=Episode 3=

- Xiang. - Hey, Xiang.

- Xiang. - Hey, Xiang.

Please accept this.

What are you doing?

What is this about?

Xiang.

What's going on?

Stay here. I'll check it out.

What is this about?

A letter of apologies.

Sorry.

All of us

were too rash.

We came

to apologize in person.

We will not come here

and cause further trouble.

We will not spread rumors

to slander you.

We were wrong.

Sorry.

What...

Xiang, we were wrong.

I was...

Forget it.

We were too rash.

Sorry.

Sorry. We didn't mean it.

- All right. - We are sorry.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Take the gifts back.

We must get going.

Keep it.

It's meant for you.

Don't leave it here!

What now?

They already came here to apologize?

That didn't take long.

You knew this'd happen? What is this about?

I guess Jiang Hongbin

sent them the legal notice.

If they hadn't apologized,

we would've sued

all of them.

What?

How does Jiang Hongbin know about this?

Xiang Nan, they are our neighbors.

That was uncalled for.

Unbelievable.

Neighbors?

When they caused us trouble,

why didn't they see us as their neighbors?

Yeah.

Mum and Dad,

we should use the law to protect ourselves.

We can't let them pick on us.

Didn't I tell you

not to tell Jiang Hongbin?

Relax, I didn't go into the details.

He doesn't know much.

Mum and Dad,

don't be afraid.

If anyone

wants to disrupt our peaceful life,

we'll put up a fight.

Why should we be afraid?

Forget it. Don't do it.

Yeah. Xiang Nan is right.

Yeah. They don't scare us.

Mum and Dad, stop worrying.

The problem has been solved.

I'll slice some fruit for you.

Some cherries.

Never mind. You just got discharged.

You are still recovering.

Go inside, drink some water, and rest well.

Don't worry.

I'll carry the stuff inside.

Okay.

Keep it down. The kids are asleep.

How are Mum and Dad?

Problem solved?

It's over now.

It was my fault.

I should've brought them to our home instead.

Sorry.

It's all right.

It ended on a good note.

No one got hurt.

Good to know that.

Get some rest.

Take a hot shower.

I'll ready the water.

Thanks.

(Xiang Nan: I hired someone to renovate)

(Aunty's salon.)

(Come here and check it out,)

(or get your hair done.)

(Xiang Zhong: Who would want her service?)

(According to the latest weather update,)

(strong winds are expected in Kunshan.)

(Near Dianshan Lake,)

(wind speeds may reach up to level six)

(with occasional showers.)

(Please prepare rain gear.)

Miss Xiang,

We have a blue alert for gale.

Should we still stream?

We posted the trailer.

We must do the stream.

Wait until the wind dies down.

You could ask your husband

to bring some warm clothes.

Never mind.

Miss Xiang,

I'll fetch a battery from the car.

Come on!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Drink up.

Don't drink and drive.

(Bring me a pair of pants and a coat.)

(But you are too far away.)

We finally

got Deng to hand out with us.

You know what?

If you want the most authentic

Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab,

you can count on Deng.

Trust me.

Xiang Qian. Visiting your aunty?

Everything on your phone

can be synched up

and watched on the TV.

I see the image now.

Who is stealing my job?

Sister, you're here.

Welcome.

Aunty.

She was showing me how to cast from the phone.

You know what?

The renovator she brought

did all kinds of things and renovated the place inside out.

What do you think?

See the differences?

Yeah.

I walked down the old street

and came here.

When I got here...

The shop

totally caught my attention.

I thought it was a cafe.

Cut it out.

We did it!

You know what?

Have you noticed?

The tone and the lighting

are so elegant.

It looks French in here.

Do you feel the vibe?

Yeah.

You dyed your hair blue for that?

Don't you think

my outfit matches the color?

I see it.

Mission success.

Of course.

(Bring me a pair of pants and a coat.)

In my workplace,

my words carry weight.

(Wife)

Deng, what now?

We'll get the female crabs.

Same here.

I'll get the male crabs.

(Qian Feng)

(Xiang Zhong)

Deng,

your wife is calling me.

Don't answer it.

Don't do it.

I'm hanging up.

Hello, Mrs. Deng.

Are you

with Deng Haiyang?

He's not with me.

I would've told you

if he was hanging out with me.

Pass him the phone.

Pass me the opener.

Mrs. Deng, he is opening a bottle.

He can't talk. Let me relay the message.

Tell him to send me a pair of pants.

She wants you to send her a pair of pants.

Leave it.

We are having a drink.

We can't leave now.

I should...

I'm hanging up now.

Why did you tell her I was drinking?

Have you lost your mind?

Deng.

In my eyes, you are the real man.

What?

To your health.

This is how we deal with women.

My pals,

let's raise a toast.

At Yangcheng Lake,

Deng's rules

are absolute!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Raising you was worth it.

Our family finally has someone

who can help me with work.

Who helped you out?

Was it Jiang Hongbin?

That's inadequate.

You are not married yet.

Sister.

I want to help our family as well.

But I don't know the right people.

I happened to mention it

in a conversation.

I didn't know

he'd take it so seriously.

The next day,

he got me a construction crew

and prepared

the entire renovation design.

It means he takes my words

seriously.

Don't you think

he is thoughtful and reliable?

Actually,

I have my own schemes.

I am giving him more chances

to prove himself.

Then, you and our parents

just might see his worth.

Then, you can accept him sooner.

- And then... - Enough.

There's no need for schemes.

Dad gave us a new instruction.

What is it?

He wants me to get to know the man.

That is great.

Let's get it done.

I'll tell him.

How about tonight?

What's the hurry?

Are you so eager to get married?

I'm not in a hurry,

but clearly someone is.

He thinks I might give up on him due to his age.

Who would?

His face is on the billboard.

Who would look down on him?

Hello!

What we see here is

the greenery layout

in the Wetland Park.

It not only highlights

the features of the Jiangnan water town

but also places a strong emphasis

on enhancing the ecological functions

of the wetland environment.

Look, Xiang Zhong is doing a live stream.

Xiang Zhong is streaming.

There is a gale alert. Why is she streaming?

It's her job.

No wind can stop her.

Based on the changing seasons...

The wind is strong.

Many flowers grow here.

She shouldn't be streaming.

Please have a look.

It's a blue alert.

This place...

This place...

It has...

Ms. Xiang Zhong!

Miss Xiang Zhong!

Where did she go?

Make it horizontal.

Reach for my hand.

Reach out.

How did she get down there?

The wind blew her away.

- It's too risky. - Shut it!

Slowly.

What's wrong, Mum?

Xiang Qian, listen up.

Xiang Zhong was blown away by the wind.

She wasn't.

Stop spewing nonsense.

Her colleague pulled her back up.

The wind?

She is not that thin.

She was blown away.

Where is she now?

She is back.

Welcome back.

She seems all right now.

It looks like it.

So, why are you calling me?

What is this about?

Something didn't feel right.

Just not long ago,

your aunty was almost at Death's doorstep.

It wasn't normal.

And now, your father.

He's been getting

too ill-tempered lately.

He gets annoyed by the slightest things.

Nothing we say

can keep him calm.

That doesn't seem right.

I am worried.

Maybe you could talk to Gao Ping about it.

Isn't he a researcher?

Ask him to find out

what's going on.

What should he study?

Study if there's something wrong

with the Xiang family's gene.

Seriously?

Don't be ridiculous.

Mum, don't stay at home and be paranoid.

I'm hanging up now.

Trust me,

being paranoid will make you sick.

What's wrong?

What should I study now?

Mum thinks

there's something wrong

with the family gene.

She is overthinking.

This is good.

It sounds like

you are brushing me off.

Maybe we should get it examined.

Sure. No harm will come out of it.

Prof. Yang knows some people.

I'll ask for his help.

I bought my parents the massagers.

You could

give it to Prof. Yang.

You are a researcher.

Don't forget the gestures.

Right?

Results are not everything.

I'm washing my hands. Sleep on it.

(Emergency)

All right.

Press on it.

Where is your family?

They aren't here.

Observe it for a while.

You may go

if all goes well.

What is it for?

It's best to stay a while.

If you feel

dizzy or nauseous,

inform us at once.

Deng Haiyang.

Deng Haiyang.

I'm here. What is it?

You didn't reply

or answer my calls.

I spent the night at the hospital

while you were having fun!

How could you call yourself a man?

I am. Shut up.

Stop yelling. Keep it down.

Get up now.

Get up!

Cut it out.

- Get up! - Cut it out!

Get up now!

You want to lie down?

Is that it?

You won't listen to me!

Get up, Deng Haiyang!

Get up, Deng Haiyang!

What's the deal with you?

I went to bed in the morning.

I'm tired!

Can't you let me sleep?

Why are you yelling so early in the morning?

Have you lost your mind?

Cut it out.

Yeah.

I lost my mind.

I'm out of my mind.

I've had enough of this.

I want a divorce.

Didn't catch that?

Divorce! I want a divorce!

Mrs. Deng.

Sorry.

Nature calls.

Hi, Gao Ping.

Hi.

Gao Ping?

What are you doing here?

Come on.

Come in.

What's wrong?

I highly recommend this chair.

It's awesome. This chair is so comfortable.

Try it out now.

Sit down.

What chair is this?

It's an ergonomic chair.

Ergonomic?

Yeah. Sit down.

Sounds cool.

Feel it.

What's different?

The waist is supported.

Feels nice, right?

Yeah.

The neck is also supported.

Can you feel it?

You're right.

One more thing.

Sit tight.

Lie back.

Lie back.

What's wrong?

Well?

This chair is incredible.

You can lie down and sit on it.

That old chair is

a piece of junk.

For Prof. Yang?

Not bad.

Not bad.

You should get one too.

Me?

You know what?

My friend is a dealer.

I can get you a discount.

Are you a salesperson now?

Don't be silly.

I am serious about this.

It cost ten grand,

I can get it for six grand.

How much was it?

Six grand.

Give it some thought.

Just six grand? That's a huge discount.

Not bad.

It feels nice.

I know.

Are you really a salesperson?

Come on.

Stop

calling me that.

Fine. It's good.

I'll consider it.

Prof. Yang will love it.

I have to get going.

I'll let you know if I need one.

Sure.

Bye.

Six grands.

Nice.

(Daming Smart Home Quality Life with Technology)

Come in.

Why are you still using

the echo system?

No, there is only one.

Just one.

Miss Xiang, the file you wanted.

I asked for two copies.

Sorry, I'll get another copy.

Your intern is always

so scatterbrained.

What do you mean?

Are you saying I didn't train her well?

Forget I said anything.

Take a look at this.

This is a comparison between our company's Alice series

and the Echo company's

voice-control system.

Products that are portable

and can be swapped anytime.

I included

only our Alice series

in my proposal,

but honestly,

I really hope we can stick with the Echo company's

voice-control system.

That's the issue, isn't it?

You know

the headquarters is prioritizing

our Alice series this year.

I know,

but just look at the data.

Whether it's emergency calls,

real-time communication,

or voice announcements,

Echo's system performs better.

And their "Call Assistant"

can communicate directly

with a central hub

to request help in real time.

For an elderly person in their 70s or 80s,

living alone at home,

that's crucial.

Telling me

all this is fine,

but headquarters won't approve it.

Won't all your hard work these past six months go to waste?

Think about

your team at least,

if not

for yourself.

I have. I've thought about it all.

But shouldn't I also think about why we took on this project

in the first place?

Isn't it to provide

the best possible care for the elderly?

You know, just the other day, my second aunt was talking about

"leaving this world."

She said she wanted to go while she still could

manage on her own, without needing anyone's help.

She didn't want to be a burden.

That made me think even more

about the purpose of this project.

To provide the best convenience for the elderly.

So, I want to choose the best product.

Isn't that right, Boss?

Alright, alright.

You've got a big vision.

I'll try to discuss it with headquarters again.

Thank you, Mr. Chai.

How will you thank me?

I'll treat you to a meal.

Your choice of place.

You've got a family to feed.

I wouldn't dare let you splurge.

Thanks, Boss.

Haiyang.

Xiang Zhong, your husband's here.

Why didn't you reply to my messages?

I need to talk to you. Step outside.

Can't you see I'm busy?

It'll be quick. Won't take much time.

Come on.

What is it? Out with it.

I still have documents to send.

Look, yesterday I didn't know you were at the hospital.

If I had known, I would've been there for you.

Spare me the empty words.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have had any expectations of you.

I was just out drinking with the guys.

With Qian Feng and the others.

We were just hanging out and drinking.

Then you called and asked me to bring you pants.

Isn't that just weird?

What's weird about that?

What's so embarrassing about bringing some pants for your wife?

It's not about embarrassment.

I couldn't just leave

my friends there, right?

Besides, why would you

go live streaming in such a windy place?

Are you crazy?

What's your point? Spit it out. I'm busy.

Well...

Do you really want me to call the police?

That's not the real problem between us.

All these years.

Every time we argue, you say you'll change, but here we are.

You never change.

Did you go to that technical exam I asked you to take? No.

Did you stop wasting time on drinking, barbecue, and gaming? No.

I'm done talking. I'm exhausted.

I'm tired.

No one signs up

for that exam.

Why should I be the only one?

Right?

Isn't hanging out with friends about drinking, eating, and singing?

Isn't that what everyone does? Why do I have to be different from everyone else?

So, you've had enough, huh?

I haven't.

Then let's get divorced.

No one will bother you about exams anymore.

You let me go, I'll let you go.

Alright?

I'm not divorcing.

Staying doesn't change anything.

What kind of life is this? It's meaningless.

No matter what, I won't divorce.

Mr. Lin.

Heading home?

Gao Ping.

Gao Ping.

Gao Ping!

Li Shu.

I called your name so many times.

Why didn't you respond?

I didn't hear you.

What's up?

Nothing.

It's just been a while since I last saw you.

I've been holed up at home writing my thesis.

Gao Ping, there's something I'd like to ask you about.

Go ahead.

Is it hard to get accepted as Prof. Yang's PhD student?

Are you planning to apply?

What's with that reaction?

You think I can't do it?

No, of course not.

If you prepare well,

you should be fine.

Well,

if there's something I don't understand,

could I ask you?

Ask Dayuan.

He's more knowledgeable.

Who says?

In our research institute, you're the top expert.

Not only are you knowledgeable,

but you're also good-looking and have a great personality.

All the female grad students

are your fans.

How are you getting home?

I'm taking the metro.

My car's right here.

Why don't I give you a ride to the metro station?

Is that alright?

It's no trouble.

I'll accept the free ride then.

Hop in.

Oh, right.

There's a baby seat in the back.

You can sit up front.

Are you sure it's appropriate for me

to sit in the front?

It's fine. Go ahead.

It smells so nice in here.

Is it this air freshener?

It's lovely.

Gao Ping, what's this scent?

I'm not sure.

My wife picked it out.

Your wife has a taste

for quality living.

Has Dayuan been visiting often lately?

Yes, he's been coming to see Professor Yang a lot.

Did Professor Yang

give him a project?

No, not really.

I heard Dayuan gave up

applying to overseas institutions.

That's good.

Gao Ping,

we all hope

you'll stay.

That way,

we can see you every day!

You took off your glasses.

Can you even see anything?

I can see everything

I want to see.

Wait!

If you lose a bit more weight, you might squeeze in.

I'm too average a person to follow trends.

No diet for me.

By the way,

did you find anything on that guy Jiang Hongbin,

Xiang Nan's boyfriend?

Is she really set

on marrying him?

Well, they're dating.

Listen to this.

Jiang Hongbin has been divorced for over five years.

His ex-wife and child are in Canada.

And?

Seems he's kept busy over the years,

especially with a woman named Ming Wei.

But recently, he's found a young,

sweet girl to marry.

This "young, sweet girl"

must be Xiang Nan, right?

Our Xiang Nan

is definitely not just a "sweet girl."

He's a successful entrepreneur.

He has a bit of a wild streak,

so don't hold it against him.

No hard feelings?

You should marry him yourself.

If he doesn't mind,

I'm fine with it.

Alright. Congrats on your wedding.

Dad.

Xiang Nan said Jiang Hongbin

wants to come over this Saturday.

Shouldn't we

meet him?

Of course, if it's the right time.

Xiang Zhong.

Why are you here?

- Xiang Zhong. - Slow down.

Listen to this!

Big news!

Xiang Nan wants

to bring Jiang Hongbin over

to the house on Saturday.

He's divorced and has a child, and you're okay with that?

What else can I do if I'm not?

It seems money still matters in the end.

I'm not someone

who cares about money alone.

Xiang Nan has genuine feelings for him.

Xiang Zhong.

At home, we can say whatever we like.

We're family.

But Jiang Hongbin isn't family yet.

He's still an outsider.

It'll be his first time visiting,

so, please.

Be careful what you say.

I have plans Saturday. I won't be there.

Plans?

Can't you reschedule?

This is a big deal for Xiang Nan.

And why should I make time for that?

How is her business my business?

Xiang Zhong,

you can't be against everyone!

You're implying I shouldn't go, right?

Fine, I just won't go.

Where did you get that idea?

I'm not saying you shouldn't go!

I'm just saying watch what you say.

This is how I talk.

I can't change it.

You...

Xiang Zhong.

Your mother and I watched the video.

I'm a viral star. What's so bad about that?

Don't take it too seriously.

In a few days, people will forget.

Remember your mother's big scandal?

And now?

Nobody talks about it anymore.

It's over.

Got it?

Stop bringing up bad memories.

If you don't know what to say, don't say anything, okay?

- I'm just trying to comfort you. - I'm leaving now.

Move.

No.

Move.

Just remember what I said.

I don't have time. I'm not going.

Xiang Zhong!

Don't say you're too busy!

You have to go!

I won't be there! I'm busy!

The conversation didn't go well, huh?

It soured after barely a few sentences in.

That girl.

If we hadn't sent her

to the countryside when she was young,

would she have turned out like this, you reckon?

We didn't have a choice.

It was the one-child policy.

And you held a government position.

True, but we are also at fault.

When the girls were young,

all our attention

went to Xiang Nan

and Xiang Qian.

We didn't think about her enough.

I blame you. Your favoritism was too obvious.

Oh, so you're blaming it all on me now?

Is it all my fault?

You didn't do anything? Really?

Good grief.

Enough. Let's stop arguing.

Qian.

What's up, Xiang Nan?

Qian, what are you doing here?

Our company

has a project in Suzhou,

so I stopped by the site

and thought I'd check on you.

I figured you probably haven't eaten yet,

so I brought you some pan-fried soup dumplings.

Perfect! I'm starving.

Let me see.

I can save this for breakfast tomorrow.

How thoughtful of you.

Where are the chopsticks?

Right here.

Here you go.

Did you eat?

I did. You go ahead.

Okay, I'm digging in.

Delicious!

There's soup too.

You're the best.

Oh, yeah.

This Saturday,

Jiang's coming over for dinner.

Did Dad tell you?

Yeah, he called this morning.

You two have only been dating for a bit over six months. In that time,

has he told you everything about himself?

Why? Heard something?

No,

I just thought I'd hear it from you.

He's already told me

about his past relationships.

He said he's settled things and moved on.

Worried?

Can I not?

He's a lot older than you.

I actually think

he's a very serious man.

When it comes to work,

he's very diligent.

He's constantly working overtime and going to meetings.

He doesn't spend much time on relationships,

and he doesn't treat them lightly.

Over the years, he's only had a few relationships,

and he's told me about each one.

I know how to judge a character.

I think as long as he's good to me,

that's all that matters.

I don't care about his past.

Who doesn't have a past?

Ah, the young and in love.

Alright.

If you're happy, that's what counts.

What do people say about you two?

Old man with a young girl.

That's it?

Beauty and the Beast.

Or that I'm a "naive, sweet girl."

Oh, so you know?

People really say that?

Well, that suits me just fine.

I like being a "naive, sweet girl."

What's so bad about that?

Simple, happy, and worry-free.

At least I'm sweet and cute.

Glad we paid for college.

Eat your dumplings.

Want some?

Not a bit.

You should watch her.

Her posture is excellent.

Look. It's her.

The instructor was just praising her posture.

But look, one gust of wind and she's blown away!

Isn't she a stick figure?

Right?

Look at her.

Look at how pathetic she is.

What is that? Hilarious.

Well, the wind certainly

wouldn't blow you guys away.

Wait a minute. What did she mean by that?

Is she calling us fat?

She must be talking about you.

I'm not nearly as fat as you.

I...

What are you looking at?

Reading a book.

A book?

What's so funny in that book?

An e-book.

Let me see.

Don't look.

- What's so funny? Let me see it. - Don't...

Xiang Zhong.

Xiang Zhong!

Qian Feng sent it to me.

What?

Are you happy now that I got blown away by the wind?

Is it my fault? You insisted on live streaming

despite the strong wind warning.

What use are you?

Deng Haiyang!

Get off my blanket!

I just finished drying it, and it smells fresh.

- What's the big deal? - It's not even fully dry yet.

Well, I'm just warming it up for you.

Nothing like a little human drying service!

You stink!

Why are you on my blanket?

What are you doing? Are you planning to sleep here?

I've told you a million times.

This is a shared space.

You can't just lounge around here.

Go back to your room!

My room's too small.

It's cramped, and it has no airflow.

It's so much nicer here.

Alright, if you're not moving,

then watch this.

I'll take a picture of you

and post it

on social media
