Chapter 1653 Old Acquaintance Returns

"I can testify that everything Assistant Fang said is true. As his friend, I've always been dissatisfied with his behavior. It's precisely because of these despicable methods that he's reached his current position."

"I can also testify. We entered the company together as colleagues. His actions among us have long been an open secret, it's just that President Li didn't know about it."

"And me, I can also testify..."

The words of the following few people all confirmed Zhou Fei's problematic behavior. Some even presented substantial evidence.

"You! How can you do this to me!" Zhou Fei looked at these people, utterly incredulous. He thought he had treated his friends and colleagues well, so why were they choosing to betray him at this moment?

"Alright, now that everything has been said, I believe the truth is out," Fang Xun looked at Zhan Mohan. After Zhan Mohan nodded, he stepped aside.

Zhan Mohan looked at President Li. "I believe you know how to handle this matter. After this incident, I will officially sue Zhou Fei for the impact he had on my wife. Of course, if your company is implicated, then I can only apologize in advance."

President Li's expression had already turned grim. Originally, his company and Zhan Group were in different industries, coexisting peacefully. But now, with this incident, Zhan Mohan could drag Fashion Gossip down with him if he wished, and the entire company would suffer greatly. Zhan Mohan was giving him a test, to see how he would handle Zhou Fei.

President Li cleared his throat and then said to Zhou Fei, "Your termination is a certainty. However, the situation has escalated to a point where merely firing you won't resolve it. You've caused our entire company to be subjected to public scrutiny. You should provide appropriate compensation to the company. As for the specific details, you'll know once I formally sue you."

"President Li, please listen to me. This is all a conspiracy. Zhan Mohan is doing this to drag me down. You can't be led astray by him. Please give me a chance."

"Enough! You still say this even now!" President Li's face was flushed with anger, smoke almost coming out of his nostrils. "The public's eyes are discerning. You still haven't realized your own mistakes and are blaming others. How can I keep you?"

"President Li, I won't leave. Please give me a chance, just once." Zhou Fei had put in so much effort and spent so much money to reach his current position; how could he give up so easily? Even if he had to act shamelessly, he wouldn't leave here today.

President Li glanced at the bodyguards outside the door. "Guards, throw him out."

"No, President Li, no!" Despite Zhou Fei's struggles, he was eventually taken away by the bodyguards.

After Zhou Fei left, President Li took a deep breath, gradually stabilizing his emotions. It was time to give Zhan Mohan an explanation.

"Mr. Zhan, our company is truly sorry for this matter, and we sincerely apologize to your wife. However, I have now dealt with the culprit, so please understand that our company is also a victim in this. We will handle the subsequent procedures for Zhou Fei according to the law, you can rest assured."

Zhan Mohan nodded. "I trust your handling of matters, President Li. This way, I can also give my wife an explanation."

Wei Yumeng watched the entire live broadcast from home. She saw how the previous negative public opinion towards her began to shift. Everyone now knew that she was the victim in this matter. But what Wei Yumeng cared about more were Zhan Mohan's actions for her. She knew that investigating these matters and arranging this live broadcast must have been incredibly difficult. Yet, Zhan Mohan had done it, and in such a grand manner, clearing her name from the accusations. A sense of happiness instantly filled her heart. If Zhan Mohan were here now, she would definitely give him a hug.

"This is wonderful," Mu Linjing said, relieved. "Yumeng, look, some people are even planning to come and apologize to you."

"Oh really?" Mu Linjing heard a hint of happiness in Wei Yumeng's voice. This tone was something she hadn't heard in a long time since Wei Yumeng fell ill. Even the psychiatrist had said that given Wei Yumeng's condition, her initial behavior was like that of a depressed patient, unable to control her thoughts and always expecting the worst. But now, Wei Yumeng had clearly broken free from that state.

"Yumeng, you look much better now," Mu Linjing said, genuinely happy and even on the verge of tears.

Wei Yumeng looked at Mu Linjing helplessly. "I'm sorry, you must have been worried during this time."

"It's good that you're okay," Mu Linjing hugged Wei Yumeng. Wei Yumeng's condition had worsened due to the public opinion, and now it was improving with everyone's understanding.

In the following days, people continued to visit Wei Yumeng. Television personnel interviewed her about her current situation and further inquired about the previous events. There were also spontaneous netizens and medical students who came to see her. With the companionship and care of these people, she finally managed to overcome that difficult period.

But it was at this time that an unexpected person appeared...

"Yumeng, long time no see." The person speaking wore a white suit, rimless glasses, and had long hair tied to one side. Men with long hair often seemed peculiar, but he had a handsome face that perfectly suited such a style. He appeared polite and exuded a natural charm.

"What a beauty..." Mu Linjing muttered softly. Wei Yumeng, however, had never expected to meet the person in front of her again. Why was he here? Why did he appear at this specific moment? Mu Linjing turned to Wei Yumeng, puzzled. "Yumeng, do you know him?"

Before Wei Yumeng could answer, he spoke first. He smiled and replied, "Yes, not only do we know each other, but we are very familiar." Mu Linjing thought he had a beautiful smile. She looked at Wei Yumeng, then at the man in front of her, feeling that their relationship was not simple. After all, there were very few people who could make Wei Yumeng show such a surprised expression.

"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but thanks to the power of those netizens, I learned where you live now and how you're doing." As he spoke, he placed the things he brought aside. "This is a little something I brought for you. I hope you'll accept it."

Wei Yumeng was speechless for a long time, unsure how to express her feelings. The gears of fate began to turn again, and things that should have been forgotten resurfaced in Wei Yumeng's mind.
