Chapter 1355 - 1352: Bi Xia’s Background—Does She Need Unspoken Rules?

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1352: Bi Xia’s Background—Does She Need Unspoken Rules?

In front of the television, those originally enraged and feeling deceived looked at the elderly man with bloodshot eyes at the press conference, and the woman beside him already in tears, and fell silent.

They had always known the world of high society was dangerous, full of unforeseen incidents, but they never expected such a blatant incident to appear before them, with all the resulting harm befalling an infant who had just been born.

They didn’t imagine that the disappearance of the once high-spirited God Xia, whom they were immensely grateful for, was due to Xu Family’s treachery; Xu Family had mercilessly caused the death of God Xia’s wife. To protect his young daughter, God Xia had to hurriedly leave Beijing.

Who would have known that Xu Family’s persecution did not end.

They traced him to Qing City, and in pursuit of the Xia Family’s recipe, they attempted several times to strike ruthlessly. To ensure his daughter’s safety, Xia Jingshen had no choice but to leave Qing City himself. But who knew they did not spare his daughter, instead finding Bi Qingyun to harm her life.

The Bi Family favored sons over daughters and due to Xu Family’s manipulation, they disregarded Xia Shi. To provide a safe haven for raising the child, coupled with the fact that Xia Family’s recipe was passed to sons, not daughters, at the time where Xia Jingshen had only Xia Shi as a child, he changed it to be passed to daughters, not sons. To ensure Bi Xia could grow up healthy, and to ensure she wouldn’t fall prey to the Xu Family, Xia Shi covertly changed Bi Xia’s gender to male.

But who knew Bi Family wasn’t satisfied, instead blaming Xia Shi daily for not trusting them, for not entrusting them with the recipe. Finally unable to withstand the accusations, Xia Shi relented, but then Bi Qingyun took the recipe and ran off with Xu Liren, a cousin of Beijing Xu Family, which utterly devastated Xia Shi. By then, Bi Xia had grown perceptive, her gender couldn’t be altered, and Bi Xiaoyuan was already speaking, babbling children’s words.

Xia Jingshen did not reveal the more authentic reasons, only mentioning the general cause, yet it was enough to draw people back from their original hatred towards Bi Xia for deceiving them.

This world seems to have more sympathy for the weak, aversion towards the strong.

When the strong face major setbacks or negative news, many will stand up, claiming they trusted the wrong person, judged wrongly, and so on. However, when the weak suffer major setbacks or negative news, most people sigh over their unfortunate fate and sympathize.

Bi Xia, in their eyes, had always appeared before the public with a strong demeanor. The reason people admired Bi Xia varied from her looks, talents, and capabilities, but in people’s subconscious minds, they were accustomed to seeing her as a male, feeling that under such presumption, being remarkable was only natural, which is also why male actors tend to excel over female actors in the entertainment industry.

Because in many people’s view, male actors who become famous rely on either talent or appeal, but if a female actor rises to prominence, it is due to unspoken rules, and this social perspective seems oddly strange.

Xia Jingshen utilized such societal perceptions and people’s psychology.

Previously, Bi Xia was seen as male; everyone thought she had talent and looks, could be as willful as she wanted, even seemingly rightful when her identity with X Group and Nine Pavilion was exposed. Yet, some mocked Bi Xia for publicity stunts, mocking her as a scion of a mighty family, backed by power.

Today, when Xia Jingshen laid everything out, people thought, who would’ve imagined such a formidable child faced so much hardship? Imagine being made to dress in boys’ clothes despite clearly being a girl, silently suffering others’ bullying and unable to utter a word out of fear of revealing her real girl’s voice.

And now, everyone feels it’s only fitting that Bi Xia’s trials have finally turned into blessings, always tenaciously persistent, dispelling any rumors of unspoken rules. Come on, she was always disguised as a boy with such high intelligence, was it needed?

Moreover...Look at Xia Jingshen standing above and Ji Han beside Xia Shi, tsk, a culinary genius grandpa, a future family head of the Beijing Ji Family as a father, need unspoken rules?

At this moment, Xia Jingshen’s words sent everyone into a panic—

"Initially, I didn’t intend to bring up Little Nine, but since Little Nine felt someone cared for her, she requested I make a statement. As for your continued belief in her deliberate deceit, it doesn’t matter to us. Anyway, we’ve already decided to send Little Nine abroad to study, and concerning the entertainment industry, she won’t step into it until she personally wants to, and not before then."
