[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 13]
Mom!
Ruolin.
Why are there so many pretty clothes here?
Of course. Come here, let me introduce you to someone.
This is Roger.
Roger was in charge of my style in the past.
He mainly works at Hollywood now.
He flew here specifically for us.
So you're Roger Pan?
I heard that my company had always wanted to work with you,
but because of time, we weren't able to meet.
I should really thank your mother.
If it wasn't for Sister Xuan (to show respect in Chinese),
I wouldn't have sat in the plane for over 20 hours to deliver these clothes.
Sister Xuan, look at these clothes. Do you like them?
If it's not to your liking, I can fly back to Paris again.
Why are you asking me. I've already been retired for 20 years.
Ruolin has a better eye for this than me.
Ruolin, what do you think? Do you like it?
Of course I am relaxed with Roger being my stylist.
Right now, all I need is a microphone.
Hmm? Microphone?
Nowadays, every singer has his/her own microphone.
Besides having better sound quality at the performance, it also shows the singer's style.
Miss Xu, this is the final product of your design.
Are you satisfied?
Yes.
Okay. Please wait a little.
I don't think you can bring your daughter home.
Tianhao, you've already promised me before.
As long as I treat Ruolin as my own, you would do the same for my daughter.
Today, I went to see Meili.
I just realized that her adoptive family wasn't that well off.
You know as well that in these 20 years I've never taken the responsibility of a mother.
So I can't bear seeing my daughter suffer.
Tianhao, just do me this favor. Let her live here.
It's not me that doesn't want her to come,
but you need to respect her opinion.
Last time when Meili came here, she made it clear that
she didn't want this to disturb her current life.
You said that Meili is a very kind and respectful girl.
Why would she give up her adoptive parents and come live with us?
Tianhao. These are two different things.
Living with us doesn't mean she will cut off contact with her adoptive parents.
We can give them more money to help them go through the difficulties.
Tianhao, as long as you agree to this, I will persuade Meili.
Wang Xuan, have you noticed
that after you found Meili, you become very unreasonable.
Right now, all you want to do is make up to your daughter.
Is Ruolin not your daughter anymore?
Did you consider her feelings?
Can Ruolin accept having a new sister suddenly at home?
Can she live with one more person?
Also can the two sisters get along... etc.? You...
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
We are just having a small talk.
Just now I heard you say something about
getting along with a sister.
The house will have one more person.
Ruolin,
I have a few things to tell you.
Wang Xuan.
I don't want you to drag Ruolin into this.
What are you guys hiding from me?
Ruolin.
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
When I was marrying to your Dad,
I had a daughter myself.
Because of a combination of things, I lost her.
I found her recently though.
Today, I went to her place and found out that her situation wasn't too good.
So I hope that you can accept her as your younger sister,
and let her live here.
You had a daughter?
My Dad knew about this already?
You guys have hidden this from me all the time, why ask me now?
You guys can decide.
I have nothing to say.
Ruolin.
Are you happy now?
Does Ruolin know about this?
This is not that simple.
Jiang Meili is obviously avoiding.
Xu Ruolin's attitude towards Jiang Meili is very negative.
Teacher Wang paid the hospital fee for Jiang Meili.
Director!
Would I need to install a door bell so you will knock on the door?
Director. The Planning department wants to confirm if Xu Ruolin will be singing with Teacher Wang.
If it is the case, they need to draft the promotion plan.
Do you want them to prepare a backup plan?
In case, Jiang Meili decides to "revive" (change her mind).
It's ok, keep it this way.
I am not willing
to give up now, it'll be the end of the competition.
Competition? What competition?
Have you ever read the Slam Dunk comics before?
Never mind. It's like playing piano to a cow. (talking to a brick wall)
Pretend I never said anything.
I thought our relationship is very different.
Ruolin? It's me.
I want to have a good chat with you.
Can you let me in?
Come in. It's not locked.
Are you still angry?
You don't want to talk to me?
I thought after that time, we can be more honest to each other.
I didn't mean to hide this from you.
I wanted to tell you many times that you have a younger sister.
But I really didn't know how to.
That's why I thought that
I would tell you after I found her.
I had asked people to find her years after years.
There were several times, I thought I had found her.
But in the end, it was just false hope.
I had been tortured like this for all these years.
So,
the moment when I saw the photo,
I couldn't believe my own eyes.
I've never thought that
god would truly bless me and let me find my Rourou.
I'm sorry Ruolin,
I have to tell you that you have a younger sister this way.
I know this is very unfair to you,
but I have missed it for 20 years already.
I don't want to miss it anymore.
I only want to make up for what I've owed her in the past 20 years.
I know, I know I have hurt you.
I know I have make you suffered. I am sorry.
Mom, I'm fine. Don't think too much.
You are my daughter.
How can I not know that you are sad?
For the last 20 years, I have always treated you as my own daughter.
Even if I found Rourou, our relationship will never change.
Trust me.
I believe you.
Then, can you accept your sister?
Can you let her live here?
I will ask Auntie to clear the guest room tomorrow.
As long as sister doesn't think the guest room is too small.
Thank you Ruolin.
Do you know how important your response was to me?
I admit that suddenly getting a new sister,
is really hard to take in.
But I can see how much effort you have put in.
I should be more understanding about my younger sister.
Thank you.
You're such a good child.
Thank you Ruolin.
I can't believe I overlooked Wang Xuan's personality.
She is not someone who will give up so easily.
I... I have made it more complicated.
It's all my fault. I shouldn't have lied to her.
The nicer she is to me, the harder it is for me to bear.
Jiang Meili.
No matter how hard it is, you have to stand firm.
If Wang Xuan found out about the truth,
everyone will suffer.
Of course, she will be the one feeling the worst.
It's her.
Don't take it. Let me think.
What does she want when calling at this time?
Hello?
Meili, can you come to my house tomorrow?
Ruolin knows about this. She wants to meet with you.
You don't have to worry.
If you really don't want to meet her,
I can say no to her. I won't force you.
Tomorrow is fine. Let's eat together.
Really? That's great. I'll arrange it.
Jiang Meili, are you crazy?
You... what did I just tell you?
You mentioned to me before
that Xu Ruolin knows you. We couldn't even hide from this.
You... How can you show it yourself?
Call her right now and decline it.
Tell her you regret saying yes.
Mr. Sun, didn't you say
that teacher Wang won't give up easily.
Even if I reject this time, there's still next time.
Since we can't run away from this,
why not just face and solve it?
Ruolin, this matter...
Dad, relax.
I discussed with Mom last night. It's really okay.
On Mom's behalf, I will be nice to her.
What's her name?
Jiang Meili.
Jiang Meili?
Sorry Sun Ge, I need to ask you to come over once more.
Not at all. It's nothing.
Greetings, Mr. Xu.
Miss Xu is also here.
Here, Tian Hao.
Come.
Come here, let me introduce her.
It really is you!
I thought it is just the same name.
You know each other?
Not only knowing, we are also very familiar with each other.
Being a singer for so long, I thought nothing can surprise me any more.
I can't believe something can still shock me.
Mom, I think you're being tricked.
Jiang Meili is a fraud!
Ruolin, you're not allowed to talk like that.
Meili is your sister. Your Mother has already confirmed it.
Yes. We have already checked very thoroughly.
It might not be true even seeing it with your own eyes, especially things like this.
It is too easy to fake it.
Dad. It's ok for Mom cause she is longing for her daughter.
How could you be fooled by this liar when you are this smart?
Tian Hao.
What happened between you two?
You... Why do you have such a bad opinion of Meili?
We have some misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding? Do you want me to find someone to prove that you are lying?
Dad. Mom.
Jiang Meili and her sister conspired to defraud the Cheng Yi.
they thought they could become artists and live well.
Who knew that they were caught on the spot.
To pay back the penalty fee, she pretends to be poor and weak.
Even I lost $300,000 to her scam. (US$9100)
Jiang Meili. Don't tell me your claustrophobia is acting up again.
My house is big enough.
I am not Guan Yi so I won't believe you.
Meili, is it true about what Ruolin has said?
Miss Xu is correct.
I don't want to explain for myself.
See, she admitted it herself.
Meili, I trust you.
You must have a reason,
for others to misunderstand you like this.
You're not a bad child.
Otherwise, with your adoptive mother's condition, you could have asked me the first time you met me.
But you didn't say a word.
-Mother -Ruolin
Even if Meili has done something wrong,
could you just let it go for me?
I'll return the money she owes you.
You don't need to. I'll do it myself.
Jiang Meili, you're still acting at this time?
You are just pretending to be sorry so you can trick more later.
Ruolin!
Mom is begging you. Please don't say anything.
Forgive her. Okay?
Mom, could you please think clearly?
There's no such coincidence.
You are looking for your daughter and she happens to show up in front of you.
Do you know how low the probability is?
Ruolin, are you done?
Are you happy when you turn this house upside down?
Are you guys out of your mind?
You've rather believed a liar than me?
Today, I will let you all know the truth.
Let's go for DNA test so everyone will know that they are being tricked.
Jiang Meili, you're definitely not my Mom's daughter.
Miss Xu, we really did investigate.
Jiang Meili is...
Who are you? Why do we need to believe what you say?
Ruolin, Sun Ge is Mom's savior. Don't you talk to him like that.
Mom, you're too naive!
They are together in this!
They want your money because you are longing for your daughter.
Stop talking nonsense.
Let's go. Let's go to the police station.
I won't let you go this time.
Let go.
You hit me?
I'm sorry.
You hit me because of your illegitimate daughter.
Your Mom is right.
You were threatening them, Ruolin.
Where did all your good upbringing go?
My Mom and I have invested so much.
You're disappointing us.
Ruolin. Ruolin!
Let her go. She should calm down first.
Meili. We have let you suffer.
Meili
I'm sorry.
I have already told you,
as long as we know we are doing well, it is good enough. There is no need to let other people know about our relationship.
But you would not accept that.
You came to my house, then the hospital. You even made me meet your family.
See what happens now?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be like this.
I know.
But your actions are putting me in harm.
If being Wang Xuan's daughter will be questioned and humiliated by other like this,
Then I don't want to be one at all.
I just want to be Jiang Meili with my Dad and Mom.
Even if we are poor, we are happy.
- Meili... - From now on,
I won't bother you anymore and I hope you do the same.
Take care.
Meili
-Meili Wang Xuan don't worry, I'll go after her.
How did it turn out like this?
Why?
Meili
Why?
Why the daughter I've been looking for in the past 20 years,
doesn't want to be my daughter?
I have always worried that this would happen.
So I kept asking you to stay put.
But you won't listen to me.
See how things have turned out? Both kids are mad at you.
It is really worth it?
You should listen to Meili. There's no need for you to disturb her life.
She is your birth daughter and nothing will change that.
However, after so many years,
in her mind, there's no space for you to be her Mother.
It's just the fact.
No matter how hard you try, you can't change anything.
Learn to let go.
This way, you won't make it hard for her.
Jiang Meili
Meili!
Well. You girl.
If I didn't know that you were playing a trick,
I would have scared to death.
Good thing.
Wang Xuan didn't suspect you because of what Ruolin had said.
We have past a hurdle this time.
Mr. Sun, if it's possible, can we end here?
I don't want to lie anymore, especially towards teacher Wang.
I think it's too cruel.
Things have already gone so far. How can you stop whenever you like?
You clearly know that Wang Xuan has already treated you as her biological daughter.
If she finds out all these is a lie,
that is more cruel to her.
I know you are kindhearted and don't want deceive others.
But no one will benefit if it is revealed.
Let alone anything else,
Can you be certain that you can pay back the hospital fee to her?
What about all the upcoming fees?
This will destroy your family.
Jiang Meili. Don't let people suffer with you because of your conscience at the moment.
If we continue like this, we will be discovered.
You shouldn't worry too much.
I can assure you that after today, Wang Xuan will give up.
She won't contact you anymore.
You can leave then.
How is it?
CEO Xu, you can be at ease.
There's no problems with Jiang Meili.
You've told me before that Jiang Meili and Ruolin know each other.
I tried everything for them not to meet, but they still met.
I didn't expect that this actually turned out to be good.
It made our plan go smoothly.
You tell that lady.
Even it is hard, it will be only for a little while.
Once Wang Xuan gives up,
this show can come off.
Yes.
Brother Weifeng.
What's up, Meiyan?
What happened to make you so nervous?
Something big happened!
It's also a very serious matter.
My sister and my Dad told me not to tell anyone.
And not leak it out either.
I'm trying so hard to keep it in but I want to tell you so badly!
If it's that serious, maybe you shouldn't tell me.
Brother Wei Feng, your really...
You can swear not to tell anyone,
then I can tell you.
Hurry and pledge.
I swear, I won't tell anyone. Tell me now.
- You're certain you won't tell anyone? - I'm certain.
Okay, then I'll tell you.
My sis found her birth Mom.
Your sis? Biological mother?
What do you mean?
I also found out recently that my sis wasn't my Mom's biological daughter.
What?
Wow! Then, your sister must be in agony.
But it's not that bad.
Guess. Who do you think is her biological mother?
How would I know. I don't know.
That's why you need to guess if you don't know.
Hurry and guess!
I think...
I can't.
Just make an impossible guess.
-Hurry -Wang Xuan
Told you I don't know.
That is her, exactly!
Wang Xuan?
No wonder the neighbors said that they saw Wang Xuan in our neighborhood.
Why am I not the one being adopted?
I also want to have a superstar Mother.
Meiyan.
I'm joking.
My sis is actually Wang Xuan's daughter.
No wonder she sings so well, I can't sing better than her.
So my sister is Wang Xuan's daughter.
Do I have my chance again in the entertainment world?
You
You need to study hard. Don't give your sister more troubles.
Why do you guys always treat me like a kid?
I'm already 20 years old! I'm a full grown adult.
Besides, I have decided to work part-time while studying to help our family.
You aren't planning...
Don't worry. This time, I will make money properly.
And bring in some money for my family.
That's good.
Meili, you're back.
How is it? Did it go well?
Dad, I can't do this anymore.
Did you know the feeling that you have to tell 10 more lies to cover the original lie?
I feel so despicable for tricking such a nice person.
It's awful.
Meili, I know that feeling.
It's like after I spent everything that I made, I had to cover it up so your Mom wouldn't find out.
It is this kind of feeling.
Dad
You're just not used to it.
Lying and cheating isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Look, you saved your Mother.
In addition, you made Wang Xuan happy.
Isn' that great?
Talking about white lies, I am the expert.
Next time, before you go see Wang Xuan. I can give you some training before you go.
It's ok.
Uncle. Meili.
Wei Feng, you came.
How are you? Are you feeling well these days?
I just want my mother to wake up. Nothing else.
Aye, we've been classmates and neighbors for a long time.
You don't need to hold back yourself.
You can just tell me if you are not happy.
You can say whatever you want.
Uh... I mean you can tell me about Aunt's situation.
What did big mouth Jiang Meiyan tell you?
Did she tell you I found my real Mother?
No!
No. She didn't say a word.
So she told you her name too?
She spread the gossip even faster when I told her not to!
Jiang Meiyan makes me mad!
Meili. Meiyan is happy for you.
Finding your biological mother.
You should know, Meiyan really cares about you as her sister.
She knew that you weren't happy and she couldn't help you, so she came talking to me.
She was not careful so she let it slip.
So... that medicine meal that I cooked. You can eat it when you are hungry.
And you can drink those tea too that helps strengthen you.
No matter what you need to take care of your body so you can have the energy to take on other things.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Oh yea. Wang Xuan and I,
What I'm trying to say is... about me being her daughter.
I hope you won't tell anyone.
I don't want others to know.
Don't worry. I am close-mouthed.
But you have to believe, any complicated situation will have its end one day.
Remember, you can always tell me if you have anything you're unhappy about.
And even if I can't help you.
It's still one more person to share your struggles and make you feel better.
I'm sorry. Let me borrow your shoulder for me to rest on.
Take me for an example. You're willing to care for me and encourage me.
And you're able to lend me a shoulder when I am feeling down.
This is far more important than having a tall, rich and handsome friend.
♫ The second hand never stops, so how is the hour hand to keep up? ♫
♫ If loving is wrong, then I can't be right ♫
♫ People of this city, are you happy or sad? ♫
♫ Suddenly, all of this, everything... ♫
When the left eye twitches, something good is happening (Chinese belief).
When the right eye twitches, something bad is happening.
Jiang Meiyan, you are just having a job interview.
Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. You can do it! (pronounced: jia you)
You name is Jiang Meiyan?
Yes, I am.
Do you have any previous working experience?
No.
But I will definitely work hard!
Not bad.
You are enthusiastic.
Our company needs young ones like you.
Okay. You're hired.
Really?
May I ask if my monthly salary is more than $6000?
$6000? It's more than that.
As long as you buy the company's products, and meet all of the sales targets.
One pack is selling at $8000, 5-packs is at $40,000.
If I have $40,000 on me, why would I go work at a job that only pays $6000?
It's ok, I'll do something lower.
Let's start from (a job that pays) $2000.
Miss, two ice-cream cups please.
Coming.
Why are you so clumsy?
S-sorry.
I can't even handle ice cream properly. What job could I possibly do?
I can't possibly really have to clean and become a janitor, right?
God, I already made an effort to become better,
please give me a job that is suitable for me.
I beg of you God.
All powerful internet,
please give me a dream job.
It would be the best job if high paid, small workload, and close to home.
Yes! This is my dream job!
Thank you God!
Come in.
Director, the planning committee has listed some ideas to share with us.
Would you like to use your break right now and review it? I already sent it to your email.
Okay.
Jiang Meili.
Xu Ruolin.
You should have just sung it out. You peeked at your boss' stuff,
and read them out loud. Do you want to die?
Director, are you still unsure about your decision?
I've already arranged everything for Xu Ruolin being the accompany singer. Am I unsure?
I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about something else.
What do you mean?
I know it right after seeing that picture.
You are actually thinking whether to make up with Xu Ruolin, or to date Jiang Meili, right?
I am not. How would I possibly think about that?
See it for yourself.
Did you see Wang Xuan here?
There is Wang Xuan's name In this picture.
So how is it possible with all the crazy things you just said?
Can you please just use your brain?
I'm using it. That's why I am making this bold assumption.
Or else, you can tell me. Other than singing and love relationships,
what else can put Xu Ruolin and Jiang Meili together?
Director, we've been working together for three years now.
-To a certain level, we are... -Hey.
What I mean is that you don't have to hide these things from me.
But there are something I don't understand.
Why would Jiang Meili and Xu Ruolin end up on the same menu?
One is like the traditional multi-course Japanese dinner, and the other is the popular ramen.
How you can put these two unrelated dishes,
together on the same table?
I can only say they are the apples in your eyes.
Director, we can't understand your special taste.
Hey, how can Jiang Meili be the popular ramen?
So this means, you really like Jiang Meili!
Do I?
I-I didn't say anything. Which word made you think that way?
Do you still remember? Last time the planning dept. wanted me to get your agreement on whether Teacher Wang's duet partner is Xu Ruolin,
what did you say?
I am not willing,
to give up now, it'll be the end of the competition.
What does this have to do with anything?
Isn't this what Sakuragi Hanamichi said in Slam Dunk? (a manga series)
I know, I know. I went back and read it.
After reading it I realized that, on the surface it seemed like the main character insisted on winning the competition,
but in the end he didn't want to lose Haruko to Rukawa Kaede. (characters in that movie)
So, because Director insisted on having Jiang Meili to sing,
that means you like her.
What kind of logic is that? That's just nonsense!
Fine. I will say it in layman's terms.
Before you hit Zhang Quan because of her, and also took over the responsibility of the penalty fee for her.
Last time, when she past out in the studio, you hugged her like a princess.
That was because
I am training her so I have the responsibility to protect her.
I already told you many times.
When did you start acting like a woman?
Director. You are the one acting like a woman.
You don't need to be ashamed of liking a girl.
Why are you denying so much then?
If you like her, just go! Loudly declare that you like her!
Whether you succeed or not, it's just one time.
Don't be like a pan-fried fish,
Don't let that emotion "pan-fry" you to death.
Hello?
Okay, I'll be right there.
The first time I saw you,
you protected her without knowing what happened.
And you wanted me to treat her well in the future?
Stop dreaming!
There's no more wine.
Waiter!
Waiter, waiter, waiter!
Miss Xu. What can I help you with?
I want wine. There's no more wine.
Okay, please wait.
I want wine. I want wine.
Director Guan, Miss Xu drank a little bit too much today.
I want wine.
Waiter, where's the wine? Where's the wine?
Have you fooled around enough? Let me send you home.
Guan Yi.
I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore.
I never thought you would still care for me.
The Bartender said he would make the call for me.
I asked him to hit the speed dial #1.
And you actually came.
Are you honored?
You are number one in my heart.
My Dad is only number two.
Gather up your stuff. Let's go!
Why are you in such a hurry?
Didn't you just arrive?
Sit down and have a drink with me.
I have a lot of interesting stories to share with you.
Should I give you a mirror so you can see what you look like right now?
Have you forgotten who you are?
Let's go!
I won't go! Let go of my hand!
You are Xu Ruolin's assistant.
Your Queen has became a drunk.
If you don't want her to get photographed, come get her right away.
If you want to destroy yourself,
fine, I can't wait to see the cover story of the entertainment news tomorrow.
It's ok to be on the cover story.
It's better than having nothing right now.
If it is not because of my Mom, people would have already forgotten about me.
Did you know?
There were 3 websites taking polls on the top 10 idol singers.
I can't even make it to the top 10 on all three of them.
Those wicked web comments,
all laughed at me and said that I have no talent.
Said that I am just the kid of celebrities.
What you are doing now proves that they are right.
If you want to show them that you have talent, pull yourself together.
And do a good job on singing the song you have fought for.
No one will pity you if you give up yourself.
You are still the same.
When I long for comfort,
you stimulate me.
When I need simulation,
you just hit me with your fist.
Which girl can stand it?
I want to go to a place right now.
If you are willing, you can come along.
If you are not willing,
then don't bother me.
I haven't come back here for a long time.
My ad! My ad!
Didn't you said you were not sure?
The client thinks that you are famous. You have become the Pop Queen for everyone.
Do you need me to say it more clearly?
You are famous. You are now a well known singer.
It's great! I am famous!
Xu Ruolin is famous!
I thought I will come back when I am famous again.

♫ It's a pity that we only made it this far ♫
♫ And it's too late to say goodbye ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ But If you and she are happy, ♫
♫ just forget how much I once loved you ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ It's a pity that we only made it this far ♫
♫ And it's too late to say goodbye ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ But If you and she are happy, ♫
♫ just forget how much I once loved you ♫
