A week later, Wei Yumeng finally received news that Zhan Mohan was returning.
However, while she had been looking forward to Zhan Mohan coming home before, her mood was now complicated.
She was afraid that Zhan Mohan would really bring Wang Fang home, and she was afraid that her originally happy family would change because of this.
But some things, no matter what, had to be faced.
Wei Yumeng had already obtained ownership of the land from Auntie Wang, but now she didn't know if what she had done was right or wrong.
Originally, she had done it for Zhan Mohan, for Zhan Corporation.
But now she couldn't even be sure if Zhan Mohan had truly betrayed her.
"Yumeng, are you sure you won't stay a few more days?" Mother Song was clearly reluctant to let Wei Yumeng go.
Wei Yumeng could only smile and say, "Don't worry, Mom. Even though I'm going back today, I'll still come to visit you with Yifan when I have time in the future."
Mother Song sighed, "Alas, when you two set a date for the wedding, then I'll be completely at ease."
These words stirred something in Wei Yumeng's heart. She could never marry Song Yifan, yet she was still letting the elder carry such hope, and she felt a pang of guilt. Read Books.com
"Alright, Mom. If we delay any longer, Yumeng will be reprimanded by her company leaders for being late."
Mother Song then let go of Wei Yumeng. "Remember to call me when you arrive. I'll be relieved."
"Okay." Wei Yumeng nodded.
Then, she turned and left with Song Yifan.
Wei Yumeng did not let Song Yifan drive her home. Instead, she parked the car a short distance away from her house.
"I'm sorry, I can only trouble you to send me this far."
"It's fine." Song Yifan smiled at Wei Yumeng. "I know you have a family and many things that matter to you."
Song Yifan's understanding indeed made Wei Yumeng feel comfortable. And honestly, during the week she suspected Zhan Mohan, it was Song Yifan who had been by her side, comforting her.
She planned to find an opportunity to express her gratitude for everything Song Yifan had done.
"Yumeng, is that Mr. Zhan over there?"
Song Yifan suddenly saw Zhan Mohan getting out of a car not far away.
Wei Yumeng also looked in the direction Song Yifan pointed.
She saw Zhan Mohan get out of the car, followed by a well-built woman.
She had seen that woman before; it was Wang Fang, whom Zhan Mohan had mentioned on the phone.
Wei Yumeng's heart sank. Had Zhan Mohan brought Wang Fang home?
"Yumeng, are you... are you alright?" Song Yifan looked at Wei Yumeng with concern. Read Books.com
Wei Yumeng just shook her head and continued to watch.
She saw Wang Fang, in a rather intimate manner, link her arm with Zhan Mohan's.
However, Zhan Mohan seemed to be worried about being seen and pulled his arm away.
Wang Fang looked a little displeased but still helped Zhan Mohan adjust his tie, looking like they were a couple.
Wang Fang even leaned in and kissed Zhan Mohan on the cheek when he wasn't paying attention.
They looked sweet and loving to outsiders, but Wei Yumeng, witnessing all this, felt like her heart was being cut with a knife.
Her whole body was trembling, and she could barely breathe.
"Yumeng, how about I take you somewhere else for a bit so you can calm down?" Song Yifan suggested.
After all, if this continued, Song Yifan was genuinely worried that Wei Yumeng would faint.
Wei Yumeng took a few deep breaths, trying to force herself to calm down.
Why did she have to witness this scene?
Did fate really want her to stumble upon this relationship?
Tears welled up in Wei Yumeng's eyes. She felt angry, sad, and unwilling.
"Yumeng?" Song Yifan asked again.
This time, Wei Yumeng had temporarily regained her composure. She turned to Song Yifan and said, "I'm fine. You worried unnecessarily. I'm going back now. We'll keep in touch when we have time."
After saying this, Wei Yumeng walked directly towards home.
Even though such a thing had happened, as long as she and Zhan Mohan were not divorced, she was still Zhan Mohan's wife.
No matter what she had to face next, she had to be mentally prepared.
Song Yifan watched Wei Yumeng's retreating figure and frowned. In fact, the reason he chose to bring Wei Yumeng back at this time today was because he had investigated Zhan Mohan's arrival time.
He just hadn't expected that Zhan Mohan would actually do something like this.
He began to worry if Wei Yumeng would do something foolish, if things would spiral out of his control.
But now that it had all happened, he could only wait for the outcome.
Because of Wang Fang's persistent clinginess, it took Zhan Mohan some time to get rid of her.
However, he had expected to be greeted by his beloved wife upon returning home, with everything prepared for his arrival.
But he saw Wei Yumeng sitting on the sofa, ignoring his return.
Zhan Mohan could feel the heavy atmosphere in the house, which indicated that Wei Yumeng was in a very bad mood.
Thinking back to what had just happened outside, he seemed to guess why Wei Yumeng was angry.
"Yumeng, I'm back." Zhan Mohan initiated the greeting.
But Wei Yumeng only glanced at him and then nodded, "I know."
Wei Yumeng's coldness made Zhan Mohan uncomfortable. He put down his luggage and sat down next to Wei Yumeng.
"I'm sorry. I tried my best to come back as soon as possible, but I still made you wait so long."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan. She had expected Zhan Mohan to directly explain his relationship with Wang Fang, but she didn't expect him to not mention it at all.
Was he planning to keep it hidden forever?
"Mohan, do you have nothing else to tell me?"
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng. "Are you still angry about Wang Fang? I already explained before, there's really nothing between her and me. Don't overthink it."
"Nothing?" Hearing this, Wei Yumeng only felt angrier. "I saw what you two were doing outside just now, and you're telling me there's nothing between you? Is kissing someone's cheek just a casual greeting to you?"
"Yumeng, it's not like that."
"Then tell me, what is it like? I saw your interaction with my own eyes. Are you expecting me to think it was all an illusion?"
Wei Yumeng stood up in agitation and looked at Zhan Mohan. "Actually, if... if you've changed your mind, if you've fallen for someone else, you can tell me openly. I will step aside. I won't pester you anymore."
"No, Yumeng, please calm down. I can give you an explanation."
Zhan Mohan's only option now was to tell Wei Yumeng everything.
At least let Wei Yumeng know that he had no feelings for Wang Fang, and even if something had happened, it was just an accident, not something he intended.
"An explanation? Do you want me to keep listening to your lies?"
It had been a long time since Zhan Mohan had seen Wei Yumeng's suspicious gaze, which felt like sharp swords piercing his heart.
