Meanwhile, Wei Yumeng had also managed to ask Chen Yutong out.
Although she felt that Zhan Mohan had his own way of handling the matter, Wei Yumeng was still a little worried. After all, Chen Yutong's current situation was all her speculation. If she could directly understand Chen Yutong's thoughts, she might be able to avoid some problems.
Despite thinking this, Wei Yumeng also felt a pang of unease. What if Chen Yutong's answer was the same as what they had imagined? Or what if Chen Yutong didn't tell her the truth when facing her? Then she would have no other recourse. However, even so, she still wanted to try. Taking this step was much better than doing nothing at all.
The two arranged to meet at a restaurant near the Zhan Corporation. Since Chen Yutong happened to be at the Zhan Corporation to handle some matters that day, it was convenient for her to meet Wei Yumeng there.
"Yumeng, what brings you to look for me today?" Chen Yutong's expression was as natural as ever, showing no signs of anything amiss.
Wei Yumeng's expression, however, was a little gloomy.
"Looking at your expression, have you encountered something? You know, even after having a child, you should take good care of yourself. Be careful your husband doesn't get snatched away by someone else."
Chen Yutong's tone was teasing, as if it were a joke completely unrelated to herself. But upon hearing this, Wei Yumeng's face darkened further. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Are you referring to yourself?"
"What?" Chen Yutong was slightly taken aback.
"The reason I asked you to chat today is actually about one thing: do you like Mohan?"
Perhaps because she hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to ask so directly, Chen Yutong was even more stunned and remained silent for a while. Wei Yumeng simply looked at her quietly, waiting for an answer.
After a while, Chen Yutong laughed, "Yumeng, why do you think that too? Those gossip columns can write and say whatever they want, but you must not take it to heart. I like Yang Yi, and that has never changed."
Chen Yutong's tone was natural, and her expression showed nothing amiss. Wei Yumeng couldn't tell if she was lying or not. However, Wei Yumeng also knew Chen Yutong somewhat. Although Chen Yutong's primary career was as a model, she had also acted in some movies and television shows, and her acting skills had received critical acclaim.
Wei Yumeng's hands, hidden beneath the table, involuntarily clenched. She didn't know whether to believe Chen Yutong's words or not.
"Perhaps you can't understand that feeling. When we first met at that banquet, I had a feeling that she was the one I would spend my life with." Chen Yutong seemed to become a little excited when mentioning Zhan Yang Yi. "Although after we got together, he felt a little different from before, I believe I didn't misjudge him."
As Chen Yutong spoke, her eyes sparkled with happiness and longing, the kind of glow that a woman deeply in love would have.
Although Wei Yumeng was still somewhat unclear about the situation, she couldn't do anything to Chen Yutong at the moment. She could only hope that Chen Yutong's words were from the heart, and then she wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.
At this moment, Zhan Mohan was on a break. He looked out the window. He had just seen Chen Yutong and Wei Yumeng leaving together. Zhan Mohan didn't need to think to know that if Wei Yumeng had invited Chen Yutong, it would be at the restaurant they frequented.
Just then, he received a call from Jing Yan: "Mr. Zhan, the matter is settled. I've told him what needed to be said."
"What was his reaction?"
Jing Yan was a little unsure: "I don't know how to put it. He seemed to believe it, yet he also seemed not to."
Zhan Mohan said indifferently, "Thank you for your trouble. Let's leave it at that. From now on, it's up to them to handle it themselves."
Zhan Mohan hung up the phone and walked out of the company, intending to check on Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng and Chen Yutong were making small talk. Chen Yutong, as if to show how much she loved Zhan Yang Yi, centered almost every sentence around him. This made Wei Yumeng feel a bit awkward. Anyone else would probably think that Chen Yutong and Zhan Yang Yi's relationship was going well right now. But she still couldn't put her mind at ease.
"Yumeng, excuse me, I need to go to the restroom." Chen Yutong suddenly clutched her stomach and stood up.
Wei Yumeng naturally couldn't stop her. After Chen Yutong left, Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had initially thought that today would yield at least some results, but it seemed the situation was more troublesome than she had anticipated, or rather, Chen Yutong's composure was deeper than she had imagined. Although she also hoped that everything was just her own overthinking.
About five minutes later, Chen Yutong returned to her seat.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened just now, I had a sudden pain," Chen Yutong said, her face slightly flushed and a little embarrassed.
Wei Yumeng quickly waved her hand, "That's natural. There's no need to stand on ceremony between us."
"Yumeng, you're so kind." Chen Yutong said, picking up her drink and taking a sip. "You have no idea, in our line of work, we're always subjected to strict demands during social engagements. I've gotten used to it."
Just a moment ago, Chen Yutong had been chatting happily with Wei Yumeng, but the next second, she showed a pained expression.
"Yumeng..." Chen Yutong seemed to be struggling to breathe.
Wei Yumeng was also startled, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" But Chen Yutong couldn't say anything, only gripping Wei Yumeng's arm tightly.
"Take her to the hospital first."
Hearing this voice, Wei Yumeng was stunned. She hadn't expected it to be Zhan Mohan.
"Mohan..." Although Wei Yumeng was curious how Zhan Mohan had arrived, the most important thing at the moment was to get Chen Yutong to the hospital.
Wei Yumeng never expected that after the doctor's examination, they would say Chen Yutong was poisoned.
"Poisoned? How is that possible?" Wei Yumeng couldn't quite believe it.
At this moment, Zhan Yang Yi also rushed to the hospital: "Mohan, Yumeng, how is Yutong?"
"The doctor said she... said she was poisoned." Wei Yumeng felt something was off.
Zhan Yang Yi's face immediately turned angry: "How could she be poisoned? Who would want to harm her?"
Wei Yumeng shook her head. Zhan Mohan also had no idea.
"I just invited her for a meal at that restaurant. After she drank that beverage, she started feeling unwell." Wei Yumeng thought it over and over, concluding that the beverage was likely the culprit.
Zhan Yang Yi no longer cared about anything else. After confirming with the doctor that Chen Yutong was out of danger, he looked at Wei Yumeng.
"Please take me to the restaurant."
