- Switch of Fate - Episode 20
What is this? Uncle Fang,
what did you do to make you drink so much?
Accompany Uncle Fang and drink some.
What? Uncle Fang.
Han Chong, do you know how I've treat the Gu Family all these years?
Of course, I have nothing to say!
Nothing to say?
That's right, nothing to say.
Do you know? I went to one of the boutiques with Jingyi.
What a coincidence, Old Madam also went there.
Then... what happened?
It's alright that she went.
- But she was suspecting that Jingyi and I have a relationship! - Huh?
This can't be it. This...
I've been with the Gu Family for so many years!
I've slaved like a cow and horse, even if it wasn't praise, it was labor.
Forget that she doubted me.
Even the kind and educated JingYi,
she also doubted.
Then, could it be that in her eyes,
other than family members of the Gu Family,
everyone else is a lowly commoner?
- No, no. - Huh?
Don't be mad. Old Madam is like that. It's not like you don't know.
Why are you being angry at her?
Uncle Fang.
She was sarcastic towards me for so many years.
I wouldn't be so cruel back then and her biological granddaughter...
- Her biological granddaughter, I– - Uncle Fang!
- Qiangwei? - Qiangwei.
- Why did you come? - Qiangwei, why did you come?
I... was hungry just then.
So, I went to the kitchen to search for food
and saw something going on in your room.
So, I came in to see Uncle Fang.
It's alright, alright. Old Madam misunderstood.
Uncle Fang and Auntie Jingyi, that–
Anyway, it's alright.
It's too late, hurry and go back to rest.
Later, I'll find someone to take care of him.
No need. I can take care of Uncle Fang. Go back and rest.
You hurry up and go rest.
To prevent Uncle Fang from being drunk,
saying words that shouldn't be said and if Grandma heard,
she won't be happy again.
That's right, that's right. Han Chong, I'm alright now. Go back and rest.
You really don't need me to stay?
- You really don't need to. - Go back.
- Try to drink less. - Alright, alright, alright.
- You take care– - Go rest.
- I'll leave this here. Goodbye. - Alright.
I already did everything according to your plans.
You should take caution with your own actions and not say anything that you shouldn't.
That's right. What you just said is right.
I just drank some beer. I will never do the same mistake.
By the way, Qiangwei,
how it's going with the preparation on the college exam?
Don't worry, it will go according to your plan.
I will attend ZhuYi University and continue our family trade.
That's good then.
Qiangwei, I know
in your heart you still want to be a wedding photographer.
But everything that I have done
is all for you and your future.
I wish that you will understand my intentions and efforts.
Enough. Be careful, the walls have ears.
In the future, stop mentioning our father-daughter relationship so casually.
Qiangwei!
It's coming. It's about to be that day.
No matter what, I must stay firm.
The first day and time when my daughter and I met.
We are yet to enjoy all the power and glory.
It will be coming soon.
Hold it in.
Rendong.
Do you know how much I miss you?
Where on earth did you go?
Girl, I will teach you qigong to restore your health.
Alright.
Remember, feet apart.
Bend down.
Raise your hand and turn.
Eyes closed.
Pay attention to your breathing and relax yourself.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Relax yourself completely.
Feel the natural integration of heaven and earth.

- Jingyi. - Doctor Gu.
Han Chong, I know about yesterday's matter.
It is because Mother was worried. Do not take it to heart.
You and Jingyi do not have to act awkward. Everything should be as if has been before.
Doctor Du, I am really thankful.
Thank you for having so much trust in us.
It's alright, alright. Let's sit.
Father, Auntie.
You came, Qiangwei.
It is good. Sit down. Let's eat. Let's eat.
Where is Mother?
Mother went out early in the morning. When she was leaving she said
she does not know when she will come back.
Fine, let's eat then.
Sit, sit, sit.
Jingyi, let's eat.
What is it?
Why did Han Chong not come to eat?
He went to Qingyuantang to send out the new prescriptions.
He said he will be too busy to come back for the meal.
Eat. Eat.
I came back.
- Mother. - Grandmother.
Where did you go so early in the morning?
I went to compare Qiangwei and Zhengding's characters.
Master said they are a match made in Heaven!
Mother... this... is it not too early?
How could it be? Qiangwei is already a grown-up. Since Zhending likes her, too,
Hongli agreed to marry them both.
I am really looking forward to it.
But... my character should be Rendong's.
That means... the two of them are a pair?
Qiangwei, what do you think about this?
Look at her!
If she's shy, that means she likes him.
Sit, sit.
If Qiangwei is willing, I'm not opposed to it.
That's right. The crucial thing is that Zhengding and Qiangwei like each other.
Qiangwei, tell Auntie. Do you like this arrangement?
I–
I don't agree.
You don't agree?
Who are you, that you don't agree?
Old Madam, don't misunderstand.
Actually, I'm thinking on behalf of Qiangwei.
Look, Qiangwei's about to take the college entrance exam.
If you discuss marriage now, won't it affect her studies?
How about you keep your nose out of Qiangwei's business from now on?
Qiangwei agreed. Zhending likes her, too.
Moreover, Zhengding's family background, moral character, and education
are all a match for Qiangwei. What's bad about it?
That's not it, Old Madam. I was just–
That's enough. Mom, you made a lot of sense.
Then, since things are this way, how about you take care of Qiangwei's wedding plans?
Don't worry, I'll take care of this wedding quickly.
We'll have our Qiangwei married in style!
That's Rendong, isn't it? Rendong!
I'm not wrong. The person I saw that day must have been Rendong.
I believe she must be alive. Why is she hiding from me?
Rendong! Even if it takes me a lifetime,
I'll definitely find you!
Qiangwei, are you still thinking about your character being a match for Zhengding's?
Don't forget, those are Rendong's character traits.
So you're saying, the one who's compatible with Zhengding isn't me?
But rather, it's Rendong?
Alright. Don't be upset.
This isn't even important.
That's right. None of this is important.
Anyway, the person who will have to live with Brother Zhengding will be me,
not her. Why should I care if our characters are compatible or not?
You misunderstood my meaning.
I was saying, you and Zhengding aren't compatible, okay?
He won't be any help to your future.
What's that supposed to mean?
Come here.
Qiangwei, actually the one I really want you to pick is Han Chong.
I've taught him since he was little. I understand him the most.
In the future, when you're trying to pass on the Gu family property,
only that kind of intelligent person will be able to help you develop and strengthen it.
That's not right. Whatever Han Chong can do, Brother Zhengding will do better.
What do you understand? This kind of intelligent brain isn't something everyone has.
That's enough! Stop meddling in my private business.
Because of your expectations, I've already given up my clothing design.
I'm not going to give up my love for you.
- But, Qiangwei– - Don't "but" me.
I'm warning you. If you keep being like this,
I'll give up control of the Gu family's assets.
It's been so long, but I still haven't been able to find Rendong.
I really don't understand it. If that really was her the other day,
why did she hide from me?
Girl.
Don't think any wild thoughts, understand?
When practicing qigong, the most taboo thing is
being flighty. You have to learn to let it go.
All of your ideas and distracting thoughts, let them all go.
Feel yourself becoming one with the Heavens and the Earth.
That way, your body's circulation will naturally run smoothly.
Thank you, Master, for your teaching. I'll remember.
Keep practicing then.
Okay, okay.
That's great!
Hongli, what's going on?
Sister-in-law, what are you so happy about?
Of course it's good news.
Ronghua, Old Madam Gu just called.
She said there's no problem with Qiangwei and Zhengding's wedding.
Their characters are especially compatible.
Really? That really is fantastic news.
If the two of them marry, then our Chen family's herbal medicine shop
will be able to soak up some of Qingyuantang's glory and expand our business!
Hey, why stop at expanding the business?
In time, even Qingyuantang will belong to our family.
What are you talking about? Have you thought about how our Zhengding feels about it?
Zhengding?
What feelings would Zhengding have?
Hasn't Zhengding always really liked Qiangwei?
I just feel that our Zhengding likes Rendong more.
How could that be?
Oh no! Ronghua, what do you think?
Hearing Older Brother say that, I feel that Zhengding likes Rendong more, too.
Mom, Dad, Auntie.
I have something to do.
Hey, wait. Your mom has something to tell you.
- What's going on? - Zhengding, Old Madam Gu called.
She said your and Qiangwei's characters are especially compatible. It's a match made in heaven!
So I was thinking I'd go ahead and agree to the engagement, how about that?
Mom, why would you give her my characters? Qiangwei and I–
What's the matter? What happened between you and Qiangwei?
Didn't you like Qiangwei a lot before?
The past is the past. Now–
I'm not saying you have to get married right away.
Isn't Qiangwei about to take the college entrance exam? There's still four years before she graduates from college.
I just mean that the two of you should get engaged first.
Four years later, after she graduates, then you'll get married. There's no rush.
Mom, you can't force people to fall in love.
- I'm begging you not to talk about it anymore, okay? - You– Hey!
I have to ask you. Do you like Rendong now?
Son, whatever it is, just say it.
I'm willing to support you.
Thanks, Dad.
Actually, right now I'm really confused, too. I don't know if what I feel toward Rendong
is love or friendship.
Then, how does Qiangwei compare to her?
They can't be compared at all.
Qiangwei is absolutely–
Okay, Mom. Don't talk about it anymore.
Qiangwei and I won't get married.
You silly child, really!
They still haven't found Rendong. No one even knows if she's alive or dead.
Hasn't Qiangwei always really liked you?
If you two get engaged,
the Gu family business is so big, you'll be able to struggle for fewer years.
- Isn't that right? - Okay, Mom. I've got something to do right now, I'm going.
Hey, come back! Come back!
Hongli, can you stop pestering our son?
How am I pestering him?
How are you not pestering him?
What mother doesn't want the best for her child?
I just want what's best for him.
Ronghua, don't you agree?
Aren't I doing what's best for our family?
This won't do. I have to persuade him some more.
[Missing Person]
[Wang Rendong]
Where are you?
[Wang Rendong]
- What are you doing? - Rendong is already dead.
She's not coming back. Can you go back to your normal life?
No, I can't.
Rendong is just afraid everyone will catch her tuberculosis.
That's why she's hiding on purpose.
If she knows that we haven't given up on her, that we keep looking for her,
she'll definitely appear.
You like her, don't you?
We're just like a brother and sister.
You're lying! You like her! Why don't you just admit it?
I'm just worried about her.
Are you telling the truth?
Then, do you know about my grandma and our compatible characters?
Do you agree?
Qiangwei, I hope you can go back and persuade your grandma not to be so superstitious.
Besides, we're still just students. It's too early to discuss marriage.
It's all just excuses!
If the person who had compatible characters with you was Wang Rendong, would you be like this?
In your heart, the person you most want to marry is Rendong, isn't it?
No, it's not how you think.
That's enough!
Stop lying to me!
Why? Why is it always her?
Why won't her ghost go away? Why does she keep appearing in my life?
She tries to steal everything from me, even you!
Didn't you say you liked me? Didn't you say I was the only one you liked?
Why are you different now after she showed up?
Everything about my family situation is obviously better than hers.
But in your heart, I'll never be as good as her.
If you don't want me,
then let's just be strangers forever!
Qiangwei, I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
- Let go of me! I don't want your pity! - Listen to me!
Qiangwei! Qiangwei!
Qiangwei!
Zhengding!
Qiangwei!
Hello? Yes, speaking.
What?
Okay, okay. We'll come right away.
What's the matter?
The hospital called and said Qiangwei was hit by a car!
What happened exactly? I heard that Qiangwei was in an accident. What happened?
Is she in a life or death situation? Is she alright?
We still don't know how she is.
I already told Han Chong to go get the car.
Qiangwei will be alright. She'll be fine.
Doctor Gu, hurry get in the car.
Let's go. Yes, hurry, hurry.
We have already waited a long time, just let us go in and take a look.
Just one look, please.
Please, I beg you.
Mother, how is she?
- Qiangwei is still in the treatment room. - That's right.
Hello, I am the patient's father. Can you allow me to go in and take a look?
Sorry, I can't allow you to go in. This is the hospital's rules.
Stupid rules. I am her grandma.
Get out of my way!
What if the patient dies? Can you bear that responsibility?
This is a hospital. It's prohibited to make such a loud commotion. Can you not be like this?
No. We have to go in!
- Hey, hey. - You guys making a scene like this is useless, anyway.
If you guys go in right now, it'll only interfere with her treatment.
That's right, right. Let's all calm down.
The doctor is currently treating Qiangwei.
If we go in right now, we won't be any help.
How is Qiangwei?
What exactly happened with Qiangwei?
Sorry.
Qiangwei was trying to save me and got into an accident.
You... how could you have let this kind of thing happen?
I'm telling you, if Qiangwei dies, I'll want you to pay for it with your life!
Old Madam Gu, please calm down. We really apologize.
Yeah, nobody knew this would happen.
Please forgive him.
Mom, Heaven helps the worthy. Qiangwei will be fine.
Yeah. Let's just patiently wait here for Qiangwei.
How can I be calm?
Doctor. Doctor, how is she?
She was hit by a car. She doesn't have many external injuries, but she has a concussion.
She is currently unconscious.
Then, can we go in right now to visit her?
Yes, you can go in, but don't disturb her.
Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Old Madam, then, let's hurry and go in.
What does this have to do with you?
Get lost.
Doctor Gu, just let me go in.
Just stay here and wait. If there is anything I'll come and find you.
- I want to go in! - Uncle Fang, don't go in.
- Qiangwei! Qiangwei! - Let's just wait outside.
- Man, Uncle Fang. - Qiangwei!
Qiangwei. Qiangwei.
Qiangwei. Qiangwei. Qiangwei.
Qiangwei, don't scare your grandma. Open your eyes and look at me.
If she doesn't wake up, does that mean something's wrong?
- She's fine. - Hurry and take a look at her.
- Mom. - Quick, take a look.
How is she?
How is Qiangwei?
Her pulse is very weak. She really does have a head injury.
In a while, I'll consult with some Western doctors about how to treat her.
Qiangwei! Qiangwei!
Qiangwei, nothing can happen to you! You're the only child left in the Gu family!
If something happens to you, Grandma won't be able to live, either!
- Qiangwei! - Mom.
Grandma. This situation
happened because of me. Please forgive me.
Forgive you?
I'll never forgive you!
Mom, you can't blame Zhengding for this.
That's right, Mom. It's not all Zhengding's fault.
It is his fault!
Qiangwei is only like this because she protected him.
It's his fault! I won't let him off!
I won't let him off!
Mom, don't be like this. Mom!
- Mom! - Mom!
Don't be mad. Don't let anger hurt your body.
That's right, go sit over there, okay?
- Don't be mad. - Mom, don't be mad, okay?
Let's go get some air. Let's get some air.
Hurry, get up.
Get up.
Uncle Fang, how about the two of us go back first?
I'm not going back. I have to wait for Qiangwei to wake up.
Doctor Gu and all of them are waiting here.
Besides, do you need to be so worried?
What do you know?! I'm her–
You're her what?
I was the one who brought her to the Gu house when she was small.
I've treated her like my biological daughter.
How can I not love her dearly?
Calm down. Don't worry.
Uncle Fang, calm down. I've got stuff to do. I'll leave first.
- Okay, then go. Bye. - Okay.
Qiangwei, you were perfectly fine. How could you just get into a car accident like that?
Could it be... could God be punishing me for swapping her and Rendong?
He's purposely not letting me have anything to rely on?
God, I'm begging you to save Qiangwei.
I'm begging you to save her.
If I would've known this would happen,
I never would have sent Qiangwei to the Gu house.
God...
I'm begging you to save Qiangwei.
I'm begging you to save my daughter! I'm begging you!
Mom, don't be mad.
Pay attention to your body.
Okay, I'm fine.
Qiangwei has me here, and that's enough.
I'll have Jingyi send you home first.
That's right, Mom. You have to take care of your body.
Don't let Qiangwei wake up only for you to fall ill again.
That wouldn't be worth it.
That's true.
Okay. Then I'll go back.
But when Qiangwei wakes up, you have to tell me.
- Of course I will, don't worry. - Okay.
Old Madam Gu.
How are you all still here?
You haven't hurt Qiangwei enough? What more do you want to do?
- I– - Old Madam Gu,
please don't be mad. I'll take Zhengding away.
- Let's go. - I'm not going.
I have to stay and take care of Qiangwei.
Stop pretending.
Looking at you annoys me. I never want to see you again. Scram!
Let's go, Zhengding.
Don't stay here to make Old Madam mad.
Get out of here!
Mom, let's go back, too.
Let Qiangwei rest.
Take good care of the child.
Don't worry.
Mom, let's go.
When I took her pulse just now, I found out that her pulse is very weak.
Her brain has suffered a hit. The blood is not free to flow into her brain.
I'm not sure I can treat Qiangwei.
My good daughter, stop sleeping.
After you wake up, Dad will take you home.
Looks like this girl's recovered well.
Master, you've come.
Pushing Hands. (training routine in Taiqi)
What are you doing? Are you looking for an opportunity to punish me?
I wouldn't dare.
Girl, practicing qigong depends on an accumulation over a long period of time.
You can't be flighty.
This Taiqi Pushing Hands technique, you're doing it pretty well.
But you have to remember, it's for strengthening the body, okay?
As my Master has instructed.
As what? I only know how to practice martial arts.
I'm hungry!
I'll go make food right away.
Wait!
- What's the matter? - Let me see your hand.
The right hand.
Her tuberculosis is already cured.
Master, what are you smiling about?
Was I smiling? Stop making things up.
What eyes did you see me smile with? Go make food.
Oh, then I'll go.
This girl's illness is already cured. She'll be able to leave me soon.
I had already gotten used to living in the mountains.
Since the girl came, she brought a lot of joy to me that I never had before.
If she leaves, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear letting her go.
For her future, no matter what,
I'll think of a way to let her get back sooner.
[Tuberculosis Prescription]
Master, the food is ready. Come eat.
This dish is good.
This dish is especially nutritious. You have to eat more of it.
I'll pick a bigger one for you.
Why aren't you eating?
Is the food I made today not to your taste?
It couldn't be that you're feeling uncomfortable?
Are you sick?
You silly girl, what are you saying?
Are you jinxing me to get sick?
I didn't mean that! I was just worried about your health.
I'm telling you, your tuberculosis is already cured.
Eat your food, and hurry down the mountain.
What did you say?
You're saying... my tuberculosis is already cured?
That's enough! Don't get so excited.
Thank you, Master! Thank you!
But, if I go...
who will make food for you in the future?
You really think you're such a good cook?
Don't be so cocky.
Go home.
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm afraid that, after I leave, no one will clean up for you.
Don't clean! I used to have peace and quiet here all by myself.
You don't have to pretend. Get out of here.
Master, you really want me to leave?
That's right.
Hurry and leave.
You really won't regret it?
What's there to regret? I have peace and quiet here.
Once you're gone, I'll be even better. Go!
Then, if I really go,
I'll come back often to see you.
You'd better not come back to see me.
I'm telling you, even if you come, I won't see you. Leave!
You have a sharp tongue and a soft heart.
I know you can't bear to see me go.
Stop jabbering and get out!
You're still not leaving?
- Master– - Go!
Stop being like this. I'm not going.
Get out. Get out!
- Master, what are you doing? - Get out!
- Master–
Master, Master, don't close the doors.
Master, open the door!
Master, Master, don't be like this.
- Master, open the door! - Stop knocking.
No matter how much you knock, I won't open the door. Get out of here.
What should I do?
[Tuberculosis Prescription]
Master gave me such a precious prescription.
Before, when I wanted to learn from him, he wouldn't even do it.
Master, your prescription fell out of my bag.
Open the door so I can return it to you.
You can keep that piece of trash prescription.
Remember to make the medicine according to the prescription, and take your doses on time.
If your tuberculosis comes back, even if you beg me, I won't let you in.
Master,
what I owe you,
I can never repay. So I'll just–
bow to you.
Master, after I go, you have to take good care of yourself.
You have to eat on time. No matter what, I'll come visit you.
Also, you have to remember me. Please don't forget me.
I'll go.
I'm finally in the town.
This–
This... isn't this me?
It's Brother Zhengding's handwriting.
After all this time, Brother Zhengding's still looking for me.
That won't do. I have to hurry back.
I can't let him worry about me.
The Gu family had originally come to talk to us about marriage.
How could something so big happen at such a crucial time?
And it even has to do with Zhengding.
Isn't this going to turn close families into enemies?
Oh no!
What if Qiangwei dies and the Gu family wants us to compensate them?
Even if we lost the whole family fortune, we wouldn't be able to pay for it.
We're done for. What should we do now?
Nothing can happen to Qiangwei.
I had originally thought we could use this opportunity to expand our soy sauce factory.
I never would have thought something like this could happen.
I've worked so hard my whole life, and it wasn't easy to finally have a soy sauce factory.
In a single glance, it could be wiped away.
How am I so unlucky?
Hey, Ronghua, what do you mean by that?
Right now, our whole family is worrying about how the Gu family will want us to pay for it.
How could you just think of your own soy sauce factory?
How could you be so selfish?
Only thinking of yourself and not caring about whether we live or die?
You'd better get it straight. You've been in our house all these years,
being a freeloader, I don't consider a single penny to be yours.
Since when am I a freeloader?
I've been working like an ox, doing my best on all of the housework!
Other people being servants still get paid for it.
I've never asked for anything for it.
Now what are you doing? You want to haggle with me?
- Alright, then let's settle our accounts. - Mom.
Okay! Let's settle it. Who's afraid of who?
Enough!
What time is it now?
And the two of you still have the energy to bicker?
That's right, don't fight anymore.
Who's bickering? You heard what she said.
Am I wrong? You're the one who's not being reasonable.
- You– - That's enough!
Stop talking.
I want to go for a walk by myself.
It's so late. What are you going to do?
Auntie, Qiangwei had such a big thing happen.
Zhengding must be pretty upset. Just let him go for a walk and calm down, okay?
Come on, sit down.
Mom, you, too. Don't talk so much, okay?
You and Auntie arguing like this will only make the atmosphere in the house even worse
and make Zhengding feel even more guilty.
Look, you two. Look at yourselves.
The two of you aren't as mature as this child.
Are the two of you ashamed of yourselves?

♫ I no longer deserve to be with you ♫
♫ Please forget everything about us and the past fate that brought us together ♫
♫ Do not take it to your naive heart ♫
