As soon as Mu Linjing returned home, she told Zhan Yichen everything that had happened today.
"I'm telling you, I won't side with the Zhan family this time. I really feel now that it would be better for Yumeng to divorce Zhan Mohan. That way, Yumeng would suffer less."
To this day, Mu Linjing still felt angry whenever she thought of Wang Fang, and even more so felt it wasn't worth it for Wei Yumeng.
But after hearing these words, Zhan Yichen fell into deep thought.
"Something's not right..."
"What's not right?" Mu Linjing was a little confused, as she hadn't noticed anything amiss at all.
"Brother told me that he was supposed to come back earlier, but he was delayed by two days because he was buying a bag for my sister-in-law. Although he didn't say what kind of bag it was, I think..."
"It must be the one Wang Fang had?"
Mu Linjing became even angrier at this point. "He's even lying to you now. He clearly gave the bag to that vixen, but claimed he gave it to Yumeng."
"No, Linjing, I haven't finished speaking. Calm down."
Zhan Yichen continued to explain, "Brother also said that because he argued with my sister-in-law after returning, he never managed to give her the bag in the end and left it with Fang Xun."
Mu Linjing was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Could there be another possibility in this matter?
The two exchanged a look, and Zhan Yichen immediately called Fang Xun.
Only by confirming this matter could the truth be revealed.
"Fang Xun, I have something to ask you," Zhan Yichen said.
Fang Xun felt quite awkward. He had just discovered the bag was missing and was looking for it everywhere when Zhan Yichen called, making him feel extremely guilty.
Could Zhan Yichen have already discovered something?
"Young Master Zhan, is it again?"
"Did my brother leave the bag he was giving to my sister-in-law with you before?"
Zhan Yichen's words made Fang Xun's heart skip a beat. It was truly a case of the more you fear, the more it happens.
"I... I... it was indeed with me before..." Fang Xun's voice grew softer and softer, but he couldn't lie. "I lost it."
"Lost it?" Zhan Yichen was shocked.
Fang Xun felt even more guilty now. He knew perfectly well how valuable the bag was.
Would Zhan Yichen hold him accountable now? If so, he would truly have to work for free to repay his debts for the rest of his life.
"I apologize. This is indeed my responsibility, but could you give me a chance to find a way to get it back?"
Although Fang Xun had no idea where to look, he only had one option now.
Meanwhile, Zhan Yichen and Mu Linjing on the other end of the phone exchanged glances, and they already had a guess.
If Fang Xun's words were true, then Wang Fang's bag might have come from Fang Xun.
If that was the case, as long as they confirmed whether these two people had met during this period, everything would become clear.
"Fang Xun, think carefully. Have you met Wang Fang these past few days? The model."
As soon as Zhan Yichen finished speaking, Fang Xun suddenly realized.
"It must be her! That's right, she must have taken the bag. After Mr. Zhan gave me the bag that day, I put it in the car. Later, Wang Fang appeared and insisted on me giving her a ride. She saw the bag at that time and specifically asked about its origin."
The case was now solved. It turned out the matter of the bag was like this.
The first thing Fang Xun did after hanging up the phone was to find Wang Fang to get the bag back.
Mu Linjing's heart was also pounding. If the matter of the bag was all a fabrication, then what about the relationship between Wang Fang and Zhan Mohan?
Thinking of this, Mu Linjing looked at Zhan Yichen. "Husband, it seems we, husband and wife, have to step in and help this time."
After all, Zhan Mohan was in a lot of trouble, and Wei Yumeng was deeply hurt by betrayal, neither of whom seemed capable of investigating this matter rationally.
Zhan Yichen also pondered. "I will investigate, but you also need to help me with one thing. Tell my sister-in-law about the bag first, so she can temporarily let go of her suspicion of my brother and buy us more time."
"I was just about to do that," Mu Linjing nodded. "But I think we can use this matter to further ease their relationship."
As she said this, she already had a new idea.
Due to the misunderstanding between them, Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan had entered a cold war.
Although they lived under the same roof, the atmosphere was awkward even when they met.
"Brother, are Dad and Mom really going to separate?"
Zhan Shiqing looked at the two adults with a wronged expression. "I don't want Mom and Dad to separate."
Zhan Jinzhi's expression was serious. He couldn't understand this matter either.
Just then, someone called Zhan Jinzhi. After Zhan Jinzhi answered, he whispered something to Zhan Shiqing.
Zhan Shiqing's face immediately lit up with surprise. The two nodded, signaling they had an understanding.
Before leaving, Zhan Mohan couldn't help but want to say something to Wei Yumeng, but Wei Yumeng just returned to her room by herself.
He could only sigh and say to the two children, "It's the weekend today. Stay at home and accompany your mother. If anything happens, be sure to tell me."
Zhan Shiqing asked seriously, "Dad, do you really not want Mom anymore?"
"How could I? She's the woman I love most in this world."
"Then why do you have to make such a fuss? Why can't you just talk things through?"
Zhan Mohan was helpless. If things could be easily clarified, he wouldn't be so troubled.
Zhan Jinzhi pulled Zhan Shiqing, telling her not to ask any more questions. "We have other things to do next. Don't forget."
Only then did Zhan Shiqing let Zhan Mohan go.
After confirming that Zhan Mohan had truly left, the two children ran to Wei Yumeng's room to find her.
"Mom, we want to attend an event today. Can you come with us?"
As Zhan Shiqing spoke, she looked at Zhan Jinzhi.
Mu Linjing on the phone had only told them to find a way to bring Wei Yumeng there, but the method was up to them to figure out.
"I'm sorry, Mom isn't in the mood," Wei Yumeng answered directly.
Zhan Jinzhi gave Zhan Shiqing a look. Zhan Shiqing understood and, after gathering her emotions, burst into tears.
"Shiqing has been looking forward to this event for a long time, but neither Dad nor Mom will accompany me. You don't love me anymore!"
Finally, Wei Yumeng opened the door and looked at the two children. After all, she didn't want the adults' problems to affect the children.
"I'm sorry, it was Mom's fault just now. Mom hasn't been in a good mood lately, but I've changed my mind. I'll go with you."
The two children then exchanged a look. They had succeeded.
Wei Yumeng went into her room to get ready and then left with the two children.
As soon as they left, Zhan Jinzhi sent a text message to Mu Linjing to report.
After all, in their opinion, whether the misunderstanding between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng could be resolved depended on the preparations that followed.
