Chapter 48

"Why are you back? I haven't heard of you before." Lin Cai couldn't help but ask curiously while washing vegetables.

Leng Zexi raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you surprised?" Lin Cai smiled and shook his head: "A little bit, after all, you have been doing well abroad, and your sudden return to China is a bit unexpected. Is it because you went bankrupt abroad, so you came back to inherit your family business?"

When Leng Zexi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Can't you expect me to do something good?"

Lin Cai shrugged: "What else? Other than that, I really can't think of any other reason why you would come back."

Leng Zexi smiled and didn't answer. He didn't know how to explain his decision. He couldn't just say it was because he missed someone.

Moreover, if I really said it, I would probably be treated as a joke or even be kicked out.

So he chose to remain silent. At this time, Xia Ruoan, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at this side worriedly. Leng Zexi saw it and smiled at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Seeing this, Lin Cai asked again: "What made you decide to return to China?"

Leng Zexi sighed and finally said, "The situation in China is better, so I came back. I've been out there for three years, and I won't go out again."

Lin Cai listened and nodded to show his understanding. Then, he asked curiously, "How come you came back so soon? Didn't you go to discuss cooperation? You said you would be back next week, and Ouyang Lan said he couldn't find you."

"Stop talking. I rushed back as soon as I heard Teacher Xia talking about An An. I'll leave the cooperation to the vice president and the team. I've been dealing with Zhou Mufan's company this week.

I myself can't bear to bully my sister, but he dares to treat her like this, he must pay the price. "Lin Cai's eyes revealed indifference and determination, and he was obviously full of dissatisfaction and anger towards Zhou Mufan.

Leng Zexi couldn't deny that Zhou Mufan's actions were indeed infuriating, and even made people want to teach him a lesson.

"Didn't you meet Zhou Mufan before?" Leng Zexi couldn't help but feel suspicious. After all, the identities and backgrounds of the four brothers were there, and it was impossible for someone not to know them.

As long as Zhou Mufan was a little more careful, he would be able to realize that Xia Ruoan’s brothers were not ordinary people.

Lin Cai sneered when he heard this: "An An had been dating Zhou Mufan without telling us for a year. Later, when we proposed to meet, Zhou Mufan declined on the grounds that he had something to do."

"We know Zhou Mufan, but he doesn't know our true situation. Since he refused to meet us the first time, we have never taken the initiative to ask for a meeting again because we don't agree with him in our hearts."

"But seeing that An An was very happy, I didn't stop him. However, this time he even treated An An's biological parents like this. I can't tolerate it anymore." Lin Cai said with a frown, his tone carrying a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.

"Even if An An doesn't break up with him, we will not agree to An An being with him. He doesn't deserve him." Lin Cai said bluntly, with a determined light in his eyes.

He was very disappointed and angry at Zhou Mufan's behavior and thought that he was not worthy of An An continuing to associate with him.

"Zhou Mufan thinks his Zhou family is powerful, so I will bring the Zhou family down." Leng Zexi raised his eyebrows and sneered. He decided to take action and make the Zhou family pay the price.

"The Zhou family company has been in a mess recently. Is it you who is responsible?" Lin Cai asked curiously.

"I have my share, as well as the Ou family. I don't know why, but if it's the Zhou family I'm happy to see it succeed." Lin Cai did not deny his involvement. He was willing to cooperate with others to deal with the Zhou family.

"My eldest brother is coming back after hearing about this. He will be back at the end of this month. The second and fourth brothers should have also received the news and rushed back. We originally thought that not making An An public was to protect her, but now it seems that we were wrong."

Leng Zexi sighed, realizing that their previous thoughts might be wrong.

They had hoped to protect An An by keeping a low profile, but now the situation seems to be getting complicated.

"There are always some short-sighted people who think that our An An is easy to bully. Doesn't the Zhou family think that their family is an upper-class family? But in the eyes of the four of us brothers, they are nothing. It's not that An An is not worthy of the Zhou family, it's that the Zhou family is not worthy of An An."

Lin Cai said angrily.

"Are you planning to make An An public?" Leng Zexi's tone contained a hint of doubt, but more of affirmation.

His deep eyes stared at the people in front of him, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

"Well, it's time to make it public." Lin Cai nodded and answered firmly. His eyes revealed a kind of determination and confidence, as if he had made all the preparations.

"An An doesn't need to curry favor with any famous family, because we will make her one of them." Lin Cai continued, his voice full of pride and pride.

This sentence not only expresses his love and protection for An An, but also shows his sense of responsibility and mission as a brother.

Leng Zexi originally thought that he could handle these questions one by one, but he didn't expect four of them to come at once, and he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

"Um, Lin Cai, what are your requirements for the person who marries your sister?" Leng Zexi asked cautiously. He knew that this question might cause some controversy, but he had to ask.

"I haven't thought about it. How old is she? She's only 23. Let's wait a few years and then we will definitely find the best one for her." Lin Cai answered without thinking, his tone firm and decisive.

Obviously, he has his own ideas and plans regarding his sister's marriage.

As for Zhou Mufan, they had no good impression of him from the beginning. If they hadn't seen An An happy, they would have persuaded An An to break up with him long ago.

The reason why I have always tolerated him is just because An An likes him.

But through the performance of Zhou Mufan and the Zhou family, they firmly believed that as long as An An understood their true colors, she would leave without hesitation.

"Because of Zhou Mufan's incident, An An may not have any thoughts of falling in love in the short term.

By then, we will help her find someone with a good family background and a gentle personality.

If possible, even if she doesn't want to get married, we have the ability to support her. "Lin Cai said solemnly.

"So that's how it is." Leng Zexi's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that in a few years, their children will be old enough to help with cooking.

"Lin Cai, what do you think of me? Am I qualified to be your brother-in-law?" Leng Zexi asked cautiously.

Lin Cai, who was chopping meat carefully on the chopping board, looked up at Leng Zexi, quickened his movements, and said without hesitation: "Don't joke, this is absolutely impossible." Lin Cai's attitude was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Leng Zexi didn't expect to be rejected so straightforwardly. Feeling a little unwilling, he couldn't help but ask, "Why not? Am I so bad in your eyes?"

Lin Cai looked at him and replied seriously, "It's not because you are bad, but because you are too good.

If a conflict really happens, even if both sides suffer in the end, An An will be the one who suffers the most.

Moreover, your family and your grandfather's family are very powerful. Your Leng family is the richest family, and your grandfather's family has deep connections in both the black and white worlds. It is difficult for us to guarantee that we can retreat unscathed if we confront you." Lin Cai's tone was firm and his expression was serious.

After hearing this, Leng Zexi didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "These are my family background, but they can only make her life better, right?"

Lin Cai nodded, indicating that he understood his feelings, and also stated his position: "I don't want to see An An get hurt, so I must consider it carefully."

Leng Zexi sighed helplessly, and secretly lamented in his heart: Sometimes, having a good family background becomes an obstacle.
