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 37
What?
You said all of the banks are unwilling to loan us?
All I've worked hard for this life has been lost like this.
Dad, it's still not time for you to be disappointed now.
I've already gathered all of the company's list of property rights.
With your experience, if we find a suitable chance,
I believe you could turn the tables beautifully.
Hao Tian, I really could not bear to
watch you running around and working frantically outside.
Otherwise, how about you give up the rights of inheritance?
That way, you could perhaps live a relaxed and stressless life.
Dad, what are you talking about?
Tian Cheng Corporation is your life's heart and soul.
No matter what solution we use, we must keep Tian Cheng Corporation,
we will never let you fall.
Hao Tian, I've brought you into this as your father.
At the time, I asked for your biological acknowledgement so that you could inherit my business.
But, what you're inheriting now is not a bunch of wealth,
but a bunch of debt.
How could you say that?
You've also let me gather a lot of valuable things.
When have I given you anything?
You've let me accept a lot of challenges. A person's life is an exploration,
the more one experiences, the more they get.
In each and every one of the challenges, I found my self-worth.
Isn't that a very good thing?
Hao Tian, listening to you say that, I am very happy for you.
Seeing you now is like seeing my young self.
Fearing nothing and no one.
What you're like now is too similar to my young self.
Alright, Dad. Let's not talk about these unhappy things.
I'll tell you a good news, on Qiu Yan's birthday next week,
we've decided that we're going to get engaged.
You- you two are getting engaged next week?
Then...then have you mentioned this to her family? This is a serious issue.
Not yet.
Let me do this. I will personally go to Qiu Yan's house and propose marriage for you.
This is a big issue for the Song family, it must not be done carelessly.
Okay.
It's Chairwoman He.
I heard you've established Lang Yue Corporation. Congratulations.
Did you come to talk about cooperation with me?
Lang Yue Corporation will not dare cooperate with people like you.
Then fine, don't blame me for doing anything to Lang Yue in the future.
It's still unclear who's going to win.
Wen Peng, hurry and take the good thing out. Let's share it with Chairman Chu.
Yes, Madame.
I only made a small adjustment, using that Song Zi Yang as our scapegoat.
The over-loan case will have nothing to do with us from now on.
Zhen Hua, you're too brilliant.
You placed a listening device here?
We don't want to listen to your whispers, but your lover had a card up her sleeve.
- Luo Shan?- Looks like you know her quite well.
But she can't be blamed, who told you to abandon her?
This is karma for the ungrateful.
Don't get too happy just yet, He Min.
Your recording invaded my privacy, do you know?
In law, that's absolutely unacceptable.
Really? It's doesn't matter,
I will need to see if the police thinks the same way as you
and thinks that Long Wei Corporation's Chairman Chu
is completely innocent.
What do you want to do?
It's already to this stage.
Don't you know what I want to do still?
I want to expose your pretentiousness in front of everyone.
Let's see what kind of person Long Wei's leader is.
Chairman Chu.
He Min, listen to me carefully,
the money I invested in Jun Hao Department Store came from selling my property.
If you dare publicise these, we'll see who will be shamed in the end.
You want to threaten me? Do you think I'm a three years-old child?
I'm telling you, Chu Zhen Hua, don't forget,
I'm the person holding your weak spot right now. You're still not begging me to have mercy on you?
I really am not threatening you. Honestly,
if you publicised my things, I will report you for invading my privacy.
I will see which of us are going to laugh until the end.
Really? Sure, we'll see.
Wen Peng, let's go.
Yes.
What Luo Shan has isn't only limited to this.
Dad, thank you for preparing so many presents.
No need to be so polite. We ought to be a bit more generous when personally proposing marriage.
- Dad, Mum.- Hao Tian.
Hao Tian, why did you suddenly decide to come propose marriage today?
Tian Cheng, you're here too. Hao Tian, why didn't you tell dad beforehand?
Ming Shan, don't blame Hao Tian. I was the one determined to come.
I only wanted to help Hao Tian out a bit.
It will be warmer with more people and to show our sincerity.
Dad, it was my oversight for not telling you before this.
I only wanted it to be warmer with more people.
Sure, then let's not say too much.
Let's get on with it.
- Come.- Let's go.
Please.
- Go, go.- Careful.
Why is it dark?
Where are the people?
Qiu Yan!
Uncle, Auntie! You're all here.
Sorry, I went out for a while just then.
Come in quickly.
Qiu Yan, where's your mum? Ask her to come out.
My Mum twisted her ankle.
I sent her to the hospital just then. I was going to notify you guys just then,
but it was too late.
I'm sorry to make you guys come for nothing this time.
Is it serious?
The doctor said he was nothing big, it was like last time.
Maybe she didn't heal completely last time.
I'm telling you, the bones become brittle as a person ages.
It's fortunate she didn't break her bones.
Right, today's marriage proposal counts as a marriage arrangement.
I believe, her foot will heal quickly.
But your mum's unwell and in hospital,
then should Hao Tian and Qiu Yan's marriage be postponed?
I think it shouldn't delay any longer.
This marriage should have been arranged earlier.
I really want to see Hao Tian get married and have children soon.
I'm already impatient just thinking about being able to hold my grandchildren.
But marriage is a person's lifetime's biggest event,
there still should be an elder on Qiu Yan's side, right?
The doctor said that as long as she took her medicine on time, she will be able to walk in a few days, so...
Good, then let's use these few days
to prepare well. What do you say?
Since that's so...
Ming Shan, can I ask for a favour?
Tell me.
I hope you could cooperate with me to organise a token of goodwill for Hao Tian.
I hope to give them both a warm wedding.
You're willing to help Hao Tian organise a wedding is his luck.
Moreover, for Qiu Yan to have you, a big boss, as her father-in-law, she must be proud.
Ming Shan, thank you.
You'e both my dads.
I really hope both of you could help me host the wedding.
I will also do the same and love and respect both of you as my own father.
Look how considerate these two children are,
and their words are so sweet.
Are you two satisfied now?
- Satisfied, satisfied.- Satisfied, satisfied.
Of course we're satisfied.
Dad, where did you go just then?
What's wrong?
Dad, did you go to propose marriage for Zhang Hao Tian?
Mum and Brother have convinced you already, do you still not care about our feelings?
I helped my own son propose marriage,
this is something that can't be changed.
Is there something wrong with that?
Of course it's wrong, very wrong.
Zi Yang, I must help Hao Tian now.
I owe him too much. All I can do for him now,
is only this little thing.
Little thing? You think this is little? Have you ever considered my feelings?
Dad, you knew Chen Qiu Yan and Zhang Hao Tian cooperated to lie to my Brother.
Your doing this is very unfair to my Brother.
Alright, alright. I've already said what I need to say.
I don't want to say anymore.
If you think I'm biased, then think that.
You've finally admitted?
In your heart, there weren't us three already.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have overlooked our words.
I just came back. Every one of you
are berating me and giving me terrible words.
Anyhow, I'm still your husband, your father, right?
What do you see me as now?!
Song Tian Cheng, you place yourself too highly.
If us, mother and children, weren't willing to take you in,
do you think you could be living so lavishly now?
He Min, make it clear,
for this family could continue today, you understand what happened.
You gave me and Hao Tian the companies that are full of debt.
I already acquiesced. If you're going to continue like this,
I won't be able to continue in this house anymore.
Don't you just want to reconcile with that woman?
Your words are becoming harder and harder to listen to.
I've always loved this home and loved my children.
You were the ones who kept brining up a small problem and not accept Hao Tian.
Don't bring up 'love'!
Since Sun Hui Fang and Zhang Hao Tian's appearance, we three haven't been in your heart since!
He Min, if we argue so much every time we see each other,
then I would rather move out, that way I could be more at peace.
Zi Yang, Zi Han, did you both hear?
Your father couldn't let go of the Zhang family, he is the one who wants to move out.
Sure. I'll leave, I'll leave now.
Take care of yourselves.
Mum.
Your father is abandoning us.
- Did you find Luo Shan?- Not yet.
Why?
Godfather, I already tried my best to find her,
but I really don't know where she- where she is.
I told you find a person, you couldn't even find her.
Dad! Dad!
What are you doing?! You couldn't find Luo Shan, why would you hit Lu Feng?!
- Lu Feng, are you alright?- I'm fine.
Dad, aren't you too harsh?
No matter what, Lu Feng has done so much for you, why would you hit him?
He couldn't even find a person, what's the point of raising him?!
Why are you looking for Luo Shan?
You need to reevaluate yourself for the things you did. Is there a point in avenging others?
You're lecturing me?!
Did I say something wrong?!
Go back to work! I don't have time for you!
Let's go, Lu Feng. Don't mind him.
He's not in a good mood, let's go.
Luo Shan, He Min.
Do you think you could defeat me when you cooperate together?
Just you wait!
Timing and Subtitles by The Ladder Of Love Team@Viki
Did you wait a long time for me?
It's worth waiting for you no matter how long it takes.
When have you learn to sweet-talk this skilfully?
Weren't you unable to leave me because you fell for that trick of mine?
You're the one who couldn't leave me, right?
Didn't you say on the phone, that you couldn't not have me now?
Women like you are a delight to not have.
I really regret my blind eyes fell for you in the beginning.
Didn't I learnt all these from you?
I would need to thank you.
Didn't you tel me, you must leave an escape route in everything you do?
Do I still not understand you after being with you for so long?
Zhen Hua, did you say you had something to say?
Alright, I think you have the heart this time but not enough energy.
Then let's meet again next time.
Dad. Come.
Dad, it was too rushed.
There was no way to find a house as big as your original house.
But this house is clean and tidy enough,
so please accept it for now.
This is already good enough.
I finally know now, a house doesn't need to be big,
neither does it need good renovation.
The most important thing is familial relationships,
it's a family's warmth and care.
But I understand that too late,
that's why I am so lonely now.
Dad, don't say that. You still have me.
Otherwise, move to live at my house. That way, I could take care of you easier.
How could that be fine? Although the grudge between Ming Shan and me have been resolved,
but for us to live under the same roof, how awkward it would be to see each other everyday?
It's fine. Don't you worry about me.
I'm living alone now, I can do what I like.
How free.
Dad, actually, you don't want them to know of your current situation,
and don't want them to pity you, right?
The me in the past, only knows to work and earn money.
I did a lot of things I shouldn't have done,
that's how I came to be how I am today.
The public's hate for me and my family left.
This is all karma.
Dad, don't say that.
Lu Feng's parents' deaths
have already covered a hard to remove shadow over my heart.
Living here now, it suddenly reminds me of when their family lived together.
My heart is filled with guilt.
Hao Tian, how about you contact Lu Feng for me?
I want to apologise to him personally, to admit to my wrongs.
I don't agree with your doing that.
In the past, you've repented to him but it was useless.
I'm afraid that it would be hard for him to accept it after a short while only.
So, wait a bit more.
I think that there will definitely be a chance for compensation in the future.
What I owe the Lu family
needs to be resolved sooner or later.
Alright, Hao Tian, you've been busy for the whole day.
You should be tired, right? Go back and rest.
I'll get some peacefulness for myself.
Sure, Dad. Then I'll go back first.
Okay.
Dad, don't ever go find Lu Feng now.
Okay, I got it.
Timing and Subtitles by The Ladder Of Love Team@Viki
To the loving,Father Lu Guo QinMother Wang Bao Chuan
Dad, Mum.
This is the new tombstone from me.
I'm really about to be unable to continue on.
Can you guys tell me, what I should do?
- Hello?- Lu Feng?
I'm Song Tian Cheng.
Song Tian Cheng?
What do you from me?
About your parents' issue,
I'm really sorry. I'm really apologetic to them.
I feel very regretful from my heart.
Regretful? If you want to repent,
then come to my parent's grave immediately and apologise!
Okay, I'll go there now.
- Shouldn't this be put here?- It's a bit broken.
It's fine.
- Hao Tian, you're back?- Hao Tian.
You've finished helping Chairman Song move?
He's living alone now, whether in meals or his daily life,
he has nobody to take care of it. It's inconvenient, right?
Hao Tian, give us his new address.
This way, Hui Fang, when we have free time,
we could help him get it together. What do you think?
Sure, let's go later then.
But just then, he kept telling me to go home.
I am now suspecting, whether he went to Lu Feng.
Why is he looking for Lu Feng?
Doesn't he know how much Lu Feng hates him?
He keeps thinking he's owing the Lu family.
I think since he moved,
he's a bit weird here.
What does this Chairman Song want to do?
This is bad, he wouldn't be too pessimistic about it
and went to Lu Feng to resolve it?
Lu Feng.
Mr Lu, Mrs Lu, sorry.
I know, in the past,
I have committed an unforgivable crime.
So I came here to repent to you.
Please forgive me.
Kneel!
Song Tian Cheng! That year, you forced my parents to their deaths,
do you think, just by standing here and saying a few meagre apologies,
that my parents will forgive you?!
Lu Feng, I know,
I made an unforgivable mistake that year.
But I came to sincerely apologise to them today.
Dad, Mum, do you see?
The person kneeling in front of you, is the murderer who killed you that year, Song Tian Cheng!
Mr Lu, Mrs Lu. It was my fault that year.
I should die, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
Stop trying to act pitiful!
Look at what an embarrassment you are.
No wonder your wife wants to separate with you, your children don't want to acknowledge you either.
Your family is now broken into pieces,
your Tian Cheng Corporation's rumours
are on the newspapers' headlines everyday.
Do you know what this is called? This is karma.
You're right.
This is my karma. It's my karma.
What will happen, will happen. It can't be hidden from.
Lu Feng, I hope you could give me a chance to repent.
Tell me, what should I do for you to be satisfied?
Satisfied?
Song Tian Cheng, you forced my parents to die that year.
Do you think you one word of apology could dissolve all of the grudges throughout the years?
I'm telling you, it's impossible.
Okay. Okay. If you want me to die with no other choice,
for you to be able to resolve the grudges you hold in your heart,
then I'm willing to die in your hands now.
Song Tian Cheng, don't force me. Do you think I won't?!
If...if with my life,
it could exchange for you three's friendship,
could exchange for your sincerity to Le Mei,
then I will die contently.
Fine, I-!
Song Tian Cheng, you want to die? It's not that easy.
I will torture you slowly.
Doctor, how's his current condition?
It's very pessimistic. Apart from Mr Song's body being covered in injuries,
his left knee's ligament has been severely torn.
What to do?
I will call and notify Zi Yang.
Hao Tian...
Dad, Dad!
Hao Tian...
You've finally woken.
- It's good that he's awake.- Yes.
Chairman Song, are you alright?
- I'm fine.- You still say you're fine?
You've been beaten near death, you still say you're fine?
I'm not scolding you, you knew how much Lu Feng hates you, why did you go to him?
Look, you've become like this.
I...
Dad, don't speak!
It's better for you to rest well.
It doesn't matter.
Ming Shan...
What I'm thinking now, you should understand well.
Lu Feng would become like this today
was my fault. This was all done by me.
Dad.
People like me, being alive is too extra.
I should repent and clear my sins.
- Hao Tian...- Dad.
Don't blame Lu Feng anymore.
I deserve this, I need to undergo what I did.
If...this way,
Lu Feng could dissolve the hatred in his heart,
I hope you could forgive him more,
treat him as your good brother again.
- Please?- Dad.
Dad, don't say anymore.
Hurry and rest well.
Timing and Subtitles by The Ladder Of Love Team@Viki
You're still not asleep?
I was thirsty, I wanted to get a drink.
Come sit and chat with me.
It seems we haven't sat and chatted for a long time.
You never was a considerate husband.
But you've always been a good wife, keeping good order for the Chu family.
Taking good care of this family,
but I couldn't keep a hold on your heart.
I am still a failure of a wife.
In these ten odd years, for my career,
I kept neglecting you and Tian Xin.
I understand in my heart, your hard work was for this family,
for us, mother and daughter.
So, even if the days are any harder, any lonelier, I'm still willing to tolerate.
You know that.
Zhen Hua, for us to live our days in peace,
how about...
I'll help you fulfil it.
What nonsense are you saying? How could I divorce you?
Especially for that woman.
Zhen Hua, if you still have me in your heart, could you listen to me?
Let it go. Stop fighting with that kind of person.
The truth has proven, using violence against violence will not solve anything,
it would only bring a bigger pain.
It's not that I want to fight with them, they don't want to give up.
Luo Shan and He Min both will not have mercy on me.
Are you willing to see them riding on my neck?
Otherwise, go discuss wit He Min?
Impossible. How could I go discuss with her?
Then how about I go talk with her?
We're both woman, we're both mothers and wives,
perhaps she would be willing to listen to me.
It's useless for you to go too, she won't listen to you.
How would you know the outcome without trying first?
How about, let me go try it?
Alright, today's meeting will end here.
Mum!
Mum, did you say that we came to discuss a plan?
Neither of you are focused, there's no point in discussing this plan.
Mum, we- we were actually thinking...
I know. You're both worried about your father.
If you want to go to the hospital, I will not stop you.
Really?
Th-thank you, Mum.
Let's go.
Mum, how about we all go together?
I still have something to do, you guys go.
Zi Yang, Zi Han. Long time no see.
It would be better to not see ever again. Those who sees your family gets bad luck.
Zi Han, don't be so mannerless.
Li Na, come take a seat.
He Min, I came here today to treat you to a meal and have a chat.
I'm thinking this is a banquet?
Zhen Hua said, he is treating you to whatever you want to eat.
So you came to to speak for Chu Zhen Hua.
Li Na, your husband is giving money to a mistress outside.
Not only do you not hate him, you're still speaking for him.
You're really a kind mother and wife.
All in all, we're really sincere
and want to resolve this issue.
Sincere? If you were really sincere,
then why didn't Chu Zhen Hua come personally?
He Min, I believe your thinking is the same as mine.
We both want to protect our own family,
protect our husband and children.
Even if Zhen Hua did something wrong, he's still my husband.
You speak as if you're really great.
Li Na, you're too weak,
that's why Luo Shan got on top of your head and made trouble at your house,
so that you get no peace.
If it was me, I would have reported her already.
Mum, Chu Zhen Hua is so bad,
how would Auntie Xia be brave enough to report him?
If Luo Shan was fine but Chu Zhen Hua was the one who got caught,
then won't Auntie Xia won't lose more than she bargained for?
I know. Everything was Zhen Hua's wrongdoing.
He Min, I still want to ask you once,
could you cancel the media meeting?
Please don't push Zhen Hua onto the road of dead end.
But Chu Zhen Hua has pushed me onto the road of dead end.
Cancel the media meeting? No way.
Zi Yang, walk Auntie Xia out.
Auntie, this way please.
Lu Feng! Get up!
Let me ask you, how much advantange did you take from Chu Zhen Hua?
You've become so inhumane.
You were about to make Song Tian Cheng handicapped, do you know?
What rights do you have to judge me?
That year, you were being cunning with Song Tian Cheng,
what good things have you done with Song Tian Cheng?
Lu Feng, can you wake up?
You will ruin your future like this and pay the price sooner or later!
Look at yourself now, do you still have a bit of humaneness?
So what if I'm inhumane? This was originally a world where the weak is eaten by the strong.
I believe, as long as I'm more brutal than others,
as long as I'm more cruel than others, the victor will be me in the end!
Lu Feng, I don't know why you would become so extreme.
You're not listening to anything I say anymore.
From what I see, you won't understand if I don't beat you to your senses!
Hit me.
Hit me!
I admit, I'm old, I am not your opponent.
Zhang Ming Shan, Lu Feng is working for me willingly.
What are you doing, pointing fingers and making judgements?
Did you hear? Long Wei doesn't welcome you. Please leave.
This room of yours,
I feel dirty even if I stay here a minute more.
Lu Feng, I heard Song Tian Cheng's legs are crippled.
Is this true?
It-it's not entirely true, he fell.
That's good. No matter what,
you helped avenge your parents.
How are you feeling?
It'll get better in a few days.
Dad! Dad!
Dad.
- Dad.- Dad, are you alright?
Zi Han, Zi Yang, you guys are here.
Dad, what happened to you?
You've only left home for a few days and you've already become like this.
Silly child. Don't be sad, dad is fine.
What do you mean fine?
Your legs are already broken, you still say you're fine?
Zhang Hao Tian, how did you take care of my father?
Zi Yang, don't blame Hao Tian anymore.
If you're really considering for me,
then listen to me.
After this time,
dad thinks life is full of ups and downs.
But I really hope to be able to see you two,
as close as in the beginning.
Dad, what are you saying?
You will be able to live a long life.
Dad, you're still protecting Zhang Hao Tian now.
If it weren't for him, would our family have become like it is now?
Since you're here, then spend some good time with Chairman Song.
Dad, why were you so careless?
How could this have happened?

Come, Le Mei. Take a seat.
What's wrong? You've been so our of it recently.
Nothing.
I heard your brother say, you've reconciled with Lu Feng?
Since you've reconciled, why are you still so upset?
Le Mei.Believe me, I love you too much
that's why I'm doing this.
You will understand me, right?
Also, we've been together for so long, you also don't want to leave me, right?
Everything is from my sincerity. The skies and earth will witness.
Lu Feng picked on you?
Le Mei, what really happened?
Say something, Le Mei!
Lu Feng and I...we...
- You guys...?- We...
What happened between you guys? Say it.
Lu Feng and I have already been together.
But I really don't know,
how I should tell my brother.- You guys...!
What did you say?
What did Lu Feng do to you again?
Didn't I tell you already that I don't wish for you two to come into contact again?
Le Mei, you've been with Lu Feng, why didn't you tell us earlier?
How do you want me to say it?
It is because you don't know how to say it, so you would rather hide it?!
Hao Tian, don't get impulsive yet, listen to her first.
Le Mei is already really upset now.
She is upset, but my heart hurts more!
Le Mei, you know since young,
how our family have loved you, how we've protected you,
how stressed we become when you've suffered even a bit.
But why couldn't you protect yourself well?
