[Episode 25]
You're the one suspecting. Now you're also the one not believing it.
What can I say?
Yet another one. Is there no end to this?
How can I clean up like this? Honestly.
Legs up. Thank you.
Auntie, it's so late. Why don't you go home?
I have to clean up.
Come another day to discuss life and dreams with him. Legs up.
How can I leave before he explains to me?
Explain what to you? What do you want him to explain to you?
He is only wearing shorts right now.
You came dressed like this to find a man who's only wearing shorts.
Is that appropriate? Can he explain himself?
You even brought wine. There must be something else on your mind.
Why don't you come again tomorrow?
Wu Zheng, do something.
I don't call the shots now.
She's going to stay at your house like this?
He carried her home.
I carried her home.
I can carry her here so I can carry you away.
Go.
Wu Zheng!
Kid!
Hello? You are Lin Xiao Ou's friend, right?
Who are you? Where's Lin Xiao Ou? What have you done to her?
What have I done to her? Why don't you ask what she's done to me?
I'm her student's parent.
You must be that undependable airline captain.
You must be that unscrupulous lawyer.
Why do you have Lin Xiao Ou's phone? Have her come to the phone.
She can't right now.
She's lying on my sofa in a drunken stupor.
Why did you force her to drink so much?
This may be a vulnerable period for her but you can't swoop in while she's weak.
You're a lawyer. You know the emphasis on evidence.
Did you see me force her to drink?
Did you see me having improper thoughts about her?
If I had any desires for anybody, they wouldn't be for her.
All right. Send me your address. I'll come get her right away.
- Just wait. - You wait!
This is quite a high-tech phone.
Why am I here?
You're up?
- Why are you here? - I...
I'm at my house.
You... Where should I start?
You're taking so long to get over your breakup.
You even drank yourself into this state.
You even dragged a student drinking with you.
You're really something.
- Where's Xiao Han? - Don't worry about him for now.
Don't you have something to say to me? Say it.
I don't have anything to say to you.
There is truth in a drunken man's words.
I'll give you 10 minutes. Talk.
The mood is quite strange.
What's going on?
It's a bit hot.
Hot?
How come my teacher moved to the other side?
How come she moved to the other side?
She might be a bit too far gone.
How about this?
Take this sprayer and spray some water on your teacher's face.
Then she might wake up.
Come off it.
Once a teacher, always... a mother!
How can I spray something at my mother's face?
- Are you spraying? - No.
- If you don't, I'll do it. - Do it.
You think I won't?
You two... are really something!
What's next?
You have a low tolerance for alcohol but still went out drinking.
You'll cause social instability.
Listen up.
One of you is going to work and the other is going to school tomorrow.
Both are going back to school!
- Why? We're doing great! - Why? We're doing great!
You've even formed an alliance? Fine.
Xiao Han doesn't want to go to school and wants to enter the workforce. Sure.
You can be his witness.
Clean this house now.
How can you expect to take on the world if you can't manage this house?
- Who's that? - See? There's no end to your pursuers.
Who's here?
I bet it's the unscrupulous lawyer.
- Who's the unscrupulous lawyer? - Where's Lin Xiao Ou?
Is Lin Xiao Ou here?
Xiao Ou, what are you doing here?
- You... - I don't know either.
What are you all doing?
There's wine and chocolate. You three are quite romantic.
I'm not part of it. It was brought here by Wu Zheng's romantic pursuer.
She later saw Sis Xiao Ou passed out here, was displeased and left.
What were you two doing that displeased her?
How come you came?
You're plastered. Who would take you home if I didn't come?
This is what happened today.
I quit my job and she quit her job.
Then we ran into each other and went to dinner.
She got drunk. I told her to go home but she wouldn't.
She insisted on coming to talk to Wu Zheng.
Enough. Don't take advantage of the situation.
You were calling her a mother earlier. Now you've dropped the honorifics.
That was a quick change.
You're not a teacher anymore. Why are you still mixed up in their business?
Lower your voice. I can hear you.
Stop interrogating like a lawyer. We're all friends.
Give him your business card. It'll come in handy for him.
He has lawsuits written all over his forehead.
That looks true to me.
Call the police for emergencies. Call me for legal disputes.
Take it.
That's such a hurtful assessment.
How do I have lawsuits written all over my forehead?
Give me an explanation now.
Weren't you working late today?
How come you quit? How come you got drunk?
How come you went to someone else's house after you got drunk?
I don't know why either.
I was lying on his sofa when I woke up.
Didn't I tell you already? It was Xiao Han who carried me there.
How come you didn't think to come home when you were drunk?
I'll be honest with you.
Every time I talk to you and look into your eyes
I keep seeing your brother sneering at me.
I can't stand it.
This must be hard on you.
It seems you haven't gotten over it yet.
You think?
You even have to rest for two weeks when you get double eyelid surgery.
A knife was stabbed in my heart. How could I recover so quickly?
Hey, my double eyelids are natural. I was born with them.
Don't go making things up.
You really are drunk.
Take a nap. I'll wake you when we're home.
It stinks.
Stinks.
Who brought her home?
Hurry up and clean.
When you're done mopping, scrub with dishwashing liquid.
Scrub all the cracks.
The school of hard knocks has taught you a lot, hasn't it?
I thought you could take care of me to an old age.
I didn't think you'd be fired by Luo Xiang so soon.
You're really something.
I'm not working in show biz anymore!
I'm going to try out other businesses.
What other businesses? You should go back to school.
Being uneducated is the most dreadful thing.
Education? A diploma isn't the only way to measure one's abilities.
Look at Bill Gates.
Did he graduate from college? No.
But he still attained success and recognition.
He's a marvel.
You're no Bill Gates.
Tests are the most fair.
Don't believe that all roads lead to Rome.
That proverb only sounds good.
Yes, I get it.
I don't have any outstanding talents
or an outstanding dad.
That's why it seems I have no hope at all
but I have time.
- I'm young. - Get mopping.
- I'm not done yet. - Who told you to stop?
I have time to take detours.
Why don't I learn to be a pilot like you?
Do you think flying planes is easy?
Pilots don't need to be cultured.
Pilots need wisdom, agility
intelligence, adaptability, and physical strength.
With the way you are, the plane won't be able to fly.
Weren't you going to work at another airline?
Who says I'm going to another airline? I'm not going anymore.
I'm staying here.
Didn't know, did you? I wasn't going to tell you.
Not leaving? Who are you staying for?
In any case, not for you.
There are too many things I haven't learned yet.
I'm not uneducated like you.
Go away. Go.
Go clean.
No sleeping until it's clean.
There is truth in a drunken man's words.
I'll give you 10 minutes. Talk.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Sober now?
You had a fight with your boss on the first day of work.
Didn't you say the boss looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro?
How come you fought? You should've ran into his arms.
Run into his arms?
It's no skin off my back not working for a company that knows no limits.
Just two days ago, you vowed, "I'm going to be a great translator!"
What are your future plans?
I'll worry about that tomorrow.
I'm going to sleep.
I still think you're better suited to be a teacher. Go back to teaching tomorrow.
How come you're saying the same thing the annoying jerk said?
I'm going to sleep.
- See yourself out. - No!
Then it's a slumber party!
Is this my model worker grandma?
How come I haven't heard you talk about my grandpa?
He left your grandma and I when I was very young.
He never came back.
Your grandma raised me all on her own.
When I was just a kid, I swore
I would make something of myself and give your grandma a better life.
I later got into flight school and became a captain.
But your grandma
fell sick from years of toil
and died a sudden death due to illness.
She never got to ride in a plane I flew and never had an easy day in her life.
I really hated the one who abandoned your grandma and I.
I thought God was unfair.
I hated him for abandoning us.
I thought I had a miserable life.
But you had it worse than I did.
At least I have two dads. You didn't even have one.
I asked her when I was young.
I remember when I was very young, there was one night I couldn't sleep.
I saw your grandma staring blankly at this photo.
I asked her if the man in this photo was my dad.
She looked very unhappy.
She said, "He's gone."
I don't know if that meant he was dead or if he walked out
and I didn't dare to ask.
Just like that, I never mentioned him again.
This is our family photo.
It's been many years. I've never heard news of him.
In my dictionary, I don't know what a father is.
In any case, I never regretted coming to you.
You might not particularly shine at being a dad
but you're not the worst.
So you've never thought of your father all these years?
Maybe he had his reasons. You don't want to look for him?
What for? I don't care about him.
Don't be like that. Maybe there's more to the story.
Look at you. You didn't know I existed for 16 years.
Maybe he was the same.
Let's not talk about this.
It's getting late.
Don't you have to go job-hunting tomorrow?
Go wash up and sleep.
Who's calling so early?
Hello?
Sorry. This is Wu Zheng.
I just gave you my name card last night. You have a legal dispute already?
Sorry to call you so early.
I want to ask you to look someone up for me.
His name is Li Li Qun and about 65 years old.
Hold on. Let me write this down.
Okay, go on.
The person I'd like to ask you to help me find is named Li Li Qun.
Male, about 65 years old.
He was an engineer at the 527 State Factory.
That's all I know about him.
Please help me find his current whereabouts.
This is all you know?
With such limited information, I might not be able to find him.
I'll do my best. All right?
Okay, please do. Thank you.
You're up quite early.
Let's talk about this. There's a high school near our house.
It's okay if you don't want to go to Wharton
but you have to go to school.
It's really close by so that will be convenient. What do you think?
The talent agency messaged me to drop by.
Give it up. I'm absolutely not going to school.
Do you really hope I won't be able to find a job
so you can force me to go back to school?
You won't get what you want!
Once I drop off the script, I'm going straight to audition at another agency.
I'm sure there's a job for me out there.
Ambitious, kid.
You have to do your housework too. Don't just focus on work outside.
Don't worry. Just leave the chores you want me to do.
I'll get it done no matter how late it is, okay?
That shirt is still soaking. Wash that first.
Fine.
Even if it doesn't get cleaned, it wouldn't be ruined.
Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ou, are you sober yet?
Remember to eat something when you're up since you drank so much last night.
It's not like you can stay to take care of me.
Why did you wake me up and nag at me?
You ungrateful wretch. I lost three hours of sleep because of you.
How could you say this?
I'll be rather busy today so I can't eat with you today.
Take care of yourself. Don't starve yourself.
Okay, I know.
Go to work, workaholic.
Take care of yourself.
- Son! - Uncle Shi!
How come you're alone? Where's that has-been celebrity?
I quit. I couldn't take it anymore.
I just came from the agency after handing over everything.
Well done!
You also think I shouldn't continue to take that idiot's bullying, right?
It's a good thing for young people to be yanked around a bit.
The thing is he was much too pretentious.
And when you two stood together
he clearly looked more like the assistant.
You also think that job isn't right for me, right?
A waste of your talents.
Okay, since you think so highly of me
I'll give you some news that will be priceless to you.
What is it?
Is it about Lin Xiao Ou?
Do you want it or not?
Tell me.
Yesterday, she got drunk and had just lost her job.
While she is at her most vulnerable you can... help in her hour of need!
- Is that true? - False.
- Is it true or not? - It's true!
Are you going?
You don't have to worry about that.
Again.
Ye Zi, is Lin Xiao Ou there?
If you're looking for her, you can call her. Why are you calling me?
That scatterbrain left her phone at my place.
A message just came in telling her to attend a very important meeting.
I'm afraid she'll miss it.
Tell her to come pick it up. I have to leave soon.
You have her phone. How am I supposed to notify her?
Why don't you go the extra mile and take it to her?
She's sleeping off the alcohol at home.
That's so much trouble. I'm really tight on time, Ye Zi.
Lin Xiao Ou didn't complain about the trouble
when she was taking care of your son.
All right.
Send me your house address. I'll take it to her.
Who is it?
Oh crap.
Sorry. I thought it was a courier.
Even so, you shouldn't close the door on my face.
That was so abrupt! You nearly shaved off my nose.
Have some water.
Why are you here to see me so early in the morning?
You left your phone at my place. You're so careless.
You didn't hack in, did you?
Did you see the photos inside?
Who wants to look at your photos?
You have a notification telling you to go in to the recruitment center.
I was afraid you'd be late so I brought your phone to you.
I wouldn't be bothered to deliver it otherwise.
The recruitment center wants to interview me.
I applied for a job at "People Magazine."
If I'm hired
I'll be able to follow them to interviews of all sorts of elites and leaders.
I think it'd be good for you to stay at the school.
Don't go on interviews and lose yourself.
And drink less from now on.
Losing a phone is of little consequence, but losing face is another matter.
Did I... lose face?
You... don't remember?
It's best not to take seriously what happens when someone is drunk.
Got it.
You told Shi Fei I was drunk?
Who's interested in meddling between you and Shi Fei?
I didn't tell him. I'm leaving.
- Hello? - Hey. Are you up?
Open your door.
Don't tell me you're outside my door.
Proper etiquette wouldn't allow me to drop by unannounced.
Check outside your door. I brought you vegetable porridge.
It settles the stomach after drinking.
I also included a cold remedy drink mix.
Just in case.
Did you go out yet?
Are you looking for me?
Stop looking. I'm not there.
Bring the porridge inside and eat it.
All right, then.
Have you eaten the porridge?
Yes, it was quite good.
But I suggest you stop wasting anymore efforts on me.
I don't deserve it.
Since I already took care of your nutritional needs with food
I'll go the extra mile and help dispel your mental anguish.
Get in the car. I'll take your mind off things.
I can't. I have to be at the job center at 3 p.m.
I have an important appointment.
Get in. I promise I'll bring you back before noon.
- Does it still hurt? - It's all right.
Good. Get up.
Today's therapy is finished.
You made a great recovery.
You can return to work.
Are you saying I can fly?
Yes, it's not a problem.
Still, you should make sure not to do any strenuous exercise.
Go swimming and rehabilitate your back muscles.
Understood.
It's just been a few days but you look different.
Changed your hairstyle?
I think it looks great. It accentuates your features.
You've also changed your lip color, right?
See what an eye for detail I have? You look fantastic.
Always trying to be clever.
I'm not. I'm serious. I've noticed you're quite stylish.
Don't-- Just focus on driving. Stop looking at me.
Your driving is making me dizzy.
Are you dizzy from the motion or from my compliments?
How come we're in the suburbs?
Where are you taking me?
Just sit tight. You'll find out soon.
What is the meaning of this?
It's been a while since I bought this house.
Because I haven't found someone suitable to be lady of the house
it has remained empty.
If you'd like, the future of this house can be up to you.
To be honest
from the first moment I saw you, I knew it was you.
That's why I hope you can seriously consider
your relationship with me in the future.
Wow.
First, it was porridge. Now, it's a house?
That's quite a brilliant move.
Honestly, I don't know how to counter that.
So don't.
Just take advantage of it.
Don't you happen to be unemployed?
You don't need to find a job.
You can make it your job to decorate this house.
Don't people say riding in the same car
having a child together, and decorating a house together
are the best tests for a relationship?
Why don't we try all of those?
I'm quite touched that you thought of this to cheer up
a young woman like me who has nothing.
But to be honest, I really have no feelings for you.
It would be quite irresponsible of me to hastily accept this key.
It's a given that you don't have feelings.
You just got out of a relationship. You haven't gotten over that yet.
I won't force you.
Feelings can be developed.
Feelings materialize in a split second. They can't be developed.
You don't have to turn me down right now. You might change your mind in a few days.
So...
How's this? I'll keep the key for now.
I'll give you time to change your answer.
I won't waste your time.
Don't waste time on something that won't happen.
Get in the car.
Captain!
You're finally reporting in! Is your back healed yet?
It's fully healed. Look.
The doctor at the aviation hospital cleared me.
I'm all better. Give me work.
Excellent.
Captain Yang's father passed away. He asked for time off.
I was wondering if I should.
I won't have enough staff if I allow it, but I'd be insensitive if I didn't.
Good thing you're back. I have a four-leg flight for you.
Leave it to me. Four-leg flight, no problem.
Okay. Prepare to return to work the day after tomorrow.
- Okay. - I'm off to a meeting.
Thank you.
I can actually introduce you to some openings at English learning institutes.
I want to try professions other than teaching.
I'll wait to hear back from "People Magazine."
Sorry, can I ask you another question?
Go ahead.
As far as I know, Wharton School has a good reputation in its field.
Did you resign on your own or were there other reasons?
I resigned on my own.
I think I'm no longer suitable to be a teacher.
I have some openings at international schools.
You won't have to lecture.
You won't consider those either?
I won't.
I am open to trying any job except for teaching.
How come you gave up your job at Wharton?
Did you have an unpleasant experience there?
Just one sentence. We like Ms. Lin's teaching methods.
Yes. Look, you can erase this part.
It was a terrible defeat. I had to play for two hours.
How about this?
We'll give our petition to the principal this afternoon.
Then we'll go home and work on our parents
and tell them to come to the school to ask for Ms. Lin's return.
That won't be a problem. My dad has always had a good opinion of Ms. Lin.
He'll definitely support us.
- I'll also ask my mom to come. - Okay.
My dad won't get in our way. He also thinks he went too far before.
Good.
- So this is what we'll do. - Let's get ready.
We'll go together this afternoon.
Um... Can I help?
Forget it.
We're going to give our petition to the principal this afternoon
to have Ms. Lin return.
What time are you guys going?
We'll probably go this afternoon.
Don't tell him so much. What if his mom comes looking for trouble again?
Then Ms. Lin won't be coming back.
That won't happen.
Zhou Zhou.
- Report! - Come in.
What is it? Has something happened in class?
Principal Ou, we need to see you about something.
What is it?
Principal Ou, we came to ask if Ms. Lin will be returning.
Doesn't your class have a substitute homeroom teacher?
Is there a problem with Ms. Wang's class?
Oh, no, Principal.
We just like Ms. Lin's teaching methods more.
Right?
Students, finals are coming up soon.
Your top priority right now is to study and prepare for exams.
If you are only thinking about Ms. Lin
that will be detrimental to your studies
and unfair to your current homeroom teacher.
Principal Ou, this is what we all think.
We all wish Ms. Lin can return.
She can't leave without an explanation either.
We all miss her.
Yes, Principal.
Um... This is our petition. Please take a look.
Ms. Lin will be very happy when she sees this.
I thank you all on her behalf.
Regardless of whether she returns
it will be a great comfort for her to know you all are well.
Right?
Hello, Dad? What is it?
You don't have plans tonight, do you?
Your mom tells you to come home for dinner.
I'm very busy. I don't have time.
You have to come back anyway.
Last time, you took the money I gave you and I haven't heard from you since.
It's been a while now.
You should tell me your plans now.
If I knew your venture capital came with so many strings
I wouldn't have taken it.
Listed companies regularly update investors
on their investment direction.
You've had enough fun spending money.
It's about time to bring your focus back to work.
All right. Tell Mom to cook some delicious food for me.
Okay, I'll go home to prepare. I'll be at work on time tonight.
Okay. Do a good job, young man. I'll see you tonight.
Okay.
Oh, wait.
When you come in tonight, remember to bring your ID.
I lost my ID. A replacement is being processed right now.
I'll bring it in once I get it.
