That's true
Your phone's ringing. It's distracting, answer it
It's your brother
It must be something important
I need two minutes to think about it
What? I'm in the midst of a negotiation
Jinxuan, did Uncle Xiaoying win Toto?
What Toto?
When I went downstairs to buy something,
I bumped into Potty Mouth and his wife
They told me Uncle Xiaoying had won Toto
Please, I bet it's less than $100
Don't make a big fuss
I heard it was $10 million
What? $10 million?
Go ask him
I'll confirm with Potty Mouth
I got it, Ou Jinxuan
Kinship is priceless, but money is more invaluable
The most I can give you is $20,000
Take it or leave it, OK?
It's negotiable. Where are you going?
$20,000 isn't enough? She sure is greedy
Coming
Jinguang!
Where's my brother?
Aren't you going to greet your sister-in-law?
Sis-in-law, where's my brother?
Honey, your sister's here
Jinguang, did Xiaoying really win the $10 million Toto jackpot?
Why are you so anxious?
You cheated on him
Now you want a share of his money?
Is it true or not?
When I looked you up at your place,
Grandma Swordswoman said you and Fada...
Were caught in bed
How embarrassing
Keep your mouth shut if you don't know anything
And you know everything?
This concerns our family's reputation
What reputation do we have?
Your dad has had the provision shop for decades
Every one of the 400-odd households knows us
You owe your dad and brother an explanation
What's there to explain?
She admitted to it after being caught red-handed
She hauled her luggage and left with Chow Yun-fat. I mean, Zhou Fada
You've shamed our family
It's not what you think
I don't believe Fada would do a thing like that
Did you set him up, Jinxuan?
That's impossible
Jinxuan isn't enemies with him. Why would she do that?
I bet Fada was lusting after her
That's impossible. I grew up with Fada
He's not the lascivious type
So your sister seduced Fada?
I didn't
What happened then?
That's not important now
Just tell me if Xiaoying has won $10 million
See it for yourself
Do you remember...
Xiaoying was having a meal at home?
He said he'd made a QuickPick bet
That I don't know, but they're such lucky numbers
You know what the numbers are? Get ready to be shocked
8, 18, 28, 38, 48
He'd placed the QuickPick bet at the lucky shop...
at Block 68
The only winner came from that shop
With Potty Mouth and Jiao confirming it...
and the fact that he's missing now
He can't be found or contacted
Don't you think he's the winner?
Omigod
No use regretting it now
You've broken his heart
He'd be a fool to pay you any attention
The worst thing is, you and he aren't legally married
You can't divorce him and get a share of his assets
What man would be so foolish...
as to give money to a woman who cheated on him?
Nothing happened between us
Of course you'd say that
But would anyone believe you?
Didn't you tell Granny Swordswoman and Uncle Xiaoying that...
you'd been caught in bed?
I said that out of pique. Why take me seriously?
You never take me seriously
He should be the one getting angry. Why should you be angry?
Because they accused me of something I didn't do
I was innocent, but they called me a slut
So I threw caution to the wind
Are you going soft on her?
I'm not. The phone keeps ringing, it's annoying
I want to turn it off
So turn it off
I'm turning it off. It's annoying
I'm turning it off
Who is it?
It's me, Aunt
Who are you?
Don't you recognize my voice? I'm Jinxuan
You've got the wrong flat. We don't know anyone by that name
Aunt, I'm looking for Ying
Please get him to come out
I...
Ying, I have something to tell you. Will you please come out?
What's there to say?
Listen, if you still won't leave,
I'm going to splash water on you
Ying, will you please come out?
Do it for our son's sake
I want to talk to you. Come out, please
You're a shameless woman
We won't find another woman like you
When you left,
did you spare a thought for your son?
How dare you mention the boy now?
Old hag
Did you call me "old hag"?
She didn't
I didn't, Aunt. I wouldn't call you that
I said, I've missed Boy
I haven't seen him for days...
and my heart aches for him
I've missed you, too, Ying
I've only just realized no one treats me...
better than you do
Ying
It's no use saying all this now. I...
Just go
No!
I know you didn't mean that
I won't leave until you see me
Aunt, just this once. Please, just this once
Ying!
Ignore her. Go to bed!
Ying... - OK. Goodnight
If you won't come out,
I'll wait here until you do
Youme
Weixiong
You're home
Thanks
Are you staying at your grandma's tonight?
It's already midnight
My mum's probably asleep
Have a safe journey home
Get a good rest
Goodnight
Drive safely
Weixiong
You forgot this
I need these documents for the hearing tomorrow
I think you should consider my suggestion
Explain it to your grandma and brother
I'm sure they'll understand
It's not just my grandma and brother
My mum gets agitated whenever she hears the words "nursing home"
That's because most people have a negative view...
of nursing homes and old folks’ homes
I can take your mum to visit one
The home I chose has full amenities
Your mum will receive treatment...
and professional care
It's the best option for her
This stinks to high heaven!
Is there dog poo?
Or did someone fart?
Lazy Bum?
Why are you sleeping here?
That's the least of your concerns
But someone's forcing you to send Auntie Hui to a nursing home
That's an abominable thing to do
What do you mean?
Zhentian, don't take his words seriously
Go home
Think over my suggestion
Don't say "hmm". Say "bah!"
It's late. You should go home
Look...
I'll walk you up
It's late. You may run into people with ulterior motives
Still stinks. Where's the dog poo?
I'll be fine on my own
Go on home
All right. Have a good rest
Bye
Teddy, be careful
Some people may appear human,
but are selfish and cruel on the inside
He only wants to cuddle the swan
Are you finished?
Was I wrong to call him cruel and selfish?
He wants you to send Auntie Hui to a nursing home...
and insists it's the best option for her
Even Granny Mahjong is spending more time with Auntie Hui now
What can that chap do besides farting?
Don't say anymore. Go home
I haven't got a home
I've been so busy that...
I almost forgot what you did
But serves you right
I'd thought after a day of cooling off,
you'd realize you were wrong about me
You're still a salted egg
What?
You've never seen a salted egg?
A salted egg is covered...
in a thick layer of black ash
Your brains are like a salted egg
Can you call yourself a lawyer?
Before you criticize someone, do some soul-searching
You only know how to bum around...
and stir up trouble
You can sleep at my grandma's place
What?
Do you want me to say "please"?
No need
You've realized I'm innocent?
I don't care if you're innocent or not
But my professional instinct tells me...
there are several questionable points
The salted egg has finally become...
the clear-as-day sunny-side up
If you don't shut up, scram
Oh no
Mum
Xiong, it's good to work hard
But don't neglect your health
I know why you're working so hard
You want to ace your studies...
so as to get a good job
You'll make lots of money and give your dad and me a good life
But...
It pains me...
to see you slog so hard
Xiong
Your dad and I have a good life now
Don't give yourself too much pressure
You don't have to make lots of money
I want you to be healthy,
to be happy
Go sleep in the room
Mum
It's OK. Good girl...
This feels so good
What is it?
She's under too much stress
Let her give vent to her emotions
Xiong, you're such a dear
Did you think she'd still be waiting? I bet she's gone
It's time you woke up
This woman loves only money
She loves whomever is rich
She said she wouldn't leave until she saw you
So don't leave
Wait until the money falls into her lap
She needn't pick it up
Wait until someone brings her the money
Are you finished?
Aunt, she's still outside
This calls for desperate measures
Out of my way
- What are you doing? - Chase her away
This is too much
Can't bear to?
You really think she's waiting for you?
She's waiting for your $10 million. Step aside!
Let it go
I won't. Out of my way!
Get up and leave!
We have good feng shui here
Don't camp here and ruin it
Old b...
Ying, can we talk?
Shut up! I'm going to hit you with this mop if you don't go
Save me, Ying!
Save me! - Shut up!
Don't try to play the victim. Get lost!
Ying!
Forget it, Aunt
Youme
Please leave. I didn't win $10 million
Ying, can we just talk? Please?
Ying! Ajussi!
Just shut up!
Leave or I'll splash pee on you!
Darn you, old hag!
Your fish porridge - Thanks
Dad
You still remember me? What are you doing here?
I'm looking for Jinguang
Morning, Jinguang
What are you doing here?
I'm hungry, tired and broke
Can you make me a bowl of porridge?
You're hungry? You can have this porridge
Careful
Jinguang, you're the best
We're siblings. Who else can you turn to?
Have you found Uncle Xiaoying?
He wouldn't see me
That old bag tried to whack me with a mop
You're still blaming other people?
I've told you many times
If you want to be with Uncle Xiaoying,
you've got to really settle down
If you don't want to be with him,
you should make things clear to him
I've given you all the advice I had for you
I can't help you unless you take it to heart
I want to be with him now,
but he's giving me the cold shoulder
Won't you help me?
I can't help you. You created the problem
Solve it yourself
Tell Zhou Fada I want to meet him
Why?
He created the problem. He has to answer for it
No, you created the problem
Why are you blaming Fada?
I stumbled on his secret because...
he didn't log off from his computer
What secret?
He's loaded
I knew you set Fada up...
to get your hands on his money
Your standard's getting lower
Zhou Fada spent a few years out there
I'd say maybe he managed to make 80 to 100 thousand
No, it's over a million
Yeah, right. You keep running into the God of Wealth
$1 million followed by $10 million
You'll be the death of me
Be it $1 million or $10 million, it's not your money
It's wrong to be motivated by self-interest
Know who truly cares for you
Uncle Xiaoying is true to you
Granny Swordswoman's been taking care of Boy for you
She didn't mind you were sponging off her
All right, it's all my fault
I promise you I'll change. Trust me, OK?
Jinguang, help me this once, please?
I'll call Fada. I'll see what he has to say
Thank you
I'll have my porridge
Yes
Fangfang
I thought you wouldn't notice if I watched you from afar
Still, you saw me
Actually, I just wanted to say thank you from afar
And also goodbye
You're going home?
I'm leaving tonight
If everything goes well, that is
But is it safe?
How can smuggling in or out of a country be risk-free?
Your contact will tell you,
"Your life and death is in God's hands"
Do you have enough money?
Chen Bangqing promised to give me 500 grand
You found him?
500 grand?
It's not enough to make up for the pain he caused you
I don't want a cent of his filthy money
I asked him for an explanation,
but he was full of lies and not in the least remorseful
I was so furious that I wanted to perish with him
I doused him with kerosene...
and even lit a lighter
You don't decide to kill someone and casually do it
I couldn't do it
You did the right thing
Don't get yourself killed over someone like him
It's not worth it
Believe me, he'll get his comeuppance
You're right
S0 what if I'd killed him?
I'm not afraid of going to jail
I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm afraid...
my parents will lose their financial support
He said he wanted to give me money...
to make it up to me
He told me to give him a few days
He asked to meet me today to pass me the money
But he's a sly one
This whole thing could be a con
I have my suspicions, too
But what can he do to me?
He'll call the police and have me arrested
But he must know I won't let him get away with it
He'll find himself in trouble, too
When I get out of jail,
I'll look him up again
He can't run away from me forever
Please be careful
I will
If...
I mean, if...
I still don't hear from you a month from now,
I'll send money to your parents...
during the new year and major festivals, all right?
Give me your parents‘ address and contact number
Guang
I can't thank you enough
I don't know how I can ever repay you
The risk of having your identity exposed...
didn't stop you from helping my wife and saving my unborn child
I'm the one who should be thanking you
Uncle Hai, where's Guang?
I don't know what's up with him
He was cooking halfway when he ran off
He's still not back yet
Fangfang!
I have 500 one-thousand Singapore dollar notes
That's a total of 500 grand
The bad blood between us ends right here
We'll have nothing more to do with each other
I wanted to give you a sum of money...
to settle our dispute
Then I thought back to...
the murderous hatred in your eyes...
when you doused me with kerosene...
and tried to set me ablaze
I broke out in a cold sweat
If you don't vanish from this world,
I'll never have a day of peace
I'll never know when you'll snap...
and try to kill me
Chen Bangqing
I should have set you on fire,
and perish with you
You want to die, fine
But don't drag me down with you
Do it
Kill me
Kill me and you will have committed murder
And...
you won't be able to escape justice
I deliberately drove an old car here
I'm going to have it deregistered and scrapped
You smuggled into this country, remember?
Your entry isn't recorded anywhere
It'll take much time to confirm your identity
By which time, I will have left Singapore
And I'm never coming back!
By which time, I will have left Singapore
And I'm never coming back!
Freeze!
You're surrounded by the police
Chen Bangqing, put down your weapon
Put your hands in the air, or we'll shoot
Chen Bangqing, turn around with your back facing us
Didn't I say so?
Just do as they do in drama serials
See, that moron nearly peed his pants
Let's go
You... scumbag!
You OK? - Yes
Guang, how did you two...?
Fada showed up shortly after you left
He knew you were going to meet Chen Bangqing...
I knew you wouldn't be his match
Because you're not as evil as him, nor as vicious,
nor as cold-blooded
Why have you gone quiet?
Hey, you! Stop!
Never mind about me. Go after him!
Run!
Out of the way!
Let's check on him
You OK? - Help me
Good to know
Help
There's the phone
That was dangerous driving. You nearly crashed into us
There's a penalty for damaging public property
Help me - Help you?
Sure
The police will come and help you. Bye-bye
Let's go
Don't go
Help me!
I'm sure you know what to do
I do. I'll turn myself in to the police
I'll be imprisoned and he'll also be charged
Thank you
You'd better go now
You... - What?
You did what you should and shouldn't have done
What more do you want?
Let's go
Come on
Guang
Big Brother
Thank you very much
Don't look back anymore
The past, be it beautiful or unpleasant,
move on from it and don't look back
Only the future is worth pursuing
Let's go
Hang on
Fangfang
Don't give up
Things will only get better
There's always a rainbow after the rain
What are you laughing for?
Admit it, you're a jinx
As soon as you left,
my uncle hit the Toto jackpot
Cut the crap. Will you help me or not?
I can help you patch things up with my uncle
What do I stand to gain?
I promise you I won't report you
Report me? What about?
That you have money from unknown sources
These days, there are scammers...
helping criminal organizations launder money
I believe that's how you got your money
Jinxuan, don't spout nonsense. It isn't smart
You actually believe he's capable of making so much money?
Yes
If Fada puts his mind to something,
he can do it
You're a fool
I'm not a fool
I've known Fada since we were kids
I know better than anyone else how clever he is
It's called "still waters run deep"
Am I right?
Of course
She was right
There, I told you
Since you've seen through me, I can stop pretending
You need a little cunning to make money
Let me think
How are we going to split my uncle's $10 million?
Fada
Shut up and eat
You want to get back together with my stupid uncle?
Split it down the middle
Let's divide $10 million equally
Bah!
Why should I give you half of it?
The deal's off
Fine
What?
Just tell me - deal or no deal?
Fine, deal!
It's a deal
Let's go
I said OK. Where are you going?
I'm OK with it. But I have a concert to catch
It's going to be great
I'll call you
Let's go, Guang
It's packed to the gills
Sweetie, why are there so many people?
It's Meimei. Listen...
Someone posted the news about Meimei's gig online
The phone's been ringing non-stop
Look at the crowd!
Yeah
I came to support Meimei
Seeing how busy the café is,
I decided to give Xiuzhen a hand
Thank you
Lili, I think Meimei will become another Unbelievable
Nah, she's not that good
Are you sure?
Aren't they TV artistes?
That's right
Oh no, where are we going to seat the two stars?
Des... something?
Honey! Bring out the table from the storeroom
Hurry up! - I'm right on it
Excuse me, that's enough. It's tough being a celeb
Hello, I'm the lady boss
Hello
Welcome - Hello
Is Guan Meimei performing here?
Yes. It starts at 3 pm - Sure. Thanks
Looks like it's already full
We'll find you VIP seats
I'll find you the seats. Give me a sec
Thank you
I'm looking forward to the performance
Enough
You'll look pasty without it. Come on
Meimei! You're a big star now!
The café's packed to the gills
Brother Big Brother, it means there are only 20-odd people
That's already a crowd
You know what? Two celebrities have turned up
Desmond Tan and Sora Ma
Really? - Yeah
Are you sure?
Of course. Besides the two of them,
there's also another VIP
My dad's here, too?
I couldn't care less
Dakota's Big Brother is here, too
You asked him?
I want him to watch me perform
As you wish
Oh no, oh no!
Li, what's wrong?
A reporter is asking to interview Meimei
That's great. Why are you so anxious?
Meimei can only sing; she can't give interviews
I'm worried what she'll be asked
What if Meimei blabbers on and on?
What if she says something she shouldn't have?
Li, don't you worry
Meimei has no skeletons in her closet
She's a cleaner who cleans toilets
Oh no, this is terrible!
lf the reporter gets wind of it, it'll be splashed all over the papers
Meimei's image will be tarnished
There goes her dreams of becoming a pop idol
Meimei's not a pop idol. She only loves to sing
She became an overnight pop sensation
A reporter shows up
Perhaps followed by the TV station
There are no secrets in this world
They'll try their darnedest to dig up her past
That she's a toilet cleaner,
that she stole a sweet when she was a kid,
that she farts when she sings
They'll dig the whole lot up
A pop idol crashes down to earth
Oh no! What do we do?
You're annoying
Why are you laughing?
Brother Big Brother, you're hilarious
I get it
What do you get?
I'm not some pop idol, just a girl who loves to sing
It doesn't matter what people find out about me
Like you guys, I'm just an ordinary person
Brother Big Brother, I don't fart when I sing
That table over there - I got it
Hi. I'm Guan Meimei's mother
This is my eldest daughter Guan Meiyu
Hello
May I take a photo with you? - Sure
1...
2... - Wait!
Meimei's my daughter, too
Let's take the picture
1, 2, 3
Thank you
Have a seat - Sure
Mummy, I'll send you the photo later
What are you doing here?
Our daughter asked me to come
Hi, everyone. My name is Guan Meimei
The song I'm singing is called Watching Over You
You're nuts
I've never seen a man sobbing so hard
You're embarrassing yourself
I'm not sobbing
It's windy. Sand got into my eyes
Who are you trying to kid?
You look like you were crying
I wasn't crying
I was moved
Can someone as hot-tempered as you ever get emotional?
I'm a changed man, OK?
So many people turned up today to watch Meimei perform
It was moving
People have always looked down on her
They call her slow and stupid,
that she can only get a job as a road sweeper
But she was so awesome just now
Even TV stars turned up to watch her
What's going on with you?
I feel emotional
Meimei's my idol now
Don't be ridiculous. I'm worried
What about?
A reporter's interviewing Meimei. She may blab nonsense
Like what?
Meimei's a bit daft
She may blab things she's not supposed to say
We live in a rental estate and she cleans toilets for a living
If people find out about all that,
she can't be an idol
Why didn't you stop her?
I'd tried to, but Zhou Fada said...
there were no secrets in this world
She makes an honest living...
and has nothing to hide
Your daughter agreed with him
I also agreed with him
Don't be silly
Idols are supposed to look as ethereal as fairies
Have you ever seen an idol who cleans toilets?
You're right
What are you doing?
I'll tell the reporter to be discreet
Don't get your daughter into trouble
A changed man?
You won't change in a million years!
Sorry, I won't do it again
I came to this playground all the time when I was little
I was born and grew up in Dakota Crescent
This place holds many memories for me
Unfortunately, everyone has to move out by the end of the year
Meiyu, not so high - All right
In future, this place...
will exist only in our memories
I became a cleaner
I've done different jobs, but I never stayed long in one
I kept getting fired
I'm still a cleaner now
I'm still cleaning toilets
Singing is my passion
Become a singer?
That would be a pipe dream
Granny Swordswoman
Sorry to make you come when you're so busy
Fada said you were also there that day
You were a witness
Come
She's here
Everyone's here. Can we start now?
Let's start
Come on
Stop!
What are you doing?
Eating durian
Xiuzhen's been craving durian since she got pregnant
Yes. I have to have durian every day
Uncle Xiaoying bought Mao Shan Wang. It's delicious
Did you come here to have durian or to hear me out?
We'll eat and listen at the same time
We're all ears, tell us
All right, listen carefully
You guys have it all wrong
I hate Zhou Fada
Why would I sleep with him?
So what happened, Jinxuan?
He couldn't control his lust and forced himself on me
Jinxuan, I was there at the time
You said it was consensual between you and Lazy Bum
He'd forced me to say that
Why would he force you?
How should I know? Ask him yourself
Zhou Fada, there must be more to this
This is your chance to explain yourself
You'll hear the truth from me today
I've been suppressing it for ages
But let me finish this Mao Shan Wang first
The truth is...
That's right
I couldn't control my lust and forced myself on her
