Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Xu Zeqing wanted to say ”scumbag,” but when he noticed the young man standing behind Xu Xingguang suddenly raise his head and stare directly at him, with narrow black eyes filled with murderous intent, he quickly changed his words to: ”Don’t associate with people like him.”

Xu Xingguang calmly said, ”He has a record, but that doesn’t mean he’s a complete jerk. I think Boss Huo is a good person.”

”Good?” Xu Zeqing found himself suddenly unfamiliar with how to write the word ’good’ for the first time.

Xu Xingguang suddenly said, ”Forgot to tell you, I’m currently dating him.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zeqing felt like he’d been struck by lightning.

”What did you say?”

Xu Zeqing was so provoked by Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an’s dating that he lost his sanity.

He couldn’t control his mouth, ”Xu Xingguang, of all the people to date, you choose to date such a bastard! This is simply self-degradation, it’s being cheap!”

”I demand that you break up with this societal scum immediately!” Xu Zeqing became increasingly angry, spewing more outrageous words: ”If you refuse to break up, we’ll sever our father-daughter relationship. From now on, don’t set foot in my house ever again!”

The domineering father, always liked to use such words to threaten his children, forcing them to comply and be obedient kids.

Huo Wen’an frowned, and instinctively stepped in front of Xu Xingguang in a protective stance, addressing Xu Zeqing gently but firmly: ”Mr. Xu, you can call me a bastard, a societal scum. But you shouldn’t humiliate your daughter like this!”

What kind of father uses humiliating words like ’being cheap’ to insult his daughter?

”This is my family matter, where do you get to meddle?” Xu Zeqing reached out to push Huo Wen’an. But the strange thing was, the slender young man appeared like an immovable stone statue.

Xu Zeqing struggled until his face turned red, but couldn’t make Huo Wen’an budge even an inch.

The commotion in the yard had already caught everyone’s attention inside the house.

You Mingyue and You Jingqiu rushed to the hall entrance to watch the spectacle, while You Jiaoyang stood behind the room window, watching the scene with a complicated expression.

You Jingqiu gloatingly said to You Mingyue, ”Your Uncle Xu is really angry this time. Xu Xingguang is truly something, choosing such a man. Before, you were worried she might want to marry Xiahou Xiaogong to get back at us, and look what’s happened?”

She shook her head in a way that was hard to describe, and You Jingqiu laughed sarcastically: ”Barely awake and already eager to find a man, young people these days, I really don’t know what to say.”

You Mingyue looked at the lively scene in the yard with some confusion in her heart.

Other than his flawless face, this Huo is truly riddled with flaws. How could Xu Xingguang fancy a man like him?

But soon, You Mingyue became happy.

Oh Xu Xingguang, you can fall so far as well. Ignoring all those promising young talents, you actually fancy a penniless guy with a record.

You Mingyue wished Xu Zeqing and Xu Xingguang would have a huge fallout, ideally making it known to everyone.

Unable to move Huo Wen’an, Xu Zeqing could only redirect his anger towards Xu Xingguang.

He bypassed Huo Wen’an’s obstruction, stared at Xu Xingguang with fury, and threatened her: ”Tell me, will you break up!”

Xu Xingguang shook her head casually, ”No.”

”Intransigent!” Xu Zeqing was so furious his organs were trembling.

He initially wanted to repair relations with Xu Xingguang and planned to find her a wealthy aristocrat to marry into a rich family.

This way, Xu Xingguang can live a life of luxury, and the Xu Family would gain another level of security.

Mutually beneficial, how perfect.

But after seeing Xu Xingguang’s shortsightedness and disobedience, Xu Zeqing was thoroughly disappointed.

”Won’t break up, right? Alright...” Xu Zeqing said coldly: ”You’re an adult now, adults should bear the consequences for their actions. From today onwards, Xu Xingguang, you are no longer my daughter, and don’t expect to spend another penny of the Xu Family! Whether you commit murder or arson outside, it has nothing to do with the Xu Family anymore!”

After his vicious words, Xu Zeqing waited to see Xu Xingguang’s regretful and frustrated expression.

Since childhood, Xu Xingguang led a carefree and affluent life, Xu Zeqing believed Xu Xingguang wouldn’t dare truly sever ties with the Xu Family.

Although Xu Zeqing’s company had been acquired, a camel that’s dying is still larger than a horse. Even if he has no money, he can provide Xu Xingguang a life without worries.

Not to mention, there’s Hong Ruhai working on Divine Concealment Island in the Xu Family. And Jiang Heng will soon return the management rights of Qinglang Daily Chemical Company to him, allowing him to leverage the West Continent City land to get rich.
