This was something Wei Yumeng really didn't know how to respond to.
She helped him take off his shirt. It was already gone, so if they continued, the atmosphere would become rather awkward.
Wei Yumeng stepped back slightly, a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"You handle the rest," she said.
Zhan Mohan saw that her ears had turned crimson and couldn't help but chuckle.
"If you're shy about this, what will you do when we consummate our marriage one day?"
Wei Yumeng's eyes darted, her heart pounding almost out of her chest.
"I... I haven't thought about it."
"It will happen sooner or later," Zhan Mohan said, finishing undressing himself and then entering the bathroom, brushing past her.
Wei Yumeng clutched her chest, her face burning hot. Zhan Mohan had just said they would consummate their marriage, and that it would happen sooner or later.
Why was she so nervous?
The next day, Wei Yumeng walked to the company entrance, yawning. The temperature had dropped sharply the night before, leaving her shivering. But halfway through the night, for some reason, it suddenly warmed up.
Just as she was about to ascend the steps, she was startled by someone who appeared before her.
"Wei Jin!"
Wei Jin grabbed Wei Yumeng's hand, her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded.
"Sister, I was wrong before. I didn't cherish our sisterly bond. I beg you, please help me persuade Yi Chen."
Wei Yumeng had wondered why she hadn't seen Wei Jin yesterday. But now that she had come to her, Wei Yumeng figured it must be that Wei Jin had no other options. Otherwise, given Wei Jin's arrogance, she would never have come to beg her.
"You brought this upon yourself. What's the use of begging me? When you and Yin Fang forced me to marry Zhan Mohan as a substitute, you should have known my position in the Zhan family wasn't good. How could I possibly have a say?"
Wei Jin held onto Wei Yumeng, refusing to let go. "Sister, I know you can do it. Brother-in-law likes you so much. This is about my lifelong happiness. No matter what, we still share the same father. I can promise you, if you agree, we'll be good sisters from now on, and I'll help you a lot in the Zhan family."
"Help me? If you really wanted to help me, you wouldn't have sent me to the Zhan family. Wei Jin, you and I both know we can never be good sisters, so let's not be hypocritical here."
Wei Yumeng saw through her directly. Since they both knew the truth, why pretend and waste time?
Wei Jin narrowed her eyes, her smile gradually fading.
"Do you mean you're unwilling to help me?"
Wei Yumeng sneered, "When I needed help, did any of you ever help me?"
She was grateful enough that Wei Anguo and Yin Fang hadn't pushed her into a fiery pit, so how could they help her?
Since that was the case, why should she help Wei Jin against the Zhan family? If she merely acted as a go-between for Wei Jin and Zhan Yi Chen, Wen Yulan already treated her like an enemy. If Wei Jin were to enter the Zhan family as well, then both she and Wen Yulan would dislike her, effectively digging her own grave.
She wouldn't be that foolish.
Seeing that Wei Yumeng was unwilling to help, Wei Jin completely revealed her true colors.
She glanced around, then suddenly cried out.
"Everyone, please come and see! This is my sister. She could help me and the person I love end up together, but she can't stand to see me happy. I've already knelt down to beg her, but she still refuses to agree."
Wei Jin's voice quickly attracted many onlookers. It was rush hour, and employees were coming and going.
Wei Yumeng hadn't expected Wei Jin to resort to such tactics. Her expression changed, and her eyes held a chill. She stepped forward and grabbed Wei Jin's hand.
"Wei Jin, have you gone mad? Stop slandering me!"
"Sister, I just want you to fulfill our wishes. His family doesn't agree with us being together. Only your words matter. He and I are truly in love."
Wei Jin cried tears of sorrow, her voice desolate. If people didn't know the truth, they would truly believe she and her boyfriend were a pair of ill-fated lovers.
The surrounding crowd quickly sided with the weaker party and began to accuse Wei Yumeng.
"Wei Yumeng, she's your sister after all. If you can help, why not? Are you afraid she'll overshadow you, or are you jealous that she's found a boyfriend while you haven't even found one?"
This person was Wei Yumeng's colleague from the same department. She happened to see the commotion and couldn't miss it.
She had initially come to watch a good show but ran into Wei Yumeng. She had long heard that Wei Yumeng got into the company through connections, and these connections were likely with President Zhan.
Their company rarely had people who got in through direct connections. Why should she be the one?
She herself had toiled so hard, working countless all-nighters to get into Zhan Group, and was still just an insignificant nobody.
Wei Yumeng, on the other hand, seemed to have struck gold.
With her words, others chimed in.
"That's right, she's your sister after all. If you can help, do so. Why are you so heartless?"
"I think this woman is probably jealous that her sister will have a better future than her. Some people are just like that, with hearts as venomous as a snake. She looks quite delicate, but I didn't expect her to be this kind of person."
More and more people began to accuse Wei Yumeng. Wei Jin, meanwhile, was secretly gloating. Even if Wei Yumeng didn't help her in the end, with the situation as it was, Wei Yumeng would be verbally attacked to death.
Wei Jin even inflicted harm upon herself, falling to her knees with a plop in front of Wei Yumeng, pathetically clutching her trouser leg, her voice mournful.
"Sister, I beg you. I have no choice but to come to you. If I had any other way, I wouldn't have come this early in the morning."
Her kneeling only made the onlookers watching the spectacle believe even more that Wei Yumeng was as cold-blooded as Wei Jin claimed.
"For a woman like this, if it were me, I would have cut ties with her long ago. How could I possibly still call her sister? Does she deserve it?"
"Forget it, I think you'd better find your own way. It's a waste of time to deal with someone so venomous, who deliberately doesn't want her own sister to have a good life. Hurry and get up."
Wei Yumeng didn't rush to explain. These people were fair-weather friends; they supported whoever played the victim or appeared weak. Who couldn't stir up trouble?
What disgusted her even more was Wei Jin's behavior, which was nauseating.
She didn't care about what others thought. It was Wei Jin's attitude of turning on her if she didn't help that she disdained.
Her face suddenly turned icy, and she looked down at Wei Jin.
Wei Jin felt a chilling gaze fall upon her and instinctively looked up. Upon meeting Wei Yumeng's eyes, a shiver ran down her spine. She was actually somewhat frightened by Wei Yumeng's gaze.
Her knees even felt numb from kneeling. Why wasn't Wei Yumeng telling her to get up?
