[Negotiator]
[Final Episode]
There was a document I had to sign. I didn't have a pen on hand.
I found this pen in your drawer so I used it.
I later dropped it into my bag.
It's okay.
Is this pen really important?
This was given to Tong Wei by her late father.
Is it a token of love she gave you?
Forget it. It's in the past already.
Don't bring it up.
Xiao Fei, I'm really scared.
I'm scared of losing you again.
It's okay. I'm right here.
Everybody knows we're engaged.
I can't run off.
Good.
Xie Xiao Fei has really gone too far this time.
Even though he and Tong Wei have already broken up
no matter what, they were once together.
He shouldn't be like this.
Zhao Chen Xi was picking out wedding dresses
and he made Tong Wei watch.
Was he deliberately embarrassing her?
He really crossed the line.
Director Zhou gave her time off to protect her from this
but Xie Xiao Fei made a fuss and Tong Wei had to take on the case.
Mr. Qin, can you help me talk to her?
If she doesn't go to work, Xie Xiao Fei can't do anything to her.
Here's what.
I'll go talk to Xiao Fei.
I'm meeting you today to tell you I'm getting married.
I know you're getting married.
But don't expect to hear well-wishes from me.
The bride is Bi Chen, not Tong Wei.
The br...
Hold on.
The bride is Bi Chen?
Not Tong Wei?
I've already given up on Tong Wei.
My feelings for her all these years
were more like admiration.
It wasn't love.
So even if we got together, we probably wouldn't have been happy.
Wait up.
But you bought Tong Wei's house for her
and she accepted it.
Can you tell me what that's about?
The house is very important to her.
Of course, she wouldn't take it for free.
Oh, right.
This is the IOU she wrote me.
It includes the repayment plan.
See for yourself.
Xiao Fei, I've already explained
any misunderstandings you might have about me.
Now it's time for you to tell me what happened between you and Tong Wei.
It's really a long story.
It was a very messy situation.
My dad was worried about our marriage because of Tong Wei's dad's scandal.
My dad actually really wants to help Tong Wei.
But Tong Wei got very emotionally as soon as this topic was mentioned.
She had a quarrel with my dad.
My dad had a sudden heart attack.
I really wanted to work out the conflicts they had
but then Tong Wei suddenly told me she was returning to China
saying Shan Shan was in trouble.
My mom was on the verge of death.
Can you tell me what I could've done in that moment?
I was going crazy.
I couldn't do anything.
Xiao Fei.
I think there are a lot of issues between you and Tong Wei
that haven't been explained yet.
She has been very emotionally unstable since she returned to China
and you never showed up.
A few months later, you're now getting married to Zhao Chen Xi.
- What is she going to think? - How am I supposed to explain?
- In this kind of situation, I-- - It's not too late right now.
Xiao Fei.
Put aside your pride and go to Tong Wei.
You two didn't come this far very easily.
Don't give up so easily. Okay?
Can I ask you a question?
Why are you helping me?
Because I finally found happiness of my own.
So...
You two are my friends.
I hope you can find happiness like I did.
Welcome to Xie Xiao Fei's private kitchen.
Miss, please come with me.
I made this signature coconut chicken myself.
Shouldn't you be weeping grateful tears
and thanking heaven and earth that you met me?
Thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm proud of you.
Welcome to Xie Xiao Fei's private kitchen.
What would you like to eat today?
Chairman Fei, just tell me what urgent business you have.
I did the wrong thing during Shan Shan's incident.
Let's not talk about that.
You have to hear me out.
After seeing you off that day
I rushed to the hospital.
The doctor told me...
my mother passed away.
Do you know I fell apart?
Even though my mom had been in a coma for years
strictly speaking, she was only hanging on by a breath.
She was no different from being dead.
But I felt...
that as long as she was lying there
she was still alive.
There would still be a strength supporting me.
That was until that day.
She was wheeled out of the room.
She's never coming back.
Do you know?
That was the darkest day of my life.
Because I lost
the two most important women in my life at the same time.
I started drinking from that day on.
I drank until I had alcohol poisoning.
If not for Chen Xi taking care of me every day
I don't know what would've happened.
I tried calling you later.
I thought you got together with Qin Tian Yu.
You thought I got together with Qin Tian Yu.
So you got engaged with Zhao Chen Xi.
I really didn't know what to do with her.
She ran away from her wedding for me.
Song Yong published that he severed ties with her.
Adding on the news that you were with Qin Tian Yu...
I really lost all hope.
But Tong Wei...
When I saw you again...
I realized...
I can't lie to myself.
I really can't forget you.
So what if you can't forget me?
You're no longer the same as before.
You're now responsible for all of X-Group.
You're no longer the fearless Xie Xiao Fei from a year ago.
We experienced so many twists and turns.
If we could get through them in the past, we can now.
Don't be so childish.
What we experienced before was nothing.
The difficulties you experienced in the past were because you had no money.
Now?
There are too many obstacles between us now.
Identity, status, and where we both stand.
And your dad.
Zhao Chen Xi.
And Shan Shan and her child.
These will all become ticking time bombs in our relationship.
Have you thought about that?
I really don't want to go through this again.
Xiao Fei.
Not all couples can grow old together.
Just let the past remain in the past.
I wish you happiness.
Tong Wei.
Hello, hello. One, two, three. One, two, three.
Okay.
Where's your manager?
Tong Wei has gone to the airport to pick up your father.
I've been so busy I've forgotten to pick him up.
It's not your fault.
Tong Wei said you have the rehearsal for your engagement party tomorrow
so she didn't notify you.
Xiao Fei.
You're here.
You're so beautiful, Ms. Zhao.
Thank you.
What do you think?
It's nice.
Xiao Fei, I want to go somewhere, Can you come with me?
Ms. Zhao, the rehearsal will begin soon. Where are you going?
A special place.
Can you, Xiao Fei?
Let's go.
Where are we going?
You'll know when we get there.
Chairman.
- Chairman. - Ms. Tong, I hope you've been well.
You are looking well.
Let's go this way.
- You're not here to hike, are you? - Enough talking.
Let's see who can get to the top first.
You're going to race me dressed like that?
If you win, I'll let you break off the engagement.
What are you saying?
If you lose, you'll have to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me.
I take your silence as acceptance.
Get set!
Go.
Xiao Fei, are you not even going to hide what you truly want?
Zhao Chen Xi, keep going. You're almost there.
Why are you so slow?
Do you want to give me the chance to call off the engagement?
I won! I won!
Yes, you won.
Please enter.
Ms. Negotiator, we meet again.
It's been a while, CEO Chen. What have you been busy with?
I've been busy scaling Mount Everest.
That's impressive.
Not at all.
Others hike up there. I was carried up there. I'm getting old.
CEO Chen, you're such a jokester. Please go on in.
Okay.
This looks nice.
Uncle Lei and Uncle Cai.
Wei Wei, hello!
- Have you been well lately? - Pretty good.
Come.
I heard that aside from announcing some important decisions
X-Group will also be announcing Xie Xiao Fei's marriage with Ke Wan.
Yes.
When I agreed to support Xie Xiao Fei during his family feud
I was doing it for you.
Now he has regained power but marrying another.
That isn't right! I have to give him an earful.
Uncle Cai, Xiao Fei and I broke up peacefully.
I explained that to you.
I thought it was just a lovers' spat.
You really did break up?
It's for real.
It's okay. He and I are still friends.
Would I have worked on this reception otherwise?
Is that the truth?
Don't tease me, Uncle Cai.
- All right. I'll go in now. - Okay.
Manager, Zhao Chen Xi is missing.
Ke Wan's people are panicking.
I understand.
I heard Ms. Zhao isn't here yet.
Has something happened? Is she stuck in traffic?
I don't know. Xiao Tian is checking.
Hello, Cui Xi? Call the traffic police.
Ask them to check
if there are any traffic incidents between Ms. Zhao's house to here.
Get on it.
Zhao Chen Xi is missing.
Are you secretly delighted at all?
I'm not that nasty.
Xiao Fei, everyone's arrived. Why are you two still here?
Dad, Chen Xi...
She's missing.
Missing?
What's going on?
We're checking.
Let's not worry about her for now.
X-Group's Chinese and American partners have already arrived.
We can't make a fool of ourselves.
Let's cancel the engagement segment.
Okay, I'll go make arrangements.
Chairman, it's about time. Head on to the ballroom.
Ms. Tong.
Sorry.
Don't say that.
I'll get going.
Congratulations...
I'm very thankful all of you
took time out of your busy schedules to come here.
I welcome you on behalf of all of X-Group.
We have here old friends from the U.S.
and new friends from China.
We invited you to gather here
because X-Group has some important announcements to make.
The first is a personal announcement from Xie family.
My son, Xie Xiao Fei, and Ke Wan Corporation's Ms. Zhao Chen Xi
are about to be engaged.
Is the chairman confused?
He said he wasn't going to announce the engagement.
Just keep listening.
But now, it seems the engagement won't be happening.
Something as important as marriage must not be taken lightly.
What I'm about to say is news even to my son.
Actually, Chen Xi came to see me just last night.
We had a private discussion.
- Take your time. - Sit, Chen Xi.
Sit down.
What did you come to see me for?
Um... It's getting late. I'm going to get some rest.
Now do you feel free to talk?
I'm sorry, Uncle.
What's wrong?
I...
I can't marry Xiao Fei.
Why?
- Did Xiao Fei-- - No.
He has been very nice.
It's just that the one he loves isn't me but Tong Wei.
Chen Xi, you must have known this from the beginning.
Yes.
In the beginning
I thought as long as he was willing to be with me
I would be willing to spend a lifetime with him.
I'm about to marry him now.
I realized I can't do it.
But...
Did Xiao Fei do something to hurt you again?
No.
I took him hiking today.
I joked with him.
If he got to the top before me
I would let him call off the engagement.
Of course, I was just joking.
Right from the start
he already left me in the dust.
Near the top
he intentionally stopped to wait for me
to let me pass him.
This gesture made me very sad.
Did he think I was serious?
Did he think he could call off the engagement if he beat me?
It made me even sadder that he stopped to wait for me.
That's because this marriage...
is his kindness to me.
I can't let myself live on someone's charity.
Uncle, I'm sorry.
I know that backing out the day before the engagement
is practically a family scandal for you.
I've also become a repeat fleeing bride.
No.
Chen Xi, it is our Xie family that has let you down.
It is Xiao Fei who has wronged you.
I'm sorry.
The scandal has come out today.
A few years ago, I wouldn't have made this family scandal public.
But, people change.
I'm getting old. I no longer care so much about pride.
Since Ms. Zhao has made her decision
the Xie family will respect it.
Please excuse this farce.
Now that the bad news is over with, let me announce some good news.
Looking back on X-Group's last 100 years makes me very emotional.
In the final years of the Qing dynasty
my great grandfather, Xie Zhen Nan, immigrated our family to the U.S.
He had with him ink and paper and silks and brocades
and the 18 treasured teachings passed down in the Xie family
representative of the charm of China
as an expression of thoughts of our homeland.
Later on, X-Group created a hotel with the name 18 Secrets.
My great grandfather added one more to the Xie family teachings.
Home and country are interdependent.
Only with a country will there be a home.
Should our country prosper one day
Xie descendants must return to their roots.
Today, I solemnly declare
the Xie family has returned.
What is Dad trying to say in his speech?
I don't know either. This wasn't in the speech draft.
We can't let him continue.
I'm afraid he'll say the wrong thing.
The Xie family has continued to pass on
the Chinese culture and hardworking nature
that 18 Secrets represents.
X-Group's return is not completely unrelated to the nation's prosperity.
I pondered what personal significance the nation's prosperity has on us.
Excuse me.
My dad hasn't been in good health.
- Do you need to rest? - Xiao Fei, let me finish.
It's said fathers and sons were enemies in a past life. That's us.
Years ago, I always hoped you would grow up
be independent, and take on greater responsibilities.
You've now lived up to expectations and have grown up.
And I? I looked back on my life.
In other people's eyes, I may seem well-off and successful
but only I know that I am a failure.
I married Xiao Fei's mother but allowed her to suffer misfortunes.
I nearly let my only son become an enemy.
I've also been unworthy of my current wife's deep affections.
Looking back on my life
besides my career, it can be said I have accomplished nothing.
I was about to make my son repeat the life I had.
I never blamed you, Dad.
No.
Xiao Fei, there are too many things you don't know.
I had used malicious words to tarnish the memory of Ms. Tong's father.
I used despicable methods to force Ms. Tong to leave.
Afterward, I denied doing this.
When people grow old, they reflect on their own lives.
I realized something terrifying.
My son is turning into who I once was.
A hundred years ago, why did my ancestors leave our homeland
and travel across the ocean to reach the U.S.?
Wasn't it to provide a better life for their descendants?
But, Xiao Fei, are you happy now?
I'm great.
No.
You can't deceive me.
Be it in our family or our country
we work hard not for things as fleeting as fame and fortune
but to allow our family to live a prosperous and contented life.
This is the significance in the prosperity of a family or nation.
I once again declare X-Group is back!
This is a new beginning.
More importantly
I hope my son can begin his life anew from this moment forth.
Ms. Tong.
Please accept my apology.
Chairman, don't mention the past.
Thank you.
Please give another chance to Xiao Fei.
Wait for me.
I'll come back to find you after I finish handling everything.
Xiao Fei, I'm leaving.
I used up a lifetime of energy loving you.
What I received in return was your pity handout.
What broke me down weren't howling winds and torrential rains
but the gloomy skies that will never clear.
Goodbye. I'm off to search for my clear skies.
It's you?
- Where's your sister? - She's not home.
- Where did she go? - Why are you so late?
- Tell me where she went. - Hold on.
Here.
What's this?
Thank you.
Go for it, Bro-in-law!
- Hello! - Hello.
Give me a ticket to Hawaii.
Let me check.
The earliest flight is tomorrow at noon. Is that okay?
- Are there none today? - There are none.
Thank you.
- This is for you. - Thank you.
Our story has reached its finale
but life continues on.
If we continue to love each other
will we have to continue enduring the wild wind and rain?
Is there a love that will always bring happiness without any hurt?
I want to find the answer by myself.
Hi, Rita.
Wei! Sweetheart!
What a big surprise!
Do you remember me?
Of course I remember you! Come here. Come sit down.
Every one of these photos is such strong memories for me.
This couple, oh, they're so sweet.
I'm... I'm afraid they may have broken up though.
Xiao Fei! I knew you would come! I knew you would.
Rita.
Tong Wei?
Hello.
So you and Wei are still together after all you've been through.
That's remarkable.
I was too young back then.
I did a lot of things that hurt us both.
But if God were to give me another chance...
So where will you find Wei next?
I don't know, but...
I feel like she's waiting for me somewhere.
Of course, sweetie.
Rita?
You know where she is.
Right? Come on.
Don't do this.
You made it.
Do you still remember this place?
How could I forget?
It's so peaceful here.
Do you still remember?
I said I'd give you a romance encompassing heaven and earth.
How could I forget?
The whole world is witness to our love.
I just don't understand sometimes.
Why would so much unhappiness occur in something as happy as love?
If you can't understand, stop thinking about it.
You just have to focus on loving me.
Don't leave me.
Don't resist what fate has in store for you.
That's enough.
We've been through so much to get to where we are now.
I love you, Tong Wei.
Marry me.
- I... - What?
Are you going to say no?
We're not heading back until you say yes.
Let's head back.
What? You haven't said yes yet!
I said...
Let's head back.
You're saying yes?
Take a guess.
More guessing?
You've been making me guess every single day!
You want me to guess this too?
