Her mind exploded. She stared at the scene, stunned for several seconds before snapping back to reality.
"Sorry for the disturbance."
Wei Yumeng closed the door again, her heart racing. She then turned and walked back, Ning Tao's ambiguous posture and Zhan Mohan's displeased frown constantly replaying in her mind.
Were they… doing that in the office?
Just yesterday, he had questioned her righteously, and today he was brazenly with Ning Tao in the office…
It was undeniably painful, like being pricked by needles, a mix of anger and a strange emotion.
She didn't know why she was angry. They were divorced; it had nothing to do with her who Zhan Mohan was with, right?
Inside, Ning Tao was extremely annoyed that Wei Yumeng had interrupted their good time. That woman must have done it on purpose.
She wanted to continue, "General Manager Zhan, don't let these irrelevant women disturb us."
As she spoke, Ning Tao leaned in to kiss Zhan Mohan. The man made no move, his eyes seeming to kill, his voice so cold it could freeze.
"Put on your clothes and get out!"
Before Zhan Mohan could finish speaking, Ning Tao's face turned pale. When he uttered those words, cold sweat was already beading on her forehead.
She trembled and called out, "General Manager Zhan…"
"I've told you, I hate people who resort to tricks the most. Don't think I don't know you told Wei Yumeng to come. You knew Li Huan had a grudge against her, yet you pretended ignorance and asked her to come. Ning Tao, what are you trying to do!"
The man was seething with rage, his voice cold and ruthless mixed with anger.
Ning Tao stared at Zhan Mohan in panic, disbelief.
"It's for Wei Yumeng, but you're clearly divorced. And she's with that guy Xin Ran…"
"You dare to gossip about such things? Ning Tao, my tolerance for you has reached its limit. Even if I'm divorced from Wei Yumeng, it's not your place to bully her!"
The man's perpetually cold face was merciless, but the anger in his dark eyes was surging.
"Get out!"
Ning Tao immediately scrambled to put on her clothes and fled in a mess. She then bumped into Feng Shiyun. Feng Shiyun had been in the company for a long time and understood these women who relied on their looks to climb the social ladder.
Moreover, two buttons on Ning Tao's blouse were undone, leaving no doubt as to what had happened.
Seeing Feng Shiyun, Ning Tao guiltily lowered her head, "Director Feng."
"Ning Tao, even if Mo Han Ge Ge is divorced from Wei Yumeng now, it's not your turn. You need to know your place. Don't think you can climb your way to Mrs. Zhan just with your pretty face!"
Ning Tao nodded awkwardly, "Yes."
Then she quickly scurried past Feng Shiyun.
With a displeased look, she pushed open Zhan Mohan's office door, her voice tinged with grievance.
"Mo Han Ge Ge…"
Zhan Mohan was in a bad mood. His face was like a thousand-year-old block of ice, his clear eyes shooting towards her, his expression flat and devoid of any emotion.
"Shiyun, I've told you, don't call me that at the company."
"What's the big deal? It's just the two of us. Mo Han Ge Ge, that Ning Tao…"
"It's nothing. Find some time to fire her. People who resort to tricks behind the scenes are not suitable to stay in the company."
Before, he hadn't wanted to push things too far because Ning Tao's connections brought in clients who collaborated with the company. But this time, Ning Tao had dared to target Wei Yumeng again, so he couldn't spare her.
Feng Shiyun walked up unhappily and reached out to hold Zhan Mohan's arm, but he subtly dodged it.
She could only pout and act spoiled towards Zhan Mohan.
"Mo Han Ge Ge, even if you don't choose me, you can't be with that Wei Yumeng again. It took so much effort to quell the scandals about her. If you associate with her again, it will surely cause a huge stir. Do you want to see Grandpa hospitalized again?"
Zhan Mohan frowned. If he truly didn't care about his grandfather or the Zhan family, he wouldn't have chosen to separate from Wei Yumeng. But this time, it wasn't just for the Zhan family, but for himself as well.
He didn't want to tell Feng Shiyun anything about him and Wei Yumeng. He turned his face away, clearly avoiding the topic.
"That's not your concern."
"I'm worried about you, Mo Han Ge Ge." Feng Shiyun felt a pang of bitterness, tears streaming down her face. "You were so much better before. You wouldn't get tangled up in emotional matters. You were decisive and resolute. Once you made up your mind, you wouldn't hesitate. But because of Wei Yumeng's appearance, you've almost become a different person. She keeps pushing your boundaries, constantly changing your temper. You're almost worn down into someone unrecognizable."
"This is my own choice, I don't blame anyone."
He turned around, his hands behind his back, his silhouette firm and aloof.
No matter what the future held for him and Wei Yumeng, he believed this was the path fate had set for him. He never regretted being with Wei Yumeng because she had given him things he would never have experienced in his life.
Feng Shiyun felt like her lips were about to crack from talking, but why was Mo Han Ge Ge so stubborn?
Finally, she just said, "You're crazy, ruining your entire life for a woman. Wei Yumeng isn't worth you treating her like this!"
Wei Yumeng returned to her seat, somewhat dejected and pale. Mu Linjing noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
"Oh, I wanted to tell you something. I just heard that General Manager Zhan didn't ask us to go last night. He specifically instructed Fang Xun to send other people from the company, probably knowing you had a past conflict with that Li Huan."
Mu Linjing had been away for a while, apparently gathering this information.
Wei Yumeng frowned, "But no one told us not to go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Tao walked past her and, without a word, dragged Wei Yumeng out of the office.
Mu Linjing cried out in alarm, "Director Ning, what are you doing?"
"Do your job!" Ning Tao said aggressively.
Mu Linjing couldn't rest easy about Wei Yumeng and wanted to follow, but at that moment, Feng Shiyun placed a file on her desk.
"Take this file and deliver it to General Manager Zhan's office along with the one on Wei Yumeng's desk."
"But Director Ning…"
"Director Ning just needs to discuss work matters with Wei Yumeng. Just do your part."
Feng Shiyun's attitude was firm, completely different from the pitiful little girl in front of Zhan Mohan.
Mu Linjing didn't understand what was wrong with Feng Shiyun; she spoke as if she had eaten gunpowder, her words laced with anger. She didn't dare to go over, thinking that Ning Tao wouldn't dare do anything to Wei Yumeng at the company.
Ning Tao dragged Wei Yumeng into the corridor and raised her hand to slap her. However, Wei Yumeng seemed to have anticipated it. She grabbed Ning Tao's wrist with one hand and, with the other, slapped Ning Tao across the face.
Ning Tao was stunned by the blow.
