Is there really news about Yi Bei?
Someone saw the missing poster. Yi Bei is alive.
It's been seventeen years and she's still alive. She's coming home soon!
That's wonderful! I can't believe I have the luck
to see my granddaughter again.
The person who raised Jin Yi Bei?
Did Mom possibly call them? Has she gone mad?
Grand Lead Embroiderer!
These are the handkerchiefs and wrist bags that I embroidered for the orphanage.
They are cartoon characters. The kids will like them.
Such a great thing happened to your family.
As a outsider, I won't bother you.
Hey, Guo Guo!
You must relay this great news to my daughter-in-law.
Tell her, Yi Bei's coming home.
In the past, I thought she lost Yi Bei.
Now the misunderstanding is cleared. She can come back to visit me.
Understood. This is great.
You can relax once Yi Bei and my teacher come back.
Golden Thread Embroidery will be full of laughter and happiness, just like in the past.
Yes. Yes. I never would have imagined
I would live to see this day.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, this is because of your good deeds. The Heavens are rewarding you.
Oh, right, take these items that Guo Guo made
to the orphanage for the kids.
To celebrate the return of Yi Bei.
Okay.
This is great!
Our Yi Bei is returning home.
If it's really Mom, what am I to do?
Why did it have to be now?
I'm one step away from becoming their daughter.
Why does she keep hindering me?
Yu Xin.
Teacher.
Mom.
Yu Xin, I agreed to accept you as my daughter,
but we might have to put it on hold temporarily.
Let's talk about this again when we find Yi Bei.
I hope you can understand.
It's okay, Teacher.
Don't worry. We already said we're going to be your family
so we won't let you suffer anymore burdens.
Okay, I'll go work now.
That's just sweet talk.
Jin Yi Bei hasn't come back yet and you're going back on your word.
This won't do.
I must prevent Zhang Guo Guo from returning.
Find someone to clean up Yi Bei's Room. She's coming home.
Okay, okay.
Zhi Ming, help me figure out what else I should prepare.
Let's go. This day has finally come.
The Jin family's daughter finally found her parents,
but where are my parents?
Why can't I remember what they look like?
What are their names? Where do they live?
Are they doing well?
Why did they abandon me?
I'm so anxious that my heart's about to burst.
Why is she still not here?
Perhaps our address is too hard to find.
It'll take time for her to get here.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone to pick them up.
How about I go find her?
What if you both cross paths and miss each other?
True. Let's just wait a bit longer.
- They are here. - That's right!
Grandma, Teacher. I'll go bring them in.
I'll personally go.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki.
Wait a minute.
Aren't you Zhang Guo Guo's mom? Why are you here?
You must be looking for Zhang Guo Guo. She's not here.
I need to see Zhang Guo Guo for an urgent matter.
Professor, looks like she's not the foster of Jin Yi Bei.
Why are you here? Are you using Zhang Guo Guo as an excuse to ask me for money again?
Yea! We still have a debt to clear.
Yu Xin, is this really Guo Guo's biological parents' home?
Forget about it and go.
I'm not going.
Fine. Then, just see how I'll die here.
I will wait for you at the park over there.
Come explain everything!
Why did Zhang Guo Guo's mom come?
Grandma,
did Zhang Guo Guo bring her embroidery over today?
Yes.
Her mom knew about it and was upset.
She said we didn't pay her daughter a salary yet we want her to do free labor.
She said she wants to discuss with you, Grandma.
How could there be such greedy people in this world?
It's already difficult to learn embroidery from Mom. It's a rare opportunity.
She even wants money?
I don't understand what they are thinking.
I explained to her clearly. She will not be coming again.
I think we shouldn't tell Zhang Guo Guo about this.
She might be ashamed with that type of person as her mom.
They've lived together for so long,
she should already know what kind of person her mom is.
Should we try calling back the person who called us?
We already traced the number and it was from a public phone.
It couldn't be... someone playing a prank?
The person who said she was coming never showed up.
Instead Zhang Guo Guo's mom came.
Unless... the person who called was her?
I think she only came here for money.
We should first investigate who the woman who called was.
I'll go find out.
They found her?
Are you sure it was Yi Bei?
I was beside them when they called. I didn't hear wrong.
Teacher, Grand Lead Embroiderer said that since they have found Jin Yi Bei,
she wanted to invite you back to Golden Thread Embroidery.
And here I thought that Guo Guo was possibly Yi Bei.
Guo Guo, I know that
you want to find your biological parents, right?
No rush. Your mom is helping you find them.
Who knows? We might find them in the next couple of days.
Forget it.
What if we find them and they don't want to see me?
I would be so hurt.
I like the way things are now with my mom.
Don't say that. Your parents are probably like Yi Bei's parents.
They've been looking for years.
And they just haven't found you yet.
If they really find you,
you must meet with them.
It's also an opportunity to get an explanation from them.
Teacher,
if one day,
Le Tong's biological parents return
and want her back, what should I do then?
Guo Guo, there is a charity organisation called "Home Dear Baby" which specializes in
helping people reunite with their lost children.
How about we
first log Le Tong's DNA there?
Yu Xin, what's going on?
Lower your voice! You made a mistake, yet you're speaking so loudly.
I told you not to acknowledge me as your daughter and you did a good job.
You are now even closer to Guo Guo than me.
You even came to Golden Thread Embroidery to find her biological parents.
Are you trying to ruin things for me?
Never in a million years, did I think
that Guo Guo's biological parents would be those people.
At first, I was afraid that Guo Guo may talk nonsense and cause problems to you.
I wanted to find her biological parents and let them take her away immediately.
Who knew things would turn out like this?
Whenever I remember that situation, my heart races in fear.
Mom, let me ask you. Does Zhang Guo Guo and her teacher know about you coming today?
No, they don't. After I saw the missing person's report, I made a call.
I came alone.
Listen to me.
Zhang Guo Guo's teacher is Jin Yi Bei's aunt.
Heavens! What are we going to do now?
Mom, that's why you must be on high alert next time. Don't say the wrong thing again.
If they knew that Zhang Guo Guo is Jin Yi Bei,
we will be worse off than when we were running away from our creditors in the past.
I don't think Professor Jin will let this rest so easily.
If he checks the security camera footage of the public phone booth,
he'll figure out it was you who called.
I don't care. I have nothing to do with this. It was all you.
No matter what happens, don't push this on me. Understand?
But... Yu Xin. Not letting their family reunite
will make me feel guilty.
This feeling is just like being a thief.
How could we be thieves?
You raised Zhang Guo Guo for seventeen years.
Now it's her parents' turn to raise me.
That's only fair.
Stop overthinking.
I'm leaving.
Xiu Hua.
Why are you here? Did you not go to work today?
I took a day off. You asked me to find Guo Guo's biological parents.
I sent her hair to a DNA testing lab.
This is what a mother should do.
Guo Guo's care for you all these years hasn't been in vain.
Xiu Hua, if Guo Guo's biological parents didn't register her,
it'd be useless for us to search like this, right? I was thinking,
I don't want Guo Guo to be disappointed. Let's not tell her until we find them.
Okay. I will wait for the good news.
What do you need? Take a look.
These women are Guo Guo's mom, grandma
and also her aunt. Her family members are everywhere.
Where can I hide Guo Guo?
Mom!
You're home.
Scared me to death. Why are you home?
Why are you sweating so much?
Oh... It's hot outside today.
I think your body is just too weak. Come here.
I'll buy some supplements for you tomorrow.
Since you know that my health is poor, don't make me angry again in the future.
I always treasured Yu Xin all these years
but the one who ended up staying to care for me is the girl I found in the streets.
Mom, are you worried about Sister?
Are you scared she won't be accepted by Golden Thread Embroidery?
Your sister has always wanted to be their daughter so why can't they just accept her?
That's not to be forced. But I heard they found their biological daughter.
So what? They didn't live together all these years, so how could there be any connection between them?
Besides, Yu Xin has done so much for them all these years.
Yet they won't let her call them mom and dad. They're horrible.
I understand you're upset, but blood-related people are closer to each other.
Are you telling me that?
That's not it! Mom! I'm the closest with you.
Even if my biological parents came to find me, I won't go with them.
You painstakingly raised me, so how could I just leave with them? That's absurd.
That's enough. I'll go buy a chicken for you, okay?
Brother!
Brother! What are you doing?
Arguing with me is pointless. You can manage your shop, but you can't go meet that conman.
Do you see? I set up security cameras here. I'm going to be keeping an eye on you.
Brother, why are you installing security cameras in my shop?
You are stepping all over my self-respect!
I gave you the respect but you have embarrassed me.
If you still don't listen to me, I can only do this.
Brother!
Chairman, the car is over there.
Okay, go.
Hello? Boss Wang.
Long time no see. Have you struck gold recently?
Me? I'm still the same. I have created a new product. Alright.
Let's chat when we're free. Alright, alright.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Thank you. If it weren't for you, there might've been an accident.
Hey, give me a hand.
If you're fine, I'll be going now.
Hey! Hey, young man! What's your name?
Chairman, are you okay?
I'm fine.
This young man...
Look at this.
Help me find him.
He helped me and didn't even leave his name. He is a good person. I must thank him properly.
No one came in the afternoon to report that she found your daughter.
Oh, if the call is from the public phone booth, we can look at the security cameras. Maybe we have footage.
Please let us see.
The time was around one in the afternoon.
Hey, wait. Right there.
Can you zoom in?
Okay. Wait a moment.
Isn't this Zhang Guo Guo's mom? I was wondering why she sounded so familiar.
So she was the one who called.
You caused this trouble so you take responsibility. How many times did I tell you
to discuss with me before you do anything concerning Zhang Guo Guo?
Now see what you've done. You called Professor Jin without telling me anything. You're ruining me!
It's my fault. I was wrong. I didn't think before I took action.
But... What should I do now?
How do I know what to do? You can't hide
because they've been looking for Jin Yi Bei for seventeen years. They won't give up.
Don't run because they're definitely going to find you. Got it?
If I give Guo Guo back to the Jin family,
and they find out that Guo Guo became a single mother because I asked her to adopt Yu Xin's daughter,
they definitely won't forgive us three.
Grandma, why do you keep staring at me?
I'm looking at who this pretty girl is.
I need to relax. I can't get nervous.
Relax.
Grandma, why're you talking to yourself?
It's nothing. It's nothing. Go draw your picture.
Is anyone here? Is Zhang Guo Guo's mom here?
Looks like they really came.
Lead Embroiderer, Professor. Why are you looking for me?
We're not here for you.
Is your mom here? Let her come out.
My mom?
Why're you guys here? I didn't ask Zhang Yu Xin for money!
Were you the one who called us?
Why did you say you know where Yi Bei is?
Why would mom know Yi Bei?
Mom, did you call them?
The security camera took a clear shot of you. Even if you try to lie, you won't be able to get away with it.
If you don't explain yourself, we'll take this to the police.
No! There must be a misunderstanding.
Mom, explain to them what's going on.
I wanted revenge. They teamed up with Zhang Yu Xin to oppose me. I'm angry.
So what? With this current situation, what will you do to me?
Are you human? It's already tragic enough that we lost our daughter, yet we have to suffer through your lies?
Professor, please stay calm!
My mom can't possibly do something like this. Mom, is this true?
It is true!
Stop pretending to be a good person. I bet you knew about this beforehand, didn't you?!
This has nothing to do with my Guo Guo. It was all me! Don't accuse my daughter!
How could you use our kid as a joke? You guys are shameless trash!
Mommy, why are they saying Grandma and Mom are trash?
Don't listen to those words, honey.
Zhang Guo Guo, listen up. I will make you and your mom
pay for what you've done.
I won't let this go!
Stop right there! I want you to apologize!
Like mother, like daughter. You are extremely shameless.
You want me to apologize? Look at how you tormented Yu Xin in the past!
You're the one who should apologize and beg for her forgiveness!
Zhi Ming, let's go.
Hey! Hey! Don't leave!
- Guo Guo, stop yelling! - My mom and I never did anything sorry to Zhang Yu Xin!
- Why should we apologize to her?! - Guo Guo! It's useless!
How could people like them apologize to us? Just hold it in.
Why did you call them? Is it because of Zhang Yu Xin again?
She abandoned you! Am I not enough for you?
Enough, you stupid girl. I don't need you to take care of me. Let's go, Le Tong.
Okay, look at this sentence.
Guo Guo.
Guo Guo, Guo Guo, Guo Guo!
What are you doing?
Where did you mentally go? Did you travel to the west with Tang Monk?
Stop saying nonsense.
Hey, what's wrong? You're so distracted. Did you fight with your mom again?
I already knew that I was unimportant to my mom, but I didn't think I was that unimportant.
Who said so? You're the most precious to me.
Are you my mom?
As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just like how I see you.
Eye discharge is also in the eye of the beholder.
That's right. When you look at me, you are looking at the beholder.
When I look at you, you are the eye discharge in the eye of the beholder--
Li Yun Kai!
It hurts!
Let go, let go, let go!
Focus, we're in class. Why didn't you write anything?
Go away!
Properly write your notes! I'm teaching you new vocabulary. If you can't learn...
I'm fine, thank you. And you?
[Guo Guo]
Hey! Miss, why're you hiding here?
Stop right there!
Zhang Guo Guo, it's all your fault.
First, you steal Li Yun Kai, and now the creditors forced me to this extent.
Now that I've lost everything, you can't live a good life, either.
[Guo Guo]
Xiao Qin! You finally answered me. I was so worried!
You have the time to worry about me? I bet you're busy being lovey-dovey with Li Yun Kai!
That's not it! I've been looking for you these past few days, but I couldn't get in touch with you.
If you still treat me as your friend,
then loan me ¥100,000.
¥100,000? Xiao Qin, why do you need so much money?
You're already with Li Yun Kai, so why can't you let me borrow ¥100,000?
That's not it. We don't have that kind of relationship.
Anyway, prepare ¥100,000 for me. I'll be at your place in an hour to get the money.
Otherwise, prepare to bury my corpse!
Xiao--! Hello?
I don't believe that you, Zhang Guo Guo, can watch me die in your house.
If I don't force the money from you, I can only die.
You blocked my last resort by being with Li Yun Kai, so don't blame me.
[Don't Answer Calls From This Number]
Oh god, what should I do? I'm dead.
I understand Zhang Guo Guo's circumstances very well.
If she doesn't seek Li Yun Kai's help, I will never get the money.
It's all or nothing. I'll just swallow the pills and see if she'll help me.
Yu Xin, you're finally back. Sit down, I'll get you some water.
No need. I'm here to tell you:
No matter what, don't let Guo Guo and the Jin family reunite.
- Why don't I go reason with them? Maybe... - Maybe what?
Do you have a brain? The only way for me to be Golden Thread Embroidery's heir is to become Jin family's daughter.
If Zhang Guo Guo goes back to that family, my whole plan will be ruined!
But Guo Guo...
You raised her so many years. It's time she should repay us. Why should she get everything from birth?
I want Golden Thread Embroidery to be mine. She is only the daughter of a wonton shop.
I won't let her be Jin Yi Bei.
I don't care. If you dare ruin my plans, don't ever think about seeing me again.
Okay, okay, okay. I promise you.
You guys... You actually dare to take Guo Guo's family?
Hey! Little girl!
Mom? Why are you here alone? Did Xiao Qin come?
Yes. She left already.
Left? Did she say anything?
She didn't say anything. She just glared at me and left.
She's just mad. Don't be mad at her. If she comes again, keep her here for me.
Hey. Where are you going?
Professor misunderstood the call that you made to Golden Thread Embroidery,
but this doesn't concern Grand Lead Embroiderer. I'm going to explain to her.
Guo Guo, stop going to their place so much. Don't make trouble for Yu Xin.
I know. I'll be back after explaining everything.

Li Yun Kai! Stop running!
You became a Smurf!
Is it that funny?
This dye won't wash off. You'll be a Smurf for life.
You're dyed blue, you look like a Smurf.
Did we know each other in the past?
This scene feels like deja vu.
♫ Every time we make eye contact ♫
Hey, did we meet each other a long time ago?
Huh? We met a long time ago?
Didn't we meet for the first time at Xingfu Street?
♫ I turn them into mementos ♫
♫ of scenes that only exist because of you ♫
Don't tell me...
♫ because I met you ♫
We were lovers in our past lives? Do you think this is fate?
What fate? I'm being serious.
The truth is, you're not the type of girl I like,
but I have no choice because you already stole my heart. Don't you think that's fate?
What fate? Hurry and button up your shirt. It's burning my eyes.
You've been staring for so long, yet you say it's burning your eyes?
Hey, do you like what you see?
It's fine. It's no different from the pork they sell at the market.
I'm not pork! I workout, okay?
I have all the v-lines and abs that people talk about. Look, I'll show you.
Are you really looking?
Yes.
That's not a good idea.
Hey!
Why're you leaving? Come back! I'll let you continue looking, okay?
Zhang Guo Guo, do you not care about me?
She overdosed on sleeping pills. After flushing out her stomach, she'll be fine after she awakes.
Thank you, Doctor.
No problem.
Mom, watch her. She's important to me. I need to go back to Golden Thread Embroidery now.
Yu Xin! Are you hiding something from me?
You don't know anything so just listen to me. I'm begging you, stop ruining my plans.
You are not even a kid anymore. How did you fall into the dyeing bin?
Grandma,
it's such a coincidence. When I was young and played with Yi Bei, I fell into that, too.
Seriously.
Everyone misses Yi Bei, but when is she coming back?
Yun Kai, we asked you to come here because of this.
A woman called to say that she raised Yi Bei
but when we asked her where Yi Bei was, she refused to admit this. She made a fool out of us.
Who is so unreliable?
Zhang Guo Guo's mother.
- Who? - Zhang Guo Guo's mother.
That's why I want to sue her. She knows the whereabouts of Yi Bei.
If she is afraid of going to jail, she will definitely reveal it.
Grandma, you can't sue her.
Why?
Truth be told, Zhang Guo Guo and I are dating. I can't partake in this lawsuit.
Yun Kai, you should consider this.
If you have a connection with such a family, your father will never agree.
I like her. What has it to do with her family?
Guo Guo is a good girl. Even though her mother has no sense of propriety,
she was taught by Xiu Hua. She shouldn't be that bad.
But I still can't forgive someone who did such a thing. I'm still going to sue her.
Grandma, I'm very grateful that you can forgive Guo Guo but I hope that you will investigate this fully first.
- Teacher Xie, thank you. - No problem.
Why are you so shameless? You still have the audacity to come here?
I have some matters. Why can't I be here?
It's because your mom who called to trick us.
She caused the elders here to be sad. How could you still come here?
I'm here to learn embroidery from Golden Thread Embroidery. This has nothing to do with my mom. Stop talking nonsense.
After all, when I was young, I lived in your home for a short period of time.
As your sister, I'm begging you to leave now. Grandma and Teacher can't withstand anymore provocation.
Why are you pretending to be pitiful? I'm not young anymore. I won't listen to you.
I know that I don't have the rights to order you.
Thus, I'm begging you now, but if you still make my teacher unhappy,
I can do anything for Golden Thread Embroidery.
Why wouldn't you have the rights?
You are part of the Jin family.
As for you, Zhang Guo Guo,
as an outsider, you should listen to Yu Xin.
Sorry. My teacher taught me that, other than Grand Lead Embroiderer's instructions, I should't follow anyone else.
Go tell Song Xiu Hua that I'm the lead embroiderer of Golden Thread Embroidery now. She can't interfere.
Also, tell your mother that
no matter what tactics she uses, I will regard Yu Xin as our daughter.
Daughter?
Teacher, are you really going to accept me?
I already told you to call me mom, starting from today.
All these years, I have always wanted to call you mom. I'm finally your daughter now.
Mom.
Zhang Yu Xin, you're calling someone else "Mom?" Was your conscience eaten by dogs?
Let's not drag this matter any longer. Let's book a restaurant today to celebrate.
We'll tell all our relatives that we have a daughter, Yu Xin.
When Yi Bei comes back and finds out that she has an older sister, she will be very happy, too.
Professor. Dad.
I will be filial to you two, and I will definitely find Yi Bei for you.
Guo Guo, I heard that your mother came and said we're using you as an unpaid laborer.
Accept this money. Just take it as reward for the work you've done for me.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, I can't accept this money.
My mother is not that kind of person. Did a misunderstanding happen?
- Take it. - I really can't.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, did you personally hear my mom say this?
It was Zhang Yu Xin who told us this. She said that your mother was unreasonable.
She often comes here to create a ruckus. Zhang Yu Xin's the one who forces her to leave.
Zhang Yu Xin? Her again?
Guo Guo, don't protect her just because she is your mother.
When you have the time, advise her and tell her not to make any more mistakes.
Grand Lead Embroiderer, my mom was indeed at fault,
but her only fault is loving her daughter too much. She's even willing to become the criminal.
- Sorry, Grand Lead Embroiderer. I'm leaving now. - Hey! Hey! Guo Guo!
What should I do?
I lied, and now I can't take back my words.
I'm also doing this for my Yu Xin. Dear God,
please forgive me.
Mom, what's wrong?
Guo Guo, the lawyer called me. He said that Golden Thread Embroidery is going to sue me. What should I do?
How could this be? Why are they suing you?
It's because of the phone call that I made. They want to send me to jail.
What? I thought everything had already ended. How did it turn out to be so serious?
Mom, don't worry. If they still won't withdraw the lawsuit, I will go beg them. You won't go to jail.
You can't go to Golden Thread Embroidery. What if they see you again? Yu Xin will be in trouble.
Mom, why are you still worrying about Sister in this situation?
You're willing to go to jail for her to become the fake daughter of that rich family? You're crazy.
Guo Guo.
You must not go to Golden Thread Embroidery. You must not tell Yu Xin about my issue. What if it makes her worry?
Yun Kai, help me. Golden Thread Embroidery is suing my mom.
You already know?
What's the worst case scenario? Will my mom go to jail?
I'm begging you to help me. As long as they can spare my mom, I will do anything.
Guo Guo, don't panic. I will think of a solution. Go home first and have a good sleep.
I will take you and Xiao Yu to Golden Thread Embroidery tomorrow.
Grandma, Professor Jin, Lead Embroiderer Xu.
Aunt Xiao Yu has wholeheartedly repented. She wants to sincerely apologize to you.
Can you give her another chance?
