Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

It was another snowy day, with a thick layer of snow outside. I wanted to open the door and go out to have a snowball fight with Rong Zixuan, but I was startled by a figure outside when I opened the door happily.

Li Zhanwen stood awkwardly at the door, and seeing us made him even more embarrassed, at a loss for what to do, but he didn't say anything. Looking at his exhausted appearance, I guessed that he was desperate because his mother had cut off his financial support.

"Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?" Rong Zixuan said to me from behind.

Li Zhanwen's face was relieved, and he walked into the house happily, "Thank you!"

Aunt Wu brought the hot milk over. Li Zhanwen held it in both hands and drank the whole cup slowly. "Can I have another cup?"

"Have you had breakfast? If not, let's have breakfast together!" I invited him to have breakfast.

"Then I'm welcome!" He accepted it happily.

Li Zhanwen ate a lot at the dinner table, surprising Rong Zixuan and me. His appetite wasn't typical; he looked like he was trying to eat enough for three days. He also wanted a plate of eggs, but I took the plate away.

"Wife, if he wants to eat, just let him eat!" Rong Zixuan pulled the plate back in front of Li Zhanwen, but I still pulled it back, "If he keeps eating like this, he'll get sick!"

Li Zhanwen put down his chopsticks embarrassedly, "It's okay, I'm full!"

"Are you in trouble?" I looked at him and asked cautiously.

"I'm so sorry! My mother froze all my bank cards, and she also found me a place to live, but she kicked me out. She said that everything I have was given by her, and I can't live without her. I went to find my brothers and sisters and all my friends, but it was obvious that they had all received notices from my mother and were not allowed to help me. She wanted to force me to surrender, but I would not! Although I have been unable to eat one meal a day these days, I am free and can do whatever I want! No one can control my life anymore!" His eyes were tired but full of hope.

"So how have you been spending these days?"

"I went to live with friends. Some of them took me in without telling my mother. But they were eventually discovered, and I had no choice but to leave. I slept in the school library for three nights. But now the weather is getting colder, and I can't sleep more and more. I looked around and found that you are the only people around me who are not affected by my mother's ability. So can you take me in?" Li Zhanwen looked at me pitifully.

"Well, you have to ask the host first." I pushed the question to Rong Zixuan.

"Me? Uh, it's not a problem to take you in, but you know the relationship between us is very awkward!" Rong Zixuan scratched his head and said reluctantly.

"Okay, I know. Can you lend me some money so I can find a place to live?"

"That's no problem!" Rong Zixuan agreed readily.

"But do you have a bank card? It's not convenient for you to carry so much money with you!"

"Yeah, it seems so. My mother has frozen my bank cards. If I apply for another one, she still has the ability to freeze it. Ah! Am I going to live under her shadow all my life?" Li Zhanwen scratched his head in pain.

"Don't be discouraged. Why don't you take Zixuan's secondary card?" I gave Li Zhanwen a plan.

"Why isn't it your supplementary card?" Li Zhanwen looked at me sincerely, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

"What are you doing with my wife's secondary card? My husband and I are kind enough to take you in, but you are setting your sights on my wife! I should have let you freeze to death outside!" Rong Zixuan said dissatisfiedly.

"You have to know that the United States is an open country. If others knew I was holding your supplementary card, they would easily misunderstand me. Plus, you're big and have dark skin. I'm fairer, so it would be even easier for people to misunderstand me!"

I looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, but I held it back. In the end, I covered my mouth and laughed wildly.

Rong Zixuan looked at Li Zhanwen and thought for a moment, "That seems to be the case. Then, won't others think the same thing if you use my wife's supplementary card?"

"It seems so. This will ruin Wei Qing's reputation. I was too simple-minded. Sorry!"

"Your bank card has been frozen. Will the rental company rent to you? They will find out as soon as they do an investigation." Rong Zixuan asked a question we had never thought about, and Li Zhanwen fell silent.

"Xiao Yuan bought a house here, but no one lives there. I'll ask around later, and it shouldn't be a problem for you to move in."

"What if my mother goes to warn Xiao Yuan?"

"Your mother shouldn't have the ability to interfere with Xiao Yuan. Besides, Xiao Yuan is independent and not under his father's control. No one can interfere with Xiao Yuan's choices."

"I envy him so much for being independent!"

"Aren't you the same now?"

"I was kicked out! I was forced to do it! And I was spoiled in the greenhouse. After being kicked out, I have no ability to be independent." Li Zhanwen smiled bitterly.

"Do you want to take a break? You have dark circles under your eyes like a panda!"

"Is it okay? My back and waist ache from lying on the table every day. If I could sleep on the bed now, I would fall asleep right away!" Li Zhanwen said, twisting his shoulders.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Rong Zixuan stood up and took Li Zhanwen to the guest room.

I have to call Xiao Yuan too.

"Xiao Yuan, I want to ask you something."

"you say"

"Is your house in Boston still available?"

“Someone lives there now.”

"All right"

"What's wrong? Do you want to stay?"

"No, Li Zhanwen was kicked out by his mother. He has nowhere to live, and it's not suitable for him to live with me, so I thought of you."

"Oh, Xu Jing also has a house there, you can ask her."

"No, you rich people own houses all over the world, don't you?"

“If you want to buy it, just buy it!”

"Can I have a little gossip about whether the person living in your house is a man or a woman?"

"female!"

"Who is it? Do I know him?"

"Zero's President Assistant"

"You two are together? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

"The day Zixuan proposed to withdraw from Yuanyuan!"

"No, it's only been a few days and you've already caught up with her. How come you're so quick?"

“It’s so charming!”

"Then why don't you make it public?"

"Oh, have you read the plan for the amusement project in the northern part of Dalan Bay? If there are no problems, we can arrange to start construction."

Xiao Yuan was avoiding the topic, and I didn't notice, distracted by his work. We then chatted for a long time about the project, which made me forget why they hadn't made it public. Later, Xu Jing agreed to let Li Zhanwen live in her house, giving him a temporary place to stay and a safe place to spend the winter.
