Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the funeral ended, the media and guests left one after another. The previously crowded cemetery became quiet again.

A black car stopped silently at its entrance, and two people got out. It was Xie

Shi’an and Sang Qianqian, who was pregnant.

Sang Qianqian was holding a bouquet of white daisy flowers in her hands. With her status, she shouldn’t have come today. However, how could she not?

Before the two of them reached Zhen Yiping’s grave, they heard suppressed sobbing. Sang Qianqian looked over and saw Tang Bochuan and Zhen Zhu. The two hadn’t left the venue yet.

In front of everyone, Zhen Zhu was very calm and composed, as if she did not care about Zhen Yiping’s death.

However, behind her, she was crying so hard that she could not make a sound.

All the emotions that she had suppressed and restrained were like water

coming out of a broken dam, pouring out violently.

Tang Bochuan hugged Zhen Zhu and comforted her in a low voice.

Sang Qianqian silently stopped in her tracks, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Tang Bochuan had already seen them, nodding politely and saying, “Thank you for coming, Mr. Xie and Miss Sang.

Zhen Zhu raised her head with her red and swollen eyes and looked at Sang Qianqian coldly. “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here. Don’t disturb my dad’s peace!”

After she returned to the company, although her relationship with Zhen Yiping had eased, they were still far from being close. Their father-daughter relationship could still be described as distant.

She hadn’t even called Zhen Yiping ’daddy’ yet. However, at this moment, she

had unconsciously addressed Zhen Yiping as “my dad.”

Sang Qianqian looked at her silently. If Zhen Zhu could’ve called Zhen Yiping that name when he was still alive, he would’ve been very happy.

“How is Old Lady Zhen?” she asked. “I can go over and-”

“No need.”

Zhen Zhu interrupted her with a very bad attitude. “Don’t pretend to be a good

person here.”

In her eyes, Sang Qianqian was a person who was unfaithful to marriage and love. She was a person who betrayed her cousin, Shen Hanyu. She hated people like that.

Sang Qianqian didn’t care about Zhen Zhu’s attitude. She walked to Zhen Yiping’s grave, put down the bouquet in her hand, and bowed silently. Then, she turned around and looked at Zhen Zhu.

“Li Zhongjin is determined to get Zhen Group. Now that Uncle Zhen has passed away, Hanyu is overseas, and Old Lady Zhen is sick, you don’t have to insist on staying in the corporation. As long as you’re alive, there’s hope. Even if Li Zhongjin can take away the company now, he may not be able to keep it for long. When your cousin returns to the country in the future, he will definitely be able to take it back.”

Sang Qianqian still said what she wanted to say. “As for the old lady’s illness,

you can look for me anytime if you need me.’”‘

Zhen Zhu snorted coldly, but Tang Bochuan, who was at the side, replied, “Miss Sang, don’t worry. Director Miao came to diagnose Old Lady Zhen earlier and prescribed her some medicine. He said that she fell ill because she was too depressed and needed to recuperate.”

Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. With Director Miao treating the old lady, she could really rest assured.

Li Zhongjin couldn’t wait to show his greed toward Zhen Group. The funeral had just ended, yet he had used many dirty tricks to force Zhen Zhu to step down.

However, how could Zhen Zhu be willing to quit just like that? She didn’t take

Sang Qianqian’s advice to heart at all.

She had made up her mind to fight Li Zhongjin to the end. Even if she had to fight to death, she would not give Zhen Group up that easily. If she really gave up, how was she going to explain it to her father’s spirit in heaven?

However, what she couldn’t understand was that it wasn’t just Old Lady Zhen who stopped her from doing so, but even Shen Hanyu. He was far away overseas, yet he called her and told her not to force herself.

Shen Hanyu’s original words were, “You can’t do it alone. If you go head-on with Li Zhongjin, you’ll only suffer. He won’t be in the limelight for long, and the Zhen family will take the group back sooner or later. You don’t have to be too persistent now.”

These words sounded very familiar. It seemed to be similar to what Sang

Qianqian had said that day.

“Cousin, why do you sound like that woman?”

Zhen Zhu couldn’t help but complain in a low voice, “It’s fine if Sang Qianqian

told me not to be stubborn, but even you…”

Shen Hanyu was silent for a while. “She came to you?

“She did. She went to my dad’s funeral. However, she came with Xie Shi’an. She looked pregnant, and she’s probably about to give birth.

Zhen Zhu said bluntly, “In the end, she’s still with that guy. Cousin, don’t think about that woman. She doesn’t have a heart at all. It’s really not worth it.”

There was another silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhen Zhu couldn’t stand it and took the initiative to bring the topic back to the company. She didn’t want to quit just like that. She felt that Li Zhongjin was letting her off too easily.

“I’m not the only one who wants you to give up on fighting Li Zhongjin,” Shen Hanyu said lightly. “It’s also your father’s idea. Your father said that when it comes to the company compared to his precious daughter, his daughter is

more important.”

This time, it was Zhen Zhu’s turn to be silent. In the end, she obeyed Shen Hanyu’s wishes.

Therefore, less than a month after Zhen Yiping’s death, she took the initiative to resign on the grounds of taking care of Old Lady Zhen, and Li Zhongjin officially took over.

**

In less than a month, what Sang Qianqian was worried about became a reality.

Li Zhongjin replaced Zhen Zhu and officially became Zhen Group’s chairman. Zhen Zhu had no choice but to step down.

The news of Zhen Group changing hands was reported by the media.

Sang Qianqian felt stifled. What made her even more worried was Shen Shaofeng’s whereabouts. Until now, there was no definite news.

As the expected delivery date approached, she felt a little restless. For the next few days, she couldn’t even eat, and a few pimples popped out on her lips because of the heat.

“I know you’re anxious, but you can’t starve yourself.

Xie Shi’an personally brought some food in and gently advised, “At least eat a little. Don’t starve yourself.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Sang Qianqian was not in the mood to eat. “Have those people we sent out not returned yet?”

“No, they haven’t. The information is too limited.”

Xie Shi’an shook his head. “According to the clues we have now, the courtyard walls are gray, and there are parasol trees planted in the yard. It will take more than half a year to check every house.”

“Half a year…”

Sang Qianqian’s heart felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it. “We can afford to wait for half a year, but can Uncle Shen? If this drags on, it will be hard to say if he could survive.”

“I know, but right now, we can only wait. Qianqian, it’s useless no matter how anxious you are.”

Xie Shi’an scooped a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her. “If you don’t want to eat, at least have some soup. You have to think about the child…’

“I’m really not hungry. I don’t want to eat.”

Sang Qianqian was worried and subconsciously pushed Xie Shi’an’s hand away, muttering, “Did I do something wrong? Maybe I shouldn’t have kept things from Hanyu. If I had told him, Uncle Shen might have been saved earlier…” The chicken soup was boiling hot, and Sang Qianqian’s push caused some of it to spill.

Perhaps it was because he was scalded, or perhaps it was because she had mentioned Shen Hanyu, but Xie Shi’an dropped the bowl in his hand. The porcelain shattered and the soup spilled all over the floor..
