Though she wanted to test the waters, she didn’t dare to play with fire. She hurriedly stood up and said:
"Second Brother, what are you talking about? I said the wrong thing, and it’s right for mom to criticize . Stop talking about it."
At this mont, Qi Ming was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out. Apart from Qi Miao, no one ca forward to plead for him, and they just looked at him coldly.
Gu Junhang did not continue to make a fuss. He loosened Qi Ming’s finger gently and easily, as if what had just happened was just a trivial farce.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, please have so tea."
In the tray, there were only five teacups. Besides Qi’s father and mother and Qi Xiao, there were only cups for the couple, without any share for Qi Ming and Qi Miao.
Such a direct disregard brought an even more overwhelming humiliation to Qi Ming and Qi Miao.
He sat down beside Xia Yumo, his smile still gentle, but his deep eyes were filled with turbulence.
His gaze slowly looked over at Qi Miao, who wanted to cause trouble but had no guts. The storm hidden in his eyes caused Qi Miao to shudder.
"This unknown young lady..."
"What do you an by ’unknown’? Her na is Qi Miao, and she’s my little sister."
Qi Ming couldn’t take it and interrupted Gu Junhang’s words directly.
However, Gu Junhang just smiled and pretended to be innocent as he asked:
"Is she still surnad Qi now?"
His counter-question was like a bolt from the blue, directly striking Qi Ming and Qi Miao.
Whether Qi Miao could still bear the surna Qi now depended entirely on the Qi family’s decision, and had nothing to do with Qi Ming and Qi Miao themselves.
Even their current efforts to ingratiate themselves with Xia Yumo might not be enough to protect her identity as the Qi Family’s Young Miss if Xia Yumo only said one sentence.
Qi Ming and Qi Miao’s faces changed several tis, their eyes wide and glaring, gritting their teeth as they looked at Gu Junhang’s still gentle smile. They tried hard to squeeze a few words out of their minds to refute, but they couldn’t say a word. In the end, Qi Ming could only sit down with his face flushed, not knowing whether it was sha or anger.
Gu Junhang ignored her and instead looked at Qi Miao, saying:
"The reason we don’t have a nanny in our ho is that I like to live a two-person world with my wife and don’t want outsiders to disturb our lives. As for housekeeping, we have an hourly worker to do it, and I’ll do the things the worker didn’t finish. I will never tire my wife. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Although Gu Junhang said this to Qi Miao, he was actually explaining it to Qi’s father and mother.
They were his parents-in-law, and he didn’t want them to misunderstand him.
Qi Miao’s face was extrely pale at this mont, as if everyone in the family was slapping her face, leaving her nowhere to hide.
After saying this, Gu Junhang didn’t bother to listen to her response and withdrew his gaze.
The original pleasantness of their first eting was marred by these two unreasonable people.
Xia Yumo took the tea from the tray and gave it to Qi’s father and mother and Qi Xiao, completely ignoring those two troublemakers, just like her husband.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, have so tea. There’s no need to be angry about this trivial matter. What does an outsider know about the way my husband and I get along? It’s understandable if they speak wrongly."
Xia Yumo’s words seed to be helping Qi Miao out, but the term "outsider" was the harshest slap to Qi Miao’s face.
If there was sothing Qi Miao dreaded and feared the most at this ti, it was that she was now an outsider to the Qi family mbers.
