Chapter 193

"Brother Hai, I'll be leaving first. I have finished filming my scenes for today!" Zhang Kai stood up, said goodbye to Brother Hai, and prepared to leave.

When Brother Hai heard this, he looked at Zhang Kai suspiciously and asked in confusion, "Where are you going? There are still many scenes to come, don't you want to stay and watch?"

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this guy had been working hard for a while, but now he has returned to his old ways and become lazy?

At this moment, Zhang Kai's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who are you?" Zhang Kai asked politely.

A deep and attractive voice came from the other end of the line: "Zhang Kai, I'm near where you're filming. Come out and meet me."

Zhang Kai recognized who the other party was. It turned out to be Leng Zexi calling.

Zhang Kai didn't find it strange that Leng Zexi was able to find his location. After all, with his current fame in the entertainment industry, it was not difficult for him to find out his whereabouts.

"No problem, Mr. Leng. Where is a suitable place for us to meet?" Zhang Kai responded readily.

"Then let's go to Jiubie Teahouse. I heard the environment there is nice." Leng Zexi suggested.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Jiubie Teahouse." Zhang Kai agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Kai turned to Brother Hai and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Hai, I have some personal matters to take care of, I have to go there quickly." After that, he hurried towards the Jiubie Teahouse.

When Leng Zexi arrived at the Jiubie Teahouse, he found that Zhang Kai had been waiting there.

There was a pot of steaming tea on the table, and the cups were neatly arranged. It was obvious that Zhang Kai had made sufficient preparations for this meeting.

Brother Hai originally insisted on coming along, but he was worried that Zhang Kai would get hot-headed and act rashly. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to take a compromise approach.

Let Brother Hai wait in the next room. In this way, if there is any fierce conflict or unexpected situation, Brother Hai will be able to know in time and intervene to deal with it.

At this time, Zhang Kai slowly raised his head and stared at Leng Zexi in front of him.

Deep in his eyes, a hint of unwillingness that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes.

Despite this, out of basic social etiquette, he still suppressed his inner emotional fluctuations, and with a smile on his face, he gently placed the cup of hot tea he had just filled in front of Leng Zexi.

However, what surprised Leng Zexi was that he did not expect that Zhang Kai was also a person who had a special liking for tea tasting.

After all, in today's fast-paced era, it is rare to find people like him who are so passionate about traditional tea culture.

At this moment, Leng Zexi slowly took out an opened letter and an exquisite necklace, and placed them neatly in front of Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai's eyes were immediately drawn to the letter. He stared at the obvious signs of opening the envelope, took a deep breath, and asked nervously, "Has she... read the letter?"

Facing Zhang Kai's anxious inquiry, Leng Zexi nodded calmly, took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand, and then responded calmly: "Yes, I read the letter with her."

Then, he put down the teacup, looked at Zhang Kai with a slightly mocking look, and continued: "However, if An asked me to convey to you, you may have got the wrong person? Because according to her, she has no impression of you, let alone the experience of rescuing you."

After saying this, Leng Zexi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a scornful smile.

"Also, to tell you the truth, she has never liked you from the beginning to the end, no matter when you were Zhou Mufan's good friend or in this situation now."

Leng Zexi said expressionlessly, his eyes so cold that they seemed to freeze the air.

Then, Leng Zexi changed the subject: "By the way! Here is something that I think you will be very interested in." As he said that, he quickly opened the information sent by Lu Qin and handed it to Zhang Kai beside him.

When Zhang Kai heard Leng Zexi bluntly say that Xia Ruoan was not in love with him, a strong feeling of unwillingness suddenly surged in his heart.

However, at the same time, he was also clearly aware deep in his heart that when he thought back on what he had done in the past, it was indeed too extreme and excessive.

With some hesitation and uneasiness, Zhang Kai slowly reached out and took the phone handed to him by Leng Zexi.

When your eyes fall upon the information on the screen, the first thing that catches your eye is the clearly marked date.

At this moment, an ominous premonition surged into Zhang Kai's heart like a tide, causing his breathing to involuntarily stop.

Looking further down, I saw a detailed record of the specific date when Xia Ruoan called the police and the entire incident.

As he read deeper, Zhang Kai clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and the joints turned slightly white from excessive force.

When he finally saw the scene of the incident, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Zhang Kai's mind, and all the clues were instantly connected - everything became so clear, it was because of his own fault that a disaster almost occurred and Xia Ruoan was seriously injured.

Fortunately, Zhou Mufan happened to pass by and rescued them in time, thus avoiding the worst situation from happening.

But... this matter has been kept secret until now, and even he himself knows nothing about it.

Zhang Kai suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened, and realized that what everyone said was true. What he had given Xia Ruoan from beginning to end was nothing but pain and torture.

He stared at the person in front of him and shouted in a low voice: "Why do you show me these things? Do you want me to feel guilty? Okay! Then I tell you, I am indeed full of guilt and even regretful!"

"If I had been able to snatch her away from Zhou Mufan earlier, how could it be your turn to show off and be aggressive to me here today!" After saying that, Zhang Kai glared at the other party fiercely, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Leng Zexi was not moved at all. He just stared at Zhang Kai quietly and said slowly: "I don't want to make you feel guilty, but you should really feel ashamed of this."

"You should know that all the suffering and harm that Ruo An suffered from Zhou Mufan was more or less caused by you. You were secretly fueling the situation."

After saying this, Leng Zexi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It should be noted that Leng Zexi's family background is extremely distinguished and his family's high status is eye-catching.

The Leng family has always been engaged in business. After several generations of inheritance, they have accumulated huge wealth and network resources.

In contrast, the Zhang family to which Zhang Kai belongs is a prominent family that developed from politics.

In this case, if the Leng family and the Zhang family really had a head-on conflict or contest, it would be difficult to judge who was stronger and who was weaker at the moment.

However, at this moment, in the dispute over Xia Ruoan's emotional entanglement, both sides have obviously reached a stalemate and are unwilling to give in to each other.

However, you need to know that at the beginning, Xia Ruoan clearly rejected Zhou Mufan and never had the idea of being with Zhou Mufan.

The current situation has turned out like this because you accidentally provoked others outside, thus implicating the innocent Ruoan.

At that critical moment, Zhou Mufan stepped forward like a god sent from heaven and staged a thrilling drama of a hero saving a beauty.

It was also because of this that Ruoan, out of gratitude, finally chose to be with Zhou Mufan.

"It is no exaggeration to say that your contribution to Ruo'an's marriage to Zhou Mufan is not small!" Leng Zexi stared at him in front of him with burning eyes and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Zhang Kai's right hand, which was originally tightly holding the teacup, involuntarily increased the strength. The fragile teacup could no longer withstand the pressure and broke instantly.

The sharp fragments mercilessly pierced his palm, and bright red blood flowed out from the wound, but Zhang Kai seemed not to notice it at the moment. He just stared at Leng Zexi with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked with a trembling voice: "This... is this really what Ruoan said?"

Facing Zhang Kai's almost pleading eyes, Leng Zexi nodded slightly to express his affirmation, and responded firmly: "Yes, it is indeed what Ruoan said."

"So, to some extent, you can be said to be the key person who brought Ruo'an and Zhou Mufan together. And all the grievances she has endured over the years are, in the final analysis, all because of you."

"To be frank, you have deeply hurt her already fragile heart twice."

"So you said you like Ruoan? Why don't I believe it?" Leng Zexi stood up calmly, staring at the other party sharply, his voice so cold that it seemed like ice chips could fall out.

He reached out and took the phone on the table, holding it tightly in his hand, as if trying to control his increasingly excited emotions.

"You keep saying that you love Ruoan, but all you've ever brought her is endless hurt! Is this what you call love?"

Leng Zexi asked angrily, his angry eyes like two sharp swords piercing straight at the person in front of him.

"If you really care about Ruo An, then from today on, please disappear from her world forever and never appear in front of her again!" Leng Zexi said every word, his tone firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Also, I warn you, don't even think about getting close to Ruo'an again! Otherwise..." At this point, Leng Zexi narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a chilling aura, "I will never let you go!"

Faced with Leng Zexi's tough attitude and threats, Zhang Kai slowly raised his head and looked at him.

Although he felt somewhat unwilling, he now understood that he had lost his qualifications.
