Wei Jin's face instantly turned pale. She hadn't expected Old Zhang to be so vulgar as to have actually filmed a video.
Chen Mo didn't believe any of this, but when he turned and saw Wei Jin's deathly pale face, his resolute disbelief began to waver. He loosened his grip on Old Zhang's hand, and Old Zhang immediately broke free from his restraint.
He wasn't targeting Chen Mo, but instead went back to tugging at Wei Jin. "You bitch, tell me where you took all the valuable things. Hand them over."
Those things had already been sold to second-hand shops, and they could still sustain him for a few days. Otherwise, in his current situation, even basic necessities would be a problem.
Seeing Wei Jin no longer explaining, Chen Mo understood that Old Zhang wasn't making baseless accusations.
"Wei Jin, is what he's saying the truth?"
Wei Jin looked at Chen Mo, then at Old Zhang who was still desperately dragging her, and then at Wei Yumeng on the other side. She felt that Wei Yumeng had deliberately come to watch her suffer.
Now that Chen Mo knew everything, she no longer hid anything. She shed her pretense and forcefully broke free from Old Zhang's grip.
"Fine, you can show them whatever you want. I don't care. I'm telling you, I'm only with you for your money. Otherwise, why do you think I'd be interested in you at your age?"
She was now completely resigned to her fate, and Chen Mo's expression turned ugly upon hearing her words.
"So, you were just using me too."
It was less a question directed at Wei Jin and more a statement of fact he was making to himself. Wei Jin showed no shame. "That's right. Aren't you with me because you find me beautiful?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He had truly liked Wei Jin, but now he realized that all he liked was the mask she wore. In reality, this woman's inner self was dirty, vain, selfish, and utterly undeserving of affection.
He was a businessman and knew best when to cut his losses. He immediately broke up with Wei Jin.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Whoever you are with is none of my business. You can go. I don't want to see you again."
Wei Jin looked at him but didn't leave. She knew that if she left now, Old Zhang would drag her away, and all her jewelry and bags would be lost.
Since there were so many people here, she didn't believe Old Zhang could do anything to her in front of them all.
Seeing that she refused to leave, Chen Mo directly took out his wallet and placed the money for lunch on the table. "Young Master Zhan, my personal affairs have disrupted this meal today. I will definitely apologize another day. Please excuse me."
Zhan Mohan nodded slightly and watched him leave. Old Zhang and Wei Jin were still at a stalemate, and Wei Jin glared at Wei Yumeng with hatred.
Wei Yumeng merely pouted. "You bring your own troubles upon yourself. You can't blame me for what happened today."
"It must be you. You deliberately arranged this, didn't you?"
Wei Yumeng felt helpless. "If that's what you want to believe, then there's nothing I can do."
She was too lazy to argue with someone like that. She pulled Zhan Mohan out of the restaurant. As for how she and Old Zhang would resolve their financial disputes, Wei Yumeng didn't care.
"How do you feel? Satisfied?" Zhan Mohan asked, wrapping an arm around her waist. Although Old Zhang's appearance was unexpected by everyone, it was clear that with this commotion, Wei Jin could no longer continue to swindle Chen Mo's money. In a sense, this was a considerable loss.
Wei Yumeng chuckled at his question. "It's alright, I feel quite relieved. You didn't arrange this, did you?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "It was a coincidence."
Wei Yumeng then lightly smiled. If he had indeed arranged it to her satisfaction, it wouldn't have been necessary.
She hadn't come today to watch this grand spectacle, nor did she care about the outcome. As long as Wei Jin didn't cause any more trouble, she could pretend she didn't know her.
Changing the subject, Zhan Mohan reached out and touched her stomach. "Are you full?"
"I'm full. I ate with great gusto just now." Especially seeing Wei Jin's face, her appetite was excellent. She was already nine-tenths full.
Since she was full, Zhan Mohan wanted to take her home. She glanced at the time and grabbed his arm. "Aren't you going to the company today?"
Including the few days she was confined by Old Master Zhan, he hadn't been to the company for three or four days. She didn't know how much work had piled up. Wei Yumeng didn't want him to neglect his work just to accompany her. Otherwise, wouldn't she truly become the dead weight Old Master Zhan accused her of being?
Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. It was Fang Xun. "Young Master Zhan, there's an important meeting this afternoon that requires your personal attendance. If you're not coming, should we postpone the time?"
His phone volume was turned up high, and Wei Yumeng could hear clearly. She kept giving him meaningful glances.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile. "No need. It will proceed as scheduled."
Wei Yumeng then smiled with satisfaction. Only after he hung up the phone did she say, "Then you go. I'll take a taxi back."
Saying this, she went to hail a taxi but was pulled back by Zhan Mohan. "You're coming with me."
Without waiting for her to refuse, he directly put her in the car.
He thought about how she had been fired by his grandfather during a period of intense public scrutiny online. She must have endured a lot of unfair treatment when she left.
Zhan Mohan knew the caliber of people in the company. Today, he was bringing Wei Yumeng back to let those who had shamed her see for themselves. Then, who would dare to gossip maliciously in the future?
Wei Yumeng hadn't thought that far ahead. Anyway, she had nothing else to do. Now that the misunderstanding between her and Zhan Mohan was cleared up, many of the problems she had previously worried about had vanished. It was fine for her to go with him.
When the two arrived at the company, they didn't take the private elevator but first went to Wei Yumeng's former department.
Everyone saw Wei Yumeng arriving with him, so naturally, no one would dare to offend her in the future. This included Feng Shiming.
Upon seeing Zhan Mohan so openly bringing Wei Yumeng to the company, Feng Shiming thought for a moment and sent a message to Jiang Siyu. Although she didn't support Jiang Siyu targeting the child in Wei Yumeng's womb, between Wei Yumeng and Jiang Siyu, she naturally stood with Jiang Siyu.
Jiang Siyu had just seen her message when Zhan Mohan brought Wei Yumeng into the office. When she learned that Zhan Mohan would be at the company today, she had even specifically reapplied her makeup. But she hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to be accompanying him.
Because of her pregnancy, Wei Yumeng wore no makeup, and with her advanced stage of pregnancy, her figure was no longer what it used to be. Yet, even so, Zhan Mohan's eyes were solely on her. After entering, he first arranged for her to rest in the lounge and didn't even spare a glance for Jiang Siyu.
