[The Way We Were]
[Episode 28]
I never mentioned to Rooney about
Shu Che and Miao Ying's dating relationship.
He also just know that Liu Caiqi is an extraordinary woman.
As for where she came from and what she previously did, Rooney don't know anything.
Who would've thought that with San Francisco being this big,
she would bumped into Shu Che and Miao Ying?!
The more I didn't expect this woman to be this scheming.
Shu Wang must have told you this.
I want to reiterate it.
No matter through what means,
you must not
let this child live.
I guarantee.
What about Shu Che and Miao Ying?
Being unable to end up with Shu Che
is our Miao Ying's loss.
But to say it in another way,
with them breaking up now,
won't us be safer?
You really are someone who can do great things.
[02 hits. Counter!]
[04 hits]
Dad, you're back.
Where's your sister?
Upstairs.
For these past days, she won't come out of her room.
I really was afraid that something will happen to her, hence, I never left her alone.
Good thing you still can do something worthwhile.
Let me go up with you. I'll just finish this round.
Just play. I'll discuss some matters with your sister in private.
Come in.
You probably didn't sleep well these past two days.
Why is your complexion so bad?
Why are you even drinking alcohol now?
You traveled far to return to the US just because you're worried about me?
I indeed was worried about you.
I heard that you and Shu Che have broken up.
With us breaking up, shouldn't you be more at ease?
For this matter, I indeed was selfish.
But I sincerely don't hope to see you and Shu Che breaking up.
Why did you come back then?
Are you here to tell me to get him back or to let go?
Towards your romantic relationship with Shu Che,
whatever I say now
is just clearing the table.
But I still want to urge you
that since matters have come to this,
why don't we temporarily put down this relationshipi?
If you two really love each other,
temporarily putting it down doesn't equate to losing it, right?
If Shu Che has any thoughts,
time can accommodate and dampened everything.
- Maybe after some time— - After some time what?
After some time, when you have already gotten the rights to the manufacturing of subway cars,
I should just go back and try to redeem my love?
When my love was still a tool that can help you attach to power,
you used it, you needed it.
When it harmed your benefits,
- you then threw it away. You asked me to destroy it. - Ying Ying,
I really am not a father who disregards his daughter's happiness just for self-interest.
Aren't you?!
What do my love and bliss worth in your eyes?!
What do are their worth in the eyes of the corporation?!
Probably so meager.
Don't worry.
Shu Che and I won't be hindering you.
I also don't need to worry anymore.
Get out. Don't come near.
I just want to apologize.
Is there any point for it?
Get out.
I want to ask you what you want to eat for dinner.
Come in.
Chairman Cheng, Strong is here.
- Rooney. - Cheng Wei.
Wait outside. Come.
Before we talk about business, I want to ask one thing.
Say it.
Do you know that Liu Caiqi is pregnant?
I know.
Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?
Cheng Wei, she told me not to tell anyone.
Am I anyone?
I thought that this is her private life. I should respect it.
You should know that this child isn't just hers.
It will affect other people's fate, do you know that?
Then, let me boldly you ask this question.
The child is yours?
If it's inconvenient for you to say it, I take back the question.
Rooney, let's just be clear with one thing.
No matter who the father of this child is,
it's already not as simple as an illegitimate child problem.
Not only will it affect our partnership,
it will even threaten our bid for the subway cars.
That severe?
What do you plan to do then?
It's already like this, what else can I do? I can only have a good talk with her.
Okay already.
Let's talk about business then.
Regarding the one basket partnership deal that our company offered,
what is the final decision of your CE board of directors?
Just to preserve our core technology,
and guard the interest of the US,
those old directors of the board
all refused your company's proposal of buying the technology.
They all refused to sell it.
They only want to sell you the product.
We are the buyer and your CE is the seller.
But a big China market
completely made us have the right to choose who the seller should be.
You must make them understand
that in this kind of business, it's a buyer's market.
If your CE will continue walking in the old steps and seclude yourself, and insists on guarding
your top technology position,
then sorry. Our Weiye
still has a lot of other choices.
Cheng Wei, please give me some more time.
- I'll try to convince— - Rooney,
I've already given you a lot of time.
Today, let me be frank with you.
During this time that your CE company kept wavering,
we've had talks with several Japanese and German companies already.
Among them, there were companies that's willing to accept our 'one-basket' proposal,
because they were able to understand it clearly than your CE company
that once they get into the Chinese market,
they then will be able to attain a chance for their company to last for hundreds of years.
If not because of my friendship and trust with you,
your CE company would have been erased from our list of choices.
Then everything that we've done before,
every hard work we did together, were all in vain?
That's why, I ask you to press on CE's board of directors
to come up with a final conclusion at the shortest possible time.
Will you be doing it or not?
I fear that excessive pressure from your Chinese side will only incite more opposition from the conservative group.
It instead will make the board come up with a decision that's disadvantageous for us.
If you keep being full of fears like this,
Rooney, I can tell you right now that
I'm sorry. I don't have the time to wait anymore.
Cheng Wei, let me think of a way, okay?
I know that you'll contact me soon.
I'm in the US. Let's meet and talk.
Sure. Let's talk.
You're welcome to be a guest in my apartment.
That's your private space. I won't disturb you there anymore.
With California having such good sunlight, let's not waste it. Let's meet outdoors.
Okay.

Long time no see.
With my change being this drastic, did I scare you?
Am I that cowardly?
Let's talk inside the car.
How old is the fetus?
Just 13 days and its his 9th month.
You'll be giving birth in a month's time.
With such a huge matter, you were able to hide it well.
What? You want to be in the news?
Isn't it all thanks to you for dumping me here in the US and not getting in touch afterwards?
Say, you hid it for such a long time.
Why must you choose to appear in front of his family
to express your sense of existence at this time?
Also, why must you tell Shu Che everything?
You just committed a major mistake, do you know that?
The timing of appearing in front of his son and wife wasn't chosen by me. We just bumped into each other.
With such a huge abdomen, of course, I won't be able to hide it. But I didn't say anything.
It's his wife who suddenly got crazy. You can't blame me for that.
As for who I told things to and what I told him were all out of my control.
It was Young Master Shu who came to me to ask me things.
I just felt that there isn't any need to lie to him.
Caiqi, you're a smart woman.
Why did I send you to the US before,
arranged all of these, and gave you enough money?
It's because I wanted you to temporarily disappear
and peacefully stay in the US for a few years.
And then what? He will come find me after a few years
and let me return to his side?
Time will change everything.
In these few years,
how many things can happen?
Say, you're young and beautiful.
Maybe when you turn around, you'll bump into a new love.
Starting a completely new romance is also a possibility.
If that's the case,
won't you and him both be at ease?
Before, I was your PR pawn and just a moment of comfort for his lonely feelings.
Now that I'm of no use anymore, you both just want to abandon this pawn now, is that it?
Too bad, I didn't follow your script
and added another character by my own accord.
With him, you all will not disregard my existence again.
Say it. What do you want in exchange for this stake?
My child will never be a stake for any deal.
What I want is just the need of a normal woman.
You don't want a deal? Then you're asking for love.
You're not naive enough to use this child
in getting a space in his life, right?
I just want to preserve a relationship even if it's just covertly acknowledged.
Is it that laughable?
Liu Caiqi, you are also a woman who has fought battles in the business field.
All wonderful relationship are being supported by interests.
Don't you understand that principle?
Did you become dumb after staying here in the US
that you developed such an absurd thought?
It is exactly after leaving that world of yours with only self-interest
that I realized more what I want.
This child must not be born.
But you can use it to get more benefits.
You want me to do an abortion?
Regardless if I agree or not,
do you know how dangerous it is to do an abortion with a fetus already this big?
Or could it be my safety isn't really within your considerations?
How could that be possible, Caiqi?
I will hire the best doctor to ensure your safety.
And in your account, I will deposit another $2 million.
Are you putting a price on my child's life?
Let me clearly tell you that I won't accept it.
Caiqi, listen to my advice. Don't make reckless decision.
You're not calm today. Let's not talk anymore.
Go back, calm yourself down, and think about it well.
Once you've thought it through, let's talk again.
I've already thought about this very clearly.
This child is the last link between me and him.
As long as this link is intact, Shu Wang and I will never end.
I'm bent on having this child.
This answer will never change.
Hey, don't move too much. I'll take you to the supermarket.
Here. Let me help you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
♫ All of my friends say I'm crazy, waiting for you ♫
♫ That I'm wasting my time on a dream that ♫
♫ You're only miles away, yeah... ♫
♫ You're only... ♫
Oh, my god! Miss, I'm so sorry! My breaks just failed.
Are you hurt?
Let me call 911 to report this accident.
Okay.
Hello. 911?
Yes, I'd like to report an accident at the corner of Wilcox and Yaca.
Yes, my breaks failed. I rear-ended another vehicle.
There's a lady in the car. I think she's hurt.
No! No! No!
Miss, what's wrong?
You killed my baby!
Oh, god... What should I do now?
This isn't over! Go to hell, now!
Please send help quickly. She's pregnant.
We have an injured baby. I... Listen. We...
Yes. Please hurry.
Rooney, I need you now.
I had an accident.
[Operating Room]
Okay.
Hey. Caiqi.
Caiqi, the doctor said that the surgery was very successful.
You are now safe.
Your body will also recover quickly.
The accident this time
will never affect your future chances of pregnancy.
For pregnant patients having miscarriages in their 9th month, you are considered lucky.
Lucky?
My child...
For this accident, I feel so sorry.
So sorry.
The insurance company promised to compensate
for all your financial losses.
The owner of the car have guarded outside the operating room
and only left once he was sure you're safe.
I can see that he was very distressed.
He kept expressing self-blame and his apology.
For the unfortunate loss of your baby,
he was willing to individually pay you $200,000.
If you won't accept it, he and his lawyer were willing
to listen to any compensation amount that you'll state.
It wasn't an accident.
It wasn't.
What? Caiqi, what are you saying?
It wasn't an accident that he hit me.
It wasn't him who caused my miscarriage.
What? What are you saying?
What are you talking about, Caiqi?
The last link has completely been broken by them.
They killed...my child...
Caiqi,
I know that losing your child
is a huge blow for a mother.
I will always be by your side.
I won't leave, okay?
I won't leave you, okay?
[Union Square]
Shu Che.
Can we talk?
Get in the car.
I came looking for you to tell you . . .
don't blame your father; even more don't blame Miao Ying.
All of this is my fault.
I'd like to know, other this care you've given me,
are there other payments you've given my dad?
No, just these.
I'm asking you this not because I want to know what benefits you've given my family.
I just want to be prepared,
in case . . . in case the day comes
I want to know how big my dad's punishment will be.
That's why we've made such a great effort that the bank accounts and in the contracts are checked thoroughly.
In this aspect, you don't need to have any worries.
Everything is done according to the 2 countries' laws and regulations.
There's no danger of anything going wrong.
I can 100% guarantee my own safety.
And I can 200% your father's safety.
What I'm concerned about is not what your methods.
What I'm concerned about is my conscience.
Shu Che,
if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, come in contact with it,
I would never believe that, in this world,
there is still someone so pure.
Under our rules, profit is the purpose of capital.
A businessman will always desire to be the first. Who doesn't do it that way now?
If we don't do it that way, who then can continue surviving within these rules?
Your father and I are very
familiar with this thinking, and we follow the people with these kinds of rules.
I'm grateful to him that he refused bribes even greater than mine,
and put his trust in me. Now, how do I express this gratitude?
Return his trust.
Isn't this for his son, my future son-in-law and my daughter.
to make their future lives a bit better.
So those involved in this,
working under these rules, whether they've taken or given,
are comfortable with this.
Why is it just you that is the exception?
Because I know to be afraid.
And because I also know that using unwritten, hidden rules,
makes honorable conduct impossible. Even if everyone does it,
doesn't mean it's right.
The more it doesn't mean that this is the absolute truth.
And even more, there's the law.
The law is my chosen profession. And it's my belief system.
Because I believe
the legal system is not just a decoration.
Even more, it isn't something to use to serve private interests.
Shu Che,
I really do admire you.
You are cleaner that our older, dirtier generation.
But, do you know?
You've given me and your father so much trouble.
But it's just because of this trouble that, oddly, makes me like you.
Okay, then. Then help me with a few issues.
Go ahead.
Before, the venture capitalist that invested in my company,
there's a guy named Hanks, an investment advisor. I haven't been able to contact him for a long time.
I think you must know where his whereabouts. You must know how to find him.
Please ask him to contact me.
He can give me a bank account number, accompany me to sign some documents
that will return his complete investment.
And there's another thing I want to tell you.
I want to terminate contracts with Hua Long.
Hua Long gave me $3 million. I've already given the 3rd party company
the $750,000. I won't be able to return that to them.
$550,000 of it was the expenses incurred by my company for this project.
For the remaining $1,75 million, I will completely return it to them.
I've already contacted Hua Long's executive about this matter
and have expressed my request.
I still want to ask you to notify Tony
so he would stop declining my request.
You are wanting to take all I've helped you with
and return it all.
I don't want my father to wet his feet because of me.
Can you help me do these things?
If you really want this . . . I can
Then, I'll trouble you to do it.
It's me that gave you added trouble.
I've said what I needed to. I'm going.
You don't want to ride with me?
There's no need. I want to walk by myself.
Good bye, Mr. Cheng.
Shu Che, there's one more thing.
We've finished talking about these difficulties.
Have you considered whether or not to get back together with Miao Ying?
As a father, I'm asking you on behalf of my daughter.
I don't want to be a father who destroyed the happiness of his daughter.
Cai Qi, what have you come for?
I specially came to find you.
Looking for me?
I've been following you for a few days. I finally was able to see you today.
