Zhan Mohan was also furious. When people are extremely angry, they turn their words into daggers, stabbing at the other person without thinking about how they had come this far together.
He indulged her words: "Yes, Jiang Siyu at least won't be ambiguous with other men like you. At least she'll think of me for everything. What about you, Wei Yumeng? If it weren't for my one-sided persistence until now, you probably would have given up on me long ago?"
Everyone says that a relationship only has meaning if it's a mutual effort, not one-sided love.
In those unknown pasts, this woman had no idea how much pressure she had endured. Regardless of how much the people around her opposed, regardless of what they said about her, he had resolutely chosen her.
Just because he didn't come home last night, she was now arguing with him. Her heart truly felt chilled.
Wei Yumeng was pregnant, making her emotions more sensitive than usual. Coupled with the current situation, she had no choice but to be stubborn.
She was not the type to back down, even though she loved Zhan Mohan very much.
"Fine, then go find Jiang Siyu. You two have a history anyway, don't you? It'll be easier for you to get along than with me."
Fang Xun stood a distance away, watching them quarrel. He wanted to go up and explain to Wei Yumeng.
"Madam, actually last night, President Zhan..."
"Fang Xun, shut up!"
Zhan Mohan roared, clearly not wanting Fang Xun to tell her the truth. Since she didn't believe him, any explanation was meaningless. It was like when he himself, no matter how Wei Yumeng told him nothing happened between her and Xin Ran, he still cared in his heart.
Being yelled at by Zhan Mohan, Fang Xun dared not say more, afraid of losing his job. He could only retreat.
Seeing that Zhan Mohan wouldn't even let Fang Xun explain, Wei Yumeng became even more convinced that even if nothing happened between him and Jiang Siyu, their relationship was definitely not simple.
Zhan Mohan's lungs felt like they were about to explode from anger, yet he couldn't do anything to her. If he didn't care, she probably wouldn't be standing in front of him unharmed.
At this moment, his phone rang again. He took it out and his brows furrowed. Wei Yumeng saw it was Jiang Siyu calling.
A hint of mockery appeared in her eyes: "If you really had nothing going on, why is she calling you now? If I remember correctly, your collaboration has ended too. She has no relationship with the Zhan Group anymore."
Between a man and a woman, if it wasn't about feelings, why would they spend a night together and start contacting each other the next morning? Anyone would be suspicious.
Seeing him hesitate to answer, Wei Yumeng let out a scoff. "Why aren't you answering?"
Zhan Mohan really wasn't in the mood to answer the phone, not out of guilt. But Wei Yumeng's provocation made him feel that not answering would be losing face.
He slid to answer the call. Although it wasn't on speakerphone, he and Wei Yumeng were standing too close, and Jiang Siyu's voice came clearly from the phone.
"Ahan, your tie is still on my bed. Should I bring it over to you, or will you come pick it up another day?"
These few words, crystal clear, fell into Wei Yumeng's ears without missing a beat.
Her inner feelings at that moment could no longer be described as shock. The disappointment was like a sharp blade piercing her most sensitive spot, the pain almost suffocating her.
Zhan Mohan also hadn't expected Jiang Siyu to call at this time or ask him such a question. His tie, he noticed now, was indeed missing.
He had left in a hurry, more worried about Wei Yumeng.
Jiang Siyu waited for a long time without a response from Zhan Mohan and couldn't help but ask again.
"Ahan, are you listening?"
Zhan Mohan snapped back to attention: "I got it. No rush, I'll pick it up another day. I'll hang up now."
Jiang Siyu didn't dwell on it, replied with an "Mm" and hung up the phone.
The atmosphere between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng seemed to have plummeted to freezing point. Neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
A moment later, Wei Yumeng managed to calm her emotions slightly before speaking: "Go get your tie. I'm leaving now."
Zhan Mohan seemed at a loss for words for a moment. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Wei Yumeng found Mu Linjing, her expression surprisingly calm, which caught Mu Linjing off guard.
She held Wei Yumeng's arm, full of worry.
"Yumeng, didn't it go well?"
"It fell apart. We'll talk about it later. Let's go."
Wei Yumeng pulled her, ready to cross the road. Her speed left Mu Linjing stunned.
"Yumeng, what about President Zhan..."
"Don't worry about him." Didn't he have a tie left at Jiang Siyu's bed? What else was there to talk about?
Mu Linjing was thus pulled by Wei Yumeng across the street, and they hailed a taxi to leave.
Seeing Wei Yumeng leave, Zhan Mohan's eyes reddened, and a dark cloud of gloom settled on his handsome brow.
Fang Xun watched both of them, feeling anxious for them.
"President Zhan, Madam has left."
Zhan Mohan roared impatiently: "I have eyes, I saw it. You don't need to tell me!"
Fang Xun flinched in fear and didn't dare to argue with Zhan Mohan anymore.
As Wei Yumeng got into the car, Chu Zi'an's call came again. She slid to answer.
"Got it sorted?"
"I need to meet you. Are you free now?"
This was not a small matter, and it needed to be clarified, otherwise, they wouldn't know how to proceed.
Wei Yumeng thought that since things with Zhan Mohan couldn't be resolved quickly, it was better to handle this first.
"Okay, send me the address. I'm coming over now."
Chu Zi'an was a bit surprised: "So readily."
"Stop the nonsense, send the address quickly."
"Alright, alright."
After hanging up, Wei Yumeng quickly received the address and told the driver in front.
"Please take me to Alba Plaza."
The driver quickly turned the car around.
Hearing her intentions, Mu Linjing could roughly guess, but she still found it hard to believe.
"Yumeng, have you thought this through?"
"There's nothing to think about. This is all I can do now."
Jiang Siyu had practically said on the phone how affectionate they were last night.
Mu Linjing was curious: "What exactly did you say just now?"
Before this, she had convinced Wei Yumeng, and Wei Yumeng herself had agreed to give Zhan Mohan a chance to explain. How did it suddenly turn into this?
Wei Yumeng didn't seem to want to talk about it: "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
She didn't have the habit, nor the personality, to fight with an ex-girlfriend for a man. To her, if you love me, you would naturally refuse other people of the opposite sex for my sake.
What is snatched will never be truly yours.
Mu Linjing suddenly felt she couldn't quite see through Wei Yumeng. You could say she was strong, putting on a nonchalant front, but perhaps her heart was bleeding internally.
Matters of the heart were the most difficult to resolve, and outsiders couldn't interfere.
All she could do was accompany Wei Yumeng.
"As long as you don't regret it yourself."
What was there to regret? In the end, wouldn't it all be the same? She thought that once this matter was resolved, she and Zhan Mohan could be completely together, but in reality, it wasn't. Now they had a rift between them again.
Wei Yumeng didn't know if she would regret it, but for now, she and Zhan Mohan couldn't go back to how things were.
She sighed: "We'll take it one step at a time."
Upon arriving at Alba Plaza, they saw Chu Zi'an and Yang Tao. She and Mu Linjing walked over.
"Dr. Yang, we meet again."
Yang Tao also greeted Wei Yumeng: "Yes, Ms. Wei, we meet again."
Chu Zi'an was impatient. He was desperate to know what had happened between Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan.
"Let's go inside quickly. Don't dawdle out here."
The group chose a private room. Chu Zi'an ordered quite a bit of food for them so they could talk while eating.
Chu Zi'an took a sip of water and got straight to the point: "Tell me, why did you suddenly start hiding from Zhan Mohan? You were very unsettled before, not knowing who the father of the child was. Now that you've found out, if you told Zhan Mohan, he should be very happy."
