Episode 22
Hey.
What are you still thinking of?
Second Brother, I have thought it over carefully.
Your culinary skill is still better than mine.
It's still better that you be the head chef.
I will continue
to be the restaurant manager.
It's better this way.
This ...
I'm unable to answer you regarding this.
You should ask dad.
No.
Do you think the position of the head chef of this restaurant is something so easily obtained and given up?
Wouldn't other people laugh at us?
Dad.
Why are you inflexible?
I don't want to be the head chef anymore.
Second Brother. Help to speak up on my behalf.
It's useless for anyone to talk about this.
Dad.
Li Yang is still injured.
It's also not convenient for him to be in the kitchen.
Why don't we do this? Give him some time for him to recover from his injury.
If he still wants to be the head chef after that,
I will give him back the position.
You only know how to accommodate him.
He is my younger brother.
If I don't accommodate him, who else should I accommodate then?
Let's do it this way then.
Wait till he has recovered from his injury,
he will retain his head chef position.

Now that Li Yang is back,
everyone can go back to the way it used to be.
Uncle Chen can also stop worrying.
What's wrong with you?
I really find it strange.
Why did Li Yang, after he has been away for a few days,
and when he's back,
he doesn't want to be the head chef?
Li Yang doesn't want to be the head chef?
This has always been his dream.
He said that
cooking is such a boring job and he prefers to go back to running the restaurant.
Of course, initially, dad doesn't agree with it.
I saw them in a deadlock over there.
So, I got involved and helped
to persuade dad.
Only then did dad attempt the impossible. He
gave Li Yang some time
to think about it.
Looking at Li Yang, it seems like he has released his heavy load.
I really don't know what this little rascal
is exactly up to.
Perhaps after having gone through those things, he wishes to temporarily withdraw for a while.
He wanted to wait till he has sorted out his feelings
before he accepts the post of the head chef again.
Blame me
for turning the family upside down.
Why are you saying such a silly thing?
How could we blame this on you?
It was my fault
for causing Li Yang to have a misunderstanding with me.
You ... don't shoulder all the burden again.
Remember this. You have me in future.
With me here, I will help you with any other matters.
With me here, I will help you to carry all your worries.
You just need to be this way,
quietly keeping company with me.
Even if, in the future, you drive me out.
I will never leave you too.
It's so late.
What are you doing in the kitchen?
I'm hungry
and wanted to make some supper.
You are injured. Let me do it for you.
No need.
It's not like I'm unfamiliar with the kitchen.
How is it that the measuring equipment in the kitchen
are not here anymore?
Hao Feng has kept all those equipment for Western cusine.
He won't be using them anymore.
Second Brother, by doing this,
does it mean that
he has given up on Western cuisine?
He wants to prove to Sister Xiao Xia
that he doesn't want to dwell in the past
and has decided to let go of Xiao Hui?
Hao Feng said that
he and Xiao Hui will always be friends.
Since Second Brother and Xiao Hui
has become friends,
Second Brother probably wouldn't do anything wrong to Sister Xiao Xia again.
Sister Xiao Xia.
If next time, in the future,
once again,
Second Brother takes advantage of you,
I ...
It probably wouldn't happen again.
Okay. What would you like to eat?
I will prepare it.
No need.
I will just cook something for myself.
Sister Xiao Xia, go to sleep now.
Tomorrow, there are still many things to be done in the restaurant.
Then, don't sleep too late too.
I will go to bed after I have finished eating.
Sir. What would you like to eat today?
What's wrong with your restaurant?
It seems like nothing major has changed.
I haven't eaten your dumpling soup for a few days. I missed it so much.
Then, you should order more today. You can pack those that you can't finish today.
You, rotten little rascal. You are still so good at doing business.
Okay. Give me two servings of the signature steamed dumplings
and a bowl of the dumpling soup.
Okay. Two servings of our signature steamed dumplings and a bowl of the dumpling soup.
Two servings of our signature steamed dumplings and a bowl of the dumpling soup.
Got it. It will be ready shortly.
Okay. It's done.
Chen Traditional Restaurant.
Three servings of the signature steamed dumplings
Two servings of golden crispy crab meat pastry.
9 Xikang Road, Room 302.
Wait a minute. It will be there shortly.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Let me deliver this take away order.
I won't be home for dinner. Don't wait for me.
You have a date?
Who is it? Is it Xiao Xiao?
How could it be her?
If I want to look for her, I can always wait for her to come here.
Furthermore. even if I'm not looking for her, she will come running here.
I can't even drive her away.
This is not what Xiao Xiao said.
But have you gotten to know a woman friend lately?
No.
I don't have a girlfriend at all.
Li Yang.
I will be happy when you have a girlfriend
but you must think it over carefully.
If Xiao Xiao finds out,
she won't forgive you.
You better not cry when that time comes.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Your imagination's too vivid.
She's just an ordinary, can't be any more ordinary, friend - that's all.
Okay.
I will tell Hao Feng that you are having dinner outside.
But Uncle Chen will be worried if you come home late.
Got it.
Godmother.
I'm here.
Lu Fei*. [*Monkey D. Luffy - a character in the Japanese manga 'One Piece' by Eiichiro Oda.]
A timely arrival is better than an early one.
Godmother has finished tidying up
and was just about to cook.
Stay here for dinner.
Godmother. Don't cook today.
Today, your godson is taking you out to dinner.
Take this as I'm officially acknowledging you as my godmother.
Okay?
Don't spend money unnecessarily.
It's fine as long as you are sincere.
Godmother. How much money could eating a meal outside waste?
You are still young.
You don't know the importance of economising.
In future,
when you want to get a wife.
you would need to spend money on lots of other things.
Godmother.
It's still a long way off for me to get married.
Besides,
how much can a dinner cost?
It has nothing to do with getting a wife.
Godmother. If you don't agree,
then, I will just
have dinner here.
This way then.
Keep this money as spending money.
Ru Fei. Godmother may be very poor
but even being poor, one must have integrity.
Why should I, for no reason at all, take your money?
Take it back, quick.
Godmother.
Just go out and have dinner with me then.
Your sincerity
Godmother has received it.
However, Godmother is used to simple food.
Let's just eat whatever I cook.
This way, then.
I will set a rule. So how?
What rule?
I will choose the place.
You choose what you want to eat.
Okay?
Godmother.
Don't hesitate any more. Just say yes to me.
Just say yes.
Okay. I will listen to you.
Okay. Let's pack up and go now.
Godmother, we are here.
Ru Fei.
The food at this restaurant must be very expensive.
Godmother. Didn't we already agree?
I choose the restaurant, you order the food.
Let's go.
Ru Fei.
Look. In this restaurant.
whichever dish you order,
it's more than what I make in more than three weeks.
No, no.
Let's go.
Godmother. Don't bring up the topic of money again.
We have already agreed that I would treat.
Ru Fei. Even if you have money,
you must spend more frugally.
Why don't you listen to Godmother
and change to another location?
I will choose the restaurant and you order the food.

This rotten Li Yang.
I wonder where he went to.
He came back for just a few days and he has gone missing again.
Tonight, he has a dinner date
with a very, very ordinary friend.
He would probably be back late.
A friend? Guy or gal?
He didn't say.
Sister Xiao Xiao.
You should be more careful.
Could it be that Uncle Li Yang
is secretly cheating on you with that date?
He wouldn't dare to do that.
I met a very kind hearted auntie.
She saved me and took care of me.
These past few days, I have been staying with her.
She is alone and living a very hard life.
I'm very grateful to her
and want to take care of her.
So, I regarded her as my godmother.
I know who he has a date with.
He is such an idiot.
We already said that we should go together.
I still need to thank her properly.
Who?
Li Yang has a date. You are not jealous?
What is there
to be jealous about?
Sister Xiao Xiao.
Stop being so mysterious.
Who exactly is she?
Such a big matter,
Yang Yang didn't even tell his family?
Looks like Yang Yang
tells secrets only to me.
He finally treats me as his family.
I'm so happy.
Who exactly is she?
It's what he told me the last time,
he has a godmother.
Let me make a toast to you.
I'm already your godmother.
Do you still need to be so formal?
Godmother. Thank you for saving me that day
and for even letting me stay at your place for a few days.
You even showed concern for me and took care of me.
I didn't have a mother since I was young.
It was you who let me understand what a mother's love means.
You've made up for my childhood regrets,
gave me the feeling that
you are like a real mother to me.
Frankly,
I want to thank you too.
Thank you for being my son
and making my family complete.
You even personally made supper for me
and even snacks.
You even talked to me till the middle of the night.
You even treated me to a big meal.
As my godson,
you are more
like my own son.
Godmother.
Thank you. This is what I should do.
If ...
you want to be my real son, would it be great?
What a pity
I'm not that fortunate.
Godmother.
Who says that you don't have such good fortune?
I will now regard you as my real mother.
Ru ... Ru Fei.
I'm so happy that
I don't know what to say.
Godmother.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Come. Let me make a toast to you again.
Xiao Xiao. Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?
Uncle Chen. I thought that Yang Yang would personally tell you about it.
Have you ever met his godmother?
No.
But I heard Yang Yang said that
when he ran away from home,
he was drunk and fought with other people.
It was his godmother who saved him.
His godmother may be very poor
but she treated him very well.
That's why he was really grateful to her.
He likes her very much too.
And even said that he wanted to take good care of her.
Do you know where his godmother lives?
No. He didn't tell me.
Don't tell me that the reason Li Yang doesn't want to be the head chef
has something to do with his godmother?
Godmother.
Have an early rest today.
I will come and see you again tomorrow.
Ru Fei.
Don't always keep me company and let it affect what you need to do.
I know, Godmother.
I will leave first then.
You must be careful.
Godmother. The rain is too heavy here.
Come home with me.
I'm okay.
No.
If you continue to live here,
you will definitely be sick.
I'm fine.
Why did you come back when it's so late?
Go home now.
No. If I leave you alone here,
I will worry too.
This rain is really too heavy.
Come home with me now.
What right do I have
to stay at your house?
It's okay.
I have already acknowledged you as my godmother.
Furthermore, my family are extremely good people.
They won't think of you as an outsider.
Godmother, don't hesitate anymore.
Come with me now. Let's go.
This child. Seriously ...
Wait a minute. Here.
Take your time, Godmother.
Godmother, we are home.
Dad.
Let me make the introductions.
This is my godmother.
Godmother. This is my father.
This is my Second Brother. This is ...
Li Yang.
Why did you bring her home?
Dad.
It's because it's raining too heavily outside.
So, Godmother wouldn't be able to stay there tonight.
Furthermore, during that short period of time,
I was staying at her house.
I would like Godmother to stay here for the time being.
Isn't this Man Li?
Li Yang's mother.
What did you call him just now?
You called him father?
Do you know who I am?
Li Yang. She is your mother, your biological mother.
What did you say?
Your name is not Ru Fei?
It's Li Yang?
Son.
I have been searching for you everywhere.
Son. I'm your mother.
Look carefully.
This man
caused the death of your father!
Wang Man Li. What nonsense are you spouting?
I'm spouting nonsense?
If it weren't for you,
would Li Yang's father had died?
If it weren't for you,
would we have a broken family?
If it weren't for you,
how would I have lost my only son for 29 years?
You are guilty of such crimes!
I'm warning you.
Did you think that I would forget all this after so many years?
I'm warning you.
Even if I die, I will never forget this!
You can't differentiate the right from the wrong.
You are confused!
I'm confused?
Okay.
I will give you an opportunity today,
in front of so many witnesses,
to clarify yourself
on how Li Yang's father died?
Do you dare to swear to heaven
that you didn't caused the death of Chen Gong?
You ... how could you do this?
Leave now.
The Chen family don't welcome you.
Get lost!
Dad.
Don't call him father.
He is your enemy.
Chen Chuen. I don't need you to drive us out.
We will leave
and use Li Yang's father's blood to take back the restaurant.
Standing here, we mother and son hate it that our feet will be soiled.
What you did,
will be avenged!
Li Yang. Let's go.
Li Yang. Dad.
Li Yang. Come back here!
Li Yang! Come ...
Uncle Chen!
Mom! Mom!
Mom. What exactly happened?
Mom. Stop crying.
Say something.
Li Yang.
Uncle Chen!

Your father, Chen Chuen
and that father I was referring to,
they were bioloigcal brothers.
The Chen Traditional restaurant
was willed to both you and your father by your grandfather.
But Chen Chuen
was afraid that your father would surpass him in his skills.
So, he didn't allow him to enter the ktichen
and drove him out to do front service.
To that extent, your dad
was depressed at not having achieved his ambition.
Frankly,
it's because he wanted the family assets
and wished to monopolise the Chen family's three pieces of 'lost knowledge'.
At that time,
since you won't let Chen Gong learn the Chen family's three pieces of 'lost knowledge',
as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family,
I will learn on your behalf.
You can't do that.
The Chen family's recipes can't be passed down to a woman.
Furthermore,
he even broke up your father and my relationship.
He said that it was better for him to be without me
Your father only knew
how to drown his sorrows in alcohol every day.
Stop drinking so much.
Brother.
If Man Li really wants to learn
just teach her.
Don't you know that the Chen's recipes
can't be handed down to women?
Aiyoh.
This is just an outdated ancestor's practice. We are alive.
Be my buddy just once.
Teach Man Li.
Look at you.
For this woman's sake,
you are even going to break the 100 years old tradition of the Chen family.
You don't have any family honour at all.
Give it to me.
I'm not teaching her.
Your dad's remains were scarcely cold.
He immediately wanted
to drive us out of the house.
He even separated
us, the mother and child.
This all
has already been 20 years.
I originally thought that
he would give you the restaurant.
to make amends for his past wrong doing.
I never thought that
he still relegated you to the front service station.
He has never changed at all.
For the sake of seizing the Chen Traditional restaurant,
they will never part with it.
But ...
since young till now,
he has always treated me so well.
Between us brothers' lunchboxes
mine was always the most full.
Of course,
he also gave me immense pressure.
When I was learning culinary skills,
as long as I burnt a little of the wok,
I would be punished for the longest period.
If this didn't happen today,
I would never have suspected that he is not my biological father.
That was all fake.
It's because he wanted you
to forget your own biological father.
He wanted you to forget your enemy.
But ...
Li Yang. Don't tell me that you are willing
to see your dad in the grave being wrongly accused.
Li Yang.
You are my only hope.
If you don't support mom,
I really
don't have any more reason to live on.
Mom.
Mom. I get it.
I will think about this carefully.
Uncle Qi
What is exactly wrong with my father?
Looking at this,
his condition is not very positive.
Not positive?
Nothing would happen to Grandpa, right?
It won't.
Uncle Chen will definitely be fine.
He only needs to go to the hospital
to take some medication and injection and will be back shortly.
Hello.
Hello. Xiao Xiao?
Why are you answering the call?
Where's the family?
Elder Brother. Uncle Chen is in the hospital.
What? My dad is at the hospital?
Which hospital is that?
Don't leave behind any regrets.
Marriage is a happy event, dad.
Why do you seem to be leaving me the final task to do?
Are you sick?
Are you cursing your father?
I always wanted to be a son that you could be proud of.
One day, I will
prove myself to you.
Actually, I already knew about this earlier on
regarding your father's illness.
But it was because Uncle Chen didn't allow me to tell you both,
that's why I have been helping him to hide this.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have hidden it from you both.
Perhaps, if I have spoken up earlier about this,
he would never have turned out like this.
I'm sorry.
If it weren't for me.
Li Yang wouldn't have left home.
Things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Xiao Xia.
This is not your fault.
Outpatient and Emergency
Dad.
Elder Brother.
Dad is in hospital.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't tell me that you are going to wait till he has passed away before you tell me?
Elder Brother, sorry.
It's because this incident happened too suddenly
and my brain is still in a daze.
I know.
No wonder Dad gave me such a big sum of money.
I have always been suspiscious.
No matter how I asked, he wouldn't answer my questions.
I'm such a bastard!
Elder Brother, don't be like this.
What exactly is wrong with dad?
The hospital has let me sign a notice of critical illness form.
Dad.
You have always worried about me.
You haven't seen me succeed yet.
Dad. You must wake up.
You must wake up.
Your son is back.
Hao Feng. Xiao Xia.
Both of you can go back first.
I will stay here alone and keep dad company.
We will leave first then.
The previous generation of your Chen family
has hidden so many grievances.
Didn't Uncle Chen bring this up?
Dad has never talked about the matter regarding uncle and him.
Since young, he has always imposed upon us
that we must regard Li Yang like our own brother.
I never knew that so many things happened between uncle and my dad.
No wonder when dad looked at uncle's photo in the past, he would be in a trance.
He would be in a trance for the whole day.
Don't tell me that dad really did something wrong
to let Li Yang's mother hate him so much?
Hao Feng.
I believe that in the past, Uncle Chen and Li Yang's mother
must have some kind of misunderstanding.
At that time, when the Chen Traditional restaurant
first relocated from Shanghai,
I thought the reason was because of me.
There must have been another reason.

If what everything mom said
is real,
don't tell me that all these years,
the love I have received from the Chen family
were all faked?
I had a phony dad,
created a false identity,
with fake childhood years and
the fake memories.
Who am I then?
Am I still that outsider, Chen Li Yang?
Should I really, for the sake of my mother,
for the sake of the father that I hardly knew,
take revenge
on the father who raised me up and also my brothers?
(Xiao Xiao)
Sorry.
Lately, many events
have happened to us.
We need to close for a few days.
Please forgive us.
Last night,
I saw an ambulance passing this way.
Is Mr Chen sick?
Could it be that because Uncle Chen fainted,
that the Chen Traditional restaurant is going to fold up?
Aiyah.
What a pity.
In future, let's find a cheaper and better restaurant to go to.
No matter what the situation is,
the only one left to look after the restaurant is me.
The signboard of the restaurant
will never fall.
Yang Yang.
Something so major happened to your family,
tell me what I should do.
I don't care anymore.
I don't believe that you will switch off your cellphone forever.
I will definitely find you.
Hello.
Hello, Yang Yang.
Why has your cellphone been switched off the whole day?
Do you know that I have been calling since yesterday till now and couldn't get through?
Where are you now?
I'm with my mother.
I will go over and look for you now.
Tell me the address.
Yang Yang. Say something.
Yang Yang.
You don't even trust me?
I will not tell anyone where you are.
I only want to go over and see you.
Tell me, okay?
Yang Yang.
You are here.
Yang Yang.
What your mom said yesterday,
was it all true?
Xiao Xiao.
I have been thinking the whole night.
I feel that my parents
and my uncle
definitely must have a misundestanding.
Xiao Xiao. Do me a favour, okay?
My mom just went out and will be back shortly.
Help me to take care of her.
I'm going back to the restaurant to ask my dad
regarding this matter.
I will leave first.
Help me to look after my mom.
Yang Yang!
I haven't finished what I was saying.
Uncle Chen, because of what happened yesterday.
is already in the hospital.
I never imagined that auntie
would live in such a place for so many years.
If Uncle Chen really caused that harm,
no wonder she really hates him for that.
No, no.
How could Uncle Chen harmed him?
There must be some misunderstanding.
You are ...
Auntie.
I'm Yang Yang's ...
No, it's not that. I'm Li Yang's friend.
My name is Xiao Xiao.
Auntie. Yang Yang has gone back to the Chen Traditional restaurant to take a look. Let me take care of you.
That child ...
He feels uneasy and went back to the restaurant.
Auntie.
Frankly, you don't need to be angry.
Think about it.
You and Li Yang have already gotten to know each other.
This is a happy thing.
Furthermore, Li Yang has lived in the Chen family's house for 20 years.
It's 20 years.
The Chen family treats him very well.
Furthermore, I feel that this matter,
could be a misunderstanding.
Dad.
Li Yang.
Second Brother. Where is dad?
I have something to ask him.
Dad is in the hospital.
I'm going to the hospital to look for him then.
Li Yang.
The doctor said that his condition is very dangerous.
He is still in lying down in intensive care.
He is not conscious yet.
Li Yang.
I feel that before everything has been made clear,
don't go and ask him first.
You are very close to the Chen family?
The Chen family and we were old neighbours.
Subsequently, our shop
became the supplier of the Chen family's restaurant.
That's why we know each other very well.
You have been together with Li Yang for such a long time.
You both must feel deeply for each other.
Xiao Xiao.
I can see that
you are the only one
who is by Li Yang's side.
You sincerely love him.
For his own good,
you must stand on my side.
You must not side with the Chen family.
Do you understand?
Second Brother. I'm very confused.
I have always believe that dad is a good man.
But after hearing what my mom said,
I feel that I'm sandwiched in between
the previous generation's grievances.
I don't know which side I should take.
Preview...
This is the Chen family's real motive.
For the sake of getting the assets,
they just used these features
and caused the death of your father.
Uncle Chen has done so many bad things.
You must take revenge.
You must take revenge. Do you understand?!
If I want to reclaim the Chen Traditional restaurant,
would you take my side?
Choose between my Second Brother or me.
She is sure to be engaged in a conspiracy.
Hao Feng. You must be careful.
No matter what happens,
you must question her.
