Wei Yumeng had originally thought that the online backlash against her would last for some time. Even Chai Yanyu had contacted her, asking if she needed help suppressing the comments.
Of course, Wei Yumeng still refused his offer.
Even so, after just two days, the once-hot topics had vanished without a trace.
"It seems the attention of netizens really comes and goes quickly," Wei Yumeng said with a sigh.
Zhan Mohan, seeing Wei Yumeng lost in thought, leaned closer. "What's wrong?"
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "Nothing."
The thought of Zhan Mohan directly addressing the scandal earlier warmed her heart.
However, as she scrolled down a few more posts, a headline suddenly appeared: "Original Famous Model Suspected of Marital Crisis."
Curious, Wei Yumeng clicked on it, only to find that the news was about Chen Yutong.
It turned out that due to the previous press conference, Chen Yutong had once again attracted the attention of reporters, and even some paparazzi.
The accompanying photos in the article suggested the location was none other than Zhan Yangyi's home.
"Original famous model Chen Yutong is suspected of falling out with Zhan Yangyi. Her husband has not returned home for two days, and Chen Yutong is left alone."
Wei Yumeng was somewhat surprised; she hadn't known anything about it.
Zhan Mohan also frowned and picked up his phone to call Zhan Yangyi.
But after a few rings, no one answered.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with concern. He just shook his head at her. "I can't reach my elder brother."
"Is it still because of the press conference?" Wei Yumeng could only think of that as a reason.
Zhan Mohan also thought it was possible. Although he had used that method to divert attention, Zhan Yangyi was not easily fooled.
Just as they were pondering what to do, a maid knocked on their door.
"Madam, sir, Mrs. Chen Yutong is here and wishes to see you."
Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan exchanged glances, and then Wei Yumeng said to the person outside, "Alright, we'll be right there."
Chen Yutong's intention was clear; she must have come about Zhan Yangyi.
Indeed, as Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan arrived in the living room, Chen Yutong immediately walked towards them.
"Yumeng, Mohan, can you help me? I... I can't find Yangyi."
Chen Yutong appeared to be in a very bad state. Although she was a public figure, she had come without even bothering to dress up.
"Is your brother really going to divorce you?" Wei Yumeng couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Chen Yutong stumbled back a few steps, momentarily stunned.
Wei Yumeng realized that the rumors were not unfounded; there had indeed been problems between Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong.
However, this situation was somewhat within Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan's expectations. Despite Chen Yutong's many misdeeds, which they had always managed to suppress, secrets couldn't be kept forever. Eventually, Zhan Yangyi would discover them; it was only a matter of time.
Zhan Mohan looked coldly at Chen Yutong. "Since things have reached this point, you should accept reality. Isn't the current situation a result of your own actions?"
He genuinely didn't think their divorce was a bad thing. After all, he knew very well that Chen Yutong had only married Zhan Yangyi for convenience and that a marriage without true love had no point in continuing.
Moreover, with Chen Yutong gone, he would have fewer troubles and wouldn't have to worry every day about Chen Yutong doing something outrageous.
Wei Yumeng subtly tugged at Zhan Mohan, signaling him to stop speaking so harshly.
Although Wei Yumeng also felt that Chen Yutong had brought this upon herself, as a woman, she could empathize with Chen Yutong's current emotions.
She had a feeling that Chen Yutong had perhaps fallen in love with Zhan Yangyi without realizing it.
Consider it: how could someone who usually paid so much attention to her appearance be so distraught that she would come to see others without even tidying up?
Especially since she wanted to make a good impression on Zhan Mohan, whom she liked.
But now, Chen Yutong's appearance showed she no longer cared about such things.
After a long while, Chen Yutong regained her senses and looked at them pleadingly.
"I don't want him to leave, and I don't want to divorce him. Please help me find him, okay? I'll agree to any condition."
Zhan Mohan's expression remained cold; he had no intention of siding with Chen Yutong on this matter.
Wei Yumeng glanced at Zhan Mohan, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Mohan, don't you think she seems different?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan looked at Chen Yutong again.
"Mohan, I think she's fallen for big brother, she just hasn't realized it herself."
Wei Yumeng nodded at Zhan Mohan as she spoke.
Zhan Mohan sighed, understanding Wei Yumeng's intention. Wei Yumeng was planning to give Chen Yutong another chance to realize the importance of Zhan Yangyi in her life.
He raised an eyebrow at Wei Yumeng, implying that he could help her, but the ultimate outcome could not be guaranteed.
Wei Yumeng looked at him steadfastly.
After this silent exchange, Zhan Mohan finally spoke to Chen Yutong. "For big brother's sake, I can help you one more time, but this will be the last time."
Chen Yutong immediately agreed. "As long as I can see him again, I... I'll do whatever you say."
Zhan Mohan said faintly, "I hope you remember your words."
With that, he picked up his phone and went back into the house.
Finding Zhan Yangyi was not difficult for Zhan Mohan. With the resources of the Zhan Corporation, he could locate Zhan Yangyi within half a day.
Indeed, they didn't have to wait for half a day before there was a result.
Zhan Mohan answered his phone, and Fang Xun's voice came from the other end. "Mr. Zhan, we have news. According to our intelligence, Mr. Zhan was seen at the Center Street Bar about half an hour ago, but we're not sure if he's still there."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing Zhan Mohan hang up, Chen Yutong eagerly leaned forward. "How is it, have you got any news?"
Zhan Mohan looked at Chen Yutong again. The anxiety and fear in her eyes genuinely didn't seem faked.
"Yes, he might be at the Corner Bar."
"Corner Bar..." Chen Yutong murmured.
Wasn't that the same bar where she had gone to find Zhan Yangyi before?
She hadn't even thought that Zhan Yangyi would go there, yet she knew about that place.
Thinking of this, Chen Yutong clenched her fist. Had her attention to Zhan Yangyi truly been so little all this time?
