Since this matter was not directly related to Catherine, Wei Yumeng felt relieved, but even so, she couldn't let her guard down.
Zhan Mohan told Wei Yumeng not to worry about it anymore and to focus her attention on their new home.
Although it was called a new home, the property wasn't exactly new. Zhan Mohan already owned many properties in the city, most of which were vacant.
According to Zhan Mohan, those were just houses; the place where Wei Yumeng and the children were was his home.
"Madam, Mr. Zhan said you've always wanted to live in a place with a good environment, so he chose this location. Behind the villa, there's a garden and an artificial lake. It's also closer to Feng's Group and the school," Fang Xun said as he showed Wei Yumeng around the house.
When Zhan Mohan bought this property, he knew Wei Yumeng would like it, but there hadn't been an opportunity to move in. Now, the fire had given them a reason to relocate.
However, Wei Yumeng was more concerned that while this location made things more convenient for her and the children, it made things more inconvenient for Zhan Mohan. The original location of their home was precisely in the middle of their respective destinations, but now it was completely biased towards them.
Zhan Mohan always took care of her and the children in such details, completely disregarding himself.
Fang Xun continued, "Mr. Zhan said you don't need to worry about him. Although the commute from here to the company is longer, the road conditions are better than before. If there's no traffic jam, it might even be faster to get to the company from here."
Wei Yumeng knew that these words might have been deliberately spoken by Zhan Mohan through Fang Xun to reassure her, but she didn't intend to argue. If she were to reject Zhan Mohan's kind intentions, it would likely displease him.
Wei Yumeng immersed herself in the move. With Fang Xun's help, the entire villa was completely ready in just a few days.
Looking at this new home, Wei Yumeng felt a mix of emotions. Although the new environment was good, she felt a little unaccustomed to it for a while. Fortunately, her family had never changed.
But even though everything before them seemed to have passed, the original incident had not.
Rumors about Zhan Mohan and Catherine online had never disappeared. Although some media had reported that on the day of the fire, Zhan Mohan, disregarding his own safety, rushed into the burning building to save Wei Yu, which was enough to prove how much they loved each other.
However, many netizens were still not convinced. These keyboard warriors never shied away from stirring up trouble, and they even involved more people online, demanding that Wei Yumeng leave Zhan Mohan and return him to Catherine.
"I think Wei Yumeng married him solely for his money. Zhan Mohan and Catherine are the true love."
"Wei Yumeng, withdraw from this marriage and return the marriage to its true love."
"This incident will make me even more careful when looking for a wife in the future."
Wei Yumeng repeatedly told herself not to pay attention to these people, but she couldn't help but see them occasionally. Every time she saw them, she felt a throbbing headache.
In reality, these onlookers were just seeking entertainment; what did they truly understand?
Zhan Mohan looked at the screen of Wei Yumeng's phone and snatched it away. "Stop looking at this. I'm already investigating this matter. Soon, I will let everyone see the truth. Trust me."
Wei Yumeng looked into Zhan Mohan's serious eyes and immediately felt at ease. She even felt that the power in Zhan Mohan's gaze seemed to be more impactful than before.
Wei Yumeng blushed slightly, but then she remembered that they were already an old married couple, and this felt somewhat inappropriate. She quickly tried to deflect the awkwardness.
"Of course, I trust you. Forget it, I won't look anymore. What happens between us doesn't need anyone else to judge. It means nothing to me."
For them, nothing was more important than seeing each other right before their eyes.
To bring this matter to a conclusion, Zhan Mohan had already thought of a way. As long as he could prove that Catherine had a boyfriend, the matter between them would naturally be resolved. However, Sydney had colluded with Catherine to plot against him before, and Zhan Mohan hadn't seen Sydney in recent days, which made things even more complicated.
If it were easy for President Gu to prove that he had dated Catherine, it would be fine, but that was not a current relationship and could not convince the onlookers. And Catherine was in prison. There was no reason for Catherine to stay and not leave because of Kai.
Therefore, at this point, he could only start with Sydney.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Sydney appeared at the company of his own accord.
"Mr. Zhan, Mr. Sydney is in the reception room and says he has something he wants to discuss with you."
Although Zhan Mohan couldn't be sure what Sydney's intentions were, he went to the meeting.
Upon seeing Zhan Mohan, Sydney quickly stood up. "Mr. Zhan, you've finally arrived."
Zhan Mohan simply nodded slightly at him as a greeting, remaining silent and looking coldly at Sydney.
Under Zhan Mohan's gaze, Sydney became restless, a large drop of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Well... Mr. Zhan, actually, I've come specifically to apologize to you for what happened before. I truly didn't know that Linlin would do such a thing."
As Sydney spoke, he bowed deeply to Zhan Mohan to express his apologies.
Zhan Mohan finally spoke, "You mean that incident wasn't your intention?"
Sydney explained, "Actually, before we made that agreement that day, Linlin suddenly came to my place. I originally intended to send her away early so as not to disturb our work. But who knew Mr. Zhan would arrive then, so I had no choice but to hide her in the room."
Zhan Mohan recalled that he and Sydney had been talking in the living room the whole time and had never gone into the room.
"When I went to get coffee, it was actually prepared by Linlin. I had no idea it was drugged. Later, you fell asleep, and I asked her what was going on. Only then did she tell me what she planned to do."
Zhan Mohan remained suspicious. "Then why didn't you stop her at the time?"
"I did try to stop her, but I was also drugged. It just took effect a bit slower. By the time I woke up, I was somewhere else."
Zhan Mohan looked at Sydney, still contemplating the credibility of his words.
However, so far, he hadn't found any loopholes in his story. If it were true, it would be easy. But he feared that this was all an act, which would mean this man was not simple.
