In the golden autumn of October, the most sensational news in the capital was the passing of Madam Qin.
She has been bedridden for more than ten years, and there have been several reports that she was seriously ill and in critical condition, but each time she turned out to be out of danger.
Some say that Madam Qin was lucky; even Death took pity on her and spared her time and time again.
Some people even whispered that they would rather die than not make steamed buns, and that even if they only had one breath left, they would outlive Yao Wanying before dying themselves.
Everyone knows the latter is impossible.
After all, Yao Wanying was younger than Madam Qin and in much better health.
For so many years, countless people in the capital's elite families have been waiting to see the Qin family's big show.
It seems that Yao Wanying outlasted Madam Qin to gain power.
Madam Qin, however, had an exceptionally long standby time, outlasting Yao Wanying until she was defeated.
First, in April, Yao Wanying disappeared silently from the capital.
Then in October, I received a condolence notice from the Qin family.
Even though she only lived for another six months, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, Madam Qin had clearly won.
On the seventh day after Madam Qin's death, Qin Zhongsong officially stepped down at the Qin Group's shareholders' meeting.
Effective immediately, Qin Yucheng becomes the head of the Qin Group.
A month later, just as everyone had forgotten the series of gossip surrounding the Qin family, a private jet bearing the Qin Group logo flew directly from the capital airport to New York.
Some people claim to have seen Qin Zhongsong at the New York airport.
Some people also recalled seeing Yao Wanying, adorned with jewels, at a high-society banquet in New York.
When the news spread, everyone was astonished.
They've been fighting for half their lives, but who can really say who won between Madam Qin and Yao Wanying?
It's just a muddled mess!
In the living room of Lishan Mansion, Qin Chu touched Ye Li's high, protruding belly, looking apologetic. "Li Zi, I'm sorry, I may have to break my promise."
Ye Li's due date is in early January.
Given Qin Chu's personality, a 10-hour flight is a piece of cake.
Even if it's windy and snowy, or even if it's raining knives, she will definitely come back to be with Ye Li when she has a baby.
She is not afraid of traveling.
But Ye Li refused, her eyes full of mockery, "Just you wait and see. When you return to Munich this time, your CEO Lu will definitely not let you off easy! You kept such a big secret from him for a whole month. I conservatively estimate that you won't be able to leave his sight for the next year."
Qin Chu: ...
The two sisters spent the afternoon cuddling together. Late at night after dinner, Fu Yanci drove Ye Li and Qin Chu to the capital airport.
A direct flight from Beijing to Munich takes only 10 hours.
Even so, Ye Li still held Qin Chu's hand and gave him countless instructions.
Qin Chu looked at Fu Yanci with a pleading expression.
"Then please be careful on your journey. Once the plane lands and you see Xi Zhou, let us know you've arrived safely!"
Fu Yanci put his arm around Ye Li, and the couple waved to Qin Chu.
The takeoff was bumpy.
The landing was bumpy.
Qin Chu gripped the armrests of the seat tightly with both hands, his heart trembling with nervousness.
Hearing the announcement that the plane had safely arrived in Munich and thanking the passengers for their support of Lufthansa, Qin Chu looked back at the dark night sky outside the window, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down.
The next moment, the phone chimed softly.
[Airport Reception Area]
In May, Fu Ye and Li Zi got married, and Qin Chu and Lu Xizhou were both in the capital.
After that, as they had previously agreed, the two stayed in the capital for a few months.
During this time, Lu Xizhou also went back to Sicheng to visit his parents.
In early September, the Munich project went live. Lu Xizhou reluctantly bid farewell to Qin Chu, who hadn't finished dealing with the car park matters, and left with a few glances back.
For the next month, Lu Xizhou switched endlessly between irritable urging and humble pleading.
Every day, she would ask: "Mrs. Lu, do you still want your man?"
My daily prayer: Wife, I miss you. Please come back soon.
However, every day, Qin and Chu would find a variety of reasons why they couldn't travel.
Today, she had already arranged for Pear to accompany her to her prenatal checkup.
Tomorrow is the wedding of a race car driver at the parking lot, and as the owner, she has to go and give a gift.
The almanac says today is not a good day to travel.
After much anticipation, just as the schedule was about to be finalized in October, Madam Qin passed away.
Lu Xizhou: ...!!!
In the past, Qin Chu would not have gone, nor would he have had any reason to go.
After all, Madam Qin is not Qin Zhongsong.
Qin Zhongsong is her father in a biological sense. Even though she has never called him "Dad" in all these years, she has to be there for him if anything really happens to him.
But Madam Qin was different.
However, Qin Chu did not expect that Qin Yucheng had asked someone for help, and Qin Zhongsong had also made a phone call.
The father and son were remarkably alike: they couldn't write two Qin characters in one stroke.
Qin Chu knew why; it wasn't because Yao Wanying wasn't in the capital and the Qin family was no longer a threat.
It wasn't because Qin Yuchen had let her off the hook.
It's because she's Mrs. Fu's best friend and Mr. Fu's acknowledged sister-in-law.
Ultimately, it was all for Fu Yanci.
Whether it's because of Yao Wanying or Ye Li, Qin Chu won't go.
But Fu Yanci said something, and Qin Chu left.
Not only Qin Chu went, but Fu Yanci and Ye Li also went. From beginning to end, wherever she was, Ye Li was there too.
Fu Yanci's gaze never left Ye Li.
After the condolences, the group of people from the wealthy families in the capital understood.
She might not acknowledge Qin Chu's identity as the second young lady of the Qin family.
However, the fact that she is Fu Ye's sister-in-law is certain.
And so this delay has dragged on until now, a full month later than the departure date Lu Xizhou set for her.
Traveling light, Qin Chu didn't even bring a suitcase, only a small bag.
