Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Their aunt is a hopeless romantic, utterly unreliable.

Only this uncle hides very deeply, and no one can see through him. He inherited Xiahou Xiong’s intelligence and Luo Xiangyue’s thunderous tactics.

Expectedly, the uncle will become the next family head.

Xiahou Jin dares to go against his brother Xiahou Shang, but doesn’t dare to provoke Xiahou Huai Gui.

Xiahou Jin glanced at the man in a black suit smoking by the railing, always loving some drama. He asked the man, ”Jiang Heng, did you see your ex-girlfriend? Why don’t you go over and catch up?”

Upon hearing this, the man in black turned around, his sharp features appearing cold and ruthless.

It was Jiang Heng, the only son of West Continent City’s richest man.

Jiang Heng shook his head and said, ”Just an ex-girlfriend, no need to get involved.”

At this, the affluent youngsters beside Xiahou Jin couldn’t help but tease Jiang Heng: ”Yeah, Jiang Heng is getting married in a few days. If Bai Xuan knows you met up with Xu Xingguang privately, she’s bound to make a fuss.”

”Your Sister Lin is great in every way, except for being excessively jealous.”

Xiahou Jin recalled the things Jiang Heng did to Xu Xingguang to save Bai Xuan, furrowed his brows, and mocked, ”It’s better not to meet, I think she’d rather not see you.”

Jiang Heng didn’t get angry at Xiahou Jin.

He extinguished the scarlet cigarette butt, tossed it into a trash bin, adjusted his suit, and said to Xiahou Jin, ”Second Brother, take me to see the Old Master.”

Jiang Heng heard about Xiahou Huai Gui being saved by Medicine Farmer Star and came all the way from West Continent City to the Xiahou Family not just for the ancestor worship.

His real purpose was to obtain Medicine Farmer Star’s contact from the Old Master.

Bai Xuan’s illness fluctuates, always a ticking time bomb.

If Medicine Farmer Star could cure Xiahou Huai Gui’s peculiar illness, maybe he could cure Bai Xuan once and for all.

Xiahou Jin responded with a nod, stood up, ”Let’s go, but let me be clear upfront, I’m only responsible for taking you to see Grandpa. He’s not necessarily aware of Medicine Farmer Star’s contact, so prepare yourself mentally.”

”I understand.”

Watching Xiahou Jin and Jiang Heng leave together, the young men under the pavilion promptly relaxed the atmosphere.

”Ha, that Jiang Heng, devoted to that sick beauty, but with how he bullied Xu Xingguang, isn’t he afraid he’ll have a kid with no anus?”

Hearing this, someone said, ”Can Bai Xuan, in her sickly state, even have children?”

Everyone was puzzled, ”What do you say? Why is Jiang Heng so taken with Bai Xuan? In terms of looks and talent, how does Bai Xuan compare to Xu Xingguang?”

”Tsk, can’t quite understand it. Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder?”

Jiang Heng carried the gift to the Old Master’s small courtyard. Upon seeing Xiahou Xiong, he respectfully greeted him, ”Young man Jiang Heng, greeting grandpa. Knowing you like playing chess with Grandma Luo, I specially ordered a set of Jade Go. Hope you’ll like it.”

”Five or six years have passed since we last met, does Grandpa still remember this young man?”

The last time they met was at Xiahou Shang and Zhang Zhiyi’s wedding.

Years have passed; Jiang Heng was uncertain if Xiahou Xiong still remembered him.

Xiahou Xiong glanced at the young man serving tea, saying, ”Qingsong, take the Go set inside.”

At this, the young man reached out, took the Go set from Jiang Heng’s hands, and carried it inside.

Sitting in the Taishi Chair, Xiahou Xiong assessed Jiang Heng, his sharp gaze as keen as before.

”Haha.” Xiahou Xiong chuckled before speaking, accurately identifying Jiang Heng: ”Jiang Heng, son of Jiang Mantian from West Continent City. Grandpa might be old, but his mind isn’t dull. Of course, I remember you, young man.”

”Jiang Heng, have a seat.”

Only then did Jiang Heng sit in the solid wood chair to the lower left of Xiahou Xiong.

The named Qingsong returned and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Heng before heading to the front yard.

”Grandpa, friends are waiting for me in the front yard, so I’ll head back first.” Xiahou Jin said to Xiahou Xiong, then quickly departed.

After everyone left, Xiahou Xiong straightforwardly said, ”I know your purpose in coming to me. It’s for Medicine Farmer Star, right?”

Jiang Heng humbly agreed: ”Yes, Grandpa. Though my fiancée’s condition is temporarily under control, there’s still a risk of recurrence. Grandpa, would you be able to provide Medicine Farmer Star’s contact?

Xiahou Xiong held his teacup, contemplating, ”Medicine Farmer Star was willing to save my youngest son, and that’s my son’s fortune. Honestly, I don’t know where Medicine Farmer Star lives or his surname and given name.”
