[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 34]
If she's determined not to let Nan Qiao go...
this won't end until we're all dead.
I'm sorry, President Shi. Madam An is being interviewed.
No one else can entire right now.
Am I just anyone?
I'm warning you, watch what you say.
Otherwise we can sue you for libel.
Why do you have to use two children?
Why are you like a shocked child entering the adult world?
You can't really be that naive.
Market competition is cruel to begin with.
No one is willing to leave their opponent with breathing room.
You think your dirty methods represent the business and adult worlds?
Fairness doesn't exist in true competition.
In order to achieve the goal, anything method is justifiable.
Starting up a business... survival is the goal.
Power is justification.
If you don't even understand that, I really worry for Future Up's hereafter.
You think if you wear a suit and dress up...
you're a member of the upper world?
It's useless.
In my eyes...
You'll always be the creature everyone spit on seven years ago.
That dog.
What can we do about it?
Your An Ning just happens to like this dog.
I have a lot of projects and not enough money.
So I asked to ask for your help. I want to send a shipment to China.
- I have nothing to say to you. - Don't be in such a hurry.
You have nothing to say to me but I have things to say to you.
You know my business situation here.
I have a lot of projects and not enough money.
So I called to ask for your help. I want to send a shipment to China.
I will never touch something like that again.
That would be your mistake then.
I don't let you do it for nothing. Everybody makes money.
What's so bad about that?
If you want to die, that's on you. Don't drag me with you.
An Ning, listen to me.
I give you a mile and you take an inch.
You think you're clean just because you divorce and go back to China?
Let me tell you something.
Once you dirty your hands, you can never wash them clean.
If you don't help me with this shipment...
That drone company Wings you have your eyes on
and that Shi Yue...
Do you believe that all I need is to twitch a finger
and he'll know all the dirty things you did in America?
I can't believe you're threatening me.
Stop thinking you're all that. Let me give you another reminder.
The origin of all your businesses is me.
We might be divorced, but the sentiment is still here.
If you help me with this shipment, I promise you that it's the last time.
I'll never come to you again.
Okay.
I'll tell you the pickup time and destination in a couple days.
It's decided.
Is this the reason you agreed to divorce me?
Phone call from America?
If I didn't leave Shi Yue or marry Zhao Yu Qing back then
and I didn't dirty my hands with those kinds of things...
would Shi Yue and I still be happy right now?
If you hadn't married Zhao Yu Qing and didn't have his financial power...
you and Shi Yue wouldn't have such an easy life right now.
Is it easy?
Zhao Yu Qing wants to move goods.
Invite Tai over for dinner in a couple days.
You're going to use Tai?
What about Shi Yue?
- Don't let him know. - Have you thought this through?
This is China.
You can take down the children's home news.
That's wise.
Is it? Clearly, it's foolish.
Zhao Yu Qing hit my weak spot. I'm afraid he'll tell Shi Yue everything.
Only now am I finally acknowledging that the debt I owe from back then...
must be paid eventually.
But how much longer do I have to pay to return with Shi Yue to where we were?
I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?
Neither.
Don't be such a party pooper.
Choose one.
The good news is Ouyang Qi didn't throw you out.
The bad news...
What else could possibly go wrong?
The bad news is you've lost another chance to meet Nan Qiao.
It's the age of information.
It's normal for one hot scandal to be replaced by another.
If you want to see Nan Qiao, I can cause some trouble for you
so you can save the damsel in distress.
You just said the scandal news...
got taken down?
She starts out ferocious...
and ends it quietly without notice?
Bizarre.
How is that bizarre?
You know how good Wendy's PR abilities are.
But Wendy fending off An Ning's schemes?
Do you believe that?
So you think...
She's switching methods.
That's troublesome.
An Ning.
Sit.
I thought I'd never have the chance to come here again.
What are you saying?
After all these years, you can't tell when I'm just angry?
I've followed you all these years, and I find it gets harder to tell
when you're really angry and when you aren't.
Am I that unpredictable to you?
I'm just a small henchman.
I don't have the right to guess at what you're thinking.
How can you be just a small henchman?
There's no one else by my side who is more important than you right now.
Here.
To all the storms we've braced together in the past.
An Ning, I've told you this. Time will prove everything.
You'll know eventually who it is that you should trust the most.
I've always known.
Who is really good to me.
Who won't abandon me during times of trouble.
When something happens...
who will prioritize my benefits.
I know all of this.
Women, you know.
We're intuitive.
Not to mention, we've known each other longest.
An Ning.
The food is getting cold. Let's eat.
I forgot you don't like Western food.
Tell the kitchens to make some Chinese food.
Understood.
Roast meat. That's a must.
Okay.
An Ning.
I didn't think you'd remember I liked roast meat.
That's hardly all I remember.
I remember you once said
that you missed the days when we all worked furiously towards the same goal.
- I just don't know if now... - I still think the same way.
I've never changed.
Okay.
If that's the case, let's not think of the past anymore.
If you want, we can be like before.
Fighting shoulder to shoulder.
Of... Of course I'm willing.
You haven't even asked me what I want you to do.
As long as you say it, I'll do anything.
Let me toast you.
Things have been quiet lately.
What is it?
Are you getting lonely without an opponent?
I'm not lonely. You seem calm on the surface...
but I bet you're planning something.
I've been keeping my eye on Tai.
He hasn't shown his face.
What's going on?
I heard he's doing something big. What do you think he could do?
I'm betting he's back in his old business.
Didn't An Ning warn him? Why would he still dare to?
I heard that An Ning is using him for something.
That's why I think this is weird.
President Shi!
Don't tell me this is a coincidental meeting.
It seems that I've witnessed something I shouldn't have.
Shi Yue.
This isn't Lucid Dream or Wings.
It's not good for you to know too much.
You guys look like you're about to do something big.
That's right. Something big.
Something An Ning beckoned me to do.
Something you can't do.
Here.
Open it up for President Shi to see.
It's a drone! You must be really disappointed.
Seen enough?
Why would An Ning give you a task having to do with Wings?
What, I can't do some high-tech business?
Besides...
No matter what she has me to, I do it better than you.
Why are you still here?
I felt something was off last time when I went to see An Ning.
- Aren't you also... - An Ning has so many talons.
How many lives do you have to spare before you catch them all?
How many lives do you have that you should cover for me?
You have to protect her well.
You stay at Future Up and don't waste time here.
Why would An Ning use Tai to sell drones?
They're definitely using Wings to do...
- Just keep watch over her. - Shi Yue.
You don't need to do everything on your own!
- Hello? - Are you at home or at work?
At work.
- What are you doing? - Sketching models.
Okay. Keep drawing.
Being alone is good.
What do you mean?
Nothing. I meant...
Sketching alone at the office is peaceful.
If you feel bored, you can go to your dad's.
There's people there.
Are you trying to tell me it's better to be alone or not?
Just don't go running around everywhere.
Okay.
Okay, I'm hanging up.
Xiao Qi!
You must be tired. I brought you something.
Here!
Makeup? I don't need it. I like not wearing makeup.
I like your fresh, refined look.
So...
This is a called toning cream.
After you put it on, your skin is glasslike and glowing!
It's perfect for the no-makeup look. Try it!
Just try it!
Fine. You can go.
You accepted 21 dog clients today.
Twelve for grooming, six for boarding.
Three needed surgeries, one of which was castration!
You worked so hard today, so let's go eat.
I understand you far beyond your imagination!
- Give me your phone. - Why?
This is called being a peeping tom.
You've connected my store's cameras to your phone again, haven't you?
How is this called peeping? This is called double-layer protection.
I'm afraid someone will harass you.
Wait here.
- Where's Nan Qiao? - Xiao Qiao?
She said she was drawing in the office.
Got it.
What happened with you and An Ning?
I'll go to Future Up right now.
I'm afraid there might be danger. Call me back!
Xiao Qi, let's go find Nan Qiao.
We'll bring her some food. Yummy food!
The door!
Let's go!
It's so beautiful.
No wonder it makes people linger.
This reminds me of when we were in Los Angeles.
It was even prettier, wasn't it?
Yes.
It was beautiful.
So beautiful it was breathtaking and made you forget everything.
This place doesn't suit us.
Maybe when we left, we shouldn't have come back.
You shouldn't have come back.
I thought when I left, I could let go of everything.
Start over.
But I didn't expect...
that someone could betray their feelings for status, power, and money.
Betray their marriage.
If you couldn't bear it, why did you leave?
If you got what you wanted, why did you come back?
What else will it take to satisfy you?
Your ambitions and your desires...
What else will it take to fill them up?
How can you speak of me like that?
Right.
I forgot.
I'm just another Tai.
If Madam An doesn't like it, it's just a piece on the chessboard.
Shi Yue.
Nothing is capable of filling my heart except for you.
You're right.
I have money. Riches. Status. But these aren't you. They aren't us.
You should understand me.
A lot of times, I didn't have a choice...
You did. You did choose before.
When I left with you, I trusted you.
I trusted that you wouldn't go down his path.
I trust...
that you hate life in the underworld, right?
Tell me.
Tell me you haven't gone down Boss's old path.
Look me in the eye.
Tell me.
Shi Yue.
I'm a woman. It wasn't easy for me to get where I am today.
If I want to keep going... dirtying my hands is inevitable.
But I want you to be clean.
I want you to be clean, I want your eyes to be clean.
I have my own hardships. But you don't have to manage them.
You don't have to ask about them.
Okay?
Your ex-husband's path is one that is beyond redemption.
I don't want to watch you being thrown into prison.
I'd rather send you there myself.
I won't be like last time.
- Would you? - Yes.
Shi Yue!
You waited for me for so many years, just wait for me for a few more days!
Let me deal with things here and we'll leave and never come back.
I remember you saying that to me six years ago.
Look.
Haven't we returned back to the start?
You still care about me.
I do.
But I don't love you.
But you know I can't let you go.
I won't let you leave again.
I'm no longer the Shi Yue I used to be.
But we've been through life and death together.
What we have is a past.
But we don't have a future.
Shi Yue.
We once left our home for the sake of our future.
I gave up first, I know I made a mistake.
But I didn't have a choice.
Shi Yue...
I came back.
My future doesn't have you in it.
Who then?
Nan Qiao?
Shi Yue.
Nan Qiao is the you from before.
Waiting doesn't lead to anything. You will only return back to the beginning.
I know now that this is kind of hurt.
So... I won't let you wait anymore.
I'm going to grasp the present because I want our future.
Thank you.
Take me to Future Up. Now.
- It's not appropriate! - I don't care!
He didn't used to be like this. You know that.
He volunteered to take me away, to start over with me.
He came into my life and provoked me.
But now he's a completely different person.
I don't believe that he feels nothing for all I've done for him.
Zhao Yu Qing called. He wants to see you!
I said I'm going to see Nan Qiao!
She's the one who made Shi Yue merciless.
I want her to return the old Shi Yue back to me!
- An Ning! - Go!
Stop following me!
What are you guys doing here?
We felt sorry for you working so late so we have to bring you some food.
Where's the food?
We left too fast, I forgot about it! I'll go buy some right now.
[To Shi Yue: An Ning didn't come. All clear.]
I'm very happy you didn't go up there.
To be honest, business is more important than fighting with a woman.
You know that I don't suit this position.
Yet why have you followed me for so long?
Boss left me with this task.
To keep your eye on me for him?
No.
You're always capable of controlling yourself at the last minute.
That's the reason why I've stayed with you.
This time it wasn't control.
I'm afraid to go up.
I'm afraid of hearing Nan Qiao tell me
how deeply she and Shi Yue love each other.
"Emergency averted."
"An Ning didn't come. All clear."
An Ning was coming?
No...
What's with the emergency then?
What is there to fear about her?
Nothing.
Isn't she just Wings' investor?
Our competitor? Future Up has nothing to fear, so why should I?
I won't say anything, so just don't ask.
Okay.
- Then I'll go ask myself. - I'll go with you.
Go die.
Do you think your traffic accident was an accident?
An Ning came back this time for Shi Yue!
You're the only woman who is capable of stealing Shi Yue's heart.
She despises you.
That accident? That was a warning for Shi Yue.
If he doesn't stay by her side, you...
I'm what?
- I'm dead, is that right? - Why didn't you say so if you knew?
Shi Yue didn't say anything, why didn't you say anything either?
What would've been the point?
An Ning is much more lethal than you guys think.
- Nan Qiao! - Where are you going?
Don't just stand there, go after her!
Get in the car!
Shi Yue.
Shi Yue!
Hi, we're not open today.
- Where's Shi Yue? - You can just talk to me.
I have to speak to him.
Ms. Nan, if you came to interrogate him, you're not going to find him.
And also Ms. Nan, Shi Yue has never done anything wrongful towards you.
He really isn't here.
Whether he has or hasn't, he has to tell it to my face.
Shi Yue is just an idiot!
Fine, if he won't say, I'll say it for him.
I'm sure you know everything about Shi Yue now.
So I'll just be frank with you.
It doesn't matter whether you hate him or find him contemptuous.
But listen... no one here has the courage to do what he did.
You think he stole VIVE's contract for money? No!
We don't need money!
You must know what kind of person An Ning is.
Every famous property in this city belongs to her.
What is Future Up? No money, no reputation.
An Ning could destroy you all with in seconds.
And do you know how stressed out he was when the subway run video went viral?
He could not fall asleep, did you see that? I did because I was there!
You guys wanted to use that video as promotion, he let you.
He carried everything on his own.
I'm just a bar owner.
I don't get the dreams, the planes, or whatever.
But Shi Yue trusted you guys for some reason.
My biggest mistake...
was that when you first came to Lucid Dream...
I shouldn't have let him send you home.
Nan Qiao.
Shi Yue really, really, really likes you.
Welcome to Lucid Dream.
If Chang Jian Xiong learns you came to find me...
he'll kill me.
Where is your restraint?
What do you take me for?
Let me tell you something, Shi Yue.
I don't need anyone to sacrifice themselves for me.
What I need is a love that's equal.
I can share success with you...
which means I can also face dangers with you.
Who taught you to say these things?
Who does An Ning think she is? Why should I be afraid of her?
I created Future Up from scratch.
Whether it lives or dies is up to me.
I don't need you to lower you head to An Ning!
When you chose to protect me, did you respect my feelings at all?
Did you not think I'd want to protect you as well?
Childish.
I don't even like you, what are you saying?
I think the childish one is you.
Is there any point to exchanging these hurtful words with each other?
I always thought that our mutual admiration and feelings
didn't require that many words.
And eventually it would turn into a well-matched, balanced love.
Is that not what you thought?
Shi Yue... I find you contemptuous.
