From today on, this wall will become our family tree.
Wait a second. What do you mean ours?
What other lies did you tell me?
I ran into you once after Ocean Blue.
When?
Back then your eyesight wasn't good. You almost got knocked over by a car.
I pulled you back and helped you get into your car.
George, please don't leave.
Back then there's a man with you. Why would I talk about it then?
Subsequently I found out you and George were actually father and daughter.
So I mustered up the courage to tell you. Yan Yin, I want to be with you.
I suddenly got something to do. I'll come home late.
Why don't you two go ahead and eat?
It's OK, Eunice. I'm not done cooking yet. Easy.
OK. Bye.
Good news.
What's the matter?
I've been looking for the celadon cup for you online. There's a reply.
The cup shows up again?
I offered a price for you already. The seller accepted it.
She insisted on dealing with you later as she must fly to somewhere soon.
No problem. What's her contact number?
Thank you. OK. You finish cooking for me.
OK. Will do.
Be right back.
Miss Ling.
Are you Mr. Kiu?
You are Miss Ling Yeuk-fei?
A Mr. Cheung called me. He said you wanted to buy my celadon cup.
Can I see it?
Mr. Kiu.
Wing-yee...No, I mean Miss Ling.
Mr. Cheung said you've been looking for this cup for a long time.
Over twenty years.
Is there a story behind it? Do you mind telling me?
You want to hear the story about it?
Actually I saw a cup with a crack in a shop last week.
I guessed there must be a very special story behind it.
So I bought it.
Then I posted it online to see if someone knows the story.
Would you sell me the cup if I told you the story?
I would consider that.
Do you believe all chance meetings
are actually reunions after parting for a long time?
This cup was at first the dowry of a princess in Yuan Dynasty.
There was a pair. The other cup is in my possession.
Twenty eight years ago, there's an auction in Hong Kong.
I bought this cup there.
Back then a girl came over and asked me to sell her the pair of cups.
She said it's the engagement token of her grandparents.
The couple was separated due to war. Even the cups went missing.
Tens of years later, her grandparents ran into each other again.
Too bad her grandfather died shortly afterwards.
Her grandma still missed the cups very much.
Therefore she asked me to sell them to her.
Did you?
Yes.
But how come the pair of cups got separated in the end?
That isn't the end of the story. Subsequently that girl became my wife.
Once she broke one of them by accident.
She even lost it when she took it to a shop for repair.
She couldn't let it go all along.
Where's your wife now?
She died twenty six years ago.
Therefore you wanted to find the cup all along?
If I can get it back, I can make it a pair again.
This is the only thing I can do for my wife.
I hope you can help me fulfill my dream.
Your story is so touching. I want very much to sell you this cup.
But there's another buyer. He contacted me earlier than you did.
I want to be fair to him.
Can you wait till I've met him before I make a decision?
Got it. I'll wait for your decision then.
Thank you. I'll contact you.
Let's keep in touch.
Goodbye, Mr. Kiu.
I see. So you still haven't quit?
I won't give up so easily.
Actually these cups are beautiful.
Even though they aren't in pairs, they still have much value for collection.
So you want me to carry on looking for it?
When you want to do something, who has the guts to stop you?
So you think I'm unreasonable?
Not at all. You are just obstinate. But I think that's a merit.
I really can't out talk you.
Listen to me. Don't waste your time anymore looking for the cup.
OK. Give me a reason.
I know we got together all because of the pair of cups.
Back then you came over and asked me to sell you the cups.
Actually did you fall in love with me already at first sight?
I fell in love with you at first sight?
Isn't that true?
Get to the point please.
There are things that we know mutually.
We don't need to say it expressly.
Actually we know that very well here.
Besides, the pair of cups brought you to me.
They have already accomplished their mission. They can retire now.
OK. Promise me this.
No matter how much time has elapsed,
in future, you must still remember me.
You don't have faith in me? Or you don't have faith in yourself?
Why would I lack faith in myself?
But it's hard to find someone to replace me.
Just presume I didn't say it.
But if in future you do forget me a bit,
I still know how to make you remember me.
But if in future you do forget me a bit,
I still know how to make you remember me.
We've parted for four years due to that accident.
Now I ran into you again. Nothing will separate us anymore.
I will use a lot of happiness to fill up this tree.
Good morning.
Good morning. Have some congee.
Plain congee? I see. The food last night.
It's all here. I ate all of it.
I knew it. Otherwise you wouldn't eat plain congee now.
How about Eunice? She didn't come for dinner?
She's exactly like you. She stood us up. She didn't even call.
She simply sent a message.
Where did she go?
Where did you go then?
Did you need to talk so long with the cup's owner after meeting her?
I waited a long time but you didn't come home.
When I was home, you were already asleep.
I fell asleep as I was full. By the way, did you buy the cup?
The owner said another buyer contacted her before I did.
For fairness sake, she wanted to meet that buyer first
before she could decide whether to sell me the cup.
You should offer her a higher price.
Too bad this Miss Ling doesn't consider money only.
She has her principles, right?
I'm not eating. I need to run.
What's the hurry? There's plenty of time.
I'm not going to work today. I've taken today off.
Where do you want to go?
I've got something to do.
Ling Yeuk-fei? That's Miss Ling?
Hello, Miss Ling. This is Kiu Man-kit. What's your decision?
I'm sorry, Mr. Kiu. I'm in a hurry to meet a client.
I'll get back to you later.
OK. Keep in touch then. Bye.
That point...The point you asked just now...
Let me see...Sorry.
Sorry. I need to go to the bathroom.
I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, for holding you up for so long today.
It's OK. But I think there's a problem in your policy.
Call me again after you've amended it.
I'll contact you after I've done so.
After my policy, there are many other policies for you in my company.
Remember to call me.
OK.
Hello, Mr. Fung, this is Miss Ling of Shun Kang Insurance.
I'm calling you to remind you that...
we have an appointment later in North Point Cafe... Is that right?
Never mind. Then let's meet at 8 p.m. on Tuesday next week. Bye.
J12 please.
Seventy-five dollars, please.
Miss Ling, I'm going to lunch with the classmates. Are you coming?
I'm sorry. I have an appointment. You guys go ahead.
I told you not to ask her. She's a loner.
How would she dine with us?
Sorry... Sorry.
You should look out.
Sorry... Sorry.
Didn't you see my face once you closed your eyes?
I.I.
Just a second...Silly guy.
Madam.
Wait. Hello, sis. I remember that. We're going to buy a gift for mom later.
OK. I'll come over to pick you up. Bye.
Guys, I'm seeing someone. I'm seeing someone.
Really?
Who? George or the lawyer Cheuk?
You are so outdated.
The Prince Charming of Asia has beaten Bro George long ago.
I see. So it's Mantus.
Hey, what's the stage now? Have you two kissed?
What does that matter to you?
Never mind her. Did you really quarrel with George?
It would be embarrassing going to work then.
No.
I know Bro George is a gentleman.
But it's still embarrassing to see him every day.
No, he will back off.
You two have misunderstood my relation with George.
What? What relation?
I get it. You have a new boyfriend. So you aren't related to him anymore.
Actually he's my dad.
What?
You mean he's become your godfather as you two can't be lovers?
No. He's really my biological father.
Cut it out please.
Your parents died four years ago. How is it possible that George is your dad?
This is complicated and unbelievable. I know that.
In simple terms, my biological mom died when giving birth to me.
George couldn't accept that. He asked my adoptive parents to raise me.
Yan-yan, I really don't know what to say.
But it's good that you've found your dad.
Actually my mood is quite complicated. I don't know how to deal with this.
But as you said, it isn't bad to find my dad.
On second thought, this is good.
You've found two important men in your life at once.
You should celebrate that.
Which movie shall we watch? How about Sleeping Angels?
How come you've bought the tickets already? How do you know I want to watch that?
Last time when you passed by the cinema, you stared at the poster for so long.
So I think you want to watch it.
Are all the lawyers so thoughtful like you?
I only do so for the person I love.
I must play my role as a nice girlfriend then.
I'll buy popcorn. You want them salty, right?
I don't want to part with you. I'll go with you.
OK.
George.
George, what a coincidence?
Right.
You are here for a movie?
Yes.
House number one is open now.
Excuse me. We will go in now.
OK. Go ahead.
Let's go.
OK.
Bye.
You are home?
Sorry, uncle. We ran into some friends during dinner just now.
We chatted for a long time.
Thank you for seeing Eunice home.
It's late. I'll leave.
Just now you said you would come to my place for coffee.
No. I need to go to work early tomorrow. Raincheck. Bye.
Bye.
You didn't happen to come downstairs, right? Why did you wait for me here?
Eunice, don't invite guys to your place for coffee so readily.
I'm a grown up. Why can't I do so?
You know what I mean.
I do. You think it's hard to ask them to leave, right?
I also understand why you waited for me specifically downstairs.
You don't like Mantus, right?
Look, Eunice. Picking a boyfriend is different from picking clothes.
I know you worry that boys would trick me, right?
Besides...
I told you I get it. You haven't been a dad for a long time.
You don't know how to show me your love and concern.
So you've exhausted all means to express your care for me.
But I'm already twenty-six years old. I know how to protect myself, OK?
No matter...
No matter what I say, you still feel worried, right?
My daughter is so clever. It isn't easy to be your dad.
You think you can get info from me
by making compliments and closing the gap between us?
This only works in the investigation of cases.
OK. I've got nothing further to say.
By the way, I have a question. Only you can give me an answer.
OK.
Why did you follow that woman to the cinema? Who is she?
Never mind. I get it. You don't want to talk about it.
I won't ask you. Everyone is entitled to his own privacy, right?
I hope you would allow some privacy for Mantus and me as well. Goodnight.
Miss Yeung Yin-oi, would you care for a ride with me?
I wish I could ride with you all the time.
Usually girls would scream once they got on my motorbike.
No one is so hot and brave like you.
I'm not afraid at all. I felt like I was flying.
It's like flying in the sky on Santa's reindeer sleigh.
Santa? How old are you? You are so childish.
Do you remember my birthday?
December 15th?
I was born in the month of Christmas. See how much I'm related to Santa Claus.
That's true.
He's my first idol.
Back then I often wished I could go with Santa everywhere in his reindeer sleigh.
I even wrote him many letters. But he never replied.
Did you write in Chinese or English?
Chinese.
That's why. Santa is a foreigner. He doesn't know Chinese.
Right.
How come you are so clever?
What? When I was a kid, I watched TV.
The foreigners often sit in front of a fireplace at home...
during a snowy Christmas.
They decorate Christmas trees together. They have Christmas dinner together.
They open Christmas gifts together. It's really so nice.
Too bad my parents died early. There's only Granny Po and me.
We were broke. How could we celebrate Christmas?
Therefore my Christmas wish was to save up a lot of money...
And go to Finland with Granny Po to visit Santa Claus.
You are really childish.
You are just jealous. OK. I'll go with you too.
Shooting star! Make a wish.
I want to go to Finland to visit Santa Claus.
Besides, I want to be happy with Cheuk-kiu forever.
You've come? Let's talk inside.
That won't be necessary. Your employees haven't come in yet.
We can talk here.
What's the matter?
Two things. First, when would I get my cut for the case last time?
Are you in need of money desperately?
The client would go to the insurance company...
a couple of days later to get the check.
I will pay you after he's transferred the money to me.
OK. The second thing is I will take leave in December.
Count me out if there's a job.
Are you going on a pleasure trip?
Am I your employee? Shall I fill in a form?
OK. Actually you don't need to tell me anything. But I want to ask you this.
What's your objective in approaching Yeung Yin-oi?
Remember not to get committed so easily.
If she finds out what we do and gets us into trouble,
you will be liable for the consequence.
Once I've received payment, I'll give you your cut right away.
You can do whatever you like in December.
You consider carefully what you want to do in future.
And, give me a call first when you come next time.
Hello, Doc.
Hi, Blue. I want to know...
Well, you want to get payment?
Yes. You know my situation.
The money will be transferred to me a couple of days later.
If you are in need of money now,
I can transfer several tens of thousand of dollars to you first.
Thank you very much. But...
You can't wait a couple of days?
Anyway, when I've got the money, I'll pay you then.
Thank you very much, Blue. If it wasn't for you...
Doc, cut the crap. Focus on your job. Bye.
Good morning, Bro George.
Morning.
As usual?
There you go. Black coffee. Norman, go to the kitchen.
See if all the things are delivered.
OK.
Why give me black coffee?
I'm sure you didn't sleep well last night. Black coffee will keep you awake.
I understand it. You need this. Look.
Sometimes you really can't stay away from romance.
Save the trouble.
You really aren't curious?
I am. But I want to use some other methods to get to know her better.
Mr. Kiu, I've made a decision already. Shall we meet?
I need to go out.
OK.
Morning, Eunice. I've got something important to do today.
Please tell Mam that I need to take today off. Thank you.
Kiddy B.
Yes.
Why is he in such a hurry?
I don't know. Perhaps it's because of her.
Master George has been looking for a celadon cup all along.
This is the present owner of it.
Do you think she looks so much like Mrs. Kiu?
Then I know why he followed this woman.
He's trying to understand her this way.
She does look very much like my biological mom, right?
I've never met Miss Ling before.
But she does look exactly like her in the photo.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kiu, for wasting so much of your time.
The cup is returned to its owner at last.
What did the other buyer say?
He saw the crack on the cup.
He said there wasn't much value for collection.
If I had known he's so insincere, I wouldn't have wasted your time.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kiu.
Never mind. But do you realize that you like saying sorry very much?
This isn't your fault at all. But you still say sorry.
Really? I'm sorry.
See, again! Why don't I pay you the price you stated online?
You don't need to pay me. You are the cup's original owner.
I should return it to you.
No, how can I accept such a favor?
I mean it.
If you won't accept payment, is there anything I can do for you?
Not really.
I can't do this. I mean it too.
Have you taken out insurance cover?
No. I've never done so.
Do you mind taking out life insurance with me? Never mind if you don't want to.
But if you want to pay me,
why don't you spend the money to take out life insurance?
This will provide you and your family some protection.
Perhaps you find me selling it so hard.
But I truly believe that everyone should get life insurance.
It's not that I don't want to do that.
But I've never done that before. So I need to think.
Perhaps I really need to trouble you for helping me.
Thank you very much. When do you have time for a body check?
I can do so any time. Will it be a rush today?
It's OK. Our company knows a doctor well. Let me ask him.
Actually his clinic is nearby. Why don't I go with you?
Then I need to trouble you once again.
12. Remind honey to watch Chinese opera. 28. Honey needs to have her teeth scaled.
Sorry to make you two wait.
Hello, Dr. Ku. This is my friend Mr. Kiu Man-kit.
Hello.
This is Dr. Ku Tak-shing.
Dr. Ku.
You came for a body check today?
Yes. I want to take out an insurance cover.
Miss Ling suggested that I came for a body check first.
OK. Do you suffer from any illnesses?
No.
We will do a basic checkup. If necessary, we will do a thorough checkup.
OK.
Mr. Kiu, it seems that you are in very good health.
You really don't have any illnesses?
Not major ones. Of course I catch a cold or get the flu sometimes.
Are you taking any medicine or supplements?
No.
You are so fit. You exercise, right?
Jogging and swimming.
OK. Some simpler questions. Any family or hereditary diseases?
No.
Do you smoke?
No.
Do you drink?
A little.
Sorry. I need to answer this call. Hello, honey.
Yes. I want to remind you to take the medicine. Yes.
You came so early?
You too?
The meeting ended sooner than scheduled. So I came a bit early.
You must be hungry. You love pork belly.
The slow cooked pork belly of this restaurant is very famous.
I've ordered two. Is there anything else you want to order?
Excuse me. We only need one order of pork belly.
I want a Caesar salad please.
You eat so little now? No wonder you are so much thinner.
Actually the pork belly cooked by westerners...
is far from that you cooked at home.
Didn't you give it up already?
That's why I regret it.
It's OK. You can answer it.
Never mind. How's Jimmy's exam result last time?
He's so smart. He came first in class and third in the whole school.
So smart? Why don't we three go to Japan together during Christmas?
Jason, you just need to sign the document. Then we will be formally divorced.
Of course you can see Jimmy regularly. You can even go on pleasure trips with him.
You just need to inform me.
But it's inconvenient for us to go together.
The portion is so big. I can't finish it. Let's share it.
What?
Come on. Dig in.
She's called so many times. There must be something urgent.
Why don't you answer it? I'm OK.
Do we really need to get a divorce?
I kept asking you this question. You are asking me instead now?
I lost my senses. Judy is untamed. She's a control freak.
She isn't as presentable and nice as you. I was wrong.
I didn't know the best woman was there with me all along.
I refused to get a divorce all along as I thought I didn't want Jimmy to get hurt.
But in fact I wasn't used to your absence.
Every time when I went to bed, I felt so lonely.
I hated that feeling so much. But I've learned something in the past year.
I have learned to let go. I'm used to this now.
I think you should learn that too from now on.
Consider Jimmy's best interest.
Do you know how important it is for a kid to have a complete family?
Don't use Jimmy as your shield anymore.
You really won't change your mind?
You don't really want to come back to me. You just want to dump Judy.
You are using me as a shield. You chose to be with her.
You must face the consequence yourself. I'm sorry.
I don't want to dine with you. Bye.
Miss...Miss...What flavor do you want?
Oh, raspberry, vanilla and banana.
Except those three, one scoop each for all the other flavors.
We have sixteen different flavors.
Excluding those three, there will be thirteen scoops.
Can you finish all of them?
Right. Thirteen is an unlucky number, right? Sixteen then.
One scoop for each flavor.
OK. To go, right?
Here.
Just a moment.
Isn't the sherbet here nice?
Right.
Let's try goat's milk next time.
Goat's milk. Do they really have that?
Try it. They do.
He's dating a girl here?
To go please. Chop-chop.
OK.
Guys, my treat.
Wow, there's ice-cream.
How do you know that?
Mam, you are so well dressed today. Did you win the Mark Six lottery?
Just go ahead. You talk so much.
Hey, take a break and try some ice-cream, Eunice. This is yours.
Thank you.
George, this is yours.
Thank you.
Bro George, you like sweet food too? You seldom eat that.
A pretty girt treats me to it. I must give her face.
Bro George calls you a pretty girl. That'll make you sleepless tonight, Mam.
You two keep teasing me. You want to suffer?
I dare not.
George, there's some more here.
This is good enough.
There's ice-cream? What's the matter?
You just ate it. You want to eat again?
You saw me just now? Why didn't you call me?
I'm not that dumb. The meeting will start half an hour later.
When did I offend you?
When will one plus one equals three? This is so childish.
What a stupid IQ question. It will be so when you calculate it wrong.
This is a case of critical illness.
The claimer is called Sze Ping-kuen.
He's confirmed to suffer from second stage liver cancer.
The claim amount is eight hundred thousand dollars.
Medical report, lab report. There appears to be sufficient paperwork.
What's the problem?
I know. The policy was taken out less than a year ago.
Therefore the insurance company wants us to do a routine check. Easy job.
You think you are smart?
Smart isn't completely wrong.
When the insurance company checked Sze Ping-kuen's case,
it noticed that several recent cases of critical illnesses claims...
shared certain similarities.
They find that suspicious. So they want us to investigate.
It's reported in the news before that there were syndicated fraud cases.
Actually there were some real life cases on TV before.
Someone paid people from mainland China to stage an accident.
Then they worked with some doctors
to make those people blind so as to defraud insurance.
Therefore this isn't a simple case. Lai, you followed these cases before.
You take on this case.
OK. Excuse me.
Hello, Lan. What? So serious? Don't move. I'll come right away.
I'm sorry. The elderly at home tripped. It could be serious.
I want to take the day off.
OK.
Pack my things.
Are you OK?
Why don't I take on the case?
When Eunice worked on Chiu's case earlier,
she already contacted Sze Ping-kuen.
We know him. It should be easier.
OK. Eunice and George. You two follow Sze Ping-kuen's case.
Sze Ping-kuen's policy came into effect shortly after we had met him.
But back then he said he did some odd jobs only.
His income was unstable.
Isn't it odd that he still took out insurance cover?
It's stated in the policy that he's a warehouse attendant.
He even got a fixed place of abode.
A social worker must have referred a permanent job to him.
I've compared all the dubious cases before. They share two common factors.
First, they were diagnosed to suffer from cancer within a year...
after they took out insurance.
Second, they all went to the same doctor.
Really?
Dr. Ku Tak Shing's Clinic.
Ku Tak-shing?
Dr. Ku Tak Shing's Clinic.
It's really the same doctor.
You know him?
I went to his clinic recently for a body check.
Hello, Miss Ling.
Hello, Mr. Kiu, your body check report is available now.
When do you have time? Why don't I go with you to get it?
I can discuss the policy with you.
How about today? Are you available? Shall I pick you up?
No, thanks. Why don't we meet in Dr. Ku's clinic half an hour later?
OK. See you later then.
Picking someone up? How kind of you! Are you going out with Miss Ling?
Not going out.
I'm meeting her at Ku Tak-shing's clinic to look at the body check report.
Why does she want to go with you to get your body check report?
It's because I've taken out a life insurance policy with her.
You don't need life insurance.
Did you make an excuse to approach her?
Whatever. At least I have a chance to check Ku Tak-shing now...
to see if he's suspicious.
You can say whatever you like. I can't tell you what to do.
I'll take off then.
Mr. Kiu, your report is excellent.
Basically most of the indexes are within the normal range.
Your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood lipid levels are normal.
They show that your internal organs are only twenty-eight years old.
You are extremely healthy.
Thank you.
Mr. Kiu, you must be so disciplined in your daily life.
Mr. Kiu, I'll give you this report now. Call me any time if you have questions.
Oh no.
Sorry. Thank you. Come in.
Sorry, Dr. Ku. Kevin called. He said it's urgent.
He asked about the APD machine.
OK. Patch him through.
OK.
Sorry. I need to answer this call.
Dr. Ku, we shall leave if there's nothing further. We won't hold you up.
OK.
Thank you.
You are welcome. Yes. Kevin. I will buy the machine for sure.
I'll pay you thirty thousand dollars as deposit first.
I'll pay you the balance next week.
Yan Yin, what a coincidence? Did you follow me?
I followed you? I'm following a case. The claimer lives nearby.
How about you? Why are you carrying this?
There's a traffic accident case.
I noticed some problems in the police report.
So I came to check it out.
Have you found what you were looking for yet?
I lost the guy.
Good. I haven't eaten the whole clay. Shall we grab a bite?
Uncle's over there.
Hey, what a coincidence?
Right. What a coincidence.
Hello, uncle.
They are?
Hello. My name is Mantus.
Hello.
Eunice is my girlfriend.
Hi.
Hello. You are?
This is Miss Ling Yeuk-fei.
Please call me Faye.
Why don't we sit together?
Sure.
Sure. Please have a seat. You don't mind that, right?
No, I don't.
See what you would like to eat.
The lamb chop here is very famous. Would you like to try that?
Eunice doesn't like the taste of mutton. I think oxtail suits her better.
Your dad understands you better.
Dad? You two are father and daughter?
Miss Ling, you didn't know that? Don't be fooled by his look.
Actually he isn't young.
I'm sorry. Eunice likes joking a lot.
It's OK. I can tell you two are so well bonded.
You can tell that?
Even I can tell that.
Have you decided what to order yet?
I'll eat whatever you eat.
No, thanks.
Uncle, did I interrupt you and Miss Ling?
Do you think I'm getting in your way?
Is there some misunderstanding between us?
I feel that you don't like me.
I'm slow in warming up. Therefore I don't have many friends.
Whether I like a person depends on whether there's anything...
he's got that's worth my liking him.
Uncle, I'm serious about Yan Yin. I hope my honesty will earn your respect.
I hope you would understand that I've missed Eunice for over twenty years.
I know I'm a lousy dad.
Therefore I won't allow anyone to hurt her now.
I understand that feeling. I've missed Yan Yin for four years too.
Now God has given me a chance to run into her again four years later.
I will cherish her all the more. I will love her all the more. I won't quit.
Whether you are true to her isn't just some empty statements.
I'll show you in action. I hope you will believe me.
I hope so.
