Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Xiahou Jin: [You Mingyue, you said your piano piece was composed three months ago. I’m curious, did my little uncle have the superpower of clairvoyance to secretly peek at your sheet music, or was there some mutual understanding between you and him?]

Xiahou Jin: [@You Mingyue, @Chu Zimu, come out and say something.]

The WeChat group was in an uproar.

But inside You Mingyue’s bedroom, the temperature was colder than an ice cellar.

You Mingyue curled up like a quail between the two pillows at the head of the bed, not daring to lift her head to look at Chu Zimu.

Chu Zimu suddenly raised his phone and angrily smashed it at the foot of You Mingyue’s bed. But even though his anger was raging, he couldn’t bring himself to truly harm You Mingyue.

”You said, even if you deceived the whole world, you wouldn’t deceive me.” The always vibrant and confident eldest son of the Chu family now showed a face of utter despair.

”You Mingyue, I treated you with sincerity, yet you treated me like a fool! Do you know, I used the reputation of the Chu family and Yuyi International to stand by you in this storm. But what did you do? You knew it was a cesspool, yet you dragged me into it!”

”I once thought that a woman like Xu Xingguang, who is money-grubbing, was the most disgusting woman in the world.”

”But you have set a new low in my understanding of trash. You Mingyue, you truly live up to being the offspring of Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu.”

Chu Zimu forcefully removed the ring from his ring finger. The ring was a custom design, perfectly fitting his finger bone, requiring a gentle removal.

But he just yanked the ring from his finger, tearing the skin on his knuckle.

Chu Zimu coldly threw the ring into You Mingyue’s lap.

In a panic, You Mingyue caught the ring and, with tears streaming down her face, looked at Chu Zimu and asked in disbelief, ”Are you divorcing me? Chu Zimu, you said you would protect me no matter what! We’ve only been married a few days, and now you want a divorce!”

”Chu Zimu, you heartless man!”

”Heartless?” Chu Zimu glanced at his bleeding finger, finding it amusing.

”You plotted against my true feelings first, so how dare you call me heartless? You Mingyue, I fulfilled all the responsibilities of a husband. Next, I’ll carry out my duties as the eldest son of the Chu family, as the Young Master of Yuyi International.”

”Prepare to sign the divorce papers.”

The illegitimate daughter truly carried genes that were disgusting.

Chu Zimu, in a furious rage, rushed downstairs and headed quickly out of the Xu Family’s main door.

Having eavesdropped on the entire incident, You Jingqiu and Xu Zeqing saw him coming downstairs and rushed towards him.

You Jingqiu grabbed Chu Zimu’s arm, crying and pleading, ”Chu Zimu! Ming Yue is already married to you, how can you divorce her!”

”She was set up by Xu Xingguang and that Xiahou whatever-his-name-is!” Even now, You Jingqiu didn’t realize how vile and despicable the nature of You Mingyue’s plagiarism was.

Xu Zeqing immediately said, ”Zimu, I admit that Ming Yue indeed made a mistake, but you are a married couple, and there’s genuine affection between you two. Her feelings for you are evident to the heavens and the earth, you can’t divorce her. If you divorce, how will she ever remarry?”

”How will she remarry?” Chu Zimu forcefully shook off You Jingqiu’s hand, causing her to stagger backward onto the staircase handrail before stopping.

With a mocking gaze, Chu Zimu looked over at Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu, giving a sinister smile, and said cruelly and mercilessly, ”How to remarry, Ms. You should have the most experience. What means to use to win a man’s heart, Mr. Xu should also deeply understand.”

Having completely torn off all pretense, Chu Zimu no longer needed to pretend to be a modest and dutiful son-in-law.

He revealed the shrewdness and ruthlessness of a businessman, attacking first with words before actions, saying, ”Even a prostitute can marry into a scholarly family as a daughter-in-law. With your guidance, how could she not find a good family?”

Hearing this, Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu’s faces turned ashen.

They couldn’t believe the man spewing venom before them was the Chu Zimu they knew.

Once Chu Zimu no longer loved You Mingyue, in his eyes, everyone in the Xu family was nothing.

Realizing this, You Jingqiu collapsed powerlessly on the floor, crying bitterly. ”Xu Zeqing, look at the good daughter you raised, she’s going to ruin our family!”

Xu Zeqing sat dejectedly on a chair, suddenly feeling a pang of regret for not having hardened his heart to kill Xu Xingguang the night she awoke.
