Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Once she confirmed the text message was successfully sent, Jie Siyu exited the message box.

On the island, the film crew was working overtime to shoot a night scene.

Cheng Xizhou was soaking wet, immersed in the seawater, rehearsing a thrilling chase scene with the male lead. Bai Xi was waiting anxiously in the assistant area with a towel and hot ginger tea, watching Cheng Xizhou with concern.

Cheng Xizhou was about to start her period and hoped they could finish this scene in the water smoothly tonight.

Finally, Cheng Xizhou successfully completed the scene.

Bai Xi quickly ran over with the towel and ginger tea, as did Fang Jinsu’s assistant at the same time.

Bai Xi first wrapped Cheng Xizhou in a towel, then twisted open the thermos bottle containing ginger tea and handed it to her to drink.

As Cheng Xizhou drank, she walked toward the dressing room to change, with Bai Xi following closely behind, towel in hand, drying her hair.

As soon as they entered the dressing room, Cheng Xizhou said, ”Xixi, your phone is lighting up.”

Bai Xi said, ”No rush, let me dry your hair first.”

After drying Cheng Xizhou’s hair, Bai Xi handed her the prepared clothes, ”Go change your clothes, I’ll go check the phone.”

”Okay, go on.”

Bai Xi picked up the phone, unlocked it, and saw a message from ’Ms. Jie’, her smile instantly vanished without a trace.

”What’s wrong?” Cheng Xizhou noticed something was off about Bai Xi’s expression.

Bai Xi shook her head, stuffed the phone into her pocket, and said, ”My father’s death anniversary is coming up. Ms. Jie just texted me, forbidding me from going to pay my respects.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xizhou immediately became enraged, ”Damn it! That vile woman, is she out of her mind!”

Cheng Xizhou, with her fiery temper, couldn’t stand Jie Siyu’s unreasonable actions. She egged Bai Xi on, ”Xixi, the more she doesn’t let you go, the more you have to go! If you really go, what can she do to you, beat you up?”

”Besides, your father did die saving you, but it wasn’t like you killed him! He saved you because he loved you. He loved you so much, how could he bear to see you get bullied by that vile woman?”

”You should gather your courage and go pay your respects to your father with full dignity. If that vile woman dares to shame you in front of your father’s grave, you just curse her back! You have to let your father see that you’ve grown up now, strong and impenetrable. That way, he can rest in peace in the afterlife!”

Cheng Xizhou was quite persuasive.

After hearing her words, Bai Xi also felt it made a lot of sense. ”You’re right.”

”Yes, go. Besides, when she was even able to sell you off as a mistress to those fat and ugly men, your mother-daughter bond with her was already completely severed. A vile woman like her, you must not take seriously.”

”You need to stand tall!”

Bai Xi nodded vigorously and said, ”You don’t need to provoke me, I will go, because I have a clear conscience.”

”Yes, good.”

Cheng Xizhou finished changing clothes and went outside to discuss the earlier scene with the director. On the way, she met Xu Xingguang.

”Teacher Xu.” Cheng Xizhou stopped and called out to her.

Xu Xingguang glanced at her and smiled, ”Why are you so angry? Your eyes are bulging like saucers.”

Cheng Xizhou couldn’t hold back her anger and blurted out to Xu Xingguang about what Jie Siyu did to Bai Xi. After explaining, she gritted her teeth and said, ”If it were me, I’d teach her a lesson or two about how to behave!”

Xu Xingguang chuckled, ”You two have different temperaments, so naturally your ways of handling things are different too.”

She patted Cheng Xizhou on the shoulder and returned to her tent.

Sitting in the tent, Xu Xingguang opened her laptop, logged into the Medicine Farmer Star account, and sent Jiang Heng a message: [I give you one month to complete the assessment task. For the sake of your esteemed wife’s health, I will compose a prescription to stabilize her condition. In three days, you may retrieve the medicine at Dongyang Mausoleum. Be careful, you must not tell anyone about this matter, as I do not wish to reveal my whereabouts for now.]

Upon receiving this message, Jiang Heng was overjoyed.

[Okay!]
