Wei Yumeng returned to the Zhan family with Fang Xun. As they stopped at the entrance, Fang Xun still wanted to remind her.
"Madam, although Young Master Zhan has already spoken to Miss Feng and Madam, you know them both. It's inevitable that they'll grumble a bit. Perhaps… you should just endure it."
For the sake of future peace.
Wei Yumeng did not want to make things difficult for Fang Xun or Zhan Mohan, and she replied with understanding.
"I understand, Fang Xun."
Fang Xun thought she truly understood and nodded.
"That's good."
Wei Yumeng never expected to return to the Zhan family in this lifetime. She thought that after leaving last time, the Zhan family would have nothing to do with her again.
Fate plays tricks on people; she had, after all, returned here.
She turned her head and asked Fang Xun, "When will Zhan Mohan be back?"
"Young Master Zhan might be back in the evening." He has a crucial project to discuss today, so he might be a bit late.
"Mm, got it." This meant she had to face the two of them alone first, right?
As Wei Yumeng walked in with Fang Xun, Feng Shiming quickly exchanged a look with Wen Yulan.
Wen Yulan was naturally not afraid of Wei Yumeng and was very displeased with Wei Yumeng's sudden return. Why was someone who had already left being invited back?
Although Zhan Mohan had already spoken to her, she was unwilling in her heart.
Now, upon seeing Wei Yumeng, her anger was completely ignited. The look she gave Wei Yumeng was anything but pleasant.
She couldn't directly confront and argue, but showing her displeasure through her facial expressions was something she excelled at.
"Oh, isn't this Wei Yumeng, who already divorced our A Han? What, you had an affair with some man outside and now you're back to make our A Han take the blame? We're all women, shouldn't you have some shame?"
Feng Shiming naturally chimed in, "Exactly. Moreover, I've already heard from Sister Siyu that she personally saw you getting an ultrasound at the hospital. The child must be that bastard child of Xin Ran."
Wei Yumeng could tolerate their sarcastic remarks and mockery, but she absolutely could not tolerate anything said about the child in her womb. That was her life.
As the saying goes, a mother becomes strong. She now felt as though she could sacrifice everything, even her life, for her child.
Her previously calm eyes instantly turned fierce, causing Feng Shiming and Wen Yulan to flinch.
Wen Yulan was particularly taken aback. When had this damned woman's aura changed so drastically? Especially that look in her eyes, it was almost as if she could devour someone.
It wasn't like she said it herself.
Immediately, Wei Yumeng's voice turned chilling. "Miss Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't worry about whose child I'm carrying. Your brother personally brought me back. If you have any objections, you can go find him."
Feng Shiming had never been spoken to like this by Wei Yumeng, especially with her defiant attitude and aloof demeanor. It made her feel a little overwhelmed.
But thinking that, no matter what, she was still the second young lady of the Zhan family. How could an outsider like Wei Yumeng dare to be so arrogant in front of her?
With this thought, Feng Shiming straightened her back, adding a bit more confidence.
"Wei Yumeng, do you think you're proud of your misdeeds? You did something so shameless, yet you don't want anyone to talk about it? It's as if you're not ashamed but proud."
"How I am is none of your business, and you're not qualified to lecture me. You're still a girl who hasn't even dated. If your future boyfriend knew his girlfriend had such a venomous tongue, I wonder what he would think of you."
"You… Wei Yumeng, do you really think you're someone important? How dare you speak to me like this? If my brother hadn't been so easily fooled by you, you probably wouldn't even have a place to stay, let alone be able to return to our wonderful home. This is a blessing you could never have in your life."
Wei Yumeng found it laughable. "Feng Shiming, not everyone envies your decadent lifestyle. Not everyone likes your so-called wealth and status. At least I don't."
Compared to these things, she yearned for a simple life.
Feng Shiming hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to return as a completely different person. Not only was her temper different, but her entire aura had changed. Was it because of her pregnancy?
Wen Yulan increasingly felt that if she couldn't suppress Wei Yumeng's arrogance, then once Wei Yumeng gained a firm foothold, she would surely walk all over her.
This woman's return this time must be well-prepared, judging by her formidable demeanor.
She cleared her throat, exuding the dignity of a hostess and the authority of an elder. Her face became extremely serious.
"Wei Yumeng, no matter what, you are in our Zhan family now. You betrayed A Han, which was your fault to begin with. Him accepting you again is because A Han is kind-hearted, but don't push your luck. Shiming is not wrong. The child in your belly isn't A Han's, so why shouldn't it be called a bastard?"
Fang Xun couldn't bear it any longer. He felt that Wen Yulan and Feng Shiming had gone too far. Young Master Zhan had specifically instructed him earlier that if these two spoke too outrageously and Madam couldn't handle it, he should step in to help.
However, before Fang Xun could speak, Wei Yumeng spoke first.
"Madam, it's still too early to say whose child I'm carrying. The reason A Han brought me back is because he believes the child in my womb belongs to the Zhan family. As for whose child it is, it seems unimportant for you to mention. When I was pregnant with my first child, you also knew the child was Zhan Mohan's, yet you pretended not to know and forcibly gave me medicine, causing me to lose the child in my womb, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yulan's expression became even more awkward.
Even the servants who were watching nearby began to discuss.
"So the child in Madam's womb was actually the eldest young master's? Then Madam… committed murder?"
"Madam is too wicked. She wouldn't even spare the child in someone's womb. No matter what, it was a life."
"No wonder the relationship between Madam and the young master has become increasingly strained since last time, to the point where they barely speak now. I…"
Before the servant could finish his sentence, Wen Yulan shot him a fierce glare, immediately scaring him into silence.
Wen Yulan suddenly began to defend herself. "When did I ever say I knew you were carrying A Han's child? If it were A Han's, why would I have made you have an abortion? I've treated A Han as my own child since I was young. If he could have children, I would be a grandmother. Why would I want to kill A Han's child? Wei Yumeng, you are truly despicable, concocting such lies to slander me!"
Wei Yumeng narrowed her eyes and let out a cold laugh.
"Then swear to God that you never harmed the child in my womb, that you didn't forcibly give me medicine. Swear it!"
