Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Even though she knew that Xu Xingguang certainly had a deep scheming mind and wasn’t someone she could handle, she refused to admit it.

She could barely handle Mo Yinshu, let alone Mo Yinshu’s daughter, which made her feel that she had truly lived a pathetic life.

You Jingqiu said sourly, ”She sent your sister to prison, and you’re still praising her.”

”Anyway, keep yourself in check and stay away from Xu Xingguang. As for Xu Zeqing, don’t meddle with him either. Just wait and see, Xu Xingguang is going to deal with him soon.”

Upon hearing this, You Jingqiu felt a pang in her heart.

She was genuinely fond of Xu Zeqing and didn’t want to see him targeted by Xu Xingguang, so she perfunctorily replied to You Jiaoyang, ”I got it.”

Though she agreed with You Jiaoyang verbally, she was eager to go home early to remind Xu Zeqing to beware of that wicked woman, Xu Xingguang.

Upon returning home, You Jingqiu searched all around the house and found that Xu Zeqing was actually not at home.

”Where did he go?” He had just been discharged from the hospital, and the wound on his head hadn’t healed yet, how could he be out?

You Jingqiu hurriedly called Xu Zeqing.

After the phone rang for a while, Xu Zeqing finally answered and said, ”I’m inspecting the project progress here in South City. Why are you calling me?”

Discovering that Xu Zeqing was working while injured, You Jingqiu felt a bit sorry for him.

You Jingqiu told him, ”I went to visit Ming Yue, she’s adapting well inside, though she’s experiencing some insomnia.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zeqing responded coldly with an acknowledgement and said, ”There are people here, let’s talk later.”

”Okay.”

Just after hanging up, the home phone rang again.

You Jingqiu picked up the landline and heard a polite male voice asking, ”Is this Mr. Xu’s house? I saw your house selling information. Is there anyone home? We’d like to visit this afternoon.”

Upon hearing this, You Jingqiu was truly shocked.

Was Xu Zeqing going to sell the house?

Such a big decision, he hadn’t even discussed it with her!

They were husband and wife!

”Sorry, no one will be home this afternoon, I’ll call you back in the evening to schedule another time.”

”Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, You Jingqiu went to the kitchen wanting to brew a cup of coffee. Because she was anxious, she accidentally knocked over the coffee grinder, spilling coffee powder everywhere.

You Jingqiu took a broom to clean up, but the more she swept the coffee powder, the messier it became.

Suddenly, she threw down the broom, crouched on the floor, and hugged her knees sobbing.

She felt extremely aggrieved, with the humiliating words Xu Zeqing had blasted at her that day repeatedly echoing in her mind. [Do you think by selling your body, you can raise those two kids well?]

This sentence’s harm, no matter who uttered it, paled in comparison to what Xu Zeqing inflicted upon her.

He was the only man she had ever loved in her life, for him she bore children, willingly lived as his underground lover her whole life!

Others didn’t understand her struggles; how could Xu Zeqing not know?

Which beautiful girl would willingly become an escort if not forced?

You Jingqiu was born in the countryside, her mother was once the most beautiful woman in the village, married to the son of the town mayor. Later on, her husband went abroad for business, failed to earn money, and got addicted to gambling and drugs.

And naturally, he also indulged in debauchery.

Later, You Jingqiu’s father was arrested for soliciting, during the drug test at the police station, he was found to have used drugs.

Only until the police station’s call reached home did You Jingqiu’s pitiful mother find out what her husband had been up to outside.

After You Jingqiu’s father went to prison, her grandfather was dismissed from his post due to his son’s influence, her mother divorced her father.

After the divorce, her mother took her into the city to work alone.

You Jingqiu’s mother found a job as a cook at the construction site, and soon after, she married a widowed contractor from the site.

You Jingqiu lived with her mother and stepfather for several years.

When noticing You Jingqiu becoming more and more beautiful, her stepfather began to have wicked thoughts toward her.

That beast actually presented You Jingqiu as a gift to a CEO of a real estate company.

You Jingqiu lived with him for two years, thinking she might have to spend her life by the CEO’s side. Yet, the CEO was killed by an enemy who stabbed him in the throat, dying on the bed. You Jingqiu luckily escaped by going to the bathroom.

After that, You Jingqiu was reduced to being a part of the world of debauchery, embarking on a path of no return.

Others didn’t know these secrets, but Xu Zeqing was aware.

Yet, he used her unbearable past to humiliate her!

After wiping away her tears, You Jingqiu dumped the trash into the garbage bin. Standing in this overly quiet house, looking at the familiar sights around her, she felt a certain eerie atmosphere.
