"Given the current situation, if I don't divorce her, Grandpa won't be able to swallow this. Wen Yulan will surely cause trouble again. Have you investigated what I asked you to look into?"
Zhan Mohan hadn't been idle during this time since separating from Wei Yumeng.
Even though he was upset about Wei Yumeng and Xin Ran, he still had to deal with matters. If not for his remaining rationality, he would have beaten Xin Ran to a pulp last time.
Upon further reflection, there was indeed something fishy about the matter, but it didn't mean nothing had happened between them.
Fang Xun reported truthfully, "It was the Madam who leaked it. She likely wanted to hasten your divorce."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan's handsome face showed no surprise, as if the person's name was expected. However, the light in his eyes revealed a chilling glint that was captivating.
"She's quite adept at paving the way for her son, but she doesn't consider if Yichen is even capable of it!"
"It's understandable, though. Even if the second young master isn't interested in business, the Madam always wants the second young master to take charge. After all, the second young master is her biological son. You've been with her for so many years, outwardly cordial but inwardly detesting each other."
Neither could stand the other. For years, Wen Yulan had been displeased that Mr. Zhan handed over the Zhan family's management to CEO Zhan. Although Wen Yulan handled domestic affairs, any major decisions still had to go through CEO Zhan.
The man rubbed his temples irritably, "Forget it. Even if she hadn't revealed it, someone else would have."
The matter had reached this point; pursuing Wen Yulan's responsibility was futile.
"Alright, I'll take my leave then."
Fang Xun prepared to attend to other matters after reporting.
"Wait a moment." Zhan Mohan called out to Fang Xun and glanced at the hazelnut-flavored coffee that Jiang Siyu had bought earlier. "Take this coffee and drink it. Don't waste it."
Fang Xun was stunned. "CEO Zhan, isn't this the coffee you used to love?"
"I don't love it anymore." Zhan Mohan handed the coffee to Fang Xun. "By the way, go ask Wei Yumeng to make a cup. Just say... just say you want to drink it."
"But I..." Fang Xun was about to say he already had a cup, but when he looked up and saw CEO Zhan's piercing gaze, he quickly changed his mind. "Okay, I'll go now."
He walked out with the coffee, muttering.
"I don't understand what CEO Zhan is thinking. Even though they've separated, Madam is still his employee. Isn't it normal for her to make him a cup of coffee? He's never been this shy before."
"Fang Xun."
Just as Fang Xun finished muttering, he heard someone call him. Looking up, he saw it was Miss Jiang Siyu.
He replied politely, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Siyu's sharp eyes spotted the coffee in Fang Xun's hand, the very cup she had bought for Zhan Mohan.
Fang Xun, realizing Jiang Siyu was staring at the coffee cup in his hand, replied awkwardly.
"Miss Jiang, CEO Zhan said he's afraid of insomnia if he drinks coffee at night, so he gave it to me."
Jiang Siyu wore a gentle, harmless smile.
"It's fine. In the future, when I buy for A'han, I'll buy one for you too. But it seems he doesn't like this flavor anymore. Do you know which kind he prefers?"
"CEO Zhan likes the one... Wei Yumeng makes, so Miss Jiang doesn't need to buy it from outside anymore."
"Oh, is that so? No wonder he said the one he likes can't be bought outside. It's okay, I'll ask Miss Wei later."
Fang Xun couldn't help but widen his eyes. This... she still had to ask? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
However, as an assistant, he couldn't say much. It was best not to meddle.
"I'll be going now, Miss Jiang."
"Mm."
After Fang Xun left, Jiang Siyu stood in place. The smile on her face vanished instantly, her delicate charm replaced by a ferocious expression. The fingers holding the document tightened.
How long had it been since she left, and Zhan Mohan had already fallen for another woman? She admitted, the woman was attractive, pleasing to the eye, and most importantly, not aggressive. Didn't men prefer that type now?
But she heard that woman betrayed A'han and had slept with her former senior. Her A'han, a man like a king, admired by all, how could he accept such a thing?
Wei Yumeng was clearly insulting A'han.
Over there, Wei Yumeng sneezed inexplicably, wondering who was speaking ill of her.
Mu Linjing walked over, seeing that it was time.
"Yumeng, let's go. Ning Tao told us to take a taxi ourselves."
"Mm." Wei Yumeng tidied up and then got up to follow Mu Linjing out of the company to hail a taxi.
When they arrived at the appointed club, Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing pushed open the private room door. At that moment, she never would have imagined that Zhan Mohan and Jiang Siyu would also be inside.
The embarrassment and awkwardness made her wish she could turn around and leave immediately. Mu Linjing was also stunned. Ning Tao hadn't mentioned that CEO Zhan would be there, otherwise, she would never have let Wei Yumeng come.
Was this deliberately trying to humiliate someone? It was one thing for CEO Zhan to be there, but Jiang Siyu was also present.
Mu Linjing noticed Wei Yumeng's discomfort, reached out and squeezed her fingers, whispering.
"Why don't you find an excuse to slip away later?"
This was too awkward. Anyone would find it unbearable. Not only had they just divorced, but CEO Zhan's ex-girlfriend had also returned. The two sat together like a loving couple. Looking at Jiang Siyu's proximity, it was as if they were about to embrace.
Even seeing it made her angry, let alone Wei Yumeng. Wasn't that like using a knife to torture her?
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath, forcing a smile.
"It's fine. It's just work. We just need to do our jobs."
Mu Linjing was still worried. "Are you really okay?"
"Let's go in." Wei Yumeng pulled Mu Linjing in and then greeted Zhan Mohan.
"CEO Zhan."
The moment Zhan Mohan saw Wei Yumeng, a flicker of surprise flashed in his deep eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. He had no idea Wei Yumeng was sent to this meeting.
He said coldly, "Actually, there's no A-country language today. You didn't have to come."
Wei Yumeng gave a forced smile.
"It's fine. I will obey the arrangements from above."
She sat on the sofa on the other side, opened her file, and pretended to read, her lips curving downwards. Did he think she was an eyesore, hindering him and Jiang Siyu?
After all, having an ex-wife present was indeed a bit awkward.
Zhan Mohan saw the weariness on her face, the dark circles under her eyes, likely due to lack of rest lately. He just wanted her to go back and rest more. This kind of ordinary translation didn't require her.
He didn't expect her to not appreciate his concern at all, instead acting all business-like. He scoffed, thinking he was being overly concerned.
Let her be. She would know how to cry when the business partner arrived later.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Siyu signaled a waiter.
"Please bring them two glasses of orange juice and some food. They probably haven't eaten yet."
Wei Yumeng quickly shook her head and refused, "No need, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Siyu smiled gently, her lips curling slightly, making her seem as if she were bringing a refreshing breeze. Wei Yumeng finally understood why Zhan Mohan still kept a photo of her in his wallet.
"It's fine. The business partner might be a while, they're quite difficult to deal with and it might take time."
Jiang Siyu was still thoughtful enough to order food and drinks for them.
However, before the waiter could bring the food, the business partner had already entered. Jiang Siyu quickly stood up.
"Mr. Li, we've finally been waiting for you."
"Miss Jiang, your reputation precedes you. Seeing you in person, you are indeed even more beautiful than in your photos."
As Wei Yumeng heard this voice, a terrifying image flashed through her mind. She instinctively looked towards the private room door, all color draining from her face.
How... how could it be him!
