The Lover's Lies
Episode 28
Yi Yi.
Forgive Mother.
Of course, I have to forgive you.
Because you are my Mother.
I will forgive you.
[ Hotel Sukko Suzhou ]
Coming!
Someone told me to give this to Miss Tong Si Ji.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
Who was looking for me?
Sister Si Ji, this is for you.
House ownership deed?
It's the dumpling store and the house we used to live in.
Who... who bought them back for us?
Sister Si Ji!
Why don't you rest a few more days at home?
I could bring the company's documents and contracts to you to look at.
Yi Yi.
Yi Yi. Grandma's house ownership deed,
what's going on with this?
Guan Yu, did Yi Yi do this?
This... I don't know.
Yes. I told Guan Yu to buy it back for you all.
Why? You said that you wanted to break up with me,
but why did you still do so much for me?
Tong Si Ji, do you still not understand?
This is the breakup fee I'm giving you. Now, can you not disturb me anymore?
I don't believe you! Yi Yi! Although you hurt me with words again and again,
I stil don't believe that this is all real!
Tong Si Ji! Do you have to make it sound worse?!
General Manager!
Yi Yi, have you already forgotten? The words that you once said to me.
Yi Yi.
Guan Yu, get in the car!
What's going on?
Si Ji, are you feeling down?
I'm not. Why have you come?
I came because of the house issue.
You and Grandma can't keep living at the hotel after all.
About the house issue, thank you.
Actually, we are planning to move back to Grandma's house.
Isn't Grandma He Hua's house gone?
It was Yi Yi who bought the house back for us.
I have decided to move back,
since this is the house that Grandma lived in all of her life.
It's her heart and soul. About the money used to buy the house back,
I will think of a way to give it back to Yi Yi.
Then, how much do you need? I can—
You can't. This is between me and Yi Yi.
I must solve it by myself.
Si Ji, I hope that you can use some courage.
Love has always been like this.
Short-lived happiness can't stay with you for the rest of your life.
You must learn to forget it and start your life again.
That's why, I want to move back to live at Grandma's house.
Life must go on.
This is the sad truth.
I must face it by myself.
Since you've decided to start a new life,
then come and develop flavor packets with me.
But my coffee truck just started business again.
It still isn't completely on track yet. I'm afraid--
I'm not telling you to give up on the coffee truck. You can continue doing business in the day time.
Just think of this as a part-time job, to give me some creative ideas and opinions.
I am not helping you for no reason. It's because I see your talent in cooking.
Xiang Yang, I can't owe you any more favors.
I came to find you for your talent, not out of pity.
Before, your scheme when you were at the company was only half completed. Do you not want to complete it?
Of course, I want to.
But...
Focusing on work is the best way to get over a breakup.
Don't hesitate anymore. He has already moved forward.
Do you want to keep standing in the same place?
Listen to me. Come and develop flavor packets with me.
About the contract with Yuan Xian from before,
I know you took the blame for someone else.
After I investigate that thoroughly, I'll ask you to come back.
Thank you, Xiang Yang.
No need to thank me. As long as you let me see
the Tong Si Ji, who always smiles more brightly than the sun,
that is the best gift to me.
Now, can you give me a cup of coffee?
Of course, I can.
Then, what do you want to drink?
Signature Si Ji Coffee.
General Manager, stop drinking.
Your injuries are not entirely healed.
If Chairman's Madam knows I watched you drink alcohol,
she will kill me.
General Manager, what is going on with you and Si Ji?
Didn't you buy a ring in preparation to propose to her?
What is going on...?
I also want someone to tell me.
I shouldn't have fallen in love with Tong Si Ji.
I was wrong from the beginning.
I was wrong, I was wrong.
Don't drink anymore, don't drink.
This isn't right, it isn't right.
When I was young,
I shouldn't have met Unlucky Ghost.
I shouldn't have given her all of my luck.
I was wrong, I was wrong!
This is bad, this is bad. Chairman's Madam is calling!
Tell her, she has ruined everything of mine.
Is she satisfied? Is she satisfied?!
Alright. I'll go pick up the call outside.
He's crazy.
What are you doing?
What?
Don't you know how to apologize?
Do you want to fight?
We'll fight, what about it?!
What's going on?! Stop! Don't hit him anymore!
He just had surgery! He is injured!
He came to look for a fight instead of treating his injuries at home.
Forget it, let's go.
Are you alright?
General Manager, why do you have to torture yourself like this?
Guan Yu, have I died?
Why have I not died yet?
- Why... - General Manager.
Why am I still not dead?
Let go of me.
Careful. Sit down first.
Don't mind me.
Sit down first.
Oh, my. What's going on? Why did he drink so much?
Why has he gotten hurt too?
This... was because General Manager was looking for a fight.
Go back first.
But...
It's alright, just go back. I am here.
What are you trying to do?
You lost one Tong Si Ji, you didn't lose the whole world.
You at your awkward state now!
I have already lost the whole world!
When you told me Tong Si Ji is my older sister,
I already lost the whole world.
Can you please pull yourself together?
You... you... what have you done?
If your father knows about this, what will we do?
You will wreck this family.
This family...
Is this family still a family?
Everything will pass.
We can still be like how we were in the past and not say anything.
Not say anything... not say anything...
Tong Si Ji is Father's daughter.
How can I pretend not to know?
You... listen to mum,
Mum will take care of Si Ji's issue accordingly.
Mum will definitely not mistreat Si Ji.
Right now, what's most important for you is to treat your injuries.
In the future, no matter who you want to be with, Mum will approve of it.
I'm begging you, please.
Just forget Si Ji.
You liar!
What ruckus are you making?
Zheng Hua.
Yi Yi, when are you going to stop letting yourself fall apart?
It's fine, I'll just talk with him.
Zheng Hua.
It's alright. Let him vent.
He will get better.
You're Tong Xiao Chun, right?
I am Tong Xiao Chun.
Secretary Zhao called.
He especially told us to take good care of you.
Come with me.
Everyone, stop for a moment.
Secretary Zhao said especially
for us to take good care of him.
- Got it? - Yes!
At least I still have Hui Hui's lunchbox made with love.
Chairman.
Is this lunch made by Hui Hui?
This brat has never stepped into the kitchen since she was young.
She knows how to cook?
It doesn't taste that good, but it's Hui Hui's goodwill.
I've never tasted Hui Hui's cooking.
Chairman, would you like to try some?
Hui Hui knows that I eat a lot, so she made two portions for me.
Does it taste that bad?
I think, it's still alright.
Is it hard working at the storage?
It's not. Since it's for Hui Hui, I'm willing even if it gets harder.
There will be one day when I'll make Chairman take notice of me.
What I meant was, I won't let Hui Hui and you become disappointed in me.
Please take a look.
Grandpa, why did you send Xiao Chun to work at the storage?
I said to arrange for him to work at the company,
I didn't say what position I would be giving him.
Grandpa, you obviously did this on purpose!
Hui Hui, what foolish manner is this?
I allowed Xiao Chun's work arrangements.
Since he is going to come work with an open-mind,
how could he pick what he wants and choose easy work to do?
Xiao Chun isn't trying to choose easier work to do. It's me who can't bear watching.
Grandpa, you're just trying to make it hard for him.
Don't think that I don't know.
Xiao Chun has nothing to say about it, why are you getting anxious?
Anyway, Grandpa, you're not trying to nurture him.
This... this is abuse.
Hui Hui, then do you know what work they do at the storage?
They carry things.
Storage is responsible for stockpiling inventory,
yields, payments, deliveries, entering all that into the computer
to make the storage report so that other departments can use it as a reference.
This is not an easy job.
I don't care anyway! Grandpa must transfer Xiao Chun to a better job position.
Hui Hui!
Then you tell me, with Xiao Chun's current education and abilities,
what is a suitable place for him to work in?
Hui Hui, not only do your actions today not help Xiao Chun,
they might even hinder his progress.
You should encourage Xiao Chun so that he keeps striding forward.
If he can grab onto this opportunity
and make some achievements, Grandpa will adjust his position accordingly.
Does Father really mean to nurture Tong Xiao Chun?
Our house.
Si Ji,
it's our house.
Yes, Grandma.
We're home.
Good, good. Let's go home. Let's go home.
Children, let's go home.
Let's go.
This is still the best place. Although it's still old and small,
it's still warm. Right?
Grandma, tonight,
you will definitely get a very, very, very peaceful sleep.
Yes.
Since we moved out of this small house,
I've never slept a night of stable sleep.
Husband, when I come to find you, I will have some dignity at least.
Grandma.
Grandma, on such a happy day, how can you say something like that?
Right, right. I shouldn't say that.
Si Ji-ah, the money used to buy the house...
Grandma, don't worry. I will think of a solution for the money.
Grandma, Older Sister. This was trouble that I made.
That's why we nearly lost the house forever. I am sorry to everyone.
This can't be entirely blamed on you.
Grandma was also in the wrong too.
No, no, no, Grandma. This must be blamed on him!
If it weren't because your brain is so muddled, how could you have been cheated by Jia Fu?
I'll see if you still dare to it in the future.
If it wasn't because of that annoying Jia Fu,
would our Xiao Chun have gotten cheated?
Grandma, this isn't right.
I am helping you punish Xiao Chun, why are you scolding me?
I can punish my own grandson, I have no need to trouble you.
Grandma, you're spoiling him.
Say a few words less. Grandma just loves me too dearly.
- Keep on dreaming! - Keep on dreaming!
I finally get to see Grandma and Hui Hui arguing again.
This is good.
Older Sister, don't you think that Hui Hui looks more like Grandma's grandchild than us?
- Nonsense! - Nonsense! - See!
I don't! I'm not like Grandma. She loves getting angry so much.
I'm not like her, I'm not like her.
I just don't have the blessing to be your grandma.
We've been waiting for so long. Why is Xiao Bao still not out yet?
Grandma, don't be anxious yet. Xiao Bao will come out later.
Xiao Bao!
You little brat, are you really going to leave Grandma now?
Xiao Bao, we've come to bring you home.
Let's go, let's go home.
Aunt.
Aunt, I know, you still care about Xiao Bao quite a lot.
Of course, I have to care about Xiao Bao. I'm not assured about you.
Have you ever cared about Xiao Bao since he was young?
Have you ever fulfilled a bit of your responsibility as his mother?
Aunt, look at what you're saying.
Don't I also... have my own difficulties?
You have difficulties, do I not have difficulties too?
Did I give birth to Xiao Bao?
His father doesn't care and his mother doesn't love a good child like him.
If it wasn't for Xiao Bao looking pitiful, why would I bring myself the trouble?
The child must have suffered quite a bit here.
Look at him, he has thinned down a whole lot already.
But you've eaten so much your face is covered in oil.
Aunt, look at what you're saying.
Xiao Bao is my son. How could I mistreat him?
Enough. I don't want to hear your excuses.
I came to tell you today, I'm taking Xiao Bao away.
Aunt Hua Zhi, it's like this.
We bought Grandma's house back again.
If you're not against it, we want to bring Xiao Bao back for him to continue living there.
Xiao Bao, Ma is not stopping you from living here.
Ma, I also want to go back with Grandma.
Right? Let's go.
Let's go, let's go back home with grandma.
Xiao Bao! Tell me honestly, did Ma treat you badly?
Say it, we, mother and son have just reunited, why do you—
You didn't mistreat me.
I just think, compared with you, I like being with Grandma more.
Good. Good kid.
Let's go. Let's go home with grandma now.
- Let's go. Let's go. - Xiao Bao, you—
Aunt Hua Zhi.
Don't worry, we'll take good care of Xiao Bao.
In the future, you can come to visit him if you miss Xiao Bao.
That stinking brat, he just doesn't like me!
Why would I visit him?
He's just gotten used to living with Grandma.
He actually still really cares about you.
Then, I'm going to go first.
[ Emergency Center ]
Hui Hui, when are you willing to come home?
When you all are willing to accept Xiao Chun, then I will come back by myself.
Don't think I don't know what all of you think.
Although Grandpa accepts Xiao Chun superficially, letting him enter the company,
in reality, he told him to go work at the storage.
What is that?
Letting him work at the storage is already favoring him.
Mum really doesn't understand, Hui Hui,
were your eyes left behind when I gave birth to you?
How could you like that kind of boy?
Mum, what are you saying?
What's wrong with Xiao Chun?
He's honest and kind.
Also, let me tell you, he's an artist. He makes a really good ship-in-a-bottle.
Hey, hey, hey. Will an artist feed you?
Moreover, Mother has never seen such a barbaric artist.
Forget it, forget it. None of you understand my love.
Don't say that you understand me from now on.
- Hui Hui. - Aunt.
It's Hui Hui's turn.
Aunt, why did you ask me to come for a health checkup with Hui Hui so suddenly?
A routine health checkup is your grandfather's habit. Hui Hui ran away last time,
so we especially had to arrange for a checkup this time.
We also asked you to come to do one since we were coming anyway.
So that's how it is.
But I'm not Grandfather's biological granddaughter.
Will that be exposed after this health checkup?
Just be rest assured and go for the health checkup.
I will arrange it carefully at the hospital, you won't be exposed.
Director Liang must have made his arrangements.
This morning, there is a meeting for new unit evaluations.
At 2 pm in the afternoon, the President of Shi Jing from Hong Kong will come for a visit.
At 4 pm, we have a meeting with Li Pin's Director Xiang.
Mr. Yi, this is the coffee that we arranged for.
Tonight, there's a dinner at the Yu Ying Hotel.
General Manager, how about I buy a cup of coffee for you?
No need. You don't need to prepare coffee for me anymore.
General Manager!
Hello, General Manager.
I saw a bag yesterday,
it was really pretty. Also, the price—
Where did the floor supervisor go?
If they don't want to work anymore, give me their resignation letters.
What time is it already?
You're still standing around gossiping. Be careful of losing your jobs.
General Manager's breakup syndrome,
I wonder when it will pass over.
I have been repeatedly thinking these past few days.
With Chef Xu's pot dishes,
I've made further improvements.
Here, have a taste.
How is it?
It's really not bad.
Really?
Do you like it?
Yi Yi also likes it. He said--
If you really like it, give the recipe to the research center.
Tell them to evaluate it and make it into a flavor packet.
Si Ji, let's find time to for an outing in the countryside.
Let's go with Grandma He Hua, Xiao Chun, Xiao Qiu.
Chairman, this is the product of the newly developed flavor pouch.
I'm planning to put this flavor pouch on the New Year's menu
for the consumers to choose.
It will also be put into the group meals catalogue.
Then people who want it can buy it.
It tastes very good. The taste is very domestic.
It's not sticky or greasy in the mouth either. The texture is not bad.
Actually, the recipe of this flavor packet was developed by Si Ji.
You're talking about Tong Si Ji?
Didn't she already leave the company?
Chairman, I'm sorry. I made a decision on my own this time,
to ask Si Ji to develop new flavor pouches with me.
Actually, Si Ji is really talented in culinary arts.
Last time, because of some situation with Yuan Xian,
there are still a lot of suspicions that haven't been cleared up yet.
If Chairman agrees, I want to target this issue and investigate it again.
Last time, Tong Si Ji made a mistake in the contract with Yuan Xian Corporation
and the aftermath still hasn't been tidied up yet. How could this kind of person come back to the company?
Chairman, if our company doesn't reward and punish accordingly, how will the lower levels trust us?
Before, it was Si Ji who was in contact with Yuan Xian,
so the contract couldn't be signed because Yuan Xian demanded that Si Ji be present.
Also, it is strange for there to have been a mistake with the amount in the contract.
I looked at the contract. Si Ji verified the contract herself then too.
I think this issue should be thoroughly reinvestigated to find out the truth.
Moreover, Si Ji is really talented in coming up with new dishes.
I believe it's a good thing for her to come back to Fu Kang for the development of the flavor packets.
Then let's do it that way then.
As you say, reinvestigate the issue.
If we have indeed wrongly accused Si Ji,
then we must clear her innocence.
Chairman--
Thank you, Chairman.
Why do you have to make Tong Si Ji come back to work at the company?
Do you know? A person who has made a big mistake in work
is an incapable person!
What if Tong Si Ji's incapability was purposely constructed by someone?
What do you mean by that?
The contract that Tong Si Ji handed to Yuan Xian,
the person who touched it last was Xia Lin.
You need to be careful of what you're saying.
I am only stating the facts.
I think it's not difficult to find out the truth of this issue.
Fine. There's no need to find the truth of this issue.
I'm guessing it was Xia Lin's negligence.
But you know who Xia Lin is.
So, only Tong Si Ji can bear the consequence.
This is too unfair to Tong Si Ji.
Then what do you want to do?
Since General Manager knows that it wasn't Tong Si Ji's fault, there's no need to investigate it further.
So I think I can ask Tong Si Ji to come back to work now.
As for the Chairman,
I know how I should explain it. I won't let Xia Lin get hurt.
Xiang Yang!
Just right. I wanted to talk with you about
the Guan Guang Factory issue that I mentioned to you last time.
What's wrong?
I didn't think, that you would push the responsibility of what you did wrong onto Si Ji.
What do you mean?
The Yuan Xian Department Store contract, the General Manager has already admitted it was your fault.
It wasn't me!
Although you're the Chairman's granddaughter, I hope you can be an honest person.
Even if you don't dare to admit to the mistake, you still shouldn't push the responsibility off on someone else.
How could you blame the Yuan Xian contract mistake on me?!
That was obviously between you and Manager Wang—
Mind your attitude!
Know your place!
You're saying that I am blaming the mistake on you.
Xia Lin, can you say that you knew nothing about it?
You totally had the chance to tell Tong Si Ji that there was a mistake on the contract.
Why didn't you do that?
Still, it wasn't my idea!
Enough!
It's useless for you to say this now.
Since you want to become Cheng Ding Xiong's granddaughter,
you must pay an equal price!
If you still want to keep your current identity,
you better not doubt my decisions from now on.
Get out.
According to this season's sales performance, I've already made a chart.
Take a look. If there's anything that needs to be fixed--
We'll talk later.
Alright.
Why? You didn't even give me a chance to explain.
Does it hurt?
Lightly!
You scared me to death.
Can you talk softer?
Are you okay?
Right now, even if I am in pain from a breakup,
I can smile all because of my family's accompaniment.
So, the pain of breakup may diffuse with time.
I'll go open the door.
- Brother Xiang Yang. Come in. - Xiao Chun.
- Xiang Yang. - Grandma, Si Ji.
Why do you have the time to come over today?
Brother Xiang Yang, take a seat.
I came today to especially tell you some good news.
You can come back to Fu Kang Foods now.
Also, your work will be to develop new flavor pouches with me.
Really?
Grandpa agreed to let Sister Si Ji go back to Fu Kang?
Then won't I have a better chance to match them together?
Sister Si Ji, this was all due to Xiang Yang's efforts.
See how much he is doing for you,
it's too touching.
Fu Kang Foods again.
This Fu Kang Foods is really pervasive.
Grandma, I don't know why you hate Fu Kang so much.
But Si Ji is really talented in culinary arts.
Also, isn't it quite good for her to have a stable job?
Of course! Our Fu Kang Foods has always loved and cared for people with talent.
Your Fu Kang Foods?!
- What's your relation to Fu Kang Foods? - I...
Me... because I love to eat Fu Kang Foods' products.
They taste good, right?
I think it's nothing great.
That year, Fu Kang Foods' Broad Bean Sauce,
wasn't it just stolen from someone else?
Grandma, that's not right.
You don't understand Fu Kang Foods, why do you say that?
I understand Fu Kang Foods' issues more than you!
You yellow-haired brat, what do you know?
How could that be possible? Fu Kang Foods—
Older Sister, this is great.
In the future, we can work hard at the same company.
Grandma, about Fu Kang Foods, I...
Forget it, forget it.
It's good to have a stable job.
At least, it can help you forget Yi Yi quickly.
That's right. Forget him quickly.
Sister Si Ji, the best way to forget a relationship
is to immediately go on to the next one.
I think Xiang Yang is quite good, right?
Xiang Yang, Sister Si Ji will be in your care now, okay?
Hui Hui.
Is your Grandma home? I'll tell her and listen to the elder's advice.
What are you doing?!
What are you doing? Don't let my Grandma hear you.
Let me help you.
Thank you for telling me this good news today.
Just as Hui Hui said, I only want you to be happy.
No need to feel pressured. Just think of me as a friend who wants to help you get over the pain.
Oh, right. After you get back to Fu Kang, the thing that must be done is Yuan Xian's contract.
After that is done, will you be able to stand secure in Fu Kang Foods.
Will that be difficult to do? Do you need me to help you?
No.
If I can't even face this small issue,
what will I do if I face even bigger issues in the company?
Moreover,
I can't continue avoiding Yi Yi for the rest of my life, right?
I'm reassured by you being able to think that.
Si Ji, in this world,
Yi Yi is not the only one who can lend you his shoulder.
If I didn't fall in love with Yi Yi,
I might have been really happy.
Now that the happiness that has passed won't come back,
if you're willing, walk into your next happiness.
But... it doesn't seem that easy.
Time is not a problem. Even if Yi Yi is still in your heart,
I will still work hard to become your sunshine,
to warm up your heart.
