Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I waited and waited, and finally, I saw this explosive news: "Wealthy Wife Imprisoned for Breaking In!" In just a few minutes, the news had thousands of comments, and the popularity continued to soar. Everyone loves to read about wealthy gossip, especially such explosive news. I was scrolling through the comments, each one more exciting than the last, when a phone call interrupted my enjoyment.

"Wei Qing, is it true? Li Zhanwen's mother is causing trouble for you again?" Xiao Yuan was incredulous.

"The fact that you're asking me this question means you've seen the news. The video is clearly on the news, didn't you watch it?"

"I saw it, but I still can't believe that a pampered rich wife could do such a thing."

"What's the big deal? As people age, their cognition naturally slows down. They always think the world revolves around them. They thought I was a pushover, but I didn't expect to hit a wall."

"Yao Ning's stock price has plummeted. Aren't you going to do something?"

"I've already started, and it's much faster than you can imagine!"

"Wow! I'm really looking forward to what you'll do!"

"Then why don't you take advantage of the chaos to grab a piece of the pie? After all, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will. Why should you let others take advantage of you?"

"Of course, Yaoning's stock price has plummeted now. I'm trying my best to buy back their shares, but they should be saving themselves. I haven't received much."

"Oh! Let's not talk about this for now. I got a call. Judging from the number, it should be from the Li family. We can talk some other time!"

"it is good!"

I looked at the caller ID on my phone. Although I couldn't see the other person's face, I guessed they were very anxious. I answered the call slowly.

"Hello! Who is it?"

"Wei Qing, I'm Li Hewen!"

"Oh, is something wrong?"

"Regarding my mother's matter, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. We agree to the compensation you requested, but can you withdraw the lawsuit?"

"cannot!"

"My mother is already over sixty years old. If she is sentenced, she won't be able to endure life in prison! Can you please let her go for once for my sake or A-Zhan's?"

"Let her go once? I've let her go many times! She's been calling us frequently to harass us lately, you know that! But have you done anything about it? If you don't, let the police handle it!"

"As her children, we have tried to persuade her, but she is very stubborn and even paranoid. Once she decides on something, she will do it, no matter what. We have no choice!"

"Since you can't do anything about her, have you apologized to me or tried to comfort me behind her back? No! You allowed your mother to hurt me at will and ignored the pain I suffered. Now you're apologizing only to prevent me from appealing and to prevent your mother from facing legal sanctions! How hypocritical!"

"If it helps you vent your anger, you can curse me all you want, I'll accept it. But as a child, I really can't bear to see my sixty-year-old mother suffer in prison! Feel free to ask for compensation, we'll accept it!"

"I'm not short of money! What I lack is justice! Your mother has been arrogant and lawless for too long. It's time for her to suffer!"

"I can understand that you want to vent your anger, but have you ever considered A-Zhan? That's his mother too! If you do this, have you considered your future with him?"

"What's there to consider later? He and I are just ordinary friends. It doesn't matter if we break up! Besides, you know what your mother did to him, don't you? Li Zhanwen was wandering penniless in the snowy night. Is this something a mother could do? As a mother, your mother is also very derelict in her duty!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's all my mother's fault! But she is really old and can't go to jail!" Li Hewen was very anxious.

"Old? I can't tell! She was so energetic when she splashed water on me and hit me with fruits! You can't tell that she is an old lady in her sixties! And when she was commanding those bodyguards to rummage through my house, she was like a general commanding soldiers, so majestic!" I was mocking Li Hewen.

"Give me some conditions. What exactly do you have to do to let my mother go?" Li Hewen said helplessly.

"Conditions? Do you have any conditions or reasons that I can't refuse?"

"We will do our best to satisfy whatever you want!"

"I got what I wanted through my own efforts, I don't need you to give it to me! That's it, I'm still busy!" I hung up the phone ruthlessly, and I didn't answer any of his calls afterwards.

This explosive news has been trending all day, especially in Hong Kong, where it's practically known to everyone. Although the Yao Ning Group has tried hard to tone down the hype, if they can tone it down, I can also increase it. Moreover, I've noticed that before I've even begun to act, someone else has already done it for me. The business world is like a battlefield. If you give someone an opportunity to exploit, how can they let it go?

I expected Li Zhanwen to visit me in the evening.

"Wei Qing!" Li Zhanwen spoke at a loss and uncomfortably.

"I know what you want to say!"

"That……"

"No!" I refused decisively.

"But my mother is an old lady in her sixties after all!"

"Old woman? When she brought a group of strong bodyguards to bully my wife and children while I was away, she didn't think of herself as an old woman!" Rong Zixuan shouted angrily.

"She might be anxious because I'm avoiding her," Li Zhanwen rubbed his hands nervously.

"That has nothing to do with us. I only know that the bodyguards your mother brought with her rummaged through my house! What does this look like? It's like a house raid! Are you police officers? Do you have a search warrant? You're just rummaging through my house! This is an insult! This is humiliating us! It's unforgivable! Your mother must face legal sanctions!"

Li Zhanwen suddenly knelt in front of us, crying and saying sincerely, "I beg you, please, no matter how wrong she is, she is still my mother, the one who gave me life. I can't just watch her suffer in a foreign country like this. She is really old and can't stand it!"

I signaled Rong Zixuan to pull Li Zhanwen up, but Li Zhanwen refused to get up.

"Aren't you rich? Can't you settle this little thing?" Rong Zixuan looked at Li Zhanwen sarcastically.

"But money isn't everything, and my mom is definitely at fault in this matter. You have surveillance footage as evidence, and it's irrefutable! We can't overturn this evidence! The most important thing is that you're the one suing us. I know what you're capable of; you always surprise us. We're not sure!"

"Why bother?! Before anything happened, everyone watched me get bullied. Now that I'm legitimately defending my rights, everyone comes to tell me she's old and should be let go! There's even some people using moral blackmail, saying we should respect the elderly and love the young! Why should I bear all this alone? Am I that worthless? Do I deserve this?"

"After this incident, we will definitely persuade her not to bother you again. We will withdraw from your life and will no longer appear in front of you!"

"What about the harm we suffered? Just write it off? Isn't that ridiculous? And your mother is a lunatic! She won't listen to anyone. My wife has said many times that it has nothing to do with you, but your mother lives in her own world and is convinced that my wife seduced you! It's a heinous crime!" Rong Zixuan retorted to Li Zhanwen.

Li Zhanwen cried like a baby, but I still didn't soften my heart and agreed to reconcile. In the end, Li Zhanwen left dejectedly.

"Wife! It's so satisfying! Why didn't they think about this day when they bullied us?"

"Let this matter continue to ferment. The bigger it gets, the better it is for us!"
