Zhan Mohan didn't want to say anything more. If every return was just to argue about the same topic endlessly, then returning was meaningless.
He would rather spend more time with Wei Yumeng.
After leaving the Zhan family and getting into the car, he finally opened his phone to check the messages from Fang Xun.
After browsing, he called Fang Xun back, "Keep investigating. Get to the bottom of this matter for me. Also, keep an eye on any moves Jiang Siyu makes."
Obviously, even though it was just a guess, he had already labeled Jiang Siyu as a suspect.
No matter how you looked at it, Jiang Siyu was a very suspicious target.
After hanging up, he drove to the hospital. Perhaps because he was tired from arguing with Old Master Zhan, he was now eager to see Wei Yumeng, as if if he wasn't by her side, she would be harmed at any moment.
As soon as he entered the ward, Wei Yumeng was happily chatting with Mu Linjing. Seeing her return, Mu Linjing knew it was time for her to leave. Perfect, she still had some outstanding debts to collect.
She wondered if Zhan Yichen, that busy bee, had forgotten about this debt, so she decided to call him to ask.
Even a fly's leg is meat, and this wasn't a small piece of meat for her.
When the call was answered, Zhan Yichen was about to have lunch. It was only when the creditor came to collect that he remembered such a thing.
"I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm hungry anyway, you pick the place, I'll treat you to a meal."
Hearing him say that, Mu Linjing didn't stand on ceremony. She directly picked a place and took a taxi. However, the meal money was naturally not included in the debt.
When they arrived, Mu Linjing saw Zhan Yichen at the entrance as soon as she got out of the car. He chivalrously opened the car door for her. Apart from his occasional vanity, Mu Linjing thought he was quite nice.
"Order whatever you want today, it's on me."
Hearing him pat his chest and say so generously, Mu Linjing almost thought she was the one who owed money and hadn't paid it back. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "If you're so rich, why don't you pay the debt first, so I don't have to worry about you skipping out on the bill when we eat."
When had Zhan Yichen ever been suspected like this? He was so angry that smoke came out of his ears. He grabbed her arm and pulled her inside, "I'll show you today if I'll skip out on the bill."
Forcibly seated, Mu Linjing sheepishly ordered a table full of dishes she usually didn't dare to think about or had never even seen. That's right, she wanted to bleed him dry.
Zhan Yichen didn't know that he had willingly become a sucker. He even urged her to order a few more dishes. She almost thought he was some kind of intellectually challenged child.
Fortunately, Mu Linjing was still conscientious. If she ordered any more, she would feel sorry for Zhan Yichen.
"Why aren't you taking these? With your build, won't these just get stuck between your teeth?"
Mu Linjing almost spat a mouthful of blood on his face. She had just felt guilty for being too kind.
If she had the chance next time, she would definitely eat all his cards dry.
"Since you're so generous, why don't you give me the cash equivalent?"
She kindly offered her suggestion, but Zhan Yichen smacked her on the head. "Why are you thinking so much? Should I just give you my card directly?"
Hearing this, Mu Linjing smiled, "How could I possibly accept that?" While extending her hand, as if as long as he dared to put the card there, she would take it and run.
Zhan Yichen was speechless. "Woman, do you even know the meaning of the word shame?"
She withdrew her hand, pouted. She didn't care for it.
But the next second, Zhan Yichen waved his black card in front of her. "This card can only be given to my girlfriend. Why don't you consider it?"
"Pfft!"
Mu Linjing spat on him to sober him up. "Unless my brain is malfunctioning."
Zhan Yichen wiped his face and put the card away. "Dream on. I'm not interested."
The two of them exchanged insults, back and forth, and ended up eating almost all the dishes on the table. Mu Linjing leaned back in her chair, feeling extremely full and uncomfortable. "Wait for me, I'm going to the restroom."
Seeing her walking with her hand on her stomach, like she was pregnant, Zhan Yichen couldn't help but chuckle.
The girls he usually interacted with would eat like a blade of grass and pretend to eat delicately, which he found exhausting for them.
This Mu Linjing was more real. Seeing her ravenous eating style, she was truly unique.
Mu Linjing, who had just finished using the restroom, sneezed several times. She rubbed her nose. Someone must be talking about her.
After washing her hands, she saw someone sitting at her table from afar. The back of the person looked somewhat familiar.
She walked closer and took a closer look. It was Wei Jin.
This woman was so quick to be out and about again. It seemed her injury had healed, and she was looking for a new target.
Obviously, the new target was this second young master Zhan. Judging by her attire, she knew he was wealthy.
Wei Jin must have seen this and approached him.
"Oh no, my car really broke down. Can you give me a ride?"
Just as she was about to go over and drag this woman away, she heard her speaking to Zhan Yichen in a fake, squeaky voice. Mu Linjing, who was already full, almost ran back to the restroom covering her mouth.
Looking at Zhan Yichen's face, it couldn't be called disgusted, but it was close.
He hated encountering women like this the most. If they didn't provoke him, they would cling to him. If they did provoke him, it would be even worse. He probably wouldn't be able to get rid of her without losing a layer of skin.
He didn't expect to be so unlucky just by coming out for a meal. Seeing Mu Linjing return, he seemed to see a savior. He stood up and pulled Mu Linjing over.
Mu Linjing, caught off guard, was pulled into his arms. Before she could push him away, she heard him say, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend and I have plans. Please find someone else."
"Girlfriend?"
Mu Linjing and Wei Jin said in unison. Especially Mu Linjing, her mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg. When did she get a boyfriend?
Wei Jin saw her and didn't believe it. "She's your girlfriend? You just found an actress to play the part, didn't you? Even if you wanted to reject someone, you should at least find a reason that's hard to see through."
Seeing the disdain in her eyes, as if Mu Linjing clearly didn't deserve this man, Mu Linjing was furious.
She took the initiative, hooking her arm around Zhan Yichen's. "So what? This is my boyfriend. Are you envious? I've never seen such a shameless person like you, openly trying to seduce someone else's boyfriend. But I clearly remember, 'Uncle' is more your type, isn't it?"
