[Lover or Stranger Ep20]

Mr. Huo.

Bad timing.

I'm busy.

I'm going out later.

On the night of the Color Gala,

why did you come uninvited?

Huo Youze.

I will make it clear to you.

I have no time for you.

I did it for Qianyi.

What happened exactly?

You'd better tell me in full detail.

Mr. Huo.

How about this?

How about you tell me first in detail

what you have done.

Fine.

The girl I brought back from Japan

was not Qianyi.

Her name is Song Xiaodong.

She doesn't know how to play the violin at all.

So, about the performance that night,

the person playing was Qianyi.

I know.

From announcing the comeback

to performing on stage,

everything was planned by you.

That's right.

I still remember the look on your face

during the show vividly.

Where is Xiaodong?

What Xiaodong?

Song Xiaodong.

The girl you used to get back at me.

Where did you take her?

It's you who is using her.

Why would I take her?

Chao.

You'd better not lie to me.

I'm not lying to you.

I have nothing against her.

I don't even know what happened

between you two.

Why would I take her?

Then why did Qianyi

happen to be back when Xiaodong is not here?

You're so good at making things up.

Huo Youze.

Are you blaming me for everything?

Do you know how miserable I felt

when Qianyi came to my door?

I can't imagine how she went through

the past six months.

Let me tell you.

You owe her all this.

She can come back

whenever she wants.

I will bear the consequences of my own mistakes.

But Xiaodong is innocent.

Stop being a hypocrite.

That girl disappeared.

Isn't that exactly what you want?

I think it's you who did it.

Why would I do it?

Right?

If you don't believe me,

it's okay.

Just call the police.

Ask the police to be the judge.

You got scared?

You want to help Qianyi.

I don't blame you.

But talk some sense into her.

Don't get things out of control.

Going this far to get back at me

is in fact not worth it.

I've asked. It's not Chao.

Are you sure?

He's not afraid to call the police.

If he did help Qianyi take Xiaodong,

he won't be like that.

Is there anyone else who knew

Xiaodong was at your place?

How could Qianyi know she can

find Xiaodong at your place?

Was she following you?

Could it be Meizi?

Xiaodong told me,

when she saw Meizi at the market,

she got here by following

some kind of pattern.

Pattern?

Here.

This is it.

Did you notice the leaf?

The leaf gives you the direction.

Feng.

Feng, look at this one.

Is it also a code?

Something must have happened here.

Song Zhengnan left the code to tell the people looking for him

it was dangerous here.

Right.

Meizi once told me

Song Zhengnan offended someone.

But she didn't know who it was.

Then...

Then what?

Then it was on the news the next day

that Song Zhengnan broke into Huo Youze's house.

So, Song Zhengnan probably ran away

and broke into Huo Youze's house

on the same day.

Why are you here to see me?

Do you know that Qianyi is marrying me?

Are you here to flaunt?

Fine. Congratulations.

Don't you care at all?

Since Qianyi especially asked me to leave,

what can I do?

You mean Qianyi came to see you?

I told you.

Qianyi especially came here

and asked me not to wait for her.

So you can relax.

You don't need to come here and stress it again.

I didn't mean that.

Did Qianyi tell you anything else?

She said she couldn't feel love anymore.

It's me.

I don't think it's Qi Fan.

Did you ask someone to look for Song Zhengnan?

No, I didn't.

Are you still hiding the truth from us now?

After he broke into your house,

someone went looking for him.

Who else could it be?

There is someone else.

Also,

she knows that Xiaodong was at your place.

What do you want?

I heard you were following me.

Mind your mouth.

No wonder you were so chatty

at Mr. Li's dinner party.

You deserve to be punched.

Tell us.

What else did you do

for your boss?

Stop questioning him.

Mr. Huo.

Let me ask you this.

Did Ms. Sun ask you to do anything?

I...

Now the technology is so advanced.

You look exactly the same as me.

Even your eye expressions are the same as mine.

No wonder no one spotted it.

I can't be you.

I tried. We are completely different.

So you mean

Huo Youze fell in love with someone

who is totally different from me.

He doesn't love me.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

I'm hungry.

I know I don't look pretty when I eat.

You must feel terrible

seeing someone who looks exactly like you

doing this.

I imitated you.

I watched you in the videos,

learning how you speak,

how you walk,

and your postures.

Because everyone told me

that was me.

Do you know how I felt then?

I hated myself so much.

I thought everything was my fault.

I can imagine.

Since I've met the real you,

I don't need to worry about

those problems anymore.

Luo Qianyi.

I really hope you can be more honest.

If you hadn't done

what you didn't intend to do,

maybe what happened in Japan wouldn't happen.

To some extent,

I am also a victim.

Did you say I am not honest enough?

Yeah.

You're not honest

with Qi Fan, Youze,

or even yourself.

I once thought I was a bitch.

Let's not talk about me.

Let's talk about you.

You saw me that day.

Why didn't you tell Youze?

I just want him to think you're dead.

Torture him a few more days.

I won't go back there, anyway.

When you return to him,

I will be long gone.

But he fell in love with you.

But I don't love him.

Girl.

Think about it.

We two can work together.

In this world,

I am the only one who can feel

your hatred.

Huo Youze.

He took away my identity,

my name,

my face,

my everything.

He is the main culprit!

Why are you laughing?

I'm starting to like you.

What's there about me to be liked?

You are approaching me.

You want me to like you.

You want me to think

you and I are on the same side.

You are hiding things from me

while playing up to me.

And you are doing this effortlessly.

I guess this is your ability.

Well then...

I'm sorry.

Apart from working here,

what kind of respectable work

do you think you can have?

What?

You still can't find it?

If you want to delay it as much as you can,

how about I make you pay the price today?

About the money,

I did give it to him on the mountain.

I did give it to him on the mountain.

Forget it.

I know you.

Your face.

I see.

What is your man called?

Huo Youze.

You know Huo Youze?

Let's make a deal.

What deal?

Take me to your man.

Pay a price for your freedom.

How about that?

Come on.

Why didn't you just contact Huo Youze?

I want to go back home.

You said you would take me home.

What's the point of shouting at me?

Contact Huo Youze?

He has abandoned you.

He already went home with another Luo Qianyi.

That is why

he didn't come to find you.

On paper,

Luo Qianyi has gone back to China unscathed.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Look.

Tell me,

what do you mean I seduced a man?

Did you see me seducing a man?

This is much more complicated than you think.

What a liar!

It's impossible.

What a liar!

I am still here.

How could this be?

Your fiance is really something.

Yet you think he loves you very much.

It's impossible.

Help me.

Help me go back home.

I am Luo Qianyi.

I am the real Luo Qianyi.

We got something on him.

Help me go back home. I'll pay you a lot of money.

Alright, alright.

Don't get edgy.

Fine.

Then I will

think of a way

to get you a fake passport.

It was supposed to be simple.

Now it's getting tricky.

Why are you so impatient?

Acting so recklessly.

My plan got all messed up by you.

What kind of plan can you have?

You just want to set a good price

and sell all of us.

If you hadn't shown up,

Huo Youze would be a murderer.

Do you know how much this information is worth?

I risked my life to come here.

Of course I need to make some profits.

What are you doing now?

Playing house?

Do you think you can get back at Huo Youze like this?

Yes, I just want to get back at him.

It makes me happy to trick him.

What will you do

if he doesn't care and plans to go along?

But he cares.

I just want to make clear of that.

Why are you impatient?

You just want money.

You will get it eventually.

You can do whatever you want.

But I won't just give up like this.

While you are dreaming about your wedding,

I am out there every day

like a beggar.

Take it.

You can live there.

It's under my name.

Thanks.

I am curious about one thing.

What's the difference between her and me?

Who?

You mean the other Qianyi?

She is an unpretentious girl.

Unpretentious?

So is she honest?

Honest?

I didn't feel it that much.

Did you contact her often?

No.

She was always the one coming to me.

Why?

She is persistent.

Persistent?

She desperately wanted to know who she is.

Maybe because many people told her

she was Luo Qianyi.

But she didn't believe it.

Am I not good?

I thought people would envy me.

Of course they would.

It's just that she is not you.

Seems like

you quite like her.

To be honest,

she is quite cute.

You and she are different.

But she is very charming.

Actually,

she is the same as you.

She is also a victim.

I wonder

how she is now.

I don't know.

If you have to say someone is guilty of all this,

then it's only Huo Youze.

Isn't it?

Really?

How about me?

You are guilty?

What did you do?

Nothing.

I'm just thinking.

Is it because I was too greedy back then?

That's why Qi Fan and Youze

were both hurt by me.

Maybe I am also guilty.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

I'm going home.

After you went back,

how did Huo Youze react to it?

It seems too quiet these days.

I didn't hold him accountable for anything.

Being quiet is good for everyone.

How is your relationship?

He agreed to marry me.

However,

I need to see his actions.

I'm leaving. Don't drink too much.

Ask people to write some articles.

Disclose some details of the love story

between Mr. Huo and Qianyi.

Mention the part where he proposed with a violin.

Got it?

That's about it.

Also, there is no special need

to target Qi Fan.

Just explain things clearly.

Alright. That's it.

The rest is up to you.

So?

It's you.

No one wants to be the bad guy.

I just have to do it, then.

Isn't she your daughter?

Maybe she is not.

Maybe my daughter will be Mrs. Huo.

And the one in the photo is Luo Qianyi.

Even if you don't care about her,

when things like this go public,

it must be tough for you.

Are you an animal?

Alright.

No one is innocent.

I am here to do business.

To clean up this mess for you.

Let me tell you this.

I will take my daughter back.

Your boss can get his wife back.

All will have their lives back.

Think about it.

What's the price?

Ten million dollars.

Huo Youze spent a million dollars

for a violin for his fiancee.

Me asking for ten million is not too much.

Get the money ready.

I will keep this secret forever for you.

Song Xiaodong will never appear again.

And Luo Qianyi will return to Huo Youze.

What do you think?

This is not a small amount.

Can I trust you?

You have to.

I will give you two days.

Think about it carefully.

Who was that?

Why are you here?

What happened? What money?

Who do you need to trust?

Nothing.

Just a paparazzi.

I can handle it.

You shouldn't hide it from me.

I can handle it.

If this is about Xiaodong,

I will never forgive you.

I have asked Ding.

Why did you go to see Song Zhengnan?

Why did you contact him in secret?

Youze.

Song Xiaodong is just

coming back to his father.

Her dad is just asking for

some hush money.

We can just give it to him.

After that,

we no longer have to be responsible for it.

What did you say?

Isn't it the case?

You saved her from the avalanche.

You no longer owe her anything.

Let's grab a bite later and talk.

Okay. Where?

The restaurant you like before.

Great. I'll get prepared.

Please.

Shall I serve the dishes now?

Not now.

I haven't been here for long.

Yeah.

I have proposed to you.

But I still owe you an engagement ring.

I picked it.

What do you think?

Cut to the chase.

Have you ever thought about

marrying her?

I can't

mix you two up.

I soon realized

I couldn't lie to myself

and see the one in front of me as you.

You look the same,

but your souls are different.

Your feelings are also different.

She is not your replacement.

I know she is not you.

So I told myself

to say goodbye to you.

I also told myself

you would never be back.

Yet I came back.

Yes.

I am happy.

It's true.

But I have changed.

You also have changed.

Everything has changed.

So we can't make mistakes anymore.

If this is really what you want,

I can give it to you.

But in terms of what you and your friend have done,

I can't forgive you.

Let her go.

Talk it over with him.

Make sure Xiaodong will be free and safe.

If he wants money,

I can give him that.

I will come clean with everyone about it later.

Right now, as long as you can stop,

I can be responsible for everything.

I can bear all the consequences.

As for me and you,

if you take it,

I will fulfill my promise to you.

But Qianyi,

is this what you really want?

Why?

What's in it for you if you get her out?

Are you this desperate

for the world to know

the dirty work you've done?

Do you want to use your reputation,

your company,

and the Color Initiative to atone for your sin?

Many things

can't be taken back once they've started.

It took me a lot of time to understand this.

I can't pretend that all of this

never happened.

Even if it means

I can't avoid my nightmares.

I can't run away from the darkest moment

in my life

that I regret the most.

We can't

simply erase those days.

I can't.

I can't act like

I've never met her in my life.

But I don't want to.

I don't want to remember any of those days at all.

Qianyi.

Didn't you

leave me there to rot?

So how dare you

talk to me so nobly like this?

I also want you to tell me

what you have been through.

I can tell you this.

Before taking back everything you took away from me,

I won't make it easy for you.

You want to solve everything with money.

But it's not that simple.

I want you to announce our wedding to the media ASAP.

Otherwise,

I am capable of doing anything.

Why are you laughing?

I just feel at ease.

Me too.

Like my sister is by my side.

Use this to contact me these days.

Dad.

Did you go to see that woman later?

Yes.

Does she know Xiaodong?

That woman knows Xiaodong

because her fiance,

the man called Huo Youze,

was also on that snow mountain.

He did something terrible and I caught him.

He is our big fish to catch this time.

Dad.

What were you and Xiaodong doing

on the snow mountain?

Take some rest first.

What?

Wait longer?

I will give you what you want.

But it's not now.

I don't have time to play games with a crazy woman like you.

We are not in Japan.

With one phone call,

I can make you lose your hideout.

Are you threatening me?

I make the call now

about the rules

and the duration

of this game.

Is this for a beggar?

I can give you more if it's not enough.

I don't care.

Money does change people.

You now have what you wished for.

But does he know

what you have done over the past six months?

Huo Youze promised to pay you

what you asked for.

But his condition

is not for you to keep his secret,

but for you to let Song Xiaodong go.

Let her go?

What's in it for him to have two women

with the same face wandering out there?

He thinks he owes this to Song Xiaodong.

He wants to confess to the world

what he did.

Huo Youze chooses a woman over his career.

He really loves Xiaodong.

Even though I say it's true love,

she is just wearing your face.

I truly feel pity for you.

Is it a deal or not?

I want the money, of course.

But I raised Xiaodong.

Why should I let her go for Huo Youze?

I am curious.

Is Song Xiaodong really your daughter?

You tied her up like she is a prisoner.

You don't need to worry about that.

Her strong survival skills

were taught by me.

But if the kid isn't well-behaved,

it's also a challenge for the parents.

Besides, I've never said I was a good father.

Anyway, when your game is over,

you still need to get my things done.

Whether he wants his career

or a woman,

I always have a way to continue the game.

[Congratulations! I saw Miss Luo's post on Weibo. You two are finally getting married.]
