After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 839 - 829: Explosion

At this moment, Ji Han was unaware that his son was harshly disparaging him from the other end, as he was still immersed in the complex emotions of joy and gloom upon suddenly seeing the son of his first love.

"Is she... well?" Ji Han took a deep breath, "I heard Xia Family Cuisine was opened by Bi Xia; it seems her son is quite promising."

"Yes, very promising," Ji Qiutang plopped into the swivel chair, "And, the person who wants to partner with me in the Antique Trading City is also him."

"Really? That’s impressive?" Ji Han was somewhat surprised, "He looks only sixteen or seventeen, doesn’t he?"

"Well, he had to be impressive; otherwise, his mother, his younger brother, their whole family would still be living in economic hardship," Ji Qiutang said slowly.

Ji Han immediately asked, "What’s going on?"

Ji Qiutang curled his lips, "I’ve sent the details to your email. Oh, by the way, Bi Xia’s father ran off with another woman when Bi Xia was seven or eight, and that woman happens to be the daughter of the Xu Family Banquet in Qing City."

"Alright, enough talking, I need to go see Little Nine."

"Little Nine?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Ah!" Ji Qiutang feigned realization, "Look at my memory, I haven’t told you yet."

"A while ago, A Zhan came to Qing City and got along really well with Little Nine, so he accepted Little Nine into our circle. Little Nine is ranked ninth."

"Oh right, Little Nine is actually Bi Xia, today he was bullied by people from the Beijing Xu Family, got hurt, and is now unconscious at my place."

"What did you say?!" Ji Han immediately burst into anger.

Ji Qiutang squinted his eyes with a smile, but his voice was regretful, "What else can be done? Little Nine suffered terribly at the hands of the Xu Family in Qing City; in a fit of anger, he retaliated and destroyed the Xu Family Banquet. Now, people from Beijing are here to stand up for the Qing City Xu Family and even expressly demanded the Xia Family recipes."

"Xia Family Cuisine was put together by Little Nine for Aunt Xia. Little Nine surely wouldn’t let Aunt face all this, would he? Moreover, they went too far; they even kidnapped Little Nine’s friend as a threat. In the end, when Little Nine refused to give up the Xia Family recipes, they hurt the person. Luckily, we got there quickly, otherwise, it would have been serious..."

As he spoke, Ji Qiutang sighed softly, "Father, you really should know, at that time, after we got there, Little Nine was still holding on, pretending nothing was wrong while sitting in the car. As soon as we got rid of the Beijing Xu Family people, Little Nine collapsed and hasn’t woken up since."

Ji Han slammed his fist on the table, "They are simply too much! How can they bully a child like this! After all, back in the day, Uncle Xia was also..."

"Father, now even Grandpa Xia is nowhere to be found, leaving Aunt and the orphaned and widowed family of three; the youngest is just in fifth grade, still a young child, and Aunt is just a woman. The whole family only has Bi Xia who can do anything, but considering how young he is, as a minor, no matter how capable he is, there will be people who look down on him!"

"Even though Little Nine is our youngest brother among the eight of us, and the people from Beijing know not to mess with those in our circle, the distance is far, and moreover, Little Nine is not someone who likes to make a fuss; he always feels he should solve problems himself and not bother others..."

"Sigh," Ji Qiutang deliberately sighed heavily, "In the end, it all comes down to Little Nine not having anyone behind him to back him up..."

Suddenly, Ji Qiutang paused for a few seconds, walked to the study door, knocked a few times, then ’hmm-ed’ a few times, and said to the phone, "Father, I’ll hang up now. The butler said Little Nine seems to have a fever; I’ll go check it out, otherwise, I can’t explain it to Aunt Xia."

"By the way, I talked a lot today; maybe it was seeing Little Nine that softened my heart uncontrollably, a youngster pretending to be tough all the time, so I might have said a bit more. Goodbye, Father."

After hanging up, Ji Qiutang stretched and reclined on the sofa, discarding all elegance and gentleness, suddenly shrugged and clicked his tongue lightly, "Ji Qiutang, with acting skills like this, you should just go be an actor..."

Thinking of Ji Han, Ji Qiutang chuckled softly, probably at this moment, President Ji is having a meltdown, and would likely fly to Qing City in a few days, especially after seeing that information about Bi Xia and Xia Shi...

Thinking back to when he first saw the information about Bi Xia... It truly was, an explosion!
