Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was in the office, looking over company documents, when a news item popped up on my computer: "Haoyang Group's Shen Zhixiong has been hospitalized due to a sudden illness!" Having a bad feeling, I quickly checked the stock market. Sure enough, Haoyang Group's share price was falling, but it rebounded slightly around noon. It looked like someone was buying behind the scenes. But since it was a low price, I might as well buy in. Why not seize the opportunity? By the close, Haoyang Group's price was even higher than it had been at the opening. It was clear the other party was desperate to buy. But their behavior didn't seem like the Shen family's. Was it Haoyang's competitor? Or who else?

I went to the hospital to visit Grandpa Shen that night, but he was still in a coma, so I could only offer some words of comfort to Father Shen and the others. Not long after I arrived, a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties and a man in his thirties arrived at the hospital. The man was holding a bouquet of flowers, and it looked like he was also there to visit Grandpa Shen.

"Who are you?" Mr. Shen was very confused.

"I'm Fan Xiaomeng! This is your brother Shen Shaopeng!"

The woman's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Mr. Shen instantly furious. "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here! Get out of here!" He immediately pushed them out.

But Shen Shaopeng blocked it, and Father Shen couldn't push them out the door. Fan Xiaomeng said, "I know you hate me, but your father is seriously ill now, and you shouldn't stop your brother from visiting your father!"

"Visit? You want to divide the family property, right?" Mr. Shen retorted bluntly.

"So what if we divide the family property? Shao Peng is also your father's child. He can naturally inherit your father's property! He also has your father's blood in him and is also a member of the Shen family!"

"You know exactly how this child came about, you shameless woman!"

This is the first time I've seen Mr. Shen lose his temper like this, a stark contrast to his usual polite demeanor. But from what I've seen so far, Fan Xiaomeng is probably Mr. Shen's mistress, and Shen Shaopeng is his illegitimate son. The mistress must be looking for a share of the property, but the name Shen Shaopeng sounds familiar; I've seen it somewhere before. Now I remember! The major shareholder of the company competing with me to acquire Haoyang shares today is Shen Shaopeng! It seems they've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time! They want to take control of Haoyang Group while Mr. Shen is ill!

"In short, Shaopeng is your half-brother, and he is also qualified to inherit your father's property! This is a right granted by the law!" Fan Xiaomeng said righteously.

"You woman are still so shameless!" Mr. Shen scolded Fan Xiaomeng. Mrs. Shen held his hand from behind, fearing that Mr. Shen would do something extreme.

"My Shaopeng is a top student at Princeton University. He has been the best student since he was young, better than you and even your son! In this world, the capable will be promoted. You, father and son, have been occupying high positions and doing nothing for too long! It's time to make way for someone better!" I was surprised that Fan Xiaomeng expressed her ambition so bluntly.

"You're dreaming!" Father Shen roared.

"Then we'll see!" Fan Xiaomeng gestured for Shen Shaopeng to put down the flowers, then left. Father Shen angrily threw the flowers out the door. As an outsider, I felt extremely embarrassed to see this situation. I stood silently in the corner, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Mr. Shen calmed down and said to me embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, Xiaoqing, for letting you see this."

"That's fine! But may I ask what your relationship is with Shen Shaopeng?"

"He is nothing! He doesn't deserve the surname Shen!" Father Shen was still very angry when he mentioned them.

"But I still want to tell you one thing. Shen Shaopeng is currently buying up a large number of Haoyang's shares!"

"I knew they were still up to no good!" Father Shen punched the wall angrily.

Seeing this, Mother Shen quickly pulled me away and said, "Xiaoqing, let me take you out. We'll tell you when Grandpa wakes up. Ah Hui, take good care of your father and grandfather."

When they reached the door, Shen's mother said, "I'm so sorry to let you see such an unbearable scene!"

"fine!"

"Although you and Ah Hui are divorced, you are not an outsider to our Shen family, and I am not afraid to tell you this unpleasant past."

"Well, you say."

"Thirty years ago, Fan Xiaomeng was Grandpa's secretary. She was only 25 years old at the time, having studied abroad. She was highly capable and ambitious. Grandpa admired her greatly and was willing to train her, offering her salary increases and promotions. But over time, this woman's restless nature became apparent! She constantly seduced Grandpa, and he ultimately succumbed to his temptations, and Fan Xiaomeng eventually became pregnant. After becoming pregnant, she resigned and went abroad to give birth without telling Grandpa. She returned when the child was three years old, demanding Grandpa recognize the child. Grandma and Grandpa had a close relationship at the time, but the sudden blow sent Grandma spiraling out of control. She drove away from home, but it rained heavily, making the roads slippery, and Grandma's car overturned. She ultimately died in the hospital. Grandpa and Ah Hui's father always believed that Fan Xiaomeng had killed Grandma, so they denied Grandpa's child and refused to acknowledge it as belonging to the Shen family. We ultimately used force to drive them out of Hegang, but we never expected them to show up so brazenly this time."

"So that's how it is!" It sounded like a plot from a TV drama to me. It turns out that art comes from life!

"I know Ah Hui's ability is limited, but if Fan Xiaomeng really comes to fight for the family property, please help him! Helping him is also helping your child!" Mother Shen pleaded.

"I know!"

The whole time I was thinking about what Mother Shen had said, it seems Fan Xiaomeng is no ordinary woman! She'll do anything to achieve her goals! She's even willing to become a mistress and destroy other people's families! I've had someone find all the information on Fan Xiaomeng and her son. I want to see just how powerful this woman is! Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to success!

Three days later, I saw all the information about Fan Xiaowei and her son, and I really sighed that this woman is a ruthless person! But this woman is really shameless. She keeps seducing rich men for money, and every time she gets a huge breakup fee! She used the breakup fee to package and improve herself, and finally married a Malaysian old rich man and became a wealthy wife! After the old rich man died, she also occupied his property and kicked out the original wife and the old rich man’s biological children from the company! But it seems that Shen Shaopeng is indeed excellent. His grades have always been first or second! And he played a significant role in kicking out the original wife’s children from the company. His strength should not be underestimated!

After Grandpa Shen woke up, he came to me to chat. He also took the initiative to talk about this past event. It was similar to what Mother Shen said, but there were some details that Mother Shen didn't know.

"When I was with that woman, I always took precautions and always prepared my own condoms, never asking her to prepare any, because I was afraid she would tamper with me. I also asked her to take birth control pills afterwards, and she did. But I didn't expect her to be so cunning!"

"What did she do?" I was curious.

"She would always collect my used condoms, extract usable sperm from them, and then take them to a private hospital for IVF! That child was conceived through IVF! After I found out about this, I asked the hospital to destroy all my sperm! Later, I repeatedly told Ah Hui to flush the contents of the condoms down the toilet when he went out to play! He couldn't give any other women a chance!"

I was shocked after hearing this. It's actually possible to do this! Fan Xiaomeng is such a ruthless woman. She can even come up with such an unconventional method!

"Xiaoqing, Fan Xiaomeng is too cunning. I'm afraid that Aping and Ahui are no match for her, so please help them when necessary! I'm old now, and my body is useless. I may collapse at any time. Now it's not only Fan Xiaomeng who is eyeing me, but even my relatives are eyeing my position, so Ahui and his son are now under attack from all sides, and they need your help! Please also help them to protect Haoyang and let them pass Haoyang to Changheng and others smoothly!" Grandpa Shen said, holding my hand tightly.

"Grandpa, you're in such good health, you'll definitely be able to see Changheng and the others grow up!"

"I don't know how long my old bones can hold on. I also hope that I can see Changheng take over Haoyang, but time does not allow it! For Changheng and the others, you must help Ah Hui!" Grandpa Shen became more and more excited as he spoke, and his coughing became more and more severe.

"I will, I will, Grandpa!" I stroked Grandpa Shen's back to let him not get too excited.

After learning the whole story, my interest in Fan Xiaomeng intensified. She'd do anything to get to the top, and even if there was no other way, she'd still create a miracle. A ruthless ruthless person! I have another tough battle to fight!
