Given Zhan Mohan's current mood, he would never tell Wei Yumeng that he liked her.
A cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he let out a cynical laugh that suggested he didn't care at all.
"It's all the same to me who I marry. Even if I divorce you, Grandpa will still make me marry someone else. It's too much trouble."
Zhan Mohan's words struck her like a bolt from the blue, her pupils suddenly trembling. She couldn't believe these words were coming from Zhan Mohan.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and her heart ached. The emotions that had just begun to subside surged back.
"So, everything you said before was a lie? You just didn't want trouble, so you tricked me into staying with the Zhan family, right? You never had any feelings for me from beginning to end."
Zhan Mohan tilted his chin towards Wei Yumeng and said with a cold laugh.
"Aren't you the same?"
She had always been insincere towards him. On the surface, she acted well towards him, making him mistakenly believe she was content to stay by his side. But in the end, it was all a dream, all false.
Her acting skills were truly improving, almost deceiving him.
"I..."
Wei Yumeng wanted to say that she was different from him. She genuinely liked Zhan Mohan and had never thought of having anything to do with Xin Ran. Her heart and eyes had always been solely on Zhan Mohan.
But clearly, he wouldn't believe her now. If she said anything, she would probably be silenced by his harsh words again.
At that moment, Zhan Mohan's phone rang. He looked down to see it was Fang Xun calling.
He slid to answer, his voice a little agitated.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Zhan, the old man has suddenly been hospitalized for some reason. You should come over quickly."
Zhan Mohan's expression changed drastically. "I'll be right there!"
He quickly got up, put on his jacket, and hurried towards the door.
Wei Yumeng quickly stepped forward to stop him. "What's going on? I just heard Grandpa is in the hospital."
"I need to go see him first to know what's happening."
Zhan Mohan opened the door and left quickly, putting his matters with Wei Yumeng on hold for the moment.
Wei Yumeng quickly put on her clothes and shouted in the direction Zhan Mohan had left.
"Wait for me."
If Grandpa Zhan was hospitalized, she should go and see him, both in terms of reason and sentiment.
Just as Zhan Mohan drove his car out of the underground parking lot, he saw Wei Yumeng run over. She ran to his car, opened the door sideways, and got in.
The man frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Why can't I go? Grandpa is in trouble. If I don't go, your mother will tear me apart."
Zhan Mohan didn't refuse anymore.
"Then buckle up."
Wei Yumeng fastened her seatbelt, grabbed the handle, and felt her body lurch forward heavily, then thrown back.
She was so scared her soul almost left her body.
All the way, she didn't dare to open her eyes, only hearing the wind whistling past her ears. They finally arrived at the hospital.
When Wei Yumeng pushed open the car door, her head spun, and she almost lost her balance. Zhan Mohan reached out and steadied her.
"Are you alright?"
His tone was light, devoid of any emotion.
Wei Yumeng waved her hand uncomfortably. "Let's not talk about it, let's go see Grandpa quickly."
If something were to happen in a moment, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
Zhan Mohan then hurried over. Wei Yumeng followed him in after recovering outside. As she walked onto the corridor, she heard Wen Yulan's cries.
"If anything happens to the old man, what will our Zhan family do?"
Zhan Yichen stood beside her, comforting Wen Yulan. "Mom, don't cry yet. Grandpa will definitely be fine."
Wei Yumeng anxiously stepped forward and asked Zhan Mohan.
"Why is Grandpa suddenly in the hospital?"
Zhan Mohan remained silent. His handsome face was extremely serious, his jawline tensed, exuding an oppressive aura.
As soon as Wen Yulan saw Wei Yumeng, she got angry and yelled at her.
"How dare you ask what happened to Grandpa? Wei Yumeng, Grandpa is like this because of you, do you know that!"
Wei Yumeng looked confused. "Me... what does this have to do with me."
She hadn't even returned to the Wei family in the past two days, and even when she was at home, she rarely saw the old man. How could she have angered him?
Wen Yulan looked at Wei Yumeng with such hatred that she wished she could dismember her.
"Did you and that Xin Ran of yours do something inappropriate, and then Ah Han caught you? This news has already reached Grandpa's ears. At his age, can he withstand this?"
Wei Yumeng was stunned. What was the meaning of one wave after another? She hadn't even had a chance to explain things with Zhan Mohan about her situation with Xin Ran, and now the matter had reached Grandpa Zhan's ears.
She rubbed her forehead in annoyance. What was all this?
Wen Yulan saw that she wasn't speaking and took it as her tacit admission.
"I knew you and that Xin Ran were flirting. You were bound to betray our Ah Han sooner or later. As expected, Wei Yumeng, the evidence is conclusive. Let's see how you deny it this time."
Wei Yumeng didn't want to explain anything to Wen Yulan, because even Zhan Mohan didn't believe her, so how could Wen Yulan?
She could only vaguely say, "Nothing happened between me and Xin Ran. Believe it or not."
"Wei Yumeng, what kind of attitude is that? Do you think I'll believe you? Ah Han saw it himself. A woman like you marrying into our Zhan family is simply a jinx. After all the trouble it took for my son to get rid of Wei Jin, now you've come along and disgraced the Zhan family. Do you know what people outside are saying about Ah Han now?"
Wen Yulan spoke word for word, righteously accusing Wei Yumeng of fault, standing firmly on Zhan Mohan's side.
At this moment, Zhan Mohan's mood was complicated, and he didn't want to say a single word.
Zhan Yichen had always been protective of Zhan Mohan. Although Grandpa was sometimes strict with him, he was still family. Now that he was so angry because of Wei Yumeng that his life was in danger.
He also began to accuse Wei Yumeng, but his tone was not as harsh as before.
"Wei Yumeng, if you really don't like Big Brother, you can tell him. Our Zhan family can find a wife, we won't pester you. You really didn't need to cause this trouble with Xin Ran."
"It's really too embarrassing for this to get out now. Not only Big Brother, but all of us will be pointed at behind our backs when we go out. Do you know that!"
Wei Yumeng suddenly looked up. "Nothing happened between Xin Ran and me. We are innocent."
"Then how did you end up in the same bed as Xin Ran? Was someone framing you two? But we've already investigated. At that time, there were only the two of you in the private room at the club. If you say it was a setup, it's a bit far-fetched."
Zhan Yichen's reasoning was sound, and he had indeed investigated with Wen Yulan. It was a matter of the Zhan family's reputation, and it couldn't be taken lightly.
Wei Yumeng was still confused about this matter herself, but she knew her own body. If something had really happened, she would have felt it.
Wen Yulan didn't want to waste any more words with Wei Yumeng. She looked at the silent Zhan Mohan and asked.
"Ah Han, when are you planning to divorce her?"
