Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Mrs. Huo truly fainted from anger, and the urn in her hand was caught by Zheng Lie. ”I’ll take the madam to rest first.” Zheng Lie handed the urn to a nearby maid, then carried Mrs. Huo upstairs to rest.

The maid followed closely, holding the urn.

Huo Wen’an glanced at the urn in the maid’s hand and a smile appeared on his face. Was this the thoughtful ’useful’ gift Xingguang had prepared for his family?

As expected of you, Xu Xingguang.

After Mrs. Huo left, the person with the most unpleasant expression in the room was Huo Yunsheng.

Although he did not do those outrageous things to Huo Wen’an like Mrs. Huo, he was the true culprit behind the abuse Huo Wen’an suffered from Huo Qinyou.

If he hadn’t abandoned Huo Qinyou after starting with her, Huo Wen’an wouldn’t have suffered this torment.

Seeing Xu Xingguang looking over, Huo Yunsheng’s lips moved, feeling an impulse to turn and flee from the mansion. But Song Chi appeared behind Huo Yunsheng like a ghost, blocking his escape.

Seeing this, Huo Yunsheng instinctively gripped the wheelchair’s handle tightly, glaring at Xu Xingguang with hostility, warning her, ”Xu Xingguang, this is Divine Concealment Island, I am your future father-in-law after all, don’t be too lawless.”

If Xu Xingguang dared to give Mrs. Huo an urn, she naturally wouldn’t spare him.

Huo Yunsheng felt extremely uneasy.

”Father-in-law?” Xu Xingguang sneered and said, ”Mister, then you probably don’t understand me.” Xu Xingguang moved beside Huo Wen’an, gently leaning against his wheelchair, and she said, ”I wouldn’t show mercy even to my own father, do you think I would be exceptionally kind to you, this father-in-law?”

Her father is still laboring on the island now, yet Huo Yunsheng wants to use the title of ’father’ to pressure her.

Huo Yunsheng became increasingly uneasy, and he couldn’t help but question Xu Xingguang, ”What on earth do you want to do?”

Xu Xingguang smiled slightly and asked Huo Yunsheng, ”Mister, is that new canary you’ve recently raised still obedient?”

With these words, both Huo Canghai and Huo Wen’an were a bit taken aback.

What canary?

Huo Canghai frowned and asked Huo Yunsheng, ”Huo Yunsheng, have you been seeing women outside again?” Back then, Mrs. Huo accidentally saw Huo Yunsheng dancing suggestively with a young girl from Siwei Town and ran back to her parents’ home in anger, wanting a divorce.

Huo Yunsheng knelt in front of the Xie Family’s house for three hours to get a chance to meet Mrs. Huo.

He once swore in front of the two elders of the Xie Family, wrote a guarantee letter, and promised never to flirt outside again. If he dared break his oath, Mrs. Huo could deal with him as she pleased.

Under the Xie Family elders’ pressure, Huo Yunsheng had been relatively well-behaved over the years, rarely leaving Divine Concealment Island. Who would have thought, his sneaky heart remained, secretly raising a canary outside.

Even Huo Wen’an and Huo Canghai were unaware of this, nor did they know how Xu Xingguang found out.

Huo Wen’an gave Huo Yunsheng a meaningful look, then raised his head and said to Xu Xingguang, ”He hasn’t left Divine Concealment Island all these years, who is that canary?” Could it be a daughter of a servant on the island?

Huo Canghai was also very curious about the woman’s identity.

Xu Xingguang chuckled, saying playfully, ”Mister indeed hasn’t left Divine Concealment Island, but a canary can fly to Divine Concealment Island by itself.”

”Shut up!” Huo Yunsheng looked at Xu Xingguang with venomous eyes, truly wanting to rush up and sew her mouth shut so she’d never be able to say another word.

Seeing Xu Xingguang’s response and Huo Yunsheng’s strong reaction, Huo Wen’an had a faint suspicion in his mind.

But that suspicion seemed absurd to him.

Huo Canghai’s expression also darkened.

Xu Xingguang said with a smile, ”Mrs. Huo adored her eldest son, and the marital candidates she chose for Brother A Zui were all beautiful and pure ladies.”

Xu Xingguang cast a mocking smile at Huo Yunsheng and asked him, ”Mister, the taste of young girls is quite addictive, isn’t it?”

Huo Yunsheng’s face suddenly turned pale.

”You scoundrel!” Huo Canghai suddenly raised the nearby cane, striking Huo Yunsheng hard on the shoulder, ”Kneel down!”

Frightened, Huo Yunsheng immediately fell to his knees.

”Father!” Huo Yunsheng pointed at Xu Xingguang, striving to stay calm, ”Xu Xingguang is sowing discord; she’s only been on the island for a few days, what does she know? She’s deliberately framing me!”

Huo Yunsheng would never admit this matter even if it killed him.

Those young women were chosen by Mrs. Huo for Huo Wen’an as marital candidates.
