[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 06]
Mom, I'm home!
You're back? Have you eaten?
Not yet.
Go wash your hands. Dinner's almost ready.
Mom!
You're over 20 years old, and you're still acting like a baby.
How come you're like this as soon as you're home? You scared me.
I realized that I really love you.
What's wrong? Acting like a baby with your mom?
This afternoon, I personally witnessed a family fight.
From this, I realized that not all TV shows are fake.
What do you mean?
I know a person that everyone is afraid of.
He has the personality of a Demon King.
Countless people cried and turned crazy because of him!
He even does outrageous things just for a figurine.
Really?
I thought it was because he pampered when he was young,
but I found out today that he had a sad story.
Tell me about it.
Only after his parents divorced did his mother realize that she was pregnant.
She gave birth to him afterward.
Suddenly, his mother fell sick and passed away.
His father took him back to live with him,
but his stepmother hated him very much.
I personally witnessed his stepmother pushing his wheelchair-bound father who had a stroke to ask for money.
It felt like using a person to ask for a ransom.
It wasn't just the way she acted. There were darts even in what she was saying.
Even an outsider like me found it hard to hear,
even more since he is someone of substance.
His stepmother is too extreme.
Who is your family?
Don't tell others how good and successful you are.
You are just a child of a divorced woman. Are you that anxious for my love and care?
Mom.
It can't be that one can't love someone who is not their biological child?
That's not it.
Meili,
I have also heard that many adopted children are living happily, too.
There are many mothers who took them in as their own children.
Whether they are biological or not is not important.
It's more important whether the mother has a heart to love the child.
You're right!
Besides, this is someone else's business. I shouldn't think too much.
I have a loving mother.
Okay, my hands are dirty. Go and wash your hands now.
Now, go eat.
I'll help you!
No need, go wash your hands.
Okay.
I got you involved this afternoon.
My apologies.
This Demon King can even apologize?
It's okay. It's just a small misunderstanding.
Relax, I won't tell anyone.
What?
Sis, I need to talk to you.
What is it? You are acting in a fishy way.
Let me tell you first.
I'm only paying for the microphone. I won't pay for anything else.
I don't need the money for that. I'm returning it to you.
Why?
Because...
Cheng Yi company signed a contract with me.
What!
Signed a contract? What contract?
The staff at Cheng Yi said that I have potential.
They are going to make me into a celebrity. They even fought with each other over me!
Don't believe me?
Then, look at this.
I'm considered to have placed one foot into the company.
That's not right. I got both feet into it.
Jiang Meiyan. How could you have made such an important decision on your own?
If Mom finds out, she won't let you off!
I know, that's why I told you.
Sis, I know I was too impulsive this time,
but you should know that if I passed by this opportunity, I would never get another break at it again.
Sis, just help me out a little.
Please.
- Okay? - I really can't stand you.
Please?
I object.
I was never pleased with Meiyan dancing and singing.
So it was really because of this that you disregarded your studies. I definitely won't allow it!
Tomorrow, go to whatever company signed with you,
and tell them that your parents objected. Go and tell him .
The contract has already been signed.
How can it be retracted like this? It's not child's play.
Meiyan. Listen carefully.
You decided to act like you can do what you want now, right?
You're too much!
Such an important matter,
you should've at least discussed with your parents!
When you gave birth to me, you and Dad never discussed it with me.
Is that a trivial matter?
Jiang Meiyan, haven't you said enough?
Don't say anything, Meili.
What did you just say?
Say it one more time.
Let me hear you say it one more time!
You are rebelling! Shut up!
- If I don't punish you tonight, then I'm not your mom. - Mom!
Stop right there!
- Save me! - Mom!
Mom!
Mom, she may not need to drop out from school. It's not time yet.
- That's right. - Keep quiet!
What if they use that contract to force her to drop out of school? What will we do then?
Dropping out is not withdrawing. I can still catch up later.
Say that one more time!
I am going to punish you!
What did you say just now? Our family has a lot of money, is it？
To let you squander!
Seriously, you...
Mom, are you okay?
Jiang Meiyan, how can you talk like that to Mom?
Hurry and apologize.
I just wanted to sing.
Why can't you guys support me?
You always force me to do things I don't want to do.
That's right, Mom. Sis is good at studying, Sis is also smart.
You gave me the opportunity to go to college.
I'm the one who doesn't know how to treasure it.
But have you ever asked me
whether I wanted or am willing to study?
I memorized all of those hateful books because of you!
Why? Why are you always right?
You think I'm irresponsible and selfish.
Just shut up!
You have grown up.
You can now talk back to your mother!
Let me tell you. It's fine whether you want to listen or not.
It's just this.
I will not allow you to go!
If you dare to go, just regard it as I didn't give birth to you.
Mom.
Meiyan. Meiyan!
Mom. Mom. Mom.
You're back, Ruolin.
Why so late today?
Xu Ruolin was the queen in the past,
but that was two years ago.
This time, she went to the States to film a movie, which turned out to be a big joke.
A two-second appearance took her a year to shoot?
If you accidentally blinked your eyes, you might have missed her lively performance.
Such an idol singer, frankly, is just a substitute product in the market.
After replacing her, the fans will eventually forget her.
Xu Ruolin.
Don't listen.
Don't think about it.
You are the best.
You are the best!
Yiqiang, I'm leaving.
Call me if anything comes up.
Mom.
I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to see you.
Do you miss me?
Who is your family?
Don't think you are so great and successful.
You are just the child of a divorced woman.
I know
my existence brings a lot of pain to Aunt.
Even when she did bad things to me or talked badly about me,
I never blamed her.
But as for dad,
I will never forgive him!
Because during your last moments, he wasn't by your side.
♫ Little child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ Perhaps your friends left, and now there's a loneliness that won't go ♫
♫ Beautiful child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ Perhaps you dirtied your pretty clothes, and had no one to tell ♫
♫ Clever child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ Perhaps you lost your beloved present, searching from morning 'til night ♫
♫ My dear child, why didn't you let me see clearly? ♫
♫ Perhaps the wind blew out the candle, leaving you to walk alone in the dark ♫
♫ My dear child, wipe away your tears ♫
♫ I'll be there with you ♫
♫ To walk on this path back home ♫
[Can't Bear to Part With]
Drink slowly, Mr. Guan.
Thank you.
Teacher Wang, I'm sorry for imposing on you.
You are not imposing on me.
Frankly, I have always wanted to invite you here.
I wanted to say thank you face-to-face.
The first album that you produced for Xu Ruolin was excellent.
I wanted to tell you that, without you, Ruolin's performance would not have been that remarkable.
Teacher Wang, you are overpraising me.
I should be the one thanking you.
When I was young, my mother left me.
During that time, it was your song "Beautiful Child" that comforted me.
♫ Beautiful child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ If you dirtied your pretty clothes, but there was no one to talk to ♫
I often look at my mother's photo and sing to her,
hoping she would hear it.
Most kids have their mother sing it to them,
but it was through Teacher Wang on TV, that I learnt this song.
I learnt this on my own by watching television.
Aunt Xiao Zhang is the baddest. She never lets me watch until the end.
Teacher Wang?
I apologize, I was just thinking,
your mother must have regretted that she didn't see you grow up.
A few days ago, when I went to visit my mother,
the television just happened to be playing "My Dear Child."
That time it left me a very deep feeling
and also inspired me to write a new song called "Still Reluctant To Leave".
For Part B, I hope that Teacher Wang can sing it.
This is the demo for the song.
I hope you will give me a chance and listen to it.
I sincerely apologize,
it's been too many years.
I think my singing skills are lacking,
so I'm afraid I might disappoint you.
I know that for twenty years, you have rejected all engagements.
You are even not willing to do a commercial.
But I have to say that this song really can be interpreted only by yourself.
Mom.
Didn't you say we were going to go shopping? How come you have a guest?
I have such a bad memory! Sorry, Director Guan.
Usually Director Guan is very busy. I tried to arrange a meeting with him countless time, but he couldn't make it.
Now you're having tea with my Mom, why didn't you tell me?
Since Teacher Wang already has an appointment, I won't disturb you anymore.
I hope we can collaborate again one day..
Mom, why did you give up such a good opportunity?
At that time, if it weren't for my identity as a singer
and the issue regarding Rourou,
I wouldn't have failed with Rourou.
No matter how great an opportunity,
it can't be compared to a family's happy life.
Right now, I only want to be an ordinary person
for my family.
Since you don't want to make a comeback, can you do me a favor?
♫ You are my little apple ♫
♫ I'm finally back from work ♫
So many good foods!
Tasty!
What happened?
I worked late last night. Did I miss a good show?
Dear. Two days ago, I remembered something.
That family photo that we took, wasn't it lost in the floods?
When should the four of us take the photo again?
Okay.
It's a peony flower.
Jiang Weiguo, is this joke funny?
That's right, it's not funny at all.
Dad, Mom has high blood pressure. Don't scare her.
That's how it should be.
Jiang family has three women who must be unified.
There can't be internal conflicts.
Did something big happen? Another mother-daughter fight?
Did Meili give money to Meiyan again?
Then, it must be because Meiyan wants to be a singer.
Dad.
What?
No matter how much Mom disapproves, I will become a famous singer!
What? A famous star?
Then I will remind you clearly, I will never agree!
I will become one whether you agree or not!
It wasn't easy to get this chance. I won't give up!
- Meiyan. - I can't eat anymore.- Mom.
Mom!
Dad.
Mom, mom, mom!
What happened?
I seem to have sprained my ankle two days ago.
Should I take you to the hospital?
No, it's alright. Let's just sit down somewhere.
I will find Weifang to massage it for me later.
- Is it really okay? - It's fine!
Try to walk.
Slowly.
This child, seriously. Come.
Enjoy.
Thanks.
Seriously, I already said that I'm fine with drinking just water.
Why order such an expensive drink?
Don't you know that these two drinks are worth a night's groceries?
Mom, since we're already here,
just relax. It's good for your health.
Don't you want to try their signature items and check how good it is?
I have never drank such expensive coffee in my lifetime.
This is also my first time.
Alright, drink yours.
Bitter!
Bitter? Let me taste it.
It's just like Chinese medicine. It's hard to drink.
What a waste.
From what I see, this is similar to Meiyan.
What does this have to do with Meiyan?
Of course it does..
Everyday she talks about being a singer,
but once she really becomes one and experiences the bitterness of it,
she will realize that this industry is bitter just like this coffee.
She can't just look at the cream on top.
The work is very bitter.
I get it now.
You beat around the bush just to speak up on behalf of your sister, right?
Meili, don't blame me for saying this. You and your father pamper her too much.
We are not pampering her.
Think about it. She doesn't have interest in studying and wanted to give up more than twice.
She has always wanted to be a celebrity since she was young.
Moreover, she has kept this dream for years.
Do you remember the competition she did when she was younger?
She won the first prize and even brought home a television set for us.
Don't remind me of that.
It's not like you don't know. Look at her competitors.
It was between a seventy year old grandmother and a seven year old girl.
Anyone could've made it by singing a whole song without forgetting a word.
But Meiyan's performance was really great, right?
The TV we got as a prize is proof of that.
Really?
Mom, give her a year to chase her dreams and to try it out.
When she ultimately wants to give up,
at least, she won't be dissatisfied.
The most important thing is that we gave her a chance.
Child, I always hear you worrying about your father and younger sister.
I've never heard you say what you wanted to do in life.
That's because I don't lack anything.
I have a warm family. I have a a loving father and mother,
and even a stubborn sister.
I wish our family can always be happy together.
Every morning, Meiyan would wake me up noisily.
When I go back in the evening, there is dinner waiting for me.
If I have a celebrity younger sister, it will be perfect.
Meiyan is lucky to have an older sister like you.
Mom.
Why would Teacher Wang make an appointment to meet me here?
Hi. We meet again.
Is Teacher Wang inside?
Must we stand here and talk? We are both public figures.
If we are photographed by others, we will be in the headlines tomorrow.
So, you used Teacher Wang's name to trick me into coming here.
My Mom felt bad rejecting you directly,
so I'm passing on her decision in her stead.
Since we have already met, why don't you enjoy some fine wine and food with me?
It has been a long time since I could eat so leisurely.
I bought your favorite steak.
I know you like it medium rare.
Since I have received Teacher Wang's answer, let's not waste our time.
- Are you still angry with me? - Yes!
Hence, please stop arranging such unsuitable methods to meet.
If you want to talk about work, let's do it in the company.
Also, just call me only once. Don't keep calling me again.
I know you want to collaborate with my Mom.
I can help you persuade my Mom to sing together with me.
Our new album can be a duet between a mother and daughter.
How about it? Isn't it a good idea?
Yes, it is.
But it's a pity that the song doesn't suit you.
I already have someone else in mind. I don't need your help.
You can persuade Teacher Wang on your own.
Guan Yi!
Do we have to act like this?
Can we really not return to how we were like in the past?
Let go of me.
No. I can't.
I can't!
No!
Xu Ruolin, should I remind you?
We have already broken up.
To put it correctly, it was a bad separation.
When you chose to give me up, starting from then,
you should have known that we could no longer be together.
I know that I was wrong. That's why I'm willing to lower my head and beg you.
Weren't we happy before?
Why can't we be like before?
Must you still hang onto the bad memories?
So, my proposal was a bad memory to you?
- You know that's not what I meant! - Then what did you mean?
You abandoned me in the church, waiting like a fool until late in the night!
Only after I returned home and turned on the TV, did I realize you'd already left for America.
Xu Ruolin, do you know how much you hurt me?
That day...
I arrived at the entrance of the church,
but I had no guts to see you.
Because I knew that if I saw you, I wouldn't be able to leave.
Guan Yi.
I know you're mad!
But can't you try to understand me?
I was only 25! It wasn't easy getting where I am now.
Don't tell me you wanted me to give up everything for marriage?
I don't want to become like Wang Xuan. It's not the life I want to live!
So you chose to push me away by going away
for one year, without any news.
Xu Ruolin, what did you take my feelings for?
I thought that even if the whole world didn't want me,
I would still have you.
I know that I was too confident!
Like when I went to America to promote,
I wanted to give up many times
and buy the tickets to return to your side.
But when I think about those who were laughing at me,
I could only endure it.
After shooting a movie for a year, I only had two seconds of appearance.
I still needed to endure it.
The company used to treat me like a queen,
but now that they have changed management, they want to get rid of me.
Enough.
Don't say anymore.
Because now, besides rage, I don't have any feelings towards you.
Guan Yi!
Xu Ruolin, you can't lose!
I will definitely find a way to return things back to the way it was before.
Do we really have to be like this?
Can we really not return to how it was like before?
I thought that even if the whole world didn't want me,
I would still have you.
Today's steak is very tough.
Mine is done medium.
♫ I fell in love without realizing it ♫
♫ There are no other reasons ♫
♫ My mind only spins for you ♫
♫ Don't look away anymore ♫
♫ Admit that you're in love too ♫
♫ I fell in love without realizing it ♫
♫ There's nothing holding me back ♫
♫ I've already given you my heart, but it wasn't enough ♫
♫ That's when I realized that my life is only complete with you ♫
♫ I fell in love without realizing it ♫
♫ There's nothing holding me back ♫
♫ I've already given you my heart, but it wasn't enough ♫
♫ That's when I realized that my life is only complete with you ♫
How did it go?
Guan Yi rejected me.
He wrote a song for a mother and daughter duet,
yet he only wanted you and not me.
Don't worry. I don't plan to say yes to Guan Yi.
Very impressive. Indirectly saying that I can't compare to you.
That's not what I meant.
If you really feel sorry, you should persuade Guan Yi
and tell him that this song should be sung by us as a duet.
Guan Yi respects you very much, so he will definitely agree.
Ruolin. I can help you in anything else,
except this. I really can't help you.
I only insist you help me in this.
If you don't want to help me, then don't talk to me.
Okay, I know.
Sorry, Director Guan is in a meeting now.
Would you like to take a seat first? Let me get you a cup of water.
No need to go through that trouble. I just came here to take a look.
If that's the case,
Director Guan told me that you are free to take a look around.
Really?
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it. This way, please.
Not bad.
I remember the post office is recruiting now.
You can go to register on Wednesday.
Moreover, there is the kindergarten next door who is looking for a teacher. You can give it a try.
If this is the result of training for a month,
let me advise you to give up.
You can't be singers. Don't waste our time.
A bad performance is not the worst.
What's most terrible is that
you don't even know that you are not good enough.
You're even able to stand here and smile.
You don't even know yourselves.
If I were you, I would've already been at home crying while holding a doll.
Don't think that showbiz is glamorous.
It is very ruthless.
Once you reach 30 years of age, you will be without anything left.
Why don't you choose to leave instead and live as an ordinary person?
I don't want to apologize to your parents and say that I didn't warn you.
You are crying?
Do you think this is Nobita (a cartoon series)?
Did you think that just because you cried,
I would be like Doraemon popping up in front of you and resolving all of your problems?
Go back and practice again!
Don't think that just anyone can join Cheng Yi.
You should treasure this opportunity well.
Tomorrow, at this time,
if you let me hear this horrible singing again,
don't ever come back again.
You are...
Hello. My daughter just signed with your company.
I was worried and came here to take a look.
You are very strict with your students.
I can understand how you feel,
but I need to tell you that this is very common here.
You must be mentally prepared.
There will be a long period of time where your daughter will be very tired and go home crying.
It's okay. I...
Hello. Are you Jiang Meiyan's mother?
I am.
You...
I am Meiyan's compositor. My name is Zhang Quan.
Hello, Director Zhang.
It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to my office.
Okay.
This way, please.
Please take a seat first.
Smells good, really good!
There was a storm in the morning, and the sun rose at night. (Fighting in the morning, happy at night.)
What's wrong with this family?
Jiang Weiguo. It's evening. Where is the sun?
Meili, tell your sister to eat dinner.
I'm starving.
Meiyan.
Sis, you are finally home.
I'm starving to death! Fortunately, I hid a cup of bubble tea.
Can you steal two buns for me, please?
If you are hungry, come down and eat with us.
I'm not going.
I want Mom to know my determination.
You even asked me to steal a bun for you, and you're still talking about determination?
You stayed in the house and stole a bun for the day. Can you do it forever?
In addition, you know that Mom's health is not good. You still want to make her angry?
Jiang Meiyan, listen carefully.
If you don't apologize to Mom, I won't take your side no matter what happens in the future.
I will regard it as if I don't have a younger sister.
Sis, how could you threaten me?
Okay, I will listen to you.
Mom said she doesn't want a daughter like me. Even you don't want a younger sister like me now.
Don't tell me Dad picked me up from somewhere?
You! When you come down later, bring your shamelessness
and apologize to Mom properly. Did you hear me?
I get it.
Let's go.
Come, sit down now.
Meiyan. Look, your Mom personally cooked
all your favorite food.
Have some, quick.
Come, let's eat.
She can't eat this.
- Why? - Why?
You can't even control yourself around food?
Why did you sign with a company? How are you going to be a singer?
What does she mean?
Starting from today, after 3, you are only allowed to eat this.
Look at how greasy this fatty meat is.
How many weight you would gain from eating that?
Also, are you able to eat chilis? Will you be able to sing after eating these?
Mom. Why did you suddenly change your mind?
After talking with you yesterday, I thought a lot about it.
I went to check out Cheng Yi this afternoon.
I realized that the company you entered is a pretty reliable company.
So, Mom, you have given me your consent?
Everyone is already anticipating you.
As a mother, if I say you can't do it, you will be hurt, right?
I remember when you were young and just started to learn how to walk.
You always choose the road with lots of rocks.
No matter how much your father and I tried to tell you to come back,
you refused to.
I was just thinking. Who does this brat take after?
Such a stubborn temper.
I also know, in my heart,
you should take your own path.
I know there will come a day when I must let go.
It's just that I didn't imagine
that the day will come so soon.
Furthermore, the path that you have chosen is so difficult.
Mom, Meiyan will work hard.
She won't disappoint you.
Mom, sorry.
In the past, I was too harsh with my words.
I don't know why I spoke without thinking.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Mom was wrong too.
I shouldn't have dashed your dream that fast.
Why are you crying?
Child, you chose this path on your own.
You must be persistent.
Don't worry. Your father and I, and your sister -
we will support you unconditionally.
Stop crying.
Okay, stop crying.
Let's eat now.
Okay.
If not,
the food will be cold.
From now on, with all of our sincerity and all of our hearts,
unconditionally, let's support Meiyan!
Fighting!
- Yay! - Let's eat.
Let's eat now.
I can't do it anymore.
Hurry up.
I can't.
Why are you giving up so soon?
It's so tiring.
In my opinion, you lack regular exercise.
If you were like me, doing everything, I'm sure you would have lot of endurance.
I don't want to.
How about this. Starting from today, get up at 5am every morning.
Come here and run for about... fifty rounds! It's good for your endurance.
Fifty rounds?
We've only ran for twelve rounds. Hurry up and run!
- Get up. - Okay, fine.
One, two. One, two.
How many rounds left?
Thirty rounds.
Thirty rounds?
Hurry up.
I can't do it anymore. It's so tiring.
♫ Oh oh oh, if you love then stop acting ♫
♫ Straight through your sense of sight ♫
♫ Oh oh oh, is there any feelings? ♫
♫ Your heartbeat is clearer ♫
♫ Think, what am I hinting at? ♫
♫ The atmosphere is piling up ♫
♫ Leave your cowardliness outside the door ♫
Weifeng ge. Why are you picking me up from class today?
I went to your home earlier.
Your father said that you are still not back from classes. He was going to pick you up,
so I told him that it's better for me to go.
- Thanks. - Don't mention it.
Why is tonight suddenly so cold?
Let's do this. Put you hands in my pockets.
As long as your hands are not cold, you won't be cold.
Meiyan, is your dance training tough?
Not at all.
If I can follow our dream, it's not tiring at all.
Don't worry. I've already prepared everything for you.
Once you get home, take a bath with camphor leaves, mugwort, and callicarpa leaves.
This way, you can relieve your fatigue.
Meiyan?

♫ just forget how much I once loved you ♫
