[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 10]
Even if Emperor Guan shows mercy and uses the 300,000 to save people,
how will you compensate for hitting me? I'll still report you!
- What are you doing? - Let's just talk about this.
Listen carefully.
I'm someone who's never feared inconveniences.
If you wish to report me, feel free to do so. I'll take you on until the end.
But if you dare cause trouble for the two sisters, I won't take it lying down.
Guan Yi! Where are you going?
Get back here! I'm not done talking!
Don't think you've beaten me! Do you really think that you're Emperor Guan?
- Director. - Why must I be humiliated by him?
No! What right does he have to hit me in the office? Everyone saw it!
Sha Sha Jie, this is actually the first time I wanted to applaud and praise our director
for his words and not for his music.
If I had a say, a villain like Zhang Quan
should have been reprimanded by someone long ago.
Don't you think it's strange?
Strange? What's strange?
The Devil actually can curse at people for lacking compassion.
That's something he's never even had.
Why did it suddenly develop at a time like this?
You're right!
I was wondering, when did our director develop compassion?
I say...
My daughter studies diligently all of a sudden,
and Dad is working very hard. All of this had a reason behind it.
If I didn't personally go to Cheng Yi today,
and hear the truth from them,
I wouldn't have known how long you guys planned to keep me in the dark.
Tell me! How long were you planning to keep me in the dark?
Wife, the children were afraid of bringing you trouble.
Bring what trouble to me?
After such a big problem occurred,
you actually dared to side with them and keep me in the dark.
How are you being a father to them?
You really are such a dotard!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Wife, Wife, what's wrong?
- Don't scare me! - Meiyan, what are you doing standing there? Hurry and bring some medicine over here.
Mom!
Wife, hurry and drink some water.
Mom, the medicine is here. It's this bottle, right?
Here, the medicine.
You deliberately want to make me angry to death!
Why do still want me to take medicine?
I'll rather die then.
Because I will still die of anger anyways if I continue to live!
Mom, Meiyan knows that she's wrong now. She won't do so again.
What does she not dare to do?
Because whatever happens, she still will always have her older sister to support her.
Meili, Mom originally didn't want to say this to you,
but when Meiyan does something wrong, why do you follow her and also do things wrong?
You've indulged into her fantasy and helped her sing!
Do you think what you're doing is called loving her?
Mom is telling you now, what you're doing is hurting her!
You cry. What are you crying for?!
From beginning to the end, it was you who had that unrealistic dream of becoming a celebrity.
Now, see what gigantic problem you have caused!
And now that I have discovered this, I am going crazy!
Has water entered into my head?
I don't remember the weight of the child I gave birth to anymore,
but if I believe that you can become a strong, grand singer,
I... I really must be going crazy!
Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I will definitely take all responsibility to the end.
Jie already has gathered all the money.
I will defer studying and go to work, to make money to pay back everything.
This time, I won't become a burden to anyone.
Mom, I'm sorry. Don't be mad anymore.
What did you say? You will responsibility?
Tell me how you will take responsibility.
300,000. Where on earth will I find 300,000 RMB?
Didn't you just say that you will defer studying and go work?
Okay, I agree.
You go and take responsibility. After all, you are not a little kid anymore.
See for yourself this time,
how nearly you have ruined this family!
Earlier Meiyan said that you have finished gathering all the money.
You borrowed it, right? Who did you borrow it from?
The company, Weifeng, and some of my own savings.
How about this, this afternoon Mom will go with you to Cheng Yi.
There is still some jewelry in the house. I will go and pawn them.
It doesn't matter. We can return as much as possible.
Mom, earlier, Director Guan already vouched for us.
We don't need to hastily return the money right now. You aren't feeling too well, so you shouldn't go.
Yes, yes. You shouldn't make an appearance for this matter.
Why shouldn't I make an appearance? The child has caused such a big problem.
We, as parents,
should we hide behind the back of our children and let them face this alone?
Is this how you, Jiang Weiguo, as a father, should behave?
Do you know, when I went to the company today,
how those people looked at me?
They assumed that our children did not have good parental upbringing,
that we didn't teach our children correctly! (as in moral and ethical values that the Chinese have a high regard for)
And so, that's why we have given birth to sisters that swindle others.
Let me tell you, I must go!
I will take them both. I will bring the money.
I will bow to them, and I will apologize to them,
for not teaching my children properly.
Meili, let's go.
Let's go.
I can see it now.
There's something else you're keeping from me.
I can see it on your faces.
You guys still won't say it?
Do I have to die of madness for you guys to tell me?
Say it!
We don't need to go. We have no money to give them.
No money? Dad, what do you mean by that?
What did you say? Say it clearly.
I wanted to help Meili, so I went to Boss Chen to make an investment.
But it never crossed my mind that Boss Chen was a swindler!
He took the money and ran away!
Was it the money that Meili borrowed to help Meiyan pay for her debt?
You...
Mom, Mom!
- Wife, Wife, don't do this! - Let go!
I really haven't exercise in a long time.
However, that punch to Zhang Quan will bring him pain for a few days.
It's addicting.
I wonder how Jiang Meili is right now.
Mom.
Mom, take your medicine.
Don't worry, I already found a solution.
Actually, Guan Yi came to me many times,
hoping that I would sign with him, to sing a song.
Yes, it's true! Director Guan has mentioned that before.
He said that if Meili agreed to sing his song, he would help us solve the problem about my penalty fee.
- Is it true? -Yes.
At that time, I will be able to get my pay in advance.
In the future, we'll just have to pay it back little by little.
This child, this child... Why didn't you say it earlier?
Such a simple solution to our problem!
If you said it earlier, your dad wouldn't be ashamed while asking for money in banks.
This child, really...
I oppose!
Mom, this is our only option now.
Right, let's do this!
Meili, let's find Mr. Guan now.
Stay here! Don't you see it?
Meili doesn't like it!
If our child doesn't like to do something, we don't force her to do it.
At worst, let them sue us.
Mom! The one they want to sue is me! What about me?
Yes, Wife!
After taking your medicine, have you gone out of your mind or something?
We aren't pushing Meili into a fire.
We're going to make her a singer!
Once the contract signed, the problem is solved!
And maybe, she suits this kind of job,
and can even help Meiyan in the future!
Jiang Weiguo!
You dare to say those words?
We already ruined a daughter. Do you want to ruin a second one?
Did you ever think about it?
Since Meili graduated from high school, she has borne all our family's needs and problems.
The little amount you earn isn't even enough for us to eat!
- Mom, don't say anymore. - How can I stop?
As a dad, you stole your daughter's money,
and now you are taking our child to repay debts?
Don't you feel embarrassed?
Don't you even feel a little bit ashamed?
Ashamed? Ashamed of what? I raised her!
Even if she... repays me a little bit now, that's not asking for too much!
I warn you, don't say nonsense!
Do you want to destroy the family?
I can finally see through you.
You... You are no-good and useless!
Yes, but no matter how useless I am, I can't be worse than her birth parents!
- Dad, what nonsense are you saying? - It's not nonsense!
Originally, your sister was picked up in the street!
At that time, your mom was pregnant with you.
Our family was that poor, but I clenched my teeth and adopted her anyway.
I know that I'm not a good father!
But I still raised her with difficulty for all these years.
Did I do something wrong to her? Tell me!
Mei... Meili...
- It's not like how your father said– - Is what Dad said true?
I'm really not your daughter?
No wonder.
I should have guessed it sooner.
In fact, it was pretty obvious, wasn't it?
Dad always loved to say,
"As expected, Meiyan is my daughter."
And Mom would glare at Dad.
Mom always apologizes to me, no matter what, saying that this family has been rough to me.
If we really were family,
then she wouldn't have to say things like this.
Moreover,
when it comes to using money, you're always on guard,
always wanting to do everything by yourself.
- It's not like that, my child– - Mom.
I know what you are going to say.
I know you love me.
My heart knows it clearly.
Meili, it's not like that.
I'm going to go calm down.
Meili...!
Meili...
- Mom! - Wife!
Wife.
Mom, are you okay?
You bastard!
I tell you! If my Meili doesn't return home today, I...
I... l'll never forgive you!
I lost my mind. I only said those things because I lost my mind then!
How many times did I tell you to let me have some dignity in front of the children?
You just never listen to me!
Mom, Mom!
Yes, but no matter how useless I am, I can't be worse than her birth parents!
Originally, your sister was picked up in the street!
At that time, your mother was pregnant with you!
Our family was so poor, but I clenched my teeth and adopted her anyway!
But I endured all these difficulties, raising her during all these years.
What wrong did I do to her?
When I was little, I never knew why.
Wife, look at her, she's so cute!
I thought about her name. Let's call her Meiyan.
Just by hearing her name, we can tell how beautiful she is.
Look at her big eyes! She is smiling!
I finally understand all of it...
It's all because
I'm not really theirs.
Lower your voice. Don't let your sister knows about it!
If she finds out, you will have to share with her.
♫ Did you cry today? ♫
♫ Did you dirty your pretty clothes, unable to find someone to confide in? ♫
♫ Smart child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ Did you lose your beloved present, searching in the wind, from dawn until dusk? ♫
Mom heard that a lot of adopted children live a happy life.
And there are also many birth mothers would mistreat their children.
So it doesn't really matter if you gave birth to the child.
What really matters is if the mom has a heart and can really love the child.
Anyway, I have a mom who loves me.
What am I thinking?
I have such a wonderful family.
I have a dad, a mom, a younger sister.
I should be content with having a family.
So what should I be sad about?
What does it matter if you are their real child or not?
This is the time for me to repay Mom and Dad.
A family should get through their trials and hardships together.
I need to summon up my courage.
Meiyan.
Jie, where are you? Mom fainted!
What?
Jingshu, Jingshu, what happened to you?
Jingshu, hang in there!
What happened to Mom? Did she take the medicine?
It's all Dad's fault! Actually all those gold necklaces and rings were taken and sold by Dad!
Mom got so angry that she fainted!
- What? - Hurry and get in the car!
Let's first get to the hospital and then talk!
[Operation Room]
Xiao Lan, help me request two days of absence from the boss.
Yes, I need to first check on my mom's condition. And then I'll contact you.
Nurse! Nurse!
Nurse, nurse! How is my wife's condition? Is it serious?
Her blood pressure is high, and the doctor said she must stay in the hospital for further examination.
Why don't you first go to pay the hospital deposit?
- Hospital deposit? - We need to pay money again?
Where does our family have money?
Where do we have any money?
Let me die instead, I really can't take it anymore.
- I'm so annoyed. - There's no money.
Jiang Meili, is there anything wrong?
I'm fine.
Do you think I am a fool?
How is it possible that nothing is wrong?
If it was so easy to persuade your mom, you wouldn't have kept it hidden from her until now.
Guan Yi, do you still need me to sing that song?
Of course.
Why? Are you agreeing?
Yes, I am agreeing. However, I need to get paid in advance.
That's no problem at all. As long as you are willing to sing, money is definitely not the problem.
I am at home right now. You can come over to pick up the money, and we might as well practice the song together.
I will be right there.
This is the song you will be recording.
And here is the 20000 RMB contract money.
Meiyan, take this 20000 RMB and go back first.
Thank you.
Why do you need money so urgently? What's happened?
Nothing happened.
Didn't you want me to come over to practice the song with you? Let's start now.
Jiang Meili, no matter what tricks I used to persuade you before, you refused to sing.
Since you've so easily agreed now, I think something's not right.
There is nothing wrong!
I just want to make money, so just stop bothering about it anymore!
I'm sorry. I was very impolite, and I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.
I do that to others as well, so it doesn't matter. Think of it as warming up your voice.
♫ The brightest stars in the night sky once fell non-stop ♫
Stop. Wait a second.
You can try these two sentences and bring out more emotion in them.
♫ No one could have prepared for it ♫
♫ It isn't rain that falls from the sky, it's the stars' tears ♫
♫ People of this city, just for a little taste of happiness ♫
Today you can just practice up to here.
Go back and familiarize yourself with the song, and remember the points I told you.
- Then when do I start singing? - Tomorrow.
So soon?
After what has just happened, the higher ups in the company are not quite reassured, so they want to listen first.
But don't worry.
With me here, they won't dare do anything to you.
Don't worry, I will try my best.
Weifeng.
- You're here. - You're awake?
Are you hungry? I cooked chicken soup for you.
I'm starving. I didn't eat for the whole day.
It's such a big container. Let's have this together.
Okay, let's eat while it's hot.
You must be tired from waiting here. Here's the spoon.
- It smells so good. - Right?
It's probably better that I don't disturb them.
- There are two? - Yes.
Don't bother to persuade me again.
In any case, I won't sing.
Why? Why won't you sing?
I don't know either.
In any case, stop coming here.
Why do you need money so urgently? What happened?
Nothing happened.
I only want to make money. Mind your own business.
It's not possible that nothing happened. She must be hiding something from me.
Over here.
Sing some lines of a song into the microphone first. We'll test the audio levels.
Director.
♫ Little child, did you cry today? ♫
♫ Did all your friends leave? Leaving you with loneliness that can't be taken away ♫
Check the back of the recording studio and
see if anyone is hiding there and singing on her behalf.
♫ Beautiful child, did you cry today? ♫
Okay, we have done the sound check.
Next, just relax and sing.
Don't be nervous, okay?
I'll play it from the beginning.
Begin from the B part after 6 beats.
It's the first try so you just have to do it according to your feelings.
Okay.
No. If I don't sing now, the medical expenses for Mom will be gone.
Don't ever sing or I will harm your mother.
♫ Little child ♫
♫ Did you cry today? ♫
♫ Did all your friends leave... ♫
This is the good voice acknowledged by Director Guan?
It's really an eye opener.
Meili? Meili!
One can't finish the song and the other can't even sing. And they still want to be celebrities?
These two Jiang sisters are defective products.
Move aside.
Jiang Meili.
Don't!
Don't! Don't abandon me!
Don't.
Don't worry. No one will abandon you.
Sorry.
I don't know what happened.
You just fainted in the recording room. It should be due to your claustrophobia,
but now that you are out, everything should be fine.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think there would be a problem at the recording studio.
I've caused you trouble.
Anyway, we can't record today.
I will take you home.
It's okay. I can do it. I want to record again.
You can't even stand properly, and you are still forcing yourself to be strong.
I say, Jiang Meili. Can't you be good and listen for once?
But I took your money. I should work for it.
I don't want to be so irresponsible.
You are having difficulties breathing now. How are you going to sing?
If you force yourself to sing, will it sound good?
Releasing your voice with this standard, are you trying to ruin my label?
Listen carefully. Now is not the time to try to be strong.
Your health is more important.
Let's talk about the recording another day. I will take you home.
Director, you still have a meeting with Chairman Zhao. They are waiting for you to go back.
Xu Ruolin is also there.
I'm going back first.
Jiang Meili.
No matter what, I'm still a contracted artist with the company. I also made a lot of profits for the company.
If Guan Yi wanted to find someone else to sing, you both should have rejected him on my behalf.
In the end, not only didn't you do that, both of you even agreed to it!
Ruolin, why are you flaring up at us?
I think you should know Guan Yi's personality.
Where work is concerned, no one can change his decision.
Manager Li is right. We already tried our best.
If not, he wouldn't have let us listen to Jiang Meili's singing.
Ruolin, don't worry.
Even if Jiang Meili enters the recording studio, we still have the reasons to reject her.
Chairman Zhao, Manager Li.
Where is your director?
He...
Why are you hesitating? Tell me now.
Director said that he will resolve Jiang Meili's problem.
He doesn't want to waste anyone's time by discussing it.
If I change to a bigger recording studio, this problem may be resolved.
Ruolin.
Can you stop insisting?
You... Ruolin.
Let me tell Director Guan in advance first.
Director, Xu Ruolin is here to see you.
She is standing in front of me. I can see that.
Guan Yi, do you really take me for an idiot?
What are you trying to say?
At that time, I thought you were just angry with me, and that's why you didn't want me to sing.
I realized now that I'm wrong.
You have personal feelings for Jiang Meili. That's why you let her sing.
Xu Ruolin, do you want to change your line of work?
Your imagination is way better than your singing ability.
Do you dare to say you don't have any?
Jiang Meili only fainted. Why were you so anxious about it?
She ruined her recording and made you a laughing stock in front of everyone, and still, you were not angry.
My singer had a problem with her health. Furthermore, she didn't know she was sick.
- Why should I be angry? - You...
To add further, I forced her to sing. That's why this happened.
- I should take responsibility for it too. - Who are you?
You are Cheng Yi's Demon King, Emperor Guan. You have never taken responsibility for anyone.
When did your relationship come to this stage that you want to take responsibility for her?
I don't care whether you do or not.
In any case, I'm the only one who can sing with Wang Xuan.
It's because I'm Wang Xuan's daughter. No one can change this fact.
Meiyan.
Sis, you are back.
How was your recording?
What's wrong with your face?
Did something happened again?
Nothing happened. Don't speculate.
How is Mom?
Mom is already awake. The doctor said that her condition is stable.
That's good. I don't have to worry then.
The nurse wanted me to sign some documents.
I'm going over for a while. Wait with Dad here first.
Go then.
Meili.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have said those words to you.
Can you forgive me?
I know.
No matter what I say now, you won't believe me.
But I really didn't mean what I said that day. It's true.
I don't know why either. My brain could have been possessed.
I just spit out those words.
If you don't want to call me Dad again,
I won't be angry.
I can understand.
Who is Chen Jingshu's family member?
We are.
It's visiting time now. One of you can go in to see her.
I will go.
Daughter,
go in then.
Mom.
Mom, you are awake.
Mom, how do you feel? Are you okay?
I'm going to get the doctor.
Meili.
I thought you won't come back again.
Mom. Look at you.
If I don't go home, where can I go?
Blame me for hiding this from you.
Do you know?
When you were five years old, and appeared in front of me,
you were like a little angel.
No matter what I asked you, you said you didn't know.
Your dad said it would be too much trouble,
so he wanted to send you away.
In the end, you took a bun,
and wandered off.
Then you came back home to find me,
and you even saved my life.
At that time, I thought,
this daughter of mine must be a gift from God.
If her family didn't come to find her,
I would keep her by my side.
In the first few years,
I kept worrying about how I'd explain it to you
when you grew up.
But the days
just passed by, and it was already two years.
I suddenly realized that it wasn't important at all.
Because in my heart,
I had already taken you to be my biological daughter.
So Meili,
when your dad revealed everything that day,
do you know how afraid I was?
I was afraid that you would leave.
I was afraid that you would never come back.
That wouldn't happen.
Mom, didn't you already say?
Whether you gave birth to me or not isn't important.
What's important is whether we genuinely love each other.
In my heart,
you'll always be my parents, and Meiyan will always be my little sister.
Unless you don't want me anymore.
Otherwise, I will never leave this family.
They treat Rourou as their biological daughter,
and took care of her for 25 years.
He's afraid that once Rourou sees you, her biological mother,
it will bring some difficulty to their family.
You're back?
Mom, do you know what? Guan Yi really went to find another person to sing!
Director Guan mentioned it to me.
But I heard that she couldn't sing, and it's all been cancelled.
You know about this too?
Why didn't you tell me? Did you hide it from me on purpose?
I didn't tell you to avoid you from thinking about nonsense.
At that time I clearly said to Director Guan
that I only agreed to sing the song because of you.
But he hoped that I would listen to this other voice,
and decide after giving that person a chance to sing.
Our of respect, I agreed to it.
But that doesn't mean the outcome will change.
In my heart, the only person who fits the song is you.
The song is a duet between a mother and her daughter.
It only has meaning if I sing it with my own daughter.
Ruolin,
I'm wholeheartedly treating you as my daughter.
I really expect this collaboration can give us
a beautiful memory.
Mom,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have talked to you with that attitude.
I admit it, I treated this matter
with too much importance.
But you have to believe me. Since the last time you spoke with me,
I told myself that I have to really consider you as my own mother.
Alright, I understand.
It's alright, we'll take this slowly.
Dad said it right. Mom is considering me with all her heart,
and it's me who doesn't know how lucky I am.
Forget it. It's better to tell Ruolin about Rourou
after she's agreed to meet with me.
How much does it cost?
Miss, the total you have to pay is $2,800.
Doctor, what's happening?
According to the the analysis, there is bleeding.
It affects the nerves in the brain. If we don't get rid of it quickly, it can be dangerous.
Sis!
- Doctor, please can you find a way to heal her? - Mom's doctor said that the analysis is done.
- Don't worry, we will find a way. - He said he has something to discuss with us.
This is the current state of the patient.
You should discuss this with your family and make a decision quickly.
Okay,
Thank you, Doctor.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Doctor, thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Dad, what did the doctor say to you?
Decision? What decision?
