=Episode 25=

Send Siqi back now.

I will resign and move out of Fortune Pavilion.

I guarantee to leave no ties with Lu Cenyang.

How can you make that call on your own?

I've always been like this.

Have you met me?

(Yi Zihe)

Yi Zihe has sent a location.

Let's get going.

Siqi.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have provoked Yi Zihe.

That dickhead Yi Zihe.

I'm going to have him arrested.

Don't.

Don't, big brother.

No police.

Yi Zihe has my videos on his phone.

Don't call the police. Don't call the police.

Agarwood can calm the mind.

Forget those upsetting matters.

As long as you're here,

I will get through any difficulty.

I was being capricious.

It was my fault.

It's my dereliction of duty.

You just got well.

I should have paid more attention to you.

Have a good sleep

and let those memories go.

I don't want to close my eyes.

I want to keep looking at you.

Brother.

You won't leave me alone, will you?

I won't.

Forget about these things

and have a good sleep.

Since you're going to marry this woman from the Yi family,

I will also accept Yi Zihe's pursuit.

Don't worry.

Your sister will not be with Yi Zihe.

I'm sorry, big brother.

I shouldn't have provoked Yi Zihe.

Bu Ran.

Siqi needs rest.

I've sent my resignation letter to your email.

The rent will also be transferred to your account.

And this too.

I'll entrust it to you.

♪So quiet that I can hear my breath♪

Are you really breaking up with me?

For what happened to Siqi,

I...

I am half responsible.

That day,

I shouldn't have thought that she was just angry.

Feelings

not only make one irrational

but also bring insecurity,

resentment,

and hatred.

These can disperse

all the beautiful moments we've had together.

♪I'm fortunate to encounter such serendipity♪

♪I wish to be alone♪

♪In the boundless sky that's just cleared up♪

♪Washing my mood clean♪

♪Take a good breath and think it over♪

♪Whether to stop or continue loving you♪

♪I believe that solitude is the night's message to me♪

♪It's pitiful for it to become a trace of love♪

I don't want to wait until then

for us to end.

No.

I don't agree.

♪The start of a story is always perfect♪

Let me go.

It's cool to part on good terms.

♪No matter where I go, I'm followed by your presence♪

♪Deciding on someone so absolutely♪

♪I hold back tears, wanting to salvage♪

Go away.

Brother.

Help.

Brother. Brother.

♪Some fulfillments can also be♪

♪Just a bit less than perfect♪

You should go to her.

She needs you more right now.

Yi Zihe.

Yi Zihe.

I genuinely like you and want to kiss you.

I thought kisses and hugs were part of the deal.

What's this then?

I have to pretend you're taking advantage of me.

You came out with me

to create the illusion of being molested?

Are you crazy?

To force Lu Cenyang to leave Bu Ran,

you're joking with your own reputation.

As long as it can make my brother leave Bu Ran,

this small sacrifice of mine is nothing.

No.

This isn't enough.

What are you doing?

If we're acting, it has to be more convincing.

Enough.

I'll cooperate.

But it's to let you know

that even if Lu Cenyang leaves Bu Ran,

he will never fall in love with you.

You don't need to hurt yourself over something like this.

Going back like this now

would make your parents worry, right?

Do you want to stay at my place?

My parents have been through much more than I have.

The room has been cleaned up for me.

I just need you to help me move. Thanks.

Why are you so polite to me?

I was just worried

that your parents would be upset

seeing you like this.

Do I look sad?

We broke up peacefully.

It's just a layoff in the realm of love.

It's a piece of cake.

(You don't have the right to ask that.)

Why are you up so early?

Brother.

Come and try the noodles

I just made for you.

No, thanks, I'm not hungry.

Uncle Li.

Could you help me find Yi Zihe?

I...

What happened?

Your head hurts?

It's nothing.

Big brother.

I know that I was rash about this.

But Yi Zihe,

he just has to see

you in pain over your breakup with Bu Ran

to find his psychological balance.

Bu Ran is stronger than you think.

But the video in Yi Zihe's hands

is devastating to me.

Big brother.

Don't go looking for him proactively.

Let's just let this go.

Okay?

Look.

What should we do?

Mom.

What's for lunch? I'm hungry.

I...

Huiyun.

Go and check if lunch is ready.

Okay.

Baby girl, your mom

has prepared your favorites for you.

I'll tidy up

and let's eat.

Come quickly.

Our Ran likes it sweet,

so I've added extra sugar to the dish.

Make a soup.

Our daughter loves soup.

Alright.

Your father went to buy the meat from the market this morning.

It's very fresh. Try it.

Sweet and sour pork loin.

Dig in. Clean the plate.

Okay, got it.

Auntie, I'm hungry today.

I want more.

Sure.

Ran.

Let's eat.

Dad.

I've completely let go.

You don't have

to watch over me like I am a protected animal.

Okay.

I plan to register a studio

and start by taking on some design work at home.

Sounds good.

A few of our neighbors here

actually want to renovate their places.

They heard that you were an interior designer and are

eager to let you help.

Sure, you can introduce me to them.

I'll try to get all of the projects.

Great.

Then there's no problem at all.

Uncle.

Is Bu Ran feeling any better?

She broke up.

She won't be okay just because she says so.

I got her some business from our neighbor

to keep her busy for now.

As a result,

she turned the bedroom into a studio.

She's busy until late every day.

I think she's numbing herself.

Has Lu Cenyang contacted Bu Ran?

Even if Cenyang contacts her,

it's no use now.

It was Ran who initiated the breakup.

I think he is also in a difficult position.

Better to rip off the band-aid now.

Uncle.

Take good care of Bu Ran.

I've been a bit busy.

She still has two boxes of stuff here.

I'll get them to her later.

I'll come over and cheer her up.

Trust me.

Bu Ran will definitely get better.

Okay.

I have to go now, Uncle.

(Draft Box, Report Materials)

(Send)

(Report Materials Sent Anonymously)

Come in.

I bought a new cup

to change the mood.

I also got one for you.

It's time to change your cup too.

My cup was gilded by Bu Ran.

It's special.

So no, thanks.

You two have already broken up.

Why keep your ex-girlfriend's things?

You can use my cup for tea

and hers for water.

On a single desk,

there's room for two cups.

No need.

I'm used to using one cup for water.

Is your headache gone?

What did you need?

I'm much better.

For the Ancient Alley,

I've assigned another colleague on point.

The handover went smoothly.

In the final stages,

I expect everyone can give it their all.

There's a current push to build high-quality and beautiful villages.

The government expects highly for the Ancient Alley

Renovation.

We have to perform well

for the citizens

and meet everyone's expectations of Pinshang.

Hello?

The site has been shut down?

Okay, I'll look into the situation.

Hello.

The number you've dialed is currently in a call.

Please try again later.

(Mr. Hu)

The number you've dialed has been powered off.

What happened at the site?

There's a problem with the supplier Mr. Hu.

Someone made a report

that some of the old wooden parts

used for the project were taken down from remote protected buildings.

But the Engineering Depts have checked

the procurement route of the old wooden pieces from Mr. Hu.

How could there be a problem?

It must be someone who is very familiar with this project,

and they are setting us up.

Mr. Hu was recommended by Bu Ran.

Is it...

It can't be her.

The opponent this time

must be a ruthless person who knows us well.

I'm going to the government

and report the situation to them.

Before I return,

you and the PR Dept. must monitor the situation

and not let the news spread.

I'm on it.

Brother, let me go with you.

I'm the chief designer and the presenter

of this project.

Don't.

You haven't fully recovered.

Holding down the fort here

would be the biggest help to me.

Mr. Hu, purchased several

protected buildings in remote areas for his collection,

and I've reported it.

Chen Manni's design works abroad

have been accused of plagiarism.

Both the supplier and designer are facing issues simultaneously,

the imminent completion of Pinshang's Ancient Alley Renovation

is likely to go from one to zero.

You're Qin Xun, right?

You wanted to see me?

I don't think we have any common topic.

You are clever and tactful,

yet you never focus on proper business.

We know who you're doing it for.

Ms. Hua, are you trying to buy me over

or threaten me?

I'm here to persuade you.

People who act on emotions

usually don't end up well.

Take Bu Ran, for example.

Sooner or later, she will be beaten and battered by Lu Cenyang.

Because there's Lu Siqi

who is persistent and he can't shake her off.

You can't get your father's love back.

But you like Bu Ran.

That I can try to fight for you,

if you cooperate with me.

So you're looking for a pawn.

You're directly linked to my father's death.

What makes you think that I would join forces with you?

If we join forces,

at least I can promise you

that I won't be suppressing Bu Ran

and I can help you to quickly become a formidable match for Lu Cenyang.

You didn't disappoint me.

What reward do you want?

Severe punishment for Yi Zihe.

I want anyone who hurts Bu Ran

to receive the heaviest punishment

with your help, Ms. Hua.

Including Lu Cenyang?

I'll leave now.

Qin Xun.

As long as you can make Lu Cenyang

step down from his undefeated pedestal,

my support for you is unlimited.

If you don't disappoint me,

I will not disappoint you.

Qin Xun.

Come in quickly.

Morning, Auntie.

Come in.

These are two boxes of Bu Ran's stuff,

all design models from her clients.

They are her treasure.

I couldn't trust the moving company.

Sorry to trouble you with another trip.

Have you had breakfast?

I've just made some soy milk.

I'll take one.

Sure.

Thank you, Ms. Bu.

Where's Bu Ran?

She's still sleeping.

I'll wake her up in a bit.

No, let her sleep a bit more.

Here.

Thanks, Auntie.

How is she doing?

Since she came back,

although she acts

as if nothing's wrong,

I can tell

she can't bear to let go nor can she move on.

So she keeps herself busy with work

to distract herself.

She just broke up.

There's always a process of healing.

But rest assured,

as long as she starts designing,

she will be able to shift her attention

and adjust her mood.

It's good to be busy.

Don't worry.

Ran is lucky to have

a friend like you.

All these years, no matter what happens,

you've always stood firmly by her side.

Qin Xun is here.

Uncle.

Stay for lunch later.

No, thanks, Uncle.

I have a lot to do.

To keep an eye on Zi He, right?

Qin Xun.

Although Zihe is fickle,

he is very conceited.

He never forces a woman,

let alone

the sister of Lu Cenyang.

On the surface,

he used Lu Siqi

to make Ran break up with Lu Cenyang,

but his cost was even greater.

Perhaps

he was also used.

Uncle.

I will find out about this.

Rest assured.

I am here.

No one will be able to easily hurt Ran.

I'll take my leave now.

Do you think

Qin Xun seems different from before?

It's obvious he likes Ran

and is concerned about her.

Young people will communicate on their own.

We shouldn't meddle.

I'm just worried

that the Yi Family was somehow

involved in this.

Who did this?

What is this?

It's all messed up.

We want answers.

Exactly.

Is anyone in charge?

Look at this!

What should we do?

That's right.

We want answers.

Give us an answer.

Is there anyone in charge?

(Executive Director Qin Xun)

Is there anyone in charge?

Right, who is responsible?

Call the designer out.

Get the Designer out.

(Lu Cenyang)

(You can't protect her,)

(but I can)

(From now on, the Yi family will not target Bu Ran,)

(but the price is you and Pinshang.)

You sealed it off as if it's a murder scene.

This is so ominous.

Exactly.

Right? Take a look at it yourselves.

It's ridiculous.

How are we going to live here?

Where is

the designer who wanted to retain the original flavor?

Let her come out.

Yes, let her come out.

We asked you to use some new materials

and make it beautiful.

Right.

You didn't listen.

Exactly.

And now this crap happened.

What do we do now? What can we do?

Everyone, please keep calm.

Mr. Lu is thinking of ways to resolve this quickly.

Someone is framing Pinshang now.

Oh, come on.

Always making excuses when things happen.

You're clearly fooling us.

Right.

Do you think we'll buy it?

No, no, that's not it.

There's been a misunderstanding. Calm down.

That's not it.

The alley was about to be completed.

Everyone can see the quality.

Pinshang wouldn't cheat everyone.

Enough.

I could tell when we were drinking

that Mr. Lu was not reliable at all.

Exactly.

The moment there's trouble, he just bails.

Right?

With such a big issue happening now,

how do you expect us to trust you again?

That's not true.

Mr. Lu isn't that kind of person.

You shut your mouth.

Please trust us.

What do you plan to do? What now?

We want plans.

We're working on it.

What's your plan?

Can you solve the problem?

Please trust us.

Trust us. Please stay calm.

Yes, exactly.

Pinshang has always been known for its design strength.

Yet this time they chose

the designer Chen Man Ni whom Yihua

had discarded and who has a history of plagiarism.

There are so many new building materials available,

yet Pinshang chose to use

obscure old wooden pieces,

causing such big trouble for the district government.

As Yihua,

we are very willing to do a reassessment of the project.

Of course. Not at all.

We should leave

professional matters to the professionals, right?

Thank you for your trust in Yihua.

Okay, goodbye.

(Do you think a shutdown would scare me?)

(You underestimate me.)

(Whatever happens, I will)
