[Episode 28]

You're always on that thing.

Buying a bunch of stuff online.

What are you buying now?

I'm just browsing.

Who were you with? You drank so much.

You drank yourself silly.

I was with Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi invited me to drink.

I was pleased

and drank a bit more.

I didn't expect you two to drink together.

Yes.

He brought me

good news today.

His fund

wants to give out part of its shares.

As long as I swallow all of them,

in a month,

he said a month,

I'll see returns.

That's good.

Come.

Wash up and go to bed.

Wait.

Wait. Sit down.

Let me ask you.

Well...

Mr. Chen's

money, is it in yet?

Part of it is.

It's for our daily operations.

They also gave some equipment.

Only after a successful trial run

will they continue

to invest funds.

Listen to me.

Give that amount

to me first.

Give it to me first.

In a month,

I'll return the money to you.

OK?

Then, I'll

buy you the latest equipment.

The latest.

No, it costs money

to operate Lijia United, boss.

So many employees

are waiting to be fed.

I need to pay them.

Pay them?

Just delay paying their salary.

Drag it. Greet the employees and

and tell them their salaries will be delayed.

For just one or two months.

It's not like you won't pay them.

What are you thinking?

What are you thinking?

They have families too and

need to support their families.

They're counting on their salaries too.

Many of our employees

had found a job elsewhere.

They saw that Lijia United

was reopening,

quit their current jobs

and came back.

-I… -I can’t...

I told you.

It's not like you're not giving them the money.

Are they are your relatives?

Who am I?

I'm your husband.

You're not giving me your money

for this emergency but you're

going to pay them.

-Are you... -Besides,

if I make money,

does that mean you make money too?

When the money is in our pocket,

I'll buy you

the latest equipment

and find you the best doctors.

When the time comes,

you can get whatever you want.

Whatever you want.

Alright?

Can you be reasonable?

You're making things difficult for me.

It's impossible.

Will you give it to me?

Will you give it to me?

You really put me in a tough spot.

Do you know that?

I put you in a difficult spot?

Will you give it to me? Will you?

I...

Don't go on a rampage here.

Don't touch me.

Hurry.

Mr. Shen, let's have breakfast.

I'm not eating.

I have something to do at the company.

See you.

Qianyu.

Last night,

I don't know what happened.

I drank too much.

I might have said some harsh things.

Don't take it to heart.

It's okay.

Love you.

Son.

Did I scare you last night?

Did I scare you?

Do you forgive me?

Yes.

Alright, it's late.

You're going to be late. Go.

I'll get Liwen to send you the card number

when I go to the office later.

Transfer the money quickly.

Say goodbye to dad.

Dad, bye.

Good boy.

Eat properly.

Ms. Zhong.

Madam.

Last night,

he kept asking for durian.

Go buy him one.

Okay, I'll buy it now.

Come in.

I need to take Xin

and leave for a while.

Are you coming with us?

Where are you going?

As long as I'm not in this house,

anywhere is fine.

Go with Xin.

I'm not leaving.

But I'm worried

if your dad knows we're gone,

he might...

After all,

he's still my dad.

Don't worry.

He won't do anything to me.

[Sketch book]

Actually, when I was young,

I liked drawing too.

But I'm not good at it.

I didn't draw well,

so I stopped.

Drawing

is the easiest way to show

what's really going on

inside a person's mind.

I can see that

you are quite brave.

You're great.

I hope Xin

can be like you.

Keep these drawings.

When you grow up,

look at them again.

You might feel differently

from what you felt

when drawing them.

Thank you.

Are you really not

coming with us?

Take care of Xin

and yourself.

I'm leaving.

Mom.

Mom.

Is brother coming with us?

Brother...

won't be coming with us this time.

Next time,

OK?

OK.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hey, Qianyu.

Yes honey.

Can you transfer the money

right now?

I'll try my best.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I need your answer to be yes, certainly.

Do you know how important this money is

is to our family?

I...

What's that sound?

Where are you?

Are you going to the gallery

to see that scoundrel?

Xinxin and I are moving out.

Qianyu, listen to me.

I know that you are

in a bad mood now

because you faced some difficulties.

But do you know that

I also face

even bigger difficulties?

You're in charge of a medical center.

I'm in charge of the whole group.

Do you know that?

Say something.

Shen,

don't you think

you've been off recently?

I'm afraid you'll affect the child.

I don't want my son to grow up

and become like you.

Qianyu, listen to me.

I’ve been busy with work recently.

I faced some trouble

so I'm in a bad mood.

I drank outside.

When I got home,

I was inappropriate

verbally.

Please forgive me.

OK, Qianyu?

Just transfer the money and

I promise

from now on,

I won't drink anymore, okay?

I won't drink anymore.

Shen, it's not about the wine.

Do you understand?

Don't you think

you've been scary lately?

You're always out of control.

For my son and me,

you've become dangerous.

Don't you think so?

We can't

stay together anymore.

I plan to take my son

and move out for a while.

Don't look for us for a while.

Let's both calm down.

Mom.

Is that dad?

I want to talk to dad too.

Mom. Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Li Wen.

Come in.

Mr. Shen.

All cards that Lin Qianyu

has under my name.

Terminate them immediately.

Right now.

Okay.

But,

did something happen?

Why are you doing this?

What do you mean why?

Do as I say.

There's no reason.

Are you One Hundred Thousand Whys?

Do it.

Mom.

Xin.

Let's play hide-and-seek

with dad, okay?

Do you know the rules?

We can't let Dad find us.

Yes.

We can't let Dad find us.

So,

for the time being,

we can't contact Dad.

We can't call him.

We can't video call him.

If Dad finds out

where we are,

that means we lost.

But...

what should I do

if I miss him?

Do you want to lose to your dad?

No.

That's it.

Listen to mom.

I'll help you win dad.

OK. Mom is the best.

Ms. Kang.

Ms. Kang.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Buck up.

I've been sitting around all day.

No one is coming.

What are you saying?

We just opened.

It'll be fine soon.

Keep smiling.

Why the long face?

Go now.

Miss.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for

your attending doctor.

We have many doctors here.

May I know who you have booked?

I'm looking for

the best doctor here.

Here's the thing.

If you don't have an appointment,

please fill out a form

and fill in your basic information

and the treatment that you want to do.

No.

I'm not here to do this.

Can't I

meet the attending doctor first?

Well...

Our clinic...

Miss,

here's the thing.

It doesn't matter if you don't have an appointment.

We just need you

to fill in a form

and fill in your particulars

first.

This is

to help the doctor

do an analysis

based on your requirements

and condition.

I heard that

Dr. Nie

can do

restorative surgeries.

Is that true?

Is Ms. Lin around?

Ms. Lin told me

she won't be here these two days.

She told me that if I needed anything,

I should ask you.

Okay, I got it.

If it's convenient for you,

we can take some photos first

and then sit down

to discuss it.

Okay.

This way, please.

Please get the next client.

OK.

Dr. Nie, give me some time.

My situation is special.

Take a look.

We might need to hurry up.

-The next client is coming soon. -Okay.

This is a typical case of surgery failure.

Look.

She has hyperplasia

at the ends of her eyes.

This client is Niu Xiaona.

Two years ago,

she had a traffic accident.

For aesthetic reasons, she chose to

suture her wounds via plastic surgery.

But it failed.

She didn't recover well.

She saw online that

we are best at

plastic surgery restoration.

So she wanted to give us a try.

I didn't expect to encounter

such a tricky problem

on the first day of reopening.

Besides,

her hyperplasia

is different from Wanli's.

Yes.

I'm worried that she's prone to scarring.

She came to us

because she trusts us.

But I really

didn't dare to promise her.

So I wanted to

discuss this with you first.

Yes, I understand.

I'll see her

before we make a decision.

Okay, I'll arrange it.

Okay.

Ms. Niu,

I've taken a look at your situation.

Your skin

is too sensitive.

Yes.

I've always had severely sensitive skin.

When my fingers hit my face,

it will be flushed for a long time.

When I have wounds on my body,

they take longer to heal too.

Yes.

Your skin...

It's not easy to operate on it.

Post-surgery hyperplasia is hard to avoid.

That's why after I got hurt,

I followed the doctor's advice,

and got a plastic surgeon

to do the restorative surgery.

That surgery is much more expensive

than normal surgery.

But the doctor promised me

he could do it.

But after that,

it just became worse and worse.

Worse than before, even.

I feel like I'm going to be disfigured.

I haven't done anything for the past two years.

I've been running around

for this scar every day.

I've used a lot of medicine.

I went to every hospital I could go to.

They all said they can't do it.

I can't see anyone now.

I lost contact

with all my friends.

All I hope is for

this scar

to not be so big and ugly

so I can take off these sunglasses.

Please help me.

I did a lot of research

before finding out that your clinic

is good at restoration.

Calm down.

Calm down.

I have understood your situation.

Don't worry.

I will have a meeting

with my team.

I'll ask you to come back for a review

when we have a clear treatment plan.

Okay.

Thank you, doctor.

Goodbye.

Listen.

They said it's a group consultation,

but it's just a formality.

Ms. Kang wants to make her boyfriend famous.

We'll just do

as she wants.

Okay, later.

Okay.

Dr. Xie.

But this patient's case

is not very likely to succeed.

If it's done well,

it's a great achievement.

But what if it fails?

Lijia United

which just opened,

will be in trouble again.

This is not for us

to think about.

Haven't you figured it out?

Now, at Lijia United,

only Ms. Kang and Dr. Nie

are running the show.

The capital

is also about the two of them.

Lijia United

is just a shell.

Why are you still thinking about

Lijia United?

That's Niu Xiaona's

situation.

As you all know,

this operation

is actually very difficult.

So today,

I gathered everyone here

to do a group consultation

and listen to your opinions.

For us,

this operation

is indeed very difficult.

And it's risky.

Other hospitals dare not do it.

They have their reasons.

I think Lijia United

has the responsibility to help every patient.

Niu Xiaona's surgery

is indeed very difficult.

But it shouldn't be

a reason to reject her.

In that case,

I think

only Dr. Nie

can do this job.

I think so too.

When Dr. Nie

was abroad,

he already had a successful precedent

in an operation like this.

In terms of experience,

it's really hard for us

to give you

much help.

So I think, for this meeting...

How about

the two of us

stay out of the discussion

in case we affect Dr. Nie.

Yes.

How could you affect him?

Dr. Song, you're too modest.

Dr. Nie,

what do you think?

Lijia United

is a team,

not a one-man show.

As you all know,

in every case,

different things can happen.

Past experience

might not be applicable now.

So we need all of you

to help, based on

your areas of expertise.

So, my suggestion is

for Dr. Song to be the lead surgeon.

I'll help.

After all,

Dr. Song,

you're the sensitive skin expert.

Niu Xiaona's case

is obviously

a sensitive skin case,

not restorative.

Well,

we all know

this case

is a hot potato.

If

we can't do it well,

others will have something on us.

Besides Dr. Nie,

who else

is confident?

Yes.

Also, in my opinion,

whether

in terms of experience

or technique,

it's really hard for me to handle.

Dr. Nie,

please don't refuse.

I'm not refusing.

I'm just thinking about

what is best

for Niu Xiaona

and us.

Niu Xiaona's case

is indeed tricky.

So just now,

everyone also expressed their own ideas

from their own perspective.

Ms. Lin is not here either.

I think

we should go back and think about it.

So, today,

we won't make a final decision.

-Okay. -Dismiss.

Okay.

Can you tell me why?

I just said it.

Well. I think

we are a team.

We are a team.

All the nurses, doctors,

salesmen,

and staff

from other departments.

I think we are

still a relatively united team.

Yes.

We are

a united team.

So I don't think

I should be the only one pushed forward.

I should also give some resources

to other doctors.

Push you forward?

Where did you get that idea from?

Before the meeting,

I heard other doctors say

Lijia United

is held by the two of us now.

You're giving me Niu Xiaona's case

because you want to boost my popularity.

If the surgery were successful,

I would be famous.

If it failed,

Lijia United would take the blame.

You know

that's not the truth.

I know it's not true,

but I don't know

how to explain it to them.

So you're refusing

to operate on Niu Xiaona?

I'm not saying no.

I don't want anyone to misunderstand you

because of Niu Xiaona's surgery.

They don't know

what you gave to Lijia United.

But I know.

That's enough for me.

I know you want to protect me.

But at this moment,

isn't it more important

that we operate on Niu Xiaona

and get her back on track with her life?

As for

other people's

thoughts and opinions,

I think they're temporary.

To help those

who really need our help,

isn't that

what we always wanted to do?

Hello.

You...

How can you

still be on leave today?

What did you say?

Ziyou.

Auntie Ziyou.

Xinxin.

What...

What's going on?

I...

want to move out for a while.

But Shen Chengfeng has my card suspended.

So you're running away from home

with your child?

Yes and no.

We just want to

separate fro a while

so we can calm down.

Did he

hit you again?

No, no, no.

How much money do you have now?

Lend me some.

Being able to cover our food and rent

for the time being will be enough.

I'll pay you back

after I deal with my problems

with interest.

Look at your bags and luggage.

"The time being"

won't just be three to five days, right?

Do you know how much

this hotel costs per night?

Shouldn't you

be saving money right now?

Princess Lin.

My kid is with me.

Don't play the kid card.

I know you well.

Xinxin.

Come. Come with me.

Where are you going?

Is that all?

Yes.

There's another box

that was organized by the home organizer.

He will send it tomorrow.

Miss Lin,

how can you have

so many things?

These are not all.

I only took a small part

of the daily necessities.

Isn't it because

your house is too small?

I kindly took you in,

and you're complaining that my house is small?

You're really something.

Alright.

Hurry up and unpack.

I don't even know

when it'll be done.

Mom.

Where should I sleep?

You...

Xin.

Why don't you sleep in

your sister Kang Ni's room with your mom?

Kang Ni.

Can you share a room with me?

I object.

I don't want to sleep with you.

And I need to do my homework.

I need to have my own space.

I object too.

I'm a man.

I need my own space too.

What own space?

You haven't reached puberty yet.

And you think you're a man now.

Your own place?

You tell me.

There are only two rooms.

How are we going to assign them?

I'll sleep in my tent.

What?

Fine.

I'll help you set up

your tent.

Can he sleep in it?

How can he sleep in a tent?

Let me set it up for you.

Yes, he can.

No.

How can he sleep in a tent?

When he was little,

he always slept in it at home.

He loves sleeping in the tent.

Really?

Set it up for him.

Just give him a cushion.

Okay.

Kang Ni, take your brother to play.

Don't stay here.

We're unpacking.

Go play in your room.

Here.

He can really sleep in the tent?

Yes.

He's been sleeping in it since childhood.

Then you sleep with me?

That's so inappropriate.

I take my son to live with you,

and I occupy your bed?

Besides,

I can't sleep well with others.

Do you think

I'll sleep well with others?

I was afraid you would fart and hiccup

and wake me up.

No.

The most I'll grind my teeth.

Well...

Sofa?

OK. Sofa is good.

I can sleep on the sofa.

Fine.

If you want to be alone,

the sofa is quite comfortable.

I often sleep on it too.

OK.

I'll bring you a cushion

and some comforters.

OK.

Qi Yue, are you full?

I'll clean it up.

Leave it.

You cooked all these dishes.

How can I ask you to clean it up?

Your division of work is quite clear.

Of course.

I won't take advantage of others.

When I went out

with my ex-boyfriend,

we always split the bill.

It's good.

Then why did you two break up?

I just don't like him anymore

and can't see a future with him.

An unreliable relationship.

Why do I have to keep it?

Qi Yue, let me ask you.

What kind of relationship do you think

is reliable?

I think you are quite reliable.

Me?

Why?

Because you make people

feel at ease and comfortable

and make them think they can go somewhere with you.

No way.

You just say that because we're friends.

I'm serious.

What kind of person

will make you want to date him

and be with him?

I'll have a place

in his future.

He has a complete plan

for our future.

I think this is a reliable relationship.

You asked me these questions.

Did you have a fight

with Sister Ziyou?

She thinks you're unreliable?

There's nothing between us.

I was just thinking

about what I should do

to make our relationship

better.

Well,

take her to meet your parents.

That way, girls will feel safe.

But Ziyou

is quite cautious about her relationship.

I don't know if it's the right time

to let her meet my parents.

You mean...

Ms. Sang

hasn't met Sister Ziyou?

Yes.

She did.

But...

Well...

My mom doesn't know

we're dating.

No way.

At least

let them have a dinner together.

In this way, she will think

you're taking her seriously.

Really?

Let me ask her

what she thinks.

Because...

Ms. Sang.

Ze is in a relationship.

Qi Yue.

I thought

you didn't want to sleep with me.

No.

Your sofa is too hard

and short.

I let Xinxin sleep on it.

When I first moved here,

I slept on that sofa for two months.

I feel so comfortable.

Why is it so hard for you?

Are you the princess in that fairy tale?

Good.

Then you sleep on the sofa, and I sleep on the bed.

Let's switch.

Why?

This is my home and my bed.

It's up to you.

The bed is better.

Can you sleep?

We can have a small chat.

Sister,

I ran away from home

and didn't find a house.

And Xin is with me.

It's all killing me.

Please let me off.

I need my sleep.

Why are you laughing?

Are you gloating?

Welcome to

to our world.

You should be grateful.

You still have me to rely on.

Be good to me in the future.

Okay.

Wait for the day

when I rise again.

I'll send you a silk banner.

You have to thank me.

Not only did I take care of you,

but also the company.

There is a case these days,

and we don't know if we should take it or not.

We can't decide.

And when we wanted to discuss it,

you were not here.

Does my opinion matter?

Don't you always

act on your own?

Besides,

according to the investment ratio,

I don't have a voice like you do.

Lin Qianyu.

Stop your sarcasm.

That is not acting on my own.

Back then,

you were not yourself.

You were Mrs. Shen.

You have no opinion

or attitude of your own.

I mean,

you impressed me.

I thought

you would

put up with it

and live like this.

But I didn't expect

you'd be so decisive this time.

You are more brave

than I thought.

Let me tell you.

Actually,

it doesn't matter

how I am.

I just think Xin

is now more and more

influenced by his dad.

Especially his emotions.

So I thought

I should take Xin with me

and find a place

where

Shen Chengfeng can't find us

to hide for a while.

You can't just avoid

Shen Chengfeng forever.

Let's hide for now.

Besides, I took

a lot of bags

and jewelry from home.

I thought

they would be worth a lot

if I sold them at the consignment store.

At least it can survive us for a while.

Right?

That's not what I meant.

I mean your life.

You can't hide forever.

You have to go to work.

Xin has to go to school too.

Just for now.

As long as I can.

Have you ever

seriously considered divorce?

They all say they won't ask people to break up.

No one is so mean

that they will always persuade others to divorce.

But

I know

what your life is like.

Particularly since

he has already struck you.

You know

once a wife-beater

always a wife-beater.

Once he starts,

he won't stop.

Don't expect anything

from him.

You think I haven't thought about it?

I believe

that something like this

has happened to

more than just me.

Then how come everyone

doesn't choose to divorce

in the first place?

It's all because of the children.

Anyway,

Shen Chengfeng and Xin

are very close.

I have no illusions

about Shen Chengfeng anymore.

But Xin,

I don't think he's ready.

So I'm really not sure

whether the divorce

is a

good decision

for Xin.

Take your time.

You're already doing great.

As long as he starts to change.

Stop thinking about it.

Go to sleep.

You must be tired today.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For everything.

Good night.

Good night.

I have done packing.

You're done, Dad.

I don't have a lot of stuff.

Have some water.

No.

I've called a taxi.

It'll be here soon.

There's still a while.

Have some.

Why did you call a cab?

I told you,

Zheng Qiong and I would send you.

You're busy.

Zheng Qiong is busy too.

And I have nothing to do.

I have plenty of time.

After your Uncle Zhao has gone,

I'll be more free.

Then stay.

Why do you have to leave?

I'll go back to our hometown first.

I'll come back

after I take care of everything.

OK.

Actually, my daughter

looks better in red.

Really?

I also think

I look good in red.

So,

when I was 16,

I was thrifty

for six months

and bought a red sweater.

But you didn't allow me to wear it.

You said

I'm a girl,

so why do I

need to look so flamboyant.

And you knew

the school said

we don't have to wear school uniforms.

Because of this,

you got mad at me.

You even hit me.

I'm really not a good father.

I'm so stubborn

and used to have a bad temper.

I was always angry.

Take care of my daughter...

I don't know how.

I really don't know how.

You're not cut out to be

both a father

a mother.

But I know

you love me in your way.

Actually,

I'm really like you.

Of course.

You are my daughter.

You're my only daughter.

You should be like me.

Zheng Qiong is here.

Zheng Qiong.

Didn't I tell you

not to see me off?

Yet you still come.

Let us see you off.

Okay, let's go.

The car should be here.

Zheng Qiong, come and get it.

You help him with his luggage.

Did you call a taxi?

Yes.

He called himself.

You guys are busy.

You don't have to go to the station for me.

There could be a traffic jam.

Zheng,

take good care of Shan.

During this time,

I think he's not bad.

Shan,

live your life.

No one is perfect.

You just said

that we are not perfect either.

Right?

In the future,

the three of us

would be perfect together.

I'm leaving.

But Dad,

let me send you.

Go back.

Go back. No need.

-Bye. -Dad, take care.

Call me when you get home.

Zheng Qiong,

do you want to hear me explain?

What do you want to explain to me?

You want to explain

your relationship with me

or

your relationship with Director Luo.

I know you don't trust me now.

But you can judge for yourself

what I say next.

Have you heard of mental control?

When I was young,

I was influenced by my father.

No matter what I do,

I must obey.

Obedience for the sake of obedience.

When I grew up and went to work,

I met Director Luo.

I still obeyed.

Until later,

I found out that

my mind seemed to be controlled

by Director Luo.
