When Wei Yumeng woke up, Zhan Mohan was already gone. It was the first time Zhan Mohan had gone to work so early, but Wei Yumeng understood that Zhan Mohan probably couldn't wait to get rid of those videos.
Zhan Mohan arrived at the company and first used public relations to deal with all the videos. Immediately afterward, he had the technical department track down the person who first released the videos based on existing network data. Some things couldn't just be brushed aside as if they never happened.
"Mr. Zhan, we've found them."
The earliest IP address was traced back to the Lu family.
Zhan Mohan sneered. He wasn't surprised that the Lu family would do something like this, especially since the two families had just had a conflict.
"It's indeed time for the Lu family to go bankrupt."
It was clear that Mrs. Lu hadn't bothered to cover her tracks when she did all this. She hadn't even considered that someone could find her based on a single video.
Mrs. Lu certainly didn't expect her husband to return home looking so exhausted after only half a day at work. He looked utterly disheveled, a stark contrast to the confident man who had left that morning.
"Darling, what's wrong? Why are you back so early?"
"Don't even mention it. The company just had a major crisis. All the investments from the bank have been frozen, and the shareholders, for reasons unknown, are all demanding to withdraw their shares. I can't stop them."
Mrs. Lu couldn't quite believe it. "How could this happen? This is so strange. Everything was fine yesterday."
"Exactly. And now, the company is so fragmented by the shareholders that it's unlikely to continue."
Mrs. Lu watched her husband cover his face with exhaustion, looking utterly heartbroken. In just one morning, so much had happened.
She couldn't understand why heaven was treating her family this way.
"Is there really no way?"
Mr. Lu shook his head. "We don't even have any shareholders left. What can we do? Unless we can afford to take on all the shares ourselves, but the bank has already frozen our funds."
Mrs. Lu still found it hard to believe. If their family truly went bankrupt, wouldn't that mean the end of her glamorous life?
Her first instinct was to return to her room and start packing.
"What are you doing?"
Mrs. Lu glanced at her husband. "The reason I married you was because of your background and family status. Now that things have turned out this way, let's get a divorce."
Mr. Lu looked at her in disbelief. "You married me for that?"
Mr. Lu had always thought that Mrs. Lu truly loved him, but now it seemed he was the only one who thought so.
"Fine, if that's the case, then let's divorce. You can take the child with you."
He was heartbroken. If she couldn't stay in such a home, why should he keep her?
Mrs. Lu didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her actions. She merely snorted disdainfully at her husband and walked out.
When Zhan Mohan learned of the Lu family's situation, he found it amusing. It turned out this was just a family built on profit.
His original target was Mrs. Lu. Now that she was gone, Zhan Mohan saw no reason to continue targeting the Lu family. After all, he had a relatively good impression of Mr. Lu as a rare honest businessman.
However, perhaps it was precisely because he was too honest that the family atmosphere was so chaotic due to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu never expected that just two days after she left home, the Lu family's situation would improve. All funds and shares had returned to normal. She had been living separately with her child for two days, and today she was supposed to meet Mr. Lu to finalize their divorce.
She was already regretting her actions, feeling that she had been too impulsive. She understood Mr. Lu's capabilities perfectly well, yet she chose to betray him over such a minor issue.
She arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place, and her husband was already there.
"Darling, can we not get a divorce?" Mrs. Lu pleaded in a rare, submissive tone.
But now, only coldness remained in Mr. Lu's eyes. "Because the company situation has improved? So now you want to come back and be Mrs. Lu again?"
"I know I was wrong. I'm willing to change. Please give me another chance," she pleaded, grabbing her husband's sleeve.
She truly regretted her previous decision.
"A chance?" Mr. Lu no longer wanted to see her face. "Did you give me a chance when you said you wanted a divorce? Ask yourself, how have I treated you all these years?"
Mrs. Lu refused to give up, tears streaming down her face. "Darling, I love you. What I said that day was just out of anger. I never thought of leaving you. I really need you."
"I suspect you need my money."
Mrs. Lu bit her lower lip, feeling even more heartbroken. She knew her husband had lost all trust in her.
Mr. Lu no longer wanted to see her in that state. He simply said, "Let's go. Let's make it quick. I have a meeting with Mr. Zhan shortly."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu froze. She suddenly understood what was going on.
The company's instability was likely orchestrated by Zhan Mohan. Because she had released those videos, Zhan Mohan had found their family.
It turned out that she was the cause of everything. If she hadn't done those things, the company wouldn't have had problems, she wouldn't have left home in anger, and she wouldn't be in this situation now.
Perhaps only after losing everything did she realize that all her previous pride and arrogance stemmed from her husband. Without him, how could she have felt so proud of her status, and how could she have been so spoiled?
But now she had nothing. She had returned to being an ordinary person, and she was unwilling to continue like this.
Before Mr. Lu could react, she turned and fled. As long as the divorce wasn't finalized, there was still a chance.
Now, perhaps only the Zhan family could help her salvage this.
Meanwhile, Wei Yumeng was with Mu Linjing.
Although the videos had been removed from various media outlets, the rumors had never stopped. Recently, reporters even tried to get firsthand information, deliberately harassing Wei Yumeng.
Zhan Mohan was furious when he found out, but he knew there was no way to silence the public outcry.
So, he simply had Mu Linjing take Wei Yumeng away to relax for a while until the heat died down. After all, while the rumors seemed harmless, some words could be incredibly piercing.
