Far Away Love Episode 32
I'm already in Qingdao.
Don't worry, Mom. It's just a few days business trip. What can happen?
Okay. Pass the phone to Meng Xiang.
Hello? Xiang Xiang...
Mom is at the seaside.
Mom will be back after a few days. When I come back,
I'll bring you a big shell, okay?
Mr. Taxi Driver, go to the nearest police station.
Thank you so much. This bag is really very important to me.
- To repay you.- No need. No need. It was no effort at all.
I'll be leaving soon. Let's just bid our farewells here. Hope that you have a pleasant stay here in China.
Miss, please tell me. What's your name?
There's no need for that, is there?
My name... will disappear very soon.
You're awake?
A tourist brought you here. Your cellphone is out of battery. We were not able to contact your family.
Do you want to make a phone call?
No need. I'm fine.
How can you be fine? You even have anti-cancer medicine prescriptions with you.
Miss, with your health, you shouldn't be roaming around anymore.
You should be receiving treatment in a hospital.
I'll get one when I go back. Thank you, doctor. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now.
Hey, don't rush. You're still having an IV drip.
Miss, you're lucky. An American cancer specialist just arrived here at our hospital.
Let him take a look at you. Maybe it will be of help to your disease.
No need. I already said so.
- Doctor Wang.- Look. Speak of Cao Cao, and he arrives.(Cao Cao - Chinese equivalent of "speak of the devil").
- Hi, Michael.- Just making rounds and having a look around.
Hey, it's you. Do you still remember me?
This is it. This is where I used to work.
After this meal, I can leave Qingdao without regrets too.
Chen Shuang, when I was giving you treatment suggestions these past few days,
you didn't seem to be listening. You just take me sightseeing around Qingdao.
When we first met, you mentioned about disappearing. Chen Shuang,
do you have no plan of getting treatment?
You go first.
- Please enjoy.- Thank you.- You're welcome.
A few years ago, in this place,
I was still a young girl who was full of dreams.
Afterwards, also in this place,
I met a boy who came here to eat with a guitar slung over his shoulder.
He was a lot younger, but he fell in love with me.
His love destroyed my entire life.
Could it be that because you lost him, you don't want to get treatment?
It's not that reason. I haven't been in touch with him for many years already.
You're a doctor. You should know what kind of ending this disease of mine has me headed to
and the amount of expenses that is required in this period. My family's financial situation isn't too good.
They won't be able to bear the burden of a cancer patient.
I understand my family. Once they learn about the situation,
they will insist on me being treated, even if they need to smash our pots and pans to sell as scrap metal.
I can't imagine
what kind of life my little sister and son will be living in the future.
My life is already destroyed.
I can't destroy theirs too.
That's why you want to hide it from them?
Waiting for death alone?
You know, life isn't always what one likes.
Since I was little, I was very rebellious. I did a lot of things that hurt my family.
I can't let them be sad anymore.
Money can make you live longer.
In my bag that you picked up, there was a lot of cash and a diamond watch.
But you still returned it to me. Chen Shuang, you have a very clean soul. In reality,
in the States, I have an ongoing clinical trial for cancer treatment right now.
If you are interested, you can join. But I can't guarantee that I'll definitely be able to cure you.
You know that
pancreatic cancer is a very vicious cancer.
You're saying that...
I may be able to, under low expense circumstances...
continue living?
In the medical field, I never say that something's impossible.
But...
But how do I go to the States?
Chen Shuang, my wife died from cancer when she was 40 years old.
Since then, the hospital research lab became my home.
Other than medical research, I don't care about anything. If you trust me, we can get married.
This way, you'll become a US citizen and I can help treat you.
I've already entrusted my life to your hands.
What else is there to be afraid of?
It was a choice of telling you guys the truth and burdening the whole family to have me treated
or me silently going into hiding on my own.
It was almost a sure thing that Meng Xiang would lose his mother in his childhood. I thought
that if I could choose Michael and go with him, maybe there was still a 1 in 100 hope. That's why I decided.
For my son, I had to give it a try. Even if this lie
would let him suffer multiple times more, but at least he would know that his mother
was still living in some corner in the world and that one day they would meet again.
I never thought...
that we would get separated for this long. In these 10 years,
I suffered my fill of torment from the pain of my illness.
Continuing to linger with my last breath, I hovered back and forth at the line of death.
I had operations after operations. My fellow cancer friends at the hospital
also died one by one. The doctor
said that it's already a miracle that I survived.
Michael introduced me to some jobs that I was still be able to do. This way,
when my health was better,
I could earn some money and then send it to you
to maintain my lie of going to the States to earn big money.
6 months ago,
Michael... something went wrong with Michael's heart.
He has already passed away.
He doesn't have any children.
Being his wife, I become the beneficiary of his estate.
I only realized at that time that Michael
was actually the youngest son of a tycoon.
The assets under his name were amounts that I'd never seen in my life.
Michael left me a letter before he died.
He knew that I was able to get through those ten inhumane years
because of the only two thoughts in my heart.
One was my son, that I missed so much.
The other one was, after surviving, going to seek revenge against the Shen family.
To let them experience the pain that I've gone through as well.
Michael used to be very against me mentioning anything about revenge.
But in his will,
he allowed me to use the large amount of wealth to fulfill this wish.
That's why...
I'm home now. After waiting for 10 years,
I'm finally able to see Meng Xiang this grown-up.
I also have the capability now to let him and Chu Xia live a better life.
More importantly,
my capability now has even surpassed that of the Shen family.
Chen Shuang, let me see what kind of hardships
you've experienced these past years.
My child...
These are all bad karma that I created.
Mom...
If I had a choice,
I'd rather live a more mediocre life.
But Heaven just had to torment me over and over again.
What can I do?
Who told you to tell a lie like that? Such a big thing happened to you, yet you actually hid it from us for 10 years?
Did you ever treat this home as your home? Did you ever treat us as your family?
Dad...
Dad, I was wrong.
With your health, you're still drinking?
- Just one glass, it will be fine.- Will be fine... don't drink too much. Look at him.
Even if something really happens, for a reunion meal
that we waited 10 years to finally have, it's worth it.
- Come. Come.- Let's have a toast for our Meng family's
- hard to come by gathering.- Come. Cheers!
Meng Xiang, eat the food.
Not easy. Not easy.
- Here, eat some, Mom.- Look at your dad.
- Aiyo, dad!- He was even clamoring earlier that he was going to scold you.
Now that everyone's being so happy, he himself even...
- Aiyo...- Happy. Happy.- You're old already. Really...
Come, eat the food.
It would have been great if Xiao Shen was here too.
Chu Xia, you were doing fine with Xiao Shen, but how come you guys are making noise about breaking up again?
Didn't I already tell you before
that me and him
are not people of the same world. We aren't able to live together.
But you can't just separate like that. Marriage is not child's play.
The news said that you slapped him publicly.
Husband and wife fighting shouldn't be done in front of outsiders. Isn't it embarrassing?
Dad...
Chen Shuang, has your little sister told you about her getting married?
He's a really good lad. Your little sister has repeatedly wanted to break up with him.
- Help us advise her against it too.- Mom.
Mom, Dad,
since Chu Xia has already repeatedly beat a retreat,
it clearly means that she's not happy being with that Xiao Shen.
Marriage and love should bring people bliss. If it's not like that, then why bother to be together?
I feel that as her family, we shouldn't say anything more.
We should stand behind her more and give her support, that will be enough.
Times are different now, a divorced woman can still be in great demand.
Moreover now, she's my little sister.
Her identity and status are different from what they used to be.
Are you still afraid that we won't be able to find a man better than Xiao Shen, for her?
That's right.
Let's eat.
Eat. Come.
Xiang Xiang, eat some fish.
Son, eat this. Eat some fish.
Eat.
- Daughters dad, eat.- Come, happily.- Happily.
Chen Shuang, here.
- Come, let me help you.- Sister, just let me do it. Don't do any more work. Go and take a rest instead.
All these years, I've been longing to do household chores with my little sister,
How can I be tired?
Sister...
The matter between me and Shen An...
I know. When your friend died, she asked him to take care of you.
I also know that our dad broke our neighbor's antique vase
and that's why you sold the condo. Shen An then secretly bought it back for you.
I also know that you only just recently found out that he's Marvin.
That's why you've already broken up with him. The things that happened between the both of you
is easy to find out just by spending some time and money.
Chu Xia...
One who doesn't know is not guily. As long as you promise me
not to mention your past to anyone from now on.
For Dad and Mom, I can help you completely hide it from them.
From now on, you shouldn't keep up any contact with the Shen family anymore.
Regarding the matter of dealing with them,
there's me.
Chairwoman Meng, hello.
Hello.
Chu Xia...
Meng Xiang...
From now on, this will be our home.
For the luggage you guys left at Miss Ding's house,
I will ask someone to get it. But from what I can see,
those things are not worth keeping either.
This place has everything. Take a look, if you both still need anything, you can let the butler get them for you.
Meng Xiang, come.
I don't know what you like either,
but as long as it's currently something that's really popular on the market, I asked them to buy it and bring them all back.
How is it?
Are you satisfied?
It's kind of too big. I usually just sleep in the living room.
I'm afraid that I might not be used to living here.
All habits started from one not being used to it.
It's okay. If you really feel uncomfortable here, we can change to another room.
- Change to another room?- Yes.
No. No need.
You allowed Shen An to secretly buy a house just to get close to you,
but you won't allow this big sister of yours to openly give her little sister a home?
I want to let the Shen Family know
that my little sister is not someone that can be bullied just because they are rich.
- Mom- What?- What is it?
That... did you guys see my charger?
It's in my bag.
Why? It doesn't suit your taste?
Do you want me to ask the kitchen to re-do it?
No. No. These are quite good.
Eat more.
How is it?
Do I look funny?
Not funny, you look good. I originally thought this suit would be too big.
I didn't think that it'd fit so well.
How is it, Chu Xia? Does our Meng Xiang have some resemblance to a young master?
We have another Young Master Meng in our family now.
Another?
Do these clothes really suit me?
Of course! My son is so handsome,
you must wear high-quality clothes in order to bring out the best of both.
There are a couple more suits in your wardrobe, you can try them on later. Let's eat first.
Meng Xiang, I know that you have been living with Chu Xia all these years, and you've been calling her mother all this while.
But now that the three of us are living together,
you can't address her as your mother anymore.
Understand? You need to call her Aunt.
Come, this is the fish fillet with pickled vegetables that you liked to eat when you were young. Try it.
Why aren't you eating?
Meng Xiang doesn't like to eat sour stuff now.
He doesn't even eat tomatoes which are even a little bit sour.
Isn't that so?
It's been 10 years.
People themselves have changed completely, not to mention their tastes.
Sister, it's fine. In the future, when the both of you live together, you will naturally get to understand each other as time goes by.
Meng Xiang, isn't that right?
You eat.
Slower.
Mom, where's my t-shirt?
It's here.
What are you doing?
Wear this.
Meng Xiang, you really must take note in the future, and not call me Mom.
You know as well how much your mom suffered all these years. She's in a very vulnerable psychological state now.
If you still continue to call me mom, she will be sad.
I didn't do it on purpose. I can't change it in such a short period of time.
Then change it starting from now. One day, you will change.
Also, these clothes,
you must wear them more often.
It's the thought that counts.
These clothes are making me super uncomfortable. I'm wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
Be obedient, Meng Xiang.
You have to wear it even if it's uncomfortable. It's the thought that counts.
Fine, I know, Mom.
No, Aunt!
Must we stay here?
Even though this place is very luxurious, it is not the least bit cozy.
It doesn't feel like a home at all.
Why don't you try this?.
Sis, I'm too tired to try on any more.
These two pieces then.
Do you want them, or...
Yes, but I don't want these two. Pack the rest for me.
That's too many! It's not like I lack clothes to wear.
You don't lack? You are only 28 years old. You're at the age where you should dress up.
Wearing only just these few outfits every day, I feel bad for you.
I don't care about these.
Chu Xia, you are only in your twenties. you are in the prime of your life.
And you had to spend most of your youth taking care of Meng Xiang.
It's really been hard on you. Thank you.
Look at what you're saying. I'm his aunt, your biological sister.
Sister, mentioning Meng Xiang, I have something to tell you.
Meng Xiang, this child, has always been an introvert. Although the misunderstandings between the both of you has been cleared up,
he also knows that you had no choice but to leave. But after all, both of you haven't met for ten years.
So in front of you, he might feel a bit uneasy or awkward sometimes.
Sister, you mustn't take it to heart.
I understand.
I believe that it will get better as we spend more time together.
There's another thing,
can I stay at Ding Fei's place first and not live with the both of you?
Just to be nice, then the both of you will have some time to bond.
No, how can I do that?
Temporary, it's just temporary. If I keep staying with you both,
every time Meng Xiang starts to feel awkward, he'll come and find me,
then when will the two of you be able to stop acting like strangers? Also,
recently, too many things happened. My life and emotions
have honestly been all messed up.
I really... need some quiet time to adjust myself.
Sister, please, let me go.
Sister.
Then... just one month.
One month later, you must come back and live with us, okay?
Okay.
Chu Xia, from now on, I hope that you can be more concerned about yourself.
Think more for yourself and lead a life of your own.
Be it whether you want to work and carve a career for yourself,
or travel around the world, or further your studies overseas for a couple years. There's no problem.
I can arrange it all for you.
This is also one of the missions that I wanted to accomplish when I come back this time.
Sister, previously you said you wanted revenge.
Is that one of the missions too?
Yes.
Moreover, it's a very important mission.
Then... how do you plan to take revenge?
Recently, the Shen Corporation was affected by the news incident,
and it's already got itself all muddled up. You know about that, don't you?
Yes, I've heard.
There also seems to be some M Corporation that has plans to acquire Shen Corporation.
So, it remains unknown whether or not the name of Shen Corporation can be kept in the end.
Of course, it can't be kept.
After I become the new owner of Shen Corporation,
I will kick out the people of the Shen family one by one.
And make them truly bow their heads down in front of me and beg for forgiveness.
Sister, you...
That's right.
The person sitting in front of you now,
I, Meng Chen Shuang, is the Chairman of M Corporation.
What?
Your sister is the Chairwoman of M Corporation?
And M Corporation is currently at odds with Shen Corporation.
My gosh, Meng Chu Xia.
Such an ordinary person like you, why do you keep encountering one drama after another?
I think you can write a book.
Stop making me angry.
Who would want to lead a life that is like a family feud in a novel?
I'd rather that my life can be like a calendar.
Simple and clear.
I wonder how Meng Xiang is doing these two days.
In the past you would get a headache when you mentioned that expressionless little devil. Now you miss him after not seeing him for two days, right?
Is it because of your sister and Shen An,
that you feel super awkward, so you don't wish to live with them?
Stop thinking so much. Haven't I told you?
Mother and son haven't met for 10 years, they need to have some private time together.
But, Meng Chu Xia,
regarding your sister taking revenge on Shen Corporation,
what do you think? Which side do you plan to take?
I don't want to take any side.
It'll be great if there really was a crack in this earth.
I would fall in and not come out anymore.
No one could bother me, and I couldn't bother anyone anymore.
For the things that you don't wish to do, no one can force you to do them.
For the things you don't want to think about, let's not think about them either.
In the days to come, maybe, whether it's your sister or the Shen Corporation,
they might get you all tied up in this matter.
But don't be afraid.
You still have us. You must believe that no matter what problem you encounter,
I will always stand by your side.
Add oil!
Thank you, Fei Fei.
Are you sure that there's no news of Brother Shen?
I know.
Thank you.
Why is there 30 yuan missing?
Look. This one's 5 sticks.
How come yours is 6 sticks?
I'm really sorry.
Hey, Shadow,
why are you calling this late at night?
Er Peng, I know, I finally know!
What do you know?
I finally know where Brother Shen is. I'm going to go find him now!
Shadow,
I think... I... I think...
What?
I think that it shouldn't be you going there to look for him.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm in a hurry to leave now. I'm hanging up.
We'll continue doing the accounts when I get back.
Okay.
Go to the airport.
Why are you so rash?
What if you got hit?
I...
I got so anxious so I ran over.
Shadow, you really can't go to look for him.
Why?
I am a crude and simple person.
I don't know how to talk about great principles
and I don't know how to say moving words.
So I'll tell it to you bluntly then.
So what if you're able to find Shen An?
So what if you know where he is staying now?
Will he even want to come back with you?
Why won't he--
Why won't he be willing to come back with me?
Men are kids.
Once their temper gets twisted together,(get stubborn about something)
it can't be untwisted by just any person.
Why did Shen An hide from us?
We all know what the reason is.
Their family is currently in such a big crisis,
and he can't even come back home to face it himself.
I want to ask you.
What ability do you have to help him solve this problem?
Shadow, I like Ding Fei.
I've been chasing Ding Fei for so many years.
Ding Fei has never agreed to go out with me.
Ding Fei's boyfriends go through rotation after rotation.
If it was someone else, he wouldn't have been able to take it for this long.
But I've... never had any grudges. Do you know why?
You're stupid.
You're right, I'm stupid.
But this has really nothing to do with being stupid.
I like Ding Fei.
I like her a lot.
That's why I hope that she'll be happy and blissful. That way, I'll be happy too.
Of course, if this happiness and blissfulness were being given by me, then that will be the best.
If I can't give it to her.
I also wish her to find the person who can give her that happiness and blissfulness soon.
This is what love is. Shadow,
you should also see it from Shen An's angle and think about it clearly.
Who does Shen An really want to see the most right now?
Someone who can help Shen An the most at this point in time?
Little Thing, why are you here?
I missed Auntie Fei Fei.
Stop it.
- It's because you missed your other mom, didn't you?- This child...
I told you to spend more time with your mom. Why are you so disobedient?
Eat less junk food. Eat more fruit.
Aiya, I've already told her I was coming here.
I'm guessing it's your mom coming here to catch you.
It can't be.
Didn't you say that you informed her? You've been exposed, haven't you?
You were the one who brought her here?
We met downstairs.
If you put it that way, then you two really are quite fated.
Fei Fei, why are you guys standing at the door talking?
Why don't you hurry and let them in.
Miss Qiao,
I know the purpose of you coming here.
Although Chu Xia and Shen An are indeed currently separated,
the situation is still unstable.
You're planning to strike while the iron's hot, and take advantage of another's misfortune to do him harm, aren't you?
Let me tell you. I, Ding Fei, am here.
Your plan has failed.
Please, if you don't have any other matters, please close my door when you leave.
I still have other matters.
Fei Fei...
Jia Ying must really have some urgent matters,
or else she wouldn't come here to your tiger's den.
What's so great about my tiger's den?
Don't forget that she's a gold armored rabbit.
Sister Chu Xia,
I know that in the past, I did a lot of things that I should apologize to you about.
And right now, I don't have the right to come find you either.
But I still want to ask you to please--
Jia Ying,
don't mention about past matters anymore.
You came here today for Shen An, didn't you?
There's been no news from Brother Shen for many days now.
I've known him for so many years already.
I know that with regards to that past event,
he feels a sense of guilt that he can't break away from.
I also know that the you, who previously pulled him out of the dark shadows,
is the person whom he previously brought tragedy to.
This blow is too much for him.
I'm very worried that he might do some
irrational things.
Shen An...
won't do that.
At first, that's also what I thought.
I felt that Brother Shen is a very rational and very strong person.
If something bad happens, at most, he'd just hide for a while,
it's not a big problem.
But right now, Shen Group has already reached the brink of collapse.
Yet there's still no news of him.
Doesn't this prove that
he's not as strong as we all think he is?
Sister Chu Xia,
can you, on account of
the fact that Brother Shen was very good to you in the past...
I beg you. Please bring him back.
At least,
let us know
that he's still alive.
I beg you!
Jia Ying...
