A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 40
Thomas.
Are you sure this is Daoming Si's house?
Yes.
I'll go in with you.
No.
I'll go in myself.
Okay.
Good luck.
I'll wait out here.
I feel strangely calm at this moment
when I should be nervous instead.
I finally realized that during this whole time,
I, Dong Shancai, was never alone.
I'm so close to him now.
I might see him at any time now.
Mrs. Yu?
Shancai.
You're here.
Mrs. Yu,
I missed you so much.
You look pale.
You've lost weight.
Was it a bad trip?
I guess it's obvious.
I almost had to sleep on the street in London.
How did you know I was coming?
Haven't I been here waiting for you?
Where's Daoming Si?
He's inside.
Can I go see him?
Come with me.
My dear,
promise me one thing.
No matter what happens,
you must be strong.
Have you forgotten?
I'm like a weed.
Daoming Si.
Why are you here?
I'm here to see you.
Who told you to come here?
Go home.
I'm staying in London.
Daoming Si, what's wrong with you?
You're joking, aren't you?
I know.
Your mom must have said or done something to make you...
It has nothing to do with my mom.
This is my decision.
It was my decision to leave Mingde University.
You should leave.
It was my own fault.
I shouldn't have approached you.
Let's just put everything behind us.
Daoming Si, turn around.
Look into my eyes.
Say that to me again.
Don't come here again.
Tell me this isn't real.
Please tell me it isn't real.
Shancai.
I'm sorry.
Something happened in my family.
I have to focus entirely
on helping Daoming Group get through this rough patch.
I can't be selfish
and pretend like my family is fine.
But we agreed to face everything together.
We can all help you.
Our thoughts were too simplistic and immature.
I thought I could do that.
But I'm sorry,
I can't.
I can't be selfish like you.
Fine.
I understand.
Sorry for the trouble.
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied now?
You disgust me.
I came all the way here to see him,
but he feels so distant from me.
What if...
What if I never see him again after this?
Hey.
Are you crying?
Did you see Daoming Si?
I did.
He told me...
to never come see him again.
How could he say that?
Don't be sad.
Shancai, you'll meet someone better than him.
Let's go see the city.
Don't worry.
You'll be fine.
How much longer do you want to stay in London?
Or are you heading back to Shanghai now?
I don't know.
Huaze Lei.
Is that your friend?
Yes.
Okay.
I'll get going now.
-Call me, okay? -Okay.
Bye.
You weren't answering your phone.
I asked the hotel manager, but you hadn't checked in yet.
I was worried about you.
Did you see Si?
Yes.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
I went to see him.
And he told me...
He didn't want to see me again.
I know he has his reasons, but...
I came all the way to see him.
But he wouldn't...
He wouldn't even come out.
He didn't want to see me
Mrs. Daoming, you have a video conference with Mr. He.
All right. Set it here.
Hello, Mr. He.
Mrs. Daoming,
I've heard that Liu Business Group
will be acquiring Maple Hotel
and Daoming Group for 1.3 million yuan.
They've underestimated the value of Maple Hotel and Daoming Group.
This fiscal report
will not influence my sincerity in working with Daoming Group.
All you need to do is release your shares to us.
After all,
you probably can't find any investors better than us.
Mr. He, you're our group's most important board member.
Of course I need your support.
Mr. Daoming and I were good friends.
I'm willing to support you for that reason.
By the way, my wife wants to thank you
for the gift you gave Xiaozi.
Such a valuable gift.
There's no need to thank me.
Xiaozi is already like a daughter to me.
DAOMING GROUP TO BE ACQUIRED BY LIU BUSINESS GROUP
Why did I have to come home?
Why does Shancai have to leave?
I know you don't like her.
But can't you give her a chance?
-I can't! -Why?
Because we have no time.
No time?
Are you dying or am I dying?
It's Daoming Group.
Daoming Group has no time. Do you know that?
If I can't gain the trust of Xiaozi's dad...
If he kicks me off the board...
If he takes all the shares,
then everything your dad left behind...
Daoming Group will be gone!
Everything will be gone! Do you understand?
So you had to sacrifice me and Shancai?
Yes.
I'm sacrificing you and Shancai
for the thousands of employees in Daoming Group.
Idiot.
Why would I leave you?
I was just joking.
Let's go back to Shanghai together.
It was a dream.
The same dream.
You're awake?
You slept for 12 hours.
Are you sure you're not sick?
You prepared so much food.
Even instant noodles.
I brought that especially for you.
What?
For me?
Don't disappear again.
I'm sorry.
So much has happened.
I still can't...
Lei.
Thank you for everything.
I'm very happy.
You said that a lot of times.
Really?
I'm very grateful to you.
Everything that happened in London
feels so strange to me.
I think it's Si who made you feel that way.
I heard that Daoming Group
is facing some trouble now.
Other business groups are trying to acquire their shares.
I'm sure that Si is acting weird because of that.
I don't know.
I'm exhausted.
Why can't we just be together like a normal couple?
Why can't he stop me from leaving?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have complained to you.
You can say anything you want to me.
Why are you in London?
In Shanghai, I was talking to Ximen and Meizuo.
They said you must be wandering around in London.
After that, I couldn't stop worrying about you.
So I decided to come to London just to make sure.
Since we're here,
let's go sightseeing.
You'll feel better.
Si.
You have to be strong.
You're the only successor of Daoming Group.
How can you be so weak?
Yes.
I'm Daoming Si.
What a terrible person to be.
If only I weren't Daoming Si.
Mrs. Yu.
Shancai...
I kicked her out.
She came all the way from Shanghai to London
just to see me.
But I pushed her away.
She must be devastated.
She probably doesn't understand why.
She must...
Goodness.
Shancai is fine.
She'll be fine.
I miss her so much.
-What? -What?
-London? -London?
Yes.
Shancai is in London.
Why?
Si's mom forced him to go to London.
What does that have to do with Shancai?
What do you think?
Three words.
Because of love.
"Because of love"?
So Shancai isn't coming back?
Goodness.
My world has turned dark again.
No wonder I haven't seen her for days.
So Daoming Si isn't coming back to Shanghai?
Nobody knows anything about him.
But that's weird.
Shancai went to London,
but she hasn't been on her phone.
She hasn't replied to any messages.
What if something happened to her?
Shut your mouth.
LEI SENT YOU A MESSAGE
All right, no need to worry now.
Lei is in London.
Shancai went to London to see Si.
Now Lei is in London too?
Why is everyone in London?
I don't understand.
Just stop worrying.
Shancai will be fine.
Shancai, are you really in London to see Si?
Is he bullying you again?
Tell me, I'll beat him up for you.
Shancai, where are you?
Please reply. Zhen and I are worried sick.
Qinghe.
Everything is fine here in London.
Don't worry about me.
Hello, is Ximen in there?
Yes. This way, please.
Are you here to find out about Shancai?
Is something wrong with Shancai and Si?
What do you mean?
I just think something is wrong.
Shancai didn't mention it, so I didn't ask her anything.
I don't know any more than you.
I'm worried that
nobody's taking care of Shancai in London.
Don't worry.
She's not alone.
-So Daoming Si-- -Lei went to London.
With him there,
Shancai will be fine.
Every time I see you, you look different.
Really different.
Really?
Well, I'll take that as a compliment.
It is a compliment.
By the way,
I never had a chance to thank you.
So, thank you so much.
Thank you for everything you've done.
So, how many buildings did you go to?
More than you can imagine.
Your hair...
Is it too short?
No.
This haircut is cute.
You look adorable.
It took me a lot of courage to cut it.
I see it as a new start.
Hey.
There's an ice cream truck.
Do you want some?
Yes.
Before I go, I want to go see Thomas
and thank him.
He helped me out a lot.
I'll go with you.
Why?
I'm worried you'll get lost before you find him.
How is that possible?
He took good care of you.
I want to thank him too.
How about we ask him out to dinner?
Okay.
Hey.
They're eating so much.
You picked an expensive restaurant.
I don't have that much money.
It's fine. I'll take care of it.
Lei.
Thank you for treating us to dinner.
You're welcome.
Did you come from Shanghai just to find Shancai?
Yes.
Do you like Shancai?
I do.
I like her too.
When I met Shancai,
she told me that she liked me.
Hey.
No, I didn't.
I mistook you for someone else.
I thought the guy at the piano was...
Who did you think it was?
Was it Lei?
If Daoming Si doesn't like Shancai,
will Shancai date Lei?
Will you?
-Will you? -Will you?
Cut it out. Or else I won't pay for your meals.
To Shancai's happiness.
-To Shancai's happiness. -To Shancai's happiness.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Lei.
Hey, how much is it?
I'll pay you once I get back.
It's fine.
My wallet is gone.
This is all I have.
Thomas, put that away.
What should we do now?
When you feel like crying, do a handstand,
then your tears won't fall down.
