[First Choice] [EP18]

I've got some good news.

I've never had the chance to share it.

Luo'an and I are getting back together.

She'll officially be Mrs. Huo from now on.

Does she have the right to be here now,

Uncle Gong?

Mr. Huo, are you admitting to

using your position for personal reasons?

I admit I paused the Dejia project.

But it's not because of Bai Luo'an.

It's because during my time at Dejia,

I realized its true purpose

and its incredible potential.

In here,

people could experience the beauty of art.

And through art,

they can ease mental stress and sickness.

Without Dejia,

none of this would be possible.

We're running a business,

not a charity.

You keep delaying things.

Don't you realize the cost to the company?

You don't need to worry about that.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Junyue and Ningxin have entered

into a strategic partnership.

They're investing in the company.

This is a partnership agreement.

I believe this outcome

should make everyone happy, right?

As for you, I asked you

to take over the Dejia project before.

What have you actually done?

Let Uncle Gong sell it off

to cover the debts you created.

Don't think that being careful enough

means no one will notice!

Have you got any evidence?

You should sort yourself out first.

You're blind right now,

yet you want to monopolize the company?

Come on,

let's see

who would want a blind man as chairman?

Huo Wei, what are you talking about?

You always let women do the heavy lifting.

Be a man,

Huo Ling.

Huo Wei.

You're my brother,

and you shouldn't let outsiders

manipulate you against your family.

Don't try to sidetrack me.

If you can, prove you're not blind.

If I remember correctly,

this blue shirt

was a gift I gave you last year, right?

[Even with past eye injuries,]

[the main cause of your blindness is]

[internal bleeding pressure on the nerves.]

[I just checked and found]

[that Mr. Huo's eyes]

[seem to be starting to respond to light.]

[Maybe after the surgery,]

[the hemorrhage is gradually going away.]

[Doctor,]

[when can I expect to be fully recovered?]

[It's hard to say for sure,]

[as it depends on your physical condition.]

[Just get some rest for now.]

[Awesome!]

[I'll go let Director Bai know.]

[No need for that.]

[The fewer who know about this, the better.]

[Since they all think I'm blind,]

[I'll just keep up the act.]

[That way, they'll let their guard down.]

[I know what to do.]

You're not blind!

How can that be?

If I don't do this,

how can I reveal your true intentions?

Uncle Gong,

those are your men, right?

They've all been caught.

If I call the police now,

Huo Wei,

what will happen to you?

You were behind my mom's incident, right?

Uncle Gong,

what do you have to say?

Keep your mouth shut.

Min Yan,

call the police.

Let her go.

Stay away!

Huo Wei, what are you doing?

Sorry, An.

Go and start the car!

Huo Ling!

Luo'an!

Luo'an.

Wei?

An,

time for dinner.

Tomato and scrambled eggs noodles?

I used to make this for you all the time

when I was at the orphanage.

Yeah.

But no matter how I tried,

I could never recreate your taste.

When you first came to the orphanage,

you were so skinny.

And I,

I wasn't much of a cook myself.

All I could make was this.

I thought

if I could get you to eat more,

you'd grow stronger and taller.

That way, when other kids picked on you,

you could stand up for yourself.

If I had the choice,

I'd rather never grow up.

If I weren't the illegitimate child of

the Huos, I could have stayed in the

orphanage with you forever.

What happened to you in the Huo Family?

How did you turn out like this?

Come on, eat.

[Wei,]

[from now on,]

[I will be your mother.]

After they brought me back home,

I genuinely thought I had a home.

I thought I had a family.

But when I discovered my true identity,

I realized

Fu Wanpei never truly accepted me.

She was just scared that

I'd take everything away from Huo Ling.

So she kept me at a distance.

She only brought me back after

Huo Ling lost his sight in the accident.

It's honestly quite ridiculous.

Back then,

I even wanted to cling to

that tiny bit of false warmth.

[Come on, Wei.]

[Dig in.]

[Thanks, mom.]

[Are you settling in OK here?]

[Come on, eat.]

[OK.]

[You are just too thin.]

[Ling,]

[go ahead and eat.]

[Mom, you should eat too.]

[Alright.]

But Huo Ling recovered not long after.

So I became a discarded pawn,

a pawn

detested by all.

[Mom!]

[Ling,]

[are you alright?]

[I'm fine.]

It was not like that, Wei.

They never truly accepted me

and never loved me.

why did they even bring me home?

I just lost my mother,

and now I'm losing you too.

Why could they just take away

everything that belongs to me?!

Just because I carry Huos' blood?

Is that the purpose of my life?

Wei,

you haven't done anything wrong.

Don't let others' mistakes weigh you down!

You have absolutely no idea!

I'm sorry.

An,

you're not me.

How can you possibly feel my pain?

How could I ever let them off the hook?

I have to make them experience

the agony of losing everything!

Wei, don't.

It wasn't like that.

Say goodbye to the teacher.

Bye!

Xuan, your mommy is here.

Bye!

Come here, Bei.

Your granny is here, right?

OK.

Bye!

Alright.

Mr. Huo.

What's the situation?

The car was abandoned in a

dilapidated parking lot.

There are no surveillance cameras,

so we don't know where they went.

But I've already sent people

to search every possible location.

We will hear from them soon.

It's my fault for not keeping Luo'an safe.

Huo Wei's behavior took me by surprise.

Mr. Huo,

it was unexpected.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Besides,

Wei and Director Bai have been

acquainted since their orphanage days.

He wouldn't harm her.

I pray Huo Wei won't cross

the line where there's no turning back.

Give Huo Ling a call later.

Think carefully before you speak.

Otherwise, I might just lose it!
