Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Chapter 66

Xu Xingguang was here waiting for Zhang Zhiyi.

Zhang Zhiyi is a translator. She received a call to urgently translate a document, which her superior would address at an international meeting.

When Zhang Zhiyi needs quiet for work, Xu Xingguang gets out of the car, leaving Zhang Zhiyi to work inside.

Upon hearing someone calling her, Xu Xingguang turns around.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled like a river of stars, and her curved willow leaf eyebrows made her look graceful and captivating. Even the mountain breeze couldn’t compare to her enchanting presence.

For a moment, everyone was captivated.

Even Chu Zimu was impressed seeing Xu Xingguang dressed this way.

Xu Xingguang did not intend to approach You Mingyue for a conversation, she simply nodded towards Mrs. Chu, whom she had met a few times before, and gently addressed her: ”Aunt Chu.”

Mrs. Chu hadn’t seen Xu Xingguang for many years.

The Xu Xingguang she remembered was a youthful girl always wearing a high ponytail, looking fresh and bright.

Seeing her now, Mrs. Chu suddenly understood why her son had been so enamored by her at the time.

Because, she didn’t need any expensive jewelry to be captivating.

As a fellow woman, Mrs. Chu admitted that even if time went back thirty years, she couldn’t surpass Xu Xingguang at the same age.

She was like her name, wherever she was, was a gathering of starlight.

Mrs. Chu regained her composure, nodded at Xu Xingguang with a complex expression, and politely praised her: ”Long time no see, Xingguang, you are even prettier than in high school.”

Xu Xingguang asked her: ”It’s been a while since I saw Ziling, how is she doing?”

”She’s still studying at the Royal Design College and will return to work at the family business soon.” Mrs. Chu asked Xu Xingguang politely: ”How about you?”

Xu Xingguang replied calmly, ”I’m still studying, in my freshman year.”

Mrs. Chu was a bit surprised to learn that Xu Xingguang had returned to school. She had thought Xu Zeqing would quickly arrange a marriage for Xu Xingguang to resolve Xu Family’s urgent issues.

Mrs. Chu said with relief, ”You’re still young, even if an injury delayed you for a few years, you can return to school to continue studying. Doing the right things at the right age is the correct choice. The only thing in this world that won’t abandon you is the knowledge you’ve learned.”

”Reading more is never wrong.”

To be honest, if Mrs. Chu had to choose between You Mingyue and Xu Xingguang, she preferred Xu Xingguang.

She deliberately belittled Xu Xingguang in front of others because she was upset, feeling that Xu Xingguang had wasted her son’s sincere feelings.

She knew well that Xu Xingguang chose Jiang Heng not out of vanity, but simply because she didn’t like her son.

But exactly because of this, she was more exasperated!

Listening to the conversation between Xu Xingguang and Mrs. Chu, You Mingyue felt very uncomfortable.

The first time she visited the Chu family, Mrs. Chu’s strong presence made her tense and careful with every word, for fear of offending Mrs. Chu.

But Xu Xingguang could conversely communicate with Mrs. Chu openly and comfortably.

You Mingyue had to admit there was a gap between her social skills and Xu Xingguang’s.

However, considering that Xu Xingguang entered the elite circle and became the brightest gem of Yujiang City thanks to Jiang Heng, she felt balanced.

When You Mingyue noticed Chu Zimu’s eyes frequently glancing at Xu Xingguang, an inexplicable anger rose within her.

Such a disgrace, infatuated with someone who played him as a backup and was discarded by Jiang Heng!

But she had to suppress this anger.

As Mrs. Chu turned away to talk to other ladies, You Mingyue took a deep breath, picked up her purse, and walked towards Xu Xingguang, smiling: ”Xingguang, when I saw you at Friendship Building a few days ago, why didn’t you mention you’d be coming to Xiahou’s house?”

Xu Xingguang glanced indifferently at You Mingyue.

Her smile was elegant, but her words sharp: ”Even if your mother were here, she wouldn’t have the right to demand that I report everything to her. Does our country have a law that requires the children of the first wife to report everything to the daughter of the stepmother?”
