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

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1292: Infuriate Him

Looking at Xia Shi sitting opposite her, Bi Xia kept a straight face and stared at her seriously, while Bi Xiaoyuan had already automatically sat down next to Bi Xia as soon as she came back, fully implementing the principle that whatever Bi Xia said was right. Every time Bi Xia said something, Bi Xiaoyuan would nod along, and he even spilled everything he knew without holding anything back.

"Mom told me she really likes Uncle Ji... no, Mr. Ji."

Hearing Bi Xiaoyuan’s words, Ji Han gave a wry smile. Yep, his earlier guess had been spot on. No matter how well‑behaved this kid seemed in front of you, the moment Bi Xia showed up, you could forget about him ever standing on your side.

Yet to show his loyalty, Bi Xiaoyuan kept going, "Mom told me not to tell Brother, or Brother would be unhappy."

"Mr. Ji told me he really, really likes Mom and wants to marry her, but you wouldn’t agree, so he wanted me to help talk you around," Bi Xiaoyuan whispered sneakily into Bi Xia’s ear, "I secretly agreed, because he said he’d buy me chocolate, but he doesn’t know the person I listen to most is Brother."

Ji Han: ...Kid, do you have any idea how loud you are?

Xia Shi: ...This should be my son, right? It should be.

Bi Xia rubbed Bi Xiaoyuan’s little head, lazily lifting her starry eyes to look at Xia Shi and Ji Han. "So, fairy, what exactly is the relationship between you two?"

"Hmph, you still haven’t figured it out?" Seeing that Bi Xia was ignoring him and then seeing his daughter looking all nervous and on edge, Xia Jingshen glanced at Ji Han to the side, feeling both stifled and angry. "This wolf is coveting your mom."

"Hey, Old Xia, you can’t put it like that," a strong, energetic voice rang out as Elder Ji walked in with Elder Zheng. "You old thing, have you forgotten who it was that first came to our Ji Family to arrange a marriage back in the day? If a certain someone hadn’t vanished without a word, Ashi girl would’ve long been our Ji Family’s daughter‑in‑law."

"Hmph." Xia Jingshen gave a cold snort. "I felt like it!"

Seeing Xia Jingshen turn his body away and refuse to look at him, Elder Ji smiled helplessly, then turned his head toward Bi Xia, squinting his eyes in a grin. "You must be Little Nine, right? As expected, a good kid. You take after your mom—pretty."

Hearing this, Bi Xia knew Xia Shi must have told them about her gender already. Her gaze deepened as she glanced at Xia Shi. You trust them that much?

Bi Xia stood up with a faint smile and gave Elder Ji a slight nod. "Hello, Elder Ji, I’m Bi Xia." Then she looked over at Elder Zheng. "Elder Zheng, long time no see."

"Hahahaha, Little Nine," among these old folks, Elder Zheng was the one most familiar with Bi Xia. Hearing her call him ’Elder Zheng,’ he deliberately put on a stern face and walked away from Elder Ji to stand at Bi Xia’s side. "What ’Elder Zheng’? Call me Grandpa Zheng. Don’t worry, Grandpa’s not on their side—Grandpa Zheng is on yours. If you agree to your mom and this Mr. Ji, Grandpa agrees. If you don’t agree, even if all of them agree, Grandpa Zheng will still listen to you and disagree."

Everyone: ...

Xia Jingshen stared at Elder Zheng with a blank face. Scheming old fox! That’s his granddaughter!!!

The corner of Elder Ji’s mouth twitched. Heh, and this is the ’reinforcement’ he brought over?

Hearing Elder Zheng’s words, Bi Xia chuckled softly and lowered her head to rub Little Bun’s small head. "Call him Grandpa Zheng."

Seeing Elder Zheng, Bi Xiaoyuan instantly understood this was someone on their side, so he beamed a huge smile. "Grandpa Zheng~~~"

That soft, milky voice immediately melted Elder Zheng’s heart into a puddle. The wrinkles on his face scrunched together as he laughed so hard he could barely stop. "Ayy~~~ Little Bun, good boy~~~"

Bi Xiaoyuan puffed his cheeks a little and blinked at Elder Zheng. "Grandpa Zheng, you can’t call me Little Bun."

"Why not?"

"Little Bun is Brother’s exclusive nickname; only Brother can call me that. Grandpa Zheng can just call Little Bun ’Xiaoyuan.’"

Watching how utterly Bi Xiaoyuan relied on Bi Xia, Elder Zheng burst out laughing. "Alright then, Xiaoyuan~~~~"

Xia Jingshen’s eyes went red. When he came back, Bi Xiaoyuan hadn’t been even half this affectionate with him, so he ground his teeth and snapped at Elder Zheng, "Old Man Zheng!"

"What?" Elder Zheng said with smug satisfaction as he stood by Bi Xia’s side, provoking Xia Jingshen. "You and I are not on the same side, don’t talk to me." Hmph, he’d run off for so many years while Elder Zheng watched over his daughter, his granddaughter, and his grandson—how could he not collect some benefits!

Heh, this would piss the old thing right off!
