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 36
Zi Yang?
You're back? I've waited for half a day for you.
Is there something you want from me?
If so, why didn't you tell me at the office?
I weren't looking for you for work-related issues.
I only want you to give me an answer.
What answer?
The last time, you asked me what you have to do to let Hao Tian be my brotherly friend.
My answer is, unless you marry me.
So Qiu Yan spoke to Zi Yang about this in secret for me.
Then, what is your answer now?
I...I...
Hao Tian.
Hao Tian, you came at the right time.
All three of us are conveniently here at the same time.
Let's clear things up then.
Qiu Yan, are you willing to marry me?
Hao Tian, you'll still push me to Song Zi Yang, right?
Qiu Yan, I only hope you would live happily and in bliss.
Anyone have the rights to choose their own happiness, right?
Zi Yang.
To be friends with you, I've hidden my feelings with Qiu Yan.
But now, I finally understand,
to be a worthy man, one must never back down in any situation,
and shouldn't give up love for friendship even more so.
The feelings between Qiu Yan and me can't be replaced by anyone anymore.
I can give up being Tian Cheng Corporation's Manager
and also stop being your friend.
But, I will never give Qiu Yan to you again.
Hao Tian.
Qiu Yan.
From today on, I will never let you feel even a tiny bit of suffer.
Fine. Fine.
Such great love. I give up my blessings.
I hope you guys really could last forever.
Oh my...I'm not dreaming, right?
In your world, aren't there only your job and friends?
You're willing to give up everything for me.
You won't regret it, right?
Qiu Yan, from today on,
I will never let go again.
Never ever.
Mum, but you're really brilliant,
you could even invite Mr Chu.
This Mr Chu is young,
he's quite famous in the group.
You seem to admire him quite a lot.
He is indeed quite charming.
But, I am here today to help mother find a suitable collaborating figure for Brother.
Sure, then don't forget your goal.
I also hope Zi Yang could gain a bit more funds,
so that he could expand his work.
Mr Chu!
Mr Chu.
Mr Chu, thank you for finding some free time to meet up.
This is my mother, Lang Yue Corporation's Chairwoman.
- Hello.- I've heard a lot about you. I am Chu Yao Hui.
- Hello.- Good, take a seat.
So you're the miss who rode in my car.
Listening to Zi Han, you're the most nationally well-known financial expert.
How young and talented.
Chairwoman has over-complimented, there's no way.
Mr Chu, I believe you have heard that Tian Cheng Corporation has already officially separated.
The portion that I control has been renamed to Lang Yue Corporation.
Zi Han has mentioned you to me often, she said you are interested in funding this capable company.
The few companies that my son is controlling
are businesses that have the greatest capabilities right now.
If you're interested, we could collaborate and create a future together.
Lang Yue's current condition is quite tempting, we will evaluate seriously.
Mr Chu, I hear that your lectures are great.
A professor as handsome as you, there must be a lot of female students who admire you, right?
How do you want me to answer you?
Then do you have a girlfriend right now?
Sorry, I don't want to talk about private matters with people I just met.
Zi Han, don't be so inquisitive.
Mr Chu just came back from overseas, he cares a lot about his privacy.
Sorry, Chairwoman, Miss Song.
I just remembered that I still have something to do.
About the collaboration, let's talk about it another time.
What's going on? He just left us here?
What does this really mean?
Le Mei!
Are you going to hide from me like this forever?
Le Mei, look at me!
Everything Lu Feng has done to you, I already know.
You've only been blinded by his lies, that's why you don't want to face me.
I want to tell you, I don't care a bit!
You obviously has suffered, but you keep silent for my sake.
I feel really sad.
Yao Hui, you're really naïve.
Lu Feng has never sweet-talked me, never lied to me.
All of this was my choice.
I know you're really good to me,
but our fate has been exhausted.
I...I truly really love Lu Feng.
I want to stay with him, I want to save him.
I don't want to continue watching him fall.
Perhaps you would laugh at me for being silly, for being stupid.
But...but I believe,
I believe that my love for him could bring him back.
Is this really your final decision?
Le Mei, look.
This school card has been with me for ten odd years.
I can feel you beside me every time,
reminding me of your sweet smile.
Zhang Le Mei
Today, I will return it to its owner.
Yao Hui, I'm sorry.
In love, don't say sorry.
Failure is the greatest insult to a person who has lost his love.
But as long as you're happy,
what does it matter if I suffer a bit?
Le Mei, if you really love Lu Feng,
then help him find his true self so that he could be an upright person.
Yao Hui, thank you.
Why did you come?
I have something work-related to talk to you about.
What's so important that it could make you come personally?
I am prepared to talk to you about investing in Long Wei.
Really?
But I have a condition, it's that you must fire Lu Feng first.
You wouldn't even admit to being my son, why would you want to invest in Long Wei?
Could you be wanting to acknowledge me as your father?
I just want Lu Feng to lose you, his support.
So that he is unable to rise in business.
That way, he would reevaluate, fine his true self, leave the market
and live his days realistically.
Only that way, Le Mei will be happy living his days with him.
After saying so much,
you're only willing to do this for that woman, Zhang Le Mei.
My position in your heart doesn't even compare to that woman?
You already know the answer, is there need to insult yourself?
But the problem is Lu Feng has worked for me for so long and has contributed greatly.
If I fire him out of the blue, what will the other workers think?
That's your issue.
I'll give you three days' time. After three days, you can decide,
whether you want him or my money.
Miss, your onion. Please enjoy.
I didn't say I wanted onion soup.
Why did you use this trick again?
What's inside?
Won't you know what's inside when you open it yourself?
Onion?
You're treating me to an onion?
People all say, men's hearts are like onions.
If you want to understand him, you must open it layer by layer.
During the process of opening it, you will cry.
In the end, you will realise that onions don't have hearts.
That doesn't mean men don't have hearts,
but it's because the hearts of men...
have already been give to the woman he loves the most.

Hao Tian, have you ever thought that if we didn't meet,
what would you be doing?
Me? I must be waiting for you to appear somewhere in this world.
- Put me down.- Why?
Put me down!
You scared me to death!
When have you become such a sweet-talker?
What do you mean 'sweet-talker'? I have always been like this.
Then what if I weren't on this world?
I'll see who you'll be waiting for.
Qiu Yan, I don't allow you to say things like that.
If you weren't in this world,
then I'll marry another person!
You! Come here! Don't run!
Come, come!
Just you try!
Godfather, have some tea.
See if my tea-making skills have improved.
What's the use of just knowing how to make tea?
Jun Hao's right of control is gone.
Sorry, Godfather.
It was indeed my fault in that,
making the company lose so much.
I...I feel quite guilty myself.
What's the use in feelings guilty?
Could feelings guilting solve problems, excuse me?
I...I can improve my working tactics.
Godfather, please believe in me.
Lu Feng, Godfather knows
you want to do things really well.
But with only intention and not a plan, nothing can be completed.
To complete big things, you need to rely on this.
Also, you have a lot of drive in your actions, that's good.
But you need to pay attention to details.
Otherwise, you will lose track at the key moment.
You must understand your little flaws.
I think you need to change your flaws, but that can't be done in one or two days.
How about this, Godfather will give you a long holiday.
You should reevaluate, to go on leave without pay.
Godfather, I know...that I didn't do very well this time.
But...but I don't understand why Godfather's expectations became so strict all of a sudden.
Was it...
Did someone say something to you?
Why are you asking so much?
Reevaluate well.
Yes.
Boss, you haven't replied to America's headquarters company, they're getting impatient.
Do you want to call them and explain?
I've already called. After Le Mei's issues have been resolved,
I'll go back to America.
Haven't Miss Le Mei reconciled with her ex-boyfriend?
What else is there for you to resolve?
I want to see her find her love with my own eyes,
to determine that man is worth her giving her life for him.
Then, I could leave reassured.
You should give up already when the person goes with another person,
you still want to find her partner for her?
Boss, you're really the number one infatuation kind under the sky.
Chairman Chu, Miss Chu. Please come in.
- Brother!- Yao Hui.
Tian Xin, you've come too? Take a seat.
Brother, I've brought the contract for you to invest.
Take a look.
Was this contract drafted by Lu Feng again?
No, no. As you've said,
I've lectured him a bit and banished him.
I have always done my work according to trust. As long as you've done as you said,
I will also abide by my promise.
Kai Wen, please calculate for me according to the number on this contract,
how much we need to invest.
You should know what to do for the rest.
Understood.
Brother, do you like photography?
How professional.
Not only professional,
you brother also has those pinhole cameras used for jobs.
Pinhole cameras?
Even if the equipments are any more superior,
without good actors, excellent works can't be made. Isn't that right?
Brother! My Dad's video couldn't have been taken by you, right?
How could you do that?
My Mum has been absolutely uncomfortable because of that,
she's about to become insane.
Good daughter, take a seat.
Don't be impatient, sit.
This wasn't done by your brother.
It was...him.
- Me?- Yes, you.
I already knew there was something wrong with you.
I- I- I...- 'I- I- I-' what?
Don't deny it.
Chairman Chu, I was only doing as I was told.
How would I know that you two, father and son, could forgive and forget it
and have the day when you two talk amiably?
I really am at wrong on both sides now
and are on neither side.
Alright, alright. This is already in the past.
I won't follow up on it.
You have put in an effort in this investment, I'll treat both you and Yao Hui to a meal.
Kai Wen, for my Brother's reputation,
I'll have a meal with you.
Sure.
Yao Hui, it doesn't matter if you don't go when I invite normally.
But with your sister, are you not going to give face either?
Brother.
I originally thought that Zhang Hao Tian was self-contained and not materialistic.
While I was away, he brought his little sister into the company.
Who was he acting uncorrupted for usually?
Whether my Brother is uncorrupted, everyone knows.
Unlike someone, who likes to act pitiful to get people's sympathies.
Only unfortunately, his acting skills are too terrible,
he only has those few tricks.
Song Zi Yang, I'm telling you, Sister Qiu Yan has already seen through you.
She has already decided to give up on you and spend her life with my Brother.
- What did you say?! Say it again! What did you say?!- Let go of me!
What did you say?! I'm asking you! Say it!
What are you doing?! Zi Yang, what are you doing?!
- What's wrong?- I'm fine.
Sister Qiu Yan, hurry and tell me. Tell him that you're engaged to my Brother.
Is what she said true?
You're engaged?
That's right. I've decided to face my own feelings.
Song Zi Yang, look at it clearly.
This is Sister Qiu Yan and my Brother's love token.
You're my fiancée. How could you be engaged to somebody else?
- Take it off! Take it off!- Calm down!- Let go of her!
Zi Yang! Calm down!
Song Zi Yang! This is the office!
Please be more respectful to my Brother's fiancée!
Le Mei, let's go.
Chen Qiu Yan! You're mine!
You only belong to me for the rest of your life!
Zi Yang, I thought something happened.
Isn't it just somebody is going to get married? What's the big deal?
Mum!
The person who is getting married is Qiu Yan.
She was originally my wife. How is this not a big deal?
If you want to talk about big deal, it's when she disappeared from the wedding last time, that's a big deal.
She's destroyed the entire family's face!
But back to the point,
Zi Yang, you're already so grownup, you should already know,
everything is fake in a person's lifetime.
Love is fake, marriage if fake.
Even familial relations-
Apart from Mum and Zi Han, they're all fake.
Only money is real.
It's lucky Mum planned ahead and got Lang Yue Corporation's wealth and property for you.
In reality, with money, everything becomes easy.
For so many years, Mum has worked until her hearts broken for you.
In the future, don't be sad for the woman who doesn't have you in her heart.
Zi Yang!
Hello, Auntie.
In the future, just call me Chairwoman. Don't call me such an endearing address.
Zi Yang, how has you been recently?
I came to visit you purposely today. We haven't chatted in a long time.
Chatted? I think you came to laugh at my son, right?
Auntie, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that.
I really only came to visit Zi Yang.
Tian Xin, I know you're different from your father.
Your father has targeted me continuously, trying to force me into a dead end.
But you kept encouraging and consoling me.
I should definitely thank you.
The things in the past have already passed, don't mention if it's passed.
The things in the past can't be left unmentioned.
Zhang Hao Tian and your Aunt is getting engaged, right?
Auntie, you said...Hao Tian is getting engaged to Aunt?
What? Even you don't know?
This Chen Qiu Yan is quite cunning.
She must knew that you are interested in Zhang Hao Tian,
that's why she hid it from you, lest you hate her.
Auntie- Auntie, you've overthought.
I only think Hao Tian is quite talented.
If he becomes my Uncle, of course I would happily give them my blessings.
Is there need to speak without meaning it?
That Zhang Hao Tian must have become tangled with Chen Qiu Yan
yet he still has a tight grip on you. Even I can see through it.
What kind of person Zhang Hao Tian is, do you still not know?
What's there to be unable to let go of?
Mum, don't continue.
Tian Xin won't feel comfortable with it.
What's there to be upset about?
From what I see, this is a good thing for you.
Mum! Stop targeting Tian Xin in everything, alright? She's innocent.
In the beginning, has Chu Zhen Hua ever had mercy on you?
What are you not satisfied with what I say?
Tian Xin, could I have said something wrong?
Thief! My bag!
Thief!
I'm telling you, I will take care of it for you.
Don't worry.
Qiu Yan, I walked into Tian Xin. Wait a moment.
- Hao Tian?- What's wrong? Why are you so stressed?
My bag got stolen.
Your bag got stolen?
Then are you alright?
I'm fine. Maybe a lot has happened recently,
even the thief could see I was out of it so he came to steal my bag.
Was it because of Luo Shan and your dad?
Everybody in the world knows about it now, right?
Everybody is waiting to laugh at us.
Tian Xin, don't be too upset. It has happened already.
At this time, you should strengthen up.
Don't be so upset like this and worry your mum.
Since something this big has happened, the most upset person should be your mum.
- Hao Tian.- What's wrong?
Nothing. Nothing.
I'll take you to the police. Let's go.
Do you really like my Aunt?
You will really love her unwaveringly for the rest of your life?
Qiu Yan and I have experienced so much,
for us to know how important we are to each other.
From today on, I will work hard to make her even more happier.
To hear you say this, I am so envious of Aunt.
Then will you ignore me in the future?
Tian Xin, why would you say that? I'm not a kid.
Because I'm afraid.
I'm afraid Aunt would misunderstand me.
Don't overthink it.
In the past, when I was in trouble, you were always the first one to stand up and help me.
I will remember that forever.
As long as you're willing, I will always be your best friend.
My Dad has set you up time after time. You won't hate me for that?
Those are two different things. You are you, he is him.
How could you two be one topic?
To hear you say this, I am even more relieved.
But...what to do? To call you Uncle.
Listening to you say that, I also feel it's a bit odd to call me Uncle.
Don't be upset.
Let's go.
Let me ask you, I asked you to think of a way to understand my mother's accident before.
How is it? Is there any improvements?
Boss, I was just about to tell you.
I have been asking around the scene, I've found the witness of the time.
You really found him? What kind of witness?
At that time, the issue was very well-known. Almost every one of the citizens nearby knows about it.
But now, most of them have moved away.
I only found one old woman.
I asked her to describe the basic situation back then.
What did she say?
This is was the record I made.
On the 7th of December, 1987, at 5pm, your mother, Zhang Su Yun
got into an accident. A man named Zhang Yun was the biggest suspect.
Zhou Yang?
Where is he now? Are there records of him being arrested?
The year of the accident, Zhou Yang was still very young. There has been no news since.
It's been twenty odd years now,
- there has never been...- I understand.
Then is Chu Zhen Hua related to this case?
I still haven't got information on that. But, Boss, don't worry,
I will continue investigating.
What do you want?
I just want to explain about what happened that night.
There's no need to explain. Nothing happened that night.
Even if something happened, I don't remember anymore.
You don't to worry about it.
Luo Shan! I'm actually serious about you.
- I think that, maybe-- Can you not be so innocent?
I don't you to be serious to me.
Do you not know I am? I am Chu Zhen Hua's woman.
I'm telling you, I only love Chu Zhen Hua alone.
That night, I drank too much. I really don't remember what happened.
So I ask that you forget that night as well.
I'm warning you, you know what kind of man Chu Zhen Hua is more than I do.
If he knows you touched his woman,
you understand what will happen to you.
Also, I ask that you don't appear near my house anymore.

What? You won't invite me inside?
For you.
For what of mine?
For your abilities to divine the unknown, even knowing when I am home.
Is this a compliment or a mock?
What do you think?
But in reality, I quite admire you. Admire that you're a calculating woman.
That means, then it's my turn to pay respects to you.
For what?
For you being a calculating man,
seducing a calculating woman like me.
Lu Feng, I actually already knew that we're born to be a pair.
Don't worry, I will work hard to help you on the market.
So that one day, you could replace Chu Zhen Hua.
Le Mei?
You're about to be here?
It's fine, it's fine. I'm waiting for you at home.
My girlfriend is coming, hurry and leave.
Let your girlfriend come if she's coming, I don't mind.
I mind even if you don't mind. Hurry and leave!
Why are you pulling me? Can I not see other people?
Luo Shan, help me this one time.
I will cooperate in the future, alright?
- You said it.- I said it.
Leave carefully when you leave. Don't walk into Le Mei.
I got it.
Lu Feng, what are you doing?
I was waiting for you.
Somebody came before?
A woman.
Lu Feng, are you doing something shameful behind me again?
Le Mei, don't overthink.
My insurance manager came to collect my fees.
I have known her for so many years, I only gave her a cup to drink.
Don't lie to me again, Lu Feng!
How have you treated me in the past, I still remember it clearly now.
I only came back to accept you, you should treasure me more!
- You shouldn't have-- Alright!
I think you don't even need to eat dinner tonight,
you keep nagging everyday! Nagging so much you're already full.
What? You don't recognise me?
Come in.

Take a seat.
Luo Shan, everything you do, Chu Zhen Hua already knows.
It's better for you to think of an escape route.
I'm not afraid if he knows.
I only want to be with you right now.
I really don't understand. Don't you know Chu Zhen Hua's temper after being with him for so many years?
Why do you have to follow this path?
Lu Feng, don't get mad.
So you were angry about me going to Chu Zhen Hua's house and scaring his wife?
Do you think I still love Chu Zhen Hua?
That's why you're jealous, right?
Luo Shan, you've overthought.
We're only in a collaborating relationship, there's no jealousy.
Lu Feng, look how righteously you speak.
As if you're not susceptible to a woman's charms.
Actually, I think you have the heart of a thief but not a thief's courage.
Am I one bit attractive to you?
Luo Shan.
Don't think that I don't know what you're trying to do.
Wanting me to fight for a woman with Chu Zhen Hua? You're doing it wrong.
Back and forth, you still care about Chu Zhen Hua.
Then I'll guarantee you, no third person will know about us.
About Chu Zhen Hua, I naturally have a way to cope with him.
Lu Feng, even if we're collaborators,
there are still a lot of ways to cooperate.
Do you want to hear how I coped with Chu Zhen Hua?
Don't blame me for not reminding you,
Chu Zhen Hua has decided to come find you already, I advise you to act a bit more modest.
But since you have a way to cope with Chu Zhen Hua,
I want to hear that.
Then kiss me and I'll tell you.
Hao Tian!
Hao Tian, don't give up yet.
This is only the third bank.
Let's go take a look in another one. We must be able to get a loan.
Qiu Yan, there's no need to console me.
I know how terrible the current situation is.
This bank was a bank that Tian Cheng Corporation always cooperated with,
even they won't loan us. Then other banks will not even more so!
You haven't tried all of them yet, why are you giving up already?
Qiu Yan, the result will be the same whether we try or not, I know that clearly.
I knew it would be like this.
If I can't find the funds,
then every worker in Xin Tian Corporations will face losing their job,
I won't even be able to give them their salary.
By then, I don't even know how to face them.
Hao Tian, I know the company is facing a lot of danger right now.
But I believe determination will make things possible.
We could definitely change this pressure into motivation.
Nobody can defeat you, except yourself.
You said that yourself. I have always remembered it.
Yes, I did say that.
No matter what happens, I will never be defeated.
Alright, I know.
For you to overtake a company full of debt,
it's very pressuring, it's easy to get lost.
It's fine, adjust a bit.
I believe, with your knowledge, you could be free from the company's troubles.
Qiu Yan, thank you.
With you beside me, I have the motivation to continue.
On the day of your birthday next week,
I will definitely give you the most perfect and romantic wedding.
To keep you, the goddess of hope, beside me.
This months performance has been going up continuously.
Chairwoman He, Secretary Yang, long time no see.
Luo Shan? You've done so much things to impact the company's profits, you still have the face to appear.
You're quite thick, how impressive.
What is that worth?
All my tricks were learnt from you, Secretary Yang.
Chairwoman, I have already acknowledged my faults.
In the past, I got hypnotised by Chu Zhen Hua's sweet words,
that's why I would do that kind of thing.
For the time I've been away from the company, I've been reevaluating.
I've realised now that you're still the person I would like to work for the most.
Those are all in the past, why are you bringing it up?
Say it, why did you come today?
Chairwoman, don't rush to reject me just yet.
Look.
What is that?
This voice recording doesn't contain anything normal.
In here are evidence of Chu Zhen Hua's business crimes.
Do you not want it?
Chairwoman, there's no pointless meal in this world.
If you want this present,
you must promise me to defeat Chu Zhen Hua with me.
