=Episode 19=

This time, Carry has really put her heart into it.

I originally thought she would come by herself.

Unexpectedly, she found someone even more suitable than herself.

Wherever Mr. Lu goes, there's always something to talk about.

- Mr. Yi. - Mr. Yi.

Hello, Ms. Meng.

There have always been many rumors about Mr. Lu.

I'm very curious.

What kind of girl could catch Mr. Lu's eye?

Mr. Lu, we are all good friends.

Just reveal the mystery generously.

Satisfy our curiosity, will you?

- Right. - Yes.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

Aren't you here to help me clarify?

(I'm here to assert my authority.)

Look at me, forgetting things.

Of course, only the talented and beautiful Ms. Yao

is the one who can match Mr. Lu.

Right?

Yes.

Everyone, don't be too hasty.

It only counts if Mr. Lu announces it himself.

Mr. Lu, say something, will you?

Are you hiding something from me?

I may lack dating experience, but I'm not naive.

Listen, I...

It must be your Mr. Lu.

Hurry and take it.

Don't miss his apology.

Mr. Liu?

What good could come from him calling me?

What if it's about Lu Cenyang?

Answer the call.

See?

Mr. Lu has us all on tenterhooks.

Mr. Lu,

if you don't satisfy our curiosity,

I'm afraid none of us will enjoy our drinks.

Is Ms. Yao your girlfriend?

(If you refuse to do as I say,)

(I will spin the tale)

(of Lu Mingyu's past of abandoning his wife and child all over the news.)

(It would be quite a shock to your sister, Lu Siqi.)

(Right?)

I knew it.

Earlier,

Lu Cenyang and Yao Lefei

were secretly plotting something.

He was announcing his relationship with her.

No wonder Mr. Liu said he'd take you to see a good show.

Since you are so eager to know,

I'll just tell you directly...

Sorry, everyone.

I'm late.

Mr. Lu,

shouldn't I be your female companion today?

Why did you bring Ms. Yao?

Guys,

Mr. Lu is indeed announcing

his relationship with me.

It's a pity

that I just encountered a little interlude

and got delayed.

Why are you all staring at me like that?

You don't think

I am Mr. Lu's girlfriend, do you?

Well,

I have the most tacit understanding of him as a subordinate.

Right, Mr. Lu?

Of course.

I admire Carry's magnanimous personality the most.

All of you must know

that where Carry is, there is never a dull moment.

Yes,

Mr. Lu, stop beating around the bush.

Could it be that both Carry and Ms. Yao

have been taken under your wing?

Meeting this way on such an occasion, you wouldn't be

too embarrassed to acknowledge it, would you?

I know

what you all say about me behind my back.

Today, taking this opportunity,

I'll also clear my own name properly.

Well,

if I were to really find a boyfriend,

I would definitely choose a younger man who listens to me.

I wouldn't go for a dominant CEO like Mr. Lu.

Carry really knows how to joke.

What is Carry up to?

Isn't she afraid of her identity being exposed?

You're right.

However, my identity

is not something that needs to be hidden anymore.

Carry,

I've known all about your background for a while.

You're Ms. Hua's person, aren't you?

Logically speaking, if I'd taken a liking to Bu Ran,

she would have more opportunities to hinder me.

But why do you follow other people's orders

against Ms. Hua's wishes?

Mr. Lu, I'm sorry.

I had no choice.

If you

appear as my girlfriend,

it must be hard for you to explain it to Ms. Hua.

And it means someone offered a higher price than Ms. Hua.

Who is that?

Besides Yi Mincai and his wife,

I can't think of others

who want to embarrass Bu Ran.

Do you know that I still have evidence

of Yi Mincai

and Meng Kexin's smuggling accounts with a shell company?

Do you think you can get your cut?

Mr. Lu, I'm sorry.

Please let me off the hook.

Do as I say.

I can overlook

whose side you were on before.

So, Mr. Lu,

Carry is not who you love.

Then it must be Ms. Yao.

As all you expect,

- I... - Mr. Lu.

Look. Everyone is so curious.

Stop keeping us in suspense.

You might as well tell us.

My girlfriend

is neither Carry nor Ms. Yao.

It's Bu Ran, the best designer in our company.

- It's her. - See? I told you.

I heard it was Bu Ran all along.

You all know Bu Ran, right?

She and Mr. Lu make a perfect match.

Mr. Lu originally planned to bring Bu Ran here today.

But she hasn't fully recovered from her cold.

So I came on her behalf.

No wonder

Mr. Lu took so much effort

to cultivate Bu Ran, an under-the-radar talent.

It turns out she is your girlfriend.

Ms. Meng, you went to such lengths for this act.

So it was to force Mr. Lu

to reveal

that his girlfriend is your niece?

Alright, now everyone knows.

So, that's it.

I think, in our industry,

there probably won't be anyone competing

for Mr. Yi's future nephew-in-law anymore, right?

What are you blabbering about?

My bad for being nosy.

But since it's already been mentioned,

let's all have a good time.

After all, it's a big piece of good news for the construction industry.

Ladies and gentleme.

Bu Ran is the former CEO of Yihua

and the biological daughter of Yi Minde,

which also makes her the granddaughter of Ms. Hua Lan.

In the future, Yihua and Pinshang will be family.

Mr. Lu, congratulations!

With Yihua and Pinshang joining forces,

it's simply the biggest boon

for the industry.

Indeed.

With such an outstanding nephew-in-law like Mr. Lu,

you must be very pleased, Mr. Yi.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Liu,

let's go over there to talk

and allow Mr. Yi and Ms. Meng

to have a good chat with their nephew-in-law.

Alright.

Take your time.

Please.

Let's go.

Lu Cenyang,

you're really something.

You've even turned Carry against us.

You made these two women

cooperate with you.

Aren't you afraid

that your father's scandal will be exposed?

I didn't just turn Carry.

What is this?

When I investigated Taylor,

I found out your daughter

also nearly fell prey to this scum.

She was afraid you'd worry,

so she sought my help to change her major.

Now she's about to graduate.

She sent me some graduation photos.

I had them developed for you.

My sweetie.

She suffered, and I didn't even know.

If I remember correctly,

your child's overseas study

was facilitated by the Meng family, right?

Xu,

you should tell me if you are having difficulties.

You shouldn't force yourself.

Cenyang,

did you already know all along?

I can understand if you have troubles.

I want to know what she made you do.

I did the thing I feel most guilty about.

It was me who betrayed Qin Xun.

I thought Mr. Liu

had something secretive to tell me.

But he threw Lu Cenyang's big face in my face

to watch me be embarrassed by Lu Cenyang.

I've made a name for myself in this industry.

In the future, I will refuse his offer

to show me the world.

Those who are at the scene today

will surely make fun of me.

Who knows if Cenyang

is deliberately using you to anger the Yis?

Don't get too cocky.

You are such a buzzkiller.

I am happy if the Yi Family is irritated.

I'm in a good mood today.

Let me treat you to a barbecue.

We'll buy lots of delicious food.

Can't you see I'm busy?

Rain check?

Alright, go ahead. I'm leaving now.

Let's barbecue later.

(Lu Cenyang)

What do you want?

Okay.

See you at the Old Pal's.

The taste seems different.

It was me who called Siqi.

I know.

Xu told me

that you were Siqi's brother.

Aren't you curious about why I did this?

Apart from testing my true feelings on behalf of Bu Ran,

I can't think of a second reason.

You didn't tell the Yi Family about Siqi

being Yao Lefei.

That shows you didn't really plan to harm me.

No wonder you said

that the coffee tastes different.

The reason is that you're overthinking it.

This is the diary of Dad before he dies.

I think you would want to take a look at it.

Ms. Hua,

the investigation into Qin Xun has been completed.

Good.

Notify everyone

to suspend the search for Lu Siqi.

Yes.

Speak.

Ms. Hua, I don't quite understand.

We went through so much trouble

to search for Lu Siqi.

Why suspend it suddenly now?

Previously, I didn't take Lu Cenyang seriously.

But we have been defeated

after so many confrontations.

Lu Cenyang likes to exploit our weak points.

Of course, we also need to find his vulnerability.

Is Lu Siqi his vulnerability?

It's Lu Mingyu.

Although Lu Mingyu is dead,

Lu Cenyang

owes a debt of gratitude for Lu Mingyu's nurturing.

Naturally, he values his son and daughter.

And they are

the best weapons to be used

against Lu Cenyang.

Now, Qin Xun has surfaced.

And the woman he holds dear

is also Lu Cenyang's girlfriend.

Everything about Qin Xun

has been taken by Lu Cenyang.

What kind of feelings do you think he has?

(Today is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.)

(It's Lu Xun's birthday.)

(The moon is full, but not the family.)

(When you were by my side in the past,)

(no matter how busy I was,)

(I would always buy a cake and make time to return home,)

(and we three would sing birthday songs and eat cake together.)

(Now it's just me alone.)

(I don't know how tall or how heavy my son is now.)

(I wonder if he misses his dad.)

(Lu Xun,)

(your mom insisted on going abroad.)

(But I couldn't abandon the company I had just started.)

(In a fit of anger, she took you abroad, so I couldn't see you.)

(I miss you very much.)

(The letters I mailed)

(and the people I sent)

(have heard nothing of you.)

(I will never give up looking for you.)

(My son,)

(I hope you can forgive me)

(when we meet again.)

You saw the diary?

I'm sorry.

I revealed your identity to the Yi Family.

I know.

It was for the daughter.

If you want to blame me,

I have nothing to say.

You want to use yourself as an example,

saying there is no father in the world who doesn't love his children?

Your father must have missed you,

and he hoped even more that you could live on without hatred.

Forgiveness is hard.

But forgiveness allows one to live with ease.

♪What exactly is wrong and what is right♪

What you say makes sense.

So I forgive you.

But

you have to give me a raise

and grant me days off.

Otherwise, I will quit.

Cenyang said if you're willing,

he would welcome you back to Pinshang.

I don't want to owe him any favors.

It's off-work time.

Hello?

You only think of me after it gets dark.

I'm home.

Where are you?

I'm at the Old Pal's.

You went there full of dissatisfaction with me, right?

The two of you must have had a great time cursing me.

Are you hungry?

I'll cook noodles for you.

You argued with your girlfriend during the day.

At night, you cook noodles as amends.

Your change of attitude is even more dramatic than opera.

Too bad I don't appreciate such gestures.

I've had my fill at Old Pal's.

I'm not hungry.

What a pity!

The noodles I cooked with the broth I made are fragrant and delicious.

One bite leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

It's so satisfying.

If you're not hungry,

I'll just have to eat two bowls myself.

I'm sorry.

I didn't do well enough.

Sorry for what?

What did you do wrong?

I've failed your kindness.

I didn't explain it well to you.

And I lost my temper with you.

It was my fault.

Your apology is quite proper.

As your boyfriend,

I can't be without merit, right?

Otherwise, why would my girlfriend be with me?

I am with you for your good looks, money, discernment, and ability

to cook noodles.

I'm honored.

Are you hungry?

Then let's have noodles.

About Yao Lefei...

Lu Cenyang,

I've figured it out.

I was wrong to lose my temper at you that day.

Although you are my boyfriend,

you don't have to tell me

everything.

You also need to have your own personal space.

In the future, if you think certain things

are better known by fewer people,

you don't have to tell me,

even if I'm your girlfriend.

I trust you completely.

Let's eat.

Are they that delicious?

I respect your labor's fruits.

Slow down.

When you're done, I'll cook more for you.

That's enough.

After this bowl, I'm going to start losing weight.

I've been angry and eating a lot these past few days.

I've gained weight.

Others can't eat when they're angry.

You're quite unique.

Can't I make an excuse for my gluttony?

Why expose me?

The noodles aren't tempting anymore.

Then this weekend, I'll take you out for some fresh air.

I'd like to, but I don't have time.

The redesign of the ancient alley

is still being revised continually.

I have an idea that kills two birds with one stone.

Bu Ran! Bu Ran!

Don't hit me.

My shoelace is untied.

Don't chase. Watch out, or you'll fall.

That's for scaring me.

I won't do that again.

Sorry for what happened.

I wasn't surprised

that my uncle and his wife used such a foolish trick.

But I didn't expect Carry

to actually help in the end.

Even the sliest person has moments of helplessness.

As long as you understand her,

she will naturally stand by your side.

I will also try to learn to understand your helplessness in the future.

My helplessness is

that you turn around at the drop of a hat,

either wanting to move out or ignoring me.

You're the only one I can't deal with.

I've reflected. I will correct myself.

I have always felt

that meeting you was the luckiest thing

in my life.

I hope we can be together

forever.

How can you guarantee that?

I'll use the luck I've accumulated over 30 years of my life

and bet it all on you.

This should be enough.

Let's go.

Go where?

If you are looking for inspiration,

you'll need to walk around and see more.

Can't we take a longer break?

After all, it's a date for us.

You're tired after just a little walk?

Didn't you promise to walk with me forever?

Then I still have to ask my dad

why he chose you.

You don't even care about my knees.

Can you speak

for me in front of your dad now?

Put me down.

Your knees won't be able to take it like this.

You're so light. It's no problem.

Alright then.

I'll just enjoy the benefits of having a boyfriend.

(Lu Cenyang's Moments)

(Yi Mincai)

Hello?

Qin Xun,

now it's your turn to stand out.

United,

we'll surely teach Lu Cenyang a lesson.

Not just Bu Ran.

I'll help you

retrieve whatever is yours.

Even if I want to teach Lu Cenyang a lesson,

I have my own plan.

Do you think I don't know

that the share transfer agreement you gave me

was an empty promise?

I pretended to agree

only to scout your situation for Bu Ran.

We don't have to contact each other anymore.

You played me?

You will pay for this.

I...

Mom,

Zihe recently enrolled in a management class

to broaden his business insights with the tycoons.

I think he's realized his own shortcomings

and has refocused his efforts.

Refocusing is the right thing to do.

The two of you should make more time for me

and care about him more.

I don't think you should go to the company for the time being.

Arrange the marital alliance as soon as possible

and get him a virtuous wife from a family of equal social status.

Perhaps

I can still have expectations of him.

Mom, Zihe is still young.

His marriage shouldn't be hurried.

I don't want

to repeat my words.

(Yao Lefei)

Ms. Yao called you.

Will you call back?

Her calls to me are all work-related.

I just want to be with you today.

It's been a long day.

How about a massage?

The left side.

Okay.

Is it comfortable?

Today, we went for an outing, shopped at the supermarket,

bought groceries, and cooked.

How can we're heading straight

into an elderly lifestyle?

We haven't done a single romantic thing as a couple.

What 'elderly lifestyle'?

Then what do you want to do?

I want to stroll the streets,

wear matching couple outfits,

watch the stars and sunrise,

and kiss with you.

(Yao Lefei)

He is back. Why didn't he answer the phone?

Who is it?

It should be Ms. Yao.

Yao...

Help me out.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

You went to the supermarket?

I'll put these in the fridge.

Just leave them there.

I can tidy up myself.

Are you sure?

What made you suddenly decide to go to the supermarket?

You didn't answer my calls or reply to my texts.

You don't need to shop for me anymore.

I can do it myself.

Don't you think the chores are a waste of time?

Grocery shopping by myself isn't fun.

It's too late. You should head back and rest early.

I'm hungry. I'll cook some noodles.

I've been busy all day.

Go and order some takeout.

Let's have some tea before I go.

Tea makes me too alert. I want to go to sleep early.

You and Bu Ran...

We've made up.

It seems my unsolicited initiative at the party

wasn't a disservice after all.

You should be thanking me, really.

Thank you.

But don't ever do that again.

It's late. I'm going to take a hot bath.

You should go get some rest.

Has she left?

I told her that I was taking a hot bath.

Smart move.

But how does Ms. Yao know your home's code?

My mistake. I'll change it right away.

Hey!

Ms. Yao is still outside, you know.
