Wei Yumeng found the words chilling and quickly waved her hand: "No need."
After Deng Xianyi made that call, they would have no further contact.
Just then, someone entered from outside: "Young master, the master has sent us to pick you up."
Seizing the opportunity, Wei Yumeng also said: "Then I'll go handle your discharge first."
With that, she took advantage of the moment and walked out.
As she was queuing, Zhan Mohan's call suddenly came through, and she slid to answer it.
"What's wrong?"
"Deng Xianyi is being discharged today, right? I've asked Fang Xun to wait for you at the hospital entrance."
Wei Yumeng had thought Zhan Mohan's offer to pick her up was just a joke, but she hadn't expected him to actually send Fang Xun.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she said politely: "It's not necessary to trouble Fang Xun, I can take a taxi back myself."
"Wei Yumeng, are you still going to be polite with me?" the man's voice held a hint of displeasure.
"Alright, I'll wait until I've helped Deng Xianyi with his discharge paperwork."
She knew she couldn't argue with Zhan Mohan. Immediately, she remembered something else.
"Oh, right, have you received a call? I saw Deng Xianyi already called his assistant to discuss contract renewal."
"Not yet, but since he's already called, it shouldn't be a problem."
Zhan Mohan still had some faith in this. Deng Xianyi wasn't the type to go back on his word.
"Then I'll hang up. If you get any news, send me a message."
It felt like her efforts during this period wouldn't be in vain.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Wei Yumeng continued to queue.
Once all the procedures were completed, Wei Yumeng returned to the ward. Deng Xianyi and his driver were already waiting in the hallway.
Deng Xianyi tilted his head towards Wei Yumeng: "Let's go, I'll drive you back."
"No need, you guys go ahead."
Wei Yumeng didn't want any further entanglement with Deng Xianyi. His moods were volatile, even harder to fathom than Zhan Mohan's. At least Zhan Mohan was normal; Deng Xianyi's actions and words at times were incomprehensible.
Just thinking about those few days felt like a nightmare.
Deng Xianyi suddenly spoke: "Zhan Mohan is coming to pick you up, isn't he?"
Wei Yumeng answered frankly: "Yes."
Deng Xianyi waved his hand, showing utter disdain.
"What a heartless woman. We spent a week together, and you're saying goodbye just like that."
Wei Yumeng scoffed: "Mr. Deng tormented me for a week, it wasn't 'spending time together.' I believe that besides you enjoying yourself, this week wasn't a very good memory for me either."
Who would willingly care for a man who had hit them, literally helping him with his bodily functions, and then having to rush over an hour to buy him breakfast before dawn every day?
Deng Xianyi pointed at Wei Yumeng: "You really hold a grudge."
"If Mr. Deng has nothing else, you should leave quickly. Old Master Deng must be missing you."
"We'll meet again."
After they parted ways, Wei Yumeng got into Fang Xun's car. Fang Xun greeted her.
"Madam."
"Fang Xun, please take me home. I need to freshen myself up and get a good night's sleep."
"You must be exhausted, Madam. That Deng Xianyi is not easy to deal with. You must have suffered a lot to change his mind."
Fang Xun could imagine how Deng Xianyi had treated Wei Yumeng these past few days. She had even become thinner. No wonder Young Master Zhan was so concerned.
He suspected that once Young Master Zhan recovered, Deng Xianyi would eventually face consequences.
This offense against his wife was unforgivable.
Wei Yumeng waved her hand wearily: "Don't mention it, it was a nightmare."
"You've worked hard, Madam. I'll take you home first."
Fang Xun truly admired Wei Yumeng this time. If she hadn't been willing to set aside her pride to plead with Deng Xianyi, the company's crisis might not have been overcome.
After Fang Xun dropped her off and returned to the company, he received the renewal notification from Deng Corporation on the way. Upon arriving at the company, he immediately delivered the good news to Zhan Mohan.
He pushed the door open without even knocking, his voice filled with excitement.
"Young Master Zhan, Deng Corporation has called. They want to continue our contract, and the final payment will be transferred to our company account immediately."
"I've already received it." Zhan Mohan's voice was cold, his expression unruffled, showing no hint of joy.
Fang Xun felt something was amiss: "Young Master Zhan, why… aren't you happy?"
Zhan Mohan curled his lips into a sneer: "My wife endured so much humiliation to achieve this. What is there to be happy about?"
Not only was he not happy, but he now had the urge to kill Deng Xianyi.
His wife was his to bully; it was never Deng Xianyi's place to torment her, that pervert.
Fang Xun knew that Young Master Zhan was very protective of Wei Yumeng, and in fact, he was protective of anyone he considered important, especially his family.
He also knew that Deng Xianyi's actions had struck a blow to Young Master Zhan's pride, and he must have felt terrible. If it weren't for Madam's strong intervention yesterday, Deng Xianyi might not have even been able to leave the hospital.
"Young Master Zhan, don't be too angry. Now that the matter is resolved, can't we think about how to get back at Deng Xianyi? We'll settle the score eventually, no need to rush."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan's gloomy expression gradually eased. A sinister smile flickered in his eyes, sending chills down Fang Xun's spine.
He wondered if Young Master Zhan was planning some major move.
A sly glint appeared in Zhan Mohan's eyes: "When the branch company is ready, tell Deng Corporation to increase their investment, say the project funds are insufficient."
Fang Xun immediately understood what Zhan Mohan was planning.
"But Young Master Zhan, Deng Corporation will know with their eyes closed that we're retaliating. The contract clearly states that once a project begins, the client can request additional investment within reasonable limits. If the client refuses, the project will be suspended, and the client will have to compensate for the client's losses and labor costs."
Because of the cooperation with Zhan Corporation, this clause had to be signed first. Although it was an unreasonable term, many still vied for the opportunity to work with Zhan Corporation.
Zhan Mohan gave Fang Xun a cold sideways glance: "When he dealt with me, did he ever consider showing mercy?"
Fang Xun suddenly felt some sympathy for Deng Xianyi. Who told him to offend Young Master Zhan? Young Master Zhan was a person who always sought revenge, especially when his wife was involved this time.
Then it was even more impossible to let Deng Xianyi off the hook.
Fang Xun nodded slightly: "I'll do it immediately."
"Also, go investigate how Deng Xianyi tormented my wife during those days. Since we're settling accounts, it must be done one by one, clearly and meticulously."
Fang Xun's eye twitched: "Young Master Zhan, you're not planning to torture Deng Xianyi to death, are you?"
"How could I torture him to death? I'll just make him wish he were dead."
Zhan Mohan's gaze was deep, and a sharp aura emanated from him. Fang Xun instinctively took a step back. Young Master Zhan was truly terrifying.
He would have to be more careful with his words in the future, lest he offend Young Master Zhan. This was simply killing without a visible weapon.
When Wei Yumeng woke up, it was already eleven o'clock at night. After returning home, she had taken a bath and changed her clothes, feeling incredibly comfortable.
She had never realized how refreshing a bath could be. She had never said she only changed clothes once a week; this was all thanks to Deng Xianyi.
She pushed aside the covers and got out of bed, intending to go to the bathroom and then consider whether to cook something herself or order takeout.
Just as she was about to enter the kitchen to check if there was anything edible in the refrigerator, the doorbell rang.
She was still wondering who would come at such a late hour.
She opened the door and saw a man in a suit and tie leaning against the doorframe. She was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
