Episode 33
Chen family has two sons,
how come you can be the main chef, but he can't?
You know Chen Gong... shhh...
Your uncle had asthma since he was little.
He was especially allergic to flour.
So he could not step into the kitchen.
couldn't possibly become a chef.
With my illness, I'll never be able to step foot into the kitchen.
But Wang Man Li keeps thinking I'm trying to exclude them,
trying to make it difficult for them on purpose.c
Later,
Wang Man Li demanded
Since you won't let Chen Gong learn the three secret recipes,
as Chen's wife, let me learn for him.
Definitely not!
Chen family's secret recipes can only pass down
through male heirs, not female descendents.
She had her eyes on
our Chen Family's secret recipes.
This made me more suspicious of her.
But no matter how I put it,
I'm partially responsible
for your uncle's death.
I have prepared the passport, and divorce papers.
Or just sign on the divorce papers.
If at that time,
I'm not that obstinate and old-fashioned
I can be closer to Man Li.
Lesser grudge and hatred.
I can even pass the secret recipe of the Chens family
down to her.
Then your Uncle wouldn't have died.
I have already reminded this long before this.
When that woman just entered our family, she is filled with ill intentions.
Isn't she just trying to get our Chens family secret recipes and sell it for money abroad?
What's the use of keeping that kind of woman by your side?
Drink lesser.
Can you please be more awake?
I will get a divorce,
are you satisfied?!
You...
This is the sin which
I carried for this lifetime.
This is also why I must pass the Chens family old shop
down to Li Yang,
That's because I owed his Dad.
So Dad left the old shop to Li Yang,
is because he felt the guilt conscience.
In fact, the entire matter
no one is wrong.
Uncle Chen did it for the sake of the old shop.And Li Yang's Mum did it for the sake of her family.
Uncle Chen Gong did it for the sake of his family members.
They did it all for their individual dreams
Who would have thought of an ending like this?
Now the competition between Li Yang and me is still left with the last round.
If I can settle all the misunderstandings
before the competition,
I think
This is then the best solution.
Hello.
Director Wang, something bad has happened.I have no idea where did this rumour comes from, saying we have huge debts...
The shareholders are all requesting to take back their investment.
All the shareholders have already ask for Board of Directors meeting together.
The last round of competition, we can only win and not lose.
No matter we win or lose, or even a tie,
they will all withdraw their investments.
For the three great lost art of the Chen family,
the trade secrets of the first two snacks,
one lies in the outer part, the other in the ingredients.
And for the following third competing Chen's conch pearl,
the key lies in the old stock-based soup.
Its unique taste
relies on the old stock-based soup to improve and retain it.
If the third bout of the competition
requires the old stock-based soup,
then won't Li Yang definitely lose?
If it's just like what the customers have said,
the old stock-based wonton soup Li Yang makes
tastes different now.
Then,
it's very difficult for hm to succesfully make
the Chen's conch pearl dish.
It means that for the third bout of competition,
Li Yang will certainly lose.
Hao Feng, we have to help Li Yang
find out what's the problem with the old stock.
Buy a serve of the old stock-based wonton soup
made by Yang Yang Yang?
In this matter, it's not convenient for me to make an appearance.
So I'll have to leave it to you, Xiao Xiao.
Second brother, I still don't really understand.
If you wish to eat wonton,
both you and Sister Xiao Xia can make it.
Why insist on me
going to buy the wonton made by Yang Yang Yang?
We want to help him.
If you wish to eat the old stock-based wonton soup,
just go into the shop and have it will do.
Why do you want a takeaway?
No. It's my dad who wants to eat it.
It's busy at the shop.
So he lets me come over to get a takeaway.
If there's no problem,
I'll go inside first.
Sister Xiao Xia, Second Brother,
this is the old stock-based wonton made by Yang Yang Yang.
- Xiao Xia! - Sister Xiao Xia!
This is the surgery contract form.
Have a look.
If there is no problem,
then please sign it.
The surgery success rate
- is only 50%? - That's right.
Even the 50%
is also an optimistic estimate.
The patient's current condition
is extremely unstable.
Apart from becoming blind,
I'm afraid it might lead to complications.
So I propose that the sooner the surgery is performed
the better it is.
You've woken up?
Hao Feng, in case I become blind,
You won't. You won't.
The doctor has said
he will peform the surgery on you
right away.
After the surgery,
you will be just like the way you were.
You'll definitely be fine.
You'll be fine.
Hao Feng, I'd like to have a taste of
the old stock-based wonton soup made by Li Yang.
I know
where the problem lies with this soup.
Li Yang has not included that wild herb.
So that's what it is.
It's no wonder those regular customers
have all felt that the taste has changed.
Li Yang,
Mom has confidence in you.
In this competition,
you will surely win.
Mom, don't worry.
For your sake,
for Dad's sake,
for the sake of the Chen's family restaurant,
I will definitely make an all-out effort.
You've come.
I even thought that
I'd wait for a day.
It's just that I'm curious
and wish to see how the insufferably arrogant Chen Hao Feng
would beg me for mercy.
That's right.
I'm here to seek peace with you.
Are you conceding defeat to me now?
What if I don't agree to it?
If you don't agree,
after the competition,
the Chen's family restaurant will drown
among the people's voices.
The food and beverages corporation
run by you and your Mom
will also face a major crisis.
What did you say?
Are you seeking peace or issuing a threat?
I'm here to seek peace.
However, I'm not here to beg for mercy.
Chen Hao Feng,
don't be insolent.
Don't forget,
the previous two competitions
both ended with a draw between us.
Chen Hao Feng,
let me tell you.
I will abosolutely not lose.
There also can't be peace between us.
I definitely want it decided at the venue of the competition
that I've squarely won against you.
You can't win against me.
The old stock-based soup still lacks a type of ingredient?
Xiao Xiao, do you still remember
that time when we went to the place of origin looking for ingredients?
Didn't you and Li Yang
arrive one day later than we did?
Of course I remember.
I also remember on that day
once Yang Yang Yang and I reached Aunty's house,
we personally witnessed
an exceptionally great show.
You only remembered all the useless stuff.
Ok, sister Xiao Xia,
tell me quickly,
what ingredients
does the old broth lack?
Wild greens?
Yes, wild greens.
That time, when Xiao Xia and I
went to aunty's house. The first night,
aunty served us dinner.
With Xiao Xia's taste buds,
we discovered this wild greens,
that is one of the ingredients of old broth.
Enough!
I don't want to stay here listen to you reiterating your past romance.
Chen Hao Feng.
Didn't you say,
you want to
beat me on stage fair and square?
Then why do you make up
some wild greens?
I would never believe
your lies.
It doesn't matter if you believe me or not.
You have to believe
Xiao Xia's godlike sense of taste.
Xiao Xia,
after tasting your wonton in old broth,
she realized your old broth
is lacking this wild greens.
Great!
Finally we've figured out why.
Now,
Yang Yang Yang won't lose
on the final competition.
Sister Xiao Xia,
that's not what I mean.
I mean.
We don't want Li Yang to lose either.
Why?
Why do you have to tell me this?
Wouldn't it be better
for you to keep me in the dark?
I'm not a beggar.
I don't want your
pity.
Li Yang,
the reason why I told you this today,
is not for pitiness.
You and your mom are members of the Chen Family.
Everyone in this family
all wants the best for the two of you.
Let bygone be bygone.
Li Yang,
you never have to
apologize to family.
No matter what happens,
I'll always be your brother.
Culinarily,
we can compete.
But on love life,
why do we have to compete?
Why can't we be close brothers again?
Sister Xiao Xia,
you and brother Hao Feng are so nice to Yang Yang Yang.
I just wish that stupid lamb
could be waken up sooner.
Otherwise, he'll betray your expectations.
Li Yang,
have you seriously thought about
all the customers the restaurants have lost recently.
Could it really be
because your old broth is missing some wild greens?
Today, I said all this to you,
is only because I want to let you know that
a missing ingredient can be added,
but if you are missing our restaurant spirit,
no matter how nicely decorated,
how pretty, it is,
it's all for show.
Xiao Xia, I,
I don't want to compete any more.
Hao Feng,
Today is your surgery day.
I want to stay here and be next to you.
Auntie, Yang Yang Yang,
today is the final competition.
I came here to,
to hope you will win.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Actually, today's competition,
no matter if you win or lose,
brother Hao Feng and sister Xiao Xia
never blamed you for anything.
You can become friends again.
Why do you have to determine a win and loss?
It's almost time.
Let's go.
Yang Yang Yang,
Xiao Xia's eye condition has worsened.
She's in-patient at the hospital.
Today is her surgery.
I got it.
Hao Feng.
I hope you can go and compete.
If you back out last second,
Li Yang will mistakenly think you don't respect him.
You'll hurt his feelings again.
No matter if the surgery is a sucess or not,
no matter if I will be able to see or not,
I can accept all of it.
Don't worry about me.
Don't worry that I'm skinnier.
Don't spoil me rotten.
Hao Feng, do you love me?
As long as you safely return,
then it's romantic.
Even if I can't see,
you will find ways to let me see.
You will hold my hand,
be with me to experience,
all the happiness and sadness.
Slowly love, no rush.
You are next to me.
I won't miss
every moment in our lives together.
Because
no matter when,
you will use all the ways possible,
to let me experience everything.
Hao Feng, promise me,
you have to go to that competition.
We still have our
little heaven.
Why is brother Hao Feng still not here?
Xiao Xia has surgery today.
Maybe he's not coming.
Hao Feng,
you are still here??
I'm leaving right now.
Dad,
there's something I have to ask you.
No matter what the outcome of her surgery is,
good or bad,
you have to tell me the truth.
Call me if anything happens, okay?
Okay. Just go and compete.
I'll take you.
Competition will start at 10 sharp.
At that moment,
if Hao Feng
can not be here,
then we'll treat it as forfeit.
Based on the terms of this competition,
Hao Feng has given up his right to compete.
This competition,
the winner is
He's here!
Subtitles are brought to you by the Delicious Love Team@Viki
Now, let me announce,
the competition has officially started.
Started, yay!
Now, is the third installment of Chen Family traditional specialties.
The earlier two, the contestants have tied at both.
Which means, this competition will name the winner.
Will it be Chen Li Yang,
or Chen Hao Feng?
Let's wait and see.
Li Yang, this competition,
you can not lose no matter what.
Hao Feng, please focus on your competition.
Don't worry about me.
I'm very calm.
If I have one wish,
that is to see you and Li Yang
shake hands together.
You are the only one that can help him pass this difficult time.
Hao Feng, you can do it.
Uncle Chen, how is Xiao Xia?
Still in surgery.
Doctor!
The patient has sepsis.
If we continue with the surgery, there are risks of death.
If we give up on the surgery, it will cause the patient to be blind for the rest of her life.
Whether we should continue with the surgery or give up,
please make up your mind as soon as possible.
Uncle Chen?
Let Hao Feng decide.
Let's have our judges sample the offerings.
Did something go wrong with Xiao Xia's surgery?
Because Chef Hao Feng left the competition stage,
it is seen as forfeit.
This Chen Family culinary competition's
winner is Chef Li Yang!
Yes!
Now let's ask Chef Chen Li Yang to say a few words please.
Starting today, you and Hao Feng can take turns to be the main chef.
That's uncle Chen and Hao Feng's
present for your 24th birthday.
You and your mom are members of Chen family.
Everyone in this family all want you to be well.
Let bygones be bygones.
No matter what happens, I'm always your brother.
You never have to apologize to family members.
I have lost this competition.
Li Yang!
The prize belongs to Chen Hao Feng.
Hao Feng.
Hao Feng, Xiao Xia's fate,
is in your hands.
Doctor, please go on with the surgery.
Hello?
brother Hao Feng, how's sister Xiao Xia's surgery?
Don't know yet.
I'm waiting here.
Sister Xiao Xia will be alright. She's so strong.
Nothing can defeat her.
She'll be fine.
Brother, I won't go there for now.
I'm so worried about Yang Yang Yang.
Please tell me any updates with Sister Xiao Xia.
What happened to Li Yang?
After you left, he conceded defeat in front of everyone.
Conceded defeat?
This competition,
we made the third specialty from the Chen Family,
Pearl in Chen Shell.
It used the old stock-based soup of Chen family's restaurant
to improve the taste and preserve the freshness,
but the old stock-based soup I had previously prepared,
lacked one ingredient.
It caused the taste change in the old stock-based soup of the Chen family's restaurant.
If I continued to use the old stock-based soup which has already changed in taste
to make the Pearl in Chen Shell,
I would undoubtedly have lost this competition.
It's Chen Hao Feng who, before this competition,
had given me the original recipe of the old stock-based soup
to complete a fair competition.
Chef Chen Hao Feng suddenly left the venue.
It's not at all because he did not respect the regulations of the competition,
but because
today, the woman he loves the most
is undergoing a very important surgery.
He'd rather abandon the competition
to be with the one he loves.
Talking about cooking,
Chen Hao Feng is more skilful than I am.
Talking about the truth,
he is more sincere than I am. Talking about the breadth of mind,
he'd rather give up a cheap victory
to ensure a fair competition for me.
No matter whether it is culinary skill, relationship or vigour,
I'm too far behind him.
For this competition,
I, Chen Li Yang utterly concede defeat.
I most willingly return the restaurant to him.
Second brother, Yang Yang Yang is in a really bad mood now.
Let's not talk at the moment.
Yang Yang Yang,
your performance during the competition today, was really very courageous.
Be sure not to lose confidence in yourself.
No matter what, in my heart, you're forever the greatest.
Xiao Xiao, I'm really fine.
You don't need to be with me. Go home a bit earlier, okay?
That won't do. I don't want to go home.
From since I was young, I've always been following you around.
I've already been following you around for 23 years.
I won't give up so easily.
Yang Yang Yang,
the competition's already over.
Just let bygones be bygones, okay?
That championship also doesn't prove anything.
With your current culinary skills, make a name for yourself. It's totally more than enough.
Xiao Xiao, I wish to leave this place.
Why? Where do you want to go?
I'm going anywhere I please. The me right now,
blindly pursue a win or a loss.
I've indeed forgotten the most basic passion and significance as a chef.
Don't talk about being the chef of the Chen family,
I can't even make it to fulfil all the basic conditions
of an ordinary chef.
I don't know what's the point of me remaining here.
Chen Li Yang, avoidance is not a way out.
From wherever you fall, that's where you should stand up.
I believe that you can definitely make it.
I will also be by your side to help you achieve your dreams.
- Let's together... - Xiao Xiao.
I, myself, created all this mess.
I must face it myself.
Thank you for always being with me.
I know that you really wish to help me.
However, it's very difficult for you to understand my current situation.
At home previously, I could depend on Uncle and Second Brother.
Later on, I could depend on my Mom.
However, right now, I really don't want to depend on anyone any more.
Xiao Xiao. You don't need to be with me the whole day.
Just let me be alone by myself, okay?
♪ It's still that same old me. ♫
♪But after shedding several litres of tears, I've become thin. ♫
Yang Yang Yang
From the time I was small till I'm all grown up,
I'd only consider everything for your own good.
Whether or not you're beside me,
whether you care for me or not,
I hope that you can live happily.
I like you.
Really, really like you very much.
I thought that with me being by your side
could bring you happiness,
could help you resolve issues and free you from worries.
♪At this moment don't anyone come to comfort ♫
♪ or embrace me. ♫ ♪ Just let me alone ♫
♪ experience the pain till I can't bear it ♫
But today,
I suddenly realise that I've been wrong.
As it turns out, I could only bring you trouble.
I can't help you in anything at all.
If it's like this,
I will leave you.
I won't appear before you again.
♪ People are by nature lonely. ♫
♪ I will completely wean myself off you. ♫
♪ I'm just fine being lonely.♫

Doctor, how did the surgery go?
The surgery was very, very successful.
As for how the outcome will be, we'll only know after the stitches have been removed.
At present, the patient is under observation.
After the effects of the anaesthesia have worn off, you can then go in and see her.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Dad, Xiao Hui, you've accompanied her for the whole day.
Go back a bit earlier to have a rest, okay?
Hao Feng, the doctor's already said just now, the surgery's been very successful.
Don't worry too much. It'd be better if you go back a bit earlier and take a rest.
Before the removal of stitches from Xiao Xia's eyes,
I won't be going anywhere.
Xiao Xia,
you've always been like a light-bearer.
Using your tolerance and kindness
illuminating the people around you,
bringing a firm conviction to everyone.
God will absolutely not have the heart
to strip you of what's left of your sight.
Xiao Xiao, has that Li Yang made you angry again?
That's right. Just one guess and it's that young fellow.
How is it that young fellow has become like this?
Causing our Xiao Xiao to return, not even calling her Dad or eating her meals.
Having a 'driven-to-distraction' kind of look.
Dad, I wish to leave this place. I wish to go abroad.
Go abroad?
However, today,
I suddenly realise that I've been wrong.
As it turns out, I could only bring you trouble.
I can't help you in anything.
Yang Yang Yang, this time, if I can live on,
it doesn't matter how you treat me next time,
I will watch over you my whole life.
I don't wish to manage other people's affairs. But I will manage yours.
From small, I grew up with you. I understand you the most.
The happiest thing in my life
is just to share your joys and sorrows.
Yang Yang Yang, you're the only one,
I've already set my mind on it,
I will like my whole life
and I will forever not change.
Don't tell me that during those passing years of having friendly relations,
I really don't even have any feelings at all towards Xiao Xiao?
Xiao Xiao, open the door. Xiao Xiao!
Xiao Xiao!
Uncle Lin, where is Xiao Xiao? I'm looking for Xiao Xiao.
She' already gone to the airport.
The airport?
This is what Xiao Xiao has left for you just before she went away.
Yang Yang Yang, when you read this letter,
I'll already be on the plane flying to France.
I've lots of things to say to you
but in a short period of time, I don't even know where to start.
I hope that you'll be happy.
I hope that I can see you being blissful.
But I'm actually at loss as to what to do.
Perhaps leaving you is just the greatest help I can give you.
I'm leaving.
Although I'm not by your side, I'll forever wish you the best.
In my heart, you're forever the person I love the most.
Preview... I racked my brains
and did so many things.
I just hoped that you could win.
What did you promise me at that time?
Everything you're doing now is just using Dad's name
to commit me to accomplishing your wild schemes.
My business has already filed a lawsuit with the court
to freeze the entire assets of your company.
I'm doomed, totally doomed.
