After school, Shi Miao had just returned to Lanting Apartment when her phone rang.
He took his phone out of his pocket, swiped to answer, and saw a flower.
A Flower: "Holy crap, boss, breaking news! This Qin Chu is a fake! The real Qin Chu is dead!"
Shi Miao: "Tsk, I already know that your efficiency has become so slow."
A Flower: "How did you know? And this fake product is related to a reclusive family."
Shi Miao: "I guessed it. Can you tell me something I don't know?"
A Flower: "Oh, excuse me. It's the Shi family, the head of the hidden families. By the way, they're related to your clan."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else?"
A Flower: "We can't find anything for now. As you know, the hidden families are above all other forces in M ​​Continent. Without someone to introduce you, you can't even get into their territory. But I heard that our arch-enemy, the King organization, seems to have started doing business with the hidden families. Look at you, have you really worked hard all these years? Tell me what kind of lousy name you chose back then. I still feel ashamed to say it now."
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. "Are you asking for a beating?"
A Flower: "Ahem, I suggest you take some time to go back to M Continent and investigate in person."
Shi Miao: "Okay, you guys keep investigating. I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Miao sat cross-legged on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
The Shi family... Her name was given to her by her grandfather, who found her and raised her. She had asked why she was called Shi Miao, and her grandfather said that when he found her, there was a piece of paper with the words "Shi Miao" written on it, so he gave her that name.
Actually, when the Gu family found her, she was suspicious. According to the Gu family, they had switched babies at the hospital years ago, so why was she found on the roadside? However, the DNA test showed that she was indeed Gu Yunbai's daughter, so she didn't think too much about it and returned to H City with Gu Qingshan.
Looking back now, it does seem strange in many ways. If that note really was hers, then am I truly related to the Gu family by blood...?
Shi Miao rubbed her temples, picked up her phone, found Gu Yunbai's number that she had blocked, dialed it, and it was answered after a few rings.
Gu Yunbai: "Miaomiao? Didn't you block me? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
Shi Miao: "Let's meet after school tomorrow."
Gu Yunbai was somewhat surprised and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Have you forgiven your father?"
Shi Miao couldn't help but frown, but thinking about what she had to do, she gave a vague "hmm".
Gu Yunbai: "Okay, okay, see you tomorrow."

The next day, after school, Shi Miao went to the coffee shop where she had arranged to meet Gu Yunbai.
"Miaomiao, over here." Gu Yunbai called out when he saw the girl enter.
Shi Miao glanced at Gu Yunbai's location, put her hands in her pockets, and slowly walked over.
"What would you like to drink?" Gu Yunbai asked.
"Latte," Shi Miao said casually, putting down her backpack.
Then Gu Yunbai began to play the role of a good father, recounting his own hardships.
Shi Miao's eyelids twitched as she listened, her fingers tightening around the cup, suppressing the urge to hit him.
While Gu Yunbai wasn't looking, Shi Miao took the cup in her hand under the table and spilled it all over his shoes and pants. "Oops, slippery hand."
Gu Yunbai's face stiffened, and he forced a smile as he suppressed his anger and said, "It's nothing, I'm going to the restroom."
Seeing him stand up and walk towards her, Shi Miao secretly stuck out her foot and tripped him. Gu Yunbo lost his balance and was about to fall face down when Shi Miao grabbed his hair and pulled him back.
After regaining his footing, Gu Yunbai rubbed his head with a contorted expression, finally unable to keep up the act any longer. He turned around, wanting to question Shi Miao.
Shi Miao picked up her backpack and said before he could speak, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Shi Miao! You stop right there!" Gu Yunbai roared, watching Shi Miao's retreating figure without turning her head.
"Sir, please refrain from making loud noises in public places," a waiter nearby reminded him.
Gu Yunbai felt all eyes on him, his face flushed red, and he felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. He turned around, grabbed his phone from the table, and was about to leave.
"Sir, you haven't paid your bill yet," the waiter said cautiously.
Gu Yunbai tossed a card to him, gritting his teeth as he said, "Swipe the card."
I never expected to end up in such a mess today, not only losing face so badly, but also being utterly humiliated by Shi Miao. This Shi Miao is really my nemesis.
