Zhan Yangyi's eyes were fixed on Chen Yutong, and he could even feel her inner thoughts through her eyes.
If it were anyone else, they would have surrendered in such a situation.
But Zhan Yangyi no longer knew whether he should believe Chen Yutong's words.
"Yangyi, please believe me, okay? Everything I said just now was sincere," Chen Yutong stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve, and held on tightly.
Zhan Yangyi looked at her, outwardly calm, but inwardly he had already begun to waver.
However, he couldn't give Chen Yutong an answer now, nor could he give himself an answer.
Zhan Yangyi finally sighed, "I've heard what you said, but I can't give you an answer right now."
Hearing this, hope reignited in Chen Yutong's eyes. As long as Zhan Yangyi was still willing to consider their relationship, there was still a chance for everything.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to give me an answer. Can you go home today?"
But before Chen Yutong could finish speaking, Zhan Yangyi said to her, "You go back first. I'll be staying at the company these days. You can come to me if you have something, but my time is tight, and I can't always see you."
After saying this, Zhan Yangyi turned and entered the company building again, leaving Chen Yutong alone.
"Yangyi..." Chen Yutong couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Zhan Yangyi's refusal to go home meant he hadn't forgiven her, didn't it?
Chen Yutong waited downstairs for a long time, until dusk, but Zhan Yangyi showed no signs of coming out.
She finally gave up. Only when she was certain that Zhan Yangyi wasn't going home did she leave.
In the following days, Chen Yutong did not relax. She called Zhan Yangyi frequently and even went to the company to see him every few days.
She knew that Zhan Yangyi was also very busy with work, which was why she didn't go to see him every day like before, but the daily calls were unavoidable.
However, every time even if the phone was connected, it was Zhan Yangyi's assistant who answered.
Each time, Zhan Yangyi was either busy with work or in a meeting.
Chen Yutong knew that Zhan Yangyi was likely using these excuses because he hadn't forgiven her yet.
One day, Chen Yutong tidied herself up and prepared to go out. Today, she was ready to go to Zhan Yangyi's company to see him again.
But before she could leave, Wei Yumeng came to see her.
"Yumeng? Do you need something?" Chen Yutong was a little confused. These past few days, she had been too preoccupied with Zhan Yangyi to pay attention to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng simply took out her phone and opened it to the news section, handing it to Chen Yutong. "What's going on with these news reports?"
Wei Yumeng's voice was slightly cold. She originally didn't want to believe that these reports had anything to do with Chen Yutong, but Chen Yutong had done quite a bit of using public opinion before, so she had to come over personally to confirm.
Chen Yutong's eyes widened as she saw the content on the phone. "No, I didn't do this. I never did."
The trending news was all about the marital crisis between Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi.
A few days ago, it was just rumored that the two were suspected of divorce, but now it was undoubtedly confirming the matter and releasing it.
The news even included many photos, with the protagonist being Zhan Yangyi.
The content of the news was clearly aimed at Zhan Yangyi.
"Young Master of Zhan Group abandons his wife and frequents nightclubs."
Chen Yutong's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. "I really don't know about these things. Although I know he... I never thought of exposing these things to the media. Believe me."
Seeing her demeanor, Wei Yumeng had a conclusion.
In fact, after this incident occurred, the first person to discover it was Zhan Yichen, who contacted Zhan Mohan immediately.
Zhan Mohan planned to use his connections to suppress these news reports first.
But Wei Yumeng didn't know what ultimately happened, and Zhan Mohan actually gave up doing so.
No matter how much Wei Yumeng asked, Zhan Mohan only said that this was not something outsiders could interfere with.
Zhan Mohan's change of heart made Wei Yumeng very worried, but since Zhan Mohan refused to tell her, she had to figure it out herself.
"Alright, I believe you," Wei Yumeng finally said.
Chen Yutong suddenly realized, "Right, I need to go see Yangyi immediately. If Yangyi also thinks this was my doing..."
She dared not even think further.
But as she walked towards the door, she stopped. "But he won't see me these few days."
Wei Yumeng thought about it and felt that if there was really a misunderstanding, it would indeed have a significant impact on the relationship between Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong. For the sake of the Zhan family, she had to help.
"How about this? I'll invite my elder brother out under my name, and then you can go in my place to meet him."
Chen Yutong was slightly stunned, then tears welled up in her eyes with emotion. "Thank you..."
If it were before, Wei Yumeng was the only person she didn't want to humble herself to, because she would never admit that she was inferior to Wei Yumeng.
But now, perhaps only Wei Yumeng could help her.
And this opportunity might be the only one.
Wei Yumeng simply said indifferently, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this for you, but for my elder brother and this Zhan family."
Chen Yutong nodded and said no more.
Wei Yumeng took out her phone and called Zhan Yangyi.
Seeing this, Chen Yutong felt a flicker of anticipation. If Zhan Yangyi didn't even answer Wei Yumeng's call, it would mean that Zhan Yangyi was really busy, and not answering her calls was just because of work.
At least this way, she could feel a little better.
However, her wish did not come true. After a short while, Zhan Yangyi answered the phone.
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but glance at Chen Yutong beside her, her eyes full of disappointment. She could only shake her head helplessly.
"Yumeng?" Zhan Yangyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wei Yumeng then said, "Brother, have you seen today's news? Mohan asked me to come and discuss today's matter with you."
"No need," Zhan Yangyi's voice was flat, without any expression, as if he didn't care what the news said.
"Brother, I hope you will still meet me. This matter is not just your personal business; it also concerns the reputation of the Zhan family. I... I need to clarify this matter." Wei Yumeng's voice was firm.
Zhan Yangyi paused slightly and couldn't help but sigh. Wei Yumeng was indeed stubborn at times, to the point where he couldn't refuse.
"Alright, but my time is limited. Tell me the time and place."
