"This kind of thing actually happened," Zhan Yichen said, a bit surprised after hearing the accounts of Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng. "Not many people dare to go head-to-head with the Zhan Corporation. This Liang Dong really has quite a lot of nerve."
Mu Linjing nodded as well. "Perhaps it's because we were abroad this time that something like this occurred. If it were in China, who would dare to act like this?"
Speaking of which, Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with sincerity. Although the matter had been resolved, she still needed to take some responsibility. "Mohan, I'm truly sorry. It was my responsibility to find such a partner. I should be more meticulous in my work from now on."
How could Zhan Mohan blame her? "This matter isn't your fault at all. In fact, during our previous collaboration, I didn't realize Liang Dong harbored such great ambitions."
Mu Linjing looked at everyone and felt that others seemed to have no other opinions on the matter, but she was different. She always felt that this incident, while appearing to be a sudden event and unrelated to Wen Xueshan, was it truly unrelated?
"Yumeng, may I have a private word with you?" Mu Linjing suddenly said. WΑp.kanshu伍.net
Wei Yumeng naturally wouldn't refuse. "Of course, let's go to the room to talk."
Seeing the two walk into the room, the two gentlemen were unfazed. After all, they were good friends for many years and likely had private matters to discuss.
As soon as they entered the room, Mu Linjing's expression became serious, clearly worried about something.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yumeng asked. "Your expression suggests something important."
Mu Linjing finally spoke, "Yumeng, don't you find it strange at all? While this incident seems sudden, the timing is a bit too coincidental."
"Coincidental?" Wei Yumeng didn't quite understand what Mu Linjing was referring to.
"Think about it carefully. You, Wen Xueshan, and brother were eating, and then you were called away. That left only brother and Wen Xueshan in the hotel." Mu Linjing felt more and more that this was the case. "You don't know, but after you left, Wen Xueshan used the excuse of being drunk and asked brother to take her back. If I hadn't intervened then, what do you think would have happened?"
Wei Yumeng blinked slightly. According to Mu Linjing's line of thought, even more terrible things could have happened. "But nothing happened, did it?"
"Isn't it that everything that happened changed faster than Wen Xueshan's plan?" Mu Linjing explained. "She planned this, but she couldn't foresee everything. So, what we're experiencing now are all modifications based on her plan." She watched Wei Yumeng's reaction as she spoke. "Think about it again, if brother hadn't arrived in time and you had to face Liang Dong, what would have happened?"
Things would only have gotten worse. It was highly probable that Wei Yumeng would have compromised to appease those business partners. Doing so would naturally be a terrible outcome for the Zhan Corporation.
"Yumeng, you must think carefully about this. I can't stand by and watch Wen Xueshan do something that hurts you again." Mu Linjing said, giving Wei Yumeng a hug.
Wei Yumeng hugged Mu Linjing back. "Okay, I'll seriously consider what you've said."
Wei Yumeng was indeed swayed by Mu Linjing's words. Although they were still in the stage of suspicion, the past incidents were enough to make her vigilant. Perhaps because Wen Xueshan had helped her before and saved her life, she couldn't question her directly. However, she could test Wen Xueshan in another way.
"You're saying we should introduce a boyfriend to Wen Xueshan?" Zhan Mohan was a little surprised that Wei Yumeng would proactively bring up such a matter.
Wei Yumeng nodded. "Yes, and I already have someone in mind. One of the business partners I found before, who wasn't involved in the previous incident and is one of the few who still stands with us."
Zhan Mohan didn't dwell on this topic and asked another question. "Can you tell me the reason for suddenly doing this?"
Wei Yumeng looked a little embarrassed. "Didn't Miss Wen help me before? That's why I want to repay that favor."
However, Zhan Mohan merely raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing this reason. Wei Yumeng felt awkward. It seemed she couldn't fool Zhan Mohan no matter what. "Alright, I admit it. I'm still worried she might affect our relationship, so that's why..."
"Okay, I agree," Zhan Mohan said. Hearing this reason, he was naturally willing to help. Moreover, before he even asked, he had already anticipated such an answer. "I'll propose this to her, but there's one thing I want you to be clear about: we've been married for so many years, and I've long decided to walk this path with you until the end. So, you don't need to worry about such things."
Zhan Mohan then pulled Wei Yumeng into his embrace. "All you need to do is trust me, no matter what, at any time. That's enough."
Wei Yumeng nodded. Of course, she trusted Zhan Mohan, but sometimes she still lacked a bit of confidence. Precisely because they had been married for so long, the bond between them had evolved from pure love into a complex mix of emotions. She was a little worried that this might cause Zhan Mohan to downplay their love. However, hearing Zhan Mohan say this now, what else did she have to worry about?
The next day at noon, Zhan Mohan asked Wen Xueshan out. Wen Xueshan was naturally ecstatic. This was their first date alone after that incident. She had to dress up nicely. However, when she arrived at the appointed location, she realized she had been tricked by Zhan Mohan. The person sitting there was not Zhan Mohan, but another unfamiliar man.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Wen?" the man proactively greeted her.
"I am," Wen Xueshan replied, her tone not very pleasant. However, the man didn't mind and politely introduced himself. "My name is Qiu Zhun. I'm also one of the project partners, and we're both from the same country."
Wen Xueshan looked at Qiu Zhun. Although his appearance, demeanor, and status were decent, he was far inferior to Zhan Mohan. Since she had fallen for an outstanding man like Zhan Mohan, how could such an ordinary person catch her eye? What angered her even more was that this was arranged by Zhan Mohan? Did he want to get rid of her that badly? If so, she would simply refuse and show Zhan Mohan how persistent she was.
