The Way We Were
Episode 10
Miao Ying, Shu Che's parents and I are actually
extremely happy that you both are together.
But with our apologies, you two can't be together right now.
Because you are my daughter, Weiye's heiress.
That's why your individual interest must give way to the interests of your family and our business.
That is to say, your marriage to Shu Che
is not only a matter between you two.
Is this my fate then?
I don't want to be some Weiye heiress.
But you are the only one who can inherit the business.
This is your responsibility because you are my daughter.
Tell me... how should I handle this wedding?
Reject Shu Che.
At next year's public competitive bidding,
before I obtain the construction rights for the subway car,
any connection between the two families must not be exposed.
Not only can't you and Shu Che get married,
you should also keep a low profile regarding your relationship.
I'm sorry to make you go through this.
Tell me how I should decline him? What reason should I use?
We are going to register it tomorrow morning.
I don't know what to do either, daughter.
I know that by doing this, I'm making it very difficult for you. But...
I can only make it difficult for you.
In any case, you must not let Shu Che know about this.
You know about their father and son relationship.
You should also know how they individually perceive the world and their differences.
I really don't know what Shu Che will do
if he finds out.
And what uproar he would create. Do you understand?
You are letting me know this insider information.
What... makes you so sure that...
I will definitely understand
and cooperate with your arrangement?
Because, since young until now,
you have always been willing to make up for your grievances.
You are an obedient child who will never disappoint me.
I have wronged you but this is the only thing I can do.
I could only come here to seek your help.
Have you thought about how you will deal with Shu Che?
I don't know. Don't ask me.
I want to be alone.
Miao Ying.
I'm sorry, daughter.
[Shu Che]
Hello, Shu Che.
I called you several times. Why didn't you answer? What's going on?
I left my cellphone downstairs and I have been upstairs all along.
When will you be home?
I won't be coming home tonight.
Oh yes, you are getting married tomorrow.
You should have a serious father and daughter conversation late into the night.
My father has a lot to talk to me about.
If our daughter ever wants to get married,
I would go crazy.
Stay at home and keep your father company then.
I won't fight with your father over possession rights for tonight then.
I will pick you up at 8 am tomorrow.
No need. I will go there on my own tomorrow morning.
Okay, I will see you at the Administration Department at City Hall tomorrow at 8 am.
Goodnight.
Sleep early. Miao Ying...
You are... going to marry me tomorrow.
Don't sleep too late.
I'm hanging up.
See you tomorrow.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Are you Mr. Ning Ming? - Yeah, yeah.
It's automatic, man.
- Oh, sorry, sorry. - That's okay.
I got it. I got it.
- Dad. - You woke up early.
Let me make breakfast for you.
There's no need. Sister Ma will make it later.
Eat.
- I made coffee. You want some? - Sure.
I'm going to the Municipal Center then.
Do you have class this morning?
No.
Dad, did my sister wake up?
- She went out. - Really?
Hi, please follow this location. Thank you.
Thank you.
Shu Che: We are lucky. There aren't many people at the registration office. Are you close? I can't wait.
Please, follow that car.
Miao Ying, will you marry me?
Now, right away, at this moment.
Sorry, Shu Che, I can't marry you today. Don't wait for me. Don't look for me.
And please, don't ask me why... When I sort it out, I'll explain it to you.
Brother-in-law, why are you the only one here? Where's my sister?
She's not here.
That's impossible. She left early in the morning. Where would she be if she's not here?
Where's Miao Ying?
She went to the municipal building early in the morning.
- She went there? - Yes.
Then, they're already married?
I don't know.
We have to wait for the news.
What was the outcome of your conversation last night?
I told her what needed to be said.
She understood. But she didn't say yes.
Since our conversation, she hasn't brought it up.
She not only needs to keep it a secret from Shu Che, but she also needs to give him an explanation.
It's truly too hard for Miao Ying to take all of this on her shoulder.
You're right. It is very hard for her.
Do you think she'll accept? Will she make it happen?
I really don't know.
Let's see what happens then.
They're back.
Shu Che, your mom is here. We are all waiting for you.
Where's Miao Ying?
Miao Ying's not home?
She went out early this morning to meet you at City Hall.
You're saying she hasn't returned since she left this morning?
No, she hasn't.
Dad, my sister didn't go to City Hall.
She got dressed up nicely and went out in the morning.
So she didn't register with you?
You didn't see her at all?
Not at all.
She sent a message to me.
[ Sorry, Shu Che, I can't marry you today. Don't wait for me. Don't look for me. ]
[ Please, don't ask me why. When I sort it out, I'll give you an explanation.]
Then you didn't call her?
I called. Her phone was off the whole time.
Brother, did you have a fight with my sister?
Everything's fine. We were calling each other and sending WeChat messages last night.
We agreed on meeting each other at City Hall. She didn't say anything. Everything was fine.
But it's too sudden for her to be running away from a marriage registration.
There was not even a sign. Why then?
Don't ask why. The point is to find her.
Right. It's important to find her. As a girl, it's dangerous to wander outside by herself.
Frank, Miao Ying's missing.
Send everyone to look for her.
Yes.
Where are you going, Shu Che?
I'm looking for her.
Hello, do you have a room available?
- Yes, may I please see your ID? - Okay.
This is my ID. This is my credit card.
How many nights do you need to stay?
I don't know.
You don't feel very good today, do you?
I'm so tired. Just one night, please.
You look like you need a good night sleep.
So take these and call me if you need anything.
And if you just want to talk, come by and see me anytime.
- Okay. Thank you. - Okay.
Hi. Just now, did that girl come to live here now?
Do you mean you want to live here?
If she stays here, I will stay too.
If it's possible, please give me a room where I can see her room.
You better give up any bad ideas that you might have about that girl
and leave as soon as possible. I can call the police at any time.
No, no. Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not a bad guy.
I'm her friend. She's really in a bad mood today.
I'm worried about her. So, I followed her here.
How can you prove that you really are her friend?
She's Chinese. Her name is Miao Ying.
She's born on the 6th of October, 1992.
Her blood type is A.
Her astrological sign is Libra.
She studies at the Stender Graduate School of Business.
Is this enough as proof?
Well, Chinese name, birthdate... those are all correct.
But that just means you know some of her basic information.
If you were really her friend, you would know her phone number, right?
We haven't contacted each other
since she came to the US.
I just arrived in America today and I don't know her phone number yet.
Well, then I could call her room and check whether she knows you or not.
No, no, no. Please, don't call her.
She had an awful day today.
I don't want to disturb her.
I just want to make sure she's safe. Please, do believe me.
- I can give you my passport. - Okay.
This is the most important thing for me right now.
Well, I can keep this temporarily until you leave.
Now, this room is exactly opposite of hers. You can see her room.
- Thank you-- - But,
you need to know I can see your room as well on the monitor.
Thank you. Please, don't tell her anything about me.
Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
♫ My heart is asking for help non stop ♫
♫ Seeing you leave, letting the love wait ♫
♫ Can't persuade myself to say no ♫
♫ Don't want to give up. Looking back ♫
♫ Sail against the current in the memory ♫
♫ It's a solo since the very beginning ♫
♫ Before this, I didn't have it ♫
♫ At the end, I didn't utter the word ♫
♫ When you turn back again ♫
♫ I'm waiting for you. The love is always here ♫
♫ I'm ready to face destiny with you ♫
♫ No one can resist love ♫
♫ My love and I will always be here ♫
Hello?
We didn't find her booking information on any airline.
So she should still be in San Francisco.
We also checked some hotels. So far, we haven't found out anything.
Tomorrow, I'll keep sending people out on this.
We've looked everywhere we could.
Now, I only hope she can send a message saying she's safe... to anyone.
Maybe she's just having a bad time.
She just wants to hide and think it through.
She will be fine.
Tomorrow, I'll put more people on it, okay?
Xiao Che, I'll stay here tonight with you, okay?
There's no need. I'm tired. I want to have some space.
Then, get some rest. I'll call you tomorrow.
