What lover's quarrel?
That's for her and Chow Chung.
Wah...
May I?
Fei-fei, you need to focus on my playing.
I can't. Why not?
Uncle Yee keeps peeping in.
He's making me nervous.
I just wanted to know how she's doing.
I'm sorry I disturbed you.
It's alright. Why don't you join us?
Great.
I can't teach Fei-fei now that you're sitting in her place.
She means this stool, not next to her.
Sorry.
Uncle Yee... is it OK?
Is what OK?
Fei-fei did well today.
I wanted to treat her to ice-cream.
Is it OK?
Me too.
I mean I love ice-cream too.
Let's go together. Sure...
Let's go... Let's go...
Bravo! Come on.
I feel like I'm falling in love again.
Really?
You led me well during the dance.
I sure did.
Still, it depends on the partner.
I lead well when it's a pretty girl like you.
Please, a century-old sweet-talker.
Please, spare me this corniness.
It's not corny. It's lovey-dovey.
Don't keep your feeling to yourself.
You have to let your love know.
That's why you're still single.
Pass him some tricks so that he'll get a girl and have a family.
No, thanks.
I can take care of it myself.
Your loss.
You've saved me the trouble.
Yan?
Sir, what can I get you?
Coffee, please. Coming.
Want to order something to eat?
I don't think so. It won't take long.
I have another appointment.
With so many infrastructure works up there,
I know you're very busy.
Thank you for finding the time to see me.
I'm sorry I had to say no so many times.
To save you time, let me tell you about Friends Plumbing and Electrical...
Mrs Mui, why are you starting your own business instead of helping Chiu out?
Being an employee is different from being my own boss.
What can a woman do?
That's what I want to find out.
To be frank, your shop is too small even for any of my salespeople.
I came because of Chiu.
Listen to me, call it quits and be content with being the woman behind Chiu.
Boss Fong, I'm serious about this. My shop is not for fun.
Yes, we've only just started,
we may not deserve a discount from you,
you can look down on our size.
Still, you can't dictate our way forward.
See? You get upset so easily.
You're not cut out for this.
You have to be realistic.
Aside from connections and strength,
running a business also means knowing where you stand.
Senior, I have something to tell you.
Pork lard noodles, extra mushrooms, no spring onions.
Extra mushrooms, no spring onions.
I have something to tell you too.
Let me go first.
I got a big job today.
You did?
Chun, Bor and I went up for a plumbing job.
It turned out the whole house was flooded,
the wooden floor was all warped.
The owner saw "interior decoration" was on our card and asked me
if we would do the whole renovation job.
What did you say?
Of course I said yes!
I said I'd give him our quotation later.
If it's confirmed, it'll be our first major job.
Right.
We just need you to get a good price from Boss Fong.
How did it go?
Failed?
No... just some details left to smooth out...
Good!
Extra mushrooms. I lost money on it.
Thank you.
I'll take it with me,
and give the bowl back to you later.
Take your time.
Why didn't you take Chiu's call?
None of your business.
I passed by a restaurant and saw you having a drink with a man.
We were talking business.
Of course. What else?
How's it going?
Don't mention it.
Does Chiu know?
Why do you all keep asking me about this?
Why does he need to know?
It's my business.
Do I need his approval?
I'm not talking about approval.
Shouldn't a couple know what the other is doing?
That's easy for you to say.
You're still single. What do you know?
Sharing a thought won't kill, will it?
Keeping things to yourself may lead to misunderstandings.
You're not running an illicit business.
Why can't you pick his brain?
I've said everything already.
If he would listen to me,
he would be more ambitious.
I say this as your brother.
Don't ever belittle your husband in front of others.
You two should talk more.
It'll save you lots of quarrels.
That's all.
If only it were that simple.
I don't feel like eating now.
Done!
11pm.
Only 2am?
No good.
Sorry, you're out.
Just in time.
How agile.
How wasteful of you!
It doesn't meet my standard and taste.
How bad can it be?
Just bad.
How is it?
It's OK.
What? You're so undemanding.
Then you can finish it.
Hey... What?
Thanks for seeing me home last night.
You can't sleep again?
Sleep and I don't get along.
I thought it was because Fong-fong was haunting you.
So it's not her fault.
Have you been to a doctor?
Lots. I've even seen a hypnotist.
Do you have any other specialists to refer?
I'll tell you a secret.
My dad taught me how to catch a congee snake when I was a kid.
Catch a congee snake?
It's the jargon for making rice noodle rolls.
What kid would have the patience to suffer the heat to make rice noodle rolls?
I gave up half way.
That's why I can't make rice noodle rolls that taste like my dad's.
Let me try.
Maybe I'm a natural-born congee snake catcher.
Be careful.
Pour evenly.
Hold it up... higher still.
You may be catching a congee snake,
but you don't have to slither.
It's called getting into character.
What's for breakfast? Bread again?
I didn't know you would get up so early.
I didn't include you.
No need.
I have my weight loss yoga class later.
Fei-fei, why aren't you eating?
It's your favourite.
I have PE lesson today.
We're not supposed to eat too much.
Alright. Finish the drink.
Let me put it in the fridge.
Hey... it won't be tasty anymore.
Let me do you the favor of finishing it.
I thought you're trying to lose weight?
Eat first, lose it later.
Fei-fei, remember what I taught you?
Have determination and perseverance and walk your talk.
Bloated Auntie Fa is a cautionary tale.
What? Come again?
Bloated.
Who's bloated?
Shut up and go to school.
Fei-fei, let's go. Just leave it.
Come on... let's go.
Bye... Bye...
Fei-fei...
Daddy, how come you're here?
I missed you.
Look what I bought you?
Thank you.
You look pale. You don't feel well?
Chiu, how come you're here?
Where's your sister?
She's busy today.
That's why I'm here to pick Fei-fei up.
Does she know Fei-fei's not feeling well?
Fei-fei, you don't feel well?
I don't think! can have piano lesson today
Why?
Because...
Fei-fei...
Bianca...
She just took medicine and is asleep now.
Don't wake her up.
Yee, what's wrong with you?
I asked you to babysit her for a couple of days.
Where did you take her?
We went for ice-cream.
What? Ice-cream?
Too much ice-cream is not good for her.
Just once.
You take her for ice-cream from time to time.
I didn't know it would be this serious.
Unbelievable!
You're the one who's unbelievable!
What?
Don't be so loud. Don't wake your daughter.
Yee, what are you doing here?
It's not a show.
Go back to your room.
Don't get in their way.
You two can fight, just don't be too loud,
and don't throw things.
Talk it over, OK?
You're Fei-fei's mother.
It's your job to take care of her.
If you hadn't left her to other people...
It's my fault again?
I run around for the family.
You run around for your interior decoration business.
You were meeting suppliers behind my back.
How did you know?
Boss Fong told me about it.
I thought you came back out of spite.
What are you doing?
Going rogue?
Why didn't you talk to me about it first?
I did. I've asked you countless times.
You never took it seriously.
Since you weren't interested,
I had to do it on my own.
What's wrong with that?
I've spared you the trouble.
We're a couple; we should work as a team.
I put food on the table,
you take care of the family.
What's wrong with that?
Why can't you be contented?
Why do you have to aim so high?
Why do you always say that?
We deserve better.
I want our daughter to have a better life.
Our daughter?
She told the doctor she hasn't been well since this morning.
In order to give her a better life,
you didn't even notice she's not feeling well.
Mui Chiu, it hurts me to see our daughter sick too.
Why are you yelling at me?
I feel bad too.
Please, what do you really want?
I don't know.
It seems like our life is going nowhere.
They love each other.
Yet they're making life difficult for each other.
If they keep at it, they'll say something regretful.
I know how to deal with women.
I can help him.
How?
Just watch.
Don't be reckless.
Since we can't see eye to eye.
Maybe we should split up.
Don't you ever say that again.
Possessing again?
What are you doing?
Cut it out.
Honey, I really love you very much.
You are my sunshine, the air that I breathe.
I can't live without you; you can't live without me.
Enough!
Let go of me.
I'm serious.
Honey, we're meant for each other.
We can't be separated.
Forget it! Leave me alone.
Honey...
May I?
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Everything I do is for you.
Cut it out!
Stop it! I feel dizzy...
You're amazing.
Stop it! What's wrong with you?
You don't like dancing?
I'll sing for you.
Po Yan, Po Yan is the sweetest.
Po Yan is the prettiest.
You are the spring bloom.
Po Yan, Po Yan, I love you.
Stop it! What are you doing?
You don't like dancing or singing?
No!
Honey, don't be mad.
Be serious!
I really love you.
I don't love you.
Oh no... your husband is making it worse.
Honey, why are you so cruel?
Shut up... come out.
We need to talk.
Honey... Come on...
Honey, hear me out...
Shut up... come on...
What now?
Just a moment...
Want the middle finger treatment?
I dare you.
Come out...
Not a moment too soon.
You done? You've botched it!
It's not my fault.
He couldn't carry a tune.
Rose, rose, I love you...
Are you awake? You OK? Seven notes... he made it into eight.
Get lost!
Yan told me to get lost?
Get lost!
How pathetic!
You have to pass in front of him!
What are you talking about?
I mean forget about the past.
Foon, Yan said we should split up.
I overheard that.
She said you two should split up for ten minutes to cool down.
Really? Yes.
So take it easy. No worries.
Let me go change.
Then I'll take you somewhere.
Wait for me. Don't go in.
Mommy... don't cry.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't be so fond of food.
I'm sorry.
Don't be silly.
I should say sorry instead.
I didn't notice you were sick.
I didn't tell you because you might get mad
Silly girl.
Go to sleep. Come on.
You'll be well when you wake up.
Good.
Go to sleep, my darling.
What is it?
I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of Fei-fei.
I didn't think this would happen.
Chiu was right.
Taking care of her is my job.
I shouldn't have passed it on to you.
I didn't even notice she was sick.
I'm in no position to blame you.
Yan...
I've probably overestimated myself.
Now it's ended up in a mess.
Some things can't be forced.
You're wrong.
You're a power woman to me.
Think about it.
You had to raise us when you were just in your teens.
You had to manage the family as well.
Yet you were top of your class every year.
You've finally grown up.
You talk like an adult now.
Just don't be mad at me.
Go to bed.
No one here?
Chu Chan-Chan!
Here you are.
Brother Chiu?
Chan-Chan? So this is... Yes.
Lady Boss, introduce your shop.
Brother Chiu...
Yes, our shop may be small, but we have everything.
We have stock, samples, and tools.
The is the most important is this table.
This is Yan's desk.
She single-handedly accounted for 70% of our new customers.
She really has business acumen.
She had the idea of building up our name with breakeven quotations.
Our business has since been on the rise.
I know it has been her ambition to go into business.
Still, it'll be at the expense of taking care of Fei-fei.
You saw what happened today.
I don't agree with that.
Yan cares for the shop,
but she cares about Fei-fei even more.
One call from Fei-fei and she'd rush back.
I can attest to that.
Me too.
Brother Chiu, I'm not an eloquent person.
But I can say that Fei-fei is always Yan's number one.
You should believe in her.
I do.
Still, a couple should live together.
I'm in Shenzhen now she's in Hong Kong.
That's not how a family should be.
Let me ask you,
what did you see in my sister when you were courting her?
Why did you marry her?
She's a tough nut.
Few men appreciate toughness in a woman.
You found your woman, shouldn't you be contented?
To be honest, if Yan were clingy, you would have dumped her long ago.
You two wouldn't have lasted this long.
To love a person is to accommodate them, warts and all.
See the corkboard here?
It's Yan's.
It reminds her of what she's working for.
Honey, do you remember when this was drawn?
This is our house.
So you want to live in a castle?
Yes, you're the king, Mommy is the queen.
I'm the little princess.
Will you help me with it?
Alright. This is our dream house.
I have to work harder to make more money.
Fei-fei, you're our darling.
We promise you, we'll make you the happiest princess in the world.
Yes!
Foon was right.
I married you, I should accept everything about you.
I shouldn't reshape you into my ideal.
He said that?
I want to give Fei-fei a better life too.
We see eye to eye on this.
It's not that I don't want to go into business...
You should remember what happened last time.
Dad had to bail me out.
That's because you believed in the wrong man.
Trust me, Chan-Chan won't con us.
We'll succeed this time.
Just promise me, always put Fei-fei first.
Then you'll have my support.
Let's work hard together
so we'll have our dream house.
I promise you,
if I find out that I can't handle it, I'll quit.
I'll come back every weekend for our family days.
We can take Fei-fei out for fun this Sunday
We'll go to a theme park.
Which one?
Why not both? Yes!
We're home.
Fei-fei, look who's back?
Mommy, you're home.
Yes. Not just me.
Papa... Fei-fei.
Papa, you're here too.
I missed you.
Now you two look like a couple.
Foon, thank you.
We're family. Don't mention it.
I happened to pass by a mock shark's fin soup stall.
Brother Foon, here's some mock shark's fin soup with fish paste for your night snack.
You bought me mock shark's fin soup?
And you even called me Brother Foon?
You're my sister again.
Thank you.
Chiu, I heard you're a terrific dancer.
You and Yan fell in love over a dance.
Since we're all here.
Show us.
He means you.
I can dance?
When did you pick that up?
How come I didn't know?
I picked up dancing? I don't think so.
It wasn't Papa. It was Uncle.
Uncle? Which uncle?
She means you dance like an uncle.
She's teasing you.
Hone your skills.
Bianca, how naughty of you to tease your dad.
No big deal.
Since we're all here,
I have something to tell you guys.
Chiu and I have talked it over.
I'll stay here for my business.
He'll continue to work up north.
He'll come over and stay here on the weekends.
Since we can find space for you, why not?
Besides he's only here on weekends.
We don't have thousands of square feet.
One and then another...
This house stinks of men.
I don't stink. I shower every day.
Hubby...
It's only for a few months.
We can make do.
You don't shower every night either.
Mommy says it makes the house masculine.
Smart girl.
Fei-fei, bravo!
The house has plenty of room.
Someone feels it crowded because she's gaining weight and growing in size.
Who's gaining weight?
You're implying I'm fat?
He didn't just imply it. He said it.
You didn't get it?
Hubby...
What? Who's fat?
Your wife.
She's not just fat; she has grim eyebrows.
I'm not fat!
So I'm not the fattest one here now.
Fei-fei...
Yeah!
You only care about your stocks.
You let your wife get walked all over.
They were just kidding.
Don't take it so seriously.
What about that Chiu moving in?
The house is crowded already.
Your brothers are decent enough, I can tolerate them.
But look at that Chiu.
He has black fingernails.
He's more like a barbarian.
I hardly know him.
Aren't you worried about your hot wife?
What are you talking about?
Chiu is not that kind of man.
I don't care.
I don't like living here.
They just called me fat.
They didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
You really have gained weight.
What?
Annual dinners and classmate reunions are coming up.
Keep fit, or I won't be able to take you out
Drop dead!
The couch tonight.
I'm fine with tht.
The bed's gotten too small.
Go sleep with your stocks and funds.
They don't take up any space.
Funds?
Oh no!
Yue? Close the door. What is it?
Did Yan know about me investing for you?
No, but I was going to tell her about it.
Don't!
Why not?
The market has been fluctuating.
Fluctuating?
Don't worry. It's quite normal.
Still, Yan is a drama queen.
Wait until you've made money.
Well...
To be safe, don't let her find your bank book.
Don't worry. I've switched to e-banking.
Yan doesn't know about it.
Even if she finds it out,
she doesn't know my password.
Smart! Then I'm relieved.
Is there anything else?
I want to take a shower.
Sorry... don't say anything. Thanks.
Shower time.
After so many lonely nights,
I finally get to sleep with my wife again.
Honey... where is she?
It's my e-banking account.
Who logged in?
Where has the 200 grand gone?
What 200 grand? What are you talking about?
Spare me.
I knew about your nest egg.
I checked your account every month.
200 grand has gone missing.
Tell me where it's gone.
You're amazing!
How did you guess my complex password?
I know you.
It's either my birthday or your birthday.
Don't change the subject.
Tell me, where has the 200 grand gone?
Do you have a mistress?
Of course not! I'm not that kind of man.
Lent to your fair weather friends?
It must be Horny Keung.
Let me call him.
No... Honey... I'll tell you...
I've given it to Yue to invest in funds
Funds?
Which funds? What about the management fee?
Will you lose money?
I didn't ask him for the specifics.
He's your brother.
He won't fleece me.
I'll go ask him for the details.
Don't... he was just doing me a favor.
If you go confront him, that means you don't trust him.
You feel bad; I don't.
I'll go ask him.
Honey... listen to me.
You keep saying Yue looks down on me.
If you go confront him about this,
he'll look down on me even more.
But...
For my sake, pretend you don't know about it.
Come on...
Alright... tell him to watch it closely.
Don't be greedy.
Sell once you've made a profit.
OK, five hundred dollars. OK?
Aim higher.
Come on, don't be mad.
Let me sing you a song. What?
Market gloom has spread to European and American stock markets.
Dow Jones Index took a plunge yesterday.
A further fall is expected.
Yue, the American stock market took a plunge...
I don't dabble in American stocks.
Honey, don't worry.
He's a veteran. He has an eye for stocks.
He wouldn't get burned.
Breakfast! Good!
Morning, Hubby.
What's the smell?
It's insecticide. Where's it coming from?
Insecticide?
It's the latest perfume from Paris.
It's the favorite of many Hollywood superstars.
Don't be so ignorant.
Sheeple!
So superstars can do no wrong?
Where's your dress made of raw beef?
Honey, I'll pick you up at 7 pm.
Don't forget to wear the diamond necklace I bought you.
OK.
I bought a dress to go with it.
I'll have my hair set again after the event
I'll shine in front of your banker friends.
I'll make you proud.
You're my darling.
Vain.
I forgot to post this morning.
Good morning, everyone.
Just got out of bed.
Breakfast with no make-up on.
No make-up? People aren't blind.
Go drop dead!
Chiu, are you done staring at my chest?
Have you been away from women for a long time?
Actually, I meant to tell you there's a chili sauce stain.
You men have no lack of excuses.
You're really unreasonable.
My hubby is not Yee. He's an honest man.
Honest men can still be horny.
Don't you wrongly accuse me.
I'm only interested in my wife.
Hear that?
Honey, it's just a misunderstanding.
Go change.
You have an event to attend.
Go change, just go.
I'm definitely changing.
There's another dude here,
no more V-cuts for me.
Do you know the meaning of shame?
Yan, please.
Chiu, sorry.
No big deal.
Save it.
Tiffany... look this way...
Look this way, please.
Fiona BB, your fan forever!
Take it easy...
This brand is so cheap.
These teen models don't make the cut.
You shouldn't have asked me to come.
We're on different levels.
They have a line for mature ladies.
What are you wearing?
It's a very pretty dress.
That's what you think.
That's not why they booked you.
They booked you for your cleavage.
That's why the cameras weren't on you.
I'll get coverage with my married life tidbits.
I don't need to fall to the level of these malnourished exhibitionists.
Let's see if anyone wants to listen.
Stay here, I'll get you some coverage.
Hello, it's been a while.
How about some shoots for Fiona?
Close up...
What's the point?
Just a couple, come on...
We have better things to do...
Later...
You're not photogenic enough for the reporters.
I tried. You can't blame me.
What's so photogenic about those chicks?
They were sucking pacifiers when I was on the catwalk.
Don't be so loud.
Don't remind people of your seniority.
I doctored your age in your online bio.
Or you wouldn't have any jobs.
I never asked you to do that.
I spend hours keeping my face young every day.
No one can tell my real age.
Are you sure?
Step aside, Auntie.
I'm so annoyed!
I shouldn't have changed out of my battle gear.
Now I'm the wallflower.
A torn dress will make me look worse.
Bingo.
Fiona BB...
Fiona, how eye-catching...
Your figure has gotten even better since your hiatus.
Did your husband approve this outfit?
Don't tease me.
It's getting warmer.
So I wore a cooler outfit.
Oops, Fiona BB, could you pick up my pen for me?
Sure. Thank you.
Sorry... she's not in top form today.
Leave it for next time.
Thank you... sorry...
Come on over...
What now?
What now? You told me I should show my cleavage for more coverage.
I said cleavage, not a spare tire.
What happened?
It's gross!
The lenses were on your belly.
I know what they're going to write.
Bloated Yu Fa sports a beer belly.
Oh no...
Those rascals...
Why didn't you warn me?
It's not your first day on the job.
If the boss of the slim waist powder sees these photos of your beer belly,
your contract will be canceled and you'll have to pay compensation.
We're in trouble.
It's not that I've given myself up.
Getting older means a slower metabolism.
A slower metabolism means I'll get fat.
I didn't get fat on purpose.
Don't be so loud...
Look... Carol is my age.
She looks like a housewife.
She has a big belly too.
Please, look carefully.
Hers is not a beer belly.
She's pregnant.
She's four months pregnant.
She's a staple in parenting and pretty mum columns.
Pregnant? How would I know?
Is it a trend or what?
Do you get paid for that?
Exactly! Parenting is the hottest market.
How would I know? You didn't tell me.
My god.
Uncle Yee, why did you drag me back so fast?
I'm not late for my piano lesson.
We need to change after getting sweaty.
I'm not sweaty. I am.
Did you ask Sis Sing-sun the questions I gave you?
Yes.
Let me write them down.
What's her favorite food?
Strawberries, apples and oranges.
Strawberries, apple sand oranges...
Hobbies?
Piano playing, music and movies.
I got her figures too.
Figures? How could you?
I shouldn't have asked?
Tell me.
Once a week for 3-D movies.
These figures.
Does she have a boyfriend?
I forgot to ask her that.
What? That's the most important one.
Here she comes.
Sis Sing-sun. Fei-fei.
Hi. Hi.
Thirsty? Let me buy you fruit juice.
Strawberry, apple and orange, right?
No, thanks. I'm not thirsty.
Sis Sing-sun, do you have a boyfriend?
Why are you asking me this question?
Uncle Yee wants...
Fei-fei, what have I taught you?
Don't be nosy.
That's too personal.
You asked me to...
Hush... what about afternoon tea later?
Great! I want baguettes with chocolate filling.
Alright... now go for your lesson.
Time for the lesson... OK...
Thank you.
Can't take your eyes off Chow Chung?
Don't get the wrong idea.
Yee turned the TV on.
I just happened to catch a glimpse of it.
His mind is not on it.
But yours is.
Turn it off! It's an eyesore.
It'll scare Yee.
That's just your excuse.
You can't bring yourself to turn Chow Chung off.
That's not true...
Quite good!
That's all for today!
Lesson's over. Great!
Sis Sing-sun, may I go to the toilet?
Of course! Come on...
Lesson's over? Yes.
I'm taking Fei-fei to afternoon tea.
Why don't you join us?
I'm sorry, I have another lesson.
Next time then.
Sure, next time.
Come on.
Bye... Bye...
Bye...
What? You can see me?
How come you're still here?

Don't tell me you're picking it up.
Stop it... Don't spin me...
