[Love on a Shoestring]

[Episode 6]

Well.

My skin is so delicate.

If we really fight,

what if I get hurt?

Don't worry, okay?

The people I've hired are professional martial artists.

They're good at fake fighting.

Just swing your arms

and kick your legs like this.

They cooperate really well.

Okay?

Then I'm relieved.

You came on a date tonight?

They're here.

They're here.

Close the windows.

Miss.

You have a nice figure.

Excuse me.

May I ask

what you want?

The martial artists you found

are not good at saying lines.

They speak without soul,

and without cadence.

Is it time to criticize acting skills now?

We're asking the lady. None of your business.

Go away!

Just talk. Don't get physicial.

What?

Want to play the hero?

Beat him!

It's your turn.

Go!

Get off.

I'm so nervous.

Hurry.

-Get off. -Okay.

-Let go of the girl. -Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go of that girl!

Let go!

Come here.

Keke, don't be afraid.

I'll protect you.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Wait.

-I'm sorry, Keke. -What are you doing here?

It's not what you think.

Keke, it's not what you think.

Didn't I tell you?

Isn't that the reaction

you're supposed to have at the beginning...

Did Keke ask Haikuo out

to break up with him?

I wonder how they are doing.

Elly is so unloyal.

She promised to go shopping with me,

but she stood me up.

Don't be mad.

The business is so good here.

Isn't that Chen Shi from the Business Department?

Hi, Chen Shi.

Do you mind if we sit with you?

Sit.

This time it's not Wagyu beef,

so you won't compete with me, right?

Why do you hold grudges so much?

Who are you talking about?

Don't be angry.

Yu Fen, let's order.

You deserve to get burned.

Do you want some beef?

Elly, come out.

Hey!

Did you get the money?

What nonsense are you talking about?

What money?

I don't know them.

You fought for nothing.

I know you are in cahoots.

If you didn't meet your KPI,

the employer doesn't have to pay you.

I didn't hire you.

It was the girl in the car who hired you.

Go talk to her.

Hey.

Even if it didn't succeed,

we should still get paid.

Let's call it a day.

Miss, come out.

What do you want?

I'm acting in good faith.

I wanted to test

whether your relationship is firm enough.

No need to test it.

Jian Keke and I have already broken up.

How could you break up so soon?

Stop lying.

Thank you.

Is your nose okay?

It's not hurting anymore.

But it's still running.

What about you? Did you get hurt?

I got hit a few times,

but I'm fine.

Go back and rest.

Bye.

Be careful riding.

He's really a nice guy.

Straightforward and decisive.

But his way of spending money

just doesn't work for me.

What a pity.

Otherwise, I might consider him.

Hey, what's up, Jiali?

You're at the police station?

Geez, the drunk person is really heavy.

Get him up there.

Pull him up a little.

Move up.

Drunk people are so heavy.

My hands were shaking just now.

How did he get so drunk?

Yeah. How much did he drink?

Actually, not much.

Just a bottle of beer.

Just one bottle of beer

and he's this drunk?

Your alcohol tolerance is really bad.

He got drunk and fought,

and was brought to the police station.

This won't do.

Grandma.

He just wanted to stand up for me.

He just punched Zhigang.

He punched Zhigang?

Well done!

He's got guts.

I don't support violence,

but I support Grandma.

Grandma is right.

All right, you two can go out.

I'll use hot water to help him clean up

so he can sleep well.

Grandma, it's okay.

We can handle it. You go rest.

-What do you mean, "we"? -No way.

You two aren't married yet.

-Yeah. -What?

Get out.

I'll handle it.

Yeah, get out.

Get out.

Get out.

I really have a trauma

from your phone calls.

One moment you're in the hospital,

the next you're at the police station.

How can I not worry about you?

You don't need to worry about me.

And you don't need to fear that I'll be too heartbroken.

I've already decided

to break up with Zhigang.

What a miracle!

Someone finally came to their senses.

It's the reality that forced me to come to my senses.

Zhigang promised me

that he wouldn’t contact Weishan again.

Then they still met in secret.

Now he's even accusing me of having something with Yuanchong.

The guilty party always blames others.

I really hope

you and Yuanchong have something going on.

Well.

Only you can stand a man like Zhigang.

I really admire your tolerance.

You should break up quickly.

It's good for both of you.

And I think this breakup

is thanks to Yuanchong.

What did Yuanchong do?

He has been encouraging me all along.

Look.

I've just met him,

yet he can see my efforts.

Unlike Zhigang, who was dismissive.

Besides,

he said I was gentle

and that my happiness

shouldn't be hindered by Zhigang.

He's right.

It's really a bonus.

Last time when we mistook him for a pervert,

I felt like he might have some feelings for you.

Your expression

makes it seem like you already knew.

Today at karaoke,

he confessed his feelings.

How did you respond?

At that time, Zhigang and I hadn't broken up yet.

But you've broken up with Zhigang now.

What do you say now?

I've just met him.

Besides,

he's just a colleague.

Let's see.

Let's see then.

Alright.

You have your own pace.

I won't push you.

But I still want to remind you.

If you really like him,

you should be brazen

and brave.

Go after him.

That'll make you happy.

Okay?

Okay.

I really want you to be happy.

I'm serious.

Really serious.

Okay.

Where am I?

Whose clothes

are these?

Are you awake?

Do you know you've been sleeping for a long time?

It's almost noon.

Is this

your home?

Because

I didn't know where you lived,

I thought I'd bring you here.

I couldn't just leave you outside.

It's almost noon.

Don't you have to work?

I've already taken half a day off.

I wanted to make sure you're okay at least.

And I want to thank you in person.

Thank you for standing up for me yesterday.

You

didn't forget everything

just because you got drunk, right?

No.

I remember.

Your boyfriend was with another girl.

He even blamed you.

You were quite different from your usual self

when you were drunk.

Do you remember

you hit him directly yesterday?

It startled me.

I have a bit of memory

about that part.

Then at the KTV,

suddenly you were talking a lot.

Do you remember what you said to me?

I'm not

so clear about that part.

It's okay.

I just found you very funny and cute.

Besides,

I thought what you said made a lot of sense.

So I mustered up the courage

to break up with him.

Really?

And we also agreed

not to sue each other

and settled it privately at the police station.

So don't worry.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Your clothes should be dry.

I'll get them for you to change.

Jiali.

Thank you for taking care of me last night

and

helping me get changed.

But I didn't change your clothes.

You didn't?

Then who did?

You're awake.

I've never seen someone sleep so long

from just one beer.

But when you were drunk,

you were very well-behaved.

You didn't move around much.

I helped you clean your body,

and when I asked you to raise your hand, you did,

and when I asked you to turn over, you did.

Very obedient.

Clean my body?

Yes.

You got all dirty from fighting

with Zhigang.

To make you sleep well,

I wiped your body

with hot water.

What's wrong?

Did I get completely naked?

Then what?

How was I supposed to wipe your body if you were not naked?

Then wouldn't I be seen naked?

[Balance: 100,000 NTD Note: Repayment, Confirmation of Sale]

Manager!

Manager!

Manager.

I kept calling you but you didn't reply.

What were you thinking?

I was thinking

I haven't had coffee today.

Do you want some?

It's on me.

Sure.

Uncle, I'm here to pick up

the packages for the Trendee Accounting Department.

[Heard they broke up. Jian Keke is the third party]

[It seems Keke actively seduced Haikuo and got involved in his life]

Thank you.

[She seems to be pregnant. Getting pregnant while being a third party?]

[Who is the father of the child? How can they break up while being pregnant?]

Actually, she's not the third party, she's the fourth.

But that's not what I heard.

I remember it was the girl who cheated.

There's a lover involved.

You know what? Let me tell you.

The reason for their breakup is simple.

Keke doesn't look pregnant.

Look.

Someone wrote here that

she got rid of the baby.

I didn't get rid of the baby.

So...

Are you pregnant?

I'll only say it once.

I...

Am...

Not...

Preg...

Nant!

What?

It's blood!

Blood.

What blood?

Here!

What should we do?

The tissues.

What should we do?

Keke.

Keke.

Keke.

What?

Why are you yelling?

Where is Keke?

She's resting in the room.

She was doing fine at work.

Why was she sent to the hospital?

I don't know.

She suddenly had a nosebleed.

And she couldn't stop it.

There was blood all over the floor.

What did the doctor say?

The doctor said it's possible...

Keke.

Keke.

Sweetie.

Sweetie. Don't cry.

Don't be sad.

Daddy will always be with you.

Why does heaven have to treat me like this?

You're still young.

How could this happen?

I finally made it this far.

And now it's all in vain.

Alright.

Heavens.

Don't torture my daughter like this.

If there's any suffering,

direct it at me.

Direct it at me, please.

Please! I beg you!

Shut up!

Are you done?

I've got goosebumps.

Honey.

How can you be so calm?

Keke has cancer.

I don't have cancer.

Keke, you...

I'm your dad.

I know you're very filial.

Although I'm old

and may not be able to handle the shock

or I might have a heart attack

and pass away,

you

can't...

What are you talking about?

It hurts.

Your daughter doesn't have cancer.

Her nasal membrane got injured earlier.

She had a nosebleed

because she got emotional at work.

Do you understand?

Why were you crying so sadly just now?

Because today is the 29th.

So... So what?

It's the second-to-last day of the month,

and I took sick leave today.

I lost my perfect attendance bonus.

She actually got a nosebleed right there on the spot!

Keke was so emotional.

Could it be that she was cheated on?

Don't talk nonsense.

Mr. Wang is not that kind of person.

Also,

try not to mention Keke

in front of Mr. Wang.

Why?

Because he's been in a bad mood lately.

Don't make him feel even more down.

If he's so upset,

why did they break up then?

Yeah, why?

Yeah.

And that even caused Keke to have a big nosebleed.

He's here.

The company's annual health checkup is coming up again.

If there are any issues with the body,

they can be identified right away.

That's right.

Our company really cares about us employees

by organizing this every year.

The company is really great.

Such a good company.

Mr. Wang.

Sort it out.

Okay.

Tell us. Why?

Stop gossiping.

Just do your work.

I'll take it.

No, I can do it.

Can you?

Come on.

You didn't even notice when something was wrong

with your own body.

I remember your company provides

free annual health checkups, right?

Yes.

I do it every year.

After all, it's free.

You should also get the self-paid items checked.

But they are expensive.

I know you're thinking of

saving money for the family.

But you should save on

unnecessary expenses.

How can you skimp on health expenses?

Okay, I got it.

Don't worry.

If

you don't want your parents to worry,

then get a thorough check-up

from head to toe.

Only if your body is healthy

will your parents feel at ease.

Understand?

Alright, I'll do all the examinations this year,

no matter how much it costs.

I'll get checked from head to toe.

Okay.

That's my good daughter.

I'm sorry.

Be careful.

Thank you.

You get changed first. I'll come in later.

The manager asked you to cover a shift again?

I saw that it wasn't your shift on the original schedule.

Jing asked for leave for something urgent.

I happened to be free.

By the way,

this is for you.

I made this at the bakery.

I saved this especially for you.

Thank you.

I'll go restock the shelves first.

Eat it when you have a chance.

Okay.

This is for you.

I made this at the bakery.

I saved this especially for you.

Why is she

being so nice to me?

You act very differently

when you're drunk compared to usual.

You suddenly became super talkative.

Do you remember what you said to me?

Since Jiali is single now,

does that mean I have a chance?

Jiali.

It's late.

Let me take you home.

It's okay.

There are still buses.

It's still quite a distance from here to the bus stop.

It's dangerous for you to go alone.

Let me accompany you.

Alright then.

Thank you.

Do you still remember what you said

at the karaoke?

Actually, I was really touched at that time.

Because sometimes I feel like

I'm not a very likable person.

Not at all.

Although you don't talk much,

I think you are a warm person.

You're the first one to say I'm warm.

Maybe it's because you usually

have a cool demeanor.

So smile more

and be enthusiastic like when you're drunk.

I believe many people will like you.

What about you then?

I just broke up with Zhigang.

It'd be a lie to say I'm not sad.

And I think

I'm not ready

to start a new relationship.

I can wait.

I don't think you should waste your time

on me.

But

you gave me a cake today.

Isn't that because you have

at least a little bit of feelings for me?

I do like you a lot.

When we are together,

you feel like a little brother to me.

Little brother?

You're a cute little brother.

Cute little brother.

[Trendee][Accounting Department]

They really broke up.

The atmosphere in the Business Department is down

because Haikuo is in a very bad mood.

Last time, because of rumors from other colleagues,

Keke even lashed out at us.

Not only that,

she even had a nosebleed.

Look how upset Keke is.

She's even sick.

80% of the rumors in the company

are false.

Why do you just refuse to believe

that they have broken up?

Because based on Haikuo's attitude towards me...

[Division One]

I heard you signed another order.

Congratulations.

It hurts so much.

It hurts.

Wearing high heels for too long

is bad for your ankles.

He just walked out like that.

Haikuo is so cold

to people he's not interested in.

But,

just because he's not interested in you,

you assume they haven't broken up?

Otherwise, how could he possibly

have no interest at all

in a stunning beauty like me?

Stunning beauty...

So we must find a way

to get them together

to figure out the truth.

How are you going to

get them together?

Isn't the company health checkup

starting soon?

Yes.

So?

[Health Screening Center]

Thank you.

Where is Keke?

She wouldn't skip it today, right?

No way.

She wouldn't miss out on

something free like this.

What about Haikuo?

Haven't seen him either.

They're here.

See, they haven't broken up.

Please fill out the forms here.

Maybe they just took the same elevator.

Look, Michael Zhao is here too.

Those who have filled out the forms,

please come over here to change clothes.

-Okay. -Okay.

It took a long time.

You know?

Besides the gastroscopy, colonoscopy,

and abdominal ultrasound,

what other tests did you add?

Tell me.

Why are you asking me about this?

It's your body. I'm worried.

I'm professional in health maintenance.

Tell me and I'll evaluate it for you.

CT scan of the lungs,

and coronary artery examination.

Can you be quiet

for just five minutes?

Just five minutes. Thank you.

Wait.

About scalp care...

-Michael Zhao. -I'm good at it too.

If you come every month,

I'll draw some of your blood.

You know that blood tests

are very good for the body.

Mr. Wang.

You're being so cold to Keke.

Are you really giving up?

Did you add any self-paid items?

No.

Did you?

Yes.

What did you add?

CT scan of the lungs,

brain ultrasound,

colonoscopy, gastroscopy,

and coronary artery examination.

You also added these?

So...

Or do you need to regulate female hormones?

Everyone praises it after getting it drawn.

Why do you look so happy?

It's good to draw blood.

It promotes metabolism.

Old blood goes out

so new blood can be produced.

After drawing blood, you feel more energized.

You're drawing that many tubes?

Of course.

I added all the

self-paid blood tests.

Sir, make a tight fist.

Okay.

Why are you doing elderly exercises here?

It's not elderly exercises!

The nurse couldn't find a vein

and told me to do this.

My nails!

Why did you hit me?

This way the veins will surface.

Be gentle.

I just had my nails done.

[Urine Sample Collection]

Miss.

Your blood pressure is a bit high.

For this health checkup,

I haven't eaten anything since last night.

Finally, I can eat to my heart's content!

Where's Keke?

Over there.

Mr. Wang, let's sit here.

You can sit here.

Excuse me, is this seat taken?

No.

Such a direct rejection.

See, I told you.

They've already broken up.

Keke is so cute.

You even created an opportunity

and left a seat for me

so that we can have breakfast together.

And you picked

a table right in the middle of the room,

-to let everyone know. -I'm full.

Where are you going?

So shy.

I'm back.

You're back.

Keke, I have good news for you.

Our family is going to be rich.

Our luck is turning around.

See?

A 500-NTD coupon.

Your mom's plump hand

drew the grand prize on the first try.

I'm a lucky woman.

Yes.

Congratulations.

Darling.

What happened?

Is it your...

your health report today?

The health checkup report

won't come out until next week.

You scared me.

Then it's nothing.

There is something.

Have you ever had the experience

of rejecting someone who likes you

but still wanting to be friends with them?

Of course.

The problem is

that deep down in your heart,

you still have a tiny bit of feelings

for this person.

Then, after spending some time together

and getting to know each other better,

it still turns into love.

I knew it.

You still can't forget about Wanting.

You said you don't like her.

But in your heart,

you care a lot.

Who is Wanting?

Please.

When I was in college,

I joined a club.

There was a

junior girl,

who majored in...

You still remember it so clearly.

I...

I...

Honey, I...

I don't have dementia.

Now.

I

don't want to see you.

Okay, I'll take out the trash now.

That jerk.

It's been over 30 years.

You're still upset?

You're one to talk.

What about you?

You're in a bad mood.

Is it related to

Haikuo?

How can you know?

Whose daughter are you?

Mine!

I can read your mind.

You don't have any male friends,

except for Haikuo.

Of course it's like this.

He was very cold to me

during today's health checkup.

I already took the initiative to be nice to him,

but he ignored me.

Then it means

he still really likes you.

After you rejected him,

he doesn't know how to face you.

Is that so?

Yes.

I thought he was a nice guy

and wanted to be friends with him.

What a pity.

If you think it's a pity,

then you should take more initiative.

I did take the initiative,

but he just ignored me.

If I'm even more proactive,

it'll be weird.

Jian Keke.

In one's life,

you must never do anything

that you'll regret or feel remorse for.

If you

sincerely want to be friends with Haikuo,

just do as I say.

Try it.

There's always a chance.

Right?

Right?

Right?

Look.

Aren't these French nails I did

pretty good?

You used correction fluid?

Yes. Look.

It saves money.

It won't be toxic, right?

No.

So pretty.

Keke was not dating Haikuo.

But my feelings for Haikuo are real.

The best way to heal from a heartbreak is

is to start a relationship.

I do hope he can move on quickly.

So if you want him to like you,

you can take advantage of his stomach issues.

He has stomach problems?

He has a stomach condition?

[Preview]

This is the fish soup I cooked for you.

It's better to drink something hot in the morning.

You broke up with Haikuo,

but you are still pestering him.

[Trendee]

But we're still good colleagues and friends.

Can't we?

I'll do my best.

Mr. Wang.

You're in debt?

From the moment a person is born,

they start owing debts.

It's obvious his attempt to get back together isn't sincere.

Don't give him another chance.

Don't meddle in

my business with Zhigang.

I think your love is growing deeper.

Is this love?

I'm looking forward to it.

You're going to stay at my home?

Is that okay?
