After a few steps, the smile on Xia Yumo’s face gradually disappeared.
It seems that Qi Miao really knew about the existence of the Zhou family mbers, and even, she might have established contact with them long ago.
This ti, Qi Miao was genuinely frightened by Xia Yumo’s words.
Even a while after Xia Yumo had left, her face remained pale.
"Miaomiao? Miaomiao?"
Qi Ming saw that Qi Miao’s face looked wrong, and he was worried, but he didn’t harbor much suspicion towards her.
It took several calls for Qi Miao to snap out of her trance. When she looked up at Qi Ming’s concerned gaze, she suppressed her fear and smiled reluctantly, "Second Brother."
"What happened to you just now? Who is the Zhou family mber that Xia Yumo ntioned?"
Qi Miao was shocked by Xia Yumo’s words, and at this mont, when she heard Qi Ming ntioning "Zhou family," her heart couldn’t help but tremble.
"I don’t know who she’s talking about."
She wasn’t in the mood to explain too much to Qi Ming, and simply said:
"Second Brother, I suddenly feel unwell. I will go upstairs first."
Qi Ming saw that her face did look unusually terrible, and thought it was because she had been frightened by Qi Baiyan’s temper earlier. He didn’t think too much about it and said:
"Alright, I’ll accompany you to rest in your room."
Qi Miao nodded and didn’t refuse. Right now, her mind was filled with thoughts about Xia Yumo’s ntion of the Zhou family mbers.
How in the world did Xia Yumo know about the existence of the Zhou family?
If she knew, does it an Qi Xiao and Gu Junhang also knew?
Had they set their sights on the Zhou family?
No way, if they knew, they would surely have captured the Zhou family mbers and questioned her by now. Why hadn’t they taken any action yet, and even allowed her to enter the house?
But if they didn’t know, how did Xia Yumo find out?
Qi Miao’s mind was a ss, and she had no interest in paying attention to Qi Ming.
But she was well aware that Qi Ming was the only one who could protect her now, and she couldn’t let him down.
"Miaomiao, your face looks terrible. Do you feel unwell sowhere? I’ll ask Grandpa Chen to take a look."
"No need."
Qi Miao shook her head. At the mont, she had to reduce her presence.
Further fussing would only make the Qi family mbers dislike her even more.
"Second Brother, I’m okay. Maybe it’s just low blood sugar from not having breakfast."
"I’ll have the servant bring you breakfast."
Qi Ming was about to pick up the bedside phone to call the internal line, but Qi Miao stopped him.
"Second Brother, let lie down for a while and go get it myself. There’s no need to trouble the servants."
Hearing Qi Miao’s words, full of unresentnt and compromise, Qi Ming felt distressed and sad.
He thought she was trying not to make an issue out of it and did not even dare to trouble the servants because she wanted to avoid angering the family mbers.
Though being the main child of the family, her life under soone else’s roof was worse than that of a servant.
Qi Ming felt sad and angry at the sa ti.
Even favoritism shouldn’t be taken to such an extre.
Wasn’t she even allowed to order the servants around?
Qi Ming swallowed his anger and said:
"I’ll go downstairs and bring it up for you."
Qi Miao did not stop him this ti, letting him go.
Apart from lowering her presence, she also wanted to evoke Qi Ming’s sympathy, care, and resentnt towards the Qi family mbers.
Only in this way would Qi Ming stand by her side once the truth was exposed.
After all, she had no say in the matter when the Zhou family mbers switched the child. When the ti ca, it would be the Zhou family mbers who would pay the price, and she would have nothing to do with it.
