=Episode 16=

(Mind your own business, Mr. Lu. We're on to Ms. Yi next door.)

Hello.

Boss.

The video Chen Manni identifying Bu Ran as a member of the Yi Family

has been shared by many media outlets.

The topic points to

Bu Ran winning against Chen Manni with the help of Yi Family.

Before public opinion ferments,

I'll have the PR department handle it urgently.

No need.

The fewer people in the company know, the better.

I'll handle it.

(I want to see what your background is.)

(You have the ability to influence the outcome of the competition.)

(The result is really surprising.)

(You're Yi Zihe's cousin.)

No matter what happens,

I'll stand by you.

He has already been good enough to me.

Once he knows my identity,

he must be very disappointed.

Uncle Li,

I don't want to the PR department to deal with Bu Ran's matter.

So I can only ask for your help.

I've helped your father liaise with various media in the past.

Now is a good chance to see how many people

still recognize me.

Hello, Jin?

The major accounts you manage

have posted the video of Bu Ran's altercation with Chen Manni.

Please delete it for my favor.

I want to protect the privacy of our company's employee.

Yang.

It's me.

Alright.

Buddy, the situation is quite tricky.

You must help me out.

Okay.

Just wait a moment.

It's okay now.

Is this Reporter Li from Jiangchen Media?

(How come it's gone?)

(Could he have already seen it?)

I'll talk to him.

I'll say it.

At the worst,

it might be a farewell.

I should be more sincere.

No one is there.

Maybe the property management did it?

And he hasn't come to ask you yet even by now.

Perhaps he didn't see it.

Impossible.

The video has been uploaded and started to get attention online.

He and my colleagues will all see it.

The outcome is decided.

I am mentally prepared.

Bu Ran,

listen carefully.

You're from Yi Family,

and it shouldn't be a shackle you have to bear.

And relax,

Lu Cenyang isn't an unreasonable person.

I'm fine.

It's getting late.

You should go back and rest.

Can you manage on your own?

You can't wrap fire with paper.

I indeed approached him

due to an agreement with my grandma.

Although after I joined Pinshang,

I never accepted grandma's demands.

But I never took the initiative to come clean to him

that I'm from the Yi Family.

If in his shoes,

anyone

would feel disappointed and betrayed

after knowing the truth.

No matter what, I owe him an apology.

I will adjust myself.

I'll call you if anything.

You go back now.

Hello, Yan.

It's me, Lu Cenyang.

Last time you released

that video of Yihua and Taylor in the press conference.

The angle was really spot on.

(I can't hide it from him anymore.)

I just finished a tough negotiation.

I saw you called me many times.

Worried about my blood sugar level?

I always carry the chocolate you gave me.

How come you're awake so early?

I had a good sleep, so I woke up early.

You sound very tired. You stayed up late?

It might be because of the cough.

I want to tell you

that someone splashed paint and wrote on your door.

The property management called me about it.

It's the security guard that I complained about before.

He splashed it.

I haven't gone back yet.

They've already cleaned it up.

Maybe it's because he hates me.

The swear words were pretty nasty?

It's just a small matter.

Don't worry. We'll talk later.

Also,

there are videos of Chen Manni online.

I'd like to explain it to you.

I haven't seen any videos of Chen Manni.

But your fans

edited videos for you about eco-friendly bags.

Everyone says it looks very cool.

Don't be narcissistic.

It must be the eco-friendly bag I had custom-made that's cool.

You didn't see it?

What do you think I should see?

You haven't recovered from your cold.

You'd better rest for a bit.

We'll talk when we meet.

You slept in the car?

I...

I didn't.

I saw you were too anxious.

So I thought I'd come over to you.

Where are you heading?

I'm off to work.

Sorry to have worried you.

Lu Cenyang doesn't blame you.

That's strange.

Did you secretly get a solution?

Those videos Chen Manni talked about me

have all gone.

I don't have such magical powers.

Mysterious.

Could the short video data go wrong?

The data is gone?

Never mind. I'm off to work now.

You didn't sleep well last night.

You can catch some sleep in my car.

Okay.

Thanks, bestie.

Sorry for the trouble.

Hi, Bu Ran.

Morning, Bu Ran.

Morning, Bu Ran.

Morning.

Bu Ran.

Good morning.

Morning.

(Everyone didn't see Chen Manni's video, either?)

Morning.

I really underestimated you.

Able to delete all videos overnight.

Unfortunately, I'm a living witness.

Today, I'm going to tell all the staff at Pinshang.

You are granddaughter of Ms. Hua,

a spy sent by Yihua to Pinshang.

A spy?

What's she talking about? Must be fake, right?

How could she say that about Bu Ran?

Exactly.

Can't she stand to lose?

Chen Manni, accuse with proof.

You said I'm a spy sent by Yihua.

Then let me ask you.

After I came here,

has Pinshang lost to the Yi Family?

People lurking in the rival company

won't be exposed right away.

If you insist on denying your relation with Yihua,

fine.

Last night, I contacted the academy.

I got your student loan information.

It was Ms. Hua who guaranteed your loan.

Never expected she really is a spy sent by Yihua.

Then she's truly a spy.

Exactly.

She shouldn't stay in our company.

It was hard to see.

(Mr. Lu, come to the company quickly.)

Haven't thought Bu Ran is like this.

Exactly.

How could she be like this?

She still has the nerve to be here.

Can't believe that such people exist.

I watched the video.

Never thought

you would stoop to the level of a junior designer at our company.

Well,

are you here to speak for Bu Ran?

Quite the contrary.

My goal aligns with yours.

I particularly despise the Yi Family.

You could say the hatred is deep-rooted.

If you can drive out Bu Ran with me,

then in the future,

we will have many opportunities for deep collaboration.

Well.

Don't you want to work with Pinshang?

Didn't expect her to be a traitor.

I trusted her a lot.

Me too.

How could she do such a thing?

She betrayed the company.

Ms. Yao,

I never thought of betraying Pinshang.

Ms. Yao, please believe me.

Ms. Yao.

Get away, you spy from Yihua.

Let's go.

Right.

She just left like that?

They're from Yihua.

Indeed, unbelievable.

Who is this guy?

They're cold and unfeeling. No need to linger here.

Bu Ran.

Mr. Lu,

I never thought the famous Pinshang

would also be an unreasonable place.

Bu Ran should never have stayed here.

Bu Ran, no matter what others say,

I believe you.

You deleted Chen Manni's video, right?

You knew it all along.

Why pretend not to know?

What is your real motive?

Indeed, Mr. Lu made countless calls

to have these videos deleted.

He didn't sleep at all last night,

calling all the time.

He was worried about Bu Ran.

Mr. Lu,

good deeds should be acknowledged.

Otherwise, how would others know

what you are really thinking?

You did PR for me on all websites last night?

Yes.

And

I've known for a long time that you're the daughter of Yi Minde.

Lu Cenyang,

you wouldn't be planning

to keep Bu Ran

and exploit her trust in you.

So someday you can turn the tables on Yihua.

This man is too scheming. Let's go.

I don't want Yi Family

to become an obstacle between us.

Because

I like you.

I really, really like you.

♪So foolish, yet throwing caution to the wind♪

♪Constantly reminiscing, we once loved until it became unreal♪

♪Regret is always too late, but I miss you so much♪

♪I miss you, and I can only deceive myself♪

Lu Cenyang,

you not only want people's life

but also want them to give their hearts.

Bu Ran,

it's a blessing in disguise.

We have seen his insidious plot.

Let's go.

Let's get away from him.

♪I miss you. I can only deceive myself♪

♪Piecing together emotions, saying it's okay♪

♪Even breathing is evidence of having loved♪

♪I miss you, and the tears in my eyes show I care♪

♪You determine all the plots♪

♪I miss you, and my loneliness is never quiet♪

I seem to have said the wrong thing.

It's okay.

Bu Ran was clearly set up by someone.

I don't know what will happen next.

I'll settle accounts with them.

Uncle Li, I have a favor to ask of you.

For someone like Bu Ran,

she should be moving out very soon.

I hope you can help me delay the time.

Okay.

(Though my wife often scolded me,)

(fortunately, this woman)

(has quite effective tricks against Bu Ran.)

(The generous gift given to Bu Ran)

(is spot on.)

Let's go.

Ms. Bu, happy birthday.

Is this a benefit prepared by property management for homeowners?

No.

It's because I did something that violated professional ethics.

And it affected your life.

I am sorry.

Ms. Bu,

Mr. Lu said if I don't get your forgiveness,

I won't have good days ahead.

What did you do?

I...

Explain clearly.

I...

I took a bribe from Mr. Yi Mincai.

He wanted me to tail after Bu Ran and Mr. Lu.

He gave me some money

to splash paint and write those words

to expose that Ms. Bu is

from the Yi Family.

How dare you come here?

Qin Xun,

I want to talk to him.

So it was Uncle who made you expose me?

Yes.

But I'm just doing my job for the payment.

Could you please forgive me?

I won't hold it against you, you can go.

Ms. Bu,

then, could you give Mr. Lu a call

and tell him that you don't hold a grudge against me?

Otherwise, I'll lose my job.

I'm begging you, please.

Bu Ran,

this could be another trick of Lu Cenyang.

I'm begging you.

It'll be good if you forgive him.

If I'm not mistaken,

you and Qin Xun have already packed up,

ready to move out.

Don't rush off.

Today is your solar birthday.

Wait for me.

I will go to Yihua to get you a special gift.

Go.

After you receive the gift,

you can decide.

Thank you.

What brings you here so suddenly?

I wanted to inquire about something with Ms. Hua.

When my father signed a contract with you at the villa years ago,

I met a student,

who was kneeling in the rain, seeking your help for her studies.

Is she your granddaughter?

I have only one grandson.

I heard that your eldest son, Yi Minde, has a daughter.

Yi Minde has already severed ties with us.

His daughter has nothing to do with me.

Even if I did help a student,

it was an act of kindness.

Then let me get straight to the point.

Someone can't stand to see Ran doing well,

and has been playing dirty,

exposing her as a member of the Yi Family.

It very embarrassed her at Pinshang.

But actually,

I have known her true identity for a long time.

As I empathize with her circumstances,

I've given her more help and care.

Mr. Lu,

whom you want to help and care is your business.

You don't need to report to us.

I want to tell Ms. Hua

that Bu Ran's real identity

was exposed by your own people.

It Indicates serious infighting within the Yi Family.

I had been wondering

if it was because Yihua was too formidable

to take me seriously.

So you resort to such clumsy means.

Or it was simply very low-level.

The former Yihua is the one

I truly want to take revenge on.

As for you now,

I might as well provoke infighting among you.

You're not worth my effort.

Stop beating around the bush.

You say there's infighting among us.

Do you have evidence?

Chen Manni, to redeem her dignity,

constantly picks on Bu Ran,

losing both status and grace.

I never understood why.

Unless someone offers a handsome reward

to buy her off.

Ms. Hua,

as for the person who did it,

you are able to find out quite easily.

The Yi Family never had infighting.

Mr. Lu,

you don't need to

deliberately instigate trouble here.

Ms. Hua, you really keep a tight lip.

Then let me guess what's on your mind.

Actually, as for what Bu Ran is to you,

I have thought about it before.

And only after talking to Uncle Minde did I realize

due to Uncle Minde's disobedience,

Ms. Hua never regards Bu Ran as her own granddaughter.

While you dote on Yi Zihe,

you are harsh to Bu Ran,

forcing Uncle Minde to support Bu Ran

to come to Pinshang.

You must be very clear in your mind

that relying on a rookie designer

won't deal me any severe blow.

You have expectations for Bu Ran,

hoping she can be valued at Pinshang

and then fall hard again,

thus to intensify the conflict between me and Uncle Minde.

The third party benefits from the tussle.

I advise you to drop this idea.

It's no use.

Stop being so self-righteous here.

You couldn't possibly guess what my mom is thinking.

Otherwise, you might as well take over Yihua.

Enough with this.

Mr. Lu,

what is your purpose for coming here?

I've just come to show my stance.

Bu Ran is the woman I like.

Whoever dares to scheme against her,

I will make sure they pay back double.

Lu Cenyang,

this is Yihua headquarters.

It's not your turn to threaten us.

Mr. Yi has bought off the security at Fortune Pavilion.

Do you know why I haven't exposed it all along?

Because I want to track down with clues,

tracing the security's source of income.

The money you gave to the security

came from a shareholder

of the gallery, a shell company, right?

Then it's best you be sensible.

Or else,

the Yi Family's use of a shell company for money laundering

is something I believe the public would be very interested in.

Mincai, get down to it now.

Find out which audacious employee

took it upon themselves to create a shell company

and engaged in illegal activities behind Yihua's back.

Once found out, punish severely without leniency.

To thank Mr. Lu for his kind reminder,

you should thoroughly investigate.

Whoever has been troubling Bu Ran,

dismiss and settle with all of them.

It's best this way.

If I find out you're scheming against Bu Ran again,

I will certainly squeeze out your tears

to water the flowers.

(Bu Ran is Hua Lan's granddaughter.)

(When she came here,)

it was just as Chen Manni said,

she came to be a spy.

A spy?

Really a spy?

Of course she is.

Otherwise, why wouldn't she stick with Yihua?

Why come to us?

Hello, Mr. Lu.

Right.

Then she really has ill intentions.

That makes sense.

Everybody be quiet.

Mr. Lu wants you to hear this.

When my father signed the contract with you at the villa,

I met a student,

who was kneeling in the rain, seeking your help for her studies.

Is she your granddaughter?

She's over there.

What would you like to drink? Xun'll get it for you.

Thank you.

Sorry for being late.

Not at all.

I actually have something to tell you.

After I finish moving,

I will return the keys to you as soon as possible.

I will send

the resignation letter to the HR email tomorrow.

I lied that I didn't know about your identity.

Because I wanted you

to do what you truly want at Pinshang.

It caused you trouble.

I apologize to you.

I'm sorry.

I am the one who should apologize.

When I first approached you, I did have an ulterior motive.

But from the moment I accepted your invitation,

the agreement with my grandmother was voided.

I came to Pinshang

simply because I want to be

a genuine interior designer.

I know.

And what about you?

Have you ever thought about exploiting my identity

to go against the Yis?

That did cross my mind.

For what happened back then,

your dad had no choice,

and he paid the price for his actions

indeed.

But my father is dead.

Though it wasn't intentional,

the result cannot be changed.

I could hate everyone in the Yi Family,

including you.

But later I realized

that the reason why you're not favored by Ms. Hua

is because your whole family

does not want to collude with Yihua.

So,

I want to compensate you for my once ill intentions

by giving you more opportunities.

Thank you for your kindness.

Had I known earlier,

I wouldn't have had to bear this pressure.

Now that it's out in the open,

it's actually a relief, isn't it?

I guess the reason why you've always disliked celebrating your birthday

has something to do with Ms. Hua, right?

Why ask about this all of a sudden?

I have only one grandson.

I heard that your eldest son, Yi Minde, has a daughter.

Yi Minde has already severed ties with us.

His daughter has nothing to do with me.

Even if I did help a student,

it was an act of kindness.

Although Chen Manni dug up the fact

that Ms. Hua was your guarantor for the student loan,

Ms. Hua has personally admitted

she was simply doing a good deed,

without acknowledging that you are a Yi.

So, what Chen Manni said,

that you are a mole sent by Ms. Hua,

is unfounded.

You don't have to worry about the company's side.

Word of Ms. Hua distancing herself from you

has already reached the company.

Not only will everyone know the truth,

but they'll also admire you for wanting to do good design,

even at the risk of opposing Ms. Hua.

That's quite impressive.

This is the gift you got at Yihua

for my birthday?

But it's too risky

for you to openly challenge Yihua

like this for my sake.

Now you know

the pressure I'm about to face, right?

Are you still insisting on resigning,

leaving me to fight alone?

How can I

control your business competition?

Since our colleague relationship can't keep you,

then I can only switch to a more solid one

to keep you by my side.

♪I can do everything for you♪

♪I can do everything for you♪

Earlier on your lunar birthday,

I wanted to surprise you,

but it ended up with us both catching a cold.

Today is your solar birthday,

and I want to make amends.

Why would you catch a cold on that day?

If you wear the thin bodyguard uniform

and stay in the mountains for an hour,

you will catch a cold too.

You...

(Pinshang)

The flowers are really beautiful.

How is it?

Looking at the flowers should have improved your mood a lot, right?

Mr. Li,

Boss went to Hua Lan for Bu Ran.

He revealed the Yi Family's secrets.

Why didn't you stop him?

So your mood is bad because of this?

Aren't you worried?

The high-level executives

of Yihua finally made a mistake.

For Bu Ran, he exposed the trump card.

Boss was impulsive.

I am worried that he has forgotten his original intention.

Mr. Lu could easily turn the table

and let the Yis fix the problem.

This indicates that those things

are not his real trump card at all.

To beat Yihua,

simply seizing the mistakes of them

is just a small tactic.

What Mr. Lu wants

is to shake Hua Lan's faith.

Whether it's competition or business,

being heartless

might not make one invincible.

Just like growing flowers,

you need sunlight,

and also warmth.

With these,

they can bloom and spread,

rapidly growing upwards.

You once said

celebrating a birthday needs something very special.

Then see if my preparation

can withstand your scrutiny.

This is decades-old Pu'er tea.

Give it a try.

Are you celebrating my birthday or my longevity,

old man?

You don't like it?

Forget it.

It's kind of you anyway.

You are not quite the same as before.

Why?

I'm just a little nervous.

- Happy birthday to Miss Bu Ran. - Happy birthday to Miss Bu Ran.

- I miss you both so much. - I miss you both so much.

You and the prince haven't come to see us for a long time.

We are having a great time in the new classrooms.

There are many fun toys.

We're waiting for you and the prince to come and play with us.

Come quickly.

The children of the orphanage

say that we are the prince and princess.

I never want to let them down.

In what?

At least,

the prince must make the princess happy.

There's more to come.
