Leng Zexi sat in a spacious and slightly deserted room. The dim lights of the city outside the window formed a sharp contrast with the chillness in his heart.

His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was the ultimate ridicule and disdain for Zhou Mufan's actions.

He recalled Zhou Mufan's indifference and contempt towards An An and his family, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

If Zhou Mufan could humble himself a little and give An An and her family the respect and care they deserve, then his life trajectory might be completely different.

After all, in this complex social network, the power of Lin Cai and others cannot be underestimated. They could have been Zhou Mufan's solid backing and helped him reach the peak of his career.

But unfortunately, Zhou Mufan's arrogance and selfishness made him push these opportunities further and further away.

Leng Zexi knew in his heart that his feelings for An An went far beyond sympathy and love, but more of a firm belief in wanting to protect her happy life.

Therefore, he not only provided An An with meticulous care on a personal level, but also quietly laid out his career, hoping that through his own efforts, it would not be a problem for the Zhou family to move to a higher level.

The funny thing is that Zhou Mufan is blind and naturally doesn't deserve their help.

"How sad and ridiculous." Leng Zexi sighed in his heart, tapping the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound, as if warming up for the "good show" that was about to be staged.

"The real show has just begun. Isn't Zhou Mufan busy trying to curry favor with the adopted son of the Xia family and getting unusually close to Xia Meihui recently? Ask someone to send a message to Xu Lan." Leng Zexi's words were filled with an unquestionable chill, completely different from the gentleness he had shown in front of Xia Ruoan before.

Ouyang Lan heard this and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "You are indeed very clever. Now, with the complicated emotions of new and old loves intertwined, it depends on how Zhou Mufan chooses."

"He could have offended anyone else but you. Isn't this just asking for trouble and heading towards death?" Ouyang Lan shook his head and chuckled, with a hint of mockery and anticipation in his eyes.

"He didn't offend me directly. If that were the case, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to deal with him. His biggest mistake was angering An An, which is a line he should never cross."

"If he had a little respect and consideration for An An, I wouldn't mind so much. But unfortunately, he hurt An An, which I cannot tolerate." Leng Zexi said in a firm tone, with an unquestionable light in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan suddenly understood and thought to himself: If I offend Leng Zexi, there might be a glimmer of hope, but if I anger Xia Ruoan, it would be endless torture and an experience worse than death.

"As for your wound, should we go to the hospital first? Otherwise, it might get worse tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'll have to reschedule. After all, you're not going to be able to leave tomorrow in this condition. Lin Cai seems to have thrown all our years of friendship to the wind when it comes to his sister. You're lucky to be standing here safe and sound."

"I guess the reason why he didn't do it directly is that he was afraid of giving you a bad reputation as a 'husband-killing woman' and affecting his sister's future." Ouyang Lan said half-jokingly.

"Hmph, if you can't speak, please keep silent and take care of your own injuries. I can handle mine."

As Leng Zexi spoke, he raised his phone and took a picture of the wound, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, as if he was completely confident in his own strength and the severity of the injury.

"What on earth are you planning? Don't tell me you're going to just ignore it and let the wound heal on its own. If you do that, your wound will be horrible by tomorrow, and the impact will be huge."

Ouyang Lan stared at him in confusion, his tone full of bewilderment.

"Didn't you say you were going to take An An home tomorrow? Do you really intend to appear in front of her like this and make her feel bad for you? Don't forget, if Lin Cai gets to know about this, he'll probably take the opportunity to teach you a lesson. You'd better be careful."

Seeing that he seemed to really have this intention, Ouyang Lan couldn't help but stare in amazement, "You really are a true 'profiteer'!"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued, "You really know how to make the best use of everything, even your own pain. In order to gain An An's sympathy and heartache, you even skipped the medicine. This kind of scheming is really admirable."

Ouyang Lan could only shake his head helplessly in the end, and for a moment he couldn't find more words to respond to this unexpected decision.

"I'm doing this to promote the relationship between An An and me. What do you know, single dog?" Leng Zexi rolled his eyes at him. "Is there any way to make it look even more serious?"

Leng Zexi felt that the wound on his face was not very obvious, but it was more painful on his body. However, he couldn't just take off his clothes.

"Yes, I got beaten again, and it was on my face. Lin Cai tried his best to avoid hitting your face, and I was wondering why you still offered it to others to hit you. It seems like you were calculating."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Zexi actually punched the injured part of his face again.

Ouyang Lan was absolutely right in thinking that he could offend no one but Leng Zexi. When this man got ruthless, he would even beat himself.

"No wonder Lin Cai doesn't approve of you and An An being together. If An An was my sister, I wouldn't want a brother-in-law like you. You're as cunning as a sieve. An An has been fooled around by you. Even ten An Ans might not be as powerful as you." Ouyang Lan shook his head and said.

"I know whether I should feel sorry for you having to face the challenge of An An's four brothers, or feel sorry for An An for being favored by you." Ouyang Lan lay on the sofa, looking at the places where he was beaten, which had become a little darker in color.

"Your love is a bit extreme. If An An doesn't like you and is only with you for the sake of the child, would you be willing to accept that?" Ouyang Lan asked seriously, staring into his eyes.

"No, I will make her like me and fall in love with me. It's just a matter of time. If I can't make her like me, it means I haven't tried hard enough."

"And what you mean by asking this is that I'm not as good as that loser Zhou Mufan." Leng Zexi looked at him with cold eyes, as if he would suffer if he nodded or said yes.

"No, how can Zhou Mufan compare to you? He's a child of destiny, a useless idiot from an ordinary family with no ability. If it weren't for the help of Lin Cai and the others over the past three years, he might not have achieved what he has today."

Ouyang Lan naturally didn't think Leng Zexi was inferior to Zhou Mufan, but anyone with a brain would know how to choose.
