If I can touch my mother's hand again,
I'll surely recognize her.
I've been living alone for a long time.
Please don't mind.
[Ernie]
I have to leave for a while.
Xiao Ou...
Just let her stay here with me.
I'm quite happy...
to have her here.
Just go ahead.
I'll pick you up after your haircut is done.
Don't wander around.
Okay?
Sure, mum.
See you later.
Thank you.
Welcome.
This, I...
Just put it there.
Sure.
Mum.
What's wrong with you?
Why did you terminate my card?
Why can't I get married?
I'll marry whoever I want.
Guo Dong.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
My mum has terminated my credit card.
What's wrong with her?
She knew that we're going to get married.
So she terminated my card.
I've been using this card...
since I was 18 years old.
How could she do this to me?
Is she my mum?
Trying to threaten me in this way.
Not a chance.
Yi Zhi, don't worry.
Our wedding...
will still carry on.
Even if we need to borrow money.
Isn't this expected?
I'm not married to your mother...
nor to your money.
We'll survive in our own ways.
It's not a big deal.
I've just promised to Auntie Yuan.
Yet...
here is a real slap in the face.
Luckily,
my mom isn't mean like yours.
Let's go.
You have clues of the human trafficker?
Is it the same person?
[7-year-old Mu Lian Sheng who is kidnapped] [are you OK?]
[The details of Mu Lian Sheng's kidnap] [The portrait of the suspect]
Madam.
Did your child...
leave any books here?
Thank you.
Welcome.
Big Sister, I know...
I'll meet you again.
I miss you so much.
Go home with me.
Not for now.
I'm busy.
I don't care.
I finally meet you today.
Let's go.
Mum misses you a lot.
Let's go.
When will my mum come back?
She'll be back very soon.
Xiao Ou.
You said that...
you just met your mum recently, right?
Do you live in Dalian?
Do you still remember your name?
My name is Lin Xiao Ou.
I'm Lin Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ou, don't be afraid.
I just want to help you...
and your mum.
Granny Hui, my mum is a good person.
I know. So...
Mum!
Who is she?
She's adorable.
Lin Xiao Ou, my daughter.
She's your aunt.
She's Aunty Guo Zhi, greet her.
Good day, aunty.
Lin Xiao Ou.
I have a niece.
I finally become an aunt.
Big Sister.
You didn't come back because of her, right?
It might scare mum out.
Impossible.
She'll be pleased...
to be a grandmother.
By the way,
I'll call her now.
I'll go back with you...
and tell her personally.
Let's go and meet granny.
Come.
I'm leaving now.
Thank you, Granny Hui.
Welcome.
Little Mu Lian Sheng.
What's your...
ambition?
What's ambition?
It's something you want to do in the future.
I want to be a mother.
Be a mother?
Whose mother?
Who's this?
It's me.
You look like Lian Sheng.
Xiao Wu, what did you look like when you're young?
I haven't seen...
your childhood photos.
I don't have childhood.
Not everyone...
has a childhood worth to recall.
Tell me...
about your childhood's life.
I've lost Lian Sheng.
I only have you now.
Don't you forget our consensus?
Never ask about each other's past.
I wasn't happy that time.
But I've forgotten the past since I met you.
How about you?
What do you want?
Nothing is worth to be remembered.
I thought we could turn over a new leaf...
as long as we forget our past.
But why has our life...
turned this way?
Do you regret?
I don't know.
Perhaps I shouldn't have given birth to Lian Sheng.
There's no turning back.
How about you give her up...
right now?
No way, Xiao Wu.
Why not?
Police...
Police will find Lian Sheng.
If they knew...
If they knew what I did...
Fine.
I'll try to find Lian Sheng...
before the police do.
Okay?
Do you have any means to find her?
Yes, I do have.
However,
you're such a selfish mother.
Wait for me.
One more dish haven't served yet.
I'm starving.
Almost.
Boss, hurry up.
-Okay, coming. -Move aside.
Sit here.
Thank you.
I'll do it.
My mother still refused to answer my call.
Yi Zhi.
We may have such poor life...
in the future.
I'm fine with it.
I'm scared that you can't stand it.
If you're fine with it,
so do I.
Let's eat.
It's quite delicious.
Taste it.
Is it?
Have some fish.
Is it good?
It tastes better than I thought.
Of course.
I told you.
I tell you what,
my mum has underestimated...
our resilience.
You're right.
Although my salary isn't high,
we're able to feed ourselves.
Right?
Of course.
Let's eat.
Try this.
Mum.
This...
Guo Dong can't stay in his apartment anymore.
If you don't take him in,
he'll have to sleep on the streets.
It's inappropriate for you to stay with him.
Guo Zhi is still in the house though.
Otherwise,
let Guo Dong stay in Big Sister's room?
Since the room is vacant.
No way.
Why?
Never mind, auntie.
As long as I have a place to sleep.
I need to go to washroom.
Sorry.
Mum.
It's same for you too.
I'll keep the room for you...
even if you got married.
Home is a place...
where you can come back anytime.
I'll never be like...
that ungrateful Lin Xu Zhi.
She won't come back anymore.
How could you say this?
Mum.
Look, who's back.
Big Sister.
Xu Zhi.
Mom.
You're back.
She...
She's Lin Xiao Ou.
Her daughter.
Surprise, isn't it?
Great, it's great.
Let me see.
You're really a weirdo.
Why didn't you tell us...
about your marriage and the child?
Mum, Yi Zhi.
She's my daughter, Lin Xiao Ou.
Mum.
Your precious fair lady...
has brought you a little fair lady.
Don't you feel stunned?
Why should I?
I knew it a while ago.
But we have no chance to meet each other.
Just call me granny, okay?
Granny.
What a sweet girl.
Come. Come over here.
Move aside.
Xiao Ou, have this.
Take a seat, Big Sister.
Put your bag down.
Have some food.
Let me hug you.
Here.
Eat this.
Just eat.
Eat.
Can she eat potato chips?
Sure.
Nice?
Xiao Ou.
Please help me.
Put the pillows properly.
It's fluffy.
Let's cover with this tonight.
Here.
Apart from Dalian Hits,
what other media interviews you've accepted?
Is it illegal to be interviewed?
I understand you're anxious...
to find your child.
But you snapped...
the confidential portrait of the suspect...
and revealed it to the media.
Have you ever thought that it'd alarm the suspect,
and risk your child?
The stronger the desire to keep a secret,
the more the people is craving of knowing it.
Am I right?
I'd be able to find Lian Sheng...
since more people...
knew the truth.
Before any solid evidence is found,
the suspect can't be declared guilty.
You mean she's innocent?
I didn't say that.
So she's not.
I can't tell you anything even if I know it.
That means you know nothing.
No matter what I know,
we must not take advantage of public's opinion...
to convict someone.
No smoke without fire.
I'm hoping...
people won't forget the fire...
and my child so quickly.
I think you should know...
how important the evidence is.
Before making an allegation...
that could ruin one's life,
you must be sure without doubt.
Do you know about Presumption of Innocence?
Your boyfriend, Shang Wu,
benefited from this legal principle.
Why are you relating it to Xiao Wu?
Shouldn't you investigate...
that woman now?
At this point of time,
where's your boyfriend?
Shouldn't he stay by your side?
We're the victim.
Don't we have to right...
to move freely?
Well, another question then.
On the evening of May 1st,
you almost jumped off...
the overpass with your daughter.
Why?
Mum.
I'm fine now.
Is it okay not to go home?
Are you okay to keep on...
carrying me like this?
My child's sick.
As her mother,
I can't even afford her to...
visit a doctor.
Can you feel...
how desperate I was?
You won't feel it.
Officer Guo, you're not married yet...
nor having a child,
right?
Even if I'll have no children in this life,
I'll certainly bring your daughter back.
You don't really look like your Big Sister.
Are you sure?
Both of us resemble the most.
Aren't we? She's here, Mr. Tian.
My second sister.
Who wants to look like her?
She's abnormal since young.
An absolute weirdo.
My second sister is great, right?
Second Sister, Mr.Tian is my mentor during internship.
Nice to meet you. I'm Tian Fang.
Mr. Tian.
Shouldn't you go and look for the past?
Why are you here?
He came for Big Sister.
Her again.
Sometimes I really doubt that...
Lin Xu Zhi is mum's only daughter.
While we two were adopted from nowhere.
Agree.
Mr. Tian, what she said is right.
Mum is bias.
Why does your mother care for Xu Zhi so much?
Good question.
We're curious too.
Is he Tian Fang?
President Yuan.
Come to my room.
They're so secretive.
What are they talking about?
Mr. Tian.
Please sit.
You said you know about what happened to Xu Zhi in Dalian.
Please tell me.
President Yuan.
I have a question.
Is Lin Xu Zhi your daughter?
She's my daughter.
My biological daughter.
President Yuan.
You're the president of a listed company.
All your information known to public,
can be searched from the Internet.
There's a big gap between...
the time you got married...
and Lin Xu Zhi was born.
Do you think you a reporter is different...
from those paparazzi?
Is it fun to invade others' privacy?
Fine, I tell you.
I gave birth to Xu Zhi before I got married.
Are you satisfied with this?
President Yuan.
I know I shouldn't say this,
but...
But?
Shouldn't everyone have the right...
to know who's their parents?
But we do have the right...
to keep our secret too.
You should know...
sometimes secret is like poison.
But it won't turn into poison...
if it stays away from people.
I hope you'll think about it.
As for how she decides,
that's her business.
At least she's given a choice.
Right?
Big Sister, where are you going?
You...you...
You can't leave.
Xiao Ou.
Tell me...
that you want to stay here.
Don't leave.
We'll come back again.
Lin Xu Zhi.
Don't go.
I have something important to tell you.
You won the lawsuit...
I guess you found the evidence.
Anyway,
truth can never be false,
and false can never be truth.
The truth can't be hidden in the dark.
Anyhow, we should make a right choice.
Does your official account...
always make the right choices?
Lin Xu Zhi.
Do you ever care about others?
Perhaps you're such a person...
who pretend to be calm,
whereas you're filled with hatred,
only care about destroying everything.
Who are you?
How Lin Xu Zhi behaves is our family's matter.
Who are you an outsider...
to criticize her here?
Get out.
Lin Xu Zhi.
Think it through before calling me.
Shut up and get lost.
It's done.
Good night, mum. Good night, granny.
She's so independent.
Just like you.
Good night.
I have no idea...
how you two get together.
I'm not going to ask.
You're smart.
You must have a reason to bring her back now.
I'm sorry, mum.
I don't want you to worry.
Ignorance is bliss.
Thank you so much.
Xu Zhi.
Being a mother isn't an easy job.
You hae to bear the pain of labor.
You have to feed your child.
When she cries,
you have to change the diaper immediately.
After enduring all these,
you'll realize the responsibility of a mother.
Are you ready for this?
Had you prepared for all these...
before adopting me?
Of course.
But, mum...
Even though you're not my biological mother,
however, you made me know that...
there's no fear when I return home.
It's relieved to sleep in your arm.
I'm willing to learn...
for Xiao Ou.
Great.
Never leave home again, please.
I'll help you to become a mother.
But I can't stay long in the house.
I'm afraid to trouble you.
There's no trouble between us.
It's been 30 years.
You've never been cute before me.
Is that difficult?
One will know how to act cute only if she's pampered.
Do I pamper you?
Once.
Try once before me.
I'm your real mother.
Good night.
You're back.
It's quite late.
But I still want to see you before sleeping.
How's your meeting with your mother today?
Fine. My mum...
You know her too.
She's stubborn.
It needs time.
Something interesting...
happened in my mum's workplace today.
What's that?
Her new secretary wanted to hook up with me.
What did you say?
I know what you're thinking.
In fact, she's quite pretty.
She looks like the young Maggie Cheung.
Tell me how she approached you.
Just the common tricks.
She let me send her home.
How about you?
Of course, I didn't bother her request.
I told her...
I have a...
gorgeous and cute girlfriend in my house.
Someone is jealous.
I'm just puzzled what you're trying to say.
I think it's quite interesting.
Is it?
Aren't you curious...
how popular your boyfriend is?
No, I'm not.
I'm keener to tell you...
how those men who want to...
approach me.
Do you want to know?
Why are you so serious?
I'm just puzzled what you're trying to say.
I know you didn't cheat on me.
Do you want me to reward you?
No.
I didn't mean that.
I think it's not a big deal.
Why did you mention it?
I thought...
Get out.
I want to sleep now.
Don't be cranky.
Mum.
Mum, look.
