Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

This house was purchased by Mo Yinshu and Xu Zeqing from the previous owner after their marriage, and was redecorated into Mo Yinshu’s favorite vintage American style.

When You Jingqiu moved into the Xu Family, to assert her identity as the mistress of the house, she took down all of Mo Yinshu’s photos and threw them away.

But while the photos could be discarded, the decorations and furniture in the house were handpicked and arranged by Mo Yinshu herself.

Standing in the house where Mo Yinshu had lived for twenty years, You Jingqiu surprisingly felt a bit anxious and fearful.

She wasn’t afraid before.

But ever since Mrs. Chu mentioned that Mo Yinshu’s death might be connected to Xu Zeqing, You Jingqiu began to feel scared.

She always felt that the ghost of Mo Yinshu might still be lingering in this house, possibly seeking revenge.

You Jingqiu didn’t dare to be alone in the house; she quickly went upstairs, grabbed a few bags from her room, and left the Xu Family.

You Jingqiu was completely out of money. She planned to sell the bags to see if she could gather some money to send to You Jiaoyang.

She was unsure of where that child got the five million, making You Jingqiu uneasy.

She wanted to sell the bags to gather some money to send to You Jiaoyang, who needed it for his job as there were many expenses.

You Jingqiu didn’t dare to sell the bags Mo Yinshu had used during her lifetime, feeling a bit superstitious. The bags she brought this time were all from her own collection.

Among them were two bags, top-tier luxury crocodile bags, which had great collectible value in the second-hand market.

The store owner, seeing the crocodile bags, became very enthusiastic.

After a round of verification, confirming that the bags You Jingqiu brought were all authentic, with perfect condition, the owner offered her a decent price.

Six bags were sold for a total of three hundred thousand.

When she ran the beauty salon, she earned more than this amount monthly. After many years, You Jingqiu once again experienced the difficulty of having no money.

You Jingqiu went to a men’s store, wanting to buy something useful for You Jiaoyang.

She walked into a luxury store, picked two pairs of simple, low-key leather shoes for You Jiaoyang. She also bought him two pairs of cufflinks, two ties, and an ink-colored shirt.

Stepping out of the store with her purchases, You Jingqiu opened WeChat to message You Jiaoyang, asking if he was in the dormitory.

You Jiaoyang replied: [Not in the dormitory, I am out running errands. What’s up?]

You Jingqiu said: [I bought some things for you. I’m planning to deliver them. If you’re not there, I won’t come. You can come home to pick them up on your day off.]

You Jiaoyang asked: [Where did you get the money from?]

You Jingqiu didn’t hide it from him and said directly: [I sold the bags. I’m planning to save the remaining money for you and your sister.]

You Jingqiu was fair and just towards both of her children.

If she had a dollar, she would change it into fifty cents each for her son and daughter.

Knowing she sold the bags, You Jiaoyang didn’t know what to think. After a while, he finally replied to You Jingqiu: [Mom, when I’m earning money, I’ll buy you better ones.]

Seeing the message from You Jiaoyang, You Jingqiu felt a bit comforted.

She suddenly realized that as long as her son and daughter were alive, healthy, and without disaster, it was the happiest thing. [Alright, I’ll be waiting.]

Putting away her phone, You Jingqiu was about to return when she glanced up and saw a man at the entrance of a luxury leather goods store across the street, whose back looked very familiar. He was on the phone.

Xu Zeqing?

You Jingqiu suspected she had seen wrong.

Looking closely, it was indeed Xu Zeqing!

You Jingqiu clearly remembered that this morning, when she set out to visit You Mingyue in prison, Xu Zeqing had also gotten ready, saying he was going out to do some errands.

He was wearing a dark blue pinstripe suit.

Strange, didn’t Xu Zeqing say he was inspecting project progress in South City? How could he be here?

From South City to this commercial area, even driving at the fastest speed on the highway, would take at least an hour and a half.

You Jingqiu took out her phone and checked the time of her last call with Xu Zeqing, realizing it had been one hour and forty minutes since they last spoke.

If he left for the city right after hanging up, the timing would make sense.

But what is he doing alone at the mall?

You Jingqiu, having spent many years on the outskirts, and later running a beauty salon dealing long-term with women experienced in relationships, was very familiar with affairs and infidelity.
