[Episode 18]
Mom, what are you saying? Ms. Lin wouldn't do the wrong thing.
She wouldn't do the wrong thing? Was what I said wrong?
Lin Xiao Ou.
Don't assume nobody knows about your two-timing and affairs.
Those are the type of people I hate the most!
Of course, that's your personal business. I can't do anything about it.
But you can't bring your evil into our house!
I finally know why his grades aren't improving.
Are you tutoring him or tempting him?
I've also talked to you many times about his crush.
Do you think I have no idea?
You even pretended not to know. Playing dumb?
You have been seducing him!
- As a teacher-- - Enough!
I can't believe you'd have such a big misunderstanding.
Sorry. I won't be able to come tutor Zhou Zhou again.
Mom, do you have manners? Do you know what you said? Miss, Miss!
What did you say about my manners? Stop right there!
Mom, do you know what you're doing?
If you're sick, see a doctor! Don't go nuts on others!
Who's sick? Me? She's the shameless one!
I raised you for nothing! You're all ungrateful wretches! Ungrateful wretches!
Have you seen Master recently?
Not in half a year.
He lives in the suburbs now and usually doesn't accept visitors.
When his wife first fell ill
everybody donated money but she still couldn't be saved.
I remember there was a particularly large sum of money.
That must've been from you. Right?
Do you have regrets about blowing the whistle on Master back then?
I have regrets.
But the only thing I regret is not reporting him earlier.
I should've made a report to the higher-ups
the first time he experienced dizziness.
But I felt so conflicted.
You know our profession looks glamorous.
But as a pilot
if you're not flying in the sky
you have no value.
Master had to earn money.
His high salary was earned by hour after hour of flying.
His wife was a full-time housewife and didn't work.
His entire family relied on him.
I was at a loss.
I understand.
We can live on the pay from flight hours.
We could get by with a modest life.
His wife's illness was practically burning through his money.
Master had no choice but to fly.
I can understand your conflicted feelings.
Perhaps.
So many people envy our job.
We wear such handsome uniforms and earn such a high salary.
But how many people know
how much stress we're under every day?
Every day, at 30,000 feet in the air
the lives of all the passengers on the plane are in our hands.
So after what happened with Master...
I couldn't keep quiet about it.
It didn't just concern his career, but also everybody's safety.
I'll be honest with you.
Only I knew about it. Nobody else knew.
If I didn't say anything, he could've continued to get away with it.
Master begged me.
He begged me.
He asked if I could help him keep it a secret.
In the end...
I still chose to tell the higher-ups.
Later on...
Later on, everybody said I...
I betrayed and destroyed my teacher.
What kind of person am I?
Everybody gave me the cold shoulder.
Except for you, of course.
Dong, I know that after you moved here
you still continued to give money to Master's wife.
It was because of this that you left. Right?
I'm not that admirable.
I gave money to her so I could feel better about myself.
Besides, do you think I could've stayed in such a hostile work environment?
I had to leave.
I'm glad I made the right decision to move here.
There is low work stress and a high salary here.
And...
My son has asthma and allergies. The air quality is better here.
That's why I brought him here. There are many reasons.
There's one more thing you forgot.
I think the steak here is pretty good.
The grilled squid is also not bad.
The steak is good? Eat more.
You can eat it all you want every day.
I dare you to eat until you puke.
Listen, this is a great place.
Clean air, comfortable environment, low work stress.
However, after moving here, you'll have to rebuild your connections.
You'll have to change your preference for Chinese food.
Those are the pros and cons.
Whether you come or not is up to you. Okay?
You're not going to leave and never come back, are you?
You said you were taking care of me until I turn 18.
I can't be watching you like a hawk every day.
You're not a baby.
Besides, Ao Da Airlines has high demands of their captains.
I might not necessarily pass the interview.
Um... Thank you for the noodles.
Is he having such a good time that he's forgotten about me?
I've searched for plane tickets for you.
The earliest available flight is tomorrow afternoon.
You'll arrive there the morning of the day after.
A whole day will be taken up flying roundtrip.
That means you'll only have a few hours to see my brother.
Are you sure you still want to go?
Don't worry about the price or time. I want to see Ye Xin as soon as I can.
Nobody can dissuade me.
I knew you wouldn't give up so easily.
I've booked the tickets.
They're full fare tickets
so you have the convenience of changing your flight.
That's my loyal friend.
Drink with me.
I can't. I have a tough battle tomorrow.
However, I'm supporting you from the bottom of my heart.
What tough battle? Does it have to do with Ding Fang Ru?
Trying to peek at my files again?
Miss, I just found out I was cheated on by my boyfriend.
Do you think I'm in any mood to peek at your files?
Besides, I just found out today how scary Ding Fang Ru can be.
What did she do to you?
In short, I thoroughly experienced how unreasonable she can be.
It's good you know now.
You should quit the tutoring lessons at her house as soon as possible.
The sooner the better.
I already have!
I made it clear to her today.
I need a drink to steady my nerves.
She is really something.
Don't drink so much. I'm not going to carry you home.
Mom, you have to apologize to Ms. Lin tomorrow.
Why should I? I'm not going to.
All right. If you don't apologize, I won't go to school.
I'm too embarrassed to face Ms. Lin anyway.
You've even learned to threaten others now?
Who taught you that?
Was it your dad? Have you been calling him? What else has he taught you?
No wonder Dad was quarreling with you every day
and said he was going to take you to see a psychologist.
Okay, if you don't apologize tomorrow, I'll go live with Dad.
Zhou Zhou, I have been rather emotional lately
and I've been saying a lot of nonsense.
I apologize to you.
No, don't. Don't apologize to me.
I accept that I'm unlucky to have a mom like you. Goodbye.
How can you say such hurtful words to your mom?
All right, I'll apologize.
I can tolerate anything for you.
Really?
Okay, it's a deal. Don't go back on your word at the last minute.
I won't!
You're the most important to me.
Zhou Zhou, I've had quite a temper lately.
It's mostly because
I'll be having a negotiation with your dad and the lawyers tomorrow.
If it doesn't go well
the two of us will end up on the streets.
That won't happen. I believe Dad won't be that ruthless.
Besides, those people can't be as bad as you think.
What would a child know?
Marriage can turn people into angels or into devils! What do you know?
Okay, all right. Let's not talk about whether he's an angel or a devil.
It's really late. We should sleep.
Oh, yes. Don't forget to apologize.
Hello?
Dong, I had the written exam today. I don't think I had any problems with it.
I told you. How could it be any problem for you?
Next up is a flight simulator test. I just need to prepare a bit.
Don't be nervous.
I used to be an underachiever and I still passed.
It'll be a cinch for a top student like you.
I'll be waiting to celebrate with you.
Hurry up and pass the tests so I can be your slave driver.
All right. Later, Dong.
I have arrived. No need...
So restrained.
He can't even be bothered to type a few words.
[Days until I turn 18]
That brat. Is it that hard to say something nice to me?
Ms. Ding, this is a picture of you at a psychology clinic.
Zhou Zheng Yi, how could you reveal this to others just so you could defeat me?
You're shameless!
Ms. Ding, I'll warn you not to verbally abuse my client.
Otherwise, I reserve the right to pursue legal action.
How can you--
Ms. Ding, calm down. You could be liable to say the wrong thing. Please sit down.
My client has repeatedly stressed
the importance of respecting Ms. Ding's privacy.
That is why we did not retrieve
your medical records from the psychology clinic.
However, your actions have already caused severe damage to my client.
I had no choice but to collect other evidence.
These are the receipts of 46 bottles of Gucci perfume
that you purchased from various department stores
and billing statements to my client's account
from the supplementary credit card you used to make the purchases.
These are sufficient to prove you have severe mental issues.
I like this brand's perfume and enjoy collecting them.
Is that not allowed?
We can ask several witnesses to testify to where these perfumes ended up.
Among Mr. Zhou's female secretaries, female colleagues
and even female business partners
some did not even know Ms. Ding
but somehow still received these perfumes from you.
Such actions already constitute harassment.
If not because Mr. Zhou was softhearted
we would have raised the issue of your mental health
during the last divorce settlement.
Say something, Mr. Bai!
If you have any objections to the terms stated in this divorce settlement
please list them out.
We are not making any excessive demands.
We only request that my client be given back the rights and benefits he deserves.
How could they have so much evidence to attack me with?
Even I don't have those photos and receipts.
Mr. Bai, I pay you a lot of money. But what have you done for me?
You weren't able to retaliate at all!
Ms. Ding, no matter how competent we are
there's no way we can turn facts into lies.
Besides, you've been concealing your mental health issues from me.
That places me in a very passive position.
Just on this point alone
no matter who or where you take your divorce lawsuit to
your chances of winning will be very slim.
Thank you so much, Ms. Ye.
It's my job.
I will urge the opposing counsel to complete the paperwork quickly.
- All right, good. I'll be going now. - Okay.
- Thank you. - You're welcome. Have a good day.
Hello, Xiao Ou? Are you heading out yet?
No. I have one more class and then I'll set out.
I just realized I forgot to bring my passport though.
My dear, you always come up with an emergency.
All right, there's still time.
I'll go home right now to grab your passport
and bring it to you at school.
Okay, thank you. It's in my red coat.
Okay. Maybe it's God telling you not to go.
Why don't you--
cancel the flight?
Ms. Lin, you're going to Australia? Why didn't you tell me ahead of time?
Something urgent came up.
Does it have to do with your boyfriend?
Sorry, I have to head to class.
No, wait! Give me half an hour.
I'll go buy savory pork mooncakes and more daily necessities
for you to bring to Wang Shan.
No, I can't.
Ms. Lin, do you have objections?
I meant pork mooncakes won't pass customs.
Pork--
There are other kinds.
Ms. Lin! Ms. Lin!
Has my mom contacted you?
What does your mom want now?
It's nothing. Sorry about what happened yesterday.
Don't worry. I won't lump you two together.
You are not your mother. Don't let it stress you.
I have to leave for something urgent. We can talk another day.
Okay, Miss, I won't keep you.
Hello, Mom?
Where are you? Hurry.
Yes, Ms. Lin is leaving soon.
I'll meet you at the school entrance.
Mom, how come you're so late? Look at what time it is.
What is Ms. Lin so busy with? Just let her leave, then.
Mom, didn't you promise me you'd come to apologize to her?
I had something very important to do today.
Has your dad contacted you?
No. Why would he?
I had a negotiation with him today with the lawyers.
Your father is so merciless! His lawyer is also a bad person!
Has he taken back our house?
Oh no, oh no. I'm done for. Now we're as broke as Xiao Han.
We're not that badly off.
All right, then.
Anyway, you view others in such a bad light, Mom.
That's why you're always blaming others and feel like they all owe you.
Are you trying to lecture me?
Either way, you promised me yesterday you'd apologize to Ms. Lin.
You have to keep to your word so I can keep my word to you.
Fine, fine. I'll do what you say.
- Good. - So much trouble.
You finally have the guts to answer my call, Ye Xin?
I wasn't afraid. I just wanted to give you time to calm down first.
What's the point in saying hurtful things to each other?
Yes, it's quite pointless.
You can tell Xiao Ou that when you see her.
What do you mean? Xiao Ou is coming?
I'm on my way to her to deliver her passport.
She'll be in the air in five hours.
She should be landing in Sydney tomorrow morning.
I'll message you her flight details. You can pick her up.
No! Can't you stop her? Instead, you're delivering her passport to her?
I don't care.
I wish I could fly over and beat you up myself.
Besides, this is the mess you made. Figure out how to clean it up yourself.
In any case, you're not to hurt her anymore. You hear me?
You had it in you to cheat
so even if she makes mincemeat out of you, you'll have to endure it.
Thank you.
Um... Ms. Lin, I'm sorry.
I lost control of my emotions yesterday.
My divorce has made me very high-strung lately.
I made some irresponsible remarks without thinking.
I hope you don't take it to heart.
Anyway, I promised Zhou Zhou I would come apologize to you.
Matters between adults can be easily handled.
But in front of the children
I feel you shouldn't let what happened with me
affect your attitude towards Zhou Zhou.
You can rest assured.
I wouldn't violate the teachers' code of ethics.
I will treat Zhou Zhou the same way I always have.
Good, that sets me at ease.
I hope you can understand my feelings as a mother.
In particular, being a recently-divorced single mother is very hard.
You might not be able to relate right now
but after you get married and have children, you'll understand.
I'm sorry. I'm unable to relate at the moment.
However, let's agree to differ.
I also think we should drop the tutoring lessons.
This will be easier on the both of us.
Okay, okay.
Then... Thank you. I'll be leaving now.
Xiao Ou.
You're definitely my best friend. How can I live without you?
- Here. - Thank you.
I saw Ding Fang Ru just now. Why was she here?
I dealt her a surprise today.
She didn't come to take it out on you, did she?
No. She came to apologize to me.
Apologize? For what?
For what happened yesterday?
I guess she was afraid of collateral damage.
After all, Zhou Zhou will still be in my class.
She has such a narrow-minded view of me.
Am I one to let personal feelings affect my work?
You're the most magnanimous person alive.
However, you have to be careful of her.
You don't know how disturbing she was today.
She already believes you are her imaginary enemy.
Now she has humbled herself to apologize to you.
She must have been forced to do it.
It's the power of a parent's love. I'm guessing Zhou Zhou pressured her.
Perhaps, but you still have to be on alert.
From what I know of her, she will one day aim her rage at you.
Keep a respectful distance and avoid provoking her.
Hurry and go. We'll be late.
I forgot my jacket.
Stop forgetting things all the time.
Hello? Mr. Bai?
Help me investigate someone.
Zhou Zhou's homeroom teacher, Lin Xiao Ou.
Did you put your passport in your bag?
Where's your luggage?
In the car.
Good, good.
Don't be so forgetful when you're over there.
Take care of yourself and don't lose anything.
Don't worry. I won't lose anything and I won't lose face.
It's my brother who's a disgrace.
You should scold him and beat him up as necessary.
I'm sorry I can't go with you because of work.
No matter what happens between me and your brother
we'll always be friends.
No matter what happens, I'll be on your side.
I've sent him your flight details. He'll be picking you up.
Travel safely. Call me if anything happens.
Okay.
Mom, did Ms. Lin accept your apology?
Your homeroom teacher is so awful.
It's a good thing I came today
or she would've continued to make a fool out of me!
What do you mean?
You don't know, do you?
Your dad's attorney is Lin Xiao Ou's close friend!
Wait, hold up.
She is... my dad's attorney's friend?
That doesn't mean she's an enemy.
Don't you understand?
The friend of an enemy is an enemy!
That attorney really did a number on me today.
I can't believe Lin Xiao Ou kept this so secret.
She is the informer that that attorney planted by my side.
How could I be such a fool to invite the wolf into my house?
I let her into the house to give you lessons!
Mom, Ms. Lin was the one who helped in the beginning of your divorce
enabling you to attain a large amount of equity and management rights.
You know that.
Are you an idiot?
That's casting a long line to catch the big fish.
Look! Your dad has come back to catch me off guard.
That's because that attorney, Ms. Ye, has gathered a lot of evidence against me.
Mom, I think it was pointless of me to ask you to apologize to Ms. Lin.
What did you say?
I came up with this idea
because I hope you can be here with me.
Then I'd be able to see you every day, hold your hand, and feel your warmth.
When you're happy, I can share that with you.
When you're sick, I can take care of you.
I also promise that I will do my very best for our future family.
Trust me.
I'm afraid I won't know how to live without you.
Xiao Ou...
There's something Ye Xin and I have been wanting to tell you for a long time
but haven't found the chance to.
Isn't that a shirt I bought for Ye Xin?
Hello, Mom? What's up?
Shan Shan, are you doing okay over there?
I go to class every day.
I'm either at school or at home.
I've been busy with exams lately. I don't have free time.
What's up?
Have you moved out from Ye Xin's place?
I moved out a long time ago. Why are you suddenly asking that?
Have you seen him lately?
I run into him once in a while at school.
What are you trying to say, Mom?
Lin Xiao Ou is going to Australia.
I wanted her to help me bring mooncakes for you but she refused.
She seems to be a bad mood.
If you have time
visit her when she's there in case she needs help.
Okay, I know.
Bye.
Working again?
All you do is work when you get home. You don't even spend time with me.
You've turned into a workaholic.
Okay, what do you want to do?
Watch a movie?
You're not going to appease me with just a movie. No way.
Tell me what you want to do and we'll do it. How's that?
I want to go to the Gold Coast.
I've been here so long but still haven't been there yet.
This week... I can't this week.
I have to attend the wedding of a colleague from China.
I was just hired.
I have to maintain good relationships. It won't be good if I don't go.
How about this? I'll go to the wedding by myself.
You can go to the Gold Coast with your classmates.
You didn't even tell me you received an invitation.
You were planning on going by yourself.
Do you think it'd be embarrassing to bring me?
Of course not. I...
It's mainly because there will be some people there who know Xiao Ou so...
I was afraid it might be awkward for you.
Do you regret being with me now?
All right, then I'll move.
What are you thinking? Why would I have regrets?
Okay, then... Why don't we go together?
Really?
Then I'll have to buy a dress.
Okay. Buy it.
Why don't we stay at a hotel there?
Then we'll be able to eat, drink, and shop as we want
and return to our room when we're tired.
That's a good idea but a bit wasteful.
No, it won't.
We haven't gone traveling since we got here.
Besides, you just got a job. That's worth celebrating.
Okay.
Drink some juice for a vitamin boost.
Zhou Zhou, let me see your school's student directory.
What do you want it for?
I want a new lawyer. Mr. Bai is too incompetent.
He's left me in a passive position.
I heard the lawyer that Wang Yi Fu's father used is pretty good.
I want to ask him which law firm he went to.
You're going to keep fighting with Dad?
I wouldn't attack if he left me alone.
We could've lived in harmony but he just had to kindle a new war.
How can I sit back and let it happen?
When did you start seeing each other as enemies?
I remember you two often brought me outside to play.
We weren't rich back then but we were still very happy.
Now, we have money.
But you two have become enemies.
Zhou Zhou, you can't blame me for this.
I care too much about your dad.
He and I are a couple who has truly shared weal and woe together.
We were a legal married couple.
There's always a handful of people who like to take what belongs to others
and steal the fruits of others' labors.
Even if these people exist
I believe Dad wouldn't take the bait.
You not only don't have confidence in yourself
but you also have no trust in Dad.
I think that you have...
a formidable presence that suffocates others
and makes them want to stay away from you.
What's wrong about loving you two?
Are you going to leave me too?
No, no.
I'm the Monkey King and you're Buddha. I can't escape from your clutches.
Uh... Here's the student directory.
You can call if you want.
Stay out of adult business! Do your homework!
Okay, I will.
What the heck?
Wang Yi Fu.
1592153.
Hello, is it Mr. Wang?
I am the mother of Zhou Zhou, Yi Fu's classmate.
I have some things I'd like to discuss with you.
Zhou Zhou?
I don't think I've heard Yi Fu mention that name before.
We met before at the parents association meeting.
Regarding the attack on Yi Fu
I think the homeroom teacher handled the matter irresponsibly.
Yes, Ms. Lin speaks without thinking.
She was clearly siding with the offender
and spoke as if Yi Fu was in the wrong.
Yes, I agree with you.
I also think her normal behavior is unbefitting of a teacher.
She has allowed the entire class to be so flippant.
Look, she handled Yi Fu's incident very unfairly.
How can someone like that continue to be homeroom teacher?
Are you saying you want her replaced?
Yes, I have many complaints about her that I'd like to inform the school about.
As long as she is still homeroom teacher
I'll continue to be ill at ease.
She has abandoned all her students to travel abroad.
If she doesn't return on time, we can request that the school dismiss her.
We mustn't act with undue haste.
How's this? Let's find a time to meet in person tomorrow.
Okay, sure. You can decide on the time.
Okay, okay.
- Come on, we have to go. - Coming!
We're only away for two days. You're bringing so many things?
It's just clothing. It'll reflect well on you if I'm well-dressed.
Let's go!
What's the matter? Hurry up.
Okay.
What's the rush?
We can't check in to the hotel early.
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is turned off.
- You made it? - I'm at his house.
But he isn't there.
My brother didn't pick you up?
I waited for him at the airport for two hours.
I didn't see him.
Could you two have missed each other?
No. I called him. His phone is off.
Wang Shan's too.
What did I come here to do?
How could he possibly come to me on his own?
He couldn't run from me fast enough.
Ye Xin is truly...
Don't fret, Xiao Ou. I'll find a way to contact him.
Find a hotel and rest for the time being.
No, I'm going to wait right here.
I'm not leaving until I see him.
Ye Xin.
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is turned off.
- Okay? - Okay.
Before start checklist.
