Wen Yulan was furious and immediately argued with Wei Yumeng.
"Wei Yumeng, do you think too highly of yourself? How dare you speak to me in that tone."
"I dare because I haven't had any improper relationship with Deng Xianyi. If you want to frame me, you need to provide evidence first."
Even though she was kneeling on the ground with Zhan Mohan, she stood tall with integrity, her bright eyes showing no trace of fear.
Elder Zhan then said sternly, "We don't need any evidence, nor did we say you had any improper relationship with Deng Xianyi. Today, I am disciplining my grandson, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to kneel for me!"
With that, Elder Zhan gave Wen Yulan a look, and Wen Yulan immediately instructed the servants nearby.
"Go and help her to the side, and let her watch properly, because of her, what have you brought upon Ah Han."
"Yes!"
The two servants stepped forward. Wei Yumeng, however, grabbed Zhan Mohan's sleeve and refused to let go.
She anxiously said to Elder Zhan, "If there's any problem, you can come to me. It has nothing to do with Zhan Mohan!"
"Nothing to do with me?" Elder Zhan snorted. "If it had nothing to do with you, how could he have done such a foolish thing? Wei Yumeng, do you know how much money and resources it takes to bankrupt a normal operating group? It nearly cost the Zhan Corporation half its life!"
"Once outsiders know this secret at this time, what will they do? They will immediately take advantage of the situation and plunge the Zhan Corporation into crisis. As soon as the Deng Corporation collapses, our Zhan Corporation will be next."
Wei Yumeng indeed did not know that Zhan Mohan's actions in making the Deng Corporation go bankrupt would come at such a great cost. Although she understood the difficulty and the potential impact on her own company, she had not expected Zhan Mohan's move to be a complete gamble.
He was gambling with the company, just to vent her anger.
Her heart, faintly, felt something colliding within, shock,感动, guilt. At this moment, she didn't know what else to describe her feelings with.
Because in her eyes, Zhan Mohan was never an impulsive person. He had ideas, strategies, and his own methods. He always acted with certainty.
How could such a stable man suddenly be so reckless?
Zhan Mohan's features were sharp and clear, his eyes showing determination, without even a hint of regret.
"Grandfather, I did all of this alone. It has nothing to do with Wei Yumeng. Please don't make things difficult for a pregnant woman. When Deng Xianyi released this video, his target was not just Wei Yumeng. He also didn't put our Zhan family in his eyes. With this video leaked, outsiders won't say anything about Wei Yumeng; they will think our Zhan family is being led by the nose."
"Nonsense! If it weren't for this woman, would you dare say there were no other ways to resolve this video? I don't care about anything else. You will divorce Wei Yumeng immediately and hold a press conference announcing your divorce, stating that Wei Yumeng's actions have nothing to do with you and that it was all her fault."
Elder Zhan stomped his cane in anger, his whole body trembling, showing how furious he was.
Zhan Mohan looked up in surprise, "Grandfather, our Zhan family is a leading player in the industry, renowned far and wide. How can we let a woman bear the responsibility? Besides, Wei Yumeng endured the humiliation of taking care of Deng Xianyi because of me."
"But the root of the problem comes from her!" Elder Zhan didn't want to bother with anything else now. He only wanted to save the Zhan Corporation. A mere Wei Yumeng was not something he cared about.
If Zhan Mohan refused to listen, he had his own ways, but it would be rather unsightly if things escalated to that point.
Zhan Mohan, however, was adamant, "This has nothing to do with her. It's a personal vendetta between me and Deng Xianyi. I went to the hospital to seek reconciliation that day, and he taunted me. I was angry, and Grandfather knows what kind of temper I have. I certainly had to get even."
He pushed all the responsibility onto himself, absolving Wei Yumeng completely.
Elder Zhan's patience had run out. He kept banging his cane, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
"Fine, since you're unwilling, don't blame me for being ruthless. Come, lock this unfilial grandson in the attic. Let him out when he comes to his senses."
Feng Yanfei did not expect Elder Zhan to punish Zhan Mohan. She hated Wei Yumeng, but she did not want to see Brother Mohan punished. If anyone was to be locked up, it should be this woman. Why should it be Brother Mohan?
She immediately went forward to plead, "Grandfather, this has nothing to do with Brother Mohan. It's all because of Wei Yumeng. If anyone should be punished, it should be this woman. Besides, if Brother Mohan is locked up, who will manage the company?"
Elder Zhan was also in a rage at this moment and shouted, "Is he the only descendant of our Zhan family? Isn't Yi Chen human?"
Wen Yulan was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurried forward.
"Yes, Elder, Yi Chen has wanted to contribute to the company for a long time, but he just hasn't had the opportunity. Ah Han has always been in control of the company. Yi Chen is very capable in his daily operations; he just lacks an opportunity."
She never expected that Zhan Mohan's resistance, while saving Wei Yumeng, would harm himself. Even more unexpectedly, Zhan Mohan would anger the elder to this extent.
Yi Chen's era had finally arrived. After so many years of waiting, her son finally had a chance to prove himself.
She was ecstatic at this moment. If it weren't for so many people present, she would have hosted a banquet to celebrate. It would be best if Zhan Mohan gave up the position of company president for Wei Yumeng and eloped with her, then the Zhan Corporation would definitely fall into Yi Chen's hands.
Then, the entire Zhan family would belong to them, mother and son.
Elder Zhan made his decision, "Then let Yi Chen temporarily take over his position. We'll talk about other matters when he comes to his senses."
No matter what, Zhan Mohan would not resort to violence against his family. So, when the servants came, he did not resist, only saying to Elder Zhan.
"Grandfather, it doesn't matter what happens to me. I hope you won't lay a hand on innocent people, otherwise, I will hate you."
Elder Zhan remained silent. The servants led Zhan Mohan towards the attic. Wei Yumeng wanted to follow.
"Zhan Mohan..."
"Hold her down!" Elder Zhan commanded.
Zhan Mohan turned his head, his gaze deep, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Wei Yumeng, take good care of yourself and don't worry about me."
Wei Yumeng was restrained by two servants but did not stop struggling. Her eyes were red as she looked at him.
"How can I not worry about you, Zhan Mohan? Tell me, how can I not worry about the person I love!"
For a moment, the man's expression froze completely...
