=Episode 20=

She said she was at the door?

Did you see her?

You didn't pay.

I'm coming.

Gao Xiajing.

(Trust Lovely Pet Hospital) Do you need anything?

- Here's the thing. - Gao Xiajing.

Mr. Zhu,

what are you doing here?

I was about to ask you.

What are you doing here?

Oh, right.

Mimi is in heat.

I brought her to the hospital to get spayed.

She's stayed here for two days.

I came to take her home today.

Hello, I'm Mimi's owner.

Could you please check for me

how Mimi's doing?

She had the surgery the day before yesterday, right?

Right.

I'll check for you.

Okay.

Is Mimi the one that Dr. Duan operated on?

Yes, that's right.

Could you please take a look?

If she has recovered well,

could you help pack her things?

I'm taking her home today.

Alright, please wait a moment.

Thank you.

What a coincidence, Mr. Zhu,

to run into you here.

Did you drive here today?

Yes, I did.

That's great.

As you know,

many drivers

are unwilling to let kittens ride in the backseat.

Given Mimi's condition now,

I can't bear to put her in the trunk.

I don't know if it's convenient

to catch a ride with you back.

It's not convenient today.

Right.

You're currently suspended pending investigation.

It's not good to cause you trouble.

It will bring you a bad reputation.

Besides,

your ex-wife wouldn't be happy.

It's still best to avoid any impropriety.

I won't trouble you.

I'll go in and check on Mimi.

Goodbye.

Moli.

Where is she?

You couldn't catch up with you running so fast just now?

It's not the point.

It's that I'm still not certain.

Uncertain about what?

I met Gao Xiajing.

See?

So what do you think now?

I'm definitely suspicious of her.

But you know what?

The explanation she just gave me

was really flawless.

Those words

were all delivered with a tone and rhythm that felt right.

She even said she wanted to take my car home.

It must have been her.

It can't be that coincidental.

Just think about it.

You were just sitting by the window.

She was standing on the overpass opposite.

She must have seen you.

And she must have seen me too.

How clever she is!

She could realize at a glance

that you're the bait and I'm the hunter.

So she turned around and left,

refusing to meet.

Is it really that terrible?

You're convinced it's her?

Zhu Jincao,

she's not as great as you think.

Yes, Moli.

I admit it.

I feel sympathy for her.

Think about it.

A woman raising a child

and struggling in this city on her own.

It's not easy at all.

I really can't imagine it.

If she really is Insomniac Gale,

that would be so frightening.

You just don't understand women.

Have you ever thought about it?

If you hadn't forgotten your status or responsibilities,

whether it was Insomniac Gale

or Gao Xiajing,

or the two of them together,

they wouldn't have hurt you at all.

Let alone hurt me.

Hello?

Hello.

Okay, okay.

I'll be right there.

I have to go now.

I'll drive you.

No need.

Sir, hello.

May I know how I can help you?

I'd like to ask,

have you seen this cat around here?

It lives nearby and is called Mimi.

Take a look.

Mimi belongs to Ms. Gao

who lives in the neighborhood.

Right.

What's wrong?

I want to ask,

was its sterilization surgery

done here?

Yes.

Ms. Gao just brought it here a few days ago

for the surgery.

It's recovering quite well.

Who is it?

Mr. Zhu.

Can I help you?

I have something to ask you.

Come in then.

What is it?

Sit.

I talked to Gao Xiajing.

Listen to this.

Where was Mimi's sterilization surgery done?

In the Trust Lovely Pet Hospital.

Didn't we see each other there that day?

Are you sure?

Of course.

How do you explain this?

I went to the Aibao Pet Hospital

near the entrance gate and asked.

The surgery was done there.

So that day, you went to the cafe

for me, right?

I admit it.

Mimi's sterilization surgery

was done at the Aibao Pet Hospital

at the entrance of our community.

That day,

I happened to run into you

and Gu Moli at the cafe.

I'm sorry.

I lied to you at that time.

But I just

didn't want to get caught between you and Gu Moli.

That's all.

So you are Insomniac Gale, right?

What's that?

Would you like to show me your phone?

I want to take a look

at your usernames.

Do you distrust me that much?

Yes.

Okay.

Here.

Is it there?

Did you find it?

Did you find the username, Insomniac Gale?

You know

I am a single mother.

I'm busy with work and my child

every day.

I don't have time to play games.

Have I told you

Insomniac Gale and I

got to know each other through a game?

Where is the phone you use for gaming?

Where is it? Hidden away?

Why do you force me to admit it?

Why did you do that?

Why did you snap pictures of Gu Moli at the gym?

Why did you spread those rumors

on the public account?

Why did you send Moli that anonymous message

on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Why?

To keep my family from getting together?

You know that Ke can't eat ice cream.

Why did you let her eat so much?

What on earth do you want?

What are your intentions?

You're already divorced.

Why do you still take Gu Moli's side all the time?

Yes, I am divorced.

I am divorced,

but Gu Moli is my ex-wife,

my family.

I'm divorced, but Ke is always my child.

You used such insidious means against them.

Do you think I wouldn't care?

Gao Xiajing,

I think

I have never done bad things

to you, right?

Zhu Jincao,

you really don't understand

why I did it?

Because I like you.

I posted the gym photos online

because someone wanted to slander you,

and I wanted to speak out for you.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival,

Ke ate the ice cream I made.

I really didn't mean it.

I thought about telling you,

but I was afraid.

I was afraid you would misunderstand me.

I was afraid Gu Moli would make trouble for me.

I also admit

I sent the anonymous messages online.

But

I just wanted Gu Moli to understand it.

I wanted her to realize

who is truly right for you

and who truly loves you.

You are so good, so outstanding,

but she doesn't cherish you at all

and also doesn't let you go.

I wanted to make her give up.

But I never hid it from you

from the very beginning.

All I think about is only her.

I love only her.

Have you

never liked me at all?

Not in the past, not now,

and definitely not in the future.

It will never happen.

But I like you.

Even if you don't care about me,

I will still worry about you and defend you at every turn.

I carefully protect

my feelings for you.

But what do you take me for?

A homewrecker.

A bad woman.

Why do you keep helping me?

Time and again, you offer me warmth when I need it.

Why?

I don't believe

adult men can be friends with women.

You're just afraid to admit that you like me, right?

Stop it.

Don't use this absurd logic of yours

to coerce me, okay?

Your words make me sick.

Sick?

You think I'm disgusting now?

How can you stand

on a moral high ground to humiliate me?

I am also a woman.

I am a mother.

Why do you have to humiliate me like this?

Fine, I'll ask you.

Don't you and Gu Moli

have any problems?

You keep saying

you trust each other and there are no grudges between you.

Then why did you divorce?

Can't you just live a good life?

If you trusted each other,

why would your marriage

come to this point today?

No matter how bad things are

between Gu Moli and me,

it is not your place

to make comments.

They are my family

for life.

If you use such despicable means

against them,

I will never let you off.

Why don't you say anything?

What should I say?

During this time, because of Gao Xiajing,

a misunderstanding has arisen between us.

But you heard it too.

Whether it's Gao Xiajing

or Insomniac Gale,

I haven't done anything out of line.

Gao Xiajing got one thing right in all this.

If there's no grudge between us,

and we trust each other completely,

even if there were a hundred others

like Gao Xiajing,

they couldn't break us apart.

I have said the same thing to you before.

You remember, don't you?

Leaving Gao Xiajing aside,

it was you who went to meet an online friend

and tracked my phone.

I admit I was wrong.

Starting today,

I will reflect carefully on the problems between us.

I really will change.

Will you give me another chance?

I am also to blame

in all this.

I should not have doubted you.

In the quiet of the night,

I often reflect on myself

and our relationship.

We both have given our all,

but why have we still come to this point today?

We have doubted each other,

hurt each other,

shown our claws to each other,

and exposed our worst sides.

Now, we are both covered in scars.

So tired.

I regret going to Jinshan.

Turns out long-distance relationships

can really lead to misunderstandings

and they

snowball.

I want to transfer back from Jinshan.

Can we start over,

okay?

You're doing well in Jinshan.

Distance has created issues between us,

but it can also help us calm down.

Let's both think this through.

Those middle-aged ones

who pretend to work in the cafes,

the subway stations and on the park benches.

What they fear most

is not the ridicule of colleagues

or the coldness of friends.

They just don't have the courage to tell their families

they've lost their jobs.

Because sharing their pain with family members

only doubles

the trouble.

So they can only keep it to themselves,

even if they feel they can't continue.

But one day,

if you find the one

who's been through thick and thin with you

is going to leave you behind

because you can't hold the umbrella

and get wet in the rain,

what would you think?

Can you hold on any longer?

(Fair-Weather Couple)

Who is it?

Ms. Wang.

It's time to pay the rent.

You don't answer my calls or reply to my messages.

What are you up to?

Sorry about that, Ms. Wang.

I didn't mean to ignore you.

I've been too busy these past few days.

Can you give me one more week?

I will pay you next week.

No need. Life is not easy for you.

I don't want to come over

to hurry you for the rent anymore

or act like

I am bullying a single mother.

How about this?

Pack up your stuff

and move out before next week.

Ms. Wang,

you've taken special care of my child and me.

I am very grateful to you.

Just one week, please.

Let me think of a solution.

Look,

my child's kindergarten is nearby.

If I move out straight away,

he may have to drop out.

That's none of my business.

You've already fallen behind half a month's rent.

Fine, I don't want the money.

Consider it my last act of kindness towards you.

Pack up your things and move right away.

I will have the lock changed next week.

That's it.

Ms. Wang.

(Gynecology 2)

Doctor, is there any bad news?

Please tell me the truth.

It's not bad news.

Don't worry unnecessarily at your young age.

Benign cyst.

Pay attention to your diet in the future

and have regular check-ups.

Check-ups.

That's to say,

I don't have to die just yet.

What are you talking about?

Progesterone does affect cysts.

But now, medical science is very advanced.

You don't need to worry excessively about this.

Just maintain a good lifestyle.

Now that you're going to be a mother,

you must take good care of your health first.

Go to bed early and wake up early, and you must quit drinking, okay?

Don't worry.

The arrival of new life is always good.

Congratulations.

Doctor,

what do you mean?

You are pregnant.

Allen,

I know it's night there,

but I have to trouble you

with something very important.

I have a friend who has cancer.

I know that St. George's Hospital

is globally renowned for cervical cancer treatment.

Could you help me get in touch with a specialist in that field?

Thank you.

This apartment is pretty good.

Living quite comfortably, aren't you?

You.

How could you

call me,

asking for alimony in the middle of the night?

I've never seen anyone like you.

I've heard you live-streaming internet celebrities

can make quite a lot of money

and get rich quick.

I was even thinking about

asking you for financial help.

Why are you still asking me for money?

Alright, enough.

Stop making that face.

Isn't it money that you want?

Count it. Several thousand.

Chen Xiaodong,

have you no shame?

What I want is alimony.

You gave me gift cards again.

What's wrong with them?

Aren't they money?

Can't you use them to buy things?

If you don't want them,

you can sell them to card collectors

to get cash.

Then won't you get money?

Let me tell you.

Don't talk to me like that.

Now, it's you who's asking me for money.

I'm giving you money, understand?

Do you believe

I could sue you for that?

Go ahead.

I have been waiting for that.

I'm so fed up

with your constant demands.

Let me remind you.

Don't call me in the middle of the night again.

My wife won't be pleased.

It's not suitable

for you to eat such oily, spicy food now.

At this stage I'm in,

I eat whatever I want.

Liuliu,

you must pull yourself together.

You're still young now.

With active cooperation with treatment, there's still hope.

And

a good mood

is the best medicine for treating cancer.

I'm not talking nonsense.

That is scientifically based.

I understand you are

in an emotional turmoil.

I've thought it over.

If it can't be cured here,

we can go abroad.

I just called my friend working

as a doctor abroad.

We can leave at any time.

You don't have to worry about the cost.

I will help you share the burden.

Why do you want to help me share the burden?

What is our relationship now?

Friends, boyfriend and girlfriend, or ex-boyfriend and girlfriend?

Do you pity me?

No.

That's not what I meant.

I mean...

I want to face it together with you.

Wang Lingxiao,

I don't have cancer.

It's just a benign cyst.

I am having hot pot today

to celebrate it.

Thank you.

Thank you for caring about me

after knowing I was sick.

I'm full.

You treat me to this meal today.

Zhu Jincao has completely let you down, hasn't he?

I told you long ago,

men are unreliable.

So, are you reliable?

No.

But money can be relied upon.

There are no eternal friends in the world,

only eternal interests.

It is a wise move to contact me.

There's great potential in our cooperation.

Can you help me make money?

I need money, lots of it.

That's my strong suit.

To be honest,

because of Zhu Jincao, and thanks to you,

I had to leave Jinying Live.

But I already wanted to do it before that.

Because their way of making money

is just too old-fashioned.

It would be an eternity before I could become a millionaire.

I've been looking for

a partner who can strike it rich with me.

I think you are a very suitable candidate.

Put it simply.

How can I make money as soon as possible?

Do as I say,

and you'll make half a million in six months.

Don't bluff me. I'm not a child.

I urgently need to provide for my family.

Let's put it this way.

Due to the scandal,

the number of your real-time followers

has already reached over 200,000.

You're an internet celebrity now.

But you must understand

the ultimate goal of traffic is to get money.

How do we do it?

By promoting products.

Is that okay?

Sure.

I've already made a plan.

We will split the profits fifty-fifty.

If you don't earn 500,000

within half a year,

I'll pay you personally.

But to promote products,

you need to maintain the number of your followers.

How do you do it?

By keeping hyping up your scandal.

If you agree,

I can pay you an advance of ten percent.

Deal.

Don't rush.

Before that,

I have a condition.

What is it?

I never

let myself take a loss.

Those who mess with me,

I'll get back at them.

So, please

testify for me.

Let's begin.

Gao Xiajing,

you reported

at the last inquiry, you were coerced

into making a false statement,

so today we are reconvening the inquiry,

and we hope you will tell the truth.

Everyone,

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell the truth last time,

but I didn't mean to do it.

As a single mother,

I was clearly informed by Zhu Jincao

that he was already divorced,

and I had been

meticulously looked after by him.

Gradually, I developed feelings and admiration for him.

I sincerely wanted to be with him.

But I realized

I was gradually being mentally controlled by him.

He has seriously affected my life.

What are you talking about?

Sit down.

Sit down.

Do not interrupt her.

Continue.

Zhu Jincao told me

as long as I helped him take down

his rival, Liu Zhi,

and resolve the current crisis,

he would marry me.

So

I went against my own wishes

and fabricated false accusations of Mr. Liu Zhi accepting bribes.

Mr. Liu Zhi, I'm sorry.

Everyone,

I do not know

why Gao Xiajing

is accusing me today,

but there's already evidence

proving that Liu Zhi accepted bribes.

I trust the inquiry team

can clear my name.

I'll say it again.

All that evidence

was fabricated.

I believe

you will clear my name.

There are some words

Ms. Gao Xiajing is embarrassed to say.

During Zhu Jincao's relationship with Gao Xiajing,

Ms. Gao chronicled their romance

entirely on her public account.

What exactly is their relationship?

You will know after reading.

Each of my articles

has an exact publication time on it.

We were once so in love,

and it was impossible for me so early on

to predict that Zhu Jincao and I

would confront each other one day,

let alone plan to frame him

a long time ago

and write those heartfelt articles.

My account itself is the evidence.

I have no regrets

because it is all true.

Zhu Jincao,

you toyed with me.

Moli.

I've seen the trending searches online.

I never expected Gao Xiajing to distort right and wrong.

She's so crazy.

This is for you.

You even came

for this matter. Thank you.

Cut the crap.

Hurry up and play the recording.

Gao Xiajing will be exposed.

Go. What are you waiting for?

I don't want to do that.

What do you mean?

Do you know how terrible cyberbullying is nowadays?

They're all onlookers who enjoy the drama.

I don't want to get involved anymore.

I don't want to waste time

arguing with a woman anymore,

making me a laughingstock.

I think it's disgraceful.

You don't want to do it with women

or just not with Gao Xiajing?

Zhu Jincao, are you still sympathetic to her?

No, I'm not.

I pity her child.

Guo is only five.

If this

gets blown up...

So you still care about Gao Xiajing.

Look at me.

Can you say

you have never had feelings for Gao Xiajing

or any improper thoughts?

Never.

As if I'd believe that.

Moli, please listen to me, okay?

I have thought about it.

I did have some contact

with her in life or at work.

I've also helped her.

Perhaps because of that,

she developed some misunderstandings about me.

Yes.

She did many out-of-line things.

But that's not a reason for me to take revenge on her.

Alright, stop talking.

I'm not listening.

Moli, don't be so agitated.

Calm down.

I can't calm down.

If I make this recording public today,

Gao Xiajing and her child will be ruined.

This is fighting evil with evil.

I don't want to do that.

She's quite strange today.

I'm sure there's something going on.

Believe me.

I can handle this matter well.

How noble you are.

I shouldn't have come.

Mr. Bai,

you need me?

Jincao, the matter has been figured out.

Liu Zhi did accept bribes

in the guild

and has been fired by us.

The company is recovering the illicit money and goods.

Thank you.

Thanks to the inquiry team for clearing my name.

Truth is truth.

A good person will never be wronged.

Jincao, take it easy.

I know

you may feel wronged

and unjustly treated.

But the thing between you and Gao Xiajing

has caused quite a stir

and had a bad influence on the company.

If you're fired,

it might affect

your future career.

I don't understand.

What do you mean?

What I mean is

that I suggest you resign.

What?

I'll share the blame?

I am the victim.

The victim.

The company doesn't care who the victim is.

It just cares about

the negative impact you caused on itself.

That is true, isn't it?

I

want to keep you,

but I can't.

This is a letter of dismissal.

Don't make it difficult for me.

I have been giving my all to the company for ten years.

I understand.

You tell them.

It is impossible for the Puhua Hotel to get ten paintings

by Mr. Yan Li.

I'll make it if it's three or fewer.

All right. I'll reply to them this way.

Okay, thank you.

(Zhou Yu)

If you don't have anything urgent,

can we talk about it later?

I'm crazy busy right now.

This is urgent.

I've got a pressing business order.

Please come over right away.

What urgent business could you get?

I still have

20 things unfinished today.

Put those trivial things aside for now.

You must arrive within 20 minutes.

I guarantee it's worth it.

Gu Moli,

you can look down on me,

but when it's about business,

I am your client.

Watch your attitude.

I'm coming.

If your business

can't make me 100 million,

just you wait.

Alright, let's eat.

You've been transferred back?

You made a mistake?

I applied for it myself.

I felt it was too far from home.

Did you get promoted?

It's a lateral move.

Tech giants

are just private companies that can't provide stable jobs.

Changing from one thing to another.

Messing around as they please.

Alright, just eat your meal.

Isn't it a good thing that he has been transferred back?

Look, my son has lost weight in Jinshan.

Jincao, eat a lot.

I will serve you more.

I'm happy that you're back.
