After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1232 - 1229: Slander

Old buddy?Bi Xia raised an eyebrow at the lazy black cat beside her, then looked at Xia Jingshen who seemed lost in memories. With a twinkle in her eyes, Bi Xia suddenly turned and hugged Xiao Wu, crying out, "Xiao Wu, did you see that? Turns out someone betrayed us early on; the saying ’a person’s heart is elsewhere’ must be talking about this stinky cat!"

007: ......

Xia Jingshen: ......

Standing behind Xia Jingshen with a bewildered look, Xia Nian: ??? What just happened?

Looking at Bi Xia wailing in Xiao Wu’s arms, it’s easy to tell she’s fake crying, but unfortunately, Meng Chi, who usually acts upright and serious, isn’t beside her now. Instead, there’s Xiao Wu, a huge fan who wishes to snuggle into Bi Xia’s arms every day and be hugged by her constantly. Based on 007’s understanding of Xiao Wu, this kid will definitely seize the chance to exaggerate, narrating about how bad people are and then adding drama, declaring his unwavering loyalty to Bi Xia.

Sure enough, the little three or four-year-old kid watched Bi Xia with expectant eyes, then gave 007 a meaningful smile and said, "Sis, don’t cry, Xiao Wu will always be by your side!"

"I was wondering why Brother 007 has been so absent-minded lately, turns out..."

"Xiao Wu!" 007 pounced on Xiao Wu’s impudent little face, gritting his teeth and saying, "If you dare to babble nonsense again, I’ll spill all your strange behavior from these days!"

Xiao Wu: ...

Xia Nian swallowed nervously; did he just hear it wrong, the cat... spoke?! Staring at Xia Jingshen sitting in front of him, it’s evident this man already knows... What the heck! Xia Nian feels like he’s going to collapse; this world is too crazy, cats can talk now! Is the animal kingdom going to change into a world where animals can talk next?!

"Stay calm," Xia Jingshen glanced at Xia Nian, who was exhibiting fright, "Why so startled over something you’ve never seen before? Have some dignity."

Xia Nian: ...

Observing Xia Nian’s expression, Bi Xia touched her chin; it seems Xia Nian doesn’t know about 007’s existence. Catching Xiao Wu giggling cheerfully from the corner of her eye, she lightly sighed, matching the current situation with a helpless tone, "Vice President Xia, no need to fear, this cat has been with me for a long time, but..."

Pretending to have difficulty speaking, Bi Xia wrapped up her words with a sigh, took a deep breath looking at Xia Nian, "Vice President Xia, I mentioned before, I’m here to find you, I really have something to ask of you."

But Xia Nian didn’t take Bi Xia’s bait, instead, he awkwardly raised a hand to stop Bi Xia from speaking, confident Xia Jingshen couldn’t see him from behind, gestured her to stop talking by nudging his lips and said in a serious voice, "Little Nine, you’ll talk about your stuff later. I think we should resolve our family matters first. You’re so smart; you must have guessed it already, so stop teasing your grandpa, life hasn’t been easy for him these years."

Bi Xia: ...You wouldn’t have to nudge your lips at me behind his back; maybe I’d actually believe you...

Speaking without waiting for Bi Xia to respond, Xia Nian turned straight towards the door, leaving a remark, "You guys talk and reminisce; just avoid fights," then paused, looked at Xia Jingshen, seriously saying, "Sir, please do introduce me thoroughly since I’ll become Little Nine’s big uncle in the future."

Turning to Bi Xia and stressing, "Your grandpa has a bad temper, but I think yours is worse than his, so if he gets angry, just consider him as having a menopause phase, don’t hit him, he’s no match for you."

"...Get out!" Xia Jingshen kicked off his shoe at Xia Nian. Xia Nian caught that shoe swiftly, waved it, and said to Xia Jingshen, "To prevent you from getting mad at Little Nine, I’ll confiscate the shoe first, remember to curb your temper!"

Watching Xia Nian cheerfully leave with a silly smile on his face, seemingly accustomed to Xia Jingshen’s disposition, not fearing him at all, Bi Xia paused and said softly, "Mom hasn’t seen her dad for a long time."

"I..."

"She told me she missed her father dearly."

"Little Nine... I..." Xia Jingshen’s eyes reddened instantly.

"It’s alright, Mom never blamed you," Bi Xia smiled slightly, seeing Xia Jingshen’s touched expression and said, "Although during holidays she would light incense for Grandma, telling her you were an irresponsible father who hunted for a stepmother when she was very young and left her behind. If you truly went below, let Grandma remember to divorce you."

Xia Jingshen: "!!! This unfilial daughter! Slander! All slander!"
