Hui-yun.

This bottle

comes from France.

It's very expensive.

I'm sorry, it's a little hard to pour.

Apologies, I'm a little clumsy.

No worries.

I'm sorry.

I can smell the energy of life.

-It smells great. -You know your wine.

Hui-yun.

You've drunk about

forty cases of wine from me.

Shouldn't you...

It's vanilla.

Leather and berries.

You have such great taste.

Here's the thing.

I think we should help each other out.

Something like

telling me more about Nicole.

There's this little secret.

I'm not sure if I should tell you.

Of course. We're good friends, right?

Hui-yun...

Don't waste it.

There's a guy.

-Yes? -He's successful.

He's mature.

Isn't that me?

He's middle-aged.

Who?

This wine is great. I'll have two more cases.

Hui-yun.

The wine is not a problem.

You can have all you want.

Just tell me and I'll deliver.

But...

Who's the guy?

He took her out in his car.

Hui-yun.

Enjoy your wine.

I need to head out first.

This is only a showroom.

I paid for five.

Just say yes

and then it's yours.

The main reason why I'm here today

is that I wanted to let you know...

The money plus interest that I owe you,

I will pay you back within three years.

I always wanted to know.

Why did you cut your hair?

I like you better with long hair.

I like the way I am now.

Besides,

I don't want money.

I want us to be together again.

That's impossible.

Rumor has it

that you've been rather close to someone named Xu.

Right?

Xu?

Do you mean Xu Da-en?

Is that his name?

I know him.

I'm warning you. Leave him alone.

Did Yong-hwa send you to leave me a message

or to learn how to make wontons?

He has nothing to say to you.

However,

I would like a conversation with you.

I'll give it five minutes.

One minute is enough.

You have 40 seconds left.

I suspect that Chou Yong-ze is hiding

because he has either mental or physical problems.

Take me to him immediately.

I love the sound of cicadas.

He wouldn't want to see you.

That's the question.

Where did you hide him?

Are you playing hide and seek?

No, I think you're playing hide and seek.

It's Yong-ze's decision.

Six...

Five seconds left.

Fine.

Okay.

I think the media is dying to know

what's going on with Chou Yong-ze.

Seal it well.

Emboss it.

Then twist.

Wontons that are made this way

become plump and pretty.

They look full.

The customers

would have a better appetite looking at them.

Got it?

Now show me.

Mix the filling well.

Put in the seasonings.

Yong-ze.

Someone wants to see you.

Hello, Mr. Chou.

I'm Liu Lang from Chu Hsing Law firm.

I'm a lawyer.

I have something to ask you.

Liu Lang

Mr. Chou?

Don't pretend you don't know me.

Yong-hwa.

Stop pretending.

Do you want to scam money from me again?

How much did you gamble away this time?

Yong-hwa?

Yong-ze!

Why did you leave the company to You-wei?

And you made random donations.

What am I going to do?

It's because you love gambling!

I had to, you know?

What else was I supposed to do?

I love gambling?

And you also love women.

I love women?

Did we get the loan?

Yes. Now we just need to sign some papers.

The money will come in.

So we can open a branch now?

Congratulations in advance.

You-wei!

You...

You did a great job.

Congratulations.

I was right to send you back to school.

Yong-hwa!

We're opening up a branch.

We will have a branch!

You-wei.

Thank you.

So should I just wait for further notice?

Yong-hwa.

You can handle the accounts today.

-Okay. -I'll go home now.

-Yong-ze! -I'll do it.

I'll work on the accounts today.

You both should go home and rest.

It's fine either way.

-Lock the back door when you leave. -Okay.

Clean up and go home.

Bye.

Do you know how to lock the back door?

I know.

Go home and rest.

Leave the cleaning to me.

I'll leave it to you then.

You love gambling, women,

and getting into car accidents.

I can live with all that.

But you sold the company shares at a low price!

You'll bring down the company!

I've already paid up your debt

of almost 60 million in total.

Why should I?

I sell wontons. I don't own banks!

And you!

You've been doing this with me since you were teenager.

We've worked so hard together.

I brought both of you up.

You're like blood brothers!

And you just let your brother become the way he is today?

You're also responsible

for the person he has become!

You...

You have no right

to be a board member anymore.

Get out.

Leave!

I'm a part of this company.

You can't tell me to leave.

You fool.

You sold all your shares!

You're nobody here.

Let's start.

What happened? Don't worry.

Mr. Chou is not feeling well today.

By the way,

from today forward,

all the meetings

will be hosted by me.

Hurry up.

Let's review the revenue.

We'll talk about franchises and royalties later.

Are you having a board meeting now?

If that's the case,

why are you sitting here instead of my brother?

Yong-ze is not feeling well today.

Again?

Then why don't you tell me

when he will feel better?

And why wasn't I informed of this?

No one told me!

You're no longer a board member.

Don't you remember?

I'm not a board member?

Who said that?

-Your brother did. -My brother?

My brother said...

Can you get my brother to come then?

I want to see my brother.

Carry on.

I want to see my brother!

We were talking about franchises and royalties...

Go on.

Stop the meeting!

Not without my brother's presence!

You...

You bartered away the shares. Debts piled up on your neck.

You had to leave.

You can't blame anyone but yourself.

If I had kept an eye on you,

you wouldn't have become like this.

Lawyer?

Is it yours?

It's mine.

He hired me.

Hello.

Who is he?

Why is he on his knees?

Him? His knees itch.

Yes.

So he has dementia

and mistook you for Chou Yong-hwa?

This is why he can't be found.

If the public knows,

Chou Yong-hwa could legally declare

guardianship and assistance

and annulled all his previous decisions.

I also found out that Chou Yong-hwa

is in some serious debt

has disputes with loan sharks.

Because of gambling,

he has been arrested three times.

He acted so differently in front of us.

So I'm guessing

the reason he wants the 100 million back

wasn't because of Chou Yong-ze at all.

He just wants the money.

Whatever the case is,

he's still the first in line

to inherit Chou Yong-ze's property.

No wonder Chou Yong-ze is donating his money.

Rather than allowing his brother

to gamble everything away,

he's better off helping out kids in need.

What do we do now?

Are we still representing Yong-hwa?

Even if we didn't,

he'd find other lawyers to do it.

Even if Chou Yong-ze is diagnosed

with needing guardianship,

that will only concern his future asset management.

It doesn't necessarily prove

that the shares he has gifted or transferred before

are considered invalid.

What if they conduct an assessment?

What if we proved Chou Yong-ze's mind

was healthy at the time of donation?

Even for criminal cases,

mental assessments are judged at "the time of action,"

then it should be the same for civil cases.

Hui Ze is a nonpublic entity.

They weren't in deficit nor making a profit

at the time of the donation.

But the board decided

to donate 100 million to the charity.

The disposition was a part of the prime asset.

Corporation law, Article 158 indicates

these things should be decided by the shareholders

and not just the board.

I've done some research on their board.

After Chou Yong-hwa left the board,

Lim You-wei even changed the bylaws

and changed the company into a non-profit company

to accommodate the donation plans for the charity.

The procedure is seriously flawed.

And Corporation law Article 1, Section 2 states

"Companies need to have social responsibilities."

That doesn't mean

companies can change their bylaws and become charity-orientated.

Corporation law Article 171,

"Shareholder meetings are invalid to rule

the change of bylaws."

If Chou Yong-hwa learns about all that,

including his brother's dementia,

he has a great chance to win.

Wait.

I don't quite understand.

Hui Ze donated 100 million to the charity.

Doesn't that count as fulfilling social responsibility?

The legality of the donation

must be legitimate.

This means

we have to take into consideration the legitimacy

between the company's financial performance and interests.

The 100 million donations

might not be considered legitimate.

According to corporate law

Articles 193 and 23,

Chou Yong-ze and Lim You-wei,

who participated in making board decisions,

would have to pay compensation.

Although Chou Yong-hwa is no longer a board member,

he's still a shareholder.

He can file for compensation for damaged rights.

Gosh, this is all too complicated.

Can't we come up with something else?

What are you doing?

I have a great idea.

So what's the deal now?

Mr. Chou.

Due to personal reasons,

I will no longer be representing you.

Are you quitting?

I don't understand.

Didn't you promise to help me win?

Please excuse me.

Wait, is ten million not enough?

It's not about money.

Then tell me what the problem is.

You can't quit.

Well, here's the thing.

I don't want to make money from a parasite.

You're a useless prick!

What do you mean?

You're a useless prick.

Say it again. Who's the prick?

-You are. -Who?

Did you get that?

I did.

What...

According to Criminal law Article 23, this is self-defense.

You problematic gambler!

Let go of me!

Chu Hsing

See you.

You've been bribed by Lim You-wei, haven't you?

Lim You-Wei bought all of you off!

I'll come back for you!

Don't push me!

You hired better actors this time.

-Those guys charge more. -Really?

Hui-yun...

Nicole. What's the discounted price for tissues?

The discount?

It's 10 to 80%.

It's okay. I'll put it on your tab.

How much?

It's 3,800 each, so 7,600 in total.

And the police car is more expensive.

They charge 18,000 per day.

It's 18,000?

Are there installments or discounts available?

It's illegal to play cops.

I'm confident

Chou Yong-hwa wouldn't sue after seeing his brother.

Now you're letting me go?

Which precinct do you work for?

Which precinct?

You brought me to a noodle stall?

What on earth?

What on earth is going on?

Wonton

Yong-ze.

What are you doing here?

Would you like some noodles?

Feel free to sit wherever.

Can I offer you a bowl of our famous wonton noodles?

It's delicious.

-Have a seat. -But I...

I'll cook for you right away.

-What's my brother doing here? -You-wei!

Stop daydreaming. There's a customer!

-Take his orders! -I'm coming.

It's done!

You-wei.

Come and have a drink with me.

-Sure. -Bring your glass.

I'm coming.

It's hurting again.

Never mind. Cheers.

Did you manage to buy back

Yong-hwa's shares?

I did.

That's good to know.

That little jerk...

I always have to clean up his mess.

You should stop trying to speak for him.

He's my baby brother and I know him well.

He's not a bad person.

I am to blame really.

I didn't teach him well.

Did you buy back all his shares?

Yes.

And did you pay up his debts?

Yes, all of it.

Go and tell him.

I plan

to help him for the last time.

I'd like to split my shares

between both of you equally.

That will be

26% each.

If he's willing to change,

you both own 52% of the company.

It's enough to run Yong Ze Corporation properly.

Right?

Indeed.

But if he wants to steal from me,

then he gets absolutely nothing!

I will donate his shares.

I could only help him so much in life.

Tell him to think carefully

about which path to choose.

Did you buy back the shares?

I did.

I also paid up the debts.

I need to attend to the customers.

Do you want side dishes?

I don't want to trouble you.

You're the one in trouble.

Do you want a side dish?

I don't want to trouble you.

Not at all. You're the one in trouble.

Wonton

Yong Ze Wonton

Sir.

Sir.

Your wontons taste great.

Come again soon.

If we had that ten million,

we'd be cooking king crabs and lobsters.

Who wants to eat Yong Ze wontons?

It's the vibes that matter, okay?

Most importantly,

it's about who you eat it with.

That's true.

Where's my sweetheart Da-en?

He always brings a lot of stuff over.

Yes, why isn't he here?

Yes, why?

Why are you asking me?

Maybe he's busy.

Besides being busy for you, he has nothing better to do.

Hui-yun.

I want some broccoli.

Did you guys see Chou Yong-hwa on the news?

What?

It seems like he's better now.

Of course.

If I inherited billions, I'd be better too.

No, I mean,

it seems like his relationship with Lim You-wei has improved.

They're like real brothers.

With that much inheritance, I could be his son.

Would you need a sister?

I could do with a mother.

It's not cooked yet.

You deserve that.

Next time you want to eat hotpot,

can you please check the weather first?

You were enjoying it though.

Stop stealing my stuff.

I found it in the toilet.

You've dropped it twice. What is it anyway?

It's important to me.

It saved my life.

Why? Do you want to hear the story?

Remember when my mom told you I was born prematurely?

Emergency!

Don't worry. We've already called the doctor.

Just take a deep breath and don't be afraid.

Take a deep breath.

Actually, I'm not that interested.

Xu Da-en is in trouble!

We're back here.

Xu Da-en is in trouble!

That, I want to know.

What happened to him?

Just come.

I'll go first.

Wait for me!

I don't think that's him.

Wait.

Look.

Look at the match.

Liu Lang.

You're here.

Da-en. Is it really you?

It's me.

What have you done

to end up like this?

If I told you I stole some diamonds,

would you believe me?

Stop the nonsense. Speak up.

Let me guess.

Was it Zhang Yong?

You...

How did you know?

Wait.

Is Zhang Yong a tiger or something?

How did you end up like this?

He's a tiger, all right.

I'm going to kill him.

-I can't believe he did that to my friend. -Wait!

Wait.

Actually, I went to him first.

Mr. Chang.

Stop harassing Nicole. Do you hear me?

My name is Xu Da-en.

Remember my face.

Wait...

Wait for a second!

Mr. Chang!

Wait...

Sir...

-Xu Da-en. -Yes?

I didn't go to you. You came to me yourself.

I was just walking by.

So I thought I'd say hi.

-Do you want me to remember you? -No.

I just wanted to greet you.

Sir!

You don't need to remember me.

Wait.

Do you want me to remember your face?

-Please don't... -Show me your face.

No, I'm sorry.

Do you want me to remember your face?

I'm sorry!

Do you want me to remember your face?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry!

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

He beat me 21 times.

Twenty-one times.

And not once did I hit back.

I just stayed there

until he was tired.

Then I let him go.

And you called for an ambulance yourself?

Actually, I drove myself here.

-I'm cool, right? -You're full of bull.

Why didn't you tell me and just go to see him?

Because...

I was worried

that you'd know

that I knew

about your relationship.

He's just an ex-boyfriend.

Shut up.

I'll go and get coffee.

So you've known about it this whole time?

When I was in the US,

Zhang Yong was my sugar daddy.

Precisely because...

I know about your past

is why I made up my mind

that I want to be with you.

Because...

Because...

I want to look after you

for the rest of your life.

What's wrong?

I...

I think I'm...

I know.

Many people think of me

as a stupid trust fund baby.

People think whatever I do,

my parents have me covered.

But...

I don't care what people think.

What would you like?

What would you like to drink?

I want sugar-free green tea.

Make it two.

It hurts!

I...

Where was I?

Your parents.

Yes, that.

I don't care what people think...

They ran out of sugar-free green tea.

-I'll get whatever then. -Just go!

I only care about...

what you see when you see me.

But right now,

I can't see you clearly.

But I really...

What I'm trying to say

is that I truly appreciate you.

Thank you.

What?

It's so warm.

You're so warm.

Okay!

Stop...

Wait!

Just sit there and don't move.

I won't move.

What?

I feel like I'm rising.

I think I'll bump into you soon.

Just follow your heart.

Wait!

-Wait, I should get up. -Wait...

I'm sorry!

How would you like your bed?

Let me help you. Is it stuck?

It's...

It's stuck...

I think it's stuck.

It is stuck...
