Before Wei Yumeng could answer, Wen Yulan couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Wei Yumeng, don't you want to be with our A'han? Then you have to show your determination. You can't possibly be pregnant with that bastard and still swagger into our Zhan family's main gate. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
Feng Shiming's eyes held a triumphant gleam as she looked at Wei Yumeng.
"Wei Yumeng, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that your words to my brother were all insincere? Or are you just looking for someone to take the blame, wanting to give birth to a child and have our Zhan family raise it for someone else?"
Faced with their questioning, Wei Yumeng showed no panic. Instead, her calmness was surprisingly striking.
Feng Shiming turned her head to Jiang Siyu and said, "Sister Siyu, what's going on with Wei Yumeng? Why do I feel she's a bit too calm?"
Jiang Siyu shook her head. For a moment, she didn't know what Wei Yumeng was up to. However, seeing her seemingly confident demeanor, she wasn't entirely sure anymore.
Seeing Wei Yumeng remain silent, Old Master Zhan urged, "What, weren't you quite talkative just now? Now you're unwilling to abort the child in your belly?"
"What if I said the child in my belly could possibly be yours, then would you still insist I abort it?"
Wei Yumeng's gaze was bright and sharp, and her words carried an unusual confidence. There was no hint of guilt on her face.
Her words were like a thunderclap out of the blue, stunning everyone present.
It was Wen Yulan who reacted first. "Are you joking? Wei Yumeng, to stay in the Zhan family, you'd even fabricate such a lie? How laughable."
Feng Shiming couldn't help but roll her eyes, her dislike for Wei Yumeng deepening.
"Exactly, how can you make up such a lie, Wei Yumeng, don't you think you're shameless?"
Jiang Siyu's gaze towards Wei Yumeng now was as if she wanted to devour her alive.
She was the most furious among everyone present.
"Wei Yumeng, whether or not you're carrying the Zhan family's child, and whether or not there's a chance it's A'han's, you can't deny that you betrayed him. Someone like you, whose body and mind no longer belong to him, even if the child in your belly were his, would the Zhan family want it?"
Wen Yulan looked at the ring on her finger and let out an arrogant snort, "Do you think we lack women to give A'han children?"
With the Zhan family's reputation and influence in the industry, countless young ladies from prominent families were vying to marry Zhan Mohan.
Why would Wei Yumeng think the Zhan family would necessarily want the child in her belly?
Wei Yumeng stopped speaking because she realized that perhaps Wen Yulan was right. The Zhan family didn't necessarily have to want the child in her belly, and there were indeed many people who wanted to give birth to children for Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan then spoke, "I do."
His tone was firm and powerful.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan in surprise. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing. Even though the child in her belly might not be his, he was willing to let her keep it.
If things could truly change, she wished with all her heart that the child in her belly was Zhan Mohan's.
Old Master Zhan's face turned ashen with anger, and he roared in fury.
"You rebellious son!"
Saying this, he raised his cane and was about to strike Zhan Mohan. However, Wei Yumeng suddenly lunged at Zhan Mohan, shielding him. Zhan Mohan's pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't stop her in time.
The cane landed heavily on Wei Yumeng's back. She lurched forward, and if Zhan Mohan hadn't caught her, she would have fallen to the ground. Whether the child in her belly could be saved after this fall was uncertain.
The sudden turn of events was so rapid that no one could react. They could only watch helplessly.
However, the outcome was satisfactory to others. That blow landed on Wei Yumeng.
Feng Shiming subtly smiled, and Jiang Siyu wore the same expression.
Wen Yulan even wished the blow had landed on both of them. It was a shame it only hit Wei Yumeng.
What a pity.
Zhan Mohan's face changed drastically. "Yumeng, are you alright?"
Wei Yumeng's face was pale, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead. She leaned weakly in Zhan Mohan's arms and forced a shake of her head.
"I... I'm fine."
She tightly grasped Zhan Mohan's arm and turned to look at the equally shocked Old Master Zhan.
"Now, can you agree to me being with Zhan Mohan?"
Old Master Zhan threw down his cane, even more enraged. "You are simply making a mockery of everything!"
With that, he turned and walked towards the upstairs. Wen Yulan, seeing Old Master Zhan leave, quickly stood up.
"Grandpa..."
If the old man left, who would deal with Wei Yumeng's situation? Wouldn't that be equivalent to tacitly approving her entry?
Feng Shiming was anxious at the side and tugged on Wen Yulan's hand, "Auntie, what should we do? We can't just stand by and watch Wei Yumeng come back like this, can we?"
"You ask me? What can I do? Haven't you seen how it is? Who can stop it now?"
Wen Yulan also turned and went upstairs in anger.
Zhan Mohan immediately carried Wei Yumeng back to their room and instructed Fang Xun, who was following behind.
"Quickly, call Jing Yan over to take a look!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhan."
Fang Xun took out his phone and dialed Jing Yan's number.
As Zhan Mohan, holding Wei Yumeng, rushed past Jiang Siyu, Jiang Siyu stared at him blankly.
"A'han..."
The man glanced at her dismissively. "It's nothing. You can go back first."
"I..." Jiang Siyu hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to say such a thing to her. What did he mean by "if it's nothing, you can go back first"?
Did he mean he was annoyed even seeing her now? What was so special about this Wei Yumeng that he would still protect her like this after she had betrayed him?
She absolutely couldn't let her succeed.
Zhan Mohan carried Wei Yumeng into the room and placed her on the bed, handling her with extreme care, afraid of bumping or bruising her.
"Does it hurt? I'll have Jing Yan check if you've injured any bones later."
Wei Yumeng didn't want Zhan Mohan to worry. "I'm fine, don't worry too much."
The man's expression had been gloomy since earlier, as if shrouded in frost, yet his tone when speaking to her was incredibly gentle.
"Why did you block it for me? Aren't you concerned about the child in your belly? Why would you do something so risky?"
Wei Yumeng forced a smile. "Because if I didn't, he definitely wouldn't let me into the Zhan family's main gate. You've already done enough for me. I'm not heartless, how could I not feel it?"
She saw and remembered everything he had done for her.
Zhan Mohan's gaze was complex. "I only hope you won't blame me later."
Wei Yumeng frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"May I come in?" At this moment, Jing Yan knocked on the door from outside.
"Come in!"
Jing Yan entered with a medical bag and was stunned when he saw Wei Yumeng.
"What's your situation? Why did you bring this woman back again?"
Zhan Mohan glared at Jing Yan warningly, and Jing Yan immediately shut his mouth, intimidated.
Wei Yumeng also looked embarrassed. She knew that due to Xin Ran's incident, Jing Yan's prejudice against her was significant, but she could understand.
Jing Yan dared not provoke Zhan Mohan. This man was like a doting husband; if anyone dared to provoke Wei Yumeng, he would act like he was going to eat them.
She hadn't realized he was so devoted before, but now she saw that when this man was devoted, it was simply deadly.
He coughed lightly, covering his mouth. "I'll come over and check what's wrong with her. Where are you hurt?"
"My back. Check if there's any bone damage."
Zhan Mohan moved aside, making way for Jing Yan.
Jing Yan rolled up her clothes and looked. A clear purplish mark.
"It's not serious. It shouldn't be a bone injury. However, these injuries on her... did you do this?"
Jing Yan asked this question cautiously, his eyes darting upwards, afraid of provoking Zhan Mohan's displeasure again.
Zhan Mohan looked at Jing Yan with a look that suggested he was an idiot. "Do you think it was me?"
Would I dare to?
