"How dare you talk nonsense, when did I ever hook up with your husband?"
Xi Yingxue, seeing no escape, could only confront her head-on.
"Why not? Do you really think I haven't investigated anything?" the woman said furiously, pointing at Xi Yingxue without any politeness. "Since you ask, I don't mind listing out all the things you've done."
Although it was entertaining to watch a spectacle, Wei Yumeng had been looking at the woman for a long time and had no idea who she was.
"Who is that woman?" Wei Yumeng asked.
Mu Linjing held her forehead. "Yumeng, you really should watch television. This is one of the biggest scandals of the year."
Wei Yumeng looked at Mu Linjing, waiting for her to continue.
"This woman is Zhang Jingyun, the wife of Wang Shuo, the president of a well-known entertainment company."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng understood. If she remembered correctly, Xi Yingxue was also signed to this entertainment company.
An artist from the company having an affair with the boss was indeed a significant matter.
"At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that in the entertainment industry, if there's a scandal, there's usually some truth to it."
"Xi Yingxue, I'm telling you, the private investigator I hired has taken plenty of photos of you. If I give all these to the media, I can immediately tear off your mask. What 'Rain Woman leader among models,' everyone has been fooled by you!"
Zhang Jingyun said as she moved closer to Xi Yingxue.
Xi Yingxue was already sweating profusely. She had initially thought that Zhang Jingyun would at least consider Wang Shuo's situation and not make the matter public, but it seemed she had completely miscalculated.
Sensing that things were heading in a worse direction, Wei Yumeng gave the coffee shop manager a look. The manager immediately understood and asked the other unrelated customers to leave.
They were also instructed not to spread word of what was happening there.
Next, she found a way to call Wang Shuo to inform him.
"Yumeng, why are you still helping them?" Mu Linjing asked, somewhat confused.
After how Xi Yingxue had treated Wei Yumeng just now, she would have preferred Xi Yingxue's scandal to be widely publicized.
Wei Yumeng replied helplessly, "Regardless, Xi Yingxue is currently the image spokesperson for the Zhan Corporation's project. Giving her a lesson before was enough. If her scandal gets out, who knows how the Zhan Corporation will be affected."
"But do you really think they won't talk if you tell them not to?" Mu Linjing felt that she herself certainly couldn't keep a secret.
"That's why I informed Wang Shuo, so he could see what's happening here himself. Plus, I'm present. If the Zhan Corporation eventually has to terminate their contract with Xi Yingxue, Wang Shuo won't impose unreasonable terms on the Zhan Corporation. And also… this is a favor to him. At least when he arrives, he'll see that we've already helped contain the information."
Mu Linjing looked at Wei Yumeng, momentarily speechless. They were supposed to be relaxing with coffee, yet Wei Yumeng could still think about the Zhan Corporation's interests.
She truly didn't know if such a Wei Yumeng was a good thing or a bad thing.
Shortly after, Wang Shuo arrived in a hurry. Under Wei Yumeng's arrangement, no one intercepted him from entering the coffee shop.
"What are you doing? Are you not embarrassed enough to be making a scene on the street?" Wang Shuo grabbed Zhang Jingyun and tried to pull her away.
But Zhang Jingyun was not willing to leave. "You're here just in time, we'll settle this here today!"
"Alright, I'm willing to explain, but can we talk about it at home?" Wang Shuo said, casting an embarrassed glance at Wei Yumeng. "Do you know whose territory this coffee shop is? It belongs to Madam Zhan. If we anger Mr. Zhan, we'll be in serious trouble."
Hearing this, Xi Yingxue trembled.
One reason she dared to be so arrogant in front of Wei Yumeng was because of Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo was the boss of a nationally renowned company, so she believed he would help her resolve any issues, just as he had before.
But she never expected Wang Shuo to have such an attitude towards Wei Yumeng.
Then, everything she had done to Wei Yumeng before was…
However, seeing how concerned Wang Shuo was about Wei Yumeng, Zhang Jingyun had a different idea.
She walked up to Wei Yumeng and said, "Madam Zhan, I apologize for making you witness our family's disgrace. But as women, I believe you can understand my feelings. Wang Shuo and I were a loving couple until this woman appeared. She interfered between me and my husband. I hope you can be a witness today and see who is at fault in this matter."
Wei Yumeng gave an awkward smile, not quite understanding how things had turned out this way.
After speaking, Zhang Jingyun opened her phone. "These are the photos I had a private investigator take. For three days within a week, they stayed overnight at the same hotel."
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing looked at the photos and felt that Zhang Jingyun's anger was understandable. If they saw their own husband acting like this, they probably wouldn't feel any better.
"Because you always protect her, you've suppressed all the rumors in various ways. Are you still going to tell me that all of this is a misunderstanding?"
Zhang Jingyun said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment and then said, "Mr. Wang, I believe you know very well that your wife has contributed to your company's success. You also have two children, right? Have you considered how your children would grow up without their mother?"
Wang Shuo sighed upon hearing this. "I…"
Zhang Jingyun looked at Wang Shuo. "We'll settle this today. Either you keep her and I leave, or you fire her. I won't leak this matter; I'd be too embarrassed!"
Hearing this, Xi Yingxue truly panicked. "Mr. Wang, you can't fire me! My popularity is so high, I can bring more profit to the company. Also… our relationship, even if I don't need a title. I've always been sincere with you."
Mu Linjing snorted disdainfully. "Shameless. Today, she deliberately caused trouble for our Yumeng for Mr. Zhan, and now she's saying such nice things."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't." Although Xi Yingxue was protesting, she clearly lacked confidence.
Wang Shuo looked at Zhang Jingyun, then at Xi Yingxue. "I'm sorry, Yingxue. Please return to the company later and complete your resignation procedures."
"Mr. Wang, since you've made this choice, what about the cooperation with the Zhan Corporation…" Wei Yumeng did not forget her own company's interests.
"You can rest assured about that. The fault lies entirely with us this time. We will propose a reasonable solution and discuss it with Mr. Zhan."
"Mr. Wang… Mr. Wang, please give me a chance…"
No matter how Xi Yingxue pleaded, Wang Shuo simply took his wife and left without looking back.
