My True Friend
Episode 28
Someone who's able to sincerely love her,
care about her, tolerate her, and love her fondly.
That's all I want.
Most importantly is safe and sound. What do you think?
Our daughter's grown up now. Talk more quietly.
Our daughter can make her own choices.
Even though we don't really like Jing Ran's family,
it's our daughter's choice.
We shouldn't influence it.
I know.
Zhen Zhen, come.
Tomorrow, we head back.
There is something we'd like to remind you.
You're leaving so fast.
You aren't staying for another two days?
Come. Sit down.
We think you are taking care of yourself very well in Shanghai.
You have work you like and a great co-worker.
We are at ease.
But, I still need to add something.
Your and Jing Ran wedding matters you must be cautious.
This wedding isn't just a matter between two people.
It's between two families.
Just high hopes won't do.
No matter if you will be a housewife
or a career woman,
the most important thing is that you are happy.
You can't hit "replay" button for your life.
Whatever your decide can't be undone.
Also, the relationship between you and your mother-in-law will always be a challenge in your marriage.
So when you consider this question,
you have to know your future mother-in-law's
personality and how she treats people,
and put them all in consideration.
I got it, mom.
-Ok. -I will think about it.
I believe you.
Take a picture.
-Make a heart. -Make a heart.
Okay.
Let me look.
This picture is good.
This picture is also good.
Right?
Everything looks so good.
It really is.
Here, clean it.
To be honest, the remodeling is so great.
It's completely different than before.
-Right? -Right right right.
That's so great.
It...it...it makes me so happy.
Mom, we are very lucky.
I heard the one who designed it for us
is a internationally famous designer.
Oh really? He is great indeed.
Look, it's the same place,
but the feeling is way better.
It's good that after cleaning, we can all move in.
You can't move in immediately after cleaning.
The house needs to be air out for a couple of months after remodeling.
-It would be poisonous. - That's right.
Mom, don't worry.
Our designer
have thought of it for us.
He used safe materials for everything.
-Really? -You worry too much.
-Qian Qian. -Mom, what's up?
Why is your nail polish here?
Mom, it's not nail polish.
Mom, this,
I have to introduce you.
This is an environmentally friendly device.
If the air outside is bad and we don't want to open a window,
it can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Therefore, we can move in anytime we want.
-Really? -Whenever I think
of cleaning the place and just move in,
I feel energized.
Mom, don't overwork yourself. Take it easy.
Ok. It's nothing.
Qian Qian,
what time is it?
Husband, we should go.
Okay, let's go to work.
Mom, Qian Qian and I are going to work.
Take your time here. We have lots of time.
-Don't get too tired. -Don't worry.
Just let it to us.
Just go to work.
-It will be ready when you come back. -Great.
Ok, in-law, it's all yours.
-I'll go to the bedroom. -Okay.
In-law, I didn't expect that we can have a home in Shanghai.
Every time I look at this house,
I feel so secure.
That's right, you are right.
In-law,
those young people working in big cities are having it hard.
I think us parents
should do what we can to help them.
-They are not having it easy. -Right.
In-law,
outside of our neighborhood and across the street,
there is a big supermarket and a farmer's market.
Let's go there after the cleaning.
In-law, what was that?
What dropped?
In-law!
-Coffee -I won't drink it, thank you.
Forget it then.
Did your parents get home?
If they give you a call please tell them I miss them a lot.
Invite them here more often. They would be so bored at home.
Shao Peng Cheng, thank you for accompanying my parents when they were here.
They were always complimenting you in front of me. Saying this was good. That was good.
Where did your parents say was good?
Miss Cheng.
-Miss Chen. -I need to sell my house.
-The faster the better. -Sell your house?
Didn't you just remodeled and about to move in?
That's right, the house was remodeled basing on your design.
Everyone in our family is very pleased.
But who knows that when my mother was cleaning the house,
she fell down.
She hurt her head severly,
and she is in the ICU.
You know out situation.
We don't have much money. All of our savings
are in this house. I just want to sell is as fast as I can to
Save my mom's life.
Ok, don't worry, we will help you sell it as soon as we can.
-Right right right. -You just remodeled the house and you haven't moved yet.
We should be able to sell it for a higher price.
Thank you, you two. You two helped us when we were buying it.
But it's probably not meant to be.
We still have to sell it after all.
My mother is still in hospital. I need to go see her.
The passcode is 666666.
Ok, got it. Let me walk you out.
Is Auntie Tian
ok? Is it serious? How did she end up in ICU?
It was serious.
That's such a pity.
How could it end up like this?
What happened to you all?
Tian Geng said that his mother just hurt herself and she needs money.
They have to sell the house.
Selling the house right after the accident.
The house all six worked hard to buy.
They haven't been able to enjoy it for one day, and they have to sell it.
Such is life.
What are we
working so hard for everyday?
You just realized? That's how life works.
House, car, money,
are nothing when it comes to life and death.
I hope our lives
don't run into that.
So is a house important or life important?
When it comes to it, life is more important.
That's why we need to work hard.
Don't wait until when you are old and have no house to sell.
Store manager, you said it exactly right.
This is exactly the reality.
-Reality? -Reality.
This is the reality. Fix this document.
Get energized, alright?
[Emergency]
Blame me. Blame it on me.
If I had cleaned the window with her.
Mom, don't blame yourself. Its our fault.
If only I hired a cleaning crew, it wouldn't happen.
I shouldn't let old people clean the house.
Where are you going?
The air is suffocating here. I need to get some air.
Aside from selling the house, are there any other options?
What other options could there be? Our family is six people,
and we've used all of our savings. We also have a mortgage to pay, don't you know that?
Luckily, we don't have any kids.
I'm doing down.
Why are you so care-free?
My mother is still in ICU.
I'm not leaving the hospital.
Zhen Zhen, we're going first.
-Miss Zhen. -Miss Yu, Auntie Yu, what brought you here?
We need to talk to you about something in person, so we came to see you.
Okay, okay. Come on inside.
I thought you would still be in the hospital.
[For sale]
Shao Peng Cheng, come with us.
Little Shao, Zhen Zhen.
Miss Yu, what is this for?
Don't misunderstand. It's like this,
our house could you possibly,
don't sell it so fast.
If you can't sell it that's even better.
Just don't sell, if that's ok.
Of course, it will make you lose some money.
This is the compensation for your loss.
Auntie Yu, I don't understand. You've decided not to sell now?
That's right. Here is the thing, Qian Qian's father and I
are owners as well. Also, I've investigated,
as long as one owner doesn't sign the paperwork, this house cannot be sold.
You know better about the market than us.
If we quit the game now, we will have no game.
You can't make my daughter be a renter for the rest of her life, right?
I'm getting old. Having a house or not doesn't matter.
But not Qian Qian. She is still young. She has to have a house.
This house cannot be sold.
Miss Yu, if you don't sell the house,
then there won't be any money to save your mother-in-law. Do you not want to save her?
I'm willing to save my mother-in-law, but I don't want to sell the house.
But this house is the only asset you have.
I don't even think it's about the house now. Have you thought about it, Miss Yu?
If you don't sell this house,
not only your mother-in-law will die,
I think it will effect your marriage.
I know.
That's why we are begging you to keep the secret. I will take care of my mother-in-law.
I've already borrowed money from everyone.
But this house,
I really can't sell it. Please understand.
Miss Yu, so you...I'm sorry.
I can't agree to this matter.
Since Mr. Tian already asked us to do this,
This house really can't be sold that''s another matter
But if you want me to lie to him and tell him the house can't be sold. I can't do that.
No no no, I didn't ask you to lie.
I was just saying that don't be so eager to sell it, if that's ok.
But.
Aunt Yu, let me tell you a story.
There is a train driving. In front of the train, on the track
five children playing.
On the other track is one child.If it was you,
would you let the train run over that one kid
or let it run over the five kids?
How do you choose?
What is this?
You can't choose, right?
But thank god, there is no kid on the train track,
It's just a house.
So Miss Yu, Auntie Yu, I suggest you to go back and talk about it with Mr. Tian.
This money, we don't need it.
We can't go against our morals for you.
And sorry for being too blunt, but I think life always comes first.
You said it. Life is the most important.
Mom, let's go. Let's not make them do this.
Anyway, if I don't sign it, you can't sell it.
Let's go.
All these years, this is the first time I have this indescribable feeling of defeat.
Also, they have six owners.
It's really not easy.
[Hospital]
Didn't you say that you were not leaving the hospital?
Why did your mother leave with you as well?
Tian Gang, I went out to buy food. Here.
You eat. I have no appetite.
You've been starving yourself. Just eat something.
I will buy two bottles of water.
When you said "your mother",
it was very harsh to hear.
She was also your mother.
That's right. The one who is in ICU is also your mother.
♪
My son, I've finally finished cleaning.
Son, I want to discuss you. I want to move in first.
Once you finished designing, can we renovate it?
Okay.
Great.
I finally have my own house again. I can be with my son,
and daughter-in-law here enjoy my old age.
Mom, what are you talking about? You are not old.
I am old. I'm more than 60 years old.
So what? Your voice is still young.
Okay, I will buy some groceries. I will make you both some delicious food.
Get Zhen Zhen here, too. We will celebrate.
Mom.
Zhen Zhen might not have any time. She's only been able to take clients to see houses after work.
So, how about this,
once she is on vacation, I will invite her.
She can come early and help.
Her work, I...
son, isn't it just showing clients condos? I think...
I don't think it's not that important. And you will be getting married soon.
She should resign. You should tell her.
She doesn't have to work hard. How about this,
you go to her branch and tell the manager
that it's the first day in the new home, so we need to celebrate as a family.
Right, my son, I'm really happy today. I will make something nice.
It's for good luck. I'm going.
Zhen Zhen, my client is eying that condo you are trying to sell.
If you don't mind I will take him to look at the house.
I'm helping you two.
You are both good people. You want to help your client overcome this difficulty.
Faster selling house. Faster getting money. Faster to cure the disease.
Why are you everywhere? Our clients are a family of six.
They need to vote for it to be sold. What are you messing around for?
You guys are too young and inexperienced.
It's not their decision to make in such situations. This is very clear.
Eventually, they will have to sell.
The clients are just can't accept the reality, right?
How much does ICU cost a day?
By the time they get the bill, they will be shocked.
If the young couple still wants a life together,
they have to sell. Life comes first.
But selling the house shouldn't be the thing that forces them into a corner.
If they can't stay together, then they really need to sell it.
Divorce means dividing their properties.
In the end, they will lose everything.
What are you thinking? We can't just let it happen.
I don't want to see it happen either. That's why
we need to help them at such time, right?
Money is their last hope. We need to turn their house into money.
Zhen Zhen, I'll leave first to see the house.
Mei Li, wait a second.
Our six clients are not in complete agreement yet.
How about this, Shao Peng Cheng and I will go talk with them. Once we have an answer we will tell you.
Even if you give your client a tour, they can't buy it. What's the hurry?
Okay.
She only knows about making money.
Zhen Zhen, I asked for a day off for you. Let's go.
What's going on?
We have to go to the thing later.
You can't go. Hao Meili is still a threat.
-Let's go. -Jing Ran.
I'm sorry.
Today, I really do have something urgent. I have to go to the hospital to help a client resolve a problem.
Could you ask Auntie Bai that if we can reschedule it?
Didn't we agree in the morning to eat dinner together tonight?
My mom made lots and lots of food. Really.
Today I really do have a sudden situation.
Please help me tell Aunt Bai.
Everyone has emergencies.
Zhen Zhen, look,
today is our first day in the new house.
My mom just want us to eat together as a family.
Why can't you just put your work on hold?
You are not the only person working here.
Jing Ran, please understand me.
If I go eat with you, I would feel guilty.
How about this. First I'll finish up my work and then I'll immediately come over.
Don't wait for me.
Let's go.
I got your bag for you.
I will get back to work. I will see you later.
How about...
Mr. Wang, this way.
I believe you will definitely love this house.
We made a smart lock for this one.
Once you move in, we can set a new code.
I'll turn on the light.
So it is from a good designer.
It's not bad right?
-What's this? -Sorry, the property onwer
hasn't had the time to clean up yet, but I wanted to show you.
The special thing about this property is that it utilized all the space
and it doesn't waste any room. Don't just see how small this dining table is. It's it folded.
If you open it, it can fit six to eight people.
Look at the house, at this cabinet.
We made a pulling closet. Just needs a light pull.
You don't have to use a stepping stool to reach it. It's safer this way.
And you just push it. It's very convenient.
Isn't it a great design?
This condo is as good as the ones in New York or Tokyo.
This is nothing. There are even more unique designs. This way.
In-law, once I heard what happened,
I came right away.
I should've come with Tian Gang's mother when it was done renovating.
It wouldn't have happened.
Don't blame yourself too much. No one anticipated it.
Mr. Tian.
Mr. Shao, Miss Cheng. Is there a buyer already?
Not yet. We were wondering if we could help with anything.
We brought you some fruit.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Is her family here? -Right here.
-It's time to pay. -How much is it?
Just deposit more into the card.
I'll pay the bill first.
Mom, you go pay it. Use my credit card.
Tian Gang needs to talk here.
Ok.
Mr. Shao, you saw what's happening.
My mom has been in the ICU.
Please sell our house as soon as you can.
This would be the biggest help to our family. Please.
Mr. Tian, we are also here to discuss it.
Your certificate has six people's names on it,
so only when all six of you agree to sell it, we can put it on market.
so I wanted to ask if all six people agree to selling the hough.
We agree. All six of us.
Was there someone from this family who told you they didn't agree?
As agents,
we need to think of all the possibilities before the clients do.
I need to mention something unrelated. The house is important.
Life is most important. Your decision is right.
We know how much effort you spent on this house.
But, the house is not people.
Getting Auntie Tian out of danger is the most important matter.
My wife and I don't agree to sell.
Dad.
We asked all of our relatives and friends to raise money for your mother.
The money will be here in a couple of days.
We will do everything to save her.
But...
Also, everyone knows how much effort we spent on this house.
This is the home for you two. We can't sell it.
In-law, that wasn't what you said on the phone.
It cost 20,000 per day in ICU.
We've been using the kids' credit card these days.
They need to pay back their credit cards. The money we borrowed from friends and family
will also need to be repaid.
The kids need to pay for the mortgage as well. We are an ordinary family.
Our income is basically the same every month.
If you borrow all this money from others now, how are they going to pay it back in the future?
How are they going to pay for the credit card and the mortgage?
We can't kill ourself over it in the end.
What you guys still human? My mom is still in there.
Why are you still eating?
What are you yelling about?
We are all trying our best to save your mother.
My daughter hasn't eaten all day today. It's just an orange.
Tell you what Tian Gang, don't you lay a finger on my daughter.
I'm pregnant.
I want to give the kid a house. So I don't agree to selling the house.
Mom, I'm back.
You are back.
I bought fresh French oysters.
I will bake oysters for you two.
I'll help you.
No need.
Where is Zhen Zhen?
I'm asking you. Where is Zhen Zhen?
Where is Zhen Zhen?
Zhen Zhen? Zhen Zhen,
she has to work overtime today.
She can't come.
Wait a second. Wait a second son.
Did she say this morning over the phone she could come.
Oh my goodness. Her work,
What's worth to work overtime for? Is it more important than spending time with family?
Look, I prepared so many dishes.
She did it on purpose. She is sending a message.
Mom. Today she really does have an important matter.
The clients family had a big issue. You know Zhen Zhen,
She treats her client as the most important.
Right now is like this, and she will be the same in the future.
What do you mean by she will be the same in the future?
She in the past, when I was her client
during work she would come to my house and eat and chat with me.
How is it that now she's your girlfriend she doesn't have any time.
-What does that mean? If she is not doing it on purpose, then... -Stop it!
She is not like that.
So I am? Am I that kind of person?
You've never yelled at me like this before.
You are yelling at me for your girlfriend?
I'm wrong, is that it Son?
I'm wrong. I shouldn't have prepared this for you is that right?
So you are yelling at me.
I did everything for the two of you, so it's all my fault?
-Mom, mom, mom -Don't grab me.
Mom!
I'm pregnant.
I don't want our kid to move around with us.
I don't want our kids to go back to our hometown, because he doesn't live in the city.
So Tian Gang, I don't agree to sell.
Qian Qian...
Are you going to say that we will have a house in the future?
And when is that? That's such an empty promise. I'm a mother now.
I can't offer my kid the best, but is it wrong to try to give him a home?
You are right. You said nothing wrong.
This is also my child. I also want to give him a home.
I don't want him to move around with me either.
It's good that you said that.
But my mother is inside. It's my own mother!
How could I see her die?
Miss Yu, I'm sorry. As an outsider, I would like to say something.
I think you be so pessimistic about renting.
Lot's of young people rent houses and are very happy.
Also, the most important thing right now is to do the right thing and keep the family together, right?
Excuse me. I'm sure you are not married and you don't have kids, right?
Of course you can't understand my feelings.
All you do is judging people on your moral high ground.
You will only understand when it happens to you.
-But... -Miss Yu,
I really understand you're feelings,
but the house is not a person. A person is a person.
Don't I know that?
I just have a small wish. I just want a home
so my child can grow up in there without a worry.
It's too exhausting to live in this city.
If I don't even have a house here, I don't think I can do this.
Miss Yu, don't get so riled up. You are with child now.
How about this? We can think about a better way to solve this.
How about his? Mr. Shao, Miss Cheng, I know what you guys are trying to tell me.
Give us more time. Us six will discuss this and give you an answer.
But today, please head back home.
Good-bye.
Mr. Tian, don't make Miss Yu too excited. She is pregnant.
