[Episode 39]
Hold on.
Was the money you're giving to Lu Da Zhi earned by secretly doing part-time jobs?
Stop doing it. It's dangerous to be going home so late.
Don't make me tell your dad.
You can't do that!
Where's the trust?
You can't forget our friendship just because you're dating now.
Can't we simplify our relationship?
How? Break up with your dad?
I can't bear to do that.
The stench of love.
You're the stinky one.
Anyway, here's what.
You can't see me as your boyfriend's son. Got it?
I'm separate from Wu Zheng.
Moreover, I was once again the top of our class in yesterday's English exam.
Based on that alone, you can't tattle on me.
You want me to show some respect?
Nope. How about I show you my whip?
Go to class.
You can't tell on me.
Hello?
Where are you? Your office? I'm coming.
No, I'm not at my office. You need something?
Yes.
I'll be back at noon. Let's meet at Old Street Bistro.
Old Street Bistro has closed down.
Then let's go somewhere else.
Wait, the bistro is closed? Why?
Did they move because they found out who you are?
Don't ask so many questions.
Send me your location later.
I'll catch up with you. See you.
The ceramic tile in the master bathroom needs to be changed.
It's too shiny.
The wallpaper in the media room also needs to be changed.
I want a stage effect to match with my expertise. Got it?
Very impressive.
Is this how a Mr. Moneybags renovates?
It's big and luxurious.
Don't hate on me. Why don't I leave you a room in the loft?
That won't work. That's already reserved for Xiao Ou.
They can room together. They'll be the Loft Couple.
That works. It'll even save us a room.
Wu Zheng, what are you here for?
Why did you come?
The old man suddenly landed in the hospital.
He has alcoholic liver disease and it's quite serious.
He needs a liver transplant immediately.
He needs money for the surgery.
I checked my account and I only have 50,000 yuan total.
He needs 300,000 yuan.
Okay. I'm in the middle of renovations. Give me two days and I'll get it for you.
I'm counting on you.
I have an objection.
What objection? You don't get a say.
We did come to an agreement that I would obey you.
But this is Wu Zheng.
You can lend however much of your money to whomever you want.
I just have an objection to whether Wu Zheng should give this money.
Go on.
Occupational hazard. Bear with me.
I've been a lawyer for many years.
Be it kinship, friendship, or love
once the topic of money comes up, people's true colors are revealed.
Money ruins relationships.
Today, it's 300,000 yuan. What if it's 3 million tomorrow? Will you lend it?
Over 80 percent of setups begin with borrowing money for medical reasons.
I think you should think carefully before jumping into this bottomless pit.
Actually, I'm giving this money of my own accord. They didn't ask me for it.
Even more reason you should be cautious.
How do you know they aren't playing cat and mouse with you?
He's now old and ill. Why did he open his restaurant near your house?
I've seen plenty of these cases.
I'm serious, Wu Zheng. Think about this carefully.
I'll be buying out of our blood ties in one go.
Anyway, I've already decided. I'll just help him this once.
Okay, just this once. Buy out.
Buy out. That's final.
Your say.
You've been on your phone during the two hours your dad has been sleeping.
All you do is play. He's awake now. Stop playing.
I'm not playing on my phone.
I'm raising funds online for Dad's surgery costs.
We have a few long-time customers who are really nice.
They're helping raise money for Dad.
Really? Even so, it'll be in small amounts. It won't help much.
Strength in numbers.
I found this Qfund crowdfunding platform.
There was a girl who used this platform to raise funds for plastic surgery.
She raised enough money.
Dad's situation is much more severe. I'm guessing it'll work.
Forget about that nonsense.
I never owe anybody favors.
Raising money like that is more humiliating than begging for food.
Listen. Even if you raise enough money, I won't use it.
Fine. I won't raise money.
I can at least look for people who will donate their liver. Right?
My brother came to visit Dad with good intentions
but you turned him away.
Why?
No particular reason.
If you keep messing about
I'll rip off this IV and go home and wait to die.
Fine, fine. I'll stop. I'm turning off my phone.
You should've done that earlier.
Don't move. Get ready.
Okay, good.
How come it's just you? Where's your partner?
I don't know. Maybe she's not out yet. I'll go check on her.
Hurry it up.
Are you done, Ke Man?
Li Ke Man?
The photographer wants us out there.
Ke Man?
Why didn't you reply? I thought you fainted.
How come you haven't changed yet?
Look.
This is so short.
- Tell them we're doing this style today. - Okay.
Let's get ready.
We're pressed for time today. Get ready quickly.
Okay.
What's this?
Why haven't you changed yet?
We can't model this.
Look at this. This is so short.
I wouldn't wear it even if it was for men.
We're still students. We can't wear this.
You said you wanted an extra photoshoot each week.
You even said you'd be up for any hard work.
Now you're nitpicking because the skirt is a bit short?
Yes, we did say that but this isn't a matter of hard work.
There should at least be some limits and some dignity.
If it has to be like this, then I'm sorry, we can't do it.
Don't have such vulgar thoughts.
Treat it as a a dedication to the arts.
What art? You just run an online store.
Think this through.
- Are you modeling or not? - No, no, no.
If it's like the previous jobs, you can call us. You have our number.
We'll come again.
If it's this kind of job from now on, then sorry. See you later.
Let's go.
Lunatics.
Should we not have made things so final?
We should've given in.
I could've worn leggings under that miniskirt.
Wouldn't a swimsuit be even shorter?
A swimsuit is a swimsuit. Is that skirt a swimsuit?
They're two completely different things.
Besides, you have a cold. Stop pushing yourself so hard.
Here's a cold remedy drink mix. Remember to drink it.
A mask.
Go home and drink that.
Wear the mask so you don't spread the cold to others.
All right. You're so considerate.
When will you be able to come up with enough money for a lawyer though?
How is Lu Da Zhi doing?
He might not need a lawyer for the time being.
I'm going to do all I can to help him.
I'll figure something else out for work.
You're finally back.
Did you give Lu Da Zhi the money I gave you yesterday?
I've been working like a dog today, busy with renovations.
I'll go tomorrow. Okay?
That's okay. Good, actually. This is a letter Xiao Han wrote to Lu Da Zhi.
You can bring it with you tomorrow.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Don't mention it. Xiao Han is quite loyal.
He has his father's genes. I don't know if that's good or bad.
What about Wu Zheng?
I don't know if I should tell you about what's going on with the men.
Of course you should.
Wu Zheng came all the way to my and Shi Fei's new house
to borrow 300,000 yuan from Shi Fei.
He's borrowing money from Shi Fei?
Why?
It seems Wu Zheng doesn't tell you about the bad things.
I know his father is sick and it seems serious.
But his father didn't acknowledge him.
That's why he never brought up gathering money to pay for medical costs.
Wu Zheng said his father is seriously ill and needs a liver transplant.
In his words, he's raising 300,000 yuan to buy out of his blood ties.
Wu Zheng was acting strange last night.
He didn't message me after he landed.
I thought he must've been tired
but he was probably preoccupied with this.
I still think there's something fishy about his dad's illness.
I don't know if it's true. It feels like a bottomless pit.
What if something more serious comes up in the future?
You should try to talk Wu Zheng out of it.
No, I've seen his father. He is a very kind old man.
He's probably not pretending to be ill.
Since he doesn't want me to know
then it would be better for me to feign ignorance to protect his ego.
Right. Don't ask him about it.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
- Go sleep. - You too.
There's 300,000 yuan in there. The PIN is your birthday.
Thanks.
Where's Xiao Han?
He's not at home. He's been elusive lately.
I don't know what he's off doing.
This morning...
you didn't look too well.
It's not just about money, is it? What else is the matter?
Your back. Is your back acting up again?
I flew back from Yinchuan a couple days ago.
I already felt a bit uncomfortable on the plane.
After leaving the airport, I suddenly felt weakness in my leg.
My leg was without feeling. I was terrified.
It's a good thing I was on ground instead of in the air.
I went to the hospital to get checked.
The doctor said I have a slipped vertebrae
and I need to have surgery.
Then you have to get surgery.
You can't gamble with the lives of hundreds of passengers.
Get the surgery.
Don't worry. Xiao Han and I can hold down the fort.
I've been thinking of something.
Before the surgery...
I should break up with Lin Xiao Ou.
What kind of logic is that?
Why would you break up because of a bad back?
You don't get it. This is what the doctor told me.
My back problem is very unusual. It's rarely seen.
Even if the surgery is a success
there's no guarantee I'll still be able to fly.
There is risk to this surgery.
You know me. Flying is important to me.
Besides, I need my pride in front of Lin Xiao Ou.
If I can't fly and lose my career, how will I face her?
How can I stay with her?
I... I think...
Think what? I have to speak for Lin Xiao Ou.
Do you think she would care whether you can fly or not?
She's too nice and won't mind. That's why--
Oh, right. One more thing.
The old man has a failing liver.
They're looking for a liver but a match is really hard to find.
I was thinking I could donate a part of mine.
The doctor said liver donation comes with a host of complications.
I'll have a bad back, be without a part of my liver, and have no job.
I don't want to trap Lin Xiao Ou in our relationship and ruin her life.
That's it.
Wait, I--
Let's not talk about the liver or back.
Let's talk about your relationship first.
It wasn't easy for you two to get together.
I also contributed by making a sacrifice.
You also can't make the decision on your own.
Is there anything you two can't get through together?
Shi Fei, don't waste your breath. I've already made up my mind.
If I break up with her
after something happens during surgery or after the liver donation
that would be bad for both of us.
It would be better to do it now.
It would be best for both of us if I break up with her now.
What about this?
What if your back fully recovers after your surgery
and the old man gets a liver transplant?
What will you do about Lin Xiao Ou then?
I'll win her back.
Are you crazy?
I really don't know if I should admire you or curse you.
Don't worry me. Just keep it secret for me. Don't tell Ye Zi.
How are you planning on breaking up with her?
Quick and to the point. Better to get it over with quickly.
It's best for the both of us.
Wen Li?
I'm watering your plant right now. It's very pretty.
Don't water it every day?
Okay, got it. Have you left yet?
If you haven't left yet, why don't we meet up tonight?
Okay, I'll be waiting. See you later.
What's this?
You're meeting Fei Wen Li tonight?
Stay out of adult business.
What about your relationship with Ms. Lin?
How come she hasn't come by lately?
Why are you asking so many questions?
Don't throw your weight around at school because of my relationship to Xiao Ou.
You remember you have a relationship with her?
Then you shouldn't be doing things behind her back.
Is it appropriate for you to meet with Fei Wen Li?
What if she runs into you two? Will you be able to explain? Won't it be awkward?
I'm just dating her. I don't have to cut off ties with all women.
Fei Wen Li isn't a stranger anyway.
All right, I really was wrong about you.
I can't believe you said that.
You just wait. I'll be warning Ms. Lin. She should see your true colors.
- Go ahead and tell her. - You said so.
- You said it! - If you don't, you're the loser.
Spray... I'll spray you!
You just wait!
- Good morning, Ms. Lin. - Morning.
Is your dad flying today?
No, I think he has a lot of free time today.
Free time?
Don't run!
There's been a lot troubling him lately.
My grandpa is sick and my aunt came to see him the other day.
My dad can't decide whether he should donate his liver.
Shouldn't you go comfort him?
I understand. I'll see about it.
I'm saying you should patrol your territory.
What? I'm not a dog. What's with the territory talk?
And patrol it?
My gosh. Your EQ is so low.
I'm saying that if he doesn't come to see you, you should go see him.
I know, I know. What are you trying to imply?
I shouldn't be the one keeping an eye on your boyfriend! You should!
You understand that, right?
Don't say anything. I have to go to class.
Turn it over in your mind! Think it over!
What the heck?
Hello, Wu Zheng?
Let's meet at 2 p.m.
We'll meet at Yue's cafe in the neighborhood.
- Okay, see you later. - See you then.
Auntie Wen, I have to tell you something.
What is it?
I'm going to the hospital for surgery tomorrow. I'd like you to come.
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
Look at you. Why didn't you tell me you were unwell?
It's just a minor surgery. I'll be back to normal in a few days.
It's not a big deal.
All right. I'll pack you a bag for your hospital stay.
No, don't trouble yourself.
I don't need to bring anything. I'm only staying a few days.
I'm just bringing a few clothes. Toiletries will be available there.
I have to go out for a bit.
I have some things to take care of before the surgery.
Okay.
I'll pack your bag later.
I'll go to the market to buy pork ribs
and I'll make nutritious soup while you're at the hospital.
Okay, I'm going now.
Be careful.
[For sale]
[Old Street Bistro]
Wu Zheng.
How is the old man doing now?
He's stable for now.
He wanted to have porridge so I came back to make it.
Just a small amount.
An appetite is good. That means he's getting better.
Yes.
Li is usually isn't very forthcoming.
He's told me about his past
but he really has never said a word about you.
I didn't know how to react when I found out.
Actually...
My mom never told me either.
I can understand why now.
I really shouldn't have gone looking for my father.
I guess having nothing to do with each other is the best.
Yes, you're right.
Li has always been afraid of two things.
He's afraid of owing money and owing favors.
If one is self-disciplined, one can avoid owing money.
Yes.
As for not owing favors...
Who can truly manage that?
There's 300,000 yuan in there. Take it.
Tell the old man to get surgery right away.
Wu Zheng.
Thank you.
You might not say it, but you really do care about Dad.
There's actually no need for such trouble.
Come to the hospital with me and tell Dad about this.
He'll definitely acknowledge you.
Then the grudge between you two will be resolved.
Doesn't he hate owing others favors?
If I give it to him directly, won't that be as good as a slap in the face?
That's true.
But if I tell Dad there's 300,000 yuan, what will I say if he asks questions?
Just say you rented out the house on a one-year contract.
I'm guessing he'll have recovered from surgery in a year.
Okay.
What if he asks to see the rental contract?
Make a fake contract.
Find an agency and someone to sign it.
That is something I can do.
What if Dad gets out of the hospital and finds we still have the house?
If he's recovered, then all's well.
The most important thing now is to take the money and save him.
Okay.
Wu, it's so much better having someone in the family who knows what to do.
Thank you.
After you take the money
whether or not he ends up getting the liver transplant
don't tell me either way.
Okay, I'll just take the money now.
I thank you on behalf of Dad.
I will find a job and earn money to pay you back.
No need to.
You don't have to pay me back.
Let's just say we're even now.
We shouldn't have anymore dealings.
You should go.
Okay, I'll leave now.
- Okay, Yue, I'm taking off. - Wait.
Who was that woman?
My sister.
Your sister?
You're going home?
You're not going to go have dinner, meet a friend, chat, catch up
or drop by someone's house?
Fine, I'll go patrol.
Yes, yes! That's the way to go! So long as you get it!
Use the GPS so you don't lose your way!
Hurry up but be safe! I'm going to play basketball! Bye!
What's wrong?
Is the house too messy for guests?
Don't be so serious. I'm just trying to cheer you up.
I know you're having difficulties and are too proud to tell others.
But this concerns your parent.
Here. There's a total of 120,000 yuan in these two cards.
That's all I have at the moment.
Everybody has parents. I can understand what you're feeling.
This 120,000 yuan is just a loan.
There's plenty of time. You can slowly pay me back.
There's no need. Take it back.
I've already taken care of the money problem.
You have?
Are the noodles ready?
How come you're not coming in?
Shouldn't you explain?
There's nothing to explain.
It's as you see.
I don't believe you would do this to me.
It's what you see.
Men sometimes like the novelty
but after some time they'll realize the first one is a better fit for him.
Is that true?
Cooking noodles for women really is your ultimate pickup move.
Think what you like.
It's very hard for me to believe that what I see is the truth.
Were the words you said to me at Yucai High...
and the words you said to me when we were looking at the night view
all lies?
Men are fickle beings.
- Now you know how I felt. - Shut up!
You have no right to speak about my business with Wu Zheng.
Ms. Lin, you have some self-respect.
I think we should part on good terms.
Ending this badly wouldn't be good for anybody.
Part on good terms?
You decided when we began and end. Why do you get to decide everything?
We're too different.
Our interests, hobbies, personalities, and characters aren't compatible at all.
We were fighting from the start.
Our foundation is unstable. It won't end well.
I'm already 40. I don't have time to waste on dating.
I need someone who can quickly adjust to my life and work.
Someone like Wen Li.
Who was it who vowed that
he would leave his life's happiness and his remaining freedom in my hands?
That was a calculated move.
I saw that you're Xiao Han's teacher and you're young and pretty.
I'm usually so busy with work.
You could watch over and teach him for me.
I thought: why not? That would be nice.
The stakes are too high if we're talking about becoming a family though.
Aren't you quite the player? How come you can't afford to take the risk?
I'm tired of it all.
Here's my advice.
You're young, pretty, and have plenty of time and opportunities.
You can take a walk around the block and you might find true love.
Find someone who is a better fit for you.
We should part on good terms and go our separate ways. Okay?
Are you done?
Yes.
You are a complete asshole.
Say something.
I think...
the things you said to her were too harsh.
In the past, that would've made me very happy.
But now, I just think you took it too far.
What's wrong, Ms. Lin?
Why are you crying?
Did Wu Zheng anger you again? I'll stand up for you!
Ms. Lin, roll down the window!
I'll confront Wu Zheng!
All right.
I have an early flight tomorrow. I'm going to go now.
I said I'd help you find a job.
I haven't done much yet.
If you need, I can ask around.
That's not necessary. I already found a job.
Wu Zheng.
I...
have already gotten over you.
I'm going to start a new life.
I wish you well.
You again?
When are you going to stop? Please just leave us be.
Kid!
Their breakup had nothing to do with me.
Go console him.
What breakup?
You broke up with Ms. Lin?
Say something! Look at me.
What's wrong with you?
First, it was my mom. Now it's my teacher.
You'd better fix this quickly
or you won't be hearing from me again!
I'm serious!
Ms. Lin, you have some self-respect.
I think we should part on good terms.
Ending this badly wouldn't be good for anybody.
We're too different.
Our interests, hobbies, personalities, and characters aren't compatible at all.
We were fighting from the start.
Our foundation is unstable. It won't end well.
I'm already 40. I don't have time to waste on dating.
I need someone who can quickly adjust to my life and work.
Someone like Wen Li.
Hello?
Are you Lin Xiao Ou's friend?
What's the matter?
She was in a car accident. Come to the hospital quickly.
Where are you going?
How is she?
She doesn't have any distinct injuries.
She was probably knocked out by the airbag.
Her vital signs are normal. There's no need to worry.
- You are her... - Family member.
- Stay with her. - Okay.
Xiao Ou.
I'm sorry.
I was too callous.
Please don't blame me.
If you stay with me
you'll have to face too many difficulties.
I'm afraid you won't be able to take it.
What I want to give you is pure happiness.
If I can't do that...
then I'd rather leave you.
I'm sorry.
You should leave after finishing that glass of water.
Don't keep waiting.
I know you want to see Xiao Ou before you leave.
But she'll be displeased if she sees you when she gets back.
Focus on work when you get back to Australia.
Call Dad more often.
You can stop thinking about us girls.
Help me take care of Xiao Ou.
She's very impulsive and trusts others too easily.
And who will take care of me?
You're so tough. Of course I'll be leaving you with this task.
Besides, aren't you her best friend?
That is true.
Xiao Ou will only be my best friend.
Don't hope that she'll be anything more.
Some things you pass up and they won't come back around.
There's no going back.
Speak of the devil.
Xiao Ou's boyfriend.
What's the matter?
Xiao Ou was in a car accident.
Wu Zheng, how is Xiao Ou? Is she severely injured?
The doctor said
there are contusions on her forearm and foot.
She probably also has a minor concussion.
They'll probably do a MRI on her tomorrow.
I notified her parents. They should be here soon.
