We'll be brothers again in our next life!!
Why does my marriage always end in failure?
For 20 years, I have suffered living without you every day.
If one day, we can no longer find each other,
then let's come here to meet.
He hides his emotions. When he works, he is very organized.
My first impression was not wrong.
Song Jie has pushed me to the very edge.
We can't be together in this life, but I will look forward to the next life.
I hope that we will really last forever.
I know in this lifetime you have only Zhang Hao Tian in your heart.
I don't love you. That's the only reason.
I have always hoped that I could hold you like this one day.

Episode 30
Lu Feng, what's wrong? You kept being quiet all day.
You're not replying when I ask.
What happened?
Company's issue, it's not worth mentioning.
Alright, since you won't say anything,
I'll drink with you.
Here, cheers.
What's wrong? Are you injured?
How did you get hurt?
I originally was going to find Zi Yang,
but I got attacked by Zhang Hao Tian.
but I got ambushed by Hao Tian. Tian Xin, your father warned me today
to not get too close to you.
Who I am with is my freedom, my dad can't interfere.
So, what you mean is...you're willing to be with me?
That depends on whether you're sincere to me.
Alright, then tell me.
What should I do to prove my sincerity to you?
- Should there not be secrets between couples?- Yeah.
Look, I want to go on the internet right now but I can't even open the computer.
Password, right? 920214.
What? Are you satisfied now?
Alright, then I'll believe in your sincerity for now.
Cheers.
Lu Feng, I'm so happy today.
Let's drink until we're drunk.
Here, cheers.
Lu Feng?
- Hao Tian!- Tian Xin.
- Hao Tian.- What is it?
I got Lu Feng's computer's password.
- That's great!- There must be something that can prove Zi Yang's innocence on his computer.
Thank you for helping Zi Yang.
Alright, alright. Let's not delay any longer.
Lu Feng is suspicious, I'm afraid he might change the password.
- Let's hurry and go.- Okay, let's go.
2, 1, 4...
Why are these number so familiar?
1992 February 14...?
I've always heard Lu Feng mention this date.
This is his parent's day of death.
Lu Feng used his parent's day of death for his password
is to remind himself not to forget this day.
To remember to take revenge on the people who harmed them.
He has always put his hatred in his heart,
no matter what the truth of the matter is.
Also, he has already done a lot of wrong things and hurt a lot of people.
If he continues, he will be forced into a dead end soon.
Open, Long Wei Internal Account.
Xin Guang Bank...
How could there not be details on the loan?
Could Lu Feng have made preparations already?
Le Mei, brother is not scolding you,
but when are you going to stop torturing yourself?
People must always look forward. Don't invest in relationships that should be invested in.
What kind of person is Lu Feng? Does he love you?
If he really loved you, would he do this to you?
He already isn't the Lu Feng from the past.
Yes, yes...
I am good-for-nothing. I am good-for-nothing!
I knew already...
I already knew his heart weren't with me already.
I also already know that his feelings to me were fake.
I also already knew that, when he gets mad, he would hit me.
But I had no choice.
I have no choice to stop myself from thinking and loving him.
Brother, I am only a woman.
I don't understand what going forward or backward means.
I only know...
I only know I've been together with him for so many years.
Why? Why did all of this change?
Why?! Why weren't I even given the chance to prepare?! Why?! Why?!
Come. Don't get irritated.
Sit down. Brother will talk to you, alright?
Le Mei, you've always thought that Tian Xin stole Lu Feng's heart, right?
It's actually not like that.
Everything was planned by me and Tian Xin.
Tian Xin got close to Lu Feng and forced herself to be with him.
Her doing this is to find evidence to prove Zi Yang's innocence.
I didn't think that all of this got realised by Lu Feng.
Enough, enough! Brother, stop telling me! I don't want to listen, I don't want to know.
The more I know, the more my heart hurts.
Lu Feng now looks like he has become an entirely different person.
He has become so scary,
so coldhearted and brutal, so unfair with his tactics.
All of this is so scary.
So scary, so scary.
So scary...
Le Mei, since you already understand Lu Feng's real character,
then you should resolutely give up on him.
The person that you love is already not the previous Lu Feng.
Just pretend that the past Lu Feng doesn't exist anymore, alright?
Brother really hopes you could find a man who truly loves you.
Brother will definitely wish for your best, okay?
Le Mei, it's getting late.
Rest early. You're about to graduate.
There are still a lot of think about.
Think more about those things. Don't let Mum and Dad and me worry, okay?
Sleep early. Brother is going.
Brother, I promise you. I will think of a way to forget Lu Feng.
Mr Chu, as America's Louis Investment Company's Chairman in the Asia area,
you are us Asian's pride.
I heard you went to America when you were really young,
is this the first time you've come back?
Yes. I've left this place really young
to study in America.
I'm in a very good mood in returning anew after so many years.
You only studied in America, what supported you to get to where you are today?
Actually, when I was small, I was a person who didn't like to study at all.
I'm lucky that I an angel was send to me,
she told me to study hard and become a useful person.
For these years, whenever I can't go on,
I would think of her.
Then, this angel...?
My returning this time, apart from the company's investment mission,
I also have an important intention
is to be able to find her.
Her name is Zhang Le Mei.
Le Mei, if you can see this,
I will be waiting at our childhood ice skating rink on this weekend's afternoon.
Mr Chu, your confession is very stylish.
I believe this Miss Zhang will be touched by your romantic confession.
Thank you.
Mr Chu, could you tell us a bit about your next investment plans?
The most important thing this time is to find an investment target.
For now, we've locked onto five corporations,
we have already entered the last evaluation step.
Is this Chu Yao Hui talking about Le Mei? What is their relationship?
I hope friends of the media could continue paying attention to this.
Mr Chu, during your last interview, you demonstrated that you were looking for a girl,
have you found her?
Not yet. Through your channel,
I hope to send her another invite.
Zhang Le Mei, if you see this news,
remember, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon,
I will be waiting for you at the childhood ice skating rink.
Le Mei, what is going on?
Le Mei, do you know Chu Yao Hui?
I also don't know,
if this Chu Yao Hui my primary school peer.
We haven't been in contact for many years.
Primary school peer...?
Impossible. I went to primary school with you,
- how could I not know about this?- You?
You were a nerd.
You probably didn't even know the girls in your class, how could you have known about this?
Alright, you. Have you been in love since primary school?
Alright, alright. You've made Le Mei embarrassed already.
Le Mei, if you're really shy,
then Sister Qiu Yan will go with you, okay?
Don't go, if that Chu Yao Hui, he-
Nothing. I mean, if you went, you would be the third wheel.
You silly.
Okay, stop it, you two.
I think, this Mr Chu could already be married.
He might just wanted to thank me personally since he came back uneasily.
I don't think that is. Look at how he was talking just then,
impatient and sincere,
it isn't just so simple as saying thank you.
That's right, Le Mei. Then are you going tomorrow?
I also don't know.
Le Mei, you've already spend too much time next to Lu Feng,
it's time to start your own journey.
It's fine, there's still time.
You can slowly consider, don't miss this magical fate.
Your brother is right.
Let's eat.
Zhen Hua, you're still not ready to get off work?
I'm still busy, later.
That...Yao Hui came back.
I only saw on the TV.
He has been very hardworking the recent years.
He's now the Chairman of the Asia area in a famous American Investment Company.
He came back this time to find a suitable investment target.
He didn't call me when he came back, this child...
Godfather? That means, Chu Yao Hui is your biological son?
Did the interviewers ask something?
Speak, are you mute?
Did he tell the interviewer say he's not my son?
It's been so many years, he still hates me.
Don't guess blindly, Zhen Hua.
Yao Hui didn't say anything. Those interviewers were just curious.
Would it be because of you that he has special interests in Long Wei,
so that's why he asked that?
Don't worry, I'll take care of Yao Hui's issue.
Le Mei!
- Brother.- Le Mei, how's the consideration going?
Le Mei, stop being indecisive about Lu Feng.
Hurry and find the person you love and begin your new life.
Brother, do you really hope for me to find a boyfriend so quickly?
All of the girls now focus on independence.
That way, with a life of your own,
you won't feel lonely.
Le Mei, you're the darling of everyone in this family.
We will support you fully no matter what you choose.
Because we love you.
But now, mum and dad are getting old.
I am also very busy outside.
I hope, you could expand your circle of friends,
meet some new people to find your happiness.
Alright, Brother. I got it.
Don't worry about me.
- Rest early.- Goodnight.
Brother Yao Hui, can you teach me some tricks next time?
Le Mei, can we swap our school cards?
School cards?
After we graduate from primary school, I'll have to study in America.
I want to have it as a keepsake.
You're looking at that again?
Look, the words are about to fade off entirely. What are you still looking at?
Kai Wen,
if you still dare to intrude in my privacy,
you won't need to come to work again in the future.
Yes, yes, yes. I won't look, I won't look.
Have you prepared the information we need for tomorrow's meeting?
I've prepared it, look.
I'll go open the door. It might be another female reporter who admires you
for a special interview.
You are...?
What's with you?
You didn't even notify me when you came back.
Exactly, we only knew of your return from the TV.
Kai Wen, go back to your room first.
Yes, boss.
Why are you so mannerless?
Why aren't you asking us to sit?
- I don't have a father like you.- You...!
Yao Hui, it's been such a long time,
you should forget the unhappy things from the past
and experience new happy things.
That's your lifestyle.
To me, I don't know what happiness is.
If you two came to make small talk,
then please go back. I'm busy with work.
You're an arrogant unfilial son! I've raised you for nothing!
You raised me?
Since the day my mother died, my father also died.
You're not suitable to be my father.
Yao Hui, your father is also very upset about your mother's death,
this wasn't the ending he wanted.
You're a third-wheel, you have no rights to comment on my mother.
In the beginning, it was because you intruded into our family, dreaming to be family Chu's lady.
Otherwise, how could my mother have been sacrificed so pitifully?
How many times do I have to tell you until you understand?!
When I knew Li Na, your mother have already passed away.
That time it was because you were still a young child,
I was worried you had nobody to take care of you, that's why I married Li Na so quickly.
Yao Hui, you were a small child at that time,
you knew nothing about the world.
You can't put judgements on us with your own guesses.
If you didn't understand the situation back then,
- father could explain it again to you!- Enough.
Right now, the most important thing for me is to complete the company's investment plan.
To fight over who killed who now has no meaning in it,
it's just a waste of my time.
Chu Yao Hui, I came to visit you submissively,
Are you trying to be pretentious?
Are you above all for studying a lot? Is being chairman so extraordinary?
I am able to disown you as my son!
That would be the best. Everyone would become carefree.
- I...!- Zhen Hua! I think Yao Hui is tired as he just returned,
he still hasn't made the preparations to see us.
How about this, I'll make some dishes at home in a few days
and invite Yao Hui to come, so you two could chat, alright?
You go ask him.
Yao Hui, choose a time,
auntie can make your favourite home dishes.
After this mission,
I'll have to go back, I don't have time.
You are forcing me to use my hand, aren't you?
- Hilarious. What authority do you have to hit me?- I...!
Let's go back first.
We'll talk again when Yao Hui calms down. Let's go, let's go.
Hurry and let's go, go!
Zhang Hao Tian has been so cold to me recently.
He didn't allow me to attend any important meeting.
He couldn't be guarded against me, right?
No, I want to make a move.
What kind of man can escape?
Manager Zhang, this is the information you wanted.
Good, leave it here.
Manager Zhang, what are you looking at?
Since you've brought the information, you can go now.
I still have a lot of emergency issues to do.
- The company's issues are our issues, there's no need to avoid me.- You..
You let go of your hand. What are you doing?
Manager Zhang, you're too attractive.
I feel a bit moved when I see you working so seriously.
This is the office, we're working.
Please have some respect for yourself.
Then is Manager Zhang hinting at me
to come find you after work?
Let go!
Chen Qiu Yan, do you not know how to knock when you come in?
Do you not know I'm discussing important issues with Manager Zhang?
Qiu Yan, don't misunderstand! Everything you saw just then was not true!
Nothing is happening between her and me!
Manager Zhang, I came to report work issues with you.
As Vice Manager Luo said, you guys were discussing some very, very important issues.
I didn't knock on the door, I am very apologetic. I'm sorry.
Qiu Yan, I'm telling you, nothing happened between us.
My head was down while I was writing, she came over. After she came,
she stood beside me, she was dressed really exposed.
- I also didn't know what she wanted to do to me.
- Manager Zhang.- After she came in, I was like that.
- And I was writing again-- This is your private issue, no need to explain to me.
Qiu Yan, I don't care what others think about me.
But you can't not believe me.
I just wanted to report to you about Lang Yue Hotel-
What are you laughing at? All that I've said is true, I am wrongly accused of!
I was playing with you.
You scared me to death!
Hurry and get up.
Scared me to death...
What are you doing?!
She was dressed like this already. Did you look at her?
I didn't look at her. i was...I was already like this!
- You really didn't see?- I really didn't!
Reporting work.
Boss, haven't you come a bit too early today?
I've waited for this day for so long, how could I be late?
Right, right, right.
Boss, you look especially handsome today.
When I was young, I often came to roller-skate with Le Mei.
During that time, she didn't know how to skate. When I taught her, she kept falling.
Every time she got up, she would say it didn't hurt, but she would secretly cry.
So this is boss's place of first love.
It's quite romantic.
This is my last memory about my home city.
Also, the bench here. I would sit here with Le Mei when we changed our shoes.
Here, I'll help you.
Thank you, Brother Yao Hui.
I don't know if she will come.
Boss, when have you become so unconfident in yourself?
To women,
first love is the most memorable experience.
Zhang Le Mei- You guys also had such an innocent first love.
If I were here, I would be waiting for you here already.
We've been separated in different places for so many years,
this school card was my only sustenance.
I want to see Le Mei, I want to hold her hand,
I want to roller skate with her again.
Le Mei, I'll have to go study abroad in America tomorrow.
I will bring your school card with me always.
I will miss you.
I really hope she didn't forget our past.
Zhang Le Mei, you're so boring.
Even if you saw him, what could you do?
Do you really hope that he could console you?
Don't be silly. You're already an emotional failure,
a woman that even the lowest of the low don't want.
How are you still so naïve and so unafraid of dying?
You still have imaginings for love?
Boss, how long do we still have to wait?
That Miss Zhang is late for an entire forty minutes.
If this was America, who cares what kind of VIP she is,
we would have left already.
If you're not willing to wait, then go first.
Boss, it's possible that Miss Zhang is already married
and her husband doesn't allow her to come see you.
It's also possible that she didn't see the news,
or she's overseas,
and doesn't know you are looking for her.
Actually, I think the biggest possibility is tardiness,
or Miss Zhang is testing your patience.
Yao Hui? Could he have just left?
9703!
Here!
9618!
Here!
Chu Yao Hui?
I've finally found you. We've been apart for many years,
we meet again.
I really didn't think you still remembered what I said.
I always thought it was just some childish words,
without any weight or meaning
and would be forgotten as we grew up.
Every thing you said that year,
I still remember clearly to this day. All of the achievements I have today
relies on your encouragement that year.
You were originally very smart and talented.
You could have today's success relied on your abilities.
Honestly, when I didn't wait until you arrived just then,
I was really disappointed. I thought,
you might have been married, had a family or...
even had kids and wasn't in convenience to come.
A girl as common as me, why would someone marry me?
To me, you're the most beautiful in the world,
the cutest girl.
Alright, stop using me as a joke.
What about you? Are you already married?
Don't be funny. I'm as common as you.
Since no one married you, nobody is willing to marry me either.
Right now, like we were young,
could we play, holding hands, until dark and be unwilling to go home?
- I haven't skated for so long.- Not bad, right?
Boss, coffee.
I still haven't added sugar.
It still tastes fine. Leave it, no need to add.
Boss, you've always added sugar to your coffee,
why not today?
I got it! It's because Boss's heart is sweet.
Look at you, full of youth.
That piece of sugar is Miss Le Mei, right?
I didn't think that the lively and cute girl,
grew into such a beautiful lady today.
Women are the most unpredictable animal.
In their whole life, their appearances will change every three years.
When they're in love, they change even quicker.
They could change three times in one day.
You speak as if you understand a lot about women.
You're only speaking theoretically. If you really understood women,
then you wouldn't not even have a girlfriend to this day, right?
Boss, it's Mr Wilson's mail.
This smart boss,
did he remind you to not forget your true purpose while you're searching for your friend?
He has overthought. For this investment plan,
I've made sufficient preparations already.
Sister Qiu Yan!
There are customers, let's go that side.
Le Mei, today's date must have been successful, right?
I think that it's been so many years,
he is so successful already,
yet he can still care about me so much.
Then that means, he is single like you.
How did you know?
Look at your expression now,
happy and full of expectations.
If you met a married man today,
I guess you would be regretful and sad now, right?
Le Mei, Sister Qiu Yan is really happy that you could walk out from Lu Feng's shadow.
You're a good girl, you shoud love a person who is worth your love.
That way, you won't waste your youth, right?
Godfather, you're corporation's pillar,
you can't make your body ill with anger.
Yao Hui must have misunderstood your meaning,
so he threw a child's tantrum with you only.
But back to the point, I can understand Yao Hui's heart.
Since I've also lost my parents when I was young.
We make tantrums like this,
only because we wanted to obtain a bit more fatherly love.
See if this works,
I can represent you to visit Yao Hui.
Then, I will advise him with my own experience,
to see if he could change his mind.
Thanks, but it's useless.
Godfather, I will try my best.
Think about it, if it could undo this knot between you and Yao Hui,
to you, you could gain happiness again.
To me, I also did something good for Godfather, right?
Lu Feng, in the past, I've scolded you about Tian Xin's issue.
Now I know, you're acting with Tian Xin.
To uncover Zhang Hao Tian's setup.
The truth is exposed now,
not only did you make an achievement,
you've also proven your sincerity to me. I must reward you well.
As long as you take Jun Hao Department Store,
I will promote you as Jun Hao's chairman.
Thanks, Godfather.
Lu Feng, do well. This is what you deserve.
Yes.
Yao Hui.
You are...?
I'm sorry, Mr Chu. Apologies for my intrusion.
I am Long Wei Corporation's Manager.
My name is Lu Feng, I am also Chu Zhen Hua's godson.
Mr Lu, you must not be a simple person.
According to Chu Zhen Hua's market position, if you could be picked by him
and become his trusted subordinate,
you must have something that excels everybody else.
Mr Chu's words makes me feel ashamed.
Actually, Chairman has mentioned you more than once to me.
I hope that I could have the chance to learn from you.
Learn from me?
Manager Lu, are all of the managers in this country so naïve?
Or are only Long Wei's people that innocent?
To be able to have a hold over a couple of billion US dollars
and to help in directing the top five American investment company
is not something that somebody as low as you could learn.
Mr Lu, you should also know,
only good materials can make a good tabletop.
Mr Chu is right. I've come in too much of a rush today, definitely a shame.
But Mr Chu, I hope you could understand,
Chairman Chu really hopes that you could return to his side.
Manager Lu, I think you've made a mistake.
I don't have any relations with Chu Zhen Hua.
If you came to convince me in his place,
I'm not interested.
Mr Chu, I think you must have misunderstood Godfather's intentions.
Recently, Godfather has completely defeated
his many years of enemy, Song Tian Cheng,
and so got Jun Hao Department Store's control from him.
I believe he did this is to cement your future business's foundation, is that not so?
Today, you have such prestigious achievements in the economical world,
I believe you must have also inherited from Chairman Chu.
If you two could overlook your past grudges
- and cooperate together, I-- Are you done talking?
You- don't you think that's a double-win?
Fools always think they are right.
Manager Lu, your interview results today,
doesn't seem like you could occupy my, Kai Wen's, position.
Kai Wen,
go send a resumé to Long Wei.
It's possible that you could become their manager tomorrow.
Yes.
This way, please.
Timing and Subtitles by The Ladder Of Love Team@Viki
Chu Yao Hui, if I didn't have to consider Chu Zhen Hua's reputation,
I wouldn't have tolerated you. And that fake Westener.
Kai Wen? What is that?
To use one's position to bully others, Yao Hui is showing off.
I, Lu Feng, will become successful one day.
All these people who look down on me,
I will all step on them!
What? You said your results didn't meet the prerequisite
and don't have the requirements to do the exam?
Le Mei, how could this happen?
Because of Lu Feng's issue,
I didn't have the mood to work at the hospital.
There was too much delayed work, so...
What I'm most pained about now is, I don't know how to tell Mum and Dad.
They have always had high expectations of me,
they will definitely be so disappointed.
Le Mei, that means, all of your four years of medical studies have been wasted?
Brother, sorry.
For my education fees, you've worked so hard.
But I'm so useless.
Le Mei, this doesn't matter.
The key is, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Haven't we lost time this way?
That year, I only studied medicine because of Lu Feng.
I actually had no interest at all.
I've broken up with Lu Feng now,
I also don't want to deceive myself.
That also means, you never wanted to be a doctor, right?
Then what do you want to do now? What are you interested in?
I don't know.
Le Mei, what about going to work at a department store?
To work at Tian Cheng?
- To work at Tian Cheng?- Yes.
But I have no experience at all.
Moreover, would Zi Han and her mother accept me going to Tian Cheng?
Don't worry about that. Just leave it to me after that.
That's right, Le Mei. Believe in your brother, he will get it done.
