"Mo Han..." she murmured Zhan Mohan's name.
Tears even welled up in her eyes. She missed him so much, she was almost going mad.
If she could, she would trade her life to see Zhan Mohan just once.
But when she reached the living room, all her dreams shattered.
She only saw Zhan Yangyi, Chen Yutong, Mu Linjing, and Chai Yanyu, along with the two children.
Upon seeing Wei Yumeng, Zhan Yangyi addressed the children, "Your mother is alright now. Can you two be good and go to school?"
"Your mother is very worried now. You mustn't add fuel to the fire, understand?" Chen Yutong added.
The two children exchanged a look, then finally picked up their schoolbags and left.
Mu Linjing found the situation rather strange.
It almost felt as if Zhan Shiqing and Zhan Jinzhi were Zhan Yangyi's children.
Meanwhile, Chai Yanyu, with a dark expression, seemed very unhappy.
In reality, he had stayed with Wei Yumeng all night and had not rested well. Then, first thing in the morning, both children announced they were going on strike from school.
He had initially tried reasoning with them kindly, but he hadn't expected Zhan Jinzhi to be so stubborn. At such a young age, his words were sharp and hit Chai Yanyu's sore spots with every sentence.
Hearing this, Chai Yanyu's temper flared, and he almost got into a fight with Zhan Jinzhi.
Fortunately, Mu Linjing, worried, had arrived early and stopped the altercation.
Now, Chai Yanyu couldn't fathom why he would want to fight with a child.
Was it because Zhan Jinzhi resembled Zhan Mohan so much?
Later, Zhan Yangyi heard about the situation and came over with Chen Yutong.
Wei Yumeng walked over to everyone and found a place to sit. "I'm sorry, it's all my own issues that have caused you all to worry."
Mu Linjing reached out and patted her hand in comfort. "We don't mind worrying, but please don't leave without a word again. If Mr. Chai's people hadn't found you, I would have cried my eyes out with nowhere to turn."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng felt the memories of last night become a little clearer.
The person she had called Mo Han was not Zhan Mohan himself.
With this thought, she turned to look at Chai Yanyu, who was also looking at her. He gave her a smile.
However, Wei Yumeng couldn't bring herself to smile. She could even recall Chai Yanyu sitting by her bedside, wearing a smile of bitter pain.
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but lower her head. She had been dispirited for a while now, and she couldn't continue like this.
"That won't happen again, I promise," Wei Yumeng suddenly raised her head, her expression resolute. "I know I've caused you all a lot of trouble recently. I've come to my senses. Even if Mo Han is not here for now, I shouldn't be so down. I want to wait for him to return properly, at least so he can see that I've taken good care of this home."
Zhan Yangyi frowned upon hearing this. "Don't force yourself. This isn't just affecting you; it's greatly impacting us too. We can't just stand by and do nothing."
Chai Yanyu nodded as well. "From the moment I agreed to help my sister find him, I was already involved in this. I probably can't extricate myself completely. It's better to keep searching."
Chen Yutong also smiled at Wei Yumeng. "We're family. We can't not be involved."
Wei Yumeng looked at them, her heart warming. No matter what, at this moment, she still had her family by her side.
Even without Zhan Mohan, she could still strive to live her life.
And so, Zhan Yangyi and Chai Yanyu's search continued, but another month passed with no news of Zhan Mohan.
Grandpa Zhan also fell ill due to this matter. Almost every time he woke from his sleep, he called out Zhan Mohan's name.
Seeing the once robust Grandpa Zhan in such a state, both Zhan Yangyi and Wei Yumeng felt a pang in their hearts.
Wei Yumeng also silently made a decision. "Big Brother, I have a request that I hope you will definitely grant me."
Zhan Yangyi glanced at Grandpa, who was still sleeping on the hospital bed, and gestured for her to speak outside.
The two of them then went to the hospital corridor and found a quiet spot.
"Tell me. If I can help, I won't refuse."
Wei Yumeng then said, "I wish for you to let me work at Zhan Corporation. I know that by just waiting like this, I can't do anything. I hope to do something more for the Zhan family."
Zhan Yangyi remained silent, lost in thought.
Wei Yumeng, thinking Zhan Yangyi doubted her capabilities, immediately explained, "If you doubt my ability to handle it, I can give you my resume. I also served as acting president of Feng Corporation before, and I..."
Seeing Wei Yumeng's anxious demeanor, Zhan Yangyi felt a touch of helplessness. "Of course, I don't doubt your abilities. Forget it. Since you've made up your mind, I'll arrange it for you when I get back."
Wei Yumeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Big Brother."
Zhan Yangyi, having reviewed Wei Yumeng's past position at Feng Corporation, arranged for her to be a Project Director at Zhan Corporation.
Furthermore, he was busy managing his own company. With Wei Yumeng now, he felt much more at ease. Wei Yumeng naturally took on all the project responsibilities.
Initially, Zhan Yangyi thought Wei Yumeng simply wanted to contribute more to Zhan Corporation. But later, he realized something was amiss.
Wei Yumeng's work hours seemed to be getting later and later.
Usually, Zhan Yangyi was the last to leave. But gradually, Wei Yumeng's departure time became even later than his.
Although Zhan Yangyi had subtly reminded her a few times, Wei Yumeng outwardly agreed but showed no actual change.
So, Zhan Yangyi decided to tell Chen Yutong about the recent events, hoping that as a woman, she might have some insights.
"I can understand Yumeng's feelings," Chen Yutong sighed. "She's likely doing this to immerse herself completely in her work, so she won't have time to think about Mo Han."
This reminded Zhan Yangyi that Wei Yumeng used to ask him about the investigation progress from time to time, but now she didn't inquire at all.
"This isn't a solution either. I've already used all the contacts I could to investigate. What kind of capability does the other party have to hide a living person?" Zhan Yangyi said, looking troubled. "Could Mo Han truly be..."
Chen Yutong fell silent. She didn't even know how to comfort Zhan Yangyi, as the situation with Zhan Mohan forced one to consider the worst possibilities.
