Medical professionals can now perform paternity tests a few months later to determine the child's father.
If it were Zhan Mohan's, it would at least prove that she might not have done anything with Xin Ran.
She wondered when she could talk to Xin Ran again. After all, she was divorced because of this matter, so he should know how things unfolded.
After much consideration, Wei Yumeng decided to find Xin Ran first.
When Feng Shiming arrived at the hospital, the doctor was still talking to Zhan Mohan inside.
"You should have been discharged a week ago, but now, due to your wound not healing very well, you might need ten days. Come back for a check-up after ten days."
Zhan Mohan's expression was somber, and his voice sounded colder than usual.
"Can I be discharged earlier? This injury is minor; I'll be careful when I get back."
The doctor shook his head helplessly. "You people are really reckless. Look, it's fortunate that the lady who came earlier asked me to check your wound, or it might have become troublesome again."
Zhan Mohan's stern face showed a slight change upon hearing this.
"You mean the one with long hair?"
"Yes, who else? The one from yesterday went home this morning. The young lady was quite worried about you. She didn't see your wound bleeding, so she insisted I check on you. I'll remind you again, if you want to be discharged early, don't mess around anymore."
As the doctor spoke, he got up to leave, but he bumped into Feng Shiming at the doorway. Feng Shiming immediately asked the doctor,
"Is my Brother Mohan's injury alright? Did it split open?"
"It hasn't today. Just make sure he rests well, family member."
"Thank you, Doctor." Feng Shiming was usually quite gentle, except when dealing with Wei Yumeng.
After the doctor left, Feng Shiming walked to Zhan Mohan's side, her face filled with worry.
"Brother Mohan, did Wei Yumeng make you angry again?"
Zhan Mohan skipped the question and asked her instead.
"Why are you here?"
"Wei Yumeng asked me to come," Feng Shiming replied righteously.
Zhan Mohan frowned, his handsome face showing a hint of displeasure.
"Where is she?"
"She must have left. Brother Mohan, don't think about her. You two are separated now. Instead of clinging to this indiscreet woman, you might as well look at Jiang Siyu. At least she's devoted to you now. Even though she made mistakes before, she had her reasons."
Feng Shiming had no good feelings towards Wei Yumeng at all. She disliked her from the moment she married in, and now that she had betrayed Brother Mohan, she disliked her even more.
Zhan Mohan glanced at Feng Shiming and said resolutely,
"It's impossible for me and her!"
"Then is it possible for you and Wei Yumeng? Can you swallow that anger? Brother Mohan, think about it yourself. If you were with Wei Yumeng in the future, seeing her would remind you of Xin Ran. Could you get past that hurdle in your heart?"
"I will investigate her matter with Xin Ran."
Zhan Mohan's eyes were cold, his lips tightly pressed, looking displeased.
Feng Shiming was completely defeated. "You're truly poisoned by Wei Yumeng. But I have something to tell you, perhaps then you'll know that you two are completely incompatible."
She had found out recently, and thinking they were already divorced, she hadn't intended to tell him. But now, it seemed she had no choice.
Zhan Mohan looked up. "What is it?"
"Do you know why Wei Yumeng's mother so strongly opposed your marriage? Because Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother knew your grandfather in the past; they were even lovers. But because grandfather wanted the Zhan family to develop better, he broke up with Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother. He left and never returned. However, Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother kept waiting for grandfather. Until one day, she found out she was pregnant."
At this point, Feng Shiming felt a little sad for Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother. The woman was deeply in love, yet the man could just leave.
Zhan Mohan, however, had never expected such a connection between their families and Wei Yumeng's. Especially his grandfather, who had wronged Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother.
As a man, he couldn't stand it.
Feng Shiming spread her hands helplessly. "You can probably guess the rest. Wei Yumeng's maternal grandmother was scorned by the villagers and committed suicide, taking her four-month-old unborn child with her, by drowning herself in a well."
Zhan Mohan's expression was complex. "Does Wei Yumeng know?"
"I know, so why wouldn't she?"
Feng Shiming sat on a chair, picked up an orange, peeled it, and handed it to Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan thought back carefully and realized Wei Yumeng had indeed been acting strangely before. It was for this reason. No wonder Gu Shuyi had been so indifferent to him before her stroke; he had found it strange at the time.
Now, it all made sense.
"So, you two are completely incompatible. If you were to be together in the future, every time Wei Yumeng sees you, she'll remember your grandfather wronged her maternal grandmother and caused the death of her unborn child. Wouldn't that bother her?"
Zhan Mohan remained silent this time, but he felt some guilt towards Wei Yumeng in his heart.
He changed the subject and said to Feng Shiming,
"I want to eat cherries. Go outside and buy some for me."
Feng Shiming was a little surprised. "Brother Mohan, why do you suddenly want to eat cherries?"
"Just a sudden craving."
"Then I'll go buy them for you." Feng Shiming agreed to all of Zhan Mohan's requests.
After she left the ward, Zhan Mohan called Fang Xun.
Fang Xun answered quickly. "Mr. Zhan."
"Find a time to invite Wei Jin out. I want her to tell me the truth about what happened back then."
The man's voice was cold, like a Shura emerging from hell. Fang Xun could feel the chilling aura through the phone.
Fang Xun didn't know why Mr. Zhan suddenly wanted to investigate this matter.
"Haven't we investigated many times before? The answer has always been the same."
He didn't dare to say the rest, fearing Mr. Zhan's anger.
"I promised Wei Yumeng that I would thoroughly investigate the past again. If it truly wasn't her doing, I have a responsibility to clear her name."
It was also to compensate for the harm his grandfather had done to her maternal grandmother.
Fang Xun didn't dare to ask, nor did he know how to ask. Didn't the two of them just have an argument today? Have they reconciled already...
However, Mr. Zhan's thoughts were unfathomable, like a needle in the sea. He didn't want to guess; he would just follow orders.
"Yes, by any means necessary?"
He felt he should seek clarification.
"As long as no one gets hurt, no matter how bold she is, she's just a woman."
If he hadn't promised Wei Yumeng, he wouldn't want to resort to such methods.
"Understood."
After hanging up, Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng's phone number on the screen, his fingertip gently brushing over it, but he ultimately held back.
She had left resolutely, and he didn't need to grovel to find her, to make himself seem like a doormat, and to let her dare to give him a cold shoulder.
Since Wei Yumeng's departure, Wei Jin had been severely reprimanded by Yin Fang and Wei Anguo. Wei Anguo had even slapped her and prepared to whip her, nearly taking half her life. In a fit of anger, she left home. She had initially intended to go to a bar to drink and vent, but considering she was pregnant and the significant lesson learned from this incident, she held back.
After much hesitation, she decided to call Xin Ran, wanting to ask him out for a meal. At this moment, she missed Xin Ran terribly.
Even though she knew Xin Ran's heart only held Wei Yumeng. The thought of Wei Yumeng made her teeth itch with anger.
Since separating from Zhan Mohan, her methods had become more sophisticated. She had learned to backstab. This time, it had caught her completely off guard.
Regardless, she still had a handle on Wei Yumeng. From what she heard Wei Yumeng say at the Wei family's house that day, she was quite certain the woman was pregnant, but she didn't know how she managed to keep it a secret from Zhan Mohan.
She was quite capable to even deceive Zhan Mohan.
As she was lowering her head, about to dial Xin Ran's number, two or three people suddenly emerged from her sides, surrounding her.
Wei Jin's expression turned panicked and uneasy. "Who are you?"
"Miss Wei, please come with us."
The people grabbed Wei Jin by her arms, and she couldn't escape. When she woke up again, she was in a crude room, with all four sides sealed off. She felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
"Help! Help! Is anyone there!"
"Miss Wei, there's no need to shout. This place is very secluded; no one will come."
At this moment, Fang Xun walked in from a side door.
Seeing Fang Xun, Wei Jin asked in shock,
"How could it be you? Aren't you Zhan Mohan's assistant? Why did you bring me here!"
