The video Fang Xun sent was indeed from a different angle but the same time period as the one Mu Linjing saw. The two stared intently at the screen, and as it neared the end, Mu Linjing pressed pause.
She pointed to the phone screen and exclaimed, "Yu Meng, is that Jiang Siyu?"
Both of them were too familiar with Jiang Siyu to need further confirmation. Wei Yu Meng recognized her instantly. This was likely what Fang Xun wanted to tell them.
Seeing Wei Yu Meng's ashen face, Mu Linjing spoke cautiously, "Yu Meng, let Fang Xun investigate first. Don't get upset; be careful not to affect the baby."
Her words pulled Wei Yu Meng back from the brink of an outburst. Recalling the danger from yesterday, she took several deep breaths to calm herself.
That's right, she couldn't affect the baby anymore.
Seeing her like this, Mu Linjing was terrified. She quickly pulled her attention to other things, hoping to distract her from the upsetting matters.
These things should be left for Zhan Mohan to investigate. Furthermore, if Jiang Siyu was truly involved, Zhan Mohan would be the one to handle it.
Meanwhile, Zhan Mohan was summoned back to the Zhan family by Grandfather Zhan because of this incident. As soon as he entered, he saw Grandfather Zhan sitting on the sofa with a dark expression.
Zhan Mohan knew exactly why. He stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, you were looking for me."
Grandfather Zhan snorted, "You still remember you have a grandfather? If I didn't call you back, were you planning to never set foot in this house again?"
Zhan Mohan simply pursed his lips and remained silent. His grandfather was likely still angry about that day. He had indeed acted improperly by leaving, so he offered no rebuttal, hoping his grandfather would feel better.
Seeing his willingness to be scolded, Grandfather Zhan became even angrier. This child he had raised himself, for the sake of a woman, wouldn't even argue when being reprimanded. It was as if he had gone mad.
"I heard Wei Yu Meng almost caused us to lose the Zhan family's child. Do you have any explanation for this?"
Upon mentioning Wei Yu Meng, he finally reacted, "Grandpa, since you've already heard, you must also know that Yu Meng is the victim. Therefore, I hope you won't blame her. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."
"If not her, then who? She's pregnant and still so careless. How can I rest assured? When she's discharged from the hospital, bring her back to stay at home until she gives birth, lest anything else happens."
Hearing his grandfather's tone, it sounded as if he intended to keep Wei Yu Meng under house arrest until she gave birth. If that were the case, the child might truly be in danger.
So he directly refused, "I will take good care of her and the child. Yesterday's incident was my negligence. Blame me if you must."
His unwavering protection infuriated Grandfather Zhan, who slammed his hand on the table, "Zhan Mohan, how much longer will you protect this woman? If one day she really causes the child to be lost, will you still shield her and go against me?"
Having reached this point, Zhan Mohan might as well state his position more clearly, "Grandpa, if there ever comes a time when only one of the mother or child can be saved, my choice will have to be her."
Hearing this, the old man nearly fainted with anger, "This is the good child I raised with my own hands."
Zhan Mohan remained silent, but his expression did not waver. It was clear that his stance was firm. No matter what Grandfather Zhan said today, his words were set: Wei Yu Meng was more important than the child.
As the grandfather and grandson were at an impasse, Feng Shiming happened to return. Seeing the two of them red-faced and angry, anyone could guess it was about Wei Yu Meng.
Zhan Mohan's current obsession with Wei Yu Meng was so extreme that even his grandfather's opposition was futile.
Therefore, she decided not to waste any more breath; it would be useless and would only earn her Zhan Mohan's resentment.
Jiang Siyu's expulsion had already served as a warning to Feng Shiming. Continuing to openly oppose Wei Yu Meng would bring her no benefit.
So, she planned to sneak upstairs without anyone noticing. She knew that no matter how powerful Grandfather Zhan was, he had never won against Zhan Mohan on the matter of Wei Yu Meng, and she didn't need to rush to be cannon fodder.
However, Grandfather Zhan's sharp eyes spotted her as she was about to go upstairs and called her over.
He had intended to hear Feng Shiming express her dissatisfaction with Wei Yu Meng. However, Zhan Mohan preempted him, "Feng Shiming, you fired employees as you pleased while I was away. Do you want to be demoted?"
Upon hearing this, the old man stood up abruptly, "Zhan Mohan, what do you mean? It was I who told Shiming to dismiss Wei Yu Meng. Are you implying you're not satisfied with me?"
Zhan Mohan had indeed not known that Grandfather Zhan had ordered it. However, now that the conversation had reached this point, he could only continue.
"Grandpa, since you've said so, I'll be blunt. Zhan Corporation is not a company where employees are dismissed arbitrarily, at least not under my leadership. I hope such things don't happen again in the future. Even you do not have the right to do so."
Neither of them was willing to back down. Feng Shiming stood between them, her eyes darting back and forth. She couldn't afford to offend either of them and felt extremely awkward.
She had initially intended to remain silent, but she noticed Grandfather Zhan staring at her, seemingly urging her to speak. With no other choice, she said with a forced smile, "Brother Mohan, even if you're angry, you shouldn't have let Sister Siyu go. Her work ability is evident. Doing this will cause the company a loss. To go this far for Wei Yu Meng is really not worth it."
Grandfather Zhan was unaware that Zhan Mohan had prevented Jiang Siyu from returning to the company. Hearing Feng Shiming's words, his eyebrows trembled with anger, "You'd even disregard the company for that woman? What did Siyu do wrong to deserve such severe punishment? In the end, isn't it all because of Wei Yu Meng? Did she make you do this?"
Regarding Jiang Siyu, Zhan Mohan was too lazy to explain further. He knew that what his grandfather said about losses to the company was secondary. The main reason was that he liked Jiang Siyu and disliked Wei Yu Meng.
Since it was all subjective judgment, his actions were not unreasonable.
"Grandpa, I don't want to say much about this. The company will not lose a single cent without Jiang Siyu. Don't you have confidence in me?"
Although Grandfather Zhan was old, he could still tell that Zhan Mohan was changing the subject. "I'm just asking you, even if Siyu made a mistake, does she deserve such severe punishment? In the end, isn't it for Wei Yu Meng? Did she make you do this?"
Hearing his grandfather constantly targeting Wei Yu Meng, he finally lost his patience. "Grandpa, I am in charge of Zhan Corporation now. I have this right, and I don't need to seek your approval."
