Xin Ran saw her expression was not good and asked, "He contacted you?"
"Yes, senior. I have to go up now."
"Then remember to eat your lunch. If you need any help in the future, don't be polite to me, just tell me."
Xin Ran noticed she had lost a lot of weight recently. Her originally slender frame was now just skin and bones after all this trouble. wap.kanshuwu.net
Wei Yumeng was initially anxious when she received Zhan Mohan's call, but after Xin Ran's words, she felt at least a little comforted.
She curled her lips in a smile, not wanting Xin Ran to worry about her.
"Senior, don't worry, I won't be polite to you. I'll head up now, and you should go about your business too."
"You go first. I'll leave after I see you go in."
Xin Ran waved at her.
Wei Yumeng, carrying her things, hurried into the company. Xin Ran watched her small figure and vowed that as soon as he finished dealing with his own matters, he would help Wei Yumeng escape that fiery pit.
The Zhan family was not a place to stay long. Zhan Mohan was known for his eccentric temper and ruthless methods. He had always heard that this man was decisive and unforgiving in the business world, earning him a nickname.
The Cold-faced Yama.
Anything that fell into his hands, no one could pull strings, he was impossible to deal with.
Wei Yumeng, inexperienced and simple-minded, how could she be a match for that big bad wolf.
She quickly got into the elevator and rushed to Zhan Mohan's office, knocking on the door.
"Come in."
Just hearing his icy, sharp voice made Wei Yumeng feel that her fate was probably dire.
She pushed open the door, panting, beads of sweat on her forehead, her pale lips slightly parted, breathing cautiously.
"Mr. Zhan, did you need something?"
Zhan Mohan's eyes were heavy, his slender fingers playing with a pen.
"Where were you just now?"
"I... I was about to go out for lunch."
She was taken aback, not expecting Zhan Mohan to suddenly ask her this.
Zhan Mohan's cold gaze fell on the bag in her hand, and he smirked mockingly.
"Going out for lunch while carrying a lunchbox?"
"I..."
"Bang!" Zhan Mohan slammed the table heavily, anger radiating from him. "Wei Yumeng, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to meet with another man behind my back!"
Wei Yumeng then realized why he was so angry; he had seen everything downstairs.
She instinctively wanted to explain, "That was a misunderstanding, senior he..."
"Don't tell me the child in your womb belongs to him too?"
The man narrowed his eyes dismissively, his aura becoming even more formidable and intimidating.
"It has nothing to do with him. He's just a very good friend of mine. Zhan Mohan, I hope you can clarify things before..."
"What did you just call me?"
This woman was getting bolder and bolder, daring to call him by his name, and then saying there was no other man.
If there was no one else, then who gave her the courage.
Wei Yumeng realized she had misspoken and quickly corrected herself.
"Mr. Zhan."
"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me. Tomorrow, you will get rid of the child in your womb."
"No!"
Wei Yumeng cried out in horror.
This child was her only hope. If this child was gone, what would she have left?
Her mother was still missing. She could only rely on the child in her womb to keep her from feeling so hopeless. Was this man going to take away her last hope?
"You have no say in this!" The man had made up his mind.
"Zhan Mohan, I beg you. Even if you must do it, can you please let this child stay in my womb a little longer?"
This was her only request. If she could just stall for time, even a little, she might be able to come up with a foolproof plan.
She pleaded for the child in her womb, not for any other man. Thinking of this, Zhan Mohan's anger almost overflowed, his expression growing darker.
"Wei Yumeng, for another man, you're begging me? You're begging me!"
She was usually quite sharp-tongued, wasn't she? Although she appeared gentle and weak on the surface, she endured his fault-finding. But he could see that this woman was not to be trifled with, and not someone who passively accepted abuse. Her current tolerance was only because she feared he would harm those she cared about.
If he didn't have this leverage, she would have turned the world upside down.
Wei Yumeng was frantic, not knowing how to explain to Zhan Mohan so that he would believe her.
"It's not for any other man. I... I don't even know who the father of this child is. It was to save my mother, and I had no choice but to do what I did."
If she hadn't been pushed to that point, who would have been willing to sell their purity.
She had planned to live a good life with her mother afterward. As for love, she dared not even think about it, fearing that her future husband would misunderstand her.
Who would have expected heaven to play such a joke on her? In the blink of an eye, Wei Anguo married her off to Zhan Mohan.
As a result, her explanation did not quell Zhan Mohan's anger; instead, it provoked him greatly.
"You truly are a promiscuous woman. Not only the one downstairs, but you're also so muddled you don't even know who the father of the child in your womb is."
How much good fortune had he accumulated to marry this shameless woman.
"I was truly desperate at the time. My mother needed that money urgently for life-saving treatment, and my father refused to give it. I couldn't just let her die on the operating table."
She couldn't do that!
"Besides, I really didn't expect my father to marry me to you. After making that decision, I was prepared to remain unmarried for life."
None of these changes were within her expectations.
Hearing her words, Zhan Mohan's anger subsided slightly. However, the thought that she was carrying another man's child and had intimate contact with other men inexplicably made him irritable.
He warned Wei Yumeng in a voice as killing as a Shura.
"You'd better remember, you are now a married woman. You'd better put away your flirtatious intentions soon. If you dare to meet with another man again, I will use your mother as a threat!"
"I... I understand. Don't touch my mother."
Wei Yumeng was truly terrified. If it were anyone else, she might have doubted the authenticity of the threat. But Zhan Mohan, he held immense power. In Pengcheng, he was like an unassailable emperor whom everyone respected. No one dared to offend him.
What's more, she was just an ordinary person. For Zhan Mohan to do anything to her would be as simple as snapping his fingers.
Seeing her compliant attitude, his expression improved slightly, but his tone remained as cold as ice.
He pointed at the items in her hand.
"Put the things in your hand on the table, and then you can get out!"
No matter how reluctant Wei Yumeng was to part with what Xin Ran had given her, she couldn't withstand Zhan Mohan's repeated pressure. She had no choice but to put the items down and turn to leave the office.
Fang Xun waited until Wei Yumeng came out before daring to enter. He saw the lunchbox and the bag of clothes on the table.
"This..."
"Throw these things away!"
"Yes." Fang Xun didn't dare to delay and quickly threw the items away.
"Contact the hospital immediately. The child in her womb cannot be kept any longer!"
