Although Elder Zhan said so, how could Zhan Mohan attribute all of Zhan Yangyi’s problems to him?
Moreover, Zhan Mohan didn’t think Zhan Yangyi deserved for Elder Zhan to do so.
But things had reached this point, what other choice was there? Elder Zhan was so insistent, and the more Zhan Mohan disagreed, the more out of control things would become.
Zhan Mohan looked at Elder Zhan. He knew a lot about Elder Zhan’s past deeds when he was young, and now, for Zhan Yangyi, he had put aside all his pride.
“Grandfather, I agree this time,” Zhan Mohan said with a sigh. “But Grandfather, there’s something I hope you understand. Although I can let Zhan Yangyi go this time, if he does anything out of line again, I might not be able to let him off.”
As he spoke, Zhan Mohan frowned. He hoped that if something happened next time, it wouldn’t be because of Wei Yumeng.
Elder Zhan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. “Mohan, you can rest assured about this. Since Yangyi has taken the initiative to admit his mistake this time, it shows that he still cares about you as a brother. I believe as long as you all get along well in the future, everything will get better.”
However, Zhan Mohan couldn’t relax so easily. After all, the underlying conflict between Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Mohan existed, and he absolutely couldn’t make any concessions in this regard.
When Zhan Mohan returned home that evening, he found Wei Yumeng waiting for him in the living room. It was already late.
“Mohan, you’re back.” Wei Yumeng immediately stood up.
Zhan Mohan frowned, looking at Wei Yumeng, who was only wearing her inner garments. He casually wrapped a blanket around her.
“You were waiting for me? Is there something wrong?”
Wei Yumeng didn’t know how to bring it up. She actually wanted to persuade Zhan Mohan not to sue Zhan Yangyi anymore.
But if she said it, she felt Zhan Mohan would definitely overthink things.
In fact, after those events, Wei Yumeng had a new understanding of Zhan Yangyi. Zhan Yangyi didn’t seem as bad as she had imagined. Perhaps they really had a chance to become a harmonious family.
Wei Yumeng even felt that if it wasn’t for Catherine’s meddling in this incident, Zhan Yangyi wouldn’t have done such a thing.
“Um… Mohan, I…” Wei Yumeng observed Zhan Mohan’s expression before hesitantly saying, “What do you plan to do with Zhan Yangyi?”
Hearing Wei Yumeng mention this, Zhan Mohan looked at her speculatively.
Wei Yumeng, however, didn’t dare to meet Zhan Mohan’s gaze. Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong, why did she feel guilty?
“Actually, I think the real problem isn’t with him. And he’s your brother. You only reunited not long ago, and some friction is just part of the adjustment. Moreover, he seems to know he was wrong.”
Wei Yumeng’s voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She seemed to have anticipated Zhan Mohan’s reaction to her pleading for Zhan Yangyi.
Honestly, this approach was unfair to Zhan Mohan. But Wei Yumeng didn’t want their relationship to deteriorate further.
Zhan Mohan remained silent, making Wei Yumeng even more afraid to look at him, her head drooping.
“Actually, I’m just making a suggestion. It’s okay if you disagree.”
Finally, Zhan Mohan let out a sigh. “Alright, I already spoke with Grandfather today. I’ll let him off this time.”
Wei Yumeng’s eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this news. However, this reaction made Zhan Mohan’s heart turn cold.
Did Zhan Yangyi’s situation really concern Wei Yumeng that much?
Thinking of this, he really regretted his decision.
Wei Yumeng, unaware of Zhan Mohan’s mood, showed a relaxed expression. “I’ve been worried about this all day. Now it’s good, I can sleep well.”
With that, she intended to turn back to her room.
But as she took a step, she found her arm being held by Zhan Mohan.
“You’re that worried about him? Worried about him all day?” Zhan Mohan’s voice was somewhat suppressed, as he tried his best to control his jealousy.
Now it was Wei Yumeng’s turn to feel uneasy. “Mohan, I am indeed worried about him, but it’s not what you think.”
“Then what is it?” Zhan Mohan raised an eyebrow and approached Wei Yumeng with a dangerous aura.
Wei Yumeng instinctively stepped back. “You are brothers after all. No matter what, this relationship won’t change, so I sincerely don’t want you to become enemies. Moreover…”
She trailed off, suddenly gasping. She had retreated to the wall, and Zhan Mohan’s arm was around her. Such close proximity made Wei Yumeng’s tension increase severalfold.
“Moreover… moreover…”
Wei Yumeng couldn’t finish her sentence for a long time. The pressure from Zhan Mohan always exuded a different kind of charm to her.
Her face had turned red all the way to her ears. She knew they were discussing something else, but she still felt flustered.
Finally, Wei Yumeng reached out to push Zhan Mohan away, but as soon as her hand touched his chest, he pulled her into his embrace.
“Yumeng, I want you to remember that no one can make me give you up, not even my brother.”
Wei Yumeng was stunned. So Zhan Mohan’s focus was here.
“Mohan, I won’t leave you for anyone, I promise.”
They held each other for a long time. Later, Zhan Mohan simply picked Wei Yumeng up and carried her into the bedroom.
Following Elder Zhan’s plan, Zhan Mohan easily altered the clues he had found, shifting the blame for the entire incident to the reporters.
After all, their accusations had become a crucial driving force in the event.
Since they were willing to fabricate news for money, they were probably not qualified media professionals.
Thus, these people naturally became the scapegoats chosen by Zhan Mohan.
And it wasn’t unjust for them to take responsibility for their actions.
In fact, although those people had indeed deliberately participated in this incident under Zhan Yangyi’s arrangement, they actually had no idea who the mastermind was.
So, under the questioning of the police and the reporters, no one could explain anything clearly. Rather, their own motives were more obvious.
Ultimately, Zhan Yangyi was released due to insufficient evidence, and his own confession could not be used as evidence.
Zhan Yangyi had initially thought that Zhan Mohan would seize this opportunity to destroy him, but he never expected Zhan Mohan to let him off the hook.
