Once Given Never Forgotten Ep21

I've always been like this.

Ask Xiang Yuqiu.

You weren't like this before.

What was I like before?

Never mind.

Forget this.

Your...

Gimme.

Gimme.

This...

This jade pendant,

I've seen it before.

What?

I said I saw it somewhere before.

You did?

Where?

Can't remember.

Can't remember.

Think about it.

You have a great memory, think.

Where did you see this?

Tell me.

I don't feel like it.

I'm still hungover

from yesterday.

Chen Qi,

you never saw it.

You're just a big liar.

Guys, Xiang Yuqiu is fighting with Luo Rui.

Chen Qi.

Luo Rui, what are you doing?

You're working with Lianxin,

that's pure business.

But I won't let you

hurt her feelings again.

Again,

as I said to you

when I left Spain,

you should take care of Lianxin.

It's not my fault

that she doesn't love you.

Look at yourself.

Are you still that charming pianist?

Cut the crap.

You're with Tang Shi now,

stop harassing Lianxin.

What's going on?

Luo Rui,

what's wrong with you?

Having a fight.

Don't you see?

You can only get your ass kicked.

Can't you see?

He's bullying me.

Who is?

You're a pianist.

You're a designer.

Neither can afford a scandal.

We're friends, just talk about it.

Friends?

More like enemies.

Enough.

Lianxin.

You're old enough

to control him and control yourself.

I don't care if he gets injured,

but Xiang Yuqiu's still recovering

from his injury on the hand.

Can you leave him alone?

What injury?

Tang Shi.

This doesn't concern you.

Leave it.

Let's go.

Tang Shi said

I'm responsible for Xiang Yuqiu's injury.

What does that mean?

Calm down.

Tell me then.

Fine.

Geez.

He's always overused

his right hand.

And he got injured in Africa.

He doesn't want you

to worry about him.

Got injured in Africa?

Let me see...

we had a fight.

Then...

See?

He knew that

if you knew, you'd blame yourself.

He really

did a lot for you.

But all you see is

him leaving you.

I know he's done a lot for me.

But why did he

reject me?

Well.

Who says he has to

love you back just because you love him?

If he rejected you and stayed with you,

wouldn't that be even worse?

He was about your age.

Imagine

that you are

taking care of a teenager

everyday

and living with him.

One day he confesses

his love to you.

How would you feel?

I don't know.

You can't judge him for doing that.

Sometimes,

you should try to think in his shoes.

So you think we're...

Geez, please.

I'm really bad at being a therapist.

Plus,

who am I to educate you

when I'm divorced and all alone?

You know how you feel.

I trust you.

Bye.

What?

Ben's bunny.

He asked me to take it out for the sun.

Cute?

Hi.

Hi.

What're you doing?

Sketching.

You're really into

your new role.

Don't peek.

It's a business secret.

If you say so.

If only we could be here forever.

So nice.

Hi,

can I help you?

Is Xiang Yuqiu here?

Mr. Xiang?

No.

Where is he?

Not sure.

Do you want to leave your number?

I'll pass the message.

My surname is Lian.

Ok.

Lian?

From now on, I'll take care of the liaison

with Ms. Su.

You don't have to see Lianxin.

No need.

What do you mean no need?

I worry about you.

I know you do.

But you don't know what's going on with me and Lianxin.

No.

I don't.

Because after all these years

you still see me as an outsider.

I don't know about you and Aunt Gu.

I don't know about you and Lianxin.

Why don't you tell me then?

Tang Shi.

Let's not talk about this.

If you have the time here,

you might as well go to Chen Qi

and take more photos

for the website.

Sir,

another client showed interest in Angel's Wings.

Still not selling?

No.

Not to anyone.

It's a pretty girl though.

And her surname

is Lian.

I gotta go.

Strange.

Why's he

so worked up?

Fishy.

What's this?

Another round?

What do they want?

Paparazzi.

Don't take it seriously.

Nice pictures though.

I look amazing.

Luo Rui.

When you agreed that I'd to be the spokesperson,

you should've foreseen this.

Nothing would help now.

Right?

Without the tidbits,

the traffic for Ms. Su won't improve that much.

I had no reason to reject you.

I didn't think this far.

You can't reject me at work,

what about in love?

You and Xiang Yuqiu will never be together.

Lianxin.

Don't tell me you feel nothing for me.

Why can't you

just give me another chance?

See?

You're blushing.

But

I'm not feeling it.

Xiang Yuqiu?

You...

You...

I don't know what happened to me.

Sorry.

Why didn't you collect the lamp

from the auction?

You spent 300,000 yuan to buy your own work to give to me,

what's wrong with you?

For charity, OK?

Why didn't you tell me about your hand?

I didn't want you to worry.

Does it still hurt?

It healed a long time ago.

Thank you for what you did

at the press conference.

No need to say that.

Our Lianxin

is a grown-up now.

Even if he doesn't love you,

he still cares about you.

He said to me,

thank you

for taking care of our Lianxin all these years.

Is there anything

you want to say to me?

Just be here with me for a while.

What are you thinking?

Philosophical questions?

Just find myself a joke.

Is it about Xiang Yuqiu again?

Ever since I came back,

I did everything I could

to stay away from him.

I thought I'd win

if I pretend don't care.

But you realized

that's not true.

I realized

there's no winning or losing.

Yeah.

Look at Luo Rui.

He's an amazing guy.

Right?

And he's always loved you.

Even though you never returned the love,

he's still in love with you

and is here for you.

Right?

Mutao.

What should I do?

Let it be.

Let it be?

Yeah.

Eat your food.

Drink your wine.

Build your career.

If you dream about someone,

go see them

when you wake up.

What?

Mutao.

You're really...

I'm so young

but I've seen through the world of red dust.

Geez.

Don't get a big head.

Eat.

Lianxin.

Tang Shi.

What do you need?

I'd like to talk to you about Xiang Yuqiu.

Nothing to talk about.

He chose to not tell me about his hand,

then he must have his reasons.

I don't know why you are back,

but I want you to stay away from him.

Ever since you're back,

you've been giving him

bad influences.

Did I?

I had no idea.

Guess I'm quite important

to him.

You...

I'm working.

You're disturbing me.

I'm not finished yet. Don't go.

I'm not finished, where are you going？

Do you have manners?

Thank you.

For what?

I didn't mean to do that.

Hello?

Aren't you gonna

throw a party for Lianxin?

For what?

For the success of Ms. Su.

I heard their revenue for this month

is equal to iShang.

The people who ship you and Lianxin

and the ones who ship Luo Rui and Lianxin

are about to start a fight.

So hard to be hot.

OK, you stay out of this.

I'll talk to her about the party.

OK.

Fine.

Gotta go.

How's it going?

Done.

Set up the lighting for tomorrow.

Sure.

Anything for me?

Come here.

Where did you get the money?

Not important.

I'm talking to my kid.

Shut up.

Who's your kid?

Who made you the parent?

Stand straight.

I won't.

Who made me?

Do you know how much trouble

you've caused, just for money?

You're one to talk.

You practically

killed Luo Ting!

Say it again.

I'm telling you,

I sold my jade pedant

because I felt sorry for you.

But I don't want to see you ever again!

Hello?

What? I'm busy.

I know who's jade pendant it is.

Where are you?

I'm coming over.

Chen Qi.

What's this?

Can't see anything.

I can't be wrong.

When she's young,

she sold it

when Xiang Yuqiu was sick

and bought him food.

I bought it back from the pawnshop.

I can't be wrong about this.

Are you

related to Lianxin?

Nonsense.

The jade pendant and

you two...

It's just a rare jade pendant.

And I wondered who's got the same one.

Can't believe it's her.

How funny.

It really is.

Don't tell anyone.

I know girls don't want to dress like each other.

Didn't know it applies to the jade pendant too.

Yeah, it does.

OK?

Especially with her.

Don't you think you're quite alike?

Especially how stubborn you both are.

There is nothing like it.

Don't be crazy.

I'm taking the photo.

That's right.

Xiang Yuqiu's a grown-up.

He can take care of himself.

You?

Worry about yourself first.

That way

he can be reassured and go back to China.

What did I say? You're a kid.

Everything you say is childish.

Think about it.

No way.

Her sight was fine.

But Lianxin was blind.

Lianxin can't be her.

How could it be Lianxin?

Still mad?

Alright.

I'm sorry.

Oh yeah,

I'm going to a concert tomorrow.

You coming?

Seriously?

Don't worry.

You're invited as an audience.

No one would notice.

Don't worry.

I'll never show up

in public with you.

There's nothing between us.

Why are you concerned?

Are you worried that Xiang Yuqiu might be upset

about this?

Of course not.

Then why?

I...

Nothing.

Let me off over there.

I can walk the rest.

You don't want to be seen with me this badly?

I wouldn't worry if what they said is true.

You're the one standing in the way.

Luo Rui.

By law, I'm your sister.

Can you please grow up?

Or I don't feel comfortable seeing your parents again.

You grow up.

That man fostered you.

He's responsible for my sister's death.

And now he's ruining you too.

I don't want to be your brother.

If you really care about my parents,

then don't hang out with the killer anymore!

Enough.

I don't want to hear this.

OK, bye.

Who is it?

A designer.

He's got pieces to see.

Meeting with him this afternoon.

Wait.

I have something to tell you.

What's wrong?

You're being weird.

Recently we had a lot of complaints,

saying the formaldehyde in our products

severely exceeds the standard.

That's not possible.

We only use Level A materials

for our products.

No way they don't comply.

Maybe something is wrong with the production line?

The quality inspection certificate is right there.

It should be fine.

I'll get all the partners on the line

to confirm.

No.

If you go to them straight away,

they'd feel mistrusted.

It could jeopardize the partnership.

Then what?

Look.

Find out the products being complained about.

Get one sample each

and we'll perform the test.

Brilliant.

I'm on it.

Xiang Yuqiu.

Xiang Yuqiu.

Why are you hiding here? Let's go.

Quick.

Can we not go?

No.

You know.

I hate these occasions.

Before, we needed exposure.

But now we have the name

and the online sales.

Why do I still have to go?

I know you don't like it.

I'll turn them down next time.

But today you have to go.

Breeze is doing really well in New Media.

This is also

the most profound column of the industry.

They're profound.

But the Chief Editor isn't so professional.

Talking about gossip more than anything.

That's an exaggeration.

Really.

Do you promise

that she won't ask any questions

apart from the ones outlined here?

I promise.

I called to confirm.

It's gonna be fine.

OK.

No more excuse.

Let's go.

Quick.

Get the stuff.

Hey.

Was Lianxin born blind?

Not according to the Director.

How come?

What happened?

I don't know.

Why do you care?

I don't.

Just curious.

You signed with Ms. Su recently

and became the first designer to work with them.

Why didn't you choose iShang,

who's better established?

Ms. Su has the same values

with us.

I sell furniture

and I care about the sales,

but I think having the same values

is even more important.

Look.

What's going on?

Who is it?

An interview.

A celebrity?

Yeah?

Let me see.

Do you think it's a coincidence?

What is?

Well.

We did a survey

among the readers.

One of them mentioned

that you're in some private relationship

with the CEO of Ms. Su.

What's your response?

What relationship is that?

Friends?

Or...

Look.

Someone just showed up.

Why don't we let the heroin tell us

what their relationship is.

Keep looking.

She must be alive.

Who are you?

Why are you dressed like this?

Sorry.

Next time you hit someone,

avoid the face.

I need it for my career.

What?

What happened?

I can't figure it out.

Seriously,

did you see the interview by Breeze?

It's out already?

Someone put a clip

on the Internet,

accusing Lianxin of dating me and Xiang Yuqiu at the same time. - Stop it.

Is it iShang again?

They try to smear your reputation

to kick us down.

We're still looking into the customer complaints.

We can't let the business be affected

because of me.

I have an idea.

We will invite the media

to the party tonight.

No.

This way, you can explain both things.

The media can shut up

and you can move on with Xiang Yuqiu too.

Perfect.

Don't you think?

If Xiang Yuqiu believed it,

then he'll stop harassing you.

And you don't have to see him again.

Mutao.

What do you think?

I...

I don't know.

What about you?

What's in it for you?

Your career might be affected.

I can't.

It's good for me.

The paparazzi make up girlfriends for me

every now and then.

One day I'm dating a musician,

the next day an actress.

They can fabricate the story

based on a photo.

So annoying.

Lianxin.

Look at the big picture.

Don't forget,

I'm Ms. Su's spokesperson.

I bear responsibility for the platform too.

Let me think about it.

Be careful.

Sir.

It's you.

You're the one who had a fight with Chen Qi.

Sir,

has Lianxin visited recently?

Sure.

Ever since she's back, she visits all the time.

What's up?

Did she do something?

No, no.

I just need to ask some questions.

Do you have

Lianxin's past in the record?

Why?

I might have found clues

Really?

We don't have a lot of information,

so I'm turning to you.

Lianxin has a jade pendant,

was it with her

when she first came?

Yes.

Should be her parents'.

Was she born blind?

She was injured during a marine peril and lost her sight.

Was it the one in the Philippines in 1993?

I'm not sure.

The Department of Civil Affairs

sent her over.

The Department of Civil Affairs?

Thank you, sir.

Let's not tell Lianxin yet.

We might be wrong.

I don't want her to be disappointed.

OK.

Why are you here?

I'm used to it.

You've always signed my exam papers

and met with the teachers

when I was little.

Don't forget though,

it's always Xiang Yuqiu who cleans up the mess.

I didn't.

You said yes to Luo Rui?

Why are you here then?

I'd like to know your thoughts.

If you think it's OK...

You want me to object, right?

Lianxin.

Ask yourself.

Are you really over Xiang Yuqiu?

Don't care about the others.

To keep one lie going,

you need many more.

You said you were over Xiang Yuqiu,

and you need to do a lot to convince yourself.

Why bother?

So are you really

over Tang Shi?

Of course not.

Well, well.

You're a liar too then.

That's why I said

lying is tiring.

Why are you so aloof to her then?

I'm simply

playing

hard to get.

Is it working?

Normally it does.

Not sure about Tang Shi.

Lianxin,

let's form an alliance.

You're saying

you want my help with Tang Shi?

Yes.

And I'll help you with Xiang Yuqiu.

You need some time?

I'm in.

In for what?

I love Xiang Yuqiu

and I want him back.

Great.

The Love Alliance

is officially kicked off.

Let's pursue

the love of life.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

It's just a celebration party.

How come there are so many strangers?

Ask Lianxin.

What's going on with them?

Are they together?

Says who?

I don't believe he can resist

Tang Shi.

There's no such guy

in this day and age.

I think Chen Qi needs you.

Stay with him.

Come here.

Where to?

I'm not finished eating.

Answer me,

why so many strangers

at this party?

Thanks to your interview.

A guide of fashion?

More like a guide of gossip.

Slandering Lianxin

is just too much.

I didn't say anything at the interview.

Plus,

what does that have to do with this?

You'll see.

Hey, Mr. Chen.

Long time no see.

This is Ms. Tang.

Hello.

Cheers.

Anything else?

Nothing, see you around.

Bye.

You see what's called a decent guy?

Dear guests.

Tonight, we are here

to celebrate the fact that Ms. Su's revenue exceeded 100 million.

We're also celebrating the collaboration between Ms. Su

and Ingenuity and Luo Rui.

We'll now have Lianxin,

CEO of Ms. Su to make a speech.

They look amazing together.

Thank you, everyone,

for attending this event.

This is the 4th year

since I started Ms. Su in Spain.

I'd like to say thank you to two people,

who're vital to our success in China.

The first

is our spokesperson, Luo Rui.

The other

is Xiang Yuqiu from Ingenuity.

I believe

many of you are wondering about our relationships.

But

I don't want my private life

to get in the way of the business.

So I'd like to clarify

that Luo Rui,

Xiang Yuqiu and I

have been friends for years.

I was an orphan.

And I knew Xiang Yuqiu and Luo Rui from childhood.

This friendship is very important to me.

That's why they have supported me so much

ever since I came back.

They'd been there for me at the hardest times.

Thank you.

So I hope I made it clear.

And the media

can leave them alone.

Thank you.

I'll go have a look.

Lianxin.

I thought we had a deal.

Why did you change your mind?

I don't want to deceive you

or myself.

This is pointless.

If I used you,

I'd look down upon myself.

You're just worried about Xiang Yuqiu.

You're not over him.

I'm not over him,

and I can't use you.

I don't mind.

But I do.

If I do love you,

I can tell the whole world.

But you cannot fake something

like this.

That's OK.

You don't have to do anything.

Luo Rui.

I really don't want to lie to you.

Sorry.

To me,

being lied to is my happiness.

Go back.

I'd like to be alone.

Lianxin,

I'm sorry.

I said I'd support all your decisions.

You have your life

and I have mine.

You should shine on the stage,

not being smeared

by the rumors.

Goodbye.
