Auntie.
Didn't Daddy promise to come see me play?
It's ok, I already recorded everything.
Daddy can listen to it in the car later, okay?
Daddy!
Sorry, Daddy's late.
Happy birthday, my little princess.
Do you like the present I got you?
Of course.
What secret are you two exchanging?
Nothing, let's go.
The piano teacher, in front of all the students today, said
that Mu Cheng's hands were born for playing the piano.
She plays better than everyone else.
Mrs. Yang.
Mu Cheng's hands were born for playing the piano.
You have to treat these hands with a lot of care.
Of course, our Mu Cheng loves to play the piano.
Here, this is for everyone.
Even on her birthday, she didn't want to miss the lesson.
It's her birthday today?
That's right.
Then let's all wish her a happy birthday, ok?
Happy birthday!
Which one do you want?
I want the strawberry one.
You just had to pick the expensive one.
Mr. CEO,
the bank has froze our assets, investors will know that we'll be bankrupt soon.
No one wants to help us?
This means I'm already bankrupt.
Alright, I left my wallet in the car,
tell your dad to come pay, I'll order the cake.
Okay.
Daddy!
Someone got hit!
Yun Zhong!
What's wrong, Yun Zhong?!
Where's the ambulance? Someone call an ambulance...
Daddy.
The teacher said she'll teach me the second half of this song.
You have to come listen when I've mastered Air on G String.
Don't think you can avoid the debt just because he's dead.
Maybe Liang Yun Zhong was afraid of going to jail,
so he hit the car himself.
Let me tell you,
even if you sell everything here, it's still not enough!
Wang, take everything.
Mr. Wang.
Don't take that.
Please don't do this.
Auntie!
I don't want the doll.
I want auntie.
Hey, you!
Don't run!
Hey you!
What are you doing?
How can you take my food?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Ok, I'll give it back!
I'm sorry!
How can you steal?
I'm sorry!
-You're hurting my hand! -Stop hitting her.
Don't take the piano away.
Don't take it away.
Liang Mu Cheng!
Liang Mu Cheng.
You're still thinking about playing the piano?
Your daddy really spoiled you, you had everything.
But he's dead now, he's dead!
Why are you crying?
You have nothing, like me, I should be the one crying!
Let me see if your hands are okay.
He shouldn't have...
It's ok, I'm okay.
Liang Mu Cheng.
What are you doing, Liang Mu Cheng!
If you want to leave, leave by yourself.
Auntie is tired, I don't want to be hungry anymore.
But that man...
It's none of your business.
Go inside and finish your noodles.
Didn't you promise to behave?
Come on, your noodles are getting cold.
Thank you.
You have nothing now!
No piano.
No birthday parties.
Nothing!
Nothing...
Mu Cheng, take these back first.
Ok.
Thank you.
Autumn's Concerto
Chapter 1
Boss.
You didn't forget what I ordered yesterday, right?
The wild sea bass you wanted,
I special ordered two from Penghu.
And saved one for you.
And I get an employee discount of 35% off.
Here's NT$2000.
It's ok.
You've been a good employee here.
Consider this a bonus.
Don't tell my wife.
Don't forget.
Shield it from the sun.
If the water leaks out on the way,
get home within the hour.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the sea bass is,
it'll still die.
Got it.
My bus!
Wait for me!
Liang Mu Cheng.
Just wait one more month.
After you pass the high school exam,
then you'll be free.
Look, it's a Porsche.
Why does he keep honking?
Do you know how to drive?
You think the road is yours?
What happened?
What are you doing?
Driving like that?
What happened?
Get out.
Are you happy now?
I'm tossing away everything other guys have given me.
You don't have to be jealous anymore.
You think I told you to get out,
because I'm jealous?
I'm just giving you a chance,
to leave the worst man in the world.
Me.
Ren Guang Xi.
Get out.
Guang Xi.
Don't be like this.
I really like you.
Like me?
Then I'll give you ten seconds.
To cry from heartbreak.
To prove how much you like me.
I heard women cry from being heartbroken.
Let's see.
Show me how much it hurts you.
Are you playing me?
I'm not getting out.
I'm sitting right here with you.
Young man, if you want to fight with your girlfriend,
go home, don't embarrass yourselves here.
You better leave soon.
Or I'll call the cops.
Please call them.
I'd rather be taken away by the cops,
than be haunted by a woman.
You were the one that said it.
I'm calling the cops.
Mister, Miss.
What is that?
Take it away!
-I'm sorry. -It's disgusting.
I don't mean to interrupt.
But can you please stop for a second,
park your car aside, so the bus can pass.
Then you can continue your conversation.
Sorry, she wants to talk, I don't.
I don't want this car anymore.
You can have it.
You can see it as a...
parting gift.
The car is hers now.
You can talk to her now.
Mister!
Mister, you didn't really solve the problem.
I mean...
Look at that traffic there...
if you can just move the car,
then everyone can go home.
Miss, did you know...
Interfering with others' business can bring you trouble.
For example...
Making a man interested in a woman.
Why are you butting into our relationship?
Go away!
I'm not interested in your relationship.
I just want to get my fish home.
You two.
Even kindergarten kids know to walk on the right side,
and never park your car in the middle of the road.
You two look like you're in college.
Miss, you don't need to explain so much to them.
For people like him,
just slap him on the face.
Just slap him.
Shut up.
Miss.
You've got guts.
I like it.
But you're really embarrassing me.
You have to work with me here.
Let's come to a compromise.
What do you want to do?
Get in the car.
If you want to get out of here, it's easy.
I'll teach you how to move the car.
But I don't know how to drive.
I'll teach you.
Hit the brake with you left foot.
And the gas with your right.
Start the engine.
What's going on now?
Does she know how to drive?
Who knows.
And then?
The next step,
is very important.
You can't hesitate.
You have to finish it in one movement.
Release the hand brake.
Push the shift stick down.
Release your left food, step on your right!
No!
She hit the car!
How can she do this?
The whole bumper is ruined.
Let me go.
Let's go.
I didn't do anything, why did you bring me here?
Shut up! This is the police station.
Be quiet.
Let me go!
-Let's go! -Let me go!
Sir.
I've already explained.
I was just trying to move the car.
I didn't mean to hit the bus.
This is not what the owner of the car said.
Mr. Ren Guang Xi already confessed.
He told his girlfriend to back up the car,
endangering the public.
-I'm not his girlfriend. I'm his girlfriend.
I don't know this girl.
You can let her go.
Ren Guang Xi!
What do you think I am?
A bus?
You can take and go as you please?
Let me say this again.
I have nothing to do with you anymore.
Unless you want me to tell the officer,
every single thing I hate about women like you?
Watch it.
Hitting someone in the police station will get you arrested right away.
What are you doing?
This is a police station.
You think you can do what you want?
Isn't your father a supervisor at Shende University?
Don't you have a little common sense?
Ren Guang Xi!
Nobody can treat me this way.
Including you.
I'll make you pay for what you did today.
Sir.
His girlfriend already left,
I should be able to leave right?
I have a family emergency,
I really have to go.
That depends...
on if that man is willing to settle this with you peacefully.
You were the one that hit the car.
This car,
is really expensive.
Really expensive?
Mister.
You and I both know.
It's your fault the car got hit, not mine.
You were the driver.
Don't try to get out of this.
It's just a bumper.
How much will it cost?
A bumper, paint, interior.
Around ten thousand dollars?
Ten thousand?
You wanted to drive.
I beg you to tell them the truth.
You asked me to back up the car.
I'm not an idiot.
The insurance company wouldn't give me the money if I said that.
I really have a family emergency.
I only have 15 minutes,
to get the fish back.
Don't have to worry about it now.
Now we can talk about,
my compensation.
You're so selfish,
you don't have anything else to worry about in your life right?
That's why you can just hurt others like that.
I can tell you.
You are only hurting yourself.
Because you're treating yourself as trash,
hurling yourself into the trash can!
You're right.
I am trash.
Ever since I lost my dad at 8,
I was diagnosed with PTSD.
I still suffer from childhood trauma,
I can't control my emotions.
Always get into trouble.
Ruining my own life.
Living like trash.
Happy now?
What's the matter?
Don't tell me you're feeling sorry for me,
because I don't have a father.
Who needs your pity.
You created a new challenge for me?
Endangering the public.
Hitting a bus.
I've never thought of taking on a case like this.
You didn't need to come, Attorney Lin.
I could've handled it without you.
I've already memorized the story you made up.
Everything about the childhood trauma.
You can ask her if you don't believe me.
She believed me for a second.
One of the symptoms of this illness,
is denial.
I have a report from Mr. Ren's psychologist.
I'm sorry.
My client has trouble managing his emotions.
He is still being treated.
Everything should be recorded in his case file here.
And I am here to represent him today,
to resolve any legal issues.
Please fill out this representative form then.
You were late.
You usually arrive within ten minutes.
The old lady didn't come?
Your mother had an emergency to take care of,
so she couldn't come.
You even thought of an excuse for her.
You're getting really good at tidying up ends for her.
Miss.
Can we settle our business,
after we get out of here?
Miss.
Is she still here?
That guy is still here.
She's still here.
Miss, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Thank God.
Don't worry.
We are here as your witness.
We know you wanted to help the driver.
You were tricked by that guy!
Am I right?
That's right.
Officer.
Let me tell you,
That miss is a really kind person.
You have to let her go.
It was him.
It was he who tricked her into backing up the car.
We all saw it.
She didn't break the car.
He was the one that told her to do it.
For someone like him,
you have to lock him up.
Lock him up.
Old lady, it's none of your business.
Watch your back if you keep this up.
I'm warning you.
Even if you have your lawyer present,
I can still charge you,
if you threaten witnesses.
Miss.
Since you have so many witnesses,
you are cleared of all responsibilities from him and the car.
You can even charge him with false accusation.
It's ok.
I just want to get out of here.
You can choose to settle peacefully.
But for someone so selfish,
who wastes our national resources so willingly,
we should really teach him a lesson.
Let's teach him a lesson.
Teach him a lesson.
You're right. For someone like him,
we should make him do volunteer work.
That should be his punishment.
Yes, yes!
What the hell.
You think this is a court,
where you can convict me?
Are you deaf?
Can't you hear their nonsense?
There's so many witnesses.
I suggest you accept it.
Hey, it's me.
Guess who I just saw directing traffic?
It's Ren Guang Xi from law school.
I'll prove it with a picture.
Don't take my picture!
Who said you can take pictures?
What school are you from?
Give me your memory card.
Give the phone to me.
Your time is not up yet,
go back to where you were.
Your time is not up yet.
It's those people again.
Damn you, fish girl!
What?
It's gone?!
What do you mean it's gone?
Would a fish walk out by itself?
I already told you that fish is very important for today.
If there's no fish, it's the end for us three.
Worst comes to worst, we'll go back to what we did before.
We'll work banquets all over the island,
and be waitresses.
Forget about student cafeterias,
and pretend we're high class.
Please don't be mad.
I will think of a way to get another fish.
Then what are you waiting for?
Registration Fee.
Shende Private University.
Hot hot hot.
Get out of the way.
It looks great.
Chef.
-May I ask... -Yes?
Did you have to use something so expensive?
Just to cook something for that president?
Of course I did.
This is a school.
The president is the highest person here.
If you don't suck up to her, who you going to suck up to?
The president already told us,
that she likes steamed sea bass.
We have to grab the chance to show off,
otherwise we'll never have a chance.
You're taking all the credit,
but Mu Cheng is doing all the work.
Have you noticed?
Mu Cheng's been working nonstop since she got back,
sweating up a storm, she'll get sick if she doesn't get dry.
That's right.
Mu Cheng, you reek of fish and sweat.
Come on, I brought clean clothes.
Go get changed.
Come on.
Let's go. Go change.
I'll go back and change.
No, that's too much trouble.
Just do it here, there's no one else here.
You don't have to worry. Hurry.
Hurry, or the food will get cold.
Who are you?
Hello. I'm the new vendor from Shende University's new cafeteria.
We'd like you to try our meal.
How was your golf session, Madam President?
Don't talk about it.
I was supposed to meet with Mr. Ho from HwangYu Properties today,
thinking I could talk about the loan with him.
But he stood me up.
Looks like he wants to force me to put up Shende Hall too.
Heat it up in the kitchen then give it to me.
Ok.
What a horrible day.
So the emergency Lawyer Lin was referring to,
was golf.
I had a meeting with Mr. Ho,
about a major deal with the school.
Mrs. Chen, ice water!
It was an emergency alright.
The number in your bank account,
was more important than the number of times I was arrested.
If you didn't get yourself in trouble and arrested all the time,
then you wouldn't have to worry about me being around to bail you out.
I didn't think you would turn out to be like him,
since you were under my care.
You wouldn't cause trouble all the time.
But turns out you didn't inherit any of his musical talents,
instead you got all of the embarrassing skills.
You can ridicule me all you want. I don't care.
But don't talk about Dad like that.
Lawyer Lin.
What's the charge this time?
Speeding?
Drunk driving?
Violence?
Or interfering with the police?
Madam President.
Guang Xi didn't do...
It wasn't a big deal.
I hit a bus.
Endangered the public.
And served five hours of volunteer work.
You should be used to it.
Shouldn't be a surprise to you.
What's wrong with Mr. Chang's daughter?
What did she do to you?
She told me you embarrassed her in public.
What did she do to deserve this?
You should ask yourself that question.
Don't forget.
You were the one that taught me,
how fake a woman's love can be.
Madam, I've heated everything up.
There's also the wild sea bass you like.
Take it away, I'm not eating.
That fish was expensive.
You're just my lawyer,
not my guardian.
What are you still doing here?
I brought this back for you from the police station.
Your mom would be so happy,
if she knew you haven't completely given up on yourself.
Are you daydreaming?
That's not mine.
That fish girl.
Today, at the Floral Arrangements Club,
we will learn how to tie flowers.
First,
we will pair balloon flowers,
with roses.
Treat flowers like women.
Give them love and respect.
Otherwise,
they will get hurt.
Let them feel the gentle care from your fingertips.
Then they will bloom for you.
Boss.
Sorry, I can't take it anymore.
You did everything back home, from meditating to fighting.
But how can you...
how can you do something so feminine?
Boss.
Seriously, too sissy.
Funny, eh?
What's this, so sissy. Sissy.
How dare you call me sissy?
You're not sissy? You're not sissy?
Come here!
Do you know what's so cool about lotus?
-What's cool about it? -What?
That it's not polluted by the muddy water it comes out of.
You useless people.
Why did you join the club? You can't even compare to the flowers.
Do you know why I'm using balloon flowers?
Because it represents p resistance.
Unchanging love.
Do you get it? Do you?
I do.
Just like how you studied so hard all of a sudden,
just to go after the girl you like.
At the ripe old age of 22,
got yourself admitted to the Shende Horticulture School.
Leaving his garden behind,
and became the oldest freshman of the year.
That's persistence.
Boss, you're too good.
What do you know?
I am teaching you how to respect flowers.
To know the flowers.
-Yes yes... -But you've talking nonsense.
Come here!
I'll show you.
Who you calling sissy?
Sissy?
Hua Tuo Ye.
Help is here.
It's your "wife", your "wife" is here!
Hua Tuo Ye.
Let's go.
Hua Tuo Ye.
Hello.
You're wearing the uniform.
Yea, we were just filming a lesson,
on tying flowers for the club.
Are you done?
Not yet.
We have to reshoot.
What's up?
Of course you have to reshoot.
You didn't even put this on right, whatever you shot was wasted.
If you wanted to wear the uniform, you have to treat it with respect.
There you go.
Don't you think he looks sissy in it?
Not at all.
He's wearing the uniform, it means he cares about this role.
Just like how doctors wears the white jacket.
Priests wear their robes.
Men look the best when they are devoted to something.
Unlike this selfish guy I ran into on the bus today.
And he turns out to be the son of Shende U's president.
Can't believe it.
Forget it, I don't want to talk about him.
Mu Cheng.
Thank you.
Why thank me?
I should be thanking you.
For bringing so much business to the student cafeteria.
And for taking that book out from the library for me,
so I can prepare for the exam.
I almost forgot,
I came to return that English book.
It's...
What's wrong?
It's okay. It's okay if you forgot to bring it.
No big deal if it's overdue for a day or two.
How can this happen?
Shende U doesn't lend its books to non-students.
You already sneaked it out for me, if I lost the book,
you'll be in big trouble.
I'll go find it.
Wait for me.
Mu...
Mu Cheng.
Boss.
Here.
Good luck.
These... these are balloon flowers.
They're easy to care for.
For you.
Thank you.
Balloon flowers represent...
unchanging love.
I still need to find the book.
Thanks for these.
Bye bye.
Boss.
You're good at fighting,
and gardening.
But why are you so bad at chasing girls?
What?
If all you do is give her flowers, borrow books for her,
and send her off without a word.
She will run off with someone else one day.
Really?
You know she is already at the top of the list,
of the Hottest Girls at school.
Boss, you will never win against your competitors with your attitude.
You're too weak.
What do you know?
O God.
Come here.
Look how smart Mu Cheng is.
How can she run off with those guys?
Also,
as long as I'm here,
Mu Cheng is under my protection.
If anyone dares to touch her,
I will make sure they all suffer one by one.
Did I leave it at the police station?
What police station?
Hurry up and to go take shower.
What's that noise?
What happened?
I just... saw a big rat.
A big rat?
How big?
Very big.
Very big?
It's all your fault.
Didn't you say everything here at Shende U was the best?
Now we've got rats running all over the dorm.
You better think of a way to catch it tomorrow.
Forget that it scared her,
what if it comes out again and scare me tomorrow?
Do I own Shende University?
If you're scared of rats,
then you might as well close your restaurant.
I don't care, just catch it tomorrow.
I, Lin Li Xia, am not scare of anything... except rats.
Here's the guy who avenged you.
He took care of Chang Ai Li.
Ren Guang Xi, the master of Shende University.
I'll pay since I lost the bet.
You took care of Chang Ai Li in a week.
Here.
I should've bet on bigger things.
This is less money than if I had fooled a 3 year old.
You called her the prettiest girl in Business school?
I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.
Take my advice, you can pick a pretty girl next time,
But don't expect to have their heart.
Because they have none. Got it?
Sell this online, pay off your credit card debt.
If it's still not enough, consider it a tuition for this experience.
Thank you so much.
-Bye bye. -Bye bye.
Thanks again.
Let's bet again then.
It's the last time.
Chiang already found the new target for you.
You already took care of the seven prettiest girls at school.
You must be bored.
Let me tell you, there's this new girl at school.
This girl is totally different from the likes of Chang Ai Li.
Not a single guy at school can get her number.
Imagine all the guys she's hurt.
What do you think?
I'll send you her info and picture later.
Let's make her show her true self.
