The atmosphere in the hospital room grew more tense, with Chen Yutong and Wei Yumeng almost at each other's throats.
Initially, they both knew that Chen Yutong had just gone through a difficult experience, and some friction was inevitable.
However, Chen Yutong could not tolerate being accused by them; this was no longer just a personal feud between the two women, but an internal matter of the Zhan family.
Therefore, she felt it necessary to clarify the situation.
At this point, Mu Linjing naturally sided with Wei Yumeng.
"Because you are Big Brother's wife, I call you sister-in-law along with Yumeng. I hope you won't disappoint us at this time," Mu Linjing also made a stern statement. "I believe if Big Brother saw you like this, he would be the most disappointed person."
But Chen Yutong showed no intention of backing down. "Heh, don't try to threaten me with Yangyi. Our matters don't need others to interfere, and I believe he will still stand by me once he understands everything."
"You're simply unreasonable!" Mu Linjing truly didn't want to stay any longer.
Just as she was about to take Wei Yumeng's hand to leave, she bumped into someone.
Chen Yutong also froze, "Yangyi, you're back so soon?"
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing also looked at Zhan Yangyi. They both felt that something bad had happened, and had no idea how long Zhan Yangyi had been back or if he had heard their conversation.
However, neither of them spoke, merely taking a step back as a matter of courtesy.
Zhan Yangyi's face was full of anger. In reality, he hadn't gone out to buy anything.
Precisely because he was so worried about Chen Yutong, he had chosen to stay behind. But he had not expected to overhear what Chen Yutong was saying to Wei Yumeng and the others.
He had initially thought that Chen Yutong's nervousness at the bar that day was because she still had feelings for him. But now, he could no longer tell if Chen Yutong was pretending or being genuine.
Zhan Yangyi's gaze towards Chen Yutong turned icy, startling her.
"Yangyi, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Chen Yutong sounded a little scared.
Zhan Yangyi's eyes were filled with pain, yet also with reluctance.
But at this point, what could he do? What could he possibly do?
Wei Yumeng also felt that things were not looking good. Zhan Yangyi's expression clearly indicated he had heard Chen Yutong's words just now.
"Big Brother, please calm down. Sister-in-law just lost the baby, so her temper is a bit bad. We didn't take it to heart."
Although Mu Linjing was still angry, she also felt that this incident shouldn't affect the relationship between the couple, so she chimed in, "Yes, Big Brother, you can talk things over with Sister-in-law. What big problems could there be between a married couple?"
"Stop talking. I have already made my decision." Zhan Yangyi's voice remained cold. He looked at Chen Yutong again. "Yutong... let's get a divorce."
"What?" Chen Yutong's body jolted. Her mind went blank, and after a wave of dizziness, she lost consciousness.
Chen Yutong didn't know how long she slept. She only vaguely heard someone speaking.
"Big Brother, are you really planning to go through with it?" Wei Yumeng still couldn't quite believe it.
Zhan Yangyi looked at Chen Yutong on the hospital bed, his voice devoid of any emotion. "I have already decided."
Even in her sleep, tears streamed down Chen Yutong's face.
When she woke up, only Wei Yumeng was left in the room.
Mu Linjing was still upset with Chen Yutong and naturally didn't want to stay any longer.
Zhan Yangyi's emotions were also unstable at the moment. Wei Yumeng had managed to find Zhan Mohan to take him away, and had instructed Zhan Mohan to try and persuade Zhan Yangyi, suggesting that a divorce might not be the only option.
"You're finally awake." Seeing Chen Yutong wake up, Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. "The doctor said you are not in good health right now, and the shock caused you to faint."
Chen Yutong didn't speak, her face still pale.
"Is Yangyi... still here?" she couldn't help but ask.
Wei Yumeng also felt a pang of sadness. At this moment, Chen Yutong must have wanted to see Zhan Yangyi the most, not her.
But Zhan Yangyi was not here.
"Big Brother had some urgent work matters to attend to, so he had to leave," Wei Yumeng could only say.
Chen Yutong gave a bitter smile. "You don't need to hide it from me. He never intended to stay, did he?"
Wei Yumeng remained silent. She didn't know how to comfort Chen Yutong.
"Heh heh..." Chen Yutong laughed, but her laughter was tinged with tears. "He still blames me, doesn't he? Blames me for losing our child."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng felt a sense of speechless helplessness.
Even she could see that Zhan Yangyi's concern was not about the child itself, but about Chen Yutong's attitude. Yet, Chen Yutong was completely consumed by the grief of losing her child, unable to see the reality before her.
But Wei Yumeng couldn't help Chen Yutong see things clearly right now. If she directly pointed it out, it would probably only lead to another heated argument with Chen Yutong.
So, she could only remain silent, keeping her company, hoping that Zhan Mohan would make some progress.
Zhan Yangyi was almost dragged out of the hospital by Fang Xun and a few bodyguards. He had originally intended to finalize the divorce with Chen Yutong after she woke up, thus ending the matter.
"Let go of me!" Zhan Yangyi's face was full of fury.
Only when Fang Xun saw that they had left the hospital did he release him.
"Mohan, what do you mean by this?"
Zhan Mohan stopped and turned to look at Zhan Yangyi. "Big Brother, I hope you will think clearly before making a decision."
"I've already thought very clearly," Zhan Yangyi said, clenching his fists.
If there was no other way, he wouldn't want to reach this point with Chen Yutong. Not long ago, he had still planned to live a loving life with her.
But Chen Yutong's behavior had truly disappointed him.
He had believed Chen Yutong when she refused Zhan Yichen's compensation, thinking she wasn't after money.
Yet, he had still overheard Chen Yutong's words to Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing. She was still stubbornly misguided.
He could no longer tolerate Chen Yutong's willfulness and unreasonableness. He even believed that their core values had diverged significantly. Even if they tried to force the relationship to continue, another fight, or even more, would only be a matter of time.
Zhan Mohan looked at the pensive Zhan Yangyi, knowing that his brother's heart was filled with more reluctance. Proposing divorce was not easy for Zhan Yangyi either.
So, even if it were only for Zhan Yangyi's sake, he hoped his brother would carefully consider the matter, as once the decision was made, there would likely be no turning back.
