The others also looked over, then immediately shrank back in fright.
"How could it be Young Master Zhan?"
"Right, why would Young Master Zhan come to our side? He doesn't even come once in several months."
"Don't say it, the male colleagues are the same. They are all quite handsome. They used to come to see Director Ning from our company, but later they found out Director Ning was a cold beauty, so they stopped coming."
"It seems like he only started paying attention after hearing that Wei Yumeng assisted General Gao in winning that project."
"Do you think... Wei Yumeng and General Gao might be together?"
"I don't know about that."
Zhan Mohan's sharp eyes stared at those few men.
Wei Yumeng slowly stood up. Why would Zhan Mohan come over?
Those male colleagues stammered and shouted.
"Young Master Zhan."
"Did your supervisor not assign you any work?"
You have this much free time to pick up women, and these women are even his.
Are these people tired of living?
The male colleagues looked at each other.
"We... we were just bringing some food for Yumeng, we didn't mean anything else. We'll go back to work immediately."
Yumeng? Zhan Mohan frowned. He called her quite intimately.
"Are you very familiar with her?"
Zhan Mohan tilted his head, his voice already laced with displeasure.
The female colleagues present exchanged bewildered glances. Was Young Master Zhan on dynamite today? Why was he suddenly so hostile towards these few male colleagues?
Let alone outsiders, even Wei Yumeng felt that Zhan Mohan was acting particularly unusual today.
The atmosphere in the office was oppressive and stifling. All that could be heard was the sound of breathing, eerily quiet.
Wei Yumeng, being the quickest to react, quickly said to those male colleagues.
"I've accepted the items. We can add each other on WeChat another day. You probably still have a lot of work unfinished, so hurry back."
The male colleagues came back to their senses and nodded in unison.
"Yes, we still have work to do. We'll be going now."
"Goodbye, see you next time."
Zhan Mohan's lips were tightly pressed together, even more displeased. They still wanted to see each other next time.
After the male colleagues left, Wei Yumeng timidly looked at Zhan Mohan and asked cautiously.
"Is Young Master Zhan here to make coffee?"
Zhan Mohan ignored her completely and turned to leave.
Only after Zhan Mohan left did the atmosphere in the office gradually improve. Mu Linjing looked on, completely bewildered.
"Why do I feel like Young Master Zhan's mood is strange? Although he's usually cold and arrogant in the company and very strict with his subordinates, he wouldn't be so fierce towards those few male colleagues."
A female colleague felt the same and quickly stood up in agreement.
"Yes, you didn't see the look in Young Master Zhan's eyes just now. It was as if he wanted to poke holes through them."
Wei Yumeng was afraid that if they continued to speculate, they would come up with even more bizarre ideas.
"Alright, hurry up and get back to your own work."
As it was nearing the end of work, she received a call from Wei Anguo. She really didn't want to answer, but Wei Anguo had called several times, and she was afraid there might be an urgent matter.
"Hello, what is it?"
Her tone was flat, giving away no emotion.
"Your mother has one more item here that I haven't given her. Why don't you come and get it after work?"
"My mother has what?"
Something at the Wei family's place.
"It's from your maternal grandmother to her."
Wei Yumeng then vaguely recalled. Gu Shuyi had searched for it for a long time and couldn't find it for some reason. It turned out to be still at the Wei family's.
That item was the only thing her maternal grandmother left her mother before she passed away. It was extremely precious, and her mother had been quite upset about it for a while.
"Okay, I'll come and get it later."
Wei Anguo was overjoyed. "Then I'll be waiting for you at home."
Wei Yumeng didn't know what Wei Anguo was planning again, but she was determined to get the item back.
After work, Mu Linjing slung her bag over her shoulder. "Yumeng, what should we eat tonight?"
"Anything is fine, whatever you like."
"A barbecue restaurant just opened near the company. How about we try it?"
"Okay, let's go. I still have to go home after eating."
Wei Yumeng was eating barbecue with Mu Linjing outside, but the Wei family was anxiously waiting.
Yin Fang paced around the living room like a headless fly.
"Why hasn't this Wei Yumeng come back yet?"
Wei Anguo sat in his chair, drinking tea. Although he appeared calm, he was still a bit anxious.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe she's working overtime."
"It's already past eight o'clock. Besides, isn't she working at Zhan Corporation? Would Zhan Mohan let her work overtime?"
Yin Fang had seen Zhan Mohan protect her very much last time.
Clearly, Wei Yumeng was married to him in place of Wei Jin. She thought her life in the Wei family wouldn't be easy, but it was the complete opposite of what they expected. Zhan Mohan doted on her so much, fearing she would be upset.
She sighed regretfully. "If I had known, we should have let Wei Jin marry him back then. Although Zhan Mohan's legs are not good, as long as she had the title of Young Madam of the Zhan family, wouldn't she still be able to live a flourishing life?"
Now, her good youth was wasted on that idiot Gao Dazhuang, and she couldn't even find him. He hadn't even said anything about being responsible for Wei Jin.
They could only place all their hopes on Wei Yumeng.
Wei Jin, however, was furious. "Why are you still looking for that Wei Yumeng? If it weren't for her, would I have ended up like this?"
Thinking about Gao Dazhuang now made her feel nauseous.
Yin Fang naturally knew that Wei Jin had been holding a grudge all this time. She reached out and patted Wei Jin's shoulder to comfort her.
"Alright, there's no other way now. We have to get Wei Yumeng to agree. Besides, if she can help you, you'll be on equal footing with her in the future. At least you won't have to look at other people's faces anymore. As for that Gao Dazhuang, let him die."
Wei Jin was still very worried. "But I'm not... anymore."
"Who cares about that now? Wasn't Wei Yumeng also... before she married Zhan Mohan?"
Wei Jin also found it strange. "That's right. Even if Zhan Mohan is paralyzed from the waist down, he wouldn't stoop to treating a woman who is no longer a virgin so well. Unless he's lost his mind."
Wei Anguo yelled at her. "Lost his mind? If he had lost his mind, could he have developed Zhan Corporation to this extent?"
Yin Fang stepped forward to comfort her. "Fortunately, we anticipated that Zhan Mohan would investigate the car accident and made preparations in advance. If she really found out that Wei Yumeng was not the culprit, but you were, Zhan Mohan would definitely appeal again, and then you'd be finished."
Wei Jin felt a tremor of fear upon hearing this. She tightly grabbed Yin Fang's hand.
"Mom, you must keep this matter suppressed. I don't want to go to jail."
"Mom knows, don't worry. As long as Zhan Mohan doesn't find out, Wei Yumeng will have to bear this blame forever. No matter how good their relationship is, once Zhan Lin is discharged, Zhan Mohan will see his brother's condition as all Wei Yumeng's fault. Do you think he won't feel disgusted?"
Wei Jin thought about it and felt that what Yin Fang said made a lot of sense.
"Then, Wei Yumeng won't have much status in the Zhan family."
"At that time, if you get together with the second young master of the Zhan family, your status will far surpass Wei Yumeng's."
By then, would their Wei family still need to rely on Wei Yumeng?
As they were scheming here, a servant walked in.
"Master, the eldest young lady is back."
Wei Anguo shouted, "Quick, invite her in!"
Wei Yumeng came over without even changing her clothes. As soon as she crossed the threshold, Wei Anguo stepped forward, extremely enthusiastic.
"Yumeng is back, sit down quickly."
Wei Yumeng didn't want to get close to them.
"Dad, I'm not here to watch you put on a show. I'm here to get my mother's item."
How could Wei Anguo give her the item so quickly?
"What's the hurry? You've come home after a long time, sit down for a while."
He then said to Yin Fang, "Quickly get Yumeng a glass of orange juice."
Upon hearing about drinks, Wei Yumeng's eyebrows furrowed. She remembered the trap the Wei family had set for her last time.
"No need. I don't dare to eat the food you give me anymore. If you pull another stunt like last time, I can't afford it."
Her sarcasm was obvious, and no one present failed to understand it.
Yin Fang's face stiffened. If they didn't need something from Wei Yumeng, she would have taught this girl a good lesson for speaking to them like that.
But since they needed something from her, there was no other way.
"Then don't eat. Let's discuss something."
