(My True Friend)
(Episode 9)
Most of the time, I am busy with my work.
Even with the nanny,
he likes to throw random fits.
I don't have any patience.
But today, something worse almost happened.
If it weren't for you guys...
Mr. Mu, don't blame yourself too much.
Nowadays, these kidnappers always target...
the elderly and nannies who are taking care of the children.
Luckily, Mu Mu was smart.
He saw the logo of Love and Family on him.
Zhen Zhen, I'm really sorry.
This is all my fault.
You were hurt because of me.
I will pay for all your medical fees.
Take a good rest at home.
Later, I will talk with your manager, Ms. Zeng,
to arrange your sick leave.
Who's the father of the child?
It's me. I'm his father.
Could you come with me?
I need to take your statement.
Sure.
Then I'll go have my statement taken.
Wait for me.
We'll be leaving first.
I'll send her home.
All right, then once I'm done,
I'll look for you.
Zhen Zhen, thank you so much.
It's all right.
Peng Cheng.
Thank you.
Why did you talk to him like that?
What, can't I chide him?
He doesn't care about his son.
You're stupid enough.
Why did you get yourself injured...
while saving someone?
It was not within my control.
Does it hurt?
Sorry.
Beg me.
Hurry up, beg me.
Beg me to carry you out.
Beg me.
Thanks.
Slowly.
Slowly. Just stay still, stay still.
Hold on to this.
It's okay, I can walk.
Stop talking. Here.
Climb up.
You should be careful next time.
Don't trip again.
It might get worse. All right?
You will take some time to get well.
You can't just leave all the work to me.
I know.
Oh, I just recalled something.
What?
When I was talking to Mu Mu,
he pointed to your coat,
saying that it looks like his dad's.
Which means a kid can recognize...
Love and Family's logo too.
There are so many children going missing.
If we could make use of the fact that...
we have so many branches,
we can do something for these children.
Isn't that great?
That sounds like a great idea.
We have so many branches...
all over Shanghai, right?
So...
whenever there's a missing child,
they can go to any branch...
of...
Love and Family, right?
And ask for help.
If that's the case,
we can contribute back to the society.
It can also improve the image of our company.
Not bad, Cheng Zhen Zhen.
You're pretty smart for a blockhead.
Who's a blockhead?
If it weren't for me,
would you have caught the kidnapper today?
Yes, it's all your credit.
You got yourself injured too.
Right?
It's your fault.
You took so long to get the security guard.
Go on.
I'll leave you here.
Leave me here, if you dare.
- Apologize. - No.
- Apologize to me. - Go. Keep going.
- Apologize. - No.
Then I'm leaving you here. I won't take you home.
Quick, apologize.
No.
The light, it's at the back.
You just have to step on that.
Take off your shoes.
Is it better?
Thanks.
- All right, have a good rest. - Yes.
Your injury will take a long time to recover.
I'll get you some water...
just in case you feel thirsty at night.
- Hi, Ms. Mei Li. - Zhen Zhen, I sold Ms. Bai's house.
You sold Ms. Bai's house?
Yes, I wanted to tell you...
when you get to the office.
But you never returned.
So I decided to give you a call.
In case you hear it from someone else...
and feel upset.
Zhen Zhen,
although I passed the case to you,
you were taking too long to sell it.
You've worked hard, nevertheless.
What is she saying?
Pass me the phone.
Hao Mei Li, what do you mean?
You sold Ms. Bai's house?
What's your problem?
Why do you have to call us?
What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to show off?
Whatever you say.
I'm just trying to acknowledge...
that you've worked hard too.
Keep going.
I'll buy everyone dinner tomorrow night.
Remember to join us. Bye-bye.
Hao Mei Li! You! Hello?
What an idiot.
What's wrong with her?
Isn't this an issue of ethics?
Besides stealing clients,
what else can she do?
Theoretically, it makes sense.
But really,
it's upsetting.
Just too bad that we're rookies.
From another point of view,
we shouldn't stoop down to her level.
Right?
We might be rookies,
but in just a month,
I think both of us...
went up from junior rookies...
to senior rookies.
Although we weren't the ones who sold...
the house, but we've improved.
Look, when we first started,
Ms. Bai played with us.
But then she changed her mind...
and commissioned us to sell her house.
Right? I think that's a great improvement.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, you're indispensable.
You should acknowledge your own hard work and growth.
Don't undervalue yourself.
For Ms. Bai's house,
you've done as much as I did.
Now that we've lost the deal,
how am I supposed to not be upset?
As a real estate agent,
we sell houses, right?
In our industry, we can't be too hung up on who closes the deal.
If we get too hung up on it,
then we'll become too calculative...
and that'd be what we do all day.
Just wait and see.
It'll be fine.
We're partners.
Of course, sometimes,
you get a little crazy, right?
But you have me! Right?
We'll overcome anything.
Isn't there still time till the end of the month?
Just wait and see.
In the remaining time,
I'll sell a few houses.
Stop daydreaming.
You... Can't you...
Can't you stop looking down on me?
Can't you give me some confidence?
You lost the deal.
I can't do anything.
And here you are feeling upset.
I don't think...
you're upset...
because you lost the deal.
I think you're upset...
because her son is leaving.
Seriously.
- Oh, no! - What?
I've been waiting for you. Are you coming?
I assume you're busy since I didn't get a reply from you.
I'm leaving.
It's a pity I didn't get to see you.
What's wrong?
What happened?
I'm fine.
I'm tired. Go home.
Is it...
Jing Ran?
Okay, all right. I'll be leaving now.
Call me if you need help.
I'm sorry.
I had some urgent matters to deal with,
so I couldn't turn up.
Because it was too sudden,
I couldn't inform you earlier.
I'm sorry that...
you had to wait for so long.
It's all right.
I just got a little worried because I didn't hear from you.
Now that I know you're safe, I feel at ease.
I hope we'll have a chance to meet in the future.
Thank you.
Thank you for the concern.
But you're leaving with Ms. Bai.
That might be...
our last chance to meet up.
Mom.
Thanks, son.
Here, sit down.
Okay.
Are you cold?
No, I'm fine.
Son.
Now that the house is sold...
Mom, I've told you.
There are too much memories in this house.
But some memories are too heavy.
It'll become a burden.
I live so far from you.
I am worried...
about you being alone.
So leave the burden behind.
Go to Italy with me.
Son, I know you...
have cold hands, but you have a warm heart.
But you being stubborn, fussy,
and aloof...
It's all because of me, really.
It's all my fault.
I don't understand...
why I gave you...
so much pressure when you were young.
Now that I think about it,
I feel like you never knew...
how to be close to me.
And I was really busy with my job too.
I only cared about your achievements in school.
I didn't pay attention to anything else.
Now that I think about it,
you must have been lonely...
when you were little.
I feel like...
I've failed badly as a mother.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, son.
Mom, tell me.
How can you say that about yourself?
In my heart,
you're really, really,
the best mom in the world.
You're the best.
After dad passed away,
you've been supporting the family by yourself.
Me?
I... Usually...
I...
I don't really know...
how to express myself.
But I know.
I know your good intentions.
Thank you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Jing Ran's house,
someone from Love and Family sold it...
in three day's time.
It went smoothly.
That means that...
what Peng Cheng failed to do in a month,
someone did it in three days.
Peng Cheng is still a rookie, that would be expected.
Also,
Chairman, I should thank you.
Thank me?
Thank you. I'm also grateful to Peng Cheng.
Look at this.
Let's go. Hurry. You can't recognize mom?
Don't cry. Let's go. Let's go home.
Madam, is this really your child?
What are you trying to say?
Of course, this is my son.
- Hold on. - What is this?
He's obviously wearing a girl's dress.
Isn't he your son?
Yes, that's Mu Mu.
A few days ago, due to the nanny's negligence,
he was almost abducted.
Thankfully, Peng Cheng and his partner...
saved him.
The lady in the video...
is his partner, Cheng Zhen Zhen.
It's all thanks to them.
Without them, I don't know what would've happened.
Cheng Zhen Zhen.
Son, I'm going out.
Mom, where are you going?
I want to visit Xiao Shao and Zhen Zhen.
Although this house was sold...
by Xiao Hao,
the two of them...
did the most work.
They also sincerely took care of me.
I want to thank them...
before we leave.
Mom.
Why don't I...
go with you?
Great, that's great!
Let me get changed first.
Okay. Wait!
Come here.
Why?
Come here.
Let me ask you something.
You came home so late last night.
Were you with a girl?
What's going on?
Shouldn't you tell me?
Mom, she's not my girlfriend.
Then what is she to you?
We didn't see each other.
Something cropped up, so she cancelled on me.
Cancelled on you?
Just like that?
What's wrong with girls these days?
So unreliable.
Look at Zhen Zhen, she's so reliable.
You know, Zhen Zhen is so dependable.
She takes everything seriously...
and never goes back on her words.
Son, when you look for a girlfriend,
you should pick someone like her. All right?
Mom, I won't go with you...
if you continue saying things like that.
Okay, okay.
I'll stop talking.
Hurry, go get changed.
Hurry.
Who's there?
Ms. Bai, Jing Ran.
Why are you here?
What happened, Zhen Zhen?
It's nothing, I sprained my ankle.
It's nothing serious.
Please come in.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
- Slowly, take your time. - I'm fine.
- Here. - Don't worry.
Sit.
Thanks, Ms. Bai.
Mr. Jing, have a seat.
It's okay, I'll just leave these here.
- Have a good chat. - Sure.
We went to your company...
to look for you and Xiao Shao.
But your manager said that...
Xiao Shao went out to work...
and you're ill. I got worried.
Are you okay?
Is it serious?
I just sprained it a little.
The doctor said it's nothing serious.
But...
I missed an appointment that night.
What a pity.
It's okay. You can meet up another time.
It's not a big issue.
You can always arrange to meet again.
What's more important...
is that you shouldn't strain...
your ankle for now.
You should be resting at home.
You shouldn't be walking around.
All right?
I know.
It's just that this friend of mine,
he's leaving the country soon.
I'm afraid that...
I won't have the chance to see him again.
Travelling isn't difficult these days.
When you've recovered,
you can fly over to find him.
It's not too bad to have missed it,
now you can look forward to the next time you meet.
Yes.
What a nice way to put it.
Looking forward to the next time we meet.
Zhen Zhen, I'm here today...
As you may already know...
I let Xiao Hao sell my house.
You don't have to feel sorry about it.
But really, I...
I'm really grateful to you and Xiao Shao.
You've been taking care of me.
And you've done so much for my house.
Ms. Bai, don't say that.
Xiao Shao and I have learned a lot from you...
in the past few months.
We sincerely like you.
Jing Ran.
Bring those over.
Okay.
The weather is turning chilly.
This one.
Yes, here.
I wanted to give Xiao Shao a wool sweater.
But he's not around. Please pass it to him.
Thank him for me.
I'd like to cook for him, if there's a chance.
Thanks, Ms. Bai.
Xiao Shao would be really happy to receive this.
Zhen Zhen, this is my mom's gift to you.
Yes, open it.
No, Ms. Bai, this is too expensive.
I can't accept this.
I really want you and Xiao Shao to have these.
No, it's too expensive.
Zhen Zhen.
My dad brought this home...
from an investigation.
It's not that expensive,
but it's just a little token of appreciation from my mom.
- Yes. - So please accept it.
I also want to...
thank you for taking care of my mom.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Bai.
That's great!
Let me put it on for you.
Lower your head.
Thanks, Ms. Bai.
Son.
No, I...
I can't do this.
Give me a hand.
Okay, let me do it.
Here.
Sorry, did I pull on your hair?
It's okay.
I'll be more careful.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Let me have a look.
Thank you.
It looks so beautiful on her.
It suits you well.
Ms. Bai, do you want some fruits?
I'll bring you some.
No, no. Don't move around.
Then let me get you water.
No, stay put.
Look at what's on the shelves.
So cute.
The house is so clean and tidy.
Do you live alone?
Actually,
this house belongs to my mom's friend.
They've migrated,
so I'm looking after the house.
Do you tidy the house by yourself?
Yes.
That's great.
It's really clean.
Zhen Zhen, is this your graduation photo?
Ms. Bai, hold on.
Be careful.
Let me open the cabinet for you.
Jing Ran, have a look.
Why?
She's from the same school as you.
- Same school as me? - Yes.
Yes.
"Class of 2012."
I was about to graduate...
when you entered the school.
What a coincidence!
I can't believe you're from the same school.
I always thought you were a high school graduate.
Why are you working as a real estate agent...
when you graduated from such a good school?
Mom, she's injured her leg.
She needs to rest.
Why don't we go home?
Oh, yes, we shouldn't bother you.
We'll head home.
It's okay. Ms. Bai, stay for a while longer.
No, it's all right. We're leaving the country soon.
There are so many things to pack.
Zhen Zhen, when you have time,
give me a call.
Or just drop me a message.
If you ever go to Italy,
pay me a visit.
I don't know when I'll be back...
once I leave.
Mom, I'll come back with you...
whenever you want to.
Right, I'm getting absent minded.
Ms. Bai.
All right.
We're leaving.
Let's go, Mom.
We're leaving.
Let's go.
- Let me send you off. - It's okay.
It's okay, it's all right.
Goodbye.
Take care.
Goodbye.
You...
Son, what's the matter?
Why are you still awake?
Didn't I tell you that...
it's not good to stay up late at night?
I'm doing something.
Why did you...
bring out the tools...
for making models?
Thankfully, I kept it.
What are you making?
A little present.
For?
For a friend.
For who?
Who?
Cheng Zhen Zhen.
Son, you're giving her a present...
and you're hand-making it?
Great. I told you.
Once you get to know her,
you'll see how amazing she is.
Son, you've only met a few times.
Mom.
Can you stop imagining things...
and over thinking them?
Can you?
Look at this.
What?
It's Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen is really brave.
That's why...
I think she's a nice person.
See, we went to visit her today,
but she didn't mention a word...
about what she did.
She just said she had a fall.
That's great. My son is starting...
to pay attention to girls.
This is an improvement.
Mom.
Don't you have to work?
You come to my house twice a day.
Our sales are dependent on you now.
I can't buy your house.
Can't I take care of your meals?
I must also check if you've taken your medicines too.
I can take care of myself!
You just want free meals.
Besides, I injured my leg, not my hands.
I can feed myself.
I realize...
I'm doing this...
Who's there?
Coming.
A delivery for Cheng Zhen Zhen.
Oh, a delivery.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
What?
"Jing Ran."
- Jing Ran - And it's an express delivery.
Can I ask you something?
What's going on between you two?
Ms. Bai has sold her house.
Why are you still keeping in touch?
And why is he sending you stuff?
I'm talking to you.
Why do you care?
What?
Take it out for me.
You want me to take it out for you?
"A small gift. I hope you like it.
Get well soon.
A gift for heroine Cheng Zhen Zhen.
Jing Ran."
This is beautiful.
I love it.
Can you not overreact?
What is that?
That is just a toy.
Did you have to overreact?
Anyone can make this.
If you're that good,
why haven't I seen you make one?
I just don't want to.
If I had wanted to, I'd make one bigger than this.
All you do is talk.
Well, you know,
I worked hard for Ms. Bai too.
Why are you the only one who got a gift? Where's mine?
Do you deserve it? Seriously.
This is for heroine Cheng Zhen Zhen.
The doors are moveable.
It must have taken him a long time to make this.
Shao Peng Cheng, wait up!
Why did you come down?
I forgot. This is Ms. Bai's present for you.
Open it.
What is it?
It's a wool sweater.
Do you like it?
Stop saying that Ms. Bai...
only has me in her heart.
She cares about you too.
So you have to treat her better.
All right, I know.
Now I have to help you back to your house.
Go.
Stop causing trouble.
Slowly.
All right.
Ai Wen.
Ai Wen, come and play.
The teacher said we can rest for 10 minutes.
Stop pretending.
My parents said we're going to Hong Kong for a holiday.
I have to speak only in English.
Speak only in English.
Bravo.
We're going to Hong Kong for a trip.
I have to speak only in English.
Stop it!
We're going to Hong Kong for a trip.
I have to speak only in English.
What's your name?
My name is Ai Wen.
Teacher, he's dying.
He's dying, he's dying!
That's all for today's meeting.
Everyone, finish up what you have on hand.
Hopefully by the end of the month,
we'll achieve a good sales performance.
That's it.
Shao Peng Cheng.
Come with me. I have something to say.
What?
What's with your attitude?
Ms. Zeng, what's the matter?
Look here.
Don't think that just because you and Cheng Zhen Zhen saved someone...
means I'll let you off.
It's the end of the month soon.
Both of you have yet to sell anything.
Get up. What are you doing?
It's a good thing to help others.
But that does not negate...
your bad performance.
Cheng Zhen Zhen can't come to work.
What have you been busy with?
Are you contacting clients?
Who have you contacted?
Whatever.
Don't be angry, Ms. Zeng.
How difficult can it be?
I just have to contact clients.
Hello, Mrs. Yang.
I am...
Shao Peng Cheng from Love and Family.
I just wanted to ask...
Have you found him?
Not yet.
He fought with his classmate.
Then he ran away.
Hubby, where could he have gone?
Don't panic.
Let's look for him and keep in contact.
If we can't find him in another half an hour,
let's call the police.
All right, let's go.
Hurry, hurry.
Hello, what is your name?
Are you new here?
I won't die catching a cold.
Can't I play for a while?
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.
I've disappointed you.
I fought with Bill just now.
I don't know how he is doing now.
Mom, Dad.
I'm sorry.
I've disappointed you.
I don't know.
I fought with Bill just now.
