Mr. Lan, if you really know what to do could you please teach me?
If my husband comes home to me I'll be grateful to you for life.
Step One, become friends with your husband, not enemies.
Rui Fan, I have to discuss something with you.
Could you come home for a while?
- Of course. - What's the next step?
Next step, we'll use this month to create a brand new Xie An Zhen.
Start thinking as I speak to you
I'm pretty but I didn't realize that so from
now on, I'll dress up and be pretty everyday.
The Director has already heard about your marital crisis.
You are having an affair with your wife's cousin.
In regards to this, General Manager Zhuang
can take your hands off this matter.
I quit.
How can you quit when you are supposed to
vying for Deputy General Manager's position?
You think there are other Manager positions
lying around in an economic downturn?
Xie An Zhen and I are just friends.
Why would you introduce a friend to me so
formally? And she's making me dinner?
I can't tell that you really can cook.
Stop praising her or she'll be too proud.
Are you worried she'll be too proud for you?
- Oh no! - Come here!
You really can't be taught!
You went back to who you were at the critical moment!
How can you win your husband back?
Meng, Mommy's not scared.
I'll do anything to succeed for you.
Rui Xuan, you and Kang De ask Rui Fan and
Wei En out for dinner this weekend.
We're launching the 'Anti-mistress' scheme!
Subtitles by DramaFever
Should we try 1999 Napa Valley, today?
Why not?
- You've got great taste. - Thank you.
Rui Xuan, I have a headache today...
I'm treating everyone to dinner. Are you trying to make me look bad?
Or are you too embarrassed to sit here?
Who said so?
I just wanted a glass of warm water that's all.
Okay. Waiter!
Could I please have a glass of scalding hot water? Thank you.
Is this wine all right?
It's good.
I'll be there tomorrow. You're welcome.
Hey! What do you mean by this?
What is it?
Are you really courting her?
Yes, I am. Isn't An Zhen lovely?
She's elegant, beautiful and generous.
And she's gentle and caring towards others.
In comparison to those willful and
unreasonable girls, she's much more adorable.
But she's divorced and has a kid, she's older than you as well.
Isn't your boyfriend the same?
Wei En, you've found someone you like
why are you meddling in my relationship?
You think I cared about you?
I'm concerned about my cousin.
If you're so concerned about her
why don't you give her back her husband?
I just can't believe my eyes.
The woman I just met was definitely a supermodel
not my sister-in-law! Unbelievable!
Kang De, could you ask Rui Xuan about An Zhen's relationship with this guy?
Now you're finally jealous?
I'm not jealous. I'm just concerned.
Well, in my opinion, you are simply too blinded to see clearly.
I hope you regret this.
Rui Xuan, let me get the check.
Thank you, Director Lan. You're a rich guy
so I won't decline the offer. Thank you.
- Allow me. - How could I?
This is our first date.
No, I insist.
- Wifey! - What?
Please tell me what you are up to?
What are we up to? Nothing.
Aren't you happy to see An Zhen all dolled up?
I was so thrilled.
But then she's more like a supermodel and not my sister-in-law!
Hao Kang De, this is your final warning.
She's not your sister-in-law anymore!
Do you prefer that she sulks and cries her heart out at home everyday?
- Of course not. - That's good then.
Listen up. The new Xie An Zhen has said goodbye to her past.
But then, our sister-in-law... oh.
- An Zhen. But An Zhen and that guy... - Hey!
What guy? Be more polite!
He's our Director Lan.
You have no idea how rich his family is, silly.
So what if he's rich?
Don't you want to see An Zhen and Rui Fan reconcile as well?
Hey! Knock on wood! Of course not!
Stop that nonsense.
How great it will be if An Zhen marries Mr. Lan
then she can live the rest of her life in luxury.
Go on, tell your buddy Wen Rui Fan about it.
What should I do now?
Both of them are staying in my house at the moment.
Bear this in mind, you must pretend that you don't care about Wen Rui Fan.
When Wen Rui Fan talks to you, make sure
you don't linger. Keep the conversation short.
The point is, you will have to let him know
that you still somehow cared for him.
So... I have to be a bit cold towards him, but not too distant?
What about Wei En?
Her?
You can treat her in whatever manner you want, there's no restriction.
It'll be great if you can piss her off.
Okay, I'll do my best.
I had a really good time today.
I want to be just as happy everyday.
You deserve all the credit. Thank you, sir!
Xie An Zhen.
I told you to act distant. Why are you staring at him?
What an idiot.
Can I come in?
Sure.
What is it?
I'm sorry. I'll move out once I get a new job.
Could you hurry up a bit?
This isn't exactly a suitable situation for Meng right now.
I understand.
It seems like you've changed quite a lot during this month.
Yes, I have. After all, I had lots of time at my mom's place.
Gave me time to think things through.
The point is whether this change in you is truly necessary.
I think I prefer how you were before.
Do you think I'd care about what you think?
Or should I?
An Zhen.
I was going to tell you that perhaps now it's not the best time to...
I read Tagore's verses a few days ago.
One of them goes like this
'If you shed tears when you miss the sun
you'll also miss the stars.'
It's beautifully written, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
So do you want me to miss the stars as well?
No, I just wanted to remind you to be careful.
Don't worry.
I'll be careful not to end up with someone like you again.
I'm getting changed.
What did you just say to An Zhen?
I told her that we'll move out when I get a job.
Isn't this also your home?
When I divorced her, I transferred the ownership of the house to her.
You knew that.
Okay, so now you speak harshly to me because of her?
No, I'm not.
Did you find her very pretty?
She does look very pretty today.
I noticed that you never took your eyes off her in the restaurant today.
I was worried that this change was brought on by sudden aggression.
Hey, whatever changes she makes now is none of your business anymore.
Wei En, An Zhen is my ex-wife.
She's also the mother of my child.
Although we're divorced, should anything
happen to her, I will still take care of her.
Then why bother getting divorced?
Have you regretted your actions because she's become pretty now?
I'm not just in love with your pretty looks.
Am I that shallow?
So... you are truly in love with me?
Of course.
All right then, I'll have to forgive you.
I'm still the better and prettier one anyway.
Aren't I? Right? Right?
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm having a hard time now.
You'll have to help me out.
How can I help you?
Try to rein your tempers in when you interact with An Zhen.
Do you understand?
I will.
I'll wait and see if they are pulling a prank on us.
All right, you should go rest. Stop imagining things.
I have an interview in the morning. All right?
All right. I'll grab a shower first.
Xie An Zhen! Can't you put your shoes away?
Yes, sir!
Right, she's moved back home already.
This is the first time I find my house too quiet.
Miss, I have an appointment with Mr. Xiao
but I've been waiting for over half an hour.
A moment, please.
Rui Fan, sorry to keep you waiting.
- Mr. Xiao... - Sorry, Rui Fan.
Our General Manager has a last minute meeting.
We'll have to postpone your interview.
Oh, okay. It's fine.
I'm sorry, Rui Fan. You should know, words get around in this industry.
Your affair caused quite a commotion.
I know that I've put you in a tight spot.
Sorry, Rui Fan. I'll get back to work then.
I'm sure there will be opportunities.
Your hand was here, but now...
Go... take your steps...
Left feet, your left feet. Sorry...
I'm so dizzy.
Why do we have to keep spinning round and round?
What's fun about this?
That's called Waltz.
You're really dumb.
No wonder I keep stepping on your feet.
Hey, the instructor was correcting you more just now.
So there are things that Mr. Lan is not good at.
It doesn't matter. But why do we have to learn this?
Why? Because this will teach you to become more feminine.
To be more feminine? Then why are you here?
Of course I'm here for you!
Will you take the class seriously if I'm not here?
I've always been very serious.
If it weren't for you today, I won't be so nervous.
And I weren't so serious about this, how did we manage to fool those two? Right?
All you've learnt so far is but a scratch on the surface.
What are you so proud of?
All right, don't give me that look.
You actually... did quite well.
Really?
This is my first compliment from you.
Whatever. Think what you will.
Okay, sir. What's my next step?
Next?
Next, you'll need to be on your own and try to improvise along the way.
Fixate on your target and work that brain of yours.
You'll know how to respond.
But, you still have a barrier to cross.
What?
What are these for?
Xie An Zhen, you're an idiot!
What did you do that for?
You have no idea how much fun this is. Try it.
Are you bowling?
Throw harder! Come on.
Throw it with force.
- Can I curse at people? - Of course.
Unleash it, okay?
Lan Tian Wei! You are a... pain in the butt!
This is such a thrill!
Then have another one. Go on.
Wen Rui Fan, you bastard!
You cheater!
- Two timer! - Wow...
I must have been blind!
Bastard!
Li Wei En is a bastard too!
You called me your sister? Your sister?
Why don't you rot in hell?
How was it? Was it thrilling?
But...
How can you call this some sort of training?
Xie An Zhen, people take advantage of you
because you are afraid of confrontation.
Don't be afraid.
When you should fight for your rights, say it out loud.
The key to success is to temper force with mercy.
Do you read me?
Yes, sir!
Xie An Zhen, how dare you yell at me?
That one went far. Lan Tian Wei!
- What? - I'm pissed off!
Pissed off? You made me learn to waltz!
- Now my feet hurts! - You suck at waltz!
Nasty Xie An Zhen! Talk bad about me!
Why is the interview postponed?
It's just an excuse. There isn't any chance.
Really?
Well, it's all right. I'm sure with your potential, you'll get another job.
It has nothing to do with potential now.
Don't worry, trust me. You can do this.
Let's have baguette with cheese tonight.
And a bottle of red wine!
Can we not have that? We've been having
bread for the past three days. Can we have something else?
Oh... Well, what would you like? I can cook.
But can you cook?
I can't so I'm doing you a favor, okay?
Forget it. An Zhen is home already.
What did you say?
Do you still think she'll cook for us?
So you still miss her cooking?
I must be crazy.
This smells so good.
Thanks.
We're having something nice too.
Baguette with cheese and red wine!
Rui Xuan is coming over with kids, so...
We're having dinner here.
Okay, I'll get you wine glasses.
- Go upstairs. - What are you afraid of?
I couldn't care less. Let's go.
Let's go!
- There you go. - What?
- For me? - Of course it's for you.
Unless you're offering this to the gods.
- I'm full. - Full on french baguette?
Luckily it smells like bread or I would have thought it's a prop.
I'm too full anyway.
Take it. An Zhen saved this for you.
She had you on her mind. She's worried that you might be hungry.
How could you not eat that?
Look at you. An Zhen cooks so well
and you could have whatever you wanted.
But now? It's difficult to get a bite.
Forget about this. I am really full.
Well, after I gave him a piece of my mind
Mr. Wen didn't want the food anymore.
Why did you do that? Why provoke him?
Don't worry, this is just as I expected.
An Zhen, I have an idea.
The next time you cook, cook something
greasy so it gives off a lot of cooking fumes.
Then make sure you don't switch on the
kitchen ventilator so the smell goes upstairs.
So that he gets the whiff of the food but can't have it. He'll starve.
Hao Kang De, you really don't get it, do you?
Do you think An Zhen is really out for revenge?
An Zhen is trying to win him back...
So the two of you are up to something!
Keep it down!
So I was scared for nothing!
I was worried that my sister-in-law is really going to be wooed away.
Then I won't get to enjoy her cooking.
Hao Kang De.
I am warning you.
If you dare to let slip any information this time
you will then be labeled the worst traitor ever.
I swear I'll tear you apart and never forgive you. Do you hear me?
Can you not just skin me alive?
An Zhen, you've changed...
When tackling jerks, kindness is unnecessary!
Wow, An Zhen, you've become so forceful.
Remarkable! Remarkable!
I promise to abide by the rules so please believe in me, sister-in-law.
The person who said the same thing last time has already been severely punished.
Exactly! And you have to stop saying that I'm your sister-in-law.
Well, it's really troublesome correcting my habit.
You'll end up being my sister-in-law anyway.
Hao Kang De, you're such an ass-licker.
She's not your sister-in-law for ages already!
But ladies, we have a serious problem right now.
Although I did tell Wen Rui Fan not to come
clean with the divorce until Dad has completed
his routine heart check up.
But...
Mom and Dad are running out of patience.
They kept asking us about you and Rui Fan.
We can't take it anymore.
Who is it? Coming!
Who is it?
Mom!
Divorced?
Mom and Dad, I'm sure you could tell that we had some issues, right?
Although Wei En is the trigger I must have also done wrong as well.
What... what wrong have I done in the past?
My son actually did something like this!
Dad, don't say that.
An Zhen, it must be that woman who started it.
Could you not be angry?
I used to pick on you in the past
but I love you, you do know that, right?
I understand that, Mom.
Could you both not get upset or worried?
We are divorced but it's not the end.
Because I've decided to snatch Rui Fan back.
Mr. Wen, I'll be straightforward with you.
I'm impressed with your capability.
- Thank you, sir. - But our Taipei office...
is not short on staff.
Only the offices down south is short of a Regional Supervisor.
Of course, you are at the level of a Deputy General Manager.
So now that you have to settle for a position
as a mere Supervisor may seem too much of
a difference for you. It's a let down for you.
However, this could also be good for you.
You can stay away from the rumors.
If you are willing to accept the offer, you can come to work anytime.
If there aren't any position available here
I'll keep looking for others then.
Mr. Wen, in terms of where you stand
in the industry now, I think this is a fair offer.
This is a friendly reminder from me.
It's not always smooth sailing for every successful person.
Who doesn't stumble?
A great man knows when to yield and when not to.
Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
All right, think about it and call me anytime
if you've decided to accept the offer.
Goodbye.
I didn't know that you came home.
Wait a minute!
Could you zip me up? I can't do it on my own.
- Is it done? - Yes, it is.
Thank you.
You are all dressed up. Where are you off to?
Mr. Lan is taking me to an opening ceremony of an art gallery.
- Art gallery? - Yes.
I didn't know you were into paintings.
You used to say that I don't know you well.
But what do you know about me?
What are you two doing?
I asked Rui Fan to zip me up, can't I?
Of course not.
Because he's my boyfriend now.
Are you trying to seduce him by dressing up?
Seduce?
Anyone can say that word but you.
- Will you both stop fighting? - She was the one who asked for it.
My dear cousin, you're already quite old
so dressing up like this just makes you look even older.
Wei En, if that's all you can come up with
jealousy has just made you look uglier.
- How dare... - All right! Stop!
Let's go. Just go!
Come on, let's go.
Don't come in!
Could you listen to me?
I don't want to! Go away!
Wen Rui Fan, I dislike you!
Wei En, what are you doing?
Calm down!
Calm down? I am very calm right now.
I, Li Wei En would rather sleep rough than stay in this lousy place!
What should we do? Maybe we don't need to keep pretending now, because...
Don't look up! Wen Rui Fan is watching us from above.
So make sure we don't get busted.
Here, be careful.
I'm giving you back to her today. Are you happy?
I had a really bad day. Could you stop being so childish?
- Let go of me! - Listen to me!
Let go of me!
Is this okay?
Although An Zhen asked us to stay out of this
how could we stand by without helping out?
That Wei En is a jinx.
We must help to get our son back.
Seriously...
I don't want to listen to you, go away!
Wei En, what a coincidence!
I was looking for you. Let's talk upstairs, come on.
- Auntie... - Let's talk upstairs.
Dad, what brings you here?
What? Can't I come over?
How dare you not tell us about the divorce!
Do you want to drive us to our deathbeds?
- Who told you about it? - Is that important?
- Let me tell you this... - What is it, Auntie?
We already know that Rui Fan and An Zhen are divorced.
I also know that you are seeing Rui Fan.
Don't worry. I like you the most.
I've never liked An Zhen.
I was the one who trained her to be so skilled in house chores.
I think you're much smarter than she was.
You'll perform much better than she did.
So if I have you as my daughter-in-law
a lot of people will praise you all the time.
I'm here to help you today.
Don't worry. I like you the most.
I've never liked An Zhen.
I was the one who trained her to be so skilled in house chores.
I think you're much smarter than she was.
You'll perform much better than she did.
So if I have you as my daughter-in-law
a lot of people will praise you all the time.
I'm here to help you today.
I'll help you get this house back!
He gave everything to An Zhen
including this house.
So what does she expect my son to live on?
Am I right?
- Really, Auntie? - Of course.
Wei En, can you cook?
Not really... just a little.
Don't be too modest.
We happen to drop in so this is your chance to show us a trick or two.
So why don't you go get some groceries
and make us dinner? We'll stay for dinner, okay?
Thank you.
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking about a question He Ai Lin once asked me.
- What do I want? - Okay. Then?
Back then, I answered without hesitation that
all I wanted was for my husband and child
to be happy and healthy.
Yes, that sounds like Xie An Zhen.
I didn't say that was bad.
But now I don't have a clue anymore.
I have a question for you.
Do you think I am still the same person I was?
Xie An Zhen, I didn't turn you into someone else.
All I did was to make the best out of your potential.
But... I feel like I've turned into a bad person.
I kept coming up with wicked ideas and saying really mean things too.
I felt so unlike myself.
Perhaps in the beginning I was happy that I can bite back.
But now that doesn't make me happy anymore.
So have you forgotten how they treated you?
But does that mean I have to treat them equally bad as well?
The sort of person that I wanted to be
shouldn't be influenced by how others treated me, should it?
You have a mind of your own now.
Far from it. I feel so lost.
Lost? Isn't it about getting Wen Rui Fan back?
You know what?
Since this happened till now...
I kept thinking to myself...
if he still loves me.
Why did he stop loving me?
Why did he leave me?
Why this? Why that?
But it's never crossed my mind to ask myself... if I still love him.
You're still cooking?
Oh, you haven't removed the scales on this fish and you are going to cook it?
And what about spring onions and ginger?
I didn't buy them.
How are you going to make the soy sauce braised dish without them?
Let me take a look.
Luckily An Zhen has kept some on the side.
You didn't cut and wash the cauliflower before you cook it.
How can you cook it like that?
It needs to be soaked in water as well!
What are you making with the beef?
Pan-frying it. It can't go in a soup, can it?
Wei En, cooking is one of the basic chores
a daughter-in-law should be capable of.
I only told you off a bit and you are already throwing tantrums.
You have to be more patient. An Zhen is a lot better than you in that aspect.
Don't keep glaring at me. Cook!
You'd better cook faster or we'll have it for breakfast instead!
An Zhen, An Zhen, An Zhen.
Here's the soup.
Bon Appetit!
Oh my, this is so salty!
And this beef is tasteless. Did you add salt?
She must have added all the salt into the soy sauce braised fish.
So which of these dishes is edible?
Excuse me, it's fact that I can't cook well
but Rui Fan is in love with me.
Look at her. How rude is she to the elderly?
You claimed that you can cook.
That's why I asked you to do it but then you turn out to be a flop.
You are such a good liar.
If you're here to pick on me
well, then please leave now!
If you're here to pick on me
well, then please leave now!
Now, let's get this straight. Who are you to say that to us?
You are the unwanted person in this house.
Sit down.
Look at her! Nasty bitch!
Rui Fan, are you blind or what?
Dad, Mom... you don't understand.
I don't understand you.
Ridiculous.
Look what you've gotten yourself into.
You've thrown away your career and family.
As your father, I'm ashamed to face An Zhen.
I've never felt more ashamed!
You'd better beg for An Zhen's forgiveness
before someone else sweeps her off her feet!
- You stupid child! - Let's go!
Stop crying.
I know you were put in a spot.
It's always difficult in the beginning.
At least, I'm here to back you up.
Everyone needs time to get used to this.
Am I right?
Why can't love stay simple?
Why is it so difficult to love someone?
It's really difficult to just be in love.
Do I need you to tell me that?
I can be as sarcastic as I can possibly be right now
but I can't be bothered anymore.
Thank you for listening to me.
We've been best buddies for years and
we are family after all.
Although I'm mad at you
I really do still want the best for you.
Frankly speaking, I've never been unemployed.
I felt like an unwanted stray that's been chased away by every household.
I've got to be cautious with everyone I meet and put on a fake smile.
I don't know why I ended up like this.
That's because you've had such a smooth sail
and that made you think that you're invincible.
This is a lesson given to you from the gods.
They gave An Zhen one as well.
That's why she managed to pick herself up.
She's morphed into a different person.
The problem is, she's changed too much.
Honestly, An Zhen has you to thank.
If you hadn't dumped her, how could she possibly attain the happiness now?
Hey, did you look into the relationship
between An Zhen and Lan Tian Wei?
Hey bro, I'm your buddy so I'll let you know a bit about it.
Lan Tian Wei has been hot on her heels.
But An Zhen hasn't succumbed to his charms yet.
Or should I say, she isn't in love with him yet.
It's too late to regret now.
I haven't regretted.
Thank you.
Why put on a glum face?
This training is hard to come by.
I don't feel at ease leaving Meng with them.
This will make Wei En realize that she's not the
only important person in Wei Rui Fan's life.
Meng, I know how to play with this.
Do you want me to teach you?
I really do know how to play with this.
How about, if you call me Mommy then I'll teach you?
But I already have my mommy.
Isn't one more Mommy even better?
There's only one Mommy.
Who said so? I had two Moms.
One is my biological mother and the other is the wife my dad married.
My daddy didn't marry another wife.
If he does, then you have to call her Mommy.
Wen Yu Meng!
What's wrong with you?
There's only one Mommy!
Apologize now!
I won't!
- Say sorry now! - I won't!
I'm closing the door now.
But if you apologize to me right away, I'll forgive you.
I won't!
Okay, fine. So you can't come in if you won't apologize to me.
Let me in! Let me in!
Let me in!
Where's Meng?
She was rude. She pushed me so she's being punished.
Punished?
Why are you so nervous?
You have to teach her some manners when she's rude.
When I was rude as a kid, my dad locked me out.
Where is she?
Are you throwing tantrums at me?
I was busy looking up jobs on the internet so I asked you to look after Meng.
But now you've lost sight of her!
Isn't she in the backyard?
This house can't get any bigger than this. Where else can she be?
Meng! Meng!
Meng! Meng! Meng!
Meng! Meng! Are you all right?
How is she?
She took some paracetamol.
The doctor said she's okay now.
I'm really sorry for not taking good care of her.
I'd like to explain what happened.
Wei En didn't do it on purpose.
- She's just fooling around with Meng... - Enough!
It's all right. Stop it. Don't wake Meng up.
An Zhen, please believe in me.
I'll love Meng forever.
And I'll care for you all my life.
Why did I do this?
Is this really what I wanted?
Subtitles by DramaFever
- What is it? - I hate Daddy.
I've decided to abort the plan.
I don't want Meng to hate anyone or to become another Wei En.
Xie An Zhen, you're fierce.
Ai Lin, the Director obtained a copy of Wei En's flyers from someone.
I can't help you anymore. I'm sorry, Ai Lin.
The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
So I believe Ms. Xie's husband must have been completely drawn to her.
I'm actually divorced.
Ai Lin! Let's stay strong!
Although we've lost something precious
being fierce is being true to ourselves.
Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!
Admiring your own works?
Xie An Zhen isn't one of my works
she's who she really is.
She has the house, the car, everything!
Only missing a loving husband that's all!
- She's become so scary! - Wei En, enough!
Do you want me to tell everyone that Xie An Zhen is lying?
I didn't wrong her?
Stay out of my business!
