Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong calmed Wei Yumeng down and stayed with her for a long time until she looked a little better before they left.
The thought of Wei Yumeng's haggard appearance made Zhan Yangyi feel a pang of sympathy in his heart, though it was unrelated to any romantic feelings.
In his eyes, Wei Yumeng had always appeared strong and brave, no matter what she faced. He even had a fleeting illusion that she could become someone remarkable even on her own.
However, Wei Yumeng's current state was such a stark contrast to her usual self. It served as a reminder that she was, after all, just an ordinary woman.
As they walked, Chen Yutong asked Zhan Yangyi, "Yangyi, what do you plan to do about this?"
"I'll find an excuse to meet Mo Han tonight and try to talk some sense into him."
Chen Yutong pondered for a moment. "Why don't you let me go with you?"
Zhan Yangyi waved his hand. "It's better for me to handle this alone."
But Chen Yutong didn't give up. "Yangyi, this was originally a matter between them as a couple. Perhaps if I'm there, seeing us as a couple might remind him of Yumeng."
Hearing Chen Yutong's words, Zhan Yangyi considered the matter carefully and finally nodded. "Alright, then you'll come with me tonight."
Indeed, when Zhan Yangyi invited Zhan Mohan out, the latter did not refuse. By the time Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong arrived at the bar, Zhan Mohan was already there.
From his appearance, it was evident he had already consumed quite a bit of alcohol.
Zhan Yangyi, displeased, snatched the wine glass from Zhan Mohan's hand. "That's enough. Stop drinking. I didn't invite you out to drink. I know you're upset, but drinking won't solve anything."
As he spoke, Zhan Yangyi ordered drinks for himself and Chen Yutong.
Zhan Mohan glanced at Zhan Yangyi faintly upon hearing this.
Zhan Yangyi felt a bit awkward. This was a bar he frequented, and he had indeed drowned his sorrows here when he had a falling out with Chen Yutong before.
Zhan Yangyi coughed awkwardly.
Chen Yutong said softly to Zhan Mohan, "You and Yumeng have been together for so long, and you have two children. Is there anything that can't be resolved through talking? Perhaps you just need to have a good conversation."
"Communication?" Zhan Mohan let out a sarcastic laugh. "She had an improper relationship with another man. Do you think something like that can be solved through communication?"
Hearing this, Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong exchanged glances. They had only known there was some misunderstanding between the couple, but they hadn't realized the situation was so dire.
Zhan Yangyi was genuinely worried for Zhan Mohan. However, Chen Yutong felt differently.
Although she had been living a stable life with Zhan Yangyi, some things remained unchanged.
For instance, she still harbored lingering feelings for Zhan Mohan.
She had intentionally let everyone believe that she had genuinely recognized her mistakes and turned back to Zhan Yangyi.
In reality, her feelings for Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Mohan had been confused at the time. However, the intervening period had allowed her to calm down and clarify her true desires.
And this conflict between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng presented a perfect opportunity for her.
Coupled with her current harmonious relationship with Zhan Yangyi, it was highly unlikely that anyone would suspect her involvement once events unfolded.
Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Mohan were unaware of Chen Yutong's thoughts.
Although Zhan Mohan was drunk, he managed to recount the events relatively clearly.
After listening, Zhan Yangyi couldn't believe that Wei Yumeng would do such a thing.
Furthermore, Zhan Mohan's belief that Wei Yumeng had an affair with Chai Yanyu stemmed from Chai Yanyu's words, while Wei Yumeng consistently denied it.
"Mohan, I think you should listen to Yumeng. Compared to that Chai Yanyu, isn't Wei Yumeng the person you should trust the most?"
Zhan Yangyi couldn't understand why Zhan Mohan couldn't grasp such a simple logic at this moment.
Chen Yutong also chimed in, "I think Yangyi's words make sense. Mohan, this is a matter between the two of you. Just hiding away won't solve anything."
"For example, if we hadn't clarified everything back then, we wouldn't have the happy life we have now," Zhan Yangyi said, using his and Chen Yutong's past as an example.
Zhan Mohan looked at the two of them and began to seriously consider their words.
The reason he wasn't seeing Wei Yumeng was that he didn't know how to face her. The moment he recalled the situation, the thought of Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu spending the night in the same room made him unable to control his emotions.
"How about this, Mohan? If you feel you can't face this alone, I'm willing to go back with you. Let's clear things up, what do you say?" Zhan Yangyi suggested.
But Zhan Mohan waved his hand. This was a family matter, and Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong had already helped to a great extent. They shouldn't be dragged further into it.
"Brother, give me some time. I'll think about it carefully."
Zhan Yangyi sighed. "Alright, since you say so, we won't interfere further. However, I still hope you can resolve this rationally."
Zhan Mohan nodded and took another sip of wine.
Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong couldn't help but worry on their way home.
Chen Yutong watched Zhan Yangyi pace back and forth in the room and said helplessly, "Alright, you haven't stopped pacing since we got back. Since we've agreed to let them handle this themselves, you shouldn't worry about it anymore."
Only then did Zhan Yangyi stop and look at Chen Yutong. "I have a feeling Mohan will go back to see Yumeng, but for some reason, my heart feels uneasy, as if this matter won't end so easily."
"Is it because of that Chai Yanyu?"
Zhan Yangyi shook his head. "I don't know. I just have a very strong premonition that something is not right."
"I think you're just worrying unnecessarily. Why are you so inclined to fret now?" Chen Yutong said, pushing Zhan Yangyi back into the room.
After some time, Chen Yutong cautiously emerged from the room.
She had finally managed to coax Zhan Yangyi to sleep, giving her the time to put her plan into action.
Chen Yutong opened her phone and saw her agent's name.
She had used her marriage as an excuse and hadn't worked for a while, so she hadn't been in contact with her agent.
She dialed the number, and her agent seemed surprised to receive her call.
Chen Yutong cut to the chase. "I need you to do something for me..."
