Even though Wei Yumeng left Zhan Yangyi, she remained preoccupied.
She even wondered if she should cut ties with Chen Yutong altogether.
Moreover, the fact that Chen Yutong would try to use her meant she really needed to reconsider her opinion of Chen Yutong.
Regardless, Wei Yumeng still felt a pang of sadness. If possible, she still hoped to maintain her friendship with Chen Yutong. After all, they shared many similarities and interests, and sometimes she even felt more in sync with Chen Yutong than with Mu Linjing.
But given the current situation, she had to choose her family over her friends.
However, Chen Yutong hadn't done anything outrageous yet, so Wei Yumeng naturally couldn't do anything either. She could only wait and see how things would unfold.
After what had happened, how could Chen Yutong possibly settle down? Although she felt a little better after confiding in Wei Yumeng, she had no intention of giving up on Zhan Yangyi.
Early in the morning, she contacted a private investigator and commissioned him to investigate Geng Sitian's background. The investigator was highly capable and soon delivered the information to her.
"Heh, I thought she was someone special. Turns out she's just an ordinary person. In terms of background and status, how could she possibly compare to me?"
Chen Yutong sneered disdainfully as she looked at the documents. She truly looked down on Geng Sitian.
But soon, Geng Sitian's innocent face and younger appearance flashed in her mind, igniting a fresh wave of jealousy.
"Geng Sitian, since you want to steal my man, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chen Yutong clenched her fist, a sinister expression on her face as she looked at herself in the mirror.
She opened her Weibo account, which she hadn't used in a while. This was the account she used as the supermodel Chen Yutong during her working days, and she hadn't posted any major news on it for a long time.
Now that she was back in the spotlight, her popularity had declined significantly.
She could use this opportunity to catapult herself into the center of public attention and create a sensation, which could also serve as a weapon against Geng Sitian. It was killing two birds with one stone.
She let out a cold laugh and posted a Weibo update about her divorce.
Within an hour, news of Chen Yutong's divorce had spread across the internet.
Since Chen Yutong had previously refused to divorce Zhan Yangyi, she had never announced the matter. Now, it became a bombshell.
"Oh my god, why did our goddess get divorced? It's so sudden."
"Exactly. When they first announced their marriage, I thought they would be very happy."
"What was the reason?"
More and more people in the comments section were curious about what had led to this outcome.
However, Chen Yutong deliberately avoided replying for the entire day, waiting until the next. Her silence only served to further pique the interest of her fans.
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Yutong posted another announcement.
"I apologize for disturbing everyone's rest. I am deeply sorry to share this sad news. During my time with Mr. Zhan, we genuinely cared for each other, and I always believed we could be happy together forever. But fantasies are always beautiful, and reality is cruel. An accident occurred in our marriage, and I am heartbroken. I had to make this decision. But no matter what, I wish my Mr. Zhan happiness."
As soon as this Weibo post was published, it was reposted and commented on by various media outlets.
Although Chen Yutong did not directly state what had happened between her and Zhan Yangyi in the Weibo post, she implied that an accident had occurred between them.
And that accident was likely a third party, a conclusion that most people on the internet readily accepted.
Suddenly, more media outlets contacted Chen Yutong, hoping she would elaborate on her relationship.
However, Chen Yutong always refused interviews, citing her reluctance to hurt others.
Until a so-called insider suddenly left a comment on a certain platform.
"I am an employee of a subsidiary of Zhan Group. I have some thoughts on this matter. Our boss is Zhan Yangyi, Chen Yutong's ex-husband. He has a new assistant by his side whose background is unknown, and I even heard her family isn't well-off. Initially, we were all surprised how someone like her could become the assistant to the CEO of Zhan Group. Now, it seems the situation is not as simple as it appears."
Perhaps because affairs between assistants and bosses are not uncommon, netizens quickly accepted this idea.
They all believed that the accident that occurred between Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi was Zhan Yangyi's assistant, Geng Sitian.
Geng Sitian rarely paid attention to online public opinion. It wasn't until one day that she saw a headline news item that was about her.
"Who is Geng Sitian? And how did she become the third party?"
Such a title made her slightly stunned. She never thought that someone like her would one day become the object of everyone's attention.
But as she read the content of the article, she couldn't help but believe it was about her.
"How could this happen?" Geng Sitian's hands trembled as she held her phone.
Putting aside the content of the article, the comments beneath it were all negative. Everyone was accusing her of interfering in someone else's marriage and becoming a detestable third party.
"I didn't... I'm not..." Geng Sitian felt overwhelmed with injustice. She had no idea what had happened to put her in this situation.
That day, Geng Sitian did not go to work, nor did she inform Zhan Yangyi.
Zhan Yangyi glanced at the time and frowned. He didn't believe Geng Sitian would be so bold as to skip work publicly.
He first tried calling Geng Sitian, but there was no answer, which made him even more worried.
But he quickly realized, it was just an assistant not coming to work, why was he so worried?
This thought confused Zhan Yangyi himself, but the feeling in his heart was real, which forced him to acknowledge his true emotions.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window, Geng Sitian's face appearing in his mind.
He had to admit that he had developed feelings for Geng Sitian, but thinking carefully, it was merely a liking.
Zhan Yangyi still left his office and went to the HR department to find Geng Sitian's home address, intending to check on her personally.
When Zhan Yangyi arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, he noticed that it resembled the one Chen Yutong had stayed in when she ran away from home, looking like an old building from many years ago.
At that time, he had felt heartbroken that Chen Yutong was living in such a place, but for a girl like Geng Sitian, she had always lived in such a humble environment.
