Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

But Chu Ziling had very sharp eyes and a clear heart. It was as if she had a book on identifying bitches installed within her, easily seeing through her motives.

One day, Chu Ziling had blocked You Mingyue in the toilet stall, with a face full of contempt, she said, ”I’ve noticed you for a long time, you linger like a ghost, secretly staring at our Xingguang every time during gym class.”

”Xingguang doesn’t know of your existence, those idiots don’t know your true face either, but I know what you’re thinking. You’re fake, you’re jealous, you can’t stand Xu Xingguang doing well. You dream of stepping on Xu Xingguang, but you don’t have what it takes, so you resort to some crooked ways, stealing everything around her like a thief.”

”So now, are you aiming at me, thinking you can pry me away from her side like you did with those idiots?”

Having her thoughts exposed by Chu Ziling, You Mingyue felt extremely embarrassed, wanting to cry but didn’t dare, feeling both wronged and resentful.

Chu Ziling, like a mean girl, arrogantly slapped You Mingyue’s face and said, ”Idiot, truly outstanding people don’t constantly think about how to drag those higher than themselves off their pedestal, but find ways to climb beside them and surpass them.”

”Do you know what your behavior is like?”

Chu Ziling lowered her head and said to You Mingyue, ”You’re like a rat hiding in the sewer, using your dark and ugly eyes to stare at everything beyond the iron bars.”

Recalling the past when Chu Ziling had blocked her in the toilet to warn her, You Mingyue felt a strong sense of unease.

Chu Ziling knew what kind of person she was, and upon returning, she would certainly become an obstacle to her marrying Chu Zimu and becoming the young mistress of the Chu Family.

She must resolve things with Mrs. Chu and gain her approval before Chu Ziling returns, and get engaged to Chu Zimu as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, You Mingyue no longer hesitated, picked up her phone and messaged the hacker ’D’: [D, send Xu Yue’s dirt to the director’s email at Bingfeng Entertainment.]

Bingfeng Entertainment and Zongheng Entertainment had been competing overtly and covertly for years, and once Bingfeng Entertainment got their hands on Xu Yue’s dirt, they would spare no effort to attack Xu Yue.

Once Xu Yue became the target of public criticism, the opportunity to release an album would naturally fall into her lap.

D replied to her: [Settle the remaining payment, and I’ll send it right away.]

You Mingyue rolled her eyes.

This ’D’, a hacker she met by chance, didn’t say much but was very skilled, seemed reliable.

But too money-minded.

You Mingyue had spent five hundred thousand yuan to hire him to investigate Xu Yue. She had already paid him a deposit of two hundred thousand, with a remaining balance of three hundred thousand.

You Mingyue transferred the remaining balance to the designated anonymous account, and soon received a screenshot of a successful email sent from the other party.

After viewing the screenshot, You Mingyue finally felt at ease.

Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang had just landed in Yujiang City, and upon returning to Cangshan Town, they went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Huo Wen’an accompanied Xu Xingguang to Yujiang City for a big task today, and Xu Xingguang decided to personally cook to reward her boyfriend.

Huo Wen’an held a bunch of celery in his left hand and a bunch of garlic sprouts in his right, he asked Xu Xingguang, ”Can we have garlic sprouts stir-fried with cured meat tonight? Doctor Ye sent me some cured meat, said it’s authentic smoked cured meat, I’m craving it.”

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang turned off her phone and looked up at him with a bright smile, she said, ”You decide tonight’s menu, I’ll be the one cooking.”

Huo Wen’an’s eyes lit up, he said, ”I want to eat that pork trotter you made last time.”

But Xu Xingguang replied, ”It’s too greasy, you can’t eat that now.”

”Okay then.” Huo Wen’an had consumed An Shen Wood Resin, and didn’t feel the pain when his condition flared, but that didn’t mean his body wasn’t suffering.

In fact, his bodily organs were still rapidly deteriorating.

His face was becoming increasingly pale, and his lips more crimson and alluring.

Back home, Xu Xingguang wasn’t in a rush to cook, she took a watering can to the courtyard wall, carefully watering the mint.

Huo Wen’an walked behind her, noticing that the mint had sprouted, and Xu Xingguang hadn’t been salting it anymore.

He stared at Xu Xingguang’s back, questions popping up in his mind, but he held them back.

”You’ll be in charge of looking after this from now on.” Xu Xingguang handed the watering can to Huo Wen’an, she said, ”Water once every other day, it should grow fully by next month.”

Huo Wen’an couldn’t help but ask, ”What if I accidentally kill it?”

Xu Xingguang gave him a meaningful look, she said, ”You know, this is the medicine for your treatment. If it dies, you might as well wait for your death. If you die, I’ll just find someone even more handsome.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Wen’an didn’t find it funny, instead, he felt very tense.

He subconsciously swallowed, lightly holding onto Xu Xingguang’s arm, and whispered, ”It really is you, isn’t it?”

The words seemed random, but Xu Xingguang understood his meaning.

Xu Xingguang lowered her eyes to look at the wooden bracelet on Huo Wen’an’s wrist, she said, ”The first time we met, I gave you a hint, you must have suspected me long ago.”

This was Xu Xingguang admitting that she was indeed Medicine Farmer Star.
