Second Time is a Charm
Episode 46
Hello.
Hello. Hello.
Is that Lei?
Linsu,
how do know my phone number?
I worry about you.
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
Don't worry.
If the policemen come to record my confession tomorrow,
I'll tell them that I didn't see anything.
Lei,
you're so kind to me.
Linsu,
call me for something less in the future.
If I find you for something, I'll call you on my own.
Well, Lei,
my, my...
Linsu,
after some days,
we can be together forever.
Now I do so
for our future,
right?
Don't disregard everything.
Think it.
If we can't settle this thing,
we can't be together.
OK. For you,
I can tolerate everything.
I'll listen to you all the time.
Well,
go to stay away from the trouble in the suburbs now.
Then you try to apply for a bank card.
I'll transfer some money to you.
Let's keep in touch through text messages.
If I have something, I'll call you.
Don't worry.
Hello?
Lei, hello?
Linsu,
what did sister-in-law say?
Well, Linsu,
does sister-in-law give us up?
Cut the crap.
Your sister-in-law loves me.
She asked us
to stay away from the trouble
and apply for
a back card first.
Then she will transfer money to us.
Really?
Sister-in-law is really considerate.
Well, let's go.
Well, wait, wait a minute.
Linsu, what do you mean?
We three men will do nothing
and only depend on sister-in-law?
It's impossible.
After settling down,
we will start to work.
OK.
Do you still remember what I told you before?
Yes.
Do we start to do it now?
Well, Linsu, think it.
Here is Shanghai,
and monitors are everywhere.
Well, how about...
Why are you overcautious and indecisive as a man?
You're timid.
Well, Linsu, we should be cautious.
What if we will be caught?
Linsu. Linsu,
I'll do it with you.
OK.
But we still
need to stay away from the trouble first.
After some days,
we can start to do a big business.
Where do you keep the pocket money that your mom gave you?
If you tell me,
I won't beat you.
Where is she?
You brat, come out.
If I catch you,
I'll, I'll absolutely break your legs.
Wang Lei.
Linsu, what should I do?
Don't go back home today tonight.
Go to my house for sleep.
Go to your house again?
Yes.
Your parents...
Both of them have left.
They divorce
and thoroughly give up our family.
It's good.
After they leave,
only my grandma and I stay at home.
It's peace and quiet,
and I can also take you in.
Linsu.
Lei, don't be scared.
With me,
nobody can bully you.
If your dad beats you again,
I'll fight against him at any risk.
When can we leave this annoying place?
Don't worry.
Wherever we are,
I'll protect you.
I must leave this annoying place.
Your works
are the same in design as those you had
in your best part of life
before you graduated from university.
There's no change at all.
Ms. Qiu, it's unfair of you to say so.
I haven't created works seriously in six years.
It can be said to be my beginning now.
I mean that
if I'm given the same time,
I can also make breakthroughs.
Is your time
different from other people's time?
Do you want all the authors to stop to wait for you?
I like An An Goddess
for taking her time.
Inexplicably like "Pet Lovers".
I really want to go together after reading it.
Wait for its renewal.
Like An An Goddess so much.
We're all waiting for its renewal.
We will be back next month.
Will you come to pick us up?
Really want to see you soon.
We really miss you.
We look forward to seeing you.
Xu Lang, how are you?
It may be the last year
for your successive postgraduate and doctoral courses.
If you're busy at your courses,
don't go to pick us up.
We haven't returned to China for some years,
but we still remember the way home.
You can't be absent
from our family reunion dinner.
Your sister-in-law, niece and I
really want...
Don't say these disgusting words.
See you after returning to China.
We won't part anymore
in the future.
How could it be?
Where did the news start to spread?
The staff have all known it in our company.
Is the news reliable?
Yes, Mr. Hu.
How do people who take charge of the crisis public relations of our company
explain it?
They intend to frame Mr. Yu,
so they must
collude with other parties before.
Now those who take charge of crisis public relations in the group
play the fool,
and when we contact the media,
they all turned their back
and didn't help Mr. Yu at all.
Now the situation
is very clear, Mr. Hu.
Now I'm going to meet Mr. Yu.
I want to conceal this news from him.
Given his current physical condition,
he can't be irritated anymore.
Yu Desheng, the president of Yu's Group,
is exposed for possible long-term commercial fraud,
and Houde Fund, which supports new authors
and companies, repeatedly defaults.
Extraordinary Studio of Yu Feifan...
Come in.
...the only son of Yu Desheng
and famous CNF Association
are both involved in it.
Recently, Yu Desheng is seriously ill,
and the board of directors of Yu's Group holds an emergency meeting
for dealing with this problem
reasonably and properly.
Why are you anxious?
Uncle Yu,
given your current physical condition,
you shouldn't read such news.
I help you go back to have a rest.
Stop that.
Given my current physical condition, no need to worry about me.
Those directors of the group want to frame me?
Come on.
I don't worry about it at all.
I'm just hospitalized.
Then they do so.
Childish.
What do you want to ask me?
Uncle Yu,
is the news mentioned on TV just now true?
Are you involved in the commercial fraud
and Houde Fund is just a camouflage?
Fraud? Camouflage?
I've had enough money.
You should know
what I care most is in this world.
Yu's Group.
Yes.
Except it,
nothing is important to me.
But unexpectedly,
when I'm about to die,
Yu's Group
betrays me.
Uncle Yu,
now health is very important to you,
so, don't interfere in things happening outside.
I can't allow those directors of the group
to drive me away.
Yu Feifan
must take over Yu's Group,
but given my current physical condition...
Yongjun,
I can only depend on you.
Tell me what you want.
Stocks or cash?
Uncle Yu,
you really don't know me at all.
I
Want nothing.
So you won't help me?
No.
I'll try my best.
From childhood, I'm always
not good at expressing my feelings,
but I can tell you why.
First,
after my dad passed away,
my mom worked as your assistant,
but you sent me to the best university in Shanghai
and sent me abroad for further study.
Without you,
I don't make such achievements,
so I'm
very grateful to you.
Second,
my mom
is the most important to me,
but you're
the most important to my mom.
Third,
in Yu's Group,
we're in the same camp.
Even if I don't help you,
they will also exclude me,
so I would rather fight against them at all costs.
If I can't clear your name,
I will also come to a bad end.
It seems that
I underestimate you.
Compared with Feifan, you're more suitable to be a merchant.
Uncle Yu,
you don't underestimate me
but didn't spend any time
in caring about your family members,
because you only care Yu's Group.
Why do you say the same words
as Feifan said?
I behave much like your family member, right?
Well, Uncle Yu,
in fact, I want something.
I'll try my best
to help you turn the corner.
Then I'll take away my B&B,
because I'm
the founder of B&B.
I don't profit at your expense, right?
After you get better,
my mom and I will leave Shanghai.
Take good care of yourself.
Xu Lang.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Come over. Come over.
What's wrong?
Come over.
Does your mom move here?
Yes.
She is out.
She went to pick Guoguo up.
Well, just greet her when seeing her.
No need to avoid her deliberately.
I'm afraid.
You're afraid of nothing,
except my parents, right?
Therefore,
you should know how horrible your mom is.
Sorry.
My words were a little harsh just now.
Now you have always avoided her,
what will you do in the future?
In the future?
Yes, in the future.
What do you mean?
Will we have a future?
Just play the fool.
Keep playing the fool.
Don't leave.
Come over. Come over. Come over.
Leave after explaining it clearly.
Come on. Come over.
Let me whisper to you.
Some words are not suitable to be said out.
I want to know.
You want to know?
You really want to know?
Well, be close to me.
Ignore her.
OK.
Wait for me for a while.
You would better answer it.
Hello.
What's the matter?
Have you determined your image of the cosplay?
Now I'm making statistics
about the participants.
I've left a quota for you.
By then you can go with your Doudou,
Xu Lang and Xu Guo.
Shut up.
We're not of the same family.
I see.
Bye.
Have you decided?
What?
Now that you haven't decided, I'm leaving.
No.
Let me think. Let me think.
I've had an idea.
Go ahead.
But we three
need to make a decision about it.
Which three?
You, Guoguo and Doudou?
The members of your jury are really...
Powerful.
Make a decision before tonight.
Otherwise, I will quit.
How can you do so?
You should blame yourself for your dilatoriness.
You must be thirsty after school.
Yeah.
I'll extract the juice
from the banana
and lemon for you.
Don't leave. Don't leave.
Put a little lemon.
OK.
And then put canned peaches.
OK.
Only in this way can it taste good.
You're back.
Dad!
Guoguo, I have a piece of good news.
Aunt An An told me that
she wants to invite us to the cosplay party
of Comics Coffee Shop.
Do you want to go?
Will Yu Doudou also go?
Of course.
Wonderful!
I want to act as Cai Wenji.
Guoguo, you know Cai Wenji?
I heard from Yu Doudou that
it's a role of Arena of Valor.
He told me that he will act as Li Yuanfang.
You always acted as a little princess
in the kindergarten before.
Won't you act as a princess this year?
I want to act as Cai Wenji this year.
A beautiful young girl on the battlefield.
On the battlefield. On the battlefield.
She always mentions battlefield.
Her joy is the most important.
Well, don't expose yourself in the sun. Go in the house.
- OK. - Let's go.
Mrs. Xu.
Shen.
Cherry,
you must make statistics
about the non-signed authors
of "Daxi Comics" well this time.
We must prevent
such a thing of Extraordinary Comics from happening.
Otherwise, we will be very passive.
OK, Lawyer Lei.
All these are lessons learned.
We must ask our trainees
to learn from them.
No problem.
Well,
I still need to entrust a thing to you.
You must
be ready for the handover of copyright
between Daxi and CNF this time.
There are some major brands in the association,
so their legal specialists must be powerful.
By then we can't be frightened.
Just respond according to the current situation
and strive for the best interests for our authors.
Lawyer Lei,
Daxi called us this morning.
They told me that their authors
are not selected for CNF this year.
No-nobody?
Nobody. All of them failed.
Nobody is selected.
It seems impossible
for Daxi to catch up with Extraordinary Comics
in a short time.
Yeah.
Why do you look happy?
From another perspective,
we don't need to take charge of
the handover of copyright between Daxi and CNF,
so we will be relaxed.
You're right.
We will be relaxed.
Yes.
Yeah!
Cherry,
do you feel very tired recently?
Do you need a holiday?
How about I approving of
your six-month to one-year off?
No. It, it should be not enough.
How about this? You can ask a day off all the time.
No need. No need. No need.
Don't, don't worry.
No need. No need.
It's very easy for me to hire a substitute.
Believe me. Now there are many candidates.
It's too tiring, Lawyer Lei.
I can't do so.
Now I'm in good condition.
I'm joking.
Don't take it seriously.
It's a joke.
I go to do my things. Many things need to be done.
Go. Go. Go.
Cherry,
you should go this way for separation procedures.
Stop joking. I'm busy.
Junior Mr. Hu,
why are you so free
to come to our company today?
Lawyer Lei,
can you do me a favor for something?
OK.
I happen to be hungry.
Let's talk about it while dining.
OK, I'll invite you for it.
You're awesome, Mr. Hu.
This restaurant is located under our law firm,
but I didn't find it,
while you even
remember the menu of specialties that
it will serve every day.
You must come here with girls often.
Yuhao,
don't make fun of me, OK?
I take charge of the catering of Yu's Group,
so I'm very sensitive to
delicious food
and such distinctive restaurants.
It may be an occupational habit.
Well,
I especially
wanted to hire the chef of this restaurant
to work for our best five-star restaurant,
but as a result, he disagreed.
He firmly didn't want to open a branch.
I understand him.
He just wants his life to be simple, right?
Content is happiness.
You're right.
Content is happiness.
It's also good.
OK, let's make our talk simple, too.
What do you want me to do?
Don't be so straightforward.
I want to make you drunk
before talking with you about it.
Then you will probably help me.
Even if you don't tell me, I also know it.
You must come to meet me for the thing of Yu Desheng.
Lawyer Lei,
can your law firm
take on this case?
Given my understanding of Yu Desheng,
he cares Yu's Group most.
He has had enough money,
but those old directors of Yu's Group
want to force him to give up the post of president,
so I think maybe they won't sue him.
What's more, I learn that Mr. Yu won't absolutely
give up the post of president
by indirectly sounding him out,
so I worry that
these old directors will hurt him at all costs.
Are you sure that Yu Desheng
didn't do such things?
I'm not sure,
but I believe him very much.
OK.
But you should know that
our law firm
mainly engages in the business of copyright,
and Xu Lang once worked as Yu Feifan's lawyer.
If our law firm takes on this case,
we will feel embarrassed,
but it doesn't matter.
I can recommend a lawyer that
I knew in Germany to you.
He is also a Chinese man.
Now he is the partner of Dentons
who specially engages in the commercial business.
Now I send it to you.
Thank you very much, Lawyer Lei.
Good.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm curious.
Why don't you ask Shen Yilin for help?
Shen Yilin is more familiar than us
in business.
No need.
She is busy enough recently,
so I don't want to bother her with this thing,
and she didn't
have a cordial working relationship
with Yu's Group, either.
Mr. Hu, it turns out that
you're so scrupulous as a young man.
You still don't know many things of me.
Come on.
- Come on. I'll drink it off. - Suit yourself.
What, what's wrong, Mrs. Xu?
Why do you always look at me?
Is there any vegetable leaf on my face?
No. No.
I'm just happy.
I'm really happy.
The more I look at you, the more I'll like you.
Well,
you're beautiful,
tall and well-educated.
You're also good at earning money,
but you still can trim vegetables for cooking.
Mrs. Xu,
this is what I should do.
What's more, I had done housework at home when I was six years old.
My mom brought me up alone.
It was not easy for her
to look after me while being busy at her work,
so I was not so lucky
to avoid the housework.
Alone?
In my childhood,
my parents had divorced.
My dad had his own family
and children.
We all lived in Shanghai,
but we didn't contact him at all.
No wonder you're so sensible.
Stop talking, Mrs. Xu.
Don't praise me anymore.
Otherwise, I'll be proud.
You can be proud.
You should be proud of it.
I'll tell it to all my friends
and ask them to be proud of you.
You're quite a good girl.
If Xu Lang doesn't cherish you,
he is really a fool.
Xu Lang has his own ideas.
He can have his own ideas,
but if his ideas are wrong,
I should correct them
as his mom.
Don't you believe me?
I'm going to call him.
Mrs. Xu,
we can't force him to do anything.
Well,
as soon as Xu Lang saw me just now,
he went to An An's house.
As an adult,
he knows what he wants
and is doing, right?
I apologize to you for Xu Lang.
I really just invited you
to dine and chat with
Xu Lang and Xu Guo
to promote your relationship,
but he was insensible
and left first.
Don't be angry, Mrs. Xu.
Forget it.
Well, I'm your guest
but not Xu Lang's.
I just come to
dine with you, right?
Let me trim vegetables quickly.
Won't you really dine with Mrs. Xu and Shen Yilin?
After all, Shen Yilin personally comes to visit you.
Is really good to do so?
Now that they made an appointment, they can only dine alone.
It's really horrible to offend you.
So, now I go to dine with them?
You can't.
My mom bought these.
Something to eat.
Medicines.
She bought too many things,
so I bring half of them for Doudou.
You're so good at dealing with such things.
Because I care about you.
I feel a little embarrassed after saying so.
What are you doing?
Come to eat fruits.
You should be blamed for it.
What are you doing? You're mysterious.
What's your choice?
Have you decided?
Don't laugh. Tell us.
Laugh later. Laugh later.
Share it with us.
Which one do you choose?
Xiaoqiao.
Well, who do you want me to act as?
Why do you also laugh?
Now that you've decided, tell me now, OK?
Who on earth will I act as?
Stop that.
Don't laugh. Tell me who I will act as.
I'll act as Cai Wenji.
I'll act as Li Yuanfang.
I can't tell you.
Well, can you tell me?
Don't laugh, OK?
Tell me who on earth I'll act as now.
We all think that
you and the role that
we choose for you are...
Alike in spirit.
It's very suitable for you.
After hearing your words,
I'm a little interested in it.
Tell me. Who will I act as?
Tell me.
Can you stop laughing?
You're troublesome. Can you stop...
OK, let me tell you. Let me tell you.
It's embarrassing.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you.
I can't.
Why?
Of course I can't. Look at me.
But you've promised me.
Although I promised you...
You've promised me.
Even if I've promised you, I still can't do it.
You can't go back on your word.
But I really can't do it.
I can't. I can't.
Xu Lang.
What do you want to do, An An?
Do you want to go back on your word before kids?
Guoguo, you haven't taken medicines today, right?
Now that you have made an appointment with me, you must take medicines on time.
Let me mix it with water for you now.
Don't change our topic.
Dad,
if you promise us,
I'll take medicines tamely.
OK. OK. OK.
Hurry up. Choose clothes.
Come over.
She has several pieces of clothes.
Which one should we choose?
If it will be late, give it up.
If it will be late, give it up, OK?
No, I won't put it on.
The shopkeepers of these clothes shops
are all my old friends.
No. No. No.
It's too revealing.
Choose this.
No.
Choose this.
We must choose this.
No. It's too short. It's too short.
Buy it.
Choose this.
Buy this. It's, it's long.
It smells so good.
I'm going to ask them back.
Mrs. Xu,
I had told you that we can't force him.
If now we force Xu Lang,
it'll only backfire.
I know Xu Lang, and you know Xu Lang better than me,
right?
I know
you want Xu Lang to be with me,
but we can't
be anxious now, right?
You're right.
What's more,
An An may not be
the biggest obstacle between Xu Lang and me.
So, so,
what else it is?
Mrs. Xu,
I've learnt the truth about the car accident happened five years ago.
How,
how do you know it?
In the wedding of the daughter of our old professor,
Xu Lang told Mrs. Fan,
and I heard some of his words.
I know he was injured badly in that car accident.
Shen, thank you.
Thank me?
Yeah.
The words "car accident"
are a taboo
in our family
and before Xu Lang.
If you don't personally tell me that
Xu Lang mentioned this car accident
to someone else,
I dare not believe it.
Mrs. Xu, sorry.
Don't, don't be excited.
I shouldn't mention this thing.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
So many years pass.
I really didn't expect that
he could tell it to someone else,
so I need to thank you.
Well, Mrs. Xu,
you mean,
now Xu Lang is trying to
forget this thing,
so he is willing to mention it, right?
All these years,
Xu Lang
still retains those things kept by Xu Guo's mom.
He doesn't want to throw them away,
show them to others
and allow others to touch them.
Once someone touches them, he will be angry.
His dad and I
found various ways
to try to help him
get rid of the shadow in these five years,
but we failed.
We had tried all ways.
It seems that
Xu Lang loves Xu Guo's mom very much.
In fact, if An An is my rival in love,
I'm still a little confident.
After all, Xu Lang is my university schoolmate,
so many things may happen to us,
but if
Xu Guo's mom is my rival in love,
I must fail.
Shen, don't,
don't misunderstand my words.
I didn't mean that.
Well, what do you mean, Mrs. Xu?
Well,
well...
Mrs. Xu,
I went to the UK after graduation.
I left without saying goodbye to Xu Lang,
so he must be very sad.
During this period, he knew Xu Guo's mom
and built a family of three.
Then such a thing happened to them.
He must be very guilty,
so I won't be jealousy of
Xu Guo's mom for her status in his heart.
How to...
Shen,
believe me.
During the university,
Xu Lang didn't come back with you,
and, and we didn't meet each other,
but Xu Lang loved you wholeheartedly
back then.
I know my son.
He is always faithful
to those people and things that
he firmly believes.
An An is,
is just an accident,
so you don't need to think much.
Xu Guo's mom
won't be the obstacle between you.
Stop talking, Mrs. Xu.
Don't be excited.
Let's enjoy the food.
OK. OK.
Here you are.
I can do it myself. I can do it myself.
I should do it for you.
Don't stand on ceremony.
Well, eat a piece of rib.
Otherwise, it's cool.
OK. Thank you.
Come on. Taste it. Taste it.
Are you OK, Mrs. Xu?
I'm fine. I'm really useless.
Let, let me clean it for you.
Otherwise, a stain will be left on it.
It doesn't matter. Go.
I...
Be slow. Be slow.
I'm useless.
Mrs. Xu,
have you cleaned it?
Yes.
Enjoy them now. Enjoy them now.
- They're cool. - OK. OK.
Do you hear of the thing of my uncle?
Yes.
I hear that now he is seriously ill.
Should I go to visit him?
No.
Now my uncle is always angry with those who go to visit him.
He thinks that people all
fight against him in the world.
After all, I was his daughter-in-law for six years.
To be honest,
I think I should go to visit him.
You didn't learn anything good from Yu Feifan
but behave like a good man like him.
Don't you know my uncle?
He doesn't want you to visit him at all
and is loath to
meet you.
Your cocktail.
An An,
what do you want,
alcoholic or nonalcoholic one?
I want nothing.
I still need to draw comics tonight.
Why don't you have a date
on such a nice night?
Have a date?
Who should I date?
Don't treat me as fools.
People all know that
you have been with Xu Lang in the world.
We have a group.
Group? What group?
Cat & Dog CP Binge-watching Group.
Cat & Dog?
You engage in public relations.
Can't you give it a good name?
Cat & Dog CP?
It's quite good.
It's simple, rough and easy to understand.
What's more, it's easy to be remembered.
Cat & Dog CP. Cat & Dog CP. Cat & Dog CP.
It's very catchy.
Lei Yuhao.
Cherry.
Qiu Tian.
Susan.
Uncle Liang?
Its members are still being increased.
Is it interesting?
Very interesting.
You're really free.
But I wonder
what you talk about in this group at ordinary times.
Whoever knows the latest news about you,
he will share it in this group.
Most of them come from Lei Yuhao.
What's more, after being with you,
Xu Lang doesn't conceal this thing from others at all.
He always goes to ask Lei Yuhao
about the food you liked in childhood
and the like.
Oh.
You look happy.
Where is Xu Lang?
He is accompanying Guoguo and Doudou at home.
He asked me to come out for creation at ease.
It's really enviable.
You're so lucky.
We can't be compared with you.
A handsome man looks after your son for you at home,
and Muse mixes drink for you here.
Your cocktail.
Well, we also make a bet in the group.
Make a bet? What did you bet on?
We bet when you...
Obscene.
How much is a bet?
Can I make a bet?
You?
Let her do it.
When do you think you will...
On the day of cos party.
I follow An An.
Are you a fool?
I beg that you won't do it on the day of cos party.
Don't curse me.
I've made full preparations for it.
I don't curse you.
I draw this conclusion after my serious analysis.
Think it. Xu Lang's mom has moved in.
Will she allow you
to spend the cos party happily?
I'm perturbed after hearing your words.
Sorry, our shop is closed.
Dawang?
Astronomers say that
the once-in-a-century super red moon
is about to appear tonight.
Welcome the general public to go to
the best viewing place for this marvelous spectacle to enjoy it.
Red moon?
Special seat for enjoying the moon.
Everyone is willing to make efforts
for their goals,
but only few people can stick to it to the end.
Just go back to enjoy it.
Wang Lei?
Give it up to me.
Both chilling winds
and fierce enemies
may be excuses for people to retreat,
so we can only move forward
after cutting off the retreat.
Get out of the way! Here belongs to me!
