"Then I can only... resign first, and see if you're willing to come to our company."
Wei Yumeng was a bit stunned. "You... you have a company?"
If Chu Zi'an had a company, why would he be working here?
Chu Zi'an lowered his head and chuckled. "Did you really think I was an employee here? Didn't Zhan Mohan tell you?"
Wei Yumeng looked confused. "Tell me what?"
"I have my own company, and I've known Zhan Mohan since we were kids. It's just that he probably doesn't remember me."
After all, he was brilliant from a young age, while she was just an invisible presence hidden in a corner. How could he remember her?
Wei Yumeng was utterly shocked. "If you have a company, why did you come to Zhan's Group?"
In this day and age, did people really abandon their own companies to become ordinary employees in others'?
Chu Zi'an raised his hand and tapped her head. "Have you forgotten the main issue? Is this the time to talk about these things?"
Wei Yumeng then remembered.
"Sorry, sorry. Please continue."
"That's it. You resign, and then come to my company."
"Then... I'll try." Wei Yumeng also didn't want to stay at Zhan's Group any longer, especially seeing Zhan Mohan and Jiang Siyu every day. It felt like she was tormenting herself.
She said it didn't matter, but she was still human with flesh and blood. Seeing it would still hurt. Who would want to see the person they liked spending all their time with another woman? Even if there was no affection, it could develop. Not to mention they were ex-lovers.
"Okay, if things go well on your end, I can arrange your employment."
"Alright, I'll go now." Wei Yumeng made up her mind and prepared to write her resignation letter.
"Wait a moment. You'd better write it in a couple of days. If you write it now, won't it arouse Zhan Mohan's suspicion? Also, has Zhan Mohan discovered anything?"
Chu Zi'an rarely saw Wei Yumeng looking so flustered.
Wei Yumeng's head ached when this was mentioned. "Please don't bring it up. I was almost discovered today. I was dragged to the B-ultrasound room door. Dr. Yang was nowhere to be found, and I couldn't find anyone to help."
"Did he find out then?"
"Not yet. I pretended to be very angry and managed to slip away."
However, one could only evade the immediate, not the inevitable. This was the most worrying part.
Chu Zi'an rubbed his temples. "Then you need to be careful. Since he dragged you to the B-ultrasound room door, he must have become suspicious of you. You need to minimize contact with him now. You two are divorced, aren't you?"
Wei Yumeng's shoulders slumped when she heard this. "I only found out today that we didn't actually divorce. We just signed a divorce agreement."
Chu Zi'an was startled. "Not divorced!"
The entire company now believed that Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan were divorced, but it turned out they weren't.
This was truly extraordinary for Zhan Mohan. But why would he do this? Chu Zi'an dared not to think about it.
Immediately after, Wei Yumeng saw him smirk and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I was thinking, Zhan Mohan is really unexpected. I thought he would never forgive you for something like this, but... he didn't choose to divorce you."
Chu Zi'an was now certain that Wei Yumeng had changed Zhan Mohan in some aspects. Jiang Siyu probably had no chance.
Wei Yumeng frowned and scratched her hair in distress.
"I want to divorce him, otherwise I can't keep the child in my womb!"
"Then what will you do now? He still won't divorce you. Or I have another way. You can make him give up. Once he gives up, he'll definitely divorce you immediately."
Wei Yumeng looked a little confused. "What do you mean?"
Chu Zi'an raised the corner of his lips wickedly and leaned close to Wei Yumeng's ear, whispering.
"Make Zhan Mohan suspect that you're with someone else again."
"That won't work! He'll kill me." Wei Yumeng refused without even thinking.
She couldn't take that risk again. The look on Zhan Mohan's face when he saw her with Xin Ran last time was still vivid in her memory. If she provoked him again, who knew what other major problems would arise.
"Yumeng, why are you still here? Fang Xun has been looking for you for a long time."
Mu Linjing looked for her everywhere in a panic.
Wei Yumeng turned her head and saw Mu Linjing approaching. She asked nervously.
"Why is Fang Xun looking for me?"
Now, just hearing Fang Xun's name made her extremely nervous, for fear that Zhan Mohan was looking for him.
"I don't know. What's wrong with you? I overheard Jiang Siyu speaking sarcastically, as if you left Mr. Zhan alone at the hospital."
"He deserves it. He didn't ask me to accompany him for a dressing change; he was clearly setting a trap for me!"
She was furious when she talked about this.
"Don't worry about that now. Hurry and go find Fang Xun. What if he really needs you?"
Mu Linjing grabbed Wei Yumeng and left.
Wei Yumeng was dragged back to her seat by Mu Linjing. Wei Yumeng was still wondering.
"Didn't you tell me to go find Fang Xun? Why did you bring me here?"
"Are you silly? I just happened to see Director Feng watching you two for a long time just now."
Mu Linjing had also overheard someone reporting to Feng Yanfei when she passed by Feng Yanfei's office. Feng Yanfei quickly went to the hallway.
She couldn't immediately remind Wei Yumeng, so she could only find an excuse to separate them temporarily to avoid misunderstandings.
Wei Yumeng's face suddenly changed when she heard this. "You said Feng Shiming was nearby just now? How long was she standing there?"
"I don't know. She was already standing there when I arrived, but she was quite far away. Whether she overheard your conversation, I'm not sure."
Mu Linjing had done her best.
Wei Yumeng's heart sank. "I didn't expect anyone to be there. I hope Feng Yanfei didn't hear anything. Otherwise, I won't even need to resign; Zhan Mohan will know everything."
Mu Linjing held Wei Yumeng's trembling hand and also began to worry for her.
"Why do I feel like you're walking closer and closer to the edge of a cliff? What if Mr. Zhan finds out?"
"Right now, there's a more pressing issue than being discovered." Chu Zi'an had just told her not to resign for the time being, but her heart was pounding so hard, she couldn't wait a moment longer.
No, she had to submit her resignation letter now.
Mu Linjing saw Wei Yumeng bending down to rummage through a drawer and then saw her take out a resignation letter. Her eyes widened.
"You're resigning!"
"I have to resign. If I stay any longer, I'll really be finished."
Zhan Mohan hadn't divorced her, so he would definitely investigate her further in the future. She couldn't let him suspect her again.
The only way was to stay away and then find another way to divorce him.
Setting aside other things, she had to find a way to protect the child. At least, she had to hold on until she could do a paternity test. That way, no matter what the result, she was willing to accept it.
Instead of making decisions about the child's fate when nothing was clear.
Mu Linjing looked at her getting up and stopped her. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Wei Yumeng nodded heavily. "I've made up my mind. I'm going now."
"What if he doesn't agree?" Mu Linjing thought Mr. Zhan probably wouldn't allow Wei Yumeng to resign.
"Whether he agrees or not, I've already decided to resign." At worst, she wouldn't get this month's salary.
With that, she walked towards Zhan Mohan's office with the resignation letter. She stopped, raised her hand to knock, and the action was smooth.
A calm male voice came from inside.
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and walked in. Zhan Mohan was sitting in his office chair, holding a cup of coffee. He looked up and saw Wei Yumeng, his brow furrowing instantly, a displeased expression on his face.
"Who let you in? Get out!"
Wei Yumeng knew he was still angry about the incident at the hospital, but she couldn't care about that now. She walked straight over and placed the resignation letter in front of him.
"Mr. Zhan, I'm resigning!"
Zhan Mohan looked at the resignation letter in front of him. A moment of surprise flashed in his complex eyes, and then he cast a cold glance at her.
"Guilty conscience?"
"I'm not guilty, I just don't want to stay here anymore."
She tried to be vague, so that Zhan Mohan wouldn't follow her words and try to extract other information.
Zhan Mohan toyed with the pen in his hand, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"Do you think that by clinging to Chu Zi'an, you no longer need to rely on Zhan's Group?"
Wei Yumeng's heart skipped a beat, and surprise flashed in her eyes. She blurted out directly.
"Did Feng Shiming tell you?"
