Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

After acquiring 10% of Yaoning's shares, we withdrew the lawsuit and declined to collaborate with Li Zhaobang. The Li family affair ended there. However, my reputation had grown, and many headhunters approached me, but I rejected them all, firmly. After everything settled down, we finally settled into a peaceful life. Just as we were about to enjoy a weekend getaway for our family of four, Xiao Yuan's arrival disrupted our plans.

Looking at us carrying our bags, Xiao Yuan asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Rong Zixuan asked.

"I'm afraid this will take up some of your time. You may not be able to go out so soon," Xiao Yuan said as he walked in and sat down.

I asked Aunt Wang to take the two children outside to play first, and then we started chatting in the living room.

"Tell me, what happened?" I asked as I sat down.

"Do you still remember Zero's CEO assistant? Her name is Liu Jingshu. We've been together for a while!"

"Wow, is that the beauty with long legs?" Rong Zixuan asked excitedly from the side. When I glanced at him, he immediately put away his smile.

"Yes, I liked her at first sight. Maybe she liked me too, so we got together very quickly. Although we are separated, I will come to accompany her whenever I am free," Xiao Yuan narrated calmly.

"Are you going to dump her?" Rong Zixuan asked curiously.

"Almost the same, or even more cruel!" Xiao Yuan couldn't bear to continue.

"In the end what happened?"

"Wife, can't you see it? He is going to marry someone else!" Rong Zixuan said loudly.

"Yes, that's it!" Xiao Yuan said with his head down.

"No, you two are doing well, why would you marry someone else?" I was confused.

"This is the marriage my parents had arranged for me a long time ago, but because I've always loved to play around and haven't achieved much, the other party was hesitant. After my career took off in recent years, he gradually relented and agreed, and only recently did we finalize the marriage."

"Was the marriage decided before or after you and Liu Jingshu got together?" I asked eagerly.

"We decided this after we got together," Xiao Yuan said in a low voice guiltily.

"You scumbag! You already have Liu Jingshu, yet you still marry someone else!" I cursed Xiao Yuan.

"I know I'm a scumbag, but I can't refuse the marriage arranged by my parents!" Xiao Yuan was helpless.

"Why can't you say it? Is it illegal to just say you have a girlfriend?" I continued to retort.

"Even if I told them, they would let me solve the problem myself. Anyway, this marriage must be concluded."

"Didn't you leave the Xiao family? Why are you still under the control of your parents?"

"I'm financially independent, but not yet in terms of interests! I can't give up the Xiao family's resources and connections! Even if my relationship with my parents is not good, I still have to do what I have to do!"

"What are you afraid of? Let's face it together!"

"But it's all for a woman..." Xiao Yuan didn't finish his words.

Xiao Yuan's unfinished words instantly ignited my anger. "Not worth it, huh? Then why did you bother to provoke her? Liu Jingshu is Zero's CEO's assistant. She can make a name for herself on her own. Maybe she'll meet someone who truly loves her in the future. But you provoked her, got her, and now you meet a woman who's more beneficial to you, and you abandon her without hesitation! What kind of man are you!"

"I know I'm sorry for her, but I will make it up to her!"

"Do all you rich second-generations like to buy affection with money?"

"We were sincere when we were together, but I didn't expect what happened next."

"Don't you think about the future when you're together?"

"Everything will change in the future, enjoying the present is the most important thing!"

"Scumbag!" I cursed Xiao Yuan again, "Then you told Liu Jingshu that you were getting married but she wasn't the bride?"

"No, so this is why I came to see you today!"

"No, it's fine that you let me clean up the mess at the company, but why do you also want me to clean up your own emotional problems?" I retorted unhappily.

"I'm at my wit's end!"

"No way? You want to go yourself. Relationships are a matter between two people. Why do you want me to get involved? Do you want me to break up with Liu Jingshu on your behalf?"

Xiao Yuan remained silent.

"No, do you really want me to break up on your behalf? No! Liu Jingshu is not my girlfriend, what's the point of me breaking up?" I said excitedly.

"I've already asked her to come here, she should be ready!"

"What? Xiao Yuan, are you still a man? You can't even face the breakup by yourself!"

"I really can't say enough to her, I really love her!"

"You love her, yet you agree to marry another woman? Your love is too cheap!"

"Career and love, I can only choose career first!"

"You've come to this point, how can your parents control you?"

"Although I have achieved some success, I still need the Xiao family for business matters. Besides, the marriage partner my parents found for me is the daughter of the Ryan Group, and the business involved in the Ryan Group is also needed by Yuanyuan!"

"It all comes down to calculation! Your love is full of calculation. No! You don't have love, only exploitation!"

The doorbell interrupted our conversation. "It should be Jingshu. I'll go open the door." Xiao Yuan got up to open the door and brought Liu Jingshu in.

Liu Jingshu greeted us politely and sat down. I felt very embarrassed and sad for the woman in front of me. She fell in love with the wrong person and gave her heart to the wrong person.

"A Yuan said he wanted me to come here to discuss something." Liu Jingshu looked at us, "So what is it?"

Liu Jingshu smiled very sweetly, and I really couldn't bear to hurt her. Even though Xiao Yuan winked at me again and again, I still lowered my head and didn't dare to look at Liu Jingshu.

"Since none of you are saying anything, I'll tell you first! I have a great news to announce!" Liu Jingshu looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile, then touched her belly, "I'm pregnant! Ayuan, you're going to be a father!"

This statement shocked all of us. Xiao Yuan's face was full of complex emotions. I couldn't tell if it was joy or fear. But Liu Jingshu's pregnancy also complicated things. I really couldn't help Xiao Yuan hurt her.

Seeing that Xiao Yuan was not very happy, Liu Jingshu keenly sensed something and asked, "Are you unhappy? You don't want this child?"

"Uh, no, it's just..." Xiao Yuan lowered his head and stammered.

"What happened? Your parents don't agree with us, right?" Liu Jingshu continued to ask.

"Neither"

"Just tell me what it is! I can handle it!"

Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at me, and Liu Jingshu also looked at me. I was at a loss for what to do. I could only avoid their gazes and look around, then picked up my phone and pretended to read the message.

"Wei Qing, can you tell me?"

"Uh, this..." I still couldn't speak.

"Okay, let me do it!" Rong Zixuan suddenly said.

"Xiao Yuan is getting married, so he wants to break up with you!" Rong Zixuan spoke quickly, but Liu Jingshu must have understood because she froze in her place, as if the sky had fallen. The happiness that had originally shone on her face disappeared, and her eyes were dim.

The four of us were silent for a long time.

"What about our child?" Liu Jingshu spoke slowly.

"This child was born illegitimate, so..." Xiao Yuan said in a low voice.

"So you don't want him?"

Xiao Yuan remained silent.

"This is our child!" Liu Jingshu shouted.

"I know! But he shouldn't have come into this world!"

"What right do you have to not allow him to come into this world?"

"You know very well how this child came about!" Xiao Yuan was very determined.

"Do you suspect that I did something?" Liu Jingshu was stunned.

"Isn't it? I always take precautions!" Xiao Yuan said with a grim face.

"But I didn't!" Liu Jingshu retorted.

"Whether there is one or not, we can't have this child!" Xiao Yuan was even more determined.

Liu Jingshu stared blankly at the person in front of her, unable to believe that Xiao Yuan would say that.

I didn't know what to say, so I could only remain silent. Then the doorbell rang again, and Aunt Wu went to open the door, bringing in a tall woman dressed very elegantly. Xiao Yuan saw her and immediately called her over. She came over to greet him enthusiastically, and after sitting down next to him, she hugged him very clingily, which made Liu Jingshu very angry.

"Who are you? How can you hug someone so casually?" Liu Jingshu pried the woman's hand away from Xiao Yuan.

"I'm not someone else! I'm A Yuan's fiancée, Zhao Xinyu!" Then she pulled out a red invitation from her bag and handed it to us, "You must be Rong Zixuan and his wife! This is our wedding invitation, remember to come when the time comes!"

Rong Zixuan took the invitation and said awkwardly, "Of course, of course!"

Rong Zixuan and I have never seen this situation before, so we don’t know what to say and can only look at Xiao Yuan.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

This made me even more confused. Were the previous ones just warm-ups? Was this the official start?

"This is Zhao Xinyu, my fiancée! This is the Liu Jingshu I told you about!" These words also shocked Rong Zixuan and me. What on earth does Xiao Yuan want to do?

"Do you all know each other's relationship?" I asked cautiously.

"I know, our parents know too! So I came here today to deal with these relationships!" Zhao Xinyu said confidently.

"What do you want!" Liu Jingshu questioned Zhao Xinyu.

"Our parents have discussed several options for you to choose from. One is that you can continue to be with A Yuan, but you cannot have children. The other is that you can give birth to the child, but the child must be returned to the Xiao family. We will give you a sum of money as compensation, and you will never see the child again!"

"I won't choose either of these two! Don't even think about taking my child away!" Liu Jingshu said angrily.

"If you don't want to choose, then Ayuan, please help her choose!" Zhao Xinyu looked at Xiao Yuan firmly, but Xiao Yuan remained indifferent.

"I have a question! Since you all know each other's existence, why don't you just solve it by yourselves? Why drag us into this? Letting me know these complicated things is very polluting to our minds!" I said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Because you are the person Ayuan trusts the most, he is afraid that he can't solve it himself, so he wants you to help."

"You think so highly of me? But I can't do it! I can handle business matters, but love is a matter between two people. The intervention of outsiders will only make things more complicated. Look, isn't it more complicated now that so many people are involved? So you parties involved need to solve it yourselves." I threw the question back to Xiao Yuan.

"Jingshu, we can't have this child! We can still be together after I get married!" This shocked Rong Zixuan and me. We looked at each other and thought, how can rich people play like this?

"So you and I are just playing around? You've never thought about marrying and having children with me, right?"

“I can’t decide my own marriage.”

"So why did you chase me then? You also promised to be with me forever, so what does that mean now?"

"I was so emotional at the time that I said things impulsively that they absolutely don't count!"

"Your words of dishonesty have made our relationship a joke!"

"We've only been together for a few months, it can't be said to be that deep!" Xiao Yuan suddenly became stern.

"It's all my fault that I was blind and chose the wrong person. Don't even think about taking advantage of this child! He is my child!" After saying that, Liu Jingshu stood up and left sadly.

Xiao Yuan wanted to stop it, but finally gave up.

"Wei Qing, do you have any way to convince Jing Shu?"

"Xiao Yuan, I'm your business advisor, not your personal advisor. I can help you with anything. But you have to handle your emotional affairs on your own. Don't run away! Running away won't solve the problem! Besides, you're such a playboy. Breaking up is a daily occurrence for you! Why do you need my help now?"

"This time is different!"

"Why is it different?" Zhao Xinyu asked.

"I really like her!"

"You said you liked someone else in front of your fiancée. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

"Feelings? Why should I consider your feelings? Do you love me?"

"Even if I don't love you, I should still show you the minimum respect. You're disrespecting me as your fiancée by saying you like another woman in front of others!"

"Wei Qing and the others are not outsiders! If you're angry, you can go and ask your dad to cancel this marriage!"

"I'm not! This is playing right into your hands! I won't do it! If you want to talk, go ahead and do it yourself!"

"Why do you want to get married if you don't like each other?" Rong Zixuan was very curious.

"He didn't marry me, but my family. And I didn't marry him, but his family!" Zhao Xinyu answered easily and naturally.

"What do you mean?" Rong Zixuan was even more confused.

"Our marriage is a business one! Business marriages don't take feelings into consideration, they only consider the exchange of interests between the two families!"

"Oh~" Rong Zixuan suddenly realized, "You wealthy people really know how to have fun!"

"I envy you for being able to marry and have children with the person you love, but I've enjoyed the family's resources since I was a child, so naturally I have to make sacrifices for the family."

"Don't you think the sacrifice is a bit too much, sacrificing your lifelong happiness!" I added.

"What does it matter? If I don't marry Xiao Yuan, my parents will find someone else who's suitable. No matter what they choose, it won't be someone I like!"

"Then do you have someone you like?"

"not yet!"

"What if we meet again in the future?"

"Then let's talk about it later! However, Wei Qing, I admire your talent and ability, but now it seems that you have a fatal flaw, that is, you believe too much in love!"

"You don't believe in love because you have never had it!" I retorted.

"No, no, no! We don't need it because we don't believe in it! It's not that we can't get it!"

"Your wealthy families have too many interests involved, so it's normal for your feelings to fade."

"No! We see through the true nature of relationships, so we're unwilling to manage them! If you were an investor, would you invest in a company with no growth potential?"

"But there's no need to worry so much about relationships."

"The human heart is unpredictable! And anyone who says this will end up being deeply hurt!"

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Yuan said to Zhao Xinyu, "We won't disturb you anymore!" Xiao Yuan took Zhao Xinyu away from our house.

"Today's information volume is a bit too much! I need to sort it out! These wealthy families are really messy!" Rong Zixuan said blankly.

"Me too! What a mess! My pure heart has been polluted by this complicated love triangle!" I took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa.

"Are you going out today?" Aunt Yang came over with her two children and asked.

I touched the two children's faces and said, "No, let's go another day. We are a little tired today!"
