♫ Love has a kind of ominous feeling ♫
♫ When you are silent for a moment ♫
♫ Oh, I want to keep some yearning ♫
♫ for deeply sentimental attachment, but you simply turn a blind eye ♫
♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit, perhaps it is you who is so capricious ♫
♫ accepting everything against your will. Why bother justifying the right and wrong? ♫
♫ And between me and you, there no longer is a past ♫
♫ Like the winter season, the heart, dropping to freezing point ♫
♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit letting us drift and gradually farther apart ♫

The Lover's Lies
Episode 39
Grandma! Grandma!
What do we do?
Older Brother!
It's alright.
When Older Sister settles down, she will contact us.
Hello? Xiao Dong, Older Sister Si Ji has run away from home.
Has she contacted you?
No.
Why did she run away from home? What happened?
Wasn't it all because of Grandma.
Because Older Sister Si Ji is the granddaughter of the Cheng family,
so Grandma was really cold to her these last few days.
Older Sister Si Ji didn't want Grandma to be put in a difficult position, so she left without saying goodbye.
How about this? Try contacting Older Sister Si Ji's friends
to see if she has contacted them.
Okay. I'll wait for news from you.
Where could Older Sister Si Ji have gone?
Hello? Brother Xiang Yang, has Older Sister Si Ji contacted you?
Her phone is not on and the people she knows can't find her either.
Where could Older Sister have gone?
Xiao Dong.
Auntie, why have you come?
I came out to walk about with my friend, we came by you here coincidentally.
This is the one I mentioned to you before,
- my son's girlfriend, Xiao Dong. - Hello, Auntie.
Xiao Dong looks remarkable. Your son has such great taste.
Of course.
Xiao Dong, give us two cups of your signature coffee.
Sure, no problem.
Is that a child's cry?
I think so too.
Niu, Niu.
Come, come. Don't cry, don't cry.
Xiao Dong, whose child is this?
Shopkeeper.
Your daughter is crying again?
Don't cry, don't cry. Be good, be good.
If you cry, how will your mother do business?
What did you say? Her daughter?
Yes. She's so young, to come out and do business with a child,
it's not easy.
Auntie, if you have nothing to do, sit here and order two cups of coffee.
To help her out a bit.
Shopkeeper, one cup of Si Ji coffee.
Okay, no problem.
Hello, Xiao Chun? Do you have news of Si Ji yet?
Okay, then continue looking.
You not contacting anyone like this, are you trying to disappear off the radar?
That's not it. I just wanted to get some peace by myself.
There are a lot of things that I need to think through.
Then I should thank you for not thinking them through yet, for me to be able to find you here.
I came to this park when I and my siblings had nowhere else to go.
At that time, Mother had just passed away. With my siblings,
I wandered everywhere, not knowing where to go.
I also don't know why,
I was not one bit scared at the time.
It might be because I had them by my side.
And now,
I really have become not strong at all.
I feel like I am alone now in this world.
I don't know where to go.
I've never been this afraid before.
Do you still remember,
this is also the place where we first met?
Of course I remember.
At that time, I was feeling really hopeless.
Xiao Dong had a high fever and the few of us were hungry,
we had no home to return to.
Then you appeared.
You bought food for us and even found a place for us to stay.
Older Sister, look. All of these were bought by Brother Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang! Hurry and run with my brothers and sisters!
- Hurry and run! - Older Sister!
- Let's run! Run! Hurry and run! - Older Sister!
- Hurry and run! - Older Sister!
Si Ji, wait for me. I will definitely come to save you.
You stinking brat!
Take this money.
Bring your brothers and sisters and go find your grandfather.
We will meet again.
When the time comes, bring your smile
and treat me to a meal.
Xiang Yang.
You've always been a highly regarded person in my life.
That's why, no matter where you are,
I will be able to find you, whenever you need my help.
Si Ji, don't you feel that we have a predestined fate between us?
Xiang Yang, thank you so much.
Every time when I am the most helpless, you always appear by my side.
But...
I've always seen you as a family member,
and not a lover.
Do you have to reject me so straightforwardly?
Just give me a family card.
I just don't want you to waste your time on me.
I am doing this all willingly. Don't think too much.
No matter what kind of person you see me as, I will be by your side when you need me.
Xiang Yang.
What's most important now is to solve where you're going to live.
I've moved out. I am renting a house.
I have a spare room. Move in and live with me for now.
I will think of a solution for a place to live by myself.
How can I feel reassured if you're like this?
Moreover, haven't you already given me a family card?
Can family members not live under the same roof?
Then haven't I been marked a family member quite wrongfully?
You know, it's not the same.
Alright. Then how about this?
I'll give you two options. One, come to my house. Two, find Xiao Dong.
If you find Xiao Dong, you have no excuses against that, right?
Then... I'll go find Xiao Dong.
This time, it's time for her to help me tidy up my situation.
Because it's a jewelry show, the producers are really careful with the lighting.
This time, they made a 3D stage.
General Manager finally got an individual stand for this international brand.
They care a lot about this opening show.
Please check the activity schedule again in greater detail.
It must be noisy, there mustn't be any awkward silences.
Okay. No problem.
Careful!
What is it?!
- Call the ambulance! - Got it!
[Emergency Center]
I'll go do the procedures.
How were your checkup results?
It's the same as expected. I can do the surgery, I'm now just waiting for a surgery time.
That's great.
When the surgery is finished, you can go back to normal.
I don't know yet. There are still risks in the surgery.
Hello, Xiao Zheng.
I've set a time with the driver, 8am tomorrow morning.
Something came up?
Then what should I do?
No, Xiao Zheng. Can you be more reliable?
Where will I find someone at the last minute?
Fine, fine. I'll think of a solution myself.
- What's wrong? - I'm moving house tomorrow and asked a friend to help.
She said she can't come because something came up.
I've even set a time with the driver, I can't lengthen the time with the landlord.
How about I help you move house? I have nothing to do tomorrow anyway.
Really?
That's great, Xiao Qiu! Thank you.
Xiao Qiu.
I finally got to see you.
Older Sister, you've finally appeared.
Older Sister, Miao Miao and I are only coworkers. What can I tell you for you to believe me?
If that's really the case, why did Miao Miao come to me personally,
telling me to persuade you to do the surgery?
Xiao Qiu, do you really not know Miao Miao's feelings for you or are you pretending not to know?
Do you think I have time to think about that now?
Xiao Qiu, older sister believes that your surgery will be very successful.
Oh, right. Grandma... she's still okay, right?
How could she be okay?
Older Brother Xiao Chun got into a huge argument with her because of you.
Then, Grandma locked herself in her room and didn't come out.
Xiao Chun's temper has always been rash.
Help me watch over him, don't let him talk back to Grandma again.
His temper is rash,
but at least I could see that Grandma didn't want you to leave.
Older Sister, come home with me.
As long as you say a few words to Grandma, her anger will definitely dissipate.
How could it be that easy?
Fu Kang is Grandma's nemesis.
Her son became a part of the Cheng family.
So she cut all ties with him, she doesn't even acknowledge Hui Hui.
Don't mention me.
Older Sister, Grandma is only speaking harsh but her heart is soft.
She must just be...
Then give Grandma some time,
and also give me some time.
Then... where are you living now? You can't go back to the Cheng family, can you?
Don't worry, I'm going to find Xiao Dong.
That's good, then. Don't stay alone by yourself. All of us are really worried.
Has the date for your surgery been set?
Not yet. The surgery schedule has been very full recently.
There are not enough patient rooms either. My illness isn't an urgent one.
So, let's wait a little more.
That's good. When the date of the surgery has been set,
remember to tell me, got it?
Doctor.
Are you the patient's family?
Yes, he is my father.
The old mister's external injuries have been bandaged. There are no big issues.
But the main thing is, his condition... is a bit complicated.
Didn't you say there are no big issues? Why is it complicated?
We've done an x-ray and CT checks on him.
The images show that there is a malignant tumor in his stomach.
Malignant tumor?
You're saying, he has stomach cancer?
It has been quite some time now. Didn't you know?
Then how should we treat it now?
Will it be alright to cut out the tumor?
We're preparing to do a further checkup on him.
If it has moved to other organs,
that will not be too optimistic. You need to be mentally prepared.
Then, I'm going to leave first.
Don't interfere in this anymore.
I will use my ways to make him disappear from in front of me.
- Why did you come? Are you trying to make trouble?! - No...
I... heard you were getting engaged.
I'm happy for you. I wanted to come congratulate you.
Why did you come to congratulate me? Who are you?
I'm telling you, the best congratulations from you would be for you to disappear from my life.
Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Kai.
Yuan Xian Corporation's Chairman, Yi Zheng Hua, and I
only look the very similar. Honestly, me and Yi Yi's family...
have no relations at all.
He only became how he is now
all because of me.
Yi Yi, are you still alright? Did you get hurt?
I'm sorry, I didn't go to Yuan Xian to disturb you on purpose.
I just...
Don't say "sorry" anymore.
The one who should say "sorry" is me.
You're my biological father, isn't that right?
No, I'm not.
You knew a long time ago.
I only look very similar to your father.
Why would you... have a father like me?
Don't hide it anymore.
My mother already told me.
I know everything.
I treated you that way in the past, why didn't you tell me the truth?
I'm sorry, I've done a lot of wrong things.
Without me, you would have lived happier,
you would have been able to live proudly that way.
So, I promised Du Juan, I would forever disappear from in front of you.
But why did you appear by my side again?
And then going around in circles trying to not let me find out?
I... I only wanted to...
I only wanted to watch you from afar, watch my son.
I know,
I don't have much time left.
Yi Yi, what's wrong?
Why did you have to stay in the hospital all of a sudden?
The person staying in the hospital isn't me. I was afraid you wouldn't come if I told you the truth.
It's Yi Zheng Hua. The real Yi Zheng Hua, my father.
The doctor said he has terminal stomach cancer. He doesn't have much time left.
I really didn't know he was my biological father.
We have been trying to force him to leave this city all this time.
Mum, we have done wrong.
We really shouldn't have done that.
Yi Yi,
this wasn't your fault, it was mine.
Mum.
Mum, he says he wants to see you, he has something to tell you.
I know you hate him and don't want to see him,
but... this is the only thing I can do for him. He is my biological father.
I have done so many wrong things before, I want to compensate him now.
It's too late for me to compensate now.
All of those wrongdoings... were because of me.
I should be the one to bear it.
This knot should be undone now.
I'll go see him.
Yi Yi... you've stayed with me for so long already.
Go back to rest.
There are still a lot of things to do at the company.
Serious matters are important. There are doctors and nurses here,
it's alright. Don't worry.
Du Juan?!
I... I thought, in my lifetime,
you wouldn't be willing to see me again.
It was Yi Yi who told me to come.
Yi Yi really asked you to come.
Du Juan,
thank you for coming to see me.
I just wanted to apologize to you in person.
Just let everything in the past stay in the past.
Don't mention it anymore.
No, Du Juan, everything was my fault.
I didn't know how to value you, that's why this family was ruined.
If it wasn't for me,
our family might have... might have...
Don't say any more.
Just be quiet and nurture yourself from your sickness.
Du Juan, in my whole life,
I've only done one thing that I am most sorry to you for,
I am the most sorry to only one person. It's you.
I'm sorry.
You are sorry to me.
I hate you.
I know.
It was all because of you,
that I did so many wrongdoings.
I naively thought that Cheng Kang Sheng could replace you,
replace my husband,
replace Yi Yi's father.
I also thought I could...
hide this from everyone.
So, I kept endlessly lying.
I lied to myself,
I also lied to everyone.
I ruined so many people's lives.
Now, I also want to tell them,
"sorry".
Du Juan, this was all my fault.
It was all because of me.
I've already got what I deserved.
What I deserved...
Come, drink, drink.
- This red wine is not bad. - Cheers.
- Over there, let's go. - Should I go to Korea first,
or to Japan first?
Go to Japan first.
Hello.
Jason!
- Jason! - You came so late!
I'm telling you, people who forget their friends when they see someone they like, your punishment is one cup first.
Here, just this one.
Punish me then. For Xia Lin, I'm willing to take my punishment.
- Here. - Here.
I know I haven't appeared for a long time.
To show my apology, I'll pay today.
- You said that yourself! - Sure.
Someone is paying, someone is paying!
- Sure. - Xia Lin.
I haven't seen you together with Jason for a long time now.
What a rare guest.
Yes, long time no see, everyone.
Old rules, let's have one cup first.
No problem.
Here, drink a bit less first.
Not bad, not bad, not bad.
Have another cup, have another cup.
Enough, this is the last one. If you keep forcing her, I'm going to feel sad.
Alright, alright. Okay, okay.
- Long time no see. - Long time no see.
I can do it.
You can do it? Okay.
Jason, what are you doing?
Didn't she break up with you before?
A while back, wasn't she about to get married to Yuan Xian Corporation's rich kid?
What are you spewing?
I'm warning you, Xia Lin has now separated from Yi Yi.
They've already canceled their marriage. Don't speak nonsense about this anymore.
Really? From what I saw, she was rejected by that Yi Yi.
That's why she came to find you, isn't that right?
Jason, good men don't go back to what they left behind.
- I'm warning you! - Jason.
Xia Lin is now my woman.
Don't speak dirty words from your mouth from now on, you hear me?!
What are you doing?
Don't be rash, don't be rash. Mark didn't mean anything by it.
Okay, okay.
- Jason. - Okay, okay.
I was wrong, okay? I'll apologize.
Apologize!
Sorry.
Xia Lin.
Everyone is here today, I'll say it clearly.
Xia Lin and I have already gotten engaged.
She is now my, Jason's, fiancée.
From today on, if anyone says any bad words about her,
that person is not my friend anymore.
Xia Lin, let's go.
Let's go.
- Let him go. - Okay, okay.
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
I really don't know what he's trying to pull!
He is serious again!
It's nothing, it's nothing. Everyone, drink, drink.
- Drink. - Drink.
- Be happier. - Happier, happier.
Sorry, I shouldn't have taken you to that kind of place.
Don't take what they said to heart, okay?
What they said was all true.
I'm afraid, I will have to become other people's joke.
Xia Lin, you know every one of your emotions will move my heart.
As long as I can see your smile, I am willing to do anything for you.
Just now, I was serious with what I said at the bar.
Xia Lin, when I first saw you, I knew you were the person I was looking for in my life.
Although... although you left me in the end,
I thought I must have done something that wasn't good enough for you to be so disappointed in me.
Thanks to the gods for giving me a second chance and letting me return to your side.
Xia Lin, be my lover, be my wife, please?
Let me use my whole life to love you.
Marry me.
Yes.
♫ Never say goodbye, say goodbye ♫
♫ My heart is still waiting like it always has ♫
♫ In my memory, how much happiness and sadness still remains? ♫
♫ Never say goodbye, say goodbye ♫
From now on,
I will make you the happiest woman in this world.
♫ I’ve learnt to let go ♫
♫ Never say goodbye... ♫
Don't say "sorry" anymore.
The one who should say "sorry" is me.
You're my biological father.
He knows?
Then why didn't he tell me?
Maybe it's because he feels that he owes you.
Give Yi Yi some time
and also give yourself some time, okay?
Older Sister! Older Sister! Coffee truck business was especially good today.
So, I only came back from working just now. You didn't wait very long, did you?
I didn't.
Niu, you haven't seen mommy for a long time, right?
Did you miss me?
Older Sister, Grandma has gone too overboard in this.
So what if your surname is Cheng? You didn't grow up in the Cheng family.
Seriously... you were raised by Grandma herself.
If she couldn't even accept this, she is too narrow-minded.
Grandma has an impatient temper, what comes goes quickly too.
When her anger dissipates, I'll go back to see her.
That's right too.
Don't worry, when I have time after a while,
I will go to see Grandma for you and test out the situation.
Let's go. Let's go up.
To disturb so suddenly, it's okay, right?
It's fine. Just be totally reassured.
I've just called Uncle and mentioned it.
He asked me to tell you to come live here without a second thought.
He even said that Grandma was in the wrong in this.
Grandma didn't take good care of it.
Xiao Dong, it's really lucky for you to be able to meet a man like Lao Pi.
There are not a lot of men like that in the world anymore now.
Of course, my taste has never been wrong.
Okay, let's go up.
Uncle must have made dinner and is waiting for us.
What? You already knew Xiao Dong had a child?
But you're still dating her?
Mum, don't I also have Xiao Pi too?
Xiao Dong doesn't complain about it, why should I?
Complaining about you? What right does she have to complain about you?
How could men and women be the same?
It's just changing Xiao Pi's mother,
but he still has your surname and your blood still flows in him.
What about Xiao Dong? She's bringing a burden into the house.
Aren't you an idiot for raising someone else's child?
Mum, it's now the era of equality between men and women.
How could your mind still be filled with the old ways of thinking?
This isn't any old way of thinking.
This is the bloody truth.
Ask yourself from your conscience,
if this child feels as close to you as if it was biologically yours.
In the future, will Xiao Dong like Xiao Pi more
or her biological kid.
That's your prejudiced view.
Think about it from another point of view,
because Xiao Dong is still a mother, that's why she can understand the difficulties of me being a single dad.
That's why we are able to care for and help each other.
Moreover, doesn't Xiao Dong and Xiao Pi get along just fine?
That is because you still haven't gotten married.
Once the two of you get your certificate, I don't believe Xiao Dong
will see Xiao Pi as her own.
Grandmother, Auntie Xiao Dong is a good person.
She taught me to use Lao Shi's Super TV to play games.
Niu is quite cute too.
See? Doesn't Xiao Pi like Xiao Dong too?
If you like her, that's your issue.
Anyway, I don't like her.
I'm telling you, Lao Pi, break up with her quickly.
Save yourself from being unable to separate in the future.
Mum! Say, what are you getting worked up over?
Weren't you saying "Xiao Dong this, Xiao Dong that" before
and quite liked her?
Why have you changed like turning a page in a book?
That is because you've lied to me!
You led me to believe that she was a pure lady.
Mum! Xiao Dong just divorced,
do you have to talk about her like she's something bad?
Moreover, there are a lot of good ladies.
But for them to be like Xiao Dong, who treats Xiao Pi genuinely,
I can swear that you won't be able to find one anymore!
That's what you think.
I just think, that after you get married,
how will she see you?
People will laugh at me like I'm a joke, got it?!
Simple, then. When Xiao Dong and I get married,
don't bother! We'll just get the certificate!
- Since both of us are remarrying! - You—
Xiao Pi! Dinner!
Older Sister, you've come.
I... let me introduce you, this is my Mum.
Mum, this is Xiao Dong's older sister, Si Ji.
Auntie, hello. I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
Xiao Dong, don't stand there.
Bring Older Sister in to rest for a while, we'll start having dinner soon.
Older Sister, sorry.
Mum!
Look at you, it wasn't enough for you to raise someone else's daughter,
you've even brought her older sister to live at your home.
Why didn't you bring me to live here at your house?!
Mum! Speak softer!
Xiao Dong's older sister is only staying here temporarily for a few days.
Moreover,
isn't my house already your house?
Just stay here however many days you like,
why are you saying it as if I don't let you or not?
Why did I give birth to a stupid son like you?
In the past, you let that woman order you as she liked.
You've divorced after many difficulties. Why didn't you remember your lesson?
Mum, I'm dumb. Your son is dumb.
Go back first, okay?
Your son is begging you, if there are any other issues, let's continue this another day.
Mum, I'm begging you.
I'm begging you.
Older Sister, you should sleep with Xiao Dong in this room. I'll sleep on the sofa.
Alright, don't be polite. I'll sleep here.
Older Sister, if you're like this, Uncle won't be able to sleep all night.
If the two of you keep being like this, I'll go back.
Older Sister.
I'm so sleepy, I didn't close my eyes at all last night.
Go sleep.
Okay, Uncle. Let's listen to Older Sister then.
Okay, goodnight, Older Sister.
- Goodnight. - I'm so tired tonight.
Are you hiding something from me?
I am hiding a lot from you. For example, I don't love you anymore.
For example, I am already tired of you. For example, I—
For example, your father...
- That's why, we-- - Shut up.
For example, you and I, we are...
Tong Si Ji, no matter what you want to say, I don't want to hear it!
But have you thought,
what if this wasn't the truth?
Whether it is true or not,
Tong Si Ji, I'm telling you, I don't want to have any contact with you from today on.
Please don't come to disturb me anymore!
For a long time,
I thought that as long as I could get you away,
I would be able to protect Mum and Dad, protect this family.
In the end, Mum and I were just wishfully thinking.
We thought that we were doing this for the people we love.
In the end, we let the people we love get hurt.
Not only you, Father, Mother,
and Si Ji. They have all become victims.
Xiao Dong, say, which lifetime did I get this luck from?
To have a beauty like you
helping me cook breakfast.
Sweet-talker. I am making this for my Older Sister.
Later, you're not allowed to eat.
Would you be willing to let me stay hungry?
Why wouldn't I? Didn't Lao Pi's mother say,
if Uncle just looked, he would be able to find girls better than me by a hundred-fold.
No way. I wouldn't like any girls even if they were better than you,
I just like our Xiao Dong.
Look, you're elegant and beautiful enough and also able to cook.
You've even won against the Moon Goddess.
If you're so able to talk well, why weren't you able to talk back to Lao Pi's mother?
It's not being unable to talk back to her.
Seriously, it's only our issue.
So, I have to talk logically with my Mother,
take it slow. How can I speak empty words?
Right?
Don't worry about my Mother. Just leave her to me.
If...
- If your mother-- - There's no "if", no "if".
I've promised Grandmother, I've promised Older Sister,
that I would take good care of you for the rest of my life.
How could what uncle says not count?
Then you're not angry with my Mother anymore?
I'm not angry anymore. Uncle is so good to me.
For you, I will work hard to be tolerant.
I will also work hard to let Mother like me.
Thank you, Xiao Dong.
Oh, O-Older Sister, good morning.
Good morning.
That... can I... have breakfast now?
You can. I-I'll go tell Xiao Pi to wake up.
Say, the two of you are so close and passionate even when making breakfast.
Even if you're willing to make it, I don't dare eat it.
Older Sister, you can eat breakfast in another 10 minutes.
Why is your face so red?
Am I?
No, right?
Older Sister.
You're teasing me again.
Du Juan, as things have progressed to today,
I also don't want to blame anyone.
Don't blame yourself too much either.
Live through your days well.
Between you and me, we should put a stop to it all.
I've always been waiting for you to come back, since...
we have been a couple for 30 years.
Even if in the beginning, it was a mistake,
but the feelings of these last 30 years,
how could we break up just like that?
Du Juan, lies can only numb the pain from the past,
but it can't stop the heart's sickness.
You should walk away from it now.
No.
This is not just a lie.
My feelings for you are real.
We have lived together for 30 years,
that is also true.
You, me, Yi Yi.
the three of us have once been so happy and fulfilled.
Why should we deny all of that?
But now, the truth has been revealed,
we can't pretend we don't know anything anymore.
