"No matter what you say, I'm going back tonight. Mu Lin Jing is alone at home and she's scared."
Wei Yumeng could only offer polite excuses to Zhan Mohan. She didn't want to stay here with these people.
"Then when I need you to take care of me tonight, do I have to call you specifically?"
"Don't you have maids at your house? Let the maids take care of you at night."
Listening to Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng felt he was acting deliberately, as if he had planned this whole thing. Was he trying to get revenge on her?
Just then, Feng Shiming started making a fuss outside.
"Is Mo Han Ge Ge possessed? Why did he call Wei Yumeng over and even move her things in?"
"Shiming, calm down. A Han just asked Wei Yumeng to take care of him for a few days."
Wen Yulan pulled Feng Shiming, trying to placate her, but didn't put any real force into her hands. She wanted the two of them to argue, but as an elder, she had to put on a show.
Feng Shiming's emotions were intense, and she loudly declared in the hallway without any restraint.
"Take care of him? I can take care of Mo Han Ge Ge too! There are so many maids in the Zhan family, who can't take care of him? Why does he have to find Wei Yumeng?"
"That's A Han's choice. You know his temper, no one can change his mind."
"What's so great about that Wei Yumeng? She's involved with Xin Ran, she's so dirty. I can't even stand to look at her now."
As she spoke, Feng Shiming impatiently pushed open the door and walked in.
Wei Yumeng had heard their entire conversation clearly, especially Feng Shiming's last sentence.
Zhan Mohan frowned, a displeasure evident on his chiseled face. His words were laced with a warning.
"Feng Shiming, what are you doing!"
No matter how arrogant and domineering Feng Shiming had been earlier, the moment she met Zhan Mohan's gaze, she felt a tremor of fear. That sense of dread spread from the soles of her feet to her limbs.
She shrank back, "I... I just don't like her coming to our house."
"This has nothing to do with you." Zhan Mohan's voice was firm, his face radiating a cold aura.
Feng Shiming stubbornly raised her chin, "How does it have nothing to do with me? I care about you the most. Even if you don't want me to take care of you, you could have asked Si Yu Jie. Who is Wei Yumeng to you!"
"I might not be anyone, but your brother had Fang Xun personally come to pick me up. Also, Miss Feng, how I am doesn't seem to be your business to judge. When I was with Zhan Mohan before, I could tolerate you saying this, because I thought you were young and didn't know any better. But now that I'm divorced from Zhan Mohan, I have no relation to him. And you, in what capacity are you accusing me?"
Wei Yumeng's attitude was strong, her tone firm, and her gaze towards Feng Shiming was chilling.
This was the first time Feng Shiming had seen such a sharp-tongued Wei Yumeng, so different from her usual timid demeanor.
Wen Yulan by her side was also stunned. Although she had experienced Wei Yumeng's sharp wit in the hospital, Wei Yumeng was now acting with such arrogance, as if they were powerless against her.
But Feng Shiming was unwilling to back down and argued with Wei Yumeng.
"You're in the Zhan family now, what right do you have to speak to me like this, Wei Yumeng? Don't think just because Mo Han Ge Ge called you over means you can continue to be with Mo Han Ge Ge. Look at yourself, are you worthy?"
"Sorry, I never thought about being with your Mo Han Ge Ge. I'm just here to take care of him."
She showed no signs of backing down. Even with Zhan Mohan present, she wouldn't let Feng Shiming speak to her like this.
They were all living their first lives, why should she defer to Feng Shiming just because she was the darling of the Zhan family?
Wen Yulan couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Wei Yumeng, aren't you going too far? Even if Shiming offended you with her words, you were once her sister-in-law. Now that you're no longer relying on the Zhan family, you can speak so fearlessly and carelessly?"
Wei Yumeng sneered, "At least I never relied on you or Feng Shiming, Auntie. To be honest, my first child was harmed by you, and I've never settled that score with you. What, now you're coming to question me?"
"You... is this how you speak to your elders? Back then, you were the one who was indiscreet, not even knowing whose child you were carrying. I was doing it for A Han, for the Zhan family's reputation."
Wen Yulan had been somewhat speechless at Wei Yumeng's words, but as an elder of the Zhan family, how could she be rebuked by a woman who no longer had any connection to the Zhan family? Wouldn't that be a joke?
Wei Yumeng turned her head, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"But that was your Zhan family's business, it had nothing to do with me. Why should my child pay for your Zhan family's reputation?"
Wen Yulan was almost driven mad, her face turning from green to pale as she pointed at Wei Yumeng and said to Zhan Mohan.
"A Han, you actually dare to let this kind of woman back? Look at her arrogant and overbearing attitude now, one would think she's the mistress of our Zhan family!"
Zhan Mohan, standing by, showed no intention of helping Wen Yulan and Feng Shiming. Instead, he uttered a sentence.
"Then don't provoke her."
Feng Shiming and Wen Yulan stared at Zhan Mohan as if they had seen a ghost.
Feng Shiming couldn't help but exclaim, "Mo Han Ge Ge, are you crazy?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Yulan realized that she had never thought their union would cause them so much harm before. But now, it seemed that once Wei Yumeng became assertive, these two were not easy to provoke.
She increasingly couldn't understand what Zhan Mohan was thinking. Wei Yumeng was with Xin Ran... How could he tolerate such a thing? Or did he believe that Wei Yumeng and Xin Ran hadn't actually...
Wen Yulan's doubts grew. She wisely withdrew, no longer confronting Zhan Mohan directly.
She advised Feng Shiming, "Alright, since your Mo Han Ge Ge has decided to let Wei Yumeng take care of him here, let's go out first and not disturb his rest. The doctor said he needs quiet recovery."
Feng Shiming was not willing to give up. Her mouth pouted high in the air, and she said with annoyance.
"I don't want to. If Wei Yumeng doesn't leave, I'll stay here and see who can outlast whom."
"Let's go quickly. Do you really want to make your Mo Han Ge Ge angry?"
Wen Yulan grabbed Feng Shiming's hand and dragged her out.
In the room, peace was finally restored. Zhan Mohan watched Wei Yumeng with a leisurely and interested gaze, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
He called out to Wei Yumeng, "Come here. I have something to ask you."
Wei Yumeng was prepared for Zhan Mohan to settle accounts with her. She had no intention of avoiding him and walked straight towards him. As soon as she opened her mouth.
"You..."
The moment her voice fell, Zhan Mohan pulled her into his embrace. She looked up in panic at Zhan Mohan's eyes, which held a sly smile.
