Wei Yumeng watched the airplane fly across the sky outside the window, and couldn't help but think that according to Chai Yanyu's schedule, he should have already boarded the plane back to C City by now.
Despite all that had happened, thankfully, the projects of Feng Group and Feng Xing were not affected. In the future, there would likely be many more things to avoid when interacting with Chai Yanyu.
Mu Linjing, seeing Wei Yumeng lost in thought as she gazed out the window, leaned over and teased, "You're not still thinking about that President Chai, are you? To be honest, he's quite a decent person."
Wei Yumeng gave her a helpless look. "I know he's not bad, but who am I supposed to think about when I already have Zhan Mohan?"
"Yes, yes, your Zhan is the best man in the world, and no one can replace him in your heart," Mu Linjing said with exaggerated emphasis.
"You..." Wei Yumeng smiled and shook her head.
As she spoke, she looked over at Zhan Mohan, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Zhan Yichen, and her face softened with tenderness.
In fact, she had later asked Zhan Mohan if he had truly intended to divorce her if Zhan Yichen hadn't appeared.
But Zhan Mohan had shaken his head. "I never thought about divorcing you. The cold war at that time was just to give us both some time to cool down. And if I had really divorced you, then perhaps no other woman would ever hold the same place in my heart as you do."
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but lower her head to look at the red wine glass in her hand, swirling it. The surface of the wine seemed to mirror the turbulent emotions she had felt when she heard those words.
In reality, all of them had gathered at the old Zhan family residence today, which was arranged by Grandpa Zhan.
He said it was to completely put the past behind them and to welcome Zhan Yichen back to the country, so he had organized a family reunion at home to strengthen the bonds between family members.
Although Wei Yumeng felt that some things couldn't be resolved with just one gathering, she naturally wouldn't voice her thoughts directly.
On the other side, Grandpa Zhan watched everyone with a smile, no longer possessing the imposing demeanor he had when he had asked Wei Yumeng to leave.
"Seeing you all so harmonious, this old man is finally at ease."
"Grandpa, Grandpa, this orange is so sweet," Zhan Shiqing said, holding out an orange to Grandpa Zhan.
Grandpa Zhan took a bite with a chuckle.
In fact, for him, whatever he did was solely for the well-being of the Zhan family.
Wei Yumeng's gaze shifted to Chen Yutong. Her feelings towards Chen Yutong now were complex; she couldn't let her guard down, yet she also couldn't reveal her true attitude.
Fortunately, they no longer lived in the old Zhan family residence, so they didn't have to see each other every day.
Chen Yutong was initially talking to Zhan Yangyi when she suddenly felt a gaze upon her. She turned her head and saw Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng simply smiled at her and then continued her conversation with Mu Linjing.
Mu Linjing, on the other hand, had no desire to speak with Chen Yutong. She already knew what kind of person Chen Yutong was and didn't want to get involved with her.
"I say… Yu… no, Sister-in-law, are you really going to just let her off the hook like this?" Mu Linjing said, still sounding a bit indignant.
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "We're not letting her off the hook, it's just that the time isn't right yet. We must act in a way that ensures Big Brother's happiness first."
Hearing this, Mu Linjing pouted. Regardless of whether it was Zhan Yangyi or Chen Yutong, her impression of them wasn't very good.
She even found it rather peculiar that Zhan Yangyi, who had once liked Wei Yumeng, had married Chen Yutong, who liked Zhan Mohan.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about our affairs," Wei Yumeng said, picking up her wine glass and clinking it with Mu Linjing's.
Chen Yutong felt that Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing were discussing her, as Mu Linjing kept glancing at her while they talked, which was an almost subconscious reaction.
She looked at Zhan Yichen and Zhan Mohan with a probing gaze. In fact, for her, Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng getting back together seemed to have happened too quickly.
According to her plan, Zhan Mohan shouldn't have been able to let it go so easily after seeing Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu together.
And their reconciliation was too sudden, as if… someone suddenly understood something, or as if someone had played a role in it.
Zhan Yangyi, seeing Chen Yutong's serious expression, couldn't help but ask, "Yutong, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that it's too sudden for Mohan and Yumeng to have reconciled. And Grandpa doesn't seem like the type to suddenly change his mind."
Zhan Yangyi explained, "You wouldn't know this, but I heard that Yichen investigated the misunderstanding between Yumeng and Chai Yanyu. He then explained it to Mohan, and that's when Mohan suddenly understood."
"Misunderstanding?" Chen Yutong asked, full of doubt.
"I heard Grandpa say that Chai Yanyu had feelings for Yumeng and thought our Zhan family had bullied her, so he pretended to be involved with Yumeng. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything is fine."
After hearing Zhan Yangyi's words, Chen Yutong was at a loss for words. She had only intended to have Zhan Mohan see Wei Yumeng and Chai Yanyu together, but she had overlooked that Chai Yanyu was also a man of considerable depth.
However, fortunately, the development of events hadn't significantly impacted her plan, even though the final outcome was a failure.
"Then it seems this time it's all Yichen's credit," Chen Yutong said, her gaze fixed on Zhan Yichen.
In her eyes, Zhan Yichen was the culprit who had thwarted her plan. How could she stand by and do nothing?
Her objective had not yet been achieved, and she would find another opportunity to act. She certainly didn't want Zhan Yichen to disrupt her plans a second time.
Zhan Yichen, who was talking to Zhan Mohan, suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. He quickly turned his head but found nothing.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Mohan asked.
"Nothing, perhaps just a feeling," Zhan Yichen said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
But Zhan Mohan glanced in the direction of Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong. He knew that as long as Chen Yutong was still a threat, trouble would inevitably arise in the future.
This family reunion appeared to be warm and harmonious, but no one knew that each person already had their own thoughts and plans.
That evening, Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong returned home. Zhan Yangyi had drunk a lot with Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yichen, so he went to bed soon after they got back.
Chen Yutong, however, began preparing for her next plan.
Just as she had intended before, no matter what, she had to teach Zhan Yichen a lesson and let him know not to meddle in other people's affairs in the future.
With this thought, Chen Yutong dialed her assistant's number again.
"Hello? Help me do one more thing."
