A woman was embracing Zhan Mohan, and he, who was usually as cold as an iceberg, did not get angry.
"Brother Mohan, you promised to spend a day with me."
"Not today, I have something later."
Zhan Mohan calmly held her arm, gently pushed her away, his eyes still soft, without the slightest impatience.
Feng Shiyi pouted and said coquettishly, "I heard Grandpa recently made you marry a woman, and that woman caused your leg to be like this. Brother Mohan, don't be with her, okay?"
"Shi Yi, you are no longer a child. Marriage is not a child's play. I have my own plans. Go back to the company and be busy. You are a director after all, you need to show the demeanor of a director."
The man was clearly looking for an excuse to dismiss her.
Feng Shiyi could not see that he was driving her away, pouting, and said unhappily.
"Brother Mohan, let me stay with you a little longer?"
"I have a meeting later, and it's not early. Didn't you have a meeting this morning?"
Zhan Mohan coaxed Feng Shiyi with good temper, the corners of his lips curling up, smiling charmingly.
Wei Yumeng stood at the door and was very surprised to see this scene. She had always thought Zhan Mohan was taciturn, that his face always had the same expression, and that he was extremely indifferent to everyone.
She had never seen him speak so gently to anyone. He must really like this Feng Shiyi.
Fang Xun came up to deliver documents at this moment and saw Wei Yumeng standing at the door, looking absent-minded.
He called out from behind her.
"Madam."
Wei Yumeng was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around and saw Fang Xun, her expression pausing slightly.
"I… I was just going to get something, but it seems inconvenient."
Fang Xun glanced inside. "This is President Zhan's cousin, but they are not related by blood. They have a very good relationship with President Zhan."
Wei Yumeng then realized. No wonder Zhan Mohan's gaze towards her was different.
If it were someone else, Zhan Mohan wouldn't have said those words, but to her, he was almost willing to say anything.
Seeing that she was not speaking, Fang Xun pointed inside.
"Then… I'll go in first."
Wei Yumeng quickly made way for him. "Okay."
As soon as Fang Xun went in, Wei Yumeng still carried the breakfast and walked in.
Feng Shiyi turned her head and saw Fang Xun. She walked forward with a scolding tone, but not an offensive one.
"Fang Xun, have you not taken good care of Brother Mohan recently? Why has he lost so much weight?"
Fang Xun smiled. "Heaven knows, Miss Feng. You know President Zhan's temper the best. He doesn't listen to just anyone."
Feng Shiyi's eyes curved into smiles, like crescent moons.
"Then you must supervise him in the future and make sure he eats well."
"Don't worry, Miss Feng. Now that we have Madam, someone reminds President Zhan about his meals three times a day."
As soon as she heard the word "Madam," Feng Shiyi's smile froze instantly. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the woman at the door, and she raised her voice.
"Since you're coming in, come in. Why are you lurking at the door?"
Wei Yumeng was extremely embarrassed. It wasn't that she wanted to eavesdrop, but the scene just now made it inappropriate for her to enter.
Now that she had been called out by name, she might as well go in decisively, finish what she had to do, and then leave.
She went in, took a coat from the wardrobe, and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment." Feng Shiyi suddenly called out to her.
Wei Yumeng turned around, her eyes calm. "Is there something?"
Feng Shiyi looked Wei Yumeng up and down. Her clothes were ordinary, the kind you could find everywhere in wholesale clothing markets, except for her face, which was passable.
She really wasn't worthy of Brother Mohan.
"Are you the woman my Brother Mohan just married?"
Wei Yumeng heard the challenging tone in her voice.
There was no need for it. She had only married for good luck. Feng Shiyi had no reason to be so hostile towards her.
She remained as calm as ever, showing no timidity, and answered frankly.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Feng Shiyi really didn't expect that a daughter from a humble family would not only not try to flatter her but would also act as if she were on equal footing with her.
This made her dislike this woman even more.
"I'm telling you, Brother Mohan married you just to torment you, so don't flatter yourself."
Wei Yumeng nodded indifferently.
"I won't flatter myself, nor will I snatch your Brother Mohan."
She imitated Feng Shiyi's tone, emphasizing the last four words.
Feng Shiyi listened to Wei Yumeng imitating her voice, her face turning red with anger, but she did not back down.
"I've seen many women like you. They all pretend to be indifferent on the surface, but secretly, who knows how they'll try to seduce my Brother Mohan."
Wei Yumeng smiled without a smile.
"Don't worry, your Brother Mohan is not someone anyone can successfully seduce now."
His leg had not yet recovered, so intimate contact with women was impossible. Even if she wanted to seduce him, he had to be capable.
Zhan Mohan, who was sitting nearby, heard the implied meaning in Wei Yumeng's words. The depths of his dark eyes were gloomy, flashing with a strong complexity.
Very good, this woman dared to question his ability.
Feng Shiyi's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she pointed at Wei Yumeng.
"You… you dare to say that about my Brother Mohan!"
"That's how it is." She had no interest in arguing with Feng Yanfei here, it was meaningless. She then said to Zhan Mohan, "I'm going to get busy."
Feng Shiyi's face turned red, and she grabbed Zhan Mohan's sleeve aggrievedly.
"Brother Mohan, that woman is too lawless."
Zhan Mohan did not make a sound.
Fang Xun cautiously glanced at President Zhan's expression, only to be surprised to find that he was not angry at all. Instead, there was a meaningful smile on his face.
This was truly a rare sight.
Feng Shiyi saw it too. She had grown up with Zhan Mohan, and they were childhood sweethearts. She could understand his thoughts from any subtle expression on his face.
This meant that he did not dislike Wei Yumeng as much as it seemed.
She was clearly such an ordinary woman. What on earth attracted him? She had to find out.
Wei Yumeng left the Zhan family, holding the documents in her hand, and gave the address to the driver.
Entering the coffee shop, she did not see her business partner, but a figure caught her eye.
Wasn't that Wei Jin? She checked the table number with her phone, and it was where Wei Jin was currently sitting.
Wei Jin looked up and saw Wei Yumeng, smiled sinisterly, and stood up.
"Sister, you don't need to look around anymore. The person here to discuss cooperation with you today is me."
A moment of surprise flashed in Wei Yumeng's eyes. She still sat down. She had no extra words for Wei Jin and got straight to the point.
"I've brought the contract. Take a look. If there are no problems, we'll sign it. If there are problems, we can negotiate."
She was professional and had no intention of discussing personal matters with Wei Jin.
But Wei Jin was not here to discuss cooperation with her today.
She looked at Wei Yumeng arrogantly. "You don't really think I'm here to sign a contract with you, do you?"
Wei Yumeng had guessed this when she saw Wei Jin. Her gaze was cold.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't sign, I'll just have a hard time explaining to Zhan Mohan. I'll tell him the reason then. The Zhan Group is not short of collaborators. It's just that the person behind you, I wonder if they'll cause trouble for you?"
Wei Jin's expression stiffened slightly. She didn't expect Wei Yumeng to see through her.
She did have a hard time explaining. After all, her godfather told her to sign the contract. She should be content with what she got, but she was unwilling to let Wei Yumeng off the hook so easily.
Why did she marry into the Zhan family so splendidly, while she got nothing? She also didn't expect Zhan Mohan to value this darn girl so much.
Wei Jin gritted her teeth, her face contorted as she glared at Wei Yumeng.
"What are you so proud of? You only married in my place. Even though Zhan Mohan has a prominent background, he's half-paralyzed. You can't even get pregnant, and you still dare to show off in front of me!"
"So what? At least I'm better off than you. In the eyes of outsiders, I'm the young madam of the Zhan family, while you're just the second young lady of the Wei family, and the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. What right do you have to be so smug?"
