Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”In this matter, I apologize, but I can’t be of any help.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of defeat appeared on Jiang Heng’s face. Unwilling to give up, he asked again, ”Then how did you originally get in touch with her, Grandpa?”

”She came to me on her own. She said she was a fan of my wife and greatly admired her character. She couldn’t bear to see my wife live in regret for the rest of her life, so she decided to treat Xiahou Huai Gui.”

Given this, Jiang Heng realized that there was essentially no way to contact Medicine Farmer Star.

”However, I heard that the Medicine Farmer Star is a seller at the Lanzhong Auction House. If you truly wish to contact her, you can try reaching out through that platform.”

”As for whether you can persuade her to come, that will depend on your sincerity.” Xiahou Xiong put down his teacup, stood up slowly, and said, ”Alright, I need to go check on Huai Gui. I hope you achieve your desire.”

Jiang Heng hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

After Jiang Heng left, Qingsong returned to the house.

He accompanied Xiahou Xiong to see Xiahou Huai Gui and couldn’t help but ask, ”Great-grandfather, I’ve heard that Jiang Heng, to save his first love, used Miss Xu as a blood bank. To put it harshly, if his first love died of illness, she deserved it! So why did you give him the contact information of Medicine Farmer Star?”

”If only you had half the wits of your grandfather Zhushan, you’d understand why I did so.”

Xiahou Xiong had his hands clasped behind his back and, like a kind elder, taught Qingsong the ways of the world.

”Jiang Heng must have already investigated the connection between Medicine Farmer Star and the Lanzhong Auction House. If I concealed this point, he would get suspicious.”

”Medicine Farmer Star harbors a deep love for the country and people. She is compassionate but not a pushover. Jiang Heng’s despicable acts won’t stay hidden. Tell me, even if I told Jiang Heng the news, could he persuade Medicine Farmer Star to help him?”

”He who repeatedly commits unrighteous acts will bring about his own downfall.”

Upon hearing this, Qingsong showed a look of realization. ”So that’s how it is.”

Xiahou Xiong shook his head, sighing, ”Jiang Mantian is a decent young man, but his son truly disgraces him.”

Qingsong remarked, ”Jiang Heng is like a crooked tree that can’t be straightened out.” Why not learn from Xiahou Jin? Though not accomplished, at least he hasn’t strayed off the path.

Recalling something, Qingsong told Xiahou Xiong, ”I heard from Grandfather that Great Uncle invited Miss Xu to listen to his new composition. It seems Great Uncle really likes Miss Xu.”

Both Qingsong and Zhushan assumed Xiahou Huai Gui fancied Xu Xingguang.

However, Xiahou Xiong smiled enigmatically and said, ”Next time you see this Miss Xu, remember to be polite.”

Xiahou Xiong was a very clever man. After Medicine Farmer Star left that day, he thought about it carefully and deduced Medicine Farmer Star’s true identity.

Aside from Mo Yinshu’s daughter, there was likely no one else in the world who would wholeheartedly be so kind to Zhang Zhiyi.

Qingsong misunderstood Xiahou Xiong’s meaning, widened his eyes, and exclaimed, ”Could she become Great Uncle’s future wife?”

Xiahou Xiong raised an eyebrow and muttered, ”I’d like that.”

It’s just that he feared his younger son didn’t have that capability.

Tsk.

Xiahou Xiong suddenly felt a tinge of anticipation. He couldn’t wait to see the reaction of the Jiang family boy when Medicine Farmer Star’s identity was revealed.

If that boy realized that the Medicine Farmer Star he had been striving to meet was the same ex he had used as a living blood bank for three years, how shocked would he be?

It would certainly be interesting.

Life was becoming more and more promising.
