Episode 15

I am sorry, Sheng Xia.

I really did not mean it.

Qiu Yang...

You are really too much.

You said you wanted the bed, you wanted it

so I gave it to you.

Why are you still coming down?

I am sorry. I am sorry.

I was wrong. I was wrong. Do not cry.

Why?

Don't cry, don't cry, I was wrong, I was wrong.

Go back to sleep, go back to sleep.

All right, don’t cry, don’t cry.

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

Who is it?

So early...

Who is it?

Who is it?

I am looking for Qiu Yang.

Gu Xiaoman...

How did you find me here?

Am I not familiar with that place?

You should be knocking over there, right?

I talked to Tao Tao yesterday and she told me

that you are living now opposite your door.

Not bad, your business must be doing good.

You bought another flat.

No, I got married to the owner of this flat.

Let me introduce her.

Sheng Xia...

Let me introduce you.

This is my wife, Sheng Xia.

This is my ex-wife, Gu Xiaoman.

- Hello. - Hello, hello.

You talk first.

I will clean up a bit.

Please, come in.

All right.

I heard that you were

getting married to your

Arab husband in Dubai.

Why did you suddenly rush back?

He should be called

my ex-boyfriend.

I understand.

I told Tao Tao yesterday

that I am going to pick her up today.

She did not tell you?

She didn’t.

Where is she?

Is she sleeping in this flat?

I will go and wake her.

Wait a moment.

I want to talk to you first.

All right, let’s do it.

I heard from Tao Tao

that you told her that her dad is an explorer.

that travels around the world all year round.

That he sends her a gift

for her birthday every year.

I have never seen him though.

Why is that?

It is me who is giving her those gifts.

You are well aware

that Tao Tao has no dad.

It is really cruel to say this to

a child under ten years old

so I made up this story.

Your story has loopholes

Tao Tao has started to doubt it.

That is why she is looking

everywhere for her dad.

I know.

There is always a day when lies are exposed.

I do not want to keep her in the dark.

I want to wait for her to grow up and talk to her again.

Tao Tao...

Tao Tao, mom came to pick you up!

Liar.

Tao Tao?

Tao Tao!

Tao Tao!

Tao Tao, don’t run!

Tao Tao, wait for me!

Tao Tao, don’t run!

I do not want you to care!

Tao Tao!

Tao Tao, don’t run!

Tao Tao!

Tao Tao!

Who is Tao Tao’s guardian?

Me… me… It’s me.

Did the child wake up?

She is still sleeping.

But do not worry,

she is not in a coma.

She just had a slight concussion.

We need to do some basic checks.

Please sign the consent as her guardian.

I will do it.

With the current situation,

the child will have to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Wait a minute. Go to the window over there

and wait for the tests results.

All right.

She has to stay in the hospital

for the observation?

I am going back to US tomorrow.

A hospitalization and an observation are a must in such cases.

As for the specifics, decide it among yourself.

Tao Tao cannot go back to US tomorrow.

Gu Tao Tao’s guardian?

Everything’s normal.

There is nothing wrong, do not worry.

Can you come out?

Tao Tao is not my daughter, right?

Why are you asking this?

I saw her tests report.

Her blood type is type B.

So what?

M blood type is also B.

it is ridiculous

You would not think

Tao Tao is your daughter just because

she spent few days in your home?

But the paternal test you have shown me that time

said she has no blood type B.

I remember it.

Tao Tao is lying in the hospital now.

I do not want to talk about it now.

Answer me.

Do not avoid it.

That time

I wanted you to come with me to the hospital to do the paternity test.

it was you who did not want to go.

Why are you telling me

those things right now.

I was emotional at the time, you know.

It was completely awkward.

I was very irrational.

I took a sample of your hair when I went to the hospital.

Do you remember this?

I do.

But I have never

verified the authenticity

of the result back then.

You want to say

that I forged them?

It’s possible.

Fine.

Let me ask you then

why would I want to do that?

You tell me.

I just want to get one answer.

Is Tao Tao my daughter or not.

Fine, nevermind.

It does not matter how you reply.

Tao Tao is in the hospital now.

I can do paternity test right away.

Wait.

I will give you the answer now.

Tao Tao is your daughter.

I lied to you.

Why?

Tao Tao woke up.

Mom…. hurts!

It hurts! Mom! Mom! Mom!

- It hurts… - All right, all right.

MY neck hurts too.

Your neck hurts...

Are you still dizzy?

A little bit...

Mom,

why did you lie to me?

Tao Tao,

do you really want to have a dad?

I do.

A dad like uncle Qiu Yang?

Uncle Qiu Yang...

although I like you very much,

do not be too arrogant.

I will give you six points.

Passing points.

If I really had a dad like you...

Qiu Yang...

come out for a bit.

I want to talk to you.

No.

It’s all right. You can go.

I will be here, watching over Tao Tao.

Qiu Yang

Go with her and talk, all right?

I admit.

I have deceived you

in this matter

Do you think

this is some trivial matter?

If I did not say this

would you let me take Tao Tao away?

And so

you made the child grow so big

without knowing who her real dad is?

You let me learn

that I am Tao Tao’s father when I am already forty.

Don't you think that you are selfish?

When I divorced you that time

I wanted to raise Tao Tao

in the most versatile way.

I am Tao Tao’s biological mother.

Even if she does not have fatherly love,

I can always double it up for her.

Did you really do that?

What you really gave her was a lie.

Don't you think it is ridiculous?

You had to go that far?

Gu Xiaoman,

do you really hate me that much?

Hate?

When I divorced you that year

I wished I would never see you in my life again.

Why?

Did I do something wrong?

Gu Xiaoman,

I do not want to talk about the things from that time.

I find it too bothersome.

I also do not want to do that.

And so

you should not bother about Tao Tao’s life.

As soon as Tao Tao gets better, we will leave.

I really do not understand

how can you still act so confident right now.

Have you ever loved me?

I think it is pointless to talk about it now.

Pointless.

Do you still have feelings for me?

If you still have some affection for me,

then I beg you

do not destroy my current life.

For so many years we were doing really fine

at our ends.

No contacts, no thoughts.

I want to continue my like just the same way now.

- Do you understand? - I cannot go on like this.

Xiaoman,

you stroke me with a big thunderbolt today.

I am still dizzy because of that.

I am telling you,

Tao Tao’s matter

must be resolved.

Qiu Yang, don’t force me.

Gu Xiaoman, don’t force me.

Tao Tao is asleep.

Her mom is with her.

I just came to check on you.

Do not say anything.

I do not want to talk.

I just want to be silent for a while.

I have nothing to say.

I will stay silent with you.

You not only need to stay silent,

you also need to stay calm.

If you think that with me here

you cannot calm down...

I can leave.

Tao Tao is my daughter?!

That’s unacceptable!

Are there still such women

as Gu Xiaoman in this world?

She looked us straight in the eyes

and came up with such a lie!

If I knew Tao Tao is your daughter,

I would have never let her go.

Qiu Yue...

you cannot say such things.

When Xiaoman divorced Qiu Yang that time,

she was afraid she would not be able to keep the child.

It was possible that is why she lied, right?

How could she think that?

How could she do that?

Qiu Yang,

I didn't expect you to have a child.

Exactly.

And when the child appears

it is already eight years old.

We have to keep her back.

We definitely have to keep her back.

Sister,

this matter is not that simple.

What do you mean it is not simple?

Talk to Gu Xiaoman.

If you cannot reason it out, let’s go straight to the court.

In short,

you can't let her

take Tao Tao away this time.

Qiu Yue, can you not get so excited?

How can I not be excited?

What kind of mother is she?

Throwing your child away like that

and leaving abroad yourself.

I did not know it then,

but I know it now.

No, I cannot let it happen.

Qiu Yue... Qiu Yue...

This matter

needs a long-term discussion.

Long-term discussion?

Sheng Xia,

what is your take on the situation?

I...

I have nothing to say.

You have to make a statement.

You are the key factor in this matter.

Think about it.

You two just got married

when an ex-wife came back

with a child in tow

that is eight years old.

Sheng Xia, think about it.

If Tao Tao were to come,

you will become a stepmother

Stepmother really has bad connotations.

being a stepmother is not difficult,

but you will have to adapt to it.

I...

What do you think?

I will listen to you all, sister.

Really.

I have no opinion.

No opinion at all.

Sheng Xia,

you are really completely different

than Gu Xiaoman.

You are so

You are enlightened and magnanimous.

The key issue is

you are more beautiful than her.

Since you said it yourself, I am really relieved.

I will talk to her tomorrow.

Sister,

do not get involved in this.

I will talk to Gu Xiaoman tomorrow.

This matter has little to do with you.

Don't seek her out.

Sister, if there is nothing else, I am leaving.

Sit down.

I want to talk to you.

Uhm...

Being a stepmother

is not very easy

but it is also not very difficult.

Look, you recently took care of Tao Tao.

Did it not go very well?

I really have confidence in you.

You have a good heart.

You are a good person.

Enlightened and generous.

Mom… I cannot sleep.

Come, get up.

What is it?

Do you think I am a grown up now?

How to say it….

not completely.

But I think I have already grown up.

In fact, I already knew the outcome

between you and your boyfriend from Dubai.

How did you know it?

You definitely cannot stand him.

Yes.

I should listen to our Tao Tao more.

See, am I not an adult now?

So can you tell me

where is my dad?

IN fact,

mom and dad broke up.

I was not very happy after we broke up

so I was waiting for Tao Tao to grow up a bit more.

When you grow up a bit more

I will take you to him,

all right?

Why cannot it be now?

I am eight years old.

Then Tao Tao needs to wait for mom

to stop hating dad anymore,

so she can happily let Tao Tao come back from the States

and see him.

Do we have to go back to the States?

Yes.

What’s wrong?

I will have to leave uncle Qiu Yang then...

Yes.

You scared me to death.

What are you doing in the living room

with the light switched off in the middle of the night?

I wanted to watch TV for a while.

TV?

I forgot to switch it on.

Are you all right?

I am fine.

Is it because you do not know how to

solve Tao Tao’s matter?

Do you need to...

Let’s go to sleep.

I came to see you today

to talk about Tao Tao’s matter.

I have discussed it with Qiu Yang already.

I admit.

I did lie to him concerning this matter.

but I was forced to do it out of helplessness.

If there were no serious problems

between me and Qiu Yang back there,

I would have never made such a decision.

Yes.

And so you made the child not able to recognise own father.

And then you made the father

inexplicably lose his father's qualifications.

I will say one thing.

I will not give in in Tao Tao’s matter.

Can I really not be responsible

for my own child?

You want to say

that nobody else is responsible?

Gu Xiaoman, if you were

a very competent mother today,

then that would be fine.

But you have to ask yourself

whether you are.

Are you a completent mother?

Do you want to have the final word in it?

Never mind, I am going to see Tao Tao.

Gu Xiaoman

Our family will not give Tao Tao up.

Is that me on your painting?

Of course.

I am drawing you.

I just did not draw your hospital pajama.

Why do I think

I resemble you?

It just shows that we look alike.

How can we look alike?

You said it yourself

that you are not my dad.

Why did you come?

I came to see Tao Tao.

Mom,

I want uncle Qiu Yang to play with me for a while.

You are not allowed to chase him away.

I was not going to.

I can see you do not like him.

Do not worry.

I will be leaving soon.

Tao Tao,

grab my neck and let’s go check the mirror.

Let’s see if we are really alike.

Are we alike?

A bit.

But I think

your eyes seem to look a bit like mine.

No.

It’s your eyes that look a bit like mine.

Does it make a difference?

But when we look in the mirror

you are taller than me.

That’s true.

What are you doing, Pang Da Hai?

You should eat this.

It is not your business

Why do you care?

Su Yun,

this is junk food.

Additionally, you are pregnant now.

You cannot eat those.

Are we in a relationship?

Do you not feel funny?

But it already

happened this way.

I have decided.

I want to get get rid of it.

You cannot.

Why not?

It is in my stomach.

But he is already a living being

and thich child is related to me.

Pang Da Hai,

why are you so sure

that this child is related to you?

What do you mean?

The child is definitely mine.

We were together that night.

That was that night.

What about the night before?

How can you be so sure

that I have not been with anyone else.

You wouldn’t have.

Why wouldn’t I?

I do not have anyone I love,

so why would it be strange

to spend the night with somebody else?

I know

that you are only talking this way...

I am not only talking.

I want to get rid of this child.

There is absolutely no need to gamble with it.

I don't want to be restrained by this child.

Su Yun,

I am a doctor.

A gynecologist at a reproductive center.

The thing I cannot bear the most to see

a life going to waste.

Do you know

how hard is it for a child to come to this world?

Do you know how many people out there

just want to have a child?

Do you know how much they pay to try

and how pained they are when they fail?

I know.

But do you know what does it mean

to give birth to a child?

Can you make sure he’ll have a place to live?

Can you guarantee that he is happy?

That he is healthy and safe?

Even if you say

that you raise him

how can you guarantee

that he is not burdened

by the psychological impact

of missing the maternal love?

With our current relationship

and our respective capabilities

we have no way

to warrant any of these.

I decided to get rid of him

because it is the only thing I can do for him now.

Anyway...

Enough talking.

I have already contacted the hospital.

You are Su Yun?

Doctor...

Is it possible

to do a painless abortion?

Yes.

What kind of abortion do you want?

You are not pregnant at all.

Impossible.

My pregnancy test stick clearly had two bars.

Did you do the test in the hospital?

Was the chorionic gonadotropin tested?

What is a CG test?

It is a blood test.

Chorionic gonadotropin can fake

the pregnancy result.

You are a doctor.

I….

You cannot even check if your girlfriend is pregnant or not.

No, doctor, he is not my boyfriend.

But there were clearly two lines...

You are not lying to me, right?

Even if there are two bars it does not mean you are pregnant.

It could be a biochemical pregnancy

but the fertilized eggs were not implanted.

Are you sure?

This is your test report.

You can take a look.

She is really not pregnant.

Su Yun, don’t eat it.

Eating too much ice cream

is bad for girl’s body.

I suddenly have this strange feeling.

I almost want to be a mother.

I have almost

killed my own child.

I thought I would be

more indifferent to this.

I just had a little experience...

a little experience

of how a motherly feeling.

And then I was inexplicably teased.

I know.

I feel like

there is a hole in your heart.

I can now understand Sheng Xia’s mood.

I realize why she wants

to become a mom.

In fact, I think Sheng Xia is really pitiful.

You are not angry with her?

I did not say that.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Pang Da Hai,

you are really a good man.

It goes without saying.

All right then.

I am leaving. Bye bye.

Su Yun...

I want to ask you

before me...

did you really do it

with… with others?

Why should I report this to you?

Have we both reached this level?

No, I just wanted to ask you this.

I can tell you this.

Starting today,

unless there are no special circumstances,

we better not see or meet each other.

Do you understand?

But it was really just an accident.

Then do not let such accident happen again.

Bye bye.

It will not happen again.

Xiaoman, I want to talk to you.

I am in a hurry now.

Since we run into each other, it is a fate.

let’s find a good place to sit down

and talk together.

If I didn’t guess wrong,

you want to sneak away with Tao Tao.

This is my private matter.

Yes,

but I think you should tell Qiu Yang

After all, he is Tao Tao’s biological father.

And these days

his whole soul is in a state of despair.

I think he's thinking

how to accept this new reality.

He wants to let Tao Tao into his heart.

You are different from other women.

How come?

I am Qiu Yang’s ex-wife.

I came back with a daughter in tow.

Are you not afraid?

Why should I be afraid?

That I will threaten your relationship.

No.

It seems that you have been married for a short time.

What if I tell you now

that I still love Qiu Yang?

What if I tell you

that I cannot control my feelings

and this can affect your relationship?

I will bow out.

You do not love Qiu Yang.

I...

I am only his current wife.

You did not answer my question.

Why should I answer your question?

You could say

this question is not important at all.

Got it.

You love him.

In fact, I like you very much.

I also admire you.

If it was me,

I wouldn’t spend so much effort

to make my husband's ex-wife and his daughter’ stay.

To tell you the truth,

after I divorced Qiu Yang,

I have had twelve boyfriends.

They were all my true loves.

Three times, I almost got married and got married

but then I broke it off.

I loved them.

Every time I wanted to think

that it was a real start of passionate love.

But every time I came to an end,

it ended really easily.

You have never seen such a woman, right?

The only person

I cannot get over

is Qiu Yang.

Yes, we are divorced.

We are living our own lives now.

But I can’t get over him.

I have to bypass him again

so I am taking Tao Tao with me.

I don't want to go back to the time right after the divorce.

Those were really dark days, you understand?

You have to face it.

Because of Tao Tao.

I can’t do it, really.

There must be something you cannot do, right?

There is.

And that’s why

I want to take Tao Tao.

Actually, I came today

so that we can sit down and talk together.

I just think

that at this time

someone should remind you what the best choice would be.

Thank you.

I need to go.

All right.

I respect your choice.

Actually, I don’t have any power to interfere with you.

But I think

I will inform Qiu Yang about it.

Good.

Thank you.

Where is she?

Where is the patient from the bed number nine?

She was discharged from the hospital early.

Discharged?

Yes.

Qiu Yang, I left with Tao Tao.

Wait till Tao Tao grows up.

I will respect her choice then.

I admit that I am somewhat selfish in doing this.

But compared to the damage you did to me in the past,

this makes us even.

Why are you going?

Gu Xiaoman took the child and left.

I am going to find her.

You...

Do you know where she went?

I do not know.

I do not know but I have to find them.

Railway station… airport...

I will go to the airport first.

You won’t find them.

What do you mean.

Beijing is really big.

She wants to hide from you.

You… where are you going?

I will go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case.

Wait a moment.

She is Tao Tao’s mother.

She is not a trafficker.

I have to do something.

I saw her this morning.

Where?

She took Tao Tao and left.

I catched up with her.

Did you ask her where is she going?

I...

I did.

She did not say.

And you let her go?

What else should I do?

Could you not give me a call at least?

Was it too much for you to do just that?

Of course, Tao Tao means nothing to you,

I mean nothing to you,

you have no obligations towards us whatsoever.

But you definitely know

what Tao Tao means to me.

Even if we are strangers who we don’t know each other,

you should show me a little compassion at least.

Do you know how long will Gu Xiaoman

make me wait to see her?

Can you calm down a bit?

This is my unit.

I really didn't expect

you to be so indifferent, Sheng Xia.

Am I indifferent?

Gu Xiaoman is a person.

She has hands, feet and a brain.

How am I to stop her is she wants to go somewhere?

You are right.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

This is something between you two.

You two have to solve it yourself.

Tao Tao means nothing to you,

I mean nothing to you.

You have no obligations towards us whatsoever.

But you definitely know

what Tao Tao means to me.

Even if we are strangers who we don’t know each other,

you should show me a little compassion at least.

Do you know how long will Gu Xiaoman

make me wait to see her?

I really didn't think you were so indifferent.
