Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Being lectured by Bai Xi, Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Bai Xi turning icy and merciless.

Bai Xuan suddenly spoke softly to Bai Xi, ”Bai Xi, stop sowing discord, what do you gain from doing this?”

As soon as Bai Xuan spoke, Jiang Heng’s attitude changed drastically.

He no longer paid attention to Bai Xi, directly turning around and walking towards Bai Xuan. ”Xuan’er, don’t worry about these things, rest assured, she is she, and you are you, I won’t blame you for what she does.”

No one knew whether Jiang Heng believed Jie Siyu’s words.

But Jiang Heng promptly showed his care and affection for Bai Xuan.

Bai Xi also walked towards the tomb.

Jie Siyu grabbed her and cursed at her in a low voice, ”How dare you show your face in front of your father! Take your flowers and get lost!”

After cursing, Jie Siyu grabbed the flowers in Bai Xi’s arms and ruthlessly threw them to the ground.

Bai Xi looked at the scattered chrysanthemums and yellow roses, a nameless fury burning in her heart.

She suddenly shoved Jie Siyu aside and sneered, ”I have no face to appear before his tombstone, but you, who slept with the driver behind his back while he was alive, have the face to appear here?”

This was a scene Bai Xi witnessed with her own eyes.

That night, she told Bai Yusheng about what she saw. Bai Yusheng was very disturbed, wanting to confront Jie Siyu, hence he decided to send Bai Xi and Bai Xuan back to their grandparents’ home in the countryside.

While resting at the highway service area, Bai Xuan and Bai Xi went to the bathroom together, she returned to the car first, only to be kidnapped by Rashomon.

That night, their father protected Bai Xi fiercely, dying over her with his body covered in blood. When Bai Xuan came out of the bathroom, she was so terrified by the scene that she ran back to hide in the bathroom.

She watched helplessly as those people dragged Bai Xi away from their father’s arms, pulling her far away.

Terrified, Bai Xuan had continuous high fevers, and upon recovering, she lost memory of the day’s events.

Bai Xi went missing thereafter.

Upon hearing such explosive content, not only was Jiang Heng stunned, but even Bai Xuan was taken aback.

Bai Xuan stared incredulously at Jie Siyu, asking her, ”Mom, is what Bai Xi said true?”

Jie Siyu did not expect Bai Xi to still remember these things, she glared viciously at Bai Xi, yelling, ”What nonsense are you spouting! Bai Xi, it’s one thing for you to be shameless, but you are fabricating lies to defame me! What’s your motive?”

Hearing this, Bai Xuan became uncertain again.

Could Bai Xi be spreading rumors to tarnish her mother’s image?

Bai Xi no longer responded to Jie Siyu, she picked up two intact roses and chrysanthemums, walked to the tombstone, and knelt down.

She placed the two flowers in front of the tombstone, then bowed her head three times to Bai Yusheng’s tombstone.

Jiang Heng frowned watching this scene, yet he did not drive Bai Xi away.

Until his gaze fell on Bai Xi’s hands placed on the ground, noticing a deep, hideous scar on her left wrist, his expression changed.

The scar did not look like a knife wound, more like...

Like a scar formed by repeated bites tearing the flesh and blood.

Bai Xuan noticed Jiang Heng’s abnormal state and followed his gaze.

Upon seeing the twisted, hideous knife scar on Bai Xi’s wrist, her expression also turned to surprise.

How could Bai Xi’s forearm have a scar too?

Glancing from the corner of her eye, Bai Xuan and Jiang Heng were sneaking glances at her left wrist, she lowered her eyes to gaze at her left wrist, seeing the hideous, ugly old scar.

She thought Bai Xuan and Jiang Heng found her scar too ugly, so she calmly pulled down her sleeve to cover it.

Then she stood up, turned around to leave.

”Wait.” Bai Xuan suddenly called Bai Xi.

Bai Xi stopped, turning to look at Bai Xuan.

”What’s the matter?” Bai Xi held no deep hatred towards this sister, but neither did she feel any closeness.

She was unsure whether Bai Xuan knew about the drugged milk, but the milk was indeed handed to her by Bai Xuan.

After that night, she disappeared from that house, and Bai Xuan never sought her out.

To this day, the outside world still does not know that the Jiang Family’s Young Madam has a sister. It shows that Bai Xuan has always cooperated with Jie Siyu in hiding her existence.

Perhaps Bai Xuan did not commit major crimes in the entire affair, but she was an accomplice.

Facing an accomplice, Bai Xi cannot bring herself to greet her with a smile.
