Course 18- The Big Confession From the Strenght of a Turtle
May I ask if there is a problem?
I want to discuss with you about yesterday.
This is about He Qun's previous
girlfriend Rita getting back with He Qun in front of you.
Miss Cheng,
did this really happen?
Why are you two elders so childish?
Our child is getting married,
how can you just cancel it when you feel like it?
I didn't say it first.
It was the petty Mr. Cheng that said it ..
That person is petty?
Then what about yourself?
That person just simply stated a his opinion,
then you started to complain.
Sinec you also like that girl Xiao Shi,
couldn't you be a little more cooperative?
Shame on you.
After being in many big government cases,
you couldn't use one of those skills to plan a wedding.
Da Tong, go back.
Miss Cheng, what are you thinking about right now?
Your probably thinking about how to lie to us, right?
Nothing like that happened.
Really? Nothing like that happened?
If this really didn't happened...
then can you explain what these photos are about?
I don't know.
Miss Cheng...
He Qun previously on television
publically announced his relationship with you.
Now he is
getting back together with his ex-girlfriend behind your back.
Don't you think
that you should come out and say the truth to everyone?
That way the readers can all understand
the real personality of He Qun.
This is our family matters.
Who are you?
Do I need to report to you?
You, stop taking pictures!
Mr. Chairman, you probably won't recognize me,
let me self-introduce myself.
I am E-New's president
CK Liang.
E-News president,
so it because of presidents like you
that are causing newspapers to write nothing but nonsense.
Do you think you can take a few pictures
to write another fabricated story?
Is that how you want to raise your newspaper to your previous standings?
Don't get emotional Mr. Chairman.
I am extremely possitive
that I can reveal
the truth behind these pictures.
So that is why I came
here to chat with Cheng Xiao Shi.
I guarantee this isn't another 'fabrication'.
Okay,
then let me tell you the truth.
Rita and my two sons
were best friends since they were little kids.
Rita is also my second son's girlfriend.
Young people playing around,
I think it is perfectly normal.
But everyone also knows
Rita was He Qun's ex-girlfriend.
WHo can guarantee she won't
get back together with He Qun?
Relax,
this situation will never happen.
The reason why my wife and I are here today
is to talk about Xiao Shi and He Qun's wedding.
So do you think those pictures of yours
will have any meaning at all?
Wedding?
Right.
Family-in-law,
what you are saying s correct.
I think those two young ones
should have an engagement first, then their wedding.
This way it will be more traditional.
Do you agree?
Yes.
Family--in-law!
Did you decide on a restaurant yet?
We ought to go try it out.
Right, Xiao Shi,
Before we can do your wedding pictures, we must fix up your face.
I sincerely
wish the wedding you speak of is true.
But before the wedding,
I will let everyone know the truth.
Then,
I hope He Qun and Cheng Xiao Shi's wedding
will still go smoothly.
President Liang,
I hope you can find the truth sooner,
or else I will go to the Senate
and use public powers to
guide your newspaper on the right path.
Very good.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Still Mr. Chairman?
When I am almost your dad, why are you still using formal language?
Family-in-law,
we still haven't finished talking.
When we left off,
was it 12 big present and 6 small ones?
Right?
You, weren't you done with the conversation?
But my wife said,
we must have Xiao Shi as our daughter-in-law.
So we can't have our opinions
block the relationship between our children.
Right?
Also, because of the appearance of the news people,
I believe this wedding has to go on no matter what.
Okay.
With your words,
if anyone dares to
stop HQ and XS wedding,
they will have to answer to us.
Ye Ye, isn't this great?
Very good.
Now about that news article,
it seems like I will have to handle it.
That article can only be solved by me.
See,
I just new CK won't
have guts to post news on you and Rita.
Just let him post it,
I wouldn't even reply to it.
I need to clean myself
since I already know I did something wrong.
What you said is completely right.
We never should have went along,
delay the issue.
We were just condoning it.
It's about time to go to the magazine interview.
Let's go.
Okay.
(Dad)
Hello, dad.
What did you do now?
Why would a news company have Rita
and your pictures?
Pictures?
Who told you?
The news company even personally went to Cheng family.
How long do you plan on hiding facts from us?
So all of Cheng family know.
I just knew you did something wrong.
He Qun,
your feelings for Cheng Xiao Shi,
are they real, or are you just playing around?
I am warning you,
if you are treating Cheng Xiao Shi like that,
your mom and I won't ever forgive you.
Dad, there is nothing going on between me and Rita.
I also did nothing to hurt Cheng Xiao Shi,
it was just because Rita got hurt.
as a friend,
I ought to take care of her.
If Rita got hurt and needed help,
that should be Ah Zhe's problem.
Ah Zhe and Rita
already broke up.
Even if they broke up,
that doesn't make it your responsibility to take care of her.
Dad, the situation is really what you think.
This is called smoke where there is no fire,
if there are no evidence,
how can others groundlessly accuse you?
It must be that you and Rita did something
to allow them to find some fault.
Dad, I already explained it to you.
If you still conclude that I am guilty, then
it would be useless to say anything else.
No matter what I say,
you wouldn't believe me.
If you have the ability, do things that others will believe.
No use.
No matter what else I do, you won't believe me.
Dad, I still have work
so that will be all for now.
Bye.
Hello?!
This-
He Qun, you-
Situation is already
like this, yet he still is not worried!
I trust my son,
there must be some misunderstand somewhere.
Even if it is a misunderstanding,
the photos are now in there hands;
whatever they want to say they can.
What can you do about that?
Solutions are thought by people.
Don't you have the president's business card?
Schedule a time to talk with him.
if you meet him for 3 minutes,
maybe he will let that news slide by.
As long as the pictures don't get released,
our child will definitely be okay.
Don't you have the president's name card?
Talk with him.
Just talk.
See if he can let it go.
As long as the photo doesn't leak,
the kid will definitely have no problems.
Looking at this situation
it must be dealt by me.
Hello,
President Liang?
I am He Meng Yuan.
The situation that just happened,
I want to talk to you about that privately
Do you have time for me to find you right now?
Mr. Speaker
I am always opened to your visits.
He Qun and Chen Xiao Shi's fake engagement,
they must be very fortunate.
They even have a dad that will help them clean this up.
But, this ship has already sunk.
due to time.
The long we stall
the longer the ship sink.
You can fake it much longer.
Don't you agree.
What's with this fake ship?
I came this time to tell you.
He Qun and our family's Xiao Shi this time
is really going to marry.
So, I hope that this marriage issue won't
because of your photo, become messed up.
Sorry, Mr. Chen
What did you say? I did not hear you clearly.
Can you say it again clearly?
I said, "Our family's Xiao Shi and He Qun, this time
is really going to marry.
So I hope you don't break them up."
Understand?
So this time is real?
Then last time was fake, right?
Don't try to manipulate my words.
Last time,
they truly liked each other,
so it's real as well.
But this,
Vincent already confessed,
last time's marriage was fake.
He was just using you guys
to help He Qun gain media coverage.
What!
Vincent is not this kind of person.
Don't try to trick me.
Mr. Chen,
You are not in the entertainment sphere;
there is a lot of things you don't know.
Vincent, this kind of person is always ingenious.
In this entertainment sphere, he always creates news,
this, you don't know right?
You probably don't know.
That He Qun
New song press conference day,
is the day that your daugher
announced that she is He Qun's fiancee's day for that day
Vincent brought Rita
to the position as He Qun's girlfriend
to help him.
Are you talking Xiao Shi announcing
that she is He Qun's fiancee's day before that day?
Day before yesterday is Rita
Then came
a fiancee named Chen Xiao Shi.
Doesn't this make a lot of people curious?
But...
But Xiao Shi was with that He Qun
They started this as actors
faking as a couple
but that help nurtured real feelings.
This is the truth.
You have been in love, right?
Of course.
Then I'll tell you.
He Qun and Rita dated for six years.
Do you believe that he will change his heart so fast?
Can you guarantee that short time with your daughter will
that few months of feeling will
make up for He Qun and Rita's
six years of feelings.
Then, what you are saying is
If they can do this,
this means that he and Xiao Shi
can have a change of heart really fast.
It's more likely that he and Rita rekindled their past romance.
Hello, madame.
Excuse me.
Ok.
He Qun, thanks for your cooperation.
This magazine, next month will
appear in magazines all across Asia.
Before it's released I will...
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Madame called.
Says that the master already went to the news company.
My dad?
My dad went to the news company.
He went to find CK directly.
He wants to help you suppress
the issue with the pictures.
Thank you.
Thank you, excuse me.
Weird?
How come it's missing?
Miss
What are you looking for?
The publisher's name card we got this morning.
Dad took it?
Why did he take the name card?
To help you right the wrong.
Right the wrong?
What wrong?
Dad want to talk with the publisher
said that he want to help Xiao Shi
stop the publishing of that news.
How can dad do that alone?
He is so straight and honest.
He will definitely be used by the publisher.
Is my husband so dumb?
Look at Xiao Shi worried like this.
You..
How can you sneak record?
If I don't record, how can I find evidence?
Mr. Chen.
It's good you are not an entertainment person or
it's really to think about
how you are going to survive?
Speaker, let me inform you...
There is no need.
He knows I will come.
Someone is here with you.
Why are you here?
I...
Mr. He.
This morning, didn't you
assure me about the issue Xiao Shi's
Marriage authenticity?
Why after thinking a bit, did you come here?
Do you have some sort of concern?
Offer the price.
This pictures.
Xiao Shi!
Xiao Shi, why are you here?
My dad went to find CK Liang.
My dad wants to right the wrong,
so I am here to help.
My dad is also here.
President He.
Let's go.
President He.
Do you believe E-News Entertainment Newspaper
10 years of goodwill is only worth 10 million TWD?
Then why don't you offer a price?
No matter what I will pay.
I never thought that a public official
can accumulate so much wealth so that
I can pick the price.
It seems that the official's reputation for impartiality and honesty
is simply nonexistent.
As a public officer for many years, I, He Meng Yun,
never swindle a cent.
I confess, this lot of money, I don't have.
But I will find a way
as long as you promise to not report this
not hurt my son and Chen Xiao Shi.
Official He, your dedication to your son's issues
is really touch.
Ok.
I will offer a price.
E-New's entertainment reporting is...
priceless.
You little person.
Before you sneaked recorded
now you mock him.
Are you human?
Mr. Speaker,
Now I really believe that
you are an honest
and righteous political figure.
Said it.
What has to happen for you
to let go?
In order to confirm E-News Entertainment Newspaper
is the truth,
I will never let go.
Ok.
If you dare to report it,
I will sue you to bits.
Sue to ruin your company.
Until it is ruined.
What we report is the truth.
We welcome you to sue.
This pin hole camera has already caught all the actions from the both of you.
You petty man!
I keep emphasizing that
I want you two to speak honestly, but you two keep making excuses
and try to cover it.
I have no choice but to use my own means to search for the answer I need.
Mr. Chen.
If I disclose the content of our recorded discussion from a moment earlier,
everyone will know that He Qun is indeed a liar.
Last time he held a press conference is fake.
After the real marriage gets announced,
I don't know
if there will be time to host it.
One more thing Minister,
If I send Premiere the recorded video of you askig to buy off
all the photo.
your recently reinstated position as the Minister,
may have to be taken away again.
Director,
I beg you.
Please don't disclose
the video that was recorded just now and those photos.
I can publish an apology.
On behalf of our two children.
I will apologize to all the readers of this country.
and apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
On behalf of our two children,
I will apologize to all the readers of this country
and apologize to you.
I'm sorry..
I'm sorry...
Director Liang..
..I, He Meng Yuan, have never before begged anyone in my life.
My problem is minor,
but I beg you to let our two children off.
Please let He Qun off.
He can't afford to leave the stage.
Stop wasting time.
I will not destroy the evidence,
and I will not give up on finding the truth.
Dad!
Don't beg him.
Dad!
Director Liang,
don't think that you can have everyone within your grasp.
just because you have the media in control.
You've always persisted in finding out what you call to be the truth.
Your main purpose is to be benefit yourself,
and force everyone else into a corner.
You want us to fall into your trap.
How is that different from extorting information from us?
What do you understand?
I'm here to put justice in place.
I'm here to see who's been telling lies,
and who the real deceiver is.
To put justice in place.
You're the real deceiver!
You're just controlling the media
and confusing the audience.
You just want everyone to go forward in the direction you want.
I don't care what you say.
The evidence I have in hand is enough to prove that you've all been lying.
CK, you're so confident,
but I think you're misjudged the situation.
because we after announce the news about He Qun and Xiao Shi wedding tomorrow,
all your evidence will turn into a laughingstock.
You...
You think that I don't have the guts to publish them?
I'm very willing to make this bet with you.
Everyone,
I trust that Director Liang will think thoroughly on whether or not
it will be worth to risk his newspaper's reputation on
a news story that he's not confident about.
So I think wa should give both time and space to let him think this matter through.
Come, please.
I think everyone should be hungry by now.
so let's eat first.
Vincent,
do you think that Director Liang will publish those photos tomorrow?
In logic, he won't.
There's no reason for him to risk taking an embrassment on the same day.
that we announce the newa of the wedding.
But CK Liang is indeed very problematic.
Knowing his personality, he won't rest easily.
Anyhow, He Qun can't afford any more damages to his career,
so we must not take this issue too lightly.
Excuse me.
I'm going to the rest room.
Director
I can publish an apology,
On behalf of our two children,
I will apologize to all the readers of this country
and apologize to you
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry...Director Liang,
I, He Meng Yuan, have never before begged anyone in my life.
I beg you,
to let our two children off.
Please let He Qun off.
He can't afford to leaves the stage.
An accidental fake engagement
has caused everyone around me to bear such unnecessary pressure,
especially Xiao Shi.
If she had never met me,
she should be a very content Turtle Girl right now.
I can't help her break her curse,
but rather, I've caused her to suffer from misfortunes all day and night.
I really am the Jinx of her life.
How can I let her bear this chain of hurtful events?
This is all my fault.
So I should be the only one to endure it.
Cheng Gang,
come have a smoke with me.
I don't smoke.
You old fellow, you...
Can't you come and accompany an old friend?
Can't you come outside to have a walk with your future in-law?
Yes, that right.
I also need to go buy some stuff.
Let's all go, Mr. Cheng.
Let's go.
Oh god,
why did my old dad escape with them?
Ever since He Qun and I separated at the hospital yesterday,
we still haven't apoken a single word with each other.
What should I say now?
This is so embarrassing.
Cheng Xiao Shi.
I owe you an explanation.
The kiss I had with Rita yesterday..
I'm very sorry.
You don't need explain. I believe you.
About what Rita said at the hospital yesterday...
I don't mind.
Rita just broke up with Ah Zhe,
so she needed someone to accompany her.
About what happened today at the news office...
It's okey.
You're a public figure.
So these type of circumstances are hard to avoid.
For all this time a lot of unhappy things have occurred.
I'm very sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Isn't this how life is?
Isn't life never simple?
But, don't forget.
Just smile, and there's nothing you can't overcome!
Everything will pass over sooner or later.
Do your best.
Cheng Xiao Shi..
..what I want to say is..
..that perhaps I really am the Jinx of your life.
Not only I've brought bad luck to you,
..but your family have also been dragged into this by me.
So from now on..
..you better stay away from me.
Otherwise, you'll continue to have bad luck and never be able to stand back up.
Why are you saying this to me?
What are you trying to say?
To put it simply..
..it's best that..
..we don't see each other again now onwards.
What are you trying to say?
To put it simply..
..it's best that..
..we don't see each other again now onwards.
Don't see each ather again?
I'm sorry.
I'll get a tower to help you wipe it off.
You see.
I really am your Jinx.
So from today onwards.
Please stay away from me.
Turtle Girl.
You're calling me "Turtle Girl" again!
Who told you to be so much like a turtle, who always get humiliated everyday?
Isn't it always your fault, Jinx?
That's why I just said,
please stay away from me.
Fine! Remember you said it.
I'm leaving!
Xiao Shi?
Turtle Girl.
I'm sorry.
This is the only way that I can get you to leave me.
Did you really want to give up your relationship with Cheng Xiao Shi?
Yet they say "a girl's heart is hard to grasp" ?
I think it's a man's heart that never speaks directly!
It always bends here and there, and twists and turns.
Inexplicable!
Stupid He Qun!
Why must I get lost when you tell me to get lost?
What right do you have to treat me like this?
Not again!
What is the meaning of this?
It's here again...
Stupid He Qun!
You truly are a Jinx!
I must've owe you a lot from my past life.
so now I'm being toyed with you in this life!
Ever since I've meet you,
my life started going out of control.
Maybe staying away from you isn't a bad idea!
At least I won't have as much bad luck.
What's with this weather?
It was bright and sunny a moment ago, and now it's raining.
Seriously...
Look at this child..
It's pouring rain.
you'll get a cold if you don't hold an umbrella.
This child..
You silly child, why are you standing in the rain alone?
silly child, why are you standing in the rain alone?
She's my daughter, so I'll hold the umbrella for her.
She's my future daughter-in-law.
So I have the right to protect her.
What are you saying?
What do you mean by "future"?
Go, move aside.
You're sprinkling water on me.
Dad!
Minister!
If you two continue to play..
..I'll splash water on both of you!
Welcome! A big warm welcome!
Welcoming our three heroes in fighting against the hateful media!
A victorious return!
Although we didn't win..
..but I believe..
..that this Director Liang won't let us off easily.
That right.
That's why
we must continue to think of a ways to fight against him till the very end.
Yes, fight till the end! Never agree to settlement!
Meng Yuan,
what methods should we use to counteract him?
Obviously, we should use the news of Xiao Shi and He Qun's wedding to shut them up.
Once we release this news,
I bet this Director Liang won't be able to use He Qun and Xiao Shi.
as a gossip topic anymore.
Yes.
If this is the case, then let's begin.
Alright.
Qian Hui, didn't you prepare a lot of information about weddings?
Go and take them out quickly!
Okay, no problem!
Xiao Shi, congratulations!
The ugly duckling is going to turn to swan.
Qian Hui!
I'll go prepare the stuff.
we first female relative election day
wait
well come
Grandpa picked the day
pick a day to
Election Day is better
No problem choose red, red thing
Also in July, August and more
You can do this
Well, on August 15
Do not friends July 15
Briefly
From now on the best is not to meet again
Please, you stay away from me
Turtle Girl
To the data to the
Data
Qianhui you really good
Prepare so much information
I look I see
I would also like to speak
Stop
I see my grandfather
listen to me
In fact, what I told the group
It also does not have to end the marriage stage.
Why is this so
Yes how like this.
Why?
Because I like him, what with
He never said he likes me ah
It now just waiting for the answer to any group
I ask you to help
Hello, He Qun?
Your Mom and I are at Smiling Pasta
together with Xiao Shi and her family
We´re discussing about your wedding
please tell Vincet
to announce the news of your wedding
That´ll show
Director Liang his place
I disagree
Why must we annouce our wedding out of the blue?
Then your rather E - news
publicize the photos of you and Rita
on the cover page tomorrow?
Then have them report that you haven´t ended your ties with Rita?
Or...do you really want to admit that
you´re really back together with Rita?
Dad, it´s impossible for me to be back with Rita
But
I don´ t want to annouce the news of our wedding
just to shut the media up
since you say it´s impossible for you and Rita to be back together
but you refuse accept this marriage proposal with Xiao Shi
then let me ask you
do you like fancy Xiao Shi in the first place?
Or are you simply using her?
No
I´m not using her
Dad
I really like Xiao Shi
You like Xiao Shi?
That´s wonderful
Then it´s perfectly logical to
annouce the news of your wedding
Dad
it´s precisely because I like Xiao Shi
and her family
that I don´ t want them to be hurt unnecessarily
because of me.
What nonsense are you talking about?
What kind of protection is this?
Dad
you know the media always
likes to use me as their gossip topics
If Xiao Shi continues to be with me
she´ll definitely be dragged
into many news stories
She´ll have to face many unnecessary critics
You ´re just trying to run away from this issue!
if you truly love a person
you should stay by her to protect her
You should not leave her
and claim that you have no responbilities over her
This hurts her more
Dad
you know things aren´t as simple as you say it is
please stop planning for this wedding
Vincent will not announce the news
You...
Fine, you´re not announcing it, right?
I´ll do it myself then!
Anyhow, your mom has said before
this daughter-in-law is ours for good
Fine, you´re not announcing it, right?
I´ll do it myself then!
Anyhow, your mom has said before
this daughter-in-law is ours for good
He Qun likes you
What kind of like is that?
No matter what kind of "like" is that
he will not be able to solve the problem by running away
Confronting it is the only solution
Then what you mean is...
The news about wedding will be announced
and preparations will also continue
But He Qun has already rejected the proposal!
I don´t think it is good idea
for us to continue
Yeah...
It will be embarrassing if the groom
doesn´t show up on the wedding day
Qian Hui
What Meng Yuan was trying to put across
is that
our darling actually likes Xiao Shi
but he
doesn´t have the courage to love
Why don´t we think of a way
to give him a little push?
Give him a little push.
help him
This is a great idea!
Xiao Shi
why don´t you give a public declaration of love?
What do you all think?
A public declaration of love?
Xiao Shi
since He Qun doesn´t have the guts you´ll have to take the initiative
But I´m a girl
Who says a girl can´t confess her feelings?
Yeah
Xiao Shi, you´re living in a new era
Girls need to stand on their own feet and
fight for their happiness, understand?
That´s right!
An opportunity is hard to come by, so if you miss this one,
you won´t know when the next one will come along
Qian Hui!
What if...
You´re afraid that it might fail?
Just treat it is a fall
You´ll be fine after stand up again
Just smile and there´s nothing you can´t overcome
Alright!
I´ll confess my feelings for He Qun tomorrow at school
It´ll be great
If I succeed
but if I fail
I´ll just treat it as another embarrasment
At least...
I´ll have tried!
Xiao Shi, we´ll cheer for you!
That´s right!
We´ll help you think of the way to confess
Hello?
Is it Director Liang from E-news?
I am He Meng Yuan
I have something to let you know
My future daughter-in-law, Cheng Xiao Shi
will...
Who´s your daughter-in-law?
She´s my daughter
Let me do it
Hello?
Director CK?
I am Cheng Gang
Xiao Shi´s father
Listen to me
You want the truth, right?
I´ll give you the truth
Listen up
Tomorrow at 2pm
Xiao Shi is going to give
a public
and formal
declaration of her love for He Qun at Ding Feng University
to show you
the true love story
between He Qun and Xiao Shi
I´m not done
You will surely be left...spechless!
Bye
Good one!
Xiao Shi
you´ll have to display you never dying Turtle spirit
which you had when you ran the marathon
Never give up and race to the finish line!
Turtle, Turtle is power!
Turtle is powerful!
Turtle, Turtle is power and strenght!
