The Lover's Lies
Episode 21
Hello, Fu Kang Foods. May I ask, whom you're looking for?
Alright. 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?
Appointment for what?
Just tell him, He Hua is looking for him.
Tell him to come out quickly.
Grandmother, if you didn't make an appointment,
I can't possibly arrange for you to meet out General Manager Liang.
Why do you have so much to say?
I told you to find Liang Wen. Otherwise, I'll go find him myself.
How about making an appointment first and then come back?
- Why are you-- - What has happened?
Madam, this elder wants to meet with General Manager Liang.
Elder, is there a reason you're looking for General Manager Liang?
Madam, let me handle this.
Bring this elder to the Meeting Room first.
Elder, this way, please.
Please.
This way, please.
Do you know this elderly woman?
She is one of the family members of an employee that was fired yesterday.
She probably came looking for some money today.
- Take good care of it then. - Rest assured, I will. This way.
This way, please.
Lian Xin didn't say anything when she saw her, right?
It's good I found out quickly. They didn't have much interaction.
Are you sure nobody saw my Mum?
It should only be the receptionist.
Who's the man talking to Secretary Zhao?
He's General Manager Liang, the Chairman's son-in-law.
Isn't that Si Ji's grandma?
Mum, why did you come here?
What?
For you to bring me to the Meeting Room so hurriedly,
are you afraid that someone would see?
How about I wait outside first?
You're really afraid of someone seeing.
Mum, I've heard about what happened to the house.
Are you alright?
Where are you living now? If you're willing to,
I'll immediately ask Secretary Zhao to find a house for you.
No need.
I came today just to ask you,
what's the relationship between Xiang Yang and the Cheng family?
So it's for this.
He is actually a child that was brought back by Chairman.
He was raised by the Cheng family.
Mum, I was really shocked when you appeared at the Cheng family house.
Of course, you would be surprised.
A son-in-law like you who told everyone else that both of your parents are dead.
That's why, you must have been wildly afraid when I appeared at the Cheng family house, right?
Mum.
Can you not listen to me?
The reason I used that tact
was only to avenge my Father.
I want to get justice for us, the Liang family.
No need.
Keep those words of yours to explain to your father when you go beyond the grave.
I haven't seen you as my son from long ago.
Mum, you hate the Cheng family so much, hate me so much.
Do you know, a while back, Tong Si Ji
was working at Fu Kang Foods.
Don't be so exaggerated!
Si Ji doesn't even know of my hatred between the Cheng family and me.
Don't worry.
I won't let Si Ji step into Fu Kang Foods.
I will also never let Cheng Ding Xiong hurt my family again!
Mum!
Grandmother! Grandmother!
Please wait a moment.
Grandmother, I am Si Ji's coworker.
My name is Xia Lin.
We met at the hospital.
I wonder if you still remember me.
Is there a matter?
It's like this,
I know that Si Ji has been fired by the company.
I also heard that something has happened in her family.
I don't know if she's living well now.
Where is she living now?
Our Si Ji is fine.
Thank you for you concern.
Grandmother, I want to ask,
is Si Ji living at Yi Yi's house right now?
How do you know Yi Yi?
I kept hearing Si Ji mentioning Yi Yi, so...
This brat,
she even said she has no relations with Yi Yi.
Then, Si Ji is really living at Yi Yi's house?
Aren't you caring about her too much?
Are there other issues?
No.
Si Ji is really living at Yi Yi's house.
A new restaurant opened downstairs. I heard it's not bad.
Really?
Unconscientious.
I've raised you since you were young.
You've kicked me away because you don't want to suffer?
Don't you always call me a burden?
You...!
Does he even let you live with your mum?
You don't even have a bit of integrity.
Don't mind me anymore.
Without me, you and Older Sister can live better.
Since I am eating and living well with my Mum,
everything is good.
Fine.
I've raised you for nothing.
Just live in contentment with your mum.
In the future, don't coming back to me crying.
When that time comes, I won't care whether you live or die!
Ignorant brat, keep on living well if you're so great.
Eat if you want, sleep if you want!
Grow up well!
Come, Niu.
Let's see who's here.
Have some tea.
Why are you living at Yi Yi's house?
I am only living here temporarily.
Are you being his housemaid?
Because it's improper for me to live off of him with no returns.
- So... - Does Auntie know?
Does she know you're living at his house?
I'm already looking for a house.
When I find one, I'll move out immediately.
Xia Lin, is there a matter for you to come here today?
Auntie told me to come here.
She told me to take good care of Yi Yi while she's on her business trip.
- You and Yi Yi... - There's no need for me to explain my relationship with Yi Yi, is there?
Niu, why are you crying?
She is...?
She is my Younger Sister's daughter.
Younger sister's daughter? Is it Xiao Dong?
I'm sorry, Xia Lin. I'm going to change Niu's diaper.
Can I hold her?
Sure. Here.
Let Auntie Xia Lin hold you.
Niu, don't you think Auntie Xia Lin is so pretty?
Your name is Niu, right?
I'm your Aunt Xiao Xia.
Do you know?
Alright, alright, alright. Niu, don't cry.
If she's your younger sister's daughter, why are you taking care of her?
My Younger Sister has divorced.
It's inconvenient for her to work while raising a child.
Xiao Dong has divorced?
She's only how old? How could she already divorce?
How do you how old my Younger Sister is?
I was just guessing.
Yeah, she got married really early.
Because she got married early, she divorced.
Okay, okay, darling. Don't cry.
Why are you crying again?
Are you hungry?
Xia Lin, I'm going to make some milk formula for Niu.
Can you look after her for a while for me?
Sure, go ahead.
Okay.
Niu, auntie has gone to make milk for you.
Don't cry. Be good.
Don't cry, don't cry.
Why are you still crying?
I'm going to get some toys for you.
Toys... toys...
Isn't this the picture that Mum gave Si Ji?
Mum...
Who is this man with Mum in this picture?
Xia Lin, thank you.
Go ahead with your work. I'm going to leave first.
So quickly? I'll see you out.
There's no need.
I'm more familiar with Yi Yi's house than you are.
Oh, right.
I advise you to move out sooner.
If Auntie knew you're living here,
she will be very unhappy.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With the Shirt Team @ Viki
Hello? Auntie.
I'm Xia Lin.
There's something... I don't know if I should tell you about.
Tong Si Ji is living at your house right now.
- Hello, do you know where Number 34 is? - It's there.
There?
Miss, do you know where Number 34 is?
- It's that side. - That side?
Thank you.
We'll rent a few more offices next time, just like last time.
Then, we'll hire a few more people and get some big tickets.
Sure, Brother Jia. I'll toast one to you.
Jia Fu! How unfortunate it is that I see you as my best friend.
But you're drinking and eating well here!
You don't care for my wellbeing either!
You bastard, I—!
I'm telling you, Jia Fu, give me back my money, otherwise—
- Otherwise what? - I'll shred you up!
Just you alone? You dare?!
You bastard!
Why aren't you acting yet?!
Keep pretending! Keep pretending!
If grandmother sees me, will she be against us being together?
If she knew I divorced and also have a 10 years old daughter,
- say... - What are you afraid of? Aren't I—?
What I mean is, it's Uncle who kept wanting to see Grandma.
If Uncle is afraid, let's not meet her then.
Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong, you—
Is Uncle afraid?
- I'm kidding with you. - Look at you, you made me so scared, I'm drenched in sweat.
Okay, okay, okay.
My Grandma, although she has a sharp mouth, she is actually really kind.
Hearing you say that, I feel more reassured.
As long as you feel determined, it's fine.
Why have they stopped working?
They're probably resting.
How could they be resting?
My Grandma and Older Sister especially love money.
At my age, it's my first time seeing the dumpling store closed.
- Uncle. - Xiao Dong.
- Where's my Grandma? - Your grandma and they have already moved. You didn't know?
- Moved away? How could they have moved away? - Yeah.
Your grandma's house has been mortgaged.
- It's already been taken away. House rents are so expensive. - Mortgaged?
I'm guessing she probably couldn't pay the house rent.
I'm going to go.
What's going on?
Hurry and call your older sister to ask about it.
Oh, right. Older Sister.
Hello?
Hello, Older Sister?
It's me, it's me.
Where are you right now?
[Emergency Center]
Xiao Chun! Xiao Chun!
Hurry, let me take a look!
How are your injuries? Let me see—
Don't come close to me! Leave!
Let me see! Let me see! Hurry!
Tong Xiao Chun!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Let me take a look.
Fine. You're not letting me see, is that right?
Do you believe that I'm going to hit you a second time?
Your injuries are that serious?
Brother Xiang Yang, why did you bring her here?
Do you know how much effort I put into coming here?
If Xiang Yang didn't help me, how could I have gotten out of that house?
You're now trying to hide from me?
Brother Xiang Yang helped you?
Why?
The two of you... did the two of you already know each other?
15 years ago, after I parted with all of you,
Hui Hui's grandfather took me in.
So, the two of you are living together?!
Th-Then, why did you two pretend not to know each other?
That's not right.
Wait, something doesn't seem right.
Last time, at your Grandfather's house,
he said, you have a fiancé. It can't be Brother Xiang Yang, right?
Don't overthink.
Anyway, this isn't what's important.
What's important is, that nobody can decide how my life goes now.
It really is... Brother Xiang Yang.
Enough.
Don't think of all these unnecessary things.
You still owe me an explanation.
You said, that we're going to face it together. Why did you run away?
How could I not run?
I was originally bad enough. I didn't think my opponent...
would be Brother Xiang Yang. What he has is a prestigious background
and I only have... a shadow.
How could I not give up?
Who told you to give up?
I'm sorry. Does it hurt a lot?
Look, I didn't lower my head to destiny.
Why did you?
You can't retreat.
Xiang Yang, there's no love between you and I, there's no need for any more confirmation, right?
Also, I know, the one you like is Sister Si Ji.
So, for each of our happiness, you must be the support for me and Xiao Chun.
- What do you mean? - Give me money. I'm going to elope with Xiao Chun.
- What? - What "what"?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sory, I'm sorry.
Give me money!
Hurry!
Uncle, look at this decoration, look at this television.
There's even a 3D feature.
It can be controlled with a phone.
Uncle, we don't need to go to the cinema to watch movies then.
Let's get one at our house.
- Be more polite. - Be polite for what?
This place is going to be my Older Sister's house from now on.
Older Sister, you've won the jackpot this time.
Don't babble. What jackpot?
Yi Yi is my friend. His house coincidentally had free rooms,
so he let me stay here for a few days.
Right, you didn't tell me that you were moving.
You didn't even top off your phone bill.
Do you know how worried I was for you?
Wasn't it just because I was too busy and forgot?
Haven't I come to tell you now?
Xiao Dong, it's your fault for making people in your family worried about you.
Apologize to your older sister.
Uncle.
If I apologize to my Older Sister,
my Older Sister will think that the sun is going to rise from the West.
Right, this is...
Older Sister, this is my boyfriend, Uncle Lao Pi.
Hello.
Look at my memory.
I said I was going to buy formula for Niu. I forgot to bring money.
I'll go buy it later, Grandma.
Look who came.
You must be Grandmother He Hua, right?
Hello, I am Xiao Dong's friend.
My name is Lao Pi.
Lao Pi? (old skin)
Your skin is indeed a bit old.
Grandma, this is my boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
Hey, you... how old are you?
I'm 38 years old.
I'm not that young, but I'm still in my prime.
Prime?
You're more than 10 years older than our Xiao Dong.
- Grandma. - Am I wrong?
No— you're already 38 years old,
why are you still single?
It can't be because... you have some kind of illness, right?
I... I won't hide it from you all.
I've divorced once, I have a 10 year old son.
Y—You've divorced once?
You even have a son?
I...
I understand, for a young lady like Xiao Dong,
she has been living a difficult life with me.
Grandma, I will accept your dissatisfactions with me.
Xiao Dong has told me,
she has been raised by you with difficulty since she was young.
It's reasonable for you to be worried and to fret about her.
I am being sincere towards Xiao Dong.
Perhaps, toward my age,
toward my past, you might have some doubts.
But I will definitely let you understand with my efforts,
that I am a mature man.
I am certainly serious about matters regarding feelings.
You have finally found one that can speak well.
Grandma, actually, we came here this time because Uncle requested it.
I was originally afraid you would get angry,
but Uncle said, that for us to be together,
we must first get your approval.
Of course. About that, his skin (Pi)...
- It's Lao Pi. - Right.
Lao Pi is more reliable than you.
That's right, Grandma. I forgot to ask you, why is your house gone?
Don't ask. It was a waste of effort.
Aren't we living under someone else's roof now?
Xiao Dong, don't worry anymore.
Older sister is already looking for a house.
How about this,
Xiao Dong and I will be on the lookout in our area.
I also have a friend working as an estate agent.
When we go back, I'll call him to tell him to look around.
Really? That's great.
It's just that, this house must be more on the cheaper end.
I will tell Xiao Dong to take a look.
After all, about which house is more suitable for you all,
she will understand more about it.
Thank you in advance.
Older Sister, no need be polite.
You're Xiao Dong's family, so you're also my family.
Uncle is the best to me.
Thank you.
Hui Hui, I think you should go back with me.
I don't want to.
If I go back with you now, Grandpa will definitely force us to get married.
Hui Hui, there will be other ways.
There are no other ways.
If there were, why would I have been running all my life?
Fine. You say it then, what other ways are there?
I will take care of it.
I don't dare expect anything from you.
Xiao Chun, let's go.
Does it hurt?
Brother Xiang Yang, do you have news of my Older Sister now?
Si Ji and Grandma He Hua...
are now living in Yi Yi's house.
Living in Yi Yi's house?
Why is Older Sister Si Ji living in Yi Yi's house?
Cheng Xiang Yang, continue pretending to be aloof and pure.
There will be one day when you push Sister Si Ji away to someone else.
Let's go.
Which one is it?
Let's take a look.
Does it hurt a lot?
I—I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Look at you, why did you have to fight with someone else?
It's great now, you're filthy from head to toe.
You didn't become a hero, rather you got beaten, right?
Hui Hui.
You...
Do you really like me?
Tong Xiao Chun, would anybody ask, like you?
You don't really like me, right?
Maybe, it's just like what your Grandfather said,
you're only trying to avoid your family,
- that's why... - Tong Xiao Chun.
Whether I like you or not,
do you not know?
You're a wealthy daughter, like a princess,
and I don't even have an official job.
Why would you like me?
Actually, I don't know if I really like you.
But I know, when I'm with you,
I feel really happy, really content, and free.
Your family too, Sister Si Ji, Xiao Qiu, Xiao Bao, Xiao Dong. They're all really different from my family.
Grandma too. Although Grandma is always yelling at me,
I actually don't feel any annoyance with her at all.
Although your family is not rich,
so many people are stuffed into living in one house,
yet it's really warm.
Although, there are endless arguments each day,
comparably, there is much, much more laughter.
Rather than saying... rather than saying, that I like you,
why not say, I like your family more.
So... you don't like me,
but you like my family?
Tong Xiao Chun, are you dumb?
What I meant was... it might be because
of your family, that I like you more.
Hui Hui, so it's because you like me,
that's why you like my family?
Oh, that's not right.
It's because you like my family, so you like me?
- Hui Hui, tell me... - Tong Xiao Chun!
Tong Xiao Chun, you—!

Older Sister, we'll start looking out for houses when we go back.
We'll contact you if we have any news.
Xiao Dong will be in your care then.
Okay.
Stop the car!
She has really made this her own home.
- You've sent them off? - Yes, I've just sent them off.
Grandma, I think Lao Pi is quite a good person, he's honest.
He does have a good character.
But, his age is a bit high.
But I think, he and Xiao Dong are quite a good match.
How are they a good match?
No matter what, Xiao Dong is a newly bloomed flower.
Doesn't she—?
Si Ji, say, has Xiao Dong told Lao Pi about having Niu?
It looks like he doesn't know.
It must be because of me.
In the beginning, if I cared about her more,
she wouldn't have gotten into things so impulsively and had a child.
If you say that, you should blame me.
How was it your fault?
Don't keep pulling everything on to yourself.
After Xiao Dong had Niu,
when has she taken the responsibility of being a mother?
What are you doing at my house?!
Auntie.
Chairman's Madam.
Si Ji, who is this?
- This is... - Who am I?
I am the madam of this house.
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
It was because we...Yi Yi, he...
How brave of you?
You told me last time, that you had no interest in our Yi Yi.
While I was gone, you walked boldly through my house's door,
pretending to be the madam of the house?
You even invited your friends into my house and drank tea.
No, no, no. Please don't misunderstand.
It was because something has happened in our family,
that's why Yi Yi took us in to stay a few days.
Took you in?
Are you a beggar or are you a vagrant, to have someone else take you in?
You should speak more politely.
Who is a beggar?
If Yi Yi didn't beg us, I would never have lived here.
Grandma, don't say any more.
Get out immediately. Get out!
We'll get out then. Who's going to stay?
Don't even know your place.
You don't even know how to respect your elders.
With a house like this, I don't fancy living here anyway.
Si Ji, let's leave.
Seriously.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Bag...
- Photo... - Here.
Photo's... back...
[Chang Hong Road, Building 41]
Go... go find...
Xia Lin! Xia Lin, let me tell you,
I just found the newest disc of Bishōjo. Do you want to watch with me?
Xia Lin?
Xia Lin!
What are you doing?
- Who is this? - This is my Mum.
Your mum? I've never seen this picture.
- Then... the man beside her must be your father, right? - He's not.
I don't know who this man beside her is either.
He's not?
More likely than not, he's your mother's first love.
[Chang Hong Road, Building 41]
Chairman's Madam.
About what happened just then, I'm really sorry.
I don't want to hear your rubbish.
Listen to me clearly.
My son is the heir of Yuan Xian Corporation.
He's not someone whom women like you can match with.
If you have even half a bit of desire for my son, I advise you to give up on that as soon as possible.
What do you mean by that?
Are you trying to say, our Si Ji is trying to get close to your son?
Grandma.
Obviously.
Go ask your son, whether he's the one tangling himself with Si Ji.
Grandma.
Let me tell you, with a mother like you,
we really don't have any interest.
What did you say?
What's wrong? I'm willing to say what I want.
- Grandma. - Si Ji.
Mum? Why did you come back early?
If I didn't come back, how much longer did you want these two people to sponge off our house?
Who's sponging off? Who did you say was sponging off?
Grandma.
Si Ji, why are you leaving?
Since Auntie is back, it's inconvenient for us to disturb you.
Grandma and I should go first.
No way. The two of you can't leave.
Did you see? Isn't your son the one tangling with our Si Ji?
- Grandmother. - Yi Yi.
I'm telling you, if you won't let them go today, I will—
Do you still see me as your mother?
Mum.
Si Ji is my friend, she's just borrowing a room at our house for a few days.
No way! Not even one day!
This is my house. Get out immediately.
- Yi Yi. - Mum.
Since you're so determined to make them leave,
I'll take them to live in my house in Jiang Bei.
Yi Yi!
Have you gone crazy?!
Tong Si Ji, was this your plan?
Si Ji, Grandmother, let's go.
Stop!
You can't go anywhere.
I'll give you three days to find a house
and get out of my house immediately.
Wow, what should I do? I don't want to live here now.
I just want to live at Yi Yi's house. It might even be more comfortable there than here.
Grandma.
Mum, for you to let Si Ji stay here
might really be inconvenient. I'm still going to take them to stay at my house.
No way. If they're going to stay, they'll stay here.
- You're begging us to stay here now? - You—!
Mum. Don't worry, I'll get their house arranged as soon as I can.
Grandma, I'll take you upstairs.
Tong Si Ji.
I really didn't think you would be so strategic.
I have underestimated you.
Auntie... Chairman's Madam, I will move out the moment I find a house.
I'm sorry.
Come in.
General Manager Liang, he has arrived.
Please take a seat.
You are... Yi Zheng Hua, right?
No. I am not.
You've got the wrong person.
- Please sit down. - What are you doing?
What are you trying to do?
Do you know,
you and Yuan Xian Corporation's Yi Zheng Hua have the exact same face?
I don't understand what you're saying.
If Yuan Xian Corporation's Yi Zheng Hua sees you,
I wonder what reaction he would have.
Why did you fight with your mother for me?
It was my fault, to stay here without her approval in the first place.
Even if you want to go, it won't be tonight.
It's so late already, where do you want to take Grandmother and Niu?
- I will think of a way myself. - What could you think of?
Are you going to sleep on the street again?
Grandmother, stay here for tonight.
- About the house, I will think of something. - Yi Yi!
Stay here in the room. You're not allowed to go out.
- Grandma. - Yi Yi is right.
Even if we're going to go, we can't go now.
But Yi Yi's mother is already very angry now.
Let her be angry. I'm just going to stay here and not go. I'll see what she can do.
- Grandma! - Si Ji, even if we're not fighting for food, we should fight for vindication.
Since she looks at us in a negative way, we can't let things go as she expects.
- Grandma! - Enough, enough.
What do you really want to do?
Mum, didn't I already tell you?
Something has happened in Si Ji's family. I brought them here because of an emergency.
An emergency?
Where can't she go, that she has to sponge off you?
Mum! She's not sponging off of me. I'm the one who brought her here.
Have you gone crazy? Why do you have to stick to that woman?
Yi Yi, don't tell you that you like her.
Say something. Do you like that girl?
I might not like her.
It's that I really like her.
Hello, Sister Si Ji? I'm Hui Hui.
Hui Hui?
I've found Xiao Chun. He's with me right now.
Is he alright? Where did he go for the past few days?
He went to find Jia Fu to get the house back.
But, rather than that, he got beaten up by that guy.
He's injured? Is it serious?
He's alright. It's just some external injuries. It doesn't hinder him.
That's good, then. Hui Hui, look after Xiao Chun for me.
Don't let him get impulsive again.
Don't worry.
Sister Si Ji, how are you all? What about Grandma?
Things are not that great on my side. There are some little troubles.
- We have to find a house. - Do you need my help?
It's fine. I've already asked a friend and Xiao Dong to look for me.
When I find one, I'll contact you.
If you need help, you must tell me.
Take good care, let's keep in contact.
Grandma, what's wrong?
Are you unwell?
Here, sit down.
I must have angered Yi Yi's mother too much.
My stomach has been hurting all night.
Grandma, Hui Hui called me just now. She's with Xiao Chun.
Those two bad kids... where have they gone now?
Xiao Chun went to find Jia Fu. He got hurt from being hit.
That brat, he should get hit.

♫ There are too many words I can't say aloud ♫
♫ The courage of love holds the gentleness of you and I tightly ♫
♫ Keep it intact ♫
