[My Story For You]
[Episode 30]
Home is still the best, isn't it?
Of course.
Mom, pack more. I'll take them all home.
Don't worry. I already have it ready for you.
Talk outside. There are a lot of odors in here.
Sit down to eat.
By the way, did you buy a gift?
No.
Didn't I give you money?
My husband told me to give it back to you. Hold this.
That fellow is as stubborn as a mule.
He's already unhappy that you gave it to me. He has his pride.
You only think about your husband. Have you thought about your mom?
Your mom doesn't lack anything.
But if you give her an expensive gift, she'll think you're living well.
That'll put her mind at ease. Get it?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Would it have worked?
You'll still obey your husband in the end.
Don't worry. He'll buy something.
Right.
It's past 6 p.m. already. Why isn't he here yet?
His work is far from here. He should be here soon.
Mom, I'm taking off.
Wait. Here, buy something nice for your mother-in-law.
No, I have money!
- Come on! What do you have? - I really do.
I know how much money you have.
I have a secret stash.
I was saving up for my wedding anniversary
and I didn't expect a 50th birthday to come up.
I'll use it now.
Is that true?
Then what will you do on your wedding anniversary?
I'll make more money.
[Transaction is being processed. Please wait...]
[Please select service.]
[Account Balance: 808.42 yuan]
[Withdrawal amount: 800 yuan]
[Please withdraw the cash]
[Print out receipt]
[Account Balance: 8.42 yuan]
- Hello. - Hello.
I was just withdrawing money from the ATM
and the ATM showed the withdrawal was completed
but the money didn't come out.
Why is that?
Sir, please give me your account number.
6231626031001357239.
Please enter your PIN.
The system indicates the withdrawal was completed.
Yes, I know it went through, but the cash didn't come out.
There is probably a problem with the ATM.
Mr. Zhang, we will verify this with the bank later on.
If it was a problem with the ATM
the amount will be deposited back into your account.
How long will that take?
One business day.
But I need this money right now.
I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. Even at the earliest, it would be tomorrow.
Then...
All right, thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you for calling.
What rotten luck.
Hey, Han Dong. I need an urgent favor.
What's up, Chang Gong? Become the perfect son-in-law?
I don't have time to chitchat. I'm already half an hour late.
Jade. I guarantee your mother-in-law will like it.
I don't know these things. Is it a good gift?
Are you kidding? Is there any woman who doesn't like jade?
You're so inexperienced. You don't have a plan B in place?
How could you not have any rainy day funds?
Things haven't been going well this year. I keep coming up short on money.
All right, it can wait until you have money. Go on in.
Thanks. I'll pay you back on the next payday.
I get it. Go.
Mom.
Mom, this might be hard to believe
but it's true.
I went to withdraw money today but the ATM took my money.
I hear you.
Happy birthday.
You can give this gift to me later in front of Mu Zi's father and uncle
so they can be glad to see it.
Thank you, Mom.
Go on in.
Chang Gong is here.
Grandpa, Dad, Uncle.
Why are you so late?
- I was the on the road-- - Traffic.
There's traffic even for bikers.
Uncle, why are you always picking on him?
It's just a joke.
Chang Gong, when you came in, you said you have something to give me.
Mom, this is for you.
It's beautiful!
You picked that out?
Mu Zi, don't covet that. Chang Gong gave it to me.
I'm not. I'm just trying it on.
What did I say?
You've taken many things from your mom. Don't even think about it this time.
Thank you, Mu Zi. Thank you, Chang Gong.
It's my pleasure.
- Let's eat dinner now. Dad? - Let's eat.
Time for dinner.
Let's eat.
Mom, I'm sorry for being late today.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, Chang Gong.
- Mom, happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Thank you for celebrating with me today.
- Thank you, Dad. - Let's drink!
My mom wants to talk to you.
- About what? - You'll know when you see her.
What mood is she in?
A pretty good mood.
Nervous?
Now you know how I feel.
Every time I talk to your mom, I get nervous too.
I'm always afraid I'll say the wrong thing.
It's okay. I got you.
She's in my room.
Good luck.
- Mom. - Come in.
Have a seat.
This is a photo album from Mu Zi's childhood. Take a look.
This was taken when Mu Zi won an award for a calligraphy contest in third grade.
This was when she won second place in a city-wide piano competition.
These classmates all joined the orchestra and often travel abroad.
These days, I've been regretting
not letting Mu Zi go to a music academy instead.
A career as a musician wouldn't be very demanding.
Mu Zi was very outstanding when she was a child.
Everything went smoothly.
Ever since she started working, she has encountered countless setbacks.
I had very high expectations for her when she was in college.
Ever since she got sick, I see things differently now.
I'll be happy as long as Mu Zi is healthy and well.
You shouldn't feel so stressed either. Relax.
Everybody experiences highs and lows in life.
You both are at low points in life.
Work hard together and help each other.
Don't worry, Mom. We will have good days ahead.
Stop looking.
You're good at calligraphy too?
That was the popular thing to study at the time.
My mom made me learn what other kids were learning.
That's what everybody did.
Tell me what other superpowers you have.
I have plenty!
Why don't I show you my secret stash?
Let me show you. These are coins and stamps from different countries.
My uncle says these are very valuable now.
Look, this is the Golden Monkey Stamp.
It was originally sold for 0.08 yuan but it sells for over 1,000 yuan now.
It's worth that much?
You didn't know, did you?
Don't touch it.
I placed first in class two times just to get this stamp.
After being with me, you've lost these superpowers
and become an ordinary mortal.
Of course not.
I used to be extremely proud and I was the best in everything.
I used up all my luck when I was a kid.
Ever since graduating, nothing has gone well.
It's okay. You have me.
I will train and develop my superpowers to protect you.
If things really don't pan out, we'll still have this Monkey Stamp.
I could talk for days on end about these stamps.
Tell me about them.
Guess which one I like the most.
Take these home.
Okay. Mom, we'll be leaving now.
- You really don't need a ride? - We don't, Uncle.
Be careful on the road.
Come visit often.
I know, Grandpa. Bye.
Sad to leave?
I feel guilty seeing them watch us leave.
Silly girl, why would you feel guilty?
They've been in Jinghu for two months but I haven't paid them a visit.
You're the lazy one.
It's not that I'm lazy. I'm afraid they'll ask me if I'm ready for the exam.
Do you understand?
I'm afraid of disappointing them.
I understand.
I also felt the same after I graduated.
Everybody has to shed their shell after entering the workforce.
But it's okay. You have me.
I will never turn my back on you.
If you don't pass the exam, you can do something else.
Are you saying I won't pass?
I'm going to be mad at you.
Very impressive.
What do you think? Very posh, right?
Does this look like a place that sells bags worth thousands of yuan?
Thousands of yuan?
Are your bags made out of gold?
You can't tell, can you?
These are all just samples.
The real merchandise will be here in a few days.
This place screams luxury.
Have you considered how much money people earn?
How many people can afford this?
You don't know the market.
Ever since 2008, China has become the wealthiest.
You know what? Business sense really is hereditary!
Of course. Like begets like.
A mouse's children will know how to dig holes.
The most important skill in business is...
Foresight.
Boss, the maintenance guys are here to work on the second floor.
Take them upstairs.
Please give me a minute.
- I can't talk. I have work to do. - All right, go.
Wait.
Thanks.
What's the hurry?
This should be paid back quickly.
Bye.
Take care.
James says you'll be violating the agreement
if you still don't pay the balance.
I paid it long ago.
Last Wednesday. I even sent you an email after I paid.
Don't joke with me on this. It's US$40,000!
Nobody's joking! You can check for yourself.
You should be on top of things!
I check my inbox every day and haven't seen an email from you!
Check again.
I'm going to the bank right now to get you the deposit slip.
I'm hanging up.
I have the deposit slip. I'll scan it and send it to you.
What does James say?
He says he didn't receive your email. I also haven't received it.
Go back and check again.
Okay, I'm going right now.
This guy isn't a swindler, is he?
He's my college classmate's husband. He's probably not.
What do you mean "probably not"?
Keep an eye on him! Make sure he doesn't run off!
[Deposit Slip attached] [Send]
I just sent you the deposit slip. Did you get it?
Hold on. Let me check.
Mei Xin, I'm feeling uneasy.
You should be prepared to go to the police.
Han Dong, why did you send it to a different account number?
Didn't he tell me to change it?
I still have the email he sent me.
Forward that email to me right now. I'll ask him in person.
Okay.
No, Mei Xin, I never sent him an email.
The account was never changed.
Didn't you send this email?
That is my email address but that's not my account number.
Let's report this to the police.
Yes, let's do that.
James, it's not that I don't trust you
but it's a lot of money and I don't understand--
I know. Let's take this to the police. We'll go together.
Han Dong, we took this to the police. They say his email was hacked.
You should also take this to the police immediately.
I had that bank account investigated. The money was withdrawn already.
- How could this have happened? - Yes, he was too careless.
He's so unlucky.
Are you okay?
Yao Yao.
Sorry to trouble you.
I have the night shift today. Li Ning Feng is away on a work trip.
If he's away, why did you come anyway?
He's afraid you'll panic, so he sent me to tell you in person.
Your case is rather tricky.
How do I put this?
Multinational cases are always tricky.
I know.
I'm a fool. I deserve this.
You're not a fool. This is a high tech crime.
Mei Xin called me and she was crying.
Get up. Why are you on the floor?
Don't touch me, Yao Yao.
I'm barely holding my temper in. I advise you not to touch me.
You're saying that at a time like this?
All right, I'll wait with you.
Chang Gong and Xiao Shan are on their way here.
They told me to keep an eye on you and we'll all go to the police station later.
Keep an eye on me?
That's not necessary.
I'm hanging in here.
How come all the unlucky things have happened to us?
[Huaihai Police Station]
What's the matter?
I have plenty of experience losing my fortune.
Stay in the store for the next few days. Don't go anywhere.
Why? Think I'll kill myself?
I'm afraid you'll cause harm to others. I'll go catch a cab.
Why don't you stay at the hospital dorm?
You can go directly to the ER if you attempt suicide. It'll be convenient.
Zhang Yao Yao, you say the worst things!
This isn't your first time meeting me.
Your words are too hurtful. Don't talk so much.
Why aren't you saying anything?
- No, Mei Xin-- - All right, don't say anything.
No, Mei Xin isn't like that.
- She-- - I said you don't have to say anything.
I don't suspect her.
I have a bad temper today. Don't look like you're nursing a grievance.
Wei Xiao Shan, if I say I trust her, then I do.
It just feels... unfair.
Here.
I tidied up the place for you.
Stay for a few days to take your mind off things.
Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all. Now I'll have someone to eat meals with.
What's going on? You don't even eat with her?
You think? Do I not have to work?
Don't put dirty things on the bed.
Don't criticize him.
Fine, I won't.
Mu Zi, I have something to tell you. Treat this seriously.
Go buy a self-help book for him to read.
You're really having fun.
Okay, I'll leave you alone.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I have to restock inventory. I won't be coming home for dinner.
Make something nice for Han Dong.
Wait.
My mom told me to book a flight to my hometown today.
I can't fulfill your request.
Then he's on his own.
He's our guest. It won't be so good of us to leave him on his own.
Li Ning Feng is away on business.
Why don't I ask Yao Yao to eat dinner with him?
You're so thoughtful.
- Why don't I see you off later? - No need.
You really don't need me to?
- I'm going to check in on Han Dong. - Don't miss me too much.
I will.
I'll hang out with you for a bit.
Not spending time with your wife?
I'll spend time with my wife but I can't neglect my buddy.
You think I have an easy time?
Say something.
I'm thinking of what to say.
There's nothing to think about.
I'm a naive fool, pure as 24 karat gold.
To be honest, you're quite unlucky.
You've experienced just about everything.
All the money I earned from selling phones is gone.
I'm too embarrassed to ask my parents for money.
Mei Xin just called.
- She wants you to call her back. - I can't be bothered to.
She wouldn't defraud you.
Even if James is a fraud, Mei Xin wouldn't be in on it too.
I know that.
I'm feeling edgy.
If I call her, we'll just end up fighting.
Enough talking. I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a nap.
Go to work.
All right, I'll leave you be.
There's food in the fridge. Help yourself when you're hungry.
Auntie Zhao, I want to make an international call.
These phones don't support international calls.
Go to the telecommunications office.
They're probably closed at this hour.
I want to borrow your wife's phone.
Here. Go talk in the kitchen.
What's going on?
What?
Wei Xiao Shan wants to call Mei Xin, so he's borrowing my phone.
He's using your phone to make an international call?
Get back here. I know what he's doing.
But he said Mei Xin will call him, not the other way around.
Even if he were calling her, what could I do?
I know it's an international call.
I don't want to lend it to him but he's your friend.
If he wants to make a call, he can use my phone. Why is he using yours?
How would I know?
And why didn't I hear about this?
He's afraid you'll chastise him!
Yes, I should.
Why are you two sneaking around like thieves just to make a phone call?
We're afraid Han Dong will hear it.
He's the victim. What if he takes it the wrong way?
You worry too much. He's not an unreasonable man.
It's better to worry too much rather than being unaware of anything, like you.
Pick up.
Pick up already.
Hello, Han Dong?
Mei Xin, it's me, Xiao Shan.
Don't cry!
Please don't cry.
You still have me.
Don't worry.
Once Li Ning Feng gets back, I'll be breathing down his neck every day.
It's already done, so let's focus on fixing it.
Don't cry.
I'm not crying. I'm just upset.
Mei Xin, I'm also upset.
Hearing you cry makes me want to cry.
I'm at Chang Gong's house. Han Dong is also here.
He's in his room.
How is he? Is he doing okay?
He's hanging in there. I'll check on him later.
Talk to him.
It's so much money. He must be feeling worse than I am.
Don't worry. He's asleep.
Mei Xin.
Even though we broke up
I feel so distressed when I hear you cry.
Can you empathize with me as a friend?
Don't take things so hard, okay?
Stop thinking about me. Find someone new.
I will too.
Yes, find someone quickly.
Find someone handsome and make me crazy with jealousy.
I have to go, Xiao Shan. Bye.
Go home if you're done, so your mom doesn't worry.
I'm a big man. Why should my mom worry?
Oh, right.
I'll pay you for the call.
That's disgraceful. Get going.
- You don't want it? - Do you think this is a phone booth?
You really don't want it?
Then I'll be going now.
Stop making others worry.
You're such a big man now.
I'm taking off.
You're home?
Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?
I was waiting up for you.
Go to bed.
Is something the matter?
No.
Is it Mei Xin?
No, Mom.
You won't even talk to me now.
I worry about you when you're so miserable every day.
Mom, I'm fine. Go to sleep.
Will you and Mei Xin still be able to work it out?
No chance.
Young Master.
You're up early.
Young Miss, how come you're here?
My brother is worried about you. Mu Zi went home. So, I'm up.
Hurry up. Go downstairs to buy some cold appetizers.
Downstairs to the right.
Cold sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce. Add some pig ears.
Did you hear me?
Yao Yao, who usually does the cooking at your house?
My husband, of course.
Ever since I got married, I haven't had to lift a finger.
That means the cop's cooking must be pretty good.
About average. A bit better than me.
Just you wait. I'll show you my skills today.
It smells so good! Here we are.
Try my cooking.
Mu Zi was worried you would attempt suicide.
You look like you're fine.
Suicide? It's not as bad as that.
Then, are you sick with worry?
That's enough. Stop making fun of me.
This isn't the first time I've encountered a setback.
How come nothing goes well for me?
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, weren't you?
An imported car drove you around, right?
You're still complaining about life?
I was still riding my mom's lousy bike in high school.
What do you have against the wealthy?
Yao Yao.
How does it feel to be married?
Bliss.
Tell me in detail. Make me jealous.
Li Ning Feng can cook, do laundry, earn money, and fight.
He works late every day to fight injustice.
He has no flaws.
He's just perfect in every way.
If you can't finish all this, I'll take some home.
Don't be shy. Take it all home.
Go get the door.
Who could it be?
The next one babysitting you.
Do your best. She's been so worried after learning what happened to you.
You want to pair us up?
I hope you don't mind that I'm a meddler.
I don't. Why would I?
I'm happy you care.
Then go get the door. Go, go!
Hi there.
Come on in.
Hi, Jia You.
I'm not washing the dishes. Get it done yourself.
Bye.
What's with making it seem like you're passing the baton?
You seem to like
hiding out at Chang Gong's place whenever something happens.
Astute. You always hit the mark.
Yao Yao said you seem to have a bit of a cold.
Here, drink this.
Yao Yao sure is meddlesome.
Do you want something to drink? Coffee?
Nestle coffee.
