After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life Chapter 856 - 846: Understanding

"Little Nine, I’m back. I heard you got injured. How are you?" As soon as Qu Zi’an received the call, he heard the voice filled with concern.

Bi Xia smiled, "Don’t worry, Brother Zi’an, I’m fine. I’m doing great now. By the way, are you back at Xia Family Restaurant or at your own place?"

Qu Zi’an looked at the waiters bustling around him, coughed lightly, and went up to the upstairs lounge, "I’m at Xia Family Restaurant."

"Oh... what?!" Bi Xia widened his eyes, then helplessly covered his forehead, "Brother, keep your voice down, please don’t let my mom find out!"

Seeing Xia Shi, holding a water cup, who sohow appeared behind him, Qu Zi’an opened his mouth, just about to speak, when Xia Shi made a shushing gesture at him. Seeing this, Qu Zi’an imdiately went silent and said to the phone, "Rest assured, I’m in the lounge, no one’s here."

Looking at the surveillance video that 007 sent to him, a slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Next ti, don’t try to fool on my own turf, big brother. The lounge has surveillance caras."

Qu Zi’an: ...

With a light cough, Qu Zi’an turned his back, "Alright then, as long as you’re sure you’re okay, I’m good. Let’s discuss with Aunt Xia about the future direction of Xia Family Restaurant. We can’t just stay in Qing City forever, right?"

Bi Xia nodded, "I agree. My suggestion for the next step is to expand towards Yan City first, and then gradually move towards Beijing."

Hearing Bi Xia’s suggestion, Qu Zi’an rubbed his chin, "Alright, let’s take a look at it later. I’ll hang up now. When you have the ti, co to ’Xia Family Restaurant.’ You haven’t been here for a long ti, and I can’t be the lawyer who always cos to handle things here."

With a light laugh, "’Xia Family Restaurant’ is for mom, so she’s the real boss. It’s better if I don’t go often. If I go, I can’t help but ddle, which isn’t good for mom’s authority at the restaurant."

Listening to Bi Xia’s words, Qu Zi’an exchanged a glance with Xia Shi and pouted, "Alright, alright, but don’t forget, you’re also the second-in-command of ’Xia Family Restaurant;’ you’re an investor in this restaurant."

"I..."

"Don’t speak yet," Qu Zi’an interrupted Bi Xia, "This is a ssage your aunt asked to convey to you, things she wants to tell you. Okay, Little Nine, I’ll hang up now, bye."

"Wait," Bi Xia stopped Qu Zi’an, paused, and softly said, "Tell mom that from today on, she is completely free, and the Bi Family will have nothing to do with her anymore. As for the recipe book, I’ll go and get it myself later."

Qu Zi’an paused, imdiately understanding that Bi Xia hadn’t taken the legal route. He turned and glanced at Xia Shi, whispering, "We’ll talk about this separately when you return. I need to make sure it’s safe, and if it’s not, I’ll help you handle it cleanly. Don’t worry, I’ll convey your ssage, just be safe."

After hanging up, Qu Zi’an looked at Xia Shi, "Aunt Xia, Little Nine asked to tell you that from today, you’re completely free, and the Bi Family will have nothing to do with you."

Xia Shi’s eyes widened as she looked at Qu Zi’an, "Really?"

Qu Zi’an smiled, "Yes, truly, and as for the recipe book, Little Nine should bring it to you today."

Unable to hold back, Xia Shi laughed out loud, "Great, great, great! I’ve finally awaited this day!"

Her speech paused as she suddenly looked seriously at Qu Zi’an, "Xiaxia, did she do sothing dangerous again?"

Blocked by Xia Shi’s words, Qu Zi’an felt a mont of panic, only to see Xia Shi gently shake her head, "No need to hide it from , I can feel what my child is doing. Sotis she cos ho very late, sotis not at all. Over ti, I’ve noticed."

"Xiaxia has grown up. She’s doing all this to protect and Xiaoyuan. As her mother, I can’t stop her at this point, right?" Xia Shi smiled and looked up seriously at Qu Zi’an, "I know you and Yi’an truly consider Xiaxia as your sister, and I know Chi and the others genuinely follow Bi Xia. So, I just hope you all take care of yourselves. If anything happens, co here, Aunt Xia will cook sothing delicious for you all."

"Aunt Xia..."

Smiling, Xia Shi held Qu Zi’an’s hand, "I don’t have any special skills aside from being a good cook. Tell Xiaxia that whatever she does, her mom will always support her, but she must always be careful."
