[Viva Femina]

[Episode 17]

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Give it to me. Be good.

You can't drink it.

I'm angry now. Give it to me.

I want to drink.

Why are you crying?

I want to drink.

Okay, don't cry.

Don't cry.

Just a little.

Okay, just a little.

Shan,

get me a cup!

Good.

Living a life like drinking alcohol.

For booze, the stronger, the better.

Life won't be interesting if it is too normal.

Whatever happens,

just drink.

♫Oh, my liquor!♫

♫My cool liquor♫

♫My sparkling cup♫

♫Drinking makes me feel cool♫

♫The cup is still sparkling♫

♫Good liquor makes me feel good♫

♫Everything will be fine after I drink♫

Who is it?

Wait a second.

Dad.

What brings you here?

Where is your mother?

She just went out.

Where is your grandma?

She's staying at her house today.

She will not come here today.

Come in.

Can you

keep a secret for me?

What secret?

You…

Lend me some money.

I'll charge 20% interest.

No way.

Why don't you go home?

I...

Wait.

Let me guess.

Did you quarrel with Ms. Meng?

She kicked you out.

You didn't bring money with you

and have no place to stay now.

You can't eat. You can't sleep.

Well.

Dad, I don't want to blame you

but you are an adult.

Running away from home won't solve the problem.

Stop.

I'll give you 30% interest.

Don't tell anyone.

I refuse.

I don't believe

that you will be so generous.

Enough.

You smell terrible now.

Take a shower first.

If your mom

sees me,

she will kill me.

That won't happen.

She's out on a date.

She won't come back so early.

Dad.

Are you going to stay over here?

Don't worry. I'll leave after taking a shower.

Well,

use the towel hanging on the wall.

Don't use my mom's.

Got it?

So,

you came to see me

to ask this?

Yes.

I just want to know

why you left without saying anything the other day.

Now you know.

I have a daughter.

I can't stay out all night.

Yes, I totally understand it.

You totally understand?

Yes, totally.

I thought

you would need to

think about it for a while.

At first,

I was hesitating.

Because I thought...

Thought what?

Nothing.

I was being stupid.

In the future,

can I see you more often?

Sure.

Why not?

Really?

But

I don't have much free time now.

Because I have to

look for a new job.

So if you want to ask me out,

let me know first.

Of course.

It's a good thing.

Not necessarily.

After Xia Ling's incident,

I can only try my luck

in other fields.

It's not just about luck.

With your experience

and expertise,

you will

be appreciated

wherever you go.

That was the reason why

I came to Lijia United

to work for you.

However, in the end,

you left that place first.

Are you free now?

Yes.

Let's take a walk.

I thought you wanted to invite me to your house.

My daughter is at home now.

I know.

Dad.

Ni,

keep it a secret.

Don't tell your mom I was there.

OK?

Give me some.

Tastes great.

Ni,

go get me a cup of water.

Go.

Get me another cup of water.

Well,

why do you want me to get water

whenever there is a horror scene on TV?

I'm already 13.

I'm not a three-year-old.

I'm not afraid of those.

When I was at your age,

I couldn't sleep at night if i had watched those scenes.

I couldn't even sleep at night.

Really.

Now,

your generation are really different from mine.

Let me ask you.

Let's have a chat.

I believe you've grown up.

You

can be very independent.

I also know

you may have

some feelings for someone.

But you need to be clear about

what is just a schoolgirl crush,

what is friendship,

and what is love.

To put it in another way,

you need to know

who truly deserves your love.

But when you

don't know how to do it,

promise me

you must

protect yourself first.

Promise me.

Also,

if you have any secrets,

you must tell me.

Are you done?

Watch TV.

Why did you turn off the TV?

Is it your mom?

Oh no.

I...

Where should I hide?

Why should you hide?

You just ate some fruit.

You are right.

I'm here to eat fruit.

I didn't take a shower.

No, no.

I need to leave.

Hurry up.

Ni, come here.

Tell your mom

that I came here

just to see you.

OK?

Keep it down. Your mother will hear us.

Listen.

If you

blurt this out to anyone,

we will be in big trouble.

Remember?

Yes.

Put the slippers back.

Hey.

What's happening?

It is my wife outside.

It's Ms. Meng, so what?

Don't open the door.

If you open the door,

she would see me and think

that I am living with your mom.

I don't know how to explain it to her.

Then what should we do?

Let me think.

What are you doing?

I just want to have a look.

Let me have a look.

Dad.

My mother is also there now.

Dr. Meng?

Why are you here?

This is my home.

You live downstairs.

You came to the wrong place.

No, this is my house.

Look.

You must be drunk.

Is Zheng Qiong at home?

Let me walk you downstairs.

No, it's okay.

Thank you.

Be careful.

Why did you drink so much?

Zheng Qiong will be back soon.

I'm fine. Thank you.

I'll take you downstairs.

It's okay.

Kang Ni.

What should we do?

She...she...

She wants me to open the door.

She wants me to open the door.

Should I open it or not?

Ni.

Wait a moment.

Don't be nervous.

She's not here.

Kang Ni isn't here.

Don't fall.

Why are you here?

I just…

Oh my god.

-What's wrong, honey? -Why is your wife so drunk?

Don't move. Honey. Honey.

What happened?

Are you okay?

Honey, wake up.

What's wrong?

Why are you here?

I...

I came to see her.

You came to see her?

No, she wasn't there.

Explain everything to me.

I didn't get to see her.

How should I explain?

Just explain to her

why you are here.

I came to see you,

but you weren't there.

It's just that…

Honey.

Honey, listen to me.

Go away. Go away.

Oh no.

You three are one family.

No, no.

Very good.

This...

Come on.

Take a photo.

What photo?

Honey, listen to me.

No need to explain.

Listen to me.

Very good.

Honey, listen to me.

Go and explain

to your wife.

I...

Stop talking to me.

Go and explain

to your wife.

Why was your dad here?

He just took a shower

and had some fruit.

Was he insane?

Why did you take a shower in my house?

They don't have water?

They just got married.

But I feel they are going to divorce.

Shan.

Honey, listen to me.

You misunderstood.

Shan.

Open the door, please.

Honey.

Open the door.

It's late night now.

Stop making noise.

Go home if you want to quarrel.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You forget your key again.

Did you

explain to your wife?

She didn't open the door

so I couldn't explain to her.

What's wrong with you,

Zheng Qiong?

How could she think that we...?

It's possible.

It's because of me.

She took me…

It's a long story.

I don't want to know what happened between you two.

I'm not interested in it at all.

Why are you

so dumb?

It's been more than ten years.

You haven't made any progress at all.

Fine, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Since your wife

cares about it so much,

next time you come to see Kang Ni,

or to do something else,

get your wife's permission first,

Okay?

I come here to see Kang Ni.

I should ask her permission first?

Didn't you see what happened just now?

Are you kidding?

You know what? I am the one

who calls the shots at home.

Let me tell you,

if I am really angry,

I'll...

What the hell?

Your dad...

This...

This is ridiculous.

His wife is also weird.

They are a perfect match.

So annoying.

Let me ask you something serious.

Today,

did Nie Yunze

say anything to you?

Don't be mad at me.

I'm telling you the truth.

When she asked the parents to give comments,

I stood up and said

as long as you are happy

and present yourself well,

the result doesn't matter to me at all.

I was having a quarrel

with your godmother.

I didn't know…

I need to do my homework now.

I'll cook delicious food for you tomorrow.

[Director Luo]

Director.

Meng.

The hospital has made decisions

on your punishment.

Come to the hospital

and end your work.

Okay.

Sorry about what happened yesterday.

I drank too much.

It's okay.

I also get drunk a lot.

I know everything now.

Zheng Qiong just went to see Kang Ni.

He said

he took a shower or something.

I wasn't there at that time.

I know.

Sometimes, things

are not what they look like.

Yesterday,

I was really in a bad mood.

That happens to many of us.

I will drink when I feel down, too.

You don't

look well today.

Try this.

You still have this?

Didn't I tell you?

I get drunk a lot.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Kang Ni also

bothers you a lot.

How about we add each other on our WeChat contacts?

So if there is anything I need to tell you next time,

I can contact you.

Okay.

OK.

If there is anything that you have to tell me,

like something about Kang Ni,

feel free to call me or send me a message.

Thank you.

Okay.

Are you on your way to work?

I'm going to take a job interview.

Job interview?

Aren't you working

in that cosmetic medical center?

I quit that job

and am looking for a new one.

Maybe I should also find a new job.

I'll get off first.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

So awkward.

The professionalism

and expertise

you have shown us really impressed me.

It is a great honor

to work with you.

But I have a question.

With your qualifications,

you can go to bigger and more mature companies.

They would like to hire you, too.

So why did you choose us?

Our company has just been established.

Though you

are a new company,

I do believe

you have huge potential.

And I think

my work experience in the past,

especially my managerial experience

will be of great help

to the development

of the new company.

Getting myself improved with a new company,

I think,

is a great thing.

To my knowledge,

your work experience

is mostly in the medical aesthetics industry.

So I wonder

what drives you

to start a career in a new industry.

By starting a career in a different field,

I can have a new passion

for work.

I can also have

different experience.

I have no more questions.

Ms. Kang,

I have a question.

Is Lijia United

the company that had disputes

with Ms. Xia Ling?

Yes.

But there was nothing wrong

with the services of Lijia United.

The problem

was about its management.

Does it have anything to do with you?

Yes,

it was my mistake.

So I quit my job

at Lijia United.

So the rumour that Lijia United

leaked the client's privacy

is true.

Ms. Kang.

Please wait for our news.

We will give you a reply

as soon as possible.

Okay, thank you.

Director,

I must admit

that I love my job.

In this position,

I have also put in a lot of effort.

But what's wrong is wrong.

I totally understand

the hospital's decision.

And?

Don't worry.

I will hand over all my patients

to my colleagues.

Are you done?

Yes.

Look at you!

You look so pale.

Drank too much last night?

You feel bad.

That's how hard it is to be a doctor.

To be honest,

I've always thought highly

of your abilities at work.

But your recent performance...

You go get some rest

and adjust yourself.

Come back to work as usual tomorrow.

Come back to work?

What?

Haven't you had enough rest?

You're going to take your annual leave together?

Director.

Shouldn't I be fired?

I did ask you to hand over your work,

but I didn't ask you

to give all your work

to others,

right?

I thought...

But according to the rules and regulations,

you should be dismissed.

But don't rejoice too soon.

You will still be

criticized in a circulated notice.

Go back and write a self-criticism report

and give it to me.

Okay.

Also,

don't count on

your performance bonus this month.

No. No.

Thank you, Director.

Go.

Thank you, Director.

Thank you, leaders.

In half a month,

you are about to participate

in the city-level performance.

If you

have a clear understanding

of your ability,

you can tell me in advance

so I can make you leave with dignity.

Don't wait until I find you out.

Who is it?

Don't you know we're rehearsing?

Ms. Zhao.

I'm here for the rehearsal.

Chen Zhe.

Come in.

Kang Ni.

Please give him your spot.

Let Chen Zhe play first.

You'll be the substitute.

OK.

Let's get started.

Wait.

Sorry, Ms. Zhao.

It just occurred to me that

there is a bar that I can't play very well.

Could you

show it to me?

Chen Zhe is already

so good at piano,

but he still has the desire to advance.

Shouldn't we

all

learn more from him?

Well, Ms. Zhao.

The third bar

is a bit...

A little fast.

I want to show you

a more exciting rhythm

so I can get your emotions up.

OK.

Let's do it again.

Ms. Zhao.

I think

the last part was a bit slow.

Slow?

Impossible.

Yes, it is.

Especially in the second bar.

We usually

mistakes there.

It's okay.

Shall we do it again?

One more time.

Chen Zhe.

We are rehearsing.

Be serious.

I'm very serious.

I just ask questions when I don't understand.

Ms. Zhao,

you surely know best

where we usually make mistakes.

You demonstrate.

so that we can learn from you.

If you don't want to practice,

don't make trouble here.

Sorry, I quit.

Goodbye, everyone.

Chen Zhe.

Ms. Zhao.

You don't have

a fly in your band anymore.

Come on.

Chen Zhe.

What were you doing just now?

I quit the music group.

What's wrong?

Why didn't I know you were in the group?

Ms. Zhao forced me.

I didn't want to.

But today you...

Today?

I just want to go in and rehearse

and cheer you on.

But

I heard

about Ms. Zhao

at the door.

And I saw her staring at you.

So,

I changed my strategy on the spot.

But I don't think this is good.

You doing this...

Ms. Zhao will certainly

have opinions about you.

That's even better.

Save her from always thinking about

me joining that art group.

Come on, shoot.

OK.

You can put the pasta in the bowl now.

Then you can start making sauce now.

Remember.

Don't mix the sauce and mayonnaise

together.

You add the mayonnaise at the end.

Wait!

Don't speak so fast.

I can't remember.

Here comes the most important step.

Remember.

Put some mayonnaise

on the pasta.

Stir it into the pasta

when you eat it.

Remember.

Within three minutes.

You have to eat it within three minutes.

It's the best.

Within three minutes?

Does it look okay?

You're home.

Not bad.

Auntie, you're back!

Auntie.

You leave school so early.

Just today.

I think

video teaching is really difficult.

How about I teach you in person next time?

Whatever you want to learn.

Why don't you come to my house.

You...

What did you just call her?

Auntie.

No.

Didn't I have to address her the same as you?

It's a deal then.

See you after work tomorrow.

You don't need to prepare anything.

I'll prepare everything.

I should get back to work.

Bye.

Why did he call you Auntie?

It's also too easy

to bribe me with this.

How can you

use the word "bribe"?

I'm trying very hard to repair

our relationship.

No more delusions.

It's good

that we don't interfere with each other.

I'll help you withdraw from the group.

No.

Do you think

you own the Yingzhou?

You can come and go as you like?

That won't do either.

Why don't you do something

that makes me unhappy

so that we will be even, okay?

Is it so important

to repair your relationship with me?

Of course.

In biology,

you are my daughter.

More importantly,

you are my friend.

You see. Your friend made a mistake.

Can't you give her a chance

so she can correct and reflect on herself?

Emotional abuse

is not good at all.

I'm full of sincerity.

Fine.

I'll give you another chance.

I've figured it out anyway.

Since I can't quit,

I should accept and face this challenge head-on.

My daughter is so amazing.

So we've made up?

Yes, we make up.

Really?

Really.

Pasta.

Pasta!

What?

Auntie. Where did this come from?

I don't know.

What Auntie? I don't know.

You weren't home that day,

and he suddenly came over.

How would I know

how to explain our relationship?

What do you mean you don't know?

Just tell him.

The point is that he suddenly came here.

And I haven't discussed it with you yet.

I'm afraid of causing you trouble.

What trouble?

What you did causes me trouble.

Do you know?

What if he thinks

I asked you to lie to him?

Then what kind of person am I in his eyes?

No.

I think he's a nice guy.

The point is, he's so handsome.

You think so too?

Do you care so much

about his feelings?

Not that much.

Wait?

Are you gossiping with me?

I'm asking you about the Auntie thing.

I don't know.

Anyway, you think about

how to explain to him

that your aunt is actually your daughter.

Then I...

We're even now.

I also did one thing

that made you unhappy.

Consider it your apology

for letting me into Yingzhou.

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Pasta.

No way.

He wouldn't think I did it on purpose, right?

Come in.

The director

asked me to give you a copy.

Meng Yushan, stop pretending.

If it weren't for Director Luo,

who took the punishment for you,

do you think you could still stand here

and say this nonsense

in front of me?

What?

Director Luo took the punishment for me.

Yes.

Because of the

stupid mistake you made,

Director Luo took all the blame

on himself

and took the punishment for you.

Otherwise, do you think

you can stand here like nothing happened?

I don't know

what kind of spell

you put on him.

I haven't finished yet!

What are you doing?

Meng.

Director.

What's up?

I heard.

You took the punishment for me.

Let's talk inside.

Meng.

Have a seat.

Do you want some water?

No, thanks.

This cup

was given to me

by the hospital in 2012.

Though it doesn't look good anymore,

it's still a pity to throw it away.

I'm a nostalgic person.

Just make do with it.

I didn't plan to tell you

about the punishment.

It's not a big deal.

Don't worry about it.

I don't know

how to thank you,

Director.

You've put in a lot of effort

to help me publish my paper

and gave me the first signature.

Now,

you took

such a huge punishment for me.

If you make more mistakes,

the reputation I've accumulated over the past 20 years

won't be able to save you.

Just kidding.

You're busy?

Xu. Come in.

Okay, that's it.

Okay.

Do your best.

Xu.

How is it?

That patient...

It's okay. Don't worry.

I'm counting on you.

Please go downstairs

and check with them.

Okay.

Doctor,

you

really can't

remove this tattoo for me?

Yes.

But we have to use laser treatment.

Considering the tattoo's position is very sensitive,

I suggest you

don't do it.

It'll hurt a lot.

No.

I'll do it no, matter how painful it is.

I can't move on if I don't.

Every night when I'm in the shower,

I look in the mirror,

and this tattoo

reminds me that

that man has betrayed me.

Okay, I understand.

If you really want to remove it,

I'll transfer you to the laser department.

-Okay. -But once is not enough.

You may need to do it a few times.

-OK. OK. -Let me remind you one last time.

It really hurts.

It's okay.

No matter how painful it is,

it's not as painful as being betrayed.

Okay, I got it.

I'll arrange it for you as soon as possible.

Okay, thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

This way, please.

This way, please.

I really don't understand

why a tattoo is needed in a relationship.

Dr. Nie,

you've never been in a relationship, have you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

I do.

So you, too, have a tattoo?

No, I'm afraid of pain.

But I have this.

Matching watch.

He has one too.

Sir, you're looking for the his-and-her watches?

Yes.

For whom?

His-and-her watches.

Who else do you think it will be given to?

There's a difference between couples.

Difference?

Are you giving it to

a new girlfriend

or to a girlfriend

that you can go somewhere with?

We have

different recommendations.

Is the difference in price?

Of course, the price is different.

But the biggest difference

is in design.

Matching watches are more like a promise.

It's one person's feelings

for another person.

Only when two people are connected

can they

live in each other's time.

This is the concept

behind our matching watches.

What kind of character

is this lucky girl?

I can help you choose one

based on her personality.

She is

a little timid.

She's shy.

No, no.

She's not shy.

She is a very capable

woman.

You just said

she's a timid girl.

Yes, but when she

is handling a lot of things,

she is always vigorous and resolute.

But she didn't realize

thwhen she's around people or things she likes,

she will become timid.

Because she's afraid that she'll fall for it.

Please tell me more.

She seems to have many good friends.

But few people

know her well.

She's very capable.

She's a able woman.

But

she doesn't know

what she wants.

It seems that she needs to be loved.

But when the person comes,

she beats around the bush

and plays dumb.

This one.

Real leather belt.

Gilded with rose gold.

It's just its false appearance.

There's a secret behind the core.

The combination of two watches

is a complete heart.

But this heart

is also a false appearance.

Then what is the truth?

You can engrave the truth in the movement.

Only the two of you would know it.

Would he think

Nini and I

are working together to deceive him?

How should I put it?
