Chen Yutong never imagined that despite her careful attention, Zhan Mohan would still discover a loophole.
When she received the call from Dr. Wang, she still found it hard to believe. She couldn't figure out where she had slipped up.
However, since the problem had arisen, dwelling on it was useless. The most sensible course of action was to find a way to resolve it.
Wei Yumeng had already heard about Zhan Mohan's investigation from him. Although Zhan Mohan had told Wei Yumeng that he had sent Fang Xun to find Dr. Wang,
Wei Yumeng still felt that if family matters could be resolved within the family, there might be fewer repercussions.
"Mohan, I plan to talk to Yutong first," Wei Yumeng said after some thought. "Chen Yutong is a public figure, and people are still fixated on her marriage. If this matter is accidentally exposed, it won't just affect Chen Yutong, but also the Zhan family."
Zhan Mohan frowned upon hearing Wei Yumeng's words. This was indeed something he was also worried about.
The wider the publicity surrounding Chen Yutong's marriage, the greater the impact of its exposure would be.
"Alright, I will continue investigating Dr. Wang. As for Chen Yutong, you can talk to her first, but be mindful of your safety."
Zhan Mohan expressed his concern, but then thought that since it was within the Zhan residence, Chen Yutong wouldn't do anything too extreme.
Wei Yumeng hung up the phone and prepared to head to Chen Yutong's room, contemplating how to start the conversation as she walked.
As Wei Yumeng approached Chen Yutong's door, Chen Yutong heard her footsteps. Having lived in the Zhan residence for so long, distinguishing people by their footsteps was not difficult.
Chen Yutong immediately had an idea. Although Wei Yumeng might not know about her previous actions, she could probe her first. If things were indeed heading in that direction, she would have to strike first.
Wei Yumeng hesitated at the door for a moment before knocking.
Chen Yutong's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Wei Yumeng walked in, her expression not at ease.
"Yumeng, is that you? Isn't Feng Group busy today?"
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "I have something important to discuss with you today."
Wei Yumeng's serious expression made Chen Yutong suspect that she already knew about those matters.
"Actually... I already know. What you did before, you and older brother, you never actually had relations, did you? And this child is even fake."
Chen Yutong feigned shock. "Yumeng, why are you saying that? What is going on?"
Wei Yumeng observed Chen Yutong's reaction closely. She had tried to elicit information indirectly many times, but it had been useless. Therefore, she decided to be direct this time.
"I've investigated. The first place you and older brother were together, someone saw you put something in the red wine that day. So, after older brother drank the sleeping pills, he knew nothing. With a little disguise, you could make older brother believe you had been together. If I'm not mistaken, you've been using this method to avoid being with older brother all along."
"Yumeng, I don't know what you're talking about. Why are you saying this? Are you investigating me?" Chen Yutong couldn't help but become agitated.
However, Wei Yumeng was unusually assertive. "If you think I'm talking nonsense, then why do you care so much about me investigating you? If you've done nothing, why would you worry about an investigation?"
"You..." Chen Yutong had anticipated that Wei Yumeng might confront her, but she hadn't expected her to be so aggressively direct.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "I don't know what your purpose is, but I advise you, some things cannot be hidden forever. And since the child in your belly is fake, where did you find a child to replace it?"
Chen Yutong clenched her fists. Wei Yumeng had actually voiced her greatest concern. It was indeed impossible for her to suddenly produce a child.
However, in this situation, it was not wise to directly confront Wei Yumeng. The more she argued with Wei Yumeng, the more it would indicate her guilt.
"Yumeng, believe me, I haven't lied to you. The child is real, and my relationship with Yang Yi is real." Chen Yutong's voice was close to tears of grievance. "How could I joke about my own lifelong happiness?"
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "When this marriage began, I truly believed that. I really thought you weren't joking. But everything you've done now makes me believe you have ulterior motives. And those motives are likely..."
At this point, Wei Yumeng found it difficult to continue. For someone who was supposed to be an elder sister-in-law, to now covet her husband's younger brother was simply too preposterous.
"No, it's not like that. I truly love Yang Yi, and I sincerely want to marry him."
Looking at Chen Yutong's demeanor, Wei Yumeng felt that many past events resurfaced in her mind. Chen Yutong had likely been after Zhan Mohan from the start. However, because Zhan Yang Yi was in between them, she had to be cautious, leading to the current situation. If only she had confronted Chen Yutong earlier.
Wei Yumeng sighed. "Actually, it's not difficult to verify all of this. If we immediately have the hospital conduct a pregnancy test for you, we'll know if your pregnancy is real or fake. Everything will be clear."
Chen Yutong looked at Wei Yumeng, who held her gaze firmly.
Finally, Chen Yutong seemed to concede. "Alright, I'll go with you. You suspect the previous hospital was tampered with, so I'll do as you say this time."
Wei Yumeng had expected Chen Yutong to find a way to evade the examination, but she hadn't anticipated her agreeing so readily, which instead made her feel uneasy.
However, since Chen Yutong had agreed, Wei Yumeng didn't intend to change her mind. After all, a re-examination was the simplest and most direct solution.
Chen Yutong prepared herself, and they both headed downstairs. As they reached the top of the stairs, Chen Yutong suddenly turned and looked at Wei Yumeng, who was now with her back to the stairs.
Wei Yumeng was startled. Chen Yutong had already reached out to push her. Wei Yumeng instinctively dodged, but tragedy struck.
Because Wei Yumeng dodged, Chen Yutong lost her balance and fell down the stairs.
