"I was wrong, Master Leng! I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! I shouldn't have provoked you. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Xu Lan knelt on the cold ground with a look of horror on her face, her body trembling, tears pouring out like a flood. She looked at Leng Zexi pitifully and begged bitterly.

However, Leng Zexi just stood there expressionlessly, watching all this coldly, as if the crying woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "I'm not the one you should apologize to."

Hearing this, Xu Lan was shocked and understood instantly in her heart - Leng Zexi wanted her to apologize to Xia Ruoan.

That Xia Ruoan whom she had once regarded as an ant, disdained and even ridiculed? Xu Lan bit her lip tightly, her heart filled with resentment and resentment.

But the current situation is stronger than people. If we don’t do as we are told, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So, despite being reluctant, she finally turned her head slowly and looked at Xia Ruoan with complicated eyes.

At this time, Xia Ruoan was standing quietly by the side, his eyes cold and firm.

When she saw Xu Lan's gaze, she met it without flinching and said calmly, "I don't accept your apology. It's obvious that you don't really want to admit your mistake. Such an apology is meaningless to me. I don't want it."

"Alright, Xu Lan, put away your hypocritical apology. Ruoan won't accept it. And don't keep saying that Ruoan is your substitute. How can you compare to Ruoan? You're a married woman who lost her husband and wants to be a mistress, and you still have the nerve to say that."

"I'm ashamed for you." Xu Nan's eyes flashed with disgust.

She had pretended to be Xianglin Sao in the first place, so that her grandparents would favor her and get scolded.

Now he is still acting like a white lotus.

Xia Ruoan ignored Xu Lan and reached out to hold the handle beside him, trying to stand up.

At this moment, Leng Zexi, who had been paying attention to Xia Ruoan's every move, hurried forward and carefully helped her up.

At the same time, he whispered, "Slow down, be careful not to fall." As he spoke, his originally stern face revealed a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

Xia Ruoan raised her head and looked at Leng Zexi who was so close to her. Suddenly, she noticed that his hand was injured at some point and blood was slowly oozing out of the wound.

She couldn't help but frown, a look of worry on her face, and asked anxiously, "Is your hand injured? How did it get like this? You're so careless! Come on, let's go and treat the wound first."

As she spoke, she pulled Leng Zexi and prepared to walk towards the infirmary.

"It's okay, let's go in quickly! After we pick the persimmons, we'll go home directly. The wound isn't deep and it will heal soon." Leng Zexi frowned slightly, looked at the scar on his hand which was not deep but still somewhat glaring, and said casually without any concern.

At this time, Ouyang had already led Zhou Ling'er and walked over quickly.

"There is a special lounge in Nanyuan. Why don't you go in and treat the wound? It would be bad if it gets infected." Ouyang said as he looked at the wound on Leng Zexi's hand with concern.

"Senior Brother, Sister Ling'er, you are here!" Xia Ruoan's eyes moved and he greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Well, here we are. Zhou Mufan, it looks like you're determined to make that fictitious company of yours a thing of the past!"

Ouyang glanced at Zhou Mufan, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sneered mercilessly.

"Ms. Xu, could you please stop spouting nonsense from now on? I don't want to hear any more nonsense like Ruoan being your stand-in!"

"And with your status, you're not even worthy enough for my Ruoan to be your replacement! Whether it's character, looks, or talent, is there any one aspect of my Ruoan that isn't a hundred times or a thousand times better than yours?"

"If I were to say the only thing that can compare to my Ruoan, it would probably be your face as thick as the corner of the city wall and your shamelessness without any bottom line!" Ouyang crossed his arms, scanned Miss Xu from head to toe with a look of contempt, and mocked her sharply.

Xia Ruoan looked at Ouyang in disbelief when she heard this. Was this what her gentle and refined senior brother said?

Zhou Linger smiled when she saw Xia Ruoan's surprised look. Ouyang usually pretended to be gentle because he didn't want Ruoan to dislike him. In fact, Ouyang was very sharp-tongued.

"Okay, Ruoan, let's go in quickly." Ouyang no longer paid attention to Xu Lan, whose face turned blue with anger. He reached out to push Zhou Ling'er, then turned around and smiled at Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan.

"Okay, let's go in and treat the wound first." Xia Ruoan was worried about Leng Zexi's injury, so he pulled him to the lounge.

"Brother, you take Sister Ling'er over first. I'll take Brother Leng to treat his wounds. Nan Yi, you guys go over first too."

The persimmon planting area and the lounge were in two different directions, so Xia Ruoan let them go first.

"Okay. We'll wait for you over there." Nan Yi had followed Xia Ruoan in before and knew the way.

"It's really okay." Leng Zexi saw Xia Ruoan's caring look, and his heart felt warm and regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have kicked her with his foot, so that Ruoan wouldn't worry about him so much.

"If I said there is something wrong, then there is something wrong. Go and treat your wound first. There are plenty of persimmons here. There will be more if we go there later. Even if there are no more, there is still next year. The most important thing is to treat your wound first." Xia Ruoan said stubbornly.

When Xu Lan saw Xia Ruoan and the others leaving like that, she was scared and grabbed Xu Nanyiyi.

"Nan Yi, you and Xia Ruoan are good friends. Please help me. I am your blood sister. You can't just ignore my life or death." Xu Lan hoped that she could plead for her.

Xu Nan pushed them away and said, "Xu Lan, don't you feel disgusted?"

"Sister, our relationship is not even that of a plastic sister. Have you forgotten how you harmed me in the first place? In order to make grandpa and grandma like you, you framed me and slandered me time and time again, causing me to be punished by grandpa and grandma to kneel. Have you forgotten all this?"

"And because my brother loves me, you wanted to snatch him away and pushed me into the lake. If my eldest brother hadn't come looking for me, I would have been killed by you. Have you forgotten all this?" Xu Nanyi looked at her and said with a smile.

Liang Zian took Xu Lan's hand away when he heard it.

"Stay away from my Nanyi, you evil person." Liang Zian pulled Xu Nanyi away.

"Nan Yi, next time you see her, stay away from her to avoid being harmed by her. She's obviously not a good person." Liang Zian said worriedly.
