Ok. Apologies are in order.
Two, the reveal starts in Chapter 45.. but you really need to get to know only in chapter 46. So you'll have to wait for one more day for the BIG REVEAL. Sorry.. I thought it was 45.
Chapter 45
“When are you going to come with me to visit your father's grave?”
"Then I will go alone once every day," Jiang Shi Jun said. He leaned his head back, as if talking to a very familiar person. "When will you be free? The flowers you sent last time have withered away."
"Get me some tea."
Jiang Shi Jun never liked to wait for too long, so the secretary was trained well to work quickly. Soon there was a knock on the door.
The door was pushed open, but it wasn't the secretary..
Xu Ziqing carried a pot of tea inside and smiled, " Why ? Don't you want to see me ?"
He took the cup but did not drink. He asked her, " Weren't the lawyers supposed to come and read the will today?"
“What happened?” He asked again, and seemed to be more anxious than her.
As she said this, she poured tea for herself.
Contrary to his expectations, Xu Ziqing helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "Xu is now in a volatile situation. She will take over that mess. Jiang Yu Nan is very capable , but how much will he be able to save the situation? Rather than charge directly, I figured it is better in a business community to be the woman behind a successful man."
She did not understand his response, she should relax…
"”Come on, we will go and have dinner.”
When the key was pressed, the phone rang immediately.
"……" “…”
" I am outside." Xu Ziqing looked up at Jiang Shi Jun, paused , and then continued , " What happened?"
"……" “…”
“Yes, I’ll go back soon.”
“Something happened at home?”
Xu Ziqing nodded his head.
"……" “…”
"……" “…”
"Well, okay.”
Then she walked away , quickly disappearing around the corner.
She could not help but look back and see the Li Bo building becoming smaller and smaller. She still felt that from the window of the top floor, a pair of eyes was staring at her fiercely.
Stunned, she immediately turned away, hesitated, then picked up her phone and dialled a string of familiar numbers. Her heart settled down slightly. The phone was quickly connected. Xu Ziqing did not wait for him to speak and she said, "Where are you?"
"……" “…”
Zhou Cheng did not answer, she said: “I urgently, urgently need to see you!”

When they stepped out of the house together, for the first time, she pulled away from him and appeared dissatisfied. "You should not pull me way. I am not at ease with my mother being alone in this empty house."
Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows. She did not say anything and turned to look out of the window.There seemed to be strange distance between her and Jiang Yu Nan now.
She leaned back, pillowing her head on his shoulder. Her speech was slow and tired, " Yesterday some of dad's friends came to visit us. Including Liu Jun."
" They have sold our shares. How did they have the gall to say " Sorry" when they did not think about our feelings?
"……" “…”
Jiang Yu Nan just hugged her and tightened his hold on her hands, " Dont think so much…"
Yan Liang paused, thought about it and decided to say something else, " I have been thinking. What if we re-purchase the stock and at the same time create a new share plan, so that my mother and other trusted shareholders get a preferential dividend? If there is no way to stop the hostile takeover, the acquirer will be forced to pay higher prices and this may push them into a financial crisis."
"……" “…”
"……" “…”
"Yes there is a way. If we figure out who is behind the hostile takeover, we can actually find a friendly supporter , we can deliberately raise the purchase price. We can lock in the right to choose,…"
Yan Liang was taken aback.
“Then……”
She wanted to blurt out her question but was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Only her subordinates knew the new phone number, so as to shelter her from the media and other nuisances.
So she did not delay even half a second and immediately picked up the call.
It was Zhou Cheng
"..Zhou Cheng…"
She had only said this one word when she was interrupted by him," Where are you ? I have something to show you."
Zhou Cheng speaking to her in this tone made her sit up straighter, "What happened ?"
" The line is not clear. In short, I need you to come now to the apartment that you used to live in."
Jiang Yu Nan looked at her questioningly , at the same time, Zhou Cheng said ," Don’t ask why. Just come over now."
"……" “…”
"……" “…”
Yan Liang reluctantly said ,"Don’t tell me this is because of Xu Ziqing."
"……" “…”
"……" “…”
Zhou Cheng was silent but Yan Liang was already determined , she could only say ,"Ok."
She hung up the phone and wondered what to tell Jiang Yu Nan when he asked," what happened ?"
Obviously he heard the urgent voice in the other end. He also heard some of the conversation. Naturally, he did not miss the sentence that Yan Liang had uttered ..don’t tell me this is because of Xu Ziqing
But he did not wait for Yan Liang’s answer and said, "I’ll drop you back."
“No, I’ll take a taxi. You go home."
Jiang Yu Nan no longer insisted. He asked the driver to stop the car , watched her hail a taxi and only then told the driver to drive away.
His car quickly took the next lane and they could no longer see each other.
More than ten minutes later, the taxi reached Yan Liang’s apartment.
As Yan Liang took her bag from the taxi, Zhou Cheng also saw her.
Zhou Cheng decide to sit in the drivers seat, as if to tell Yan Liang that this time he was determined not to answer any of her questions.
" Just now were you out with Jiang Yu Nan?"
“Yes what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing……”
His tone sounded weird but Yan Liang did not ask again.
The car was going further and further into the suburbs until it reached the cemetery.
Yan Liang did not how to ask why they were taking this extremely strange trip.
Zhou Cheng got out of the car and led Yan Liang along the stone steps of the mountain. Yan Liang stopped at the steps and reminded him ," You have come to the wrong place. My dad is in another cemetery."
She did not go further but Zhou Cheng simply reached out and pulled her.
Yan Liang could only reluctantly keep up with him
Finally he reached the tombstone of a stranger.
Yan Liang stopped.
She looked at the tombstone. It was dusty and seemed to not have been tended to for a long time. Next to the photo, there were two fresh bouquets of flowers . She could not help but break the silence and ask ,"Who is he?"
Miumiu : I think it’s fairly obvious who he is
