Episode 22

Don't try to persuade me. I know what you want to say.

I'm telling you, I'd rather be homeless on the streets than live here.

Sit down first. I want to talk to you.

I said don't try to persuade me anymore!

Sit down first. I want to talk to you. Sit down!

Do you know why I live with my uncle and aunt?

I know you enjoy being mistreated.

I was only fourteen years old when my parents passed away. I needed a guardian.

Relatives from both my paternal and maternal grandmother's side fought to become my guardian.

It sounds touching, doesn't it?

Do you know why they did that?

It's because they had their eyes on the inheritance my parents left me,

which is this house.

Later on, my uncle and aunt became my legal guardians.

As a family, they moved here from a ten square meters house in the countryside.

Even though they live in this house now and their quality of life improved greatly,

they continue to treat me badly.

Then how can you stand it?

You should make them get out, you know?

At that time, I was only fourteen years old. What can a fourteen year old child do?

Tell me.

Should I cry or throw a tantrum? Back then, I even thought about dying.

But then later, I thought that if I died,

then no one can clear my parents' name.

Also, this house along with the savings would then rightfully go to my uncle and aunt.

That's why I made up my mind when I returned from scattering the ashes.

Grieving, complaining, and worrying are all useless.

A person has to keep on living

in order to build strength to reclaim what has been lost.

Xiao Fei, I am a woman and I endured all this.

You are a man. What can't you endure?

No... How can you be so overbearing?

Can't I even complain a little?

You can complain, but you can't leave.

Fine, I won't leave. Okay?

I'll bear with it. I'll stay. I won't leave.

I'm telling you, that Xie Xiao Fei can't stay.

His family is bankrupt and might be burdened with a lot of debts. He doesn't have any money.

Money! Money! Money!

Is there anything else in your head?

Of course. Money is secondary.

Most importantly, your brother and sister-in-law past away early.

Tong Wei lost her parents at fourteen years old.

As her elders, we obviously want her to get married soon and have her own family, right?

Good. Now that is something an elder would say.

But the problem is that Wei Wei is determined to help Xie Xiao Fei.

As her uncle, she won't listen to me.

Dad, Mom. Are you talking about Tong Wei's situation?

Stay out of adult business.

Come on. You two adults know less than I do.

Tian Tian, what do you know?

I know that Brother Tian Yu can't forget about Tong Wei.

You are talking about the lawyer, Qin Tian Yu?

But doesn't Wei Wei also say that he is just a normal friend?

Dad, think about it. If they are just normal friends,

why does Brother Tian Yu always try to please me?

If he doesn't like my sister, would he even care about us?

That's right! Bo Wen, don't say I am nagging you, but your niece does not adjust well.

She doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessing. (T/N: taking everything for granted) She must be possessed.

This time, no matter what,

I have to take control of important events like her marriage.

I can't let her act recklessly.

Now that's more like it.

- Our child is here. - Cut it out, you two!

See?

I can't believe my dad.

He kept a 30-year-old photograph and wants me to find this guy.

How am I going to do that?

I think how difficult it is to find this person

has actually helped you and your dad.

Think about it. If he was out in the open,

would we get to him first? Your uncle would get to him first.

That does make sense.

But China is so big. Where would we look to find a person?

Thirty years ago would have been the '80s in China.

Look, this person was already dressed in a Western style.

He might be a foreign citizen of Chinese descent or an exchange student.

Of course, these are just my guesses.

We can use these as clues to find him.

Alright, I'll talk to Luo Bin tomorrow and ask for his help.

His family has a wide network of connections.

I'll tell Shan Shan to ask Lao Qi to keep an eye out.

It's getting late. Go back to your room and sleep.

But... it's not even 12 am yet.

Hurry up.

I'm not sleepy.

Then what do you want?

The bed is so big. It's not good to sleep by yourself.

- Don't you think it'll be warmer with me here? - Enough, enough.

- Why don't I stay with you for a bit? - Go back to your room.

Are you really kicking me out like this?

There's so many sausages, but you wouldn't let me eat dinner?

You won't let me eat? I'll still eat it anyway!

What are you doing?

Who are you trying to scare, walking around like a ghost at night?

You're the ghost. You must be a hungry ghost reincarnated with a guilty conscience.

No... What are you doing out here instead of sleeping?

None of your business.

Oh, I know.

You're running away from home.

Which eye of yours see me running away from home?

Then what? You are going to school with that backpack of yours?

No, it's fine. I'll go ask your sister.

Fine, what do you want?

What do you want?

If I tell you, you have to keep it a secret.

I'm hungry. I want to go for a midnight snack.

- I'm also hungry. - No.

Alright, fine. Come on.

So annoying.

Didn't you say you are going to take me to eat a midnight snack? What is this place?

The food here is really good. This is Shanghai's most popular

snack bar.

Shanghai's most popular snack bar only has this?

Wait until you taste the food, and then you'll know.

Here is your food.

- Thank you. - You dropped it.

It's fine. I'm already this poor. Dropping this is nothing.

Please enjoy.

- Eat, Hungry Ghost. - Is this edible?

Try it.

It's delicious.

The food here is awesome. Why didn't you bring me here before?

Who are you? You are Xie Xiao Fei.

Who would dare bring you to a place like this?

Waiter, bring me two more portions.

You're going to burst.

Why are you not eating? I'm going to eat all of it.

Just eat. Why do you talk so much?

I understand now.

Why would a little girl like you

come here to eat midnight snack? Won't you be afraid of getting fat?

I bet it's to check out boys.

No.

No? Fine, I'll talk with your sister about this.

Big Brother.

Who doesn't like handsome boys and beautiful girls?

Why are you being so secretive?

I don't know if he likes me or not.

That's so easy.

I'll help you. Don't worry.

What are you trying to do?

Just wait.

Hey, brother. What kind of guitar is this? It looks nice.

This just came out.

- Not bad. - It's alright. It's good for its price range.

Don't say that. The quality of a guitar can't be determined by its price.

Sounds reasonable. Do you play the guitar? What do you have?

The guitar that I usually play is worth —

Never mind. Let's not talk about that.

I'd like to play an expensive guitar too,

but I don't have the money. I've been saving up.

That's easy. If you have time, we can play together.

- That's great. - If you have a place, I can bring my guitar over for you to play.

Sure, let's exchange our WeChat.

No problem. Oh.

I didn't bring my phone.

Tian Tian, come over here.

Hurry up and get over here.

- Hi. - Hi.

Oh, let me introduce you guys.

This is my sister, Tian Tian.

You...

Classmate, are you okay?

- I'm fine. - I'm so sorry.

It's you?

Last time, I almost hit you when I was playing basketball.

It's been so long, you still remember?

I'm so sorry about that.

It's fine. I'm in the same class as Rebecca.

Rebecca?

- You don't know her? - Uh, I —

Stop with the you, me, and the Rebecca nonsense.

Hurry up and add his WeChat, so he can invite me.

Add his WeChat.

- Oh, right. You two go to the same school, right? -Yeah.

Then you two can exchange each other's WeChat and talk.

Then I'll search for you.

Okay.

Why didn't your sister bring me here to eat before?

I sent you a message.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye.

- Eat more. - Okay.

He doesn't know Rebecca.

Can you stop talking about this Rebecca?

Don't you think he's really handsome?

Did you see how he looked at me?

What do you mean? Am I not handsome? So childish?

I realized that you are not that unlikable.

Nonsense. When have I ever made anyone dislike me?

But compared to Brother Tian Yu, you are still lacking a bit.

Is that so?

Crossing the river and breaking the bridge. (T/N: abandon someone after reaching your goal) Give me back his WeChat.

You are the most handsome.

- You are the best. - Since you're paying for this meal,

I won't get on your case. Delicious.

No way!

What are you two called? Displacement. (T/N: describes being homeless and feeling miserable)

Screw you. What are you saying?

Xie Xiao Fei went from being a millionaire to having to rely on charity.

His ups and downs are too extreme.

Your relationship with him is sincere?

What do you mean?

I like him for him,

not for his family background or money.

He came to be the one you like because of his family's money.

That's correct. In your eyes, I am that snobbish, right?

Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something serious.

I'll treat you today. You have to help me.

What is it?

It's what I told you about before.

Help me find his family's business partner.

Never mind. I'll treat you today and for the next two months of afternoon tea. Can I not help you?

No. I sent you the picture.

Don't share it.

- Did you receive it? - Yes.

- This is it? - Yeah.

The missing Malaysia Airlines plane is so big that it had the whole world searching for over a year,

just to find tiny bits of fragments.

You only have this picture.

In such a big crowd of people, where are you going to find him?

Are you an idiot who talks dreams? (T/N: used to describe ridiculous people who says absurd words)

We must have a dream. What if it becomes reality, right?

You see your Lao Qi. He has such broad connections

and such a big business. Help me out.

Okay. I'll listen to whatever you say. I'll send it to him right now.

-Don't share the picture with anyone else. - You can trust me.

It's done.

Wei Wei, do you regret it?

- Regret what? - If Xie Xiao Fei never appeared, you could've been a happy wife of a lawyer by now.

Even if Xie Xiao Fei never appeared, I wouldn't be a happy wife of a lawyer right now either.

Qin Tian Yu and I are not possible.

Since we are talking about this, I don't feel regretful, but afraid.

If Xie Xiao Fei didn't appear,

I wouldn't have the courage to refuse the comfortable marriage life.

If he didn't appear, I wouldn't have the chance to fight by his side.

Then my life will be awfully boring.

I might always mistake familial love for romantic love.

But thankfully, he did appear in my life.

Well said. Goddess of optimism. Well said.

Beautifully said, we put our all for our love.

I feel like it should've been like this.

When we are alive, we must love and hate to the fullest.

If we suddenly died one day, we wouldn't have regrets when we close our eyes.

- Right? - Yes.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Xiao Fei, you want me to help you find this man with just this picture?

You must think I have magical powers.

If you ask me where to get good food and drinks, I can tell you.

But this, I can't help you.

But I can help you with something else.

What is this?

The key to the club's suite room.

- I can't accept this. - Why are you being courteous?

Am I not loyal to my friends?

Besides, don't you feel bad about living at your girlfriend's house with her nosy relatives watching?

Pack up your things and come live with me.

From today on, just think of yourself as my hostage and stay here.

When you pay back your debt, you can go.

I think I'd better not.

What do you mean?

I am different from before. I can't give you anything. I don't want owe you either.

But you already owe me though and it's a lot.

You think you can just break off just because you say so? Impossible.

Xiao Fei, look at your expression.

You merely encountered a setback. Is this necessary?

You can't have a comeback?

I don't believe it. How old are you? You can definitely make a comeback.

After you make your comeback, I'm sure you'll find a way to thank me.

That's why I've decided to continue investing in you.

I'm covering your room and board.

You're a real friend.

What did you expect?

What are you planning to do next?

Count me in on any new projects. Don't worry about funding.

I'm certain you'll make a comeback with your abilities.

Then you'll reward me for my outstanding service.

Luo Bin, I am very thankful.

When I need help the most, you lend a hand to support me.

I'll never forget this.

That's good. You shouldn't forget another person.

Who?

Chen Xi.

When something happened to you, she asked me to help you.

Without her, I wouldn't know what happened to you.

I actually feel quite sorry towards her.

We were about to say bad things about you, but then you came. (T/N: when an object of discussion unexpectedly becomes present during the conversation)

What were you talking about?

Talking about...

You guys talk, I have something to do.

Don't talk anymore. I know what you want to say.

I understand your good intentions.

But I can't accept them. Thank you.

You accept Luo Bin's help, but not mine. That's not fair.

Luo Bin is my friend. You are not.

I am not?

You never thought of me as a friend?

Then you thought of me as your... girlfriend?

Don't be like this. I am not in the mood.

My heart is dead. Xiao Fei, my heart is really dead. (T/N: to give up hope)

Even now, you still won't be my boyfriend.

I know clearly I can't partake in the drama. (T/N: don't stand a chance)

What's more, your relationship with Tong Wei is going so well.

I don't have the heart to break you two apart.

This is what you really think?

Really. So from now on, think of me as your friend.

I definitely will not have any other non-divided thoughts.

If this is what you really think, then I am very happy.

If you need help, please tell me.

You can't let Luo Bin have all the glory of helping you.

When you take back your power, I want a share as well.

Don't worry. No problem. I inevitably can't be without the both of you.

President Song, what are you looking at?

Looking at the news.

Manager Yang.

Mr. Red is here! (T/N: name for a popular, influential person)

Little President Song, I am here to talk about a collaboration.

Not welcome?

You are always welcome to talk about collaboration.

But the problem is,

you want to collaborate with me?

Are you suitable?

Soon, I will be suitable soon.

Do you want to know who ruined your Sanya project?

Who can else it be? Isn't it obviously your goddess, Zhao Chenxi?

That's wrong.

It's my goddess's god, Xie Xiao Fei.

Xie Xiao Fei?

Yes.

I don't know if you have heard recently that

Xie Xiao Fei's father lost his position in Xie Corporation.

I just drank to celebrate to that news.

It's too early to celebrate right now.

I heard that Xie XiaoFei is in Shanghai right now.

I don't think you want to miss it.

Yang Xiao, if you want something, say it directly.

I don't need anything.

I just want Xie XiaoFei to leave ChenXi alone.

Happy to cooperate with you.

Happy to cooperate with you.

You are going to Luo Bin's? Is he reliable?

Right now I have nothing, what can he do?

But I didn't think that Luo Bin would be such a good friend.

I still don't think he is that good of a person. Why don't you-

What should I do? Stay with you?

I know you want me to stay. Just say it. Why don't you beg me?

Don't think so.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

After I finish, I'll call you. Love you, bye.

You are being kicked out?

I am leaving openly.

Why am I this unfortunate?

You owed me three times, but now you have nothing. If I have known, I wouldn't have help you.

You sound so immoral.

So, you helped me to gain some profit?

That's correct, why wouldn't I?

I thought you help me because of my personality and charms.

Personality and charms? Why would you have such a big misunderstanding regarding yourself?

You know where I'm moving to?

The streets?

I'm moving to my friend's place.

Look at this, a key to a suite.

My friend say I can live there as long as I want.

You still think I don't have character and charms?

Do you regret what you just said to your brother-in-law?

There's still time for regret.

Let me warn you, Xie XiaoFei.

Don't think I am useless.

Qin have been rejected by my sister for five years, but he is still so polite to me.

If you treat me badly, I will...

What will you do?

I will help Tian Yu go after Tong Wei.

I am already together with your sister.

Can you face reality?

What? Both of you register your marriage?

No, right? Both of you are still have the freedom. Who gets together with who is not for certain yet.

Say it one more tim-

That's right

Sister-in-law, when brother-in-law leaves please help keep an eye on your sister.

Let's see how you act first.

Don't worry, I'll never treat you badly.

Take care.

Xie XiaoFei is here

Have you eaten? If you don't have money, I can help you buy something.

What did you come to do?

You just miss an interesting performance. Just finished ruining the bar.

You did this?

President Song, don't say anymore. You have already ruined the store.

Just go.

Xie XiaoFei is here, how can I leave?

What do you mean?

Nothing much.

I just want to ask you

Did you mess with my Sanya project?

You know there's problem with that piece of land.

You are putting people's lives in danger for money.

Who are you?

You dare to come and teach me?

I'm leaving this here.

Whoever dares to help you, I'll destroy them.

Luo Bin, if you consider me as your friend,

then tell him to leave right now.

If you let him stay here,

then we are enemies.

If Xie XiaoFei continues to stay here,

I'll destroy you.

Don't touch me.

Xie XiaoFei, if I were you, I'll leave right now.

I would never be a burden to my friends.

Who told you that I going to living here?

I just came here to say goodbye to Luo Bin.

Luo Bin, don't talk so much. // Thank you.

Take care.

Xiao Fei, stand right there. Come back here.

Luo Bin

That's not it, President Song. If you want to ruin the bar, you can.

I don't need it. Feel free to ruin it.

If you want me to tell my friend to leave, I can't do that.

What should I do? // Your father collaborates with Ke Wan Corporation.

You are not afraid.

But can he be the same...when he can't work anymore?

Will your father forgive you?

Song Haojie, you are too much.

-Think clearly-There's no need to.

I said it clearly back there. I'll leave.

Can you stop acting?

You think I don't know what kind of person you are?

You help me now, and when I become better later, you'll make me repay you, right?

For me, you don't need your shop and you don't care about your father?

Our relationship is that deep? For you to help me this much?

-What are you saying?-This is probably an act put together by the both of you.

Don't making me feel disgusted.

I can't bare to see this anymore, Luo Bin.

Both of you can continued to put this performance, but stop making me sick.

Oh right, Luo Bin. Don't contact me anymore.

Interesting

♫

♫

Hello?

What? Right now?

Hey, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of night but calling me out here?

I...really don't have a place to live.

I know, you were kick out by him.

This really is different from what you think it is.

It's because all my friends are so loyal.

So loyal, because they helped me, their shop was destroyed.

That's why I left.

Continue bluffing, who believes you?

Why would I lie to you? It's true.

Then did you tell Tong Wei about this yet?

As a grown man, how am I supposed to tell her about this kind of thing? Is it not embarrassing?

Then you drag me out in the middle of the night? Do you know what time is it?

You still want to keep your pride?

Ahh

I...really don't have any money at all.

Fine. Let's go.

This place is not bad.

This is all I have. You can have all of it.

Wait.

Take it.

Help me sell it.

How much is it worth?

If you are not lied to, it should be about 20,000 to 30,000.

How much of a processing fee will you give me?

I'll agree to as much as you want, as long as you

stop helping Qin Tian Yu.

Bribing me?

Sorry, I can't help you with this.

-Why?-You are so pitiful already. I don't need your money.

Am I, Xie Xiao Fei, this kind of person?

I am not helping you, and I will not help Qin.

If both of you want Tong Wei, then go fight fairly.

You better not tell your sister! Better not! Hey!

So pitiful

How's living at Luo Bin's place?

It's pretty good.

If you are saying it's good, then it must be pretty good.

After we deal with this, I'll go look.

Do you have something that you're hiding from me?

he also found me a wife.

Then you have a child with that wife.

And live happily as one family.

Although the wife is pretty, we don't have feelings.

It's not like you don't know that I only love you.

So I decided to follow you.

I'm kidding.

Actually, I think that

you don't need to go to Luo Bin's place.

Your relationship with Luo Bin is not the best.

If both of you start fighting, I will have a difficult time in the middle.

That's true. Luo Bin is pretty annoying

but in the most important time, he helped you.

If you say not to go, then I won't go. Waiter, check, please.

Hello, the check is 326 yuan.

Wait, let me pay for it.

I do have the money for food.

What plans do you have for tonight?

I am so free, what plans do I have?

Tonight, they're throwing a birthday party for me.

If you don't have anything to do, come with me.

Birthday? Your birthday?

Why didn't you say anything?

If I told you ahead of time, wouldn't that mean that I was asking for a birthday present from you?

Is it that you shouldn't ask for one from me? If you don't ask me, who would you ask?

You're really going to give me a present?

- I am. - Then I want the stars in the sky.

Tong Wei.

I'm kidding. You showing up there is giving me the best present.

If you really have to give me one, then give me a smile.

That's such a fake smile.

Go back and practice well. Show me tonight.

Okay.

How are things on your end?

Don't mention it. The people are so annoying.

I'll leave it to you.

The report is done. Can we leave early?

After all, this afternoon is your birthday party

Me too.

Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

What are you going to wear?

Hello, President Zhou.

Okay, you guys have worked hard recently.

It's our duty.

Tong Wei, today's your birthday.

You still remember.

I remember when you first came to CAEA, you were only twenty.

Are you reminding me that I'm old?

I'm reminding you that you don't have time to make mistakes.

I don't understand what you mean.

Recently, aren't you helping Xie XiaoFei deal with his uncle?

President Zhou, I think this is my private matter.

Do you think these are still private matters?

President Zhou, Xie TianCheng used unjust methods to take control of Xie Corporation.

Don't mix together your emotions and your work.

If Xie TianCheng is unjust, he will be punished by the law.

It's not up to us to uphold justice.

I believe there is a order within the workplace,

Tong Wei, don't forget that you are part of CAEA.

Don't bring trouble for the company because of your private interests.
