Seeing Xin Ran's anxious expression, Zhan Mohan's face instantly darkened.
Xin Ran walked straight to the hospital bed, still a little out of breath, "Yumeng, how are you, are you and the baby okay?"
Wei Yumeng nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing them converse as if no one else was around, Zhan Mohan's jealousy flared instantly, and his tone became sarcastic.
"You have the nerve to show up. The baby in her belly was almost lost. Where were you then?"
Speaking of this, Xin Ran also became angry, scoffing, "Zhan Mohan, you have the nerve to question me? Don't think I don't know who kidnapped her. Can you dare to pat your chest and touch your conscience, and say you have nothing to do with this matter?"
This was indeed Wen Yulan's doing, and Zhan Mohan didn't intend to hide anything. Moreover, even without an investigation, he could guess who was involved.
Xin Ran's words were irrefutable, but even so, his self-reproach was buried deep within him, not for others to dig out.
"Yes, this matter is indeed related to me, but the other party's target was the child in her belly!"
He stopped just short of saying it, as it was still difficult for Zhan Mohan to utter the words, "The child in her belly is yours."
As the two of them argued, Wei Yumeng's head throbbed. She said weakly,
"Can you two stop arguing?"
Hearing her helpless tone, Zhan Mohan's voice grew colder, "What, you're still covering for him? Where was he when you were in danger?"
Wei Yumeng wanted to say that Xin Ran had nothing to do with her encountering danger, but in her current state, she couldn't say anything.
What's more, from Zhan Mohan's words, it was clear that his misunderstanding of the two of them was deepening.
However, Wei Yumeng felt that she couldn't blame him for anything, as she herself had practically confirmed their fabricated relationship.
What could she blame Zhan Mohan for?
In the end, she remained silent.
Seeing this, Xin Ran was furious, "Zhan Mohan, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
The man's brows furrowed, his face gloomy, looking like a storm was brewing. He sneered.
"Who do you think you are? She is my wife. Our marital affairs are none of your business as an outsider."
He still didn't know about the divorce certificate and kept calling Wei Yumeng his wife.
Everyone knew the truth, yet he was kept in the dark. But his words, which were subjectively not wrong, sounded to Wei Yumeng and Xin Ran as if he was unilaterally controlling their marital relationship.
Whether it would end or continue was up to him to decide.
Xin Ran couldn't help but feel angry for Wei Yumeng, "Heh, husband and wife? Zhan Mohan, do you think..."
Xin Ran's words were interrupted by a ringtone, Zhan Mohan's phone. He intended to hang up, but seeing it was Grandpa Zhan's call, Zhan Mohan answered.
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"
On the other end, the old man's tone was not good, "Yes, I don't care where you are now, come back immediately."
Without allowing him to say anything else, the old man hung up. Clearly, the old man was in a bad mood, and something had likely happened at home, concerning Wei Yumeng.
Zhan Mohan had no choice but to go back.
He glanced at the red-faced, angry Xin Ran, picked up his jacket from the chair without a word, and strode out of the ward.
When the sound of the door closing echoed, Wei Yumeng flinched. Was he expressing his displeasure this way?
Xin Ran, seeing her shoulders tremble, thought she was frightened by Zhan Mohan and immediately sat down to comfort her gently.
"Yumeng, don't think too much about it. You have the baby in your belly. If you're upset, it will affect your and the baby's health."
Wei Yumeng shook her head, but a light smile appeared on her face, "Actually, he does care about me."
Even knowing the child wasn't his, he was still willing to risk his life to save her. Moreover, he had already explained his absence that night. Wei Yumeng felt that a heavy burden had finally been lifted from her heart.
However, at this moment, Zhan Mohan's heart was not at ease. As he drove, he hit the steering wheel several times, but this form of venting seemed to have little effect.
Thinking about facing his grandfather, he irritably tugged at his tie.
In fact, about an hour earlier, when they had just arrived at the hospital, Wen Yulan had also come before Grandpa Zhan.
"Dad, you have no idea how much Mohan is still protecting that woman!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's anger had already been half-ignited.
"What, Mohan is still protecting that woman?"
Although Grandpa Zhan was investigating whose child Wei Yumeng was carrying, even if it was confirmed to be a Zhan family child, it didn't mean he had no objections to Wei Yumeng herself.
So, upon hearing Wen Yulan's words, his eyebrows shot up in anger.
Seeing his expression, Wen Yulan was secretly pleased, knowing the old man would react this way.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Wen Yulan naturally would not tell the truth. She had already devised a story on her way there.
"Originally, I wanted to teach Wei Yumeng a lesson so she wouldn't pester A'han anymore. Who knew A'han would get the news and rush over to protect her, taking her away from me, and even saying some harsh words. No matter what, I am his elder. For the sake of a woman, him doing this is a bit too much..."
At this point, her face was full of grievance, and she sighed appropriately, "I know A'han likes her, but I didn't expect him to be so foolish. Wei Yumeng has already betrayed him, yet he's still protecting her. Dad, now that they're back together, what can be done?"
In the old man's view, Wei Yumeng had caused much harm, but the matter of offspring was of great importance. Until it was cleared up, the child could not have any accidents.
However, he still had to say some harsh words first, as he knew what kind of person Wen Yulan was.
"The matter of the child in Wei Yumeng's belly hasn't been decided yet. It might even be ours from the Zhan family. For now, don't have any ideas about the child in her belly, or else, get out of the Zhan family!"
Upon hearing the old man say this, Wen Yulan panicked. She feared that if the old man truly found out the truth, she wouldn't have a good life.
"Dad, where did you hear that? Didn't they both do a paternity test?" she feigned ignorance, waiting for the old man to show her the test report.
"This is what Wei Yumeng gave me herself. I will investigate this matter thoroughly before making a decision."
Looking at the paternity test report, Wen Yulan's first reaction was that it seemed genuine, and she became even more flustered.
However, she still poured out the words she had prepared into the old man's ears.
"Dad, this Wei Yumeng has always been a deceiver. With A'han's excellent conditions, how could she possibly give up? This thing must be fake."
The old man raised his hand to interrupt her. He had already heard many similar things, but he only believed what he investigated himself.
However, remembering that Zhan Mohan was still with Wei Yumeng, he still called Zhan Mohan back.
Not long after, Zhan Mohan knocked on the study door. When the old man let him in and he saw Wen Yulan was also there, he could roughly guess what was going on.
"A'han, you have disappointed me greatly." The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with displeasure. "I told you to break up with that woman, but what have you done!"
Zhan Mohan looked at Wen Yulan, "What, Grandpa, do you think it's right for me to stand by and do nothing while a pregnant woman's child is casually aborted?"
The old man looked at Wen Yulan, his gaze flickering.
Wen Yulan was also startled and, fearing the old man would question her, quickly said, "A'han, it was for your sake, for the Zhan family. Even if you don't accept it, you can't slander my good intentions!"
"Is that so?" Zhan Mohan sneered. "Does the Zhan family's reputation have to be built on bullying a defenseless pregnant woman? Then I am truly ashamed of it!"
"Zhan Mohan!"
The old man roared, striking the table heavily with his palm!
Zhan Mohan's face tensed, showing no signs of backing down.
Seeing him like this, the old man didn't know how to reprimand him. On some level, he hadn't said anything wrong, he had merely disobeyed his wishes.
"A'han, there can be no outcome for you two."
