So, the real reason Frosty Moon was cancelled
and Lu Di was blacklisted
is all because of you?
He was blacklisted?
I didn't know about that.
He hit on my woman. Of course he had to pay.
Besides this, is there anything else you're hiding from me?
Nope.
If reporters get a photo of us, we'll be in the gossip column again.
I saw Chu Yan
and your girlfriend walk into a hotel room.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 11
Director Ling, your wife had quite a shock.
She fainted because of her anemia.
But her anemia hasn't occurred for a while.
It could be due to stress,
so she must get a lot of rest.
Thank you.
Mumu.
What should I do?
Good morning, Mrs. Ling.
Where is Ling Yizhou?
Mr. Ling has already left for work.
He wants you to get some rest.
Mrs. Ling, did you two have a fight?
No, we didn't. Ms. Huang, I'm heading out.
-But, Mrs. Ling, there's... -There's what?
Our company revenue this quarter has increased by 3% compared to last quarter,
with 62% coming from real estate.
As for electronic products, net profit has decreased slightly.
After a series of adjustments, we have minimized its impact.
Mr. Ling, your phone is ringing.
Hello?
Ling Yizhou, you are detaining me illegally!
Mumu.
Let's talk when I get home. Get some rest.
You have no right to confine me.
If you don't want to see me, I can stay at a hotel.
I want to leave this house!
Immediately! Now!
Not right now.
What just happened?
Could it be our almighty future Mrs. Ling?
We're screwed. They must be fighting. Boss seems to be in a bad mood today.
What can we do to prevent further harm?
We'll be on orange alert until further notice.
Turn off your phones during meetings.
Five points will be deducted from your performance assessment.
No leave for three months.
Noted.
Meeting dismissed.
Mrs. Ling, what are you doing?
Mr. Ling just wants you to get some rest at home.
That doesn't mean he can lock me up.
Where is my marriage certificate? I'm sure I left it here.
He must have taken it with him.
Mrs. Ling, why are you looking for your marriage certificate?
Do you know where he keeps his documents?
Mrs. Ling,
why don't you have breakfast first?
You think you can keep me locked up forever?
We'll see about that.
Ms. Huang.
What is it, Mrs. Ling?
I think I'm not feeling well.
101.7 degrees Fahrenheit?
Mrs. Ling, why do you suddenly have a fever?
Ms. Huang, I feel terrible.
Can you take me to the hospital?
But, Mr. Ling said...
What if I die here? Would he like that?
-But he said-- -Ms. Huang.
Sir.
Call Dr. Wang and have him come.
Yes, sir.
No need for that.
Mumu...
Why do you want our marriage certificate?
Besides buying a house and having children,
what else can I do with it?
I was wrong. Can you forgive me?
It's not about right or wrong.
Ling Yizhou, you love being in control.
Even in love, you try to set people up.
I was just trying to protect you.
You're being overprotective.
I can barely breathe.
What do you want me to do?
Get rid of the two guards.
Or else I'll call the police.
Mumu. I won't let you leave me.
Let go of me.
Let go!
Never.
Hello? How can I help you, Mrs. Ling?
Can you pick me up at the Ling residence?
Right now?
Did you have a fight with Ling?
Are you coming or not?
You really had a fight with Ling?
That's rare! It's late.
Can you cut me some slack?
I have an early flight to catch tomorrow.
Fine. Go rest.
Hello? Are you OK?
Hello?
Sir, Mrs. Ling hasn't eaten anything today.
Got it.
It's day one of my hunger strike and I'm already starving.
What am I going to do tomorrow?
Mumu.
Ms. Huang told me you have no appetite.
Why aren't you eating?
There's nothing wrong with my appetite.
I'll starve myself if you don't let me out.
You can be mad at me, but don't mess with your health.
Go eat something.
Ling Yizhou, I'm not your pet.
I can survive without you taking care of me.
I won't let you go.
I don't want anything. Just my freedom.
If there's nothing else, then get out.
Come with me.
Let go of me.
What are you doing? Let me go!
Let go.
Let go of me. What do you think you're doing?
Ms. Huang, warm up the food.
What are you doing?
Mumu, you must eat something.
I won't.
Don't damage your health just because you're mad at me.
Fine, I'll eat.
-Under one condition. -Say it.
I don't want to see you.
Fine, I'll go stay at a hotel tomorrow.
-I'll come back when you feel better. -Leave now.
OK. I'll go back to my room.
You need to come over right now.
The two of them are fighting.
Help! Director Ling's door is locked. It can't be opened.
Hurry! Some help, please.
Mumu, open the door.
Is anyone here?
-What's going on, Mrs. Ling? -The door lock is broken. Look.
Is someone out there?
Unlock my door at once.
Hold on, sir. I'll go get Ms. Huang.
-Ms. Huang, bring us the spare key. Hurry! -Mumu.
Coming!
Mumu, unlock the door.
What's going on?
-Hurry up! -The door's locked?
-Where is she? -Downstairs.
Mumu!
Stop right there.
Grandma, why are you here?
If Ms. Huang didn't call me,
I wouldn't have known that the house is in chaos.
Can't you sit down and talk it out?
Mumu, are you alright?
Mumu.
Did he bully you?
You can tell me.
I'll make things right.
Mumu, Grandma told me you only brought up divorce in a moment of anger.
You just want to be left alone. Is that true?
Does it matter if it's true or not now?
I was wrong. Please don't leave me.
You were wrong?
Do you really know what you did wrong?
If you knew, you wouldn't have locked me up.
I never thought about getting a divorce at first.
I just wanted some time to think about our relationship.
I never thought you would lock me up.
You've never treated me as an independent individual.
You just want to satisfy your sense of possession and manipulation.
Mumu.
Didn't you want to know about the first time we met?
It was two years ago on our birthday.
Welcome, sir.
-I would like a birthday cake. -No problem, sir.
You get a "buy one, get one free" discount with your membership.
I'll pass.
Sorry, sir.
Our card machine is broken. We can't accept card payments.
Then forget about it.
Sorry about that.
Use my membership card then.
Today is my birthday, too.
I can buy one and get one free.
Just count it as my treat.
OK, thank you.
No worries. I can't eat that much cake anyway.
I'll give the other one to you. Happy Birthday.
Two cakes, please.
No problem.
XIA LIN
So your name is Xia Lin.
So the store you took me to
on our last birthday...
That was where we first met.
I don't remember it at all.
Because that was an unintentional act of kindness.
Perhaps it didn't mean anything to you...
but on that day...
I was touched by your warm gesture.
Just because of one cake, you started noticing me?
Half a year later, we met again.
My father passed away that day.
I had never drunk so much.
I'm so sorry.
She didn't do it on purpose.
We'll pay for this drink.
Please don't be mad at us.
So sorry.
Xia Lin!
Excuse me. Sir!
Stop!
Sir, you bumped into me. My phone fell into someone's drink.
It's broken now. You need to buy me a new phone.
Sir, can you hear me?
You heard me. Don't run off like this.
My phone is dead. You need to compensate me. You hear?
Sir, are you OK?
If something's troubling you, you can talk to me about it.
Perhaps I might be able to help.
Hey, say something.
What did you say? I can't hear you.
Sir, why don't you come out of your car?
Or at least roll down your car window.
I can't hear what you're saying.
Sir, what did you say?
Where...
Where is my steering wheel?
What did you say?
Where is my steering wheel?
Sir, driving drunk is not just irresponsible,
you're jeopardizing the safety of yourself and others around you.
If you need a driver, I can call one for you.
Where is my steering wheel?
Miss, I'm so sorry.
This is my friend. I'll take care of him.
He shouldn't risk people's lives because he's being stupid.
-Sorry. -Steering wheel...
By the way, he broke my phone.
-You have to... -Where's my steering wheel?
Never mind.
Hey! Where did my steering wheel go?
What kind of woman is that?
After I sobered up...
I remembered that we met at the cake store before.
The kindness you have towards strangers...
was really heartwarming.
I was curious about you.
From that day on, I'd often drop by the cake store.
Every once in a while...
Wen Li would update me about you.
I didn't stop him.
I'm not sure when it started...
but I began to look forward to those updates about you.
I was like a drowning person.
And you were like...
the raft I was clinging onto to survive.
I just wanted to hold you tightly.
Perhaps God heard my prayers...
and gave me this chance.
Ms. Xia's health report results are out.
She just has a cold and mild anemia.
That's why her blood test results were abnormal. She doesn't have leukemia.
Does she know about her results yet?
Not yet.
Find a way to swap her health report.
Mumu.
I really have...
I've loved you for a very long time.
If I hadn't done all that, I don't know if you would have approached me.
Does that justify your despicable methods?
Did you ever think that I'd be sad about my illness?
I didn't think about that.
I just wanted to seize the opportunity.
Opportunity?
Do you know how devastated I was back then?
I couldn't sleep. I kept wondering what would happen the next day.
If Jia Fei wasn't there for me, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I only did it because I love you.
But that doesn't give you the right to manipulate my life!
Your love is too overwhelming and too selfish.
I cannot bear it. That's it.
You signed a two-year contract.
If you break it now, you have to pay ten million dollars.
I'll find a way to pay it.
I don't mean that. I don't want you to leave.
When I think about how you would
control my life if I stayed...
Piling more restrictions and rules on me... I feel terrified.
If there's nothing else...
goodbye.
Mumu... believe me.
I only did this so that you could be happy.
I...
I really hope you can stay.
What's going on?
Why did you suddenly end up at a hotel?
Did you run away from home?
Fei...
Can you lend me some money?
What?
So, you're saying that
Mr. Ling knew about you a long time ago.
He's crazy.
How could he lie about something that serious?
Can't he just tell you he likes you?
Maybe his brain is wired differently than normal people.
Wait.
What kind of shots did they give you when you were hospitalized?
Those shots were for anemia.
The drugs were all vitamins.
I wondered why I recovered so quickly.
I guess poverty has limited my imagination.
So, what's your next move? Divorce?
I haven't thought about it. My mind is all over the place now.
If divorce is what you have in mind,
don't worry, we'll find you a better guy.
If you decide that you don't want a divorce,
then I'll fight Director Ling to the bitter end with you.
We'll make him correct his wrongdoings.
Don't worry.
I'll support you no matter what you decide to do.
Thank you, Fei.
I still don't want to see him right now.
My top priority is finding a place to live.
I did some calculations just now.
I haven't been making much money lately.
I don't have money to pay for a rent deposit.
What is there to worry about? I have money.
Why don't we move in together?
Don't do that. I'll look for a place tomorrow.
Let's talk about it when I settle down.
What should we do then?
I have a script meeting tomorrow.
It's OK. Do what you need to do.
I'll ask Yang Tong to go with me.
Alright.
Let me know when you find a place.
You remember my card PIN, right?
Remember, don't be a cheapskate.
Find a good place in a good neighborhood. OK?
OK.
I'm worried sick about you.
How can you be an actress when you don't even shut the bathroom door?
Isn't this my old place?
The landlord was trying to sell it.
This house has been on the market for a long time.
The landlord doesn't want to lose money, so it's available for rent again.
Fate brought you and this place together again.
Will the landlord be selling the house again during my stay?
We've signed an agreement with the landlord.
The penalty for early rental termination is high.
Excuse me. I have to take this.
Did you get into a fight with Mr. Ling?
No.
Did he bully you?
Tell me. I'll teach him a lesson.
Haven't you always been afraid of him?
I may be scared,
but you're family to me.
No matter how powerful he is, he's not allowed to bully you.
It's nothing. I'm just moving out for a little while.
Come stay with me then.
It's OK. Your place isn't big enough for two people.
By the way,
-have I got any jobs lately? -You have.
But they all have to do with Mr. Ling.
In the future, decline all jobs related to him.
OK.
Ms. Xia, what do you think?
We don't need to look at any more. I'll take it.
-Can you settle the paperwork with him? -Sure.
Alright.
-Hello? -Xia Lin.
Yang Tong told me that you've declined a number of jobs recently.
How come? Too busy?
No, but I...
Great. Could you talk to Director Ling?
Tianyi and Lingshi could work together and hold a collaboration event.
Tell him not to worry about the performers.
Chu Yan and Shuangshuang will be attending.
Lisa.
What if I were to break up with Ling Yizhou?
Don't you dare!
Xia Lin, are you out of your mind?
What you should do right now
is convince the media that you'll soon be Mrs. Ling.
It's fine that you kept it secret before,
but now that it's out, you should seize the opportunity.
Stop declining jobs. You wanted to be a star.
Alright, Lisa.
I'm in the middle of something. Let's talk later.
How did you know I was here?
Did Ling Yizhou send you here?
Is he still spying on me?
Please. I stayed up the whole night to fly here. This is what I get?
Alright. Ling Yizhou didn't send me. It was Yang Tong.
Tongtong?
You moved out of the house after that fight.
She was worried about you.
What happened exactly? How did it get so serious?
OK. If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask Ling.
I'll tell you in the car.
Ling is usually quite smart,
why does he always screw up the important things?
Thanks for dropping me off.
I'm running out of time. Got to go.
You're going to work as a promotion girl?
I'm penniless.
I had to borrow money from Feifei to pay for my rent.
All the jobs coming from Lisa are connected to Ling Yizhou.
I have to find a way to support myself.
I can lend you money.
I can't keep living off borrowed money.
I'm not handicapped. I can earn a living.
Fine. But if anything happens...
you know who to call.
Got it, Mr. Superstar.
-I'll get going now. -OK.
Hello, ma'am.
Good morning.
I called you yesterday. I'm Xia Lin.
I see. You have quite a pleasant image.
We sell KuGou products,
so it's important to have charm.
Remember to keep smiling.
No problem.
We'll pay you on a daily basis,
based on your total sales amount. Any questions?
Nope.
Great. Let's get you started quickly.
Hello, sir.
Would you be interested in these KuGou Bluetooth headphones?
-Sure. -These headphones weigh only 13 grams.
They're super comfortable. They have a magnetic switch.
Separating the earbuds turns them on.
When you put them back together, they turn off.
Isn't that convenient?
These headphones also have a unique feature.
They support voice-over song demand.
Look. When I press this button and say, "I want to listen to songs by Chu Yan,"
-it will immediately play. Try it. -Sure.
The sound quality is nice.
We have various colors for you to choose from.
I'll take this one.
Thank you.
Hi. Could you get this gentleman the newest model in black?
Sure. Of course.
Please follow me.
Is there anything you're looking for?
This is a cool model.
This color is quite nice.
I'd also like to try it out.
I want one, too.
This model is really nice.
We did unexpectedly well in sales today.
Thanks to you, lucky star.
I'll pay you double tomorrow.
I won't be here tomorrow.
Why not? I'm paying you double.
I've never been so generous before.
I'm treating you special because you're our store's lucky star.
Aren't you Xia Lin?
No wonder you looked familiar.
I'm not. You have the wrong person.
Ma'am, look. That was her, right?
Ling Yizhou publicly confesses his love on a show...
Ling Yizhou?
Why would she come work as a promotion girl here?
-That's strange. -The CEO of Lingshi Group?
What was she doing here?
Could it be that Lingshi wants to acquire our company?
-Mrs. Ling. How are you? -Not good.
Are you going to interfere with everything I do?
That job doesn't suit you.
Does Ling Yizhou have so much time to waste?
Tell him to meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce now.
Never mind. Put him on the phone.
Sorry, Mrs. Ling. Mr. Ling is with a client right now.
He means no harm.
He just wants to save your relationship.
Mr. Wen,
I know you're speaking for him as usual.
Please inform him,
some things can't be saved.
Besides, from what I see, he doesn't even realize his wrongdoings.
Weren't you filming overseas? Why are you back?
I know what happened between you and Xia Lin.
You shouldn't have done that.
That's between the two of us. It's none of your business.
I have to get to a meeting.
What are you doing?
You're just pushing her further away.
She's my wife, so I won't allow her to leave my side.
Yes, she is your wife.
But she also has her own thoughts and feelings.
You can't just manipulate her life as you wish.
Nobody can accept that.
I'm doing it for her own good.
For her own good?
Many people have used that as an excuse to harm others.
Loving someone involves respecting them.
Love with an imbalance of power will never last.
She'll leave you in the end.
Do you know her that well?
As your mutual friend,
-I'm more objective-- -Do you love her?
Isn't the timing perfect?
You can swoop in when we're having a crisis.
That's for what you did to Xia Lin.
That's for doubting our friendship.
I'm telling you, Ling Yizhou.
It's easy to hurt someone who loves you, and that's what you've done today.
You managed to hurt two people who love you.
Mr. Ling,
your wife wants to meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
Your place looks better than I expected.
Do you have any manners?
I didn't even invite you in yet.
Manners? I fought Ling for you and you're lecturing me about manners?
Are you serious?
I punched him hard, twice.
My hand still hurts.
Is he... doing OK?
Can't you take a firm stand?
Your lord is hungry. Serve me some food.
My lord, I only have instant noodles to serve you.
But I have a lot of flavors. Take your pick.
I thought you were a celebrity.
Can't you treat yourself a little more?
I'm deep in debt right now. I'm grateful that I have enough to eat.
If you're going to be picky, go dine out!
-What's this? -For you.
What is it?
An ice pack. Didn't you hurt your hand?
No need for that.
You're so immature. Couldn't you settle it in a more civilized way?
Why get in a fight? So childish.
It's because he told me...
Told you what?
Nothing.
Get back to cooking.
Fine. I'll cook you some noodles.
What are you looking at
Nothing. I'll get cooking.
You hate An Ran for plotting against you.
But how are you different from her?
I never meant to hurt you.
You hurt me mentally.
Did you ever consider my feelings?
I was 21. Fresh out of college, bright future ahead. Then, a death sentence.
You only thought about what you want.
Do you know how much pain I suffered back then?
What am I to you?
A puppet for you to manipulate? A pet for your amusement?
I only ask for honesty and respect.
No surveillance, no shadowing, no lies.
I'm telling you, Ling Yizhou.
It's easy to hurt someone who loves you, and that's what you've done today.
You managed to hurt two people who love you.
Instant noodles are the best when it's raining.
Why are you so quiet?
What are you doing tomorrow?
Nothing.
I have to browse through job ads later.
Alright. To thank you for the feast tonight,
I'll give you a job.
Really?
Of course...
not.
I'll send you the address later. Just show up at nine.
What job is it?
You'll find out tomorrow. See you then.
Drive safely.
-Bye. -Bye.
I think...
we can give it a try.
Let's get married.
You did so many things that touched my heart.
And now you're taking it all back.
You can't accept the current situation, so I have to deal with it.
Don't you see how unfair this is?
Did you ever think that I'd be sad about my illness?
Your love is too overwhelming and too selfish.
Director Ling.
How did it go?
Mrs. Ling said she used to rent that place.
Purchase it from the landlord immediately.
Yes, sir.
Subtitle translation by Alice Hsing
Come bike with me.
You'll get paid handsomely.
Am I glowing to you right now?
I'm absolutely perfect.
Ling?
How's the investigation into Chu?
Everything is pretty much in place.
Set things in action.
You rotten child. If Ling Yizhou finds out,
the Chu family's prosperity will be ruined!
My last name is not Chu. I don't want to be a part of this family either.
