[Scarlet Heart 2]

[Episode 13]

Not ready yet?

It's almost time.

Zhentian, come take a look.

Which one looks better?

This one or that one?

The one you're holding in your hand looks good.

Simple but elegant.

It matches your outfit.

Zhentian, look at me properly.

Am I overdressed?

No, it's perfect.

Take it easy.

Just treat it as normal family dinner.

Our sons are just coming back to visit us.

But I'm so excited.

This is Yin Zheng's first time bringing his girlfriend home.

He's had so many girlfriends previously, but she's the first.

And Sihan.

I've never met any of his girlfriends.

But I trust he has great taste.

These two girls might be our future daugher-in-laws.

Before I forget.

Look at these two necklaces.

Do you think they will like it?

These have been in your collection for years.

Are you willing to give them away?

Yes, these two necklaces are my favorite.

But they're nothing compared to my lovely sons.

Sihan is coming home.

I do hope the two of them can iron out their disputes and become united,

assisting you in developing a better future for Zhen Tian Group.

I hope they can understand your good intentions.

I really hope for our family to be together.

Harmonious and complete.

Hello? What is it?

The movie premiere?

I thought I told you to turn it down.

I know it's important,

but I have something more critical.

Sorry.

If you have something important to attend, then we shouldn't go.

I don't really want to attend anyways.

Why?

Isn't it your first family gathering in twenty years?

If they really thought of me as family,

they wouldn't have worked together to mess with me.

Asking me to first take down Kang Sihan,

then having Kang Sihan join Zhen Tian.

I'm the bad guy while he gets to be the good guy.

The old man is so cunning.

If that's the case, then you should definitely be there.

If you don't go,

they'll suspect you,

and think that you're upset with Kang Sihan coming home.

I am upset.

I have been working hard at Zhen Tian Group for ten years

to earn my current title.

What has Kang Sihan done?

Why is he entitled to the same status as mine?

I believe in your capabilities.

Are you going to a red carpet?

I think it's fine.

It's a family reunion, so I'm dressing a bit formal.

You clean up quite nice.

Wait a moment.

Don't you think we're clashing a bit?

A bit.

Give me a minute.

Here, change into this.

The color and material is pretty good.

Was this expensive?

Don't worry about it. It's not expensive.

Just put it on.

Wait for me then.

Not bad.

Get in the car.

You're driving your boss' car again?

Aren't you worried you'll scratch it?

Trust my driving skills.

Get in.

Let's get our responses in order.

Responses for what?

Your family is going to ask

about when we met and how long we've been together.

How should I respond?

We should have the same reply, shouldn't we?

If you're asked questions you don't know how to answer,

just keep smiling.

That's not a bad solution.

And...

It's fine. We'll talk about it when we get there.

What do you mean?

It'll be too late if we wait until then.

Just keep calm no matter what.

Are you worried about my acting?

Not at all.

You'll know what I'm talking about

after this dinner.

So secretive.

Okay, let's go.

Siyu, you're here.

I've been here for a while, Second Brother.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Horseshit?

You know each other?

She went to my stud-farm before.

Her horse riding skills are pretty good.

What did he just call you?

Siyu, my brother.

This is Zhang Xiao, my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I didn't know you had a girlfriend.

Everyone is already here.

Zhang Xiao, what are you doing here?

She is my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

You two make a good couple.

Thank you.

This is?

My girlfriend.

Nice to meet you, Director Kang. I'm Lan Lan.

Nice to meet you.

Who are you?

Don't you know?

He is the chairman's son, Kang Sihan.

Kang Sihan?

Zhang Xiao,

don't you know your boyfriend's name?

We usually refer to each other by nickname.

I don't think I need to explain this further with you.

You don't need to explain, and I don't want to know.

But be honest, Sihan.

Where do you rent this girlfriend of yours from?

Yin Zheng,

please have some respect.

You're all here.

Mom.

Dad, Mom.

Chairman.

We are having dinner together tonight.

Don't call me Chairman.

Dad, Mom, let me introduce you.

This is Big Brother's girlfriend,

and this is Second Brother's girlfriend.

She looks just like Lan Lan.

They look almost identical.

It's the talk of our company.

She is the Zhang Xiao I always mention to you.

She's an advertisement graphic designer from our Planning Department.

Uncle, Auntie, nice to meet you.

I just came back from filming in Korea,

and brought back some Korean ginseng.

Some health supplements for you.

Lan Lan, you are so courteous.

Just a simple dinner, and you brought us gifts.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sihan.

Aunt Lan.

I am glad to see you today.

I can't believe your girlfriend looks so similar to Yin Zheng's girlfriend.

This is fate.

It's just a coincidence.

When did you two get together?

We...

Not too long ago.

Great.

Please be seated.

Mom, give it to me.

It's rare for our family to get together.

Sihan, welcome back home.

I know you have a lot of opinions about me.

I know even if you don't tell me.

I hope all the unhappiness can be erased after this drink.

Cheers.

Let's have soup.

Lan Lan,

do you talk to your family often?

Yes, I do.

I'm on the phone with them almost every day.

How about Zhang Xiao?

My father often brings expedition teams to the desert.

So it's hard to get into contact with him.

I remember when I screened through your resume

you told me that your father was a retired physical education teacher.

Yes.

His hobby is to be a tour guide for expedition teams.

Does he talk to you about your mom?

Yes, always.

But since my mom passed away so early in her life,

my dad is only left with thoughts and fantasies of her.

So every story he tells of my mom is slightly different.

Let's have soup.

Sihan, I'll have Aunt Rong cook for you the next time you're home.

I do miss Aunt Rong's cooking.

It's the taste of my mother's cooking.

Based on what you said,

you're saying your mom taught Aunt Rong the dishes she cooks?

Didn't you know?

I always thought that my mom taught Aunt Rong her dishes.

Sihan, is there something wrong with your memory or mine?

Why don't we ask Aunt Rong?

Yin Zheng.

Alright, Big Brother. Let's just eat.

Why are we discussing these serious topics?

Aren't you tired of them?

Fine, we'll stop talking about this.

But Sihan hasn't had much Chinese food these years.

Seems like he lowered his standards.

I'm not sure about Sihan's standards for food,

but he chose a great partner.

Zhang Xiao is a smart and beautiful girl.

You have good taste.

Come on.

Cheers.

Are you okay?

Excuse me.

I'll go with you.

What do you want?

I'm asking you.

I told you many times.

We're not related in any way.

Why are you here?

Can't you stay away from me?

I'm only here to do my friend a favor.

It has nothing to do with you.

Only?

You're wearing a custom-made high-end evening dress just to do a favor?

What a costly favor.

Is this expensive?

Stop pretending!

Do you think you'll become someone by putting on this dress?

Stop washing it.

The material gets ruined with water.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Then how would I have proven that you're rube?

Zhang Xiao,

don't say I didn't warn you.

You're being played by both father and son.

Can't you tell?

Kang Sihan is using you as a free replacement

to infuriate his old man.

And the old man is using you to butter up his son.

I hope you don't think they take you seriously.

If they really cared about you,

they wouldn't have kept you in the dark.

Look in the mirror.

Cinderella is just a fairy tale.

Xiaoxiao.

Please give this back to your mom.

Xiaoxiao, please let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

Do the wealthy like having entertainment during their family gatherings?

Why did it have to be me? Are you messing with me?

I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose.

Don't lie to me.

You've been lying to me since day one.

Black Cat Detective, conciege,

good boss, they're all lies!

I won't trust you anymore.

You're a liar.

Xiaoxiao, please listen to me.

I just wanted to get to know you as equals.

I didn't want my background to cause you any burden.

Yes, I told a white lie.

I wanted to tell you the truth today.

I want you to know everything about me

because I like you.

Xiaoxiao.

Let me go.

Let her go.

Kang Sihan, watch yourself.

This is none of your business.

Are you okay?

♫ Stars are always glittering in the sky ♫

♫ Waiting for the sun, only leaving after getting tired ♫

♫ I'm always in this gray area ♫

♫ Waiting for you to come home when you get tired ♫

♫ Light comes after dark♫

♫ Only then can I see the faint existence of you ♫

♫ I was just like the star that is far apart from you ♫

White clouds always rely on the blue sky ♫

♫ Even if you don't understand my feelings and waiting ♫

♫ My love is like dust, scattered in the border zone ♫

Why are you getting into my business?

I wanted to.

You want everything that's mine.

She doesn't belong to you.

You're a scoundrel.

♫ A promise is like dust, constantly being buried in time ♫

♫ Who stills remember the confession made in heavy rain? ♫

♫ Everyone wants to be loved, looking for a future ♫

♫ Don't want to wander around in solitude ♫

Good morning, Director Yin.

Do you need something?

Thanks for the jacket.

Did you wash it?

Please send it for dry cleaning before returning it to me.

When you send it for dry cleaning,

tell them to not use bleach or softener.

And don't use vanilla scented dry cleaning solution.

And remember to not iron press for more than ten minutes.

Got it?

Did you hear?

The company recruited a handsome vice president.

That's none of my business.

Sure it is.

I heard that he's the chairman's son.

Dating Director Kang

will give you leverage over Lan Lan.

You always doze off when you're working,

but you can't stop talking when it's about guys.

I don't want to talk to you.

Director Kang, this way please.

Everyone.

Put down your work for a bit.

Let me introduce you.

This is Zhen Tian Group's newly appointed vice president.

Mr Kang Sihan.

Director Kang thinks highly of our Planning Department.

And so he came for a visit on his first day.

Therefore,

let's give Director Kang a warm applause.

Xiaoxiao, why does he look so familiar?

Everyone, I'm Kang Sihan.

If you want, you can call me Sihan or Xiao Kang.

However, if the chairman is here,

I wouldn't suggest for you to call me that

because he might think...

That you're addressing him as Xiao Kang.

I heard that everyone is very interested in the details of my personal life.

So I'll tell you all now.

I am 32 years old,

182cm, 70kg.

I hope for these numbers to remain the same for the next 50 years.

My horoscope is Scorpio, blood type O,

and my favorite color is beige.

I spent a few years in the UK.

Everyone might think I like fast food such as burgers and french fries,

but I'm here to honestly tell you

that food in the UK is disgusting.

It's just slightly better than Sumatra civet coffee.

My favorite food is northwestern Chinese cuisine.

Especially mutton soup

and grain.

Last but not least, I'd like to say that although I'm still single,

there's already someone I'm interested in.

My heard belongs to this kind girl with a pure heart.

Alright.

That's all our chatting today.

Thanks, everybody.

Alright. Please continue your work now.

Director Kang, this way please.

Director Kang seems easy to get along with.

He just has a glib tongue.

- He seems like a liar. - Director Kang, I'll introduce you to some of our colleagues.

He's coming.

Director Kang, let's me introduce.

She is Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao, this girl...

Let me introduce. Huang Di, come here.

Why are you avoiding me?

Director Kang, you have the wrong person.

Are you still mad at me?

Mad at you? Not worthwhile.

You're thinner than air in the Tibetan Plateau to me.

What am I supposed to do if you pretending to not know me?

What if I want mutton soup?

What if I want to go to Shichahai to set off firecrackers?

I think it's necessary for me to inform you seriously.

Although I am just a white collar,

I may be insignificant in your eye,

but I still have dignity.

I would never ever become entertainment for the rich second generation.

ZX, I-

Sorry, please do not disturb my work.

Come in please.

Director Kang.

Zhuo Yue.

Our office is all packed up.

All the stuff was moved over.

The stores also started the renovations.

Will you consider moving to some place near by?

No, I'll stay where I am.

But your commute won't be easy.

Love itself isn't easy to begin with.

Love?

I mean that working is same as falling in love.

The more you want to have, the greater effort and time you need to put in.

Okay.

[Black Cat Detective]

♫ I'm absolutely crazy about you ♫

♫ You're my absolute choice ♫

[Blacklist]

♫ Whether or not we're compatible ♫

♫ Do you feel the same as me? ♫

♫ I'm ready to be happy with you ♫

♫ You're my rain after a long drought ♫

♫ Whether or not we can turn this around

♫ I want to ask about your feelings for me ♫

♫ I still stammer over the words and want to disappear ♫

♫ I struggle after realizing it's just the beginning ♫

♫ There's no solution to stuttering ♫

When I found out he lied to me,

I felt stupid.

I never thought

that would happen.

Princess, I'm angry.

Very, very angry.

What are you angry at?

Because he didn't kiss you long enough?

Or because the kiss wasn't deep enough?

Princess,

don't try to pass your capitalistic thoughts onto me, okay?

It's not about the kiss.

It's because he lied to me about who he was.

He's not Black Cat Detective, not a concierge,

and not a drifter.

What's wrong with that?

Do you wish for your boyfriend to be a concierge?

- I... - I know.

Black Cat Detective isn't the problem.

It's you.

What do you mean?

Lack of confidence.

What are you talking about?

I'm just as great as he is.

I was awarded with the good student award five times,

outstanding class leader four times,

and my university design project ranked in the top 9.

Okay, okay.

Stop lying to yourself.

Let's strive for a better future.

I'm going to the studio.

Bye now.

Bad princess.

Xiaoxiao.

Let me share a secret with you.

What?

The mysterious chef who gave you the cake is...

You found the chef?

No, not yet.

Then why did you mention him?

Did I mention him? I...

I'm trying to say you should stop investigating.

It was a free cake.

It would've been a waste if we didn't enjoy it,

and it didn't cost anything to us in the first place.

Crazy.

You're just an idiot.

What do I have to do for you to forgive me?

Director Kang.

What do you mean?

This is none of your business.

Do you think you can avoid me forever?

What is he talking about?

Cheater Huang, make him disappear within the next three seconds.

Are you crazy?

Sorry, who are you?

Director Kang.

I am Huang Di from the Planning Department.

No, I'm Huang Di.

Not the Huang in emperor,

but the Huang as in yellow.

Mr. Huang, come on.

I can understand how you're feeling.

If I was in your shoes,

and you asked me to accept someone who hid their entire background,

it would be hard for me as well.

Getting to know someone should be intimate and interesting.

But my shamelessness

hurt you instead.

If you know you're being shameless,

why are you still here?

I was indeed shameless.

But I don't want to lie to you about myself anymore.

I want you to know the real me.

I invited you to our family gathering that day

because I wanted to let you know my true identity.

But I didn't expect

that it would hurt you.

I am sorry.

No need to apologize.

Director Kang,

I can't afford it.

Please give me one more chance.

Let me turn over a new leaf.

What is that? Chilis?

What is he doing?

♫ Even if my smile returns ♫

♫ I'm still left with loneliness ♫

♫ Happiness is always one step away from being lonely ♫

♫ Reality is always cruel ♫

♫ The fire has become a weak spark ♫

♫ Floating in the mirage ♫

♫ Our footsteps eventually reached the road of no return ♫

♫ We eventually lost our way ♫

♫ I don't care if we suffer on this road together ♫

♫ At least I can embrace your warmth ♫

♫ Even if it means being exiled ♫

♫ Even if we're one step away from happiness ♫

♫ I don't care how much suffering I go through ♫

♫ I'm satisfied with our journey ♫

♫ At least you have my blessing ♫

You thought

I made you a laughing stock.

I am now the laughing stock of the company.

Are you happy now?

We're even now.

I like you.

Be my girlfriend.

Say yes! Say yes!

What is she doing?

- Yeah, what? - Why did she leave?

It's real.

I'm not dreaming.

I don't know Kang Sihan.

Black Cat Detective is the man I like.

♫ If this fate only lasts until we meet ♫

♫ We grew further and further apart since our oaths ♫

♫ Those who can't be together can only be stranded ♫

Alright!

♫ If love can go back to the future ♫

♫ I will still be at your side ♫

♫ This time can our love last longer than just a moment? ♫

That's enough.

I don't want to be the laughing stock of the company for the entire year.

Then tell me.

Where should we go?

Anywhere but here.

I want to go to hospital.

I ate so many chilis just now.

I'm about to breathe fire.

You deserve it.

Great!

Xiaoxiao!

Boss.

Are you alright?

Of course I am.

Don't know how your brother and Zhang Xiao got together.

That's their business.

It has nothing to do with me.

I know you're upset.

But if you love Zhang Xiao so much,

and are willing to do so much for her,

why don't you tell her how you feel?

Maybe you can still change things.

Are you bored or something?

Go wash the kitchenware again.

Go!

Ling Dang, get me another bottle.

It's not good to drink while you're upset.

Don't drink so much.

I'm not upset.

I'm happy drinking.

Get me another bottle.

I sent the last payment.

I heard many stories of you from your brother.

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

Thanks for your help.

Business is closed today. Please leave now.

Leave? Don't you want money?

Let's go.

What's going on?

I am sorry, everybody.

The boss had too much to drink today.

Business is closed today. Please come tomorrow.

Come on, let's go.

Sorry.

I am sorry. Please come again tomorrow.

- Ling Dang. - Sorry.

Get me a bottle.

Can't you tell we're closed for today?

My sister Ling Dang.

The same girl broke my heart twice.

Please get me a drink.

I'm not your sister.

Money, please.

So stingy.

Here.

Are you talking about Zhang Xiao?

Who else?

I don't get it.

What's so great about her?

She has so many admirers.

I need to clarify something.

I am different from all these guys.

Back in the day, it was Zhang Xiao who begged me to be with her.

It's a story of the past.

You can tell it however you like.

I'm not making it up.

When I competed in the school singing competition back in the day,

I just needed to sing one song,

and all the ladies in the crowd cheered.

They gave me chocolates, love letters, flowers.

It wouldn't even fit in a truck.

However,

there was one unique gift in the bunch.

It was Zhang Xiao's gift.

That's why I chose to be with her.

What did she give to you?

Height increase insoles.

I didn't know you could sing.

Underestimating me?

Watch.
