Shi Yi

Chapter 203 Can I stay here with you?

Wei Yumeng went to Zhan Group and directly to Zhan Mohan's office. She knocked on the door, and Fang Xun opened it.

"Fang Xun, where is Zhan Mohan?"

"Madam, Mr. Zhan is out, he's not in."

"He's not answering my calls," Wei Yumeng sounded anxious.

"It's quite normal for Mr. Zhan not to answer your calls. No one could accept such a thing."

Although Fang Xun knew this was outside his jurisdiction, if it were true, he would truly stand up for Mr. Zhan.

Wei Yumeng knew Fang Xun had always followed Zhan Mohan, so it was normal for him to speak up for him. However, she was being wronged in this matter.

"I really didn't do anything to betray him."

"You should go and tell that to Mr. Zhan yourself. However, he may not believe you, especially since you and Xin Ran were so..."

Fang Xun didn't want to continue.

"I didn't do anything with him." Wei Yumeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing how to make Fang Xun believe her.

"Where is the evidence, Madam? You say you didn't do anything with Xin Ran, what evidence do you have?"

Fang Xun's words hit the nail on the head, and Wei Yumeng was momentarily unable to answer.

Wei Yumeng's silence made Fang Xun uncomfortable to say more. Whether something happened or not, only they themselves knew.

"Alright, Madam, you should go and talk to Mr. Zhan about these things. It all depends on whether Mr. Zhan believes you."

"But I can't find him."

"If you can't find him, I can't do anything either." Fang Xun picked up his documents and prepared to leave, his attitude towards Wei Yumeng no longer as cordial as before.

Seeing Fang Xun about to leave, Wei Yumeng hurried to catch up.

"Fang Xun, can you help me call Zhan Mohan?"

"Madam, it's useless to look for Mr. Zhan now. He won't want to hear your explanation. If you are truly innocent, you should hurry and find evidence to prove your innocence."

Fang Xun found it difficult to speak too harshly to Wei Yumeng, but he felt that Wei Yumeng's focus should not be on finding Mr. Zhan at this moment.

Wei Yumeng pleaded with Fang Xun, "Can you just let me talk to Zhan Mohan?"

Fang Xun saw how sincere she was and couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic. He could only reluctantly agree.

"Alright, but I don't know if Mr. Zhan will pick up at this time."

He took out his phone and dialed Mr. Zhan's number. The call connected quickly. Wei Yumeng hastily said,

"Zhan Mohan, let me explain. Nothing really happened between me and Xin Ran, I..."

"Wei Yumeng, Brother Mohan doesn't have time to take your call right now."

Her heart sank. How could Feng Shimin be the one answering the phone? Her expression stiffened.

"Where is Zhan Mohan? I want to talk to him."

Feng Shimin let out a mocking laugh over the phone, "How dare you still look for Brother Mohan? After doing such a shameless thing, I already told Brother Mohan that a woman like you is not sincere towards him at all. Your heart has always been with that man named Xin Ran. Otherwise, why would you two have planned to elope before?"

"I don't want to talk to you. Give the phone to Zhan Mohan."

She couldn't explain things to Feng Shimin, and this matter had nothing to do with Feng Shimin.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mohan has already decided to divorce you. I don't think there's any need for you to entangle yourselves further."

After speaking, Feng Shimin hung up the phone.

Wei Yumeng listened to the cold beeping sound, her heart chilled by half. Now she couldn't bring herself to call again. The one answering would still be Feng Shimin. Zhan Mohan was clearly avoiding her.

Fang Xun put his phone back into his pocket, "Madam, you saw it yourself. Mr. Zhan doesn't want to see you."

Wei Yumeng could only leave Zhan Group for now. She didn't know where to go or what to do.

Meanwhile, Zhan Mohan was sitting alone in a bar, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He had tacitly allowed this. He knew Fang Xun wouldn't call him at this time.

Because when he left, he had told Fang Xun not to call him unless it was something that needed immediate attention.

If he were to call now, it would definitely be Wei Yumeng, but he didn't want to see her now, let alone say another word to her.

Feng Shimin, sitting beside him, saw Zhan Mohan constantly drinking heavily and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Brother Mohan, don't bother with someone like her. After the weekend, just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and divorce her. Let her be with whoever she wants afterwards."

Zhan Mohan remained silent, his brows furrowed, exuding a chill, and a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

Feng Shimin looked at his pained expression and hated Wei Yumeng even more. If it weren't for that woman's actions, could Brother Mohan be so melancholic?

She had grown up with Zhan Mohan, and in her memory, he had always been someone who could let go of things and move on. Nothing or no one could move him. But now, he was here drinking alone for Wei Yumeng.

Or perhaps, he had really developed feelings for Wei Yumeng.

Thinking of this, Feng Shimin clenched her skirt hem tightly, feeling both heartache for Zhan Mohan and hatred for Wei Yumeng.

Zhan Mohan finished the remaining wine in the bottle and said to Feng Shimin,

"Don't tell Grandpa and Mom about this. Don't mention a single word to anyone outside."

Feng Shimin was almost furious, "Brother Mohan, she cheated on you, and you're still protecting her."

"Grandpa's health is deteriorating day by day. He can't withstand such a blow. As for Mom, if she knows, Zhan Yichen will know. And if Zhan Yichen knows, how far is it from Grandpa knowing?"

He had to handle this matter properly. No matter the outcome, it couldn't affect the Zhan family. The Zhan family was Grandpa's lifelong effort, and it couldn't be ruined because of his personal affairs.

Feng Shimin didn't care about the Zhan family's situation anymore. She only cared whether Brother Mohan would divorce Wei Yumeng.

If they really divorced, she would have a chance. But she could clearly feel that Brother Mohan was hesitating. He wasn't as decisive as he used to be.

She outwardly agreed obediently, "Okay, I definitely won't tell Auntie and Grandpa. Don't worry. But Brother Mohan, if this goes on for too long, it might not be able to be hidden. Think about whether it's better to resolve it quickly. Besides, she has already done something that betrays you. Who knows what else she might do in the future."

Listening to Feng Shimin, Zhan Mohan became more and more annoyed. He had been slowly calming down, but with Feng Shimin's words, a surge of anger rose in him.

"Let's go back quickly."

Feng Shimin rarely had such an opportunity. How could she let it go easily?

She subconsciously put her hand through Zhan Mohan's arm, looking at him pitifully.

"Brother Mohan, you're here alone. I'm worried about you. Can you let me stay here with you?"

Zhan Mohan gazed deeply at Feng Shimin but didn't immediately refuse her. Feng Shimin was filled with anticipation.
