Chai Yanyu didn't know where Wei Yumeng was going, but he could only follow.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in such a situation, he also found the matter rather peculiar.
Chai Yanyu had gone to great lengths to find Wei Yumeng back then.
If Zhan Mohan's sudden appearance was because Pengcheng was Zhan family territory, he should have come earlier to save Wei Yumeng.
Moreover, it was already very close to the Zhan family.
But Zhan Mohan arrived precisely after Chai Yanyu had concluded everything. The timing was too coincidental, as if someone had deliberately arranged for Zhan Mohan to see Wei Yumeng with him.
As he thought of this, Chai Yanyu suddenly understood. If the people who had done those things to Wei Yumeng back then had acted with intent, and then Zhan Mohan was deliberately led there afterward, everything would make sense.
Chai Yanyu frowned. He could completely guess who was behind it. From what he understood now, everything that happened today was arranged by Chen Yutong.
The fact that Chen Yutong and Zhan Mohan were meeting privately indicated their relationship was not simple. Coupled with the current strained relationship between Wei Yumeng and the Zhan family, and the possibility of her being driven out of the Zhan family, Chen Yutong and Zhan Mohan could then be together openly.
Chai Yanyu became even more convinced that his actions just now were correct. Since the Zhan family wanted to get rid of Wei Yumeng, the obstacle, he might as well let her find relief sooner.
Without realizing it, Wei Yumeng arrived at a park. She remembered that because of certain events, she had almost jumped directly into the lake from here.
At that time, Zhan Mohan had told her, "If you don't know how to live, then live for me."
But now that she had lost Zhan Mohan, did that mean she no longer had a reason to live?
By the time Chai Yanyu realized, Wei Yumeng was already standing by the lake.
"Sister! Don't do anything rash. Anything can be resolved. Please don't scare me!"
But Wei Yumeng ignored him, staring blankly at the lake. Her reflection on the water surface shimmered with the ripples, as if she could disappear from this world at any moment.
"Sister..."
Chai Yanyu's voice trembled slightly. He was afraid Wei Yumeng would actually jump, and this was not the outcome he wanted.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and finally turned to look at Chai Yanyu. "Mr. Chai, thank you for your care during this time. Don't take this to heart, as things have turned out this way. I will end all of this soon."
With that, she turned her back to the lake and fell backward.
"Sister!" Chai Yanyu rushed towards Wei Yumeng at the fastest speed possible. "No!"
But by the time he reached the lakeside, Wei Yumeng had already fallen into the water. The nearby passersby were startled.
"Someone fell into the water, help quickly!"
Chai Yanyu jumped into the lake without hesitation. He managed to grab Wei Yumeng, but he felt her desperately trying to break free from him, even scratching Chai Yanyu's hand.
Despite the pain from the wound, Chai Yanyu still brought Wei Yumeng back to land.
"Sister, wake up." Chai Yanyu quickly began performing CPR on Wei Yumeng.
Fortunately, after several chest compressions, Wei Yumeng finally coughed up some lake water.
Although Wei Yumeng opened her eyes, her consciousness was still blurry. Yet, even so, she pushed Chai Yanyu away.
A deep sadness filled Chai Yanyu's eyes. "Sister, I know you're still angry with me. Since that's the case, I agree to give us some time apart."
Chai Yanyu said softly, as if reminding himself.
However, Wei Yumeng needed care in her current state. But he would absolutely not send Wei Yumeng back to the Zhan family. So, he recalled that Wei Yumeng seemed to have a very close girlfriend.
Chai Yanyu found Wei Yumeng's phone and called Mu Linjing using a number from it.
Soon after, Mu Linjing arrived, only to find Wei Yumeng had fainted again.
"Yumeng, Yumeng!" Mu Linjing never expected things to escalate to this point.
"I'll leave her to you. Take good care of her," Chai Yanyu said softly, his gaze never leaving Wei Yumeng.
Mu Linjing had many questions. "Who are you? What exactly is going on?"
As soon as Mu Linjing spoke, she thought of a corresponding person. Could this be Chai Yanyu, who was rumored to be involved with Wei Yumeng?
But what could Chai Yanyu say to Mu Linjing? He simply instructed her, "In any case, do not hand her over to the Zhan family easily."
Seeing that Chai Yanyu didn't want to elaborate, Mu Linjing didn't press further. Together, they helped Wei Yumeng into the car and took her back to Mu Linjing's home.
After Mu Linjing settled Wei Yumeng in, she could still see Chai Yanyu downstairs from the window, looking worried and gazing in the direction of Wei Yumeng's room.
Mu Linjing couldn't help but sigh. Although she had no particular opinion of Chai Yanyu, she felt that he at least genuinely cared for Wei Yumeng.
But why didn't Chai Yanyu want Wei Yumeng to return to the Zhan family?
Thinking this, Mu Linjing also felt relieved. But it was fortunate that Chai Yanyu didn't know she was also a daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, otherwise, Wei Yumeng might have been sent to an unknown place.
Although Mu Linjing and Wei Yumeng were close enough to call each other by their first names in private, the fact that Wei Yumeng was her sister-in-law would never change. And since this matter involved the Zhan family, she had to intervene.
With that thought, she took out her phone and made a call.
"Wife? Why are you calling at this hour?"
Hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Mu Linjing felt more at ease. "Yichen, I think you have to come back and take a look this time."
Zhan Yichen heard the heavy tone in Mu Linjing's voice and knew that something must have happened at home.
He had gone abroad to expand his business with Mu Linjing. If it weren't for Mu Linjing's concern for Wei Yumeng, he wouldn't have let her stay in the country alone.
"Something has indeed happened. Zhan Mohan is going to divorce Yumeng."
Since Mu Linjing was also somewhat annoyed by Zhan Mohan's actions, she didn't hesitate to use his full name.
"What?" Zhan Yichen found it hard to believe. Even though he hadn't been in the country for some time, he was quite certain about the feelings between Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan.
If it had escalated to the point of divorce, it seemed this matter was indeed not simple.
"How about this, I'll arrange my company affairs today and book a flight back as soon as possible."
Mu Linjing nodded. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you to come back with the baby."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Linjing felt a little more settled. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to handle this situation.
