"Miss Jiang, it's rumored that you haven't worked for any other company since leaving the Zhan Corporation. Is your temporary investment in this project related to your personal matters?"
As soon as she entered the venue, Wei Yumeng heard a reporter asking a question. Following the sound, she saw Jiang Siyu being interviewed.
Wei Yumeng was unaware of this matter and her face showed unconcealed surprise, "Why is she here?"
Zhan Mohan simply said, "She's temporarily invested in this project, reportedly putting in more than half of her net worth."
Although his explanation was brief, Wei Yumeng thought a lot. As the largest shareholder of the project, Zhan Mohan must have known about this long ago. Jiang Siyu's appearance here today was undoubtedly with his tacit consent.
He had just expelled Jiang Siyu from the Zhan Corporation, and then tacitly allowed her to invest heavily in this project. Wei Yumeng had a good guess of what Zhan Mohan was planning.
She remained composed, quietly following behind Zhan Mohan, listening to how Jiang Siyu was handling the media.
"This project has good prospects, and everyone in the industry wants a piece of the pie. Of course, I am one of them. I have always clearly separated work and life, so this decision has nothing to do with my personal feelings."
Such a high-sounding answer made Wei Yumeng sneer inwardly. This woman truly could lie without batting an eye. If she could separate work and life, then there would be no one in this world who couldn't.
Following Zhan Mohan onto the stage, Wei Yumeng walked to Jiang Siyu's side and said, "Excuse me, you're standing in Mrs. Zhan's spot. Please move aside."
When Jiang Siyu looked at her, she noticed that Wei Yumeng was very different from her usual self, clearly having made an effort to dress up. She immediately felt that Wei Yumeng wanted to outshine her in front of everyone.
Wei Yumeng stood tall and chest out, forcing Jiang Siyu to move from her original position and make room for her.
Not to mention that Wei Yumeng didn't know Jiang Siyu would be here today. If she had known, she would have dressed even more stunningly, as no one likes to lose face in front of a love rival.
As soon as she appeared, the camera flashes at the scene lit up incessantly. Zhan Mohan held an unshakable position in this circle, and as his wife, Wei Yumeng was naturally the most dazzling woman in the entire venue, overshadowing Jiang Siyu was only natural.
Seeing Wei Yumeng calmly facing the cameras, Jiang Siyu couldn't help but clench her fists. Beside her, she gritted her teeth and warned, "Wei Yumeng, don't forget, you and A'Han have divorced and haven't remarried yet. If the reporters here find out, let's see how you explain it."
Her intention was of course to threaten Wei Yumeng, but Wei Yumeng's expression was calm. She also responded in a low voice, "Then you can say it. Let's see how Zhan Mohan handles it then."
Her confidence stemmed from Zhan Mohan's absolute devotion to her. Jiang Siyu understood this principle in her heart and could only suppress her anger. She knew that if she did anything to Wei Yumeng in such a setting, Zhan Mohan would also make her very embarrassed.
Moreover, she had other plans now and had to endure.
Seeing that Jiang Siyu said no more, Wei Yumeng felt immensely satisfied. They hadn't caught Jiang Siyu in any major wrongdoing yet, so she would collect some interest first. There would always be a day to settle the score.
"Mrs. Zhan, it's rumored that you had some conflicts with Mr. Zhan previously. Are you both appearing together today to dispel the rumors?"
The reporters below started asking questions again. Wei Yumeng responded with ease, "To say we're here to break rumors would seem too deliberate. I think I'm just an ordinary wife accompanying my excellent husband to his new project launch. Rumors stop with the wise; ungrounded rumors will eventually be dispelled on their own. These baseless things won't affect our lives."
"There were rumors before that you had a close relationship with Mr. Xin. Now that Mr. Xin is cooperating with Mr. Zhan, what are your thoughts on this?"
Wei Yumeng knew it was inevitable that Xin Ran would be brought up today. However, her relationship with Xin Ran was proper, and she had nothing to feel guilty about.
"Mr. Xin and I are just good friends. As for their cooperation, I can only say that I will always unconditionally support my husband's decisions."
As she finished speaking, Zhan Mohan's interview also concluded, and he walked over.
"How is it? You don't have to answer questions you don't want to."
Zhan Mohan's tone was doting, and he didn't care about the reporters present. After all, he had reached his current position to give the person beside him the right to refuse things they disliked.
To Jiang Siyu, this was undoubtedly his favoritism towards Wei Yumeng, just like her own uncontrollable obsession with him.
Watching the two of them acting affectionately as if no one else were around, while she felt like a clown discarded in a dark corner, unnoticed. The rumors she had deliberately spread before now felt like slaps in the face, reminding her that Zhan Mohan would never belong to her.
"Mr. Zhan, regarding your cooperation with Mr. Xin this time, do you have any thoughts?"
With Zhan Mohan present, they dared not trouble Wei Yumeng, so they shifted the topic to work. If they could glean some insight into Zhan Mohan's attitude towards Xin Ran from his words, it would lead to another lengthy report.
Zhan Mohan stated directly, "The Zhan Corporation has invested considerable manpower, material resources, and financial capital into this project. The reason for choosing Mr. Xin as a partner is naturally because we value his ability and character. I believe this cooperation will not result in any losses for the Zhan Corporation. I trust my judgment in this matter."
Jiang Siyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice upon hearing Zhan Mohan's evaluation of Xin Ran. "A'Han, you forced me to do this. If you were willing to give up Wei Yumeng, I wouldn't have had to scheme against you like this. It's just that you insisted on choosing a woman who isn't right for you."
Jiang Siyu considered Xin Ran her colleague, and the more Zhan Mohan trusted him, the harder he would eventually fall.
Wei Yumeng was unaware of their plans. Hearing Zhan Mohan's words, she knew he was no longer bothered by the matter of Xin Ran, and a heavy burden was lifted from her heart.
The interviews soon concluded, and the group posed for a commemorative photo. Jiang Siyu stayed by Zhan Mohan's side the entire time, but Zhan Mohan's gaze was always on Wei Yumeng. He hadn't spoken a word to Jiang Siyu since entering the venue, as if they had never met before.
This made Jiang Siyu very angry. When the event ended, Zhan Mohan immediately left with Wei Yumeng.
Watching their car drive further and further away, Jiang Siyu stood rooted to the spot, clenching her fists. She had gambled her entire fortune this time and was determined to make Zhan Mohan taste failure. At that time, Zhan Mohan himself would choose to leave Wei Yumeng. This man was worth such a risk for her.
