[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 11]
- Thank you, Doctor. Thank you. - You're welcome.
Doctor, please think of a way.
Dad, Dad. What did the doctor say?
What decision has to be made?
The doctor said that in your mom's brain,
they found a big blood clot.
She must undergo surgery immediately to get rid of it.
It's like a ticking time bomb. If they aren't able to get it out,
then it can explode in any minute!
Surgery? What surgery?
That doctor said it was called...
Minimally-invasive craniotomy, which is where the skull doesn't need to be opened.
The scar would be about 5 cm and the recovery process would be shorter than usual.
Jie, what should we do?
We've already borrowed all the money we could
for the penalty fee. And now, we have to pay so much for the hospital fee!
Where are we going to get money this time?
Jingshu, I am so sorry to you.
From the day you married me until now, I haven't let you live one good day.
And now you have a calamity, yet I can do nothing to help you. Jingshu.
I, Jiang Weiguo, should just die.
- I should just die. - Dad! Dad! What are you doing?
That's enough, Dad!
We can think of a plan.
Stop hitting yourself now, okay?
Meili,
don't call me Dad anymore. I am not worthy to be your Dad.
You don't have to forgive me either.
We are a family! What's there to forgive?
Right now, the most critical thing is to think of way to come up with Mom's hospital fee!
That's right, Dad!
Yes, what you said is right.
I have a way.
What way?
I have two kidneys. I'll go sell one kidney.
Dad! You have kidney stones!
Then I'll sell my liver. I'll sell my eyes, or my heart!
Stop saying meaningless things right now!
In short, all I want is to save your mother.
It doesn't matter what outcome it might be,
but as long as I have put forth my greatest effort for her, that would be enough.
That's enough Dad.
Hello?
Miss Xu.
Sorry to ask you to come all the way to the hospital.
Never mind.
I heard you passed out at the recording studio today.
Are you alright?
I feel much better now.
You came to see me because of this?
Sorry, I have brought you guys troubles.
You did indeed cause me some trouble.
In the entertainment news a few days ago,
you must have heard that my mom and I will be singing together.
"Can't Bear to Leave You" is the song we are going to sing.
At the start, you told me you definitely don't want to be a singer
and you wouldn't sign the contract with Guan Yi. That is why my Mom and I agreed to sing this song.
But in the end, you went to sing the song. That makes me look very bad.
I am sorry. I didn't know and I didn't think that much either.
It is because my family needed the money, so I agreed to Director Guan's request.
Didn't you take the $300,000?
What? It still can't solve your family's problems?
It is my mom, she...
Don't worry! I am not here to ask for the money back.
I only want to tell you that
with my personality, I won't compete for songs with others.
Besides, you are a newbie who hasn't even debuted.
I finally convinced my mom to make a comeback,
and the news was already announced on a TV program.
Now we have to change the song because of you?
Do you know how much trouble this is going to bring us?
I hope that you can understand my difficulty.
But... I already promised Director Guan.
Then refuse him.
Tell him your condition won't allow you to go into the recording studio.
If he forces you to sing,
you can say that you are not well.
As long as you are insistent, he will give up.
Okay, I understand.
I will find a chance to talk to him.
I hope you can keep your word this time.
Miss Xu.
In truth, I also think that
that song is more suitable for you and Teacher Wang to sing together.
After all, you two are mother and daughter.
There is no reason for me to sing.
There's probably no one who would want to listen to it either.
How should I tell Guan Yi?
What should I do about Mom's hospital fee?
There is no one home and she is not answering her phone.
Excuse me! Anyone home?
Are you here to see the Jiang family?
Excuse me, you are...?
I am also here to see them. I've been waiting for quite a while but no one has returned.
I guess I should come back another day.
Jiang Meili.
After a thorough search and consideration, this girl
is the most suitable person to act as Rourou.
- Reason being? - She really needs money.
As long as we can offer a good price, I am sure she will follow our arrangement.
Better not raise another white-eyed wolf like Sun Jinsheng.
In the end, she might use this to threaten us.
Don't worry Chairman. In my research, this girl is very kind and honest.
Most likely, she won't do that.
Ask Sun Jinsheng to get in contact with her then.
Sure.
Jiang Meili.
Mister.
You said you have something very important to talk to me about.
What is it?
Hello, Miss Jiang.
I will introduce myself first. My name is Sun Jinsheng.
We have never met before.
But I have a favor to ask of you.
If you accept,
then all this money will be yours.
Why are you giving me so much money?
Perhaps... you want to sign me for a record label?
Sorry, I can't enter a recording studio.
You are mistaken.
I am not looking for you to sing.
We hope you can...
Help us put on a show.
Put on a show?
Then I can't, all the more.
Since I was little, I have only acted as things like trees, brooms, and apples.
The acting we're talking about isn't the kind you go on a stage for.
- It is acting in reality. - What?
There is a mother.
She wants to find the daughter who had been adopted by someone long ago.
But there hasn't been any result (of finding the daughter).
I've known this mother for several years.
So I want you to pretend to be her daughter,
so she can have her wish come true,
so she won't continue to have regrets.
So you mean, you want to trick someone?
You're not tricking someone, you're doing a good deed.
Miss Jiang,
if you have seen the mother crying every day,
and her sad face,
you would definitely agree to this request.
Of course, this (money) is just the deposit.
Once the deed is complete,
you will receive another sum.
I don't understand. Why would you ask me?
Because I have looked into it.
You were also adopted when you were 5 years old.
Your situation is exactly the same
as my friend's daughter.
No, I can't agree to it.
This is too ridiculous.
It sounds like a scam.
Who knows what you are planning.
Miss Jiang, I understand that you'd be taken aback.
But please think carefully, if I am scamming you,
would I spend so much money and find a stranger
who I would worry might expose me?
Would I do that?
Miss Jiang, please believe me.
I really want to comfort a mother who has too much sadness.
Because...
She will never see her daughter again.
Why?
She died 20 years ago.
I can't bear to tell her.
Please put yourself in my shoes, Miss Jiang.
I really hope that you can help me with this.
A white lie
might be able to save the second half of a mother's life.
I am really sorry.
I don't think I can help you.
You should find someone else.
Wait!
This is my business card.
I hope you can take your time and think about it.
No, I don't think I will call you.
Miss Jiang.
Hello, Dad. What's wrong?
Meili! Your Mom's situation has gotten worse.
The doctors are trying to save her.
Meili!
The doctor said we need to have the surgery soon,
to remove the blood clot.
Otherwise...
She won't live past today.
Meili! What should we do?
I can't just watch as your Mom...
Dad, listen to me.
Don't worry. Let the doctor schedule the surgery first.
Don't worry. The surgery fee...
I have found a way to pay for the surgery.
Miss Jiang.
Did you change your mind?
Mr. Sun, I want you to promise me that the things you are asking me to do
are not unlawful or wicked.
I will report it to the police otherwise.
I can promise that.
If I, Sun Jinsheng ask Jiang Meili to do bad things,
I will die a terrible death.
Chairman, Sun Jinsheng called and said the girl agreed.
Okay, I got it.
You still get phone calls this late?
Is it important?
Don't worry. It's all taken care of.
I am at the hospital. What is the room number?
If I told you that I want to eat noodles,
shouldn't you also give me a pair of chopsticks?
So if I ask you which hospital it is, shouldn't you also find out which room it is?
Is this something I need to tell you?
Miss?
The is the receipt for your surgery fee.
- Thanks. - You are welcome.
Never mind.
Jiang Meili.
Director Guan, why are you...?
I... I asked Yiqiang to ask Shasha...
And then Shasha went asking someone at your company.
Then I found out your mom is at the hospital.
So the reason you need money in a hurry is because of this.
Why didn't you tell me?
You've already helped me a lot. I don't want to bother you any more.
Your mom...
got sick because of the penalty fee?
You don't have to worry. I'll take care of it myself.
♫ The second hand never stops, so how is the hour hand to keep up? ♫
Meili!
♫ If loving is wrong, ♫
♫ then I can't be right ♫
♫ People of this city, ♫
♫ are you happy or sad? ♫
♫ Suddenly, all of this ♫
♫ Everything... ♫
Mom! Don't worry, Mom.
Mom! Don't worry, Mom. Mom!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Why am I here?
What kind of smell is that?
You're awake.
What is that smell?
That damn pot.
The doctor insisted that you can only have soy milk or porridge, food that's easily digested
and easy on the stomach.
But I hadn't thought that, as I was cooking,
I'd fall asleep myself.
But how did I end up at your house?
I was going to just leave you at the hospital,
but after the doctor gave you an IV drip, you didn't wake up.
You had no other family at the hospital,
so the nurse insisted that I stay there.
Of course I couldn't do that,
so I had to bring you back.
Sorry, I have brought you trouble.
Did you know, from the recording studio to the hospital,
you have fainted twice in a row.
After the doctor's examination, he said your stomach was empty,
your blood sugar was low and you were lacking nutrients.
How many days has it been since you've eaten?
I... I'm not too sure. Why don't you just let me make it myself?
It's gone, that's the last bit of rice.
Then, instant noodle is fine, too.
No, the doctor said
you can only eat nutritious food.
Director Guan, I still have to live to be able to do that.
If I die of hunger, it won't matter how nutritious the food is.
Or do you think eating that is better than instant noodles?
Fine. You go sit over there, and I will make it.
Go. Don't be in the way.
Instant noodles.
Good thing I always keep Rourou's photo with me.
Regarding Jiang Meili's parents,
I already asked someone to find their pictures when they were younger.
- Will there be a problem? - There won't be a problem.
After combining the initial photos, I will ask a professional to do the finishing touches.
There won't be any flaws.
With this photo,
there's no way that Wang Xuan won't believe it.
Thanks!
Why didn't you answer the questions
I asked you last night?
Did your mom get sick because of the penalty fee?
You don't need to answer.
I can guess by looking at your facial expression.
Don't worry.
I already took care of the penalty fee.
- As for the hospital fee... - Director Guan.
I really appreciate your kindness,
but I don't want to owe anyone.
Whether it's money or favors, I can't repay any of them.
No one asked you to pay it back.
After all, I'm partly responsible for what happened.
Besides, I really want you to be able to sing.
Of course, I need to help you solve all the annoying problems.
That's why my mom and I agreed to sing this song.
In the end, you went to go sing it?
What you did really makes it hard for me.
I am sorry, I can't sing.
Why?
No matter what, I just can't.
You can just take me as a lowlife who goes back on her words.
If this is because of
your claustrophobia,
don't worry, we'll figure it out together.
Don't give up easily. Trust me, you are very talented.
As long as you are taught carefully,
you will shine in the music business.
I am very confident that
one day your achievement will surpass Teacher Wang.
I really don't understand.
I'm not the only person in the world who can sing.
Why do you keep insisting it has to be me?
Because I want you!
Want you to sing.
I am done. I should go back to the hospital.
Jiang Meili.
Forget, just stop.
You're only making it worse. I'll go get some clothes for you.
No need.
Do you know how to say anything aside from refusing others?
Thanks.
Who is it?
Good morning!
Did we have an appointment?
Nope, but I knew you would be home at this time.
I bought your favorite food.
Let's eat together and we can also discuss about the song.
Xu Ruolin,
business should be discussed at the office.
This is my personal time.
We are not in that kind of relationship where you can just come as you please.
You should've called at least.
A music director that has found a singer who works as hard as me,
who specially came all the way to his house to discuss the album,
should be happy.
If you do mind, I will call next time.
Let it go this time.
-Xu Ruolin! - I know you're still angry about yesterday.
So, I came personally to apologize.
I admit that I scolded you because I was jealous.
However, I came to realize that you couldn't possibly like her.
Xu Ruolin, I have a guest right now.
Director Guan... Your...
Miss Xu.
I guess I should take back what I just said.
You said business should be discussed at the office.
Why is she here?
Did I overestimate you or did I underestimate her?
I even went out of my way to get your favorite sandwich.
I can't believe your taste has become intolerably cheap!
Miss Xu, you've misunderstood.
Misunderstood?
You came out early in the morning wearing Guan Yi's clothes.
It is so obvious that there's an ambiguous relationship here.
You want me to believe that this is a misunderstanding?
Wouldn't I be too stupid then?
Meili, leave her to be. I'll send you home.
Guan Yi!
Even though we are not in a romantic relationship
but to be fair to the people doing audition,
don't you think you should at least explain this?
You will only believe what you see.
What's the point of an explanation? Let's go.
Jiang Meili, looks like I was wrong about you.
I thought you were greedy but you knew where you should stop.
But I didn't know that you're are so cunning.
What? You can't get into the recording studio so you go into the bedroom directly?
It is strange though. Guan Yi's room doesn't have a hole.
When you were flinging yourself into his arms in there,
wouldn't your claustrophobia act up?
Perhaps you left the window open whole night to let the cold wind blow in?
Xu Ruolin, don't say such unpleasant words.
She did those dirty things first, so she shouldn't worry about other people talking about it.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to be involved in your dispute.
I'm going first. I'll return your clothes after cleaning it.
Jiang Meili.
Let's just say I'm asking for this favor.
Please leave me some dignity.
Don't you dare say that I'm threatening you. You should know better.
If my Mom were to find out about this,
she would never agree to sing with her.
She might even refuse to sing altogether.
As for the song, it's settled.
It will be me, Xu Ruolin and Wang Xuan singing together.
It won't change ever.
Even if you are very mad,
you won't forget to protect your own benefit.
Xu Ruolin, should I say that you've changed,
or I never saw clearly in the first place
that you were always this way?
You'd better get this straight.
You're the one who's changed,
not me!
It's okay, Jiang Meili.
It's okay.
It's not real.
It's fine. It's okay.
When I return the money,
I won't need to swallow my pride.
I, Xu Ruolin lost to a delivery girl.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
How is it, Sun Ge?
Sun Ge finally can face you.
After a lot of persuading,
Ruoruo's foster family agreed
to let you both meet.
Really? You're not lying right?
Would I make things up about this?
At this point, I can't lie to you any more.
In truth, you and Rourou have been living in the same city.
What? She is living in the same city with me?
Then... Didn't you tell me that after they left,
they were getting ready to immigrate?
So... Did they end up not going?
I have asked.
They did try to immigrate,
but the visa never got approved.
So they gave up in the end.
But to be honest, they never told me
about moving here.
But it is within good reasons.
I think they worried that we would go back on our words and ask for the child back.
I kept thinking Rourou left the country a long time ago.
If I knew she was still in the country,
I would have asked Tianhao to use his influence to find her.
Well, I haven't seen her for so many years,
so my memory is a bit vague.
I asked them to give me a photo of Rourou when she was little.
Look at it. Is it her?
Yes. Yes.
This is my Rourou.
I finally found my kid.
Rourou.
Rourou also loves Mom very much.
Rourou.
Sun Ge, since Rourou is also in the same city,
please take me to her right now. I like to see her.
Don't be in such a rush.
How can I not be rushed? I've been looking for her for 20 years.
I understand.
You have to give the child some time to prepare.
You need to give her some time to accept the truth about
her mom being Wang Xuan.
I already made an appointment with her.
Tomorrow afternoon,
I will let you guys meet. It will be at your house.
Really?
Okay. Okay. I will wait.
I already waited for 20 years. I don't mind one more day.
That's great!
Wang Xuan, mother and daughter are finally going to be reunited.
But I have to remind you.
Rourou might be different
from what you have imagined.
You haven't seen her for so many years.
She doesn't remember you, her biological mother.
I... I've prepared myself.
After all, she was still very little when she left me.
It's very normal for her not to remember me, but I thought...
We are real mother and daughter. When she sees me,
she must have some kind of feeling.
She would remember it.
Rourou.
Isn't this Wang Xuan?
Lower your voice. Don't let anyone hear you.
This is a huge secret.
So the mother who lost her daughter
is Wang Xuan?
This... for you.
She was so sad then.
She probably didn't find her daughter.
Mr. Sun, why did her daughter die?
Rourou had a congenital heart disease since she was little.
In truth, Wang Xuan tried her best to save her.
But who knew.
She had just gotten adopted and her heart acted up.
This time, she never woke up.
So you see. Such a cruel truth,
how can you ask me to tell Wang Xuan?
To cover this up,
I have hidden from her for the past 20 years.
She's such a nice person.
Why would this happen to her?
Poor Wang Xuan.
So, please cooperate with us and play the part.
You should try your best to pretend to be her daughter,
and make her wish come true.
That's right.
I have written down all the questions she might ask
and how to answer, here as a script.
You should take a look after you go home.
It will be fine as long as you answer according to this.
Tianhao, look.
I have to say, she looks just like the girl in your locket.
Wang Xuan, congratulations!
Your wish finally came true.
Tianhao, Sun Ge will bring Rourou over tomorrow.
Will you be at home?
Of course.
This is such an important event, I have to be by your side.
To add on, this is the promise I made to you years ago.
Oh yeah,
should we tell Ruolin about this?
So she can be prepared for it.
There's no rush for this.
We should first meet Rourou.
What do you think?
But keeping this as a secret,
I think it would be disrespectful to her.
And you know how Ruolin is. She's sensitive.
It's exactly because she's sensitive
that we need to keep it from her.
And you know that she has a lot on her hands recently.
Since we haven't confirmed any of this yet,
we should just keep it to ourselves.
Come in.
Dad, Mom.
It's already so late, why aren't you asleep?
I have something to ask Mom.
What is it?
That song, would you sing it with me no matter what?
What happened?
Why would you ask me this all of a sudden?
Nothing, I just want to make myself more assured.
Mom, are you sure?
Don't worry, nothing will change.
That song, is our mother-daughter duet.
Then, you guys rest first.
I'll go back to my room.
See? With her like this,
would you add more pressure?
Rest first.
Put all your energy into meeting Rourou tomorrow,
okay?
Okay.
Mom said,
that song is mine.
Even if I lose him,
I will have the song.
You can now open your eyes.
That's great!
Ruolin, you're famous!
I said, let's get married.
Today.
From today on,
No matter what, I will be there for you.
Why did I admit defeat?
No matter if it's the song or Guan Yi.
They should belong to me.
I'm great, really great, no need to worry.
If Wang Xuan asks...
If I say this, wouldn't it be a little harsh?
If Wang Xuan hears this, she would be hurt.
But I can't not say it.
- Hello? - I am Xu Ruolin.
Miss Xu, is there anything?
No need to worry, I did not call you to yell at you.
And above that, not to ask for money.
I just have something to make clear.
First, I admit
the stuff I said at Guan Yi's home was a little to harsh.
If it made you feel bad, I apologize.
No need.
If Miss Xu does not have anything else to say...
If I only wanted to apologize, do you think I would call you?
To be honest,
I called to tell you not to get it wrong.
Don't think that because I said
Guan Yi's tastes have gone bad,
that you should start hoping for anything.
Don't think that Guan Yi will actually fall for you.
Miss Xu, I've said it many times.
Guan Yi and I have nothing going on.
Of course you two can't have anything.
I know Guan Yi has potential and charm.
When girls see him, it's impossible to not fall for him.
Especially when he's extra caring towards you.
And you would have some expectations towards him.
That's unavoidable.
But Jiang Meili,
I am warning you with kind intentions.
Guan Yi is nice to you,
not because of you,
but because of your voice.
This is what he told me. If you don't believe me, go ask him.
A normal girl like you,
Guan Yi will never like you.
Don't worry, I never liked him.
Or even wished for anything.
That's good then.
I wish in the future you keep your word.
Don't do things that would make people mistaken you.
Miss Xu, I will keep your advice to heart.
But I have something to tell you.
Guan Yi not getting back with you, is his choice.
Don't let out your anger on someone else.
Jiang Meili!
Does she think everyone is like her,
liking Guan Yi and thinking he is a treasure?
Even thinking of him as attractive is already annoying.
Sister, I'm scared.
Jingshu will get better.
Mom.
Family members, please stay behind.
Doctor.
- Mom. - Jingshu, Jingshu!
Jingshu, don't leave us behind.
Sister, I'm scared.
It's okay, nothing will happen to Mom.
Mom will wake up.
Mom knows we are waiting for her.
We need to wait a long time, go sit down.
Hello?
Okay.
Tianhao, I'm so nervous.
I've never been this nervous.
Tianhao, will my daughter
be mad that I abandoned her back then?
Will she not be willing to acknowledge me?
No. If she doesn't want to acknowledge you,
she wouldn't come here with Jinsheng.
You are right.
I'll go to my study to sort something out. Seeing you like this, all out of yourself,
is making me all anxious too.
Then hurry back.
Didn't they head out in the morning? How are they not here yet?
Hello, Dad? What's up?
When are you coming home?
I'm almost done recording, so not that late.
Today we have a guest.
All of them are you uncles you know.
They all said they want to meet you.
Can you come back a little earlier for dinner?
No thank you, Dad. You know I don't like those situations.
And I have to practice.
I will be home late, have a great time.
Okay, don't be too tired.
Okay, bye.
Later, no matter what Wang Xuan asks you,
just say at that time you were too young, you've forgotten everything.
Only let her be satisfied with meeting her daughter.
As for everything else, just follow what I say.
After the meeting you will get the money, understand?
I understand.
Be clever.
Wang Xuan, today Sun Ge
has brought your daughter to see you.
Rourou, Rourou, Rourou.
Sorry, Rourou.
It's all mom's fault, sorry.
Did you know Mom searched for you for so long?
I've finally found you.
Mom has waited day and night.
