Good morning, Miss./ Good morning, Uncle Lu.
You.../ I'm in a hurry to go to the campus library to prepare for graduation.
I'm leaving now.
Uncle Lu, I want to ask you something./ Go ahead.
When I came home last night, did something not quite right happen?
You came home last night with 2 people carrying you.
You looked so happy that you were dancing.
I brought you a towel to wipe your face. But then you took the towel and danced again.
I'm old already, I have no idea if your dancing last night is what's popular nowadays.
Ok...stop. I know now, Uncle Lu. I'm leaving.
Hello, Mei-zuo.
I want to ask you, did you know what happened last night?
He was my boyfriend while on a vacation? I really said that?
Yes. You also said that you and Terrence liked each other, the both of you.../ Stop.
I talked about that too?
In front of him?
I'm so embarrassed. I must be crazy.
Why? Do you really care about all of this?
It's actually pretty normal.
You also said that you regretted it after.
You immediately left the next day.
Cai-na, who is that uncle named of Terrence?
I never knew his name.
He was a friend I knew while travelling to Yunnan.
If you're only friends with him, that means I can still chase you, right?
You didn't even ask him his name? That shows that you weren't even interested in him.
Of course. I only felt it was fun.
Why are you laughing?
I'm asking you seriously.
You and him both brought me home last night?
When I woke up this morning, look. There's a bruise on my face. My whole body hurts.
What happened last night?/ This...
Let's drink. I don't wanna go home...
Uncle, I'm the one who invited Cai-na. I should be the one to bring her home.
Do you know where she lives?/ She'll tell me.
She won't be able to tell you when she's drunk like this.
I brought her here./ So what?
Can you take good care of her?/ You were the one who let go first.
It's you./ It's obviously you.
Stop arguing. Let's hurry./ Do you really know where she lives?
I don't know./ Then where are you taking her?
Because you didn't want to go home last night. And I couldn't pull you by myself.
Stop. Don't speak anymore. Did I do something else that was stupid?
I guarantee that I have told you everything.
Like I said, I can't drink beer.
Look, when I woke up this morning my whole body still smells like beer.
Oh my goodness, you bring Chanel perfume with you all the time?
I prepared this for you Cai-na.
From now on you must remind me not to drink beer.
Honestly, what happened last night was fun too.
Take a look.
Zhang, are you ok?/ Yes.
I have a cold. I'm scared you'll contract it too.
Your face doesn't look well.
Go rest now. Leave all this to me./ No way. You have your own chores.
And you have to go to school today./ It's ok, my class starts at 9. There's time.
But you haven't had breakfast./ I've been on a diet lately.
It's ok, don't worry. Your health is more important. Go.
Shan-cai, you're such a good person.
You're Dao Ming-si's girlfriend, but you insist on working like this.
Zhang, we're both the same. Helping each other is how it should be. Go.
Look at this.
Students, let's begin our lesson.
I have already read some of your papers. They're not satisfying.
It's been one semester.
Is there anyone who can tell me in a simple way what is the core of this course?
Sir, the core in managing the market is exchanging.
Dao Ming-si, pretty good./ Of course.
Sir, if you have finished reading all the reports seriously,
...you will find that this class is full of superior students.
Ok... Our lesson will begin.
That's strange, he hardly ever interacts with the professor.
How come he has suddenly improved like that today?
This is the first time.
The wolf has become an obedient sheep.
The power of love is truly large and noble.
I'm worried for Qing-he.
Looking at the professor's expression, there's a possibility there's not much hope.
It's not about really hoping, it's that there's no hope.
Chen Qing-he, if you don't do well in school, that means that you're wasting your life.
But Shan-cai, your performance earlier was very good. You handled it well.
There won't be any problems./ I was so tense earlier. I...
Dong Shan-cai, you have such a great boyfriend, who can tutor you,
...no wonder you were prepared./ What do you mean?
Look, Dao Ming-si and Dong Shan-cai are dating.
Why are you pretending to not know?
That's right, we're dating and it's going really well.
Thank you for both of your attention./ You...
Come on./ It's ok, Shan-cai. Just ignore them.
Shan-cai! Are you guys really dating?
Pisses me off./ Shan-cai.
Why am I having such bad luck today?
Dao Ming-si, what is the meaning of your post?
Which one?/ The dating one.
What's wrong with it? I'm telling the truth, right?
You can say that./ If that's so, then why do you mind?
This is not something that needs to be made a big deal of and to spread the news.
Why not? I have a girlfriend now. I've liked her for so long.
And now she's finally willing to accept me.
What's important is that at this time there's no rival yet.
Now I'm very happy everyday physically and spiritually.
My improvements are obvious. Even the professor praised me earlier.
The professor that has 60 percent of failing his class? Impossible.
Nothing's impossible. If I'm happy, nothing's impossible.
The pretty stupid one is you./ You're the stupid one! I passed my exam earlier too.
That would be my services. Have you forgotten who has sacrificed his sleep to tutor you?
Let's get away from here.
That's right... Thank you.
But I also helped you alot with that society theory and marketing.
I wanted to thank you. I didn't know that as soon as you come,
...you'd blame me immediately for spreading the news of us being a couple.
I'm sorry. / If apologizing is useful, why the need for police?
Then what is it that you want?/ Go on a date with me.
Why are you all laughing? You guys want to go too?
Dao Ming-si, after graduating, where will you go?
I thought you didn't care about this.
After graduating, I'll probably go back to London.
Back to London? For vacation?
Of course not. I'm going to help in my family's business.
Will you come back?
If I don't come back, will you be sad?
Of course I'll be sad. It'll be hard to see you again.
Or you can beg me.
I could think about staying in Shanghai for you.
Really? If I beg then you'll stay?
You gonna beg or not? Will you die from begging me to stay?
I won't die. But if you're willing to stay, then stay.
Why should I beg you?/ Darn you spiteful girl.
Why are you so dumb? I have to be the one who says everything.
You're the dumb one. What do you expect me to say?
You can say, can you not go to London?
Can you continue on to graduate school here for me?
Wait for me to graduate. Can you wait for me? After graduating we'll still be together.
Can't you say all of this?
Really? You're going to graduate school here for me?
You'll wait for me to graduate together?
Dao Ming-si./ What?
I'm so happy.
Seeing your happy smile, makes me very happy too.
Dummy.
Why are you here?
Waiting for you.
Waiting for me?/ You don't have other plans, right?
I...have plans. I'm going on a date with Mei-zuo.
Date? Then why were you walking towards your house?
I was on my way. Then I realized that I left something at home.
So I came back.
Now I will leave again.
I'm not the police, and I'm not interrogating.
Why so much explanations?
I.../ There's something I want to say to you.
Next time ok. I'm in a rush. Mei-zuo is waiting for me.
Then I'll give you a ride./ But...
No buts. You said you're in a rush. Mei-zuo and I know each other anyways.
Hello!/ Hello, Mei-zuo. Where are you?
I'm at a friend's house./ Can you come over here for a while?
I need you./ Ok, I'll be right there.
Guys, I have something to take care of, I gotta go.
We all just got here. What is it that you have to take care of?
Important business.
Let's eat some fruit.
Shan-cai is still living here?/ If she doesn't stay live here, then where will she live?
I meant that can she handle the pressure from your Mom?
She's really brave.
Truly. Whenever his Mom is mentioned, I get goosebumps.
Is his Mom that scary?
Thanks to her, there're many business competitions that was made so bankrupt...
...that they became homeless.
Once she sees someone she doesn't like, she will use many ways to destroy that person.
Stop talking.
And you dared to call her a stinky old lady.
I... Did I say that?
How come I don't remember?
We all heard it.
Don't think that just because I'm young, you can bully me, stinky old lady.
What did you say? Say it again.
Stinky old lady. I'm calling you that, so what?
My world doesn't welcome you. Get out.
Please get out.
When she comes home and finds out that someone is living here secretly,
...even dating her son. Guess what she's gonna do?
A Si, what's your plan?/ She's my Mom. I can't do anything to her.
But if she dares to threaten Shan-cai, I will protect Shan-cai in front of her.
Anyways, my Mom only comes back a few times a year.
Before she returns, a solution will be found.
Mei-zuo, what took you so long to get here?/ Do you miss me that much?
Listen, when we get to that bar, we have to pretend to look really intimate.
Then you have to say that we already made plans but was delayed because of something. Understand?
Say it to who?/ The uncle from that day.
Him again? Why?
Enough, don't ask anymore. Let's go quickly. I'll explain later.
I'm sorry I'm late, I had something to take care of.
It's ok.
Late for a date. Your boyfriend here truly meets the standards.
Who said? I really respect women. I've never been late.
Then why the exception today?/ Today...
Today it's because I...
He's never been late. But because he's younger than me,
...even when late, I just let it go.
What about being younger?
That's alright, don't say anything anymore. We've come here for drinks today.
Let's see what we'll drink, ok.
You can't drink. Don't drink.
Then I'll just drink soda.
You both drink.
I want a drink that's a bit strong. Can you drink?
You should ask me if I get drunk or not.
A man prefers quality rather than quantity of drinks.
Truly the words of a child.
The quality of beer is truly the basic quality of a man. Why should it be discussed?
Ok, if you're good in quality and quantity, it's my treat tonight./ No problem.
Wei-xun.
Please bring a glass of Red Bomb for this Mr. here.
Ok.
Uncle, Cai-na and I are on a date, why are you here?
I was discussing some problems with her.
You see, right, that we're on a date.
Good, we can discuss it in front of him instead of behind his back.
That makes sense. Go ahead./ I don't want to talk about it. We'll talk about it next time.
Why wait for next time?/ Why not now?
Because I don't want to talk about that problem right now.
Which problem?
The one you clearly know about.
Yes, that problem./ That's why I don't want to talk about it. Please!
Your Red Bomb.
Drink it all.
There's a few strong drinks mixed into one, then some chili powder was added.
So that you'll collapse as soon as you drink it.
Mei-zuo, are you sure? This is obviously a wine juice for women.
Or how about let Cai-na have it?/ Ok.
No, you can't drink it.
Why not? I can handle drinking a little bit of wine juice.
This person is too sly.
Want to work on me? Still too early!
A drink like this won't make you drunk even if you drink it all night long./ Really?
Then I'll have another glass./ That's right. You've passed on it earlier.
Another glass of Red Bomb./ Ok.
This is for you from Cai-na.
It should work this time.
You're quite good. Really able to handle it.
Like it?/ Yes.
Good. It's rare to have something that you both like.
Spiteful boy. It's too spicy for me./ How about this, it's my treat tonight.
Wei-xun, give each of them a glass of Red Bomb./ Ok.
Another glass can kill.
Here, your Red Bomb.
Drink up. Why aren't the both of you drinking it?
Of course I'll drink it. Why not?/ Yeah.
Come on, Mei-zuo. Cheers.
Wait, what did we talk about last time?
Cai-na didn't want to talk about the certain problem.
I remember. You mean about the day before when Cai-na was ok being with you,
...but then why did she leave without saying goodbye the next day, right?/ Yes.
Why are you talking about this?
I don't want to talk about it.
Can you guys just drink your beers? Drink it.
I understand. This is really easy. Cai-na doesn't like you.
She regretted it on the first day so that's why she left the next day. It makes sense.
Really?/ Isn't it?
Cai-na, is that true?
Were you just playing with me?
You're both not drinking. So I'll drink./ Cai-na.
Cai-na./ Cai-na.
Cai-na.
I don't want to go home.
What're you doing?/ Let go.
You let go.
Cai-na is my girlfriend. Get away from her.
Cai-na./ What do you think you're doing!
What is the meaning of this?
Are you ok, Cai-na?/ Come on, get up.
My head's really dizzy.
It really hurts.
You said you were going to go with me to buy reference books.
But I want to go home to tidy up my old clothes.
Clothes?/ I want to sell them as used clothes online.
So that I can make money, it's not wasteful and it frees up space.
The point is that it'll help people who needs it.
Swim once, passes 4 islands. My idea is pretty thorough, right?
It is./ Besides I have to go to your house to do some cleaning.
Just because of this? I'll take care of it by calling Aunty Yu.
Don't. I've already said that I'll go to your house to clean.
I don't want to have special treatment.
Fine, I'll go buy them alone. If you want any books, text me.
I'll send you the book titles later.
Bye bye./ Bye bye.
It's all sold in 2 hours. Selling used things transactions are really fast.
What's going on?/ Madame Commissioner is home.
Why did come back so suddenly? I...have to leave immediately.
Welcome home, Madame Commissioner.
When I wasn't home, did anything happen?
No, Madame. All is as usual.
Has my bath water been prepared?/ Yes.
Who gave you permission to use your phones during working hours?
It's not me, Madame./ Then who is it?
Stop hiding. Come on out.
Isn't this that Miss Shan-cai that refused the 5 million Yuan?
Why have you come to my house as a servant?
Aunty Yu, can you explain?
Shan-cai was brought in by me.
But from my observations these past few days, this child is very hard-working.
Never been lazy. She can handle her chores well.
I hope that she can continue working here.
I will not allow such an inelegant woman as her to be in my home.
This girl doesn't steal or rob.
She lives off on the results of her own hard work. What's wrong with it?
Aunty Yu, don't make a conflict with her because of me.
I will leave.
You are now working for the Dao Ming family. You are under my supervision.
You are forbidden to leave.
Madame, ever since this child has been here,
...A Si has become studious, even his temperament has improved.
Shan-cai's good influence on A Si can be called an improvement.
Shouldn't Madame be thinking about what's good for A Si?
Allow Shan-cai to look after A Si.
A Si has become good. Madame won't need to be tired anymore.
Aunty Yu, I respect you because you've worked here for more than 60 years.
But that doesn't mean that you can cross the line.
I will not allow my son to date this woman.
A Zhuang and A Si was cared for by me until they've grown up.
I saw how you destroyed A Zhuang's happiness with my own eyes.
I've vowed to not allow the same thing to happen to A Si.
I will not allow Shan-cai to leave this house.
Why are you meddling in this?
Let me remind you that I'm the lady of the house, not you.
Madame, have you forgotten A Si's grandfather's last message just before he died?
I'll remind you. He said that, as long as I'm alive,
...this family will remain in my care.
What if I must be rid of her today?
Then I will ask you to please...
...take care of my burial first.
When will you stop crying? It's annoying.
I'm sitting here watching you cry. Your crying is making me think that I'm going to die.
I'm sad, frustrated and embarrassed and...
That's enough, that's enough. Drink some hot tea. Don't think about it anymore.
Thank you, Aunty Yu. Aunty has defended and helped me so much.
I really don't know how to thank Aunty.
Don't...please don't ever do anything. Don't make things messy.
It was such hard work for me to pull you out of the tiger's mouth.
You just be a good girl and stay here, do you understand?
I'm sorry.
I used to think that Aunty was a firm old lady, stern and without feelings.
Of course I am. Look at yourself, don't look at me with such an ugly face.
Then I won't look at you anymore.
Oh yeah, Aunty Yu. How did you start working for the Dao Ming family?
It's a long story.
When I was 19 years old I had to live on my own and pay debts.
My path was a dead end.
A Si's grandfather knew about my problems. He helped me to pay off my debts.
And he also had me work for his family.
My life was saved by A Si's grandfather.
Since then I was determined to protect Dao Ming family for the rest of my life.
I've spent this lifetime repaying Dao Ming family.
Then, Mr. Dao Ming who is A Si's father...
...also slowly grew up and graduated from school.
Then he married Madame Commissioner. A Zhuang and A Si was born.
This family became crowded for dozens of years.
What was Dao Ming-si's father like?
Mr. Dao Ming was such a good person.
He was very smart since he was small.
He took over the family business at a young age. He didn't disappoint.
He's hard-working, serious. Worked from day until night.
I always advised him to take care of his health, not to get too tired.
But he said, no. Every one of his employees relies on him.
I cannot be lazy.
He was truly a great man.
Truly a great person.
But I'm willing that he's a little lazy, lessens his stress a bit.
I think I've heard Dao Ming-si said that his Dad's passed away.
When A Si was in middle school, he had liver cancer and died.
And then?
After he died, Madame Commissioner took over Dao Ming Group.
Then this family changed by itself.
The happiness in the past no longer exists, slowly becoming silent.
A Zhuang was taught to be a kind-hearted girl.
But there's not one person who can control A Si's brutality.
While in middle school, A Si always comes home with his body full of wounds.
When we got a letter from school,
...that was how we found out that those wounds were a result of his fighting with others.
Eventhough Madame Commissioner was very worried,
...because she was so busy, she wasn't able to give time for him.
There was no choice but to have him taught by a family teacher.
A Si, you're home?
Your face.../ Nagger.
But it was useless. It kept repeating.
I was worried and wasn't willing. I really didn't know what to do.
I've been worried about A Si this whole time.
Since you came, I can see A Si changing.
How's that? I didn't do anything.
I really hated him too in the beginning.
When I disagreed with a few of his actions, I beat him up.
Beat him like this.
That's right.
Since A Zhuang got married,
...there's not one person in this house who dares to treat him that way.
No. When I first beat him it was to sacrfice my own safety.
To think about it now, it felt scary.
Now I don't dare to beat him if asked.
Shan-cai, you cannot leave here.
Even if I have to sacrifice this old life of mine, I will still protect you well.
No way.
Don't worry. Aunty has thought of a brilliant plan.
Plan?
Aunty Yu, it's the middle of the night. I should go.
You cannot go.
If you dare to leave, then the next time we'll meet is at my funeral.
Why is Aunty threatening me?
Ok, tell me your plan.
My plan is do it first, report it later. Rice turned into porridge.
Embarrass your opponent and make our plan succeed.
The get pregnant then marry plan. Do you understand now?
Aunty spoke too fast. I didn't hear you clearly.
