Song Yifan did not answer Wei Yumeng immediately. He seemed to be thinking, considering whether to tell Wei Yumeng about the matter.
"Sorry, you'd better not ask. This is my family's business."
Song Yifan said, and gave Wei Yumeng a smile: "Don't worry, I'm really okay."
When Wei Yumeng heard this, she felt a little angry.
Perhaps given her current relationship with Song Yifan, she indeed had no reason to pry into other people's family affairs.
But even as friends, there was always a reason to help him.
"Fine, you can not tell me, but from today on, don't say you know me, because we are not even friends. Don't you even have this much trust in me for such a thing?"
Seeing Wei Yumeng angry, Song Yifan shook his head helplessly: "Yumeng, you know I don't mean that."
"If not, then tell me. Although I am no longer your girlfriend, I am still closer to you than those friends around you. Isn't that enough for me to help you solve problems?"
Wei Yumeng's attitude was firm, and she was indeed very disappointed.
Although she knew she might be being unreasonable, her desire to help Song Yifan was genuine.
Song Yifan felt that no matter when, he could never win against Wei Yumeng.
He sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I can tell you, but I still hope you won't interfere too much. So you have to promise me that I will just say it, and you will just listen. Don't take it too much to heart."
Wei Yumeng was a little dissatisfied, but she still nodded.
Having dated him before, she understood that this was already Song Yifan's biggest concession. Otherwise, he would never have told her.
"You should still remember my father and mother."
Wei Yumeng nodded. Of course, she remembered.
When they were dating, Song Yifan's parents were very opposed to them being together, which led to unpleasantness.
Wei Yumeng could hardly forget it.
"Two years ago, my mother fell seriously ill. The doctor said she had a brain tumor. The surgery was risky, but we still insisted on having it done for her."
"Could it be..." Wei Yumeng already had a guess.
"That's right, the surgery still had complications. My mother was left with sequelae and can only lie in bed, needing constant care. My father also started to become addicted to gambling from that time on."
Song Yifan said with some helplessness: "My father and mother have always been very loving. My mother's condition dealt a significant blow to my father, which is why he became so degenerate. I'm willing to understand him, but who knew he would become more and more deeply involved in gambling, to the point of owing a lot of money. Those people today are here to demand the debt from me."
Wei Yumeng also felt a sense of sorrow. She faintly remembered what Song Yifan's father looked like. He was a middle school teacher, always giving off a refined and scholarly impression, but she never expected him to become like this.
"Actually, you really don't need to worry too much. My salary is enough to pay off this debt. It's just that these people intentionally moved up the repayment date, which caused this incident."
Song Yifan's tone made it seem like the situation was under his control.
But Wei Yumeng was not a fool. The harsh words those people spoke after leaving sounded more like Song Yifan hadn't paid for a long time.
However, she didn't expose him. Since Song Yifan didn't want her to worry, she couldn't let him worry even more.
Weren't they used to interacting like this in the past?
"I understand. I won't interfere with this matter, but... you have to promise me that if this matter goes beyond your control, don't try to bear it all by yourself, understand?"
Upon hearing Wei Yumeng's words, Song Yifan chuckled: "In the past, it was always me telling you not to bear it alone. Now it's my turn."
Wei Yumeng stood up and walked to the door to call a waiter. After saying a few words, she returned to the room.
"What's wrong?" Song Yifan asked, confused.
Wei Yumeng explained: "I asked the waiter to find us a first-aid kit. Your injuries can't be left like this."
Mentioning this, Wei Yumeng frowned again.
Song Yifan was considered a rare handsome man. Now that his nose bridge was injured and there was a cut on his face, it was truly a pity.
What if, because of this, he couldn't find a girlfriend in the future? Wouldn't that be terrible?
She had found her true love now, and from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that Song Yifan could let go of everything in the past and find a woman who was truly suitable for him.
After a while, the waiter arrived with the first-aid kit and handed it to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng opened the box and skillfully took out bandages and disinfectant.
"I can only do a simple treatment for you here. If the wound worsens or becomes inflamed, you'd better see a doctor. Although these injuries don't look serious, who knows if they might cause other complications."
"I will," Song Yifan looked at Wei Yumeng with tenderness in his eyes.
Seeing Wei Yumeng's concerned demeanor and their intimate interaction through this incident made him feel it was worth it.
Before long, Wei Yumeng felt a little embarrassed by Song Yifan's gaze.
"Don't keep looking at me."
"Sorry." Song Yifan smiled. "I'm just surprised. I thought you had changed a lot, but in reality, you are still you."
Wei Yumeng was still the girl he once admired. As for him now?
He had already changed too much.
"Alright." Just as Wei Yumeng was about to stand up, her foot slipped, and she fell directly into Song Yifan's arms.
Song Yifan immediately held her: "Are you okay?"
Wei Yumeng quickly pushed him away: "I'm fine, I just slipped."
She looked down and saw a puddle of water. Combined with the tile floor, it was naturally slippery. It was her own carelessness.
On the other hand, Song Yifan stood up despite the pain and cleaned up the water on the floor himself.
"Sorry, this mess was caused by those people just now."
"You don't have to apologize for things like this. I'm really okay."
Wei Yumeng felt that Song Yifan's attitude towards her was both familiar and strange.
Even though this person was right in front of her, she felt so unreal.
Wei Yumeng couldn't stay here for long. Zhan Mohan found out her whereabouts and even came to take Wei Yumeng away himself.
As a result, sitting in the car, Wei Yumeng was still worried that Zhan Mohan would misunderstand.
"Mohan, it's like this, I was worried about him, so I came to find him."
Seeing Wei Yumeng trying so hard to explain, Zhan Mohan could only sigh: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you explaining so anxiously?"
"Of course, I have to explain clearly. You are my husband, and I don't want you to misunderstand."
Wei Yumeng's words were enough to show her attitude. What else could Zhan Mohan be angry about?
