Compared to Wei Yumeng's current mood, Wen Xueshan's spirits were clearly much better, even adopting the attitude of a victor in her eyes.
Wei Yumeng, on the other hand, looked somewhat haggard because of this matter.
After all, no woman could accept such a thing.
"Ms. Wei, I'm actually here to see you today regarding the matter with President Zhan."
Wei Yumeng remained silent, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"First of all, I'm truly sorry for what happened before. We actually went to meet a business partner that day, and we drank a bit too much, so President Zhan had no choice but to take me to the hotel."
As Wen Xueshan spoke, she sighed, "My feelings for President Zhan haven't been just for a day or two. I originally had no intention of interfering in your marriage, but that night, we both had alcohol... and then..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yumeng could no longer sit still. Although she had prepared herself mentally for the possibility of hearing such a thing, it still struck her hard.
Her heart ached, almost to the point of death.
She stood up, "If you've only come to say this, you can leave now."
"No, it's not just this." As Wen Xueshan spoke, she actually knelt directly in front of Wei Yumeng, "Ms. Wei, I know our relationship is forbidden, and my actions are condemned by the world, but I love Mo Han. No matter what, my love for him will never change. So... so I hope you can give me a chance and let me have him, okay?"
"You're utterly shameless!" Wei Yumeng looked at Wen Xueshan, feeling even angrier.
"Or how about this? You just need to give me a chance. You continue to be Mrs. Zhan, and I only want to be with Mo Han. As long as I can be with Mo Han, I'm content, with or without a formal title."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yumeng slapped her directly.
Wei Yumeng truly couldn't listen anymore. She didn't know how shamelessly Wen Xueshan could stand there and say such things to her, the legal wife.
Wen Xueshan touched her cheek, which had been slapped, yet still insisted, "Ms. Wei, even if you hit me, I must say, I won't give up. I will continue with the project I'm cooperating on with President Zhan, and I will also..."
Wei Yumeng had shown considerable restraint, but Wen Xueshan continued to provoke her with such words.
Her hand rose again...
Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
"Stop!"
Hearing the voice, Wei Yumeng's body stiffened. How could Zhan Mohan have come here?
"Yumeng, what are you doing?" Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng, confused.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, then at Wen Xueshan, and suddenly understood.
Wen Xueshan had deliberately provoked her just now, so that Zhan Mohan would witness her hitting someone.
Wen Xueshan, still kneeling, shuffled a few steps closer to Zhan Mohan, "I'm sorry, President Zhan. I know Ms. Wei doesn't want our project to continue because of me, so I asked her out today to clarify things. I don't want personal grudges to affect the company. But I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
She began to cry, "I didn't expect Ms. Wei to still refuse and insist that we withdraw from the project. But this isn't something I can decide alone. I..."
Zhan Mohan reached out and grabbed Wei Yumeng's arm, "Come back with me, stop making a scene here!"
"I'm making a scene?" Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, finding him utterly unreasonable. "Mo Han, do you believe her more? If I told you that things are not what you just saw, nor what she said, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan hesitated for a moment, and it was this hesitation that chilled Wei Yumeng to the bone.
Compared to herself, Zhan Mohan actually believed Wen Xueshan more.
What was the meaning of their marriage of so many years?
"You don't need to answer. I already know the answer. Perhaps in your heart, I'm indeed no longer as important as her."
Wei Yumeng spoke, then turned to leave.
Zhan Mohan could only reach out and stop her. He didn't disbelieve Wei Yumeng; he was just thinking about Wen Xueshan's motives for acting that way.
"Let go of me!" Wei Yumeng's voice grew colder.
Zhan Mohan had no choice but to pick her up entirely and carry her out.
Wen Xueshan watched their departing backs, a sinister smile appearing on her face.
Today's events were indeed deliberately orchestrated by her. She had arranged to meet Wei Yumeng at the same time that Zhan Mohan would appear.
As long as she timed it right, she could make Zhan Mohan see her being slapped.
If she had claimed this was about their romantic relationship, Zhan Mohan wouldn't have fallen for her ploy.
But if she brought the project into it, it would be different.
She knew how much Zhan Mohan cared about this project, and he disliked mixing personal grudges with work.
This would naturally make Zhan Mohan resent Wei Yumeng, and wasn't that exactly what she wanted – to see a rift appear in their relationship?
Wen Xueshan knew that if she continued like this, she would soon win.
Wei Yumeng was practically dragged home by Zhan Mohan.
As soon as they arrived home, Wei Yumeng pushed Zhan Mohan away, "What else do you want? I've already left a divorce agreement for you. As long as you sign it, we'll have nothing to do with each other. You can continue to be with Wen Xueshan, and I won't interfere with your relationship!"
"Yumeng, can you calm down and listen to me?"
"Calm down! You only tell me to calm down! Have you done anything that would make me calm?" The more Wei Yumeng thought about it, the angrier she became.
Although Zhan Mohan wanted to explain, Wei Yumeng refused to listen.
"What do you want me to do?"
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment, then said to Zhan Mohan, "It's simple. Two choices. One is to give up the cooperation with Wen Xueshan and never see her again. The other choice is to sign the divorce agreement. You go your way, I go mine, and we'll have no further contact."
Initially, Wei Yumeng had held a sliver of hope, but now she had completely given up.
Wen Xueshan's words had wounded her.
Zhan Mohan's lack of trust in her had also wounded her.
Now, she only wanted to leave Zhan Mohan, to leave this person who hurt her so deeply.
Zhan Mohan was also angry at the moment. He couldn't understand what was wrong with Wei Yumeng, why she had become so unreasonable. She hadn't been like this before.
Wei Yumeng didn't want to wait any longer. "Hurry up and choose. I don't want to continue suffering."
