Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Previously when he saw Xu Zeqing, he had also asked Xu Zeqing why he wanted to sell the house.

Xu Zeqing’s explanation was: the kids in the family have all started their own lives, he divorced his wife, and plans to sell the house for a change in living environment.

Well, divorce is a common occurrence, the buyer didn’t think much of it.

At this moment, Xu Xingguang is returning Xu Qingnian. The buyer sees Xu Qingnian as a bedridden patient in a wheelchair, Xu Zeqing’s hand also injured, and feels somewhat uncomfortable.

Therefore, upon hearing Xu Xingguang’s words, the buyer quickly frowned and asked, ”What has happened?”

Xu Zeqing gave Xu Xingguang a fierce glare, hinting for her not to speak indiscriminately.

Xu Xingguang directly ignored Xu Zeqing, she smiled and said, ”In just four years, first I accidentally got injured and became a vegetable, then my grandfather had a bathing accident and became paralyzed. Not long after, my mother died mysteriously by falling into the river. Although my father remarried quickly, guess what, hey, he soon divorced my stepmother too!”

”Oh, I forgot to mention, my stepsister recently just went to prison.”

Upon hearing this, the buyer’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xu Xingguang looked up at the old villa in front of her, shook her head, and sighed: ”It’s said that surrounding greenery indicates vitality overflow. But look, there’s a huge Chinese pistache growing at the back-right of this house.”

”Do you know what a Chinese pistache does?”

The buyer shook his head in confusion, while the agent guessed what Xu Xingguang would say and his expression turned complex.

Xu Xingguang: ”It attracts ghosts!”

The buyer was so frightened that he shivered, looking at the house in front of him felt eerie. The buyer glared at Xu Zeqing bitterly and cursed under his breath: ”How can you be so unscrupulous, selling such a house would be like seeing ghosts!”

The buyer walked away with a gloomy face.

The agent shook his head, he told Xu Zeqing: ”Before coming, he asked me about your family’s affairs, I kept it from him all along. Now, your house won’t sell unless it’s reduced by millions.”

The agent also left.

When everyone had gone, Xu Zeqing finally looked at Xu Xingguang with eyes full of hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, ”I should have choked you to death that night, you villain!”

Xu Xingguang smiled gently, ”Sorry, you didn’t have the chance.”

Xu Qingnian frowned and asked: ”Choke to death?” He still didn’t know about the incident where Xu Zeqing initially wanted to remove Xu Xingguang’s oxygen mask and send her to Divine Concealment Island for a marriage.

Obviously, Xu Zeqing wouldn’t mention such a thing.

He and Xu Xingguang stared at each other silently, both having a tacit understanding.

”Alright, push me inside.” Xu Qingnian said to Xu Zeqing.

Xu Zeqing furrowed his brows but eventually reached out to grasp Xu Qingnian’s wheelchair and pushed him inside.

Sister Lin carried Xu Qingnian’s belongings inside and quickly came out.

Xu Qingnian’s wheelchair stopped under the foyer, he turned to look at Xu Xingguang and sighed: ”You should go back.”

Xu Xingguang nodded and told him: ”The caregiver will arrive in the afternoon.” After speaking, she left.

Upon knowing that Xu Xingguang had already arranged a new caregiver for the old man, Xu Zeqing’s unpleasant expression finally improved.

Xu Zeqing moved all Xu Qingnian’s belongings into the room he used to stay in, the room was covered in dust, while smoking, he wiped it with a damp towel.

Xu Qingnian sat in the wheelchair, watching his silently working figure, suddenly asked: ”What’s the situation with the Xu Family now?”

Xu Zeqing was silent.

His silence represented the Xu Family being truly in a dire situation.

”Did the project you invested in encounter real issues?”

This matter hadn’t been raised, but once mentioned, Xu Zeqing went ballistic.

Xu Zeqing suddenly threw down the damp towel in his hand fiercely, his eyes bloodshot and cursed: ”We’ve been cheated! The subway will indeed pass through South City, but not under the neighborhood we invested in, rather the adjacent neighborhood! Unless those two corpses are exhumed, the neighborhood’s houses can’t expect to sell!”

”I invested my entire fortune and ended up bankrupt! That wretch Xiahou Zuiyue was setting me and Li Yucheng up from the very beginning! He’s in cahoots with that white-eyed wolf Xu Xingguang!”

Early this morning, the City Lord Mansion website published the South City subway planning map.

When Xu Zeqing discovered the subway wouldn’t pass under Longhu Shuilan, but instead under the adjacent communities, he felt as if the sky was falling.

He phoned Li Yucheng to question Xiahou Zuiyue why he deceived them, and Xiahou Zuiyue feigned ignorance, saying: ”Is that what you thought? The City Lord Mansion’s municipal department does plans that are thoroughly deliberated and discussed.”
