Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Hearing this, Fang Jinsu’s assistant joined in the commotion: ”Yes, yes, Bai Xi, just say it! With so many people watching, just say it boldly, let’s see what she can do to you!”

”Right! Speak up, we’ll get justice for you together!”

”Exactly, if a villain does something bad and the victim isn’t allowed to speak out, what kind of logic is that? Those unaware might think we’re living in a feudal society oppressed by royalty!”

Jie Siyu glared at Bai Xi fiercely, wishing she could drink her blood and eat her flesh.

Encouraged by the crowd, Bai Xi found her courage. This time, Bai Xi decided not to be a pushover anymore.

She suddenly lifted her T-shirt, revealing her back. The crowd then saw the dense old whip scars on Bai Xi’s back.

Although Cheng Xizhou had already seen the whip scars on Bai Xi’s body before, every time she saw them, she was shocked anew.

She quickly turned her head away, unable to bear watching this scene.

The onlookers all changed their expressions upon seeing the whip scars on Bai Xi’s body. They couldn’t imagine the suffering she had endured to have such injuries on the back of a fragile woman.

”My God, those scars...”

”How could they treat a girl like this? Is this really a modern civilized society?” Some pitied Bai Xi, some felt sorry for Bai Xi.

After all these years, Bai Xi could still clearly remember the pain when the whip mercilessly lashed her body.

Her body seemed to remember the memories of the punishment, uncontrollably trembling. It was as if Bai Xi felt herself being taken back to the dark years of being enslaved in the underground mines.

Tears fell uncontrollably, Bai Xi sobbed softly: ”Back then, I fought desperately to escape from Dong Xi’s clutches. But in revenge, he cruelly sold me to an underground mine.”

”For three whole years, I was enslaved like an animal. If I worked a bit slowly or ate a bit more, I would be whipped. If it weren’t for an undercover journalist exposing the existence of that underground mine, I might have died down there.”

Bai Xi lowered her T-shirt, raising a heart-wrenching smile on her face.

She spoke with a numb expression: ”Although I was rescued from the mine and saw the light again, my psyche was so damaged that I contemplated suicide countless times. But in the end, I survived through sheer willpower because my life was exchanged by my father’s life.”

”No matter the suffering in the Human World, I still have to live.

Bai Xi knelt on one knee in front of Jie Siyu, mentally collapsing as she roared at Jie Siyu: ”You sold me, and I never took revenge on you. Bai Xuan knew full well what you did, yet chose not to save me. I never took revenge on her either.”

”I lived like an invisible person, staying far away, leading a life of anonymity. But why won’t you leave me alone?”

”Do you have to push me to death to feel at peace?”

”Mom!” That cry of ”Mom” was heart-wrenching, ”We’re both your children, why do you treat me like this?”

Bai Xi’s hoarse questioning completely put Jie Siyu on the moral high ground. Her true face exposed, Jie Siyu was criticized by all, becoming the wicked woman in their eyes.

”Selling her daughter to an old man as a mistress, she really could do that.”

”The Young Madam of the Jiang Family is no better, watching her sister being sold by their mother yet choosing to turn a blind eye, that’s not just indifference, that’s malice!”

”When Jie Siyu sold Bai Xi, Bai Xi was still a little girl, wasn’t she? That’s a crime, she should be in jail! And the Young Madam of the Jiang Family should be punished too!”

Public opinion is a mountain, Bai Xi didn’t need to deliberately do anything more, public opinion would naturally drown this mother and daughter.

Xu Xingguang stood inside the hall, hearing Bai Xi question Jie Siyu, and slightly curled his lips, murmuring softly in relief: ”That’s right, only the child who cries gets the candy.”

Faced with endless criticism and cold stares, Jie Siyu’s mental defenses completely collapsed.

She realized clearly that Bai Xi had destroyed her reputation and dignity completely.

Along with it, she had also implicated Bai Xuan.

It wouldn’t be long before these scandals would spread throughout the city by this group of gossip lovers. By then, out of a desire to protect their reputation, the Jiang Family would definitely expel Bai Xuan without mercy!

Realizing the situation was beyond salvation, Jie Siyu felt as if struck by lightning.

She suddenly regretted it.

She shouldn’t have rushed to Bai Xi causing trouble after receiving Bai Xuan’s complaining phone call. But she didn’t expect that the usually indifferent Bai Xi, whom she could humiliate at will, would actually change her character.
