Original subtitles

Anyway, that's the situation.

Everything is going

according to plan.

When are you going home

to harvest the fruit of your victory?

About that,

I think I need

your cooperation again.

My mom wants a visit.

Why does she want to come?

Wait,

doesn't she oppose our relationship?

Besides,

she's not pressuring you to get married anymore.

Yes,

I told her I'm not moving home.

I want to live by myself.

That's good.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Then why does she still want to come?

That's because.

I didn't tell her our relationship is fake.

So, she really thinks

we're dating.

I've made a decision.

I won't meddle in your business anymore.

You have your own ideas

and your own life.

I won't get involved

in your marriage anymore

in case you hold a grudge against me.

I don't care if you and Qin Shi

would end up together.

I just want to remind you

that a girl from

a divorced family…

Mom.

Let me put it this way.

You'll need to go the extra mile

when you're with someone from that kind of family.

Of course,

you're

responsible for your own life.

It's fine as long as

you're happy.

Well, there's no need for you to visit.

Of course, I should visit.

I can tell

right away

that she's not good at managing the house.

That goes for you too.

You don't do any chores at home.

I just want to see

how you're managing your life together.

That way I can be reassured.

Why?

I can't even do that?

You agreed?

Not really.

I told her I need to discuss it with you.

Wait a minute.

For your mom to make that suggestion,

even if she knows you're not single,

it still means she hasn't fully given up.

What makes you think that?

You see,

if I reject her

on this issue,

that means I'm disrespectful,

improper,

and guilty.

She would become a victim.

As her son,

you will have a guilty conscience.

As time goes by,

you'll have a conflict

with your girlfriend,

which is me.

That's how mother-in-law issues

come from in ordinary families.

Even if we're not a real couple,

from my understanding of your mother,

she's certainly not the type

who would give up after one refusal.

If I agree,

I'd bring disaster upon myself.

Sorry.

I…

I don't mean to offend her.

I just think

if we let her come this time,

it's not a big deal that she sees

a flaw.

More importantly, she knows where we live.

What should we do if she comes by

for a surprise inspection

from time to time?

Exactly.

You're the more attentive one after all.

Well, what should we do now?

Is your mom a proud person?

Does she have a big ego?

Just like you.

That's great.

I have an idea.

But

I can't tell you right now

because I need to

keep you in suspense.

What do you want me to do?

Go wash the dishes.

Okay.

Go wash dishes.

Tell me after that.

Mom.

Son.

Why did you bring so much food?

These are all your favorites.

I even made some wontons for you.

There are ones with meat stuffing, mixed stuffing,

and shrimp stuffing.

Put them on the table.

Hurry up,

put them in the freezer.

Don't always

order takeout from now on.

Where's Qin Shi?

She's… working overtime.

She's working overtime on Sunday?

What a busy bee.

Son, don't lie to me.

I think

she's deliberately trying to

avoid me, right?

Why would you think that, Mom?

Mom,

here, change into the slippers.

I'm sorry.

This is for you,

not for Dudu.

Dudu.

I came here for some quiet time.

I just think

if she can make you run away from home,

your future mother-in-law

is no pushover.

What future mother-in-law? Not even close.

I saw your mom a few days ago.

She doesn't look well.

It will be.

Dad's 70th birthday soon.

Aren't you planning to

make them happy by bringing your

secret boyfriend to the party?

I came here

for the land of peace

and to spend some time with Dudu.

If you're thoughtful and obedient,

you'll stop talking about this.

Otherwise, I'll jump off from here.

Let's jump off together.

Stop joking.

Okay, I'll be thoughtful.

You need to keep this a secret for me.

Don't tell my mom.

Why?

Your boyfriend is

a bit weird.

But he's not weird enough

for you to be ashamed of him.

Don't you know

how my mom is?

Every time I have a boyfriend,

not even a boyfriend,

even if I have a male friend

who I exchanged more words with,

my mom would start to fantasize

about the name of our child

and whether the child has single-fold eyelids

or double-fold eyelids.

Do you remember when I

broke up with Tao Junhui?

Who was the one that

cried for three days and couldn't get out of bed?

My mom,

my own mother.

Please don't give her

any hope again, will you?

You're right.

Poor you.

Fine, tell me,

what do you want to do today?

I'm all yours today, okay?

I'm here to have fun.

Mom,

this is the study.

The study?

Mom, this is the bathroom.

The bathroom…

This neighborhood has a great environment

and the house design is good too.

This furniture…

Qin Shi bought them herself.

Okay.

Mom,

this is the bedroom.

Can I go inside?

Sure.

Normally…

Are you together normally?

No.

Really?

No,

Counselor Qin and I…

Qin Shi and I

have different schedules.

Sometimes she would come home late from work

and she doesn't want to disturb my sleep.

Therefore, we mostly

sleep in separate rooms.

Besides,

Mom, we're not married yet.

We are

quite conservative.

This house is pretty clean.

Do you do the cleaning or does she?

She's pretty busy with work.

I'm the one who does most of the cleaning.

Mom, I'll get you a cup of tea.

You can't do the cleaning all the time.

You two should

share household chores.

That way there won't be any conflicts.

Well…

You little rascal!

You little rascal!

How could you lie to me?

What did I lie about, Mom?

Mom.

I'm not old-fashioned.

But I have a bottom line.

You… you need

to be responsible for your own life.

I'm warning you,

if you…

get her pregnant

before you get married,

causing any gossip,

I won't spare you!

What are you talking about, Mom?

What pregnant?

Mom,

what do you mean?

It feels awesome

to win.

Oh, no.

I'm exhausted.

I need to get some food.

My stupid brother

hasn't surrendered to you yet?

I don't have time

to wait for him to surrender.

Have some nuts to replenish your energy.

You two are really not anxious at all?

Anxious?

How do you write that?

I don't know.

Please teach me.

Speak of the devil.

The devil is calling.

Look.

Since you're not anxious,

just ignore the call.

I don't think that's necessary.

Hang up. Hang up.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

A beauty meets another beauty.

Sorry, I already hung up.

Fine, Baby Shi, let me tell you,

we Scorpios would really

hold a grudge.

I'll hold a grudge against you for a hundred years.

So annoying.

I wish you would hold a grudge.

Hello.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Why did you toss your hair?

Hey, Beauty.

Look, does this look nice?

What about this?

Is it okay if I go out in this?

Who just called you?

Vivian.

That fraud wants to see me.

She's got some nerve.

What does she want to see you for?

I don't know.

I'll know when I get there.

Is she playing some kind of trick?

She's got some nerve, doesn't she?

What about this?

Does this look good?

They are all fine.

Can you focus?

I am focused.

No matter what you wear,

you're going to slash demons.

The most important thing

in a fight is momentum.

Do you know?

Half of the battle is won

if your momentum overpowers the enemy.

See, let me tell you,

these, and these,

do you know what they are called?

Battle armors.

Over the years,

I've met with countless vixens

in them and they've made me

great achievements, okay?

That's… not going to work. You…

Why do I feel like

I've never seen you so nervous before?

Are you afraid of something?

I'm afraid?

I don't like that.

What am I afraid of?

If I get divorced,

I have a car, a house, and savings.

I can even make a living by myself.

I will have

no burden in my life, okay?

I can eat and drink whatever I want,

travel all over the country,

and find myself all kinds of boyfriends.

I would be living such a happy life.

Are you sure you want a divorce?

You have no feelings for Qin Wenyu anymore?

It's better to have feelings

for the TV remote control

than to have feelings for your brother.

At least you can hold the remote control in your hand

and watch whatever you want.

As for him…

I know you too well.

The more you deny it,

the more you feel for him inside.

Baby Shi, let me tell you,

love is a scary thing.

Once you fall in love

with someone,

that means

you're putting a knife

in that person's hand

with the sharp end pointing to yourself.

Anyway, I ended up with

sorrow all over my heart over the past two years.

I was badly hurt by him.

I've made a decision.

If I really get a divorce this time,

I will accept the fact.

Maybe…

Maybe it's destined to be over.

I don't think you two would get a divorce.

I think neither of you

can live without the other.

What?

I can't live without him?

Instead of enjoying my life,

I must battle the other women

all over the place every day.

My… my life shouldn't be like that.

Do you understand?

Well, just like that song,

please give me a better rival in love.

Give me a better one.

Can't he find a better one?

What the hell is Vivian?

Can't he pick a better one?

It makes me angry just by thinking of that.

No,

I have to find… I have to find another outfit.

What about this?

What about the yellow one?

Wear that green one.

A green outfit suits you.

What?

What do you mean? You're…

So annoying.

How can you still make fun of me?

I'm serious.

Which is better? This one or that one?

The green one looks so nice.

Go ahead.

Why are you here to see me?

Don't you have

everything you want already?

Ms. Ren,

I know you must

hate me very much.

But there's actually nothing

between Wenyu and me.

If it wasn't for that misunderstanding,

we won't contact each other in private.

Actually, I've been

meaning to explain it to you.

I don't want to destroy your family.

You regret it?

No,

I just feel sorry

for Wenyu.

He owns such a large company

but he has no say in it at all.

Everyone in the office knows

that all the affairs

including buying a new pen

must go through you.

Mr. Qin doesn't have any power at all.

Ms. Ren,

if you keep pushing a man like that,

no wonder he would run away.

What do you mean?

Are you standing up for Qin Wenyu?

Do you think you have the right

to say that to me?

Ms. Ren, calm down.

I'm here to save your marriage.

You've been married for ten years, right?

It's not easy to be married for ten years.

Wenyu is a very generous man.

He bought this outfit,

and these jewelry for me

before I even asked.

He also promised to buy me a house and a car.

Honestly,

I can't say I wasn't tempted.

I'm just a girl

who struggles in the big city.

If one can have an affluent life like that,

everyone would be tempted, right?

So, you're planning to bargain with me?

I'm a woman of integrity.

I never wanted to

destroy anyone's family.

Besides, I heard

you were the reason why

our company developed and grew.

I really admire you.

You're my role model.

It's from Mr. Qin.

Should I answer it?

Do what you want.

Wenyu.

Hello?

Can you bring a box of fried chicken

on your way back?

You miss me already?

Yes, I miss you.

I'm talking things over with some friends.

I'll be back soon.

Don't forget the fried chicken.

Fried chicken.

Got it.

Ms. Ren,

I don't think

we must be enemies.

We can totally help each other.

I can make Wenyu return to your side.

Ms. Ren,

you can provide a home for me in another city.

Letting the cat out of the bag?

Go ahead.

How much do you want?

One million.

One million?

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

If I want,

I'm willing to pay anything

let alone one million.

The point is,

do you deserve it?

You just said it yourself.

I'm the one who's

running the entire company.

If Qin Wenyu leaves me,

he'll leave with nothing.

All the estates and properties will be mine.

I'm finally able to

get rid of him.

Now you're asking me to pay to get him back?

Little Girl,

do you think you're intimidating me

by making a phone call and

displaying affection in front of me?

I'm tired of a cheap trick

like this

and you're still trying to show off in front of me.

Are you running out of moves?

Ms. Ren,

can you stop speaking out of spite?

I've seen many girls like you.

Just because you're young,

you think you can

buy your future with your youth.

You never imagined it will

come back to bite you in the ass?

Then again,

if it does come back,

make sure to protect your behind.

Because everyone must be

responsible for their own actions.

Am I right,

Ms. Lu Fenghe?

Ms. Ren, what are you saying?

My name isn't Lu Fenghe.

Hello, Ms. Lu.

This is your information.

Hello, my name is Qin Shi.

I'm Ms. Ren Meimei's

attorney

and Qin Wenyu's sister.

Aren't you that…

That's right. You remember me?

I took a lot of pictures of you.

Ms. Lu,

actually,

we are very clear

about who you are,

what you've done,

what you're going to do,

and where you came from.

If you haven't had

legal popularization classes in prison,

I can give you

a lesson for free.

We suspect that you're involved in

forgery of identification

and fraud.

If we don't see.

Mr. Qin Wenyu

within 24 hours,

you'll also be charged for

abduction and extortion.

That's 24 hours.

Let's go.

Ms. Ren,

don't you want Wenyu

to correct his mistake and come home?

Ms. Ren!

I'm not his mom.

I'm not responsible for his home education.

Whether Qin Wenyu comes home

has nothing to do with me.

By the way,

you want money, right?

You…

Ms. Ren…

That's all you're worth.

How much money did I stuff in her hand?

About two hundred.

What a waste.

Or I pick it up…

I was just saying.

You're back?

Did you buy the fried chicken?

I forgot to tell you

I want the spicy one.

Which flavor did you buy?

You asshole!

You ruined me, you know?

What's wrong?

How do you have the audacity to ask me?

I've been

feeding you

and taking you in for days.

Now, your entire family

is ganging up to bully me!

Who bullied you?

Did Ren Meimei come to see you?

Just ignore her.

Let me see.

What did she do to you?

Let me see.

Don't touch me!

Qin Wenyu,

I finally realized.

You're nothing

without your wife!

How can you say that?

Our love is true.

Who loves you?

Give me the money,

the house, and the car!

If you don't have money,

don't pretend to be something.

Get out of here now!

Why didn't I

realize your true character?

You act like a little bunny when it's beneficial.

You're showing your true colors

when it's not, right?

I was so blind

to fall for you!

Who's the blind one?

What do you think I see in you?

Because you're unknowledgeable

and not hard-working?

I'll get out of here.

Give me some money.

What money?

What do you mean?

I don't have a dime on me.

Wouldn't I have to stay in a hotel?

Besides, you hurt my feelings.

You have to compensate me!

Money.

Get out!

Wait.

Take off your clothes and give them to me!

Ouch! Ouch!

Wenyu, what happened here?

Ouch, ouch!

I know, I know.

Mommy knows.

Be gentle.

Be gentle.

It'll feel better after I roll the egg.

It'll help with the swelling.

Any other bruises?

Here… here it is.

Geez.

Mom,

I think I'm dying.

What would you do if I die?

Stop that.

What do you mean you're dying?

Your skin is intact

and you're not bleeding.

How will you die?

No, Mom.

It's here.

I feel terrible here. It's a psychological issue.

Look at my hand.

It's still shaking even now.

That's a stroke.

You don't have a stroke.

No, Mom.

Why is it so hard to stay alive?

I always treat people whole-heartedly.

But no one treats me whole-heartedly.

Nobody wants me.

What's the point of staying alive?

I might as well die.

You don't have a fever.

If you really don't feel well,

Mommy will take you to the hospital.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

Even if I die, I'll die at home.

Look at you.

You're doing that again.

Stop mentioning

death all the time.

It's very bad luck.

Bah! Bah!

Be good.

Get up. Someone's here.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Meimei,

I feel awful.

What's wrong?

She kicked you out?

She didn't kick me out.

I escaped myself.

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible.

You don't have a fever.

Honey.

What are you doing? Who's your honey?

We're already divorced.

Honey,

by coming here to see me,

that proves you still care about me.

You don't have to worry.

I know

I'm about to die.

You can wait a bit longer.

Maybe we don't

have to get a divorce anymore.

After I die,

you can inherit

all of my assets.

But I just have one request,

be nice to Mom.

That would be good enough for me.

Stop that.

Weren't you going to shack up

with Vivian?

Meimei.

Honey, she's a liar.

I was so wronged, Honey.

I never wanted to

do anything with Vivian.

I only did that

to make you jealous.

I swear on all my skins

in my games

that it was completely innocent

between us when I stayed at her place.

I really didn't do anything.

Honey.

I have the best wife in the world.

Why would I want anyone else?

Honey.

I was so wronged, Honey.

Look,

it's snowing outside.

Meimei.

Mom.

Stay and eat with us.

I'll go grocery shopping.

Don't bother.

I'm really busy today.

I'm going back to the office soon.

Fine, just go, all of you.

Just leave me here alone.

I'll be okay.

After you leave,

I'll leave in a little bit.

No one cares about me

and I don't need you to care about me, either.

Get up.

You're not going to help me up?

Honey,

I feel awful.

Honey.

Alright, get in the car.

Be good.

Go to sleep when you get home.

Don't play with your phone anymore.

Alright, Mom. We're leaving.

Wait a minute.

Bring the antibiotics.

He's just pretending to be sick.

He doesn't need medicine.

It's bad enough that he came up

with such a terrible idea.

Just bear with him.

Talk nicely when you go home.

Don't fight.

If anything happens to you two again,

I really won't get involved again.

Got it, Mom.

We're leaving.

Take this.

Also,

don't forget about

our deal.

I remember.

I'm leaving.

Go to bed early.

Drive safe.

I'm leaving.

Drive safe!

Good morning, Mammon.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm running late.

I'm not having breakfast.

I'm going to the supermarket today.

Do you need me to bring you anything?

Yes, pad…

Why don't you go later?

Wait until I come home

and we'll go together.

Okay.

What's this?

Breakfast.

You're too nice.

Thank you.

Best roommate in China.

I'll give you a thumbs up and a “heart” gesture.

Did you bring your phone?

Yes.

What about your name tag?

Yes.

Car key.

Thank you.

Are you still looking for an apartment?

Yes.

I will move out as soon as possible.

Okay.

By the way,

come home earlier.

Let's have dinner together.

It's my duty as the house husband.

Okay,

very reliable.

Bye.

See you tonight.

What did I say?

Is it too abrupt?

Good morning.

Me too.

My boyfriend drove me here.

What a happy couple.

Of course.

Good morning, Counselor Li.

Counselor Li.

Lily.

The elevator is here.

Good morning.

Hold up.

Hold up.

Good morning, Counselor Qin.

Good morning, Counselor Li.

Good morning.

Counselor Qin,

since when did you

have a consumption downgrade?

It's just that your husband lost his job.

You can't even

afford Starbucks now, right?

You mean this coffee?

My husband made it for me.

I told him it was not necessary

but he just made me take it.

Look at that display of affection.

But come to think of it,

when things aren't going well at work for a man,

he would have to contribute more around the house.

Otherwise, the family would really become unstable.

If this goes on,

the marriage won't last.

Counselor Li,

I think you're right.

I already told my husband.

I said

it's okay

to stay home.

We don't need

an annual salary of 1 million.

We're happy to

live on 20 to 30,000 per month.

Work

isn't our whole life.

Am I right?

Earning 20 to 30,000

is the goal of

so many people.

Look at our

legal assistants,

we work so hard and

can't even earn that much.

You're just trying to

make us jealous.

Let me give you a piece of advice,

don't drink too much coffee.

It might cause osteoporosis

and make you over-excited.

Learn from me and drink tea instead.

It will resist free radicals

and prevent wishful thinking.

Counselor Li,

I think you really do need

to drink more tea.

Go for it, drink some more.

Counselor Li, Counselor Qin,

Ms. Tang asked you to attend a meeting

in the conference room on the 11th floor immediately.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

Hello.

Okay.

I'm coming.

Ms. Lan,

don't worry.

You're perfectly safe

in our office.

Come on, take a seat.

Hello.

Mr. Yang, let me tell you,

Zhou is sick. He's in the hospital.

You said there's a risk

with Lowe & Magnolia

and he didn't listen.

He invested all his savings.

He had a history of high blood pressure.

Now he had a stroke

and almost ended up dying.

Zhou,

I'm Yang Hua.

Afro Lady

and the others don't have time.

Therefore, I came to visit you

on their behalf.

Zhou,

don't worry about

that matter anymore.

Money is just a worldly possession.

You're an experienced lawyer.

You've been through a lot in life.

I think you have a better

understanding than me on a lot of things.

Your health is the most important.

Everyone is really concerned about you.

Well, get plenty of rest.

I'll come back to see you again.

They're not concerned about me.

Those people

just want to have a good laugh at me.

Your condition…

It's okay.

I won't die just yet.

You cheapskate,

buy some expensive fruits

if you're here to see me.

No one's going to eat the stuff you bought.

Can you be discharged now?

I can be discharged a long time ago.

You know me.

My eyes are

bigger than my stomach.

I don't know what's

gotten into me this time.

I just wanted to make a big buck.

Since I learned

about the Lowe & Magnolia matter,

at that moment,

it felt like the sky is falling.

But I didn't expect that

my daughter-in-law thought

this wasn't a good idea.

Therefore, she went behind my back

and intercepted the money.

She just invested very little.

That's a good thing.

That's right.

Normally

I don't really like my daughter-in-law.

But at the critical moment,

what I mean is,

that a woman's instinct really comes to play.

They lost over one million!

It's alright.

I can still

handle that.

I can handle that.

Now that I'm sick,

my son and my daughter

take turns caring for me

and staying by my side every day.

They've spent more time

with me than they did in the past year.

I just thought

this money

was well spent.

It's a pretty good deal.

Ms. Lan,

with due respect,

why would you choose.

Honesty & Prudence

to be your attorney?

Mr. Jin,

Ms. Tang,

I think there's no point

lying to you at this time.

In fact, Honesty & Prudence

is the last law firm

we want to cooperate with.

However, we've visited

almost all of the best law firms

in Pujiang

and we were rejected by all of them.

Because they are all representing

the other party who has

a financial dispute with us.

I believe no one knows.

Ms. Lan's character better than you.

Therefore,

Honesty & Prudence is our best choice

so far.
