"Mom, sister is so happy!" Qi Miao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he must change the subject as soon as possible, otherwise there will be another family war. "Mom, sister, come and try this peach, it's really delicious."
As he spoke, Qi Miao took out two big, red peaches from the basket and waved them in front of Mo Yan.
"Sister, let me peel one for you to try!" Qi Miao smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.
As he spoke, Qi Miao took out a fruit knife from the table and peeled the fruit, ignoring Ruan Lingyu's jealous look.
This peach has a crisp, sweet taste and is covered with a layer of fuzz. You can only eat it after peeling the skin.
After Qi Miao peeled the fruit clean, she handed it to Mo Yan like a treasure and said, "Sister, how about trying it?"
Mo Yan glanced at the peach and sneered, "With your skill, you've only peeled off half of the flesh. If the fruit wasn't so big, I'm afraid you'd be able to see the core directly."
Qi Miao: Well, it’s not that bad, I just peeled a little too much!
Ruan Lingyu couldn't accept Mo Yan's attitude. "Mo Yan, what's wrong with you? Your sister is kindly peeling fruit for you, why are you still acting like this? Why don't you apologize to your sister right away?"
Ruan Lingyu complained in her heart that she hadn't even tasted the peaches peeled by Miaomiao herself, and she was still picky?
"Mom, my sister is right, I didn't peel it well. How about I peel a better one for you?" Qi Miao immediately comforted Ruan Lingyu.
Only after hearing Qi Miao's words did Ruan Lingyu put away her dissatisfaction.
After comforting both of them, Qi Miao collapsed on the sofa: It's so uncomfortable to be worried every day!
In the evening, Qi Yuankai came back and asked Qi Miao about her well-being.
Qi Miao had a good rest at home for the night.
Qi Miao finally woke up at ten o'clock the next morning.
The soft white soles of the feet stepped on the soft cashmere carpet, and the white silk nightgown on the body gave people an ethereal feeling.
With a dazed head, he opened the door with light steps.
"Miss, why did you come out without shoes?" The servant in the corridor was cleaning and was surprised to see Qi Miao coming out barefoot.
"Ah! It's okay." Qi Miao then remembered that he was not wearing shoes, but he was only stunned for a moment.
The weather now is not cold.
"No, miss, you are weak and cannot come out without shoes. If the lady finds out, she will scold us," said the servant seriously.
The servant was about thirty years old and had been working in the Qi family for ten years.
"Okay." Qi Miao went back into the room, put on a pair of comfortable slippers and walked out.
Qi Miao went downstairs, but did not see Qi's parents in the living room.
At this moment, someone came out with a tray. It was Qi Miao's breakfast. After seeing Qi Miao coming downstairs, another servant immediately took Qi Miao's breakfast out from the kitchen.
"Where's mom?" Qi Miao asked.
"The lady went out early in the morning," the servant replied respectfully.
Even though the servants in the house knew that Qi Miao was not the daughter of the Qi family, no one showed any disrespect towards her. Instead, they ignored Mo Yan, the real daughter.
The main reason is that Qi's mother Ruan Lingyu cares about Qi Miao very much. In comparison, the real daughter Mo Yan is a rebellious person. Every time she sees Mo Yan's expression that keeps people at a distance, Ruan Lingyu can't help but compare her with Qi Miao, and she likes the considerate and sensible Qi Miao even more.
"Well, where is your sister?" Qi Miao asked again, chewing a sandwich in her mouth.
"Miss Mo Yan went out early in the morning."
"Did sister tell them where she was going?" Qi Miao asked again, but after asking, she felt annoyed. How could the eldest sister tell them where she was going?
Not surprisingly, the servant shook his head.
"So, during the three days I was away, there weren't any conflicts between my sister and Mom and Dad, right?"
"No, Miss Mo Yan has not been home these days. She only came back yesterday afternoon."
"Oh..." Qi Miao took another sip of milk and thought to himself: There shouldn't be any conflicts when I'm not at home, right?
"Miss, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it." The servant looked embarrassed.
"You say." Qi Miao rested his chin on the table with his hand, waiting for the servant to speak.
"Miss Mo Yan has been away from home for the past few days. Madam is very angry and annoyed. It's best not to get too close to Miss Mo Yan, so as not to make Madam angry."
The conflict between her family and Mo Yan has existed since she came back, and the servants were worried that Qi Miao would be disliked by Ruan Lingyu for speaking up for Mo Yan.
At this time, the door was opened and Mo Yan walked in leisurely. Qi Miao had his back to him, but for some reason he felt a chill on his back. He heard light footsteps behind him and guessed that it must be Mo Yan who came back.
Qi Miao didn't look back. "You're wrong. My sister is the one closest to Mom and Dad. Mom won't really be angry with her. Besides, Mom and Dad have raised me for so many years, I should repay them well. I should ease the relationship between my sister and the family and make everyone in the family like her. A harmonious family is the best!"
After saying this, Qi Miao felt uneasy. Did she say the right thing? Did the big sister know she meant no harm? Would she not let her little brother bully her?
Qi Miao asked herself this question three times in her heart, fearing that she would say something wrong and upset Mo Yan. What if she moved out of the Qi family? Would her younger brothers think that her family treated her badly and turn against her family? If they did, she would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.
"But, miss, I still have something to say but I'm not sure whether I should say it..." The servant seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"If you don't know whether you should say it or not, don't say it!" Mo Yan's cold voice came from behind.
The servant was so shocked that he shuddered, "Miss Mo Yan!"
"You go and do your work." Qi Miao sent the servant away and looked at Mo Yan with her big watery eyes. "Sister is back."
"Getting up at this time? How lazy!" Mo Yan complained sarcastically.
Of course, it’s already past ten in the morning, and it will be noon in another hour or two.
Qi Miao pursed her red lips and muttered, "I didn't get enough rest in the mountains these days, so I just wanted to stay in bed for a while."
Mo Yan looked at Qi Miao without saying anything.
"Sister, what are you holding in your hand?" Qi Miao asked curiously, staring at the bag in Mo Yan's hand.
"It's a gift from someone else. I don't like it, so I'll give it to you." Mo Yan threw the bag in his hand towards Qi Miao.
Qi Miao subconsciously caught the bag and opened it. "Wow, is this pineapple cake? I love pineapple cake the most!"
"It only has a shelf life of three days. I'm too lazy to throw it into the trash can, so you can eat it!" Mo Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Qi Miao, who was full of joy, and said lightly.
"Thank you, sister!" Qi Miao excitedly accepted the pineapple cakes.
After saying that, Mo Yan left the Qi family again.
