[Viva Femina]

[Episode 15]

I want to ask

if she can have more time to practice.

This time,

she won't join the art group first.

Madam.

Other parents are trying every method

to come in.

Look at you.

But you even give up

such a rare opportunity.

This is a rare opportunity.

I know that.

But I think

Ni's own will

is also very important.

What did you do earlier?

Yingzhou Art Group

is not a place

you can act without scruple.

Kang Ni is chosen.

This is a joint effort

of the school and all teachers.

Can this be decided without thorough consideration?

As a parent,

you shouldn't let your child

do whatever she wants.

Ms. Zhao. Ms. Zhao.

Honey, take a break.

Have some fruit first.

Honey.

Yushan.

Why are you surprised?

I'm talking to you.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so absent-minded

after a business trip?

Really?

What's wrong with you?

I've never seen you like this before.

Maybe

I've been too busy recently.

Is it because Director Luo

put too much pressure on you?

How about I talk to him?

No.

It has nothing to do with Director Luo.

You know what?

There are so many excellent people

in our department.

Is there something wrong with my mindset?

I feel inferior and not confident?

Why do I always think

I'm not as good as others?

And,

I'm not a social one

like others.

Typically speaking,

you push yourself

too much.

If I were you,

since the paper has been published,

so it can be resigned to its own fate.

How about this, honey?

Take a break.

Take a break.

No, I haven't finished.

Take a rest.

You can't work this long.

Come on.

Have some fruits, okay?

You can't work this long.

Right?

I realize that you're really optimistic.

You can always find a way

to solve the problem.

It's not optimistic.

We can't push ourselves

too much.

We need to learn to adjust it.

Relax.

How about this, honey?

Tomorrow night,

I invite you

to spend a romantic night

with me.

Let's go on a date.

We're been together for a long time.

Why go on a date after getting married?

We have to go on a date after getting married.

To keep the novelty.

Otherwise, after a long time,

we'll get tired of each other

among these trivial matters.

Since we are tired of each other,

we should live our own lives.

Let me tell you.

What you saw before

was

an idle photographer.

I have to show you

what a promising photographer is.

I'm already

a rising star.

Let me show you

[The Visual Art Exhibition of Sang Ruowei's Stage]

[Ballet Half a Dream]

a different me.

What?

Even if I go,

it's for

Ms. Sang's dance.

Listen.

Here's the thing.

Some of the photos

of Ms. Sang's dance

are taken by me.

That's to say.

My photos

are important parts

of her art.

Tomorrow, I'll show you

how much

they respect me now.

To be honest.

My work,

if it's not a masterpiece,

we can say

it is unprecedented.

And no one can surpass it.

Just brag.

You don't believe me?

If you go tomorrow,

I'll show you

the peak of my life.

OK?

It's a deal.

OK.

Tomorrow,

don't stand me up again.

For the sake of your sincere invitation,

I'll think it over.

OK. Come on.

[Xia Ling]

Hello, Xia Ling.

Ziyou.

How's it going with the film cutter?

Is it well?

Every day I turn on my phone,

all I see are anxious messages.

They either urge me to terminate the contract,

or urge me to pay the penalty.

If I can't solve this matter anymore,

I can't take it anymore.

I know, Xia Ling.

I'm in a hurry too, but...

Can you give me some time?

I...

I'll find another way.

I will find a way.

Okay?

What is it?

I'm working.

Can't you tell me over the phone?

Something important.

I'm afraid you would be perfunctory if I call.

I won't be.

I'll only protect you.

I know you have

the contact information of film cutter.

I've told you.

I don't have it.

You have.

I saw you saved

his contact information.

This has nothing to do with you.

Don't make trouble, okay?

It really has something to do with me.

I make her like this.

Now only I can help her.

Only you can help me.

You may be disappointed.

Because I can't

do something

that may

hurt you.

I need to go back for the surgery.

The patient is waiting for me.

Go for the surgery.

It's okay. I'll wait for you.

Three surgeries.

Do you know what time it will be when I'm done?

No matter. I'll wait for you.

Okay, see you at the same place.

But I don't know

when will I finish the work.

So you'll come,

right?

If you come,

you will give me

his contact information,

right?

I have a terrible day today.

So you won't be perfunctory.

OK, I won't.

Hang, let's practice later.

We're waiting for you to eat.

Mom.

Why don't we eat?

Right away.

Right away.

How about a drumstick first?

Here, chicken wings. It's hot.

I'll go take a look.

All right.

Let's eat.

Let's take a break.

Let's eat.

Ms. Zhong, wipe it over there.

Here.

Sausage with chives.

Your favorite.

Ms. Zhong especially cooked it for you.

-Hurry. -Hang, eat more.

My dad is not here.

You don't have to do

meaningless things like this.

I didn't mean

to do this today.

I've tried my best.

I...

But don't worry.

I will find a way later.

I will let you in.

I never expected anything

from you.

But I didn't expect you to be so good.

I was in the first place, but I failed.

Stop pretending to be nice.

I used to hate this kid.

But now,

I only feel sorry for him.

He has a mother like you.

How can he be good in the future?

-How can you... -Don’t judge my mom like that.

You judge my mom.

Why don't you judge your own mom?

Where is your mom?

Enough, stop talking.

You two are all talkative.

Cut it out, both of you.

Your dad will be angry

when he comes back.

Let's eat.

I'm home.

Dad!

Where are you going?

Where are you going when you're eating?

What's wrong, honey?

Dad.

Here.

What's wrong, son?

Dad, brother is glaring at me.

How does he glare at you?

That's it.

Come down now.

Your dad has been tired all day.

He shook his head at you?

Come on, let's eat.

Look at you.

A big dinner today.

I'm really tired today.

Really.

Let's eat.

Hang, let's eat.

Hang.

What happened to the art group?

I was selected,

but then failed because of someone.

What do you mean?

What do you mean by

"failed because of someone"?

Didn't I tell you?

This thing

is very important to me.

I have very important support

in the art group.

If you even can't

do this well,

why do I spend so much money on you

to practice piano?

Don't blame him.

It's my fault.

I don't want you to pretend

to defend me.

What's your attitude

towards her?

Can't you speak properly?

You know nothing.

You only blame me after you come back.

Do you think I don't want to join?

Ask your wife

what has she done.

What's your attitude?

It's not entirely my fault.

What happened?

He played well at first.

Everyone thought he played well,

and gave him a high score.

But then...

It’s all Kang Ziyou’s fault.

I don’t know what rumors she is spreading.

Do you know

who takes his place?

Who?

Kang Ni takes it!

Speaking of it, I'm angry.

I told you before.

Kang Ziyou.

She is unreliable.

She must does it on purpose this time.

She does it on purpose.

Can't you see?

This time, she lets Kang Ni

replace Shen Hang to join the art group.

Next time, isn't she going to

replace you

in Lijia United?

Listen.

You really should

-think about it. -I know.

What should we do now?

What should we do?

You have to solve it.

You must try all means

to let Shen Hang into the art group.

This matter

is really important to me.

Do you know?

Boss, what time do you close?

I'll close

when he comes.

How about I buy you a drink?

You can drink while you wait.

No, thanks.

I can't drink today.

I have something important to discuss.

Dr. Nie, you must be tired.

Just get off work.

Boss, can you play

my favorite music?

OK.

You work so hard.

I don't want to take up

your rest time.

Okay?

Just give

his contact information

to me.

I don't need you to contact.

I'll contact him myself.

-Boss, do you remember... -Okay?

the day when I was very sad,

which wine

did we drink?

When?

Well,

the day a girl I like

came to my house.

Everything went well.

But she suddenly

bowed to me three times.

That night,

Wait.

It was late that night.

But you came out to drink alone.

It was dangerous.

I was in a bad mood.

Came out for a drink.

I'm sorry.

No.

I don't mean that.

I mean, I...

I'm really sorry.

For what?

I shouldn't reject your kindness.

What kindness?

Give me

his contact information first.

As for other things, I...

I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you.

Okay.

How will you make it up to me?

What do you want?

Dance with me.

To be honest,

my physical coordination is poor.

So you won't enjoy

dancing with me.

It's okay. I also don't know how to dance.

We can listen to music together,

and feel the music together.

Maybe we can dance well

like this.

No.

Why do you like this dance?

Like old people in the square.

Really?

Am I wrong?

I like it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Is it hurt?

Are you feel better

when you smile like this?

When I saw you today,

you looked so tense.

Like a bird

in a wind-up alarm clock,

ready to come out

at any moment.

Your brow

was furrowed.

Because this thing

really worries me.

You can't solve this

in such a short time.

Without thorough consideration,

It's easy to get into trouble.

I know

you don't want me to get involved

for my own good.

But I can't.

I'm really responsible

for what happened to Xia Ling.

Of course I understand

it's no good

to offend my old boss.

There will only be disadvantages.

But people can not

only think about themselves, right?

That's too selfish.

Of course.

Even so,

many people still think

I'm a selfish person.

What about you?

Do you think

I'm a selfish person?

Would I

hurt someone

who trusted me?

You are.

You are really selfish.

You are really self-righteous.

You do hurt the people around you.

You are not young anymore.

But you're careless.

And always get into trouble.

You should change your tire, but you didn't.

Then you had a flat tire.

And you asked me to fix it for you.

So I didn't have a car to drive.

I had to ride a shared bike to work.

You gave me your car, okay?

You said you have a spare car.

I'll send it back to you.

I can ride a bike.

But I like it.

You looked ugly when you were drunk.

But I like it.

When the company was in trouble,

you were stupid to be the scapegoat.

But I like it.

When you got a flat tire,

you were awkward squatting on the roadside

and couldn't find a taxi.

But I like it.

Kang Ziyou.

I told you I love you

at that time.

But you bowed three times to me.

You rejected me.

You don't have to be like this.

Take a break.

Let me protect you.

Ziyou.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

I'll be right back.

What are you doing?

The atmosphere.

Do you learn this

from TV?

No.

I'm reenacting

the scenes in my mind

of us together.

It seems something is missing.

Wait for me.

I'll be right back.

Soon.

Almost done.

Right away.

Coming.

What's wrong?

I don't feel well all of a sudden.

I want to go back.

Then don't drink.

We won't drink.

Well,

lie down here.

You're on your period.

I‘ve also prepared ginger syrup for you.

Just for me?

You are not quite like what you said.

It's the first time.

You don't trust me?

This is really my first time.

You're so well prepared.

Like a man

who often takes women

home.

All I prepared

is for you.

So one of these

two toothbrushes

is also for me?

You noticed that.

This girl

came to my house

only two or three times.

But I swear.

Nothing happened

between her and me.

Will you reject me

because of this?

I hate men who lie.

Kang Ziyou.

If you leave again,

it means this girl has come here for the fourth time.

But she really did nothing.

♫The cloud belongs to the sky♫

♫The tree belongs to the ground♫

When you first came to my house,

you used my toothbrush when you were drunk.

Have you forgotten?

♫You're smiling♫

You may review it

by this video.

♫I'm melting♫

You are not sad, aren't you?

♫In your eyes♫

♫There are sparkling stars♫

Look at

what we are now.

♫Flashing through the eternal night♫

Do we look like the two toothbrushes there?

♫Coming to my sunny day♫

You are killing the mood.

♫You are free♫

I don't know.

I've only seen

♫You belong to yourself♫

this scene on TV.

♫I give you my heart♫

I never thought

it would be such an amazing feeling.

♫Because you are what you are♫

I thought

the atmosphere was important.

♫I love you♫

♫I believe you also love me, forever♫

But now I realize

what really matters

is you standing in front of me.

♫It's a long journey but with you♫

♫I can believe♫

♫The cloud belongs to the sky♫

♫The tree belongs to the ground♫

♫You're smiling♫

♫I'm melting♫

♫In your eyes♫

Wait for me.

Are you trying to squeeze me to death?

♫Coming to my sunny day♫

Morning, Ms. Meng.

Morning.

Morning.

Ms. Meng, are you going to work?

Yes.

Ms. Meng.

The crispy lettuce

you made for me last time

was so delicious.

Tell me

if you cook it again.

I want to go for another free meal.

Sure.

But the lettuce

was sent by my friend

from my hometown.

I can make a phone call

and ask him to send more.

I'll call you when I get it.

OK.

Ms. Meng, let's go.

Let's go.

Nini, I'm leaving.

Call me

if you need anything.

Okay. Goodbye, Ms. Meng.

-Bye. -Bye.

I can also cook crispy lettuce.

Really, I'm really good at cooking it.

Ms. Zhao, here.

Madam.

Please have a seat.

I ordered black coffee for you.

One sugar without milk.

I remember you like it the most.

No, thanks.

I'm going back soon.

We'll have a rehearsal later.

Sorry for wasting your time.

I'm really sorry.

Go ahead.

Nothing important.

It's just...

You were there when Shen Hang performed

yesterday, right?

He played well.

But whether he can join the group

was up to the joint decision

made by several teachers.

Yes.

But aren't you the general commander?

Everyone wants

to have more excellent talents in their team.

Besides,

at such a critical moment,

it's always better

to have one more alternative.

I understand what you mean.

However, the number of members

of the art group

is limited.

I can't change it.

I understand.

By the way,

I went to the store to get my bag.

The silk scarf

I ordered on the Haute Couture Week last year has arrived.

I took a look.

I think the color suits you very well.

If you think

this silk scarf

can buy your child

the membership of our group,

you're

looking down on us.

No, Ms. Zhao.

You misunderstood.

I didn't mean that at all.

I just think

you were very satisfied

with Shen Hang's performance yesterday.

I'm so happy.

I just want to thank you.

Besides,

if our art group

needs anything,

you can tell me

or Shen Hang's dad at any time.

We're ready

to make our contributions

at any time.

I know

Mr. Shen.

He is the boss of Chengfeng Group.

Yes.

First of all,

it's not "our" group,

but "my" group.

Second,

Shen Hang's mom,

I hope

you can spend more

time and energy

on your child.

Okay.

I'll go back to rehearse.

Not too much. Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Pingbo No.1 Middle School]

Today, we have a new member

in our group.

Kang Ni.

I hope you can

cooperate with her well in the future.

Let's welcome Kang Ni.

Kang Ni.

Please sit in the piano seat.

Okay.

Let's start

today's rehearsal.

Turkish March.

Stop.

Something is wrong with the piano.

Kang Ni.

Do it alone.

Five, six, seven, go.

Stop.

Don't be nervous.

Relax.

One more time, OK?

OK.

Five, six, seven, go.

Stop, stop, stop.

The rhythm is a bit slow.

Again.

Stop.

What's wrong with you?

Madam, I'm sorry.

I am too nervous.

Performance is teamwork.

If one person makes mistakes,

the whole team won't coordinate.

Just stand aside

and see how others do.

Everyone here

will encounter the same situation.

It's not just your problem.

Don't blame yourself.

Just sit aside.

Let's start over.

Today,

Kang Ni

is in trouble,

but we can't just stand by.

So,

today,

we have to help her get through this.

Ms. Sang.

Zheng.

You're here.

Let me introduce.

This is my wife,

Meng Yushan.

Hello.

In the past,

I only saw you on TV.

Today I meet you here.

You are more elegant

and beautiful than on TV.

Thank you.

These flowers are for you.

Hope you like it.

How do you know

I like swamp mahogany?

I've heard that swamp mahogany

is very resilient.

I was deeply impressed

by your dance.

I felt

a resilient vitality.

So when I saw it at the flower shop,

I thought of you.

I'm so touched.

Zheng, people say

when you want to know a man,

just see what kind of woman

is be with him.

Not only are you talented,

but also have a good taste.

Ms. Sang.

I'm not bluffing,

nor am I praising myself.

I have a really good taste

in choosing a wife.

Other people

are careful enough about finding a wife.

But I...

Ms. Sang, please get ready.

OK.

You two

are my special guests.

May you

enjoy tonight.

Beautiful.

So many people.

Which row are we in?

-Zone A. -Zone A.

This way.

This way. It should be over there.

These two?

Yes.

OK.

It's about to start.

It's starting.

It's starting.

Good evening, everyone.

Before the performance,

I want to tell you

something.

A while ago,

I received

a very precious gift.

I like it

very much.

So,

tonight,

at this special night,

I would like to share it with you.

Zheng.

Come on, get on the stage.

Great! Great!

Do you see

the photos behind me?

These photos

are taken by

the talented

photographer next to me.

Mr. Zheng Qiong.

Great!

Bravo!

Zheng has

his own style in taking photos.

The photos he took

are also unique.

So I can't wait

to introduce him to you.

Zheng,

I'll give you five minutes.

Introduce yourself

and these photos, okay?

Thank you, Ms. Sang.

Okay.

Well,

thank Ms. Sang very much

for

letting me introduce my work

and myself

during such an important performance.

Of course, first of all,

I want to thank Ms. Sang Ruowei.

[Director Luo]

But tonight,

at such an important moment,

I want to

thank another friend of mine

who is

very important for me.

Without her support,

I wouldn't have

hold on till now.

This important friend

is my wife,

Ms. Meng Yushan.

This is...

Where did she go?

Hello, Director.

What is it?

I'm having dinner

with some leaders.

You should come too.

Now?

Now...

Are you busy?

Then forget it.

It's okay.

It's okay. I'll be right there.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Bye.

There is every reason for her

to get divorced.

Xia Ling has always considered herself

as an independent woman.

I want to see

if she will get divorced this time.

Ms. Xia, I support you.

You deserve someone better.

Don't be sad for a man like him.

It's not worth it.

Xia Ling has suffered so much.

This man is so bad.

Shouldn't we talk?

Yes.

I'll talk to you

after I talk to my lawyer.

What's the point?

Now the evidence

is clear.

Do you want to tell me

that you are wronged?

I'll talk to the lawyer

about

our divorce.

Do you think

as long as we get divorced,

you can get rid of all of this?

Right?

How can you think of me like that?

I'm doing this to let the reporters

and the media know

that we've divorced.

So they won't bring you

any more trouble.

But you've already

caused troubles.

Ling,

I know I was wrong this time.

You can slap me on my face.

OK?

Slap me. Come on.

Slap me!

What are you doing? Let go!

I really hate myself.

I hate myself.

You were so depressed

about what happened in the cosmetic medical center.

But I could do nothing.

I felt very upset.

When I went to the bar that day,

I just wanted to drown my sorrows.

But Lin Qianyu, with some others,

framed me in this dirty way.

Ling,

I was really drunk that day.

I lost my memory.

I didn't remember anything.

Stop it. I don't want to hear it.

I know.

It's useless to say anything now.

But I...

I don't want them to see you like that.

So maybe

getting divorced is the only way out.

Stop talking.

I haven't even asked for a divorce.

How will they think of you if you don't divorce?

If I cared about

what they think of me,

I would have had a divorce earlier.

Ling.

We both know

what the truth is.

I will find the evidence

to save you

from this.

Trust me one more time, okay?

Also,

I swear

that from now on,

I won't drink outside anymore.

I will only

drink with you at home.

Honey.

Honey.

Let's have a drink now.

A little.

I'll get the wine.

Wait for me.

Good wine.

Let's get drunk today.

Yes.

Let's eat.

Director.

-I'm here. -Meng, come here.

Let me introduce.

Sit down.

OK.

Mr. Su.

Hello, Mr. Su.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang.

Hello, Yushan.

These are their friends.

Hello.

Meng Yushan.

Yushan, I've heard a lot about you.

I finally meet you today.

But you're late today.

Okay, since I'm late,

I'll drink one cup of wine as punishment.

Here.

A toast to everyone.

Great!

Good! You are really good at drinking.

I apologize to you.

My apology.

A toast to all of you.

You are sincere.

Good.

There's no one drinking only one cup as punishment, right?

Right.

At least three cups.

Three cups.

Three cups.

Okay.

The second toast.

Okay, the second toast.

To everyone.

Good. Good.

Sorry for being late.

This is the last cup.

The third one.

The third one.

I like people like Meng.

She's straightforward.

Nini.

You've been practicing for hours.

You worked so hard. Good girl.

Go take a shower and sleep.

You need to go to school tomorrow.

What do you want?

Don't disturb me.

I'm not disturbing you.

But if you keep practicing,

the neighbors

will come and complain.

I know you're upset and angry.

You can speak to me.

Don't be mad at yourself.

No.

Is it wrong for me to practice now?

You tried so hard

to get me into Yingzhou.

Don't you want

to see such a result?

I didn't try that hard

just to get you into Yingzhou.

Can I have a chance to explain?

I don't want to hear your explanation.

You don't have a word of truth.

Hang,

let me ask you.

What does Mr. Zhao Xu

usually likes?

Does Yingzhou

lack any supplies

or sponsors?

Is any of your classmates

transferred in your class?

How did they get in?

My family

was not this rude before.
