Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

As soon as Li Zhanwen and I came out of the Independent Commission Against Corruption's investigation, various media outlets rushed to us, wanting to interview me, their "rumored girlfriend," to get my response to the Shen Shaopeng incident.

Reporter A: Mr. Wei, do you have anything to say about Shen Shaopeng's online activities? He has been taken into custody for investigation. Will you help him out of this predicament?

Me: I solemnly declare! I have nothing to do with Shen Shaopeng. His previous actions were all unilateral and personal! I didn't accept any of his feelings! The reason I didn't respond was because I thought it was nonsense! But now these rumors have affected my life and the lives of my family, so I need to clarify here! I have nothing to do with Shen Shaopeng!

Reporter B: Was it Shen Shaopeng who pursued you unilaterally?

Me: You could say that! And I’ve made it clear many times that I don’t like him and have expressed my dissatisfaction with his behavior, because it really bothered me a lot!

Then I turned around and took Li Zhanwen's hand. He was surprised but soon held my fingers with a smile on his face. We showed our clasped hands in front of the cameras of various media, which caused a stir. We officially announced our relationship!

Me: Li Zhanwen and I have been together for a while! So I have nothing to do with Shen Shaopeng, and I don't even like people like him! My exes all had their flaws, but at least their personalities weren't too problematic! And their looks were much better than Shen Shaopeng's, so I still have pretty high standards! Hahaha!

My answer incidentally hinted at Shen Shaopeng, successfully drawing the reporter's attention to Shen Shaopeng's negative information. However, in response to the reporter's questions about Shen Shaopeng's negative information, I was vague and even expressed shock, successfully creating a persona of ignorance for myself, which also further cemented Shen Shaopeng's sinister and cunning image.

"Okay, okay, if you have any questions, please ask them later! We have submitted all the evidence to the ICAC, and you can just pay attention to the ICAC's announcement when the time comes. Now we have to go back, so please make way!" Li Zhanwen pulled me to the car, and finally drove the car away from the crowd of reporters with difficulty.

"Were you serious just now?" Li Zhanwen asked anxiously.

"seriously!"

"So I got a permanent job?" Li Zhanwen was so excited that he almost bumped into the flower bed.

"Watch the road! Don't be distracted!" I shouted hurriedly.

"I'm sorry! I'm so happy! So I'm your boyfriend now, right?"

"Well! You have already taken ninety-nine steps towards me. Let me take the last step towards you!" I turned my head and looked at him with a smile.

Li Zhanwen excitedly slapped the steering wheel and accidentally honked the horn, and people on the side of the road looked at us. He was very excited and had a lot to say to me along the way. How come I didn't realize he was so talkative before!

As soon as the interview in front of the ICAC came out, the reputation of Shen Shaopeng and I, mother and son, took a dramatic turn. I went from a cheap woman who had been divorced twice to a poor woman who was deceived by a sinister and cunning illegitimate child. Those marketing accounts that had previously dragged me down are now starting to flatter me, calling me the heroine and a strong woman. Anyway, they are constantly trying to take advantage of my traffic.

After I announced my relationship with Li Zhanwen, Li's mother went ballistic. She hired online trolls to curse me and even stood outside my house cursing me. But I wouldn't see her or let her in, so I let her curse outside. Since she couldn't reach me, she found another way to give interviews to the media, constantly attacking and insulting me. But the internet is full of regrets and apologies, so unsurprisingly, she's been badly criticized online.

I don't know what tricks Fan Xiaomeng used, but she quickly bailed out Shen Shaopeng and made the project manager take the entire responsibility. Thus, the bribery incident came to an end. But I didn't completely kill the competition! Shen Shaopeng still has a chance to fight back!

Shen Shaopeng's scandal caused Haoyang's stock price to plummet, and the Shen family was eagerly preparing to hold a board meeting to remove Shen Shaopeng, but Shen Shaopeng got ahead of them and suppressed the plan. What was even more unexpected was that Shen Shaopeng actually teamed up with Xiao Feng and Cheng Zhi to frantically suppress Zhongding's film and television city project, and it seemed that he would not stop until the project failed.

Haoyang Group, Xiao Family and Li Family are among the top companies in the real estate industry. They have already issued a harsh statement that they will not allow any cooperation with Zhong Ding. Haoyang has also withdrawn the engineering team from the film and television city project. Currently, there is no other real estate company in the entire Hegang that dares to cooperate with Zhong Ding. The film and television city project has come to a standstill, and every day of stagnation will result in huge losses. They want to drag Zhong Ding to death!

Li Zhanwen kept calling to ask his brother to stop, but his father and brother were helpless because his mother was determined to make him bankrupt. His father and brother tried to persuade his mother for a long time but failed. His mother threatened to commit suicide, so they had no choice but to stand by and watch, letting his mother do whatever she wanted.

"Aqing, I'm sorry! How about we break up? Otherwise my mother won't give up!" Li Zhanwen said guiltily.

"You are mine! No one can take you away! Not even your mother!"

"But my dad can't do anything to my mom. I really can't do anything!"

"Why are all the men in your Li family so cowardly? Your father and your brothers can be threatened by your mother one by one? Isn't your company in your father's hands? How could your father let your mother do whatever she wants? And what about the company's shareholders? Doesn't he care about any of them?"

"My dad loves my mom very much and is very easy to please! My brothers and sisters, influenced by him, also respect my mom very much. And Shen Shaopeng persuaded all the shareholders and promised to give them benefits, so..."

"Shen Shaopeng is a master of words! He knows the weaknesses of human nature very well, and his words are so beautiful that they are impossible to refuse!"

"I'm so useless! I always cause you trouble!" Li Zhanwen slapped himself and wanted to slap the other side, but I stopped him.

"It's not your fault! Don't blame yourself too much. We can face any difficulties together! What I need most right now is your support!"

"So, do you have any solution for this situation?"

"If God wants to destroy someone, he will first make him crazy! They can't be so arrogant for many more days!"

"Can you really get through this?"

"Of course! After this battle, the wealthy families in Hegang will be reshuffled!"

Seeing that I was confident, Li Zhanwen didn't say anything.

Over the next few days, Shen Shaopeng attacked Zhong Ding repeatedly, leaving him powerless to fight back. Li Zhanwen was still struggling, returning home every day to beg his mother to stop, but his mother refused to see him. I was leisurely shopping with Shen's mother and the four children when I ran into Shen Shaopeng and Li's mother coming out of a dinner party.

"Woman! You should return to your family! Isn't it nice to take the kids out for a walk and go shopping? Why bother pursuing a career? Career is a man's business!" Shen Shaopeng said sarcastically as he watched me taking care of the kids.

"Only incompetent men would ask women to return to the family, because they are afraid that women will be more capable than themselves and they will lose face!" I responded bluntly.

"These kids are pretty good looking! What a pity that in a few days they may not be able to wear such nice clothes, and they may not even have enough to eat! They don't belong to the upper class!" Fan Xiaomeng said disdainfully.

"How dare you, a mistress, say something about our Shen family's children!" Mother Shen retorted to Fan Xiaomeng.

"Oh! According to seniority, you still have to call me 'young mother'!"

"You are so shameless!" Mother Shen replied with disgust.

"Mrs. Shen, look, your Shen family married such a jinx and now they have lost the company. This is really bad luck!" Mother Li said sarcastically.

"It's still unclear whether it's a jinx or not!" Mother Shen was not to be outdone. "We're all old now. If children have someone they like, we should respect that instead of obstructing them. You shouldn't force your will on them. It will only hurt them! The gap between you and them will only get deeper and deeper!"

"It was this woman's appearance that made my son disown me. She is a jinx! It's all her fault!" Mother Li said angrily, pointing at me.

"Mrs. Li, you are in cahoots with this mistress. Aren't you afraid that all the rich wives in Hegang will laugh at you?" I answered with a dagger hidden in my smile.

"Humph! People like you are despised by the upper class!"

"Alright! Then I'll wait and see who gets spurned by the upper class first!"

"Wei Qing, you are still so stubborn even when you are about to die!" Shen Shaopeng said mockingly.

"Shen Shaopeng, it's still unclear who will die! You said that I was framed and attacked by you these days, but why didn't Xiao Yuan and the others come out to speak for me?"

"You've become a discarded pawn! Hahahaha! You've totally overestimated your status in Xiao Yuan's heart! Our upper-class society can't tolerate someone like you who got to where you are by luck! You're simply polluting the air above us!"

"You've achieved this by your own ability, haven't you? You know all the good things you've done along the way!"

"It doesn't matter what I did, what matters is that I am the winner now!"

"Cheng brothers and sisters, Xiao Feng and you, Shen Shaopeng, you are all defeated by me. Now you are standing on the united front to deal with me. Do you want to form an Avengers Alliance? Hahahaha!" My ruthless ridicule hit Xiao Feng's heart.

"Wei Qing! I accidentally fell into your trap at that time, but you don't have such good luck now! You are dead this time! You should go back to your poor life!" Xiao Feng said contemptuously.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you learn your lesson? Your father begged me to reserve a spot for you, and now you've snatched your brother's spot. Aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm the eldest brother, I deserve this position!"

"You're still the same! You're a hopeless case! You all look down on me and tell me to go back to my poor class! Why? Because you're scared! My abilities are too strong, I can destroy everything you have at any time! Only petty people get jealous of others' abilities!"

"Stop being stubborn. If you publicly apologize to us now, maybe we can give you a senior management position!" Shen Shaopeng said proudly.

"Shen Shaopeng! Do you still remember Uncle Zheng? The Uncle Zheng who was your stepfather's driver! The Uncle Zheng who fell into the sea for some unknown reason and disappeared!"

When I mentioned this name, Shen Shaopeng's face darkened. "What do you know?"

"Guess where Uncle Zheng is now?" I looked at Shen Shaopeng with a very provocative look, and he didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

"Whatever you want can be discussed!" Fan Xiaomeng began to soften.

"Keep guessing what I want? And Xiao Feng, are your two younger brothers at home?"

Xiao Feng was confused, "What does it have to do with me if they're not at home?"

"Old man Cheng! Guess where Cheng Jun is now? And guess why Li Zhanwen is the only one left by my side? Where did Xiao Yuan and the others go?"

The more Shen Shaopeng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His expression became increasingly grim. He pulled Fan Xiaomeng away, and then they all looked at each other and went home.

"Aqing, what did you mean just now?" Mother Shen also didn't understand what I meant.

"It's okay! We should still be good people! Shen Shaopeng and his mother are like grasshoppers in autumn, they won't be able to jump for a few more days!" I smiled and continued to push the stroller while shopping.
