=Episode 13=

Why am I so unlucky?

Hello.

Xiaojue, it's Mengmeng.

Mengmeng, what is it?

I acted impulsively that day.

After hearing the truth from Tiehan,

I realized I had misunderstood you.

It's fine.

Just a misunderstanding.

Actually, I've thought it over carefully.

This isn't

entirely Huan'er's fault.

Hey, Mengmeng, are you there?

(Forgive me?)

Yes, I'm here.

Can you forgive me?

Mengmeng, what do you mean?

Don't mention that.

We've acquainted for years,

just let bygones be bygones, okay?

(Ask him out) Good then.

Here's the thing.

It's been a long time

since we graduated and gathered.

We're going to host a class reunion.

Can you come?

I...

I want to ask if Huan'er...

She...

(I'm dead) Don't care about her!

After what she's done,

I don't want

to care about her anyway.

Just think of it

as a chance to apologize to you in person.

Mengmeng, I just got back

and I'm quite busy.

And, I'm not in a good mood.

(Flattery) You're not in a good mood?

You know what?

You're the most successful person

in our class.

And everyone knows

you and I are close,

so they told me I have to ask you to come.

(Flattery) If you don't come,

I'll be embarrassed.

Mengmeng, you know Huan'er and I

just broke up.

If she shows up,

it would be awkward.

Just let her come if she doesn't care about the embarrassment.

Tiehan and I will definitely be on your side.

Then I'll think it over.

(Keep Flattery)

Xiaojue, you know what?

You're the key man

of us all.

All of us are dying to hear

about your experiences in the UK.

(Keep Flattery) Just come and share it.

Do it for our friendship.

Mengmeng, I...

This is for our friendship.

In that case,

I'll reschedule

and try my best to attend.

Since graduation,

it's rare for us to gather.

Okay, it's settled then.

Friday at 6 PM,

Pearl Hall, Crown Hotel.

See you there.

Crown Hotel. Okay.

Yeah!

Maybe I'm not that unlucky.

Key man.

Coming.

Coming.

Who are you?

You tell me.

You are so beautiful every day?

Of course, I am.

Why are you so happy?

My high school classmate just called,

saying they're holding a reunion to welcome me back.

A high school classmate?

Yes.

It's been seven years for you guys.

The relationship between you is quite good.

Holding a reunion for you?

Hard to refuse.

They invited me before, yet I always said no.

I'll just attend for once.

Will Miss Lin be going too?

Why do you always ask about her lately?

So care about her?

Think there's something between us?

If there's nothing between you two,

then take me with you.

They're all people of low level.

If you go,

they would come and flatter you.

Quite annoying.

You'd feel uneasy.

Really?

Though our family isn't close with the Zhu family,

if I remember correctly,

the daughter of Mr. Zhu,

Zhu Mengmeng was in your class, right?

Yes. We were classmates.

Her family is just as well-off as mine.

You've all been her classmates for three years.

I bet your classmates

are quite worldly.

Anyway...

Forget it.

You're always like this.

You don't take me to your house

or meet your parents.

Now you won't let me meet your classmates.

It's not surprising.

Maybe I'm not decent enough to be with you.

Die'en, I didn't mean that.

Die'en, trust me.

I have my reasons.

Just wait until I sort out my family matters,

I'll take you to my parents.

What family matters?

Well...

Tell me, what happened?

Tell me, what happened to your family?

Tell me!

It's not appropriate to tell you.

Considering our relationship,

there's nothing you should hide.

Just tell me.

My father

is seriously ill

and still hospitalized back home.

No money for his treatment.

He spent all the money

for my studies abroad.

We have to plead with the hospital,

"Don't kick us out!"

"Don't kick us out!"

My father is over seventy,

so I'm under pressure every day,

you know?

Don't be upset.

We'll find a way.

How can I not?

This card has 200,000 yuan I saved up.

The keyword is 000000.

Take it.

No, I can't accept it.

You've done so much for me.

I can't take your money.

Take it.

No.

I'll save my father

with my own efforts.

Just take it.

If it's not enough, tell me. Take it.

I can't take it.

Just take it.

Be good, just take it.

Okay.

I'll take it.

Don't be upset.

Die'en.

What can I do to repay you?

It's okay.

Things will be fine.

Die'en.

Thank you so much.

Die'en.

(Mengmeng.)

(Want to go to the art exhibition)

(together?)

I won't hang out with someone so foolish.

(Want to go to the art exhibition together? Sender: Silly Goose)

Mengmeng.

I bought tickets

for that exhibition.

- We... - I'm not going.

Mengmeng.

I was being too rash about Xiaojue.

I shouldn't have judged without knowing

the whole story.

And I should have trusted you.

Whenever you face a problem,

you only talk about facts and evidence.

At best, you're fair and impartial,

but really, you're just cold and indifferent.

Let me ask you. If one day,

you saw me getting close

to another guy,

would you judge me like that too?

No.

That's it.

No matter what,

you should trust Huan'er.

Trust us.

Sorry, Mengmeng.

We're going to have a class reunion.

Are you going?

Why?

Huan'er and Xiaojue...

Here you go again.

Didn't you just say

you'd trust us?

Are you going?

I-I'll go.

Mengmeng,

does that mean you forgive me?

Not exactly.

What do you want me to do?

Take me to the shooting range.

The shooting range?

The one near my place.

How did you know...

Secret.

This way.

I have a membership here.

You'll teach me twice a week.

You can't reject me.

How did you know I work here?

There's a bigger

and better range near your place.

Why come here?

Well,

I'll go demonstrate.

See?

Remember.

Spread your feet shoulder-width apart.

If you can't hold

the gun one-handed,

use both hands.

Go ahead, your turn. Try it.

But I'm too scared.

What's there to be scared of?

Just treat it like a toy gun.

Try one shot first.

Remember.

Relax your body

and focus.

Pretend nothing else exists.

Go ahead.

Try another shot.

Huan'er, what are you doing?

Compiling materials on punishing the scumbag.

You met Hu Tiehan?

How did you know?

Look,

your face right now

is radiant with happiness.

Thanks to your comic last time.

I bet Cheng Die'en

has understood it.

Huan'er, I'm sorry.

What for?

What did you do to me?

I always saw you and Xiaojue

as my perfect love story.

I never knew you suffered so much

in this relationship.

As a friend,

I am so incompetent.

Of course, it's not your fault.

I'd say

I deserve it.

But it's okay.

I was simple before,

but from now on,

I decide to treat myself better.

Huan'er,

does all love

end up like this?

I read in a magazine

that marriage is love's graveyard.

All love

will end up being destroyed

by such trivial things.

Mengmeng,

let's keep things apart.

In my case,

I was blind before.

And now I can see clearly.

Recognizing a scumbag

and dumping him

is worth celebrating.

But that's totally different

from finding true love.

Besides, I believe

not everyone is like Ou Xiaojue.

Right?

Tiehan would never do that.

Absolutely.

The hotel's booked.

Really? Well done.

(Pay me back.)

It's time to end this.

Thanks for everything you've done for me,

Huan'er.

Mr. Lin.

Xiaojue.

Looks great.

Right?

Where did you buy this outfit?

My company bought it.

Really?

I'll go over.

Okay.

Mengmeng.

Long time no see!

You're looking better and better!

You too.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Then I'll go sign in.

Right, you go sign in.

Long time no see.

Here you are.

Go sign in.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with me?

Nothing.

Good.

Nothing.

Good.

So is it good or not?

Hello, everyone.

Am I late?

Xiaojue, why are you so late?

Been waiting.

Hard to find a parking spot.

You know.

Xiaojue.

Juan'er.

Miss Li.

After so many years, you're still so

beautiful and fashion.

Studying abroad makes you different.

I've already forgotten

those English words

you said.

Talent Ou.

Mr. Ou.

Mr. Ou.

You were speaking a London accent just now, weren't you?

You know,

I've been abroad for far too long.

It's already become a habit.

But it's not hard.

Practice more,

and everybody can speak that way.

- Speak. - Speak.

- I know. - I know.

Okay.

Hello.

Why are you all standing? Take a seat.

- Let's go. - Take a seat.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Mengmeng.

I came today only for the sake of you.

Don't say that.

You came to meet all of us.

Please help me out

to expand my connections.

I thought you have connections from the Cheng family.

Mengmeng.

Some things aren't what you think.

Have a seat.

Mengmeng.

You look stunning today.

You too.

Thanks to you,

so we can gather again.

That's great.

I miss you too.

Mengmeng.

Those earrings really brighten your complexion.

Mengmeng, your outfit...

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Good, really special.

This outfit is good enough for a TV show.

It's too extravagant just for dinner.

I'll recommend to you.

Okay.

She's so dressed up today.

It's just a class reunion.

But she's dressed

like she's attending some gala.

So what?

She's a wealthy heiress.

Showing off won't hurt.

Luckily, she's a wealthy heiress.

Otherwise, she won't even make a living with her lousy comics.

Let's go.

Hu Tiehan, what's wrong?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I'm just a bit confused

which one is trash.

How dare you insult us?

He insulted us.

Let's go.

What have you been doing?

Just keeping busy.

Let's get ready to eat.

Come on.

Just sit down.

So, is everyone here?

- No. - No.

- Lin Huan'er. - Huan'er.

She dumped Ou Xiaojue.

She might not come

to the class reunion.

I think it's not

because of Xiaojue.

She's dating a rich man now.

Looking down upon us now.

When did that happen?

Hello, everyone.

Long time no see.

A luxury bag.

Look.

She's so elegant now.

Did you see that bag?

- So overwhelming. - So wealthy.

Dating a rich man really changes you.

You talk too much.

Is everything ready?

Everyone,

I propose we all toast to Xiaojue.

He's the pride of our class.

He worked hard to complete

his studies abroad

relying on his own abilities.

Xiaojue, well done!

- Good. - Come on.

Let's toast to Xiaojue.

Come on, everyone, toast to Xiaojue.

- Together. - Come on.

- Come on. - Come on.

Sit.

Sit.

Let me say something.

We've all been old classmates for years.

I'll skip the flattery.

Studying abroad for seven years

wasn't easy at all.

I lost count of how many dishes

I scrubbed and bowls I washed

to get here today.

It forged me

into someone who never quits.

But you still got dumped.

Xiaojue has a promising future.

He's totally different

from those dating rich men.

Dating a rich man is risky.

Once the rich man disgusts her,

she might get dumped.

She would lose everything.

Exactly.

- Everyone. - Let's wait and see.

I know

you all care about my relationship with Huan'er.

Now,

Huan'er has made her choice

and found her love.

I'm really happy.

Huan'er.

We'd been together

for seven years.

We shared many wonderful memories.

I'm very grateful.

Let's end this now.

Whether we

end up together or not,

I wish you happiness.

- How magnanimous! - How touching!

How can we end this now?

Ou Xiaojue.

That water I splashed on you

wasn't enough?

- Splashed water? - What does it mean?

Mengmeng.

Turn on the projector.

(Expulsion Notice of Ou Xiaojue)

Everyone, please look at the big screen.

What's this?

Look.

This is the Expulsion Notice

showing Ou Xiaojue was expelled

for failing grades.

Expulsion?

- Why? - Xiaojue.

His English just now was spot on.

- Yes, what happened? - He's so decent.

How did you suddenly become

a returned elite?

You want to slander me?

Faking a piece of paper like this is easy.

Fake?

What about this?

This is my bank transfer history,

showing I sent you the money I earned from working hard.

Hurry! Let me see.

Stop eating.

- Let me see! - So much money!

Let me see.

Oh my, Xiaojue.

Exactly.

You said you earned

the money by working.

Didn't you study abroad?

Xiaojue, give us an explanation.

Exactly.

I admit it.

When I was at my lowest,

I borrowed money from you.

But we agreed

it was a loan, and

I've already paid you back.

You paid me back?

(Mr. Lin,)

(I've borrowed a lot from Huan'er over the years.)

(She helped me a lot.)

(I'm very grateful.)

(This card)

(is me returning the principal and interest.)

(Please, you must accept it.)

(It totals 200,000 yuan.)

He's repaid the money.

He's repaid the money.

Right.

Xiaojue.

I knew Xiaojue isn't that kind of guy.

How could he possibly live off a woman?

Xiaojue has paid you back.

It's settled.

Why are you pulling this stunt?

Isn't it just right that he repaid the money?

But the money was repaid.

How can you accuse him falsely?

- This is pure slander. - Lin Huan'er.

I wanted to save you some face.

After all, you were my first love.

You were someone I once loved.

I'm still too kind and soft-hearted.

I never imagined

you would become like this.

Do you want our seven years together

to become a stain on each other's lives?

- Exactly! - Exactly!

It's been seven years.

Don't bring disgrace on us.

All for a little bit of money?

What about the three years

you were with me?

Who is this?

- Who's she? - Haven't seen her.

Die'en, why are you here?

Perfect timing.

I wanted to break up with her,

yet she refused to let me go.

You know?

He used Lin Huan'er's money

to study abroad with me

and deceived me, making me the other woman.

No wonder you didn't want me to come to the reunion

and refused to make our relationship public.

So you've been lying.

(If you're looking for me, it must be somewhat serious.)

What does this mean?

This is an empty bank card.

Ou Xiaojue will mention it to you soon

and you'll need it.

I gave you this for your father's treatment.

Why is it in Lin Huan'er's father's hands?

You tricked me into giving you money to repay her,

just to erase her seven years

of sacrifice for you, right?

You are really scheming.

That's not true, Die'en.

Let me explain.

It's not true.

It's all her fault!

It's all her!

Lin Huan'er's set all this up.

That's not true.

Don't believe her.

This isn't the truth.

Die'en!

Let me go!

Trust me, Die'en!

- Let me go! - Trust me!

Get lost!

Don't leave me, Die'en!

Die'en!

He's really a liar.

So that's the truth.

How could he do so?

What a "top student".

I trusted him before.

So he's just a gold digger.

What an embarrassment.

He's been deceiving us all along.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Don't worry.

It's not worth crying over a scumbag.

Good that you cut loss in time.

Thank you, Huan'er.

It's okay.

Thank you too.

I'm leaving.

Rest well.

Round two is on me.

Let's go.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulate to Huan'er escaping misery

and toward a bright future!

Thanks, Mengmeng.

May you get better!

Thanks, Tiehan.

May you find Mr. Right soon!

Thank you, Mr. Gao.

Cheers!

(Secret Recipe Wontons)

Let's play some games.

We already explained the rules.

Each card represents each.

Whoever gets picked

has to share a wish.

Me first.

Okay.

Let's see what it is.

King of Hearts.

Huan'er, it's you.

Huan'er, what's your wish?

Then my wish is

for smooth sailing

and

a swift finish.

Finish what?

To finish destiny's arrangement, of course.
