EPISODE 28

Are there many things going on around you these days?

Well.

A few things.

I won't be beating around the bush.

To be honest,

the president has heard about the changes in your marriage,

and she knows that the mistress is your wife's cousin.

Well, the president is a woman.

You know that, too.

Women are very sensitive about this kind of stuff.

She asked me to find out

if the rumor is true.

It's true.

But I'm already divorced.

The president thinks

that if you can still maintain your image,

she'll still keep you on the candidate list for VP.

But if you can't,

then...

So do you mean

I would be fine

if we kept our relationship a secret?

Is that what you mean?

Please answer me directly.

Watch out.

Your future is on the line.

My answer is,

I love Li Wei En

and I shouldn't have to report this to anyone.

Mr. Zhuang, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore.

I'll resign.

You...

How could you do this to me?

-Indeed. I resigned. -But...

Why did you resign at this critical time when you might become the new VP?

You don't understand the situation.

Even if I don't resign, I would be fired later.

Why?

Because Wei En and I...

The president wanted to know if we're really in a relationship.

You should have denied it all the way.

I admitted to it.

You lied when you shouldn't be lying.

But when you should be lying, you didn't.

What's done is done.

-I'm fine. -Are you sure you're fine?

The economy is so bad now.

Where else do you think you can get such a good position?

I've always been lucky,

haven't I?

You've totally lost your mind because of that filth.

Don't you get it?

But I love her.

Just as I expected.

She's like the Helen of Troy.

That filth!

Don't worry.

I can easily get another job.

It's nothing.

This is my fault!

This is my fault!

Don't say that.

Ai Lin has people pulling strings for her.

Perhaps no matter how hard I tried, I can never be the VP.

-But-- -No buts.

I always believe that you're my lucky star.

Finish the food.

I got to go fetch Yu Meng later.

Come on, Yu Meng. Eat up.

Dad, when will Mom be back? I don't want to eat lunch boxes anymore.

Yu Meng, be a good girl. I will cook for you tomorrow.

But you're dumb! I know you can't cook at all.

Perhaps Grandma brought us some nice food.

Wait here.

Surprise!

Why are you here?

I'm moving in to keep you company.

You shouldn't.

An Zhen's not around anyway.

What if she comes back suddenly and sees you?

You're already divorced.

Why are you still scared of her?

I just don't want you to get hurt.

I won't! I'm not scared at all.

Yu Meng, did you miss me?

I did!

-Yu Meng has gone to bed? -Yes.

-Wei En. -Yes?

I still think you shouldn't...

Don't worry.

If An Zhen uses violence against me again,

I'll definitely strike back this time. I'm not scared at all.

-Isn't this... -Yes.

I photo-shopped my face into it.

Hey, stop kidding.

What's the matter?

I just did it for fun.

Don't put it there. What if Yu Meng sees it?

Come on. Just for one night.

Whatever. Go to bed.

Hey! Where are you going? You're not sleeping here?

No way! What if Yu Meng sees us?

All right.

We're going to go public soon anyway.

I must have the complete you by then.

You heard me?

Got it.

Where's my puzzle?

I put it away.

Why did you put it away?

You told me you were only going to put it up for a night.

Give it back.

I'll give it back to you after we move out from here.

I don't get you at all.

Why are you so scared of An Zhen and Yu Meng?

I'm not scared of them.

I just don't want to provoke them again.

So you don't mind...

provoking me?

Wei En.

Stop making a fuss over it.

You got to understand my situation.

Okay?

I know you do.

Let's have breakfast. I have to go to work later.

What work?

I'm going to make some calls

to look for some opportunities.

Red wine from South America.

Silky smooth... with a bitter aftertaste.

Just like...

bitterness amidst a sweet feeling.

It's the taste of love.

Bittersweet.

What happened?

Hey, why did you throw out the plate?

What are you looking at?

What's so surprising?

I told you so many times.

A lady should never panic no matter what happens.

This is only your first end-of-term test.

The next examiner is going to be so much more tough.

Who is it?

My mom.

My mom has really sharp eyes.

You'll only be considered passed if you get her to praise you.

Today...

you failed!

We've had pizzas and fried chickens for a few days.

How about this? Let's cook ourselves tomorrow.

It's okay.

What's wrong with eating pizza and fried chicken?

Hello, Mr. Zhou?

Rui Fan.

I gave some thoughts to what you said two days ago.

I have no doubts at all regarding your creativity and results.

But I'm afraid

that Jerry will be paranoid

thinking that I'm going to dismiss him.

You know Jerry too.

-I-- -Thank you, Mr. Zhou.

I understand.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

-Mom. -Hi.

-Hey, where is she? -In there.

But Mom, listen to me.

Xie An Zhen and I are just friends.

Are you kidding me? Just friends?

If you two are just friends, why introduce her to me so formally?

Then why is she's even going to cook for me?

Mom! It's true. We're just friends.

All right then. Let me meet your friend.

You must be An Zhen, right?

Hi, Mrs. Lan.

Hey, your An Zhen is so pretty.

Mom!

Not at all. I think you're pretty.

-And you look so young. -Really?

Mrs. Lan, why don't you have a seat in the living room?

-Dinner will be ready soon. -Okay.

Hey, she's so trendy and pretty. Can she cook?

Guess what her occupation is.

That's a rather difficult question.

But she's tall and slender.

I'm sure she'll be a hit if she becomes a model.

-A model? -Yes.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

A model?

Hey.

Wow! These dishes have all color, flavor and taste.

So you really can cook.

Thank you.

Mr. Lan told me that you love drinking soups,

so I specially made you lotus root and pork soup.

I hope you like it.

-This one? -Yes.

Tasty!

Stop praising her. She'll become arrogant.

Are you worried that she'll be too arrogant and go beyond your reach?

Mrs. Lan, I...

I apologize.

My sincerest apologies. But he got me worried for so many years.

Mr. Lan is very outstanding. You don't have to worry at all.

He's outstanding? Ah!

Oh, my goodness!

-Here. -My scarf.

-It's fine. -Hurry!

What should we do?

My cashmere scarf is doomed.

-Hurry. Apply some more water. -Okay.

Oh, my.

-It won't get off. -Come on!

Hey, that won't help!

Wait a moment.

Hey, listen.

I saw a newspaper article about how we should get rid of

soy sauce stain on our clothes.

There were two ways.

One of them was to apply ammonia, and the other one was to use lotus root.

What a coincidence. We have lotus root.

Mrs. Lan.

My apologies. Don't you worry.

I never tried this before, but I'll do my best

to clean your scarf.

We should try anyhow. Done. Mrs. Lan, come here.

Let's apply some.

Oh, it's working!

Indeed.

Right. This seems to be effective.

I'll apply some more.

-It seems to be working. -Not bad, right?

Hey, this is really good.

It's working.

Why do you look upset? Are you cursing my scarf?

Come on. please continue.

You're such a failure!

After so much training, you couldn't even get through this stage.

You showed your true self at the critical point.

How are you going to win your husband back?

Maybe we should just give up.

You have no potential at all.

What's wrong with me?

Yu Meng.

Mom isn't scared.

No matter how hard this gets, Mom isn't scared.

For you, I must make it.

Hello, An Zhen?

It's been such a long time. Why won't you meet me?

When is it going to end? I have so much to tell you.

All right, Rui Xuan.

Listen.

This weekend,

you and Kang De will invite Rui Fan and Wei En for lunch.

Why?

Anti-Terrorist Plan shall begin.

Xie An Zhen, are you done yet?

I bought this dress myself.

Is it bad?

It looks okay.

-Mr. Lan. -Yes?

I just wanted to confirm.

Are we really going to pretend that we're going on our first date?

What's the matter? Any objection?

No, I'm just not sure if we really have to act.

Do you think I want to do this? This is to get Wen Rui Fan jealous.

We've been training for so long just for this purpose.

But

I just got divorced. Will others think that I...

-What about my reputation? -Gosh.

I didn't even care about my reputation. Are you seriously worrying about yours?

Will your reputation be damaged if people see you with me?

Not really.

So what do you really want?

Nothing. I'll follow your order.

Xie An Zhen, I'm doing you a favor.

But if you've changed your mind and don't want to win your husband back,

it's okay. We can all relax.

That sounds good too.

No way.

No.

I don't want to give up.

Let's go.

-Kang De. -Yes?

Why are you buying us lunch suddenly?

I have no idea. This is my wife's idea.

Might as well enjoy it.

Miss, can you tell me the time?

It's 12:30 p.m., oh, my!

An Zhen!

Wow!

Wow! How did you become so gorgeous?

Wow. You're so classy!

Hey, you look like a model.

I've known you for so long, and I thought you looked just okay.

I never knew you could become so pretty.

Wow.

Hey, Mr. Lan is really a magician.

Your transformation is such a big success. This is magic!

Long story. I'll fill you in later.

Okay.

But before we go in there, I have two things to tell you.

The first thing is Rui Fan is unemployed now.

The second thing is

that haunting Wei En moved

into your house with Rui Fan.

Say something.

I got it. It's okay.

That won't affect our plan today.

Rui Xuan.

We need you for the show today.

-I know. No problem. -Okay.

This is weird.

I can sense something's changed in you.

But I can't tell what.

You look gorgeous.

Honey, you're the one who wanted to have lunch together.

What time is it now? You're so late.

Rui Xuan.

If you're planning to throw harsh words at us again,

Wei En and I will leave now.

Oh, no, no. I won't.

I just thought since things have turned out this way,

and what's done is done,

what else can I do?

Rui Xuan,

if you accept me,

I would be really happy.

Oh...

That doesn't matter.

I just hope the two of you...

I also encouraged An Zhen

to rebuild her self-confidence and begin a whole new life.

I just hope the two of you will leave her alone.

If An Zhen is living a new happy life, of course we'll be happy for her too.

Indeed.

If An Zhen can have her own life,

I... I'll be very delighted.

I'll never stand in her way.

Great to hear that.

-So now An Zhen can start dating again. -What?

Who is An Zhen dating?

Dating?

Oops! Did I say "dating"?

My English is poor. I apologize.

I was trying to get the waiter. Let's order our food.

All right, honey.

Waiter!

Waiter!

Wait...

Wait a minute.

You're...

-Let's go. -Okay.

An Zhen?

Hey, what a coincidence.

Fate brought us together today.

-What a fate. -Indeed. I didn't expect to see you here.

What a coincidence.

You're back?

Yes. I just arrived.

Mr. Lan is treating me to lunch.

An Zhen.

Are you really my sister-in-law?

Stop calling me that, Kang De. I'm not your sister-in-law anymore.

Okay.

Wei En.

Hi.

Hi.

-An Zhen, I made a reservation. -Okay.

All right. Let's meet up again soon.

Hey, no way!

No, since we bumped into one another, let's eat together.

It's okay. It's on me today. I'm the host. Don't worry.

No objections, right? Okay. Let's sit together.

Waiter! Two more seats here, please.

Thanks! Let's sit together.

Shall we try the '99 Napa Valley red wine?

Sure.

-You have such a good taste. -Thank you.

Rui Xuan.

I'm having a headache.

-Can I-- -I'm the host today.

Are you trying to embarrass me?

Or are you embarrassed of yourself?

Of course not.

I just wanted to have a glass of warm water.

Okay.

Waiter!

Can we have a glass of super boiling hot water?

Thanks.

Is it okay?

Great.

I'll attend it tomorrow.

You're welcome.

Hey!

What are you up to?

What's wrong?

Are you really courting her?

Yes. Isn't An Zhen a great woman?

She's elegant, gorgeous and generous.

Also, she's gentle and cares for others.

She's much more lovely than some unreasonable girls.

But she's divorced and has a kid.

And she's older than you.

The same goes for your boyfriend.

Wei En,

since you've found the person you like,

why bother about me?

Do you think I care about you?

I care about An Zhen.

If you really care about her that much,

give her back her husband.

Damn!

I just can't believe my eyes!

That woman I saw was a model.

She's definitely not An Zhen. I don't believe it at all.

Kang De.

Find out from Rui Xuan

regarding An Zhen's relationship with that guy.

Why? Are you jealous now?

I'm not jealous, I'm just concerned about her.

You let go of such a treasure.

Hide in your room and cry.

Rui Xuan.

Let me handle it.

Thank you, Mr. Lan.

You're rich, so I shouldn't argue with you.

Thanks.

Let me pay.

That won't do.

This is our first date.

No.

I insist.

-Honey! -What's the matter?

Just tell me. What are you two up to?

What do you mean?

Hey, aren't you happy to see An Zhen's transformation?

I'm very happy.

But the problem is

instead of my sister-in-law, she's more like a model now.

Hey, Hao Kang De. This is the last warning.

She's no longer your sister-in-law!

Would you rather see An Zhen stay at home in tears every day?

Of course not.

That's right. Listen to me.

The old Xie An Zhen is never coming back.

Well, but my sister-in-law...

I mean An Zhen.

An Zhen and that guy--

Hey, what do you mean by "that guy"? Watch your words.

Mr. Lan is a director.

You have no idea how rich he is. You dumbhead.

So what if he's rich?

You want An Zhen and Rui Fan to reconcile too, don't you?

Touch wood! I never wanted that.

Just cut the crap!

If An Zhen could get married to Mr. Lan,

that would be great.

She's going to live a great life.

Go ahead and tip off your best friend, Wen Rui Fan.

Hey, what should I do now?

They're both staying at my house. How should I deal with them?

Remember to pretend that you don't care about Wen Rui Fan.

When he's talking to you, drop a few sentences and leave.

But the main point is you still have to casually let him know

that you still care a little about him.

So I have to be a little cold, but not too cold.

Exactly.

How about Wei En?

About her?

You can do whatever you want with her. Go all out.

Better still, upset her. Let her lose her mind.

Okay. I'll do my best.

I'm really happy today.

I hope I can be happy every day from now on.

Hey, it's all thanks to you.

Thank you, sir.
