The press conference went smoothly, and Wei Yumeng's life returned to normal.
Thanks to the press conference, Wei Yumeng's reputation was not only cleared but also reversed. More people believed that she had sacrificed herself for her husband's enterprise, which was admirable. Wei Yumeng found these comments both amusing and exasperating.
Netizens were fickle and never stuck to one opinion. However, this matter had come to an end, and Wei Yumeng intended to bid farewell to it completely.
But after this incident, Wei Yumeng once again felt Zhan Mohan's sincerity towards her and felt she should do something for him. However, in daily life, Zhan Mohan lacked nothing. What could she choose?
"You mean you want to give Brother a gift?" Zhan Yichen exchanged glances with Mu Linjing. "Sister-in-law, you are Brother's wife, so you should know his preferences best."
But Wei Yumeng looked troubled. "Precisely because I know him best, I don't know what to give. To express my feelings, I don't want my gift to be ordinary. I want something meaningful."
Zhan Yichen thought for a moment and then said, "How about the latest mobile phone? A limited edition watch, or a set of the newest VR equipment?"
Mu Linjing gave Zhan Yichen a speechless look. "These are probably what you want."
Zhan Yichen chuckled awkwardly.
Wei Yumeng said, "If the phone you're talking about is the latest iPhone 14, a limited edition Rolex watch, and the newest standalone VR device, the manufacturers personally delivered them yesterday." She suddenly remembered, "Oh, and he also asked me to tell you that if you like them, you can take them all sometime."
Zhan Yichen's eyes lit up. "Then I won't be polite."
Wei Yumeng's inquiries to Zhan Yichen and Mu Linjing were fruitless, so she decided to try Zhan Yangyi. She felt that Zhan Yangyi was similar to Zhan Mohan in some aspects and might be able to help.
"Give Mohan a gift?" Zhan Yangyi thought for a moment. "If you ask me, he'll like anything you give him."
Chen Yutong also nodded. "I think so too. For someone like Mohan who has everything, sincerity is indeed the most important thing."
Wei Yumeng was helpless. She knew sincerity was important, but she didn't want to be casual about choosing a gift. In the end, Wei Yumeng felt that no one's suggestion was helpful.
"Yumeng, what are you thinking about?" Zhan Mohan's voice suddenly came from beside her, startling Wei Yumeng.
"Nothing," Wei Yumeng replied awkwardly, as she wanted to surprise Zhan Mohan and didn't intend to tell him in advance. But would it be easier to directly ask him what he wanted?
"Mohan, is there anything you particularly want?" she finally asked.
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Not at the moment. Or rather, if you're willing to try for a third child, I'd be very willing."
Wei Yumeng's face turned red. "Aside from that, is there really nothing else?"
"Hmm, having you is enough," he replied.
This made Wei Yumeng even more frustrated, as the problem was not solved at all.
"Why do you ask?" Zhan Mohan naturally noticed Wei Yumeng's unusual demeanor.
Wei Yumeng merely waved her hand. "I was just asking casually."
But Zhan Mohan knew that Wei Yumeng wasn't just asking casually. However, it seemed she was preparing a surprise for him, so he would wait and see.
This question troubled Wei Yumeng for three days, and finally, she found inspiration through an auction advertisement. One of the items in this auction was a pair of antique bracelets, which once belonged to a loving royal couple from abroad. There was also a legend associated with these bracelets.
It was said that these bracelets were several hundred years old and had passed through many owners over the centuries. Each owner's marriage was very happy, as if a divine being blessed their relationship. Although Wei Yumeng was not superstitious, she also wished to live a happy life with Zhan Mohan forever. This meaning alone was enough to captivate Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng glanced at the auction time, which was a week later. No matter what, she had to bid for this item.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the steps and choose the correct seats according to your numbers." Staff members were directing guests to their seats.
Wei Yumeng had even chosen a seat at the front to get a closer look at her target. However, at this moment, she didn't notice that not far behind her, a pair of eyes were staring at her fiercely.
It was the popular actress Xi Yingxue, who had recently collaborated with Zhan Group. This happened when rumors about Wei Yumeng were flying everywhere. She had used the gossip as a cover to express her love for Zhan Mohan, but he had doused her with cold water. Today, she unexpectedly encountered Wei Yumeng at an auction, which she found quite unlucky. But since heaven had given her this opportunity, how could she let it go? She was determined to make Wei Yumeng regret it.
According to the auction navigation, the bracelets would be presented in the middle of the auction. Normally, if this item wasn't the finale, the chances of acquiring it wouldn't be low. Wei Yumeng had brought enough money, so it should be fine. Who knew that the preceding items would cause some twists and turns? By the time Wei Yumeng was drowsy, she finally waited for her target.
"This lot is the legendary Western bracelets. According to our investigation, the King of Country E and his Queen once owned them. Their love became a beautiful tale, making these bracelets a symbol of enduring affection." As the host introduced them, Wei Yumeng observed the other bidders. At first glance, not many people seemed interested in the bracelets, which gave Wei Yumeng more confidence.
"This item starts at 100,000. The auction begins!"
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand!"
Although there were quite a few people bidding sequentially, their price increases were generally small. Wei Yumeng planned to make her final bid at the last moment to secure the purchase.
"Two hundred thousand!"
"This gentleman bids two hundred thousand. Are there any other bids? Two hundred thousand once, two hundred thousand twice!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Wei Yumeng felt this price was within her expectations. If it exceeded 300,000, she would have to consider giving up.
"Three hundred thousand." Another female voice rang out from a seat not far behind Wei Yumeng. She turned her head and saw a woman dressed provocatively sitting there.
