"I don't think Wei Jin is lying. The other day when I took her to the hospital, her reaction was very strong."
She even dared to yell at him, which was unlike her. Her reaction was more like she was hiding something.
Fang Xun didn't understand, "But even if Madam is really pregnant, we can't force her to cooperate with the examination, can we?"
"Who said we have to force her? Use your flexibility," Zhan Mohan cast a cold glance at Fang Xun.
"Alright, flexibility it is. But if Madam finds out you're scheming against her behind her back, will she hate you?"
"I just want the truth." This concerned the Zhan family's heir and whether she had any connection with Xin Ran. It was not only important for her, but also for himself.
Fang Xun nodded slightly, "I'll do it right away."
"Also, regarding the Xin family, let's start by acquiring their stock and then bring over the business partners who usually cooperate with them."
Fang Xun frowned, "Are you going to make a move against the Xin family, President Zhan?"
"If I don't make a move, how will he tell me the truth?"
He had met Xin Ran before, but he always had doubts about Xin Ran's words. He could disregard his own interests, but he had to consider his family.
If Xin Ran refused to tell the truth, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless and destroy everything the Xin family possessed.
Fang Xun's hair stood on end as he listened. Indeed, President Zhan was already exceptionally gentle with Madam. Seeing what he was doing to the Xin family now, Fang Xun felt as though he was seeing the decisive and efficient President Zhan from the beginning again.
He wasn't without his edge; he simply concealed it when he was in front of the person he loved. He hoped Madam would also realize President Zhan's genuine feelings for her soon.
Perhaps the one who loved her most had always been by her side, rather than Xin Ran, who rarely appeared.
After her plan to resign failed, Wei Yumeng felt dejected and was dispirited every day. Mu Linjing was trying to comfort her.
"Don't think too much about it. If you can't leave now, you can find another way later."
"But you know, Zhan Mohan must still suspect me, which is why he's deliberately not letting me resign."
Although she couldn't see through that man's mind, she could occasionally guess his intentions.
It had become obvious since that day at the hospital.
"Then you..."
"Wait, my phone is ringing."
Mu Linjing was about to comfort her further when Wei Yumeng's phone vibrated again. She had to stop for the moment.
Wei Yumeng didn't expect to receive a call from Wei Jin. A bad premonition washed over her, as Wei Jin was the only one who had confirmed her pregnancy.
It was just that she had no proof, so Zhan Mohan didn't believe her, but it had successfully aroused his suspicion.
She didn't want to answer, yet she was afraid Wei Jin would cause some trouble. After hesitating for a moment, she finally slid to answer.
"If you're planning any schemes, I advise you to give up now."
Wei Jin sounded hesitant on the phone, even more so as if she was reluctant.
"I... I'm calling to apologize. Can you please not hold it against me, considering we share the same father?"
After hearing this, Wei Yumeng couldn't help but laugh, "Wei Jin, are you still dreaming? Have you woken up?"
Didn't she know what kind of person she was? The look in her eyes at the hospital last time was as if she wanted to tear her apart. How could someone like that come to apologize to her?
She had always believed in the saying that one wouldn't visit without a reason, and there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"I... my mind is perfectly clear. I'm here to apologize."
Wei Yumeng curved her lips into a sneer, her tone full of disdain.
"I'm sorry, I don't accept."
Wei Jin was forced to apologize to Wei Yumeng in the first place. To her surprise, Wei Yumeng didn't accept. Her willful temper flared up.
"Wei Yumeng, don't be ungrateful. It's already a lot that I called to apologize to you. You're putting on airs here."
"Did I ask you to apologize? Do you think a few nice words and I'll forgive everything you've done to me? Don't forget, it was you who framed me and made me take the blame for you!"
She had been wronged by the Zhan family for so long and endured so much pain in her heart. Could she forgive Wei Jin with her insincere apology?
If that were the case, wouldn't everyone be able to frame others as they pleased in the future?
Wei Jin listened to Wei Yumeng's assertive tone and her irrefutable words. She was unwilling to be spoken down by Wei Yumeng, and without thinking, she retorted.
"That's because you're stupid. Who told you not to get to know Zhan Mohan earlier? However, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be able to fascinate Zhan Mohan to this extent."
Wei Yumeng immediately understood the meaning behind Wei Jin's words. She knitted her brows.
"Did Zhan Mohan send you to apologize to me?"
"He didn't send me to apologize to you. Because of you, he played a trick behind our backs and snatched away our company's project. Do you know how much money we'll lose if we don't get these two projects back? It's hundreds of millions, something you'll never earn in your lifetime."
Even at this point, Wei Jin couldn't forget to taunt Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng, however, asked coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Since she married into the Zhan family, she hadn't benefited in any way, whether in honor or wealth, from the Wei family. Now, for Wei Jin to question her so righteously was truly laughable.
Wei Jin was choked by Wei Yumeng's nonchalant words, unable to speak for a long time. Wei Yumeng's thoughts, however, were flowing smoothly at this moment.
"By the way, weren't you supposed to apologize to me? Is this the attitude you're showing? How will you explain this to Father?"
"Wei Yumeng, you... don't try to wield power with a chicken feather as a command! You dare to order me around? What are you?"
"I'm nothing, but I do know that a project worth hundreds of millions is gone just because of your attitude. I feel sorry for you all. Well, since you have no sincerity, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. Goodbye."
With that, she hung up without giving Wei Jin a chance to react.
Mu Linjing, who had been listening nearby, looked at Wei Yumeng in shock.
"Did you hear that? President Zhan asked Wei Jin to apologize to you, which proves he still cares about you."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that he cares about me. It's just that Wei Jin probably went to him and said some unpleasant things. Zhan Mohan hates being threatened and deceived the most. Moreover, Wei Jin had bumped into him and Zhan Lin before. He had a thousand reasons to teach Wei Jin a lesson, but not one reason would be for me."
She didn't want to be overly optimistic and think she was that desirable.
Fang Xun walked over then, and Wei Yumeng immediately stopped the topic.
"Wei Yumeng, I have something to tell you. Come here."
"Oh, okay."
It was the first time Wei Yumeng had heard Fang Xun say her name, and she felt a bit unaccustomed to it. Not to mention her, the most awkward one was actually Fang Xun.
He felt a bit like he was overstepping his bounds, but he couldn't call her Madam at the company.
Mu Linjing, being tactful, said, "Then you two chat. I'll go get busy."
Wei Yumeng walked aside with Fang Xun. Wei Yumeng asked him.
"What's wrong, Fang Xun?"
"President Zhan wants to see you about something. He wants you to go to his office."
He was supposed to convey the message, but later President Zhan changed his mind for some reason.
Whenever Wei Yumeng was asked to meet Zhan Mohan, she felt a bit scared. She still vividly remembered the scene at the hospital that day.
She asked awkwardly, "Fang Xun, if there's something, can you pass on the message?"
Fang Xun feigned difficulty.
"Madam, please don't make it difficult for me. Here at the company, Zhan Mohan is not only your superior but also mine. If I don't obey his orders, I..."
Wei Yumeng lowered her head, "I understand. I'll go over now."
Fang Xun then smiled, "Good."
Wei Yumeng walked towards Zhan Mohan's office with a heart full of apprehension.
She pushed open the door, "President Zhan."
Zhan Mohan beckoned her over, "Come in. I have something to tell you."
Wei Yumeng's eyes twitched. Could it be that he had learned something from Wei Jin and wanted to interrogate her again?
She walked slowly towards him, trying her best to remain calm, and asked.
"Please tell me what you need, President Zhan."
At the company, he was still her superior. She didn't want to bring personal feelings into work. This address, "President Zhan," was also a reminder to him not to discuss private matters with her often.
Zhan Mohan's sharp gaze saw through the fear in her eyes and her inner unease.
He rubbed his temples and suddenly sneered, "Are you afraid I'll drag you to the hospital again?"
