As Jing Yan prepared to leave, a trace of worry remained in his heart. However, he had already done and said everything he needed to. Now, it was up to Zhan Mohan himself to decide what to do.
Since Zhan Mohan hadn't fully risen, Wei Yumeng personally escorted him to the door.
"Madam, please rest assured, President Zhan's physical condition is not a major concern."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, but..."
Wei Yumeng paused, causing Jing Yan's heart to tighten. Although he felt Wei Yumeng couldn't possibly discover anything now, he was still hiding something, which made him feel a pang of guilt whenever he saw her.
"But in the future, if such things happen again, I hope you can remind him more. I know that sometimes drinking is unavoidable for business, but he really shouldn't drink so much."
Hearing this, Jing Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "You can rest assured about that, Madam. As your family doctor, I will naturally consider President Zhan's health."
Jing Yan felt that if he continued to chat with Wei Yumeng, he might accidentally say something he shouldn't.
"Well, Madam, I'll be going now. If there's anything, you can call me."
Wei Yumeng said nothing more, only watching Jing Yan leave.
Originally, Wei Yumeng had wanted to inquire about the situation from Jing Yan. After all, Jing Yan had picked up Zhan Mohan, so he was naturally the one most aware of what had happened.
However, it seemed now that Jing Yan wouldn't reveal what he had discovered. Yet, it was precisely at times like these that Wei Yumeng became calmer.
Because every step she took next could directly affect her relationship with Zhan Mohan.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and turned back into the room.
Inside the room, Zhan Mohan looked at the earring in his hand, his eyes unreadable.
In fact, to resolve this matter, he only needed to clarify things with Chen Yutong.
But with what had happened now, coupled with some lingering feelings from before, he also began to suspect that Chen Yutong was not as innocent as she seemed in her relationship with Zhan Yangyi.
He hadn't missed the fact that the food Chen Yutong brought that day was all to his taste.
He hadn't eaten a single bite specifically to maintain distance from Chen Yutong. Moreover, Wei Yumeng must have noticed it at the time, so he couldn't have acted in any way.
Zhan Mohan glanced at the direction of the door and sighed. Perhaps Jing Yan hadn't noticed, but he was too familiar with everything about Wei Yumeng to not realize she had been listening at the door to their conversation. He just couldn't ascertain how much she had learned.
Just like now, Wei Yumeng was standing outside Zhan Mohan's room door, hesitating to enter.
If before it was purely to eavesdrop on what Jing Yan and Zhan Mohan had discussed, now Wei Yumeng was genuinely hesitating.
She didn't even know how to speak to Zhan Mohan. She worried she might not be able to help but question him directly.
But if there was another reason for this, wouldn't she be wrongly accusing Zhan Mohan?
Standing at the door, Wei Yumeng felt that staying there was wrong, entering was wrong, and leaving was even more wrong.
Zhan Mohan kept his gaze fixed on the door, as if he could see Wei Yumeng's conflicted figure through it.
Wei Yumeng's hesitation was for the sake of their relationship and for Zhan Mohan's dignity.
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment, took out his phone, but after considering the numbers of Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong, he ultimately chose Chen Yutong.
If Zhan Yangyi found out about this, given his previous vengeful nature, the Zhan family would likely be in turmoil again for some time.
At this moment, Chen Yutong was still fantasizing about whether her plan would succeed. After all, when a wife found earrings belonging to another woman in her husband's pocket, she didn't believe any woman could pretend nothing had happened.
As long as a crack appeared in the relationship between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng, she would have an opportunity.
Thinking this, a smile bloomed on her face. She was clearly deeply immersed in her own imagination.
Just as she was savoring her potential future life, her phone rang unexpectedly.
When she saw the caller ID, she became even more excited. After all, this was the first time Zhan Mohan had called her proactively.
"Oh my goodness, it's President Zhan. I was just thinking of him, and he called. I'm not ready yet."
Chen Yutong was so excited that she almost dropped her phone. She ran around her room a few times before managing to calm her emotions. Only then did she answer the call.
"President Zhan, what can I do for you?"
Chen Yutong's voice was as gentle as flowing water, not at all intentional, but a genuine tenderness towards Zhan Mohan.
However, Zhan Mohan's voice was a stark contrast to hers, chilling to the bone: "How did your earring end up with me?"
Zhan Mohan had no intention of engaging in pleasantries with Chen Yutong. He just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
Chen Yutong then put on an act of sudden realization. "Oh, it fell out there? I'm so sorry, President Zhan. I really didn't know, I didn't even realize when it got into your clothes pocket."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan's tone grew colder. "I never said your earring was in my clothes pocket. How did you know?"
There was only one reason for her to know: Chen Yutong had placed it there herself.
Chen Yutong was stunned, her face instantly turning pale. She hadn't expected her arrangement to be seen through so quickly by Zhan Mohan. But how could she admit it now?
"President Zhan, what are you saying? If it fell somewhere that people would associate with you, it would only be somewhere like a pocket."
Zhan Mohan wasn't buying her explanation. "Don't try to play clever tricks with me. I want you to recognize your current identity."
"I... I understand." Although Chen Yutong was still somewhat unconvinced, she could only agree with Zhan Mohan now. Arguing with him was not a good option.
Zhan Mohan said no more to Chen Yutong. He simply resolved the matter and hung up the phone.
"Do you understand the truth of the matter now?"
Zhan Mohan's voice, gentle yet tinged with helplessness, was directed towards the door.
Wei Yumeng was taken aback. She knew Zhan Mohan was speaking to her, and she didn't even know when he had realized she was there.
"Mohan..." Wei Yumeng walked in somewhat awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation outside, and I almost really believed..."
Wei Yumeng had convinced herself to remain calm earlier, but now that everything was clear, she found it difficult to stay calm.
