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

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1289: This Thing Called Selfishness

When arriving at the Ji Family, the news that Bi Xia had emerged with X Group at the Xu Group had already hit major outlets. However, the only image showing Bi Xia was of her with Xu Renfei, both wearing large sunglasses, driving a flashy, ostentatious sports car away.

After interviewing the directors of the Xu Group, everyone now knows that Bi Xia used decisive means to secure Xu Renfei’s position. She is now the largest shareholder of the Xu Group and holds the primary decision-making power. But Bi Xia still delegated all these rights to Xu Renfei, so the Xu Group remains as it was. The only difference now is that they have a powerful ally.

While the Xu Group faced a crisis of leadership change and stock turmoil, An Yi, the instigator, was taken away by an ambulance. The journalists learned that An Yi was furious and wanted to harm Bi Xia, but was subdued by Bi Xia’s people. As for what exactly happened, the so-called insiders no longer spoke, relying only on the journalists’ imagination. But with X Group standing before them, even though it is the leader in Qing City, it still demands respect. Hence, the journalists dare not let their imagination run too wild, only providing a brief account.

When this news broke, those who had only heard rumors of Bi Xia’s presence in Beijing now fully believed that she was there and had saved the Xu Group. Those close to Bi Xia applauded, while those who previously contemplated seizing X Group now abandoned their thoughts.

After all, the Xu Group might not be as formidable as the Qin or Ji Families in Beijing, but it holds a certain status there. When An Yi returned, everyone thought Xu Renfei and the Xu Group were doomed. Even Chu Wu planned to make some time to support Xu Renfei, but Bi Xia resolved the matter soon after her arrival. This not only highlights X Group’s power but also makes everyone aware that Bi Xia is not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, just a few days ago, celebrity chef Xia Jingshen returned to Beijing, seemingly intending to revive Xia Family cuisine. Simultaneously, the Ji Family’s head, Ji Han, was openly pursuing Xia Jingshen’s daughter, who is also Bi Xia’s mother. If all goes as expected, Bi Xia is likely to become the stepson of the Ji Family. With these two identities alone, no one dares to provoke Bi Xia easily, not to mention she is the president of X Group and the Pavilion Master of Nine Pavilion.

Watching the news on television, a reporter said with a complex expression, "Honestly, I don’t want to introduce all this. After all, we all know Bi Xia is only 16 years old. At 16, we were cautiously falling in love, hiding our poor grades from our parents. But Bi Xia... I feel like my high school years were utterly low in comparison."

This reporter, who couldn’t help but voice their feelings, was unaware that these words would lead them down a unique path to report news differently, eventually reaching the pinnacle of the journalism world.

"Isn’t it something to be proud of?" Ji Han teased as he came forward with a light laugh, watching Xia Shi holding Little Bun while watching the news. "Having such an outstanding daughter? From what I know, the situation on Fei’s side was indeed tense. Initially, Qiutian even called me to suggest we help them at a critical moment. But unexpectedly, it wasn’t necessary for us to act."

As he spoke, Ji Han held Xia Shi’s hand and smiled, "Little Nine is truly amazing."

Xia Shi returned Ji Han’s smile, "Yes, Xiaxia always surprises me. It’s not that I don’t want her to excel, but there’s always a sense of discord. Perhaps it’s because the previous image of Xiaxia left such a deep impression on me, to the point that I’m unaware of some of her skills..."

"Do you know?" Xia Shi looked at Ji Han, "Xiaxia understands the complexities of this society better than I do. That’s the most painful part to me because I always feel that I didn’t protect her well enough, causing her to experience society’s harshness too early."

Listening to Xia Shi’s words to Ji Han, Chef Xia Jingshen, who was originally sitting on the side and felt displeased by Ji Han holding his daughter’s hand, fell silent. He quietly glanced at the news, observing the reports with a complex gaze, hiding his emotions.

Why does Bi Xia understand the harshness of society... because she has experienced society’s harshness herself... and all of this is undeniably connected to him... Clearly, he should have been the closest and most reliable person.

Just like Xia Nian said, he made mistakes out of selfishness to preserve his daughter’s happiness, while his daughter made mistakes out of her own selfishness to survive within the Bi Family. Selfishness... truly isn’t a good trait.
