Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 Standing Up for the Family (2)

Suddenly lifting his head, his cold gaze shot toward Old Mrs. Bi and the others.

"I warn you all, don't ever disturb our family life again, or else..." Bi Xia suddenly let out a malicious laugh, his starry eyes darkening, "Be grateful, because you're elders, I can't touch you, but Bi Wu...ha."

"So, don't push me!"

"Or I'll settle the old scores as well!"

"Ah! Haven't you always wanted to keep family scandals secret? You must know I transferred to Yunhui because someone exposed Bi Qingyun's affair, and I think Bi Wu must be very familiar with that person."

In the past, to humiliate her, they exposed their own relative's affair, causing the Bi Family to always be in the spotlight. It's a wonder the Bi Family didn't beat Bi Wu to death over this.

Ignoring the Bi Family, he turned to help Xia Shi and led Bi Yuan out of the Bi Family courtyard to the sports car. Under their surprised gazes, he opened the car door and winked at them, "Please."

"Second Aunt?" A sweet and surprised voice came from behind the car. Bi Jiao, dressed in tight work clothes, stood behind the car, staring at Xia Shi in disbelief.

When her gaze fell on Bi Xia, she paused slightly, then heard Xia Shi respond, and Xia Shi got into the car holding Bi Yuan.

Bi Jiao? Although she was also the eldest child of the Bi family, Bi Jiao was quite reliable, considered an anomaly in the Bi family. She nodded to Bi Jiao, opened the car door, got in, and the fiery red sports car sped away.

"Jiao Jiao, why are you back? Quick, come see your brother! That Bi Xia has really grown up, even knows to hit family members now!"

"Mom, are you saying... that boy was Bi Xia?" Bi Jiao covered her mouth in shock. So, the one driving the sports car was also Bi Xia? How did Bi Xia have a sports car?

"Nonsense!" Wang Caiyun quickly grabbed Bi Jiao, "Hurry, take your brother to the hospital."

Bi Jiao entered and saw Bi Wu's miserable state, paused in shock, then rolled her eyes, "Did he bully Yuanyuan? Got beaten by Bi Xia, huh? Serves him right!"

Meanwhile, still in a daze, Xia Shi and Bi Yuan looked at each other, then at Bi Xia, "Xiaxia, this car..."

"Ah!" Bi Xia suddenly remembered, and while stopping at a red light, leaned back and took a box from the small storage space, handing it to Bi Yuan, "Here, this is your reward for protecting Mom today."

Facing Bi Xia, Bi Yuan still felt a bit awkward, the expression of wanting to be close but not being able to drop the pretense was utterly adorable to Bi Xia. But even so, Bi Xia maintained a slight aloofness, handing the box to Bi Yuan and just watching him.

Bi Yuan pouted, which tugged at his wound, causing him to grimace in pain, but his joy was undeniable, "Wow! It's a game console!"

Xia Shi was startled, "Xiaxia, you need to tell me what happened?!"

Bi Xia shrugged, then took out a few more bags and placed them on Xia Shi, "The mall at home had an event today, a trivia contest where the winner could get a prize of ten thousand yuan or this sports car. I answered an extra question and won both."

"I bought you a dress, a game console, and a backpack for Bi Xiaoyuan," he said, handing a phone box to Xia Shi, "I bought a phone for myself and got one for you too. I'll teach you how to use it when we get back."

Xia Shi was a bit at a loss looking at the things in front of her and listening to Bi Xia's explanation. It felt both real and unreal; the Bi Xia in front of her seemed like a different person, grown up and mature...

"It's true!" Bi Yuan somehow found the car's transaction certificate, a certificate from the event organizer awarded to Bi Xia, and a bag full of...cash.

Xia Shi had no choice but to believe it, feeling both proud and moved, "Our Xiaxia is really amazing, really amazing...knows to protect Mom and little brother, knows to think of Mom and little brother..."

Bi Xia chuckled softly, his voice calm yet extremely solemn, "You're my mom, Bi Xiaoyuan is my brother; it's my responsibility to protect you."

Hearing Bi Xia's words, Xia Shi was overwhelmed with emotion. Suddenly, Bi Yuan spoke up, "I didn't expect you to know how to drive, Bi Xia, that's amazing!"

Xia Shi: ...Wait, seems like I've discovered something serious.

Bi Xia: ...Bi Xiaoyuan, are you sure you're complimenting me?!

Bi Xiaoyuan: Er... did I say something wrong?

In an instant, Xia Shi swallowed all her emotions and, for the first time, lost her composure and shouted, "Bi Xia, stop the car! Driving without a license and under eighteen, how can you be so bold!"
