Next, let me introduce our second auction item.

Qinghua porcelain vase with dragon and lotus motifs.

As you can see here.

It features elegant shaping and fluid lines.

With centuries of history,

it remains well-preserved.

Lei.

Does it look good?

Quite exquisite.

You like it?

I can't give you this one.

But this one is fine.

No need.

Don't move.

Auctions

are just excuses for show.

Charity's the real purpose.

Kindness matters most.

That's why you won't find

real treasures here.

You think it's worth three mil?

Take it if you like it.

It suits you.

Isn't it lovely?

So beautiful.

It was made for you.

It's yours now.

Let's go, dear.

What a trinket.

What else do you like?

I'll bid for it next round.

Know your limits.

Be gracious.

You said it.

Remember to smile.

Ms. Xu, hello.

Mr. Shen.

What an enviable couple.

So beautiful.

Hello, Ms. Xu.

Mr. Shen.

Good evening, viewers across the nation.

Welcome to Financial News. I'm host Xu Yan.

Groundbreaking ceremony of Jinda Group's Huanyu International real estate project

successfully concluded today.

This 300,000 square meter development

features not only luxury residences,

but also international-grade office towers

and premium shopping complexes.

It's crowned as Jinda Group's flagship endeavor.

(Good evening, everyone.)

(This is Entertainment Frontline.)

(At Jinda Group's recent groundbreaking event,)

(we met picture-perfect newlyweds.)

(They sweetened our screens.)

(Shen Haoming, Xu Yan, a couple's quiz) (Sugar overload warning!)

(You maintain such marital bliss.)

(Any secret formula?)

(Share with our audience.)

(No secrets here,)

(just good fortune.)

(Then comes)

(mutual admiration between partners.)

(I respect her capabilities,)

(but most commendable is that)

(despite having easier career options)

(or even choosing domestic life,)

(she pursued her childhood dream.)

Yan, your tea.

First time seeing a host report on her own husband's business.

You two look perfect together,

just like a match made in heaven.

Your husband clearly adores you.

Yan, are you tired?

Take a breather then.

I'll monitor the edits.

Call me anytime.

(Grandma calling)

Hello, Grandma.

Yan,

how have you been lately?

Why do you ask?

Nothing.

I just saw you on TV. You looked a bit unhappy.

I'm just worried you're going through some trouble.

If I'm overthinking it...

I'm glad you're okay.

Good that you're okay.

(Yan) Everything is fine.

Don't worry.

Okay.

That's good.

Yan,

you've had such a tough journey building your career.

Now that you've found a job you love,

you must cherish it.

Whether it's work

or personal life,

be down-to-earth.

As for me,

I'm getting old.

I won't be around much longer, right?

Don't talk like that.

I'll take leave next week

and spend more days with you,

okay?

No need, really.

If you have time for a vacation,

find a nice place

and travel with Haoming. That'd be lovely!

Take lots of photos to show me.

I'd be so happy.

We have plenty of time together.

I just miss you.

I want to come home.

I miss you too.

Do you want to have a child?

I want a great-grandchild.

Grandma.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Yan,

- you're finally back! - Hello, madam.

Your grandma fainted last night.

We rushed her to the county hospital.

County hospital?

Your parents went too.

Yan,

you're here.

Check on Grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Yan.

Yan,

don't worry.

The doctor said

she had transient cerebral ischemia.

Luckily, we brought her in time.

She's stable now.

She'll be fine.

When will she wake up?

She's just weak,

and needs rest now.

You can go home.

I'll stay.

Let's all stay together.

I'll be fine here.

Okay.

We'll relieve you tomorrow morning.

If anything happens,

call us, okay?

(At this moment, I decided to divorce Shen Haoming.)

(If not for maintaining lies,)

(Grandma could've seen me in a wedding dress.)

(If not for maintaining lies,)

(Grandma should've been by my side,)

(rather than collapsing alone and helpless.)

(My only chance to make amends)

(is to completely end the lies myself.)

Who told you to come back?

You're awake.

Still feeling unwell?

Have some water.

Come on.

Small sips.

Small sips.

Don't choke on it.

Are you feeling okay?

Yes.

Yan,

raise my bed a bit straighter.

Why? It's the middle of the night.

Just sleep.

Just do it.

- It's okay. - Okay?

Okay.

Yan.

Something's bothering you.

Tell me about it.

Come back to Jingzhou with me.

Once you're discharged,

we'll go pack your things, okay?

I've lived in the countryside my whole life,

and I enjoy the peaceful life here.

I know.

So I've thought it through.

We can rent a place with a small yard

in the suburbs of Jingzhou.

You can grow flowers and plants there,

just like you do now. How's that?

That does sound nice.

I know you're worried about me,

but working alone in the city must be so hard for you.

I just want you to live your own life well.

Your happiness is my happiness.

I'm doing fine.

Don't worry about me.

Folks like us from the countryside

are used to living in old houses

and doing farm work.

Suddenly moving away

and settling

into a big city house

would leave me feeling lost.

My whole being would feel uneasy.

Got it.

I'll sleep now. You should leave.

Mr. Shen,

the legal risk report requires your signature.

Mr. Shen,

I have some information about your wife.

Go on.

She is looking for a divorce lawyer.

She won't divorce me.

I recommend making early preparations,

just in case.

Now's critical for her job confirmation.

She's worked so hard

for that position.

She won't give it up now.

Nor will she abandon everything she's achieved.

(Shen Haoming)

(Divorce Agreement)

Let's get divorced.

Didn't we clarify everything last time?

What do you want now?

I'll leave with nothing,

not taking a cent from you.

Xu Yan, you know very well

that once we divorce, the luxury cars,

mansions,

chauffeurs,

maids,

designer goods,

and all Shen family resources

will be stripped from you.

They were never truly mine.

And I don't need them anymore.

Or do you think now that you have your career

and that host position within reach,

you can afford to be reckless?

Mr. Zhou,

as we previously agreed,

my sponsorship

will be postponed.

Should I send it?

(Fang Lei)

(Audio Recording)

What do you want?

Fang Lei,

I'm warning you to stop harassing my husband.

(Cancel)

If you have any dignity,

disappear from our lives.

Who are you to order me?

I put the past down

to your youth and immaturity.

But if you keep this up,

you're deliberately destroying a marriage.

If your parents also have any dignity,

I advise you to stop.

Is that a threat?

(Fang Lei) Xu Yan, let me be frank with you.

I returned just to be with Haoming.

I don't care if he's married.

I made myself clear last time.

Haochen is Haoming's son,

and I'm Haochen's aunt.

I've already won this battle.

(End) The one clinging to the Shen family...

Do you want an amicable divorce, or a fight to the bitter end?

The choice is yours.

♪Misplaced glory is just danger's omen♪

I'll come collect my things soon.

Where will you move?

There are divorce procedures

and documents requiring your signature.

I'll text you the address.

Ten o'clock on the 8th,

at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Thanks to my two kind and beautiful treasures.

That six-hour midnight session was absolutely perfect

and unforgettable.

As long as it satisfied you and your man.

Go to our place tonight.

Wait.

Should I treat you?

Why going to your place?

You'll see.

We came to pick you up.

Xu Yan.

Here for Lin?

Perfect. Let me update you on her recent progress.

Her teacher said she's attentive in class lately.

No more skipping school,

and has become humble

in seeking help.

Her grades have really improved.

Thanks.

Please keep looking after Qiao Lin.

Don't worry.

Why not go in?

I saw her leave.

I have something to attend to. I'm leaving.

Alright.

I'm taking out trash. Let's walk.

Fate's funny.

The previous tenant just moved out

when you came back.

It seems like this apartment was waiting for you.

Same terms as before. Deposit one, pay three.

Here's your key.

Thank you.

I'll get going then.

If anything comes up, just call me.

Thank you.

It's okay.

(Director)

Hello, sir.

Yiming,

the next surgery is in the next week.

This is a high-risk procedure.

As you know, the patient's family

has reservations about you.

So failure isn't an option here.

Otherwise, the malpractice fallout alone will ruin you.

Understood, sir.

Get some good rest.

What are you doing?

Stress relief.

Still worried about the surgery?

Then come with me.

Where to?

We've got six hours until dawn.

No point wasting time here, right?

Seriously, what's your plan?

Come on, I don't bite.

Come.

Let's go. Move.

Hello.

Ms. Xu, I haven't seen you in ages.

What service would you like today?

Your favorite masseuse is available.

I'll have her come down.

- No.3, come down. - Can I cancel my membership?

Ms. Xu,

was our service unsatisfactory?

You're not switching to our competitor, are you?

Ms. Xu,

please share any complaints.

We'll...

Just process the refund, please.

Okay. Come with me.

Thank you.

Ms. Xu,

your refund is processed.

Thanks.

Excuse me,

I didn't get the refund notification.

Could you double-check?

Refunds go back the same way they were paid.

Your husband opened this account with you.

Now I remember.

Thanks.

(Hengyue Law Firm) That guy

is 19 years younger than my mom.

At first, he sweet-talked my mom

to buy him houses and cars.

Alright.

After succeeding, he started coveting our family's shares.

This young wolf sure knows his tricks.

My mom's currently blinded by passion.

But I won't stand for it.

I need to protect my own interests.

Mr. Qiu,

regarding my portion of the assets,

what should I do?

We've noted

your requests.

We'll draft the contract and email it to you by tomorrow.

We can talk again if there's a problem.

I have three strategies.

Is that man earlier

a lawyer?

Mr. Ding

specializes in divorce.

He's famous in legal circles.

He handles only top-tier clients.

Divorce lawyer?

Did Yan's field interview schedule change?

I haven't heard anything.

Yan is not just asking for leave,

she's asking for an extended leave.

You didn't know that?

Why would she take an extended leave all of a sudden?

Could it be some big news

about a baby?

I heard she's getting divorced.

Could there be an affair?

I really don't know.

I said nothing.

Come in.

Haoming.

Where's Mr. Fang?

I had my father's secretary tell you this.

Haoming,

Haoming.

Don't you always keep things business?

Okay.

Let's discuss business then.

My father and I contributed to the New District project.

A business dinner isn't unreasonable, right?

Is this really necessary?

I heard you're divorcing.

It seems true.

I heard she hired a lawyer.

I knew it.

Someone like her

only pretends to love you.

Once realizing she can't control you,

she finds escape routes,

maximizing her gains.

Haoming.

Yan,

the interview's in the executive lounge on this floor.

The guest will come

after makeup.

When will you see clearly?

I'm the one who truly loves you.

Before my divorce,

you're the other woman.

How could she hit me?

Xu Yan, stop right there!

She's right.

Who said we're divorced?

Couples quarrel sometimes, okay?

You're the Fang family heiress. You can't be the other woman.

Think carefully.

Stop bothering me.

Yan,

there've been rumors lately

that you and Mr. Shen are getting a divorce.

Everyone's buzzing about it.

Even the management are discreetly asking.

I'm sure

Sun Siwei started these rumors.

But Yan,

your move to host the evening news

was practically confirmed.

Now suddenly they favor Sun Siwei

and start the restructuring

to cut some shows.

Family Feast's sponsors are meddling too.

I heard they secretly contacted Sun Siwei's team.

Yan,

really divorced?

You scared me.

I knew it.

You two were so close.

How's this possible?

But occasional arguments between couples are normal, right?

Don't worry about it.

Go back to work.

Alright.

I'll get back to work.

But listen,

handle any issues properly.

Don't act impulsively.

Xu Yan, the star host.

Aren't you working today?

You saw me?

I'm just concerned about you.

After you secured the host position,

I was going to buy flowers to celebrate.

But look what happened.

News about your divorce is spreading everywhere.

The situation looks bad.

You never fix your issues.

I've told you countless times.

Focus on your own work.

Then it won't be like this.

Such a hypocrite.

Focus on yourself?

You really think your hosting skills

made others concede defeat?

I don't know if they

concede defeat.

But you...

You used your husband's connections

to invite those elites to Family Feast, didn't you?

Otherwise, who would even know you,

let alone talk to you?

You only got this position because your husband

struck a deep strategic deal with them

and built up trust with them.

They say they concede defeat,

but it's not you they respect.

It's your husband.

Now that divorce rumors have just started,

your position's already crumbling.

Xu Yan,

think carefully.

What's truly yours?

Hello?

Xu Yan, come to my office.

Okay.

Xu Yan,

we received an anonymous tip

about you falsifying family background.

What's going on?

Sir,

I'll resign.

Why?

Your marriage really...

Nothing to do with my husband.

I'm just tired.

(The key is controlling the heat.)

(Oil temperature matters too.)

(Should beef use higher heat?)

(It depends on the cut.)

(You also...)

(Inviting you was clearly the right call.)

(Okay, your dishes are nearly ready.)

(The studio's filled with aromas.)

(These scents make me homesick.)

(All my career achievements)

(were just fleeting illusions.)
