[First Choice] [EP08]

What's wrong with you?

- Boyang. - You want to be like her, huh?

Xie Boyang.

Don't come over.

Zhao!

Mom!

Don't act rashly.

Release Zhao and Lingmei,

and I'll pretend nothing happened.

The woman next to you

is the cause of my situation.

You want me to

pretend nothing happened, huh?

I can't do that, Huo.

I'm the one you're after,

right?

Then, let them go.

All you want is money, right?

I do want money,

but having more of it

won't make me feel any better.

Zhao!

Stay away.

Mom!

Don't hurt her!

Swap her for me!

Take me!

- Take me! - Take me!

I'm the one who fired you.

No one else is involved in this matter.

I won't run away.

It's safer to take me.

You need money.

I'm the chairman of the Junyue Group.

Take me.

Bai Luo'an,

both men are willing to

sacrifice themselves for you.

- You're quite something. - Mom!

Don't listen to them.

I'm Zhao's mom.

It's best to take me.

What did I tell you?

You can only listen to me.

Zhao is my child,

Xie Boyang,

Mr Xie.

You want to seek death,

Mom.

so why don't I prevent you?

Zhao.

Mom,

Mom.

Zhao,

Zhao,

come over here.

Zhao,

Zhao.

Huo Ling!

Come over here,

Zhao.

Luckily, both you and Zhao are safe.

Mr Huo.

Take a check.

The police will be here soon.

Alright.

No worries.

Huo Ling,

you're awake.

I'll get the doctor.

Stay, please.

Just thinking about Xie Boyang possibly

hurting you freaks me out.

Seeing you safe is

the only thing that calms me down.

But you're the one who's hurt.

- You shouldn't... - Luckily, it's me.

I promised to

keep you and Zhao safe.

Luo'an,

I can't keep torturing myself like this.

We've lost five years.

Let me take care of you and Zhao

from now on,

okay?

Huo Ling,

if we start anew,

things might not improve.

I'm doing good now.

I have Zhao,

a job,

and a fresh start.

Hold on.

Are you

bleeding?

Let me check.

Luo'an,

why can't we start over?

Ling,

how did you get hurt?

Nothing serious.

It's just a flesh wound.

What do you mean it's nothing serious?

If you don't

care about yourself,

at least think about me.

You're my only son.

What would I do

if anything happened to you?

Luo'an,

I've heard you're back.

Mrs. Huo.

So, did you have something

to do with Ling's injury?

I owe Huo Ling this time.

Don't say that.

If you owe someone, you need to repay.

You can never truly break away

if you keep going back and forth like this.

Am I right?

Mom,

if you have nothing else to do,

you and Qingyi should head home.

Then,

I'll take my leave.

Okay,

go ahead.

Don't move. Lie down.

Ling,

Qingyi and I came to see you,

but you only care about her.

- Do you know that? - Min Yan,

it's getting late.

Take my mom and Ms Shen home.

Ling,

Mrs. Huo is concerned about you.

Now.

Ling,

do you treat a stranger better than me?

Aren't you worried that I might get hurt?

Mom,

do you ever consider what I want?

Okay,

you should get some rest.

Qingyi,

let's go.

Gather more details about

Zhao's background and

Chen Wenshi's connection with Luo'an.

Understood.

I'll work on it right now.

What did the police say?

Xie Boyang already admitted to everything

and was sent to the prosecutor's office.

Great news.

Wenshi,

are you okay?

I'm good.

You go home.

I'll take care of Zhao here.

What's the big deal? You're still

so formal after all these years.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for everything

over the years.

I you keep this up, I'm going to be upset.

I've always treated Zhao like

my own daughter for so long. It's too late

for you to act like you don't know me now.

Am I never

going to be her dad?

What's with the talk?

In Zhao's heart,

you'll always be her long-leg daddy.

Mr Chen, congrats!

The Huo Family won't ever accept Luo'an.

You gotta step up your game, huh?

Despite spending so much time together,

you failed to make Bai Luo'an your woman.

Does she consider you as a man?

If Huo Ling treated you like a woman,

you wouldn't come here to vent your anger.

Chen Wenshi, I told you that

we're not enemies.

But we can't be friends either.

Do you realize that

you wouldn't stand a chance

if Huo Ling knew Zhao was his child?

Shen Qingyi,

Huo Ling doesn't even like you.

Is it really worth all the hassle?

At least I'm trying,

unlike you,

who's holding back like a coward

in the name of friendship.

Mr Huo.

Come on in.

Mr Huo,

your suspicions were spot on.

Zhao's birth date

was tampered with.

I tracked down the hospital where Zhao

was born and uncovered her birth date.

Zhao's birth date wasn't four years ago

but five years ago, on New Year's Eve.

Seriously?

Say that again!

I'm telling you,

Zhao was born five years ago,

on New Year's Eve.

If that's the case,

Ms Bai would have been

three months pregnant

when she divorced you.

After the divorce,

she landed a job as a waitress at a

Western restaurant and met Chen Wenshi,

a part-time performer there.

Who let her

have Zhao in secret

and let Zhao

call that flute player long-leg daddy?

And now she's trying to

fool me with this cheap trick.

I'd never have known I had a daughter

if I weren't sharp.

I think it's because she's worried you

won't let her have Zhao if you find out.

That's impossible.

After all, you disliked her so much that

even when she saved Mrs. Huo,

you thought she was trying to

look good and get some forgiveness.

That's not the same thing.

Zhao is a fresh life.

She's got the same blood

running through her as me.

That's why I feel

so connected to her.

The bond of blood

is so magical.

You've never been a dad.

I guess you wouldn't understand.

And you know what?

Zhao looks like

a younger version of me.

Yeah.

Can you grab my phone?

I want to order

some gifts for Zhao.

Hold on,

I'll fetch it for you.

By the way,

does your wound hurt?

I'm good.

Alright, I'll grab your phone for you.
