[Return of the Queen]

[Episode 7]

I just saw Jiang Lin

in the parking lot.

I noticed he was holding

some documents.

They had my brother's name

and photo on them.

If I'm not mistaken,

he's probably filing

a death declaration for my brother.

Ye Haimeng.

Are you alright?

Can you hear me?

I can hear you.

What should we do now?

Jiang Lin's car

has already left.

Lu Siyu.

Can you...

help me?

[Personalization]

What's wrong with you?

Do you even know how to drive?

How could you just swerve and brake like that?

Siyu?

Lin.

What's wrong with you?

I just

came out with you.

But then...

all of a sudden...

my heart...

Your heart?

Why are you sweating so much?

At home,

I've never heard of

you having any heart problems.

It must be competitive anxiety.

Competitive anxiety?

When I was competing overseas,

the pressure was overwhelming.

I haven't had an episode in a long time,

but today,

on my way to the archery club,

it suddenly...

Listen, Siyu.

Do as I say—

pull over to the side of the road,

okay?

Then take a few deep breaths.

Once you feel better,

drive back home,

alright?

Lin.

I don't think I can drive anymore.

Then

I'll call for medical assistance,

so the hospital staff can come pick you up,

okay?

Lin...

Lin...

That won't help.

Anxiety

is a neurosis

that shows up with physical symptoms.

The hospital won't find

any physiological indicators for it.

What should we do then?

Lin,

take me home.

I've got some medicine at home

that I brought back from overseas.

Siyu,

how about this?

You

stay here and rest.

I'll let the others know

and ask Uncle Mo

to come pick you up,

okay?

Lin.

Are you going to

leave me here alone?

I'm not abandoning you.

I really have

something important to do today.

If you must go, fine.

Then

call Lu Siyue

and my mom.

Tell them something happened to me.

Lin.

Siyu,

I really have

some very important business

to attend to today.

If I'm late,

our family will lose

something very valuable.

What if the family loses me instead?

Siyu.

Fine.

I'll call my mom

and Siyue right now

and tell them you're here,

but you have

something important to do.

[Mom]

[Mom]

Siyu,

don't disturb your mom.

Fine.

Siyu,

I'll take you home.

[I'm in the study.]

What's wrong?

Is everything resolved?

Jiang Lin and the others didn't get there first, did they?

What's wrong?

They got it?

Why is your hand swollen again?

You got hurt again today?

Seems we've run out of

the medicine we had before.

I'll go find the doctor

and get some medicine.

No need.

I'm fine.

I don't need a doctor.

You call this "fine"?

I think

you're even worse than the other day.

I got it.

[Death Certificate]

Even though that accident

happened three whole years ago,

and people outside have been making a huge fuss

about it,

I haven't once gone through

his files

in all this time.

I never touched his passport again.

[Name: Lu Sinan]

But today,

[Dead] [Cause of Death: Car Accident]

[Death Certificate]

when I received his death certificate,

I finally felt

that Sinan is truly gone.

My former husband,

[Death Certificate]

your brother...

He's really gone.

How did you

and my brother meet in the first place?

Lu Sinan and I...

Excuse me,

I got this book first.

I'm sorry.

I've already extended the loan period.

[Library Card]

Could you let me borrow it first?

This book is

really important to me.

After I finish the translation work,

I'll return it to you personally.

This book is important to me too.

Not for loan,

except to family and close friends.

One month.

Three weeks.

One week. Just one week.

I've already told you.

Not for loan,

except to family and close friends.

If you insist so much,

are you trying to be my friend

or my family?

[Dictionarium Latino-Sinicum]

[Dictionarium Latino-Sinicum]

So you two met through

a Latin literature dictionary.

No wonder my brother taught you Latin.

That also explains

why my brother valued

these old books so much.

My brother

must have treated you well, right?

I-I don't mean anything by that.

I just noticed

the huge painting hanging in our home.

I heard my brother

had it custom-made for you.

And in my memory,

he was always

such a gentle and caring person.

Actually, I took up archery

because of his encouragement.

Sinan,

it's so heavy.

I can't lift it.

You can do it.

Siyu,

you need to believe in yourself.

You can draw the bow

and hit the bullseye with one shot.

One day, you'll be

the most accomplished among the Lu family.

You'll bring home

the most, the best,

the most dazzling championships.

I can do it.

I'll bring home

the most, the best,

the most dazzling championships.

Brother, I hit it!

I really hit the target!

One day, I'll win championships.

I can bring home many championships

for the Lu family.

Actually, when I was little,

no one in my family

allowed me to learn archery.

Only my brother

firmly supported me all along.

Even my studies abroad

were all thanks to my brother

who constantly helped me.

School,

coach,

accommodation—

everything was personally

arranged by him.

My brother often told me

to bring back more championships,

so that

when people

think of the Lu family,

they wouldn't just think of the Changlu Group,

but also the youngest son of the Lu family

achieving outstanding results

on a bigger, broader stage.

Sinan.

Sinan, look.

I won an excellence award in this competition.

Just an excellence award isn't enough.

From now on, you

must only bring back championships.

This little butterfly

will serve as your motivation.

When you win all the league championships,

only then can you take it off.

All league championships?

I believe you can do it,

right?

My brother has always been gentle and understanding,

yet determined.

Right?

Do you still miss him?

He's gone.

The moment I received the death certificate,

my marriage with Lu Sinan

legally

came to an end.

I have no connection

with the Lu family anymore.

I know.

Between you and our family,

all that remains now is

the matter of dividing the inheritance.

Cloud Manor

and the Mare Nubium Hotel—

they all belong to you.

What did you say?

Even though I've been studying abroad,

I know

that the Mare Nubium Hotel

has always been your parents' property.

My brother only obtained

the shares

as marital property after marrying you.

Even Cloud Manor

was purchased

after your marriage.

My brother is gone now.

They shouldn't use this as an excuse

to forcibly take everything from you.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

I apologize for my family,

for not being able to stop them,

for not being able to do anything

to help you.

Even though I'm part of the Lu family,

aside from the archery club,

I don't have much influence

over anything.

But if there's anything

I can help you with,

please come to me.

If I come to you,

will you really help me?

I will.

These financial reports are unclear

in terms of project details.

There are calculation errors in some items,

and there are even

a few minor reporting mistakes.

Take them back and redo them.

Why did the Engineering Department only submit

this year's maintenance projects?

What about last year's?

And the years before that?

Manager Ye,

please go back

and compile all project records of the Engineering Department

from the past five years

for me.

Five years?

Is there a problem?

Engineering Department's audit reports

are finalized every three years.

The past five years' reports

have already been audited and archived.

It's impossible to retrieve them now

for a re-audit.

Who decided

that archived reports can't be re-examined?

The former Vice President.

Mare Nubium's annual audit

concerns the entire group's income

and expenditures.

With the new president just returning,

a review

is absolutely necessary.

Not just the Engineering Department,

but the entire group's projects

from the past five years

must be re-examined if necessary.

Audit Manager,

re-examine all of the Engineering Department's accounts

from the past ten years.

All of them?

Yes.

Any other questions?

No.

Meeting adjourned.

Are you dissatisfied with the new president

or with me?

I wouldn't dare.

You're the new Vice President of Finance.

I can only follow your instructions.

How could I possibly be dissatisfied?

But your eyes and your expression

seem to tell a different story.

I understand

that Haimeng needs to take control

of the entire Mare Nubium when she returns.

But now,

carrying out such an extensive audit across all departments,

I really don't believe

it serves the company's best interests.

Then may I ask, Manager Ye,

what should Haimeng and I

do at this moment?

If Haimeng wants to reclaim Mare Nubium's shares,

she should address the Lu family properly.

After Sinan's death,

the division of inheritance should either follow

legal procedures,

or the elders of both the Ye and Lu families

should come together,

place the interests

of both families first,

and resolve the matter fairly,

without harming anyone.

As for Mare Nubium,

our focus should be

on maintaining unity and stability,

not letting shareholders

feud and settle personal scores,

which would only create internal turmoil.

Have you ever heard the term

"idealist"?

An idealist

hopes that the world

is pure and just.

They believe

that people in the world

are kind at heart.

But what about reality?

If you don't know how to protect yourself—

or if all you know is protecting only yourself—

then you

and everything you own

will eventually be carved up

and torn apart.

There's nothing wrong with being kind.

But being kind alone—that's the mistake.

This has nothing to do with kindness.

The Ye family and the Lu family

could never achieve

what they want

through ordinary legal means.

Cloud Manor and Mare Nubium

will never return

to Haimeng without a fight.

Even the Ye family

you've humbled yourself to protect

can't possibly

remain peaceful forever.

Those secrets buried underwater

will eventually

come to light one day.

The Ye family's secrets?

Know where you stand.

Take care of yourself.

Have you seen enough?

What if I say no?

Then next time,

please come in five minutes earlier.

Why do I feel

that your attitude toward him

is quite peculiar?

I'm just doing my job.

Nothing like some people

who spend all their time together

in far more delicate circumstances.

What do you want from me?

President Ye,

Ms. Ling,

I just received a call.

Director Xia from our company

has rallied several group shareholders

and secured nearly half

of the board's authorization.

They're carrying the authorization resolution

and are already on their way

to the President's Office.

Director Xia?

Authorization resolution?

[Mare Nubium]

I got a call from Director Chen yesterday

asking about it.

The board meeting still has to be convened.

Otherwise,

all of these company decisions—

[Mare Nubium]

President Ye is here.

Please get up.

So what if she's here?

I came today

specifically to speak with President Ye.

I was only gone for a few minutes,

[Mare Nubium]

yet everyone's already in an uproar.

Director Xia,

what's the matter?

I've been following your father

and your uncle

in working with Mare Nubium

all these years.

I watched helplessly

as your Ye family went through upheaval.

Fortunately, the Lu family you married into

had the backing of a major capital group,

Changlu Group.

Their support

kept Mare Nubium

from collapsing.

Back then, we all thought

you had left with Lu Sinan,

yet here you are, alive.

As a human being,

you shouldn't be so heartless.

Just say what you want to say.

Since you don't want to listen,

I won't beat around the bush either.

This is Mare Nubium's resolution,

signed by nearly half

of the board's shareholders.

We demand that the Ye and Lu families—

specifically Lu Sinan and Ye Haimeng—

publicly divide their jointly held shares

and assets.

We further demand

[Mare Nubium]

that a general shareholders' meeting be convened

to determine who holds

Mare Nubium's

largest stake

and who is

its highest-ranking director.

The board has already notified

the media

that in seven days,

on the fourth anniversary of Mr. Lu Sinan's death,

a meeting will be held for all shareholders and the press.

We also request that President Ye

and Ms. Ling

attend on time.

Director Xia,

you issued a public announcement

without senior management's approval.

That's effectively a coup.

Ms. Ling,

we're just trying to preserve transparency

[Authorization Resolution of Board of Directors]

and fairness here.

[Mare Nubium]

You'll destroy Mare Nubium this way.

[Authorization Resolution of Board of Directors]

No problem.

Haimeng.

Seven days later,

see you at the public meeting.

Why did you agree to that?

They're just carrying out the Lu family's orders,

doing their dirty work.

You mean Du Meiyun?

Before we returned to the Lu family,

we had a plan:

[Mare Nubium]

Return to Cloud Manor

and gain the upper hand.

Following the leads,

we found my mother's whereabouts.

With my mother's inherited shares,

we regained

control of Mare Nubium.

Last time,

we also recovered Mare Nubium's official seal

[Mare Nubium]

and intercepted

their application to change the legal representative.

And before the Lu family could react,

we secured

Lu Sinan's death certificate.

So the actual control

rests firmly in our hands.

The only thing I'm missing is

outright control

of Mare Nubium's board.

Without a clear majority stake

in Mare Nubium,

if the minor shareholders unite,

my authority as President won't be secure.

And to win the majority,

we need to divide

the joint shares Sinan and I held.

That's the only leverage the minority directors have over me

and the Lu family's last trump card.

You mean

the property custody agreement

Lu Sinan left behind?

Yes.

We've never managed to obtain

that agreement.

As long as it remains in the Lu family's hands,

they'll continue to hold on to

37% of Mare Nubium's shares.

That means I can't become the company's majority shareholder,

and certainly can't secure

absolute control of the board.

This is indeed

the Lu family's biggest trump card.

So what do you plan to do?

Return to Cloud Manor.

Tell Jie to get ready.

You're going back there yourself?

The item is in Lu Siyu's room.

And it's the room where Lu Sinan used to live.

No one but me

could possibly open it.

No, it's too dangerous.

[Mare Nubium]

You were almost caught last time.

No matter how dangerous it is,

can it be worse than death?

Three years ago,

I already died once.

This time,

I will survive.

It's very quiet here.

Nothing unusual.

Where is Lu Siyu?

He's been in his room the whole time.

I'll get him to come out.

Tell Jie to get ready.

Time will be tighter this time.

You need to be extra careful.

I know.

Lu Siyu!

Lu Siyu, come out right now!

Lu Siyu, come out now!

What is it? It's so late.

Why are you already in bed?

I have to get up

for training every morning.

Not like you, Princess,

get to enjoy your beauty sleep.

How dare you!

Talking to your sister like that.

Come on.

What?

Did you withdraw

a large sum of money today?

The family's financial advisor

called about it.

Mom wants to know

where you put

all that money.

That's my own money.

Do I really need to report

to the family every time I spend?

Let's go.

Mom wants to ask you herself.

Sis.

Let's go.

Wait a moment.

What's wrong?

Something's off today.

You'd better not go in.

Haven't fixed the surveillance?

It's not about the surveillance.

It's about Lu Siyue who just appeared.

Don't you find it strange?

They were checking accounts in the middle of the night

and took Lu Siyu away

without closing the door.

It must have been Lu Siyu

who invested a large sum of money,

and now his family is asking about it.

The open door

doesn't seem odd

Lu Siyu

wouldn't have set a trap.

Why do you trust him so much?

[Don't forget—]

[he's a Lu.]

We're out of time.

We must get the agreement today.

Tell Jie

to take care of the surveillance cameras.

Ye Haimeng!

Are you half asleep?

What's this about checking accounts

in the middle of the night?

Mom isn't even here.

Siyu, open the door.

I need to talk to you.

What is it now?

Can't whatever it is

wait until tomorrow?

It's so late.

No.

I have to tell you now.

Open up!

I'm already in bed.

Open the door, Siyu.

Who's there?

Who is it?

What's happening in your room?

Open the door, Siyu!

Open up!

Lu Siyu, open the door!

Siyu, open the door now.

Open up, Siyu!

Open the door!
