[Episode 1]

Ye Meng, you don't have to resign.

After all, this isn't your first loss to me.

Wait, you're better than me at flirting with men.

However, Gou Kai doesn't fall for it.

Jiang Lu Zhi, I know you love scum.

But don't use scum to disgust me, alright?

You're pretending not to care when rejected. It's so typical of you.

It's good for you to return home.

Since Gou Kai and I are together now,

you shouldn't stay here anymore.

How petty. Men are all you care about.

What's that supposed to mean?

Seems you're still clueless.

I've introduced the clients you stole from me to competitors.

Before you play a trick again, you'd better know who you're up against.

Jia Yu, help me with something.

Leave the big box. It's fine.

- Take this upstairs. - Okay.

Thanks.

Hello?

Ya En, it's me.

Cheng Kai Ran, what's up?

I hear Ye Meng is returning to Ningsui.

You haven't let it go after all these years?

She's not coming back. She called me days ago.

She said she bought a house in Jiangbei. I don't think she...

Ya En.

I'm busy now. Talk later.

Hello?

Ye Meng.

Fang Ya En.

Why are you back?

Just now, Cheng Kai Ran called me, saying you're coming back.

I couldn't believe it at first.

After all these years, he still won't let go.

How long are you staying this time?

I'll stay for a while. I resigned.

Lend me your concealer.

Why did you quit suddenly?

You got beaten up? By whom?

Man or woman? Did you fight back?

Did you call the police? With your personality, you won't take it lying down.

You didn't become a mistress, did you?

You suddenly quit and got beaten.

Listen, as your best friend,

I can accept you dating 13 guys.

But I can't watch you become a homewrecker.

Fang Ya En, have some faith in me! Do you think my morals are that low?

Why not say men are lining up to have me?

Here you are. Now tell me who it was.

You want to know? I'm not telling you.

- You won't tell me? You don't love me anymore! - Don't hit me.

- Here. - Almost done.

[Ye's Home 1705]

Coming!

Gorgeous! Come in quickly.

Careful, it's heavy.

- You're back. - You've lost weight.

We ordered your favorite dish, Nantang Crab.

Mom.

Meng, did you buy the limited edition item I want?

Sure. It's in my suitcase. I'll give it to you later.

Perfect!

- It was hard to buy. - Thanks.

Sis, add another dish. Dr. Gao will be here soon.

Which Dr. Gao?

No one special. Just a client of mine.

Auntie, what's this about?

Nothing much. Just a nice young man.

He is a doctor, a kind-hearted man.

He just brought me a big deal last week.

Since you're back, it's good for you to make new friends.

Come on. I just got back and you're already setting me up?

I can't believe you.

You never miss a chance to push your business, do you?

You think I'm that petty?

Listen, I'm not in the mood for this.

If you push me, I'll leave right now.

- No one's forcing you! - Enough.

Be quiet! Listen to me.

Meng, our guest will be here soon.

We can't be rude. Meeting him once won't hurt.

Unfortunately, our family doesn't have many children.

Your aunts have no children. And your dad only has you.

We've been expecting you to return and have a baby.

- Enough. Go with your aunt. - Come on.

Go inside.

You should remove your makeup.

Meng, how's this room? Your eldest aunt bought it for you.

Meng, wash your face and take off your makeup, okay?

Alright, I get it.

Let me help you.

Understood. I'll wait outside.

Hurry up!

Coming!

Dr. Gao, welcome. Come on in!

Hello.

Meng, come quick!

Dr. Gao's here. Come out!

Welcome! Please sit.

- Please come in. - Coming.

Dr. Gao, please, have a seat.

Take a seat.

Look how thoughtful Dr. Gao is. He brought so many gifts.

Madam, please.

Sit down.

Meng.

Okay, coming.

She just came back. She's dressing up.

Dr. Gao, which department are you in?

Orthopedics.

It must be an exhausting job.

It's fine. I was in cardiac surgery before.

Would you like a banana? Here, have one.

- I want one too. - No, thanks.

Give it to me. I'll eat it.

What?

Coming.

Your delivery.

Okay. Thanks.

Meng, your food is here.

Coming!

Almost ready!

Hey, can you help me?

Let me pour for you.

No problem.

Thanks. I made my clothes dirty. You look skinny, but you're strong.

Meng, come on.

[Hailan Bay]

Why's this a barbecue stall now? Wasn't this Nantang Crab before?

Nantang Crab moved long ago. Several shops have come and gone here.

Do you know where it moved to?

How would I know?

Alright. Thanks.

Where did you go? Dr. Gao is waiting for you. Come back now.

I'm taking Ya En to the hospital. We'll be there soon.

Take good care of Dr. Gao. I'll treat him to dinner next time.

[Nantang Crab]

What are you staring at? Don't look, or I'll charge you.

Your QR code doesn't even work. How could you charge me?

You can't afford to date without money.

Gotta go. I'm busy. Bye.

We meet again.

Want to friend me on WeChat?

No. I'm looking for Nantang Crab, but the QR code doesn't work.

That shop moved.

Far away?

Pretty far.

Are you heading back? Give me a ride.

Is my home not on your way?

[Nantang Crab]

Here you go. Enjoy your meal. Let me clear the table for you.

Alright.

Thanks.

No problem.

Excuse me, one crab rice.

Coming right up.

Here you go.

- Thanks. - Be careful. It's hot.

No problem.

Jin Yu, you're back. Thankfully, you returned today.

Otherwise, with your cousin away, no one could help me with deliveries.

The food's inside. Come get it.

Hello?

I just saw your message.

That crab restaurant we used to go to moved due to poor business.

I'll ask around tomorrow about the exact new location.

No need. I found it.

How did you find it?

I asked a young guy.

A young guy? Romantic encounter?

Why are you so confident about local boys?

By the way, if my grandma calls you, tell her you broke a bone.

Again? How many times have you made the same excuses?

Does your grandma think I'm surviving on sheer willpower?

Thanks in advance.

Bye.

Mom.

Don't touch me.

Hi, can I friend you on WeChat?

Done. Thanks.

I did it.

[Ye's Home 1705]

Stop! Come here.

What's wrong?

You are still up? Careful with dark circles.

Otherwise, I'll have to buy eye cream for you.

What's wrong with you?

Yes, I took the chance to discuss business with him today

and asked him to promote health products for me.

You can't see my good intentions, can you?

I just wanted to introduce you to a good man.

Mom.

Our family never breaks promises.

How dare you jump out the window when we have a guest!

You've embarrassed me.

Can we make this quick?

I'm exhausted from the flight. I want to sleep in the old house, okay?

Meng, your grandma moved in with us.

Why go back to the old house? That old house is falling apart.

Are you avoiding Dr. Gao's visit?

No, I just don't think he is right for me.

Didn't I tell you? I prefer younger men.

Younger men? Why?

So, you can make trouble together after marriage?

Mom, I can't agree with you.

Shut up, you moron.

Just go to sleep.

You speak.

How much younger exactly?

There's no fixed rule.

One year younger is fine. Even seven or eight years younger works.

You...

Oh, right, Ya En is still hospitalized.

Her leg's broken. I should bring her something.

Get back.

I called her. She's perfectly fine.

I'm furious.

Don't be mad, Mom.

What's this? Who is it?

Fang Ya En actually broke her leg.

What happened to you?

Ye Meng, you jinxed me! Look at my foot!

What did the doctor say?

It will take a while to recover.

Ye Meng? You're Mrs. Ye's granddaughter, right?

Yes.

It's been six years since you moved from the old house.

Mrs. Tou?

Sure.

Yes, we haven't met in years.

- You're so pretty. - Thank you.

Let me introduce him to you. This is my grandson, Li Ba Dou.

Say hello to her. She's our former neighbor.

He came to Ningsui after you left for Jiangbei for school.

You've never met him. Ba Dou, say hi to her.

Hello.

Don't mind him. He's a quiet boy.

He's terrible at talking and taciturn.

It's okay. Mrs. Tou, how did you hurt your leg?

I slipped while tidying up the greenhouse two days ago.

Be more careful.

I'm talking with my friend.

Come here.

What?

You never noticed such a handsome boy before?

He's average-looking.

Average-looking? Your standards are too high.

I prefer the obedient type.

Ba Dou, I want to buy this wine.

We can't afford it.

You ask Jiang to buy it. She can afford it.

Why should she buy it?

Aren't you two dating?

Your birthday's coming up. Have her buy it as your gift.

We just started dating. Should I really ask for gifts?

Do you think that's appropriate?

If you don't like her, I'll introduce you to someone else.

Mr. Liu's granddaughter is good.

She has a house, a car, and doesn't want a bride price.

She can even give you 300,000 as dowry.

Why don't you just sell me off then?

Whatever price you set, the money is yours.

You can eat, drink, and travel the world with that money.

I'll be some family's live-in son-in-law, taking care of their elders.

Would that satisfy you?

Get lost.

Mai, watch Grandma. I'll go pay the bills.

Put your headphones on. We're in a hospital.

Plug them in. You know how?

He's truly handsome and tall.

If you think he's good-looking, keep watching him.

I was watching him for you.

I'm not feeling well. Stop provoking me.

Hey, is your brother really named Li Ba Dou?

That's his childhood name. He wasn't pale when he was a kid.

My grandma said he was dark and skinny.

So, we've kept calling him Ba Dou.

His real name is Li Jin Yu.

J I N Y U.

I'm his cousin.

Your grandma mentioned his girlfriend, Jiang.

Why didn't she come?

She works in Jiangbei and doesn't have time. I actually really like her.

She's beautiful and makes a seven-figure income annually.

Her surname is Jiang? Is she from our local area?

Yes, she's also from Ningsui.

Is her name Jiang Lu Zhi?

Yes, you know her? She's quite impressive, isn't she?

I heard her salary doubled again.

She even switched jobs and became a manager at some service consulting company.

Jihe Company?

Yes, that's the name.

Wait, wasn't that your company?

Thanks. I'll leave you alone.

Did you quit because of Jiang Lu Zhi?

Exactly. She joined my company and took over my project.

Gou Kai gave her the client my team worked hard for six months to secure.

Jiang Lu Zhi hit you? Don't let me see that woman.

Don't worry. She's worse than me.

Let me go!

Jiang Lu Zhi, have you lost your mind? How dare you hit me!

What are you staring at? Stop looking, or I'll gouge your eyes out!

Come on.

Get out of here.

Enough. Keep it down. You're disturbing others.

Good for you. I knew you wouldn't take bullying lying down.

Thank you so much.

Wen, don't panic about the contract yet.

I'll ask Mr. Gou about it. Is he in?

Yeah.

Are you ticklish, Mr. Gou? You're not ticklish?

Apologies for interrupting. Is this a good time?

Perfect timing. Let me introduce you.

Ye Meng, Jiang Lu Zhi, you two know each other, right?

Sure. Long time no see.

Lu Zhi officially joined our company today.

The project you've been following will be hers.

What do you mean by this?

My team worked on that project for half a year, and you just handed it to her?

Lu Zhi might communicate with the client more effectively.

Oh, this is how she communicates?

Fine. Carry on. I'm going.

Hey, your girlfriend is Jiang Lu Zhi?

What about it?

She has another boyfriend in Jiangbei.

So?

So, she's cheating.

Are you telling me this to help me, or do you have a grudge against her?

Let me guess. She stole your man?

You might not know this since we just met, but I'm actually scum.

If you want to watch the drama, say it outright. No need to pretend to help me.

You're paranoid and blind.

The men she fancies aren't my type.

[Inpatient]

Everything's settled for you.

Where did you go?

I just paid bills.

That younger guy looked really upset when he came back earlier.

Did you do something to him?

I didn't do anything. What makes you think so?

I know you well.

What exactly do you know about me?

Fang Ya En.

Alright, what about Jia Yu? How about I send him to school tomorrow?

Don't worry about it. He's with my mom. You should head home.

Alright, I'm leaving.

Get some rest early.

Sir, do you have candy?

Candy? Your teeth are about to fall out. Aren't you scared your mom will scold you?

I didn't expect you to be so sarcastic.

Then take a guess.

Which of my four pockets has candy? Guess right and it's yours.

Liar! I bet none of them do.

I clearly saw you take it from your coat pocket.

I'm not lying. All four pockets have candy. Go on, guess.

Then I'll pick this side.

There is! You're the richest guy I've ever met, with candies in four pockets!

I don't even have pockets.

Just kidding. This is the last one. Brush your teeth after eating it.

Otherwise, all your teeth will get pulled out tomorrow.

Which room are you in? Can I play with you again?

I think you're cool, dressed in black,

like the awesome Grim Reaper from movies.

Are you trying to trick me for candies? I might not come every day. It depends on my mood.

Alright, I'm going then.

Otherwise, my mom will scold me again. Bye, Grim Reaper!

I hear you have a boyfriend in Jiangbei. Don't you give me an explanation?

I'll buy you some fruits. Okay.

Milk? Okay. Bye.

So heavy.

Sorry, our machine broke today. Hold on, let me calculate the price.

Alright.

19, 40, 58,

and 55...

178.8 yuan in total.

Yes! Exactly. You got math skills.

Thanks.

Take care.

68 yuan in total.

One moment.

After years of being a worker, I'm now serving you.

Since you jinxed me, isn't it your job to take care of me?

Sorry. What do you want to eat?

Forget it. I have a question. Has Cheng Kai Ran contacted you recently?

No.

Good. You stay home until I'm discharged.

Mrs. Tou.

Go on.

You know that doctor?

He keeps looking at you. You only know Li Ba Dou, right?

He's Jiang Lu Zhi's boyfriend.

Everyone around him gets crossed off my list.

Correction, ex-boyfriend.

They broke up? Who initiated it?

Drop the act, Ye Meng.

Don't you know exactly what you did?

What did I do?

You're not a nosy person.

You take it out on Li Jin Yu just because he's Jiang Lu Zhi's boyfriend, right?

How do you know they broke up?

Last night,

Mrs. Tou lectured Li Jin Yu all evening about their breakup.

I think Li Jin Yu is innocent.

You shouldn't have done that.

What? I helped him. He should be thankful to me.

Fine. I'll apologize to him, alright?

Sure. I pity that poor guy.

Excuse me.

Stop hurrying me! I'm coming. Got it.

I'll go out for a bit.

Hey, where does Li Jin Yu work?

Cheers! Thanks for coming, guys.

What song are you singing tonight?

Haven't decided yet.

Come out. We need to talk.

Excuse me for a moment.

What do you want?

I actually... You take the call first.

[Jiang Lu Zhi]

Hello?

I just saw your message. Sorry, Jin Yu. I'm currently...

Congratulations.

I'll explain when I get back. I'm sorry.

Got it. Anything else?

Sorry, I didn't tell you sooner. I've been busy.

But keep this from my family for now.

Satisfied? Now leave me alone.

Don't be like this. I know heartbreak sucks.

Why's there no signal?

Did a woman just leave here?

We didn't see her.

Did a woman just go in here?

This is the women's restroom. What do you think?

Sir, men's room is over there. Go that way.

I don't need you to tell me. Just do your job.

- Stop it, sir. - Ye Meng!

Come out! Let go of me!

This is the women's restroom!

Ye Meng, I know you're in there. Get out now!

Get out of my way!

Sir.

- Ye Meng! - Please don't do this.

Is there a woman inside? Answer me!

- Calm down! - What are you doing?

Don't make this hard for me. I can't explain this to my boss.

I'm the boss here. Let me go in!

What kind of boss are you? Let me tell you something.

Ten customers a day claim to be the boss here.

Go throw up somewhere if you're drunk.

- Stop it! - Move!

Ye Meng, I know you're in there. Come out immediately!

Need help?

Isn't it obvious? I'd appreciate it.

Call me brother.

I hate being called little brother.

Wait, do you think I can't handle this without a brother's help?

Get your hands off.

Ye Meng!

Stop staring! Hurry up!

Come on.

Push me harder. A little higher.

Check the window area.

Put me down! His men are outside.

Ye Meng!

Zhang, who hired this guy?

Security! Get security!

- Where's Mr. Wang? - This guy is harassing women!

- Let go of me! - Stop it!

Get off my leg! Now!

Come here.

Ye Meng! Get out here!

Ex-boyfriend?

No! Think of something.

Take off your clothes.

What do you want?

Take off your jacket and shoes. Wear mine.

Sit down.

Follow my lead later.

Where's Zhang?

You can't barge into the women's to find someone.

I know. Let go of me.

Who hired this stupid guy?

I'm telling you, I'm the actual owner here.

I'm going in to check if my friend is there. I'm not invading the women's restroom.

Mind your own business! Go back to your drinks.

He really is my boss. Get out of here.

And you! After getting paid tomorrow, stay out of my sight. Get lost!

Ye Meng!

What's up, Kai?

What're you doing here?

What do you think?

Stop doing this in my place, okay?

Did you see the girl who came in earlier?

I didn't notice.

My attention was all inside. Who knew what happened outside?

I was shouting so loud. You didn't hear anything?

Nope.

What's your girl's name?

I don't know. Never asked.

You don't know? Are you kidding me?

Let me see.

She's getting dressed.

Just let me check if she's the girl I knew. Okay?

Let me take one look.

You're actually undressed? Sorry.

So sorry, Miss! You're really bold, aren't you?

Alright, Kai. Save me some dignity.

Look, I'm okay with getting photographed. I have a thick skin, but she doesn't.

She needs to live in this town after this, right?

Where could she even hide?

What're you doing?

Make way!

Stop taking pictures!

He's already left.

Thanks.
