Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 129 - 79: When Virtue Falls Short of Position, Calamity Follows (Part 2)
Huo Wen’an, however, refused to let go of her. He tilted his head to kiss Xu Xingguang’s long hair and said to her in a deliberately domineering and threatening tone, "Don’t you dare push me away."
His words had a double meaning.
Not only did he forbid Xu Xingguang from pushing his embrace away, but he also wouldn’t allow Xu Xingguang to push him away as a person.
Xu Xingguang hated being threatened the most, and she really wanted to kick Huo Wen’an away. But thinking about how pitiable Boss Huo was, her heart softened again.
"Fine, then let go of me."
Only then did Huo Wen’an let her go.
"By the way, after you got out of prison, did you look for your biological parents?" Xu Xingguang thought that Huo Wen’an would have searched for them once he knew his background.
Huo Wen’an indeed nodded. "I did."
"Did you find them?"
Huo Wen’an nodded, "Hmm, you could say I did."
You could say.
This was an intriguing reply.
"Are they very disappointed in you?" Otherwise, someone on the brink of death like Huo Wen’an wouldn’t run back to Cangshan Town alone to wait for death.
Huo Wen’an said, "When my mom stole me, she gave another little boy born on the same day to them. They didn’t know and raised him all along. It’s said that the child was also very smart. But the child had bad luck and was kidnapped at five and disappeared. They later had another son and raised him to be very accomplished."
Huo Wen’an laughed self-deprecatingly, "With such an outstanding son as a comparison, can a big son like me, who has been to prison, be liked?"
Hearing this, Xu Xingguang frowned and said, "But that’s not something you can decide."
Thinking in another position, Xu Xingguang sighed, "If I were your parents, knowing your experiences, I would only love you even more."
Thinking of her biological son being stolen by a lunatic, beaten and abused for more than a decade, and imprisoned to protect the lunatic’s daughter.
She felt infinite heartache.
Xu Xingguang concluded, "Your biological parents are not good people either."
Huo Wen’an nodded, his gaze devoid of warmth, and he said in an unpredictable tone, "Indeed, not good people."
Xu Xingguang was very sensitive to people’s emotions. She sensed that Huo Wen’an not only had no affection for his biological parents but also seemed to harbor hatred.
She then guessed that Huo Wen’an’s biological parents must have done many things against him.
"Come in with me." Xu Xingguang pulled Huo Wen’an’s arm and walked into the detainment room behind them.
Letting go of Huo Wen’an’s arm, Xu Xingguang walked to the corner and grabbed the dog chain on the ground. With a strong tug, she pulled out the dog chain nailed into the wall.
Dust flew everywhere at once.
Xu Xingguang looked clearly fragile, yet those hands contained infinite strength, able to pull a dog chain from the wall with bare hands, and could easily crush a human skull too.
Huo Wen’an was once again stunned by the infinite power hidden within Xu Xingguang’s delicate body.
Xu Xingguang threw the dog chain in front of Huo Wen’an and said, "To your childhood self, this dog chain was an unremovable shackle. But see, we’ve grown, and we can now easily pull it out."
"You need to understand, you’ve grown up, and those who harmed you have aged. The wheel of fortune turns, it’s time for you to take revenge. Next time you run into someone like your mom, don’t hesitate, just kick them to death for me."
Upon hearing this, a burning intensity appeared in Huo Wen’an’s eyes. He leaned closer to Xu Xingguang and asked in a low voice, "If they were your family, should it be the same?"
"Especially if they are family, it should be so." Xu Xingguang answered very resolutely.
She earnestly educated Huo Wen’an, "Family should be our safe harbor. If they are willing to shield us from the storm, we should respect and love them. If they become the tornado that harms us, they are the most detestable enemies."
"Betrayal and bullying from family are far more detestable than from strangers and enemies." Xu Xingguang, having been reincarnated ten times, had no experience without taking direct action against her kin.
Precisely because she was repeatedly betrayed and hurt by family, she developed this character.
She no longer preached about respecting the elderly and loving the young.
She followed only one principle—
For those who love me, I will love them doubly.
For those who wrong me, I will repay them a hundredfold.
Huo Wen’an greatly agreed with Xu Xingguang’s viewpoint, and he said with great interest, "You are really different from other girls."
If it had been another girl, she would definitely persuade him to let go of his prejudices and try to repair his relationship with his family. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
After all, they are his family.
But Xu Xingguang is an extraordinary girl. She is vengeful, not tolerating even a grain of sand in her eyes.
