Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 297 - 110: Xingguang: There Is No Forgiveness in My World
"Young Master, it’s highly likely that the wrist bone in your right hand is fractured."
Accompanying Jiang Heng, along with his bodyguard, was a family doctor skilled in medicine. She didn’t need an X-ray; she just pinched Jiang Heng’s arm and from his reaction she could tell the extent of his wrist bone injury.
Jiang Heng’s cold, stern face was pallid with pain, making his hostile aura even more apparent.
Upon hearing the diagnosis from the family doctor, he wasn’t surprised. The instant his wrist was grasped by Xu Xingguang, Jiang Heng knew there was a nine out of ten chance his wrist bone was fractured.
It was only today that he realized he had truly underestimated Xu Xingguang’s combat prowess.
His emotions were quite complex now, mingled with anger and indignation, as well as astonishment and bewilderment.
Back then, in order to pursue Xu Xingguang, he had conducted many investigations on her in secret. To successfully approach her and earn her trust and affection, Jiang Heng had also done many seemingly caring gestures.
He and Xu Xingguang had been a couple for a time, and he knew Xu Xingguang far better than the average person.
When Jiang Heng first met Xu Xingguang, she was only 17 years old, still a young girl.
Back then, she was young, not nearly as composed and adept as she was now, and at times she would show a somewhat pretentious side. He had once secretly seen Xu Xingguang unable to open a bottle cap, resorting to using her teeth to bite it off. At that time, he found her quite adorable.
Logically, Xu Xingguang should be physically weaker than before after three years in a vegetative state. But this girl who once couldn’t even open a bottle cap could now crush his wrist bone with her bare hands. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Does this even make sense?
If he hadn’t seen Xu Xingguang himself lying weak on the bed, at the mercy of others, he would have suspected that she spent those three years not as a vegetative patient in the hospital, but secretly lifting weights.
"Young Master." The family doctor hesitated, looking at Jiang Heng fearfully, reminding, "Your hand needs to be reset at the hospital soon; it cannot be delayed."
"Okay."
"Did Miss Xu really cause this injury?" The family doctor still couldn’t believe that a delicate woman like Xu Xingguang could fracture Jiang Heng’s wrist bone.
Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, glancing coldly at the doctor, "What are you talking about?"
The family doctor was startled internally.
She had misspoken.
For a man standing over six feet like the Young Master, the fact that Xu Xingguang could fracture his wrist was quite embarrassing if it got out.
"I misspoke." The doctor gathered her things and left with the medical kit.
After everyone had left, Jiang Heng curled up against the corner of the sofa, letting out low, pained groans.
Once the yacht docked, Jiang Heng got into the waiting car at the pier and told the chief assistant, Jiang Qin, who hurried over after receiving the call, "Entertain them on my behalf and don’t neglect them."
After speaking, Jiang Heng glanced over at Bai Xi, who was standing beside Cheng Xizhou, carrying his bag.
Jiang Qin noticed Jiang Heng’s gaze and followed it.
"Isn’t that..." Jiang Qin stopped himself before exposing Bai Xi’s identity.
He bent over and said to Jiang Heng in the car, "Young Master, Miss Bai Xi is also here. Do you have any message you want me to convey to her?"
Jiang Qin seemed to have grasped the situation: Jiang Heng’s supper invitation to the cast of "Guests on the Deserted Island" held ulterior motives.
What he truly intended was to invite Bai Xi, the younger sister of the Young Madam.
Could it be that the Young Master had developed an interest in Miss Bai Xi?
The thought of Jiang Heng harboring inappropriate feelings towards Bai Xuan’s younger sister made Jiang Qin’s scalp tingle.
This was truly a Shura Formation.
If the Young Master could handle this well, he could enjoy the company of both sisters. If handled poorly, the sisters might turn against each other, sparking scandal after scandal.
Jiang Qin was most afraid of the Young Madam and Miss Bai Xi teaming up to retaliate against the Young Master, which would indeed be a spectacle.
"Look after her, make sure she doesn’t get pressured into drinking," Jiang Heng instructed before having the driver leave.
Hearing Jiang Heng’s words, Jiang Qin felt completely numb.
It’s settled; the Young Master truly has impure intentions towards Miss Bai Xi.
Jiang Qin composed himself and walked towards Director Zhen and his group with a bright smile, "Hello, Director Zhen, I’m Jiang Qin. Our Young Master has some urgent business to attend to and won’t be able to join you for supper. I’ll be here to keep you company tonight."
Jiang Qin was accustomed to such tasks, instantly livening the atmosphere with his words.
Director Zhen and his group had already noticed the discord between Xu Xingguang and Jiang Heng, and the thought of dining with Jiang Heng was already unappealing.
