[Sisterhood]

[Episode 12]

Do you know

someone named Li Ziwei?

Have you ever heard of this name

when your Lu family were in Shanghai?

This name?

Never heard of it.

Li Ziwei.

Does it ring a bell?

Shanghai?

That was years ago.

What did you say her name was?

Li Ziwei.

My eldest brother used to

date a girl who had "Wei" in her name

when he was in Shanghai.

You brother's girlfriend?

Do you know

what happened to that woman later?

No.

I was still in school.

I only remember there was "Wei" in her name.

She was a dancer.

She wanted to marry my brother.

How could my parents agree?

She made a scene.

They had a big fight.

Thereafter,

our whole family moved to Nanyang.

I don't know

how she's been doing.

When did that happen?

Twenty years ago.

At that time, Zhanyuan and I

were about the same age.

20 years…

Miss Bai is also 20 years old.

What does it have to do

with our tutor?

Nothing.

I was just thinking it out loud.

Weird.

Ms. Huang,

do you think

it was the wrong person?

No.

In daily life,

I think Miss Bai

and Li Ziwei

have a lot in common

in terms of their expression and behaviour.

When she wore that cheongsam,

it was almost like Li Ziwei

coming out of a shadow.

How could it be wrong?

But she has

her own parents.

She made it clear just now.

If she really wants to hide it,

she can have it made up long ago.

How could she not say it?

Right.

Why didn't I think of that?

Think about it.

How did you

treat Li Ziwei?

If Bai Wei is really her daughter,

she wouldn't recognise you

even if she came to Southeast Asia.

If I had known

Xuelin would meet Nan Lan

after we came to Xingzhou,

I should have agreed

his marriage with Li Ziwei.

Unfortunately,

there's no tack-backs

in this world.

Mrs. Lu,

don't be sad.

If Miss Bai

is really the daughter of Eldest Young Master,

you have to make a plan in advance.

Right.

Xuelin left me

such a great granddaughter.

She'll be the eldest granddaughter of the Lu family.

I have to accept her.

Don't be happy too early.

After so many years,

she suddenly came to Xingzhou,

wormed her way into our home

and became a tutor here.

I'm afraid she's up to something.

She might come with ill intentions.

Is that so?

Back in Shanghai,

Li Ziwei

kneeled for you

for three days and nights.

Of course she would hate you.

How would she

teach her daughter?

Why didn’t I think of that?

Ever since the accident at the Goddess Hotel,

I’ve been asking people

who were present.

The more I learned,

the more scared I am.

The person with a gun

in the newspaper

seems to be

Miss Bai.

No way.

That kid looks kind.

She can't be the one holding the gun.

Mrs. Lu.

I've been hiding something from you.

What is it?

Eldest Young Master

used to transfer money to Shanghai.

To Li Ziwei?

I suppose

it's because Eldest Young Master had an accident

and the remittance was stopped.

We don't know

if she came to us

to acknowledge her family

or to take a revenge.

Father.

Today,

they took out

my mother's old clothes

and asked me to try on.

They must have recognised me.

I had wanted to leave here,

but now I've decided not to leave.

I promised my mother

to bring you back to Shanghai

and bury you with her,

so I must find

your bones.

Father.

Where are you?

Didi.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

You paid for my parents' funeral.

I can never

pay you back in my life.

How is Mrs. Lu?

She's doing well.

It's just

her heart disease

seems more serious than before.

She needs to take drugs

whenever she gets angry.

Mrs. Lu,

you are so nice.

She treats you so badly,

but you still care about her.

Are you sure about the name

you mentioned?

Yes.

It's Li Ziwei.

Ziwei.

Ziwei.

When you were in a coma,

I heard you often call

a woman's name.

That's all in the past.

Do you mind?

I used to have no doubts

about Lu Xuelin's death,

but I dreamt a lot of him lately.

Let alone the Lu family

made up so many rumours

against me.

That makes me more suspicious.

Didi,

you stay by Mrs. Lu's side every day.

In your opinion,

is Eldest Young Master dead or not?

Lu Xuelin is a good son.

If he left Singapore

to get rid of me,

he wouldn't hide it from her mother.

This is very important

to Miss Nan Lan.

Tell me what you think.

I think he

has passed away.

Mrs. Lu often cries alone.

In her heart,

Eldest Young Mster is the most important.

It can't be fake.

Mrs. Lu's heart disease

is getting worse and worse

because Eldest Young Master left.

I bumped into Mrs. Lu

that day at the hospital.

I tried to get something out of her,

but she didn't say anything.

Tao.

Get more money for Didi

and send her back.

If she's out for too long,

the Lu family will suspect her.

Yes.

Go.

Lu Xuelin.

Are you really dead?

You came quietly

and left without a trace.

Tell me.

Are you really dead?

[Ten Years Ago]

I'm sorry.

I didn't know there was a second hunter

in this forest.

I'm here to hunt deer.

Did I hurt you?

I am your deer.

What did you say?

My surname is Lu.

I'm Lu Xuelin.

It was my pleasure

to be shot by the Heavenly Lady

in the daytime.

Do you know me?

I saw you in the Pageant on Immortals

when I hung out on the street.

I didn't expect

to be your prey now.

Are you sure you're not going to the hospital?

The fortune teller said

I would have a disaster this year.

I'm afraid of dying n the hospital.

You are the Heavenly Lady.

You're a deity.

I believe

you can save my life.

Where is your home?

I'll ask the driver to send you back.

Your soup tastes so good.

I don't want to leave.

But your family

will worry about you.

What if I have nowhere to go?

Young Boss.

What are you looking at?

I'm checking

if the troublemaker yesterday

will come again.

You've been checking for a while.

Are you afraid of him?

Don't worry.

Tianqing taught him a lesson.

He won't come again.

Is Tianqing this great?

He's not easy to deal with.

Tianqing has something on him.

How dare he make trouble again?

Does he want to lose his life?

What does she have on him?

Well,

I can't tell you.

But if it weren't for him,

we wouldn't have the chance

to work today.

Tianqing.

Wipe it.

Young Boss.

Your handkerchief is too clean.

My face is dirty.

-I can't use it. -It's okay.

Let me help you.

Young Boss.

Please don't.

If other sisters see it,

they will gossip.

By the way,

has Miss Nan Lan read the draft?

Did she

propose any ideas?

Not yet.

I thought about it the whole night

and came up with

some ideas to modify it.

I want to talk to her in person.

Can you

make an appointment for me?

It may not be appropriate.

Miss Nan Lan

can see us working

from there.

After we

clean up this place

and get ready for the opening,

I think

Miss Nan Lan

will come to us.

Besides,

I look

so dirty now.

If I go to the Goddess Hotel,

I'm afraid it'll affect her business.

Right.

Tianqing,

you're so thoughtful.

I'll leave you to it.

My head aches.

Why am I sleeping here?

Oh no.

Hai.

Hai.

[Long]

You finally came out.

You were sleeping.

I didn't dare to wake you up.

I've been waiting here for a long time.

I drank too much last night.

How is it?

What do you mean?

Was it fun last night?

Was Jiao good?

What are you talking about?

I saw it.

Jiao was holding you.

She looked very gentle.

Do you still want to say

you didn't sleep with her last night?

[Dragon]

I'll strangle you if you keep talking nonsense.

You two really didn't sleep together?

Of course not.

I have a wife.

Think about it.

Jiao is Long's sister.

How dare I

offense her?

[Dragon]

I thought

you were dating Jiao.

If you were in a relationship with Jiao,

we would be invincible

in Dragon King Gang.

Jiao treats you really well.

She was about to fight with the ones who bullied you

after she heard you were injured.

Just forget

that Red Scarf.

She made you...

Think about it.

Why did my wife

refuse me?

I haven't figured it out.

Analyse it for me.

Why did she reject me?

She...

She must have someone else in her heart.

No way.

It's not been long since she came to Xingzhou.

How could she fall in love

with another man?

It's all because of the ship escorting.

If I could have watched her every day,

I wouldn't have let another man

swoop in.

Hai, wake up and smell the coffee.

What's so good about her?

Jiao is

way better than her.

Jiu,

I'm telling you one last time.

I respect

Jiao,

but I can't marry her.

If others in the gang

heard what you said,

what would they think of me?

Also, let me make it clear,

my wife

can't fall in love with another man.

It must be my fault.

Come here.

My wife said she didn't want to see me,

but she didn't say she wouldn't see you.

Go follow her.

Find out

why she rejected me.

This is so embarrassing.

What a loser.

Are you going or not?

If you refuse me,

I won't treat you as my brother.

Go.

Xueting.

Sister.

I heard you got a girlfriend.

Why didn't you bring her to me?

It's not like that.

I was in a bad mood yesterday.

The one who drank with me

was the younger sister of my sister-in-law.

Young Lady of Jin?

I met her when she was young.

She was chubby

and naughty.

Yes, that's her.

There's really nothing

between us.

I just went to the hotel for a drink.

Don't tease me.

Xueting.

What's the hurry to leave?

I will ask the servant in the kitchen

to cook you some porridge.

You may be feeling sick after drinking too much.

Thank you.

Why were you in a bad mood?

You have grown up.

I won't ask about it if you don't want to tell,

but...

Remember,

no matter what happened

between me and the Lu family,

you will always be

the closet family member to me.

Come here

whenever you want to have a drink.

I'll drink with you.

Thank you.

♫Flowers bloom and fade, flying in the sky♫

Tao.

Did you invite a performer?

No.

This is a guest,

Tan Yuqing.

I remember now.

She's a frequenter at the hotel,

the very stylish one.

That's her.

♫Who pities the loss of your fragrance when you die?♫

What is she singing?

Cantonese opera.

Tan Yuqing is a famous Cantonese opera performer.

She enjoyed popularity for a time a few years ago.

♫Against the spade I lean and in secret I weep♫

♫Splashed on your bare branches are my tears like bloodstains♫

Hello, everyone.

Sorry.

I haven't sung for a long time, so my throat is itchy.

Sorry for bothering you.

Bravo.

Thank you.

She's been staying here for days

and was ignored,

so she...

I understand.

After all, she was once popular,

and she cannot stand the loneliness.

That's right.

When she was popular back then,

because she's pretty,

and her nickname was...

What was it?

Stunner.

Xueting,

go to Miss Tan

and ask for her autograph later,

she will definitely be happy.

No wonder Goddess Hotel

is doing so well.

You are so attentive to customers.

I'll go now.

Let's go.

Are you Miss Tan Yuqing?

Hello.

It's my honor

to see you today.

You are so kind.

Can I have your autograph?

Sure.

Young Master Lu

doesn't need to be taught

to please women.

She has a nice voice,

She should look good.

Why did she quit singing?

She left the business early.

Now the popular one

is her junior,

Bai Yujiao.

What a pity

that she left the business like this.

They said she found a good backer,

and followed a big merchant in Penang.

He's rich and powerful.

That's why she quit.

Is she married?

No.

Has she become his concubine?

I heard his family didn't even let her in.

They didn't like

her background in opera,

and she doesn't have

a son or a daughter.

In the past few years,

she has been switching hotels

in Malacca,

Singapore and Penang.

What does she want?

She might as well have kept singing

for a lifetime.

Isn't that good as well?

I'm sorry, boss.

Why is she in a hurry?

Her name is Xiuhe,

and she's a temporary worker here.

She runs fast, otherwise she'll be punished if she's late.

Each woman has her own difficulties.

Should we bring more people?

I'm the Heavenly Lady.

If I take people to hunt deer,

no one would believe me.

You're not young anymore,

and you can't run too fast.

If the deer goes crazy,

you have to be careful.

Don't worry.

Here.

Miss Nan Lan.

Miss Nan Lan.

Why don't you look at the car?

Sorry.

I'm looking for Miss Nan Lan.

Miss Nan Lan,

are you going out?

Are you looking for me?

Dear Miss Nan Lan,

my name is Yu Shixiang.

I made a design plan

for your old mansion.

Have you read it?

Recently,

I have some new ideas

to communicate with you face to face.

But I didn't come at the right time today.

Could I

make an appointment with you

and ask for your advice

when you're free?

Since you're here,

let's do it today.

Aren't you going out?

What I do

can wait.

Let's go.

This mansion

has a history of nearly 100 years.

A hundred years ago,

building a mansion like this in Singapore

shows that your ancestors were rich.

Besides,

the design of the whole mansion

and the layout

are so rational.

It's not just about money,

but

a deep understanding

of architecture.

It is a combination of Chinese and Western elements,

and its details are delicate and beautiful.

Anyway,

I think your mansion

is a miracle

in the architecture history of Singapore.

Please allow me

to show my sincere respect

to your ancestors.

Thank you.

Unfortunately,

this mansion

was not built by our family.

My grandfather

bought it from someone else.

Really?

Then, there is no greater proof

of your grandfather's good taste.

He chose the most valuable architecture

in Singapore.

Miss.

Tao,

you may go back to work.

This is your blueprint,

I marked a few places on it.

Please take a look.

Okay.

Miss Nan Lan,

have you studied architecture?

No.

How is that possible?

Even a designer

might not

have such professional opinion.

Besides,

it is such a visualized

reconstruction scheme.

I feel ashamed.

To be honest,

these places

are exactly the ones

which I have considered inappropriate day and night

after submitting the drawing,

and I thought they need to be improved.

As a result,

you saw everything through.

Stop praising me.

But I can see that

you did a good job.

I heard you used to be a subcontractor.

Yes.

Of course

you have never heard of

people like us.

I can take this opportunity

to introduce myself to you just in time.

Our Yu family is

the most trustworthy subcontractor in Singapore.

I have inherited my father's career.

Although I'm still a green hand,

I

love this industry very much.

It's also rare

to love what you do.

The most important thing

in our industry

is to know our way around.

All the supply channels

which are related to architecture

are all

in the hands of our family.

All I think about every day is

how to use labor and materials,

and how to

guarantee quality

while saving money for the bosses.

Also,

all the senior craftsmen

in Singapore,

all the blacksmiths,

carpenters,

and bricklayers

and the craftsmen

who make the most beautiful handmade floor tiles.

I know them all,

and they would show me some respect

by accepting the work with the cheapest salary.

Unfortunately,

I know you too late.

I have handed over the task of repairing the old mansion

to Tianqing.

Tianqing?

Do you mean the Red Scarf,

Ouyang Tianqing?

Such a big project

was handed over

to a Red Scarf

from the countryside.

Miss Nan Lan,

I admire

your courage

very much.

Now that you mentioned it,

I was rash.

Not really.

The person you trust

is unlikely to slip a cog.

But,

I'm afraid a Red Scarf

would need to spend more money

to purchase materials.

The payment won't be cheap

for her to hire some craftsmen either.

Actually,

would it be necessary

for dozens of Red Scarfs

to gather in such a small construction site?

Everyone needs to get paid.

Of course.

You are the richest lady in Singapore,

and you would not care about such little money.

No one's money

comes easy.

Right.

Unfortunately,

my project is too small.

Otherwise,

I would have asked you to be the subcontractor.

No, not at all.

No matter your project

is big or small,

I would never hesitate to take.

Well...

Are you entrusting me

with rebuilding the old mansion?

You can rest assured.

I am better than them messing around.

Thank you in advance, Young Master Yu.

Thank you, Miss Nan Lan.

I heard that you are also the subcontractor

of the building which was built by the joint venure of

Richard and the Lu family.

Right.

In fact, I was not only the subcontractor.

The bearded designer from the UK

was gone and left a bunch of sketches,

some parts are not clear.

I have redrawn many of them

for him.

But honestly,

that building has a great location,

and the design plan is excellent.

It will definitely become

a landmark in Singapore.

Think about it.

It's a 12-floor building,

the highest one in Singapore now

only has seven floors.

Have you ever thought

how it feels

to overlook the whole Singapore in the sky?

You can have a panoramic view of

the beautiful bay

and the gentle hills.

Miss Nan Lan,

I heard

you bought Richard's shares.

You have a foresight.

Only you

deserve

such a great building.

Unfortunately, the construction has been suspended.

I was about to ask

why it was suspended.

I don't like the partner.

Do you mean

the Lu family?

I don't like them either.

Lu Xueqiao

is a playboy,

and he knows nothing.

Also,

the Lu family doesn't seem to have enough money,

and they even used a lot of money from the bank.

Miss Nan Lan,

if you want to kick the Lu family out,

I'm not talented,

but I am willing to negotiate for you.

If it doesn't exceed this number,

and you can take

of the Lu family,

I'll give you a bonus.

Miss Nan Lan,

please wait for the good news.

Let's go,

to Lu's architecture company.

Young Master, are we going to meet boss?

We don't know

who will be the boss for the future yet.

I've called boss,

he's on his way back.

He heard you are Miss Nan Lan's

special representative,

and asked me to take good care of you.

He'll be here soon.

Would you like something to drink?

Coffee.

Okay.

Hold on.

Please.

Young Master Lu,

my dad asked someone to

bring this from Penang.

It's just a little token to show our respect.

Please accept it.

Put it down.

Young Master Lu,

may I ask

when our building will

start working again?

Are you asking me?

How would I know?

Well,

can you pay

the money you owe us?

Are you here for money?

What did you say

when you begged me?

The construction has only been suspended for a few days,

and do you want to rebel first?

No, you have misunderstood.

I'm not trying to rebel,

what I want is the second payment

according to the contract rules.

My remuneration as the subcontractor

is included,

also the wage of foremen

and workers.

Sometimes, we have replenished sand

and lime here and there,

and they were all paid by our Yu family.

It costed us a lot.

What does it

have to do with me?

I told you long time ago

we only have

35% of the shares,

the remaining 65%

belongs to others.

You can't say that, Young Master Lu.

I have signed my contract

with you,

right?

And when you signed

with the major shareholder,

you were responsible

for the construction site.

If I remember correctly,

you can get more bonus for this.

A bonus?

I can only get the bonus

after the building is built and sold.

It has been suspended,

and I have to borrow money from the bank

and pay the interest every day.

And you even want money from me, don't you?

Get lost!

No, I...

Get lost!

Where is the man sent by Nan Lan?

It's Mr. Yu here.

Are you the representative sent by Nan Lan?

Mr. Lu,

please have a seat.

On behalf of Miss Nan Lan,

I am here to negotiate

about this building.

The representative of Nan Lan?

Let's talk.

Aren't you going for deer hunting?

No.

Baby deers are cute,

and I feel sorry for them.

I don't want to kill them either.

Besides,

there are still a few days left for the Pageant on Immortals,

and I also want to see this good show.

That Yu Shixiang...

No wonder you remember him.

He is indeed extraordinary.

Do you

admire him very much?

He's already entrusted with an important task.

This is outrageous!

Nan Lan

has indeed gone too far!

Why didn't the fire

burn her to death?

This is the best price

I have negotiated for you.

If it goes on like this,

Miss Nan Lan

might not even pay for it.

By the way,

is there anything going on

between the two of you?

Why does Miss Nan Lan

get angry

whenever she hears your name?

Leave.

Leave if you're done.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Last time I came here,

you asked me to get lost and drove me away.

Yu Shixiang,

when did you

become Nan Lan's man?

Are you trying to set me up with her?

Don't blame me for not reminding you,

the premise of the deal

is that you have to

pay back the money you owe me first.

Hello, this is Lu's Mansion.

Xueqiao.

Do you want me to go to the company?

Okay.

Don't worry.

I'll be right there.

You darn woman!

You can't do

anything I asked.

Didn't I ask you

to talk to Nan Lan?

You refused to go because of a string of beads.

Great now,

she sent someone to us

and offered the price

which not even enough

to pay the bank interest.

Are you smiling?

How can you still laugh?

I wanted you

to turn

35% of the shares

into money before

and quit the business.

But now that I think about it,

we are not in a hurry.

Why?

The money is not only from our Lu family,

but also from the bank.

I have to pay back a lot of interest every day.

Darling,

think about it.

It has only been suspended for a few days,

Nan Lan has already sent someone

to negotiate with you in a hurry.

That means

she did not only take the shares

to aim at the Lu family,

but she also values that building.

Since she values it so much,

why should we act rashly?

We can negotiate with her slowly.

You have a point.

But I don't have money in my hands,

and I can't hold for long.

Ask your mother for it.

This is such a great opportunity.

The Lu family's assets

are all locked

in her safe.

How much money

does the company have?

If the business is not good,

it's not because

you are incapable,

it is because Nan Lan

is setting us up.

She hates Nan Lan guts.

Can she watch her son

lose to that woman?

That makes sense.

Darling, you are awesome.

You're back so soon.

Looks like there's good news.

Although Lu Xueqiao is stubborn,

I can see

he feels guilty.

I think

he won't last long.

He will accept the price

for you.

How much did you offer?

It's so low.

Then how much

should I give you as a bonus

from the money you save?

I don't want a bonus.

It's my job to do my best

for Miss Nan Lan.

Besides, according to my analysis,

the probability of inking the deal at this price

is more than 80%.

Thank you, Young Master Yu.

Miss Nan Lan,

I have

another important thing

to report to you.

What is it?

Don't you think

it's strange that the old house was on fire?

It's strange.

I know

you have a grudge

against Lu Xueqiao.

Maybe he sent someone

to set the fire, right?

You and the governor are friends.

If you punish Lu Xueqiao,

the money

can be saved.

You're so cruel.
