So this is where you were shot

3 years ago.

Looks like

you're not only ruthless to others—

you're even more ruthless to yourself.

Had your fill yet?

This suit and wedding gown

are a perfect match.

What a pity.

If there's anything you're unsatisfied with,

I can make adjustments.

It's a pity that my brother

went to see another woman.

The gown doesn't quite fit.

It's a bit loose.

This is an off-the-rack gown.

We can take Miss Fang's measurements

and tailor it.

I'll do the measuring.

Measuring tape.

Thirty-eight centimeters.

You're really crazy.

They're all watching.

Miss Fang,

why have you lost weight recently?

Are you really going to put on...

such a vulgar display in front of so many people?

You're right.

Someone as beautiful as Miss Fang

shouldn't be on display for everyone.

Get out.

Yes.

Let's go.

Whether you accept it or not,

I'm marrying your brother.

Don't do something this childish again.

A man who leaves you behind

to fuss over another woman—

are you sure you want to marry him?

You mean Ms. Ye, right?

Students,

throughout history, humanity

has long dreamed of flying into the sky.

And today, that dream

is no longer just

a romantic desire to explore the unknown.

It has become

a noble mission to defend

our nation through aviation.

Right?

Right!

Does anyone know

how to make a paper airplane

fly high and far?

No.

It depends on how you fold it.

Ms. Ye is right.

If you want your paper airplane to fly high and far,

the way you fold it

makes a huge difference.

This is a glider-type plane.

It can stay aloft at high altitude for a long time.

However,

if it runs into strong winds,

it won't fly very well.

Look.

Here's another design.

We just need to make one change to the wing.

And what is it?

-The shape of the wings. -The shape.

Change the shape of the wings

to reduce drag.

With this high-speed design,

you can also adjust the nose of the plane.

But while pursuing speed,

you'll inevitably sacrifice some stability.

This design

is best suited for someone as skilled as our principal.

Because it takes real technique to fold

and

real skill to throw.

In a moment, write your wishes

on the paper airplanes,

and then we'll launch them together,

okay?

Okay!

Principal,

what did you write?

I wrote,

"I hope Ms. Ye's paper airplane

flies the highest."

I noticed it when the aviation school opened.

Your brother treats her very differently.

So what?

A marriage alliance has always been about binding interests together—

no one cares about genuine feelings,

especially not in a prominent family like yours.

Besides, it's livelier with another sister in the family.

You're so tolerant of my brother,

yet you won't allow me anything at all?

That's how marriage alliances

work.

Young Master Qingyi, surely you know that.

Only those with ulterior motives

can endure what ordinary people never would.

Could it be

that you want to use my brother the same way

you used me 3 years ago?

You're hurting me.

I'm warning you—

if you dare,

I will kill you.

You're snapping at your brother every day,

but deep down, you actually care about him a lot.

What I care about

is making sure you don't treat my brother

the way you treated me.

Treat him how?

Like this?

Are you done measuring?

I remember all your measurements.

No need to measure again.

But I still don't know

your brother's measurements.

Ren Susu.

I mean,

this suit.

I wonder if it'll fit your brother.

You don't quite fill it out.

I'm warning you—

stay away from my brother.

Principal,

have you set a date

for your wedding?

Yes.

Congratulations.

I remember

we talked about our New Year's wishes last year.

Now the aviation school has gained public recognition

and valuable resources.

And I

have trained my first batch of students.

We've both made each other's wishes come true.

You're right.

Thank you

for coming to support my volunteer class.

No need to see me off any further.

We...

are not on the same flight path after all.

Mother,

I'm here.

Come on, come here.

Why'd you come?

Sit.

Jinrui, you've been doing skincare day and night.

Are you determined to look younger than me?

You don't understand.

Back when I

lived in the countryside, my skin was

constantly exposed to the sun and wind.

It felt like sandpaper.

I have to take care of my skin.

Boze,

you came so early.

What's the matter?

My father from the Li family has returned.

He's inviting

everyone over.

I'm observing a vegetarian fast,

so I'll pass.

If Mother doesn't want to go,

that's fine.

Let Qingyu and Qingyi go with me.

Qingyu has been

busy with the aviation school lately.

He has no time to go.

As for Qingyi...

in the future,

you don't need to bring him back to your family.

Mother,

Qingyi

grew up in the Li family

and has lived with Father Li for over 10 years.

They've surely formed a bond.

He must

miss Father Li very much too.

Don't worry, Mother.

I'll definitely take good care of Qingyi.

We're brothers.

Even though he doesn't see me as his brother,

I have to

fulfill my duties as his brother.

Qingyi.

Father Li is back.

He's missed you terribly.

Come back with me

to see him.

Inspector Li.

What brings you here?

My father from the Li family has returned.

I've come to invite Qingyi home

for a family gathering.

I heard Marshal Li is leading troops in the field all year round.

It's rare for him to return to Nancheng.

You three should have a good reunion.

But I didn't expect

you to be this close to Marshal Li,

even though you didn't

grow up in the Li family.

Yes.

Although my father and I

haven't spent much time together,

we've always kept in touch through letters and phone calls.

He's always taught me

to work hard in the police force

and keep the area safe and well-governed

so as not to disgrace his reputation.

Naturally.

So, is Marshal Li back this time

for Young Master Qingyi's wedding?

Marshal Li and the Huo family

go way back, right?

Yes.

My father has long

had dealings with the Huos in the arms trade.

My father is also one of the founding members

of the Huo family's Zunlan Elite Club.

Elite Club?

The Elite Club is

an exclusive circle the Huo family put together.

The city's prominent families

and influential merchants are all members.

I've heard that the Huo family only does

certain business with members of the club—

outsiders have no standing there.

I'm new to the city

and would like to expand my network.

Inspector Li, could you

introduce me to the Elite Club?

Unfortunately,

I'm not a member.

However,

if you want to join,

you could just ask my father.

Then may I

pay Marshal Li a visit today?

Sure.

I was just worried

that with Mother and Qingyu both busy,

it'd be far too dull with just Qingyi

and me going home.

Qingyi,

are you ready?

Get in the car.

Miss Fang is coming with us.

I've prepared some gifts for you.

Take a look.

I wonder if Uncle Li will like them.

Don't bother.

He won't like

anything I give him.

He doesn't like you?

"Like" doesn't even begin

to describe how Li Rongzhang feels about me.

She can't come.

Qingyi.

Miss Fang wants to come herself.

I don't think

Father would mind.

Let's just...

I mind.

Miss Fang.

It's fine.

You guys go ahead.

[Li Residence]

Qingyi,

it's been so long since you came home.

Do you still remember this parasol tree?

I asked Father.

He said

you planted it when you were little.

That's not a parasol tree.

It's a catalpa.

As in "the catalpa trees of one's hometown."

Qingyi.

The meal is ready.

Father will be here any minute.

I heard he brought back

quite a few bottles of fine liquor.

The three of us can

have a good drink together later.

I asked Father once.

I asked him

why our traditional Chinese courtyard house

had a Western dining table in it.

He couldn't be bothered to answer me.

Qingyi,

was he like this

when you were little too?

He's always been this insufferable.

He thought sitting so close to everyone at the round table

didn't show enough of his authority as the head of the household.

If you ever get the chance,

you can try sitting there.

Sitting in that seat and getting lectured

feels quite different.

You're here.

Father.

[Li Rongzhang, Head of the Li Family, Marshal of the Ying Army]

Does the Murong family not feed you meat?

Look how thin you've gotten.

Qingyi.

Come on.

Sit here.

At least you still know where your place is.

You're an inspector now?

How did you know, Father?

Uncle Lin told me over the phone.

He said you're now the youngest inspector.

Keep up the good work.

And don't forget

to repay whoever promoted you.

Don't worry, Father.

I'll do my best.

Since taking office,

the case clearance rate in my district has gone up significantly.

Father,

you and Qingyi

haven't seen each other in years.

You must have missed him terribly.

I thought that today the three of us

could finally sit down and catch up.

Remember,

you and I are the real father and son.

He's a Murong brat.

I called you here today

to ask when you're

going to marry that Huo girl.

What's it to you?

My army's short on supplies right now.

Let the Huo family provide some arms

as her dowry.

It's just some arms.

Marshal Li,

can't you afford them yourself?

Besides,

isn't it only

the Murong family...

that has the right to sell me off for arms?

With the Murong family in your corner,

you think you can stand up to me now?

Father,

let's eat first.

Qingyi doesn't have any cutlery.

He doesn't need cutlery.

Eat it.

Did your kitchen make a mistake?

He likes that.

Didn't the Murong family

send you away to study among foreigners?

You should like that.

Eat.

Looks like you've forgotten everything I taught you.

It's okay.

I'll teach you again.

Eat.

Father.

Stay out of this.

Eat.

Miss Fang.

Marshal, Qingyi forgot the gifts for you,

so I brought them on his behalf.

Qingyi,

they say guests should follow the host's arrangements,

but a guest should also be considerate to the host.

If the Li family can't even afford a kerosene stove,

we could just send one over.

Who is she?

This is

Miss Fang,

Qingyu's fiancée.

From Nanyang.

I've long heard of your esteemed reputation from Qingyu.

Now that I've met you,

you truly live up to it.

You act like quite the father

when you're lecturing someone else's son.

Miss Fang,

the Li and Murong families have been close for generations.

Qingyi and I

were switched and raised by each other's families.

We only returned

to our birth families at the age of 12.

So Qingyi and Father

are like real father and son.

That's just bullshit

to fool those

gossiping busybodies outside.

Father.

The Murongs have always cared too much about their reputation.

I don't.

So what if there was a mix-up at birth?

What's there to hide?

I'm telling you,

I

raised him.

Do you think I have the right to discipline him?

Then I was the one who spoke out of turn.

Allow me to drink this cup as a penalty

and a toast to you for raising Qingyi.

Since when does

an outsider like you, a mere junior,

have the right to speak to me?

Before you, I'm merely a junior, Marshal.

But as Qingyi's future sister-in-law,

it's only right that I look out for him.

Look out for him?

Oh, that's rich.

Come with me to the study.

I have something to ask you.

You're a Murong.

You don't have to take orders from him.

This is my own business.

It has nothing to do with you.

Inspector Li,

your family really is

the picture of filial devotion.

I didn't expect it

to be like this either.

Get in here.

Come here.

Light my pipe.

What are you putting on airs for?

You really think a few years with the Murong family

turned you into some refined gentleman?

Listen up.

To me,

you'll always be the jinx who got your mother killed.

My father has spent years away on military campaigns

and has rarely been home.

After Qingyi returned to the Murong family,

he studied overseas

and later worked in Beicheng.

For the past 3 years,

they haven't even seen each other at all.

My father may be a rough man,

but I've always felt

the deep love and care

he has for me.

So I never imagined

that things between him and Qingyi...

I didn't expect

their relationship

to be this bad.

Then...

what about your mother from the Li family?

What happened to your hand?

Compared to what you did to me,

it's nothing.

Now you're with the Murong family,

and you can't even keep yourself in one piece?

How did I raise you?

Useless.

If that's all,

I'll be leaving.

Stop right there.

You got a batch of planes for Murong Qingyu.

Yet when I ask you for some arms,

you keep dragging your feet.

Just marry that Huo woman already.

I don't have that much time to waste on you.

Who told you I'm going to marry her?

Who else would you marry then?

That Nyonya?

Useless, just as I thought—

too much of a coward to marry the woman you actually want.

Your brother gets to walk off with the prize, huh?

If you don't dare to marry her,

I'll snatch her away myself.

What did you say?

I said,

I'll snatch her and make her your new mother.

You dare defy me now, huh?

Look at your mother!

Am I wrong to call you useless?

Look at your mother's face!

And you still dare deny that I'm your father?

Mother, I'm hungry.

I'm hungry!

Mother.

Hungry? You're hungry?

You dare to be hungry?

If you hadn't been such a disobedient child,

would your father have treated us this way?

If he threw us out,

where would we sleep?

We'd end up on the streets, and no one would care about us!

Do you understand?

All you ever say is you're hungry.

I...

I didn't have an affair.

I didn't have an affair.

We have to be good.

That way, your father will love us.

He'll be good to us.

He won't kick us out.

Do you understand?

Don't listen to the servants' nonsense.

You are the child of your father and me.

Don't cry anymore.

Be good.

Then your father will treat us well.

We won't be kicked out,

and we won't have to sleep on the streets!

My birth mother passed away very early.

I never got the chance to meet her.

Qingyi spent more time with her.

I think...

my birth mother's death

must have left a deep scar on him.

If it weren't for you back then,

your mother wouldn't have died so young!

I've always

treasured the bond Qingyi and I share.

But he's always been so distant with me.

I foolishly believed that was...

that was simply his nature.

Now I realize...

Inspector Li,

you're one of the fortunate ones.

You don't know the pain of the unfortunate.

You dare raise your hand against me?

Getting some nerve, huh?

Father!

Father!

Father...

Father.

Father.

Nice job beating him up, Marshal.

Tomorrow's headlines across all the Nancheng tabloids

will write themselves.

A father teaching his son a lesson

is only natural.

If Qingyi has done anything wrong,

we will discipline him.

You have no right to step in.

Even if Murong Feng himself were standing here today,

he wouldn't dare stop me.

Who do you think you are?

Just like your dead mother—

you don't even know your own kind.

Useless.

One more step.

I dare you.

Get lost!
