=Episode 30=

Thank you.

This is considered a celebration banquet today.

Of course.

Lin Tao,

do you know how I felt when the bank notified me

that the loan was disbursed

into the company's account?

I was overjoyed.

That was special privilege.

How did I get such an amazing friend?

A thousand words come down to this.

Thank you.

Thank you for doing me such a big favor

and helping Yan Studio.

This is actually

the first time we're dining

in such a nice restaurant atmosphere

and you're speaking to me

so gently.

For this moment,

I feel

every effort was worthwhile.

Why are you talking so strangely today,

Lin Tao?

Am I?

Stop overthinking, okay?

What do you think I'm thinking?

Then I'm overthinking.

Anyway, now we are just

good colleagues.

Nothing more, right?

Who says nothing?

I worked tirelessly

for you,

creating that perfect

financial report.

I boosted Yan Studio's profits

to 21 percent.

That's what convinced the bank.

Wh-What do you mean?

With Yan Studio's current operations,

we couldn't meet

the bank's loan standards.

It's all because they saw my report

that we slipped through

and the approval went smoothly.

Lin Tao,

this counts as fraud.

This is loan fraud.

Not me.

It was your sister,

Yan Studio's legal representative,

Xu Yan.

What are you implying?

What do you want?

What I want

has never changed.

Break up with Yu Yiming

and marry me back home.

Wait, Lin Tao.

Didn't you let this go already?

What? You were faking it?

You've been acting all along?

I can report you.

I'll go report you right now.

- I'm warning you. - Go ahead.

Go right now.

I'm just an accountant.

Without authorization from the legal person,

would I dare to cook the books?

Why would I even need to do that?

Every cent of the company

didn't enter my pocket.

Besides,

the stamp on the report

was applied by you, wasn't it?

The company has surveillance.

I checked it.

Your stamping process

is crystal clear.

If you dare report me,

I'll drag Xu Yan down with me.

The legal representative bears primary responsibility.

Yan Studio is already crumbling

under Shen Haoming's influence.

Can you withstand the bank's investigation?

You're truly terrifying.

We kindly took you in

to work at the company,

and you repay us

with betrayal?

Be realistic, Lin.

Call me despicable

or filthy,

whatever you like.

(Balance Sheet)

But today,

you must make a decision.

Right now.

Or else,

it's mutual destruction.

As long as you

promise me

that my sister

and Yan Studio

won't be troubled.

(Balance Sheet)

I'll do it.

So,

when will you break up with Yu Yiming?

No need to rush this.

Can't you give me some time?

Fine.

One week.

Jinsong. Jinsong.

Quick, call the doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Jinsong!

Jinsong!

Are you okay?

Hurry!

Jinsong!

How is he?

Family members out please.

Calm down.

Please wait outside.

You'll hinder the resuscitation.

- Jinsong. - Please leave now.

Prepare for CPR.

(Haoming)

(Haoming)

Hui,

please look after Haochen.

Emergency at the hospital.

Okay.

Mom.

You're here.

How is he?

His blood pressure and pulse dropped earlier.

It took a long time

to bring him back.

He just finished tests.

All vitals are stable now.

It's fine.

How's Haochen?

Same as before.

Haochen can't have any more setbacks.

Yan, I'm counting on you.

Mom.

If you keep pushing yourself,

your health will collapse.

How about this?

You go rest and be with Haochen.

I'll stay here.

Okay?

Alright.

I'll stay a bit longer.

Where's Haoming?

He was here moments ago.

Maybe he went to the nurses' station.

I'll go look for him.

I know.

I know you're hurting.

You know.

Back in England,

with everything that happened,

if my parents hadn't shielded me,

I couldn't

have handled any of it.

But after all these years,

the consequences

and responsibilities

still fall on them.

I understand.

I fully understand

how much Jinda

and Haochen

mean to my father.

Both were nurtured personally

by him from the ground up.

That's why he suffered

such a massive shock.

I know.

Your father greatly influenced you.

You know.

Since childhood,

I've always seen him as a mountain.

No matter the crisis

or challenge,

he could resolve anything.

All these years,

despite constant power struggles

within the group,

he balanced competing interests

and maintained unity.

He did it every single time.

Nothing was beyond him.

But I saw him just now,

lying helplessly in that bed.

He was so weak.

The moment his heart stopped,

I was absolutely terrified.

I was afraid

that this mountain

would truly collapse.

He won't.

He won't.

Father is strong.

He'll make it, okay?

Not hungry again?

You're eating so little in a day.

Your body can't handle this.

I will worry about you.

I'm sorry.

Haochen.

I apologize.

I spoke out of turn.

But no matter what,

we brought you up bit by bit.

When you're happy,

we're happy.

When you're sad,

we're sad too.

Haochen, you must believe.

Every person in this family

loves you genuinely.

Haochen?

Don't you

like going out usually?

Today, whatever you want to do,

basketball,

skateboarding,

I'll be with you the whole time.

Today, if we get tired

after playing basketball,

we'll have pizza.

And also

your favorite ice cream,

okay?

One scoop, two scoops.

Whatever you want.

After the ice-cream,

we'll have pizza,

steak,

or fried chicken.

It's up to you.

Stop filming me!

Put that away!

Security!

Security!

Security, hurry!

Get out!

Out! Out! Out!

Detain him!

Get out now!

You okay?

It's fine. It's fine.

Sweetheart.

Quick. Take him away.

Take him away!

Stop filming! How dare you!

Stop filming!

Stop filming!

It's okay, honey.

Haochen!

Handle this now!

Don't worry.

Haochen!

Haochen!

Haochen, open the door.

Open up.

What happened?

You're finally back.

I tried

taking him out

to cheer him up today.

We got snapped right there, not sure if it was a reporter.

- Take it easy. - He pointed it

right at us,

filming shamelessly.

Then Haochen got upset,

ran inside,

and locked the door.

Haochen.

- Open the door! - He...

He was crying. Why is it silent now?

Haochen!

Haochen!

Haochen!

Mom, step back.

Haochen.

Haochen!

Haochen!

Haochen, what's wrong with you?

Haochen!

Call Dr. Wang. Hurry.

Dr. Wa...

Haochen.

Haochen.

Hello? Hello?

Wang,

Haochen fainted.

Come to my place now.

Hurry! Yes.

Haochen!

Dr. Wang.

What's Haochen's

current condition?

Nothing serious.

He fainted

due to low blood sugar from not eating enough.

You don't know him well.

He refuses to eat anything.

What should we do?

Due to emotional distress,

now Haochen

has had mild autism.

That's why he refuses to eat

and communicate.

Mild cases can be cured.

If it becomes severe,

he might show signs

of self-harm

or aggressive behaviors.

Parents should intervene early.

Are there any solutions?

Haochen is very resistant to his environment right now.

I think

he needs

a totally new

environment for now.

Understood. Thank you.

Okay.

I'll check on him again.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Haoming, Yan,

let's follow the doctor's advice

and take Haochen to a new environment.

Anywhere will do.

Mom,

Dad's in the hospital now.

Don't worry about Dad.

His condition has stabilized.

I'm here.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Haochen's situation is urgent.

So going abroad? Somewhere far away?

Good idea.

But not too far.

If anything happens to Dad,

we might not make it back in time.

So where's better?

How about my grandma's house?

Is that okay?

Is it convenient? Because...

Very convenient.

She lives in the countryside.

It's spacious there,

with many animals.

Kids love that.

Let's follow Yan's advice.

The hospital has nurses,

and Hui's at home.

Leave Dad's matters to me.

Haochen's situation really

can't be delayed any longer.

Understood.

I'll call

my grandma right away.

Mom, don't worry.

We leave tomorrow.

I told you

not to wait outside.

Yan!

I missed you so much!

Hello, Grandma.

How are you lately?

Good.

Already in great shape,

and even better seeing you all.

That's great.

This must be Haochen?

What a handsome little fellow.

Haochen, say hello to Great-grandma.

Haochen.

Never mind.

He just arrived. He's shy.

After getting familiar, he'll call me naturally.

Haochen.

Come on. Give the suitcase to me.

Follow me.

Come on.

Watch your step.

Don't look around.

You'll have plenty to see later.

When we get home,

I will cook delicious meals for you.

Come on.

Eat more, Haochen.

I made this

braised pork knuckle.

- And this beef stew. - Vinegar?

I spent three to four hours

simmering it.

It melts in your mouth.

How does the commercial say it?

It tastes wonderful!

You like the sliced noodles?

These are special.

It resembles silver fish diving into waves

and willow leaves riding the wind from branches.

If you visit Shanxi

and don't eat a bowl

of these noodles,

it's a wasted trip.

Haochen,

all these dishes

were prepared

by Great-grandma.

Come on. Eat up.

Haochen?

Don't.

Sorry, Grandma.

He's usually very polite.

It's fine.

He's just a child.

Don't force him

if he can't finish. He just arrived.

Besides, Yan

already told me before you came.

We adults

all understand

children's feelings,

right?

Leave some for him.

Leave some.

No need.

I'll cook fresh

whenever he's hungry.

You all eat now.

Have some fish.

Let's eat.

Eat up.

Okay.

Yan,

when I was hospitalized last time

and you rushed back to see me,

I realized

something was wrong between you and Haoming.

But seeing you two

get along so well now

reassures me.

So

let me ask you.

Was your previous conflict

about him

having a child?

Grandma,

I genuinely care for Haochen.

He's such

a smart, loyal and sensitive child.

Before, he'd chat with me

for hours.

But now,

he's completely silent.

It hurts to see him like this.

I brought him here

to give him

an adjustment period.

He's a kid.

He needs some time

to process sudden life changes.

I really don't know

what else I should do.

I just want to care for him

and help him become

his old self again.

Yan,

that's the right approach.

Beyond blood relations,

what matters more

and truly connects people

is mutual sincerity.

Grandma,

don't worry about us.

We're being completely transparent with each other now.

We'll solve problems and face them together.

With you as our shelter,

we'll overcome everything.

Mom,

how's Dad?

He's stable in all aspects.

He hasn't woken up yet.

But the doctor said

it is optimistic.

No need to worry.

That's good.

Take turns with the caregivers.

Don't keep staying up late.

Okay.

Don't worry.

How's Haochen?

Same as before.

He still won't talk.

Hopefully after some time,

he'll improve.

Alright.

Take care over there.

Okay.

Haochen, breakfast is ready.

Haochen?

Good morning.

He's out.

Sleep well?

Any mosquitoes last night?

Come on.

Look.

Great-grandma made this for you.

Sesame oil egg.

Smell how fragrant it is.

Let's have it with a steamed bun.

You barely ate last night.

Eat a bit more now.

Haochen,

it's delicious.

Haochen?

Haochen.

Since you're done,

go do some work.

Haoming,

you should finish your meal too.

After eating,

get a big basket from the yard

and take the kid

to harvest corn on the back hill.

Okay.

Understood.

We country folks

have one rule.

Only those too old to work

or infants unable to work

can be exempt from labor.

Everyone else can't rest.

They must work the fields.

You're living in my house

and eating my food.

Labor is mandatory.

Grandma,

don't be like this.

Haochen is just a child.

He...

He can't possibly handle this work.

He's quite temperamental.

Brilliant.

I'll go too.

You haven't finished yet.

Get one for him too.

Get him one too.

Okay.

Let me show you.

Corn harvesting goes like this.

Press down.

Twist clockwise and it comes off.

Press down.

Twist clockwise. Off it comes.

Simple as that.

Press down.

Twist.

Comes off.

Press down and twist.

The whole corn comes off.

Try that one.

Press down and twist.

There's more over there.

Go up.

Up higher.

No, no, no.

Catch it. Catch it.

Catch!

Use hands!

Use your hands to catch.

Come out of the coop!

Catch!

Catch it! Catch it!

Got it! I got it!

Haochen, take it!

Quick!

Hurry! Hurry!

You're dragging your feet

on such a small task.

Do you plan

to finish it when it's dark?

Why are you staring?

Let me tell you.

All these corns

must be processed before sunset.

How about this?

You handle that pile.

These two are mine.

Okay.

Here, take it.

Haochen,

do you want another bowl?

Go to the kitchen

and serve yourself.

Farm work

really works.

Second serve already.

Remember to tell Mom

about the good news.

Definitely.

Won't this cause indigestion?

Let me help you.

Let me help.

Come on.

Meat lover should eat more.

Eat more meat.

This kid...

His belly...

Though we've now

removed Shen Jinsong

and Shen Haoming from their positions,

they remain the company's

major shareholders.

The board and department heads

are all waiting to see

when they'll make a comeback.

What's your take?

Due to their personal misconduct,

our stock prices plummeted,

causing massive financial losses.

Legally speaking,

the group has full authority

to demand compensation from them.

We can gather

eligible shareholders

to represent the group

in suing those two

and demand they repay the losses.

Meanwhile, file for litigation preservation

to freeze their accounts.

A legal battle?

It has lengthy cycles.

The longer, the better.

Once preservation is enacted

and their accounts frozen,

all their stocks

become worthless paper.

Without funds,

how could they come back?

Senior,

the patient in Bed 3 has surgery scheduled Friday.

Lin?

You're back.

Are you going out?

Yeah,

I need to return to the office.

Have you been avoiding me lately?

Why would I do that? I'm not.

Lin.

I know you're busy lately,

but you only text two-word replies.

Calls last less than a minute.

When I offer to pick you up, you decline.

What's really going on?

You're overthinking.

I've just

been too busy lately.

I'm too occupied.

Look,

I finally left work early today,

hoping to rest,

but they called and dragged me back.

It's genuinely chaotic.

I have much to do.

You go rest first.

I'll update you later.

Go back.

Really?

Really.

It's not too bad.

Just a minor sprain.

Apply cold compress when you go back.

Then use the medicinal oil

and massage the ankle.

It'll be fine in a few days.

Thank you, doctor.

The swelling looks significant.

It's my fault.

I didn't catch you.

No, no.

I just lost my balance.

Maybe you should

take some days off

and work from home.

No need.

It's not a serious injury.

With so many things in the company,

I still need to go.

Lin,

are you okay?

I looked for you

and heard from security.

How did you

end up falling?

It must hurt terribly.

Let me see.

I'm fine. Really.

What you doing?

You're injured.

Why are you carrying this yourself?

Dr. Yu,

thank you.

Leave the rest to me.

Are you out of your mind?

What's wrong with you?

This is my girlfriend.

Lin,

you didn't tell him?

Tell me what?

Qiao Lin is now my girlfriend.

Don't believe me?

Ask her yourself then.

Lin,

let me help you.

Thank you, doctor.

Lin,

let's go. I'll help you.

No need.

Lin,

tell me the truth.

Back off.

Yu Yiming,

this is your workplace.

You'll regret it if you start a fight.

Lin,

are you hiding something?

What kind of nonsense is that?

We're in a proper relationship.

We're deeply connected.

True lovers always find their way.

What do we need to hide?

Get out of my way.

I need to talk to Qiao Lin now.

Lin,

make it clear to him once and for all.

Make him give up completely.

Lin Tao and I

are back together.

That's impossible.

Yu Yiming,

the time I spent with you

was truly joyful.

But marriage and dating

are two different things.

I've thought long and hard.

There are significant gaps

between us.

These are practical realities.

As for Lin Tao,

his devotion

has truly moved me.

After much consideration,

I believe

he's more suitable for me.

I don't believe

anything you just said.

What really happened?

If he threatened you...

Yu Yiming,

if you touch my girl again,

I'll hit you. I swear.

Lin Tao, that's enough!

Yu Yiming,

believe it or not,

I've said everything that needed

to be said today.

Don't come to me anymore.

Lin,

now that everything's out in the open,

return what you owe him.

So he won't bother you again.

This ring was also given by you.

Take it back.

Now we're even.

Haochen,

what are you looking at?

You like animals too?

Great.

From now on, these chicks

will be your responsibility.

Actually, taking care of them

is pretty simple.

You just need

to feed them

regularly every day.

That's about it.

And also

clean their living area

thoroughly every day.

Keep it tidy.

Okay?

Simple enough, right?

Here.

Take this.

Three meals a day

are your job now.

If they get hungry,

I'll hold you accountable.

Get to work.

(Xu Yan)

Yan.

I saw the payment went through.

Yes.

The loan funds have arrived.

Also

the physical store is progressing.

Though it might

not move as quickly.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of both the company and home.

Okay.

Then I'll count on you.

Thank you.

You too.

Bye.

Bye.

Be careful

with this mirror too.

Lin.

Thank you.

Lin.

What is it?

Are you moving out?

Where to?

T-To my sister's place.

No matter how I ask,

you refuse to tell the truth.

Is that so?

There's no truth to tell.

Just...

I told you. I've just had a change of heart.

I don't care how many times you've said it

or what I've seen

or heard.

Even if you are with Lin Tao and push me away,

I'll never believe you've changed feelings.

If you'd seen

how you looked at me,

you'd understand why I'm certain of this.

Miss Qiao,

things are packed.

Let's go.

Okay.

We're adults.

Act more mature.

Can you do it?

Yan.

Yan.

We know

you're staying at Grandma's.

So we came to check.

Well, where is Haoming

and Haochen?

Haoming took Haochen to do farm work.

Farm work?

Can Haoming and Haochen

handle farm work?

They're guests from afar.

We can't make guests work, right?

I'll talk to Mom.

Grandma's made great arrangements.

They're eating well

and sleeping well.

So you don't need to worry.

Also, I brought Haochen here

to leave him

some peace and quiet.

If you want

to see him,

maybe you should come later

when he's in better condition.

Okay?

Okay.

S-Since that's the case,

then we won't

bother you anymore.

I...

Th-These are for your grandma.

These are her calcium tablets

and fish oil.

These are snacks

for Haochen.

Kids love these.

And this...

This is the money

you gave me for treatment.

I didn't use it.

The doctor said the tumor was benign.

After the minimally invasive surgery, I'm fine now.

We heard what happened to the Shen family.

Now that you've moved back here,

it's convenient for us to visit from the town.

If you need anything, be sure to call us.

We can't help much in Jingzhou,

but in our hometown,

we'll definitely find ways to assist,

right?

Take this money.

If it's not enough,

just call us.

We still have savings.

Thank you.

We're family. No need for thanks.

We're leaving now.

You rest first.

I'll get your clothes.

When water's hot, take a bath.

It's cold. Drink slowly.
