(Breaking News, Lu Cenyang leaves Pinshang)

What's Lu Cenyang up to now?

He's worse off than us now.

He deserves it.

Mom was indeed impressive.

She used us to find out Lu Cenyang's capability

and then spared no expense to support Lu Cenyang's nemesis,

striking the snake at its vital spot.

But did Lu Cenyang just give up like that?

Who cares?

Mom wants us to be more obedient.

Let's just be the fisherman and reap the benefit.

Stop fooling yourself over there.

Lu Cenyang has lost.

But is Qin Xun's rise to power good for us?

So, what do we do?

A small fry can't make big waves.

Just wait.

I'm curious to see

what Mom would do to this Qin Xun in the end.

Ms. Hua.

These are all of Pinshang's past projects.

Please take a look.

(Project Contracts)

Lu Cenyang gave you his shares,

thinking you would show mercy.

But unexpectedly,

it became your weapon against Pinshang.

Pinshang's current partners

began to sell off their shares and chose

to work with Yihua

once they heard the company's

majority shareholder

had no confidence in their management.

You've worked so hard, and I can't be stingy.

I can't let down my great contributor.

(Equity Transfer Agreement)

This is an Equity Transfer Agreement.

every word in it

is true

and worth a lot.

I prepared it for my eldest son,

but now I have

no expectations for him.

Take it.

This way, you'll have more confidence in pursuing Bu Ran.

Thank you, Ms. Hua.

However, speaking of which,

may I ask you

to let me handle the follow-up of the Ancient Alley Renovation?

What do you want to do?

This project has a high buzz

due to heated online attention.

It's truly a hot potato.

The best solution at the moment is

to let it completely drag down Pinshang.

When I help Yihua swallow the failing Pinshang,

I will have more energy

to do my best to repair

the relationship between Ms. Hua and Uncle Minde.

Because I want to become Uncle Minde's son-in-law.

With a happy family,

the shares I hold will be more valuable.

You're quite the crafty one.

All right then.

I'll be waiting for you to come back and celebrate together.

(Two Months Later)

This classmate of mine

uses Traditional Chinese Medicine to regulate heart function.

He knows what he's doing

and has cured countless patients.

Rest assured.

Thank you for your help, Dr. Ma.

You're welcome.

This is something Mr. Lu mentioned repeatedly.

Have you seen Lu Cenyang recently?

I haven't been in touch with him for a long time.

Do you have any news of him?

I'm really sorry.

He asked me to make medical appointments for your mother

two months ago.

I haven't seen him recently either

I don't know what he's been up to.

Thank you, Dr. Ma.

Thank you so much.

(How irresponsible,)

(unmoral,)

(and unsympathetic of Lu Cenyang)

(to disappear, leaving)

(the project and his sister behind.)

(Qin Xun)

(I want to go back to Pinshang to complete the project.)

What are you doing here?

(Company Merger Agreement)

To discuss cooperation.

The project that Pinshang has worked so hard on

was easily taken away by you before its completion.

I have nothing to say

to someone like you.

Broaden your horizons.

It's praiseworthy for two companies to join hands and benefit society

through cooperation.

Sister, why bother calculating personal gains and losses?

You're not my brother.

Now you know what it feels like to be schemed against

and to have something taken from you by force, don't you?

Please leave.

Last month, 30% of Pinshang's customers

switched to Yihua.

This month, 50% of the projects

have either switched to Yihua

or ended their contracts.

If this continues,

how can you live up to the memory of our father in heaven?

You're not worthy of mentioning Dad.

Fine.

Then let's talk about Lu Cenyang.

It took him nearly three years

to get Pinshang's market share almost on par with Yihua.

Under your management, it's been about seven weeks, right?

And you've lost it all.

You were Lu Cenyang's secretary for three years.

I believe you have the ability.

It's just bad luck

that you've encountered an opponent like me.

I won't go easy on you

just because you're my sister.

If you want the brand Pinshang

to survive,

it would be best to merge with Yihua.

Otherwise, the only thing left to do is wait for the liquidation of assets.

You wish.

I am the only buyer

who comes with an offer, considering our blood ties.

If you miss this opportunity,

the final outcome for Pinshang

might be even worse than the Lu Group's.

(Lu Siqi signs the Company Merger Agreement)

By the way,

initially, Yihua didn't want

to take over the poorly managed

Ancient Alley Renovation project,

but someone

wants a perfect conclusion to it.

I've asked her to come to Pinshang

and oversee the follow-up matters of the project.

No problems, right?

Have you arrived?

Okay.

I disagree.

Do you have anyone left?

How long has Lu Cenyang been gone?

Whether you agree or not

won't change the outcome.

Siqi,

you can no longer, as in the past,

rely on Lu Cenyang's doting on you

and behave recklessly.

Alright.

Designer Ms. Bu, let's go

and see your new office together.

You want me to work here?

No way.

What if as soon as I left Pinshang,

Yao Lefei

reassigns you to scrub toilets?

Having you sit in this position

is to make it easier

for you to advance the Ancient Alley Renovation.

Don't overthink it.

What's meant to come has come.

Brother Mingyu.

Your son has come to see you.

Your father's ashes

were scattered in this sea.

Bow to the sea.

Uncle Minde.

The ashes of that faithless man

only remind me

of my mother's painful memories from those years.

I know you hate your father,

but I am more aware

of your inherently good nature.

If you really held a grudge against your father,

you would have used Ran

to achieve your revenge long ago.

But you never did.

So you knew all along, Uncle Minde.

Qin Xun,

I want to talk to you about your father.

I don't want to.

I'm just saying,

and you can listen casually.

Back then,

when Brother Mingyu went bankrupt,

your mother contacted him

and was prepared to give up everything she had left for you

to help him get through the rough patch.

You know that back then, the houses

didn't cost as much as now.

Even if she sold all the properties under your name,

it might not have saved Mingyu's business.

But then, your future security

would have been gone.

That's why Mingyu refused.

Furthermore,

have you ever thought

that your mother was alone abroad

as a woman,

so how could she afford so many houses?

Mingyu once told me,

that he and your mom

had separated

because of a misunderstanding.

And he felt guilt and regret

about that marriage.

You are making excuses for his abandonment of his wife and child.

I'm just telling you the facts that I know.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

(Lu Cenyang) Please try again later.

Mom, I'm back.

Mom, where's Dad?

I'm not your mom.

I can't answer for her.

What are you doing here?

Where have you been all this time?

Not even a call?

And what's this about you resigning?

Are you going to abandon Pinshang

and the Ancient Alley Renovation like that?

Your sister was going crazy looking for you, you know?

How can you suddenly

ask so many questions?

This is such a critical time and you are

cooking here?

I've already resigned publicly.

What else can I do if not cooking?

Lu Cenyang, what are you talking about?

Chinese.

Are you joking with me?

Is this the time to be joking?

Lu Cenyang, when did you

become so irresponsible?

When I left,

I had already entrusted the company to Siqi.

As for Fortune Pavilion,

every time I go back there, I'm reminded of my dad.

And thinking of him makes me sad.

So I had nowhere to go.

I could only come here.

You're not welcome here either.

Wait, a call.

Besides, I have no connection with you.

Phone, your phone.

It's your dad. Let me take it.

Cenyang, have you arrived home?

We just talked with Dr. Ma

and she needs to be hospitalized.

Dad, why did you go to the hospital?

Is Mom feeling unwell?

Don't worry.

The doctor said

it's best for your mom to be hospitalized

and have a check-up.

I forgot to make an appointment,

so Cenyang arranged it this time.

Ran, I'm quite well.

You should really thank Cenyang.

Okay, Auntie.

Goodbye, Auntie.

You owe me.

Lu Cenyang.

How did I not realize before

that you're so thick-skinned?

You discarded Pinshang, disappeared from Siqi,

and the renovation has been put on hold.

So many things need your decision,

and here you are,

vanishing after resigning with just a few words.

So you went to help out at Pinshang.

I went so I wouldn't get scolded.

♪I will do everything for you♪

Don't think that I did it for you.

I did it for the Ancient Alley, and for Ms. Yao.

Didn't you trick me into the show

and ask me to help you?

Didn't you say

your father spent his childhood there

so you wanted to renovate it properly?

Didn't you say

during flowering season,

there'd be Iris ensata?

Thank you for not giving up on it.

Then why did you give up?

I...

I have more important things to do.

What's more important than this now?

Being with you.

From today on,

you work

and I'll cook for you at home.

Lu Cenyang, you're really hopeless as a grown man.

We just need to finish one more soup.

Tomato and egg soup.

Tomato and egg...

(I've sent Yihua's projects)

(to your email.)

Concerning the construction materials,

does anyone have any good ideas?

Let's hear them.

We have discussed this matter many times.

We all agree with the original intention

of using old wooden parts.

But such materials are indeed hard to find

and they are prone to issues.

Therefore, we want to use new materials.

Although there are flaws in appearance,

they won't cause problems.

Is this what you all think?

Yes.

This is the only way.

Siqi, what do you think?

Restoring the old as it was is my brother's requirement.

I agree to replace the old wooden parts,

but not with new materials.

Because if my brother were here,

he would definitely not agree.

Then, do you have any thoughts on the materials?

If I did, what would I need you for?

Aren't you here to solve these issues?

Alright.

Let's leave it at that for today.

Okay.

Siqi, stay behind.

Bu Ran.

Don't think that you can boss me around

just because you're sitting in my brother's chair.

Shall I leave?

You...

Siqi.

I support your perseverance,

but the team leader's concerns make sense.

Currently, the residents have a strong

aversion toward us.

We don't have the luxury of trial and error.

So, I've decided to use new materials.

However,

we must also preserve Mr. Lu's determination.

What is your solution?

Say it directly, no beating around the bush.

When you were young, you lived with Uncle Lu in the ancient alley.

Do you know any carpenters?

The craftsmen

who originally lived in the alleys

understand the residents' needs and preferences better than we do.

And they can help us identify

the most suitable ancient wood materials for replacement.

I was too young back then.

Even if I had met some,

I can't remember their houses or names.

But my brother would remember.

It's just I can't

get in touch with him at all now.

Okay, I got it.

Go back to work.

I thought you really loved Lu Cenyang.

But the moment he stepped down,

you teamed up with Qin Xun to seize his position.

Bu Ran.

Sometimes I don't understand you.

Think whatever you want.

I have a clear conscience.

I just want to wrap up this project properly.

I knew you were

working overtime.

Do you think this is a vegetable market

and came here for a stroll?

I can go wherever I want.

None of your business.

Trespassing into the office area

is a serious matter.

You...

Call the police

and have me arrested.

Come on.

What are you two doing here?

Have some food first.

I made it.

How did the great CEO end up as a cook?

How do you charge for it?

Shall I order some staff meals

and help you drum up business?

You won't come home for dinner

so I had to come and bring you food.

Come home?

Lu Cenyang, you...

It's not what you think.

Lu Cenyang, you're shameless.

Yes, I am shameless.

All I want is Bu Ran.

Come on.

Try this.

Try it.

Security Station?

Send someone over quickly.

Someone is trespassing in the office right now.

Qin Xun, you're serious, aren't you?

Or else what?

You have three minutes now.

Here.

Go home first. I'll be back after I'm done.

I'll stay for a while longer.

Two minutes left.

Remember to eat, okay?

Five, four...

I'll wait for you.

Three.

Two.

This isn't over.

Stop eating these things.

I'll take you out later.

No. there's still a lot of work to do.

I'll eat these later.

Lu Siqi didn't give you a hard time today, right?

No, she didn't.

I can feel it.

Even though verbally, she still rejects me,

deep down, she relies on me.

That's good.

This road is so dark.

It's not safe for you.

I'll take you home every day.

Thank you.

Starting tomorrow, I will come back earlier.

Does this wooden post stand guard here every day?

It's been a few days.

Childish.

Thank you for bringing me back.

If you really want to thank me, invite me in for a cup of tea.

Next time, Old Pal's, I'll treat you.

Stingy.

I'm off.

Drive safely.

He, he...

He...

If you can't catch your breath, don't talk.

Flashlight.

Light the way.

Are you alright?

The road is dark, and I didn't see clearly.

It is a bit dark.

I'll carry you.

What's the matter, are you shy?

I have held you before.

It's not the same.

It's never changed in my heart.

to replace the old wooden parts

for the Ancient Alley Renovation project.

Guys,

why is Pinshang doing this?

Mr. Lu has already been forced to resign by you all.

Pinshang can just drop this project,

but they haven't.

They are still working on the alley's renovation.

So if you make trouble again,

that would be heartless.

Now that Ms. Wang has spoken,

well, let's just

leave it at that.

It's about time, right?

(Ancient Alley Reconstruction Project Re-open Notification)

♪We sleep under the most beautiful sky♪

♪We hold hands, saving each other♪

Now that the project is re-opened,

I can withdraw then.

It's up to you now, Siqi.

You sure are open-minded.

You've done so much

all for my benefit.

Previously, the outcome wasn't clear,

and I didn't want to say much.

Now I can.

I asked Qin Xun to let me return to Pinshang

to continue the Ancient Alley Renovation project

because I want to preserve Pinshang for Cenyang and you.

The Ancient Alley Renovation started with Pinshang

which led to Cenyang's resignation

and caused Pinshang's reputation in the industry

to plummet.

Where one falls down,

one must rise up again.

Therefore, the Ancient Alley Renovation must be re-opened.

Of course,

my actions

were not entirely for you and Pinshang.

Because Cenyang entrusted this project to me initially,

and if I neglect it now,

it will be like a thorn

that's always there.

Whenever I think of it,

my heart would be filled with guilt and regret.

I must uphold my professional integrity

and the trust of Cenyang.

Actually, when you came to Pinshang,

I really liked your design philosophy.

But in the time that followed,

too many things flooded in,

making me lose my judgment of you.

Jealousy and hatred

filled my heart.

I can understand.

You don't have to be so magnanimous.

Because I did do many things wrong.

I put on an act with Yi Zihe

and post on Moments for you to see.

I thought these would drive you away

but unexpectedly,

they drove my brother away

and made him lose everything.

During the time he disappeared after his resignation,

I thought a lot.

I mistook possession

for love.

When I carried Pinshang on my own,

and when I was isolated and helpless,

fortunately, you appeared.

Otherwise,

I would have collapsed long ago.

During this period,

my own brother Qin Xun

showed me no mercy.

I originally thought he was taking it out on me for you.

But later I realized

he was teaching me to grow.

Is that what Qin Xun thought?

Bu Ran.

Thank you.

I sincerely apologize

for my actions.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

You are my sister-in-law, after all.

Are you really with Qin Xun now?

No.

I have to tell you something, but don't be mad.

Actually, your brother didn't disappear.

He's been living at my house this whole time.

He's been living at your house?

So you've moved in together?

Well, not exactly.

No.

Are you still mad at me?

Are you deliberately trying to please me?

Let go.

I am not trying to please.

I want to apologize.

My resignation and disappearance made you worry.

I used to always

see things from my own perspective,

ignoring your feelings.
