Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”There’s really nothing wrong with not loving someone. She never wronged me, yet I targeted her at every turn, slandering her. I always compared her to You Mingyue, thinking Ming Yue was the moon in the sky, while Xu Xingguang was the mud on the ground.”

”It wasn’t until the day of the wedding when she exposed the disgraceful affair between Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu that I realized how difficult it was for her.”

”In fact, Xu Xingguang had hinted to me long ago that I’d regret falling in love with You Mingyue. You see, the slap in the face came just this fast.”

Chu Zimu pressed his sore and aching chest and said with a choked voice, ”I loved her so much, wanting to give her everything beautiful, everything she liked. But from start to finish, she hid things from me, deceived me, and heartlessly used me.”

Chu Zimu raked a hand through his hair, smiling bitterly, ”This is karma, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu also felt indescribably pained.

She stared silently at Chu Zimu for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, ”You focus on stabilizing the company, and I’ll help you clear the trash around you. To deal with women, you need a woman’s touch!”

After speaking, Mrs. Chu turned and went back to her room to gather her energy for what she had to do the next day.

*

The next morning, as You Jingqiu just opened the gate to the villa courtyard, she saw twelve fully armed bodyguards surrounding a black Rolls Royce.

The burliest bodyguard opened the rear door, and Mrs. Chu stepped out.

Today, she wore a luxuriously styled dark purple long dress, with sunglasses on her face, and a handbag worth more than two million on her wrist.

As she got out of the car, she lifted her chin slightly and glanced at You Jingqiu.

That glance was filled with the disdain and indifference of someone in a high position.

Seeing this, You Jingqiu immediately realized the visitor bore no goodwill.

”Dear... dear in-law!” You Jingqiu greeted stammeringly, subconsciously reaching out to support her.

Mrs. Chu arrogantly sidestepped, avoiding You Jingqiu’s fawning gesture.

Adjusting her sunglasses with authority, she said, ”Ms. You, your daughter is very brave, too good for my family to keep up with. Let’s not be in-laws anymore.”

”I believe my son Zimu mentioned divorcing your daughter yesterday. I’ve brought the divorce agreement today especially, hoping they can divorce as soon as possible.”

She wasn’t finished. Mrs. Chu continued, ”Yujiang City is neither too big nor too small. If we run into each other in the future, please refer to me as Mrs. Chu, Ms. You.”

After saying this, she looked down at You Jingqiu with superiority, remembering, ”In the past, when I met Ms. Mo, we’d call each other sister. As for you...”

Mrs. Chu’s smile was intriguing, curving her lips, ”Who do you think you are?”

You Jingqiu was so humiliated by Mrs. Chu that her face turned pale.

The spectacle was too grand, drawing the attention of several nearby neighbors. It was still early, and both working people and housewives happened to be home.

They all came to their gates, curiously watching the commotion at the Xu Family’s place.

Mrs. Chu’s speech was cold and ruthless, full of sarcasm, making the neighbors click their tongues.

Is this the aura of the first mistress of a wealthy family?

Truly intimidating.

Mrs. Chu strode past You Jingqiu and directly entered the Xu family home.

Hearing the commotion, You Mingyue and Xu Zeqing were already dressed and waiting in the living room on the first floor.

Seeing Mrs. Chu entering, You Mingyue hesitated, then still stood up, limping over to greet her ingratiatingly, ”Mom.”

”Don’t call me that. Miss You has tricked my son thoroughly. I dare not take on such a mother-in-law.” Mrs. Chu took out the divorce agreement she had prepared and thrust it into You Mingyue’s arms, coldly giving her instructions, ”Miss You, sign this divorce agreement.”

Without thinking, You Mingyue wanted to throw the agreement away, ”I can’t sign it! Even if I have to sign a divorce agreement, it must be Chu Zimu who comes personally!”

You Mingyue still held a sliver of hope for Chu Zimu.

She didn’t believe he would divorce her just like that.

Seeing that You Mingyue refused to cry until she saw the coffin, Mrs. Chu directly made a video call to Chu Zimu on her phone. ”Miss You doesn’t believe you want a divorce; Zimu, tell her yourself.”

Mrs. Chu turned the phone screen toward You Mingyue.

With tears in her eyes, You Mingyue looked pitifully at Chu Zimu on the other end of the video, choking on her words, ”Brother Chu, you’re only saying this because you’re angry, right?”

Looking at her tears, Chu Zimu suddenly thought of crocodile tears. ”You Mingyue, stop acting.”
