Wei Yumeng felt she indeed needed to seek their help. If she didn't tell them the truth, it would be difficult for them to handle. So, she recounted everything that had happened these past two days to Chu Zi'an and the others.
Upon hearing this, Chu Zi'an immediately swore, "Holy shit! Zhan Mohan wants to have his cake and eat it too!"
Yang Tao, however, had a different perspective.
"Are you sure about this? I don't think so. He accepted you even when he knew the child in your womb might not be his. Now that you're on the verge of the truth coming out, why would he get involved with his ex-girlfriend?"
Yang Tao didn't interact much with Zhan Mohan, but her woman's intuition told her that his character should be fine. However, it was a one-sided observation, and she hadn't delved deeper.
Ultimately, the decision could only be Wei Yumeng's.
Wei Yumeng felt dejected, her mind in a mess.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Chu Zi'an said,
"Yang Tao, stop trying to persuade her. What's so good about that Zhan Mohan? He has a face like a block of ice, as if everyone owes him money. And now he's passionately involved with his ex-girlfriend. A man like that is not worth it. Who knows what else he might do to betray her after the child is born."
Yang Tao slapped him on the head upon hearing Chu Zi'an's words.
"You just love to talk. You think you know everything. I think you just don't want to see them happy together."
"When have I ever not wanted to see people happy together? The key is who she should be happy with. Look, if she were with me, I certainly wouldn't be entangled with any ex-girlfriends."
Chu Zi'an spoke animatedly, with a smug expression.
Yang Tao looked at him with disdain, "Stop flattering yourself. You're always flirting around with other women. Have you forgotten who helped you out the other day with that woman?"
Chu Zi'an became annoyed as soon as the woman from a few days ago was mentioned.
"Don't bring it up. That woman was trying to set me up for a honey trap, but I saw through her. She refused to admit it and tried to extort money from me. I, Chu Zi'an, have money, but I'm not at a point where I can squander it carelessly. She wants me to give her money for free? No way." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Yang Tao couldn't be bothered to deal with him. "Can we focus on her matter first?"
Chu Zi'an snapped back to his senses. "Right, right. You first. If you want to deceive Zhan Mohan, we'll need to devise a plan. Because once he knows the child in your womb is his, he will definitely take you back to the Zhan family immediately. There's no doubt about it."
Zhan Mohan was somewhat stubborn at heart. He would deeply believe in the concept of ancestral recognition, especially with Old Master Zhan still around.
As soon as Wei Yumeng heard about returning to the Zhan family, she vehemently shook her head, immediately refusing.
"No matter what, I will not agree."
She remembered clearly that her first child was lost because of Wen Yulan. If Wen Yulan found out that the child in her womb was Zhan Mohan's, she would spare no effort to harm the child.
No, the tragedy of the past must not be repeated.
Chu Zi'an spread his hands helplessly. "See? This is the conflict between you two. It will definitely erupt. If you don't go back with Zhan Mohan, you two will argue. At this point, Jiang Siyu's appearance will become the fuse for your relationship."
Ex-girlfriends, although in the past, still possess immense destructive power.
Wei Yumeng had considered this point, which was why she was so conflicted.
Mu Linjing suddenly said, "Let's not worry about that for now. Let's just keep Zhan Mohan in the dark. Your current situation, Yumeng, is indeed not suitable for returning. That's the problem."
Yang Tao seemed to have understood the entire situation. She cleared her throat.
"If you've decided, I'll start looking for people. But we need to think through the plan carefully. If Zhan Mohan finds out, everyone will be doomed, not just one person."
Chu Zi'an was fearless. He loved to see Zhan Mohan anxious and agitated. Anything that made Zhan Mohan unhappy, he was willing to participate in.
"You don't need to worry. I'll make arrangements, and I guarantee Zhan Mohan won't find out. The key is one thing, Yumeng: you need to be firm. If you waver, all our plans will turn into smoke."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "I know. But I'm worried, what if Zhan Mohan wants to send me to another hospital for a check-up?"
Yang Tao and Chu Zi'an exchanged glances. They were also concerned about this issue, and it was indeed a cause for worry.
Given Zhan Mohan's personality, it was hard to say. Such a strong-willed man, if he suspected something was amiss, he would definitely take Wei Yumeng to the hospital for examination. He wouldn't rely on just one hospital's diagnosis.
The group fell into silence again.
A moment later, Mu Linjing came up with an idea.
"How about this? If that day really comes, Yumeng, you can only improvise. Zhan Mohan is so suspicious; he won't trust easily. You can then find an opportunity to contact us. There's no other way."
Wei Yumeng felt it was too risky after hearing this.
"Doing this is too easy to get discovered."
Mu Linjing shrugged helplessly. "If that day truly arrives, there's nothing we can do. Paper can't wrap fire. How long do you think you can keep it a secret?"
It was difficult for ordinary people to hide things, let alone someone as astute as Zhan Mohan.
It seemed this was the only way, Wei Yumeng thought.
Yang Tao saw that time was getting late and further delay would be meaningless. They had discussed everything that needed to be discussed.
"Alright, let's put this plan into action first. I'll go find people, and you all go about your own business."
As she spoke, she patted Chu Zi'an, who was beside her.
"Come on, hurry up and take me back to the hospital. I still have to work overtime."
Chu Zi'an looked reluctant. "Can't you drive yourself? You have to make me send you."
"I'm wearing high heels. How do you expect me to drive? Aren't you afraid I'll die and then who will solve your problems?"
Yang Tao grumbled as she dragged Chu Zi'an away.
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing watched the two of them and couldn't help but smile.
"Yumeng, don't you think Dr. Yang and Chu Zi'an are quite a match? Every time I see them bickering, I find it hilarious."
"I think so too. And you can tell Dr. Yang really likes Chu Zi'an. It's just that Chu Zi'an is completely focused on other women; he probably hasn't noticed."
"It can't be helped. Sometimes, if two people can't be together, it might be because their fate isn't strong enough. It's up to them to decide their own destiny."
Wei Yumeng now understood that some things cannot be forced, nor can they be forced to happen.
