- Episode 15 -
How is it? Looks good, right?
What are you doing? What are you taking pictures of?
Stop taking pictures! Stop taking pictures!
I finally get to see you dress like a woman. Can't I take pictures?
How could you do this in front of me?
Xiao Qin, let me explain. We... Say something!
- You drank too much, let me take you home. - Hey, hey.
I'm also drunk. Why are you taking her home, but not me?
Because... Because we are just friends. Isn't that so?
- Let's go. Change your clothes. Xiao Qin. - So hot...
- Can you help her change? Don't take it off here. Go inside. - Okay, okay.
Take it slow.
It hurts so much!
She's going into premature labor. Take her to the operating room now.
It hurts so much!
Doctor, does my daughter have appendicitis?
How could you be so clueless? Your daughter is going to give birth soon.
What?
Give birth to a child?
[Golden Thread Embroidery]
She's still not picking up?
She disappeared without a word. I only told her to memorize a few thousand embroidery threads.
Did such a minor task scare her away?
Yu Xin went to the performance with Mom during the day. She didn't seem emotionally upset.
Don't worry.
I'll contact her tomorrow then.
I still have a piece of embroidery painting that I need to rush out. I'm going back to work now.
Work is important, but you should also rest when you need to.
I know.
What is it?
Nothing.
Let's go.

What crime did I commit in my last life?
It wasn't easy for me to raise my daughter to become an adult.
I thought she would live a good life
but why is her life is just as bitter as mine?
My pitiful Yu Xin...
What difficulties did you encounter these years?
What kind of people did you meet?
How did you suddenly...
How did you suddenly get pregnant
and come home to deliver your baby?
Who is the child's father?
Where is the child's father?
Why didn't I know about this?
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die! I deserve to die!
We are here. Where is your key?
Is it in your bag?
You didn't bring your keys and you made me take you here. You are not going home tonight?
My mom said she won't let me go back home.
Stop talking nonsense. Would a mother not let her own daughter come home?
- Huh? - I want to drink water.
- Huh? - I'm thirsty.
- I want to drink water. - I know. Sit here first.
- I want to drink water. - Here, sit.
I want to drink water.
Here. Wear this.
Don't get lost. Wait here, I'm going to look for water.
Guo Guo?
Guo Guo? Why are you sitting here?
Teacher.
You drank?
Why did you drink so much?
Let's go. I'm taking you home.
My mom said... I can't go back home.
- I can't go home. - Your mother...
Stay at my place tonight. Okay?
Let's go. You drank so much.
You reek of alcohol. How could a girl be like this?
- Take it slow. - Teacher, where is your home?
- To the left. Over there. - There?
Slow down.

Lawyer Li, do you want to eat Guo Guo? ("Guo Guo" means "fruit")
What's going on?
This can't be real.
It definitely can't. I'm dreaming.
I must be dreaming.
Lawyer Li, this cute Guo Guo wants to be eaten by you.
Do you want to try it?
Which "Guo Guo" are you talking about?
What do you think?
Could this be real?
Okay then.
What are you doing here?
Why can't I be here?
Did you forget that yesterday we...
What happened yesterday?
Yesterday, the three of us all drank too much.
So I rushed here to see you early this morning. Good thing you're the only one here.
I thought Zhang Guo Guo would be here, too.
She's not here?
I've already prepared your work clothes.
And also your shoes. I left them at the door. Aren't I great?
You are great.
Yun Kai, you don't like Guo Guo, right?
- Of course, I don't. - Then, I'll delete the pictures.
Hey, don't delete them!
Didn't you say you don't like her? Why would you keep them?
I'm only helping you.
According to the constitution and civil laws, citizens have a right to privacy and publicity.
You can't simply delete anything on other people's cellphones.
I'm stopping you from becoming a criminal.
Do I really like Ramen-Head?

Go in.
This child...
You really don't love your own body.
You're rushing out of the hospital right after giving birth.
Postnatal care is the most fragile time for women.
What if you catch a disease? What will happen to you in the future?
Mom, don't say any more.
Can you make it stop crying?
It's abnormal for a newborn to not cry.
You're scared that other people will hear?
You child... You've always been stubborn,
but giving birth to a child is such a major thing. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Mom, don't say any more.
I didn't even prepare any food for postnatal care.
I'm going to buy red dates and millet now.
I'm going to buy a chicken to cook soup to boost your health.
Watch the child.
Baby. Baby.
Do you know that you shouldn't have come into this world?
I can't give you a good life.
You are so clueless.
Does your head still hurt?
- Hello. - Going out?
- You are not allowed to drink that much in the future. Understand? - I know.
Mom, I'm back.
Why's there a child here? Hi.
Why are you two here?
Mom, where did you get this child?
Did Yu Xin leave just like that?
My pitiful daughter.
Mom, don't just stand there. Where did this baby come from?
Say something.
This child... I picked it up.
When I was sleeping, I heard a baby crying outside.
When I looked outside, someone had left this child at our doorstep.
I saw the baby crying so pitifully and I carried her here.
Now I don't know what to do.
Her parents are too cruel. How could they just abandon their baby?
So pitiful.
Did you really pick up the child?
When have I ever lied to you?
What is this?
Chicken soup?
- Why did you make chicken soup so early in the morning? - It's...
- For the child to drink. - For the child to drink?
The baby can't drink chicken soup. It's so greasy. How could she drink it?
Yes, I was too panicky. Since I made it, Guo Guo can drink it.
It has been tough for her to take care of the shop for the past two days.
Ai Yu, why do I feel like you're acting strange today?
I've been too tired these few days.
Teacher, look how cute she is.
We're so close already. Why must you walk me out?
- You rarely come to visit me. - It's okay. You can just see me off from here.
I still feel that you're being a little strange today.
- I'm leaving. - Take care, Xiu Hua.
Yu Xin. Yu Xin.
Where did she go?
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin, you just gave birth and your body is still weak.
What if you fall sick? Yu Xin.
Pitiful Yu Xin.
People say that after a woman gets married,
she can only enjoy some good days when she's pregnant.
After that, she's left with a lifetime of hard work.
But as for you,
you couldn't live any good days. You gave birth to a child in a muddle.
Mom, forget me.
Don't cry for someone like me. Moreover, don't pity me.
I'm not a good daughter.
I'm sorry.
After I'm gone, I wish you good health
and a good life. Goodbye.
Mom, look at this baby. She is very pretty.
Her parents must be good looking, too.
If I look carefully, she looks rather similar to Yu Xin,
but who is the father?
Who did you just give a message for? The Yu Xin that you mentioned, is it Zhang Yu Xin?
Could it be him?
He looks quite cultured, but he has an unfortunate aura about him.
How could Yu Xin conceive a child with such a person?
Yu Xin's life is really bitter.
She is too cute. I can't bear to leave her.
Let's do this. You stay home and take care of this baby.
I will help out in the wonton shop.
Take care of what?
- We'll take her to the orphanage in the afternoon. - Mom.
Why don't we do this? I will go with you in the afternoon.
Let's also prepare some clothes for her.
When you are done delivering the takeouts, we will go together.
- You must wait for me. - Don't worry.
Go now.
- Take care of her. - Okay.
Baby, I'm sorry.
We are not meant to be. I don't have a choice, either, granddaughter.
For your mom's sake,
I can only send you away.
Here's your wonton.
Guo Guo, I don't eat parsley.
Sorry, I was in a rush and I forgot. I will take them out for you.
- It's okay. - Sorry about that.
Thanks.
She delivered the wonton and she's even picking out the parsley for him?
Why don't you just feed him instead?
It's done. I'm really very sorry.
- Here's your wonton. - I don't eat parsley.
Didn't you use to eat these? Pick them out on your own.
Why aren't you picking them out for me?
Why should I do that?
You picked them out for him but not for me. Why is there a double standard?
I'm not eating this. This wonton is sour.
I just cooked this in the morning. How could it be sour?
Did you eat too much vinegar today? That's why everything you eat is sour.
I don't care. It's sour if I say it is. Take it away. I'm not eating.
If you won't eat it, fine. I'm taking it away, but I won't refund your money.
Why aren't you refunding it? You are unreasonable.
Sue me then, Lawyer Li.
Okay, leave it here then. I will throw it away. Leave.
If you eat it, you are a dog.
Mom, I'm home. I bought toys and clothes for the baby.
Mom?
Hello, this is Xiao Yue's Wontons.
Hospital?
Okay, I will go there now.
- What are you doing? - I should be asking you the same question.
Tell me, are you trying to rob women?
I think you're trying to feign injury.
Hey.
I have some urgent matters. Can I get a lift from you?
You want a lift from me?
It's negotiable, but...
what will I benefit from this?
Benefit?
You dare to ask about benefit?
I'm personally giving you a lift there. This is express delivery from a hottie. Shouldn't a fare be required?
Fare?
Okay then. Come here.
Let me do it.
Come here.
Take a seat.
Close your eyes.
Keep them shut.
Don't open your eyes.
Keep it shut. Don't open your eyes.
Yes?
- Where did you go the whole of last night? - Teacher, sorry.
It was my father's death anniversary yesterday.
Even though he only took care of me for a few days, but as a filial daughter...
Teacher, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
I understand.
No matter how urgent embroidery work is,
it can't be compared to the death anniversary of a family member.
Yu Xin,
why is your face so pale?
- Are you sick? - No. It's just that...
I didn't sleep well last night. I will be fine after I have rested more today.
Are you hiding something from me?
How could that be?
I have never hidden anything from you.
What are these then?
How could an unmarried girl have antiabortifacient and pregnancy information booklets?
This is-- Actually...
When I took you to the hospital last time, I already felt very strange.
Why did you suddenly bleed so much? Yu Xin,
if you still regard me as your teacher,
you better tell me the truth.
- Are you pregnant? - No.
Frankly, I'm reading this because of Lisa Wu.
Lisa Wu?
Before the competition, in order to better understand Lisa Wu,
I visited her.
I didn't expect her to be pregnant.
That's why I bought these booklets and supplements
to understand more about what a pregnant woman needs
to customize a more suitable cheongsam for her.
Are you telling the truth?
At the closing of the Film Festival, Lisa Wu will announce her shotgun marriage.
But for the time being, she requested that
I don't tell anyone about it. That's why I didn't say anything.
Regarding this... you should have discussed this with me first.
For an unmarried girl to buy these maternity things,
others will misunderstand you.
Sorry, Teacher.
I didn't think it through carefully. I won't do this again in the future.
But I feel happy about what you just told me.
Why would you be happy about this?
You misunderstood me. It made me feel that
you care about me. That's why you observed these details.
Teacher, your blame towards me is like a mother scolding her child.
It makes me feel happy inside. That's why I didn't say it.
Even when ordinary guests are in my house, I take special care of them.
Even more so when we are in a teacher-student relationship.
You should focus more on embroideries.
Also, Golden Thread Embroidery will get more busy.
If you have any matters again, you must tell me in advance.
You must not go missing suddenly again. Understand?
Okay, Teacher. I understand.
Some new supplies are coming in today, so I need to work. If you don't feel well, have an early rest.
Teacher,
I would like to go with you to embroider. No matter how hard it is, I still want to do it.

This is a premature baby, right?
Probably so.
- When she was born, did you give her a hearing test? - What test?
Based on our preliminary test,
the child has congenital hearing impairment.
- Also, she has an inflammation. That's why she has a fever. - What?
Hearing impairment?
When you were pregnant with her, did you take antibiotics or alcohol?
Doctor, I don't quite understand.
How could you be so irresponsible?
Don't you know what you should and shouldn't do when you are pregnant?
Doctor, you are mistaken.
We found this baby. We originally wanted to take her to the orphanage
but she fell sick. That's why we brought her here for a check-up.
Okay, fine. She is considered to be lucky to survive, considering that she is a premature baby.
In the future, you must take her for regular check-ups.
If you don't do it regularly, this child may have a language impairment for life.
Language impairment?
Doctor, please cure this child.
Hospital treatment is very important, but her parents must cooperate.
Normally, observe the child's conditions. Patient care is also a must.
The child is still young. When she's five years old, take her to a big hospital for a thorough surgery.
Otherwise, her hearing abilities will be damaged for life.
I understand, Doctor.
Little baby, don't worry.
I will definitely cure you.
Even if I must spend my entire fortune, I can't allow you to be disabled. Poor child.
Yu Xin, bad news. The child is sick.
Nonsense. She was doing well in my belly. How could she be sick?
I don't know, either.
The doctor said it's because she's a premature baby,
so she has defects. If not treated soon,
she will never be able to talk and hear. What should we do?
Brat, are you crazy?
The child has a fever. How could you give her a bath? What if her fever worsens?
The doctor said to find ways to lower her temperature.
I looked in child care books. Warm baths can lower the fever.
Why haven't I heard of that before? Don't baths make fevers worse?
Auntie, Guo Guo is telling the truth.
This method really helps lower fevers.
Please watch the child for me. I'll go get a thermometer and take her temperature again.
Okay.
When the mother of this child was pregnant,
she probably didn't take good care of her body. That's why the child is so sick.
Maybe she's like her mother, and has a naturally-weak physique. If this is true,
she'll get sick every month.
Like her mother? You know who her mom is?
I haven't seen her mom before. I'm only just guessing.
She heartlessly abandoned such a cute baby. She'll surely get retribution.
Stop talking nonsense.
Her mom must have had no other choice.
Separating mother from daughter is the most painful thing on earth.
Maybe the mother has a worse life than the child.
Such dead end situations rarely exist.
No matter how difficult, she should take care of her own baby.
If she didn't want the baby, why did she give birth to her in the first place?
I don't care any more.
How can we do this? Since we picked her up, what will happen to her if we can't be bothered?
Tell me, what we should do then?
Mom, there are two of us. When you're selling wontons, I'll change her diapers.
When I'm delivering takeout, you can feed her. We'll take turns, okay?
Look at how old I am. Am I going to be her mother?
If the neighbors find out, I will be a laughing stock.
I'm here. I can be her mother and you can be her grandmother.
Are you really willing to be her mother?
Yes. Why not?
That's right. To outsiders, she is Guo Guo's child.
Then, nobody will know Yu Xin's her mother.
Since she is my biological granddaughter, I must keep her by my side
and take good care of her.
Guo Guo, I'll have to ask you to suffer once more.
Mom, why are you staring at me?
Are you really willing to take good care of her?
You must not regret what you have said.
Of course, I won't regret.
Starting from today, you are my daughter. You are Zhang Guo Guo's daughter.
My opinion is still more conservative.
You're a young, single girl, but you suddenly have a baby.
What should others think of you?
Teacher, whenever I see this child, I feel unexplanable intimacy towards her.
I can't even bear to leave her. Moreover, her parents cruelly abandoned her.
I can't be just as heartless.
Guo Guo, raising a child isn't that easy. Plus, your mom would never agree.
This time, my mom agreed very easily, although she's typically cold-hearted.
I don't know why, either.
- Your mom agreed? - Yes.
She hates troubles, yet she agreed?
Maybe she thinks our Le Tong is too cute.
- Le Tong? - Yes.
That's what I named her. I hope she can grow up healthily and happily. ("Le Tong" means "happy child")
Your ordered wontons.
Why'd it come so late? I'm starving to death.
What are you doing?
What?
"Defendant Zhang Guo Guo stole another person's property
with the goal of illegal possession."
"This action violates the law of the People's Republic of China."
What does this mean? Why am I suddenly accused of a crime?
You stole my electric bike and left me halfway. Is this not stealing other people's property?
Is your heart really the size of a sesame?
Fine, fine. I'll treat you to this bowl of wonton.
That won't do. You need to treat me for at least a year.
A year? That is robbery!
The accuser demands that the charged defendant pays ¥1,002 for loss of wages
and ¥5074.48 for emotional damages.
Fine, fine. Consider me unlucky. A year? Fine.
Hey, I'm not done speaking. Why are you rushing to leave?
I'm not as inhumane as you think. I'll introduce a business to you.
What business? If it's illegal, I won't do it.
Next month is the Firm Legislative Summit.
In order to thank our frequent customers, our law firm decided to order a batch of embroidered, custom-made ties.
Not just one or two ties.
At least three hundred ties. So? That's enough to earn you big bucks, right?
Three hundred ties?
Three hundred ties.
Really?
Jerk Lawyer, you're such a loyal friend.
- In the future, just tell me any flavor of wontons you'd like to eat. I promise. - Let go!
Let go! You smell like wontons. Also,
stop calling me Jerk Lawyer in front of so many people.
Moreover, I'm so handsome. I don't look like a jerk.
Right?
Stupid Guo Guo. Where did she go? She took the child back,
and leaves her to me. Yet she says she'll be the mother.
Where did you go, stupid girl? Didn't say you'd be her mother?
Why'd you leave her to me? Hurry and come back
What? It's you.
Okay, okay. I'll go.
Mom, why is she always crying? Make her stop.
Such a young child doesn't understand anything.
She cries when she's hungry, tired, cold, or uncomfortable.
This is her only method of expressing emotion.
You, on the other hand...
You just gave birth and your body is fragile. Why did you come back?
It's all because I was worried. I knew you'd be like this.
Didn't I tell you to take her to the orphanage? Why's she still with you?
So loud. All she does is cry. Are all children like this?
No. You rarely cried as a child.
This child didn't grow well in the womb,
she's lacking nutrients, and she was born prematurely.
A few days ago, she caught a cold.
She must be crying now because she's missing her mom. She hasn't had her mom's breast milk yet.
Enough. Such a young infant doesn't understand anything.
How would she know what "mother" means?
Give the child to me.
Hold the head.
Look at her. After drinking the breast milk, she stopped crying.
She's so happy. She must know you're her mom.
Little baby,
this was my first time feeding you, and also the last.
You must behave. Blame fate for separating us.
Alright. Don't mention this child to me in the future.
Oh, right. Does Zhang Guo Guo know the child's mother?
Guo Guo, that foolish girl, would never think it'd be you.
You still must be careful. You can't let her know.
I'm leaving now.
Yu Xin.
I'm sorry, Yu Xin.
I can't listen to you this time.
I really regret
not keeping you by my side when you were young.
Otherwise... Otherwise, you wouldn't be like this.
[Abroad Express]
[Lu Si Chen's Lawyer]
Didn't I say not to bother me about Lu Si Chen again?
Miss Zhang Yu Xin, Lu Si Chen's father passed away.
Why all of a sudden?
After hearing his son was in jail, he was shocked and died from a cerebral hemorrhage.
My litigant already agreed to the divorce. Can you fulfill your original promise and cooperate with the out-of-court mediation?
This is the only way he can attend his father's funeral.
No. Out-of-court mediation was fine previously,
but now his father passed away. What if he blames everything on me?
What if he's released and wants revenge against me?
I'm sorry. I'm very busy right now. I have to hang up.
Lu Si Chen, I'm sorry.
Let's end this way. I hope you can disappear from my life forever.
No, if I stay here, they'll eventually find me.
How was it? We've already divorced. She must have dropped the lawsuit. Can I leave now?
Mr. Lu, don't be anxious yet. Sit down first. Stay calm.
What exactly is going on? Has my dad's condition gotten better?
I'm really sorry. Actually, I'm here today to tell you
that your father's emergency treatment last night was ineffective.
How could this be? Say something!
Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for your loss. I'll try to think of other solutions to bail you out.
She's still unwilling to drop the lawsuit?
Yes.
She's doing this on purpose!
