When Wei Yumeng found Mu Linjing, she discovered that things had become even more complicated.
It turned out that several reporters had deliberately staked out the Feng Corporation after leaving Wei Yumeng's home.
Since they couldn't get any useful information from Wei Yumeng, they could only try their luck at the Feng Corporation, hoping to uncover some big news from Catherine's perspective.
As expected, they discovered Mu Linjing's sudden appearance. Although they saw Mu Linjing arrive with Wei Yumeng, Wei Yumeng immediately began working upon reaching the company, so the reporters couldn't possibly infiltrate that far.
However, it was different for Mu Linjing and Catherine.
Catherine's reputation was already notorious within the Feng Corporation. Therefore, as an employee, even if she heard sounds of a fight from Catherine's office, she wouldn't pay much attention. But weren't these reporters precisely waiting for such a moment of escalating conflict?
Just as Mu Linjing and Catherine were having a heated argument, several reporters rushed in, capturing the scene at that very moment.
"Miss, I saw you arrive with Wei Yumeng just now, so are you friends?"
"Are you deliberately causing trouble for Miss Catherine? Because she interfered with Wei Yumeng's family."
Catherine seized the opportunity and said to the media, "It was she who suddenly barged into my office, claiming to settle accounts. But as you all know, emotions cannot be forced. Zhan Mohan and I are truly in love; why won't you fulfill our wishes?"
Hearing this, Mu Linjing became even more furious. "You slut, do you want me to reveal everything you've done to the media, so the whole world knows what kind of person you are?"
Wei Yumeng had just arrived and witnessed this scene. Although she was grateful that Mu Linjing was standing up for her, the current situation had undoubtedly worsened.
Several reporters immediately spotted Wei Yumeng and seized the opportunity to drag her into the fray.
Catherine looked at Wei Yumeng and started crying. "Madam Wei, I know you don't like me, and you even deliberately arranged this kind of office for me. But Zhan Mohan and I are truly in love; please, fulfill our wishes."
As she spoke, Catherine even knelt before Wei Yumeng and grabbed her trouser leg, begging.
The reporters present captured this scene.
Before Wei Yumeng could speak, Mu Linjing stepped forward and pulled Catherine up.
"You are truly disgusting. Fine, today I will let everyone see what kind of person you are." Mu Linjing took a deep breath and said, "Since you reporters are so eager for a scoop, I'll tell you today. Perhaps you don't know that Catherine has a boyfriend named Kai. Before this incident, Catherine did something illegal that endangered Wei Yumeng's life. Her boyfriend Kai took the blame for her to protect her."
Mu Linjing's words drove the reporters into a frenzy. They never expected to unearth such sensational news.
"Perhaps you only see the rumors between this woman and Zhan Mohan now, but there's something else you don't know. Before this, Catherine sold herself to Mr. Gu for a project. You can go and confirm this with Mr. Gu as well."
"You're spouting nonsense! Why are you slandering me like this?" Catherine was genuinely surprised that Mu Linjing knew so much.
Wei Yumeng looked coldly at Catherine. "We're slandering you? Perhaps I can call Mr. Gu right now and ask if this is true."
Catherine clenched her fist. Mr. Gu might have sided with her before, but their relationship had already soured, so Mr. Gu naturally had no reason to protect her anymore.
Just as Wei Yumeng was about to make the call, Catherine suddenly stood up and knocked her phone away.
"Wei Yumeng, I know you hate me, so you've conspired with your best friend to slander me in front of these reporters. But no matter how you target me, I won't give up. Everyone has the right to pursue their true love. Even if you are his wife, what does it matter? He doesn't love you anymore."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng couldn't help herself and slapped Catherine across the face.
However, after being hit, Catherine became even more resolute. "Even if you hit me, I will still say it. You are just unwilling to accept the truth now, but you will have to face it one day."
"Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!" Wei Yumeng shouted at Catherine. "Do you really think being a third party is something glorious? Are you so proud of destroying someone's family?"
Wei Yumeng's words undoubtedly implied to others that she knew about the affair between Zhan Mohan and Catherine.
But as Wei Yumeng spoke, she realized something was wrong. She knew there was nothing between Zhan Mohan and Catherine; she had only said that because she couldn't stand Catherine's demeanor.
Catherine cried, "I didn't mean to, but when feelings arise, who can control themselves? I'm just striving for true love."
"Shut up!" Mu Linjing couldn't take it anymore. "What true love? Isn't this all just your scheme?"
At this moment, a deep voice boomed, "What is going on here? Who allowed them in? Wu Yi, find out their identities. I will send them a lawyer's letter on behalf of the Feng Corporation."
"Yes, Former President."
Wu Yi had been observing the situation and, upon realizing Wei Yumeng was also involved, had no choice but to ask for help to control the situation.
Former President Yu Hua was furious at the scene. If Wu Yi hadn't come to find him, this old man who didn't pay attention to gossip wouldn't have known about it at all.
Although the reporters were still persistent, the Feng Corporation's security guards dragged them out one by one.
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing shot Catherine a glare and left immediately.
"Uncle Qian."
Catherine was about to explain something to Qian Yuhua, but he showed no intention of speaking to her, simply following Wei Yumeng away.
"This is infuriating!" Mu Linjing said as they walked, "That woman is truly shameless."
Wei Yumeng, however, felt that the incident just now was rather unsettling. Even if they sent lawyer's letters to those reporters, would they refrain from reporting on today's events? That was not certain.
She was starting to regret her impulsiveness; now they had truly been photographed by the media doing something scandalous.
But it concerned her family and touched her bottom line, so how could she remain calm?
