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

Chapter 716 - 706: I will protect, that’s enough

Looking at Xia Shi crying uncontrollably, Bi Xia felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She knew the pain inside Xia Shi.Fearing that her child would go to jail, and even more afraid that her child would go to jail because of her.

Hating her own helplessness, hating her own incompetence, and even more hating the man who ruined her entire life.

Bi Xia lifted her arm to wrap Xia Shi in her embrace and walked into the office. She gently closed the office door, leaned in to hold Xia Shi, and murmured softly, "Alright, it’s okay, don’t cry anymore..."

"Next time, I’ll..."

"It’s not you!" Xia Shi shook her head, crying, "It’s me. I won’t make you worry anymore, won’t act recklessly anymore. If I have the ability, I can solve it myself. If I don’t, I’ll wait for you all to solve it!"

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry Xiaxia. Mom shouldn’t have slapped you, shouldn’t have wronged you. I’m sorry!"

Bi Xia only felt a surge of bitterness in her heart; the grievances hidden deep within her heart emerged.

How could she not feel wronged, how could she not feel wronged!

Clearly, everything was for Mom, clearly that man bullied Mom, she stood up for Mom, yet she got slapped. No matter how strong Bi Xia appeared in front of others, she was still a girl. That slap shattered her self-esteem and all her efforts.

But... Xia Shi didn’t do it intentionally, it wasn’t intentional...

"Xiaxia, is Mom weak? Clearly, I’ve already gotten much better..."

"It’s okay, you have me..." Gently placing Xia Shi on the sofa, Bi Xia murmured as she coaxed her to sleep. Bi Xia pulled at the corner of her lips, still like a child...

Rising slowly, Bi Xia looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Her brilliant starry eyes dulled. If possible, she also wanted at this moment to lean into someone’s embrace and cry. No, just leaning would be enough...

Leaning slightly against the floor-to-ceiling window, crossing her arms in front of her to hug herself, Bi Xia rested her head against the glass, looking at the faint reflection of herself. Her starry eyes slowly closed, and Bi Xia only felt a familiar warmth from behind her.

Fourth Brother, is it you holding me...

Bi Xia did not see it. At this moment, the pendant on her collarbone shone with a faint reddish-golden light and then appeared behind her in a form invisible to the naked eye, gently enveloping her.

"What’s the matter?" Looking at the reddish-golden spiritual power surrounding the youth’s fingertips, Chu Wu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Qin Zhan’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, tightening the spiritual power bit by bit. After a long time, when all the spiritual power dissipated, he slowly turned around, "It’s Jiu."

"Little Nine?" Chu Wu frowned, "Something happened over there again?"

"Bi Qingyun." Qin Zhan casually tossed out three words.

Chu Wu instantly understood and snorted coldly, "I would say that, in this life, if Little Nine can’t deal with the scumbag and bitch family of Bi Qingyun, her mom won’t be able to move on, and therefore, Little Nine won’t be able to move on."

"In Little Nine’s heart, her mom has sacrificed too much for her and Little Bun, so she has to be strong and face everything," Chu Wu paused, "But even the strongest person... will have a day when they collapse..."

"Xiao Wu, tell me," Qin Zhan looked at his own palm, "What makes Jiu feel helpless and desperate?"

Chu Wu thought for a while, suddenly told Qin Zhan, "I have heard."

"Hm?" Qin Zhan raised his head abruptly, "Heard what."

Chu Wu said slowly, "Bi Xia’s inner fear."

"When her family gets hurt..."

"When her family doesn’t trust her..."

"When Qin Zhan doesn’t want her anymore..."

Qin Zhan fell silent, then after a long time, he chuckled lowly, "The last one will never happen..."

"Since Jiu wants to protect her family, it’s fine. Then I, Qin Zhan, will protect her, enough."
