- Episode 19 -
Teacher,
I just went to see Zhang Guo Guo to persuade her to leave Golden Thread Embroidery.
I told her that if she stays, she'll deepen the conflict between you and Grandma.
I also told her that I will recommend a new embroidery workplace for her to train at.
What did she say?
She said that since she's already here, she won't give up that easily.
She wants to use Golden Thread Embroidery as a stepping stone to later reach the peaks of the embroidery industry.
She is really presumptuous. She is so young and she's already so ambitious.
She is very shrewd.
Before, you said that I was suspicious. This now proves that my instinct was correct.
She passed your test, so she must have her strengths.
Furthermore, Mom also acknowledged her as her apprentice. It doesn't make sense to kick her out without any reason.
Zhang Guo Guo said the same thing, too. She even said that
the granddaughter of the Jin family has been gone for so long. She might even be dead
and probably won't be found.
Teacher,
I'm your apprentice and not your biological daughter.
She is Grandma's apprentice. Grandma thinks very highly of her. Perhaps,
she may become the successor of Golden Thread Embroidery.
Who does she think she is?
I'm going to tell Mom to never allow her to step into Golden Thread Embroidery.
Teacher,
if you go look for Grandma right now, she will be more unhappy.
How about I become close to her and try to slowly persuade her?
Teacher, don't worry. I will try to persuade Grandma even harder.
I won't allow her to take advantage of us.
This is a good idea, too.
Yu Xin, you just came back from overseas. We should welcome you home properly.
What do you want to eat tonight?
Sorry. When I just got off the plane, Director Li of Strong Group called me.
He wanted to discuss some matters with me tonight. I didn't think much about it and agreed.
Since you have an appointment, we'll eat another day.
Isn't that the car from before? It followed me all the way here?
My guess was right. I won't let you succeed.
How do you drive?
Sorry about that!
It's Jerk Lawyer.
I accidentally didn't see you. Let me check the dent.
Look at the dent in my car.
About this... I'm sorry. It was my fault.
What's the use of apologizing? Let's report it to the police.
Don't do that! There is no need to report it to the police. It's just a minor matter!
- Look-- - Jerk!
- Why did you kick me? - What's wrong with kicking you?!
Five years ago, you left without a word. Do you know how sad Xiao Qin was and how much she cried?
- You piece of scum! I'm going easy on you by just hitting you. - Don't you see I'm busy? There's a car accident!
Miss, is the rascal really scum?
That's right. Let me tell you, this kind of guy
specializes in seducing young and innocent girls. Once he has charmed them, he runs away.
Let me tell you. This guy is the scum of Zhenhu!
Scum! I hate scum like you! You are an embarrassment to men!
- Young lady, we'll support you. We'll punish him however you want! - That's not it...
Let me think about it. Then, hold up a sign that says "I'm scum"
and post this on social media like Weibo and Tieba to apologize to Xiao Qin.
Are you crazy?
Are you not willing? He's not willing.
- Not willing? - Call the police.
- Don't! Big-Big Brother. - Hey!
- Are you crazy? I got into a car accident. How is this related to you? - Don't speak to me.
What are you doing now?
Friend, this is my cellphone number.
If you need a witness, just call me any time.
We should be ruthless and teach this kind of scum a lesson.
Where are you going? Come back here!
Big Brother, she is lying to you. I am a lawyer.
I'm not scum. Really! Whatever.
Let's settle this first. Let's negotiate this privately, okay?

- Aunt. - Yun Kai.
Give me a hug.
Do you know that I almost lost one of my nine lives to answer your call?
But it's worth it if I'm able to see my beautiful aunt.
Our little Li Yun Kai has already grown up and he still knows how to butter up people.
What happened?
It's a long story. Let's not talk about this now.
Why did you tell me to come here? Treating me to pizza?
Tada! Welcome to my Biqiya Pizza Shop.
How is it? Pretty nice, right?
What do you mean? Are you telling me that you bought this shop from someone else?
You are very smart. I studied western baking in the States.
Now that I'm back home, I can't keep living off your father, right?
Furthermore, I'm not getting any younger. I should be self reliant.
Did you know? The previous shop owner was in debt from stocks and was in a hurry to transfer ownership.
Look, I haven't even started operating and I have already gotten a good deal.
It doesn't sound bad and it looks quite good, too.
But my professionalism is telling me there is no free lunch in this world.
Show me your contract. I will give you my professional view and see if there are any loopholes.
I almost forgot that you are a lawyer now.
You're not the young crybaby any more.
Wait for a moment. I'm going to get the contract now.
This place here is often the hardest place.
Did you see this?
Try this later. The stitching must be very fine.
Think carefully about the combination of colors.
- Okay? - Okay.
Come, have some fruits.
Mom!
I let you come to Zhenhu to live in ease and comfort. Leave the cutting of fruits to me.
As for you, just eat, drink, and sleep well. Okay?
I have nothing to do at home. There is also no one to talk to. It's so boring.
I'm so bored. I can't eat and sleep every day.
I'm used to my life of hard work. Once I have nothing to do, I feel uncomfortable all over.
I have a senior who is looking for a housekeeper,
but I turned her down since I was afraid it'd be too tiring for you.
Yes, that kind of work is too tiring. Your mother is also getting old.
I'm not getting old! My arms and legs are agile. I have energy all over.
If I'm idle at home, I will die of boredom.
Furthermore, the three of us are living with you.
I would like to earn money to pay the rent.
I will definitely not accept your rent money. Guo Guo is always helping me, too. How are we going to offset this?
Don't regard me as an outsider.
I should also earn some money to pay for Le Tong's medical expenses, too.
Guo Guo, please ask your senior. I really want that job.
I'll ask another day.
Come, eat one.
Okay then. Let's make an appointment. I can definitely.
- Dear. - My husband's back. Let's talk later.
- What's wrong? - Hai Lan is not back yet?
No. Why?
That rotten rascal, Yun Kai. He took my car and he is still not back yet.
I called him and he won't answer. Hurry and call Yun Kai.
Don't be that anxious. I'm calling him now.
Yun Kai, where are you?!
Rotten rascal! Where did you go? You didn't answer my calls, either. Where did you take my car?
Dad, be more cultured in the way you talk. Don't lose your temper. It's not good for your health.
About the car... there is a slight problem with it. Fortunately, I discovered it just in time.
I sent it for repairs immediately. By the way, remember to pay me back for the costs of the repairs.
Nonsense. I just bought that car last week. How can there be problems?
Did you create trouble again?
If you break my car, I won't forgive you!
Dad, I didn't. I know, I know.
A car is a man's wife. I wouldn't ruin your wife, right? Don't worry.
What nonsense are you saying? Hurry up and come back. Where is your aunt?
Aunt? She is with me. We will be home soon. Bye.
Why is your father so fierce towards you? Did you get into trouble?
The only person in this world who can see through my heart is my dear aunt.
I didn't want to tell you in the first place but I...
Don't tell me then. I already have problems of my own. Don't add on to my problems, okay?
Aunt, you can't do this. You are not even slightly concerned about me?
By the way, Older Brother cooked a welcome meal for me. He's waiting for us to return.
Aunt.
Welcome.
Should I call you Director Li or Yun Zhe now?
I hope you can call me Yun Zhe. Welcome back.
Your necktie is nice. It complements your suit.
Really?
My clothing was complimented by a professional designer like you.
I'm flattered.
Please sit.
I want to introduce you to someone. If you don't mind I will call him over.
Who is it?
When you were studying overseas, I hired a new assistant. He is my right hand man.
He is very smart and hardworking.
What's more important is that he's very loyal to me.
I hope that the both of you will work well together in the future, too.
He is highly appraised by you. I'm curious who he is.
He may be a bit late.
How about
we try some red wine first?
Older Brother, it's great to have home cooking.
You won't be able to eat this in the States.
- Home is definitely better. - Of course.
Why is Yun Zhe still not home?
He is always busy with work.
He's so busy. When does he have time to come back home to eat?
He has an important dinner party tonight and can't make it,
but Yun Zhe is very well mannered. He said that he will invite
his aunt to dinner specially.
Yun Kai, look at your older brother.
All he does is work. Look at how hardworking he is.
Look at you! What do you do these days?
A junior lawyer like you even gets into trouble all the time.
Oh, right. Where did you put my car?
That's right, Yun Kai. Did you create trouble again?
What trouble? The car...
I sent the car for maintenance. Stop worrying about it.
Aren't we having a welcome dinner for Aunt today?
- That's right. - Stop talking about me.
Let's drink.
Here's a toast to welcome me back to our big family.
- Welcome home! - Welcome home!
By the way, Hai Lan, I have a business partner.
He has a younger brother who is single and very good looking.
How about I introduce you to him another day?
Brother, stop setting me up on blind dates. If you keep it up, I will go back to the States.
Don't, don't. I-I-I...
- Let's not talk about this again. Seriously. - Okay, let's not talk about it.
But, Hai Lan, what happened when you were overseas five years ago?
If you don't tell us, your brother and I will start guessing.
Shouldn't you give us an explanation?
Can we not talk about it? Just pretend like that man never appeared.
- Okay... - Drink, let's drink.
Let's celebrate Hai Lan's homecoming, okay? Come.
Come.
- Welcome home. - Welcome home.
I bought this gift from France for you.
You coming back to help me is already the best present.
But thank you.
I will still need your assistance to help me become the true owner of Strong Group.
Don't worry. I won't disappoint you.
But it's been a while since I've seen you, can we not talk about business?
Maybe it's because I just came back.
I still have jet lag. I feel so lethargic.
Let's drink.
Some people say women are like red wine.
They will mature gradually,
just like the fermenting of wine.
But the only difference is that red wine
can't choose who drinks it. As for women, it's different.
She can choose which man will complement her.
She can't be thinking that we are on a date, right?
A woman's heart is really very interesting.
I don't believe that your heart is not flustered by who I am now.
Sorry, I have something on now. I will answer you later.
What?
Where?
Airport?
Okay, I got it. I'm coming over.
No wonder I couldn't find you.
You were out of the country.
Why isn't your assistant here yet?
It's not like him to be late.
Hello?
Alright, I understand. I'll see you at the company.
You've worked hard.
He hasn't completed his current work. He's not coming now.
I can arrange for you two to meet later.
Okay, we haven't seen each other for many years. It's also nice to have dinner alone.
What's wrong?
It's nothing, I'm not feeling well. I'm going to the restroom.
Okay.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
It should be Lu Si Chen. I couldn't have made a mistake.
It has already been five years.
He can't be still following me, right?
We haven't seen each other for five years.
Why does this Ramen-Head still act on a whim?
She wants me to use the media platforms to make an apology?
How am I going to show my face in the future?
No. I need to find a way to get the car back.
♫ Listen to me: I’m starting to miss you While alone, you must be happy ♫
The first step: I have to make that girl give up on forcing me to apologize.
♫ moved to tears from just one sentence ♫
♫ Listen to me: I am praying for you ♫
♫ While alone, you must be happy ♫
♫ Don’t be like me, too suspicious and thinks too much ♫
- Ramen-Head. - What do you need?
Who are you?
If I tell you who I am, will you know?
It's sleeping time right now. Don't you know you'll disturb people?
Le Tong, who is that?
- I don't know. - Give me the phone.
Go back to sleep. Good girl.
Hello? Who is it?
Who else? Your enemy.
At least you know that you're my enemy.
Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?
Let's meet up.
We'll talk about that tomorrow morning. Bye-bye.
Hey!
I'll tolerate it. I'll tolerate you for now.
It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?
It's late. Why aren't you sleeping? You scared me.
Aunt,
let bygones be bygones. Why do you still keep thinking about it?
It would be great if I lost my memory.
Now that you have recalled everything,
why don't you tell me about it? What happened back then?
Bill, please.
Hello.
- Hello. - Is there anything I can help you with?
Can you help me tell him I want to get the bill?
My English is not that great.
Bill, please. (English)
Thank you.
- Where are you from? - From Zhenhu.
- Zhenhu? - Yes. Thank you.
No problem.
After your dad heard I had a boyfriend,
he wanted to go to America to take a look.
We waited for a long time on the night we were supposed to meet.
In the end, Zheng Chuan didn't show up.
I went to find him in his company.
That person never existed.
Your father told me that I met a conman,
but I didn't believe it
because from Zheng Chuan's eyes,
I can tell that he loved me.
Could he have come back to China?
I will ask my lawyer friends and other friends to find out
if he could have returned.
You little rascal, you've really grown up.
You can even help me now.
- Of course. - Thank you.
Your business is my business.
Of course, my business is also your business.
- Let's sleep. - Okay.
Don't forget to turn off the lights.
Grandma,
why are you teaching Zhang Guo Guo embroidery?
You already have me and the other embroiderers. Is that still not enough?
Yu Xin, I know you're hardworking
but embroidery shouldn't be a confined skill.
It should be open to participation from others, too.
This is the only way we can pass down the craft.
To add further, Golden Thread Embroidery is a signature brand of the embroidery industry.
Of course, we should be most advanced.
Then Grandma, can you promise me something?
What is it?
Don't neglect me because of Zhang Guo Guo. Okay?
Otherwise, I'll be sad.
Silly girl, how many times have I met her?
Of course, I'm closer to you.
Okay, I promise you.
Thank you, Grandma.
Grandma, these days, you've been trying to recover an ancient article of clothing.
Leave the photography and filing jobs to me.
Okay, I'll leave it to you.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, lunch is ready.
Let's eat.
Why did you call me to come here so early in the morning?
Isn't it because of the car accident?
You should explain things to the two men.
Tell them that I'm not a player nor scum.
I'm a lawyer, an ethical lawyer.
I want them to reasonably compensate me
and return the car to me.
What is there to explain? When you abandoned Xiao Qin, didn't you think about it?
What? When have I ever abandoned her?
Xiao Qin already told me that you two ate, played, and slept together.
You are still not admitting it? You-- You--!
- You are shameless! - Stop talking nonsense. What do you mean I slept with her?
Do you think I'm a promiscuous person?
- Why are you--? - Alright, alright!
Enough. You don't need to explain. I'm leaving.
Sit down. I'm not done talking yet. You can't just wrong me like this.
What are you doing?
Li Yun Kai! You pervert! You jerk!
- What did I do? Let me tell you--! - Kai Kai!
Kai Kai, it's really you!
It's been a long time since I've seen you. Why didn't you contact me?
You better talk properly. Stop joking. This will...
Who says I'm joking? What other relationship could we have?
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten my divorce that fast.
Li Yun Kai!
No, no, listen to my explanation. She--!
You're a fighter jet of all jerks, and a bomber plane of all perverts!
- Who is she, Kai Kai? - Couldn't you have spoken clearer?
What do you mean, your divorce was because of me? What has got it to do with me?
You were my lawyer and I was your client.
You won the case for my divorce. Did I say anything wrong?
Kai Kai, let me help you wipe it off. Are you okay?

Aiyo.
Wow.
Aiya.
Wow.
It's such a big house.
I can't be the only staff, right?
I will be dead tired then.
You are...?
Zhang Guo Guo's mother?
That's right.
You are not what I imagined.
You're really young.
It's like this. When you are here,
you will be doing the cleaning, laundry, cooking, and grocery shopping.
It's not much different from typical part-time jobs.
What? So much work and I'm doing it alone?
By the time I finish cleaning this living room, I will be "dead!" (A slang word from her hometown dialect)
What did you say? "Dead?" (A slang word from her hometown dialect)
It's been a long time since I've heard this term.
It sounds very cordial.
Enough, stop laughing.
I don't want to work for you. I'm leaving.
Hey! Are you serious?!
You just came here and now you want to resign?
Hey, I never agreed in the first place. How am I resigning?
But I thought you would stay.
I already let go of the previous staff.
Look at how many heads of garlic are in the kitchen.
It really stinks.
Who will help me pickle the garlic?
Right? Since you're already here, why don't you try it out?
After you finish doing everything,
I'll give you ¥500.
¥500?!
Just for pickling the garlic?
Look at how your eyes are sparkling.
Let me tell you, it's not only the pickled garlic.
When you are done pickling them, you still need to...
make green dumplings. And also, sponge cakes.
Wrap some prawn wontons and also that...
Right! And those malt pancakes!
My son loves to eat those.
Okay, enough. Where are the ingredients?
Bring them out for me.
I'll show you.
- See if these suit your taste. - Okay.
Here, taste it.
Try and see if you need more salt.
- Does it taste good? - Delicious.
It feels like I've been here before.
If I haven't, then how did I draw that painting?
It's flying!
Wow, is this Sister's room?
Sister, look. It's red,
yellow, and blue.
Doesn't it look like a rainbow?
I can also draw the feelings of the wind.
How did you draw this?
Look, the kite's string is curved.
That means the wind is strong.
You even dare to sneak into my room?
You are becoming more brazen.
This is what I wanted to ask you. You used this drawing to win the prize and
received the scholarship from Golden Thread Embroidery, right?
Who said you can come into my room? Get out.
This drawing is the one I taught you, right?
If you don't tell the truth, I'm not leaving.
What a joke. I drew this from Golden Thread Embroidery's dyeing compound.
I don't even remember what you taught me.
Also, because Professor and Teacher liked me,
they sponsored me. It has nothing to do with you and your drawing.
Hurry and get out.
But the colors of the drawing and the depiction of the kite,
are exactly how I drew it when I was young. You distinctly plagiarized mine.
How many times do I have to say it? I didn't plagiarize you.
You're lying!
If you plagiarized someone's drawing to win the scholarship, you are a thief and a liar.
Zhang Guo Guo, since you are here to learn embroidery, you better do a good job of learning and mind your own business.
What are you fighting about?
Professor,
Zhang Guo Guo didn't have permission and came into my room.
I'm telling her off. Leave now.
Professor, what's up?
I came here because I heard you two fighting over something.
If it's nothing, then it's fine.
This is bad. What if Professor heard everything?
Plagiarized someone's drawing?
Is it possible that the artist of Golden Thread Embroidery's dyeing compound
is another person?

When you are arranging the threads, you must arrange them in a straight row.
When you are using them, it will come in more handy.
Babies, I'm going to participate in the competition tomorrow.
You must get along so that your drawing will look prettier.
♫ Every time we make eye contact ♫
Zhang Guo Guo was definitely a student at Xiping Elementary School.
♫ I will quietly remember all your secretly thoughtful considerations ♫
Zhang Guo Guo.
Professor Jin.
Do you have time? I want to chat with you.
Can we talk later? I still need to finish up my work.
I'll wait for you in the courtyard, then.
Okay.
♫ Don’t let our destined relationship ♫
♫ be separated again ♫
Hey, why did you come home this morning?
Don't you need to work?
I needed to do something, so I took a day off.
You obviously created trouble!
Tell me the truth. What did you do to your dad's car?
I'm not in a good mood. Don't annoy me.
I--! I can't be bothered to argue with you.
Hurry and go eat. We hired a new maid.
Don't throw any tantrums. No matter what, I'm going to retain her this time.
Aren't you always the one kicking the maids out?
Hey! What are you saying?
Aiyo,
she really made so many dishes.
They look good.
I'll eat first.
What is this?
Auntie, can you give me a bowl of rice?
- Okay. - Steamed dumplings.
Here, have a bowl of wontons first.
There's also wontons? I'm telling you--
You?
Xiao Yu, why are you in my house?
This is your house?
Guo Guo, this stupid girl. Why...
Why did she introduce me to work as a maid in your house? I'm so unlucky.
You're unlucky? I'm the unlucky one, okay?
What's unlucky about you?
My current mood is like I just ate a fly!
Xiao Yu, sit.
Sit down. I have some questions for you.
Does Guo Guo inadvertently
or often mention me?
Yes! She mentions you everyday! I'm so annoyed by it!
Really?
She says you're heartless.
You abandoned Xu Xiao Qin and left Xiping.
I didn't ask you about that!
Yun Kai! Yun Kai!
Yun Kai--
Hey,
why are you sitting here?
It's nothing. Then, I'll get a bowl of rice for you.
Yun Kai, your dad's car,
you have to drive it back soon, okay?
Your dad is very concerned about it.
I have already finished cooking the shaomai, wontons,
and soup buns that you wanted. You've all eaten, too.
Can you give me the ¥500 now?
Here.
You have such good culinary art skills. Why are you hiding them?
Stay with us.
If you complain that you are tired, I can give you more days off.
During Mid Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Lantern Festival,
I will give you red packets.
If this is the case, I won't be at loss.
Why don't I try giving her my terms?
If you want me to stay, I can
but I have a small condition.
What is your condition?
Seeing how rich you are,
can you pay me a year's salary in advance?
You--! You want me to pay--
a year's salary in advance?
You are a money grubber.
This old vixen. She knows that I'm looking for a housekeeper urgently and
she dares to blatantly state her terms.
In any case, with Zhang Guo Guo here,
she wouldn't dare to take the money and run.
Okay then, I agree.
She agreed that easily? If I had known, I would have asked for three years' worth.
Okay then.
I will transfer the money to your bank book.
Read the clauses carefully.
Number one: I will pay you, in advance, one year's salary.
You are not allowed to resign with the year.
It's okay as long as you don't go back on your word.
Would I, He Juan, go back on my words?
I will definitely never do that!
Wang Ai Yu? I see. Your name is Wang Ai Yu.
I have a little buddy in my hometown. Her name is Wang Ai Yu, too.
She looks like you.
It can't be.
You-- You can't be...
Teacher Wang's daughter, Wang Ai Yu?
- How do you know my father? - Aiyo!
You... Are you really Ai Yu? It's me!
I'm He Juan. You don't recognize me?
Did I change a lot?
- He Juan? - That's right.
Aren't you Jin Hua?
I... I changed my name. Erase your memory and just forget about Jin Hua.
- My name is He Juan now. - Look at you!
You have double eyelids now. The plastic surgery was done well.
No! They are natural.
When we were young, your school results were the best.
The teachers liked you very much. Why are you now...?
I heard that you were pregnant and unmarried.
Thus, you left our hometown. Is that true?
What nonsense are you spouting?
Your mother was Aunt Kong who operated a small canteen, right?
Back then, you didn't even know your multiplication table in 5th grade.
Look at this now. You are rich and living in such a big house.
- Seriously, God is unfair. - Shut up. Let me tell you.
Don't talk about when I was young in this house.
Don't talk about Jin Hua.
More importantly, don't say that we're from the same hometown.
