Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

When we celebrated Wei Cheng's first birthday, everyone from the Li family came, except for Li Zhanwen's mother. This surprised me. But even more surprising was that they didn't mind the previous unpleasantness. They understood my position, apologized for the pain their mother had caused me, and expressed gratitude for the new addition to their family. We threw a lively birthday party for Wei Cheng. With my permission, the Li family published our photos and even took out a special newspaper to wish their family member a happy first birthday.

The release of the photos garnered widespread media attention, turning their attention once again to me. They were particularly concerned about my relationship issues, and my involvement with a wealthy young man from Hong Kong Island, which further intensified their excitement. They frantically dug up materials and interviewed relevant personnel. Shen Junhui's mother and Li Zhanwen's mother were the main targets of the media, as everyone wanted to know whether these wealthy women would accept their sons marrying a divorced woman with children.

Hong Kong Island reporters were all on-site for interviews, so the media quickly found Li Zhanwen's mother, and she readily agreed to the interview.

Entertainment reporter: Mrs. Li, do you know about your son and Wei Qing?

Mrs. Li: I know! I really don’t like that woman! (with a look of disgust)

Entertainment reporter: But Wei Qing gave you a grandson!

Mrs. Li: So what? I have plenty of grandchildren, so I don't need one more! And she gave birth to this child out of wedlock, making my Ah Zhan an unwed father. This really affects his image! Besides, who knows if this child is actually Ah Zhan's? She gave birth to another child shortly after her divorce. A woman like that has a chaotic private life! Marrying her would be a disaster for our family!

Entertainment reporter: Your son is now against you because of Wei Qing. Do you have anything to say to Wei Qing?

Mrs. Li: I don't have anything to say to her, but I want to tell that woman surnamed Wei: Stay away from my son! My son is very outstanding, and a woman like her is not worthy of him!

Reporter: But Mrs. Li, in terms of ability, Wei Qing completely outshines Li Zhanwen. In terms of wealth, Wei Qing also completely outshines Li Zhanwen. Why do you think Wei Qing is unworthy?

Mrs. Li: That woman is just a nouveau riche. Do you think she relies on herself? She relies on Xiao Yuan and the Xiao family!

Entertainment Reporter: Xiao Du had fought Wei Qing before, but was defeated. Relying on the Xiao family doesn't seem right, right? And Wei Qing has already defeated the Cheng, Li, and Xiao families. His strength shouldn't be underestimated!

Mrs. Li: She's just lucky! How can anyone be lucky all the time? Now she's leaning on the Shen family while keeping my Ah Zhan hooked. This woman is incredibly scheming!

Entertainment reporter: It seems like your son is the one who keeps pestering her!

Mrs. Li: That's her trick! Playing hard to get! I'm a woman too, so how could I not see through her little tricks?

Entertainment reporter: You seem unable to face reality. Wei Qing sent you to prison before... (interrupted by Mrs. Li)

Mrs. Li: She framed me!

Entertainment reporter: Aren’t you afraid of Wei Qing’s revenge after you slandered her like this?

Mrs. Li: Even if she doesn’t retaliate against me, I will still go and settle the score with her!

Entertainment reporter: What would you do if your son insists on being with her?

Mrs. Li: I'll kill that little bitch! No wonder her husband dumped her and divorced her. You can't marry a woman like that! I'll definitely stop my son!

……

Li Zhanwen's mother remained the same, constantly praising her son and disparaging me. After the interview aired, Li Zhanwen's mother was mocked by Hong Kongers as a "rich wife with Alzheimer's," mocking them for being stuck in the past and unable to grasp reality. She also interpreted my divorce as a sign of abandonment by my husband, saying that a woman's priority should be family, and attacking me as a slut for having a child before marriage. These remarks were met with disdain by many, earning her the nickname "feudal old woman."

After the interview aired, the Li family's stock plummeted, forcing them to issue a statement apologizing to me. Li Zhaohua, Li Hewen, and Li Zhanwen, father and son, all called to apologize, and I accepted their apologies.

The next day, entertainment reporters interviewed Shen Junhui's mother.

Entertainment reporter: Mrs. Shen, do you know about what happened between your son and Wei Qing?

Mrs. Shen: (laughing) I know! I knew it from the beginning!

Entertainment reporter: Do you oppose them?

Mrs. Shen: Why would you object? My son is marrying a wife to live with him, not me! His preference is the most important thing. Besides, Wei Qing is a good person with outstanding abilities, and I like him too!

Entertainment reporter: But Wei Qing is divorced and still has children!

Mrs. Shen: (Surprised) What era is this? They still care about this! Han Jingdi's wife, Han Wudi's mother, and Empress Wu Zetian were both second-married women. None of this affects their excellence! Marriage doesn't define a woman!

Entertainment reporter: Do Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen object?

Mrs. Shen: They're all supportive. As parents, we should respect our children's wishes when they grow up and find someone they love. And Wei Qing is really talented. After being with her, Ah Hui has become much calmer and less impulsive. I'm very grateful to her! (laughs)

Entertainment reporter: Now Wei Qing has Li Zhanwen next to her. Do you think Wei Qing is a fickle woman?

Mrs. Shen: Wei Qing's current boyfriend is Ah Hui. As far as I know, Li Zhanwen and he's just friends! And I think you're using the term "fickle" incorrectly. It's an insulting term and shouldn't be used on Wei Qing! It's normal for an outstanding woman to be liked by many men! Excellence itself is very attractive!

Entertainment reporter: The Shen family is a big family. Do you think Shen Junhui and Wei Qingchen are a good match?

Mrs. Shen: Of course! Wei Qing is incredibly talented, a self-made woman with extraordinary courage. She's accomplished in just a few years what would take others decades. Ah Hui's abilities are far inferior to hers, so Ah Hui is a bit overreaching! Honestly, I know what my son is like, and we couldn't be happier to be able to marry such a gifted woman, a rare talent!

……

As the reporters continued to question them, Shen Junhui's mother consistently expressed her support, her attitude completely different from Li Zhanwen's. Online, people were calling Shen Junhui's mother "the fairy mother-in-law," and everyone was clamoring to marry Shen Junhui. The contrast with Shen Junhui's mother further solidified Li Zhanwen's mother's image as the "evil mother-in-law." Online, there was widespread criticism of Li Zhanwen's mother and praise for Shen Junhui's mother. Shen Junhui kept scrolling through the comments, occasionally laughing.

"What's so funny? Share it?" I asked as I sat next to him.

He handed me his phone and said, "Look at this: 'Mrs. Shen is her son's godly assist, and Mrs. Li is her son's idiot teammate. No wonder Li Zhanwen can't catch up with Wei Qing!' This description is so apt! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha, this generation of netizens is so funny!"

"And this, 'Mrs. Li loves her son so much, it turns out Li Zhanwen was a mama's boy!' They only just realized Li Zhanwen is a mama's boy now! It's too late!"

"But now he dares to resist them, which shows that he has mustered up great courage. His courage is commendable!"

"Tsk, he's so fucking old, he'll probably cry, make a fuss, and even try to hang himself, and then get so angry that he'll be hospitalized. Just wait and see if Li Zhanwen will compromise!" Shen Junhui said disdainfully.

"Speaking of which, I've met Li Zhanwen's mother three times before, and we've always clashed. But the old lady is in pretty good health. When I argued with her, she didn't even get her blood pressure skyrocket or hold her hands over her chest. For someone her age to be able to handle some harsh language, she's in pretty good shape!"

"After all, he's a man who's seen the world, and you're such a small fry!"

"It seems so! But does your mother really not mind me?"

"My mom is very quick to embrace new things, and she's very trendy! When she was young, she was a dancer and an artist. You know, people who are into art are eclectic and bold. She even told me that as long as I really like someone, I don't have to bring him home with someone other than the opposite sex!"

"Wow! Is this true? Your mother is so open-minded?" I was shocked that a wealthy wife from a wealthy family could have such advanced ideas.

"Really! She gave me a free-range education. She supports anything I like!"

"No wonder you're so arrogant! Turns out you have a loving mother backing you up!"

"After you marry me, you and my mom should be able to become good friends! My mom doesn't have a daughter, so she will definitely treat you like one!"

"Speaking of which, I'm curious why you're the only one in your family. Aren't wealthy families supposed to have many children and grandchildren?"

"When my mom was young, she was pursuing a career. She was a dancer and needed to stay in shape, so she insisted on not having a second child. My dad also doted on her and helped her withstand the pressure from my grandfather!"

"Your father dotes on his wife so much?"

"Our family has a tradition of pampering wives. Why do you think my grandfather only has my father as a child?" Shen Junhui said proudly.

"Yo yo yo! Look how proud you are!"

"So don't worry about anything if you marry me, I'm here!" Shen Junhui took the opportunity to hug me in his arms.

I felt the long-lost sense of security in his arms. Our relationship was recognized by both sides' parents. I was very happy and very blessed!
