Wen Yulan turned around and saw Wei Yumeng, her anger boiling. She stepped forward, reaching out to pinch her, but Zhan Mohan stepped in and stopped her.
"Mom..."
Wen Yulan looked up and saw that Zhan Mohan's face had already quietly shown displeasure. The deep, dark eyes beneath his gaze were chilling, startling her.
Zhan Mohan had never openly confronted her for other matters before. Now, for Wei Yumeng, he dared to go as far as to physically intervene.
In front of outsiders, she naturally couldn't directly clash with Zhan Mohan, nor did she want others to witness their embarrassment.
She had no choice but to give up. While she couldn't resort to physical action, words were still an option.
"A'han, I don't object to you defending her. After all, the men of our Zhan family are all good men. But if it weren't for her initiating this, would Yichen have fallen for your Wei family's scheme?"
Yin Fang still grumbled, unwilling to let it go. "One hand cannot clap by itself. Besides, even if Yumeng made the connection, she only wanted them to be friends. Who said she had to marry your son? It was your son who asked her out for dinner."
The implication was that if Zhan Yichen hadn't made the request, Wei Jin wouldn't have had the opportunity to act. Every effect has a cause.
Wei Anguo stepped forward to mediate.
"Alright, what are you still arguing about? The pressing matter now is to think about what should be done with the two children. The media has already announced it. If your Zhan family doesn't come forward to handle it, or doesn't intend to take responsibility, our Wei family won't force it."
He said it with an air of indifference.
Wen Yulan snorted coldly, seeming unwilling to give Wei Anguo any face.
"Do you think I don't know what you're plotting? You leaked the photos and videos to the media, and then used this opportunity to push the topic onto the trending list, forcing our hand. But I'll make it clear here: no matter what despicable tricks you employ, our Zhan family will absolutely not take Wei Jin."
A woman that even Gao Dazhuang didn't want, why should her son?
Wei Anguo didn't want to argue with a woman like Wen Yulan. The one who could make decisions was still Zhan Mohan.
He shifted his gaze to Zhan Mohan. "Mohan, what do you think? Are you just going to let Wei Jin have slept with your brother for nothing? This kind of thing, if it gets out, won't it also affect your Zhan family's reputation?"
Zhan Mohan's deep eyes flickered with a strange, cold glint.
"Since you've all said so, of course, we have to give an explanation."
Wei Anguo and Yin Fang both looked at Zhan Mohan with anticipation. Wen Yulan might not care about losing face, but the Zhan family couldn't afford to lose its reputation. Moreover, Zhan Mohan was the president of the company, and he naturally wouldn't want his subordinates to spread rumors about the Zhan family being irresponsible.
Zhan Mohan curled his lips into a sneer and continued, "My opinion is, let's consider this an act of childishness between the two children, a mere farce. After all, if your daughter isn't afraid of losing face, our son has even less to fear."
Hearing this, Wen Yulan's face finally showed a smile. Zhan Mohan indeed had a way.
To deal with ruffians, one had to be more shameless than them. Their methods were already far from honorable.
Yin Fang and Wei Anguo exchanged astonished glances. Yin Fang couldn't even believe these words were coming from Zhan Mohan, who had received such excellent education.
"Mohan, that's... that's not how you should say it. Your brother can't have slept with my daughter for nothing."
"At most, we'll follow Gao Dazhuang's example and inject a sum of capital into your company. As for the media, you figure out how to suppress the trending topic yourselves. While our old man still doesn't know about this, you should resolve it yourselves. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer won't be our Zhan family."
If Grandpa really found out, the Wei family wouldn't gain any advantage; instead, they would suffer a great loss.
Wei Anguo thought that a prominent family like the Zhan family would be very concerned about their reputation. How could they act so shamelessly?
"Mohan, we are family after all. We can't do this."
"Then what is your intention?" Zhan Mohan's eyes, sharp as swords, shot towards Wei Anguo.
Wei Anguo was startled to his core and, for a moment, didn't know what to say.
Seeing Wei Anguo completely intimidated by Zhan Mohan, Yin Fang also felt a sense of fear. After all, this man had such a powerful aura. But if she didn't fight for Wei Jin's happiness, who would?
She clenched her fists and, steeling herself, said to Zhan Mohan.
"Since you could marry Yumeng, why can't your brother marry our Wei Jin? Besides, before Yumeng married you, she was with another man... and you still accepted her?"
Bringing this up, Zhan Mohan felt compelled to explain.
"The man Yumeng was with before marrying me was me. And now she is devoted to me. My wife is countless times better than your Wei Jin."
As Zhan Mohan said this, Wei Yumeng stared at him, dumbfounded. Her surprise was no less than what was visible on her face.
What did he just call her? Wife?
Was Zhan Mohan defending her? And in front of so many people...
Her heart beat wildly, and she even felt a sense of joy. She didn't understand what was happening to her.
This news was like a bomb for the Wei family.
Yin Fang didn't even have time to be surprised; her face grew even uglier.
How could it be? Wei Yumeng's first time was with Zhan Mohan? But didn't she not even know who she gave her first time to?
This time, Wen Yulan was completely on Zhan Mohan's side. She looked at Wei Anguo and Yin Fang with triumphant raised eyebrows.
"Did you hear that? Even if Wei Yumeng is bad, at least she isn't like Wei Jin, fooling around outside. Asking my son to marry a woman who has lost her purity is simply a pipe dream."
Wen Yulan's words this time were even more forceful. With Zhan Mohan's support, what did she have to fear?
Wei Anguo and Yin Fang were completely stunned this time. They had initially thought they could use Wei Yumeng's past to suppress them. Who knew Wei Yumeng was so lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
The first man she encountered by chance turned out to be Zhan Mohan.
After the Zhan family left, Yin Fang and Wei Anguo were still in shock.
This... this was over just like that? What was the result?
Once Yin Fang recovered, she glared fiercely at Wei Anguo. "What do you think we should do? You had such a good opportunity and you just wasted it. Were you mute just now? Why didn't you clarify things with Zhan Mohan?"
Wei Anguo was also full of anger at this moment. "Can you blame me? Who told Wei Jin to act on her own? And you know what Zhan Mohan is like. Just looking at his eyes makes me tremble."
"Why do I feel like Zhan Mohan can stand up now?"
After Yin Fang's reminder, Wei Anguo also suddenly realized.
"Yes, when did Zhan Mohan become able to stand?"
