Don't wake up Le Tong.
Let's just stay like this. A few minutes will be enough.

♫ our meeting ♫
Grandma, sit.
Mom, why don't you sit and eat breakfast?
Yu Xin, what's wrong with your hand?
When I was cooking this morning, I burned my hand. It's fine.
Grandma, here's your breakfast. Sit down and eat.
You don't need to address me like that. I can't stand it.
Teacher Xie.
Is there a problem, Grand Lead Embroiderer?
Cook me a bowl of noddles and send it upstairs.
Yes.
I'm not hungry, either. There is an exhibition today. Get ready, we'll leave in a bit.
I understand.
Yu Xin, why are you here? What if someone sees you?
What if someone sees?
I haven't seen you recently. You've gotten thinner.
Don't talk about that.
The place where we met first Zhang Guo Guo...
The place of the car accident. Where was that?
It was on the road around Jiangling. Why?
Jiangling? So it really was Jiangling.
That's right.
Mom, between me and Zhang Guo Guo, who would you choose?
I would choose you, you're my biological daughter.
Then, listen to me: Take Zhang Guo Guo and leave. Never come back here again.
Don't meet any of the Jin family again in the future.
Aiya! We just moved here recently. Where are we going to go?
Teacher, we have really good luck. We cured Le Tong's ear so quickly.
It was the right decision to come to Zhenhu.
When you first decided to raise Le Tong, I was a bit worried.
Seeing how close you two are now, I'm not worried any more.
When we first found her, I felt my heart soften because she reminded me of when I was younger.
What's wrong? Did something happen to you when you were younger?
I was also adopted.
You were adopted?
Yeah. Teacher, please keep this a secret.
Guo Guo, how did you find out? Who told you?
I accidentally heard Mom mention it on the phone. When I asked her, she denied it.
I think she's afraid that I may be sad. My mom is the greatest woman in this world.
I'm going back to the shop. You can go home first.
Okay.
- Come back home early, Teacher.- I know.
I worked so hard to become Golden Thread Embroidery's daughter. Because of Zhang Guo Guo, it'll all go to waste.
Mom.
- Guo Guo? - Sister. - I'm not your sister.
Don't you know what you did to me? You must be extremely happy.
Zhang Yu Xin!
After all these years, you still haven't changed your bad habit of hitting others? Doesn't your hand hurt?
Can't you two sisters talk without fighting?!
Mom! It's not like you don't know what she did to me!
Zhang Yu Xin?
What is your relationship with this family?
Didn't you say you didn't know them? Why are you here so early in the morning?
The situation's like this: My daughter Zhang Guo Guo made her angry, so I called her here to apologize.
Mom! It's not like that. I'm going to tell them the truth today.
Me too. I don't want to deceive them any more.
Zhang Yu Xin, if you have a conscience, then tell the truth.
Are you biological sisters?
No. I did live with them in Xiping for a while;
however, we have no blood relations.
Sister! This is your so-called truth?
Since you lived together before, then why did you tell us that you didn't know them?
That's because... I didn't want to think about the past.
My childhood is just like a thorn. I don't want to remember it.
Sister, Mom gave you all the good food and drinks to raise you.
How can you say this? Do you not have a conscience?
Aiya, stop talking nonsense!
My daughter was sick when she was young, so she has a problem with her brain. I'm sorry.
- Mom! Zhang Yu Xin! Zhang Yu Xin! - Let's go! Stop talking nonsense.
Teacher, Professor, I'm sorry.
Although we don't know what's going on yet, we should really keep a watch on Yu Xin.
Don't tell me that Zhang Guo Guo and Zhang Yu Xin are sisters?
Let's go, let's go and head back first.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
My heart almost jumped out. You brat.
Are you going to ruin Yu Xin's future? I'll beat you!
Mom!
Ai Yu, I'm asking you, is Zhang Yu Xin your biological daughter?
Why are you asking this?
We have been living together for many years. I have only one daughter. You know that.
I don't trust your mom. I want to personally hear it from you.
Guo Guo..
I can see it clearly now. My mom would never give birth to a heartless person like my sister. She's worse than a stranger.
Looks like I should go to Golden Thread Embroidery.
Your sister has been lying to Grand Lead Embroiderer.
How can I let somebody like her continue staying there?
Teacher, I have a request.
Even if you must go to Golden Thread Embroidery, can you go later?
Even if we must chase my sister out, I don't want to ruin her dignity.
I-I'm not afraid that she'll be upset. I'm afraid that my mom will be sad.
Alright, Teacher. I need to leave now.
If Zhang Yu Xin is Ai Yu's biological daughter, and Guo Guo was adopted,
who are Guo Guo's biological parents?
You're leaving?
Since you two don't trust me, I can only leave.
That woman is really your mom,
and Zhang Guo Guo is really your younger sister?
Zhang Yu Xin, tell me if you plagiarized Yi Bei's drawing in the past.
You've seen Yi Bei, right? Where is she right now?
I don't know Jin Yi Bei.
I have no blood relations with those two, either.
Even now, you want to lie to us?
Zhang Guo Guo's mom only fostered me.
She fostered you. Not only are you ungrateful,
you say you don't know them.
Don't you know how that woman treated me?
This is my monthly remittance.
For the past years, out of the scholarship from you, other than tuition and living expenses,
I sent the rest to her.
This is such a big issue.
Why didn't you tell us at first?
To avoid burdening you,
I bore all of this myself.
Are you telling the truth?
I'm about to leave. There's no need to lie to you.
Thank you for raising me.
No matter where I go, you two will always be my true parents.
No matter how much time passes, I will never forget your kindness.
Yu Xin.
I believe that Yu Xin is telling the truth.
Sister-in-Law introduced Zhang Guo Guo to us. This is already very suspicious.
Zhi Ming, we watched Yu Xin grow up.
Now that things have come to this point, we can't only listen to her point of view.
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin, can you reconsider?
If you leave today, it'll be very hard to reenter Golden Thread Embroidery. Don't you know that?
Teacher, thank you for still caring for me.
Then...
Do you have a place to stay?
I'm an orphan to begin with.
In this world, no place truly belongs to me.
The days spent at Golden Thread Embroidery are like a sweet dream.
By you and Professor's sides, I've forgotten that I was an orphan.
Oh, right.
Also, there's Grandma. She has been too confused by Zhang Guo Guo.
If I bid farewell to her, she'll surely ignore me.
Teacher, please help me pass on my farewell.
Teacher, goodbye.
Mom, why are you here?
Because of you!
How could you leave Gao Ya Ting's concert midway?
What are you thinking of? Is your brain damaged?
Mom, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing.
You understand clearly what Gao Ya Ting's family background is like.
If you want to have your dad's company, you must take her down first.
- Do you need me to teach you such a simple principle, precious son?- Yun Zhe!
Aiyo!
You-- Why didn't you knock before coming in?
Who is she?
I remember now! You're Golden Thread Embroidery's, uh, that--
Auntie, hello.
What's wrong? Why do you look so upset?
- You're also holding your luggage. What happened?- Yun Zhe.
I...
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
I'll speak with you another day. Sorry for disturbing you.
Hey! Where does she think this is?
She comes and leaves with a long face! That brings bad luck!
Director, should I go check on her?
No need. I'll go.
Mom, go home first.
Hey, Yun Zhe! I set up a dinner date for you and Gao Ya Ting.
Yun Zhe! Where are you going?
Yun Zhe!
You rascal!
What exactly happened?
I left Golden Thread Embroidery.
Starting now,
I must live a lonely life, with no source of support again.
Don't worry. I won't disturb you.
So it's only this small matter?
How about this?
You come to my company. I'll arrange a position for you. You can begin working tomorrow.
Do you think I'm like this because of Golden Thread Embroidery?
It's because of you.
It's been so long.
You still don't understand my heart?
I worked so hard to become the daughter of Golden Thread Embroidery because that way, I'll deserve your love.
Now, everything is ruined.
I feel myself becoming further and further away from you.
I didn't expect that
even a strong woman like you would have irrational moments.
I've done so many irrational things for you.
No matter whether overseas or in China,
I often thought about you.
In order to see you again sooner,
I gave up on my work contract overseas.
People say that when women are in love,
they become foolish and dumb. I am no exception.
If I'm without you,
even if I have the whole world, so what?
Don't worry. In the future, I'll protect you.
Hello?
Oh. I'm with Le Tong in the hospital.
I'm not eating. You can go eat.
I am free to come as I please. Don't try to push away people who care about you, okay?
Lawyer Daddy!
Le Tong! Little darling, what are you doing?
Drawing? Such a good girl.
Why is our Le Tong growing prettier and prettier?
Hey, turn this way.
Look at Mommy and smile.
Don't we look like father and daughter?
Don't say nonsense in front of the child.
Since you're already here, why did you call me? Waste of money.
I was willing. I wanted to hear more of your voice.
Lawyer Daddy, Mommy is acting so weird today. She's blushing.
It's true! Why are you blushing?
Don't mess around. How could you trust a child's words?
Why are you dressed like this? Are you going on a blind date?
What's wrong with blind dates? Are you jealous?
Adults can't fight.
Daddy, take my mommy out for a walk. While you're at it, buy a cream cake for me.
Le Tong, I won't go. I'll keep you company here.
See? Even Le Tong said so.
How could you reject Le Tong's requests? You can't reject her.
Daddy will buy cake for you, okay? Let's go.
The child can't be here alone.
She has me.
Hurry and go.
My aunt is really my aunt! We're leaving now, Aunt.
- Bye-bye, Le Tong.- We're leaving, Teacher.
Beautiful Grandma.
Why do you look so upset? What's wrong?
It's a long story.
I'm upset for my mom.
Sometimes,
just one word from their children can make them upset for a long time.
Also, once they're hurt, it's hard to recover.
It was the same with my deceased mother.
In the past...
I told her I didn't like the dishes she cooked,
and forced her to buy eggs for me.
After hearing that, she ran out
and...
I-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for reminding you of your sadness.
That's enough.
Your mom would also hope you'd live everyday happily, right?
There's a cake shop here.
Didn't we promise to buy cake for Le Tong?
Let's go.
Did we just have a heart-to-heart conversation?
Although I didn't finish the story, I think I'm one step closer.
♫ how would the story continue? ♫
- I want this cake. - How could you make this decision for me?
Your pupils are about to pop out of their sockets. Why are you choosing a cake so earnestly?
Don't you think that choosing cakes is just like appreciating art?
Perhaps it's because no one has ever bought a birthday cake for me before
that I love to look at them.
Really? No one has ever bought you cake before?
Yes. Mom doesn't remember my birthday.
Starting now, today will be your birthday.
How could that be?
Why not? I said it is, so it is.
♫ You silently stood there, ♫
♫ so beautiful in the mass of people ♫
Yun Kai, thank you.
Remember, from now on, you can only accept cakes from me.
Even if there is a Wang Yun Kai or Zhao Yun Kai, you are not allowed to accept from them.
Don't worry. Who would have such an ugly name?
♫ Slowly come closer ♫
Are you hungry?
Yummy food is here.
Here.
Good. What are you drawing?
Le Tong, how do you know to draw this courtyard?
Who taught you this? Have you been there before?
I've never been there. Mommy taught me.
Your mom's been there before?
She's known how to draw this since she was little.
She drew this when she was younger?
Le Tong, Mommy's back.
You are drawing the dyeing compound again?
Yes. Where is Lawyer Daddy?
He answered a call and left.
Guo Guo,
have you been to this dyeing compound before?
I don't remember clearly. I could have seen it on television because Golden Thread Embroidery is so famous.
Let's eat cake.
Okay.
If Yi Bei is still alive,
she would be around the same age as Guo Guo.
It can't be such a coincidence.
Yu Xin! Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! Yu Xin, did you clarify things with Professor Jin?
Are you satisfied?
I have been kicked out. Are you happy now?
We can be together everyday.
Yu Xin, ever since that year when I let you go
I've been regretting that decision.
Come back to my side, okay?
When you're tired, you can come rest by me.
When you're hungry, I can make you your favorite food.
Ever since you left me,
there was never a day when I didn't think about you. I've been waiting for you to come back.
Yu Xin, listen to me. Come back.
Stop daydreaming.
Yu Xin, how could you not realize your mistake?
You won't be able to hide the truth for much longer.
Guo Guo's teacher suspects that you are my biological daughter.
How does Zhang Guo Guo's teacher know that? Did you tell her?
No. It's very easy for her to find out when we are living together.
Mom, I'm telling you.
You can't let Zhang Guo Guo's teacher know about this.
If she knew, I would be done for.
Also, if anyone asks about Zhang Guo Guo's birth,
you have to tell them that she is your biological daughter.
Yu Xin, have you thought it through?
You're coming back home with me?
There can't be this many coincidences.
Could Guo Guo be the missing Yi Bei?
However, Yi Bei went missing in Jiangling,
and Guo Guo grew up in Xiping.
Jiangling and Xiping are really far apart.
Is it possible that Wang Ai Yu didn't find Guo Guo in Xiping?
Hello, Guo Guo? I have something to ask you.
What age were you when you were adopted? Do you know?
Age?
My sister said when she found me,
I was just like a little beggar standing on the road.
It probably wasn't when I was an infant.
Then do you have photos of when you were younger?
Photos of when I was young?
Teacher, why do you want photos?
I want to look at them. I want to see what you were like back in the day.
My photo is in the right drawer next to the balcony door.
- Okay, you can go back to whatever you were doing. - Okay.
Teacher, you'll have to look for it yourself. Le Tong has a check up.
I'm hanging up.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
There are none.
Xiu Hua?
What are you doing?
I'm looking for Guo Guo's childhood pictures.
She told me it was in this album.
But not even one photo is here.
Why are you looking for Guo Guo's pictures?
Ai Yu, how did you meet Guo Guo?
I mean,
how did you find Guo Guo?
What are you trying to ask? I don't understand.
Ai Yu, I already know
you found Guo Guo.
Do you know who Guo Guo's biological parents are?
How would I know who her biological parents are?
When you first found her, why didn't you report it to the police?
Do you know how worried parents are when losing a child?
How could they just randomly leave their kid in the streets?
She was probably abandoned by her parents!
Finding her biological parents is between Guo Guo and me.
It's not for you to get involved with!
Who is this child? Why did Zhang Yu Xin throw these pictures away?
Zhang Yu Xin, how many secrets are you hiding?
How is it? Are you accustomed to living here yet?
Living here is great.
Even though Golden Thread Embroidery doesn't want to see me,
I have to find a way to return.
Why don't you help me instead?
I can give you a better platform to improve on. I don't want you to be tormented in that place again.
I must go back.
If I go back to Golden Thread Embroidery, I will get the opportunity to be the lead embroiderer.
Then I can take over Golden Thread Embroidery
and merge it with Strong Group.
Isn't that the business plan you proposed to me?
I will definitely help you to realize this.
I'm very happy that you are thinking of my behalf
but I don't want you to suffer for me. I don't want to see you cry again.
What you said is good enough for me.
Don't worry, I won't work naively.
I have a solution. Hear me out.
By the way, starting from 8 p.m. tomorrow, you will be learning English from me.
We'll study for two hours each day.
I will also teach you some basic etiquette
to mold you into a gentle and graceful woman.
I've got the looks, I don't need to study that.
A woman's appearance is also one of the aspects of basic etiquette.
Regardless of whether you're willing or not, you must learn it.
Do you know how many girls are dying for me to teach them?
How could you be so ignorant of the bliss you're living in?
Then go teach them. Why come bother me?
Do you hate me that much? Okay, then.
If you hate me, I won't come. I'm a busy person. I don't have that much time to waste on you;
however... even if I'm not around you,
no matter how far away you are, my heart will always be with you
because I won't allow my woman to get hurt,
frown, or cry.
Understand?
This is our schooling contract. Le Tong has already signed it on your behalf.
Diligently learn from me. Once you have mastered it, you will teach her.
This bad child. The both of you teamed up to go against me, right?
Anyway, it's just classes. So what?
Are you qualified to be a teacher?
Is your English good enough? Perhaps it's worse than mine.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, then. Whoever doesn't show up is a dog.
Lead Embroiderer Xu, because I couldn't contact Miss Zhang Yu Xin, I could only visit you.
Did something happen to her?
Did you need something from her?
She suddenly proposed to our company to stop all sales of embroidery connected with Golden Thread Embroidery.
Did you know about this?
I don't know anything about this.
What is the meaning of this? Who gave her the right to make such a request?
Looks like you don't know yet. Previously, all Golden Thread Embroidery works were personally designed by Miss Zhang Yu Xin.
Also, these products are copyrighted. Without her permission,
it will be difficult for our company to continue partnering with Golden Thread Embroidery.
I'm afraid this will cause great loss to our company.
That's why I came here to see you.
How could she do this?
Not only Golden Thread Embroidery. Even other brands from our company,
as long as she designed them, cannot be sold.
The situation is dire. I think we need to discuss a solution right now.
Are you saying that without Zhang Yu Xin's consent,
none of Golden Thread Embroidery's products can be sold?
This is ridiculous.
Don't worry, I'll ask her to clarify this.
I can't believe Zhang Yu Xin is more manipulative than I expected.
Didn't we already agree to not let Zhang Yu Xin back into Golden Thread Embroidery? Why the sudden change?
Mom, I have no other choice.
If our partnership with Strong Group stops, we'll suffer huge losses.
From the start, I was against this collaboration, but you refused to listen. You disregarded my words.
Look at the situation now. Golden Thread Embroidery has to depend on a little girl for survival?
Isn't this a joke?
I never thought that Zhang Yu Xin would do this.
We supported her education and she gets revenge on us.
In the past, I always thought we misunderstood her in some situations.
Looking at it now, her character is definitely a problem.
When forced, anyone can take outrageous actions. The question is, can we make a comeback?
How can we make a comeback?
I'll ask Zhang Guo Guo's mom to clarify the truth.
Besides, Yu Xin is someone we've nurtured for so many years. I don't think she'd be this heartless.
Moreover, if we have to fight fire with fire
then both parties get hurt and no one wins.
Wow, this is pretty. Who is this for?
This is for Lawyer Uncle.
When I hang this in his car, it'll make him more cultured.
Mom's handiwork is great. Uncle will definitely like it.
Mom, in the future can I call him "dad?"
Le Tong, don't talk nonsense. You can't just call anyone "dad."
Le Tong! Let Grandma see!
Can you hear me?
Grandma, your voice is like the sound of a gong. I can hear you.
Looks like the surgery went well. We can discharge you from the hospital today.
Look at what I bought for you.
Grandma, when did you become so generous?
You brat. When have I not been generous?
Guo Guo, now that Le Tong's surgery is done, we'll have to spend more money in the future.
I found a job in a dessert shop to earn more money.
Mom! Don't overwork. It'll make me feel sorry.
What's the point of that? The most important thing now is to get more money.
Grandma, look, Mommy made this for Dad. Doesn't it look good?
Hey, this is pretty. Is this for Li Yun Kai's wedding?
Don't make it for free. Charge him more, okay? He has a rich family, anyway.
Wedding? Who's getting married?
Li Yun Kai! His dad is arranging blind dates for him everyday!
Once he finds one he's satisfied with, they'll get married.
Mom, did you really hear that?
I work at their home everyday, I know everything about them.
Why doesn't he get married to Mommy? He told me to call him "daddy."
Le Tong, didn't I tell you before? You can't call random people "dad."
Hello?
Jerk Lawyer.
This jerk. Stupid jerk.
You call me up every few days. When will this end?
I'm sorry, this is the last time we'll be bothering you.
Is there something wrong?
I heard that Zhang Yu Xin used to send you money monthly, right?
Send money?
Auntie, I told them
about how you've been exploiting and threatening me these years.
I'm sorry.
My own daughter is framing me as a liar and thief.
If this can help Yu Xin get what she wants, I don't mind suffering a little.
You good-for-nothing. You gave me a little bit of money and now you're tattling on me?
Is it wrong to ask you for money? I deserve it! I'll beat you to death--!
What are you doing? This means, you really asked her for money?
That's right. I did! What of it?
Her dad passed away early and I gave her food and clothes.
She didn't respect me and ran away! I must get my losses back.
You have a daughter, too. How could you do something so cruel?
I'm cruel?!
At least, I let her call me "mom." What about you?
All these years, she's done so much for you. Why don't you allow her to call you "dad" and "mom?"
You ungrateful person. I raised you.
Isn't it only natural I ask you for money?
What are you trying to do?
Zhi Ming, there is nothing else to say to people like her.
Yu Xin, come back with us.
Don't act pitiful in front of me. You think you don't have to fear me, now that you can rely on rich people?
Alright, then. I'll see if you can protect her for life!
Now that we know the truth, we won't abandon Zhang Yu Xin again.
If you cause problems for Yu Xin again, we will see you in court.
Before settling the situation, don't even think about leaving!
