After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 917 - 906: Bold Enough

Elder Zheng, having hung up the phone, sat heavily on the sofa with a cane, contemplating what Bi Xia had just said. Suddenly, he tugged at the corner of his mouth in resignation, murmuring softly, "Really just as stubborn as that old fool!"

"Dad, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

Zheng Wanruo knocked on the door to Elder Zheng’s bedroom, then pushed it open and saw him sitting on the sofa, frowning slightly, "What time is it? Staying up this late, aren’t you afraid of ending up in the hospital tomorrow!"

"Shoo!" Elder Zheng spat at Zheng Wanruo, "What kind of daughter talks to her old man like that?"

He said, proudly lifting his chin, "Besides, when have you ever seen your dad in a hospital?"

"You never used to," Zheng Wanruo sneered, leaning against the doorframe, "but now, there’s no guarantee."

With a snort, Elder Zheng dismissively waved at Zheng Wanruo, "Away with you, go sleep!"

"I’m telling you, hurry up and find someone to marry! You’re already an old maid living in your father’s house, what does it look like!"

"What does it look like?" Zheng Wanruo shrugged innocently, "I think it’s just fine, quite comfortable."

"Oh please," Elder Zheng rolled his eyes, "you’re not even as good as Little Nine. Even though he’s younger, he’s already in a relationship and glued to it every day. And look, he has girls who like him and little fanboys as fans, don’t you feel embarrassed?"

Zheng Wanruo blinked, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? I’m taking the low-profile route, and anyway, Little Nine and I aren’t on the same level in terms of looks, just look at you and his grandpa."

My dad? Elder Zheng pointed at himself in surprise.

His grandpa? Elder Zheng nodded in realization, oh, she was talking about Xia Jingshen, that old coot.

Suddenly realizing, Elder Zheng slammed the sofa, "You ungrateful child, what? I’m not as handsome as Xia Jingshen, that old coot?! Just wait until he comes back, you’ll see, roughing it outside, I guarantee he’s not as good looking as I am now! Your dad has style, understand!"

Zheng Wanruo: "...Oh."

Elder Zheng: ...

Seeing that Zheng Wanruo turned right around and shut the door to go to sleep without any response, Elder Zheng was fuming, really, he’s already an old man and still gets so worked up, is it because he doesn’t have a heart condition!

Thinking about it, he mimicked Bi Xia and rolled his eyes, finally understanding why Little Nine liked rolling his eyes sometimes, turns out it’s a great way to express speechlessness! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But thinking about the issue concerning Nine Pavilion discussed with Bi Xia earlier, recalling Bi Xia’s firm stance, Elder Zheng actually understood.

Nine Pavilion, isn’t it just another Zheng Silk?

He sighed lightly, forget it, by that time I’ll just help Little Nine take care of it more...

At this moment, the phone rang. Elder Zheng didn’t check the caller ID, thinking it was Bi Xia calling back, so he answered it directly, "Little Nine, what’s up?"

"..." There was silence on the other end, then after a while, a low, aged voice slowly spoke, "Little Nine... is she the daughter of Ashi you told me about before?"

Elder Zheng sat there stunned, suddenly widening his eyes, "You old fool! If you don’t contact me soon, I’ll really start preparing for your funeral with your daughter and grandchildren!"

Inspired by a secret passage suggested by Dream Drunk, Bi Xia started designing the underground passage for the Nine Pavilion Club the next day.

Now, although not completely finished, it’s already halfway there.

Sitting in the office, Bi Xia placed a mask on the table, looking at Meng Chi who walked in, "How is it?"

"It’s already sent to Dream Drunk, Ye Xiao is following up over there," Meng Chi’s face remained ice-cold, "Those two brothers have already called the doctor. Once the injuries are assessed, they’ll be sent to the hospital."

Bi Xia nodded, calmly looking straight ahead, "It seems Yan City over there is even bolder than I thought."
