Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Upon hearing this, Jie Siyu immediately thought of the words Bai Xuan had said when they were in the car waiting for Jiang Heng after paying respects to her deceased husband.

How could Jie Siyu not understand the nature of her own daughter?

Compared to her as a mother, Bai Xuan is even more ruthless!

Jie Siyu used to feel proud of Bai Xuan’s intelligence, decisiveness, and ruthlessness, but when Bai Xuan used that ruthlessness against her, Jie Siyu finally understood how painful it was.

Jie Siyu sat on the ground, defeated and disoriented, and said, ”How could it be?”

Back then, after Bai Yusheng had just died, the driver named Jiao had kidnapped Bai Xuan, using Bai Xuan’s life as leverage to force Jie Siyu to hand over all of Bai Yusheng’s inheritance and elope with him.

Though Jie Siyu loved wealth, she voluntarily gave all her assets to that driver to save Bai Xuan’s life.

She viewed Bai Xi as a thorn in her side yet treated Bai Xuan as her cherished jewel.

Jie Siyu felt guilty toward Bai Yusheng and Bai Xi, but she was wholeheartedly devoted to Bai Xuan with no regrets.

But that daughter she raised with so much love actually said she would send her to a psychiatric hospital!

Neither Bai Xi’s bitter scheme nor Jiang Heng putting a gun to Jie Siyu’s temple had as much impact as Bai Xuan’s betrayal.

It seemed as if Jie Siyu aged several years all at once.

Jie Siyu refused to believe that her daughter would scheme against her, stubbornly insisting it was Jiang Heng sowing discord. ”Jiang Heng, it must be you lying to me! You’re causing discord! My Xuan’er would never treat me like this!”

Watching Jie Siyu’s reaction, Jiang Heng only felt bored.

He suddenly withdrew the gun and said to his bodyguards behind him, ”Take Ms. Jie back.” Glancing at the mentally disturbed Jie Siyu, he added, ”Take her to see the Young Madam in person.”

Jie Siyu’s eyes lit up, and she repeatedly said, ”That’s right, that’s right, take me to see Xuan’er. Once I see Xuan’er, I’ll know if it’s true or not.”

”I want to ask Xuan’er myself.”

Jie Siyu was persistent and wouldn’t give up easily.

She had to hear Bai Xuan’s explanation personally to believe it.

Cheng Xizhou frowned and whispered to Bai Xi, ”That crazy woman’s reaction is not quite right.” It was similar to the mental patients she had seen before.

Bai Xi found it amusing. ”She’s going crazy.”

Staring at Jie Siyu being taken away by Jiang Heng’s bodyguards, Bai Xi said thoughtfully, ”Once Bai Xuan admits her actions, Jie Siyu will completely lose her mind.”

Jie Siyu’s long-hidden secret was suddenly exposed by Bai Xi today, and her already fragile mental state was further agitated.

Jiang Heng had given her a blow, severely injuring her body.

Mentally and physically, Jie Siyu was heavily tormented. Unexpectedly discovering Bai Xuan’s betrayal became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Jie Siyu wanted to defend Bai Xuan, so she came to confront Bai Xi. In the end, she found out that the daughter she desperately defended intended to send her to a psychiatric hospital—her mental breakdown was inevitable.

Cheng Xizhou sneered, ”You’ve endured so much suffering and survived. This crazy woman doesn’t even qualify to carry your shoes!”

Bai Xi shook her head, ”She brought it upon herself.”

During their conversation, they noticed Jiang Heng put the gun away and handed it to his bodyguard behind him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng didn’t leave; he walked towards them.

Seeing him approach, Cheng Xizhou was on high alert.

She thought Jiang Heng was going to punish Bai Xi.

”Jiang Heng!” Cheng Xizhou shielded Bai Xi, trying to stay calm as she said to Jiang Heng, ”Everything Bai Xi said is true; she said everything she should and shouldn’t have. At this point, even if you kill Bai Xi, it’s pointless!”

Jiang Heng looked at Cheng Xizhou with an expressionless face, slightly parted his thin lips and said impatiently, ”Move aside.”

Cheng Xizhou was terrified inside, but her body remained firmly in front of Bai Xi, refusing to move. She said, ”You mustn’t come near Bai Xi!”

Jiang Heng repeated the same message: ”Move aside.”

Seeing Cheng Xizhou about to anger Jiang Heng, Bai Xi finally patted Cheng Xizhou’s arm from behind and said to her, ”Zhouzhou, step aside first. I’ll talk to him alone.”

Cheng Xizhou immediately shook her head, ”No way!” She dared not leave Bai Xi alone with Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng, the man, was ruthless; Cheng Xizhou feared Jiang Heng might dump Bai Xi’s body into the West Continent Sea.

Perhaps moved by Cheng Xizhou’s steadfast defense of Bai Xi, Jiang Heng took the initiative to explain to Cheng Xizhou: ”I won’t hurt her; I just want to talk to her alone.”
