Mom, this braised pork

doesn't look the same as before.

I can tell the cooking time

is perfect just from the color.

Well, eat more then.

Let me try it.

It's delicious.

Mom, he's from

the same college as my superior.

But I think they are archenemies.

My superior

hates me too because of him.

Fei, try the soup Mom made.

It's my specialty.

Mom, you've stewed this

for at least eight hours, right?

Wait, since when

do you have an archenemy?

Why don't I know about it? Who is it?

What archenemy?

It's your birthday today.

Can we change the subject?

We are just colleagues.

Archenemy, what archenemy?

Mom, his archenemy

is named Qin Shi.

Do you know her?

I don't know her.

Fei, have some prawns.

The prawns are really fresh.

Thank you, Mom.

I'm really married?

Qin Shi,

if you can even complete

that task,

what in the world

can't you do?

You're born at the top,

the cream of the crop.

It's so red.

Why are you smiling so awkwardly?

You can smile happily.

How can you do that?

Mammon, look.

What do you think?

Why did you retract your head?

Is it that ugly?

Can we take another photo?

It looks so nice.

Are you asleep?

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

Can I ask you a question?

What did you say when I was

in the utility room this morning?

We can do what?

Counselor Qin,

actually, we can...

You...

Is that the question you want to ask?

But I want to ask something else.

- What question? - May I?

What is it?

This morning, I actually want to say

maybe we can try dating.

Dating?

Mr. Yang Hua,

haven't you read

our agreement thoroughly?

It's clearly written

in the agreement.

Article 4

of Item 3 states that

within the duration of the agreement,

the two parties are just nominal husband and wife

who are only entitled to the appellation rights

in this legal relationship.

In addition,

both parties automatically waive any other obligations

they may have towards one another

emotionally

and materially.

For example,

develop into a real romantic relationship,

perform conjugal duties, etc.

Violators of the said article

shall be prosecuted for criminal

or civil liability and pay

compensation of 5 million

according to the severity of the situation.

Ouch.

Ouch!

Bear with it.

You'll feel better soon.

You just

have a severe case of muscle strain,

you know?

You have bad circulation

and you need to massage it for a while

to relax your muscle.

That's what you were

talking about during the day?

What else?

Be gentle!

How's this?

Thank you.

What else

do you want to know about Qin Shi?

I can tell you everything.

Why didn't you tell me

you two know each other?

Why didn't you tell me

she was your ex-girlfriend?

She wasn't just my ex-girlfriend.

She was once my fiancée.

We dated for seven years

and we broke up.

Why did you break up?

It was all my fault.

My mom really didn't like Qin Shi.

Qin Shi has a severe fear

of marriage.

When did you break up?

Before I went abroad.

That's two years ago.

Counselor Qin has been married for two years

and they have a child.

What's going on here?

Don't you know

she has a son?

Her son is living overseas.

I don't think he's back yet.

Oh, I see.

She's such a two-timer!

She's the worst kind

of two-timers!

I was really blind

to find her outstanding!

She and Yang Hua

are just perfect

for each other!

Forget it.

It's all in the past.

What do you mean forget it?

How can you forget it?

They did such an awful thing to you.

You can take it but I can't.

Tao Junhui, you're my man.

I love you so much.

I can't let anyone bully you.

If they bully you,

they're bullying me.

For people like them,

if God doesn't punish them,

someone will on His behalf!

Why should we let her get by unscathed

and get her promotion?

No, absolutely not!

Don't be upset.

I know I'm your man.

I also know you feel bad for me.

It's fine

as long as we're happy.

We are certainly happy.

But she had gone too far.

I won't let anyone bully you

or let you be wronged.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

My name is Zhao Danping.

I'm the spokesperson of Ms. Lan Xiaoting

and the new CEO

of Magnolia Corp.

The new CEO?

About the issue

of Ms. Lan Xiaoting being suspected

of commercial fraud and illegal fundraising,

first of all,

Ms. Lan did receive

a court summon.

However, Ms. Lan

is not the actual operator of Lowe & Magnolia.

So Ms. Lan is cooperating

with the investigation

not as the defendant

but as a related party.

Ms. Lan Xiaoting

and Mr. Pang Dingfang

are husband and wife.

Mr. Pang Dingfang is currently overseas

and we've lost communication with him.

Ms. Lan wishes

to convey her advice

to Mr. Pang Dingfang through the members

of the media present today.

She wishes Mr. Pang Dingfang

would come back to the country,

bear all the responsibilities,

and fulfill the responsibilities as a corporate administrator

and as a husband.

In the meantime,

Ms. Lan will take on

all of the debts

and actively draw up

a feasible payment plan.

The gentleman in the second row.

Based on my understanding,

assets under Lan Xiaoting's name

can not cover

a debt of two billion RMB.

Is there any guarantee

of her ability to repay the debts?

Are her shares of Magnolia Corp a guarantee?

I can answer that question.

Thank you, Counselor Jin.

You were able to find

someone who's willing

to be my guarantor.

You're welcome, Ms. Lan.

We were just the middleman.

I really appreciate that,

Ms. Tang.

Although Ms. Lan is very sincere

about repaying the debt

and she found a guarantor,

but three years is a long time.

Under such circumstances,

would anyone be willing to accept that?

I think that question

should be worded this way.

Ms. Lan is very sincere about repaying the debts

and she has a famous investment company

as her guarantor.

Would anyone refuse

to accept such terms?

So, you're saying

Honesty & Prudence

will be the guarantor

of Magnolia Corp?

What's this?

The marriage license.

Single people like you

won't recognize it for sure.

I know this is a marriage license.

I just want to know what's going on with the date?

Why was this

dated two days ago?

I thought so too at first.

But Counselor Qin told me the reason.

Qiao,

my marriage certificate

was actually

going through the deregistration process overseas.

If our law firm

needs it urgently,

we might as well

register for another one domestically.

Look at Counselor Qin.

She has

such a resolute and unconventional style.

What...

What are you doing?

Are you checking for counterfeits?

Just take part in the festivity.

If you want one,

go get one yourself.

Qiao Siming,

with your intelligence,

you can't do anything but sit in this office,

tap on the keyboard,

and play with the computer.

You will never make it to the 11th floor.

Why can't I go to the 11th floor?

I can just take an elevator.

Fine.

What's the matter with you?

Thank you so much

for helping me convince Mr. Jiang and the others.

Don't thank me.

I didn't really convince them.

I just helped them

obtain the greatest benefit.

If you're free at lunch,

let me invite you and Fei

to lunch.

I appreciate that.

But I'm preoccupied.

Alright, see you around then.

Sure, sure.

Are you crazy?

Are you a man?

How can you do that to Qin Shi?

Remember,

how I treat Qin Shi is my business.

It has nothing to do with you.

Move.

What happened between you?

Are you alright?

Should I take you to the hospital?

I'm sorry.

I'll pay for the glass.

Counselor Li,

don't scare people in broad daylight,

okay?

Counselor Qin,

is it necessary

to risk so much

for a job?

You lost

simply because

you treated it like a job.

Do you know the 80-20 rule?

The important things only make up a small part.

Although the rest takes up the majority,

it's secondary in comparison.

The same is true in life.

Compared to the achievements I made,

the efforts I've spent are insignificant.

Aren't you afraid you'll miss a step and fall

if you step on an aerial ladder?

I'm not stepping on an aerial ladder.

I'm stepping on other people's incompetence,

fear, and laziness.

They're afraid

to do anything wrong.

They're afraid the boss will know

if they've done something they're not supposed to.

I'm not afraid.

Are you?

By the way,

what's the name of the milk tea

that's really popular lately?

Dark Clouds over Milk Tea.

Okay, that's it.

It's my treat.

Okay.

Do you want one?

Hello, what's up?

Where are you?

I'll come to see you now.

Qianqian,

put this in my office for me.

Okay.

What happened?

How did the glass break?

It was

shattered by that.

It shattered.

Where is your mom?

She didn't come.

Let's talk somewhere else.

Let's go.

What happened to your hand?

It's nothing. I just bumped it accidentally.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

I know my mom really well.

There's no way

she will give up

if she doesn't get her way this time.

The consequences are unthinkable.

Well, let them meet then.

It's just our parents meeting, right?

Let them meet as soon as possible.

You name the time and place.

Are you sure?

I mean,

I know my mom too well.

There's certainly more to it

than a simple dinner together.

Don't underestimate her creativity

and imagination.

As far as physical strength,

she might not be as strong as your mom.

But when it comes to verbal skills,

let me tell you,

the most difficult person in my family is my mom.

Compared to my dad,

my mom is

really something.

You know who I inherited

my bad temper from now.

Genetics is

a very powerful thing.

Do you know who's the enemy

of Chinese language teachers?

It's my dad.

When your mom meets my dad,

it will be like "when a scholar meets a soldier."

The New Forth Army is stationed in Shajiabang.

We can enjoy the shelter they provide.

You often communicate with them.

Your arrangements for them would be excellent.

Bravo. Bravo.

I'll build a seven-star stove,

boil water from the three rivers in a copper pot,

set out the square tables,

and welcome guests all around to the feast.

Everyone who comes is our guest.

I'm tactful in dealing with them.

Smile at everyone you meet.

Forget about them when they leave.

The human relationship

only lasts as long as a cup of tea.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Wonderful!

Please take a seat.

Come on, take a seat.

That was wonderful.

I'm sorry.

Yes, I could never learn that.

Very nice.

Come on, have some water.

I need to work harder next time.

I need to work harder.

I never expected

that Qin Shi's dad

used to be the Leader of the Song and Dance Ensemble.

He used to be a celebrity.

Look at that,

I'm sorry for making

you play a supporting role

for a dabbler like me.

You're too humble.

I've been retired for years.

I've lost my touch. This is just for fun.

I liked Qin Shi

the moment I met her.

Her personality and temperament

really suit my taste.

She's frank

and straightforward.

She says what's on her mind.

Ms. Yu, you flatter her.

I know my own daughter.

She is cheeky and has a bad temper.

I've spoiled her.

From now on, I wish

you would forgive her.

Hurry up.

What's the hurry?

Why are you dressed up like that?

Let me tell you, Qin,

we're going to

discuss the wedding details

with our in-laws.

It's only right for the man's family

to preside over the wedding.

They should pay for it.

I want my daughter to have

whatever everyone else

would ask for.

She should get more

than everyone else gets,

right?

Yes, yes.

When we get there,

don't act like a nitwit

and pretend to be generous.

Got it.

Look, it's serendipitous

that we can gather here.

Let's talk

about the wedding.

Okay, Mr. Qin.

Do you know what I appreciate

the most about Qin Shi?

She's very generous.

She's so nice

to my son Yang.

She didn't ask for cash gifts,

a house, or a diamond ring.

There aren't a lot of girls

who are so competent,

open-minded,

and know how to

seize an opportunity

nowadays.

Yang is so lucky.

Am I right, Yang?

Mrs. Yang,

I don't think

you know Qin Shi

very well.

Since she was a child,

we've been teaching her

that courtesy demands reciprocity

from the start.

If you respect others,

they will respect you.

That's the most basic rule.

The respect we're talking about

isn't money.

It mainly means respect itself.

We won't seek

other people's assets.

But we won't allow anyone

to take advantage of us either.

Am I right?

Our Qin Shi

has been receiving the highest level

of education since her childhood.

She's as good as anyone

in terms of academics, moral character,

and accomplishment.

When other people's daughters

are still

asking their parents for an allowance,

my daughter was already

using her scholarship

to buy gifts

for her dad and I.

When other girls

must save up

to buy

brand-name purses,

my daughter

was already able to buy

a house with her own money.

When it comes to academics,

Yang Hua

is also as good as everyone.

Does he have a job?

It doesn't matter if he has a job.

Being unemployed

doesn't mean he has no income.

Well, does he have money?

Does he have a house or a car?

How does he pay

for his social insurance and housing fund?

There are three levels from low to high.

Which level does he pay for?

Does he get an annual salary or a monthly salary?

How much is his annual or monthly salary?

If they

really get married,

when is Yang Hua

planning to have children?

When their child is born

and Qin Shi

takes her maternity leave,

how are they going to

afford the baby's expenses

and household expenses?

What if

Qin Shi gets sick...

No, I mean

if she doesn't want

to work anymore,

if she's tired

and wants to stay at home

for a while,

who's going to support

the family?

Who's going to take care of my daughter?

Sure,

we didn't make any requirements.

But that doesn't mean

my daughter won't ask for anything.

The important thing is

what you can provide.

Mom, have some tea.

I've made so many efforts

to raise my daughter over the years.

When it's time for her to get married,

a man from nowhere

just wants to take her away without explanation.

I can't accept that.

It took me over 30 years

of effort to diligently

water and cultivate

this flower.

Just when she's blooming,

you want to take her away

just like that?

No one would be

willing to let that go.

Are you all finished?

Let me say something.

Okay.

It is a pleasure to have

Qin Shi as my daughter-in-law.

The wedding party,

in my opinion, should be held.

I think so too.

I agree with you.

Dad,

since we all agree,

it should be easy.

Mrs. Qin,

you see, our family

isn't very well-to-do.

But we will certainly

do our best

when it comes to our son's marriage.

We have a house.

We can also buy a car.

Whatever they like

or need,

we will certainly do our best

to satisfy them,

right?

Don't worry.

Did you see that?

They claim to not have any demands.

In the end,

they want everything.

She said it herself

that she doesn't want a wedding.

Now, we're not just having a wedding

but a classy one at that.

Her mom even complained

that we don't have a house

or a car.

Alright, alright.

Instead of complaining,

you should take the time to reflect.

What they said

was right.

Their daughter is getting married.

Is it wrong

to ask

for a fancy wedding?

It's true that

we don't have a matrimonial house

and a car.

They weren't wrong about that.

The two of them are truly in love.

You shouldn't keep carping,

right?

We have to have a wedding.

I never said we won't.

But her family is in such a hurry.

I have no time to prepare.

We shouldn't let them

ask for it.

We should take the initiative to offer it.

Son,

Discuss it with your mom.

Just tell her what you want

and not want.

- Mom. - What's there to say?

I have a house and a car.

Although Yang Hua doesn't have a job,

he can support himself.

He didn't ask his family

for money.

I'm just getting married

and you just have to make it so extravagant.

Fine, I'll respect you.

But can you

respect me a little?

I just want to have dinner with the family at the ceremony.

I don't want a big event.

Besides, if we do have an extravagant feast,

do you have that many people to invite?

Of course I do.

Your aunts

on your grandma's side

in the rural village,

I have to invite them all.

And the friends

around the neighborhood,

don't I have to invite them?

Let me tell you,

I even have to

invite the one upstairs.

Why do you want to invite her?

Stay out of it, okay?

I'll invite whoever I want!

I'll invite all of those people

who said my daughter

can't get married.

I want to show them all

what a nice family my daughter married into.

- You married the right man! - Mom.

You're getting carried away by vanity.

You just want to satisfy yourself

with my wedding.

Shi,

how can you

talk to your mom like that?

I'm doing this for you won good,

do you understand?

Shi is driving.

Stay out of this!

You're playing

the good cop now.

Let me tell you,

I'm only inviting

so many people

for your pride.

Why didn't you say that

when you had a fight with someone

at the chess and poker club?

I only did that

to save your pride.

You're trying to be the good cop now.

Shi, pull over.

I don't want to sit here anymore.

I'm walking home.

Knock it off.

Knock it off!

Can you pull over?

Fine, I'll stop! I'll stop!

Mom.

Mom,

stop tugging me.

It took so much effort for me

to give birth to and raise you.

That's why I did it, so you can make me angry?

Is that right?

No.

You're getting married anyway.

As a mother,

you will know what

a mother's intentions are

when you have a daughter like you

Geez, Mom.

Alright,

Shi. Shi.

It's okay.

I'll follow her.

Is she alright?

No problem. Alright now.

Go.

Drive safely.

Look at you,

why did you lash out at her?

It's all because you spoiled her!

Although I'm your brother,

I really think her mom

was right.

Take our daughter

for an example.

If she comes home

one day with a man

and said,

"I just want to marry him and I don't want anything else."

I'll whip that guy to death on the spot.

Do you believe me?

That has nothing to do with money.

A beautiful marriage is priceless

but a beautiful wedding

comes with a price.

Think about it,

in this world,

nothing beautiful

comes for free,

right?

All free things in the world

aren't popular.

That's the way people are.

When it comes to men,

they are just

pure bastards.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm hanging up if you don't say anything.

What's your

favorite thing

and least favorite thing in the world?

What do you mean?

Are you drunk?

I used to hate it when my mom

pressures me to get married.

Now, I hate it when my mom

makes me go on blind dates.

I like...

I like...

I don't like that hotel right in front of my house.

Do you know

what I don't like now?

Now,

I don't like Tao Junhui.

I don't like the way he looks at you.

I don't want you to get hurt by him.

I hate him. I want to beat him up.

I beat him up last time.

I almost beat him up last time.

He was lucky.

Qin Shi, Qin Shi,

you're priceless.

There is nothing more beautiful

in the world than you.

I want to give you everything.

What you want and what you don't want,

I want to give you everything.

How much did you drink?

Honey,

we're getting married.

We're getting married.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I will surely give you

the marriage

you want.

Hello?

Hello?

So childish.

Tony,

why isn't my drink here yet?

I'm sorry, Ms. Tang.

I'll go check for you.

Wait a minute.

Who's the one dancing over there?

Why does he look so familiar?

That's Mr. Wu Weisong

from Ximei Public Relations.

Cai Liang.

How much did he drink?

Not much.

Wake up.

Time to wake up.

Your wife is here.

Wake up.

Wife?

Your wife is here.

I don't have a wife.
