After three rounds of drinks, Wen Xue Shan appeared increasingly tipsy.
However, no matter how Wei Yu Meng tried to stop her, it was futile. Wen Xue Shan even cried, clutching Wei Yu Meng's hand and repeatedly apologizing.
Wei Yu Meng found it difficult to forgive her for what had happened before, as she had once trusted Wen Xue Shan, and it was Wen Xue Shan herself who had brought things to this point.
If Wen Xue Shan hadn't saved her life once, they probably wouldn't even be sitting here having dinner together.
"Miss Wei... let me tell you... I've truly learned my lesson this time..."
Wei Yu Meng felt helpless; she had lost count of how many times she had heard Wen Xue Shan say this.
Meanwhile, Zhan Mo Han still had no intention of engaging with Wen Xue Shan, instead conversing meaningfully with Wei Yu Meng.
Just then, Wei Yu Meng's phone rang.
Wei Yu Meng was surprised to see the name on her phone; it was one of the project leaders she had contacted who was collaborating with the Ye Corporation.
She then realized that after being hospitalized for so long, she hadn't yet provided these leaders with an update on the project.
"Hello? I understand, I am truly sorry. Okay, I'll be there immediately."
After speaking, Wei Yu Meng stood up.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Mo Han looked at her, puzzled.
"It's one of our partners. They thought that since your incident, I haven't given them any updates, so they're calling to ask for an explanation."
Wei Yu Meng sighed helplessly. No matter how she looked at it, this was her oversight.
After the initial issue was resolved, she had only focused on addressing the media, forgetting about these collaborators. Then, she had been directly hospitalized.
If she didn't step in soon, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for Zhan Mo Han.
Zhan Mo Han frowned. "I'll go with you."
Wei Yu Meng stopped him. "I can handle things over there myself. Besides..."
She glanced at Wen Xue Shan, who was clearly intoxicated. "We can't leave her here alone."
Zhan Mo Han didn't care what happened to Wen Xue Shan, but since Wei Yu Meng had said so, he had no choice but to stay.
"Alright, but if you encounter any trouble, call me, and I'll be there immediately."
"Mmm, I know."
After speaking, Wei Yu Meng gave Zhan Mo Han a light kiss on the cheek before hurrying away. Zhan Mo Han watched Wei Yu Meng leave, his gaze returning to Wen Xue Shan.
Although he didn't know what Wen Xue Shan was plotting now, he would continue to stand by Wei Yu Meng's side.
"Hey! Mr. Zhan... how come... how come you're all alone?" Wen Xue Shan suddenly looked at Zhan Mo Han. "I knew... I just knew you couldn't possibly have no feelings for me... it's impossible..."
Zhan Mo Han frowned. If he personally took Wen Xue Shan home, he didn't know what would happen.
After some thought, he decided to call Mu Lin Jing.
"Hello? This is Zhan Mo Han..."
About twenty minutes later, Mu Lin Jing rushed over.
Seeing Wen Xue Shan thoroughly drunk, she felt a surge of anger.
"She's your responsibility. I'm still a bit worried about Yu Meng's situation, so I'll be going now." Zhan Mo Han said, then handed Wen Xue Shan over to Mu Lin Jing and left.
As Zhan Mo Han walked away, Mu Lin Jing saw a flicker of disappointment in Wen Xue Shan's eyes.
Though it was only for a moment, it wasn't the expression of someone who was completely drunk.
Was she really drunk?
Mu Lin Jing had her doubts. Wen Xue Shan was a cunning woman; faking drunkenness was something she could easily do.
However, since Wen Xue Shan wanted to play along, she would oblige.
So, she helped Wen Xue Shan up and as they walked towards the door, she said, "I apologize, Miss Wen. As a woman, I might not have much strength. Please don't blame me if you bump into anything along the way."
As soon as Mu Lin Jing finished speaking, Wen Xue Shan's shoulder hit the doorframe of the private room.
"Oops, sorry, sorry." Although she said it, Mu Lin Jing's tone held no hint of apology.
Thus, on the way home, Wen Xue Shan suffered quite a bit, yet she managed to maintain her act until the very end.
Wen Xue Shan was naturally angry, but if she were to lose her temper at this point under Mu Lin Jing's provocation, her patience would be too poor.
She knew that enduring it for a while was merely planning for a longer future.
Mu Lin Jing, having gone through considerable effort, finally got Wen Xue Shan home and placed her on the bed.
"Sometimes, when I look at you closely, you're actually quite good-looking. Why don't you do something worthwhile?" Mu Lin Jing said, tutting twice. "Don't think that no one can see through your current plans. The reason Brother is getting along with you now is purely because you saved Yu Meng. If you continue like this, I'm sure that if you're sent to the detention center once, there will be a second time. You'd best watch yourself."
With that, Mu Lin Jing turned to leave. "Oh, right, there's one more thing I hope you understand. You have no idea how many setbacks and stories they've been through, and that means they aren't easily influenced by others. I suggest you give up now and find a more realistic path for yourself."
The moment Mu Lin Jing left, Wen Xue Shan sat up in bed.
Her face was full of defiance. Even if Wei Yu Meng and Zhan Mo Han's feelings were deeply sincere, there would always be times when they argued.
At that point, if she could just slip in, Zhan Mo Han might still become her man.
However, as soon as this thought crossed her mind, she began to doubt herself.
If she could truly achieve what she had just thought, why didn't Zhan Mo Han choose her when he and Wei Yu Meng had argued before?
And why had she never found an opportunity to intervene between them?
Did she really still have a chance?
Wei Yu Meng was incredibly busy. Although she had explained the situation to these collaborators, she still needed to sort out the profit and loss situation over the past half month.
Normally, Zhan Mo Han, as the project initiator, should have handled such matters. However, since she had brought these people in initially, she had to resolve any issues that arose.
"I understand how everyone has been feeling during this time. So, for the losses incurred during this period, we will compensate you at a certain ratio. Of course, the project will also continue to progress. Please don't worry."
Wei Yu Meng had shown the utmost sincerity towards these people, but some were still not satisfied with the decision, and some were even expecting Wei Yu Meng to pay them more in liquidated damages.
But at this moment, a cold voice rang out. "In addition to what my wife has just said, we will also adjust the profit sharing for subsequent projects due to this incident. What do you all think?"
