Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

After graduation, we first returned to our hometown. It had been almost two months since I'd seen my babies; I missed them so much! They were growing so fast, and they felt heavier to hold than when we left. We stayed in our hometown for a week, then left the kids there and headed to Hegang to reunite with Zheng Lan and the others.

Arriving in Hegang, we first visited the villa Xiao Yuan had given us. It was quite nice! The villa was located on a hillside, with a view of the sea from the upper floors and a courtyard. The surroundings were all very nice. Since we had our own place, Zheng Lan and the others didn't have to stay in a hotel and could just stay in the villa with us. After a tiring first day, we headed to Fu Ji Restaurant, Hegang's best restaurant, for dinner.

As we walked into the restaurant, I heard someone calling me. I turned around and saw, uh! It was someone I really didn't want to meet - Shen Junhui!

"Wei Qing, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Hegang? I came to pick you up!" Shen Junhui trotted over to us, "What are these?"

"We are Wei Qing's friends," Zheng Lan spoke first.

"You are Shen Junhui!" Liu Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

"How did you know? Did Wei Qing tell you about me?"

"Yes! But none of them are good things!" Hu Ning replied coldly.

"There must be a misunderstanding here!" Shen Junhui replied with a smile.

"We have something else to do, let's go first!" Rong Zixuan pulled me to the other side, but my other hand was grabbed by Shen Junhui. Rong Zixuan turned around, grabbed Shen Junhui's collar angrily and yelled, "Let go!"

Shen Junhui also remained calm, "No!"

I tried to pry Shen Junhui's hands apart, but it was no use. At this time, Zheng Lan stepped hard on Shen Junhui's foot. Shen Junhui suddenly let go and jumped around in pain, holding his foot.

He stopped and asked Zheng Lan with a painful look on his face, "Beauty! Did I offend you? You were too harsh!"

Zheng Lan crossed his arms and said coldly, "You didn't offend me, but you did offend my friend! You actually dared to be rude to my friend in broad daylight, and in front of so many of us. Don't you deserve a beating?"

Shen Junhui sneered, "Ha! This is my territory. You are acting wildly on my territory. Are you sure?"

Zheng Lan also sneered, "Tsk, so what? You still want to kill me? Do you think Hegang is still in the 90s?"

Shen Junhui put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, "Apologize to me! This matter is over! Otherwise, just wait for me!"

Zheng Lan still looked fearless, "I'll wait and see what you can do to me!"

This was probably the first time Shen Junhui had encountered someone who contradicted him so much. He quickly walked towards Zheng Lan. I wanted to go over and stop him, but I heard someone shouting Shen Junhui's name. We looked back and saw a woman in a cheongsam, carrying a bag, and with her hair in a bun walking towards us.

"Ahui! What are you doing again?" The woman scolded Shen Junhui. Seeing how cowardly Shen Junhui looked now, this should be his mother or an elder.

"I didn't, Mom!"

I guessed it right. It was Shen Junhui's mother. She is indeed a wealthy lady. She has maintained herself so well. I can't believe that she has a son as old as Shen Junhui.

"Oh, Mommy! Let me introduce you. This is my cousin's partner, the one who helped him grow his company and get it listed!" Shen Junhui introduced me to his mother, then turned around and introduced his mother to me. "Wei Qing, this is my mother, and also my cousin Xiao Yuan's aunt."

I didn't know how to greet him for a moment, so I stretched out my hand out of habit. Fortunately, the other person also stretched out his hand to shake hands.

"Hello Hello!"

She smiled and nodded, "Hello! Ah Hui and Ah Yuan both told me about you. Now that I see you, I know they weren't exaggerating at all!"

"They didn't say anything bad about me!" I don't know why I said this.

"Of course not, they all admire your talent!" She smiled so elegantly.

I pulled Rong Zixuan, "This is Rong Zixuan, one of Xiao Yuan and I's partners. We are also husband and wife!"

She didn't seem surprised, but rather calm, as if she'd known all along. I also introduced Zheng Lan and the others to her one by one, and she kept smiling from beginning to end. As expected of a wealthy family, their etiquette was so well-mannered, and it was very comfortable to be around them. But how could such an elegant lady raise a dandy like Shen Junhui? It's truly puzzling!

"Are you going to eat?" she asked with a smile.

"Then let's go together! We've booked a private room. It's just the two of us, mother and son. It'll be more lively if you come with more people. I like lively atmosphere."

"That's not good! How can we have the nerve to eat for free?" I politely refused.

"Don't be polite with me. You and A Yuan have run the company so well. It's you who helped him achieve success step by step. If it weren't for you, he might still be a nobody! I'll treat you to this meal!" She said with a smile, holding my hand.

"He and I have achieved success together. There is no question of who helps whom," I answered modestly.

"You are too modest! Before A Yuan met you, he was not good at anything and lost a lot of money. His father scolded him as a prodigal son every day. But after meeting you, his company is doing well and the profits he earns have caught up with his father. Now he tops the list of the richest people under 40 in our Hegang! You are his benefactor! You must invite me, don't be polite with me!" After saying that, she pulled me forward, and I had no choice but to go with her.

We walked into the private room and she pulled me to sit down. Shen Junhui wanted to sit next to me, but Rong Zixuan got there first. Rong Zixuan looked at him as if he wanted to eat him up. She handed us the menu and asked us to order a few new dishes.

"Please take a look at what you want to order. Originally there were only two of us, but now there are more people and it may not be enough. Please order something else."

We looked at each other in bewilderment at the menu, as we had not expected this scene, it was too awkward and we did not know how to break the deadlock. We could only bite the bullet and order the dishes again. After ordering, we looked around, kept drinking water or studying the tableware, constantly finding things to do to ease the awkwardness.

"How old are you this year?" Shen Junhui's mother looked at me and asked.

"22"

"Then you are three years older than Ah Hui!"

"Uh, yes!" After saying that, I picked up the water cup in front of me and took a sip of water to ease the embarrassment.

"Auntie, your Shen Junhui is a little rude to Wei Qing. You have to do something about it!" Zheng Lan said something shameful. It was not appropriate to blame someone else's son in this situation.

"Oh! What did he do?" He smiled and turned to look at Shen Junhui, but Shen Junhui did not dare to make eye contact with her.

"He's harassing a married woman!"

"What exactly did he do?" She smiled at Shen Junhui again, but there was a knife hidden in her smile.

"Just now he actually pulled someone's wife's hand in front of Rong Zixuan. Before, when they came to Hegang, Wei Qing clearly said that she had a boyfriend, but he still pursued her relentlessly and even had a fight with Rong Zixuan. Later, when he went back, he would send flowers to harass Wei Qing from time to time. What's even more outrageous is that he was playing with multiple women at the same time, provoking Wei Qing and other women, causing Wei Qing to be harassed by other women as well. This has seriously affected her life!" Every word Zheng Lan said made my scalp numb. Rich families should be very concerned about their reputation. Saying it in front of so many people, I was really afraid that they would turn against us and leave, and make things difficult for us later.

"Oh! So that's how it is! His father and I punished him for the fight, but he still refused to change. It seems I made the right choice by treating you to this meal! Wei Qing, consider this meal my apology on your behalf for my disappointing son! I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over!"

"I only have Ah Hui as my son, so I spoiled him a little since he was young, which led to his developing an arrogant and conceited personality. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble!"

"Auntie, can I call you that?" Zheng Lan asked.

"Of course! I'm over fifty!"

"Wow! I can't tell! You look like you're in your thirties!" Zheng Lan continued.

"Don't praise me like that, I'll be embarrassed!"

"Really? I'm not lying to you! But you still have to take care of Shen Junhui! Wei Qing is married and has children, so Shen Junhui will have to avoid suspicion in the future. He doesn't want fame, but Wei Qing does!"

"Of course, of course!" After saying that, he glanced at Shen Junhui.

The waiter arrived just in time to serve the food, allowing us to move on from the topic of complaining about Shen Junhui to the meal. Throughout the meal, Shen Junhui's mother remained as elegant as ever, taking everyone's feelings into consideration. I breathed a sigh of relief as I finished the meal. I'd originally thought we were just out for a meal, but I didn't expect to meet such a wealthy woman, which made us feel a little awkward.

Back at our house, we collapsed on the sofa, exhausted.

Zheng Lan stood up and said to Rong Zixuan, "Rong Zixuan, you have to keep a close eye on Wei Qing!"

Rong Zixuan was confused, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you see that rich woman just now?"

"So what! Wei Qing is my wife! She can't help her son snatch her away by force!"

"She won't rob me. She should be a sensible person."

"Then what are you asking me to be careful about?"

"Regarding the Zhu Yinyin incident, I always thought you were an unreliable person."

"Zhu Yinyin, Zhu Yinyin, it's Zhu Yinyin again. Why are you bringing up this old grudge again? And Zhu Yinyin doesn't like me!"

"Yeah, then we don't know whether you like her or not! If another Wang Yinyin, Zhang Yinyin, or Liu Yinyin appears in the future, and you make the same mistake again, you're done! Even the gods can't save you."

"You're always complaining about us, saying we can't do this or that, but we're already married with kids! We're so happy!"

"Tsk! What era is this? You can get divorced even after getting married!"

"Why do you always curse us? You can't stand us getting along well, right?"

"Who made you have a stain? If something like that happens once, it will happen again. I guarantee it! If you make the same mistake again, Shen Junhui will replace you!"

"Bah! He just treated me to a meal and you keep saying good things for him! I'll treat you to a few more meals next time."

"I'm not trying to scare you. You saw her mother today. She's a wealthy lady, elegant and generous! She's also sensible. I've tried to test her, and she's not the type to mind a divorce! And here's the key point! She likes Wei Qing very much! If your relationship with Wei Qing has problems, and Shen Junhui strikes again, his mother will definitely be his godly assist!"

"Just keep blowing our trumpet! You're always badmouthing us!"

"Then we'll see!"

"I'm telling you, are you jealous of my wife? You're always trying to drive a wedge between us! What are you thinking?"

"I told you! There are only zero and countless times of cheating!"

"I didn't cheat!"

"Emotional infidelity counts!"

"I won't talk to you anymore." Rong Zixuan turned around and went upstairs angrily.

"Lan'er, don't say this in front of Rongzi anymore. Men have to save face." I was persuading Zheng Lan to be more restrained and not to provoke Rong Zixuan.

"Qing'er, please don't be so soft-hearted, okay? But after seeing that Shen Junhui today, I realized he's really a dandy boy. It's made me like Rong Zixuan more."

"Then why do you always speak ill of Rong Zixuan?" Liu Xiu said weakly while lying on the sofa.

"Does he need me to say bad things about him? He's already unlucky! But Qing'er, Shen Junhui's mother is actually a pretty good person!"

"No way! You spoke ill of Rong Zixuan, were not optimistic about Shen Junhui, and now you are targeting Shen Junhui's mother?" Hu Ning sat up with a start.

"What I mean is that if he is with Shen Junhui, his mother doesn't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"Rong Zixuan doesn't need to consider it either."

“This is different!”

"Lan'er! Don't worry about it. I will keep an eye on Rong Zixuan and won't let him make the same mistake again! Don't worry," I said confidently to Zheng Lan.

"Don't be too confident! The biggest problem between you and Rong Zixuan isn't you, it's him. He's a variable! Today I've finally seen that Mother Shen really likes you, but it's a liking with a purpose!"

"What's the purpose!" Hu Ning asked curiously.

"Shen Junhui is a rich second-generation, but look at his ugly appearance. Is he the man who can protect his empire? So he needs a good wife! Who is the best candidate? Qing'er!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't talk nonsense. The rich families all marry each other. With the strong joining together, are you still afraid of not being able to protect your property?"

"Qing'er, you don't understand this! If it's a marriage between wealthy families, it's fine if they're evenly matched. But if the other party is stronger than you, then if there's a divorce in the future, they'll definitely divide the property. This will only severely damage the family's vitality and even lead to its decline! If they're weaker than you, why not choose someone who's capable but has no background? If there's a divorce, at most you'll just divide some property, and without a background, it won't cause any trouble. Then you can train the next generation well. This is the lowest risk!"

"How come this is so similar to what that female chaebol in South Korea did? She found a bodyguard with no background, gave him some money and let him go, and then she raised her own children well," Hu Ning said thoughtfully.

"Lan'er, how come you know everything?" Liu Xiu sat up and asked.

"My parents are in business. Since I was little, they often took me to various social events. When I got home, they would also analyze various intricacies for me, so I may be a little more knowledgeable than you in this kind of thing."

"Oh!" Liu Xiu nodded in sudden realization. "Then Qing'er can't do that either. What if they kick Qing'er out of the house? That would be a hell of a place to be in! Don't jump in!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I am Rong Zixuan's wife now, not the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. What are you analyzing so clearly? Lan'er, I really suggest that you write a novel," I said helplessly.

"I'm just analyzing! Analyzing the risks involved. I wouldn't be willing to analyze that for the average person!"

"Yes, yes, yes! But it's getting late now, let's talk another day! Everyone is tired today, go and rest!"

Afterwards, everyone went back to their rooms to tidy up. Hegang is really a place of trouble. Unexpected things always happen every time you come here!
