Good Times
Episode 9
You did it on purpose didn't you? You just do not want to get married to me!
This is where our thinking is different,
When I am met with a problem, I first think of taking legal actions.
Solving the problem privately comes second.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
Mum, where did you go? Why did you take so long?
I went to the Yuan Hao's house, seeking for some justice.
Mum! Why didn't you discuss it with me before you went?
I just can't get over what happened without doing something.
Anyways, I gave Yuan Hao's dad the last warning,
and he agreed to apply for the visa.
Anyways, I don't care what it takes, Yuan Hao and his father are coming with us to the United States for the marriage.
Mum, what right do you have in making these decisions for me?
Is this not the reason we came back to China?
But what if I say... I don't want to get married anymore?
Shanshan, are you conscious of what you are saying?
Do you think it is adequate going around saying such things?
I am very conscious.
I've been thinking about this for days.
What happened tonight with the ring was just the last straw.
This is not where the problem is at.
I suddenly feel like...
I don't want to get married to Yuan Hao.
So you waited for ten years for nothing?!
What about all the effort you put in coming back here?
Shanshan, I'm really am going to die one day because of you.
It's one thing if you say it behind closed doors.
Then please don't force me.
Getting married is a conscious decision, but I can't ignore my intuition.
All these days I've been back, thing's haven't felt right.
The marriage is not that big of a deal honestly.
Anyways, I will not beg him to marry me.
I am not willing to hurt my pride.
Hey.
I'm so mad.
I'm so mad. Jeez I'm so mad.
Why are you here?
What are you doing here?
I couldn't fall asleep so I came out for some air.
Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend? What are you doing here?
I just came out from her house. What a coincidence.
Yeah, what a coincidence.
Oh right, I didn't get to thank you for pretending that day.
You don't have to thank me. It wasn't a biggie.
No, they loved you. They kept talking about you when they got home.
Now it's alright.
They won't push me to get married for another half year.
Your parents are good people.
They are. I think they're the best mom and dad in the world.
I do feel bad about tricking them.
But I really don't have a choice.
Then you're wrong.
You and that...uh, Zun Jia have known each other for a while?
You never got them to meet once.
Thank god they didn't meet.
Or else how would I tell them about that disgusting thing he did?
But you can't keep it from you parents forever.
If I can hide it for one more day then I will, I have enough things to stress about
Stop stressing, you already earned some from dinner yesterday
What did I gain?
You gained a family member! I promised your dad
that I would treat you as a family member.
Your tone of voice makes it sound like you're regretting it.
Although it was because I drank a little too much,
I'm a man. I keep my promises.
That's so manly.
Hey, let's be buddies.
Okay. You're really man-like anyway.
Not going to hold a grudge against you.
Right now, I'm going through a valley in my life.
There always have to be people there for you when you're in the valley.
Thank you, buddy.
Valley? Wasn't it just a breakup?
How good is it to be single? Why be so down?
That's right! It's just a breakup. What's done is done.
But today at the hospital I saw them again, and I got scolded by that lady again!
Do you know? I have a mouth and I can't talk. I also have to put a show on in front of them!
Hey buddy, can you even understand that?
What was Zeng Mian doing when the woman was yelling at you?
They were cheating, what can he say?
Then I don't understand.
What did you even see in him? Aren't you a ophthalmologist?
Why are you scolding me when I'm like this?
You are putting me down. How are you a brother?
You're missing someone in your life to scold you!
Someone to really scold you.
How about this. I'll go the hospital tomorrow,
and I'll give him a lesson. I'll help you relieve some of that pent up frustration.
No you won't.
Why? I can fight pretty well even though it doesn't look like it.
You can't win against him.
Even if I can't win, I still have to go. Or else how can I call myself your buddy?
What if he fights you and you get injured?
It's okay, it's the hospital. I'd be close to the ER.
Also there are so many doctors there you know. They wouldn't leave me alone.
Even if I did get hurt, I could sue him.
I can find lawyers and sue him.
What lawyers do I need?
Even if I was hurt by him. It would be me hurting him so bad.
I'll let everyone in the hospital see the real Zeng Mian.
Don't pretend to be dumb. I won't let him hurt you!
From today on, I'm your buddy! I won't let anyone hurt you!
Do you get it? Did you understand what I just said? Remember okay...
Don't stop me now, I'm going tomorrow.
If I get hurt,
and I get such a great buddy,
I think it's worth it.
Thank you.

I told you not to move around. Why are you still moving around?
If feels stuffy if I stay at home all day.
I went out for some exercise,
and I brought home breakfast.
You just don't listen.
Yuan Hao, if you have time today...
What is it?
I want you to bring me to get my passport work done.
You really want to go to the United States?
Didn't I block this situation last night?
You can hide today, but you can't hide forever.
You and Shanshan are going to the United States to get married and settle down.
And if I stay alone here...
What's the rush? I haven't promised to marry her yet.
Yuan Hao, it's the same as I said before.
You've been together for ten years.
You still have to communicate with her.
How many ten years does a girl get?
It's alright if a man is older.
But it's different for women.
Last night, I got my picture and documents ready.
If you don't have time, I can go by myself.
Dad. You don't have compromise for me.
-Can you really leave Shanghai? Truthfully,
I don't want to marry Shanshan right now.
Did you come home late last night because of a fight?
Girls urge more. Their tempers are probably bigger.
But you are a guy, you should be kind to her.
This isn't a question of me being kind to her.
This time when she came back, I found that we really don't get along that well anymore.
You know a lot can change in ten years.
Our feelings from ten years ago have changed a lot.
We're really not suitable as a couple.
It's not as bad as you're saying.
Dad. You have to believe your son.
I'm not an irresponsible person.
I can take of this.
Don't apply for a passport.
The size of this house is perfect.
The renovations are new and I can see the Huangpu River from the window.
It's pretty good.
Miss Mao, let me tell you.
When you're looking for a house, it's all about fate.
All of a sudden you wanted to find a two bedroom apartment, and your standards were so high!
Where would I go to find it for you?
It's a good thing I have a friend in another company who has this house in his hands.
I had to fight for this one.
Now that you're satisfied, I can take a breather.
No, there's something I have to tell you.
The price is a little too high.
I'm just a normal doctor, and my best friend is here in Shanghai to find a job. We're not rich people.
We are renting, so we have to be very careful and thorough.
Miss Mao, you're still trying to beg me?
Where else would you find a house with this style and quality?
If I keep lowering the price, I can't face the landlord.
You're so smart aren't you?
Taking ten percent off isn't that big of a deal.
But to me it's the electrical bill, the water bill, and my transportation costs.
You need to help me out a little here.
Why are you riding a motorcycle?
My car's in the shop.
You're still the same as before. Looking cool and all that.
Didn't I say you shouldn't ride motorbikes before?
It's too dangerous.
I rarely ride it.
Why did you bring me to the school?
I graduated ten years ago, and I never came back to visit.
I just wanted you to come look around with me.
It's my first time in ten years as well.
Now that it's vacation, the school is pretty quiet.
But I still like the noisy campus from back then.
So you're dressed just like a student?
I want to find the feelings from before.
You don't match at all with your outfit.
That's what I thought as well.
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
You! Get out!
Yuan Hao what are you doing? Get down!
Every time I see you, I feel emotional and have to calm myself.
You're so annoying.
Look at you all sweaty. You should have changed.
Why are you always wearing this shirt?
Two-three is just like Love Shan. I want to wear it everyday. (A play on words)
So foolish.
How long will you love me?
For my whole life of course.
Did you know that everything on this earth,
has an expiration date?
Love isn't any different.
I know. Don't you just love to watch Wang Jia Wei's movies?
That is a verse from Chongqing Jungle.
Our love is guaranteed for ten thousand years.
I don't want ten thousand years.
Can you love me for ten years?
What do you mean?
I want to study abroad in the United States.
If you still love me in ten years,
then let's get married.
I can't believe we've lasted for ten years.
These ten years, is it that neither of us has met someone that moved our heart,
or is it that we keep holding onto
the fantasy of love?
I think it's the latter.
Neither of us broke our promise.
I worked hard in the United States for ten years.
During my hardest times, I would work many jobs a day.
Some people laughed at me and asked why I worked so hard.
I would tell them,
"I want to marry my boyfriend."
These past ten years, I've told the people around me that
"I have a girlfriend. Her name is Shanshan.
She's waiting for me in the United States."
These ten years,
I bought a house and I got a green card.
My job is good too.
It seems that I have succeeded.
You've done pretty well too through your own efforts.
You've become an executive at your company.
Everything looks so perfect.
But now that we talk about marriage,
you keep running away.
Don't you think we've both changed?
Do you remember what I told you here, ten years ago?
I remember.
You told me that everything on this earth has an expiration date.
And that love is no exception.
So all these years, I was imagining.
we were completely in love.
These ten years, we've been dating in a fantasy love.
I regard this as a symbol of our love.
And now we've woken up from the dream right?
Why did you bring me here?
When you can no longer have something,
the only thing you can do is not forget.
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
I want to return to America.
Do you hate me?
I don't hate you.
I've thought it through.
You're right.
We've both changed.
At first, I didn't want to believe this reality.
Today, I can finally accept it.
I've already mailed the lawyer and told him to give up the hotel case.
I know you compromised for me.
There are some things that can be compromised,
and some things can never be compromised.
Did I disappoint you a lot?
Truthfully, yes.
But now there's no use in talking about it.
We aren't people who will give in
I'm going back because I can't get used to things here.
You know,
my boss was so happy to hear that I'm going back early.
She might even give me a raise!
My next goal is director.
Then is your mom going back with you?
She likes Shanghai.
She'll just stay here a little longer.
I'm sorry.
What are you thinking?
If we're breaking up, it's me dumping you.
Yuan Hao,
you waited ten years.
It shows that you're still a really reliable person.
So you don't have to be sorry to me.
Thank you.
Promise me! Once I'm back in the United States,
you have to take care of my mom!
I promise you!
You can't use those disposable chopsticks!
You can't use those spoons either!
I promise you!
Brush your teeth after you eat!
Go to the dentist every half a year!
I promise you!
You can't ride motorbikes in the future!
It's so dangerous!
I promise you!
Let's break up!
You thought this too right?
Thank you,
for letting me say the words first.
I'm sorry to you!
You didn't do anything to be sorry for!
I'm letting go because I love you!
Yuan Hao!
I love you!
What? You broke up?
That's right! We broke up.
We broke up peacefully.
But Yuan Hao and I talked about it.
If we can't be a couple, we'll always be best friends.
You're being so silly!
If you can't be a couple, how can you be friends?
Tell me, did you bring it up or was it him?
That's not important anymore.
Mom, I think you're right.
He's not on my level.
I need a man I can look up to.
But Shanshan,
you were in a relationship with him for ten years!
Your youth was spent on it.
Breaking up with him now is your loss.
Then what can I do?
He doesn't want to go to the United States, and I don't want to stay in Shanghai.
We don't want to bother each other.
So breaking up was the best choice.
How did it end up like this?
I thought the worst case
would be you two getting married and going back and forth.
How can you not even get married?
Mom, you're not worried that your daughter can't get married right?
No,
but I liked Yuan Hao,
and I get along well with his father.
I thought it would be so beautiful.
You two can't just sacrifice a little?
He doesn't want to compromise, and I don't want to sacrifice.
No regrets to the end, I guess this is the highest level of breaking up.
Why does it feel like my daughter's been abandoned by someone?
It's not like that.
There's something weird about this.
Tell mom the truth. Does Yuan Hao already have another woman?
Mom, don't think that way.
It has nothing to do with this. He's not that type of person.
Anyway, I've already booked my flight tickets. I'll go back first,
and you can stay a little longer
with your Shanghai friends. Is that alright?
Shanshan,
you were with him for ten years.
A ten year old love!
You agree?
Your mom doesn't agree!
Mom, I've thought it through. What can't you accept?
I just can't!
I'm not willing!
That Yuan Hao!
I'll go find him tomorrow and make him tell me.
My daughter!
Shanshan. Shanshan...
Shanshan, are you okay?
Mom, I'm okay.
How about this, don't take me to the airport tomorrow.
Or else you'll cry.
Don't find Yuan Hao okay?
And don't find Uncle Yuan either okay?
And Yuan Hao has promised me that he'll take care of you here.
Who wants him to take care of me?
Shanshan. The more kind you are,
the more I think you've been wronged.
Mom, I haven't been wronged.
I made the decision myself. No one forced me right?
-Is that right? -Yes.
Hello?
I'm here.
You're late, I've already past the gate.
You missed me again.
I won't miss you this last time
You still came?
Why is your outfit so similar to those working at the airport?
So after we broke up,
in your eyes, I've become a stranger?
Don't worry. In my eyes, you'll never become a stranger.
It's not too late,
come back with me.
Start over again?
Can you?
Are you being serious or not?
I'm joking with you.
Look how scared you were.
How about this, we'll be like old times.
Mail each other once a week, and call if there's time.
Also,
if you've got a girlfriend, tell me right away.
I'm very generous. I'll bless you two.
You too.
Take off the wedding ring.
Let me keep a souvenir.
I leave this as a souvenir.
I'll take this as my souvenir.
I never thought that we'd still exchange rings.
It looks pretty good.
I really like it.
It's Titanic's last stop.
I hope it's not our last meeting.
We'll see each other again?
Of course.
Next time I'll bring my boyfriend with me.
Surname Yuan
Your son abandoned my daughter, how are we going to settle this?
Wh...what are you saying? I didn't hear clearly.
Who abandoned who?
Your son threw my daughter aside,
the two of them broke up!
How come I don't know this? Yuan Hao never mentioned it to me.
Stop pretending to be confused.
Have you guys been in on this together? You've been waiting for this day all along!
It's not like you didn't know, from the bottom of my heart
I had agreed to their marriage.
Don't give me that crap!
Saying it so nicely, have you even processed your passport yet?
If you were more determined, Yuan Hao wouldn't dare ignore what you say. It's all your fault!
Ok look, Lao Pang, you can't say it like that.
Then how do you want me to say it?
I've said it before. Let the kids handle their own matters. Now that there's a problem
you come and accuse me, that's too unreasonable!
If the top is messed up, the bottom will be too.
I'm not going to just leave it like this!
Lao Pang, calm down,
I'll ask Yuan Hao what happened when he comes back.
Maybe things can still be fixed.
She already flew, how can this be fixed?
You lived to this age for nothing!
Why do your words have to be so cruel?
My daughter's youth has been wasted on your family.
Can't I just vent my anger out at somebody?
Can't I?
- Wait for me here.- Ok.
President An,
since there's no one here, we can speak openly.
Sit.
Today I came to ask you something.
What is it that you want to do with my daughter?
President An,
I've already explained the situation clearly to Aiqi.
Why?
Because of the girl who slapped you in front of everyone and publicly humiliated you?
No, you've misunderstood. This has nothing to do with Mao Xiao Chun.
Then I don't understand.
Aiqi likes you so much,
she needs you so much,
and I've already agreed for the two of you to be together.
Why can't you treat her better?
Do you know she's very upset right now?
I hope you can go spend some time with her after work,
and clear some things up. I'm sure she'll forgive you.
I don't want to offend you
and I don't want to lie to Aiqi.
We...we're not compatible together.
What happened in Sanya, I did her wrong.
I am also sorry to you, I'm sorry to the both of you.
I'll accept whichever way you all want to punish me.
But,
I cannot be together with Aiqi.
Zeng Jian,
You've really disappointed me.
Don't think you can chase me away with a word or two.
I'm going to see this matter through to the end.
Brother Zhu, your cafe is quite stylist.
Call me Brother Tao.
Brother Tao...Brother Tao.
This lad knows to sweet talk.
He has a future.
I hear you both are buddies.
You must have heard that GM Yuan has a special project
Prairie tour.
I am afraid you'll not able to enjoy it..
Sit down and talk. My neck is uncomfortable.
Firstly call me Brother Tao.
Brother Tao..
The way you dress and look
is like a business leader.
Stop pouring me magic potion. You have anything to say just say it.
You came all the way to my cafe, is it because
you want something from here?
Your reputation is well deserved.
Then I'll just go straight and say it.
GM Yuan was the plot of an evil person at the company.
He can't be General Manager
His beloved project suddenly got canceled.
As a confidant, how can I not came forward?
I was thinking that you can help him too.
You won't stand and do nothing.
Did you raise this big fudge yourself?
Isn't he sensible? Yangtze's back wave pushes the front wave
and left the front wave dead on the beach.
No..no. It was that I see you as senior that I diligently wanted to help motivate you.
Are you done speaking?
I didn't tell him to nag you.
I did have an issue with the project. I am not here to borrow money.
You have a lot of friends. Can you help me inquire
if there is any interested public sector entrepreneurs that can help me?
That's right. I am not here for money. We are one on the idea
of networking.
Hey, isn't Shanshan doing well in New York?
See what kind of resource she has.
Two heads working together widen the vision and open up the market.
- What do you say? - I just broke up with her.
Huh? You broke up just like that?
Needless to say I am not surprises that you two broke up.
With your ten year long distant relationship,
it will an interesting story if you able to walk into a wedding chapel.
GM Yuan,
you broke up suddenly after a ten year long distant relationship. Are you sad?
I am not sad, just a bit disappointed.
I envy your ten year relationship,
plus long distance too.
If it were, I wouldn't have lasted a month.
That's why you young ones...seriously.
Love comes easy but cannot stand the test.
Then you would not mind give me some tips.
Oh... how can we give you tips? Right now,
you twenty something year old kid really is smart and cunning.
Haven't you heard that 90 change to 60 and
80 change into 70. Right Yuan Hao?
Right. Whatever you said is right.
What do you mean whatever I said is right?
Everything I said is correct and even let others frame me.
Who can frame you?
Who else?
A few days ago, my credit card
chua chua chua...it all maxed out.
Why didn't you report it?
How can you report your sister-in-law?
- But they are already divorced. - Huh?
The way I see it. In Jian Hui's heart you are still her husband.
Otherwise why would she conveniently swipe your card?
I congratulate you. Re-marriage is just around the corner.
Re-marriage? In her dreams.
Impossible.
If you want to marry, go ahead and hurry marry. Don't drag me into this.
I just turned into a bachelor. How can I get married?
Ok, I will invite you to attend my bachelor party. Ok?
Brothers,
I am here today to learn from you.
How did it turn into a joke?
Generation gap
The gap is gone.
