EPISODE 22

Hey.

You have truly surprised us!

Are you so blinded by infatuation that you'll abandon your family?

Have you lost your mind? You're such an idiot!

Wen Rui Fan!

I'm talking to you, Wen Rui Fan!

So you don't see me as your brother anymore either?

Here, drink some water.

Thank you.

Don't worry, Kang De has already gone to pick up Yu Meng.

Let her go to mom and dad's place and play with Zhuang Zhuang for a while.

And she can sleepover at my house tonight.

Okay.

Thank you.

Please be careful

of what you say in front of Yu Meng.

We'll pay attention to that. Don't worry.

By the way, don't let the affair slip in front of mom and dad, either.

I'm concerned about dad's health.

Okay?

All right, don't worry. I'll watch what I say.

How are you holding up?

Oliver,

I'm really worried about Brother-in-law.

I wonder how he's doing now.

Brother-in-law!

Auntie.

Auntie.

Thank you.

Wei En,

I remember when you and An Zhen visited me

the last time,

you really enjoyed the pickled radishes that I made. So I brought you some today.

Thank you, Auntie.

But I'm not sure if you can carry this on the plane.

By the way, Wei En,

you're going back to the United States, right?

I still remember that it was just Chinese New Year

when I first called An Zhen

and told her about how your dad pleaded with me

to ask her

to take you in for a few days.

At first An Zhen wanted to turn it down,

because she was afraid that this would displease Rui Fan.

Who knew that you would have so much fun at her place?

Auntie,

I suppose that you've heard about us.

If you have something to say,

you can be straightforward with me.

Don't wear a mask like An Zhen.

What mask?

I don't understand the language that you youngsters use these days.

But Wei En,

you're a grown up now,

so you should know better.

When you're a guest in someone's home,

you should be attentive and polite.

You should mind your attitude and you shouldn't steal from your host.

What do you mean?

You've stolen something from An Zhen, you should return it to her right away.

I just hope

that you stop acting so foolishly.

What a waste! Why did you throw away a good mattress?

I didn't throw it away.

I donated it to charity.

When there's a problem, you should try to solve it.

Crying doesn't solve anything.

I'm done crying.

Right now, I'm just angry.

He has been lying to me all this time.

He chose to lie,

because he didn't want you to find out.

This shows that he still cares about you

and doesn't want to leave you.

But I really can't tell whether he still cares about me.

Don't let anger cloud your mind.

My child, you're just like your father.

What a straight shooter.

Why did you go and hit her?

You only made Rui Fan pity her even more.

At that moment,

I just couldn't stand that she could still fake a smile at me,

so I lost my mind.

I never dreamed

that Wei En

could do such a thing.

I really regret

doing her dad the favor.

-It's all my fault! -Mom!

Don't think of it that way.

Don't blame yourself.

If I were you, I would have done the same.

So what did Rui Fan say?

I think

that he doesn't love me anymore.

He said that we should separate temporarily.

But I'm not stupid, I know that this will become permanent.

Mom, what do I do if he doesn't love me anymore?

Don't even think about that.

Rui Fan is just infatuated with Wei En.

He is not serious about her.

After Wei En leaves here,

he will come back to you. What else could he do?

What if Wei En doesn't leave?

Well,

then I would visit Wei En every day. She'll have no choice but to leave.

Okay?

An Zhen,

if you really love Rui Fan,

then you must forgive him.

An old proverb says,

"Even God makes mistakes, let alone human beings."

Right?

Mom, what's wrong?

It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just recovering from a cold.

Why don't I take you to a doctor tomorrow?

It's not necessary.

I'm recovering, so don't waste your money.

My child,

just don't make me worry about you.

Mom, I won't.

I'll listen to you.

An Zhen,

everyone makes mistakes in life.

You should forgive Rui Fan.

He will appreciate you more and he'll treat you better.

The master from the temple nearby once said,

"If you learn to be forgiving and generous,

then you'll be blessed with good fortune."

Okay?

-But Mom... -Yes?

I feel like...

I feel like this is the end of the world.

What should I do?

My child,

don't cry.

My good girl,

An Zhen.

Just remember

that life is sweet

and the future is sweet, too.

All right?

-Good morning, Ms. He. -Morning.

Ms. He.

How in sync our minds are! I was just thinking about making coffee.

It's such a shame that you don't work for me.

Next year, our branch office in Taoyuan will set up a marketing department.

The manager happens to be my friend.

He asked me to refer him someone who qualifies to be a team leader.

Would you be interested?

Not at all.

You people call me a she-devil behind my back, I know that.

But you need to get something straight.

You're a lucky girl.

Not everyone gets the chance to be chosen by the devil.

I understand that you find it hard to betray Rui Fan.

But if you really want to succeed,

you'll have to work for the right person and do the right things.

Blind loyalty won't get you anywhere.

If you can't see the reality of things, you'd better give up on your ambitions.

What do you want me to do for you?

Tell me everything that happens in the Sales Department.

What do you want to know?

-Is there anything going on with Mr. Wen? -His wife has recently started working.

Oh, right.

I just heard some interesting gossip.

But I'm not sure about its authenticity, can you look into it for me?

There's no need to, because I already know all about it.

Someone has been fooling around with her cousin's husband,

and of course her cousin couldn't take it.

Are you sure?

If you want me to work for you, you will have to believe in me.

But you switched side so abruptly. I don't trust people that easily.

Are you doing this

-for that position-- -No.

I don't care about that position

and you don't have to refer me, either.

Then, why are you doing this?

Because this reminds me of my ex-boyfriend.

We were about to get married,

but I found out that he had an affair.

I endured a lot of stress because of that.

I became depressed.

I no longer respect Mr. Wen.

I am not betraying him for you,

but for the sake of justice.

I have to tell you,

Wen Rui Fan has a slightly higher chance

of winning the position of vice president.

You see,

Rui Fan,

has the appearance, a loving family,

and he hasn't had any scandals.

I don't believe that.

I just haven't caught him yet.

I've finally got something on you.

What's wrong with the two of you?

Why haven't you turned in the report yet?

Are you waiting for him get it on his own?

Mr. Wen,

you haven't approved it yet. How could I have turned it in?

When did you give it to me?

I put it on your desk this morning.

You haven't even looked over it yet, I really couldn't turn it in.

I couldn't find you, either. So I didn't know what else to do.

By the way, the manager of the Taichung branch office just left.

You kept him waiting the whole afternoon,

so he was really upset when he left.

And,

this is my resignation letter.

I'll stay for another month to complete the job transition period.

Where are you going?

Actually,

a company has given me a better offer.

I rejected the offer at first,

because I wanted to work for you.

But now,

I think that I should change my job.

But don't worry. You still have Qi Qi.

Fine, go ahead and leave!

Ms. He.

Hey.

What makes our nice guy, Mr. Wen, lose his temper?

What do you want?

Nothing,

I just swung by to have a chat with you.

It seems like your department has a really easy job.

Why did you always have to work so late in the past?

Ai Lin, I'm really busy right now. I don't have the time to chat with you.

You're busy?

Don't worry,

you won't be very soon.

What do you mean?

I have a lot of things to say.

But since you're busy,

I should leave you alone.

What the hell?

Wei En?

Wei En?

Are you Mr. Wen?

-Yes. -Ms. Li has already moved out.

She left a message for you. She asked you not to look for her.

Wei En,

where are you going?

Qi Qi, why are you here?

Just to check on you. If you're still ill, I can take you to the hospital.

Thank you, I'm feeling much better actually.

I'm going to the airport.

Are you going back to the United States?

Does Mr. Wen know about this?

He doesn't know.

Besides,

it's none of his business.

Well, if you're not in a hurry, let me treat you to dinner.

Qi Qi, thank you,

but my flight's at midnight, I really should get going now.

I appreciate the gesture though.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

Hello? Ms. He?

What?

Her flight's at midnight?

All right, bye.

Wei En's flight, 24:00.

WEN RUI FAN

ANSWER

Hello? Who are you?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

This is so interesting!

Go to hell! How dare you hate me!

Go to hell! How dare you hate me! How dare you!

You didn't dare to bring me home.

You didn't dare

to tell your parents about me.

Do you dare?

Then tell them now!

Brother-in-law, having a soft heart is your only flaw.

You don't love An Zhen anymore,

yet you can't leave her because you feel sorry for her.

I can't do this anymore. Our relationship is like riding a swing.

One minute, we fly up into the sky.

Next minute, we fall down into the void.

I can't deal with your indecisiveness.

Wei En,

I'll make up my mind this time.

I won't let you get hurt.

Wei En!

Wei En! Please don't go!

Wei En!

Wei En!

Li Wei En!

Miss, is that man calling you?

Sir, I don't know him. Can you please drive faster?

Wei En!

Wei En!

Li Wei En!

Wei En, please don't go!

Wei En!

Wei En!

Wei En! Don't leave!

I can't continue driving. This is too dangerous.

Sir, why are you stopping the car?

Hey, you can't do this!

Get out of the car!

Brother-in-law, what are you doing?

Brother-in-law!

What exactly do you want?

-I'm sorry about that. -Thank you.

Please don't leave!

If I don't leave today, I'll still have to leave tomorrow.

Why don't you just let me go?

Please stay with me.

I love you.

I want you to be with me.

Really?

Yes, of course.

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm not afraid of anything.

This is a very difficult decision

for me,

but I'm willing to follow my heart.

As long as you love me,

no matter how many people try to obstruct me or criticize me,

I'll not back down.

An Zhen, I didn't expect you to come to work today.

I even wanted to tell you to quit and focus on fighting this battle.

Hey, how did my brother explain things to your mom yesterday?

Last night, Rui Fan...

didn't come home.

He didn't go home?

Even if Hao Kang De and I had a fight, he would never not come home.

Wow! What's wrong with Rui Fan?

Hey, I'll tell Hao Kang De

-to make my brother-- -Rui Xuan, don't do that.

My mom, she told me that I should be patient.

She said that this is a battle to see who has a stronger will.

I think she's right.

And if I stay home and do nothing, I'll just overthink everything.

Moreover,

if I see Yu Meng and her innocent face,

I'll definitely have a breakdown.

So I'm really thankful for this job. Thank you.

I mean it.

I'm having trouble sleeping because of you two.

This is just so unbelievable.

My brother used to be a family man.

What has happened to him?

Hey, Rui Fan!

Come on, you look like you're having trouble.

Couldn't you use some advice from a master like me?

I'm busy right now. I don't need a lecture from you.

Besides, you wouldn't understand.

So your love story is special and every one else's is just crap?

Hey, Wen Rui Fan, you...

Oh, my!

Good morning, Mr. Wen. Good morning, Mr. Hao.

Good morning, Mr. Hao. Good morning, Mr. Wen.

You!

Oh, right! Are you here to hand over your work?

I see.

Have a safe trip home.

Hand over? Wei En has decided to stay.

All right, that's good news. Hurry up and pick up where you left off.

Yes, Mr. Wen.

Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Hao?

Well, he's probably just to thrilled to hear that I'm staying.

You idiot!

Pretending not to be close?

This only proves that you two have become more intimate.

You're so bold now. What are you thinking?

Aren't you a master of love? Can't you tell what I'm thinking?

Wei En is not leaving anymore,

does this mean that you two are going to be together?

I know that you won't approve of my decision,

but...

can you just hear me out?

An Zhen is a good wife.

She really is a good wife.

I do care about her.

This is my fault,

so I'll try my best to make it up to her.

Yes, I'm having an affair,

but it's not because I despise her.

Then, can you please tell me

why you're doing this?

I don't know when it began,

but I don't recognize myself anymore.

I used to be a living tree,

but I got cut down and made into furniture.

This is not An Zhen's fault,

I don't know whose fault it is.

Right now, I only know

that I like who I am

when I'm with Wei En.

I feel totally different when I'm with her.

When I laugh,

I laugh from the bottom of my heart.

When I cry, I cry like a little child.

I feel alive again.

I feel like a living tree again.

I'm no longer just a part of the machine that keeps our family running.

An Zhen and I have both become parts of this machine.

We each serve a function, but we have lost ourselves.

Tell me,

what is the purpose of being alive?

Becoming a part of a machine? Is that really the purpose?

Perhaps.

But unlike you,

I don't question life, so I don't feel the same way as you do.

But that's life,

isn't it?

We pursue a stable life, not a chaotic one.

All right,

if you continued your relationship with Wei En,

you would start another ordinary family.

Then, you would just become a part of another machine.

No, I wouldn't.

Wei En is a special girl.

Our life would be full of unlimited possibilities.

Our house could be messy.

We probably wouldn't cook.

And we could have a huge fight

about who's going to do the laundry.

But if I told her that I didn't feel like driving,

that I wanted to get a big motorcycle,

she would definitely support me.

Or if I told her I wanted to quit my job

and pursue my dream as a writer,

then she would fully support me, too.

Well, okay,

I think that I kind of understand now.

But, my brother,

aren't you being way too naive?

The two of you are head over heels in love with each other now.

To be accurate, you're in the infatuation stage.

This is a stage filled with excitement and full of spices.

It's like having a spicy hotpot.

But you can't have a spicy hotpot every day.

When you suffer from intense diarrhea,

you'll begin to miss plain rice.

Rice is what you should eat every day.

Rice is a staple food.

Everyone has different tastes.

Everyone has the freedom to pursue whatever lifestyle they want.

Then tell me, what kind of lifestyle do you want?

I'm not entirely a romanticist. I won't become a vagabond or a hippie.

Currently, my most important goal is

to become vice president of our company.

I want to let Yu Meng and An Zhen

live a good life.

All right,

but promise me,

be nice to An Zhen.

She is your wife after all.

I can't look at you now,

because I don't know what to do with you anymore.

-Can't you just support me? -Support you?

If I support you, I'll get a divorce sooner than you will.

Good afternoon, Ms. He.

Hi.

Why didn't you eat lunch with your cousin's husband today?

Well,

I don't usually have lunch with Mr. Wen.

I see.

I've mistaken you two then.

Are you all right?

You look worn out.

When a young woman is in distress,

love must be the reason.

I'm not in a relationship.

You remind me of my younger self.

I was really messed up, too.

At that time, I fell in love with a married man.

He told me that he loved me.

But then,

he wouldn't divorce his wife for me.

He told me that it would jeopardize his career.

What a lousy excuse.

Now that I think of it, I kind of regret

that I didn't force him

to divorce his wife and marry me.

That was the least he could do, don't you think so?

I'm just curious,

if you were me,

what would you have done?

If I were you,

I wouldn't force him to do anything.

As long as he loves me,

I don't care about anything else.

Young people are just so different,

we have such different perspectives.
