An Xi, you're the reason my heart is beating.
This is the sales contract for your old house in Pu Lang Village.
Why did you tell Yong Qing to buy my old house in Pu Lang Village.
As her older brother, why shouldn't I help her get what she wants?
Help me monitor what Yan Ze is up to lately.
Are you still waiting for your mother? Why not let me help you find her?
If you want me to believe you, give me you and Yong Qing's marriage certificate.
I won't be participating in the Russian project this time.
That girl, An Xi, really isn't good enough.
She's far from Yong Qing.
Not being alone with someone else's girlfriend
and not getting her drunk... These are common courtesies.
- Let me go-- - Wifey, let's go home--
I already told you that you're troublesome.
Today is the day to realize your heart's wishes.
If you want Uni-brow, I will give you Uni-brow.
Dad, I've got a boyfriend!
Why don't you reminisce about your dad alone?
My dad said that those who want to leave won't stay.
Those who want to stay won't leave.

[When I See You Again]
Episode 15
She's so cold.
Is Yo Qian's CEO always so cold to people?
Or is it just me?
Godmother, who were you talking to?
- She looks like-- - Yo Qian's girlfriend.
So
what did you say to her?
Your relationship with Xia Yo Qian is just a pretense.
You're not serious about it, right?
If you're not serious
it's best if you let go now.
- Godmother-- - Yong Qing.
I also want to help you get Xia Yo Qian.
But...
If you want me to believe you
you must give me a signed contract.
A signed marriage certificate between you and Yong Qing.
Xia Yo Qian rejected my offer.
Yong Qing, with your qualities
it won't be hard at all for you to choose another man
to be Xiao Yo Qian's substitute.
But
for other girls who are worse off than you
Xia Yo Qian is probably the best that she can find.
I'll consider it
my last favor to her.
Last favor to her?
Godmother, you're not going to let An Xi and Yo Qian be together, right?
Is it because you're giving up on Yo Qian?
Godmother, are you still doubting Yo Qian's loyalty to you?
He's doing the best he can at work--
Yong Qing.
Doubt is like a seed.
It's very difficult to get rid of it once it starts to sprout in your heart.
It doesn't matter how well he performs at work.
Even though I already have so much doubt about him
he's still willing to stay.
That only deepens my doubts about him.
Since I don't trust him anymore
it's best...
if he stays out of your life.
In order to celebrate the boss's adventure's seventh anniversary
we're hosting a Hawaiian-themed party this year.
There's beach volleyball...
icy cold drinks...
as well as Hawaiian pizza.
Most importantly, you get to dance...
with these beautiful girls.
We've done that before.
Whose idea was it?
But this year we have Hawaiian shirts
as well as these sexy curves.
I've been practicing ages for this, okay?
Let's party.
Ya Lu is on my team and Zhi Lin can go with An Xi.
Ya En will be the scorekeeper.
Let's go.
- Zhi Lin. - Give me one more chance.
Okay.
Ready, Zhi Lin?
- Get it! - Mei Wen, quick.
Here it comes!
Yeah!
I thought it was your ball.
He was too fast.
Ya En, we're supposed to be having fun.
Stop thinking about other things and play with us.
But I--
How about this?
You can serve for Mei Wen's team.
There's a first time for everything.
It doesn't matter if you fail.
- The most important thing is-- - Just enjoy it...
Go on, good luck.
- Come on. - You can serve.
- Go for it. - Be careful, Ya En.
Aim this way.
- Get ready. - Watch out for it.
An Xi, what has Mr. Xia been feeding you?
You've become so strong.
Mei Wen, what are you talking about?
I envy you so much.
I really want to take some love vitamins too.
You want love vitamins?
I'll give you a few punches instead.
Come back!
Help, Boss!
Your daughter is bullying me!
Dad, are you happy?
Every year, we would laugh so hard because of you.
I'm so lucky to have them around me.
Did An Xi go back to Pu Lang Village?
Here's the latest information on Mr. Hu's daily activities
people he's met, and places he's been.
I haven't noticed anything different.
Unlike you
our investigator said Mr. Hu is very good at keeping his privacy
whereas you're good at observing others.
Step outside, I need to speak to Yo Qian.
What happened between you and Godmother?
Why did she go to Pu Lang Village
and told me to give up on you?
The CEO went to Pu Lang Village today?
She took me to a beach at Pu Lang Village
for a site inspection.
A beach?
But the purification zone isn't on the beach.
She seemed very different today.
She talked briefly with An Xi at the beach
and touched the dirty surfboard that she would never normally touch.
Then she came to me and told me to give up on you.
She said you're the best man that An Xi can find
so we should just let you guys be together.
Hang on.
It's all making sense.
Godmother is already starting to get rid of you.
Just like all those people who had left her before.
You mean the CEO saw An Xi at the beach?
I'm talking about work.
But all you care about is An Xi.
I know you and Godmother very well.
I know you won't back down, but Godmother can ruin your career.
So the least you can do is to leave on good terms.
Otherwise, she'll make sure that you won't survive--
Yong Qing.
Thank you.
But if you're willing to sell me my old house
I'll be even more grateful.
Do you think that my concern for you is just a joke?
Or do you think it's just an excuse for me to come and see you?
- Do you think I'm a joke? - That's not what I think.
Whatever.
I don't care what happens in future.
It's none of my business, even if she ruins your life.
Now isn't the time for this project's land investigation.
But the CEO actually went to Pu Lang Village herself.
Isn't it weird?
She said she wanted to treat me to lunch and apologize to me
for being unfriendly to me at the office the other day.
The CEO isn't someone who apologizes easily.
Why would she show signs of giving in to An Xi?
Her dad...
How did her dad pass away?
I only said he left.
I never said he passed away.
She avoided eye contact with me
and even started asking about An Xi's father.
Yeah.
My birthday's on April 1st.
Yong Qing is also born on April 1st.
So the reason your dad built a motel at Pu Lang Village
was because he hopes that your mom would come back one day?
Lunar.
Lunar Maria.
Why didn't I think of it earlier?
CEO, are you okay?
Ever since she was born
I decided not to hold her hand.
So now
there's no need to do so either.
CEO, it's Jennifer.
Come in.
Wait.
Please wait outside.
Did you go to Pu Lang Village today?
Just as I thought
Yo Qing did go and remind you.
No wonder people say
women can never win over men when it comes to love.
Once you back down, you lose the entire battle.
An Xi...
is your daughter, isn't she?
It's true that I gave birth to her twenty-eight years ago.
When did you find out?
After Yan Ze went to Pu Lang Village.
Then why didn't you tell her?
Because she's not worth it.
I didn't know she was so low-class.
Be it her etiquette, speech, or education...
Nothing about her is presentable at all.
I don't need this kind of daughter.
A daughter doesn't exist to satisfy your needs.
Her existence
was brought about by you.
I've always had high respect for you
because of your decisiveness
and the efficiency with which you get things done.
But I only realize now
that you can discard everything apart from yourself like sandbags.
But sandbags are very heavy.
No matter how high you climb up
it'll come back one day to drag you down.
Sandbags?
Then let me tell you
who's going to be the first one that I'm going to discard.
From now on
you're no longer involved in the Izumo Construction's project.
Ask Jennifer to come in.
CEO.
Director.
CEO?
Go on.
How did the meeting with Russian Funds go?
In our last meeting...
Can I borrow your French dictionary?
I already told you not to come into my office all the time.
Then what should I do now?
I just came out of the CEO's office.
I've got the latest progress on the Russian Funds project.
Don't you want to know?
Grandpa.
Dad always lied to me
and said you work for the Asian Care Association.
That means
you must be a very kind person in his heart.
Mommy, if you're really that kind
can you take care of me?
Even just for a little while.
But then I found out
that she wasn't a kind volunteer at all.
She's just a mother who abandoned me.
The motel is the only connection I have with my mom.
If I leave
I'm worried that she won't be able to find me if she comes back.
Why didn't you tell her?
Because she's not worth it.
I didn't know she was so low-class.
Be it her etiquette, speech, or education...
Nothing about her is presentable at all.
I don't this kind of daughter.
Should I tell An Xi...
that the CEO...
is actually her mother?
An Xi set this alarm for me.
She's worried that I'll forget to take my medication.
Grandpa, here's some water.
What's wrong?
It's not because you miss An Xi, right?
- No. - Then what's with the frown?
Grandpa.
Did you know An Xi was brought up by her dad after her mom left her?
Yes, I know that.
Even though hope is slim
An Xi never gave up
and kept hoping that she'll find her mom one day.
Today...
Today, I accidentally found out
who her mom is.
But
her mom doesn't want to reunite with her at all.
So who's her mom?
It's my CEO.
What... but An Xi's nothing like her.
She's not someone that An Xi can handle.
I don't know if I should tell An Xi the truth.
I know she really wants to find her mom
but if she finds out that her mom doesn't want to have anything to do with her
she'll be very hurt.
No, don't tell her.
You mustn't tell her.
The higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment.
Since An Xi wants to find her mom so desperately
if she gets rejected coldly
she'll definitely feel even worse.
But An Xi told me not to lie to her again.
You're not lying to her.
You're just trying to protect her.
The reason you're hesitating is because you know better than anyone
what kind of a person your boss is.
I really don't want to see An Xi get hurt.
It's so comfortable.
I'm all alive again.
My tiny room is still the most comfortable place in the world.
Is it Mei Wen?
Come in.
Yo Qian, what are you doing here?
I miss you.
Stop exaggerating.
I've barely been away for a day.
Wait.
Don't come up here.
I hate that corner over there.
Why?
Come and sit over here.
Sit down.
You look really tired.
You could have just asked me to go back.
So did you have a good talk with Uncle today?
Uncle?
My dad hates it when people get too polite.
No wonder he splashed me with a huge wave
as soon as I said I've got a boyfriend.
Didn't you put in a few good words for me?
My dad never had time for a long-winded conversation.
Whenever I said, "Dad"
he would say, "Great waves today, I'm going."
Also, even before I graduated from university
he had left me for good.
The word "responsibility" was never in his vocabulary.
I wonder if that's the reason why my mom left him.
An Xi.
Why don't I tell you a bedtime story?
A bedtime story.
Why did you change the topic so quickly?
Come on, lie down.
- Yo Qian. - Just lie down.
There you go.
"Once upon a time there was a rich man."
"He had a lot of treasures but he had a blue beard and was very ugly."
- "Nobody wanted to get near him--" - Wait.
Were you serious when you said you wanted to tell me a bedtime story?
I'm not a kid anymore.
Fine, keep going.
"Bluebeard wanted to marry the daughter of a widow."
"But she didn't like him."
"So he gave the widow a lot of treasures"
"and married her daughter."
"One day, he needed to go out, so he gave his wife some keys and said"
"'You can open any door in the house'"
"'except for the room at the end of the corridor.'"
"'Otherwise, there will be unimaginable consequences--'"
Wait.
That's not how you read a story.
It's not interesting at all.
You should create a chilling atmosphere.
"'You can open any door in the house'"
"'except...'"
"'the room at the end of this corridor.'"
"'Otherwise, my fury...'"
"'will be unimaginable.'"
Hang on.
It's meant to be a bedtime story, not a ghost story.
Bedtime stories should be warm.
Then why did you choose "Bluebeard?"
"The wife got curious and opened the door."
"She saw blood all over the floor."
"and the bodies of Bluebeard's ex-wives hanging on the wall."
Tell me.
Why did you come all the way here today
to tell me a bedtime story?
Did I tell you about my mom
when I got drunk the other day?
Oh my god.
I'm the biggest blabbermouth in Pu Lang Village.
Is there anything else that I haven't told you yet?
An Xi.
It's okay if you can't find your mom.
You still have me.
Let me be your closest family.
I'll never let you feel lonely for the rest of your life.
I promise.
Thank goodness he didn't wake up.
The Bible says if someone kisses you on the right cheek
you should give her your left cheek too.
That's not what the bible said.
In order to prove society's justice
my left cheek...
Are you a freedom fighter?
I have a dream.
All right, now that I've kissed your left cheek
you can now open your eyes and wake up.
Wait.
Here's the VIP seat for Pu Lang Village's play.
Tickets are NT$1,000 each.
Here.
Hang on, are you eighteen years old yet?
Then sit down.
Hey, this is my room.
How can you walk in and laugh at me?
Why didn't you knock first?
We didn't do it on purpose.
We thought you were alone.
Yeah, I wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready.
How did I know it's buy-one-get-one-free?
Mr. Xia.
An Xi is only back for one day and you're already missing her.
I can't breathe...
Stop exaggerating.
Yo Qian, you're really worrying too much.
Apart from Ya Lu
Jiang Hai Kuo's the only guy who's popular at Pu Lang Village now.
How can he compare to you?
You've got nothing to worry about at all.
An Xi really has nowhere to run to.
- Smells good. - Here you go.
- No milk or sugar. - Thank you.
Go and make your own coffee.
I'll drink water, coffee makes you age.
Sorry.
Yo Qian, have some salad.
Thank you.
This mash potato is very smooth.
It's really nice, try some.
- Eat something else. - Shut up.
Try this sausage.
It's really yummy.
Isn't it nice?
Yeah.
Why aren't you guys eating?
We're full already.
But you haven't even started eating.
You're not the same anymore.
When we mentioned Yo Qian before, this person...
I won't mention any names...
she would get so shy.
But now she's put all the food onto his plate.
To hell with our friendship.
Bull crap.
Why are you two so angry?
Look how understanding Ya En is.
That juice was supposed to be mine.
See? Look how cruel you are to us.
How could you take away a sick person's juice?
My heart really hurts.
All right, I'll get to the point.
I've decided to let Yo Qian go back to Taipei himself.
I'll stay here and catch up with my best friends.
- Then I'll come here after work. - No...
You two don't have to stay here.
Otherwise, we'll all be blinded by your happiness.
You can go back to Taipei with him and remote control this motel.
Hang on.
I'm the boss.
How did I get kicked out by my staff?
I'm actually happy that they kicked you out.
I hope you didn't bribe them again.
Oh yeah, I could have done that.
Why didn't you remind me earlier?
This is not the way out of Pu Lang Village.
- Did you go the wrong way? - This is the way.
I've always wanted to come here with you again.
Because this is where you took me
when we met for the first time.
I'm the most special guy in the world!
Everyone who bullies me can go to hell!
Hey!
I'm the happiest girl in the world!
Uni-brow and Xia Yo Qian is actually the same person!
It's like winning the lottery!
There's another reason why I wanted to come here.
That's because it's very close to the sky and the sea.
Hello, An Xi's dad!
I'm Xia Yo Qian!
I really like your daughter!
Please pass her on to me!
I'll do my very best to make her happy!
Look, the weather's perfect
and the sea is really calm.
I guess your dad must have said yes.
Thank you.
I'll also do my best to make you happy.
Da Yu, cancel the meeting.
We don't need to handle Izumo's project anymore.
Also, ask everyone to pass their information on to the CEO's secretary.
Director, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Were you waiting in my office to tell me something?
Yes, we noticed something strange.
It's about Mr. Hu.
Go on.
You know how the CEO appointed Jennifer to handle the Russian Funds project?
Some colleagues have said they've seen her going into Mr. Hu's place after work.
- Ask Jennifer to come here. - Okay.
Hi, Da Yu.
Director Xia wants to see me?
Okay, I'll come over right now.
Thank you.
Did you want to see me, Director?
Yan Ze.
Did he start dating you
after you took over the Russian Funds project?
However
he doesn't want to let anyone know about your relationship, right?
We'll soon be announcing our relationship.
Your relationship will never be publicized.
Hello, CEO.
Come in.
CEO.
Was Director Xia looking for you just then?
- That's right. - What for?
He...
You're no longer in his department
so he's not your supervisor anymore.
Tell me.
How come the CEO is suddenly asking me about this?
No matter what happens, I can't let her doubt me and Yan Ze.
Director Xia wanted to ask me
about our progress in the Russian Funds project.
So I was right to doubt him.
Director, do you think Mr. Hu is only dating Jennifer
because of the Russian Funds project?
Yan Ze is someone who would only do things that benefits himself
whether it be work or relationships.
The CEO lets him handle all her legal documents.
Although he doesn't handle any particular project
he's very clear about the progress of every project.
- Director-- - Listen, Da Yu.
Try and find out who the contact person at Russian Funds is
and whether someone's already starting to purchase the land at Pu Lang Village.
Okay.
That's so funny.
- Yo Qian, you're back. - Grandpa.
Have you had dinner?
I'll cook you something quickly.
Okay, I'll eat in the study.
What are you reading?
Nothing, just work stuff.
Is it a tricky project?
Very tricky.
If my guess is right
our company might soon be faced with quite a big crisis.
But the CEO's not going to believe me.
Why not?
She loves to doubt people.
What if you try to give in to her?
It won't work.
You guys are so weird.
Why do you always doubt everything?
How are you supposed to buy food from the market like this?
If someone at the market gives you a winter melon
and tells you it's very nice
then all you need to do is buy it and cook it at home
and then you'll know whether it's really nice or not.
Usually, when someone tells you that the winter melon's very nice
then you should think about how he can prove that it's really nice.
If he offers to sell it to you for a cheaper price
then you should doubt even more
as to why he offered you a cheaper price.
That means there must be something wrong with the winter melon.
How come everything always sounds so simple
whenever it's spoken from your mouth?
What's wrong?
If I was Miss Hu
I would do everything I can to prove to your boss that you're a nice winter melon.
But since your boss doesn't like me
I can't help you at all.
I really don't think
she'll ever like someone like me for the rest of her life, right?
An Xi.
Stop worrying about the CEO.
Who cares if it's a good or bad winter melon?
I just want you to be happy.
I should be the one comforting you.
But why are you comforting me instead?
As long as you're happy every day
then I'll also be happy.
Grandpa.
Is there something that Yo Qian's especially interested in?
He likes studying.
I don't mean his hobbies.
Is there anything that can cheer him up immediately?
Yes, Yo Qian loves sweet tofu soup.
Sweet tofu soup?
When we used to be poor, Yo Qian didn't want to waste any money.
Only when he did badly on an exam or felt really upset
would he buy himself a sweet tofu soup.
He even needed a plan to buy a sweet tofu soup?
After we moved to Taipei
he even found a shop that had the same taste as the shop back at home.
However, it's a little far.
That's okay, as long as he likes it
even if it's on an island, I'd still swim across to buy it for him.
[Director, I've already sent out the graphs on operating costs]
[for the purification project with Russian Funds.]
Director.
An Xi asked me to bring you this.
It's from that popular sweet tofu soup place.
There are always long lines.
- She also got me one. - Where's An Xi?
She just left because she didn't want to interrupt your work.
Director.
One of them is mine.
Please.
Since I can't help him with anything else
hopefully, Yo Qian will cheer up after he eats it.
Sorry.
Yan Ze?
Yan Ze.
Hi, An Xi.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Remember I told you to come to me whenever you're upset?
Okay, then let's meet up after work.
Okay.
Remember I told you to come to me whenever you're upset?
Okay, then let's meet up after work.
Okay.
Thank you.
- How come you look so upset? - I'm okay.
Director.
Don't be so upset.
It can't be that bad, okay?
I'll go into the office first.
Let me know when and where later.
- Okay. - Bye.
The coffee shop outside your office is really nice.
They even lent us a picnic blanket.
It's not such a big deal.
I'm just going to talk to Yan Ze because he's a bit upset.
Don't be like this.
I don't have many friends in Taipei anyway.
I have nothing against you being friends with him.
But can you stay away from Yan Ze for now?
Why?
Is it because of your situation with your boss right now?
Is it because your boss thinks Yan Ze's a good winter melon?
Not just that.
Yan Ze...
He's been a bit weird lately.
That's because he's upset about something.
You're not jealous, are you?
Don't worry, Yan Ze's not my cup of tea.
The kind of guys that I like are geeks who don't like to smile.
Geeks?
The one and only geek.
Stop picking on me.
Here you go.
I waited in line for a whole morning for it.
What?
- Eat it yourself. - Sweet tofu soup.
Sweet tofu soup tastes much better when it's being fed by your girlfriend.
Quickly eat up.
You're so exaggerating.
- Is it nice? - Yeah, I want more.
I didn't say you can eat it.
All right, all finished.
- Happy now? - Very happy.
I'll put this in the trash bin.
I already told you
that I have a backup copy.
You're so mean.
What about the kisses you promised me?
You're mistaken.
I was worried that you would forget your phone.
Really?
Yeah.
Yo Qian.
Grandpa seems to get tired quite easily lately.
Do you want to take him for a medical checkup?
Okay, I'll ask Da Yu to make an appointment for me.
The weather is so nice and comfortable today.
Good weather
is often the calmness before a storm.
Why are you always so pessimistic?
That's how I can be well-prepared.
- I'll put this in the bin first. - I'll help you.
It's okay.
Director.
Just as you expected
a lot of Pu Lang Village's land doesn't belong to Jiang Hai Kuo anymore.
They've been transferred to many other people's names.
These people are probably just borrowed accounts.
Looks like Russian Funds is being a two-sided player in this project.
On one hand, they're buying the land that's going to be needed for this project
and then selling it to Ocean for a skyrocketing prices.
It was the CEO's decision to set the purification site at Pu Lang Village.
If Russian Funds wants to buy the land in advance
that means there must be a spy in our company.
Could it be Jennifer
or even...
I really hope it's not him.
I can finally leave this place.
I've already spent long enough sitting in this corner.
It's way too crowded.
What's the story with that girl at lunch today?
I told you not to come in and out of my office all the time.
What's the big deal?
Everyone's left already.
It's about time for our relationship to go public.
You're going to take me to Russian Funds with you, right?
What's that suppose to mean?
This is an office, don't be like this.
Hu Yan Ze, are you trying to break up with me?
Why would you say something so weak?
I like women who're confident.
Where's your confidence?
Perhaps you're starting to feel you're losing control of me.
I'll make sure you realize that you can never leave me.
Don't forget that we're on the same boat.
Why would I forget that?
Don't forget that we're on the same boat.
Why would I forget that?
Hi, I would like to order a bunch of roses.
That's right.
You're not so stupid after all.
At least you know girls like flowers.
Yo Qian.
You're back.
Grandpa.
Just now
An Xi went out after she got a call from Yan Ze.
Where did she go?
[San Min Preschool]
Here's your drink.
Drink slowly.
- Go and play. - Careful...
That's it, good girl.
You always say you hated your dad's job.
But you still come back to visit them whenever you have time.
It's not that I want to come and play with them.
I just want to try and see if I can feel what my dad feels.
I want to know the reason
why he abandoned his own child for kids that have nothing to do with him.
That because he knows you'll take care of yourself.
In this world
there are a lot of children who're struggling for food and water.
So our sorrow is actually nothing compared to their struggles.
Right?
Yan Ze.
Do you know how Yo Qian has been doing at work lately?
He seems to be very troubled about work lately.
Is your CEO giving him a hard time?
If you want to help him
perhaps you can try pleasing our CEO.
Pleasing her?
I've thought about that already.
If I go, it'll only make things worse.
You should at least give it a try.
People change, right?
Yo Qian wasn't like this before he met you either.
I can help you find an opportunity if you want.
All right.
You'll just have to put up with his bad temper when things don't go well at work.
You're welcome to complain to me then.
I definitely will.
Look who's here.
What's the matter with you?
Why do you always ask somebody else's girlfriend to go out with you?
Yo Qian, what's wrong?
It's okay.
Sorry.
Some feelings are only understood by people who've been through the same thing.
But if you don't mind, it's okay for me--
I do mind.
It's okay, they're just talking about work.
- Who wants to have a drink? - Me...
An Xi.
I'll wait for you outside.
Here you go.
He doesn't really think I'm some bad guy, right?
Yo Qian has probably been very stressful lately.
I hope you don't mind.
Oh yeah, I think I'm starting to hear some news about your mom.
I can't guarantee it's good news.
So don't have too high an expectation.
Anyway, thank you so much.
- I have to go home now. - Me too.
Bye.
An Xi, wait.
- Are you Mr. Hu Yan Ze? - Yes.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
They're for you.
- Why? - I was going to give them to the kids.
But they came a bit too late.
Take them home first.
You can bring them back when we come here next time.
I don't want to buy another bunch.
Okay, not a problem.
Why didn't you ask the florist to individually wrap them?
I didn't, I just told them I wanted roses.
They must have thought I was buying them for my girlfriend.
It's actually very nicely wrapped.
Yeah, it's really pretty.
An Xi.
It's not really the right time to agree with me.
All right, you better go.
Your boyfriend is getting jealous.
- Yo Qian-- - Let's talk when we get home.
- Bye. - Bye.
Yan Ze, thanks for looking for my mom for me.
You're welcome, we're--
Lonely friends.
I'll look after the flowers for you.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
Xia Yo Qian is not stupid.
He must have sensed that something's wrong.
But how much does he know?
If I find my mom
I wonder what I should do with her.
Why does Yan Ze want to help you find your mom?
Because we're friends.
That's why he offered to help me.
Did you know
that Yan Ze has a lot of friends?
I know that.
So you're only one of his many friends.
That's different.
Everyone has secrets that they would rather keep to themselves.
Just as I didn't want to mention Uni-brow before
he also doesn't want others to know about his secrets.
What secrets?
His dad.
Did you know when his parents got divorced
his dad never fought for his custody.
I know exactly how that feels.
Just as my mom has left me after I was born.
Neither of us had a chance to make a choice.
It's such a terrible feeling.
But he should be responsible for his own emotions.
Look at you.
I knew you'd say that.
Not everyone is as emotionally independent as you are, okay?
Since I have you, as well as friends like Mei Wen
I can always talk to someone whenever I'm upset.
But Yan Ze doesn't.
Yan Ze's got Yong Qing.
Miss Hu is another heartbreak for Yan Ze.
It's Miss Hu's dad that Yan Ze resents.
So why would he talk to Miss Hu about him?
Then what about his mom?
All she cares about is her lavish life.
Otherwise, why would Miss Hu be so close to your boss
while Yan Ze's so lonely?
See?
For as long as you've know Yan Ze
I still know him better than you do.
If he wants people to understand him
then he must open his heart.
But if he doesn't do that
he must have a reason.
Similarly, if he opens his heart to you
then you must think--
I know what you're going to say.
I've already thought about that.
So?
If he knows how I feel
then I'll also know how he feels.
Since he knows how I feel
of course he's willing to share his feelings with me.
I was actually quite excited about finding my mom
until you started talking about this.
You're such an expert at spoiling the atmosphere.
I know you're very willing to trust people.
It's a very nice quality.
But it can also be a bad quality.
I'm not trying to change who you are.
But no matter what happens
can you please spare two seconds
to think about yourself and protect yourself?
Can you do that?
Let me help you.
Are you waiting for me?
When did you find out that An Xi is CEO's daughter?
So you know about it as well.
I don't know why you're starting to get close to An Xi.
But if you're trying to use the CEO
or An Xi to help you with your career
you might as well give up now.
The CEO is not planning to reunite with her daughter at all.
But she's not just an ordinary daughter.
We're talking about An Xi.
Don't you think that An Xi can conquer the CEO?
The CEO only wants a daughter who's exactly the same as her.
All you have to do is turn An Xi into just being like the CEO.
It's worth a try.
An Xi might surprise you.
Even if she reunites with An Xi
what then?
What have you got in mind?
All you have to do is turn An Xi into just being like the CEO.
Even if she reunites with An Xi
what then?
What have you got in mind?
An Xi will always be An Xi.
She doesn't need to change for anyone.
I would hate to see her getting hurt for people who don't care about her.
That goes for you, too.
An Xi treats you as her true friend.
She'll never accept you as a two-faced person.
What do you mean by a two-faced person?
If An Xi had not told me yesterday
I never would have expected...
It's your turn.
Yan Ze.
If you didn't want to play chess, you shouldn't have asked me to come out.
I still have a lot of work to do.
I also wanted to be like you
and be a businessman.
Then just do it.
But my stepfather wanted me to study law.
Did you have to listen to him?
I didn't really have a choice.
Put back the pawn that you just took from me.
You can't regret your move.
Rules are rules.
I was the one who taught you how to play chess.
So I should get one chance at setting the rule.
Put it back.
Rules...
are rules.
But real life isn't like this.
Listen, in real life
whoever does you a favor
has the right to set the rule.
If he wants you to be his slave for the rest of your life
then you'll have to be a slave for the rest of your life.
Bro, why are you still sitting here?
Dad's left and all our relatives are here.
Mom doesn't know what to do.
Bro, can you come back and help us?
It'll be okay.
So you've always resented being treated differently from Yong Qing.
So you've found that out as well.
Is that why you've never treated Yong Qing as your own sister?
Yong Qing's dad...
that man
asked me to go to his bedside just before he died.
I thought he had something sentimental to say to me
or had wanted to thank me for my efforts for the past twenty years.
But no.
Not even one word of thanks.
I remember this was what he said to me.
"Don't ever forget who gave you the life that you're having now."
"So you better take good care of Yong Qing for me."
"Otherwise, even after I die"
"I'll still be able to take everything from you."
He actually made his oppression sound like pity.
He took other people's efforts for granted.
He never wanted to share anything good with me.
But it's always me when he needs someone to help him.
Even until the day that he died.
So tell me.
What if it was you?
Can you really treat Yong Qing as your own sister?
At least
I won't hide my true feelings from Yong Qing.
Very well said.
Do you think everyone else can be as free as you are?
Let me tell you.
The only reason people put up with you
is because of your ability.
Otherwise, who would want to tolerate someone like you?
Even the CEO is willing to give you so many chances.
If you feel the world's unfair to you
then be a man and fight for yourself.
But An Xi and Yong Qing
treat you as their true friend and brother.
You shouldn't use them.
Xia Yo Qian, don't say that to me.
Don't tell me that you've never thought about
using the fact that An Xi's the CEO's daughter.
The CEO will only hurt An Xi.
If you still consider An Xi as your friend
then you shouldn't tell her about her relationship with the CEO.
Why shouldn't I?
Hu Yan Ze.
How can you build your success on Ocean's loss?
A brokenhearted An Xi
compared to Ocean's loss.
Which is more important?
Do you know what you're doing?
I want to be in love and I want to go jogging.
There are many things that I want to try and do.
Just give me one chance.
