"That... Young Master Zhan, are you sure it's correct?"
"Positive." His tone was resolute.
"Then how did you know?"
A sneering voice came from the phone, that of Zhan Mohan.
"With her figure, it's obvious at a glance. Do I need to ask specifically?"
Fang Xun then remembered that Young Master Zhan and his wife had already been intimate, though his wife was unaware of it.
After hanging up, Fang Xun continued to choose clothes for Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng was in her room, thinking it over. She felt she should inform Zhan Mohan, lest he make things difficult for her about this matter again.
As soon as she dialed, he answered.
Perhaps still shaken from earlier, she hadn't fully recovered, her voice trembling slightly.
"Young Master Zhan... I, I had a little accident. Could I have half an hour off?"
She needed to take a bath first, and then wait for Fang Xun to bring the clothes. It would take at least half an hour.
"Wei Yumeng, I expect you to do your work at the company, not bring your personal issues to work."
Zhan Mohan's tone was chilling, and even through the phone, Wei Yumeng's heart trembled.
"I... I understand. It won't happen again."
"You have only half an hour. If you exceed it, don't bother coming to the company tomorrow."
Before Wei Yumeng could even agree, he had already hung up.
She lowered her head, her mood utterly dismal. Gu Shuyi was still not out of danger, and she had been targeted by Wei Jin this morning.
Those incidents had now spread throughout the company. Her colleagues had disliked her before, and with this, her days at the company would likely be even harder.
She ruffled her hair irritably, only to get her hand covered in dog's blood.
She might as well take a bath. She couldn't stand the smell herself, let alone Fang Xun bringing her over.
After showering, Wei Yumeng felt much refreshed.
The doorbell rang. Wearing her hotel bathrobe, she went to open the door. Fang Xun handed her the garment bag.
"Madam, these are clothes I bought for you. I hope you like them."
"It's fine. Thank you, Fang Xun."
Having a change of clothes was good, especially new ones. She didn't have the luxury to be picky.
After putting them on, Wei Yumeng found that the clothes fit surprisingly well. She couldn't help but wonder how Fang Xun knew her size.
She opened the door. Fang Xun was waiting outside.
"Madam, are you ready?"
"Yes. Fang Xun, may I ask you something?"
"Please do, Madam."
"How did you know my size?"
It was understandable for her outer clothes, she might have guessed. But for her intimate wear, it was eerily accurate.
It wasn't that she was being overly suspicious. She knew Fang Xun was a decent person, which was why Zhan Mohan valued him so highly.
Fang Xun didn't want to take the blame. He explained directly to Wei Yumeng.
"Young Master Zhan told me."
"Zhan Mohan?" How would he know her size? They hadn't been intimate. The most they had done was a kiss when he occasionally went mad.
There had been no excessive actions.
Fang Xun scratched his head awkwardly, unsure how to explain to Wei Yumeng. Some things were best said by Zhan Mohan himself.
"Madam, let's return to the company first. If you have any questions, you can ask Young Master Zhan in person."
"Alright."
Upon returning to the company, as soon as she sat down, her neighboring colleagues shifted away, as if avoiding a plague.
Some things she didn't want to explain, and couldn't explain clearly. Since they insisted on thinking that way, let them.
She lowered her head, picked up a document, and prepared to continue her work.
Ning Tao walked out of the office at this moment and threw a document directly onto Wei Yumeng's desk with a heavy thud.
"Wei Yumeng, if you can do it, do it properly. If you can't, get out early. I need this translation by ten o'clock, and you're still fiddling with data!"
Colleagues quickly came over and pulled Ning Tao away.
"Director Ning, please don't go over there."
"What? If I don't go, how will she give me that document?"
"You don't know. This morning at the company entrance, a woman splashed her with dog's blood, saying she was promiscuous. Before that, she had a miscarriage, and didn't even know who the father was. What if she has some contagious disease?"
Ning Tao's interest piqued upon hearing this. She had long disliked Wei Yumeng, thinking she got in through Zhan Mohan's backdoor and didn't know her own capabilities.
With her arms crossed, she joined the colleagues in mocking Wei Yumeng.
"No wonder I smelled dog's blood just now. It was coming from you."
"Yes, the whole office smells of it now. Director Ning, why don't you speak to Young Master Zhan for us and have Wei Yumeng fired?"
Other colleagues chimed in: "Yes, Director Ning. We don't want to be in the same office as someone like that."
"What if I catch bad luck? I'm getting married soon."
As one person spoke, others were unwilling to be left out. The office instantly erupted as if a bomb had gone off, with everyone firing at Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng's fingertips gripped the edge of the desk, veins bulging on the back of her hand.
Her eyes swept coldly over everyone.
"I'm promiscuous and have a contagious disease, but are your mouths any cleaner? Besides, who among you has proof?"
"Hmph! A woman like you, do you need proof?"
"Heh... Then if I told you all that I slept with your Young Master Zhan too, would you all resign?"
She had overestimated these people's humanity, thinking that as colleagues in the same company, they would at least not verbally abuse each other, if not help each other.
Now she realized that the hatred women had for other women could be so great.
Ning Tao had always admired Zhan Mohan but was beholden to Feng Shimei. She couldn't afford to offend Feng Shimei, but who was this Wei Yumeng to suppress her?
"Wei Yumeng, do you think too highly of yourself? True, your looks have some appeal, but when it comes to Young Master Zhan, you're not worthy!"
Wei Yumeng chuckled mockingly, "I'm not worthy, so is Director Ning worthy?"
Ning Tao's face turned red with anger at Wei Yumeng's words, her eyes widening.
"Wei Yumeng, you..."
"Since we all know Young Master Zhan is unattainable, it's better to do your own work properly. If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job.
She finished speaking, then sat back down, put on her headphones, and blocked out all external noise, focusing on her work.
Ning Tao couldn't let her personal emotions affect her work entirely. In front of so many people, it would be gossip, and she wouldn't be able to explain herself to Zhan Mohan.
In the end, she could only swallow her anger. She would find a way to get back at Wei Yumeng sooner or later.
She deliberately spoke sternly to Wei Yumeng, "You have time to argue with your superior, why not hurry up and submit the document!"
With that, Ning Tao stomped away in her high heels, fuming.
Seeing that Ning Tao couldn't deal with Wei Yumeng, the other colleagues could only sheepishly return to their work.
As it neared noon, Wei Yumeng handed the document to Ning Tao. Fortunately, Ning Tao wasn't in the office, saving her further verbal exchanges.
There was still a lot of work in the afternoon, so she didn't have time to eat out and had to make do with the company cafeteria.
As she stood in line with her tray, nearing her turn, Ming Jiani hurried forward.
"Excuse me, excuse me. This is my spot."
Saying that, she directly shoved Wei Yumeng aside.
She stumbled back several steps. Originally, she didn't intend to argue, but the person behind her pushed her again.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you cutting in line?"
"I was standing here just now. She took my spot," Wei Yumeng couldn't help but retort.
"If she took your spot, go find her. Why are you squeezing us?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Jiani ran back and glared at Wei Yumeng.
"Are you here to the cafeteria to infect others with your disease?"
Wei Yumeng wasn't one to be bullied, but due to the Gu Shuyi incident, she didn't want to argue with these people. However, the other party was being too much, so she decided not to hold back any longer.
She was too lazy to wait in line. She walked to Ming Jiani's side and pulled her away.
"Since you think I'm sick, then stay away from me."
