"Mom, these are the fruits Auntie next door gave us just now. Do you want one?"
Zhan Shiqing held a basket of fruit, her cheeks flushed with happiness. Wei Yumeng wanted to pinch her face.
Because Zhan Shiqing was so cute, she was very popular among her neighbors and often received gifts.
Zhan Jinzhi sighed with some helplessness. Sometimes he really wondered if Zhan Shiqing was too unwary.
"You can't accept gifts from just anyone. What if they have ill intentions?"
Zhan Shiqing pouted her lips defensively, "You know Aunt Li, she's not a bad person. She's very kind."
Wei Yumeng smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, both of you have a point."
Just then, Zhan Mohan walked in from outside.
"Mohan, you're back. Was work busy today?"
Zhan Mohan didn't answer her question, but pulled Wei Yumeng to his side and first checked her physical condition.
Wei Yumeng felt a bit awkward seeing Zhan Mohan's anxious look. He seemed overly worried about her these past few days, even though she had only been slightly startled and felt perfectly fine now.
However, Zhan Mohan returned home early every day, spent his rest time with Wei Yumeng, and to allay any lingering concerns she might have, he replaced all the household staff with new people.
It was said that every servant's background, even their ancestors, had been investigated to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Sometimes, Wei Yumeng felt a bit sorry for those people.
Zhan Mohan examined Wei Yumeng's body and touched her forehead. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mohan, you don't need to be so nervous. I was just scared before, and I don't have any injuries. I'm much better now and should be able to go out normally tomorrow."
But Zhan Mohan shook his head very seriously, "Stay at home for another week."
Wei Yumeng's mouth twitched. Another week? She felt like she was growing mushrooms from staying indoors so much.
But thinking that Zhan Mohan was also worried about her, she had no choice but to obey. If this would put Zhan Mohan's mind at ease, she had no objections.
Zhan Mohan noticed a very faint mark on Wei Yumeng's neck. Although it had healed significantly, it still looked jarring to him.
That mark seemed to constantly remind him of what had happened that night.
Wei Yumeng saw Zhan Mohan's gaze fixed on her neck and immediately reached up to cover it.
"It's just a small injury there, it's really not a big deal."
The two children looked at their parents like this, appearing cheerful.
Wei Yumeng knew that if they continued this topic, Zhan Mohan might recall unpleasant memories, so she decided to change the subject.
"Mohan, what's happening with the person who was caught earlier?"
Zhan Mohan finally withdrew his gaze, "It's a bit troublesome, but not completely hopeless. I've already asked Fang Xun to handle it. His work efficiency is trustworthy."
Wei Yumeng nodded, she did feel quite relieved about Fang Xun.
"However, there's one thing that's bothering me," Zhan Mohan frowned, "Fang Xun mentioned seeing Catherine and Kai together again, acting suspiciously. It's hard not to suspect something."
"Are you saying you think they might be involved in this?" Wei Yumeng was a little surprised. Kai and Catherine were together again?
Zhan Mohan shook his head, "I don't know, but I have a vague feeling that things are too coincidental. We all know Catherine and Kai had a falling out because of the previous incident, yet they're suddenly together. It makes anyone think something is amiss."
Although he said so, Wei Yumeng felt that given Kai's persistent pursuit of Catherine, it wasn't strange to see them together again. The only issue was Catherine's attitude towards Kai.
"Fang Xun told me they seemed very intimate at the coffee shop, but they didn't stay for long."
Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan exchanged glances. They had the same feeling. Why would Catherine suddenly be intimate with Kai? Perhaps this kind of thing wouldn't be strange with others, but with Catherine, it was because they knew the nature of Catherine and Kai's relationship very well.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, "Let's make a hypothetical assumption. If Catherine and Kai are back together, and their original transactional relationship continues, then it's not hard to imagine that Catherine approached Kai this time precisely to have him do something for her. We won't discuss what that 'something' is for now, but this relationship is established."
"And if Catherine was the one who had Kai do it, then it's understandable why the person I hired didn't find any issues with Catherine, because she might not have needed to act herself," Zhan Mohan agreed with Wei Yumeng's line of thought.
But even with their suspicions, what could they do? They still couldn't directly prove that Catherine was involved in this.
"So, the current situation is that we want to investigate Catherine?" Zhan Jinzhi suddenly interjected.
Wei Yumeng felt a bit embarrassed, "Jin'zhi, don't call elders by their names directly."
Zhan Jinzhi pouted. He truly didn't believe someone who might have hurt his mother deserved any politeness.
Zhan Shiqing chuckled and said, "If you want to know, why not just ask them?"
Although Zhan Shiqing said this with her simple, childlike logic, it unexpectedly reminded Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng.
If they wanted to know about Catherine's situation, directly asking was indeed the simplest method. However, the person they needed to ask wasn't Catherine, but Song Lijun.
"Mrs. Feng has been visiting me frequently lately. I think it's time I paid her a personal visit to express my gratitude," Wei Yumeng said with a smile, looking at Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan nodded, "Yes, let's prepare some gifts to thank her properly."
Song Lijun had been restless at home these past few days. On one hand, she was very worried about Catherine's situation, and on the other hand, she still couldn't stop worrying about Wei Yumeng.
Although Wei Yumeng had assured her on the phone that she was fine, Song Lijun couldn't help but worry.
"Madam, Mr. and Mrs. Zhan are here to visit you," a servant told Song Lijun.
Song Lijun was both surprised and delighted. She hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to come see her, and she was also very happy that Wei Yumeng would seek her out.
Song Lijun personally went to the door and invited Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng inside.
"Mrs. Feng, we've come specifically to thank you today. You've taken such good care of me during this time, and I'm truly grateful," Wei Yumeng said, handing the prepared gifts to Song Lijun.
