Wei Yumeng also felt very embarrassed about disturbing Jing Yan at this time, so she did not plan to keep him.
"Okay, thank you so much today."
Jing Yan smiled at Wei Yumeng and then turned to leave the Zhan family.
But as soon as he got into the car, he found that Zhan Mohan's jacket was on the back seat.
He was about to pick up the jacket to give it to Wei Yumeng, when he happened to touch something hard in the pocket.
Curiosity drove him to take out what was inside. It turned out to be a woman's earring. He had seen the owner of this earring not long ago.
If he remembered correctly, when he went to pick up Zhan Mohan, Chen Yutong was wearing an identical earring.
Jing Yan even felt a little flustered. He had just promised Wei Yumeng that nothing would happen to Zhan Mohan, but now he had discovered something like this.
He hesitated about what to do with the earring. He could not bear to imagine how Wei Yumeng would react if she saw it.
He could pretend he hadn't seen anything and hand the jacket back to Wei Yumeng as it was, but deep down, he didn't want to do that.
Jing Yan finally held the earring in his hand and walked out of the car with the jacket again.
Wei Yumeng was a little surprised when she heard the doorbell. Who would come back to find her at this hour?
"Madam, it's me."
Hearing Jing Yan's voice, Wei Yumeng opened the door.
"Jing Yan, why are you back again? Did you forget something?"
Jing Yan smiled awkwardly, "I did forget something, but it was I who forgot. Mr. Zhan forgot his jacket."
He handed the jacket to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng took the jacket, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
"Then I'll be going now." Jing Yan felt guilty and didn't know how to talk to Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng felt that Jing Yan seemed a little nervous, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there could be many reasons for someone to feel nervous, and she didn't need to dwell on every detail.
Jing Yan got back into the car and took a deep breath. He opened his palm, and the earring was still in his hand.
He could not be sure if what he did was right. No matter what, he had to confirm the relationship between Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong first.
As they had agreed, Jing Yan came to the Zhan family again the next morning to check on Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan seemed to have sobered up and did not seem to remember parts of what happened last night.
"How are you feeling?" Jing Yan asked.
Zhan Mohan just shook his head, "I'm fine, my head just still hurts a little."
Wei Yumeng also chided him, "Mohan, you shouldn't drink so much in the future."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng and smiled slightly, "Okay."
Jing Yan handed a recipe to Wei Yumeng, "Madam, I found this specifically. It's a soup that can help with hangovers. Please make a bowl for Mr. Zhan."
Wei Yumeng nodded and left the room with the recipe.
After making sure Wei Yumeng had left, Jing Yan nervously closed the door and looked at Zhan Mohan with a very serious expression.
"Mohan, as your childhood friend, I'm going to ask you a question. You have to answer me honestly."
Zhan Mohan looked at Jing Yan's serious expression and frowned involuntarily. Was it related to him blacking out yesterday?
"Go ahead."
"When I came to pick you up yesterday, you were with that famous model. Do you remember?"
Zhan Mohan did not deny it, "I went to meet a business partner with her yesterday, so it's not strange."
"Then did nothing happen between you two?"
Zhan Mohan frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
Jing Yan then said, "When I picked you up yesterday, I didn't notice anything unusual. But I found this earring in your jacket pocket. I think you should know whose it is."
Zhan Mohan took the earring. It was indeed Chen Yutong's.
If the two had not been intimate, a woman's earring would not have fallen into his pocket.
The two talking could never have imagined that Wei Yumeng had prepared everything. Since the soup needed to simmer for a while, she decided to go up and check on Zhan Mohan's condition.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she faintly heard voices inside.
She didn't know why, but by the time she reacted, she was already leaning against the door and eavesdropping.
The content she heard was even more shocking, so much so that she didn't take in anything else they said later.
Chen Yutong's earring was in Zhan Mohan's clothes?
Wei Yumeng could hardly believe it. Thinking back, she finally understood why Jing Yan had been so nervous when he returned last night.
Jing Yan probably didn't know how to handle the situation either.
Could it be that Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong...
Thinking of this, Wei Yumeng felt a pang in her heart.
If it hadn't been for hearing their conversation in such circumstances, Wei Yumeng would never have believed that Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong really had something going on.
But the fact that Jing Yan and Zhan Mohan were talking about it in secret made her feel even worse.
If Jing Yan didn't suspect this, he wouldn't have avoided her and talked to Zhan Mohan alone.
Wouldn't that further prove that Jing Yan might have already discovered something but hadn't told her?
Wei Yumeng bit her lower lip. She didn't know what to do for now. Should she pretend to know nothing?
But she couldn't guarantee that she could really pretend.
In the room, Zhan Mohan looked at Jing Yan and also fell into thought.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember what had happened between him and Chen Yutong last night, which made him very annoyed.
"Does... does Yumeng know about this?" Zhan Mohan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Jing Yan shook his head, "I hid the earring, Madam probably doesn't know yet."
Zhan Mohan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wei Yumeng didn't misunderstand him, everything could still be resolved.
"Please keep this from her for now. I'll find a way to figure this out."
Jing Yan nodded. The reason he was discussing this with Zhan Mohan in secret was precisely because he wanted Zhan Mohan to handle everything before Wei Yumeng noticed anything.
Zhan Mohan looked at the earring in his hand, his expression not much better.
If Chen Yutong were an ordinary woman, it would be fine. He could handle it however he wanted. But now Chen Yutong was Zhan Yangyi's girlfriend, so what should he do?
