EPISODE 26

Mr. Lan, I think I should tell you this before we go in.

An Zhen might not respond to you.

Why not?

She hasn't come to work for a few days. She should tell me why.

Yeah, honey.

It's probably not that serious.

You'll see.

Wow.

An Zhen.

Ugh.

An Zhen.

Xie An Zhen, get up.

An Zhen.

An Zhen.

-Is it morning? -It's nighttime now, not morning.

When I left yesterday, didn't you promise that you'd take a shower?

It seems like you didn't move at all.

-Come on, let's wash your face. -No!

Let me finish this episode.

Xie An Zhen!

Why are you acting like this?

Mr. Lan, take a seat anywhere.

Hey!

That episode is the great part! His wife is coming back for revenge!

What about you?

Is staying home in a slump your method of revenge?

Hey!

Mr. Lan, please be nice. She's my sister-in law.

Is she still your sister-in-law?

Hao Kang De, shut up.

We couldn't do anything about her. So I had Mr. Lan to come and try.

Aren't you very feisty at the company?

You should be thinking about how to get revenge!

What revenge?

That only happens on TV.

So what if you got a divorce?

Lots of people are divorced!

You're not the most miserable person.

My dad had a mistress.

When he died in a car accident, that woman was in his car.

Do you know how devastating that was for my mom?

She was heartbroken.

But, in order to be a good role model for me,

she took me to the States to study. She became a psychologist to help others!

What about you?

You have a kid.

What kind of role model are you?

Do you want her to think that

when life is hard, you should just laze on the couch all day?

The best revenge is success.

Why can't you get up and be a successful woman and mother?

The idea of success

is way too far away from me.

I'm such a failure.

Why should I try to convince myself that

life is sweet and the future is sweet too?

What do you mean success is too far away?

You aren't even trying to get out of the house.

Alright. I'm warning you right now.

If you don't come back to work within three days,

don't ever come back!

An Zhen,

are you okay?

Damn it.

I didn't get to watch this episode.

Honey, what are you doing?

Getting a towel to wash her face.

Oh.

Well,

I have something to say.

What?

-You're going out again tonight? -No!

I'm not going to do that anymore.

What is it? Spit it out.

Honey!

What is this?

Hao Kang De, what did you do this time?

-I-- -Did you knock up another girl?

No! I just thought about us in the past.

I came here and saw

how sad and depressed An Zhen is. So I remembered...

when you caught me cheating in the past.

Even though you were mad

and you scolded me and hit me,

I know that deep down in your heart,

you were just as sad as An Zhen.

Honey,

I'm so very sorry.

Before we got married, I promised

to take care of you forever

and make you happy.

But I didn't do that.

I'm such a bad husband.

Hao Kang De,

are you feeling sick?

Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?

Honey, I swear to God,

starting from today,

apart from work, I'll never save another girl's number again.

I also swear to you

that I will never let you be sad again.

I want to sincerely

say that I'm sorry.

I hope that you, my wife,

can give me another chance

and that you can sincerely

forgive me.

Really?

Of course! 100% real!

Of course I'll forgive you.

Thank you, honey.

I...

I want to hug you right now.

This feels so good.

My heart feels so good, too.

Hey,

An Zhen's down there by herself.

Go downstairs now and work your talent.

If you can make her laugh, I'll be very proud of you.

An Zhen, have some noodles.

After that, have some chocolate.

-It's so sweet that you'll feel happy. -Yep!

I'm sure that your future is bright

-and you'll be very happy. -Of course!

But that Wen Rui Fan will be very unlucky.

I've been to Wei En's house.

Her house is super messy. Her clothes are all piled on the floor.

-It even smells bad. Eww! -Eww!

I hope that Wen Rui Fan

becomes her servant!

Cook for her, wash for her, and mop for her.

-I hope so, too! -Yeah!

I hope that Wen Rui Fan

will go bald after 40.

Not only will he go bald, he'll grow grey hair!

He'll have a huge beer belly.

His chest and butt will sag.

-Most importantly, -What?

for the rest of his life,

he'll have erectile dysfunction!

Yay!

Awesome!

-Isn't that kind of mean? -That's what the mistress gets.

She thinks she got a great deal, but it's actually not!

Yeah! His penis will be like a blade of grass.

Snap!

-That's so funny! -Isn't it?

Honey,

saying bad things about him doesn't work anymore.

I think

it's time to take action.

Go!

Hey!

Let's dance! One, two, three, go!

Stop it!

Not funny!

This is great!

We finally don't have to worry about being seen.

But it's weird to keep staying in hotels.

It doesn't feel right.

Are you mad that I gave everything to An Zhen?

Of course not.

It's the right thing to do.

In a few days, I'll take you to meet my parents.

Will they accept me?

My mom loves me

and she also likes you.

She'll be alright.

But my dad will definitely be mad.

He has a soft heart though, so if you're nice and willing to wait,

I'm sure he'll come around.

-Really? -Yes.

We can live at my parents' place and find our own place soon.

Anything you say.

But for now, I have to console two people.

Who?

An Zhen can't be like this.

What should we do? Get Yu Meng back?

It's not good to let Yu Meng see her mom like this.

RUI FAN

It's Rui Fan.

Pick it up.

What?

-You're inviting us out? -What?

What do you want from us?

Is An Zhen okay?

Thanks to you and Wei En,

she's in a terrible state right now.

Rui Fan,

let me be honest with you.

After the divorce, she's been slumping around like a zombie.

This is all your fault.

Like,

why did you have to get a divorce on impulse?

An Zhen is hurt. Why would you pick such timing?

Actually, I didn't even...

Never mind. I don't want to explain.

Wen Rui Fan, are you crazy?

You ruined a happy family.

You destroyed it with your own hands.

If you have any conscience left, ask yourself this.

Didn't An Zhen help you

-become who you are now? -Of course she did.

I am grateful for that. I gave her everything.

But I can't deny that I love someone else.

If I stay, we'll both be unhappy.

Kang De, Rui Xuan.

How dare you come here?

Don't say my name.

You're a terrible human being.

You don't deserve to call my name.

Disgusting.

I know that you're still mad at me.

But Rui Fan and I are in love.

If you're willing to accept me,

I'll try my best to be sincere. Rui Fan will also be happy.

Oh.

OK, I see.

Hey, honey.

They didn't invite us out to check on An Zhen.

It's to accept them as a couple.

Let's go. We don't have to be here.

Can't you guys be reasonable?

I want you to accept her because I care about my sister and my friend.

I can't change my love for her.

Wen Rui Fan, are you mad?

You're masking your selfishness with your own sense of justice.

I agree.

Everyone, including yourself, has spoiled you.

You think you can just do whatever you want?

Are you done?

In a few days, I'll take her home and tell Mom and Dad.

I'm divorced now. I'm going to be with her.

-Are you crazy? -What do you want me to do?

I'm already divorced. What do you want me to do?

I'm sick of pretending and hiding.

Did you even think of Mom and Dad's feelings?

They'd find out anyways.

I'm warning you one last time.

You are a terrible, disgusting person.

I refuse to acknowledge your existence.

You'd better not say a word. Understand?

Okay.

Pretending all the time

isn't going to make An Zhen feel better.

How about this,

in two weeks,

Dad's going to the hospital to get a heart check-up.

You either wait until Dad dies

or the check-up shows that he's okay.

Then you can tell them about your new relationship.

You'll have to explain everything to them.

We won't interfere.

Is that good enough?

Thanks.

Let's go.

This cheating couple makes me sick.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

I already knew

that it would turn out like this.

But for you,

I can endure anything.

An Zhen.

You...

What happened to you?

What?

Tell me.

What happened to your house?

-Mom. -Yes?

I got a divorce.

I'm so frustrated.

I don't want to face this.

I feel like a failure.

I can't even keep my own husband.

That's nonsense.

You're the best.

You silly child.

Why didn't you tell Mom?

You've been suffering by yourself.

I couldn't tell you.

I felt embarrassed.

Rubbish!

Why should you feel embarrassed?

How could this happen?

-Mom? Why did this happen? -An Zhen.

Let me tell you something.

It might help.

What?

I came this time

to do another check-up

in order to be sure.

I might have lung cancer.

Your mom

has never smoked in her life.

I've never been in a polluted place for a long time.

Why would I have lung cancer?

There must be a reason.

But I don't know it.

An Zhen,

in our lives,

we all come across things like this.

It's normal, okay?

-How can you laugh about it? -Because I'm not afraid.

I'll be treated for it.

If the treatment doesn't work,

I'll accept whatever happens.

I think of it as a trip abroad.

I'm curious what other countries look like.

Why did you say it might help me?

Calm down now.

I'm not done yet.

We can't control everything

that happens in life.

So when things happen,

we need to remember

to not to be afraid.

Whatever happens,

don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Hey,

repeat after Mom.

Don't be afraid.

Come on.

Be a good girl.

Repeat after me.

Come on.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Yes. Be brave.

Be braver.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Good.

Don't be afraid.

Xie An Zhen,

you're finally here.

Mr. Lan,

I'm here to apply for leave.

Are you serious?

-How longer are you going to be sad? -No.

My mom is in Taipei, and I'm taking her to the hospital.

We need to check if it's lung cancer.

Hello, Mom?

Can you give me Mr. He's number?

Yes, Mr. He in the pulmonary department.

Nope. My friend needs him.

Okay.

This is my mother's friend.

He's an expert in the pulmonary field. I'll refer you to him.

I'll let you know when to go.

Thank you, Mr. Lan.

Stop talking and get that application for leave done.

Mr. Lan, you are so good at this!

Mr. Lan, after meeting you, Mr. Liu kept complimenting you.

So he talked to me

and asked me to introduce his daughter to you.

His daughter has a master's degree.

And she's as pretty as a model. Super hot.

Most importantly, she's very picky, so she needs the perfect Mr. Right.

So I thought

since you are also a perfectionist, maybe you two could hit it off.

His daughter is perfect!

Oh, really?

If I'm lying, you can take away all my sales this month.

Can you please meet her?

It's hard to find such a perfect match.

Can you please make some time for her?

Mr. Lan, please.

Mr. Liu's brought this up quite a few times.

If you don't agree, I won't be able to get inside their company anymore.

Please take a look?

Sure. Go arrange it.

Thank you, Mr. Lan.

Thank you so much. I'll do it right now.

The surgery's been scheduled.

Don't worry about anything.

I'm not worried.

I'm not afraid, either.

Mrs. Xie, you're the most optimistic patient ever.

You're a good doctor. I'm in good hands.

Thank you.

-Have some rest. -Okay.

Thank you, doctor.

-I'm fine. -Let me get some water.

Mr. He, thank you.

Tien Wei, is Ms. Xie your girlfriend?

No, she's just a friend.

Your mom always says you're cold, but I think you're very nice.

Hey.

Your mom is so optimistic.

She's always smiling.

And you?

If I didn't know, I would have thought that you were the sick one.

My mom is so great.

I can't compare with her.

Yeah.

Even when facing death,

she's so fearless and brave.

Your problems are surely smaller.

If she can do it, you can, too.

I think I'm just a failure.

I hate it when you say that.

Xie An Zhen,

you can decide what kind of person you want to be.

Did you decide to be who you are now?

Yes.

My dad cheated on my mom

and died in a car accident with his mistress.

I saw my mom cry her eyes out

and decided

that throughout my lifetime,

I would be very disciplined.

I'll never be like my dad and hurt others.

I must be perfect.

There's no room for error.

That's why I despise those who can't control themselves.

They are failures.

Hey, but

lots of people can't control themselves.

And I believe that they have their reasons.

Maybe they need help.

Maybe they need compassion.

You can't just look at the results. You should be compassionate.

Okay.

Can you be compassionate to Wei En and your husband?

Compassionate? That's nonsense.

If I...

try to be compassionate,

I think that I was wrong, too.

I had my own idea of happiness.

I thought a stable and happy life was happiness.

But that's my idea. What about my husband's?

Maybe he didn't want

what I gave him.

During our ten-year of marriage,

he's been a good husband.

I didn't have to worry much.

I know that he resisted lots of temptations out there.

I can't deny the good things

just because he forced me to get a divorce.

I think

if he is willing

to abandon Yu Meng and I,

it means that he really loves Wei En.

Wei En...

I don't hate her.

I have problems with Rui Fan.

It's not her problem.

I hate myself more. I'm so stupid.

I thought I understood marriage, but I don't.

I don't even understand myself.

I've never been like you

and thought about what kind of person I want to be.

Never once.

I've never thought about

what kind of role model I can be for Yu Meng.

I don't know what I've done in the past 30 years. Probably nothing.

Is your goal of doing things

having social status or money?

I never use those things to judge a person.

You said you've never thought of what kind of person you want to be.

But in my eyes,

it's very clear what kind of person you are.

When we first met,

you were mad that I took your vase.

You even broke it.

When you mistook me for a rejected insurance salesperson,

a poor man,

you still encouraged me sincerely.

When you were in the hospital from that car accident,

the first thing you asked when you woke up

wasn't about yourself.

It was about your client.

Xie An Zhen,

this is the kind of person you are.

Don't you know?

You say you don't know what kind of role model you can be,

but you're already the best role model.

I know

that your child will be like you when she grows up.

She'll be very kind.

She will be able to bring warmth to those around her.

Thank you.

Rui Xuan always says

that I don't love myself enough.

What is loving yourself?

Being selfish?

Or eating good food, wearing good clothes, and enjoying life?

I think that's not loving yourself.

People who love themselves

are the ones who don't humiliate themselves.

So it's not you that doesn't love yourself.

It's Wei En and your husband.

Thanks for saying all this.

I feel better now.

We are lucky.

We had good mothers.

Your mother's courage and accepting attitude

is very inspiring. Even I think so.

Haven't you learned anything from her?

Yeah,

I'm her daughter.

I should be like her.

I believe in you.

Just find the courage you had when we were playing paintball.

Okay.

I always keep my eyes on the prize.

What about the process?

Is that not important?

During the process, the only thing

I care about is myself.

Mr. Lan.

Mr. Lan, have you been here for a while?

-No. I Just got here. -Okay.

Mr. Lan, is this place okay?

It's pretty relaxing.

I don't mind.

Okay. Let's meet Ms. Liu.

-Over here. -Okay.

Mr. Lan, have a seat.

Ms. Liu, this is our director, Mr. Lan.

Hi, I'm Liu Xin Yuan.

Hi, I'm Lan Tien Wei.

Okay, my mission is accomplished.

I hope you two fall...

Sorry, that's a bit too much. I'll get going now.

Mr. Lan, my father had lots of good things to say about you.

Mr. Liu is too kind. Ms. Liu, you are very accomplished as well.

You're so successful but don't have a girlfriend.

That's a surprise.

I'm surprised that you don't have a boyfriend.

I strive to be a perfect woman.

I hope that I can find a perfect man.

You are actually quite close to my ideal boyfriend.

But I don't know why

something is missing.

Isn't it that being perfect is kind of too boring?

Hmm.

That's right.

That's how I feel.

I heard people say that

"The reason man feels pain

is because he is pursuing wrong things."

Is striving for perfection wrong?

It didn't make me happy.

How did you discover this?

Did you fall in love with an imperfect person?

It's because I found out

that I'm not a perfect person.

I have lots of flaws.

But,

a woman who I felt was imperfect

has actually grown on me.

That's because you love her.

So you overlook her flaws.

You're very imaginative.

I hope we can both find someone who isn't perfect

but we love.

Okay.

I believe that

we can surely become good friends.

Yes.

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye.

She's close to perfect.

Why don't I feel anything?

That's because you love her.

So you overlook her flaws.

I'm your daughter.

I must be like you.

I must be brave.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.
