"No, Young Master Zhan, wait a moment." Fang Xun wanted to say that if Young Master Zhan went out directly like this, wouldn't it be a violation of Old Master Zhan's orders?
With Old Master Zhan's temper, if he had an outburst, Young Master Zhan would be in trouble again.
Zhan Mohan exuded a sharp aura as he strode into Wen Yulan's room.
Fang Xun tried to dissuade him, "Young Master Zhan, it's so late, perhaps tomorrow..."
"Get lost!" The man shoved Fang Xun aside and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Sister Li, seeing Zhan Mohan knocking, hurried forward, "Eldest Young Master, it's so late, what do you need Madam for?"
"It's none of your business, move aside!"
The man was like a furious lion at this moment, his eyes sharp, making Sister Li instinctively shrink her neck and dare not make another sound.
Wen Yulan was sleeping soundly when she was disturbed by the persistent knocking. She put on her clothes to open the door, just as she was about to erupt.
"Who is it in the middle of the night... A Han, you..."
How was he let out?
She suddenly became stern, glancing at everyone present, and questioned.
"Who let the Eldest Young Master out? You are simply too... too disrespectful of the Master."
Fang Xun remained silent, not daring to meet Wen Yulan's gaze.
Zhan Mohan walked up to Wen Yulan, the suppressed anger causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.
"It was you and Shi Yi, using the excuse of sending Wei Yumeng back, who sent her to the hospital for an abortion, wasn't it?"
Wen Yulan did not expect Zhan Mohan to find out so quickly, nor did she know who had told him.
Her threatening gaze subconsciously swept towards Fang Xun, making him tremble inwardly.
Immediately after, Wen Yulan tried to explain to Zhan Mohan, after all, she did not dare to confront him directly yet.
"A Han, listen to me, we also didn't know the situation. It was the Master's order, and we could only obey."
Her tone made it sound as if she was being forced to do it, a picture of helplessness.
The man's anger flared, his brows furrowing. He was also displeased, though subtly.
"Don't tell me you didn't wish for the child in Wei Yumeng's womb to be gone."
Wen Yulan retorted with her hands spread wide, "But who can guarantee that the child in Wei Yumeng's womb is yours? What if it's Xin Ran's? Our Zhan family cannot afford to lose face!"
"The examination hasn't been done yet, and the results are still unknown. Mother, there's no need to jump to conclusions so early!"
Zhan Mohan's attitude was resolute, his eyes still as cold as ice, showing no intention of backing down. His imposing aura pressed down on Wen Yulan.
Wen Yulan suddenly let out a mocking laugh, "You don't actually think the child in Wei Yumeng's womb is yours, do you?"
She simply couldn't understand how Zhan Mohan, who was usually so mature and steady, could believe such a lie. Even if it was his child, would that prove Wei Yumeng hadn't had anything happen with Xin Ran?
She knew Zhan Mohan well; he had a洁癖 (jiépǐ - a preference for cleanliness and order) in his life, let alone in matters of the heart.
Even without their interference, his relationship with Wei Yumeng wouldn't have lasted.
Zhan Mohan's handsome face showed a serious expression. His comfortable features became particularly wild and intensely solemn at this moment.
"I don't care whose child it is in her womb. I only know that the person I, Zhan Mohan, want to protect, no one is allowed to harm!"
Wen Yulan was almost suffocated with anger, "You child, why are you so persistent? A Han, our family has no precedent for raising other people's children, let alone the Zhan family. No one does."
Zhan Mohan would not listen to Wen Yulan. She didn't consider his well-being; she only ever thought of herself and Zhan Yichen.
"What I'm talking about now is you and Feng Shiyun forcing Wei Yumeng to go to the hospital for an abortion!"
"For that, you'll have to find the Master. It has nothing to do with us. We were merely following the Master's orders."
Wen Yulan directly shifted the blame to Old Master Zhan.
Zhan Mohan's lips tightened, "Mother, we've known each other for many years. We know each other well. There's no need to pretend. I told you long ago, if you dare to touch her again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Upon hearing Zhan Mohan's words, Wen Yulan immediately had a bad premonition, her expression changing.
"A Han, are you crazy? We are your family. If that Wei Yumeng truly loved you, how could she betray you? Moreover, she will leave you sooner or later!"
"No matter what happens to her in the future, at least now, she still bears my Zhan family name and is my wife, Zhan Mohan's wife. I will not allow anyone to bully her. Furthermore, if the child in her womb is mine, can you bear the consequences of harming a descendant of the Zhan family?"
Saying this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, as if a realization had dawned upon him, and he added.
"Oh right, I suppose Mother wouldn't be afraid, after all, you've already harmed one."
Wen Yulan's face lost all color at Zhan Mohan's words.
Due to the commotion Zhan Mohan had caused, many servants had been woken up and had come to watch.
When those people heard about Wen Yulan's past, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"It seems the Eldest Young Master still holds a grudge about this matter."
"Yes, it's normal to think about it. Their own child was harmed like this. Anyone would feel uncomfortable. Besides, we all know that the Eldest Young Master is not Mrs.'s biological son, so it's normal for him to have other intentions."
Wen Yulan probably heard them and immediately shot a fierce glare at the servant, who promptly shut her mouth.
Feng Shiyun, hearing the commotion, rushed over.
"In the middle of the night, what are you all doing..."
As soon as she arrived, she saw Zhan Mohan and Wen Yulan standing in opposition, the atmosphere tense.
She looked at Zhan Mohan in surprise, "Brother Mo Han, why are you out? Didn't Grandpa say you should reflect on your mistakes inside?"
Zhan Mohan glanced coldly at Feng Shiyun. His gaze was fierce, like an invisible pair of hands tightening around her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Feng Shiyun's eyes darted nervously. She cautiously asked.
"Brother Mo Han, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The man stood tall, his aura incredibly imposing. He asked Feng Shiyun.
"It was you and Mother who coerced Wei Yumeng into going to the hospital for an abortion, wasn't it? Feng Shiyun, I've treated you as a sister for so many years. From now on, I don't care who you are. If you touch my bottom line, I will make you pay the price!"
He turned around, his voice cold, "This time, let's start with Yichen. He knows nothing at the company, and I don't think he's competent for any position. It's better for him to go home and be the Second Young Master. And Shiyun, you'll stay at home these few days and are not allowed to go anywhere. If you dare to step out of the Zhan residence, I will break your legs!"
