Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Qing'er, you're on TV!" Liu Xiu said to me, pointing at the TV.

The TV report was about Li Zhanwen having a night out with a mysterious woman! The story went that Li Zhanwen, a wealthy young man who usually doesn't interact with the opposite sex, was actually dating a mysterious woman and even sending her home. And these photos were all taken that day when I had dinner with his brother and sister! Ah! The Hong Kong paparazzi are really good at making things up. Even though it was definitely just Li Zhanwen and me when we entered the house, there were several people there when we were sent back, and they just happened to capture a photo of Li Zhanwen and me together!

"Wow! They say Hong Kong paparazzi are great writers, but now I see they're truly extraordinary!" Hu Ning was stunned by the content of the news. It was so outlandish, they had to make up a story about something that didn't exist.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! This is ridiculous!" Zheng Lan walked over with a glass of milk.

Rong Zixuan had just come down from upstairs and was surprised to see us gathered together, so he came over as well. "What? These paparazzi must be bored!"

"Are you angry?" I asked curiously.

"I'm angry because of their random writing, not because of Li Zhanwen!"

"That's what paparazzi do, they make up stories, otherwise they'd be out of a job."

"But this is defamation! I'm going to sue them!"

"Let them be!"

"No way! Qing'er, look." Hu Ning pulled me in front of the TV.

The TV is now showing a clip of an entertainment reporter interviewing Li Zhanwen’s mother.

Entertainment reporter: Mrs. Li, what do you think about your youngest son’s relationship?

Mother Li: I don't have any opinions! My son is very outstanding, so it's normal for women to want to throw themselves at him!

Entertainment reporter: Would you agree with your son dating this girl?

Mother Li: Dating is fine, but marriage is impossible!

Entertainment reporter: Why?

Mother Li: We are a big family and we won’t let any random woman in!

Entertainment reporter: As far as we know, your son has been pursuing this girl for a long time, but has never succeeded!

Mother Li: Some women love playing hard to get to keep men devoted to them. How could my son, who is so outstanding, be rejected? It must be that woman's trick! She deliberately kept my son in suspense!

Entertainment reporter: We received the latest news that this girl is already married, but your son is still pursuing her. It seems that he is deeply in love with her!

Mother Li: What? Already married? This shameless woman seduces my son even after getting married. How shameless!

Entertainment reporter: We have also photographed this girl with Shen Junhui. It seems that this girl is very charming!

Mother Li: What is charm? That's called seduction, flirting! A married woman seducing other men would be put in a pig cage in the old days!

Entertainment reporter: That’s not the case. Maybe this girl is preparing for a divorce, or Li Zhanwen is becoming a mistress?

Mother Li: If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. How could my son become a mistress? He has so many women chasing him! He doesn't have anything he wants, but he has to find a slut! (After saying this, he turns and leaves angrily)

"It seems that Li Zhanwen's mother is not a good person!" Liu Xiu said with emotion.

"That person doesn't look easy to get along with, he's quite mean!" Hu Ning continued.

"It seems like you three are tied!" Zheng Lan looked at Rong Zixuan.

"What do you want to analyze? Love expert!" Rong Zixuan crossed his arms and looked at her helplessly with a smile.

"You, Rong Zixuan!"

"Yeah!" Rong Zixuan also nodded in agreement.

"Your parents are both dead. I'm sorry if I offended you. Let me apologize first!"

"It's okay!" Rong Zixuan said lightly.

"So, being with you, Qing'er won't have to worry about the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! But you're unstable and easily shaken! As for Shen Junhui, he's a playboy, but he's okay with Qing'er. His mother is his biggest trump card! His mother can calm him down. Li Zhanwen himself is very reliable, but his mother is an unstable factor, and his mother will react against him. He might even be a mama's boy!"

"I also suspect that he is. Look how much his mother dotes on him!" Hu Ning also agreed with Zheng Lan's opinion.

"But his mother seems to be quite old, not as young as Shen Junhui's mother," Liu Xiu said as he sat down and crossed his legs.

"Of course. Li Zhanwen ranks sixth, and he has five older brothers and sisters in front of him. His eldest brother should be in his forties, and his mother is at least sixty years old," Zheng Lan continued after drinking a sip of milk.

"Li Zhanwen has so many brothers and sisters?" Rong Zixuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, seven!"

"But I am an only child!" Rong Zixuan looked at Zheng Lan complacently.

"Shen Junhui is also an only child, and an only child from a wealthy family!" Zheng Lan retorted without any hesitation.

"So what! I'm also a wealthy family now! I'm the head of the Rong family! Rong Zixuan!"

"Huh! Huh! Huh! The leader? The leader who plays with cars all day long?"

"What's wrong with playing with cars?"

"Playing with things makes you lose your mind!"

"Tsk! You're jealous that I have something to play with, and you can't play!"

I was relieved to see them bickering. Their relationship was finally less tense. Although they were bickering, it was always in jest. A little while later, I got a call from Xu Jing.

"I saw the news. Should we send a lawyer's letter to those entertainment reporters and sue them for defamation?" Xu Jing was still as cold as ever.

"Oh no! That's not necessary! That's what they do for a living!"

"But this will damage your reputation, and with that interview, it's easy for others to think you're a fickle woman."

“Other people’s opinions don’t matter”

"But what if it harms the company's reputation? You're one of the founders of Yuanyuan!"

"It's not that serious!"

"What do you think?"

"Well, as a legal officer, you'll have to handle it when the time comes!"

"You said so!"

"Don't go too far! And ask Xiao Yuan's opinion first!"

"I've asked him, and he said he'll ask you about your situation. If it's harmful to the company, I, as the legal officer, can handle it at my discretion."

"Then let's take a look first! After all, Li Xiaowen and the others were there that day, so they know what's going on."

"Okay, notify me immediately if anything happens!"

"Ok!"

In the afternoon, Li Zhanwen gave an interview, stating that the reports were untrue and asking everyone to stop spreading rumors. He also clarified that our relationship was just ordinary friends. It was a business dinner that day, and his brother and sister were there, and I had friends with me. He also knew my husband, so there was no such thing as a mistress or infidelity! If anyone continues to slander or spread rumors, they will be held accountable!

The incident was resolved, but I had a feeling there would be more trouble ahead! I also felt that Li Zhanwen's mother had a harsh, difficult face, and she was also a rich, arrogant, and contemptuous woman. A wealthy woman of her age would be quite traditional and conservative, especially since she hadn't gotten to the bottom of the matter, putting all the blame on me, accusing me of being shameless and a seductress. It felt a bit like a TV drama about a wealthy family. She would come to talk to me later and force me to "leave" her precious son...

A phone call in the evening confirmed my thoughts. It was Li Zhiwen who called and said he wanted to have afternoon tea with me the next day. Li Zhiwen and I didn’t have much friendship, and at this time, I probably knew that it was Li Zhanwen’s mother who wanted to see me. But I was also quite scared when facing this rich lady. If we quarreled, she is an old lady after all, and I have to respect the elderly and love the young. Think about it, I will suffer the loss anyway, but she will definitely not let it go if I don’t go! I still agreed, but I have to be prepared and not let her bully me! After all, she slandered me without knowing the facts. It’s hard to say whether she will go even further when she sees me in person! I asked Rong Zixuan and others to listen nearby and come to support immediately if there is any movement.

Everything is ready, just wait and see what this rich lady will do tomorrow!
