[Return of the Queen]

[Episode 4]

Kid,

I'll give you one more chance.

Look me in the eyes

and repeat

what you just said.

What do you want to hear...

sister?

Who are you calling "sister"?

Say it a few more times.

Let me hear it.

Wasn't that what you taught me

in the study that day?

I taught you,

and you learned it well?

I didn't expect you

to be such a good boy.

Too bad.

In this lifetime,

I will always be a Ye,

never a Lu.

Lu Siyue

is your dear sister.

As for you and me...

Stay away from me.

Ye Haimeng!

Have you forgotten

all the warnings I gave you?

I told you long ago that

if you dared to approach my son again...

Haimeng.

You don't remember me?

No, that's not it.

I understand

that this situation is

quite difficult for you.

Although

you and Sinan

used to call me "Dad,"

Sinan is

no longer with us.

If you're willing,

you can still call me

Uncle Lu, like you did

when your father and I worked together

back then.

Please, sit.

A few days ago,

they told me you were back.

I couldn't believe it at first.

After all, it's been 3 years,

and you've been completely out of touch.

I sent people everywhere to look for you,

but they found nothing.

I thought I would

never see you again in this lifetime.

Even now,

I often recall

the first time Sinan brought you

to meet me at the hotel.

[Gan Jiang 12]

Sinan.

[Gan Jiang 12]

What's wrong?

I'm a bit scared.

I feel uneasy about this.

[Gan Jiang 12]

What are you afraid of?

What if

your father doesn't like me

and disapproves

of our relationship?

[Gan Jiang 12]

How could that be?

My dad and your father are business partners.

He's watched you grow up.

And you're sensible and gentle.

He couldn't ask for a better daughter-in-law.

[Gan Jiang 12]

Relax.

You don't need to worry about anything else.

Just trust me.

Let's go.

Dad.

I've brought her with me.

Hello, Uncle Lu.

Sinan,

no wonder you've turned down

all the blind dates

Auntie Du set up for you.

Turns out

you've secretly fallen for Haimeng all along.

Dad,

please stop talking about blind dates.

If Auntie Du knew

that the girl you love is

the only daughter of the Ye family,

she wouldn't set up any blind dates for you.

She would be pushing you two

to get married right away.

Dad.

Haimeng,

I hope you don't mind

joining our Lu family.

It's such a tragedy that...

my poor son

is gone.

Haimeng,

for the past 3 years,

where have you been,

and what have you been doing?

Why, for 3 whole years,

did you not contact us?

During these 3 years,

I narrowly escaped death time and again.

It's all thanks to Sinan

that I'm alive today.

Once I sort everything out

between him and me

and between the Ye family and the Lu family,

I will find an appropriate public occasion

to reveal everything that happened

in these 3 years.

Okay.

Since you don't want to talk about it,

I won't force you.

As an elder of the Lu family,

I cannot mistreat you.

This Cloud Manor

was originally purchased by both our families

as a wedding home

for you and Sinan.

Give me a few weeks.

I'll have them clean

the manor until it's spotless

and hand it over to you.

I'll take everyone in my family

and move to the villa in the suburbs.

As for Mare Nubium...

when

such a big incident happened

to you and Sinan back then,

I took it upon myself

to have Jiang Lin and Siyue

manage it on your behalf.

Now that you're back,

I'll have them hand it all over to you

as soon as possible.

Are you really going to

return Mare Nubium to me?

It must be.

Because this company

was your parents'

life's work,

wasn't it?

If it weren't for the huge incident

that happened to you and Sinan back then,

our two families—the Ye and Lu families—

should have formed

a powerful alliance.

Our position in the business world

would be

much stronger today.

If you really can arrange

to return Mare Nubium and Cloud Manor

to me,

I'll be...

eternally grateful.

What are you saying, silly child?

We should be

the ones apologizing to you.

Now, if anything happens,

or anyone dares to make things difficult

for you in this family,

just tell me.

As long as I'm here,

I promise you won't suffer

even the slightest grievance.

In 2 days,

it'll be my 60th birthday.

I've been thinking of

hosting

a family banquet here.

During the banquet,

you can also make an announcement

about Sinan

to everyone.

After the banquet,

we'll return everything

that rightfully belongs to you.

Having second thoughts?

No.

I just feel that something's off.

Don't let a small gesture of kindness

fool you into trusting someone

who has never revealed his cards.

In business,

Lu Changdong and my father worked together

for over a decade.

When profit is at stake,

you choose to believe in human nature?

Have you found anything about Tianyang?

After that car accident last time,

they must have noticed

our activities.

We need to rescue my mother

before we alert them.

Tonight,

many people will attend Lu Changdong's

60th birthday banquet.

My second uncle's family

will also be there.

If I see them,

I'll ask about the shares

they've been holding on my mom's behalf.

We've found information

about Tianyang.

What?

It turns out

what's on the note isn't "Tianyang"

but "Yang Tian."

What do you mean?

There's a large

retirement community in the suburbs.

Its official name

is "Yi Yang Tian Nian."

We traced through layers of ownership and shell companies

and finally found

a nominee shareholder.

She's the wife of

a Changlu Group board member.

A retirement community?

Changlu Group's people hold shares in it?

It's common practice

for hidden shareholders to use their wives as proxy holders.

Plus, there are multiple layers

and changes in corporate equity structures.

And Changlu Capital Group

is a company that started in real estate.

All that evidence

clearly proves

that the retirement community

is one of the businesses

owned by Changlu Group.

And then?

Does that mean...

Within that community,

there's a very high-end,

very secretive medical center.

It means that after your accident,

your mother has very likely been

hidden in

that medical center.

Notify Tan Xin

to immediately dig up all information

about the shareholders

and actual controllers behind that medical center

and investigate Changlu Group thoroughly.

By any means necessary,

get the list

of all patients—

age, blood type,

symptoms, medical conditions— and cross-check everything.

We must

find my mother.

Haimeng.

It's been too long.

We saw each other

at my funeral that day.

But with everything happening that day,

I really didn't have time

to come over and talk to you.

Later, I heard

you'd moved in here.

I actually came once,

but I still didn't get to see you.

I know.

Ke told me about it.

So that's what you call her.

Well...

is she a new friend of yours?

I remember when we were little,

I never

saw her around you.

How did you two meet?

Or...

You're interested in her?

No.

I'm just

a little curious about

the people around you.

Ye Bochen.

You're my cousin.

We grew up together.

I know exactly

what's on your mind.

If you really knew

what I was thinking,

then you wouldn't have married

Lu Sinan.

I remember warning you.

The Lu family is complicated—

parents and siblings

all have their own grudges.

Behind Changlu Group,

there's a great deal of capital—

various investors,

shareholders,

and board members,

all tangled in interests.

It's much harder to control than

our Ye family and Mare Nubium.

But do you remember

what you told me back then?

I forgot.

You said

you believed

Sinan truly loved you.

Cousin,

don't you think

what you're saying right now

is rather offensive?

On the contrary, I think

I should have had

this conversation with you 3 years ago.

Then you wouldn't have experienced

such a terrible accident

and suffered so much.

I know.

Whether it was back then or now,

in such a complex situation

with our family

and the Lu family,

you've always been

the one who truly cared about me.

But I couldn't see you,

because I was afraid that once I saw you,

I'd lose my courage to fight.

Not everyone

in this world is like you—

able to hide their wounds

and forgive everyone,

even after being hurt

and betrayed.

Not everyone

deserves forgiveness.

Not everything

is worth tolerating.

I must take back

everything that belongs to me.

As for you...

Whether you choose to be my friend or my enemy,

let me know

once you've decided,

Haimeng.

Where are you going?

Tonight,

I might...

Tonight is

my 60th birthday banquet.

You're not going to tell me

that you're going out now

to meet someone

more important than me, are you?

I...

I want to formally

introduce you to

the shareholders and board members

of Changlu Group,

who used to work

with your parents.

I hope

our Changlu and your Mare Nubium

can still maintain

the same strong cooperation

as

when your parents were here.

Tonight,

you can't go anywhere.

The board members of Changlu Capital...

Maybe

I can get some clues

about Mom from them.

Today

is my 60th birthday.

It's also

my first time back

after half a year of recuperation.

All of you here

are my family

and my relatives.

Everyone, please don't be reserved

or stand on ceremony.

In the future,

I'll still need

all of your support.

Come on.

Let's raise our glasses.

Chairman, with you here at Changlu,

we're just

following your lead.

-Yes. -Yes.

These past few years, Mare Nubium

has owed a lot to Changlu Group.

With Chairman Lu's

help and support,

we've achieved...

Director Xia is a straightforward person.

Every word he speaks

is honest and sincere.

Mare Nubium has gone through ups and downs in recent years,

and it's all thanks to

the unwavering support of Changlu Group.

My daughter Siyue

and son-in-law Jiang Lin

are only acting as managers,

but

they work diligently and professionally every day,

which has prevented Mare Nubium

from having any major problems.

I just don't know

whether Mare Nubium can remain

as strong as it is today

once it's divided

according to shareholding.

Mare Nubium

will never be divided.

Half of the group's shares

belong to Sinan.

And your second uncle

holds another portion.

No matter who holds the shares,

Mare Nubium

will never be divided.

I'd like to see who dares to

try to split up my Mare Nubium.

You...

What are you doing?

Today is my 60th birthday banquet.

Over such a trivial matter,

you have to make a scene in public?

Don't let the shareholders

laugh at our two families.

Dad,

on behalf of Mom, Jiang Lin,

and also

my immature

and disappointing brother,

I wish you, Dad,

boundless fortune

and good health.

Okay.

Quite a few people came today,

but why do I feel...

Jiang Lin isn't here.

From our family, only Ye Bochen came.

Uncle Yuezhi and his wife aren't here.

[Ke, Jiang Lin and Ye Bochen didn't attend the family banquet!]

[Ke, Jiang Lin and Ye Bochen didn't attend the family banquet!]

[Guan Jie] [Decline] [Answer]

Hey, Jie.

What?

What do you

want to do here?

We won't do anything.

We just want you

[Authorization for Share Transfer]

to sign and seal

this document.

I won't sign it.

I want to see my doctor,

my nurse,

and my daughter.

It's you.

[Luo Yanxin]

[Found your mom.]

[Confirmed she's at Tianyang Care Center.]

Everyone,

tonight

there's another

very important guest

I'd like to reintroduce to you.

She is...

the wife of my late eldest son,

Lu Sinan,

and the only daughter

of Ye Mingzhi,

chairman of Mare Nubium Hotel Group—

Ye Haimeng.

You've probably seen me

on the news.

I am Ye Haimeng,

the only daughter

of the Ye family's Ye Mingzhi

and the CEO

of Mare Nubium Hotel Group.

Haimeng is right.

She was once

the president of Mare Nubium.

But from now on, she will be

the head of our entire Ye family

and

the Mare Nubium Hotel Group.

Dad!

I formally reintroduce

Haimeng to everyone today

because I want to lay a stronger foundation

for cooperation

between our Changlu Group

and Mare Nubium.

Even though Sinan is no longer with us,

the bond

between our two families remains

[Something terrible has happened! Come quickly!]

[Come on! Come on! Come on!]

and our cooperation still stands.

[Something terrible has happened to your mother!]

I have something urgent to handle.

I need to go now.

Haimeng,

tonight is a family dinner...

She left?

The elders are still here, and you're leaving?

She really has no upbringing at all.

Doctor,

the patient in bed 428

has collapsed!

[Yang Tian Recovery and Care Center]

How is her condition now?

The police are on their way.

Let's go upstairs and see.

But Jie just called

and said her condition isn't good.

You might need to prepare yourself mentally.

Who are you?

This is a private community!

You can't enter without an invitation!

Go away!

No entry.

Visiting hours are over.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom...

Mom!

Mom,

Mom.

What happened to my mom?

Please save my mom.

Are you a family member of this patient?

Mom...

Last night, the patient

fell from her bed.

We've done everything we could to save her.

Mom, don't scare me like this.

Mom...

Mom!

Haimeng!

Look!

My tree plaque.

[Haimeng's tree]

I know how important

this tree plaque is to you,

so early this morning,

your father and I came here

and found it for you.

Mom.

Sweetie,

don't worry.

I'll

always stand behind you,

watching over you

and protecting you.

Sweetie.

Why did I lose track of her halfway?

Where is she?

Is she around here?
