[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 26]
Doctor, can my mom be discharged yet?
From the condition reports,
your mom is stable.
There's no problem. Just remember to recuperate on time,
and come back for check ups.
-Thank you. -No problem
Ok, I got it.
Be careful.
Meiyan, here. Hold this.
Here.
Ok.
Be careful.
It's nice to be back.
Who knew mom went away for so long.
This is the place we'll be forever.
We're finally back.
-Let's go inside. -Mom.
Don't support me, I want to walk by myself.
You can't, you're still weak,
-how can you walk? Meiyan.
Mom, be careful.
Go slowly.
Despite everything,
we're finally reunited.
Have a safe trip.
Lawyer Zhang, please pass this along.
Troubling you with everything.
Director Guan, you really are our Cheng Yi's
wise guiding star, Emperor Guan.
These people are best in causing internal conflict.
Talking to them isn't good for the body.
What's wrong?
There's another bunch of lawyer here for Ruolin.
I got it.
Meiyan, don't throw that away, there's still detergent in it.
Put it in the bathroom.
Ok, got it.
Old Jiang,
organize the things we brought from the hospital.
Throw away what we don't need. Don't cluster the house.
Got it, don't worry.
Mom, your legs must be sore.
Your legs must be tired from that walk.
Here, let me massage it.
Be careful.
Earlier, when we were making payment, I saw you running up and down the stairs.
Must be tiring.
This child, you always think of others.
Who's others? You're my mom.
Dad, dad.
Jie is still the best, able to turn Empress Dowager Cixi back into our loving mom.
You shouldn't be talking.
You're her biological daughter,
why can't you do that?
You don't understand me.
Ok, ok. Forget it.
Help me throw out the trash.
Just treat it as honoring your father.
Why is it me again?
I'm hurt.
Ok.
Mom, I'm throwing out the trash.
Come back soon.
Seriously, I always have to throw out the trash.
Mom, the next time you want to practice walking,
you should go to the nearby park.
There's a health track there for those who are in rehabilitation.
Okay, I'll do as you say.
But you need to comply one thing,
you have to come with me.
Go breathe in some fresh air.
Mom, why're you?
Excuse me.
Meili, there's a guest.
Why're you standing there. Get some water.
I'll do it.
Miss Wang, why are you here?
Please, have a seat inside.
Sit, sit, sit.
Here, Miss Wang, water.
We brought this on the way back from the hospital.
We were afraid there was no water at home so we bought it.
We didn't know you were coming.
See? We just came back from the hospital so the house is a mess.
Please don't mind.
It's fine.
Meili called me saying you were discharged from the hospital.
So I've been wanting to come over and see you.
Sorry to bother you.
It's not a bother.
You are a important guest in our home.
Our benefactor. You can come anytime. Even if its in the middle of the day...
Drink some water.
Miss Wang, Meili was under your care for some time,
thank you for that.
Please don't say that.
Actually, all this time,
I really want a chance to meet you
and personally say 'Thank you'.
Thank you for raising Meili to be so wonderful.
Thank you for treasuring Meili like your own daughter.
I'm really, very thankful.
Teacher Wang, you're too modest. Although Meili isn't my biological daughter,
but in these 20 years,
we see each other day and night and live under the same roof.
That bond is enough to prove that we are a family.
It's not up to someone else to say 'Thank you'.
If you really must say, then I will say,
I need to thank you for giving up.
So that the angels can help me and have her be my child.
Mom!
Which one are you calling?
You.
Ow my foot hurts!
I'm back.
Au-Aunty Wang.
My foot suddenly hurts. Help me change my medicine.
I'll go change my medicine.
Didn't you just change it?
I'm an aristocratic person, I need to change my medicine.
Hurry.
Okay, now that everyone who's not involved has left the house.
Miss Wang, I think we should discuss Meili.
I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood. I'm not here to take Meili.
Teacher Wang, the way you speak is making me all confused.
Yes, I do not have any civilization and I haven't ventured out into the society.
But I'm very clear about one thing.
From the moment I adopted Meili,
I told myself I would not allow myself to regret it.
I am her mother.
I have to do what a mother is responsible for.
Even in the future,
when her biological parents come asking (for her),
they have to go through me.
Staff told me that,
if anyone has any doubts in the future,
I will let them see the booklet.
The writing is in black and white.
Whose child Jiang Meili is.
Mom!
She's helped a lot recently.
You should't treat her like that.
The adults are talking, why are you interrupting?
Go back to your room.
I-I'm sorry. I should be going.
You just recovered, you should rest.
I'll come back another time.
Miss Wang, please wait.
I'm not done, so don't go.
Don't worry, I'm not an irrational person.
I know I used a lot of money for my illness this time,
and you paid for all of it.
Even if I don't want to admit this help,
I have to.
Your words are too much.
This compared to your gratefully upbringing Meili,
I don't think this is a matter that should be needed to be brought up.
Sure. You just said it.
You admit that I have gratefully brought up Meili, right?
Then good. Standing in the perspective of a mother.
Do I have the right to ask you a question?
What right does your daughter have to slap my child?
I'm sorry. I apologize for this.
I admit that I did not teach my child well.
I let Meili go through great suffering.
But in my heart,
I'm hurting more than anyone else.
As a parent, the most worrisome thing is brothers fighting amongst themselves,
and sisters becoming enemies.
You have two daughters. I'm sure you can understand.
I'm very sorry for making you worry about this.
I really am feeling very apologetic.
Please take good rest. Next time another day I'll come back to make a visit.
Sure, then I won't be seeing you off.
She left?
Dad, take care of mom. I'll be back.
Mom!
Meili, why did you come out?
I'm sorry about that.
She hasn't been up for long, and she hasn't fully recovered. She's sensitive.
No worries. I was prepared before hand.
I'm just worried for you.
I know it's difficult to be stuck between two people.
I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
I'm actually really sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I'm perfectly happy to do everything I do for you.
For the time being, stay here and take good care of your adoptive mother.
When you're free, give me a call.
Remember that I will miss you, okay?
Then go back, there's no need to send me off.
Go back.
Slowly, slowly.
I'll cover you with the blanket.
Do you think the way I treated Wang Xuan was really evil?
Of course I'm also angry that our daughter was slapped.
But those words you said were quite hurtful.
In any case, Wang Xuan is your benefactor.
How was I wrong?
I was just protecting my family.
Otherwise, you want Wang Xuan to take Meili to her house and live with her instead?
That's not saving my life, that's taking my life.
Let me tell you. Just forget it if Meili is living at home.
If Wang Xuan brings up this matter again, and wants Meili to go and live with her in her house,
Don't blame me for becoming hostile and not recognizing people. At most I will see you at court.
Jie,
Don't worry.
Since it was Xu Ruolin that started it.
You can't be blamed for not going back to the Xu household.
There are many reasons.
But my heart can't go back right now.
That's true.
Before when Mom fainted, she didn't realize how good Wang Xuan was to us.
But our three hearts know what's going on.
It's like we are abandoning our benefactor upon achieving our goal, (lit. destroying the bridge after crossing the river)
after using someone then kicking them away.
How about this, Jie.
You live here for one week, then live over there for one week.
Or you can live here on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and stay over there on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Or else, if all is not possible, you can stay here in the mornings and over there in the afternoons.
Jiang Meiyan.
That's enough. Hurry and wash up to go to bed.
Come out for a bit.
You already saw?
Okay, Guan Yi is looking for me.
Okay.
Remember that when you leave, close the door quietly or else Mom will hear.
I know.
Bye bye.
Guan Yi.
What is it?
Come, you should sit down first.
Today, I have been surrounded by a bunch of cows, devils, snakes, and gods,
to deal with a bunch of nonsense, lucky matters. I'm annoyed to death.
But I kept on telling myself, you have to endure.
Because after I leave the company, I will be able to see you.
You are my power.
Let's drink.
Is the situation still very bad?
It's still alright.
There should be no problem and can be dealt with.
Let's not talk about these annoying matters. Let's talk about you.
Was getting out of the hospital smooth for Aunty?
What is it?
Another mom came.
Because of me, the two moms
they are not feeling that happy.
I think I understand,
being stuck between two people will definitely cause a headache.
The both of them are my moms.
They both care for me and love me.
But this puts me in a difficult spot.
I really don't know what to do.
I never thought family love and love relationships are the same.
There needs to be a right amount of number of people to be just right.
If there is one more person or one less person, it will be painful.
Since you can't satisfy both parties, then just don't care about it.
Do what you can do to your heart's conscience.
How is it as easy as you say?
I know.
It's easier said than done.
But just put up with it for now.
I believe it will all pass.
What is it?
Chairman Zhao and President Li want to find me to have a meeting.
What meeting? Sports meeting?
Go find out about the content of the meeting and inform me.
If they are only being grouchy and not being constructive, then avoid it for me.
Song Yiqiang Call ended
Can't you just tell me everything at once?
Is this Director Guan?
Ye-Yes it's me aunty. I'm Guan Yi.
Do you have time?
I wanted to have a chat with you.
I have time, I'll be there right away.
I'm sorry to have called you out at this time.
Don't be so polite.
I should have came to visit earlier.
Meili isn't here.
I made up an excuse so she would go out.
Her father and sister also went out.
I wanted a one on one conversation with you.
Please say what you want to say.
Once I woke up from my coma,
I've realized that a lot of things around me has changed.
First my daughter became Wang Xuan's biological daughter.
And then you and Meili became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Honestly, this is all so unexpected.
Director Guan. Even though Meili isn't from a wealthy family
but she is our treasure.
Do you mind if I ask you one thing.
Are your feelings for her sincere?
My feelings for her are sincere.
Please believe me.
It's not because her biological mother is a famous person right?
Of course not.
I've always only counted on myself. I don't need other people's help.
Good. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease.
I'm sorry. I need to take this.
Speak.
Director, Zhao Dong said he wants to consider how to take care of the event with Xu Ruolin.
Aren't I in the middle of handling this right now?
Tell them to wait.
I'm sorry about that.
It's okay.
Actually I just want to remind you,
even though we are just kids from normal families.
But our Meili a proper girl.
So of course I hope you treat her properly.
Don't worry.
To Meili, I have always been very proper.
I have never lied to her.
Excuse me.
Song Yiqiang, tell them I have gone to Beijing.
If they want to have a meeting, wait for 3 months.
Stop calling.
Excuse me, auntie.
It's fine, Director Guan.
I see that you are quite busy with work. What about
You go back to work and do what you have to do at work.
As long as you are real towards my Meili. That is enough.
On that, I can promise you, auntie.
What I feel towards Meili is real.
I won't let her get hurt in anyway.
Okay. Go work.
My legs don't work very well. I won't see you out.
Come have dinner with us when you are free.
Auntie, there are something I like to tell you.
Being stuck in between two mothers, it is really hard for Meili.
Because she knows, both you and Mrs. Wang love her.
She saw you two fighting because of her,
she felt the most pain.
I am sorry.
Perhaps it is not suitable for me to say something like that.
But someone has to say it.
So many people!
How long will take me?
Hello, Meiyan. It's me.
I am getting you and Mom's favorite. Mingji roasted goose.
Make sure you come home early tonight.
Got it.
I haven't found a job. How am I going to eat?
The Workopolis found a job for me so soon?!
Too soon.
It doesn't need to be that quick actually.
If you want to be my assistant, you need to know the in and out of the music business.
You have to always watch what you said and do.
My ex-assistant always took cloths from me.
Besides, I always see you as my sister.
Giving it to you is a necessary.
I need to go back to Cheng Yi and get the resigning process done after all.
You can lose in life but you can't admit defeat.
You should persevere even more if you fall to the bottom.
Xu Ruolin, you can (do it).
Sis Ruolin.
Meiyan, why are you here?
I am back to finish resigning process.
Sis Ruolin, you shouldn't stay here.
If those paparazzi saw you, you will be in trouble.
I also am going to Cheng Yi.
Let's go up together.
Whatever, I am so hungry. What about coconut chicken?
Okay.
Excuse me, let me pass.
Isn't that Xu Ruolin?
- How dare her come back? - She has the nerve to come back.
Sis Ruolin.
I am here to see Guan Yi.
Director is in a meeting.
If you didn't make an appointment, then...
Brother Yiqiang, with Director Guan and Ruolin's relationship,
why would she make an appointment ahead of time?
That's fine, I will wait at his office.
Get out of the way.
Seriously.
The video of Xu Ruolin hitting Jiang Meili is now on the top of most watched video.
If this is also going to Xu Ruolin's new album,
then our Cheng Yi company is going to make lots of money.
Now the media is spreading the words wanting to boycott.
I think Xu Ruolin is done this time.
Director Guan, what do you think we should do about it?
85%.
What you guys just said is about covering 85% what we talked about last time.
Didn't we already decided that I will deal with it?
So what are we talking about now?
Now the advertising companies keep coming to ask for compensation.
Just the lost in being the spokesperson in advertising ad, you know it.
I think we should cancel our contract with Xu Ruolin.
We shouldn't let her drag down Cheng Yi Company.
So according to you guys, you want to cut your tail off so you can live.
You always tell the artists to believe in the company.
The company will fix it if there is a problem.
So, now there is a problem, you kick them away instead.
Would you do that to your own family members?
This kind of attitude, wouldn't it cast a chill in other artists' mind?
You can't phrase it like that, Director Guan.
Cheng Yi is not a charity institution.
We have the pressure of performance issue.
Now you feel bad for Xu Ruolin and doesn't want to leave her behind.
But should go down because of her?
She has no use for us now.
She is not worth it for us to waste our time.
It is my fault to talk about loyalty and friendship with you guys.
Fine, I will focus on discussing profit and value with you then.
I don't think Xu Ruolin is totally finished.
Show business is like that, up and down.
I believe everyone still want to see how Xu Ruolin fall to the rock bottom and climb back up.
I will help Xu Ruolin to recreate her image.
You don't need to worry about that, Directory Guan.
I already inform the board.
Of course, we won't let you suffer lost.
We all know you have done a lot of work with the mother daughter duet.
So we have already came up with a perfect solution to have the cake and eat it, too.
Unrolling the map to reveal the dagger. (From story of Jing Ke who tried to assassinate Qin Shi)
Fine, I like to see what kind of perfect solution it is.
It is very simple.
We will switch Xu Roulin with Jiang Meili.
So? Are they done with the meeting?
Aren't they just want to kick me out?
One sentence is enough. Do they need to do all that?
Let's go! To the conference room.
Sis Ruolin. That is not a good idea. Let's wait for Director Guan to get back.
I can't wait any longer.
I will fight for my own future.
It will gain a full support on the empathy department.
Back then, weren't you the one who was insisting her to work with Want Xuan?
This is our way to help Director Guan to finish your wish.
Director Guan, don't refuse right away.
Think it through. The total of Xu Ruolin now
Is very obvious.
Jiang Meili is different.
She has a bright future and a upcoming star.
Instead of giving your song you have worked hard for to Xu Ruolin.
You might as well given it to Jiang Meili.
After all, Jiang Meili is your girlfriend.
And she is also Wang Xuan's real daughter.
No matter what, she is better than Xu Ruolin.
I guess you won't understand my determination if I make my action understood.
Guan Yi!
How can they do that? So terrible.
The strongest ones get the prey. This business is always like that.
I took advantage of the revival of fame and stole Yao Si Si's spokesperson gig didn't I?
That is not the same.
Yao Sisi only has look but you are made of real stuff.
Your sister has better voice than I do.
- Sis Ruolin... - Xu Ruolin.
It is really you.
Some co-workers said you will be coming today, I didn't believe it.
So... Are you here to hear someone announcing your death sentence?
You go away.
Wait! It is worst than a death sentence.
Not only your mother and your man been stolen away,
even the new song you have to give it up.
To you, this is like killing you right there.
Sis Ruolin, don't listen to the nonsense.
I didn't talk nonsense.
Everything I said is the truth.
Xu Ruolin, I will be honest with you.
No matter how hard you work. There is no way for you to stand back up.
Because the company has made up its mind.
Also, we already have the plan to let Jiang Meili to replace you.
Director Guan won't agree to that.
He is not the only director in this company.
If he disagree, there is still me.
Xu Ruolin, you are really Jiang Meili's lucky star.
Did you know in order for a new artist to get attention how much money and work the company needs to put in?
But Jiang Meili doesn't need any at all.
We only need to mention you bully her.
Then, it is hard for Jiang Meili not get famous.
As for you,
the result of mentioning your name is bad name to the end.
If you were to be thrown out as garbage,
it will be the type that is poison and can't be recycled.
Sis Ruolin,
you are truly repulsive! You, get out of the way.
Sis Ruolin, wait for me.
Never see you again.
Ruolin came here?
Then why didn't you let me know?
She didn't let me! She said she'd discuss with you after your meeting.
Ruolin.
No matter how hard you work, you won't have the chance to make a comeback,
because the company has already made a decision.
Even the plans are complete. To have Jiang Meili replace you.
Ruolin, you don't look very well.
Shouldn't you go home earlier to rest?
Meiyan, give me my makeup bag. I'd like to fix up my makeup.
Fix your makeup?
Is there somewhere else we need to go?
A star's face is their most important front.
Whether in public or private,
I can't let anyone see that my complexion is bad.
♫ I've long forgotten who decided to let go first ♫
♫ All I remember were eyes filled with tears ♫
♫ Like shooting stars ♫
In the past, I really wanted to become a celebrity.
I thought that they could summon the wind and the rain,
that no matter where they went, they'd be surrounded in lights.
But after all these days, I think that being a celebrity is very hard.
Who knows how much sweat and tears you've exchanged for that smile on your face.
No one starts out being a big star.
We've all walked out from people's uncertainty and scorn.
Do you know how many people were in the audience for my debut stage?
With your reputation, there must have been at least a couple hundred people.
There were 12 people in total.
Aside from a few close friends and the media, who were chasing after my mom,
there were only 12 people to listen to me sing.
But the first time that I felt the stage lights,
and the applause,
I knew that there were 12 people offstage, all focused on me.
I knew then that I would never be able to leave this stage.
All along, it was that applause and those admiring stares that supported me,
as I went from
an unknown, little singer,
until I've become what I am today.
Ruolin, in the past, I thought too lightly of being a celebrity.
Right now, I realize that I don't understand anything at all.
No wonder I couldn't become a celebrity.
The fact that you're thinking this way shows that you already have the right to become a celebrity.
Okay, this is the 100% Xu Ruolin.
Ruolin, you're so pretty,
sparkling, like the stars.
When the entire sky is filled with stars,
who will remember you?
I much prefer shooting stars, igniting themselves,
with all their beauty bursting out.
Although it's short-lived, everyone will remember
its brilliance in that moment that it swept across the sky.
That's right.
Shooting stars really are great.
Meiyan, I'm thirsty. Go and buy me something to drink.
Okay! The milk tea that you sponsor, right?
Okay.
Hey, Ruolin!
Why did she kick me out?
I much prefer shooting stars, igniting themselves,
with all their beauty bursting out.
Although it's short-lived, everyone will remember
its brilliance in that moment that it swept across the sky.
Hello, Director Guan?
Something seems wrong with Ruolin.
Don't panic. First, get a taxi and follow her.
I'll head over right away.
Okay!
President Li, our company is also very optimistic about the market.
Currently–
We're currently expanding out production lines,
and I estimate that next year's output will be doubled.
President, Ruolin is calling.
Excuse me.
Tell her that I'm in a meeting right now.
Text her back, and let her know I'll call back later.
Where were we?
- The output will be doubled. - That's right.
Now, in the future...
President.
The text.
Dad, I've made you upset.
I'm sorry.
President, Li, apologies for taking up your time for some personal matters.
So, are you interested in taking a look around?
- Yes, of course. - Come.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Driver, it's that car. Get closer!
Driver, can you please drive faster?
Hello? I'm already following Ruolin's car.
Meiyan, what are you talking about?
Sis, it's you? I thought it was Director Guan.
I can't explain it all to you right now.
Just now, Ruolin went to Cheng Yi and overheard that they'd be terminating her contract and letting you sing that song.
Where are you right now? I'll go there immediately.
Driver, please get closer.
You just agreed that there is love and care between Meili and me.
Okay then.
Then as her mother, do I have the right to ask you a question?
What right does your daughter have to hit my child?
During this time, just stay here with your adoptive mother.
When you're free, call me.
Remember that I'll miss you. Okay?
Hello?
Ruolin?
