[Viva Femina]

[Episode 29]

When I met Director Luo again,

I still obeyed him.

Later,

I found out

I was probably

under his mind control.

But

Director Luo told me

you once seduced him.

Do you remember that night?

I called you and asked you to go home.

Go home.

That night,

Director Luo tried

to do bad things to me.

Why didn't you tell me

all the things that had happened to you?

You trusted me unconditionally.

Your love for me

made me

more and more anxious.

I felt I didn't deserve your love.

So

I tried to avoid you.

I didn't want to face you.

And I didn't know how to tell you about it.

I'm a little confused now.

Am I in love with

someone imagined by myself?

Or is my knowledge of you

completely wrong?

These days,

I feel like you are a different person.

You're far away from me.

When I met you for the first time,

you were not like this.

When you met for the first time,

what kind of person

did you think I am?

Shan.

He's already there.

He said he didn't see you there.

What's the matter with you?

Why didn't you go there?

Dad.

I've told you

many times.

I don't want to

consider it now.

I just want to focus on my job.

What job?

He is the son

of my friend.

He is a very reliable man.

I promised you would go see him.

You're making me

very embarrassed.

Dad,

since I was a little kid,

I've been obedient to you.

But now I've grown up.

Can you let me make my own decisions

about my life?

Your own decisions?

Let me tell you,

I've made another appointment for you next week.

You have to go this time.

Dad!

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

I'm a professional photographer.

Well,

I just think

you

looked great

in the scenery around you just now.

It's okay if you

don't want me to keep those photos.

I can just

delete all of them at once.

What's your name?

My name is Zheng Qiong.

I'm Meng Yushan.

Let me see those photos.

Am I just

a random guy

you chose to be married to?

All these years,

I've been doing things

according to

my plan.

To get married

is also part of the plan.

For that plan,

you were the perfect candidate.

You are a nice guy.

You will never push me.

You know how to please my dad.

Meanwhile,

you allow me to put all my energy

into my work and career.

If you think

you were

randomly chosen by me,

now,

I'll return you a favor.

You decide whether you will

spend the rest of your life with me.

Enough, you look so beautiful.

You're the most beautiful.

The most beautiful?

Why does Ms. Sang

want to

have a meal with us today?

Why am I so nervous?

Really?

Has Ms. Sang already

found out that we're dating?

Really?

Why didn't you

tell me in advance?

Did you tell her about us?

No, not me.

It was Qi Yue. She went to see

my mom once and I happened to be there.

So we three

had a meal together.

Qi Yue.

You three had a meal.

I think Qi Yue

has a good relationship

with you and your family.

She and my mom are very close friends.

But I

see her

as a casual friend.

Fine.

I don't want to interrogate you today.

I'm just nervous for no reason.

What are we doing this for?

Am I going to officially visit your parent?

No, I don't think so.

You...

Don't be so nervous.

You...

You are familiar with my mom.

Think of this

as having a meal with your friends.

It's not about officially meeting my mom.

Oh my…

You're right.

I am quite familiar with Ms. Sang.

We are just

going to meet a friend.

Make sure nothing will

go wrong with this meal.

Anyway,

I have to see Niu Xiaona this afternoon.

Really?

That's great.

I can give you a ride after the meal.

I can

know more about her.

But I think

it's better

that I just meet her alone.

Because for this surgery

she still

has to

take the most risks.

Because she and I

are both women,

probably I can

get to know about

her real thoughts more easily.

I understand.

No problem.

Let me tell you,

today,

I'm really happy.

That day,

at the photograph studio,

I just felt

something was happening between you two.

Look.

I was right.

On the way here,

Kang Ziyou was very anxious.

No.

Not at all.

Right, Mom, she wasn't.

She wasn't anxious.

I wasn't.

What were you anxious about?

Were you afraid that I wouldn't agree?

Let me tell you,

I'm so happy for you two.

But Kang, I need to remind you

that Ze

has never been in a relationship before.

He may

have many problems

in this romantic relationship.

Look.

You're older than him.

If

he makes you angry in the future,

please be tolerant of him.

Okay?

Mom, what are you talking about?

What do you mean?

I'm not a kid anymore.

Ms. Sang.

He didn't do anything

that made me angry.

I think dating him

is so much fun.

Look how nice my girlfriend is.

She's very interesting.

Because he's never been in a relationship before,

he isn't a man

that is over sophisticated.

His being childish, impulsive

and capricious

makes my life

more interesting.

I can understand that.

Actually,

many years ago,

I had a boyfriend

who was much younger than me.

He

was quite immature

in his life.

But

I think

every day

when I was with him,

I felt very energetic

and happy.

Mom,

I remember

that wasn't a long time ago.

I feel our meeting has become an occasion

where you two best friends share

how to get along with your little boyfriends.

So,

when we two women are talking,

you should keep silent.

Okay.

But he and I

broke up

very soon.

When we broke up,

I felt

a little sad.

But I've thought about it.

This is the reality

that I would have to face

when I wanted to date a man

much younger than me.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as

we were happy

when we were together,

we didn't have to worry about the future.

No.

It's not about facing the reality.

Everyone

faces different situations.

I am different from you.

When I'm in a relationship,

I believe I'll get married eventually.

The dishes are getting cold.

Let's eat.

Okay.

Right.

I think

it was inappropriate for you

to talk about getting married at that time.

You have no idea

what she's thinking.

What you said

would give her a lot of pressure.

But I think the purpose

of having a relationship

is to get married.

Dating and getting married

are different.

Are you really

an idiot?

I know.

I believe

Ziyou knows

what I want.

Let me tell you,

I'm not worried about her,

but you.

Why should you worry about me?

You have to be cautious

about anything related to marriage.

Shouldn't we all

be sincere in a relationship?

I...

I don't understand what you are saying.

In a relationship,

you will make mistakes

when you get impetuous.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Ziyou

has much more experiences

of being in a romantic relationship than you.

You think she only belongs to you,

but she won't

think in the same way.

Understand?

No.

I don't believe

she's that kind of person.

Fine, whatever.

Why do you

have to see me again

if you want to refuse my request?

Right.

If I am going to refuse you,

why bother to see you here?

I just want to

discuss it further with you.

Because...

To be honest, your surgery

is highly risky.

I know.

Otherwise, I wouldn't come to you.

So,

can you accept the possibility

that it will fail?

No.

My surgery

must be successful.

Ms. Niu, here's the thing.

I understand how you feel.

But in your case,

no hospitals

or doctors

can guarantee

that this surgery

will be certainly successful.

This is a real problem.

It's okay.

We can discuss it.

What would you like to drink?

Coffee or juice?

Do you understand?

When I wear my sunglasses,

people think I am blind.

After I take off my sunglasses,

people think I'm a monster.

If this surgery fails again,

I don't think

I should live in the world.

Don't think like that.

Whatever happens,

we should

be optimistic.

Right?

Optimistic?

You are one of the normal people.

You can be optimistic.

What I do every day

is to

try my best

not to kill myself.

Calm down. Take it easy.

Actually,

you probably do not know

I like to wear make-up a lot.

Ms. Niu, our hospital

has a lot of confidence

in the surgery.

Thank you.

Actually, I came to see you

because I think you're very nice.

I want to thank you in person.

I also want to tell you

I don't need it anymore.

You are right.

We

should be optimistic.

After all, no one can guarantee

the surgery will be a success.

Thank you.

Bye.

Mom.

Times have changed.

You have to embrace new ideas.

Right?

Hello, madam.

Please wait a moment.

Mom.

Is this our new home?

Yes.

Go in.

Put them here.

What are you talking about?

We said

Qianyu has a good husband

who bought her jewelry,

products of top brands,

and even gave her

a medical aesthetics center.

Hello, everyone.

Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen.

I baked some cookies

for you.

Let me help you.

I told you

not to bring gifts.

Don't bring gifts.

I'm glad you're all here.

Look at these people.

They didn't bring any gifts.

If it's convenient for you,

come to my house with your child more often.

Okay.

It's my first time

that I see you with your husband.

Normally, I only see you alone.

What's wrong?

Are you still

worried about Niu Xiaona?

Is it because

she has found another hospital

for the surgery

and doesn't want to tell us about it?

Or

did she just give up?

Everyone

makes their own choices.

There are so many people in the world.

You don't have to worry about everyone.

You are not able to do it, either.

Right?

Just relax.

What is this?

It's for the dance drama, Cherry Garden.

Really?

Great.

[The Annual Drama Competition]

When are we going for it?

Tonight.

Let's go together after work.

Okay.

You finish your work.

Dr. Nie,

after that meal,

did Ms. Sang

talk to you about something?

My mom didn't say anything special.

She just told me

I didn't really understand

what you want.

She said talking about

the marriage stuff with you

will give you too much pressure.

But I don't agree with her.

Because you know

what I mean.

So what do you mean

exactly?

I just want to be with you forever.

Only kids

talk about forever.

Really?

What about you?

I care about

whether I'm happy

when I'm with you every day.

You are so good at it.

So can you be better than me?

What else did she say?

Nothing.

That's all.

I'll go back to work.

See you tonight.

Okay.

I've checked the time.

Even if we go right now,

we will still be late.

Because there's a traffic jam.

We can't have supper.

Let's eat some snacks first.

But why did you buy so many snacks?

I stored them.

Are you a hamster?

What do you mean by hamster?

This is a good habit.

You know.

Maybe it's because

I always feel insecure.

I like storing things at home.

So when emergency happens

like the earthquake, typhoon,

power outage and the cut off the water supply,

my daughter and I

can use them for half a month.

Wow.

It's so hot.

Here.

Is it okay?

It smells good.

It'll taste delicious.

Do you want this one or that one?

This one.

This?

Is it good?

Yes.

It's hot.

Hurry up and eat. It's hot.

Here you are.

Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Mr. Chen.

What brings you here?

There's a party tonight.

Some people told me

some friends from the media will go there.

I think

you two can go there with me.

Tonight?

So sudden.

Yes, a little.

I decided to go just now.

Our center has just started to operate

and do not have many clients.

If we can know some friends from the media,

they may help us

advertise our hospital.

Okay.

I'll drive.

I'll wait for you outside.

We can drive our own car.

Okay.

I'll send you the address later.

See you later.

See you.

We can't make it to the show.

We have no choice.

Work comes first.

Stop eating.

Maybe there will be something good for us later.

Why are you still eating it?

I don't want to waste it.

And it's delicious.

Are you mad at me?

No.

Thank you.

For me, I think

medical aesthetics and psychology

are equally important.

Because I've seen

too many of these people.

Some of them obsess over perfection too much.

And some others

go to extremes

after a botched surgery.

So I think that

the future development of this industry

has to be such that medical aesthetics

and psychology go hand in hand.

The psychological intervention department

will become

an indispensable part of this industry.

You're right.

That makes sense.

Come on.

Here.

Miss Kang's idea

is so right.

Yes.

Here.

Dr. Nie.

You like to play it?

I'm just bored.

Me too.

Have a match?

Okay.

Come on.

I'll serve.

Serve.

I heard that

Ms. Kang helped you

solve your certificate crisis.

Yes.

Ms. Kang

is always reassuring.

Mr. Chen chose the right person.

You have

so many options

but still chose to be with Ms. Kang.

It seems you

also value Ms. Kang very much.

Besides

being very capable,

she is also very popular.

So everyone likes

working with her.

Yes.

Ms. Kang is really charming.

But why do I feel

she always keeps others at a distance?

Because my company

is like a big family.

I like everyone talking about everything.

But I always feel that

Ms. Kang keeps

an appropriate distance from everyone.

Ms. Kang likes to have her own space

so that she can live her own life.

Work is work.

Life is life.

She won't get close to her boss

because of a job or salary.

It seems you

know Ms. Kang well.

I also want to keep in touch with Ms. Kang

in private more often

so I can get to know

her in real life.

Scored!

Do you still want to play?

We're tied now.

There's no winner yet.

OK.

I'm like

a 12th-grade teacher meeting students

three days before their college entrance exam.

I was chased by their questions.

I didn't even

have time to drink water.

This is a good thing.

It means our Ms. Kang

has become more influential

in the industry.

What influence

do I have?

But their curiosity

is really big.

They kept asking me

why I wanted to reopen Lijia United.

What did you say?

Tell them the truth.

Lijia United

is a good brand.

Right?

Plus, personally,

I have feelings for it.

They won't believe me.

They insisted that it is Mr. Chen

who wants to use Lijia United

as a springboard

to acquire Shen Chengfeng's group.

Then you tell me,

why does Mr. Chen

want to reopen Lijia United?

Is he really

interested

in Shen Chengfeng's group?

I don't think so.

If he had such an idea,

he would have struck

during the Xia Ling matter,

right?

Why did he wait until now?

He's doing this purely out of

his appreciation

for my ability

and experience in this industry.

So,

I can help him

enter the medical aesthetics industry without obstacles.

Mr. Chen is also a single father.

He's handsome, successful,

and has a good personality.

Tell me,

why is he still single?

How would

I know?

Maybe he hasn't met the one

he thinks is suitable for him.

Or

he met someone

he thinks is good.

But sorry, she

has already

been taken.

Really?

What else?

Maybe.

Your stomach is growling.

You didn't eat anything?

I really hate that kind of occasion.

The food isn't good either.

Let's have some midnight snacks together.

No, it's too late now.

You have to go back to take care of Nini.

I'll go home and make some myself.

I just think it's a pity.

Those two tickets.

Alright.

Stop nagging.

I know.

I'll make it up to you tomorrow, okay?

Okay, how?

Let's

go sports together tomorrow.

How about badminton?

I've been too busy lately.

I didn't have time to work out.

OK.

Do you know how to play it?

I'm a professional.

When I was in school,

I was in the school team.

Come on, I'm strong.

And I

have an advantage in my shape, okay?

Only an amateur

would talk about physical strength.

I'll beat you tomorrow.

It's a deal.

You can't go back on your word.

Deal.

He can't take up my off-work time

two days in a row.

There is no such exploitative boss.

Tomorrow.

Childish.

Hold the steering wheel.

Miss,

you bought so much furniture

for decoration?

No.

Moving out.

You're moving alone?

You...

Where is your husband?

Died.

Becoming a widow at such a young age?

Have you thought about finding another one?

Sir,

please drive faster.

Just stop at the intersection ahead.

Okay.

You've gone too far.

You don't even even get out of the car!

I'll return...

I'll return all of them!

[Kang Ziyou]

Hello?

It's me.

What are you doing?

Warm up.

Don't we have to play badminton?

Isn't it in the evening?

You're warming up now?

I haven't exercised for a long time.

So I want to bring myself

into a state of competition.

Competition?

Isn't it a recreational sport?

You pass the shuttlecock to me,

and I hit it back.

Then we...

Of course not.

Winning is the bare minimum

of respect for the game.

I've said that.

I must beat you tonight.

Thank you.

Bye.

Don't be too nervous.

It'll be embarrassing to lose to me tonight.

I'm okay.

Ms. Kang,

I think this...

What are you looking at?

So serious.

A violent spike.

What's the point of only watching it?

You need to practice it.

Tonight,

I'll teach you.

You...

Bee!

Get it out!

Don't drive it toward me.

I don't dare!

Sister.

Why are you sitting here?

What's wrong?

I'm really sorry.

I really

can't find any help.

So I called you.

It's hard to find here.

You're quick.

I...

What can I do for you?

I just moved here

and bought a lot of furniture.

The delivery guy

won't carry them up the stairs for me.

You...

Your shopping habits are quite novel.

Why do you buy them in pairs?

Shopping spree?

When I bought them,

I forgot how big my house is.

It might not be able to accommodate them.

But

I was also afraid these were not enough.

So I bought everything

I could think of.

How about

we go up and see your house first?

If there's anything we can put there,

I'll carry it for you.

If they are too big,

we can return them.

If you can't,

I'll ask someone to take care of them.

How?

I often work here.

I know someone in the furniture market.

So...

these are all mint

and unopened.

I can

resell them for you as new ones.

Really? That's great.

I live there.

Vice President Han,

She should be here soon.

What a troublesome thing.

Well,

we've talked to so many people.

Let alone today,

no one has ever

made such an accusation against Director Luo

in all these years.

Luo and I are close.

He's definitely not the kind of man

who abuses power for personal gain.

Especially in his way of life.

Besides, what Director Luo said

is very reasonable.

Meng Yushan is no longer

a young girl.

I don't care how strict his logic is,

or

what I think about him.

I won't judge just based on my feelings.

I only believe in facts.

Then what is the truth?

Doctor Liu

has told Deputy Director Li.

He didn't find

out-of-line behaviors from Director Luo.

On the contrary,

Meng Yushan

is very close to Director Luo

and especially proactive.

Director Luo's thermos cup

was given by her.

Are these people's words

not credible?

The investigation isn't over yet.

I don't want to jump to conclusions.

Come in.

You're here.

Vice President Han.

Director Xu.

Have a seat.

How do you feel these days?

We know

you're under a lot of pressure.

It's okay.

Today,

it's just a brief conversation.

It won't take long.

Thank you for your concern, Director Xu.

We can start now.

I'll not beat around the bush then.

On the night of that incident,

you worked late.

After that,

you went to Director Luo's office.

Why?

After I got off work that day,

the security guard told me

the front door was closed long ago.

So I took a detour and left through the side door

and passed Director Luo's office.

I saw his office lights on,

and he was working overtime.

So I just wanted to ask

if he needed any help.

That means...

Director Luo didn't

ask you to see him?

Yes.

Then you had a fight.

You said he sexually harassed you.

I'm sorry.

The thing you said

happened at that time,

right?

Yes.

This is a very serious accusation.

Is there any misunderstanding?

I will be responsible

for every word I say.

Okay.

Then,

if you hadn't gone to

Director Luo's office that day,

this matter

wouldn't have happened, right?

Director Xu,

in what direction

are you trying to steer this matter?

According to your logic,

a girl

was violated on the street.

Yet the point of concern is

why this girl

was wearing a skirt in the street?

Why

did she have to dress up so nicely?

Why

did she have to appear there?

Meng.

Don't be too emotional.

I just want to know

the details of what happened.

Besides,

didn't you accept it?

I mean the title of the professor.

I don't understand

why you want to bring this up

at this time?

What do you want to say?

What you said

is lacking in evidence.

And what Director Luo said

is more convincing.

He also provided audio evidence.

Everything I said

is also the truth.

His recording was edited.

Okay, if you agree,

we can send the recording

for a check-up.

That's the best.

This can prove

who is right and who is wrong.

I didn't choose to call the police

but chose to tell Vice President Han

about this.

I have done

as much as I can

for the sake of the hospital's reputation.

So,

you're still looking out for the hospital.

Tell me, what are your requirements?

What do you want?

I need to have him fired from his official position

and make a public apology.

Meng.

Even if what you said is true,

Director Luo didn't

really violate you, right?

What can be considered a violation?

The failure to carry out the violation

is the result.

But you can't use this result

to deny this behavior

and the existence of such crimes.

That's just your side of the story.

You have no evidence

to back up your claims.

Yet through Director Luo's evidence,

this matter

is more like a deal.

If it were really a deal

like you said,

what do I wish to get?

The title of the professor?

But I've got

what I want.

Then why should I

have to tell Vice President Han and you about this?

If I didn't have the courage

to stand here

and report this matter

to the hospital,

how long

would such behaviors and crimes

continue in the future?

Come in.

Director Xu, you want to see me?

Yes, have a seat.

I don't know

What can I do

for you?

Have you heard about

our investigation about Director Luo?

A little.

I don't know the details.

Dr. Meng accused Director Luo

of deliberately stirring up competitions and conflicts

between you two over time.

I wonder

if you know about this.

How is that possible?

Dr. Meng and I

are very close.

You haven't had enough with our superiors,

so you come to me, right?

[When a woman awakens, it is also the time when she is the strongest inside]

[Inner awakening]

[Psychology Consulting Center]

Wang Meng.

Have you ever observed yourself?

You often try to conceal something.

I have nothing to conceal.

I'm not like you, trying to have it all

and making a false countercharge.

Does this consultation center

have anything to do with you?

Why are you

so afraid of me seeing this?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What consultation center?
