Chapter 404: Chapter Three Hundred Ninety-Nine: Threat
The teenager’s voice was gentle and soothing, washing away the panic in everyone’s hearts. Seeing the teenager holding his mother protectively, everyone couldn’t help but look deeply at the teenager, their respect and emotion indescribable.
Seeing her brother injured, Bi Xiaoyuan cried even more fiercely. Bi Xia pushed Xia Shi towards Bi Xiaoyuan, "Mom, you go stay with Bi Xiaoyuan first."
Xia Shi nodded, came to Bi Xiaoyuan’s side, and embraced her. In her mind, she replayed the image of the teenager who stood in front of her just now.
Her heart ached. Her daughter had grown up without her realizing it; her daughter was now taller than her, yet she hadn’t noticed.
Her daughter... could now stand on her own and become the pillar of the family. But she would rather have Bi Xia cling to her, acting spoiled, secretly dating like a normal girl her age. All these changes resulted from her wrong decision.
It’s all her fault!
"Mom..." Her sleeve was gently tugged. Xia Shi looked down at Bi Xiaoyuan, whose eyes were still teary. Bi Xiaoyuan sniffed and said in a sticky voice, "Mom, don’t be like this. Brother will be sad if he sees you like this."
Bi Xiaoyuan lowered her head, "Brother has worked so hard for us. If we keep crying like this, feeling sorry for him, he’ll be sad too... So Yuanyuan thinks, now that brother is protecting us, in the future, I’ll protect you. So, don’t be sad."
"Brother said that you have done so much for us. It’s not easy for you to raise both me and brother alone, so it’s okay if we mature a little earlier..."
"Besides, I even made a pinky promise with brother," Bi Xiaoyuan looked at Bi Xia standing in front of her, like a superhero, "to protect mom well, to let mom forget all the past things, and to keep a smile on mom’s face!"
Leaning gently against Xia Shi, Bi Xiaoyuan tried hard to hold back her tears, "Mom, when I grow up, can I protect brother a little more? I also want brother to experience the feeling of being protected, to always have a smile on his face, and not be so tired, okay?"
Xia Shi’s heart ached intensely. She nodded, choking up, "Okay, very good, we must do this!"
[Your Majesty...] 007 looked at Bi Xia with concern.
Bi Xia shook his head, his keen hearing catching every word of Bi Xiaoyuan and Bi Xia’s conversation. His eyes were slightly red. Two fools!
He suddenly lifted his starry eyes and looked at Old Mrs. Bi, took a step forward, causing Old Mrs. Bi to step back involuntarily. Seeing Bi Xia not stopping and walking towards her, the dark look in his eyes made Old Mrs. Bi’s heart tremble.
Looking around and seeing no one else, not even the usual protectors, Old Mrs. Bi finally felt scared. She indeed heard Bi Xia say slowly, "Old Mrs. Bi, you are really getting... more remarkable..."
Swallowing hard, Old Mrs. Bi looked behind her and saw a long corridor. Just then, her eyes lit up. She saw the elevator rising and almost reaching their floor!
She suddenly turned and swung her cane at Bi Xia’s head. Bi Xia grabbed the cane without changing his expression, coldly watching Old Mrs. Bi throw the cane and run towards the elevator.
Bi Xia didn’t chase her, just walked leisurely. Seeing she was almost at the elevator, but moving slowly due to her legs, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Old Mrs. Bi saw five or six burly men coming out. Her heart skipped a beat as she lowered her head and tried to quickly walk past them.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by a hand. Looking up, she saw a burly man looking down at her. Old Mrs. Bi took a step back in fright and turned to look at Bi Xia.
With a calm expression, Bi Xia held Old Mrs. Bi’s cane. With a slight force, the cane snapped in half with a loud crack, shocking everyone. Old Mrs. Bi screamed in terror.
With a half-smile, Bi Xia approached Old Mrs. Bi step by step. When he reached her side, he bent down slightly and whispered in her ear, "The hits you gave my brother and my mother, I’ll repay each one to your son, don’t worry..."
Seeing Old Mrs. Bi trembling, her chest heaving, Bi Xia sneered, shoved the two halves of the cane into her hand, and said to Wang Xing, "Take the old lady for a full-body check-up. We don’t want any problems later blamed on us. Remember, safely send her ’home.’
