Edge to Happiness
Episode 24
Su Man, calm down.
We can't just elope now.
Now Xiaoxiao
has left for He Mu.
If you elope with me,
who is going to look after your parents?
How sad they will be!
He is so determined
to separate us.
Am I not sad?
I didn't mean that.
You father wants the best of you.
Think about it.
You're his daughter.
You father does not think I am good enough.
He does not think I deserve you.
He hopes you can find
someone better than me.
If I elope
with you now,
I will leave him a worse impression.
I won't even have the chance to
change my impression in his mind.
What should we do then?
Don't be anxious. Listen to me.
OK, honey.
You're right.
I can't outspeak you.
It's like you were the only one who cares about our daughters.
It's like I didn't care about them.
What happens now?
Su Man has run away. So has Xiaoxiao.
As long as their boyfriend
is a little good to them,
they just run.
Look.
You and I used to be the same.
We were both orphans.
But your parents took you home
from the orphanage
when you were a kid.
They have taken you
as their own.
In order not to burden you with this,
they even tried to
keep it from you.
They have done a lot for you.
They have treated you even better
than their own daughter.
If I were the same
as you
and had parents
who were willing to adopt me,
I would never
ever abandon my family.
Look now. There are
only the two of us in the family now.
Great. Happy now?
What are you talking about?
Is there any parent
who does not want their sons
and daughters to live happily?
Isn't it good that our daughters
marry good men
and live happily?
Do you have to keep them at home?
Su Man, if I can
marry you,
I hope your dad will
willingly entrust you
to me himself.
I don't wanna marry you
by eloping with you.
They'll never bless us.
But I just had a row
with my dad.
How can I face them now?
Take it easy.
Let's go home now,
face them together
and apologize to your father.
But...
Don't worry.
No matter how he'll frustrate me,
I'll never give up.
I'll hold on
until he approves of me.
You're right.
Our daughters have grown up
and they'll leave home like spilled water.
Originally I wanted
her to marry a man
who's well educated.
In this way,
I may have
a slim chance.
What chance?
It can't be helped already.
What's the use talking about that?
-Dad. -Uncle.
-Mom. -Qiao Bu.
You have turned our daughter
against us.
How dare you come here?
Uncle, Su Man and I are here
to apologize to you.
You don't have to apologize
or explain.
What you need to do
is getting lost right now.
From now on,
you're not welcome at our house.
-Dad! -Su Man!
Uncle,
I know you care for Su Man
and don't want her to leave home.
Su Man and I were both orphans
but I wasn't as lucky as her.
She was taken
home by you
and raised like your own daughter.
I've known Su Man since I was a kid.
What I envy most
is that she has such a
warm home.
I've been thinking...
I've been thinking that
If I have
a dad and a mom
like you,
I'm willing to
do anything.
I know I'm not good enough
but I can try hard to change myself.
If you think
I'm not educated enough,
I can go to night school
and cram school.
Of course,
I'll also pursue
my own career
to give Su Man
a warm home.
Uncle, I hope
you can approve of me
living with you after we get married.
Su Man,
this is a meticulously
tailored ring for you.
Today with the
presence of your parents,
I want to propose to you.
Su Man,
I know I don't have a degree
or a good background.
But no one can
compare with my love for you.
If you need someone to listen to you,
I'll be your lackey.
If you need someone to talk to,
I'll be your tree hole.
If you need someone to vent your anger on,
I'll be your punch bag.
You're the most important person
in my life.
Actually,
I've wanted to
marry you more than ten years ago.
Over the years,
I have hardly spent money on
buying clothes for myself
or having fun.
I even made two meals of
a packet of instant noodles.
My purpose is to
save all my money
to marry you
and give you a steady home.
So the money
you gave me to start a business
was originally
intended for our marriage?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
As long as you need it,
my money can all be yours.
Su Man,
I'll love you all my life.
Will you marry me?
Yes, I do.
I mean
I do approve of Su Man marrying you.
Although
my dad has accepted you,
you mustn't be complacent.
Go to my home when you're free,
chat with my dad
and help my mom with the housework.
Gradually,
my dad will get used to it
and accept you
as his son-in-law.
Yes, I've got your instructions.
I'll go to your home
as long as I'm free.
You've been resolutely objecting to it.
Why did you suddenly agree?
I always wanted
a well educated son-in-law
because
I hoped he could
understand us
not wanting our daughter
to leave home.
It'd be best if we could persuade him into living with us.
I didn't expect
Qiao Bu
would volunteer to do that.
Of course I gotta agree immediately.
That's what you were thinking?
Yes.
Honey,
Su Man is different from Xiaoxiao.
She had been an orphan since she is a child.
What I worry most is that
she'll be bullied by her husband
after she gets married.
If she lives with us
and her husband dares to bully her,
I can teach him a lesson, can't I?
If she's too far away from us,
I'll keep worrying.
You can relax now.
Our elder daughter
has been engaged.
Now I wonder
if Xiaoxiao has made progress
in pursuit of love.
How does it taste?
You didn't answer me.
I'll taste it, too.
You know how to taste red wine?
How come I don't know?
Pour the wine into a glass,
shake it gently,
taste it
and see if it's sour.
You think it's juice and you need to
shake it before you drink it?
How should I drink it, then?
Well,
if I answer you in a professional way,
I'm afraid stupid women
like you
won't get it.
Women
always long for marriage.
So I'll compare
wine tasting to proposals.
You copied me.
How come?
What you always
talk about is love.
I'm gonna talk about proposals.
What are their similarities?
Do you wanna listen to it or not?
Yes. Yes.
Listen carefully, then.
Tasting wine is like proposing.
The first and the most decisive step
of a proposal
is reading your love.
Know yourself as well as the enemy,
you will always be the winner.
If you
propose at the wrong time,
you're sure to fail.
The same is true of tasting wine.
Before you drink,
you must observe its color.
If the wine
is dark red
with light brown periphery,
it's definitely good wine.
That seems to make sense.
Can you not interrupt?
Okay, go on.
The second step
is to smell the fragrance
of the red wine.
The most fierce opponent of a woman
is her future mother-in-law
and the biggest love rival of a man
is his future father-in-law.
Therefore, you must smell and pick
to figure out the habits of your
future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
This is the prerequisite of a proposal.
Otherwise, however brazenly
you fasten on and beg them,
you'll be driven out of their houses.
It also goes for wine tasting.
Before you drink a glass of wine,
you must smell it and pick correctly.
Good wine
has a strong smell
and makes people feel its charm.
The third step is the confession.
As you know,
there are many kinds of confession.
But actually none of them
compare with your carefulness.
The same goes for wine tasting.
When you're
tasting wine,
you must carefully
observe every detail.
To begin with,
you'll let the liquid
moisten the surface of your tongue.
Next you'll feel its sweetness
with the tip of your tongue,
its sourness
with the periphery of your tongue
and its bitterness
with the rear of your tongue.
And then,
you'll let the liquid
slowly flow on the
surface of your tongue.
A few seconds later,
you'll carefully enjoy
the astringency and the aftertaste
left on the surface
of your tongue.
Likewise, if you pay attention
to every detail,
you can certainly move your lover.
This is how you can smoothly
walk down the aisle
and identify good wine.
Do you know what I mean?
A little.
A little? Taste it, then.
You are not tasting wine,
you drank like a cow.
A gulp proves deep affection.
How did this
gulp taste, then?
At first it was a bit sour
and then a bit sweet.
Not it's hot.
Why do I feel
you were still drinking juice?
Juice isn't that sour.
Taste it if you don't believe me.
It's smooth
but too bitter.
The aftertaste is too weak.
On the whole,
the average degree is not good enough.
It's a little bit thin.
The acidity is too weak and the aftertaste isn't enough.
You've got it all now?
I just rephrased
what you said just now.
Taste it again.

I seem to have a feeling.

Close your eyes

No.
You'll scare me
with a worm again.
Women close their eyes
to let men kiss them.
Close your eyes.

Su Man's dad finally approved of
her being with me.
Thanks to you, Ma Da.
When Su Man and I have a child,
you'll definitely be his or her godfather.
I don't understand.
What do you mean?
I don't understand
why you look so ugly
but you're getting married,
I'm so handsome
but Xie Ziqi
refused my proposal.
I have clearly
conquered her
and this is correct
from every angle.
Why did she still
tactfully refuse?
Tactfully? How tactfully?
She said,
"Ma Da,
I know you are particularly nice to me.
You're a kind man.
It'll be great
if I marry you.
But my company went bankrupt.
I must struggle for my career
and get back on track.
Ma Da, give me a little more time.
I'll think it over."
This is how it happened?
Exactly.
She just refused
my genuine confession
cruelly.
Why is that?
I understand.
What do you mean?
I understand why Xie Ziqi
didn't agree to your proposal.
Tell me now.
Because you didn't get the nod from your future father-in-law.
-My future father-in-law? -Yep.
You taught me this.
The biggest love rival of a man
is his future father-in-law.
As long as you get the nod from him,
you can fix every problem.
I am the best example
to support that.
Now my future father-in-law has approved
of me and Su Man's marriage.
Everything will go on unimpeded.
So you should do the same as me
and get the nod from Xie Ziqi's dad first.
Naturally,
Xie Ziqi will agree
to be with you.
Qiao Bu, I didn't expect
your IQ would be so high
when you were in a relationship.
Alright, I'll go and get the nod
from my future father-in-law.
Why are you so happy today?
With your company,
I'm happy every day.
Get on.
I must think of a way
to find out
where Xie Ziqi's father is.
How's work going?
Is it going smoothly?
Are you making progress?
It's going quite smoothly.
But you know,
I started from the grass root.
I still need some time
to make progress.
It's okay.
Take your time.
It's like dating someone.
I also need some time
to enter deeply
into your heart.
You can take your time to consider
and I'll wait patiently.
By the way,
it's believed that humans are shaped by the environment around them.
I wonder what kind of place
beautiful ladies like you
were brought up in.
It must be a place
of scenic beauty.
Penglai.
Penglai? Isn't that
where the eight immortals crossed the sea?
I hear Penglai Pavilion is the fairyland on earth.
No wonder
extraordinary goddesses
like you can be brought up there.
Are the three fairy mountains
where Emperor Qin looked for immortals still there?
Can we go there by boat
and make immortals of ourselves now?
You thought too much.
The eight immortals crossing the sea
and the three fairy mountains
are just legends.
But I often went to
Penglai Pavilion when I was a child.
If I was lucky,
I would see mirages.
You can really see mirages there?
Is it the same as
naked eye 3D effect?
That's exaggerated.
But you'll be astonished
when you see several blurry buildings
in front of you.
Then I must get a chance
to go there.
By the way, are Penglai people
especially capable?
-Capable? -Yes.
Otherwise, why are you so capable?
Are they related?
Of course they are.
Our character is affected by environment.
You're so capable and resolute.
You must have been
affected by Penglai people.
Maybe it's family education.
Family education.
In that case,
tell me about your dad.
I wonder how
he built your character.
I don't wanna talk about him.
Okay, forget it.
Hey, Qiao Bu.
Stop what you're doing now
and help me search for
the information and location
of Xie Ziqi's dad.
Hello.
Hello, Domestic Agency.
What can I do for you?
I need an hourly worker.
Okay, wait a second, please.
We'll arrange for one
as quickly as possible
and call you
after we confirm it.
Thank you.
Dad, Mom,
I'll go to the chateau now
and do everything in my power
to resolve
the dispute between me and He Mu.
Mom, take good care of dad, please.
I'll get someone to share in the housework.
Take care.
It's almost the time to test
the new types of wine I made.
We'll see if its taste is
out of the ordinary.
If it's not
out of the ordinary,
we'll have to start over.
Don't worry.
We added
something special
into every type of wine.
If they can
integrate together
instead of keeping their edge,
we'll succeed then, won't we?
That being said,
we have tasted
a few dozen buckets of wine
and none were out of the ordinary.
Looks like it's hard to
convert my ability to taste wine
into making wine.
How was it?
How was it, anyway?
Say something.
Still not okay.
How could we be so unlucky?
We've expended all our efforts
but it's still not okay.
I wanna cry.
We did it.
What?
We did it.
He Mu, you liar.
Stop there.
Ma Da, this is his address.
=Haiyunyuan, Haishi Road, Penglai.=
Her dad is a veteran.
Veteran?
No wonder
Xie Ziqi has such a strong character.
He must have trained her.
I'm afraid it's hard to
handle such a future father-in-law.
It's so difficult for me to get along with
my future father-in-law who is a teacher.
Yours was a serviceman.
How are you gonna persuade him?
Shut up.
Are we the same?
How come we're not?
We're both orphans
who don't have a degree.
At any rate,
I'm a handsome orphan.
When Xie Ziqi's dad sees me,
he's sure to
be conquered by my handsome face
and beg me to be his son-in-law.
Stop talking nonsense.
However hard it is
for me
I'll go all out and charge.
I'm leaving. Bye.
He Han.
What are you here for?
Haven't you damaged
the He's Group
enough?
I warn you.
This is the last chance
of the He's Group.
Don't scheme anything again.
I'm not scheming anything.
I don't wanna hear anything you say.
Leave here right now. Get lost!
Listen to me.
Stop hitting him.
Stop it. Stop it.
Stop hitting him.
He deserves it.
I warn you.
Leave here right now
or I'll hit you
every time I see you.
He Mu,
you were too impulsive just now.
You hit him
before he said anything.
What did he wanna say?
Don't you know
what he did?
How did the He's Group
get into such a situation?
How was Perfect Public Relation Company
closed down?
He should be blamed
for everything.
But now that he was here,
you should have given him
a chance to say something.
Give him a chance?
Who will give me a chance, then?
Hasn't he damaged
the He's Group enough?
My dad was so mad that
he fell seriously ill.
In order to help him,
my mom lost
all of the Song Family's assets.
Who can give me
a chance to retrieve everything?
Anyway,
you have ties of kindred with him.
Ties of kindred?
What ties of kindred?
He's just a bastard.
He Mu, you've really
gone too far.
He's your family,
how could you say that?
He wanted to take revenge
because he thought he was hurt
by things among the last generation.
What you ought to do
is to dissolve the hatred
instead of going on with it.
After hearing what you said,
why do I feel
the He Family
should say sorry to him?
How did my dad and mom treat him?
They treated him even better than me.
What's the result?
He was keen to ruin the He Family.
It was him who hated us.
Say nothing else.
I won't forgive him.
He Mu is too furious now.
Why don't you leave first?
You can come again
when he's calmer
in a couple of days.
I won't leave.
He Mu, come to the cellar.
He Han is crazy.
He damaged all of the wine.
I don't understand.
Why did Su Xiaoxiao
trick me into
coming here
for such an ungrateful man?
What lies did
you tell to cheat her?
I have accumulated
a lot of hatred over the years.
I thought I was hurt badly
but actually I was wrong.
I wanted to take revenge
because of this misconception.
I didn't scruple to betray everyone
and make use of everyone
for my ends.
But it turned out that
who I hurt
were those who loved
and supported me the most.
When I realized everything,
it was too late already.
But I can't give up.
I must correct my mistakes
and get back predominance
of the He's Group.
Therefore, I'm here.
No matter how much
He Mu hates me
and how hard he'll hit me,
I'll never give up.
It's all my fault.
I hope you can forgive me.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't say sorry to me
but to yourself.
You were so outstanding before.
You could do everything
so perfectly.
I was proud that
I had such a brother.
But what happened later?
In order to take revenge,
you became so vicious
and devious.
It was hatred that
ruined your perfect image
in everyone's mind.
I admit all my mistakes.
I had always twisted your kindness
with my vengeful eyes.
In order to take revenge,
I had never considered you
as my brother.
I had been making use of you.
From now on,
whether you still think of me
as your brother or not
and forgive me or not,
I'll regard you
as my own brother.
I hope you can
give me a chance
to make amends to you.
If you're still angry with me,
come over and hit me
until you cool down.
This punch
is for the He's Group.
This one
is for my mom.
This
is for Xie Ziqi.
Brother, we're still brothers.
Just now He Mu
hit you too hard.
Does it still hurt?
As long as I can
resolve our dispute,
these minor injuries are nothing.
By the way, I need to thank you.
No, you needn't.
Previously there was a
misunderstanding between you
because of me.
I'm glad that
you cleared it up.
I caused you
so much trouble before.
I'm sorry.
Let bygones be bygones.
Actually, you chased me before
because you thought that
compared with the other women at workplace,
I was the kind of person
who was simple and brainless
and you would feel secure
if you dated me.
You weren't really into me
or needed me.
Yes.
Your purity
made me feel warm.
When I was with you,
I didn't need to be on my guard.
But it wasn't love.
Real affections
are sincere fondness
from the bottom of your heart
but not psychological dependence.
So you know what?
I'm really glad that
you and He Mu are together.
I wish you happiness.
Thanks.
He Han, one day
you'll find that
the most suitable person for you
is actually around you
after you spend a long time looking for her.
So you don't have to change yourself
to force yourself into a relationship.
As long as you pay attention to things around you,
you'll find that
happiness is simple.
Why did you suddenly
buy so many snacks for me?
Because I want you
to be plump
and then
no one will try to steal you from me.
For the next few days
I'll be on business trip
and thus can't be your driver.
You must take care of yourself
and eat your meals on time.
Although you are not beautiful enough,
you're still not safe when it's dark.
Many rogues are not picky now.
Therefore,
you must go home quickly after you knock off
and have a good rest.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of myself.
Go to do your work.
Since you're tired,
have a rest. I'm leaving.
Bye-bye.
I'm leaving.
I'm really leaving.
How could you be so unromantic?
Can't you give me a bonus?
What bonus?
Previously,
He Mu cheek kissed you.
I want to do it, too.
I won't do anything beyond that.
-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.
See you.
If I keep riding,
it's definitely gonna wear out my butt.
Excuse me, sir,
do you know a man
whose name is Xie Guangtao
and where he lives?
Why are you looking for him?
I'm his daughter's boyfriend
and I wanna discuss our marriage with him.
If you know,
could you tell me, please?
I'm Xie Guangtao.
How could you possibly be my daughter's boyfriend?
Glib guys like you
won't catch her fancy.
You're just a little con man.
Uncle, you don't believe me?
Okay, I will
prove it now.
Your daughter once studied
in America
and she changed her major
without your permission.
You found a job for her
but she didn't accept it
and even argued with you.
She said
she had her own dreams and aspirations
and she was leaving
whether you agreed or not.
Aren't I right?
You're right
but do I need to agree to
my daughter's marriage?
Of course you do.
Daughters are their fathers'
lovers in their previous lives.
So they have to
repay them with love.
When your daughter is getting married,
of course she'll need your support.
Even if there is
misunderstanding between you,
she's still your family.
Has she treated me as her family?
She willfully ran away
from home for a man
and hasn't contacted me for years.
I don't even know
how she's doing now.
You're her father.
She didn't contact you
but couldn't you contact her?
You can't be too proud
to apologize to her
because you're her elder.
Besides,
you were once young.
Young people
will all be stubborn.
Everyone will lose control
because of willfulness.
These are
courses we must take in our youth.
Given your age,
if you hadn't realized these things,
you would have lived for nothing.
I didn't live for nothing.
I brought up a daughter for nothing!
Please don't say goodbye with a hug.
In the season when we ran barefoot, our relationship was over.
I once believed you and I would walk towards the miracle,
but tears have changed the taste.
We got acquainted, fell in love, but broke up after a kiss.
The rain that stops in my heart is as icy as bullet.
I'm trying to get those blue days back,
but the ticket stub shows a different direction.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
Can anyone stop the time?
Who can rekindle love when it freezes?
You don't have to hide the scars between your brows.
After being in deep love, we decide to let go.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
People who had been in love know how to be strong.
Who can get back the arrow that has been shot?
You can't hide it, but to hold it back after turning around.
After letting go, the world turns white.
We don't need anyone to comfort us.
