Chapter 1954: 1954. Gu Xia Extra Chapter (156)

As Qi Miao became more considerate, Qi Ming’s guilt only deepened.

He felt useless, unable to stand up for her even at her own birthday banquet, and then she had to comfort him instead.

Looking down at her gently clasped white hands, the expression in Qi Ming’s eyes was unreadable.

Qi Miao didn’t know what Qi Ming was thinking, but as she saw him remain silent, she became a little worried in her heart.

Although she had left the Qi family, she really didn’t want to be completely estranged from them.

She still had several million in savings, but since childhood, she had always lived an upper-class lifestyle. Several million was what the Qi family would spend on a wristwatch.

She simply couldn’t endure such a day of falling from the clouds to the mud pit.

If Qi Ming couldn’t find a way for her to return to the Qi Family, then she would have to think of other ways.

Seeing Qi Miao’s knitted brows and unhidden sadness in her eyes, Qi Ming felt anxious.

Grabbing Qi Miao’s hands, he assured her:

"Miaomiao, don’t worry, even if you can’t return to the Qi family, I won’t let you be wronged in the slightest."

As he spoke, a flash of determination appeared in his eyes.

"On your birthday, I’ll come to celebrate it with you."

Anyway, Xia Yumo had so many people celebrating her birthday; they didn’t need him, the dispensable Second Brother.

But Qi Miao wasn’t satisfied with that, she wanted everyone’s blessings and to let everyone know who the Qi Family’s Young Miss should be.

She couldn’t bear to be kicked out of the Qi family, unclear and un-clean, becoming ordinary people.

"Second Brother, thank you, I’m very happy."

Although she said this, there was a hint of forlornness in her eyes that Qi Ming could perceive.

Qi Ming’s performance never disappointed her.

Seeing her forcing a smile while looking extremely desolate, Qi Ming’s heart sank, and he asked worriedly:

"What’s the matter, Miaomiao? Are you not happy?"

"No, I am very happy. Second Brother, don’t think too much about it. And don’t go against mom and dad anymore."

Qi Miao stretched out her hand and gently wiped away a tear that wasn’t very noticeable.

"You don’t worry about that, just tell me, are you unhappy or not?"

This time, instead of denying it, Qi Miao bit her lower lip and remained silent, with reddened eyes.

Qi Ming sighed, raised his hand to pat Qi Miao’s shoulder, and said:

"Actually, even if you don’t say it, I know that you’re very sad in your heart. But mom is cold-hearted. You’ve been her daughter for thirty years, and she doesn’t even cherish a little bit of affection."

As he spoke of this, Qi Ming was full of resentment.

Immediately, he added:

"It must be that Xia Yu Mo who’s sown discord in mom’s ear. Now that mom has finally found her and brought her back, she listens to her in everything."

Qi Miao wisely avoided arguing about Xia Yu Mo this time, instead looking even more aggrieved, her face flushed, and she remained silent.

The more she acted like this, the deeper Qi Ming’s hostility towards Xia Yu Mo grew.

After venting his anger, Qi Ming continued:

"Right now, mom is still prejudiced against you, plus Xia Yu Mo is sowing discord by her side. So for a while, mom won’t change her attitude towards you."

Qi Miao looked up at him with red-rimmed eyes, full of unspoken grievances.

All of this, Qi Ming saw but was helpless.

Now, the Qi Family was dominated by big brother, and their parents were no longer interfering in family affairs. With their singular focus on Xia Yu Mo, even though he wanted to stand up for Qi Miao, there was no way to do so for the time being.
