When Xia Shi told Bi Xia that she wanted to postpone the divorce case, even Bi Xia was taken aback.
But after hearing Xia Shi’s reason, Bi Xia truly felt a sense of admiration for her.
Xia Shi told Bi Xia that when Bi Jian Country came to the hospital, she recognized him as Bi Qingyun. Surprisingly, Xia Shi didn’t feel as distressed or painful as she had imagined. In the end, her heart was already dead.
However, Xia Shi did not want to let Bi Jian Country off so easily. Back when Bi Jian Country and his family had caused her such misery, trampled her self-esteem underfoot, and treated her children like they were nothing, maybe the old Xia Shi would have endured it all for the sake of her children and to get back the recipe. But now, the kids are grown, and Xia Shi has seen through it all. Now, she can’t bear it anymore!
It was true that during her hospitalization, the Bi family’s matriarch even came to the hospital to cause a scene, demanding she hand over Bi Qingzhi. Ridiculous! She was hospitalized because of Bi Qingzhi, whether Bi Qingzhi lived or died was none of her business!
Moreover, Xia Shi vaguely suspected that although Bi Qingzhi had nothing to do with her, he might have something to do with her daughter Bi Xia.
Therefore, she could not proceed with the divorce case now. If it would drag Bi Qingzhi’s family into it and involve her daughter, she would rather ignore the marriage!
Bi Xia did not know what Xia Shi was thinking. She only heard Xia Shi say she wanted to delay a bit longer, so Bi Qingyun’s crime could be punished for a longer time.
As clever as Bi Xia was, she wouldn’t believe this reason, but if Xia Shi wanted it this way, there was no harm in dragging it out a bit.
However... Bi Xia squinted her eyes. She could use this time to do something else instead.
Thinking about it, Bi Xia turned to Chu Kuang, "Kuangzi, do you think my mom’s cooking is delicious?"
"Huh?" Chu Kuang was stunned by Bi Xia’s sudden question, then shouted, "Of course, it’s delicious! And I always feel that Auntie hasn’t shown her true skills, but every time I say that, she just smiles and doesn’t respond. It’s frustrating."
Bi Xia raised an eyebrow. She didn’t expect Chu Kuang to notice. Is he a foodie?
"You’re right," Bi Xia nodded. "She hasn’t shown her true skills."
"I knew it!!!!" Chu Kuang jumped up excitedly, "Bro, be a pal and let me have a taste!"
Without any expression, Bi Xia glanced at Chu Kuang, "My mom is in the hospital now. How can she cook?"
Chu Kuang: ... Oh....
Seeing Chu Kuang’s dejected look, Bi Xia smirked. Meng Chi, who knew Bi Xia well, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth at the sight of Chu Kuang looking ’so sad that he couldn’t eat delicious food’. What an idiot!
"Do you want to eat something delicious?"
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Chu Kuang nodded repeatedly, "Of course! You don’t know, every time my dad takes me to the Xu Family Banquet, I have to go home and throw up. The last time I went with you, it was the same!"
Seeing Chu Kuang about to start a rant, Meng Chi covered Chu Kuang’s mouth with one slap, "Can you say a little less? Don’t want to eat anymore?"
Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "It’s okay. Do me a favor, and I’ll let you eat once."
"Oh?" Chu Kuang pulled Meng Chi’s hand down, his eyes wide open, staring at Bi Xia. "What favor? I’ll climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames to get it done!"
With a light laugh, "No need for a mountain of swords or a sea of flames. You just need to use your words and connections."
"Huh?" Chu Kuang and Meng Chi exchanged glances, "What do you mean?"
"I want my mom to open a restaurant," Bi Xia said plainly. "The place is already chosen and will be renovated soon. But you know, my mom only has a small restaurant now, serving the surrounding students. If we really open a restaurant, the students probably won’t come."
"So, I want you two to bring some people and start promoting my mom’s little restaurant. It’s best if both adults and kids come. If possible, bring people to eat there. I can guarantee that once they come, they’ll want to come back."
Meng Chi nodded, "No problem, but you know boss, the people I know are just from our class. I cut ties with the old gang after coming back."
"Knowing us is enough. Who needs those fake friends," Bi Xia rolled her eyes at Meng Chi, "Just work with me when the time comes."
Meng Chi smiled at Bi Xia. A cold-faced but warm-hearted boss...
Chu Kuang slammed the table, "Deal! I’ll get it done for you. On the day the restaurant opens, I guarantee it’ll be full!"
