[Episode 21]
What?
The shop was bought by someone else?
Didn't you tell me two days ago that everything was already well arranged?
How can there be a change right now?
This house was almost gotten by us.
But suddenly, that landlady upstairs came down with money and forced Song Dezhong to sell his house to her.
Then go help me investigate her background
including the details of the date and time of her birth.
I really want to see which old fox dares to compete with me.
The shop was bought by someone else.
Mom, isn't it just a small shop? If they don't want to sell it, then let's just drop it.
You said it right. It is exactly because it is just a small shop.
I can't accept this kind of humiliation. Think about it. When have I ever suffered such humiliation?
It is this landlady that is not being appreciative. If she just obediently gives me that small shop space
there won't be any more problems happening.
If not, Song Dezhong's today is her tomorrow.
[Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital]
You all can be reassured now. As long as he rests he will be fine.
However, you must not let the patient suffer anymore emotional turmoil.
The patient needs to rest right now. You should all come back tomorrow.
- Thank you, Doctor. - You're welcome.
You're all probably tired, so go home and rest.
Jiaming, that... can you still withdraw your resignation?
I can find another job, but I only have one dad.
I can use the spare time that I have to take care of him.
Then what about him? If you don't want to see him, I can ask him to leave right now.
No need to. I can tell him myself.
Okay. Let's go.
For today,
thank you.
It was all my fault.
I didn't answer your call, there won't be a next time.
I am able to handle this on my own.
You should go home early.
If my staying here is making it difficult for you,
I can leave right now.
But I know that for the past few days, you are tired physically and mentally.
Even if you are worried,
you should get some rest too.
I think Uncle Song wouldn't want to see you tiring yourself like this either.
Go inside and rest while I'll go get you a blanket.
Hello?
Chairman Li, Song Dezhong was forced to sell his small shop.
What did you say?
Song Dezhong's small shop has been sold?
All right. Yilan, Song Jiaming is just a measly insert song.
She and Yuzhe will eventually end and separate.
But... I am still a little worried. I fear that a woman like Song Jiaming will keep pestering Yuzhe.
What are you afraid of? Think about it, Song Jiaming doesn't even have a job now.
They also lost their shop. She now has problems earning a living, so how can she still think about romantic matters?
Moreover, a clap doesn't happen with just one hand. If she doesn't look for Yuzhe, he won't go looking for her.
Then, won't their relationship slowly fade away? Am I right?
You should just be at ease.
Jiaming.
Boss, you're here.
Thank you.
Sorry. I didn't know that your family encountered such a huge mess.
- How is Uncle? - He still hasn't woken up yet.
Let's go outside and talk.
About my resignation, I'm really so sorry. Don't know if I brought you any trouble because of it.
After you left, Yuzhe also left the show.
The show 'Delicious Destiny' won't be produced anymore.
There's no need for that.
You can give him a new host partner.
It's not like you don't know Yuzhe's motive for joining the show. Probably after you left, he felt like there was no point in staying.
Jiaming, this is my first time seeing Yuzhe put out so much effort for a girl.
Do you know having mutual feelings is a really lucky thing?
If two people love each other, why do they have to run away from each other?
Why are you here?
Yuzhe, I came to visit with you. I brought a red wine that I have been keeping. You don't mind, right?
Of course not.
For what reason...
did you come to see me?
How is the health of Jiaming's father? What really happened to their fried buns shop?
The shop indeed encountered some problems. It has been sold.
Jiaming's father is currently in the hospital.
That severe? Then... aren't they unable to do business anymore?
- That batch of desserts of ours-- - Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
Thank you for your hard work then, Yuzhe.
It's fine for me to work a bit harder.
What's important is Jiaming.
She has to take care of both their little shop and her father.
And now, even her job didn't go her way.
That's true.
In your heart besides Song Jiaming,
there probably won't be anyone else.
No wonder that I got humiliated during the engagement party.
Sorry, didn't think that you were still being affected by that matter.
Right. No matter who it is, such a matter couldn't be so easily forgotten.
It's fine. If you really feel sorry for me,
then drink with me.
Come.
Hang it up. Good.
Okay already.
Why call it some 'Songji Fried Buns'? So old-fashioned.
Our surnames are Song. This is our shop. That's why it should be called Songji.
What do we sell? We sell fried buns. Such a resounding name.
Fine. No sincerity at all.
Let's go back to work.
Come, eat some breakfast. After eating, go attend your graduation ceremony.
Dad, I am graduating from college already and I'm still eating fried buns?
Let me tell you this, Jiaming, if our shop becomes very famous in the future and you have this long line of people outside,
lining up from the doors of our shop until...
to the Bund, and then from the Bund until Pudong,
you won't be able to eat any fried buns anymore even if you wanted to.
Father,
are we really going to lose this little eatery?
Brother Cong, goodbye! Bye-bye!
- Bye bye! Going now! - Take care on your way home!
Bye bye!
- Going now, Brother Cong. - Bye bye.
Yuzhe, we haven't drunk and chatted like this for a long time.
Do you know?
After the engagement party, I had a big cry.
I felt that my life was totally over.
For so many years
and I have never told you that I like you.
I was really careful to avoid those three words because I was afraid of putting pressure on you.
I thought... just by silently staying beside you...
you would then see my worth and get touched by me.
You would accept me and be with me.
But how come you just can't see all my hard work?
Honestly, it's not that I couldn't see it.
Seeing how you have been working hard, I'm indeed touched.
But if I were with you just because I was touched, it will be unfair to you.
You should look for someone who sincerely loves you and is willing to do everything for you.
Only then can you have a blissful life.
But you are the person that I like.
Like you,
I am unable to accept anyone else.
But you know
that the person I love is Song Jiaming.
I know. But didn't she already reject you?
Why must you insist on a relationship that has no future? Your family will never approve of it!
I don't need to get anyone else's approval
to like and be with anyone.
Even if Jiaming refuses to be with me, I will still choose to persist.
I don't really need to care about the opinions of other people.
As for our future together,
I surely will work hard to achieve it.
Yilan...
I still have things to do.
You will never like me no matter what I do, is that it?
Yuzhe, it's okay for you not to love me,
but I"m begging you, can you please not leave me?
Yilan, let go. Let go!
Yilan, let go!
How can you still not understand?
Doing this will only make it more painful, you will not be happy.
I will.
Doesn't matter if it's you or Mom,
this is the only way I can be happy. Only this way will I not lose either of you.
What are you talking about?
I've known since I was young,
there are some things where it doesn't matter how hard I try, it's useless.
Just like how I studied hard to get those 1st place honors on every exam,
so that Mom would praise me and love me.
But in reality... the love I received was never the same as what my younger brother received.
I finally realized
she isn't my biological mother,
so she can abandon me.
But I am very satisfied.
You... what are you saying?
Is Aunty Chen really not your biological mother?
Yes, she's not.
I have never told anyone else about it.
When I was young, my Grandmother told me
when I was just born, my biological mother didn't want me.
Yilan...
Don't pity me.
Even though my mother is not my biological one,
she still gives a small part of her love to me.
I am already very happy with this.
So Yuzhe, I beg you
don't leave me okay?
We can just pretend nothing ever happened
and I can keep being by your side, alright?
Yilan, you should know deep in your heart that we can never be as we were before.
Anyway, I do not deserve the many sacrifices you have to make for me, I can't accept it.
Anyway, no matter what you say,
your heart still only has Song Jiaming in it!
Yilan, are you okay?
Yilan... What happened?
Sorry. Yilan had too much to drink.
- How could you watch her drink so much alcohol? - Sorry.
Mom. Don't blame Yuzhe, I wanted to drink.
Li Yuzhe, didn't you ever stop to think?
Lanlan is in this state, yet she's still defending you.
She's never suffered from injustice,
yet now because of you, so much has happened to her.
She's never complained, not once.
Mom. I'm fine. Yuzhe, you should go first.
Li Yuzhe, if you want to help Lanlan, don't let her suffer anymore.
Mom, my head hurts, I want to drink some hot water.
Alright, darling, Mom will make you some honey water.
Let's go into the house.
Here darling, have a sip.
Slowly, slowly. That's enough.
Yilan, how can a girl drink so much alcohol?
Look at you. You are being tormented by these little love matters all day long.
Let go of Yuzhe. The one he loves isn't you.
Mom understands you, but how will the people outside see you?
In this lifetime,
you must not have been like me,
loving a person this deeply, right?
Well, you can't abandon your self-respect because of love.
I don't care.
For him, I'm willing to do anything.
Yilan, why can't you let him go?
Yes. I've listened to you from a young age.
That's because I really wanted you to love me, I was afraid you would not want me.
That's why I was always so obedient. I was just like all of you,
I also had a loving mother.
I've always been your mother.
Mom, I actually feel like that about Yuzhe too,
only in this way, I will not lose you both.
Now please stop trying to persuade me.
[Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University]
Dad, you're finally awake.
Why am I in the hospital?
What happened before?
Stop worrying about what happened before.
I'm here, so just get better soon.
What about your job?
Boss has already found me a good job.
That's good then.
Dad can't give you a dowry.
Dad. I don't want any dowry.
I just want you to be safe and sound.
Kun Jin, you go in.
Boss!
You're finally awake.
You little brat, I'm in a hospital, where did you go, only coming now?
I... I was busy with work.
You found a new job so quickly?
Yuzhe called around for me
and is giving me a try-out at his restaurant.
He even let me be in charge of procurement.
Didn't Yuzhe and Jiaming break up?
Why is he still there helping you?
Boss, don't be angry, even though they have broken up,
Yuzhe never let go of Jiaming.
With the situation with the shop, he's been helping a lot, with money and power.
Even the issue with Jiaming's loan previously, it was all his idea.
Has it always been him helping us in the background?
So you've been the inside person for Li Yuzhe.
Why didn't you tell us the truth?
Yuzhe said Jiaming's too stubborn,
if she knew, she wouldn't have accepted his help.
Jiaming, Yuzhe doesn't want to give you any pressure. He told me before,
you can make choices and he will wait in the background.
So no matter when, if you turn around, you will be able to find him.
Alright, Kun Jin, stop talking.
Jiaming.
Stop thinking.
Dad told you before, with Yuzhe's family background,
his opinion doesn't count in regards to his marriage.
Wasn't he compromised before?
How can you expect me to believe in him now?
These kids from such good family backgrounds,
one girlfriend today, another one tomorrow.
What responsibilities do they need to take on?
How can I be at ease while entrusting you to him?
Rest easy.
I will not have high hopes for things that do not belong to me.
Oh yes, what's our store's order looking like?
The first batch of date cakes have been sent out, what about the second batch?
Boss, are you talking about the batch of dessert gift boxes for Lishi Corporation?
Boss, you're already so sick, don't worry about this sort of thing.
What we promised others, we must fulfill.
Although I don't like Li Yuzhe,
seeing that we promised,
it doesn't matter if I'm sick.
Our Song family's Fried Dumplings has been open for tens of years
all because we have a good reputation.
When I was young, so many people were lining up...
Dad is so firmly holding onto the Fried Dumpling shop.
If he really gives it up, he will definitely be extremely upset.
[Yilan]
You rest up, I'll go outside and take this call.
Hello, Yilan.
Jiaming, I heard from Yuzhe that the Song's Fried Dumpling shop has been transferred over.
Yes. But don't worry
I will find a way to finish making your batch of dessert gift boxes.
Find a way? What other plan do you have?
Will you go borrow money or borrow someone else's kitchen?
I...
Jiaming, I don't want to make things difficult for you.
But just because your shop has problems,
my corporation can't be the one to take the risk.
I heard that your dad is sick and in hospital.
If that's the case, then you should look after your dad.
The issue with the dessert gift boxes,
just forget about it, okay?
Alright, we can only do it this way.
I'm very sorry, to cause you trouble.
Fine, this afternoon I will bring the cancellation contract.
Let's meet at Yuzhe's restaurant.
Aunty Chen, why are you here?
I'm here because we didn't finish talking yesterday.
Yesterday, we made you worry,
it was my fault. I'm very sorry.
Sit down.
Yuzhe, I know I can't blame you for this situation, you have your own difficulties,
but I am Yilan's mother.
I see my daughter being preoccupied all day
and I am very upset.
Sorry.
But Aunty Chen, Yilan should marry someone who truly loves and likes her.
Isn't that the way for her to happy?
Then you really can't accept Yilan?
Sorry, the one I love is not Yilan.
You love Song Jiaming, right?
Yes, I do.
Good. Then from now on, don't contact Yilan.
But I have known Yilan for so many years.
She is like my younger sister.
I can't stop contacting her because of this issue, right?
Yuzhe, you see her as a younger sister, but she doesn't see you as an older brother.
If you aren't cruel to her, then she can't get over you.
The two of you either need to be husband and wife
or exist as strangers. There is no third option.
I promise you.
Good.
Goodbye.
You...
Mom.
Yilan.
Jiaming, you're here.
I'll introduce you, This is Song Jiaming, the one who hosted with Yuzhe on the show.
Jiaming, this is my mother.
Hello, Aunty.
Hello.
You go in first, I'll come find you in a bit.
Mom, why are you here?
No reason, I just wanted to see Yuzhe's attitude.
If he can't let go of Song Jiaming...
This issue, you should stop worrying about it.
Mom is doing this for your own good.
I can see that Song Jiaming and Yuzhe don't have a simple relationship.
If you look at how she looked when she walked in, it was as though she were walking into her own home.
Daughter, is this worth the trouble?
Mom, because of work, I was the one who invited Jiaming today.
Work?
I'll tell you when I get home.
All right.
I just came over from the hospital, I didn't have time to change my clothes.
Today isn't a formal occasion, it doesn't matter what you wear.
Moreover, this casual attire is very suitable for the show.
Oh that's right, I forgot
you no longer have that job now.
When was your last meal?
I don't remember. Probably lunch.
You clearly did not have lunch.
I went to the kitchen earlier and had A'Cong prepare some food for you.
After eating, go home and take a hot shower, sleep a while.
Even if you need to look after your dad in the hospital,
you can't forget to look after yourself.
Today we are here to discuss work,
any private matters, talk about them later.
Hi Boss,
Jiaming, I contacted the representative from the new company.
Today at 3 pm, report to Sansui Television Station to sign the contract.
I understand. I'll go over when I'm done here.
Thank you Boss for finding a new job for me.
You found a new job so quickly.
Congratulations.
No job, and the Fried Dumpling shop can't stay open anymore.
I must find a way to make a living, right?
By the way, did you bring the cancellation contract?
I can sign it anytime.
Originally, the contract says to pay liquidation damages,
but to save Yuzhe's reputation, I'll forego the liquidation damages.
Really? Thank you.
Yilan. Thank you.
For this situation, I had to talk to the Board of Directors for a long time for it to pass.
You need to treat me to a meal.
Head Chef, the lobsters are here, you should come and check it out now.
Don't read it, it's all just some useless things.
If it wasn't for Yuzhe pleading for you, did you think it would so easily resolved?
Yuzhe pleaded for me?
Of course.
Your small shop went bankrupt, the contract was broken,
having to pay liquidation damage fees is a given.
But Yuzhe kept begging me, even mentioned he'd pay the fee for you.
I have never seen him being so subservient.
You keep repeating that Yuzhe cares about you,
but what about you? You only bring him trouble.
Song Jiaming, I initially told you to leave Yuzhe because I was scared this would happen.
Don't think that everything you have now is because you worked hard
or because of your shop's reputation.
If Yuzhe wasn't here to vouch for you,
could you have received such a big contract?
If it weren't for him, who would hire your family of street vendors?
Yilan, if you are canceling the contract because you don't like me,
I can understand.
But I guarantee with my life,
our Song family's fried dumpling shop is not some ordinary street vendor
and my dad's reputation was not earned through anyone's pity.
What you are saying right now means nothing.
You've found a new job and can leave,
but the broken vendor contract that is left behind needs to be cleaned up now by Yuzhe.
Very well then, if it's like that,
this cancellation contract, I'm not signing it.
My dad is sick, but there is still me, the fried dumpling shop is gone but we can find it a new home.
I can even give up my new job. But you can be rest assured,
this batch of dessert gift boxes, I will deliver them to you.
These words came out of your own mouth.
Indeed. I will deliver the dessert gift boxes at the originally designated time.
Fine, then I'll just wait for the delivery.
I hope this time you won't have any more excuses and plead with Yuzhe for help.
Don't worry.
1-2-3-4-6-7-8...
A'Cong, look after the inside of the shop for a bit.
I will need to go to the hospital in a bit.
The Song family has so many people, why do you need to go?
Also, they don't even want to see you.
What did you say? Jiaming not only doesn't sleep or eat while looking after her father in the hospital,
but she also needs to run errands.
What will happen if she collapses from exhaustion? What if some emergency occurs and there is no one there to help her?
No matter what, I will be by her side, looking after her.
Boss.
Sorry, I came late.
No worries, the contract is all ready, let's go up.
Boss. I...
I don't want to sign it.
Why not?
I need to put all my effort into the fried bun shop,
I'm afraid I have to let go of this job.
But isn't working as a TV host your dream?
Yes.
I wanted to be a host of a TV program because that way my mom would see me.
But now, I should put my effort into looking after my father.
So what I should be doing now,
is to continue to open the fried bun shop.
All right then, if you've already decided, I won't persuade you.
Sorry Boss,
you've helped me a lot, I still ended up disappointing you.
What are you saying? But Jiaming, you have the talent to become a good TV host.
If you regret your decision in the future, come find me.
Thank you Boss.
Then I'll get going.
The food in the hospital is not as good as what your daughter brings you.
We are all envious of your treatment.
By the way, why isn't your daughter coming here today?
She had to tie up some things at the shop today.
I'm causing you trouble, so thank you.
No need, this is what I should do. Call me when you need me.
Don't touch the needle in your arm.
All right.
Uncle Song!
Uncle Song! Uncle Song!
Doctor! Doctor!
Grandma, Mom, Dad, I'm back.
You're back, Yilan.
Yilan, how was your chat with Jiaming and Yuzhe?
It went well, she probably won't be able to support herself for much longer.
Why not?
Originally, Song Jiaming was going to sign a cancellation contract with me.
But I used indirect psychology in order to get her to continue our partnership.
For this order, she will even give up her new job.
She didn't think about there being someone in the hospital in need of her care
and she doesn't have a kitchen to even make the desserts.
Most importantly, what will she use to buy her ingredients?
This time, even if Yuzhe once again tries to help her,
I don't think she can support herself for much longer.
Did you hear that? Song Jiaming lets her emotions cloud her judgment.
She's so smart. This is called making use of a weakness and playing to it.
You did well.
This mess is getting worse and worse.
I don't know how she plans to eventually clean it all up.
Yilan, this Song Jiaming didn't do anything to truly hurt you,
why are you forcing her down such a bad path?
Mom, how can you talk up for her?
She clearly forced me first.
YIlan, how can you talk to your mom like this?
Looking at your domineering attitude, you're acting like a girl from some noble family.
What are you talking about?
Who's domineering? How is this being domineering?
Lanlan has done well, this is exactly how you deal with people.
It's at least better than some other person in this family,
always hiding in the house and eating our food, right?
Mom, we're disciplining our child, how can you--
How are you disciplining her?
Who is she? She is your daughter.
She is at a crucial point right now and you keep pouring cold water on her.
I want to ask you, Mr. Ye,
eh... that face (reputation) of yours, is it really so important to you?
