Zhan Mohan received a call from Wei Yumeng, and from her tone, he could tell how panicked she was.
"Mohan, I can't reach Lin Jing at all. This isn't like her. I'm really worried something has happened to her. If something really happened to her, I... what should I do?"
"Don't panic. I'll have Fang Xun personally check her residence. And don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."
Zhan Mohan rarely saw Wei Yumeng so flustered, so he just wanted to get back to her side quickly.
As soon as Wei Yumeng saw Zhan Mohan, she rushed into his arms and hugged him.
"Mohan, has Fang Xun gotten any news?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "Not yet. He probably hasn't arrived yet. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Zhan Mohan had his suspicions about this matter. He had asked Mu Linjing to find a way to track Catherine and find evidence of Catherine's fake pregnancy. If Mu Linjing had truly gone missing, then it was highly likely that Catherine was involved.
Therefore, he had asked Fang Xun to go to Mu Linjing's residence first. If she wasn't there, then he was to immediately go look for Catherine.
But just then, the video doorbell at home rang.
Wei Yumeng opened it, only to see Catherine's face on the screen.
"Yumeng, it's me. I'm here to talk about important matters. Can you let me in?"
Wei Yumeng felt that Catherine's demeanor was a little off. She couldn't tell if it was excitement or something else, but she felt as if Catherine had found some leverage over her.
Wei Yumeng still opened the door. Mu Linjing couldn't be reached at this time, and Catherine came looking for her. Perhaps this was not a coincidence at all.
Catherine walked in haughtily, looking at Wei Yumeng with pride.
"Yumeng, how have you been lately? You no longer have Feng's Group. You must be quite idle now, right?"
Wei Yumeng said calmly, "That's nothing. Being idle now gives me more time to spend with the children, which isn't a bad thing."
"Is that so?" Catherine said, glancing at Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan frowned. He knew Catherine must be plotting something again.
"Actually, I'm here today to tell you something. Although I've clarified my relationship with President Zhan to the media, some things are different on the surface than they are in reality."
Catherine sneered. "Actually, something that shouldn't have happened did happen between Zhan Mohan and me that night. I am now his person. Surprised?"
Wei Yumeng was stunned for a moment and took a few steps back.
Zhan Mohan had already explained that incident to her, but hearing it from Catherine's mouth still made her heart tremble.
Indeed, if Zhan Mohan had been unconscious then, he might not remember what happened that night. But Catherine knew. If the two of them had really slept together, what should she do?
"Shut up!" Zhan Mohan said coldly. "That night is in the past. There is nothing between us."
"Nothing? Yes, you would say that, because you passed out and have no idea what you did." Catherine deliberately took Zhan Mohan's hand and placed it on her chest. "Are you really sure you did nothing?"
Zhan Mohan snatched his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, his brow furrowing even tighter.
Wei Yumeng clenched her fists. Although she didn't know how to face this situation yet, she was certain of one thing: even if something had happened between them, Zhan Mohan had not done it willingly.
So, in this situation, the most important thing was to drive Catherine out of the house.
"If all you came here to say is this, then you can leave." Wei Yumeng pointed to the door. "I can solemnly tell you, don't think you can break up my family like this. How things are between us is none of your business. You can leave now."
But Catherine had no intention of leaving. She said to Zhan Mohan, "President Zhan, you are always welcome here."
Wei Yumeng became even angrier when she heard this. She picked up an object and threw it at Catherine.
"Get out!"
Fortunately, Catherine dodged in time, or she would have been hit directly.
She wanted to say something else, but Wei Yumeng wouldn't give her the chance. She threw everything within her reach at Catherine.
Catherine knew she couldn't say anything more, so she left Wei Yumeng's house.
When Wei Yumeng saw Catherine leave, she finally stopped. She was so angry that she sat on the sofa, still recovering for a long time.
Zhan Mohan, however, had already called Fang Xun. "Fang Xun, Catherine just left here. Follow her and see where she goes."
After hanging up the phone, he saw Wei Yumeng staring at him.
"Yumeng, we..."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "I know. Catherine said that deliberately. She just wants to sow discord between us, doesn't she?"
Zhan Mohan breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes."
"Then can you really confirm that nothing happened between you two that night?"
Zhan Mohan was slightly taken aback. Wei Yumeng still cared about this.
He tried to recall. "I can confirm that nothing happened. When I woke up that day, my clothes were not disturbed. Moreover, if anything had happened, I wouldn't have had no reaction at all."
Wei Yumeng finally relaxed. Indeed, if something had happened, Zhan Mohan wouldn't have found out nothing.
Wei Yumeng felt that this short half-hour felt like a very long time, causing her mood to change drastically in a short period.
She never expected Catherine to bring up what happened before.
Her mood still hadn't calmed down, and she even felt like crying. If Zhan Mohan and Catherine really had something going on, if they had really done something, what should she do?
Thinking this, tears inevitably fell. She originally thought she had complete trust in Zhan Mohan and never thought he would abandon her for another woman. But when such a thing really happened, she still couldn't pretend not to see it.
All she felt now was fear, the fear that it was all true.
Zhan Mohan hugged Wei Yumeng with heartache. "Yumeng, trust me. I will never love another woman in this life. Didn't Mu Linjing say it? I have such a good wife and such good children. How could I have the spare time to mess around with other women?"
Wei Yumeng looked up at Zhan Mohan. His gaze was focused and sincere. Wei Yumeng nodded.
If she didn't believe Zhan Mohan, then she had no one else in the world to believe.
