[English subtitles are available.]

Come here. Xiaodong.

Let go of me.

Stay right here.

Let go of me.

No matter what you say,

you're going to the orphanage today.

Let go of me.

It's none of your business, old man.

Well, I'm making it my business,

for the rest of your life. Believe me.

Come with me.

Open your mouth.

We have to fix your cavities.

Let's fix two teeth today.

Xiaodong, don't be afraid.

I don't like you watching this.

Thank you.

Director, I'm really sorry.

Should be right here.

Bad girl!

Xiaodong.

[Lover or Stranger Ep14]

Hi, Huo.

What is our plan?

Is she coming tomorrow?

I heard she won't come.

Which PR article shall we use?

I don't know.

I told you she's not coming.

Huo.

Let's use the latest version for the PR article.

Any other questions?

No.

Thanks.

Hi, Huo.

Our plan is changing all the time.

It's all publicity tricks.

We've made a huge investment.

Luo Qianyi is everything for tomorrow.

Don't worry. She'll definitely come.

He disregarded

the image of our company for her.

He's been focusing on this for the past two days.

It's outrageous.

Ask Leanne to come to my office.

Do you remember what I told you before?

Out of so many things you said?

I'm retiring.

Come on in.

You wanted to see me.

I'll let you two finish.

It's ok. I'll keep it short.

You've been working here for years.

True. Almost 10 years.

Our dads used to work together,

if you count their time in.

10 years.

Then you'll get a decent severance package.

Don't come to work tomorrow.

You're fired.

Please let me know if there're

any HR-related issues.

We'll offer you a generous package.

You may go now.

What do you mean?

You can't just fire me for no reason.

I am...

I ignored all the kickbacks and bribes you took because

I didn't care, not because

I couldn't do anything.

Are we clear?

Anything else?

Have you consulted my dad and Director Zhou?

I'll talk to them.

You've got some guts.

What happened?

Why did you suddenly fire him?

Always wanted to do so.

You sure about this?

He's supported by two board directors.

He behaves himself in my presence,

but he won't listen to you.

I don't understand.

Come with me.

Except for the big media companies,

invite JiangYang Evening Post,

Xin Dong Weekly,

and some local media.

Why suddenly decide to hold a press conference?

The Color Gala is tomorrow night.

This afternoon is our only chance.

They've made their announcement,

I have to respond.

Will set up immediately.

Sun Lei.

I don't remember exactly

when you started working for me?

We've known each other for so long.

But I decided to follow you

roughly during

my sophomore year.

My family went through a lot back then.

If you hadn't persuaded your dad to save my family,

I would still be paying off my debt and interests now.

Come on. It's us.

When I first got back to China,

I couldn't have established

my position among those old men

without your help.

Why do you suddenly bring all this up?

You know,

you actually outperform me in many ways.

Hi, Miss Luo.

Sun Lei doesn't come with you today?

Anything you're looking for?

Need any advice?

It's ok. I brought a friend.

We'll just browse.

Sure.

How about this one?

Not bad.

Let's try something else.

This one?

It's pretty.

But the shoulder line...

You need a dress

that allows your arms to

move freely during the performance.

It's a pretty evening gown,

but you won't be able to stretch your arms.

How about...

this one?

Good. I'll go try it on.

I'll take this one. Thanks.

Sure. I'll wrap it up for you.

I'll take this dress.

Youze...

How's he doing?

Pretty good.

What is it?

Open it.

It's...

Sleeve buttons, for suits.

Give this to Youze as a small gift.

It's a surprise.

But...

Who would like to make the payment?

Allow me.

No...

This is my first present for

your comeback as your agent.

He's warning us. Can't you tell?

Uncles.

Sorry, we're late.

No worries. Take a seat.

Youze. You fired Leanne without checking with anyone.

You really don't care about

the old guys like us.

And you gather us here to insult us.

Long time no see. Uncles.

Director Zhou. This isn't the right thing to say.

We all know the company belongs to the Huos.

We should be grateful that they've paid us

and kept us in the company.

Youze. I can't believe you still have

the energy to see us.

Look at your wife!

You can't even control a woman.

How can we trust you with the company?

Why don't you take some days off?

Have some rest.

Get your girl to behave.

Then come back to work.

Uncle Zhou always has a sense of humor.

Actually, I invited you all today

to discuss this.

As you're all aware,

my family has been through a lot recently.

This has a negative

influence on the company's image.

And I've done a bad job addressing it.

But I'll propose my solution.

From now on,

I'll hand over all my work duties

to Sun Lei.

I'll give Sun Lei some of my shares

in the business.

If you need advice regarding our company,

you can go straight to her.

Are you kidding?

Did you get our approval for this?

You want to

hand over the legacy of our generation,

the business built by your dad and us,

to someone else.

Uncle Li.

I don't understand your point.

Sun Lei and I joined the company at the same time.

Why isn't she part of the team?

Do you mean

I'm not part of the team?

Also,

I'm giving her my own shares.

I don't think your opinion is necessary.

Your past achievements have been remarkable.

We understand your decision.

Well.

I'll transfer some shares,

as a gesture of support.

It's decided then if you have no

further comments.

Thank you in advance.

We'll discuss the details later.

I'm quite busy, can't keep you company.

Have to go.

Youze.

What are you doing?

I've done my part for you.

They might want to

sell some shares to you.

You should learn to work with them.

I won't take over the company.

Why are you doing this?

Are you leaving the company?

I've made up my mind.

I'll resign even if you refuse to take over.

I've promised Qianyi.

I have to go.

I'm just about to call you!

My brother bought me a flight ticket

for the day after tomorrow.

Such a hurry.

I know. He said it's beyond discussion.

He really wants me gone!

What the hell happened?

Everything has changed ever since

Qianyi reclaimed her memories.

Youxi. Calm down.

He must be doing this

for a reason.

What reason?

He's always stubborn.

He never listens to me.

I'm sorry.

Why did you call me?

Youxi. Has your brother

ever promised anything to Qianyi?

I don't think so. Why?

Youze wants to step down as the president,

and he's giving some of his shares to me.

What?

This can't be true. Why?

Exactly. Why?

I have no clue.

So I asked you.

It's fine. Don't worry.

I'll ask him about your flight.

Thanks. I won't leave then.

Cool. Talk to you later.

Bye.

Recently, there have been many assumptions

on Luo Qianyi's comeback

at the Color Gala.

But the fund has announced that

she won't attend.

Could you please explain this?

As Qianyi's fiance,

I'd like to say thank you for

your concerns on behalf of

my family and MingYou Group.

Qianyi has lost her violin skills

due to her brain injury in the avalanche.

What?

Then why did she announce the comeback?

I found out about her announcement from the media.

I've discussed this with her.

I guess you can interpret this

as nostalgia.

Violin used to be

her past glory after all.

What do you think?

Do you find my skills similar

to that of Luo Qianyi?

This is your revenge tomorrow?

I've been practicing for days.

I think I'll pass for her.

And Chao promised to help me.

It has to be perfect.

Do you trust him?

What else can I do?

But I'm afraid you'll

make a fool out of yourself tomorrow.

But the audience is there to see Luo Qianyi,

even if I mess it up,

it's on her, not me.

Why are you still pretending to be her?

Why are you against Huo?

I want to know.

Know what?

You're not Luo Qianyi.

It's a lie. You know this.

I've been trying

to convince

myself that I'm Qianyi for a very long time.

Am I just a replacement?

I want to know whether

Huo said and did all those things

for me,

or for this face.

But I

never think of you as

the old Luo Qianyi.

Chao. What is going on?

Check the news.

Youze made his move.

The news.

We've been trying to

restore her memories since her discharge,

including her memories for violin.

But it doesn't work out well.

I believe losing her performance skills

devastated her.

She's been under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, she's taken

some radical moves

to stimulate her brain for memory recovery.

You mean...

Miss Luo is

mentally unstable now.

Could be one of the factors.

Looks like your revenge

show won't work out.

Everybody is watching you now.

People will spot your imperfections.

He's always one step ahead

of us on these tricks.

But we can call the police.

We can punish him

using the right way.

Chao. I watched the press conference.

What should we do?

It's not a big deal.

No one can stop you once you're there tomorrow.

Huo can't stop you from doing what you want

with so many people watching him.

But...

I know, the entire world knows

you can't play the violin.

Don't worry. I'll take care of the details.

Your decision is what matters the most.

Huo has announced that

you're devastated by amnesia.

If you choose to do nothing,

the world will believe his story.

But he sees right through me.

Calm down.

Give him the gift.

Don't forget about it.

Cool.

Come on in.

Youze. Have a look.

This is the final seating chart.

How is the press conference?

I watched it. It's good.

Looks fine.

Youze. What happened to you?

You're pushing this

to the dead end. This isn't like you.

What happened on the night

Qianyi disappeared?

Come on in.

Hi there.

Huo. You have a visitor

from Japan. A man.

He wants to ask you about the avalanche.

Avalanche?

Take him to the conference room.

Cool.

Don't come with me.

The seating looks fine.

Leave one or two empty seats at each table, just in case.

Your Chinese is good.

My family is originally from China.

I'm just a common Chinese man living in Japan.

I was a security guard before retirement.

Haven't worked in years.

I'm just a common man,

nothing special.

What can I do for you?

I'm retired.

I should've settled for a restful retirement.

But I can't get one thing

off my mind.

Oh, right.

You and your fiancee

were caught in an avalanche

in Hokkaido last year, right?

Yes.

May I ask,

did you encounter a pickpocket

at the Snow Mountain Hotel?

Pickpocket?

A willful girl.

Her name is Song Xiaodong.

Not that I recall.

Take a look at this.

Is she your family?

We're not related.

But I watched her grow up.

We're basically like father and daughter.

Who is my dad?

Is my dad in danger?

Where is my family?

I'm sorry. I've never seen her.

Mr. Huo. Are you absolutely sure?

I'm sure. I've never seen this girl.

Sorry.

Sorry to interrupt.

Yes?

Everything alright?

Give us a moment.

The scheduled interview is about to start.

You can leave

Mr. Feng with me.

Huo. I don't want to take up any more of your time.

Hold on.

Go to the venue.

Cool.

What is wrong, sis?

Don't talk like this.

You don't like it?

I finally have a sister-in-law I like.

Don't be like this.

Anything you want to tell me?

Tell me the truth.

What happened between you and my brother?

Nothing.

I watched the press conference.

Why did he do that?

He never let anyone

know about your flaws.

Maybe, he really doesn't

want me to attend the Color Gala.

That is not the point.

Have you ever

made an agreement with him?

It seems that he decided to leave

the company for this promise.

He's leaving the company?

He might want some free time

because work is too demanding.

My dad built this company.

You know its value to us.

Of course you know.

You decided to resign without telling anyone.

Did Sun Lei tell you this?

I'll explain later.

Our dad built this company.

You tried so hard to establish your position,

now you just give all that up?

Sun Lei will do a better job.

Don't worry. Your shares will remain the same.

I don't care about the shares.

What on earth is going on between you two?

You're hiding secrets from each other.

I don't know what happened.

Can you be honest with each other?

I won't ask any questions. Neither of you will say anything.

Fine.

I have to give an

explanation at today's press conference.

I'm sorry for everything I said.

Your apology doesn't change anything.

What are you planning to do?

I promised

to help you find your past.

I'll resign and we'll start a life of our own.

I remember what I said.

I'll keep that promise.

I'll tell you something

after tomorrow night.

I'm full. Enjoy your food.

Oh right.

This...

It's for you.

Where did you get it?

Why?

I'm asking where you got this.

Who gave it to you?

You're overreacting.

Qianyi.

I told you,

the old Qianyi is back.

It's impossible.

It can't be.

Do you find this funny?

I'm tired.

I'll do the dishes tomorrow.

Tell me who gave...

Let go of me!

No.

It's impossible.

What is that pair of sleeve buttons?

Why did Youze

get so nervous?

They left this pair of sleeve buttons

in a store when they went

to get clothes tailored.

She never picked it up.

You're not supposed to know about this.

That's why he was so surprised.

So,

how did you know

where the sleeve buttons are?

I'm her agent.

Yeah.

Right.

Took you long enough to find out, though.

It's not about finding out.

It's more about what I can do after it.

Have you made up your mind about tomorrow?

I'll be there.

Hi. Welcome.

How many people?

I'm meeting someone.

Yuhang, right?

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Take a seat.

Was it you who asked the hospital in Japan

about Luo Qianyi?

You're interested because?

I have some doubts as well.

Please let me finish.

You asked the hospital about

her condition, speech habit,

even her medical record.

Aren't we thinking about the same thing?

I came to China because I suspect

the Qianyi you see now

is not the real Qianyi.

Then who is she? Can you tell me?

It depends on how much evidence I can get.

[Feng Bairong]

She's missing.

She's also on the snow mountain

when the avalanche happened.

But the police didn't find her body.

Song Xiaodong is the

pickpocket you mentioned, right?

Yes.

She was a troubled young girl.

But she's smart.

She speaks excellent

Chinese and Japanese.

She's not a bad kid.

I can't get this off my mind

if I don't figure out what happened.

If you think of anything,

please don't hesitate to let me know.

It's my number.

[Feng Bairong]

Stop it.

There's no point pretending to be someone else.

I'm not.

I am Luo Qianyi.

I'm asking where you got this.

I told you,

the old Qianyi is back.
