Wei Yumeng pondered for a long time, realizing that it wouldn't be easy to escape Wen Xueshan.
If she kept trying to find a breakthrough in their relationship, the situation would likely only become more chaotic.
Wei Yumeng sighed. While that was true, what exactly should she do?
In her dilemma, she sought out Mu Linjing, hoping she might have a solution.
After hearing Wei Yumeng's account, Mu Linjing supported her friend's plan.
"I think your approach is right. You can't communicate with that crazy woman about matters of the heart, so you'll have to find other ways to distract her."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng sighed, "It's easier said than done, but how can we actually do it?"
Just then, Zhan Yichen walked out of the room, clearly having overheard Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing's conversation.
"I think I know what to do, but..." Zhan Yichen sat beside Wei Yumeng, "it depends on whether my sister-in-law will let me."
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment, "Tell me your idea first."
"If you ask me, the reason Wen Xueshan has so much energy to deal with my sister-in-law is simply because she has no worries about food or clothing. If we create some difficulties for her indirectly, it should solve the problem."
However, Wei Yumeng frowned at this suggestion.
Wasn't this asking her to control Wen Xueshan's life? This was too forceful a method, and besides, she didn't believe she had the right to do so.
"No," Wei Yumeng shook her head. "We can't do this."
"My dear Yumeng, how has she treated you before? She never showed any mercy," Mu Linjing said with some frustration.
Zhan Yichen merely glanced at Mu Linjing, signaling her to stop.
The two exchanged a look, and Zhan Yichen shook his head at Mu Linjing, indicating that her idea wouldn't work.
"Never mind, I think we should think of another way. Perhaps it would be better to ask Mr. Qiu for help."
At this point, Wei Yumeng sighed. She truly regretted taking on this matter.
Wei Yumeng didn't stay long and left, as they hadn't come up with any useful solution in the end.
However, Mu Linjing was unwilling to give up. As Wei Yumeng's friend, how could she stand by and watch Wen Xueshan continuously trouble Wei Yumeng?
Mu Linjing had tolerated Wen Xueshan for too long. If not for considering Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan's relationship, she would have revealed the truth about Wei Yumeng's poisoning.
"Yichen, although Yumeng doesn't want to do it, we can," Mu Linjing said earnestly. "Moreover, we've tolerated her for so long despite all the harm she's done to Yumeng. It's time she paid a price."
Zhan Yichen nodded as well. The reason he proposed that method earlier was precisely so that Wei Yumeng could use it to teach Wen Xueshan a lesson.
But Wei Yumeng was still too soft-hearted and too principled to resort to such tactics.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it now," Zhan Yichen said and immediately went to make preparations.
Early in the morning, Wen Xueshan went to work as usual. However, for some reason, she felt that the other employees were looking at her strangely today.
But when she tried to ask them what was happening, they avoided her as if she had a contagious disease.
She was utterly perplexed but couldn't find out the reason.
As soon as she returned to her desk, her department manager found her. "Wen Xueshan, come with me."
Wen Xueshan followed her manager into the office.
"I believe you know how important the project the company entrusted to you was, but look at what you've done. The client has come directly to the boss, saying that if we can't provide them with a more suitable proposal, then our cooperation is over."
Wen Xueshan found this hard to believe. "How is that possible? My proposal was made according to the client's requirements."
"This project is your responsibility, you can say whatever you want, but now you must redo the proposal!" the department manager's tone was stern.
Wen Xueshan felt indignant, thinking that the client was deliberately causing trouble, but she had no choice and had to go back and redo it.
However, things didn't stop there. Soon, she received a call from the bank.
"Hello, is this Ms. Wen? Due to some case-related issues, your assets deposited in our bank will be temporarily frozen."
"What?" Wen Xueshan asked urgently. "Are you mistaken? I haven't..."
She was about to explain that she hadn't done anything wrong recently, but then she stopped.
It wasn't that she hadn't done anything wrong before; it was just that Zhan Mohan had handled those matters for her. Had the police decided to revisit those issues?
The first thing she thought of was to immediately call Zhan Mohan to find out what had gone wrong.
However, no matter how many times she called, she only heard a busy signal.
"Wen Xueshan! Do you think you haven't caused enough trouble? You're still making phone calls at work?" The manager was furious upon seeing Wen Xueshan.
Wen Xueshan had no choice but to put down her phone and return to her work.
But how could she calm down? Her money was frozen in the bank, and she didn't have much cash on her. How would she live starting today?
However, the more flustered she became, the worse her work efficiency got. By the time work ended, she still hadn't made any progress on her proposal.
Unsurprisingly, the department manager made her stay for overtime, insisting that she produce a draft of the proposal before she could go home.
Looking at the empty office around her, the sky outside already dark, Wen Xueshan felt wronged.
Why was she suddenly encountering so much misfortune?
But then she thought again and felt that these things were definitely not a coincidence.
In fact, her previous cases were in Zhan Mohan's hands. If the police were truly investigating again, it must mean Zhan Mohan had gone back on his word.
Moreover, with Zhan Mohan's capabilities, he could directly freeze her accounts.
As for her work, the Zhan Corporation had extensive connections, and influencing the client's opinion was entirely possible.
And the only person who could make Zhan Mohan do this was Wei Yumeng.
The initial sense of being wronged in Wen Xueshan's heart gradually turned into anger and hatred.
She truly couldn't understand why Wei Yumeng was always lingering in her life, why Wei Yumeng always had to oppose her.
However, since Wei Yumeng had gone this far, how could she just accept her fate?
"Wei Yumeng, don't think you've won just because of this. Everything is far from over. I will make you regret everything you've done today!"
