"What do you know! We have to find out clearly, whether he is really paralyzed or faking it." Wen Yulan's eyes flashed with resentment, her well-maintained face contorted, making her look particularly frightening.
The maid thought for a moment, "He's probably really paralyzed, it's been so long, and we haven't found anything unusual."
"Don't be careless. Continue to investigate. In short, I will absolutely not allow anyone to block my son's path. The heir of the Zhan family can only be one person!"
When Wei Yumeng woke up, it was already dusk outside. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhan Mohan talking to Fang Xun.
"Keep an eye on Wen Yulan's side recently. Also, don't tell Grandpa about today's matter for now. Since this child is not necessary to keep, we won't bother the old man."
"But Mr. Zhan, you said before..."
"Even if she didn't cause a miscarriage, that bowl contained medicine that would harm the fetus. If this child is born with any disability, it's better not to have it."
"My child, what about my child?"
Wei Yumeng suddenly cried out in panic.
Zhan Mohan turned around and saw that she was already sitting up, indicating she was not seriously injured.
"The child must have been affected. You must abort this child."
"Zhan Mohan, you promised me you would let it stay in my womb for a while longer. Why have you suddenly changed your mind now?"
At this moment, Wei Yumeng's mind was entirely focused on the child. Recalling Wen Yulan's previous actions, a thought suddenly occurred to her.
"Did you and your mother conspire to harm me? You both want the life of the child in my womb!"
Zhan Mohan's brows furrowed, his eyes containing an extremely complex light.
"Wei Yumeng, are you crazy?"
To even come up with such an idea.
Wei Yumeng was still immersed in the fear of being forcibly given medicine by Wen Yulan, her mind racing with wild thoughts.
"I'm not crazy! Your mother said that if I went to the hospital for an abortion, it would spread to the media and have a significant impact on you."
Besides, didn't he always want to get rid of the child in her womb? Wen Yulan's actions coincidentally fulfilled his wishes, and he would only be grateful, not confront Wen Yulan for her.
Fang Xun, standing nearby, wanted to speak up to explain for Zhan Mohan.
"Madam, actually, Mr. Zhan just now..."
"Fang Xun, get out!" the man interrupted Fang Xun coldly.
"Mr. Zhan, why are you..."
"Don't you listen to me now?"
Zhan Mohan roared, his already stern face tensed, exuding an intimidating aura just by looking at him.
Fang Xun lowered his head slightly and quietly retreated.
Only Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng were left in the room. Her face was pale, fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her lips were completely devoid of color.
She spoke weakly, "You don't need to use such despicable means. Medical abortion, if there are any complications, it could result in the death of both mother and child. I don't plan to stay in the Zhan family forever. If I had an abortion at the hospital, I could still have children if I remarried later. By doing this, you are pushing me to my death."
Zhan Mohan, who had intended to explain things to her properly upon seeing her state, found that she dared to entertain the thought of leaving the Zhan family.
A surge of anger gathered in his chest, and his eyes suddenly shot out a fierce glint as he reached out and gripped her jaw.
"Wei Yumeng, what do you think the Zhan family is? You can come and go as you please!"
How long had it been since she married him, and she was already considering marrying someone else and having children with them? Anyone he, Zhan Mohan, had touched, even if he didn't want them, others couldn't have them.
Wei Yumeng grimaced in pain, feeling as if her bones were about to fall apart. She forcefully slapped his arm.
"You... let me go!"
But Zhan Mohan was furious and didn't hear her words at all. His originally handsome eyes now held a hint of coldness and gloom.
"Wei Yumeng, since you're married to me, Zhan Mohan, abide by your duties. Don't think about things you shouldn't be thinking about all day. Do you think you can escape my grasp if I don't let you go?"
No matter where you run, to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back.
Wei Yumeng's eyes widened in horror, "You lunatic! You're truly insane. We can never be together. I don't like you!"
"You don't like me, do you like that senior of yours?"
The thought that the child in her womb might belong to that man sent a surge of blood through Zhan Mohan. His handsome face hardened like a sculpture as he gripped her jaw and kissed her.
Wei Yumeng felt that the man in front of her was truly mad! He was kissing her!
She desperately pushed him away, but even with his lower body paralyzed, it was easy for him to restrain a woman. She was pinned down by him, unable to move.
Only when he felt her stop struggling did Zhan Mohan release her. Looking at her lips, which were red and swollen from his kiss, the temperature around him rose sharply. He averted his gaze, his voice exceptionally husky.
"Since you're married to me, your heart and your eyes can only have me. If I ever find out you're hiding another man, Wei Yumeng, you won't be able to afford the consequences!"
After speaking, he angrily flicked his sleeves and pushed his wheelchair out of the room.
Fang Xun had been waiting at the door. As soon as Zhan Mohan came out, he hurried to push him.
"Mr. Zhan..."
"Return to the study."
"Yes."
The two entered the study and closed the door. Fang Xun couldn't wait to ask.
"Mr. Zhan, why didn't you explain to Madam earlier? You clearly helped her."
"What would be the point of explaining? Would she believe me?"
If she believed him, she would believe him even without an explanation. If she didn't believe him in the first place, no amount of words would be useful.
Fang Xun lowered his head and sighed, "If it weren't for the Old Master insisting you marry her, Mr. Zhan, you wouldn't have to endure such unfair treatment, nor would the Li Huan incident have happened."
What's more, their Mr. Zhan was a person who disliked explaining, which only widened the misunderstanding between the two.
Zhan Mohan raised his hand, "All of that is unimportant. I don't care. Go and investigate Wen Yulan's recent activities."
Fang Xun was puzzled, "Didn't Madam say earlier that she was afraid Madam going to the hospital would be photographed by the media, thus damaging your reputation?"
He sneered, "Only you would believe her sweet talk. When has she ever spoken so grandly without her own agenda?"
Wen Yulan couldn't wait to ruin his reputation, so that his grandfather would blame him, and her son Yichen would have a chance.
Fang Xun acknowledged, "Then I'll investigate. However, if Madam wasn't considering you, then what kind of act is she putting on by doing this?"
"That's why I'm asking you to investigate and see if there's anything suspicious behind it."
"Um, what about Madam's situation? Does the child need to be dealt with?"
"I'll see how things are tomorrow. Let's get a medical examination first."
Moreover, he felt that Wen Yulan's private act of giving Wei Yumeng medicine was somewhat odd. Given Wen Yulan's personality, she wouldn't have acted secretly at home.
Even if she were to go to the hospital, it would be feasible.
"Then I'll investigate further." Upon hearing Zhan Mohan's words, Fang Xun also felt that there were many suspicious points.
In the evening, when Zhan Mohan entered the room, he saw Wei Yumeng sleeping on the floor, his expression dark.
This woman was really holding a grudge against him.
"What are you doing!"
Wei Yumeng's body flinched, startled by the sudden voice.
"I'm sleeping on the floor."
"Why are you sleeping on the floor?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing Mr. Zhan at night, so it's better to sleep separately."
Her tone was indeed no different, but how could Zhan Mohan not tell that this woman was deliberately provoking him?
When did he start being disliked by a woman?
"Without my permission, who told you to sleep on the floor? You have one minute to put the bedspread back on!"
He hadn't even expressed his displeasure about her carrying another man's bastard, and she, upon entering, was already acting passive-aggressively towards him, really thinking she was something special.
Wei Yumeng reluctantly said, "I don't want to."
"Wei Yumeng, are you looking for death!"
Her wings had grown strong, and she dared to argue with him. It seemed she really needed to be taught a lesson.
"I'm considering your health, and you're scolding me instead? Besides, don't you always dislike me? Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable lying in the same bed as someone like me?"
