Although Wei Yumeng had not originally intended to settle accounts here, since things had already escalated to this point, she no longer needed to hold back.
"Fine, if you do that, I can do the same. If the shareholders find out what you've done, what do you think the outcome will be?"
Wei Yumeng was not afraid at all. Did she not know how many things Catherine had done? As long as she exposed one, Catherine's current position would be untenable.
After all, these shareholders were different from the police; as long as there were rumors and witnesses, it would be enough.
"Wei Yumeng, you're so cruel. Aren't you just holding a grudge over Mr. Wang's matter? That's why you're treating me like this?"
Catherine suddenly changed her tune, making herself appear as the victim.
Mu Linjing, upon hearing this, desperately wanted to step forward and slap Catherine. Catherine had admitted everything was intentional before, and now she was twisting the story.
It turned out that some people had already heard about the situation here and came to watch the commotion, including Zhao Li and Qian Yuhua.
Qian Yuhua was still confused: "What exactly is going on?"
Catherine deliberately put on a pitiful act and said to Qian Yuhua, "Uncle Qian, this is what happened. I just asked her to deliver a document to Mr. Wang earlier, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be that kind of person. He almost got Yu Meng into trouble. But I already apologized just now, and I clearly didn't do it on purpose."
Qian Yuhua then understood what was happening at Baiyu Media. Besides Zhan Mohan, no one else could have such power.
He didn't directly believe Catherine's words. Instead, he turned to Wei Yumeng and asked, "Yumeng, what exactly happened?"
Before Wei Yumeng could speak, Mu Linjing spoke first.
"Not a single word she says is true. From start to finish, that incident was intentional on her part. I heard her admit it herself just now. If you don't believe me, you can ask her assistant standing beside her."
Wei Yumeng felt helpless. Wu Yi was originally Catherine's person; how could she speak in their favor?
As expected, Wu Yi answered without thinking, "Mr. Qian, Miss Catherine's words are true. I was present at the time, and I can guarantee it."
Mu Linjing almost jumped up: "How can you lie with your eyes open?"
But Wu Yi's tone remained calm: "I am not lying; I am telling the truth."
Qian Yuhua frowned. In fact, because of previous incidents, he no longer trusted Catherine as much. Therefore, even with any further proof, he believed Wei Yumeng in his heart.
However, in front of so many people, he had to make a ruling.
Both Wei Yumeng and Catherine were the main pillars of the company. No matter which side the final decision leaned towards, it would have a significant impact on the company.
Zhao Li stepped forward and said, "Ultimately, this matter is because of that Mr. Wang. If he hadn't been lustful, how could so many things have happened? Moreover, he has already paid the price for his actions, so this matter should theoretically be over, right?"
Zhao Li looked at Qian Yuhua. Qian Yuhua knew that Zhao Li was deliberately shifting the blame back to Mr. Wang to help resolve the situation.
So, he had no choice but to agree, saying, "Mr. Zhao's words have merit. Regardless of what exactly happened, the person who should be punished has already been apprehended. You should stop arguing about this."
Mu Linjing felt indignant: "How can this be? This matter is completely..."
Before she could finish, Wei Yumeng covered her mouth. Wei Yumeng shook her head at Mu Linjing, signaling her to stop.
"I apologize for causing you trouble," Wei Yumeng said, bowing to the others.
Qian Yuhua sighed: "It's nothing. As long as you are alright, that's all that matters."
After that, the others gradually left.
Catherine only assumed that everyone else believed her, which was why nothing happened in the end. She then looked at Wei Yumeng with an arrogant expression.
Mu Linjing glared at her: "What are you so proud of?"
Wei Yumeng stepped forward, blocking Mu Linjing behind her, and looked coldly at Catherine.
"Catherine, I hope you haven't forgotten how many of your weaknesses I still hold. Although today's matter is over, if you repeatedly cause trouble, don't blame me for not being polite."
After speaking, Wei Yumeng grabbed Mu Linjing's hand and turned to leave.
Catherine watched Wei Yumeng's retreating back, getting even more furious.
Wei Yumeng dared to threaten her with past events. How could she back down? She hated being threatened the most.
"Wei Yumeng! Just you wait, I will definitely make your life difficult!"
It was only upon returning to the office that Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. She had no psychological preparation for such a major incident to occur as soon as she returned to the company.
Mu Linjing looked at Wei Yumeng, her face full of worry: "Yumeng, I think you shouldn't stay here any longer. That woman is too dangerous. Although she didn't succeed this time, there's no guarantee there won't be a next time."
Wei Yumeng looked at Mu Linjing helplessly: "I know you're worried about me, but I promised Uncle Feng and Mrs. Song about this. Besides..." Besides, they were Wei Yumeng's biological parents.
Wei Yumeng still couldn't say it. For now, she didn't know how to tell Mu Linjing about this.
"In short, I at least need to wait until they are discharged from the hospital before I can leave with peace of mind."
Although Mu Linjing still didn't understand why Wei Yumeng had to go to such lengths, she understood very well that since Wei Yumeng was so determined, no one could persuade her otherwise.
"Okay, I know you're stubborn. But you still need to be careful. I don't want to lose a good friend like you."
As Mu Linjing spoke, she hugged Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not that weak. Since she dared to bully me, I will naturally retaliate appropriately. Just as I said, I have many of her weaknesses in my hands."
"Yes, yes, and you also have an omnipotent husband who supports you everywhere. Anyone who provokes you will end up like that Mr. Wang."
Wei Yumeng was amused by Mu Linjing's words, as if Zhan Mohan was so domineering that anyone he disliked would be doomed.
Perhaps because of the morning's events, Catherine didn't bother Wei Yumeng for the rest of the day.
Mu Linjing had initially planned to confront Catherine head-on and make her utterly ashamed if she dared to show up, but nothing of the sort happened.
Catherine merely looked at Mu Linjing and felt her mood lift. Having such a good friend, she was already very content.
