(Fireworks of My Heart)

(Episode 38)

Zhai Miao.

No matter how unwilling we are,

we can't turn back time.

Yes, we can't turn back time.

But the wound is still there.

Song Yan.

How could you forgive them so easily?

You're wrong.

I haven't forgiven them.

In fact, I don't want them to apologize.

Even if they apologize,

I won't forgive them.

But I have no resentment.

Nor do I have the heart to take revenge.

Because I don't want to live the rest of my life...

with resentment in my heart.

I'm not telling you...

to save anyone.

But do what should be done.

No thanks necessary,

no apologies necessary.

As for me,

I'm doing well now.

I'll do even better in the future.

Let bygones be bygones.

Just let it go.

There's no need to hold grudges.

If you say so.

I'm not the one who wasted 10 years of my life anyway.

I'll hand over the evidence.

But whatever I do before that...

is none of your business.

No matter what you do,

remember this.

We don't harm anyone.

I don't need you to lecture me.

Zhai Miao.

Uncle.

Aunt.

- How did it go? - We found the witness.

She has video evidence...

that can prove Yan Chen's innocence.

How much money does she want?

Give her as much as she wants...

as long as she gives us the evidence.

The problem is...

she doesn't want money.

Important guests are here.

My house is small.

Please don't mind it.

Hello.

We're here to pay you a visit.

Is there anyone else at home?

It's just me.

Just get to the point.

What do you want?

Just name it.

How should I address you?

Zhai Miao.

Okay.

Ms. Zhai.

We're here today...

for only one reason.

We just want to talk to you.

I hope...

you can help us resolve this matter.

You both are so nice.

I thought you would yell at me first.

Time is of the essence, so let's cut to the chase.

Why don't we...

get straight to the point?

What happened back then...

was indeed our fault.

We were wrong.

If there's any way we can make up for it,

just let us know.

If you want revenge,

come at me.

Meng Yan Chen is innocent.

You've never met him.

He's a good kid.

But your classmates...

twisted the truth and accused him,

calling him a rapist.

As family,

I'm sure...

you can understand how we feel.

- You... - How could I not know how you feel?

Mrs. Fu.

When you framed my brother,

did you think about how his family felt?

What you felt for a few hours...

is what my family experienced for many years.

You stabbed me 10 times.

I slapped you just once.

Is this even revenge?

My parents and brother...

are kind-hearted people.

They didn't tell Yan Chen and Xu Qin...

your true colors.

Just because they don't pursue the matter,

doesn't mean I won't.

Whatever you choose,

I'll go along with you.

Back then, my dad kneeled down to you.

Mrs. Fu.

If you really want to apologize,

you can return the kneeling.

I am young.

I'm afraid my life will be shortened.

But if it's on behalf of my brother...

and my family,

I can accept 10 of them.

No.

No.

I'll do it.

Huai Jin!

I'll do it! It's not a big deal!

Huai Jin!

I'll do it.

Let me.

That's enough.

Xu Qin is my sister-in-law.

You're her parents.

If I had accepted that kneeling,

I wouldn't be able to face her.

Mrs. Fu.

You should take responsibility...

for what you've done wrong.

If you bear the responsibility,

naturally, your child won't have to.

I'll go in with you.

Hello.

How can I help you?

I'm here to turn myself in.

Mrs. Fu.

Calm down.

Why don't you just die?

- Be careful. - Why don't you just die?

Do you want me to die?

I thought you were a sensible...

and obedient child.

I didn't expect...

that you would do such a horrible thing...

to force me.

You're really something.

I'm sorry, Mom.

But you did something wrong.

Someone has to take responsibility.

I'm your son.

If you won't take responsibility,

I will.

Fine.

My good son.

You're forcing me to die.

I'm not forcing you.

I'm in so much pain right now.

I don't know what to do.

Each and everyone of you...

thinks that I'm evil.

You want to cut ties with me...

and cut ties...

with this family.

Fine.

As you wish.

You're free now.

Come on, everyone.

Come here.

Gather round.

I'll update you on the situation.

Currently,

we have solid evidence.

It was recorded clearly in the video from the witness.

Nothing happened.

It was all planned by Ye Zi alone.

- What? - How is that possible?

You said it before.

If you accused the innocent,

you'd publish an apology in the newspaper.

Our kindness was taken advantage of.

This is horrible!

- How could Ye Zi do this? - That's right.

You must feel guilty.

You incited cyberbullying...

from a one-sided story.

Be careful in the future.

All right. It's fine now.

Go back to school.

Go now.

- Go to class. - Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, sir. - Go on.

That's right. Ye Zi is too much.

We stood here all day for nothing.

Yan Chen.

Are you hungry?

Do you want to have skewers at Ms. Hong's?

Sure.

Or if you're tired,

we can order takeout.

Anything is fine.

Qin Qin.

I have something to take care of.

You go ahead.

Yan Chen.

Everyone should take responsibility for their own actions.

I know.

I'm fine now.

Don't worry.

Excuse me.

I want to see Ye Zi.

She's under criminal custody.

Only lawyers can see her.

What if...

I drop the criminal charges against her...

and apply for a settlement?

Then can I request a visitation...

as a friend?

(Fuming Police Station)

How's your brother?

He's fine.

Let me see.

What's wrong?

Why do you keep crying?

Crybaby.

All right.

Let's go.

(Fuming Police Station, Yancheng)

Why are you here?

To show your compassion for a girl who has lost her footing?

If you wanted money,

you could've just asked me.

You didn't have to do this.

So you think...

I should be grateful to you...

for throwing some scrap paper at me?

You know it.

That's not what I meant.

Then what do you mean?

Isn't someone like me only qualified to talk about money with you?

I'm poor.

That's why it's a sin to even have feelings for someone.

You obviously don't like me.

Then why did you provoke me?

You don't think working at a bar is suitable for me.

You're the one who introduced me to a job.

You're the one who asked me to go to a concert with you.

You're also the one who's worried I'd go astray with plastic surgery!

It's all you, isn't it?

Mr. Meng.

I just don't want you to go astray.

You don't want me to go astray?

Do I need your charity?

Are you my savior?

I just want...

your life to be better.

What?

You can't bear to see me suffer?

Initially,

my world was completely dark.

Suddenly, a ray of light came in.

My heart suddenly lit up.

Is it...

Is it wrong for me to want to get closer to it?

What exactly am I to you?

A program that can be deleted at any time?

A disgusting moth?

I won't hold charges against you.

Do you think...

you're good by repaying evil with kindness?

Sometimes, I wish you were...

a despicable person, a scumbag instead!

It's better than what you are now.

Meng Yan Chen!

Who do you think you are?

Meng Yan Chen!

Who do you think you are?

(Vice President's Office)

(Medical Responsibility)

I'll let you in on a little gossip.

I heard...

that Mr. Liu...

was arrested for some serious crime...

and was taken away.

Really?

For what crime?

I'm not sure.

Anyway, I never really liked him.

Officer Huang.

Mr. Guo.

After our higher law department and bureau chiefs...

have reviewed the case,

we believe that since Fu Wen Ying...

has turned herself in...

and is suffering from a serious illness,

she won't be a threat to society.

Therefore, it has been decided...

that she will be released on bail, pending trial.

She has been informed...

and has signed the paperwork.

So during the period of bail,

she's not to leave the place of execution without authorization.

If there's anything, let me know.

Surely. Thank you.

Thank you.

(Bed 28)

Thank you, doctor.

- Call me if you need anything. - Okay.

Song Yan's sister...

is quite capable.

That's enough.

Stop thinking too much.

Don't think...

because she helped Yan Chen,

I'll accept Song Yan.

It's impossible.

But in my opinion,

our Qin Qin...

will never part from him.

Huai Jin.

So many things...

have happened between our families.

Do you think...

we can be a family?

Do you really think...

I don't know what you've done all these years?

No.

I didn't interfere,

ask questions or make decisions.

I even...

pretended not to know.

That's because...

some of the things...

benefited me.

You played the bad person,

while I got all the credit.

That was wrong of me.

It's not entirely your fault.

So...

don't get caught up in the grievance...

all by yourself.

Okay?

You heard...

everything I said that night?

You won't come home again, right?

Even though Mom and Dad were wrong,

you didn't have to hurt them in such a way.

Have you thought about it?

If there wasn't a witness who had the evidence,

your life would've been ruined.

Why are you doing this?

At that time,

I just didn't want to do anything.

Maybe Mom and Dad did something that disappointed you.

But no one is perfect.

To want them to live a perfect life without mistakes...

is harsh too.

Can you...

convince yourself with these words?

Qin Qin.

Don't you hate our family?

I don't have the right to hate.

I just feel sorry for Song Yan.

Now I finally understand...

why after all this time,

you still choose to be with him.

Because he's determined enough...

to never let you go.

Even after so many hardships,

you and him...

will only be together in the end.

Yan Chen.

Live for yourself.

Okay?

That teacher's lecture today...

was really interesting.

She still has the nerves to come back.

Stop it.

Why can't I speak?

We stood up for her just so she wouldn't be wronged.

We took her as a friend,

but she used us as tools.

All right.

Let's go eat.

Miao Miao, let's go.

You guys go ahead.

You're the one who has it the worst!

What was the use of doing so much for the account?

I'm sorry.

In the end, you were tricked by your lousy partner.

(Molecular Biology)

I'm sorry, Zhai Miao.

I promised to review the account with you.

Now you don't even have an account because of me.

What do you plan to do in the future?

I don't even know if I have a future now.

Don't look down on yourself.

Do you blame me?

I'm actually glad you stepped up.

Otherwise...

I might have lost the chance...

to turn back.

I really take you as a friend.

Goodbye.

Qin Qin.

Dad.

In a few days,

your mom can come home to recuperate.

I wonder...

if you can take some time to see her.

Qin Qin.

You might not believe...

what I say.

But...

if it were you who was in trouble,

your mom would also do everything for you.

I admit.

We're not good parents.

Instead of our children's feelings,

what we prioritized...

was interest.

But I still want to tell you this.

Whether it's me or your mom,

we treat you and Yan Chen...

all the same.

If Yan Chen suffers,

Mom will be heartbroken.

But when I suffer,

does it break her heart too?

If it does,

is it the same pain she has for my brother?

Mom asked me...

how I could hurt my parents because of a man.

But when she was ruining the person I love the most,

did she not think that she was hurting me?

If she did think...

that it would hurt me,

does it break her heart too?

But Dad,

for what happened to Song Yan,

I can't forgive her.

But Qin Qin,

we're a family.

A family...

is bound together for life.

Throughout life,

there will be ups and downs.

How can you...

cut ties so easily?

There's a problem now.

We can discuss and resolve it.

How can we resolve it?

Do we give him a degree or a future?

Dad.

Have you thought about it?

Given Song Yan's personality,

he can't stand the slightest humiliation.

Even if the king of heaven bullies him,

he will fight back.

But he has never thought...

of exposing the matter to the public.

The Meng family has many rivals.

But he never said a word.

He let you off the hook.

What else do you want from him?

Is it for my sake...

because you're my parents?

Or is it...

so we could eat together?

Some conflicts...

can't be resolved by a meal or two.

Dad, I'm really tired.

I don't want to face these things anymore.

I don't want to cry anymore.

All right.

Let's not talk about it.

Let's not talk about the past.

The days are long.

We'll take it slow.

But I'll say this again.

There are no obstacles...

a family can't overcome.

Thank you for coming.

I'll take you to the hospital. It's on the way.

It's nearby.

There's traffic at the hospital.

When you have decided on the wedding date,

you must tell me.

Qin Qin.

Excuse me.

She was discharged this afternoon.

I see.

Yan Er.

Keep an eye out for your uncle.

He can't see well because of his old age.

Okay.

Actually, a person is like a house.

After a while,

it becomes old, worn out, and has a lot of problems.

It becomes easily despised.

Why are you offended?

Which one of your eyes saw me despise you?

There are four leaks.

Look carefully and fill them all up.

Otherwise, our house will have an ocean view.

The view at our house...

is just as good as an ocean view.

Right, Xu Qin?

Yes.

What a pity. It's going to be demolished.

We've lived here for decades.

I really can't bear to move out.

Why did you come up?

I came to help.

Take a break.

Yan Er.

Your house.

How's the preparation going?

Uncle.

It's almost done.

Just a little bit more.

- That's good. - Dear.

Come and give me a hand.

Coming.

I'll do the laundry.

Just rest. I'll do it.

Li Meng.

This is for you.

What is it?

Water it once every seven days.

- Slow down. - Hold on tight, Dr. Xu.

Am I heavy?

Put me down.

Dad.

Why are you here?

I...

Mom.

Why aren't Song Yan and Xu Qin back yet?

Don't worry.

Your brother has informed her.

They'll be back for dinner.

- They're back. - Song Yan, Xu Qin.

Uncle, Aunt, Zhai Miao.

This is my dad.

Hello.

I came uninvited.

Sorry to bother you.

Don't say that.

You're too formal.

Thank you.

Mr. Meng, please have a seat.

Yes. We have some food.

If you don't mind,

why don't you join us for dinner?

All right.

I won't stand on ceremony.
