"Xiaxia?"
When Xia Shi returned, she was originally worried about how to get Bi Wu and his gang to leave the restaurant. But as soon as she reached the door, she found the restaurant bustling with life as usual. There was not a single empty table, and Bi Wu and his ragtag group were nowhere to be seen.
Looking at Bi Xia greeting the customers along with a few boys who often ate at the restaurant, Xia Shi noticed the bruised corner of Bi Xia's lip. No matter how slow she was, Xia Shi could guess what had happened. She had tried to prevent this, but in the end, it had happened anyway.
At that moment, Xia Shi felt a mix of emotions. She was proud of her child's bravery, yet sad that she still needed her child to protect her.
"Mom, you're back."
Bi Xia's voice brought Xia Shi back to reality. Meng Chi, Chu Kuang, and the others who were helping out also stopped what they were doing and greeted her warmly, "Hi Auntie ~"
