- Episode 21 -
Your impulsiveness brought problems to others. Did you think about that?
Brother, I don't think you understand the situation.
Zhang Guo Guo was originally being framed for stealing.
I helped clean up the situation and regain her rightful innocence.
I would like to know who I got into trouble.
I'm warning you, mind your own business.
Oh, you scared me. You didn't make any noise.
Your older brother doesn't seem too happy.
Are you getting in the way of our Yun Zhe again?
Mom, your words really hurt me.
Legally, we're also mother and son.
Why is Yun Zhe "our" Yun Zhe, and Yun Kai is "someone else's" Yun Kai?
If you were another family's, that would be great. Hurry up and eat and go to work.
I'm done with eating. Take your time to eat.
Lawyer Li, I found out Zhang Guo Guo's address.
And this is the information that you requested about those two people.
These two were previously living in America and worked for a guy named Jiang Zheng Chuan.
They have been arrested for fighting before. They returned to China a year ago.
Also, this Jiang Zheng Chuan, five years ago in America. In order to help these two buddies,
committed a crime. He was recently released from jail and came back to China.
- But there is something very strange. - What is it?
The people you told me to find, Zhang Guo Guo and Jiang Zheng Chuan, live at the same address.
What?
Does that mean that Zhang Guo Guo and Jiang Zheng Chuan colluded to torment me?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
Is anyone in?
Jiang Zheng Chuan?
Is anyone--?
Who are you? Why are you looking for my father?
Little girl, did you say that Jiang Zheng Chuan is your father?
Yes. He is at work and not at home now.
He's not at home. Is Zhang Guo Guo in then?
- My mom went to buy groceries. - Your mom?
Are you saying that Zhang Guo Guo is your mother and Jiang Zheng Chuan is your father?
No wonder. This married couple ganged up to trick me.
Mister, are you suffering a heat stroke? What nonsense are you saying?
She even dared to lie to me.
- Who are you referring to? - Who else could it be? It's your mom.
This little baby from before has already grown up.
Why are you angry one minute, and the other, you are talking to yourself? It's very strange.
You won't understand what adults are saying. Since your mom is not back yet, I will wait in the house.
Hey, how can you just come into someone's house?
You're quite amazing.
Tell your grandma to come out. Tell her that Lawyer Li is here.
That's not right. Tell her that Jerk Lawyer is here.
Jerk? I have heard of this name before.
- Beautiful Grandma. - Yes?
What's wrong?
Aunt.
Yes?
Aunt.
It has been many years. Where did you go?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
for not being there to take care of you.
You have grown up.
Stop crying.
There's a guest?
It's you?
Zhang Guo Guo?
This is not right.
This is Jin Yi Bei?
Zhang Guo Guo is Jin Yi Bei!?
Yu Xin.
Professor.
This must be your daughter, Yi Bei. She is very adorable.
I drew this when she was eight years old. It's been a while.
I'll go pour you a cup of tea. I'll bring it over later.
How could this happen? Zhang Guo Guo is Jin Yi Bei?
How could this be possible? How could she--?
Yu Xin, I'm going to--
Why are you so careless?
Sorry, Teacher.
- What were you thinking of? - I wasn't. It's nothing.
You've been out of it lately. Is Zhang Guo Guo's presence giving you stress?
It's not related to her.
I really want you help you, but it seems like I'm just making things worse.
Perhaps, I am a bit anxious.
It's my fault. I've been too eager.
I should have let you stay in Europe and not had you come back so soon.
Don't think of it this way. As long as you need me, I will rush back immediately.
I've never regretted my decision from the past.
Just like you said, when you rush something, it can become more complicated.
Like with the golden seat cushion incident.
If you didn't suspect Zhang Guo Guo, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing state.
Teacher, it's all my fault. I was too eager.
I'm sorry.
Forget it. There's no point in dwelling on the past.
I have some business to attend to. When you clean up the glass shards, be careful.
Okay.
Mom, look at how pretty this flower is.
- What did you call me? - Mom?
Zhang Guo Guo is really the missing Jin Yi Bei?
If they reunite, then all my years of hard work...
No, I can't allow them to recognize each other.
Zhang Guo Guo, it's all your fault.
If not for you, I would have found my aunt five years ago. It wouldn't have been such a hassle.
- I realized that your ability to lie-- - You still have the audacity to blame me?
If you didn't have issues expressing yourself, things wouldn't be like this!
Yet you blame others for your own issues.
Don't blame Guo Guo. Blame me instead. I told her not to tell anyone.
Aunt, you're seriously...
You didn't show up for many years and didn't visit me. I missed you so much.
I thought I was left alone in this world,
but I'm glad I found you now.
Like a child. Immature.
I'm speaking to my aunt. How is that your business?
Oh, right. It's time we settle our issue, too.
Did you collude with Jiang Zheng Chuan to torment me?
What? What do you mean?
Aunt, you don't know, but I'm so unlucky.
I got into a car accident and met a false witness. As a result, they took my car. Did you collude with him?
I was enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven, alright?
I didn't collude with him.
Stop lying. That child already said it very clearly. You're her mom, and Jiang Zheng Chuan is her dad,
yet you're still talking nonsense. Aunt, I have to reveal the truth today to show you her true side.
What truth is there to reveal? Do you think you're Sherlock Holmes? You must be drunk.
- Or did you go mad from happiness from finding your aunt? - You're the drunk one. You just wait.
Hello? This is Li Yun Kai. Yes, come here right now.
Yes.
Why are you loitering around my shop?
I'm not loitering here. Li Hai Lan,
even if you kick me out a thousand times, I will still return. There is no one helping you at the shop.
Before you find someone else, there's only me here. I will work for free.
Don't stand here. Have a cup of coffee. I will clean the shop, okay?
- What are you doing? Put me down. - Shut up.
Since you don't want to have coffee, just sit here and be quiet.
- If you stand too long, your legs will hurt. - Hey! Jiang Zheng Chuan,
I'm telling you, stop touching me everywhere.
It's already useless for you to say this to me now.
Hai Lan,
these past few years, every minute, every second, I've been thinking of you.
I've prayed to the heavens for a chance to meet you again.
I'm really lucky to meet you again.
I originally wanted to secretly protect you,
but I realized that you're not living well. I'm really worried.
I won't believe anything you say now.
- Hai Lan, I-- - Do you know
that I waited five years for you? How many years does a woman have?
I'm sorry.
Enough, don't say any more.
Your past, present, and future are none of my business, okay?
Just leave.
Fine, then tell me. If you forgot about me then why do you still have this?!
- Give it back to me! - Hai Lan, stop lying to yourself! I really missed you, Hai Lan!
Daddy!
Le Tong, why are you here?
Dad, stop working. A weird uncle at home is looking for you.
Weird uncle?
When Yu Xin saw Yi Bei's portrait, she looked shocked.
I think she knows something.
I'm suspecting she plagiarized Yi Bei's drawing when she won at the competition.
How can that be?
Don't tell me...
There could be a possibility that Yi Bei lived in Xiping?
Sister-in-Law lived in Xiping.
Yi Bei has a connection with Xiping, too.
Don't tell me that all these years, Sister-in-Law has been taking care of Yi Bei in Xiping?
If this is really the case, Song Xiu Hua is really too cruel.
She is taking revenge on me!
That's not possible. At that time, you two were only competing for lead embroiderer. There weren't any deep grudges.
How could there be not any? I--!
I mean, if she didn't fight with me for the position of lead embroiderer, she wouldn't have gone to Jiangling.
If she didn't go to Jiangling, Older Brother wouldn't have died.
Brother's death was an accident.
If Sister-in-Law hid Yi Bei because of this,
that is just too much.
She even schemed to send her apprentice here. This shows that she has been eyeing Golden Thread Embroidery.
Perhaps, we can find Yi Bei through this apprentice.
I hope to be able to see Yi Bei soon.
Do you really not know each other, or did you not have time to make up an excuse?
You are still not telling the truth at this moment?
What do you mean? On one hand, you said to settle it privately.
On the other hand, you say that we are colluding. I'm really going to give it to you today.
Let's talk in a civil manner! Why are you being violent?
Stop!
Brother.
Since everything has been clarified, I won't pursue this matter anymore,
but you will need to pay for their medical expenses and car damages.
Not a problem, just return the car to me.
I have business to attend to. I'm leaving first.
Brother!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
He's cool.
It's your turn now.
If you don't clarify things today, don't dream of walking out from this door.
In the past, you raised the child yourself. Now that he's back,
- you came back to Zhenhu to live with him, right? - What are you talking about, Yun Kai?
That person is my tenant. Guo Guo has only known him for a few days.
Tenant?
Then, are you still single? You don't have a husband?
None of your business. It's already troublesome to raise a daughter. Why would I raise a husband?
Teacher, the materials are being imported today. I'm going to pack and go to the textile market.
You can catch up on old times with Jerk Lawyer.
Yun Kai,
why don't you go with Guo Guo?
- Go with her? - Help her.
Okay.
Hurry up. With your pace, it will be dark when we get home.
Easy for you to say. If you were holding this much stuff, you try walking fast.
Who told you to agree with her? Since you have agreed, you should do your job.
This woman...
Hey! Let me buy some fruits.
Don't buy any. Buy them from stands near your home.
Boss, give me three pears, three honeydew, and a watermelon. Pick the largest one for me.
Why are you buying so much? You bought honeydew and watermelon. Do you want to buy winter melon, too?
Winter melon? That's right. Let's go buy some winter melon.
I want the biggest one. Okay, I want some honeydew, too.
♪ You are my little apple. ♪
- I'm so thirsty! Thirsty! - It's expensive to buy water outside. Wait until you get home.
You didn't complain that these fruits were expensive, yet you won't buy me water?
Do you see any convenience stores here? Go back and drink. Let's go.
I don't care. I don't care. I can't walk any more.
I'm really dying of thirst.
- I'm going to-- - You are slacking off, right?
If you don't buy water for me, I'm going bang my head against this tree.
- I don't want to live any more. - Okay, enough! Enough!
Here.
At least you have a conscience.
I was really dying of thirst.
Eat more.
If you get dehydrated, that would be bad.
It's so sweet.
I wouldn't be able to carry you back.
♫ Maybe it’s fate ♫
♫ that we’re always taken by surprise ♫
♫ Like a meteor, in the blink of an eye, ♫
♫ shoot across the pitch-black night Just like this, I met you ♫
Are you done eating? Let's go back home.
Okay.
♫ You silently stood there, ♫
Let's go.
Let's go. Don't move. I will pack this.
You need your hands for embroidery, so you can't do manual labor. I'll do it.
Let's go.
♫ like it’s a miracle ♫
♫ You silently stood there, ♫
When did Jerk Lawyer start treating me so well?
He's definitely scheming something.
Definitely.
Seriously... All day,
I have to cook cold dishes, hot dishes, egg rolls, and soup.
I have to do so much work. Not even working in a restaurant is this tiring.
What are you saying?
You are so slow. You are still cutting the vegetables?
When will you clean upstairs?
Hey! I'll tell you the truth. I don't plan to continue working.
I work so hard to earn wages from just cleaning cabbage.
You have the audacity to think I'm slow?
Stay calm. Since you took my money, no matter the workload, you must do it.
Later, I'm going to play golf. Stop doing your current work
and go upstairs to iron my golf clothes.
Hey!
♪ A warm breeze rises. ♪
Why do golf clothes need to be ironed? She's just trying to create more work for me.
I'm dead tired.
Even if I'm lacking money, I shouldn't work here.
I really regret this.
This must be the son she gave birth to.
He doesn't look anything like Jerk Lawyer.
He looks so full of vitality.
If Yu Xin could marry this handsome son, it would be great.
So? Not bad, right?
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
Si Chen found this place for me. I wonder how long it took him.
Director Li, are you satisfied with the restaurant I picked?
It's not bad. Do you come here often?
I don't come here often.
In the past, I worked here. My ex-wife loved the dishes I took back home from here.
I think girls like the atmosphere here.
I wonder if Miss Zhang is happy with this place.
Yes, I'm very happy with it.
Si Chen, you can sit, too. Since we're all close, it's fine.
Sorry to bother you two.
By the way, I ordered green tea for Miss Zhang.
I think, compared to coffee, green tea suits Miss Zhang better.
You are wrong. Change it to coffee for me.
I thought that you didn't like to drink coffee.
Si Chen, Yu Xin has always liked to drink coffee. Why did you think that?
Oh, it must have been a misunderstanding.
I think Miss Zhang has very nice skin.
I thought she would prefer to drink healthy stuff like, for example, green tea.
Yu Xin, do you now know why I trust Si Chen? He is very attentive.
I want to see how long you can pretend.
It's better for you to go to Xiping now and check if Song Xiu Hua is living there.
I understand.
Also, at the same time, ask about Zhang Yu Xin.
If she lived there before, people will remember her.
Check on Yu Xin? Is there a problem with her?
Whether there is or not, we will find out after the investigation.
Please, Ding Wei, this may be related to the whereabouts of Yi Bei.
Get in the car. I'm taking you to Golden Thread Embroidery.
I don't have time to play with you. Hurry and disappear from my sight.
I'm just following Director Li's instruction.
What has this to do with me? The instruction is for you, not me.
Do you want to get in the car yourself, or do you want me to force you in?
Wow, Mom is so pretty.
How am I pretty?
Mom, your eyes, nose, and mouth are pretty. Your mouth is the prettiest.
Mouth?
♫ I am still looking ♫
♫ because you have stopped, ♫
♫ yet I still can’t forget ♫
♫ our meeting ♫
Mom, what's wrong with your mouth?
Nothing.
Every time when you want to kiss me, your mouth is always like this.
Kid, what nonsense are you saying?
Okay, let me bring my precious baby to the hospital.
Let's go.

Hi.
Why are you here? Looking for your aunt?
I didn't come to find my aunt today.
I brought Le Tong cake.
Wow! Cake!
Le Tong.
But I don't like to eat cake.
This is where you're wrong. Le Tong, let me ask you a question.
Did your mom tell you to be an honest child?
Then, are liars good children? Will Mommy like that?
That's right. I'll ask you one more time: Do you like cake?
That's right. Here, take it.
You can accept it.
Thank you, Lawyer Daddy.
You can't call him dad! Call him "uncle."
Also, stop giving us gifts.
I like giving her presents. Moreover, this is between me and Le Tong, right?
Let's go.
Lawyer Daddy, goodbye.
You have to call him "Uncle!"
♫ so beautiful in the mass of people ♫
Guo Guo, I'm here. Come and catch me.
- Guo Guo, I'm here. Come and catch me. - Le Tong, do you hear something?
- Guo Guo, I'm here. Come and catch me. - Mom, it's over here.
Guo Guo, I'm here. Come and catch me.
Guo...
Hello? What do you want? Is it fun to fool around with me?
You're so smart, you found it so quickly.
Do you know because of you, everyone's looking at me?
Then in the future you should pick up your phone faster.
The cake is for Le Tong. This phone is for you.
I wanted to eat the cake with Le Tong, but I have something to do, so I stole a slice. I know that you wouldn't mind.
Right?
Why did you send me a phone?
If I can't find you, I'll be anxious. This way, you can't escape from my grasp. Alright, that's all.
Hey! You jerk!
Guo Guo, I'm here--
Hello? What?
If you want to die, come here and I'll fulfill your wish!
Send your child here to the hospital tomorrow morning. We'll arrange her surgery soon.
That's great, that's great! I want to finish up the surgery.
That way, I'll be able to hear like the other kids.
If I had known your surgery would be so soon, I would have taken you to eat delicious food,
and then feed you until you're chubby. This way, you'd recover sooner from the surgery.
I don't want to be fat! I'm only pretty like this.
How long until Grand Lead Embroiderer is back?
I have things to do at home. I need to go back soon.
I'm not sure, she's been out the entire afternoon and hasn't been back yet.
Okay, I'll just wait a while.
She already said Grandma's not here. Why aren't you leaving?
This isn't your home. You can't just chase me out like that, Sister.
Why are you here? You want to ruin my life?
You messed with me first.
What is that?
This is embroidery for Grand Lead Embroiderer.
Give it to me.
I'll help you give it to her. Hurry and leave.
No need. I won't be coming here for a while. I must tell her first before I go.
I don't have time to fight with you. Go back and tell Mom that I want to see her.
Mom and I are doing fine. Stop bothering us.
Okay. Place the stuff here and leave now.
Who says you can touch other people's things? You can't touch this family's things.
I'm just looking at the album. Why are you so nervous?
Grandma hates others touching her stuff. Place the embroidery here and leave now.
You really regard yourself as a member of the Jin family.
I have never seen you so protective of Mom before.
Sir, what would you like to have?
I'm not eating, Lady Boss. I would like to ask you about someone.
Have you seen this girl?
No.
Okay, thanks.
Don't mention it.
Hey, excuse me, miss.
Hello.
May I ask if you have seen this little girl?
This...
Sorry, I have never seen her.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I have never seen her.
You don't have any impression at all?
No, I don't.
This girl's name is Zhang Yu Xin. Have you seen her in the past?
No, I have never seen her.
- Are you sure you didn't? - I definitely didn't.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
What is this?
It's the embroidered piece Zhang Guo Guo delivered.
It should be the piece that you are delivering to the museum for the exhibition.
She has already finished it?
This girl works very fast.
Why is the handiwork so unrefined?
Her stitching is not following any logical sequence. She dares
to show me something like this?
Mom.
I heard that Zhang Guo Guo sent her embroidered piece here.
Everyone is very curious to see her strengths.
There is no need to.
Is this the piece?
This...
This is her handiwork?
I don't believe it. This is not her standard work.
With this level of handiwork, she even dared to brag
that she'll help you to embroider a piece for the exhibition?
This will be embarrassing for Golden Thread Embroidery.
I will unweave this and redo it.
Yu Xin.
Teacher.
Don't ever let anyone see this embroidered piece.
If somebody finds out Grand Lead Embroiderer's handpicked apprentice
has such lacking handiwork, they would think that we are nothing.
I understand.
Grandma, are you okay?
No matter what, I don't believe that this was done by Zhang Guo Guo.
Do you trust Zhang Guo Guo that much?
Grandma, Zhang Guo Guo wanted me to tell you that
she will be very busy in the future and won't be coming to Golden Thread Embroidery again.
She's not coming back? She destroyed such an important work piece
and left?
This is too much!
Be careful.
Dad!
Hi.
Le Tong keeps calling my father every day. I really thought I had a daughter like you.
If I didn't have work today, I would accompany Le Tong the whole day.
My mom is with me. I'm not afraid of anything.
Let's leave now. Hurry.
Who's calling at a time like this?
Hello.
Hello, it's me.
It's you?
Do you have an older daughter?
What older daughter? I only have one daughter. What are you talking about?
Someone from Zhenhu came to my shop and asked if I know someone called Zhang Yu Xin.
What did you tell him?
I don't know who Zhang Yu Xin is. I told him that I didn't know her.
I understand. I have urgent matters now. I will talk to you another day.
Mom! Hurry up or we will be late!
I still have some other matters. You can leave first. I will catch up with you later.
Okay then. Let's go.
Be careful.
Who is it?
Grand Lead Embroiderer.
The embroidery took a lot of effort. Why are you unweaving it?
It wasn't done diligently. I need to unpick this to redo it.
It's such a menial work, you can just leave it to Zhang Guo Guo.
Why are you doing this on your own?
She left this here yesterday and left.
The handiwork is so unrefined. Zhang Guo Guo is so irresponsible.
She's left? She is not coming back any more?
Could something really have happened to her daughter?
Daughter? She is not married yet.
You didn't know about this? She got pregnant before marriage.
Her daughter is already old enough to help with chores.
Impossible. She is a very obedient girl. Why does she have a child?
Let me tell you. I didn't believe it from the start, either.
Her mother personally told me about this.
It's hard to tell about the youngsters these days. They look pure.
Who would think that they are not that law-abiding?
Tell Zhang Guo Guo to come here now! Look at how bad her embroidery is,
yet leaves without a word? Absurd. Tell her to come immediately.
Why aren't both my grandmas here yet?
Grandma has something on, and Beautiful Grandma needs to rush out a dress and can't make it here.
Don't worry. I will be here with you.
I'm not afraid. I'm just worried about you.
What are you worried about?
You are so nervous that your palms are sweating.
When I go for my surgery, you will be here alone. Won't you be afraid?
I'm not a kid. What would I be afraid of?
Le Tong.
Why are you here?
Why can't I come here?
I have your cellphone number, and with Aunt as my messenger,
do you think you can still escape from me?
Lawyer Daddy, when I go into surgery, Mom will be here alone. I'm so worried.
Le Tong, are you saying you want your mom and Lawyer Daddy to be together?
It's because I'm worried. Mom is not that brave.
Don't worry, I won't let you accompany my mother for free. When I have recovered, I will treat you to ice cream.
You'll treat me to ice cream? That's great, I love ice cream.
Le Tong, you have to be good when you get surgery. Lawyer Daddy will accompany your mom.
I will hold her hand like this and stay with her
till you are back safe and sound from the surgery. Okay?
But you can only hold her hand for one day. When I have a real father, you can't hold her hand any more.
Le Tong, do you really want a real father?
I will just find a random guy and get married tomorrow, okay?
I'm fine with "tomorrow," but you can't find a random person.
