♫ Love has a kind of ominous feeling ♫
♫ When you are silent for a moment ♫

♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit ♫

♫ Why bother justifying the right and wrong? ♫
♫ And between me and you ♫

♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit ♫

The Lover's Lies
Episode 20
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
Niu! Let me hold her.
Be careful.
Be careful. If she gets hurt, her legs will break.
Brother Yi Yi, thank you so much.
What are you thinking? Isn't this mainly because Grandma is sick?
No matter what, we still need to thank you.
I think, my Older Sister and Grandma will have to be in your care.
Xiao Qiu, where are you going?
I'm going back to the hospital. I can live in the hospital dorm.
Will the hospital have a bed if you rush over there?
I've discussed it with an older student, he can get a bed for me.
Don't worry, it's fine.
That's good then.
Older Sister, about the house, don't worry about it. I'll think of a solution.
Why do you have to be the one to think of a solution?
Right now, it's more important for you to focus on your studies.
About the house, I'll be the one to think of a solution.
Forget it, forget it, forget it.
Your older sister will stay here at mine, there's no problem with that.
I'll think of a solution for the house. That will be fine, right?
Why are you the one thinking of a solution?
I'm bored. Okay?
Be careful on the road.
Older Sister, I'm going to leave then.
Brother Yi Yi, I'm going.
Be careful on the road.
Yi Yi,
thank you so much.
Thank me for what?
Isn't it only because I was worried that you'd have nowhere to stay
and then you wouldn't be able to pay off all of the debt you owe me?
Rest early.
You scared me to death! Who are you?
Xiao Bao?
He didn't even say his greetings before coming here. I can't accept it.
Xiao Bao has nowhere to live.
Do you want me to kick him out? He is my son after all.
He is your son. What relationship does he have with me?!
What kind of words are those? Even if he is no relation to you,
just think of him as a relative from far away
and let him stay here for a few days, alright?
You—!
Xiao Bao, just live here temporarily.
Living under someone else's roof, you should be more careful with yourself. Just don't cause trouble.
I don't know what happened to Aunt.
A good house gone, just like that.
Seriously. Come in.
[Recipient: Student Tong Si Ji ]
The house...
Xiao Bao... Xiao Bao... Xiao Bao...
The house... unconscientious... unconscientious...
Unconscientious...
Mum, I didn't do what I promised you I would do.
This person...
No way.
For such a great amount of money, Mum can't be the decider of it. You should ask your dad.
Mum, saving people is like putting out a fire.
Moreover, my friend really needs this amount of money.
Otherwise, Mum, lend me some first to meet an urgent need.
I'll slowly pay it back to you in the future.
No way!
Dad! Why not?
It's to help someone! I'm not using it rashly!
I said no way, so no way!
- But— - Hui Hui.
Alright, Hui Hui. Don't fight with your dad.
I'm just telling the truth as it is.
This amount of money is just a small amount to both of you.
But for my friend, it will save lives!
I don't want to hear you talking about this.
Say, you child, how long have you been gone from the house?
The moment you come back, all you talk about is money, money, money. Is this even reasonable?!
You're not allowed to give her a cent!
Dad!
- Mum! - Hui Hui.
I told you, don't fight back with your dad.
You never listen. Can't you see your dad is in a bad mood?
Then, Mum, the money—
What is this?
Niu, you need to be good. You can't cry.
Uncle Yi Yi is very fierce. He hates it the most when children cry.
If you continue being like this, he'll get angry.
Isn't he really scary? Mum thinks so too.
Are you trying to make me seem like a monster?
Can you not always be so sneaky?
Who told you to talk negatively behind my back?
Was I wrong? Are you not a monster?
What are you doing, waking up so early?
Can you not see? I'm making breakfast.
To let us stay here at your home,
you've given all of your servants a holiday.
Of course, I have to do everything the Auntie does.
You're right.
You're doing work to pay your debt back?
Yeah.
Don't come near me.
You— What are you doing?!
- Don't get close to me! - What are you scared of?
Why are you so nervous?
I'm going give my Grandma her breakfast.
The plate is empty. Are you trying to make Grandma eat air?
Tong Si Ji, are you in love with me?
Totally shameless.
You're not denying it, you must be in love with me.
[Xiang Yang]
[Tong Si Ji] Your call is about to be connected to voicemail.
The billing will begin after the beep. If not—
Xiang Yang! Xiang Yang!
Do you know, when you don't call me "Cheng Xiang Yang", something bad must have happened?
Say it, don't beat around the bush.
Smuggle me out of here.
- No way. - If I don't get out, what do I do about Xiao Chun?
[Xiao Chun] 3:00 pm, meet me at the plaza. Xiao Chun.
Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu!
What happened to your arm?
Your arm.
It's nothing, I accidentally fell.
Fell? Let me see.
Why did you sleep here all night?
What happened?
It was nothing. Something happened at home.
So I have to stay at the hospital temporarily.
I'll see if there are any empty beds in the dorm.
Don't forget to eat.

Then what Yuan Xian Department Store means is
that unless Tong Si Ji personally takes over this arrangement,
we will have the bear the losses on our own?
Yes.
Since you fired Tong Si Ji,
then you should be the one who bears this loss, right?
Director, I shouldn't be the one to bear the loss, right?
The contract was ruined by Tong Si Ji, she should be the one who bears it.
Moreover, I have already fired her.
If the company still wants to look into it, we should sue her.
Sue her for what?!
She has already got the contract back.
You're the one who didn't give her a chance. You gave her no room to even handle the situation.
If you're not the one to take responsibility, who is?
Moreover, I had taken a good look at Tong Si Ji's contract.
There were no mistakes with the numbers on the contract.
Wang Ma, can you explain how the mistake happened in the middle?
Tong Si Ji's contract went missing.
The copy you brought to her was incorrect. Was all of this a coincidence?
So, what Director Xiang means is
I have done something to the contract?
When I brought the contract to Tong Si Ji,
I've reminded her to check it again.
If Director Xiang doesn't believe me, you can ask her to come and Director can confront her about it.
You don't have to be so agitated. I am just making a logical presumption.
I can't accept a presumption like that.
If you have any evidence of me framing Tong Si Ji,
you can fire me any time.
Director, you must not be suspicious of Xia Lin.
She was already working really hard for Yuan Xian.
Tong Si Ji was indeed in charge of contact with Yuan Xian , but they're also the target client that this company gave me.
I don't have any reason to cause destruction.
To dispute any of Director Xiang's worries, I will definitely complete this contract.
If Director Xiang still wants to blame me when that time comes, then you should at least wait until I fail.
Right, right, Director Xiang.
Actually, for Yuan Xian, Xia Lin has already been working really vigorously.
We even appointed her to meet with Yuan Xian's General Manager Yi later.
You appointed her to meet with General Manager Yi?
Ah, yes.
This General Manager Yi
can really make himself look high and mighty. He's still not here yet.
General Manager, they're the representatives from Fu Kang Foods.
I am the Director of the Fu Kang's Sales Department, Xiang Yang.
General Manager Yi, we are really sorry about the mistake on the contract last time.
We have already taken internal disciplinary action against Tong Si Ji.
About the contract, see if...
I don't want to say the same thing twice.
Have I not said it clearly enough last time?
General Manager, we understand what you said.
But Tong Si Ji has already been fired by the company.
Since you understand, don't waste my time then.
- See them off. - Yes.
General Manager Yi.
Is there another matter?
Si Ji and her whole family have disappeared. Have they contacted you?
Si Ji has disappeared?
Tong Si Ji has already been fired by your Fu Kang Foods.
With what identity are you using to ask me about her whereabouts?
Even if Si Ji is no longer an employee of Fu Kang, she is still my friend.
You're her friend, but not my friend.
So, please don't discuss personal matters during my working time.
I don't want to waste my time on you.
Director Xiang.
You purposely coming with us,
is it possible that it wasn't for work, but for Tong Si Ji?
Something this big has happened at home, yet you're still wandering around out here?
Tong Xiao Chun, even if you're not outstanding, you should at least take some responsibility!
Yes. I am not outstanding, that's why this happened.
I, Tong Xiao Chun, only has stature but not brains.
Everyone looks down on me.
They despise me. I don't have any dignity to stay at home.
Tong Xiao Chun!
Even you look down on me.
Why did you come looking for me?
Hey, since you know you're in the wrong,
shouldn't you put some effort into thinking of a way to patch up your mistakes?
I know, it was because you wanted your family to live better days
and that's why you took the risk.
Xiao Chun, you're not a useless person.
You're like Gu Tong, you're a kind and talented person.
Who's Gu Tong?
Did you really pay attention when you read my novel? It's Gu Tong!
Forget it. Gu Tong is from my novel.
Gu Tong is the male lead in my novel. To tell you the truth,
it was because I met you, that I got the inspiration to write this novel.
Although Gu Tong is clumsy, he has a heart warmer than anyone else's.
That's why, when he came across the wealthy daughter, Qiao En,
he brought her back home without hesitation.
Gu Tong has also gone through a lot of difficulties.
Did he retreat? Did he run away?
He didn't.
But he... is not a real person.
Why are you so dumb?
In my heart, he is you!
Gu Tong has also been through a lot of failures,
that's why he became an extraordinary artist in the end.
So, you will be like him, of course.
Really?
A person as much of a failure as me, do you also believe that there will be a day when I succeed?
Of course.
Look at you, you're kind, you're smart, you're talented, and gentle.
You're just missing that teeny tiny bit of luck.
But, don't worry, now I'm here.
When I was in trouble, you took me in.
Now, let me protect you.
- Let's go. - Where are we going?
We're going to my house. As long as I talk to my Grandpa,
your good luck will rain down in an instant.
- Let's go. - Go-Go to your house?
Let's go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Oh, my!
Isn't this too tidy?
Is there even dust?
There must be some here!
Oh, wow!
This man must a Virgo.
Lucky bracelet?
Yeah.
Do you like it? Take it, to replace the debt.
He still has this lucky bracelet?
Why would he have such an old book?
Tong Si Ji, what are you doing in my room?
I am cleaning.
But I saw that your room is already too clean.
There is nothing to clean.
Is it clean?
There's a fingerprint here.
You touched here.
And you touched here.
Oh, my!
Fingerprint— Why can't there be fingerprints?
Fingerprints mean germs.
Are you crazy?
What have you been doing all day?
I've cleaned everywhere.
You didn't call your superior, right?
Superior?
No. What's wrong?
What are you doing?!
Button up your shirt!
What's wrong? You've already touched my body.
Have you forgotten? You were so excited, you had a nosebleed.
Who had a nosebleed?!
It hurts... Oh no, I'm having a nosebleed.
Last time, I... accidentally touched you.
I didn't see anything anyway.
Do you feel disappointed that you didn't see anything? Do you want to take another look?
You're sick.
Tong Si Ji, why did you close your eyes?
You're saying you didn't touch me? Look where your hands are.
So annoying!
Niu, Niu, Niu.
Si Ji. Si Ji!
- Grandma. - What are you doing there?
I was cooking... I am cleaning.
Grandma, where's Si Ji?
Oh. She went to clean.
Yi Yi.
Come over here. I have something to ask you.
Let me ask you, what are you trying to do by being so kind to Si Ji?
- We... - Don't tell me there's nothing.
There must be something between the two of you, just by one glance at you.
Grandma, you've misunderstood.
I don't know if I've misunderstood or not. But I need to remind you,
don't think that, just because you've helped us get through this difficulty,
you can do anything you want to Si Ji.
If I knew you did anything to Si Ji,
I wouldn't hold back with you.
Grandma He Hua, actually, to Si Ji—
It's our Si Ji who is unsuitable for you.
Take it slow.
Dad, come.
Dad, are you alright? Do you want Doctor Lin to come over?
Father.
It was all because I was too impatient.
I didn't investigate first and made you disappointed.
I am old now.
In my lifetime, will I... will I really be unable to see Kang Sheng's daughter?
Father, don't say that.
No, no. Father, it was really my mistake, my fault.
At that time, if I had told Secretary Zhao
to confirm the source of the information,
you wouldn't have had to go to England for no reason.
It really was my fault, Father.
That's why some people used this chance to lie to us.
So that they could get their own benefit.
No, this is the gods punishing me.
I have caused the death of my own son,
that's why I've lost my granddaughter.
Chairman, Young Miss has come back.
She has even brought her boyfriend back.
Boyfriend?
Grandpa, this is my boyfriend.
His name is Tong Xiao Chun.
Hui Hui, you're too unreasonable.
How am I unreasonable?
Aren't I just bringing back my boyfriend to introduce to you all?
Hui Hui!
I don't care anyway, I just have to be with Xiao Chun.
Don't any of you try to stop me.
What are you doing? What's done between us can't be undone anymore.
Are you still afraid of them knowing?
It's not what you think.
What's not what they think?
Then, what is it? Tong Xiao Chun, you—
Enough!
Hui Hui already has a fiancé.
She's only with you
because she entirely doesn't want to obey her family's wishes.
- Grandpa! - Shut up!
I—I understand.
Hui Hui is a good girl.
I—I'm the one not high enough in status to match you.
I'm sorry, I've made you all worry.
Please don't blame Hui Hui. I won't entangle myself with her anymore.
Tong Xiao Chun!
Hui Hui, your family is right. I'm not good enough for you.
Tong Xiao Chun!
What are you all of you trying to do?! Why do you have to underestimate a person like this?
Is it just because he is poor and doesn't have a prominent family background?!
Go back to your room immediately.
Go back!
I won't!
Grandpa, what was all that you just said?
- Hui Hui, hurry, hurry. - You—! Mum!
Go back, go back.
Xiao Bao.
Older Sister.
Why did you come home so late from school? Have you eaten?
I've eaten.
Xiao Bao, why did you leave just like that?
Why did you have to say those words to make Grandma upset?
Older sister knows you're a good child.
Was it because you didn't want older sister and Grandma to feel difficulty
and that's why you went to live with your mum?
He and your mum...are they good to you?
Yeah. They're quite good to me.
You and Grandma don't need to worry about me.
Here. Take the money.
Older sister will guarantee to you, once I find a place to live, I'll bring you back.
Silly child, take good care of yourself. I'm going.
Xiang Yang.
Si Ji, are you alright?
I couldn't contact you, I've been very worried.
I'm sorry, I've made you worry.
Don't keep saying sorry, it wasn't your fault.
I'm sorry.
Forget it. Do you all of you have a place to live?
Is Grandma He Hua alright?
Don't worry, I have a friend's help. I have a temporary place to live at.
Friend? It's Yi Yi, right?
That night, Grandma nearly fainted. Yi Yi came to find me coincidentally.
So, I am living at his house temporarily.
But we're already looking for a house.
When we find a house, we'll move out immediately.
Si Ji, can you not live at Yi Yi's house? I can find a house for you.
Don't misunderstand.
Yi Yi is helping me because...
Yi Yi may have other intentions toward you.
He doesn't.
He... probably doesn't have other intentions toward me.
No matter what,
it's not suitable for you to live at his house.
About the house, I can think of a solution for you.
[The Insignificant Guy]
It's Yi Yi.
- Hello? - Where did you go?
- Speak. - My friend and I...
Did you go meet Xiang Yang?
Tong Si Ji, don't forget what you've said.
I'm providing accommodations for you, you're providing labor services for me.
I need your labor services now, but you've disappeared.
Come back immediately.
I'm hungry. Cook dinner for me.
I'll come back later.
Immediately!
I'm telling you, I'm locking the door if you don't come back before 10:00 pm.
Aren't you being too senseless?
I'm not being senseless! I'm hungry!
10:00 pm or I'm locking the door!
Hello—?
Crazy.
I'm going to go in first, then.
Si Ji.
Don't forget what I've said. After I find a house,
I'll come for all of you. Yi Yi, he... just be careful of him.
Tong Si Ji is my woman. You told her to be careful of what about me?
Oh, right. It should be like this from now on, you're only allowed to smile at me.
As you can see, Tong Si Ji and I are dating right now.
She's now my woman, so please stay far away from her from now on.
What are you trying to do?!
What will Xiang Yang think?
Why are you worried about what Xiang Yang thinks?
To be worried about things that never existed!
What if it does exist? What if I do this?
Tong Si Ji, be my woman.
Why should I?
There's no why.
Because I want to protect you. Is that not enough?
- Crazy. - Si Ji!
Grandma.
Tong Si Ji.
- You and him— - Oh, Grandma...
I'm going to go shower.
Don't try to pretend.
Tell me clearly, what's with you and Yi Yi?
I... he and I...
Don't mumble.
- Are the two of you dating? - No, no, no!
No? If not, why did he kiss you?
He even emptied the whole house for you to stay here?!
I don't know either.
Si Ji, Grandma is impatient for you to find a boyfriend quickly and get married.
But, you and Yi Yi, will you two have any future together?
Have you seen his parents?
Y—Yeah, a few times.
You have?
Then, what are their characters like?
Can they accept you?
Grandma, Yi Yi and I are not what you think.
Also, he is only feeling dizzy. He will be fine after a few days.
He is feeling dizzy?
Anyway, I won't be together with him.
The two of us won't have a future. I-I'm going to go shower.
You—! Hey!
Hey, you—!
One is Yi Yi, the wealthy son of Yuan Xian Corporation.
How could Si Ji climb up to his status?
One is Xiang Yang, but he is the Cheng family's—
But, Xiang Yang's surname is not Cheng.
What really is the relationship between Xiang Yang and the Cheng family?
Tong Si Ji, be my woman.
Why should I?
There's no why.
Because I want to protect you. Is that not enough?
Who will believe you when you say it to someone else? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?
Why would our Yi Yi, for this mere ¥40,000, squabble with you?
You're even saying you're not trying to get close to him on purpose?
I think you really must have misunderstood.
You're the one who's making up misunderstandings.
From what I see, I'm afraid that even the car crash was set up by you.
Are you planning to keep avoiding me like this?
I just think, that you need to calm down a bit.
Maybe you'll know after you think through it, that you were just being stupid for one moment.
Water from your hair has dripped on to the floorboards!
What are you doing?!
Sit tight.
Give it to me!
What's with you?
What's with me?
I also want to know. Can you tell me?
Hui Hui!
Hui Hui. Hui Hui.
You lazy bug, hurry and get up.
Come have breakfast, okay?
Hui Hui, it's time to eat.
I don't want to eat! I'm going to starve myself to death.
Mum isn't trying to scold you, what kind of guy can't you choose,
that you had to choose a guy like that? He's not suitable for you.
Mum! What's wrong with Xiao Chun?
Is he a criminal or a thief?
Isn't he just a bit poor? Is that illegal?
Not only is he poor, he's unreliable too.
Say, for you to start asking for money the moment you came home, was it to pay off his debts?
Guys who depend on women for money like him,
how could Mum be reassured by letting you date him?
Mum, Xiao Chun isn't someone who lives off of women.
He is only like this because he was cheated by someone else.
- Mum. - That's even more of a reason he's useless.
How old is he already, to be cheated by someone else?
Maybe, he even cooperated with his friends to cheat you.
He really isn't someone like that!
If he had the brains to cheat people, he would have become wealthy a long time ago!
Then, he's even more unreliable.
Fine if he's poor, he's stupid too?
Xiao Chun is poor but he has high aspirations!
Sure.
At least this guy knows his limits and left you of his own accord.
Mum!
Enough, Hui Hui.
No matter how much you try to act cute with me, it's useless.
This time, mum, your dad, and grandpa are on the same side.
If you want me to approve of you dating Xiao Chun,
why don't you just end it by marrying Xiang Yang?
Isn't Xiang Yang also a poor guy?
But at least he's trustworthy.
Hui Hui, can you not always cause trouble like a little kid?
When you weren't home a while back, Mum was really worried about you.
You didn't even go for your periodic check-up at the hospital.
I won't die by not going for one of my periodic check-ups.
Hui Hui, can you be obedient?
Your grandpa's health is not like as it was before anymore.
A while back, he went overseas to find your uncle's daughter.
In the end, it was fruitless.
After he came back, he's felt troubled and sad.
Can you spend some more time with your grandpa and talk to him more?
He never found her after so long,
why won't he give up?
Alright, alright.
Quickly get up and eat.
I'll put your breakfast here. Be good.
Freaking Xiao Chun, stinking Xiao Chun!
You said that you would work hard for me.
In the end, you ran away with your tail between your legs, didn't you?
What should I do? If Yi Yi appears later, what should I say?
- Si Ji. - Grandma.
Si Ji, I need to go out to do something. I'll come back later.
Grandma, where are you going?
How about I go with you?
No need, no need. I can go by myself.
Oh, right. Si Ji, go out and look for a house when you have the time.
This is not a solution for us, to keep living here.
I understand. Don't worry.
I'm going to go then.
Be careful on the road.
Okay.
Why did Grandma He Hua go out?
Your breakfast is done. I'm going to go work then.
Are you not eating breakfast before you work?
You should eat even if you're not any busier.
I've already eaten.
If you've eaten, you can watch me eat.
Don't you think, watching me eat is something very fulfilling?
Ridiculous.
What are you planning to do at home today?
There is a lot for me to do.
Clean and get rid of... the fingerprints in your room.
Also, finding a house.
What else?
And miss me.
Crazy guy.
Don't spend too much time missing me. I'll come back really soon.
[Fu Kang]
Hello, Fu Kang Foods. May I ask, whom you're looking for?
Okay. I'll connect the call immediately for you.
Hello, is there a matter?
I'm looking for Liang Wen.
Are you looking for our General Manager Liang?
Did you make an appointment?
