Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

This buzz is even hotter than when You Mingyue’s album sold out.

As soon as You Mingyue saw the trending topic, her body trembled uncontrollably. She opened the trending page, scrolled down, and saw the segment where Xu Xingguang exposed the scandal between Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu during a live broadcast.

In the live broadcast, Xu Xingguang, holding a fishing rod, looked at the stream with a mocking expression.

Her cold voice clearly reached You Mingyue’s ears: ”Why sever the father-daughter relationship with Xu Zeqing? Probably because he’s despicable, shameless, and disgraceful.”

”You ask me just how despicable, shameless, and disgraceful he is?”

Xu Xingguang let out a cold laugh and slowly revealed the truth: ”Let me tell you a little story. About 26 years ago, while still in college, Xu Zeqing met a woman named Xiang Jing, a companion. They were deeply in love, but Xu Zeqing’s mother found out.”

”Xu Zeqing’s mother was a teacher. She couldn’t accept that her daughter’s-in-law was once a companion, so she forced Xu Zeqing to break up with Xiang Jing. Xu Zeqing didn’t dare truly disobey his parents, so he agreed to the breakup and, under his mother’s introduction, married her student. That student turned out to be the famous female writer Mo Yinshu.”

”Xu Zeqing, after marrying Mo Yinshu, refused to stay committed, insisting on having his cake and eating it too, even going so far as to indulge with his ex on his wedding day.”

”After the wedding, Xu Zeqing cut off contact with Xiang Jing. However, a few years later, Xiang Jing reappeared in Xu Zeqing’s life, this time with a new surname and name, taking her mother’s surname You, and called You Jingqiu. More astonishingly, she secretly had a pair of twins with Xu Zeqing. These twins are none other than you, our Yuyi International’s Young Madam You Mingyue, and You Jiaoyang, who works in the Alliance Government.”

”Upon this unexpected reunion and having two cute children as a bond, their feelings rekindled, leading to an underground affair behind Mo Yinshu’s back. What’s more, Xu Zeqing secretly embezzled marital assets to open a beauty salon for You Jingqiu.”

”Years later, Mo Yinshu died unexpectedly, and her daughter became a vegetative state due to an accident. With the original wife gone, the position of Mrs. Xu was finally vacant, and You Jingqiu hurriedly moved into the Xu Family, becoming the legitimate Mrs. Xu.”

All of this was uncovered bit by bit by Zhang Zhiyi, who was hired by Xu Xingguang to find a seasoned detective.

No wonder neither Xu Qingnian nor his old classmates knew about the past between You Jingqiu and Xu Zeqing; turns out You Jingqiu had long changed her name and surname to avoid suspicion.

During her time with Xu Zeqing, she also rarely met his friends.

Meeting again after years, everyone had changed drastically; who would recognize who?

They only remembered that Xu Zeqing once was with a companion. As for who she was, what her name was, who cared?

To even know her surname was Xiang was already quite something.

”The outside world all says that You Jingqiu had it tough, raising two children on her own and bringing them up to be outstanding. The son, smoothly working in the Alliance Government, and the daughter, a piano prodigy, even married into the top prestigious family.”

”Everyone praises You Jingqiu as a modern woman of self-strength and perseverance, but no one knows that her good reputation was built on the ruins of Mo Yinshu’s marriage and happiness!”

After telling this story, Xu Xingguang stared expressionlessly at the camera.

She suddenly burst into a bright smile, congratulating, ”Mr. Xu, congratulations, a darling son and daughter, blessed in love. Ms. You, best wishes to you, too, for patiently enduring as a mistress for over twenty years and finally earning a legal status. Lastly, congratulations to Mr. Chu Zimu for marrying such a fair and virtuous wife.”

The brighter her smile, the more viciously sarcastic her congratulations sounded.

After watching the video, You Mingyue’s head was suddenly filled with sharp, piercing buzzing.

Her fingers weakened, and the phone slipped, hitting her on the bare instep of her high-heeled shoe.

Pain brought her back to her senses. She stiffly lifted her head, gazing at the red wedding symbol on the window, feeling a sudden wave of panic.

She lifted her skirt and ran out of the bedroom, finding Chu Zimu at the end of the corridor in the study, meeting with the directors of Yuyi International.

Seeing You Mingyue stumble in, Chu Zimu said gravely to the directors, ”Let’s pause the meeting for a moment.” He quickly turned off his camera.

You Mingyue rushed to his office chair, gripping Chu Zimu’s arm desperately explaining, ”Brother Chu, I didn’t know about these things, I really didn’t know, please believe me!”
