- Episode 13 -
Once the lights cast on it, many different colors are reflected.
Lead Embroiderer Xu, you are indeed very knowledgeable.
You are very young. It's impossible for you to know so many tricks.
You just mentioned your teacher. Who is she?
No matter what, don't mention me to the competitor.
I...
I read this in a magazine and I took note of it.
Please talk about your design concept.
I read your interviews and autobiography.
A few years ago, because you acted in films of varying qualities, you gained the title of "Empress of Bad Films."
More recently, you were tagged as "ambitious" and "flirtatious."
In actuality, people don't know that you are forced to appear like this to earn money for your family.
Thus, this time, you wanted to wear a traditional dress to walk on the red carpet. It's not to gain attention.
Moreover, it's...
I want to tell everyone that I, away from the spotlights,
am only an ordinary woman who can get tired.
People say that cheongsams are so soft they can melt into your bones.
Looking at this dress, I can feel a quote embroidered onto it.
"An ugly duckling has turned into a swan."
Its outer appearance is dazzling, but it actually hides unknown heartache.
Zhang Guo Guo.
Sister, why did you slap me?
Why did I hit you? Don't you know what you did?
I know. I'm obstructing your path. This is what you meant, right?
Isn't this so?
Sister, if you want to win the competition, you must depend on your abilities.
You won't win this way.
Are you looking down on me, too?
Do you know how much I did just to get this opportunity?
I was extremely cautious in front of everyone.
If I was from a rich family, would I need to live such a tough life?
What's even more hateful is that she raised you, a wild child from the streets.
You were born to obstruct my path and ruin everything for me.
Even if you don't want this family or acknowledge Mom and I,
you don't need to use such words to scold me.
Look at me.
Then, look at yourself. Who should feel more sorry towards Mom?
Just because of your attitude, Mom shouldn't be so worried about you.
You sure know your place. You know that you only deserve to be a poor family's child.
Go home, then. Go home to that wonton shop and live forever with that poor woman.
Why did you learn embroidery? Why did you come to Zhenhu?
I don't care.
Withdraw from the competition now.
From young till now, I have always given way to you
but not for this. If you still create a scene,
I will tell the whole world that you are my older sister.
Yu Xin!
Teacher.
What's going on? Didn't you say that she was going to withdraw?
In the end, not only did she not withdraw, her dress was not bad, either.
Even Lisa Wu is interested in her now.
Teacher, I'm very sorry. Maybe a mistake happened somewhere in the process.
Please don't worry. I will think of a solution.
Enough!
We are really going to lose this time.
The student of Golden Thread Embroidery even lost to a nobody.
We will definitely become a laughing stock!
Those who don't like me can kick up a big fuss now.
Why did I allow you to partake in this competition under the name of my apprentice?
Teacher, I'm really very sorry. I will definitely think of a way to salvage this.
Don't worry. I will definitely let Lisa Wu wear your dress.
Take note of what Miss Lisa Wu needs. If there is anything important, you can find me. Okay?
Okay.
Director Li, did you see Miss Lisa Wu?
Lisa Wu? She should be in the rest lounge.
What should I do? My dress...
Don't panic first. I have already persuaded her. She's going to try the dresses and make a decision later.
Really? She agreed to wear my cheongsam?
Not at the moment, but don't worry. She needs to follow the contract and try the cheongsams first.
I don't know why, but I have confidence that once she wears your dress, she will definitely choose the clear-cut choice.
Thank you, Director Li.
Thank you.
Looks like that brat really went to Zhenhu.
Could she have caused trouble to Yu Xin? No good.
I'm going to call Yu Xin and tell her.
Hello. The number you have dialed is powered off.
Why did she switch off her phone?
Hello.
Are you here to have wontons? Come, take a seat.
Okay.
Do you want three-treasure wontons or shepherd's purse wontons?
Either are fine.
Okay, please wait.
Yu Xin, why did you switch off the phone? How's the situation there?
I'm worried to death, Daughter. Return my call when you hear my message.
Aunt.
What are you doing?
Who were you leaving a message for?
None of your business.
The Yu Xin you mentioned just now, is it Zhang Yu Xin?
I--I don't know what you are talking about.
What are you doing in the kitchen?
No one else can enter here!
Aunt, you must be her mother!
I'm not her mother!
Aunt, listen to me. My name is Lu Si Shen. I'm Yu Xin's--
This is Xiping's dialect. You could have heard wrongly. I didn't say "Yu Xin."
Do you know this photo?
This is when she was young. I believe this person must be you when you were young.
This... When I see
little and cute girls, I hug them and take pictures. What's wrong with that?
Aunt, stop lying to me. I need to find her. You must know where she is. If I don't find her soon, it will be too late.
- Are you here to create a scene? - I...
- Aunt... - I'm going to teach you a lesson.
Aunt!

People depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles. A dog with bells runs the happiest.
Stop it.
You are a lawyer, yet you could say something like that.
Could I have been infected by Miss Ramen-Head? Lately, my words have been so vulgar.
Miss Zhang's cheongsam is modest yet luxurious. It accentuates a person's inner grandeur.
Her cheongsam is not merely a piece of cloth. It's like a story.
Or... it's like a song. A song that is flowing out from my heart.
When I'm wearing Black Swan, it seems like I can hear the song in my heart.
I wonder if the audience could hear it, too.
Miss Wu, since you are done trying, please change to the other dress.
Do you see that? Her face fell. She's clearly not as happy as when wearing your dress.
Trust me, you have big chance this time. She will definitely choose your dress.
The work by Golden Thread Embroidery is elegant and beautiful.
It clearly reflects the aura of an empress.
Miss Wu, you have already tried both. Can you tell us which dress you prefer now?
I like Miss Zhang's Black Swan dress very much
but for this red carpet for the Film Festival, I have decided on
Golden Thread Embroidery's creation.
Why didn't you choose the Black Swan dress?
Miss Zhang's cheongsam is too artistic, and I have a bold personality.
It's not very suitable for the red carpet of the International Film Festival, but I really like Black Swan.
I would like to purchase it for a high price. Miss Zhang, please fulfill my wish.
How could this happen? Didn't she like Black Swan very much?
Couldn't she hear the song in her heart?
Was she just comforting me for being the loser?
♫ Every time we make eye contact ♫
Ramen-Head.
What's wrong? Are you sad?
I'm still okay. It's just that Teacher
has put in so much effort. She must be very sad.
It's already at this stage and you are still thinking of others.
You think you are the female lead in a Korean drama?
Why are you pursing your lips? What's wrong? Do you want to kiss me?
Come, give me a kiss.
Is this how you comfort someone?
♫ Don’t let our destined relationship be separated again ♫
Wait for me.
Will you really attend the red carpet wearing a dress made from goose feathers of a marketplace?
I have seen and worn lots of dresses from major labels.
Zhang Guo Guo's Black Swan
to me, is very extraordinary. She customized it for me.
I didn't expect your heart to be touched by such a minor matter. It's okay.
I have a reason which can change your mind.
Golden Thread Embroidery didn't create the dress exclusively for you.
It was created for you
and the baby in your belly.
What do you mean?
When I went to visit you last time, I found that you are taking iron and folic acid pills.
Your anemia must be very serious. You should watch your health.
You are in your first semester of pregnancy.
When it's time for the Film Festival, it will be very obvious that you are pregnant.
I was too careless.
Name your price.
That small sum of money won't satisfy my appetite.
What do you want?
If I guessed correctly, there is a clause in your advertising contract which forbid pregnancies.
Once your pregnancy has been exposed, you only have two choices.
One: pay a huge penalty.
Second: abort your baby.
Looks like you care about this baby very much.
Are you really going to destroy your life just because of a dress?
You must be the second son of the Strong Group, right?
You clearly like Zhang Guo Guo's Black Swan
but you chose the other dress.
I don't know what commercial interests influenced you to make this decision against your own conscience,
but I guarantee that you will regret it one day.
How are you related to Zhang Guo Guo? Why are you coming forward for her?
A dress, to someone like you,
will only be shown at the red carpet once.
But do you know what it means to the designer?
Each stitch and thread is their blood and toil.
To make this dress, Zhang Guo Guo was kicked out from her home by her mother.
What about you? What was your repayment to her?
Is that the situation?
I already said that I would buy the Black Swan dress.
I'm not talking to you about the purchase now.
Did you make a secretive deal with my older brother or...
you were caught in a bind by someone?
You know, playing tricks in a competition like this
has legal consequences.
Right, I forgot to tell you. I'm a lawyer.
I hope you remember the words you just said with no sense of guilt.
I will reserve my right to appeal this case to court.
Miss Lisa, Black Swan has been prepared, but we can't find Miss Zhang Guo Guo.
You don't have the right to wear this dress.
Hey, wait!
Miss Lisa.
I didn't expect that you could find a way to let Miss Lisa Wu choose your dress.
You did well this time.
I should thank you for taking care of me.
But Lisa Wu was clearly leaning towards the dress by Zhang Guo Guo.
How did you make her change her heart?
Actually I didn't do much. I just told her I have a very formidable teacher.
Lisa is not stupid. How could she give up Golden Thread Embroidery's dress
for a dress made by a nobody?
No wonder I find Zhang Guo Guo very familiar.
Now that you mention it, I remembered.
Wasn't she the one who created a fuss and took photos of us at your graduation?
Is that so? I can't remember.
Find a way for me to contact her.
Teacher, do you need something from her?
That girl is a little wild,
but she is surprisingly talented at embroidery. She's a promising talent.
If she can also be my apprentice,
in the future, Golden Thread Embroidery will advance even further.
I did so much for you and you are still going to accept another student?
It's even Zhang Guo Guo.
Yu Xin.
I'm fine.
Move, move, move.
Make a way.
What happened?
It's allergic shock. She's allergic to pine nuts.
I don't know where she touched pine nuts.
Allergic shock? Is it very serious?
Of course. Her life may be in danger.
Yu Xin. It can't be that you...?
What's going on?
I know about the material, dyes and threads for the dress.
Did you do something to it behind my back?
I didn't. I heard that Lisa Wu likes the fragrance of pine trees.
That's why I squeezed out some juice from the pine leaves and pine nuts in the morning
and sprayed some on the dress. I thought it would emit a light fragrance of pine.
You only heard about it? Did you confirm it?
I read about this in the magazine too.
Moreover, I only just sprayed a bit. I didn't expect this to happen to her.
No matter how little it is, to someone who is allergic, it's toxic.
You don't even understand such basic concepts, yet you took it upon yourself to randomly add materials!
You are more of a failure than a success! You should just give up on embroidery!
Teacher, I apologize.
I just wanted to do the best and make you happy!
How can I be happy if something happened to Wu Lisa?
If people knew that the clothes I made caused her to--
No, this is made by you. It has nothing to do with me.
If something good happens, you stand in front. When something bad happens, you use me as the shield.
No, now's not the time to turn against her.
Teacher, I know.
Don't worry. I will take care of it.
Zhang Guo Guo!
Where are you going?
Home. Where else?
By the way, should I congratulate you?
What for?
Congratulations for winning in a fair fight. You deserved it.
Do you think I'm still angry with you over the competition?
You probably still don't know? You caused huge trouble.
What is it?
Lisa Wu has been hospitalized.
What?! Why?
She has an allergic shock.
Allergy? Why is that? She was fine.
Lisa Wu is allergic to birds,
yet you used goose feathers. Anyhow, you're doomed now.
But I disinfected those feathers. Furthermore, I washed it very thoroughly.
Do you know what an allergy is?
You live such a crude and poor life. You don't understand the rich man's disease.
These allergens can kill. It's dangerous once it touches you skin.
So what are you going to do now?
What can I do? I'll go to the hospital to see her.
Hey!
What's the point of going now? They'll demand compensation. Can you afford it?
What if Lisa Wu's bodyguards give you a good beating,
sue you, and then put you in prison for life?
Then what will I do?
It's okay. Don't be too afraid.
You think I will actually let you go to jail? If you did, who will take care of Mom?
Relax, I took care of everything.
Really? How?
I haven't been working for nothing these years.
Teacher is highly respected in Golden Thread Embroidery. She also helped a lot.
In any case, you won't go to jail now.
Sister, you're awesome.
Remember not to cause any major problems for me again in the future.
Although this issue was suppressed, you can't bring it up in public.
Don't meet the judges and Lisa Wu again.
Okay.
Sister, even though you are usually mean toward me and Mom
I know you care about us the most, right?
Enough. I'm happy if you don't cause problems for me.
Stop smiling. Hurry and go home.
Then I'll go.
Go.
Take care.
Leave.
Trying to play with me?
Director Li,
I found the scapegoat.
Really?
Just push all the blame toward her.
But you must not say anything about this and don't let media report it.
Why?
This way, this girl will never know she's the scapegoat.
Don't worry. The collaboration between Golden Thread Embroidery and Strong Group won't be affected.
Good job.
Okay.

Why isn't there any news from Guo Guo?
If there are good news, she would call.
Did she lose to Golden Thread Embroidery?
Zhang Guo Guo, you were too overconfident.
You almost hurt Lisa Wu. If she had died, what will you do?
Hey. Why did you...?
Why did you not tell me you're leaving? I was looking for you everywhere.
Why are you following me around? You just want to see me embarrass myself, right?
Why do you think so lowly of me? How could I watch you embarrass yourself? It's because...
It's because you dropped your wallet in my car. I was afraid you don't have the money to go home.
That's why I specially came to drive you back. I'm also reluctant to drive you, yet you insult me.
Whatever.
Hey, tell me the truth.
Are you avoiding my car as an excuse? Are you wanting to cry on your way back?
What is there to cry about? Don't you see me waiting for a bus?
Why bus? My car is more comfortable than the bus. It's so crowded.
If you think I drive too fast, I won't play Fast & Furious with you. I'll drive slowly.
I promise you'll be as comfortable as a baby in a crib, okay?
Leave. Hurry.
- Stop wasting your breath here.- Let me take a call.
Hello? Dad?
♫ like it’s a miracle ♫
I can't. I have something to do.
♫ You silently stood there, ♫
Okay, okay. I'll go back now.
Hey, my dad needs me. I must go back. Go wait for me in the park up front. You mustn't leave.
If you leave, I'm not giving this dress back, okay?
- Wait for me!- Li Yun Kai!
Wait for me!
♫ Only want to slowly come closer ♫
My wallet!
Fortunately, she was saved on time. She has already been discharged.
Exactly what happened?
That's right.
Dad, after all, it's bad news.
We should keep a low profile and not let the media know.
Even if we catch the culprit and hand her over to the law,
ultimately, our company will still be at the losing end.
Yes, we should press it down. Don't talk about this again in the future.
Talking about this now, I should be blamed for letting an inexperienced person join the competition.
Even though it's important to have a fair and transparent competition,
inexperienced country bumpkins will cause trouble, nonetheless.
I had hoped to have see new creations,
but I didn't think I would encounter a rookie who couldn't tell the difference between toxic materials.
Yun Zhe, you did a good job taking care of this matter. I will remember this.
Dad, why did you call me here? I'm in a rush to go back.
Why such a rush? You rarely come back.
As a family, we'll eat dinner tonight.
I can't eat dinner tonight. Somebody's waiting for me.
Who?
You have an appointment with that troublemaker, Zhang Guo Guo, right?
My parents gave birth to me, but my brother truly understands me.
You are not even having a meal with your own family
because of a brat from an unknown background. You are really something.
Yun Zhe, take away his car keys and wallet.
If he has the guts, he can walk back!
Hey, behave. Here.
You can't touch this!
Dad, this isn't yours. You don't have the right to take it away.
You now dare to separate between yours and mine?
If you have the guts, starting now, don't spend any of my money!
Hey--
Do you want to anger me to death?
Can I keep the shoes?
Get lost!
What day is today? There is even a cake.
The dress that Teacher helped me make was chosen by Lisa Wu as her red carpet attire at International Film Festival.
You still let Yu Xin take part in a commercial event?
- Mom. It's just a cheongsam. It's not a big deal.- Mom.
Mom.
I know where Sister-in-Law is.
Did you contact her? Did you see her?
Not yet.
But I heard from Brother Hai Song that he met her in Xiping awhile ago.
Zhi Ming, bring her back now.
Mom. Sister-in-law lost Yi Bei and you still allow her to come home?
Whether she's coming back or not is another matter.
If we see Sister-in-Law, we will be able to find out the truth.
Yes.
I'm going now.
Professor Jin. It's late today. We can talk about this tomorrow.
It wasn't easy to know the whereabouts of my sister-in-law.
I will be able to obtain news about Yi Bei. How could I wait?
We have already waited for twenty years. A few hours won't make a difference.
If you leave now, Mom won't be able to eat properly.
Let's eat now. I will go with you after the meal.
Let's eat.
What happened? Why are you so flustered?
Li Hai Song met Song Xiu Hua in Xiping. Zhi Ming is going to look for her.
What? This is bad.
What if Song Xiu Hua tells the truth? Zhi Ming will never let us off.
Not only that. Song Xiu Hua is Li Hai Song's
younger sister-in-law. What if Li Hai Song intentionally protects her?
There really is unrest in this family.
What's wrong?
I clearly heard a sound.
There is no one here. You must be too nervous.
The person who went missing for twelve years suddenly showed up. How could I not be nervous?
I'm going with Zhi Ming.
I must not let him meet Song Xiu Hua.
Didn't I tell you not to contact me?
What if you cause trouble for me?
Yu Xin, I'm sorry.
Today, a young man came to the shop,
yelling about searching for you. I was afraid something happened, so I called.
Searching for me?
What does he look like?
Aiyo, he looks pretty delicate.
About your age.
He also had a childhood picture of me holding you.
Lu Si Chen?
Yes! That's the name.
Yu Xin, who is he? What exactly happened?
I just dumped him, and he's unsatisfied.
Aiyo, meeting clingy and stupid men is the worst.
Our Yu Xin is pretty, so it's inevitable you'd meet people like him.
Yu Xin, if he continues to bully or bug you, I'll beat him to death.
Alright. I don't need you to teach me.
If he comes to our shop again,
tell him you don't know me. If he continues bugging you,
beat him until he leaves.
Aiya, what time is it? That jerk is still not here.
As expected, a liar can't be trusted.
She's so pretty, but her temper is so bad.
This courtyard is so pretty.
I think I've seen it somewhere before.
How is it possible for me to see it before? It must have been in my dreams.
Why is that jerk still not here?
Aiya, I'm so hungry.
If I could eat a bowl of my mom's wontons right now, that'd be so great.
Zhang Guo Guo, you're really going to become homeless.
Mister, you're not fully dressed. It's hurting our park's image.
I'm sorry, sir. I really want to wear clothes, but I don't have any.
I'm looking for someone. I'll leave soon.
Hey, don't leave.
Come with me to the security office.
What? I'm looking for someone! Where are you taking me?
I've told you so many times: you can't buy tickets after arriving in Xiping. Hurry and leave.
- Hurry.- Sir, please. Just give me a ride.
If you don't give me a ride, I'll have to sleep on the streets in Zhenhu.
How many times do I have to tell you? You can't do that. Hurry and leave.
There are tickets!
Here, sir. Guo Guo, our tickets are here.
So you have tickets. Look at how anxious your girlfriend was.
- Hurry, hurry. - I'm not his girlfriend.
Why are you dressed like this?
Sorry about that.
- Where's my wallet?- Huh?
- My wallet!- Oh, wallet.
Here.
Where's the money inside?
I bought the tickets! What money?
You're so stingy. The money you brought was only enough to buy two tickets.
I didn't even have enough money to buy fried pork chops.
Why must you buy two tickets?
Why not? There are two of us, so we need two tickets!
Don't you have a car?
What nonsense. Driving takes gas, and gas costs money.
You stingy rooster.
I say! If I hadn't bought the tickets, would you have made it to this last bus?
I should at least get credit for my manual labor.
Don't try to get credit for this. If wasn't because of you, I wouldn't be stuck here.
So hungry. I really want a bowl of my mom's wontons.
Hungry, right? I don't have wontons,
and there's no money for fried pork chops.
I bought rice balls for you, but we have to split it.
Here, there's even pork floss inside.
Eat slowly! Don't choke.
Are... Are you really choking?
I was just joking. Don't play along with me, okay? Hurry and drink water.
It's okay. My aunt says
if you pick it up within three seconds of touching the ground, you can still eat it. Here, continue eating.
I'm not eating that.
Hey, then I...
It wasn't three seconds yet.
It should be nearby here.
Did Chairman Li not give you Sister-in-Law's exact address?
No. If we find the wonton shop where they met,
and ask around, we'll know.
What's wrong? Let's get out of the car.
We've waited so many years. Now that we know Sister-in-Law's whereabouts,
we are finally one step closer to finding Yi Bei.
I'm very excited, but I'm afraid of disappointment.
Hui Jie, I am also nervous.
When we find Sister-in-Law and learn the truth,
I won't forgive the person who lost Yi Bei.
The wontons are all sold out. Only leftover rice and vegetables are left. I'll make fried rice for you.
Anything is fine. Hurry up. I'm about to starve to death.
No wonder you're a lawyer. You're only good at talking.
Do you not think I'm hungry?
Try it out. It's definitely better than wontons.
You cooked it. Could it be good? I have very high standards.
If you don't want to eat it, fine. I'm hungry myself, too.
Hey! I didn't say I'm not eating. I'll try it first.
Hey! Did you die of hunger in your last life? Leave some for me!
Let go. I'm still hungry.
Leave some for me! How about this?
We'll take turns eating. You have one bite, and I'll have one bite. Okay?
- Fine, fine. I'll go first.- You already ate! My turn.
Okay, okay. My turn. You already had one bite!
Your turn.
- Don't you think that's cheating?- What will you do about it, then?
That's cheating! Didn't you say it'd be fair?
So what?
Since the rice is almost gone,
how about we eat with chopsticks?
Hey! It's my turn.
Hurry.
