[The Way We Were]
[Episode 30]
Is ¥2 to 3 million still little?
Between several millions and several billions,
it's only a difference of amount but not of quality. They basically mean the same.
Aren't you being too exaggerated?
When an avalanche happens, none of those individual snow will think that it was their fault.
Okay. You're always right.
I thank the heaven for letting me and your father have a super perfect child like you.
Let's end here.
Your father and I will never force you to do a similar thing again.
Don't you want to live a life without the help of your parents? Then do it.
You think Iike money?
I just want our family to have a peaceful and stable life.
Can you call your father?
He betrayed me once, yet I was still able to forgive him.
He didn't do anything wrong to you.
At most, he just forced his views on you. But on the bottom of it all, it was all for your own good.
Can't you just forgive him once like me?
Now...
I temporarily am unable to do it.
Mom,
even if you are able to forgive my father for infidelity,
but their actions of hiring someone to deliberately harm Liu Caiqi for her to have a miscarriage...
....you also can forgive?
You're not talking means that you can forgive it.
I understand.
Even if I don't forgive him, so what?
A woman in my age, what else can I afford to lose?
You want me to be like you, unwilling to be tainted and would rather die than get bent.
Then it would be losing my husband, losing my family, losing everything,
and in the end just have a son like you, is that it?!
Shu Che, you will understand sooner or later,
that in this world,
there are no absolute pure relationship and absolute loyalty.
The more there is no absolute whole.
Everything that you have are badly damaged.
But even if it's a whole made from badly damaged pieces,
it is still a whole.
[5/1: Company montly meeting...]
[5/9: Last exam; 5/18: Master's graduation]
[The field will soon get covered with overgrowth.]
Sit.
Our partnership proposal with CE
was still rejected by the board.
This group of old men...
...wants to use their cold war thinking
to decide the current globalization market.
They will pay a price for being conservative, a heavy price.
If we're unable to get this huge project of Weiye,
not improving for CE means regressing. In the next few years, the company will surely rapidly decline.
We will lose to the Germans and the Japanese.
Completely withdrawing from the international top of the line
manufacturing enterprise field!
Rooney, don't get agitated. Sit down.
Did they also tell you that money doesn't represent everything.
I refuse to accept this result.
I can't accept that the business strategy
that we've tried hard to design for the past 2 years just getting written off by these conservatives.
Since things have come to this, what else are you planning?
I will do my best to...
...try to redeem this. Don't give up on working with CE
and our mighty alliance, okay?
What can you still do?
Just give me some more time.
I'll give it some thought.
Look for
flexible routes.
Rooney,
do you Americans also know to be flexible?
I guarantee that I will let you and Weiye get the core technology of CE.
Rooney, you have been tiring yourself and worrying excessively these past 2 days.
What you need the most now is rest.
Frank. Accompany Mr. Rooney back.
Okay. Please.
No need. I'll drive back by myself.
Oh, Rooney. Once my matter here is done,
I'll be leaving San Francisco in a few days to return to China. We'll be parting ways from here on then.
Chairman Cheng, please give me one more chance. Just one more month.
Rooney, we will still forever be friends.
Chairman Cheng, are you still going to wait for him?
This Rooney
is persistent because he wasn't able to fulfill his business plans
and individual interest.
I can't let an obsessive enthusiast lead me by the nose.
Rooney had to be abandoned.
Regarding Liu Caiqi, what should we do?
Don't do anything. Just take good care of her.
At the bottom of it all, a woman
will just want to live peacefully.
Although we lost a few tracks here in San Francisco,
it's enough to hinder Weiye's progressive wheels.
I can't let this thing to end just like this.
I begged Cheng Wei to give me some more time.
You think he will give up on me?
Based on my understanding of him,
he will.
Hence, I must strive
to make a comeback.
Rooney, it doesn't matter.
If it has ended, then it has ended.
Without wild ambitions, you still can continue to live peacefully.
You women...don't understand men.
Wild ambitions are everything.
If they're gone, then the man has gone old.
Maybe if you separate with Cheng Wei like this,
it might be a blessing for you.
You have never really understood
what kind of person Cheng Wei is.
Ha? Why do you say so?
Now, you got kicked out.
You are not anymore his joint body of interest.
I finally can tell you a lot of truths
and who I really am.
First, that car crash isn't an accident.
That driver was only a puppet.
The one who instructed him to hit my car
and the killer of my child is Cheng Wei.
What?
I am shocked by your words.
That's just nothing.
There are still more secrets.
I am not his lover.
That child isn't his.
But it doesn't represent that the child's father has nothing to do with you and him.
Quite the opposite. He is of high status and a powerful man.
He decides for you and Cheng Wei's fate.
He is...
The backer of Cheng Wei.
He is your lover?
Do you now understand why I got sent to the US?
When my existence started to threaten their reputation,
position, and business,
they even hoped that I disappear.
You now understand that child didn't die of an accident.
For them, an illegitimate child
is like a bomb that can go off anytime.
How could they let him get born?
These past days, I was also like you.
I kept getting driven by wild obsessive thoughts.
What thoughts?
If I will bet the remaining half of my life
to destroy them.
Hi, Professor.
Xiao! Have you seen Shu Che lately?
I've looked for him several times and I can't find him.
We're busy with the exam.
I...haven't seen him...for almost a week.
If you do see him, please tell him to come find me.
Is there anything urgent? I can call him now
if you want. Hang on.
His phone's turned off.
The law school will soon send him an offer for a JD program that he applied for.
It's not a full scholarship, but it is a sizable amount of money.
So, I just want to give him the good news as soon as possible.
Really? That's great.
If you see him, tell him that please.
- Sure. Thank you, Professor. Bye. - Bye.
Shu Che!
Shu Che! Open the door!
I know that you're inside!
- Hello. - Hi.
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Shu Che. Have you seen him lately?
No. Maybe he's out.
His car and bike are both here, so I thought that he's probably home.
Even so, it's none of your business.
He can do whatever he wants.
I'm his friend and I haven't heard from him for days,
which makes me worried. You have his house keys, don't you?
Could you please open the door for me?
I can't. Although I'm his landlady,
I shouldn't let people go in without his permission.
How about we go to check together?
I will leave right away if he's not here.
I won't open the door unless you have his permission
or let him call me. Goodbye.
You're trespassing. I can call the cops.
I'll pay for the glass.
Do you have anything important?
I do. And it's a good news.
Professor Anderson has been looking for you for several days. He said that the law school has given you a JD offer.
Hence, you now have a huge scholarship.
Also, you have successfully been demoted to being my junior.
I got it. You can leave now.
Don't! It wasn't easy to get in. Won't you let me sit inside for a while?
What scent is this? What's going on with you these past days?
None of your business. No one let you in to smell some scent.
It smells rotten.
I'm going to sleep.
You're still sleeping on the sofa?
None of your business. Hurry and leave. Or else, I'm calling the cops.
Such a mess. You were just at home these past days and didn't go out?
If you have something to say, just say it. If none, quickly leave.
I do. Don't you still have one exam that you haven't taken? What day is it?
What date is today?
May 8.
Tomorrow.
You're having an exam tomorrow, yet you're still idling around here. Hurry and get up. Hey!
Stop lying down. Hurry and get up. Wash up and review your lessons.
Stop minding me. Hurry and leave.
Why is your hand so hot?
You have a fever!
Do you have any thermometer here?
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you're sick?
Who are you trying to impress with your masochism?
I'll call the doctor.
How is he, doctor?
He has fever.
It's because he has tonsillitis,
which might have developed from a weak immune system.
Was he too exhausted lately
or in a bad mood?
Was he not resting regularly?
He indeed is in a bad mood lately.
He might have not went out for a few days and ate a lot of junk foods.
The problem isn't grave.
Just take some antipyretics and drink a lot of warm water.
Oh, right. Do you know how to do physical cooling?
A little.
But I'm worried if it will be too slow.
Shouldn't he get some intravenous medicine now?
No need. His current condition isn't severe enough to require antibiotics.
He still has another pre-graduation exam tomorrow. If the fever doesn't go away, it will be troublesome.
Had to trouble you then.
Starting now, keep guarding him.
Continue to do physical cooling. His fever will most likely abate by tomorrow morning.
If you need me, just call me tomorrow morning and I'll check him again.
- Thank you, doctor. - Goodbye.
Hello.
Hello, Miao Ying. Are you busy?
I...am in school. I just got out from the library.
That...I'm in Shu Che's house.
His condition is currently quite bad and he kept just lying down.
The doctor checked him earlier and said that there are no other way but to rely on physical cooling.
There must be someone who will stay by his side to take care of him.
What does that got to do with me?
Why don't you just come by for a while?
What happened here that it's in such a big mess?
I've just given him an antipyretic.
The doctor repeatedly told me to do physical cooling on him.
I'll rub him with some alcohol.
Okay. Let him drink some water.
Why haven't you left yet?
Why are you here?
Drink more water.
I don't want to see you again.
Please...don't appear in this place again.
We're finished.
He is just delirious from the fever.
Don't mind him.
Please take care of him.
I'll get going now.
[The field will soon get covered with overgrowth.]
Why are you not making a sound when you're already awake?
Hurry and drink some more water.
Why are you looking at me?
Don't ask me to leave again.
If you do, I really will leave.
Your fever seemed to have gone down.
What is it now?
Thank you.
Drink some more.
You're awake.
Great! Your fever is gone.
Quickly get up and take your exam, okay?
No.
Why?
I don't have the energy.
You just got sick. It's just normal to feel weak.
It s nothing. Just get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, and you'll be alright.
I'll prepare you a nutritious drink for supplemental energy, how about it?
I really can't.
Enough already. Stop lying down, Hurry and get up.
We don't have time anymore. Come, get up!
Didn't I say it already?! I can't!
With you shouting loudly like that.
I think you're already 60% recovered.
As long as it's not a physical education exam, you'll be fine.
Enough already. Get up.
Stop pulling me!
Can you stop being so delicate?!
I really can't stand how you are now.
You're the only one hurt in this world, is that it?
Only you have broken up with someone and are brokenhearted in this world, is that it?
That's why, it's just right and proper for you to feel depressed, to harm yourself,
and not care about anything. Is that it?
Isn't it just an exam? What's the big deal?
At most, just retake it again.
I'm not in the mood today and not willing to take it. Is that what you mean?!
Shu Che, breaking up and getting brokenhearted is your own choice.
It was also you who actively requested the company to close down.
You did all these to preserve your lower limit. I know it very clearly and I admire you for that.
But from now on, are you planning to act dispirited?
Stand up from where you fell. Is this still you?!
Field will always be your Field.
Since you have the courage to leave it overgrown with weeds, then you should have the courage to rebuild it!
[The field will soon get overgrown with weeds.]
Let me tell you this, Shu Che.
Today, I must force you to take your exam so as to remind you that
other than romances and opening a company, there are still more important things in your life.
You came to the US to study.
3 years of MBS is more than a thousand days.
Even if you don't want to take responsibility for the tuition fee and living allowances that your parents spent for you,
you must take responsibility for the hard work and time you've spent for it. You get it?!
Every day that we're here in the US studying,
every minute, every hour,
will all require money. No one has the right to abandon themselves to despair.
Even just wasting one day, no one has the right to do it.
Today, even if you have to crawl to your exam, you will! Get up!
What are you looking at? I'm brushing my teeth!
Why are you holding my towel?
Let me lock it.
Give me the car keys. I'll drive.
Once in the car, drink this nutritious drink.
Here.
How did it go?
Did you do well?
Regardless, I must pass.
I was worried that you'll get carried out in the middle of the exam.
I was so worried that you'll pull me up again and shoved me back to the test venue,
hence, I endured and finished it.
- I'm hungry. - Let's have some pork leg.
Come, Little Qing, assist your emperor to his car.
I really am very hungry.
Jeez, get in.
Close the car's door.
Rooney?!
Your condition today seem very well. Did anything good happen?
It's because of a matter that's about to happen.
What do you mean?
