Alright, then. I'll see if you can protect her for life!
Now that we know the truth, we won't abandon Zhang Yu Xin again.
If you bother Zhang Yu Xin again, we'll see you in court.
Before settling the situation, don't even think about leaving!
Mom, I'm sorry. I'm not a good daughter.
If I'm your daughter again in the next life, I will definitely treat you well.

This little rascal.
Why do you always make me sad?
Look at this, I didn't dare to spend any of the money
that you transferred from overseas.
I just wanted to save it for when you got married.
Even when Le Tong needed money for her surgery,
I couldn't dare to use it.
Ai Yu...
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Ai Yu, I wanted to talk to you about Guo Guo.
You see, you understand Guo Guo
better than I do, right?
Even if she finds her biological parents,
she wouldn't abandon you.
All these years, Guo Guo has been so obedient and filial to you.
I'm thinking,
shouldn't you try to find Guo Guo's biological parents?
It's been so many years, where would I find them?
There's a public welfare organization called Home Dear Baby.
If we register her DNA there, maybe we can find her parents.
This is the address.
Keep it safe.
Xiu Hua,
thank you for your help with finding Guo Guo's biological parents.
I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I just want to be alone.
Zhang Guo Guo, I have time; let's meet.
I thought you hated me. Why are you looking for me?
I'm here to tell you
to stop thinking about taking over the Golden Thread Embroidery.
Who is this child?
- My daughter. - Your daughter?
Mom, who is she? She's so pretty.
Let's go.
Because the child was born premature,
the doctor said there are some problems with her ears. If we don't cure them now,
she might never be able to hear or speak.
Wait!
How old are you?
- Why does it matter to you? - Who's the dad?
She doesn't have a father.
How can she not have a father? Where did she come from?
How can you say this in front of a child?
Le Tong, let's go.
Mom, do you not like that aunt?
That aunt is really pretty.
What's the use of being pretty? The most important thing is being kind. Understand?
Hello, are you Miss Zhang Guo Guo?
Hello, do we know each other?
I'm Lu Si Chen. I am Strong Group Director Li's secretary.
I'm currently in charge of--
Why are you here?
Is the hospital your house? I can't come?
Stop pretending in front of me.
Do something good, okay? Move away.
Miss Zhang Guo Guo, I will send you back home.
Let's go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Le Tong is so cute.
I feel that she doesn't look like you.
Does she look like the father?
Which dad are you talking about? I have two dads.
There's Pizza Daddy and Lawyer Daddy.
Le Tong, stop talking nonsense.
I raised her by myself.
I'm sorry.
If you want to be my daddy,
you can tell me. I'll give you a chance.
Le Tong. Your child is interesting.
Her mouth has no filter, but she's a good child.
That's right. Different people raise different kinds of children.
Fortunately, you raised her.
What do you mean?
I've known Zhang Yu Xin for many years.
I know that you two are sisters. But don't worry,
I won't tell Golden Thread Embroidery.
- I'm leaving now. - Okay.
Bye-bye.
He knows my sister?
But why does it seem like they're enemies rather than friends?
I'm thinking too much.
Let's go eat pizza!
Teacher, where are you going?
Where are we going?
Beautiful Grandma said that she would treat me to pizza when I came back from the hospital.
That's right. Let's go eat pizza.
- Be careful. - Okay. Bye-bye.
- Mom, bye! - Let's go!
Let's try seafood pizza today, okay?
Okay. Pizza Daddy!
Precious Le Tong!
- Hello. - Hello.
You're discharged from the hospital?
That's right. It's because I missed Pizza Daddy.
So I came as soon as I was discharged.
- Really? - Oh, right.
Is that vixen lady boss here?
What vixen lady boss?
Zheng Chuan, help me carry the boxes.
- Hey! - Aiya!
Why are you holding me?
If I didn't hold you, do you think I would let you fall to the ground?
Didn't I tell you to get the boxes?
Are the boxes more important or are you more important?
Oh, my god. How can they be hugging each other?
- Hurry up and clean up. - Okay.
No need, no need you guys are guests.
Sister Xiu Hua.
You are... Li Yun Kai's aunt?
- I'm Hai Lan. - Yes, Hai Lan.
Pizza's here.
Hungry, right?
Turns out that Le Tong isn't really Zheng Chuan's daughter.
Of course not.
Because she likes to play with Zheng Chuan, she calls him "dad." She's gotten used to it.
Let's eat.
I told you so many times, but you didn't believe me.
Precious Le Tong, is Pizza Daddy a liar?
Why are you always so mean towards my pizza daddy? You even glared at him.
- I disapprove of you two dating. - What?
Mom,
did Sister say something to you?
You look so listless.
You look like you've aged ten years.
When your sister left, she told me to forget about her.
I have finally thought it through now.
You have thought it through?
You are going to give up on older sister?
If I can't let go, what else can I do?
This is the best for her.
Mom, even though you lost a daughter,
you still have me!
Who cares if I'm biological or adopted? Anyway, I'm most fated with you.
What do you mean by that? You already know that you're not my biological daughter?
When did you find out?
You talk so loud on the phone, how could I not hear?
If you knew, why didn't you tell me?
Enough, Mom. I already said, even if you're not my biological mom, you're forever my mom.
Alright, don't cry.
Don't cry. If you cry, I'm going to cry. I'm going to wash the clothes.
Hello?
Yu Xin?
Alright, I'm coming.
Hey, hey, hey! Over here!
What's wrong? Aren't you afraid others will see?
I'm asking you, what's the deal with Zhang Guo Guo's child?
What do you mean? You saw her?
Are you hiding something from me?
What am I hiding from you? That child is here to treat her ear. She has nothing to do with you.
Treat her ear? Didn't you say that my child also has an ear problem?
No, no, no. This child is Guo Guo's daughter.
I've already forgotten that you gave birth to a child.
You're lying. Zhang Guo Guo isn't married yet. Where did she get that child?
You also didn't get married and gave birth to a child.
A few years ago, Guo Guo got on good terms with a poor guy.
When she became pregnant, that poor guy didn't want her any more and ran off.
Really? Le Tong is not my child?
Have I lied to you before?
I gave away your child to a rich family. She's doing well.
Don't think about her anymore, okay? Otherwise, you'll blame the child for holding you back from a good life.
Li Yun Kai, you said you'll teach me English, but you ran off to blind dates!
I hope he marries an evil wife who poisons him to death!
Why am I angry about him going on blind dates?
- When did you get here?! - You got water all over me.
I've always been here.
Are those clothes your enemy? You scrubbed them so harshly.
Go away. Why are you touching me in broad daylight?
I'm not touching you. I'm just wiping my face.
Look at you. You get angry for no reason, but that's fine. Hitting and yelling represents love.
Stop talking without thinking!
Are you the only one at home?
That's great. Since no one is here, let's...
Let go of me or I'm going to shave your head.
Why would you shave my head off? I only wanted you to make me some wontons.
What were you thinking?
Sorry, I'm not waiting on you.
Guo Guo, I just want to eat a bowl of your wontons. I can't stomach anything else. Make some for me, okay?
When you get married, get your wife to cook it for you.
Who says that I'm getting married? I won't get married before you.
Why does me getting married have anything to do with you?
I'm not talking to you any more. I'm going to Golden Thread Embroidery.
Don't be so cruel. I haven't eaten anything since this morning.
Please, can you? Just one bowl. As soon as I'm done eating, I'll drive you to Golden Thread Embroidery.
Then, I'll come over to teach you English tonight. By the way, don't get tired tonight.
- If you get tired, drink some coffee-- - Okay, okay! You talk so much nonsense.
Let's go.
Don't touch me.
Grand Lead Embroiderer.
Hey, when I was a kid, I had a wrist bag that was made of this similar material.
Really? Our Yi Bei had a wrist bag like this, too.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, are you missing your granddaughter again?
If I think about it, she should be around the same age as you.
Pity, I only remember how she looks at eight years old.
Don't worry, Yi Bei will come back.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, did you take me in again because you pity Le Tong?
That is only one of the reasons. I also think you have a good character.
You must have your reasons for being a single mother.
Because of the child, there are certain things that I can never say.
But don't worry, I won't disappoint you.
By the way, Guo Guo, I want you to make some wrist bags or handkerchiefs with that material
to give to the orphanage. You can use your wrist bag as inspiration.
Okay, I will do it as soon as possible.
This one...
Zhang Guo Guo.
Why are you here again? I told you someone with ill intentions can't come here.
Lead Embroiderer, Grand Lead Embroiderer said that I'm her apprentice, so I can come and go as I please.
Don't use my mother-in-law as a shield.
Did Song Xiu Hua tell you to stay here and suck up to my mother to become the future lead embroiderer?
I'm not interested in fame.
You certainly are my sister-in-law's disciple.
The way you talk is just like her.
In the end...
she wasted her efforts trying to fight with me, not caring about her husband's life.
Lead Embroiderer Xu, I respect you as the lead embroiderer and my senior,
but please watch what you say.
What about when you and your mom lied and falsely accused Yu Xin?
My mom and I did nothing wrong to Yu Xin.
Goodbye.
- Where is Song Xiu Hua? - I don't know.
I don't believe you; tell me where she is!
For all I know, she could be hiding my Yi Bei.
It's up to you if you don't believe me.
Zhang Guo Guo!

Teacher, I ordered you a cup of coffee.
Yun Zhe came to find me before. He told me about the embroideries you designed.
He said you applied for patents already.
Because of Zhang Guo Guo's mom, we had some misunderstandings, but those have been now clarified.
Can you contact Strong Group to resume collaboration with Golden Thread Embroidery?
Teacher, this is Golden Thread Embroidery and Strong Group's issue.
I think you should find to time to discuss this with Director Li Yun Zhe.
But...
Teacher, don't worry. Director Li has already outlined the solution. We'll contact you about this.
Yu Xin.
Hello? Mrs. Gao.
Let me take a look.
It's really with me. I'm sorry. I will deliver this to you immediately.
- What's wrong? - It's Haosi Electronics's Mrs. Gao.
She asked us to make her daughter's wedding dress.
I went to bring it over today but I forgot the purse that came with it.
- Is Gao Ya Ting the daughter of Haosi? - Yes.
Her tastes are unique. She personally designed her wedding dress and Golden Thread Embroidery made it.
I should hurry and send it back to her.
Teacher, this is a small matter, you can leave it for me to do.
Okay.
But you must be careful of Gao Ya Ting. She has quite a temper.
Don't worry. I'll be going now.
- It's already so late. - Daughter, you're the bride today.
You can't be upset, okay?
- It will be here soon. - I already called her and she is still not here yet.
Come in.
Hello, Miss Gao. I am Golden Thread Embroidery's disciple. I brought your bag.
Do you have any sense of time?
Who knew that the famous Golden Thread Embroidery can make such a rookie mistake?
I'm sorry, it was our fault. It won't happen again.
Can I see how it matches your outfit?
I can't believe he wants to marry after a meeting a few times. What a joke.
Your dad said he's capable and has been interested in you for while.
Our families have helped each other in the business field.
This marriage will only bring benefits to us.
Does he know I want to live in America after I marry?
If my future husband doesn't agree, I won't even marry the prince of England.
This kid.
What are you doing? Mom, look!
- I'm sorry. - Mom, look.
- What's wrong with you? - Why won't you hurry and mend your mistake? You either recover my dress,
or reimburse me! Otherwise, I'll make sure you'll never do business again!
I'm sorry. I really--
You don't need to apologize. Why should you apologize if you didn't say anything wrong?
You-- What are you doing?
Zhang Yu Xin is my long term designer. If you look down on her, you look down on me.
If that's your attitude, let's call off the wedding.
- Whatever, up to you. Let's leave. - Director Li.
Miss Gao is Strong Group's important client and your fiancee.
Didn't you hear what she said? The wedding is off.
Let's go.
Li Yun Zhe! Stop right there!
Look!
- Is this a good idea? - Are you okay?
I know you spent a lot of effort on Gao Ya Ting,
yet I ruined it for you. I'm sorry.
You didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to apologize.
This might affect your career.
If a woman can easily affect my career, my name wouldn't be Li Yun Zhen.
What about me? Will I affect you?
I thought that no one could sincerely protect me
until I met you.
Now I know that everything I do for you, even the silly things
are worth it.
You're such a foolish girl.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
Now that Yu Xin can come back to Golden Thread Embroidery, and our collaboration is resolved,
I'm rejoicing.
Teacher, I don't think I'll be going back to Golden Thread Embroidery.
Why? The misunderstandings have been clarified.
Professor Jin and I have decided to take you in again.
We can explain everything to Mom.
I've always wanted to be accepted by the Jin family, but you refused.
I'm not part of the family, I'm an outsider. That's why I'm always being suspected.
I really can't take this kind of life anymore.
Lead Embroiderer, Yu Xin has already decided to work at Strong Group.
Her designs are amazing. I've always wanted to hire her, but she previously didn't want to leave because of your relationship.
Now I can finally have this talent.
What about Strong Group and Golden Thread Embroidery's collaboration?
I'm sorry. Everything Zhang Yu Xin designed previously
will not be marketed. Please create new designs.
These are the client orders for Golden Thread Embroidery for the past two months,
but I don't think we can produce them anymore.
If we keep producing them, it'll affect my patent.
Why is there a picture in here?
It must've gotten mixed up in there.
I'm going to use the restroom.
What is this? Zhang Guo Guo's childhood picture.
I remember I threw it in the garbage.
Don't tell me it's Lu Si Chen's doing.
Who knew you were this cruel?
- Teacher. - I supported you for all these years.
Now I know you're a hypocrite.
Ask your conscience. Did you design all of those?
I spent years working on making those inspirations to products.
In the end...
you bit the hand that fed you and turned all my achievements to nothing.
You know more than anyone else what you're really worth.
If I didn't guide you from start to finish
you wouldn't have the capability to create them.
Teacher, do you know your words are really hurtful?
After all these years, today I finally understand
I am nothing to you!
You're the tall and mighty lead embroiderer.
You're Grand Lead Embroiderer's personally-picked disciple.
You don't do what you don't want to do or accept what doesn't suit you.
You make a small disciple like me take care of everything!
I respected you, I loved you, and was willing to do what you wanted.
But you think the current situation is all my fault, don't you?
Even if it's not your fault, you can't escape involvement.
Both the Jin family and Golden Thread Embroidery are willing to accept you.
Why can't you yield? Instead, you made such cruel decisions.
All these years, how many times have I yielded already?
Teacher, the heart is made of flesh.
I always thought of you as my biological mom.
What about you?
Have you ever thought of me as your daughter?
If I was Jin Yi Bei, would you force her to the point of no return?!
In the end...
it's because I'm not your biological daughter. I'm an outsider.
But if you were in my shoes
and people stepped on your dignity over and over, what would you do?
I had no other choice. I didn't know what to do. You guys forced me to do this.
Stop creating excuses.
Do you think you can ruin Golden Thread Embroidery and me like this?
You're underestimating us.
Teacher, can't you see my intentions?
I'm doing all this because I want to go back to Golden Thread Embroidery and learn embroidery from you again.
I want to officially take care of you for the rest of my life. Can't you give me another chance?
You want to act pitiful now? Don't you think it's too late for this?
What are you doing?
Accept me as your daughter.
- What did you say? - You don't have a daughter
and I don't have a mother. We both lost someone precious to us, didn't we?
What does this have to do with you coming back to Golden Thread Embroidery?
As long as I become your daughter, the Jin family will accept me. Nobody will question me again.
There won't be any suspicions between us any more.
A daughter can do for her mom what a disciple can't do for her teacher. Please?
Like you said, if I were Jin Yi Bei, you wouldn't misunderstand her.
How is that the same?
Get up first.
What I mean is, according to Golden Thread Embroidery's rules, Grand Lead Embroiderer won't agree to it.
She's not the one running the place anymore.
She took in that despicable Zhang Guo Guo as a disciple.
So why can't you take in the loyal me?
Besides, accepting a daughter is your business. Grand Lead Embroiderer can't stop you.
Accepting me as your daughter won't cost you anything. In fact, it'll be a benefit.
If you accept me as your daughter,
I can promise you that Golden Thread Embroidery and Strong Group will be able to collaborate again.
- Are you threatening me? - I'm thanking you.
You know it, too.
As long as Song Xiu Hua is alive, she's going to be Golden Thread Embroidery's heir.
I have the ability to make Grand Lead Embroiderer give all leading powers to you.
That's why you need me as a daughter.
I don't approve. We only have one daughter:
Jin Yi Bei.
Even if we accept Yu Xin as daughter,
Yi Bei will always be our precious darling.
No one can replace her.
But Yu Xin, this child
used our collaboration with Strong Group to threaten us.
I don't think she has good intentions.
She's an orphan.
She longs for a family and longs to become our family member.
That's why she resorted to those tricks.
Since Yi Bei left us,
I have not had a proper night of sleep.
These last few years,
only Yu Xin has been devotedly by my side.
I've always unconsciously
pushed my yearning for Yi Bei onto her.
Actually, in my heart
I've long treated her as my own biological daughter.
Recognizing her as my daughter is just mere formality.
Please fulfill my wish.
No! I cannot accept this.
Zhang Yu Xin messed with Zhang Guo Guo's embroidery.
This kind of immoral person
can't become our Jin family's child.
Then what about Zhang Guo Guo?
She had a child out of wedlock with no sense of shame,
yet you kept her as a disciple.
That's different. Feelings are complicated!
You can't lump the two together. But a profession is different.
Character and embroidery are the same. If she has a bad character,
how can she make good embroidery?
I just want to adopt a daughter. What does that have to do with embroidery?
We already have Yi Bei. If you take in Zhang Yu Xin,
how can we explain that to Yi Bei?
Mom!
My daughter has been lost for so many years.
I just want to find sustenance in somebody!
You can't even agree to this?
Why?
Why can't I get a single thing I want?
Mom, sit down.
Hui Jie's been through so much these past few years.
I'm apologetic towards her, too.
Her fate with Yu Xin is hard to come by.
Mom, why don't you just agree?
What if Zhang Yu Xin greedily clings onto Golden Thread Embroidery,
and she doesn't let go once Yi Bei returns?
Taking her in will cause more trouble in the future.
For the past seventeen years, I've always been missing Yi Bei.
But where is Yi Bei?
Sometimes, I feel like giving up.
This jerk. He said he'll teach me, yet he's still not here.
When is he coming? It's already so late.
Yeah. They should be here.
Hey, Yun Kai. Come here.
Dad, Mom, I'm going out for a bit.
Wait, you can't leave!
There's a guest.
- Quickly, go sit down. - Get the doorbell!
They're coming! They're coming!
What guests? Why must I meet them?
It's a guest I invited here for you, so, of course, you need to meet her.
Aunt, I need your help. Please come to my house right now.
Hello. I'm Jiang Zheng Chuan.
Conman! Jiang Zheng Chuan, the conman!
You conned my sister in America
then you disappeared.
- What are you doing here? - Brother, that's not it.
Zheng Chuan didn't con me. We're dating again.
Hai Lan! Are you poisoned or brainwashed?
Why are you dating a conman?
Brother, Sister-in-Law.
I love Hai Lan.
Even though I don't have money, I can give her happiness. Give me another chance.
Who believes you?
- Yun Kai! - Yes?
- Dad. - Get this conman out of here!
Dad, Dad, Dad, calm down. Sit.
Don't be anxious.
Hey, you...
Hey,
where have I seen you before?
You're Ah Yang and Ah Jie's big brother, aren't you?
You're that jerk lawyer?
Aunt, are you sure you want to be with this man?
I'm sure. I won't be able to live if I'm not with him.
Hai Lan! Look at his eyes.
You can tell that he's not a good man. Look at his shifty eyes.
How did you seduce our Hai Lan?
I'm telling you, our family does not welcome you.
Please leave. Please get out.
What are you doing?
I came home to tell you two, we're back together.
I'm just letting you know.
Let's go, Zheng Chuan.
- No, but-- - Dad, Dad, Dad!
Don't worry. Trust me, I'll go chase Aunt back.
Don't worry, Mom. Aunt!
Conman!
It's already 9 p.m. He's still not here
and you said you'll teach me English.
Unreliable.
Yes, Le Tong?
You miss me?
Okay, I'll come back now.
Okay.
If men could be trusted, even pigs could climb trees.
Mom, are you ready? I'm going to catch you!
Mom.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
Hey! Mom! That's not right.
Mom is soft, so you must be Dad.
Let me guess if you're Lawyer Daddy or Pizza Daddy.
Le Tong! That's the wrong person. Come here.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Lu, you came so late at night. Do you need something?
I just think Le Tong is too cute.
I couldn't help but think about her,
so I brought gifts to visit her.
Oh, I get it. You want to enroll to become my dad, too, right?
Lawyer Daddy, Pizza Daddy...
Now there's another daddy. I don't know who to choose anymore,
but it doesn't matter who I choose as long as mom likes him!
Le Tong, why are you spouting nonsense?
It's fine. Don't treat children's words as the truth.
Whatever makes her happy.
What's going on? Why's there another dad?
- You like children, too? - It's the middle of the night. Who is he?
He's even saying things like
- he wants a daughter as cute as her? - Le Tong, do you like the gifts?
- Thank you, Toy Daddy. I love them. - You want to get to Guo Guo through Le Tong?
Despicable.
Mr. Lu, sorry, it's getting late. Le Tong should be going to sleep soon.
How about--?
I'm sorry. I forgot about the time.
Then I'll be leaving first.
Thank you.
- Toy Daddy, goodbye! - See you next time.
- Bye. - Take care.
