[The Outsider]

[Episode 36]

Du is obviously paid to do this.

There's no way it's flawless.

We will find something.

Anyway, I won't let you take the blame for me.

But you didn't have to...

Force yourself to marry me.

What are you talking about?

You accepted the ring.

You can't go back on your word.

Didn't you say that you don't want to get married?

Who said so?

I realized it when we broke up last time.

I can't live without you.

Earlier,

I didn't say that to save you.

I meant every word I said.

If you don't believe me,

I'll say that again.

I'll repeat that a hundred times,

ten thousand times.

Su Mo.

Will you marry me?

[Ansheng Holdings] Actually,

this issue could have subsided.

However, Wang Ju'an suddenly did this.

The marriage proposal video is viral now.

It's good that it goes viral.

At least, the public is distracted.

Nobody talks about Xingyue Bay now.

They won't talk about it now,

but what about a few days later?

If the issue gets worse,

who knows what will happen?

We could have just let Su Mo take the blame.

Now,

Wang Ju'an is involved with her.

Ansheng can't disassociate itself from this.

Ms. Zhang.

We must take action to reduce our loss.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang.

Who is this?

Hello?

What did you say?

Aren't you the best hospital in the country?

You must save Wang Jian.

Don't worry.

This is the situation.

What are you doing?

We'll do our best.

It's useless losing your temper here.

Wang Jian is transplanting his lung.

How can I keep my cool?

(The patient is having lung failure due to pneumonia.)

(The worst-case scenario is only after the lung transplant)

(can he do spontaneous breathing.)

(What is the survival rate of a lung transplant?)

According to the data from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation,

the five-year survival rate is about 50%.

Only 50%?

(There are risks for certain.)

(Fortunately, the patient is still young.)

(His chance of surviving it is higher than average.)

(However, there's a problem.)

(What is it?)

There's an organ shortage.

While we wait for the donated lung,

we'll try our best to mitigate his lung failure.

However, we're not optimistic about his condition.

I've quit my job.

You will no longer be alone.

I'll be here with you every day.

(The patient is diagnosed with ovarian cancer.)

(The surgery has been scheduled.)

(The operation will be performed by our best surgeon.)

[In Operation] (Don't worry.)

(Wang Jian.)

I know it must be painful for you,

right?

All this while,

without you squabbling with me,

do you know

how miserable and boring my life is?

Zhong Sheng.

Zhong Sheng is waiting for you outside.

She's really weird.

I always thought that she didn't deserve you.

After spending time with her for these two days,

I think that you are

a match made in heaven.

Promise me.

You must wake up.

You must take care of Zhong Sheng.

When you get married,

I'm going to give you a big red envelope.

Buddy.

Do you know?

You're the only person

who feels like family to me.

Promise me

that you will get through this.

Okay?

[Ansheng CEO Wang Ju'an involved in scandal]

[Drop in Ansheng's share price due to accidents at Xingyue Bay]

Why is the taste different?

Really?

I think it tastes the same.

Perhaps my mood is different.

Not only my mood,

my memory is getting poor.

I can't remember

if you've officially proposed to me.

The proposal at the Sky Garden doesn't count as one.

That was arranged by my daddy.

Do you need a marriage proposal to divert attention

when you're forced by the reporters?

That is a complete farce.

What's there to be envious about?

It's good even if it's a farce.

Because it's a delightful one.

Unlike us,

we're all about bargaining.

Do you enjoy being watched like a joke?

I'll get someone to write a script for you.

It's useless putting on an act.

They still can't save Ansheng from the crisis.

Its share price keeps dropping.

In just a few days...

What are you up to?

My daddy disapproves of you taking any more action against Ansheng.

The A13 incident has just been resolved.

If you take action against him,

your capital would face issues.

I know.

I don't plan to take action anyway.

Hello?

Zhang Yanan passed out?

Check on this at once.

You must get to the bottom of this.

That's weird.

Zhang Yanan passed out.

Why are you so excited?

Isn't that good news?

Please do some good.

This tastes delicious.

Mom.

How are you feeling?

Calm down.

This is such a serious issue. How can I calm down?

Don't cry.

Why are you so weak?

I'm weak.

Otherwise, you wouldn't keep this

from me.

What's wrong with me?

Why are you looking at me like this?

Help me up.

You've just had surgery. You need to rest.

Hold on.

You brat.

Bring me the mirror.

Hurry up.

Okay.

I've grown old over one night.

Chairwoman, career woman.

Without these titles,

this is my true self, Zhang Yanan.

Don't say that, Mom.

In my heart,

you will always look the same as before.

I thought I was a controlling witch

in your heart?

You're not controlling.

You're tough.

You're not a witch but a hero.

You overcome every obstacle in your way.

Don't worry, Mom.

I'll make you proud.

I found Qi.

She's hiding in a Hong Kong, China actor's house.

What should we do next?

Send me the address.

Wait for my orders.

Okay.

Get me a cup of water, Tianlin.

Tianlin is visiting Wang Jian.

I'm here to visit you.

It's you, Ju'an.

Have a seat.

I didn't expect you to visit me.

I thought you'd hate me.

Nothing matters when it comes to one's life.

I'm the one who almost died.

I didn't expect you to know this better than I do.

I almost lost my loved one too.

I can understand your stance.

You wanted to clear the obstacles for Tianlin

before you collapsed.

Perhaps Tianlin never needed this.

This is all my wishful thinking as his mom.

I thought luck would be on my side,

in which I could undergo the operation secretly

and overcome this hurdle on my own.

Who knows that I'd pass out?

This is probably my karma for kicking you out.

This has nothing to do with karma.

You didn't rest even when you were sick.

Of course you'd be exhausted.

I heard

that you cleared the accounts for Ansheng Hotel.

I'm worried that if I die during the operation,

I can't leave a mess for Tianlin to settle.

You don't have to work so hard now.

Take care of your health

so that you can live a longer life.

Do you really care about me?

Haven't you thought of

reclaiming your power in Ansheng

while I'm in the hospital?

I'm no longer interested in this fight.

You wanted to build the cultural corridor so badly

that you dared go against me.

Are you giving up now?

The cultural corridor is a good idea.

You were worried that I might make it too big,

so you were against it.

Now that I've backed out,

you can analyze the issue rationally.

I believe

that you'll support the project.

Besides,

I want to return to Ansheng

to build the cultural corridor

because I want to prove to my father

that he was wrong about opposing me.

He was wrong for sending me away.

But I don't have to

prove this to him anymore.

Do you hate him?

Are you talking about Wang Jianming?

Yes.

Theoretically, I should hate him.

But what he did

was to protect Wang Jian and Wang Siwei.

I want to protect them too.

I don't hate him when I think like this.

What about me?

Of course you're detestable.

However, you kept the secret from me

all these years.

I should

thank you for this.

Wang Ju'an.

You're much softer now.

After I've come around,

I found the things I used to be adamant about pointless.

Will you return to help me out?

Aren't you afraid that I'd take over your position?

Let bygones be bygones.

From now on...

Even if we let this go,

the public will still remember the scandal.

Su Mo and I are the talk of the town now.

Returning to Ansheng

is going to damage Ansheng's reputation.

Have a look.

Ansheng's share price has dropped drastically.

Without someone at the helm,

it's pointless to have a reputation.

Wang Siwei is solving

Xingyue Bay's issue.

He has grown a lot.

I think that he's capable

of assuming the role of a CEO.

Moreover, you'll be discharged from the hospital soon.

Ansheng will not be left without a leader.

The biggest problem now...

Shang Chun.

He's determined to compete with us.

Do you have any suggestions?

Why are you here?

I'm here to surprise you.

There's no surprise if we see each other every day.

The surprise isn't me.

It's...

(Chairwoman of Ansheng Group, Ms. Zhang Yanan,)

(is admitted to the hospital because of her health concerns.)

(Due to that,)

[Massive drop of Ansheng's share price] (Ansheng's share price has plummeted by 9%)

(and the drastic decline remains,)

(reaching a record low share price.)

(According to insiders,)

(Ansheng Group)

(will undergo a restructure soon.)

You can proceed with the acquisition of Ansheng.

What did you say?

You promised my daddy not to go against Ansheng.

Now, you're secretly

launching your acquisition.

I'm not doing this in secret.

Didn't I tell you?

You're just informing me, aren't you?

You don't even need to discuss this with me.

Why should I discuss it with you?

If you're free, you can go shopping,

enjoy a spa, or play mahjong with your friends.

This is none of your business.

Even if you don't discuss it with me,

you should discuss it with my daddy.

He's in Hong Kong, China.

He has no idea about what's going on here.

You need to be quick

to seize business opportunities.

I must acquire Ansheng Group.

Fine.

Don't regret it.

I never do anything that I'll regret.

What is the surprise you're talking about?

I wanted to give you some information.

However, since you think that it's all under your control,

I won't be a busybody.

Did you ask me over

to show off?

Or do you want to make a deal with me?

I just wanted to have a few words with you.

What is there to talk about?

I lost my baby. And you're responsible for it.

Indeed, I hated you.

But I've been thinking about this.

The most detestable person of all

is the man between us.

You mean

I should hate my husband?

That is your business.

This is the money I got from selling the book bar.

When I started the book bar,

Shang Chun paid for it.

I think I should return the money to him.

The house belongs to Shang Chun.

These are the access card and keys.

Please give these to him.

So he would leave me alone.

Pretentious.

If you don't wish to see Shang Chun, deliver these to him then.

There's no need

to ask me over.

I don't want to have anything to do with him.

I reckon

if you give these to him on my behalf,

he'd understand my stance.

Who do you think you are?

Why would he still think of you?

It's better if he forgets about me.

Qing.

Open the door, Qing.

I know that you're inside.

Did you ask him over?

You asked him over, didn't you?

I didn't do that.

Don't let him know that I'm here.

Qing.

Please open the door.

Qing.

Qing.

Please open the door first, okay?

I know that you're inside.

Qing.

How did you know that I'm back?

I've told the neighborhood security guard to keep an eye on it.

Once you're back, he'll notify me.

Qing.

Did you know? I've been waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

Yes.

Did you really think that I was abandoning you?

It was just an act to show Ai Lin.

I lost my baby, is it an act too?

You know it, Qing.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm upset about the loss too.

But you have done a good job.

You hid yourself secretly.

So, Ai Lin couldn't

find trouble with me.

And we got to have a cooling-off period.

Regardless,

it's a relief that you've returned.

We will never part again.

I knew you had a fiancee all along,

yet I still stayed with you.

I was beaten up by you and got admitted to the hospital.

I didn't report it to the police.

The past few months after the miscarriage,

you didn't even bother to ask.

Now, are you telling me

that we will never part again?

Qing.

I know that you're still furious with me.

I'll compensate you.

I'll make you the happiest bride in the world.

Bride?

This is my promise to you.

Did you forget about it?

Ai Lin has supported you

with loads of money.

Aren't you grateful to her?

Do you think that the Lam Group is giving me the money for free?

The favors are priced.

I'd need to repay them.

In the past six months,

she has gained a lot of benefits from me.

I don't owe her family.

She's willing to marry you.

She must have liked you.

She doesn't love me.

Yet she wants to marry me.

This proves that she has a hidden agenda.

People like her know nothing about love.

She knows nothing about love.

Do you?

All right.

Stop throwing a fit, okay?

I'm not throwing a fit.

I'm serious about this.

It's over between us.

I don't want to have anything to do with you.

I want to make a living in Shanghai

by myself.

I don't need to rely on you anymore.

Given your age

and experience,

it's hard for you

to make a living in Shanghai.

I know...

You have no idea at all.

You've been with me since you graduated from university.

I doted on you, and I spoiled you.

You have no idea how harsh society is.

That's enough.

Stop throwing a fit, okay?

I'm acquiring Ansheng now.

After the acquisition,

no one can stop us from being together.

I hope that when I'm at my peak,

you'll be by my side.

Your success is none of my business.

And I want no part of it.

I only want to have inner peace now.

I swallowed my pride and came to you.

No one in my position,

no men, can do this for you.

I don't mind your background.

I'm the only one who treats you well.

I don't care about the Lam Group's assets that are worth billions.

I still insist on marrying you.

What else do you want from me?

What's wrong with me?

There's nothing wrong with my background.

You beat me up and I was admitted to the hospital.

You made me lose my baby.

All these years, thanks to you,

I was shunned and had to hide.

From the moment you stepped into the house until now,

you didn't even apologize to me.

Well?

Is this what you should do

when you're at this position and status?

I'll ask you one last time.

Will you return to my side?

No.

Fine.

When you're at the end of your tether,

don't regret it.

You made him say such things.

That's right.

I did it on purpose.

You heard him, right?

Are you pitying me?

I just want you to see his true colors

just like I do.

(I'll make you the happiest bride in the world.)

(The favors are priced.)

(I'd need to repay them.)

(In the past six months,)

(she has gained a lot of benefits from me.)

(I don't owe her family.)

(She doesn't love me.)

(Yet she wants to marry me.)

(This proves that she has a hidden agenda.)

(People like her know nothing about love.)

It's been a while.

Nice to see you, Mr. Wang.

Likewise.

Let's have a drink.

Did you quit drinking?

How did you know that I'm here?

I guessed it.

This is the place where you first met him.

I recalled.

You were there too.

That was my first time in Shanghai.

I was the center of attention that night.

Only you and Shang Chun stayed away from me.

In the end, I can't remember those who tried their best

to please me.

Instead, I remember the two of you.

I was merely acting as a foil.

The one who caught your attention was Shang Chun.

I've seen many good-looking, rich boys

like you.

You appear arrogant

and never take the initiative.

You look like you're an unorthodox person,

but you're actually no different from the others.

What about Shang Chun?

He's different.

He's not cocky.

He's not inferior either.

He's not prickly,

yet he's distant from people.

You never know what's on his mind.

He makes me

curious.

Did you fall in love with him as soon as you met him?

Not to that extent of loving him.

I just remembered him.

The engagement happened a few years later.

Even during the engagement,

I wasn't sure

how exactly I felt about him.

So, are you here to mock me?

I just think

that you may need a listener now.

When we first met each other,

was he already dating

Mo Weiqing?

He never said anything specific.

However,

he had a girlfriend back then.

She was a fresh graduate.

She must be Mo Weiqing, then.

You've known all along that he has a girlfriend.

Yes.

I thought he was like the other men,

in which they keep changing girlfriends.

It's nothing at all.

But can you believe it?

Shang Chun is actually loyal.

All these years,

he only has one lover.

Isn't being loyal merit?

If he's not loyal to me,

that wouldn't be merit.

What is your plan after this?

This is a token of appreciation for you.

Thanks for accompanying me.

Check out the address.

You might find the one you're looking for.

You're back.

The soup is ready.

Have some soup.

I don't have the appetite.

I made it myself.

I spent a few hours on this.

What is this?

I added the pig's heart and Amomi Fructus. (*Together, they sound like "a stab in one's heart".)

It's good for your stomach and kidneys.

A stab in my heart.

You're indicating something else, aren't you?

No.

You're overthinking.

It's just a healthy meal, that's all.

You always sound sarcastic.

Don't you want to have a try?

Is the bird's nest ready, ma'am?

It's ready. I'll serve it shortly.

Why are you up so early?

I have something big today.

I'll give you a surprise.

You'll know when you get back home.

You haven't finished your breakfast.

You'd need the energy for the journey.

What do you mean?

It's nothing.

Have a safe journey.

I heard that you're buying Ansheng's shares.

I need to thank you.

Your purchase has strengthened our investors' faith.

Ansheng's shares have become the top-performing stocks again.

You're welcome.

Since I'm going to be

Ansheng's biggest shareholder soon,

the rise in the share price is beneficial to me.

With the amount of shares that you own?

Wang Siwei owes me the money.

He used his shares as collateral for the loan.

You should know about this, right?

I can pay his debt

to you on his behalf.

However, it is clearly stated

in the agreement

that when the loan is due,

I can decide whether I want the money or the shares.

Although Siwei is foolish,

he's not an idiot.

Have a look for yourself, then.

Isn't he part of the upper management of LC?

Besides,

you're showing me the confidential document

of his company and Jiake.

That isn't appropriate, I'm afraid.

You should hide away the important evidence.

If this is leaked, it'd be detrimental to you and Jiake.

Good for you, Wang Ju'an.

Even if you switched the documents,

Siwei still owes me the money.

The money I transferred to Wang Siwei is recorded.

You must be joking.

How could possibly I get my hands

on such important evidence?

Also, please rest assured.

The Wangs never repudiate their debt.

Even if you've lost the loan agreement,

we'll still pay off the debt,

including the interest.

However, you can never get your hands

on Ansheng's shares.
