Upon hearing these words from You Jingqiu, Xu Zeqing’s expression became serious, and he quickly warned You Jingqiu, “You should stop thinking about unrealistic things! What do you think a prestigious family is? Families that can be called prestigious have at least three generations of noble lineage. They have their children educated with knowledge and wealth accumulated over several generations. All of their children are all outstanding and exceptional individuals.”
“Mingyue may be much more outstanding than the children from the families you’ve encountered, but when compared to those born into prestigious families who have been at the top since birth, there is still a world of difference.”
It wasn’t that Xu Zeqing looked down on his own child, but rather that the children from the prestigious families were too outstanding.
Xu Zeqing’s words were ruthless and undeniably realistic, making You Jingqiu feel somewhat embarrassed.
For these years, she had been running a beauty salon, and while it provided for her living and allowed her to interact with some wealthy wives and young ladies, they were still far from the true elite aristocracy.
She had never had contact with the daughters and sons of real prestigious families, so she had no idea about the gap between her child and them.
You Jingqiu wrapped her coat tightly around her and watched as the nurse pushed Xu Xingguang into the elevator. In her heart, she thought, “Even if my daughter isn’t as good as those daughters of prestigious families, she will definitely have a better future than Mo Yinshu’s daughter! That will be enough!”

The news of Xu Xingguang waking up was like a thunderbolt struck a pond, blowing up a bunch of big fish.
“Ah Heng, I heard that Xu Xingguang has actually woken up, is it true?” A woman dressed in a white Chanel-style suit and carrying a black leather bag barged into Jiang Heng’s office.
Behind the office desk, a man in a gray shirt was sitting, leaning back in his boss chair, his muscular shoulders taut. Hearing the commotion, he raised his head, his dark eyes filled with ruthlessness.
“You know?” The man’s voice was quite calm.
Bai Xuan nodded, “I saw it on the news.”
The topic #Genius Mystery Writer Xu Xingguang Awakens# had already occupied the Weibo1It’s like Twitter or Instagram in China hot search bar.
Bai Xuan happened to be shopping downstairs today, intending to wait for Jiang Heng to get off work to have dinner together. When she saw this Weibo post in the coffee shop, Bai Xuan was so shocked that she spilled her coffee and immediately rushed to Jiang Heng’s office to confirm.
“Ah Heng, is it true? Xu Xingguang has really awakened?” Bai Xuan couldn’t believe it.
Thinking of the sins they had committed against Xu Xingguang over the years, Bai Xuan felt uneasy.
Jiang Heng nodded before saying, “It’s true.”
He leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the armrest, and the other holding a mouse, opening a vlog that Xu Xingguang had posted on Weibo an hour ago.
Bai Xuan sat on Jiang Heng’s lap, leaning against his chest as they watched the video.
It was a recording in the rehabilitation room of the hospital, showing Xu Xingguang in a loose striped hospital gown, enduring pain while doing walking exercises. Her skin was a bit pale, but her face was extremely beautiful and captivating.
Xu Xingguang’s face was so enchanting that her beautiful eyes outshone the stars, possessing a charm that one couldn’t forget at first sight.
For these three years, whenever Bai Xuan’s condition worsened, Jiang Heng would take her to Yujiang City to extract blood from Xu Xingguang to supply Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan was absolutely sure she wasn’t mistaken. “It’s really her!”
But how was this possible?
Bai Xuan shook her head in disbelief and said, “She has been in a coma for three years, and the doctors said her organs were rapidly deteriorating. It’s impossible for her to wake up!”
Jiang Heng was also a bit annoyed.
Back then, to eliminate future troubles, he had directly taken over Xu Zeqing’s company. The Xu family was now like rats hiding in the sewers, running away whenever they saw him.
But Jiang Heng hadn’t expected Xu Xingguang to wake up.
Xu Xingguang was known for her unwavering determination and tenacity.
She must know the truth about his pursuit of her from years ago, and she probably wouldn’t let it slide.
Bai Xuan, nestled in Jiang Heng’s arms, hugged his waist and said with concern, “She will definitely seek revenge on us.”
“Revenge?” Jiang Heng sneered and said dismissively, “Even the former Xu family was nothing to me, and the current Xu family is now bankrupt. Her father has married someone new, and her mother is dead. What can she use to seek revenge on us?”
“It’s just like a shrimp challenging a giant crocodile. She’s overestimating herself.” Jiang Heng didn’t take Xu Xingguang seriously.
The business world was a vast river, and the Bright Day Cosmetics Company founded by Xu Zeqing was just a small shrimp in that river. The Jiang family, on the other hand, was a giant crocodile.
A mere small shrimp, how could it catch Jiang Heng’s attention?
Bai Xuan was still worried. She said, “As the saying goes, ‘The barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.’ If Xu Xingguang really goes crazy, it could be troublesome.”
Jiang Heng put down the mouse, embraced Bai Xuan’s slender waist, and lovingly kissed her forehead. He said, “Darling, don’t worry. Even if Xu Xingguang wakes up, she won’t be able to stir up any storms.”
“If she is willing to stay quietly in Yujiang City, I’ll spare her life. After all, she has been a free blood bank for you for these past few years. Besides, although your condition is temporarily under control, there is still a possibility of a relapse in the future. Keeping her alive may still be useful.”
“But if she doesn’t know how to watch her place…” Jiang Heng’s eyes suddenly became cruel, and he sneered, “Then I’ll make her disappear from this world forever!”
She’s just a slightly famous writer. If she dies unexpectedly, who would dare say it was his doing?
