[Final Episode]
Qing Huan, are you still here?
I think taking a temporary break is the best thing to do.
Take care of Lin Yue during this time.
Don't come find me, and don't call me.
I'm afraid I'll regret my decision if I hear your voice or see you.
I won't be able to let you go.
I'm still here. I'll be waiting for you.
Mom.
Are you well?
Not too bad.
The heavens see everything we do.
I still remember everything you told me Zhi Wei said about me.
As it turns out... here I am, old and alone.
20 years of building an enterprise... all gone, just like that.
Scheming, competing...
In the end, we all just get trapped in our own web.
It would've been fine if it had only hurt me...
but it also hurt the person I love the most.
I know you still care about people.
Whether it's Mr. Zhai, Qing Huan, or Zen Corporation.
Friendship is priceless.
I believe that in our hearts, we're the same.
You've really grown up.
I was afraid that you wouldn't want to see me.
Why wouldn't I? You're my mother. No one can change that.
You know...
I think my fate was decided the moment Zen Corporation was established.
I still have a lot of things I need to do.
I need to go away for some time.
You need to leave again?
Come with me.
I...
I need to stay.
Foolish girl. Because of that Li Dong Ye?
I asked him to marry me.
My daughter is getting married?
I'm happy for you.
You are undeniably my daughter... being proactive about your life.
Although, you being with him puts me at ease.
I love you, you know that, right?
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
I'm really sorry.
Mom.
When you're tired, remember you still have me.
That's my girl.
What's wrong with me? This is embarrassing.
I swore to myself that I wouldn't cry before re-establishing Zen Corporation.
You don't need to be so hard on yourself.
I'm not the same as you.
All right, all right.
Let me know when you have a wedding date.
I'll do my best to come back and attend.
Mom.
Take care of yourself when I'm not around.
You too.
Ma'am, are we going home?
- No. Take me to An Qing Huan. - All right.
An Qing Huan. An Qing Huan!
Your stuff is here. So heavy. There's still more, get it yourself.
Okay, you can put that inside. Take this.
- Put it in the storage room, thanks. - Got it, no problem.
Long time no see. Though, I've been following you.
I heard you opened a fancy bakery
so I decided to come pay you a visit.
Sorry, I've been really busy, so I haven't been following you.
But I heard...
you were arrested recently and put in jail.
I simply went to help with their investigation.
Tang Xiao Gang was the one who did everything
but I was also affected.
Zen Corporation dismissed me from the board.
If it weren't for this incident
I wouldn't have understood how fickle people can be.
I received a lot of anonymous parcels while I was under investigation.
They were just common, everyday necessities...
but in those circumstances, they were the only things that made me happy.
If I'm not mistaken, those parcels were sent by you, right?
Sometimes I wonder what all the struggling and competing
over the last 10, 20 years was for.
But you understand me.
- I refuse to lose like this. - Did you come here to reminisce?
No. I've sold my Zen Corporation shares.
I want to take one last gamble.
But I'm not gambling on myself.
It's you.
This is my investment for the next couple years in your business.
I've arranged for you to join the entrance exams next month
for Le Cordon Bleu in France.
If you manage to get in, then I will cover
your first year tuition and living expenses.
But my condition is that when you graduate
you have to qualify for the annual National Chef of the Year competition.
If you can manage that, when you come back home
I'll help you establish Qing Huan Culinary Group.
I don't understand why you want to invest in me.
Because I despise you.
I despise you even now.
Your obstinance and inability to accept loss really drive me crazy.
But I'm a businesswoman.
This, you have to learn from me. Emotions get in the way of things.
Achieving what you want to do is the most important.
I'm not the same as you.
I don't want to become another you. I have my own dreams.
Dreams?
Are you still mooning over Ding Ren Jian?
Do you fancy your relationship to be some kind of love epic?
Then let me ask you this. Do you know what he's doing right at this moment?
Seems like you have no clue.
Okay. I'm going to take you to go see something.
Afterwards, you can decide whether or not you want to leave with me tonight.
Ding Ren Jian, what do you think you're doing?
You want to give your ex-wife a wedding, is that it?
What do you take An Qing Huan for?
This isn't a real wedding, it's just a show.
I promised Lin Yue.
I promised that before she died, I'd propose to her again
take wedding photos, and give her a ring.
How can I refuse such a small request from someone on the brink of death?
Ding Ren Jian.
You're really something.
You're rich now, huh? You think you can fulfill someone's dreams with money?
Do you have any idea what An Qing Huan wants?
I don't want to discuss this right now. I just want to get this over with.
I believe that Qing Huan will understand.
Then allow me to inform you.
She will not.
It's done.
- What have you brought me here for? - You'll know soon.
Lin Yue.
For better or for worse, in sickness or in health...
for richer, for poorer... I will always be by your side.
I will always love you.
Will you marry me?
Listen. We're still us. She and I are a different story.
I'm just accompanying her for the last of her days.
I won't do anything to betray you.
Yes.
Go.
Qing Huan.
It's not what you think. I'm just fulfilling Lin Yue's last wish.
Can you understand me?
If it's not what I think, then what is it?
I'm trying to understand you.
Qing Huan.
Don't touch me right now.
I won't.
You said you were still here and you'd wait for me, right?
I need to be alone to think.
- Qing Huan! - Hold on, President Ding.
I'd like to ask what exactly is waiting for Qing Huan.
A husband who gets busier and busier...
A businessman who becomes more and more successful...
or a man who can give her a life of luxury?
How is that different from what I gave her in the past?
I know her better than you do.
What I can do for her now
is give her the opportunity to become what she can be.
I've already bought her a ticket to France
and arranged for her to take Le Cordon Bleu's entrance exam.
In one year, she will become even more brilliant than I used to be.
If you believe in her, you should let her go.
You struggle together, but you don't necessarily succeed together.
Do you not think the two of you are holding each other back in your careers?
Do you love her?
Then learn to let go.
That is the best and most appropriate choice right now.
We've taken wedding photos and had a wedding.
I have my ring.
I'm sure Ding will take care of Man Yi.
Everything is done.
Mommy!
Mommy, what's wrong?
Mommy, Mommy! What's wrong?
Mommy! Mommy!
What's wrong? Mommy!
Mommy! What's going on? Mommy!
Mommy! What's wrong with you?
Ren Jian, don't worry.
I've already made arrangements for Lin Yue's funeral.
I dropped Man Yi off with your father.
I'm going to go first.
You're still waiting?
You have to believe that your decision is the right one.
You go first. I'll come and find you later.
All right then. Don't be too long.
Ding Ren Jian!
What are you doing here?
Don't you know Qing Huan's flight is about to take off?
- You can take it from here. I'm off. - Thanks.
- Qing Huan, where are you? - Turn around.
Don't come over.
If you come too close, I'm going to lose my willpower.
I won't be able to leave.
Ding Ren Jian, you're drifting farther and farther away.
When I first met you, you wore discounted suits
and drove domestic cars with no air conditioning.
You'd use coupons to buy discounted meals.
But you were filled with satisfaction and happiness then.
You're really busy now.
Your days are filled with meetings and negotiations.
Red carpets, exclusive interviews.
Your mind is filled with ambition
yet you constantly talk about responsibility.
Sometimes when I look at you, I feel like I don't know you anymore.
I think I've fallen in love with a stranger.
I can't accept that.
Things have been hard lately. I can't keep up with you.
I can't help you anymore. Your world is very far away from mine.
I'm still right where I was.
I'm sorry, Qing Huan.
I neglected your feelings.
Actually... I came to send you off.
I'm really sorry that between you and Lin Yue
I still ended up choosing her.
After all, we spent many years together
and there's also Man Yi.
There was too much between us that I couldn't ignore.
Without me, she had nothing left.
But you're different.
You're smart and capable.
The kind of girl...
who stands up no matter how many times she falls.
Take care of yourself. Goodbye.
- Things are going great. - Yes, yes.
- Take care. - Will do.
Nice to meet you!
President Li! Congratulations.
Hello there.
Hey, Old Li. Have you seen Ding?
But... the ceremony is waiting for him. Where is he?
Hurry and find him.
Okay.
President Li!
[Letter of Resignation]
Dear colleagues.
I'm writing this from a position of deep gratitude.
I plan to resign from RJZC Space's management and directorial board.
I've somehow lived amongst the constant expansion
and endeavors of the company for a whole year now.
This has been the best year of my life.
Together, we witnessed and took part in RJZC Space
from its infancy to its rise into the ranks of the Chinese internet market.
I'm incredibly proud.
I'm not a very well-rounded person.
Leadership isn't my strong suit.
In the early days of the company, we only had 50 people.
It reminded me of being the building supervisor
in my old apartment building.
But in the last year, we've grown exponentially.
We are now at 2,000 employees and growing.
I know deep down that what the company needs now isn't a building supervisor
or an imposing leader with too much seniority.
What it needs now is someone well-rounded
who can take the company to even higher levels.
I've shared these thoughts with President Shi before.
Six months ago, I set out to search and train
and finally found the right person to do my job
so that I can go and experience a different life.
A life that I've wanted for a very long time.
I believe that when I leave the office today
I will feel that a huge burden has been lifted from me.
Miss An Qing Huan, is it true that
Qin Zhen of Zen Corporation has invested in Qing Huan Culinary Group?
That is confidential information. No comment.
What can we expect next from Qing Huan Culinary Group?
We will be revealing that at a future press conference.
Excuse us, we really have to go.
- Passing through! - When is the press conference?
- Ms. An Qing Huan-- - Mr. Zhai Zhi Wei--
Have you come back to expand in China?
President Li.
Young Mistress An, finally come back, have you?
You barely called me in the last year. Did you even miss me?
I've been busy.
I wanted to graduate from Le Cordon Bleu as quickly as I could.
Time doesn't wait. My dear Zhu Gan, you've become a success.
I still have a long way to go.
I heard about you a lot on the news over here.
What's the deal, young and beautiful CEO?
Forget that. Hey, let's eat hotpot tonight.
- France didn't have any good places. - Of course!
Same place, all right?
Hotshot celebrity, let's take a picture. Here, group photo!
One, two, three.
How is it? All your favorites are here.
Let's just not wait for him.
He's so famous now, he's probably being hounded by fans.
Come on, let's eat first.
Have some meat.
An Qing Huan.
I want to ask you...
Are you really great at hiding your feelings
or have you just completely forgotten him?
Go on and say whatever you want to say.
Don't put on an act. You know who I'm talking about.
Don't you want to know how he's been lately?
Ding Ren Jian?
Is he well?
Here, take a look.
After leaving my position
I'll be teaching in RJZC Space's grand lecture hall.
I plan on training young potentials
the company's technical concepts and business practices.
So my decision to retire isn't a last minute escape.
It's because my real interest lies in helping the company
by teaching the minds of the future. That has always been my dream.
So, what do you think?
I've always respected his decisions.
That's it?
No, but the rest is a secret. I can't tell you.
When are you going to marry Dong Jia Xin?
- It's been so long! - After this. Likely next week.
You have to come!
I can't... I have to go back to France next week.
There's a Michelin-star competition.
I can't go.
But don't worry, I'll send you something awesome.
I'm fine.
I'm waiting for your Michelin star restaurant so I can brag about it.
But some people are probably going to be disappointed.
You mean him?
Ding never let me tell you, but I really can't keep it in anymore.
I have to tell you.
Lin Yue died the day you left.
He let you leave for Europe because he knew it would help your career.
- He never-- - Enough, enough.
I believe everything you say. But the important thing is he let me go.
True.
The god of destiny makes fools of people.
You're here!
Who's destiny making a fool of?
How do you turn up just at the right time?
Right when the meat is all ready.
- Here, eat up. - Thanks.
- Why are you using my sauce? - I don't have any.
Waiter, bring us some garlic sauce! And three beers!
Coming right up!
Eat this first, this is good.
Actually... I came to send you off.
I'm really sorry that between you and Lin Yue...
I still ended up choosing her.
After all, we spent many years together and there's also Man Yi.
There was too much between us that I couldn't ignore.
Without me, she had nothing left.
But you're different.
You're smart and capable.
The kind of girl who stands up no matter how many times she falls.
- Eat up, eat up! - Thanks.
- Mr. Ding, can we ask you a question? - Sure.
We just wanted to know if you had a girlfriend.
I do! And she's prettier than all of you.
- All right then... - I've got a call. See you.
Zhu Gan.
Coming. I'll be right there.
Son, why did you have me dress up and bring me here today?
Mom, think. Whose wedding is it?
Wedding?
Jia Xin's!
Jia Xin and your wedding, right?
You should have told me earlier! I would've brought a huge gift!
Mom, you're so eager to get rid of your son.
I plan to spend the rest of my life by your side.
No, that's not going to work! I'm waiting for a grandson, you know.
Considering how attractive I am, you'll have your grandson in no time.
Let's hurry and go in. We don't want to keep Jia Xin waiting.
Mom, don't rush.
Jia Xin isn't marrying me. And I'm not marrying her either.
Son...
You're not marrying Jia Xin?
Don't worry, Mom. I'll bring you a wonderful daughter-in-law.
But before then, the happiest thing for me is spending time with you.
Let's go.
- The guest book, right? - Yes.
[An Qing Huan]
Have you forgotten how to write your own name?
Isn't your flight today?
I thought you'd already left.
I had to give Zhu Gan his wedding gift in person.
So I pushed my flight back.
And?
And also, I had to say goodbye to you.
- Okay. - Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Ding Ren Jian.
- Did you drive here? - Yes.
Zhu Gan says it's hard to get a cab here.
- Can you take me? - Yes, yes.
- We're not attending the wedding? - Ding Ren Jian!
Did you bring a gift?
- Yes, here. - Hurry.
Hey, that's mine.
All right, we don't need you here anymore. Go, go.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Hurry up! - Congratulations.
There's hope.
Your car hasn't changed much.
My legs can stretch out now.
I went to the shop and had them move the seat back.
So you're into long-legged women, huh?
Who knows if I'll meet another long-legged, pretty lady
who's determined to sit in my car.
What's wrong?
- Uh... - You want me to drive you?
My fees are high.
You fixed the air conditioner.
You won't need those battery-powered fans anymore.
I not only have a fan, I also have this.
What if I meet a girl who gets cold in the winter
and sweats like crazy in the summer?
You're a teacher now.
You must be surrounded by young, ambitious girls.
I doubt you'd have time to pick up women.
That's a serious morality issue.
A good teacher should never be into his female students like that.
So they can be into young female entrepreneurs, then?
Don't listen to Zhu Gan's nonsense.
He didn't say anything.
One day, I ran into Zhai Zhi Wei in France and he told me.
He's slandering me!
Young female entrepreneur, my butt.
If you added all 5 of their ages, you'd get 300.
Man Yi did that. I told him not to stick those things everywhere.
Just in case... Auntie Qing Huan has a new boyfriend.
What are you doing?
I need to pee.
Then go!
Hold on. Why are you wearing my sunglasses?
Mom doesn't let me watch any scandalous stuff on TV.
She makes me wear sunglasses every time one of those scenes shows up.
You take it. Take it, take it.
This is you. I'm going to make you disappear in three minutes!
All right, then this is you.
I'm going to make you disappear in two minutes.
One, two, three. Start!
I don't hate you.
Victims are the ones who get upset.
So I don't hate you. You hate me.
You...
- You and Zhai Zhi Wei-- - We're here.
You can let me off at the international terminal.
Do you have anything to say to me?
- I... - I'm going then.
Qing Huan!
I took the time to drive you here. You could at least say goodbye.
Where are your manners?
When did you become someone who cares about manners?
But when are you coming back?
Let me know when you come back! I'll pick you up!
Excuse me, sir, but you can't park here.
It's just for a second!
This is a loading zone, you can't stop your car.
- It's an emergency! - It always is.
People have flights to catch. Please cooperate.
No, I'm not catching a flight. I can't let my girlfriend get on hers!
If she leaves, she's not coming back!
My girlfriend!
What's your problem?
Why are you running people over?
I'm trying to catch a flight, you ass!
Ding Ren Jian.
I didn't know you'd become so hardcore.
Aren't you being too cruel?
Leaving without even saying farewell.
Because I never planned on saying farewell.
Hello, my name is An Qing Huan.
Ding Ren Jian. Nice to meet you.
An Qing Huan. It's a pleasure.
Hello. I'm Ding Ren Jian.
[In Life and Love]
