I'll give him a call first.

He hasn't had any food or drink for the past two days.

He's just being stubborn.

Don't bother calling him.

He won't answer.

Avoiding the problem won't help.

Yuan Yuan, there's no problem that

I join the crew and revise the script.

Send me all the information about the drama, okay?

If you see my brother later, tell him to take it easy

and not stress too much.

Shanshan.

Your brother has a child's temper.

There's nothing I can do about it.

It's okay.

After you've booked the tickets, don't forget to send me the details.

Alright.

You're back?

Let's go and grab some hot pot.

Oh, I forgot to mention.

I won't be able to join you for hot pot.

My brother's project has run into some issues.

So I must join the crew immediately and help him revise the script.

Do you have to leave tonight?

Yes.

Yuan Yuan specifically came to find me at the company.

It's really last minute.

I didn't want to go either.

But Yuan Yuan said that if I don't go,

my brother might face legal action,

and he'll have to refund the screenwriter fee.

When will you be able to come back?

As soon as possible.

Once I'm there, I'll video call you.

I'll make it up for the hot pot when I'm back.

So now you owe me.

I'll go pack up first.

Do you want me to help you?

An accident?

Do you know how much debt their family was in?

Her father owed over 5 million.

Even if they don't eat or drink,

they could never repay it in their lifetime.

Once her mother passed away, the debt wrote off.

That's how she got to college and ended up where she is today.

People are willing to do anything to change their fate.

You should understand that better than I do, boss.

Mr. Yang.

What's the matter at this late hour?

I'm sorry, Xia.

I never truly understand you.

(I had no idea)

(what you've been through.)

Xia.

You should have told me earlier.

(We're very similar.)

Whenever you perform acts of kindness,

involving yourself in charity work, it's an attempt

to heal your inner self, isn't it?

(You should have told me)

(that we're kindred spirits.)

(Xia.)

Can you come back?

I'm willing to give up everything for you.

Mr. Yang.

If you have nothing else, I'll hang up.

I'll protect you.

I won't let anyone bully you.

We're climbing higher,

looking down from above.

We're moving forward together, supporting each other.

Because of all of you,

we're getting closer to our dreams.

Borman.

Our passion lies in our original intention,

and our responsibility lies in our mission.

Every step you take at Borman

is a valuable life experience.

You not only help others but also reflect your self-worth.

This is why psychology brings joy to the world.

Hello.

Who is Yang Youli, the legal representative of Borman?

I am.

We are from the Economic Investigation Division

of the Su City Police Department.

We suspect that Borman Counseling Center

is involved in stealing trade secrets.

Everyone, please remain still.

Please cooperate with our investigation.

This is a search warrant.

(Su City Police Department Search Warrant)

Why do we both end up having a love's Waterloo?

This isn't my Waterloo.

Well, absence sparks more than a honeymoon.

Sis. Don't force it.

Look.

He couldn't even tell that you were angry.

He just left right away.

I think he's a silly monkey.

Think about it. Does he resemble one?

Look.

Am I right?

With you imitating like that, it's pretty close to him.

Right?

Let me try another one.

How about this?

Oh my.

Or this?

This is him.

Stop it.

Let me tell you.

He may be a bit foolish, but he's genuinely good-hearted.

This time it's his brother who caused trouble again somewhere.

He's on his way to clean up the mess.

But he mostly won't even get a thank you this time.

Stop with the humble bragging.

I'm begging you.

Your boyfriend is one of a kind.

As for mine, I can't find him anywhere.

He's always running around in the woods,

even turning his head in the snow.

When I compare our situations,

I feel so miserable.

I feel like crying again.

No. Why are you crying?

Shouldn't it be me who's crying?

That guy running around in the woods is my brother.

My boyfriend is also running in the woods.

Why is everyone running in the woods?

Should I also be running in the woods?

How about you stop running?

Let's see how you can comfort me and make it up to me.

Alright. Here's a massage.

Such a drama queen.

You can say it so clearly in front of me.

Why don't you say it in front of my brother?

I can't talk to him.

We don't even have basic trust between us.

I initially believed he was like a small puppy.

But he bit me unexpectedly.

That's when I knew he is a white-eyed wolf. [♪someone ungrateful]

I can't describe how he yelled at me that day with such loud shouts.

And his wide-open eyes showed a lot of white.

Now I know his eyes have noticeable sclera.

And you... Stop laughing.

You're taking his side.

What's going on with you today?

Is this some zoo?

A silly monkey.

A little puppy.

A wolf.

Finally, I understand why they're called white-eyed wolves.

It's because of their sclera, right?

Exactly.

You're just supporting him.

You're just like him.

A white-eyed wolf.

Running in the woods.

(Jiang Siyan)

That really amuses me.

You... Hold on.

Let me take this call.

Hi. Ms. Jiang.

(Xia.)

(You've done me)

(a huge favor this time.)

(I followed your lead)

(and hired someone to look in the opposite direction.)

(No surprise.)

(It was Borman who leaked it.)

(Do you know Borman is gearing up)

(for an upcoming IPO?)

(I've been in this game)

(for so many years.)

(Some think they can fool me.)

(They'll pay the price for that.)

(Once I'm done here, )

(I'll treat you to a meal.)

Alright.

Goodbye.

Yang Youli is responsible for the Aoran Group's incident.

I always had my suspicions about him.

(We're from the Economic Investigation Division)

(of the Su City Police Department.)

(Ms. Jiang Siyan, )

(Chairwoman of the Aoran Group, )

(has reported your company, )

(Borman Counseling Center, )

(for allegedly disclosing trade secrets.)

(We have initiated)

(the formal investigation process.)

(During this time, )

(as the main person in charge)

(of Borman, )

(keep your phone accessible, )

(do not leave the city, )

(and be ready for summons anytime.)

Is anyone here?

Anyone around?

Are you here to see Qi Lianshan?

He's not here. He's on a business trip.

I know.

I came to see you.

Me?

I want to have a psychological counseling session.

Here, we only take appointments.

Can I make an appointment now?

Sure.

Please have a seat and wait for a moment.

I've developed feelings for a guy lately.

But I feel that he doesn't like me.

Do you have any advice that could help me?

I don't guide on love matters.

But if you're feeling down, we can talk about it.

What symptoms do you have?

Well,

I'm experiencing insomnia, anxiety, sadness, agitation, and pain.

Based on these symptoms, you're quite unwell.

I'm serious.

So am I.

Do you know who I have feelings for?

You seem determined to be here, so I can guess.

When I first returned, all I did was work.

Later, through the "Chasing the Wind" project, I met Qi Lianshan.

As we spent more time together, after getting to know him,

I started developing feelings for him.

Do you know the person you like has a girlfriend?

Yes, I do.

No, but I'm not sure.

I asked him from the start and he told me

you were not his girlfriend yet.

So if he has yet to pursue you, I have a chance.

Who knows, you two suddenly get together, and no one notices me.

If I had known you were a couple,

I wouldn't have invited him for dinner.

So did you do that?

No need to be nervous.

I invited him for dinner, but he didn't show up.

It's the first time in my life that a guy stood me up.

Even now, it still makes me angry.

If he agreed to go with you and didn't show up,

then it's definitely his fault.

No. It's not his fault.

I told him it was a gathering of literary division colleagues,

so he felt obligated to come.

It's all my fault.

Alright.

I've said my piece, and I feel better now.

It's a little awkward.

How should we wrap this up?

Well, let's shake hands.

Though it's a bit cliche, I truly believe every genuine connection

deserves respect.

Before coming here, I wanted to challenge you.

But after sitting here, I regretted it.

Why?

I don't know either.

It's a woman's intuition.

But I can't say the typical "I wish you happiness".

I don't want to lie.

I'm leaving.

(Shan)

What's wrong?

Why aren't you picking up the phone?

Shanshan.

(Hey, Yuan Yuan.)

(Are you at the studio?)

Yes, I am.

How are you doing now?

(Everything is going smoothly.)

(Tell my bro don't worry.)

(I just called him several times, )

(but he didn't answer.)

(Are you with him?)

Yes, I am.

Your bro isn't feeling well.

He's sleeping.

When he wakes up, I'll ask him to call you back, okay?

Why didn't you answer the phone?

Don't you know what kind of life the screenwriter has

in the production crew?

Can't you offer some words of comfort?

He brought it upon himself.

What are you talking about?

You're talking nonsense.

Do you think he went to the production crew to help me?

I've realized that this guy has become quite cunning.

Play dumb to catch smart.

He is helping you.

How can you say such things about him?

He went to show off.

You're unreasonable.

I've noticed that you enjoy criticizing me.

Check your Moments and take a look.

Public opinion is overwhelmingly biased.

Everyone knows that Qi Lianshan is the screenwriter for that drama.

Qi Lianshan is impressive, and Jia Zhen is foolish.

Get out of here.

It's infuriating.

Don't hang around me.

You're seriously sick.

Serves him right.

Working himself to death.

It's best if the script goes wrong and his effort is in vain.

He deserves it.

I tried calling earlier, but no one answered.

So I came up here.

I was probably working on the script the whole time.

The director's anger has subsided.

But I'm still concerned about the script's progress.

Sir.

Don't worry too much.

Give me another week.

Within a week, I'll do my best to adjust the remaining script

and send it to you.

Within a week?

You can do it within a week?

I can.

Then I don't have to worry now.

If all the screenwriters were like you, the film and TV industry

would take a big step forward.

No.

There are many screenwriters like me, but they have yet

to be discovered.

I finally feel at ease.

There's nothing else at the moment.

Regarding your daily needs, such as food and lodging,

let me know if you need anything.

The team has made satisfactory arrangements for me.

Alright. That's great to hear.

I'll head back now.

Sure. You continue with your work.

(Liu Xia)

(Liu Xia)

You just called me?

I've been working on the script and didn't see it.

Why do you look so exhausted?

I stayed up for two nights and felt a bit dizzy.

You haven't slept for two days?

I can't say I didn't sleep at all.

I took some naps in between.

How about I come over?

Then I can keep you company and take care of you.

It's okay.

You also have your own work to do.

By the way, how is Xiaohua doing?

Aren't you treating her?

You never seem to care about me.

Why are you suddenly concerned about her?

You mentioned before that you're both helping each other.

When she's doing well, you'll be doing well too.

She's almost fully recovered.

I helped her work through her emotional issues.

Anyway, I'll provide additional counseling later

to help her regain confidence.

Then she can return to campus.

And what about you?

Have you resolved your emotional issues?

Me?

I'm just the same.

Do you miss me?

Of course, I do.

So when are you coming back?

I think it's still going to take some time.

You have to stay a bit longer?

Alright then.

Take care of yourself.

Stop staying up late, okay?

I'll get back to writing the script.

If I finish it early, I can come back to you soon.

You focus on your work.

I'll hang up now.

Goodbye.

I've mentioned I truly admire your ambition.

However, one must also learn to control his ambitions.

There's still a chance for a comeback if losing all property.

Never make the family torn apart due to your actions.

Stealing Aoran Group's trade secret

is a selfish act on your part.

It doesn't involve anyone else.

Keep this statement in your mind.

No mistakes are allowed.

I've lost everything now.

Can you blame me for having nothing left?

Just a woman could cause you to lose it all.

You're a fool, a worthless person.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Don't stare at me like that.

By betraying you, I can get a large sum of money.

If you were me, you would do the same.

Furthermore, Liu Xia is my college classmate.

I can use her,

but I have no reason to harm her.

Mr. Yang.

Behave yourself.

Get out!

What's the matter, De?

The chairman...

The chairman has passed away.

(Su City Binhai Group's Chairman, Bai Junting, has passed away.)

Hello.

(Hi, Miss Liu.)

(Well, )

(I'm sorry to bother you.)

(Are you free now?)

I'm available.

I saw the news.

How is Bai Muchen doing now?

(He's not doing well at all.)

(From yesterday until now, )

(he hasn't eaten a single meal)

(or talked to anyone.)

(Miss Liu.)

(He has finally recovered.)

(He won't go back)

(to his old self, right?)

(The company is in complete chaos now.)

(If he doesn't step up)

(at this moment, )

(everything will be over.)

Where is he now?

(He's at the chairman's grave site.)

Alright. I'll go there now.

(Okay. Thank you, Miss Liu.)

Goodbye.

(Mr. Bai)

Miss Liu.

De asked you to come here?

Does he think I'm having another episode?

I'm here to see Mr. Bai.

Don't worry. Miss Liu.

Grandpa has worked hard to bring me back.

I won't go back to the way I used to be.

De told me that

Mr. Bai passed away peacefully.

At least there were no regrets and no suffering.

But I miss him so much.

A few days ago, I shared my plans with him,

wanting him to see my changes

and be proud of me.

But it's too late for everything.

I'm sorry. Miss Liu.

I'm causing you trouble again.

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

Though you're sad and heartbroken, De told me that Binhai Group

is in complete chaos now.

Once you've sorted yourself,

you still need to do what you should do.

After all, it's your grandfather's life's work.

I got it.

Miss Liu.

All this while, I thought I had

romantic feelings for you.

But after this time,

I realize you're more like family.

Whenever I'm at my vulnerable,

you give me strength.

This strength has been building up within me.

Every time I'm on the verge of breaking,

it's this strength that supports me and helps me.

And then,

when I saw you with Mr. Qi,

I realized that the greatest happiness

is seeing you happy.

Bai Muchen.

Thank you.

Xiaohua said they had an argument on the day her mother passed away.

Did you know about this?

She also said that her mother called her before she passed away,

but she didn't answer.

She said her mother was asking for help.

Her mother had a sudden heart attack and died.

She called me before she passed away.

I immediately called emergency services,

then rushed back home.

After I arrived home,

her mother was already gone.

What does this have to do with her?

Have you told Xiaohua about this?

She keeps it to herself.

Every day, she goes to her room and shuts the door.

Can you tell me about

the relationship between Xiaohua and her mother?

Well, our family used to be pretty good.

Xiaohua got into the best university in Su City.

Everyone envied us.

I had a good relationship with her mother.

Xiaohua was also sensible.

Although we had some arguments, we were living a content life.

So, Xiaohua wasn't always like this?

Of course not.

Xiaohua is very sensible

and cheerful.

When did she change like this?

Since her mother got sick.

One day, her mother suddenly fainted.

She was rushed to the hospital and revived.

But her health deteriorated from there.

During her mother's most difficult times,

Xiaohua stayed by her side.

This child has a hard time

accepting the loss of her mother.

I can understand.

But why did things turn this way?

Miss Liu, do you know

it's been over a year since I've had a proper conversation

or meal with Xiaohua?

I don't know how to live

from now on.

Can you understand how a father feels?

I'm begging you.

Please help Xiaohua.

Help her, please.

I will do my best.

That night, before your mother called you,

she also reached out to your father.

The conversation revolved around her experiencing discomfort

in her heart.

Your father immediately called for emergency assistance

and hurried back home.

Unfortunately, he arrived too late.

So, when your mother called you, it wasn't a plea for help.

She sincerely worried about your safety outside.

No. It's not true.

It is.

I double-checked with your father and the facts support my statement.

I could have stayed home that day,

but I disregarded her advice.

However, her passing wasn't directly caused by that.

She had a preexisting heart condition,

and you've always been aware of it.

It was an accident.

You feel sad

because there's still regret in your heart.

Your last conversation with your mom

was an argument.

You didn't pick up that call.

You didn't even say a proper goodbye.

But that's just a regret.

Why do I keep hearing the phone ring?

It's in my ear.

It keeps ringing.

It affects my studies.

It affects my life.

I... I can't even sleep.

I can't help but think about it.

That's because you miss your mom.

You miss her.

You wish she could call you again.

You wish she could give you another chance.

But what you can do now

is face this regret head-on.

Your mom loved you the most,

so she won't blame you.

She wouldn't want you to live in constant fear,

right?

So we have to find a way to get better.

I miss my mom.

I miss you so much.

Okay.

Take it for Mr. Wu's signature.

Alright, Jing.

Have you eaten?

I ate.

- Jing. - I've already reviewed it, but it may be complicated.

You need to double-check it.

Alright, Ran.

Sisi.

Were you looking for me?

No. Jing.

Make sure you calculate it correctly.

Don't make any mistakes.

Okay.

Jing.

Do you need something from me?

Nothing. My mistake.

You go on with your work.

Alright.

(Su City TV Station)

(Resignation letter)

What's going on?

I heard you quit your job.

Are you planning to run off with Han Feng?

Are you out of your mind, Lian Jingyun?

You're the one who constantly belittles me.

Are you the only person in the world?

Do I have to wait for you like a loyal dog?

You've become a laughingstock.

Everyone at the station is gossiping about me behind my back.

I want to know.

When will you mature?

And you're talking to my parents, claiming I'm indecisive.

Does it sit well with your conscience when you say such things?

So what do you expect me to do?

I can't keep deceiving them, can I?

Forget it.

I won't waste my breath with you.

Just tell me.

Did they cancel the activity on Tree Planting Day?

It's canceled.

It's already canceled.

It's all gone.

What do you mean?

Is it really canceled?

Are you playing with me?

Lian Jingyun. I'll be honest with you.

We've been divorced for a long time.

But in my heart,

we've never been apart.

I already had my parents pay off the mortgage.

Why do I have to chase after you every month for the mortgage payment?

I fear you'll leave

and no longer want me.

Do you believe no one has pursued me these years?

Why do I stay in this home

after work every day?

I'm waiting for you.

I'm waiting for you to mature.

I'm waiting for you to take responsibility

and stop pretending with me.

But I... But I'm exhausted. Lian Jingyun.

I can't wait any longer.

Xiaohua.

Long time no see.

I'm sorry about last time.

The shareholders determine the consulting fee at Borman.

I wanted to help you, Xiaohua.

But I couldn't go against the rules.

So I had my subordinates introduce you to Miss Liu Xia.

Are you and Miss Liu colleagues?

Yes.

During her college days, she interned with me.

We have a strong bond.

Why isn't she working at Borman anymore?

That's the matter I wanted to discuss with you today.

I already discussed it with your father.

Miss Liu Xia has severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

In strict terms, she can no longer work in the psychology field.

Her condition is very similar to yours.

She wants to heal herself while helping you.

In our field, there's a saying that when counselors

treat many clients, they can't distinguish who is healing whom.

So you can help Miss Liu to recover.

What do you mean?

I need your cooperation.

We can help Miss Liu overcome her challenges.

Did she mention her friend to you?

That friend she talked about

is herself.

This matter must remain confidential.

She shouldn't know.

She has developed strong defense mechanisms

due to her long-term illness.

If handled poorly, it could fail to assist her and cause harm.

You can ask Miss Liu Xia

for confirmation if you doubt our relationship.

Your assistance will be rewarded.

The contract offers a reward of 300,000.

I genuinely want Miss Liu Xia to recover fully.

If you agree, I'll make the initial payment now.

Once Miss Liu Xia recovers completely,

I'll send the remaining payment.
