now even worse than an ant under my feet. When do I want you to die? Do you believe me? As long as the young master doesn't protect you, I can do it!"

Pei Ya wickedly winked at Shen Mingxi and saw that Shen Mingxi was still biting the corner of her lips. She restrained herself and tried to be as calm as possible. She once again snorted in dissatisfaction, "Don't think that just because the Young Master helped you, he really believes that your mother is innocent. He only wants your body! After all, according to the rumors, your mother feels very good. If this were to be placed on any man, it would be a fatal temptation..."

Pah -

The silent space, the ear-piercing clapping, did not even give Shen Mingxi time to react.

In the next second, she looked at the pair of cold eyes that suddenly appeared at the end of her line of sight in shock. Then she looked at the injured Pei Ya, who was about to cry, and suddenly understood what was going on.

Pei Ya stood at the door, her slender body almost blocking all the light at the door. She probably knew that Situ Ye had already returned.

Shen Mingxi's palm was slightly numb because of excessive force. But compared to her hand, Pei Ya's face, which she spared no effort to hit, was swollen and swollen because of this!

"Young Master..." After Shen Mingxi's slap, Pei Ya quickly used her hand to cover her face but for a long time. Only then did she react and stand by her side, staring at the person who was staring at Shen Mingxi with a strange and cold gaze. It was actually Situ Ye!

He saw everything?

"Young master, I'm sorry!" Knowing that she had said too many wrong things, Pei Ya covered her face and turned to leave.

Situ Ye stared coldly at Shen Mingxi and noticed that Pei Ya was about to leave. He snorted lightly and reached out his hand to grab Pei Ya's arm. It was like a sound that was pulled out from the cold pond and was heard by others. He could not help but tremble slightly, "The person who should apologize is not you."
