[Couple of Mirrors] [Episode 5]

Reporter Xie, what a handsome face and what beautiful handwriting!

Where? Where? Where is it? Let me see, let me see.

Wait!

Where's his picture?

Do you still need to see his picture?

Haven't you already cut out a lot of them already?

I bet you even hug it while you sleep.

Don't exaggerate so much!

He's just a reporter.

If I want to see him, then I'll just go meet him.

Who said that she was too lazy to get married

because she doesn't want to handle those chatty relatives?

What now?

Do you think the reporter is cute

and want to fall in love with him?

There is a good saying that goes

"The humble and polite gentleman is a good spouse for a woman".

Look at Youyi!

Look at the husband she married.

He's capable and loves her so much.

I am so envious of her!

That's true.

Insider information.

Zhou Heng is about to get promoted.

Is that what your uncle said?

No comment. No comment.

Youyi is so talented and so many people pursued her.

The man she married is also from a prestigious family.

No one can compare to her.

Youyi, come tell us.

How did you end up with Mr. Zhou?

Yeah, yeah! Tell us about it.

Hey, hey, just play cards. Youyi doesn't have time to gossip with you.

You, girls, need to be careful with relationships.

Be more serious about it.

Don't just keep thinking about this talented guy today and meeting that man tomorrow.

Mind your reputation.

Hey now, we're women of the new era.

What? Am I supposed to just meet one and then marry him?

- That's right. - Was I talking about you?

That's not what he's talking about.

That one, that person!

I know her. I heard about her.

You all know about it?

Chu Huizi...

has recently been going to the ballroom late at night.

By her side are always a lot of these bodyguards in black.

They follow her in and out.

I'm guessing she's become the mistress of a gangster.

- She is a mistress, didn't you know? - I didn't know.

How could I not know about it?

If I didn't know, I wouldn't be worried.

I just paid her a lot of money to sign a new book with her.

If she ends up in a scandal, then I'm going to lose a lot of money!

Let me recommend one to you.

It will surely be profitable. [Four Questions - by Xie Yifan]

If you were to publish a biography of him, it'll definitely be popular all over Shanghai.

At the Tokyo Joint Conference, he was amazing with his arguments!

- He can speak four languages! - That talented?

Director Zhou of Nanjing is extremely close to him.

Did you read Ta Kung Newspaper? Ta Kung Newspaper!

It's a moutpiece!

He is young and talented!

When he comes to Shanghai,

then you tell me about how he can be popular in Shanghai.

- He's going to be here soon! - Play cards. Play cards.

- My aunt told me... - Bureau Chief Wang.

Take a card.

Old Guan!

- Take a card first. - What brings you here?

Old Wang, let me introduce someone to you.

You don't have to thank me too much.

Who is it?

Yifan, come in.

- Bureau Chief. - Nice to meet you.

Mr. Xie! Hury up! Come on!

It's the reporter!

Hurry up, hurry up!

Hello. I'm Duan.

Hello.

Hello, I'm Pei.

- Hello. - Give me that.

- Hello, I'm Zhang. - Hello.

Youyi, come over and meet him.

I don't think you need an introduction to this one, right?

Hello. I am Xie Yifan.

[Seven years ago]

You can say

that... again?

[Press Pass]

Can you say that again?

Hello, I would like to pay.

Sure.

Do you have any change?

Sorry, I don't.

That's okay. Just a moment, please.

Thank you. Remember to come again.

Thank you.

[I couldn't agree with you more.]

"I couldn't agree with you more."

Wait!

You forgot your umbrella.

Oh... thanks.

Hey, wait!

Don't bite the pen when you read.

What I mean is...

you can eat something else while reading.

Such as?

How about sachima? (T/N: a sweet Chinese snack)

You haven't changed one bit.

You're even prettier.

It seems you're doing pretty well.

I read the newspaper when I was on the way here.

I heard about what happened to you.

You're in trouble.

If you want, I can have my friend...

No need.

Youyi.

How long has it been since we broke up?

I don't remember anymore.

Seven years and 21 days.

You were always smarter than others

and had a good memory.

I only remember the things that I think are worthy of remembering.

I haven't congratulated you yet for your success and fame

and achieving what you wished for.

It proved you made the right choice back then.

I'm still far from being successful.

Not to mention achieving my wishes, it's still not enough.

How about you?

You've also realized your dream.

Your work is prominent in Shanghai

and you've become a rich woman everyone admires and envies.

But are you happy?

How about you?

You've also achieved your dream.

Your work is prominent in Shanghai

and you've become a rich woman everyone admires and envies.

But, are you happy?

[Shanghai Xinxin Dance Hall]

Cheers!

I'm tired. Let's take a break. I'm sweating so much.

If you're tired, you should drink some more.

Our Youyi is the best.

Once you're on stage, no one has eyes for anyone else, just Youyi. Isn't that right?

Don't just praise me.

A'Wen is the one who has been dancing since she was a kid.

You... I'm not going to argue with you.

I'm going to touch up my makeup.

Wait. I'll come with you!

Don't you think she's funny?

What's wrong?

I despise the way she always makes herself look like a rich woman.

Speaking of background, how can she compare to us?

But she was lucky.

She was able to marry into the Zhou family.

Who doesn't know that her husband had an affair with Zhang Wan?

Otherwise, why did she fire Zhang Wan?

And acting like nothing's wrong.

Coming out to the ballroom all happily.

Hey... do you think she agreed with her husband to find another wife?

No way.

No. No.

Even if Zhang Wan is dead,

there will still be Li Wan, Liu Wan.

Tonight. (T/N: "night" sounds similar to Zhang Wan's name)

One every night.

He can be the groom every night.

She even held a memorial service for Zhang Wan

and offered a reward too.

In my opinion,

she hired someone to kill Zhang Wan.

Posturing.

She really knows how to act.

Why doesn't she go to shoot a movie?

You can't talk nonsense about this.

I'm just saying.

In our social circle, no one really thinks of her as a friend.

You're the only one who's good to her

and really treats her as a friend.

What else can I do?

I can't just ignore her, right?

We've known each other for a long time after all.

I tell you what.

I just saw a man in the dance hall

who seemed pretty good.

Show me. Hurry, let's go.

He kept looking at me just now.

Did he? Do you think he likes me?

You don't need to care about Zhang Wan.

She's not a real friend.

But she died.

I don't even have a friend like that anymore.

I don't have any friends now.

But she was lucky.

She was able to marry into the Zhou family.

The smoke smell is so strong.

I was waiting for so long

that I got impatient, so I smoked a few extra.

Who doesn't know that her husband had an affair with Zhang Wan?

I've already looked into it. Zhou Heng didn't do anything.

...there will still be Li Wan, Liu Wan.

One every night.

Youyi, why can't you understand me?

We can separate, but you will regret it later.

Promise you won't make it difficult for him.

When it comes to cigars like this,

you should smoke a few extra.

Don't think too much.

I got impatient, so I smoked a few extra.

...she hired someone to kill Zhang Wan. Posturing.

You said he was fine,

that's why I trusted you.

Listen to me, and I'll never let you be wronged.

Who's there?

Who is in there?

Come, my dears.

We'll be on the island soon!

You will learn all kinds of fighting skills there.

As long as you can survive,

you can earn a huge bounty

and return to your country.

Hit her! Beat her up!

Hit her!

Hit her! Beat her up! Beat her up!

Hit her! Hit her! Hit her!

Hit her! Hit her!

Nice.

Hit her! Hurry! Beat her up!

Hit her! Hit her! Hit her!

Hit her! Hit her! Hit her!

Get up! Hurry!

Hit her! Hit her!

Do you know what's your problem?

I'm not strong enough.

No!

Shaking hands...

only with friends.

No friends here.

Come on!

Let's go.

Miss.

I'm here to drop off your milk.

Thanks.

Goodbye.

Famous writer Xu Youyi

is involved in another murder case!

Chu Huizi died unexpectedly!

I'll have one.

Xu Youyi is involved in another murder case!

Chu Huizi died unexpectedly!

Newspaper for sale! Newspaper for sale!

[Darkroom] [Do Not Enter]

Ask Miss Xu to come out for an interview!

The public has the right to know the truth.

This is a murder case!

Go home. Madam Zhou won't be giving an interview.

- Why not? - Why not?

Youyi.

Don't worry.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be by your side.

I believe you didn't kill her.

And no one can

frame you so casually for murder.

Youyi,

we'll be all right.

Let's deal with the problems together, okay?

Zhou Heng...

let's get a divorce.

What did you say?

I said... let's get a divorce.

What?

Are you afraid of this?

Or...

do you still hate Zhang Wan?

She's already gone!

Yes.

She's gone.

But it doesn't mean the whole thing has just gone away.

You even went to her memorial service

and spent 10,000 yuan as a reward to catch the murderer.

You can even forgive her. Why can't you just forgive me one time?!

I'm sorry.

I was being too loud.

Youyi.

Let's both calm down

and think about this carefully.

- Have her come out here! - Yeah! Come out!

- Come out here! - Yeah!

- Youyi! Come out for an interview! - What's she doing in there?

Make her come out!

She usually acts all the time, putting on a face!

When actually she's a murderer!

- Why doesn't she come out for an interview? - That's right!

Come out here!

- Come out! - Tell her to come out here!

At that time, I heard a loud noise.

Then I saw the candlestick roll out from the room.

I asked if anyone was there.

But no one answered me.

Who's there?

Who's in there?

I saw a dark shadow flash by.

Then I picked up the candlestick.

I heard the waitress screaming from behind.

Then I opened the door and saw Chu Huizi's body.

I was planning on going in to clean the room.

But I didn't expect that a lady would be lying on the ground

with blood all over her head.

And Miss Xu was holding the candlestick...

Wait a minute.

You just called the dead person "a lady"

and you clearly saw that Miss Xu was holding the murder weapon.

I won't randomly say something.

Miss Xu is a frequent customer. I recognized her.

That means Miss Xu was holding the candlestick

and turned to you in a panic, didn't she?

Yes.

She seemed really scared.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

We left each other after we were dancing.

When we got back to where we were,

Youyi was already gone.

We don't know where went.

Could it be that Youyi really killed Chu Huizi?

Although they aren't really friends with each other,

but I don't think she would go to the point of killing her.

You mean... they had conflicts?

Not really conflicts.

But they were in a competitive relationship.

I trust her. She would never kill anyone.

She is our friend.

I saw a dark shadow flash by.

These two are the same.

It's the same.

Does it mean that the murderer from last time

and this time is the same person?

This man must be a homicidal maniac.

Why does he want to kill people?

How many people does he want to kill?

Where are you going? Hey!

Where are you going?

You stay here.

[Zhou Mansion]

Coming. Coming!

You two are back here about a case again?

Please tell Miss Xu Youyi that I'd like to see her.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Madam Zhou isn't feeling well.

Mr. Zhou and Madam said that she can't go out.

Youyi, wait.

Youyi, let me explain!

Miss Xu.

Are you still not opening the door?

Please.

Miss Xu.

Nice to see you again.

Detective Jiang.

We've already said everything we need to say at the police station.

I wonder why you're here again.

Today, I'd like to invite Miss Xu Youyi to the police station for questioning.

I'm sorry.

I think we're already done cooperating with the investigation.

It seems that there is no need to go again.

I'm afraid that won't do.

I have new evidence.

You have to come with me today.

You're interfering with a police investigation!

And you're trespassing!

Do you know where you are?!

Don't go too far!

If an emperor commits a crime, it's the same as if a common person does.

Besides, your last name is Zhou, not Jiang!

Chen Yong!

Father.

Young man, you still have a bright future.

Mind your words,

or it won't do you any good.

Who is he?

Minister Zhou, I've admired you for a long time.

I'm a detective of the police department, Jiang Bin.

I'm currently in charge of the homicide at Jinhua Hotel.

Homicide case.

Don't you think it's too fast to determine the nature of the case?

That's why I'd like to invite Miss Xu Youyi

to the police station for questioning.

As you're aware,

Chu Huizi was killed in public.

It has a bad impact on society.

I'm sure you understand that I need to figure out the truth to share with the public.

Of course I understand.

Youyi, would you like to go?

Father, Youyi isn't feeling well.

It is not a good time.

Then that's not possible.

If you have an arrest warrant, you can take her away.

Otherwise, find another way to solve the case.

Minister Zhou, our police department

has the right to take the suspect back before approval for questioning.

You don't have that now.

Later, the secretariat will send a notice to the police station.

Take care.

We won't show you out.

Please.

Youyi, let's go back.

Come on.

Boss, what do we do now?

Don't be so impulsive in the future!

Honey,

how did it go?

How did it go?

It's fine. They've all left.

Father, thank you.

If you hadn't come today,

I really wouldn't have known what to do.

Get me my cane.

Honey,

didn't your leg stop hurting two days ago?

- Why do you need a cane? - Bring it here!

Yes, Minister.

Honey. Honey! Honey!

- Move aside. - What are you doing, honey?

The kid is old enough already. You can just talk to him.

Why do you have to hit him?

Let go.

- Honey! - Back off!

It's all because of you!

You've never disciplined him!

That is why he did such a disgraceful thing!

Honey! Honey! Honey!

I know!

I know you've always been reasonable.

Fine then. Let's talk about it today.

If we're talking about this, then she is the one to blame!

Youyi!

She's responsible for everything that's happened today!

Mother, please stop.

You are still helping her?

Shut up!

You're still protecting him even now.

If he had behaved decently, how could all of this have happened?!

Father, it's all my fault!

Kneel down!

Apologize!

I'm sorry, Father. I've embarrassed the Zhou family.

Apologize to Youyi!

Youyi.

I'm truly sorry.

Will you forgive me,

please?

Youyi.

Come with me upstairs.

Keep kneeling!

- Mother. - Get up.

Get up!

Just let me kneel.

Good for nothing.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Father.

Don't worry about those policemen.

The follow-up questions, Secretary Han will handle.

Then...

Father, what are you going to do?

Are you going to find someone else to help solve the case?

I really have nothing to do with this.

Of course I trust you, Youyi.

Zhou Heng did such a disgraceful thing.

I already know about everything.

You didn't misbehave.

Don't listen to your mother.

It is Zhou Heng's fault.

There is no reason and no mercy for him.

So...

if there is anything that you want to make it up to yourself,

I'll always support you.

Thank you, Father.

I...

I did talk to Zhou Heng.

Good.

Very good.

Youyi.

What do you want?

What do you want to do?

Tell me everything.

Things that Zhou Heng can't solve,

I will solve for you.

Father.

I heard your mother say

that you really want your books

to be sold overseas.

Except for Japan,

what other countries are you interested in?

The United States?

France?

Think more about these things.

As for other childish thoughts...

Just forget about them.

Do you understand?

When it comes to scandals, the more you explain, the more attention it gets.

The best way is minimization.

We've already told the police everything.

So there is no need to respond to the public.

Madam Zhou, we have to reach an agreement on this.

I heard that you don't have a manager right now.

Then I'll be in charge of your things from now on.

Please trust me.

News. News.

The most important thing about news is the word "new".

The public actually has a very short memory.

As long as there is constant news,

they'll forget about you very quickly.

So from now on,

you may need to be busy.

Please be ready.

That's all right. You can take your time to get used to it.

First, we have to do something superficial to eliminate the impact.

There was a flood in Huaibei.

We will arrange donations for you and do charity sales.

The four kids you've been helping all year have successfully completed their studies.

The school will arrange a speech for them.

I've never donated to any children.

There will be an interview tomorrow at Huamao Hotel.

Both you and Mr. Zhou need to attend.

The content of the interview are the daily life of a famous writer

and your happy marriage.

Jing, don't you see Madam Zhou's clothes are wet?

Hurry, go help her.

Coming, coming.

No need.

I'll go upstairs and get changed myself.

This is Zhou Mansion.

May I speak to Chief Song, please?

Hello, Chief Song.

This is Han Jinwei.

Thank you for your concern.

Everything is fine.

Sorry to disturb all the officers.

About the case at Jinhua Hotel,

I suggest concluding the case as soon as possible.

Secretary Han, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Are these people really necessary?

Youyi, this is a particular time.

Bear with it a bit.

- Here she is. - Miss Xu!

Move back.

- Miss Xu. Miss Xu! - Miss Xu!

Move back, move back!

Miss Xu!

Miss Xu, can you take our interview?

We're from the newspaper office!

Miss Xu!

- Can you accept our interview? - Answer a few questions for us, Miss Xu!

Miss Xu, please agree!

Miss Xu! Miss Xu! Miss Xu!

- Chief Song. - Chief Song.

What are you all doing?

You don't want your jobs anymore, is that it?!

Conclude the Jinhua Hotel case right now!

No matter if that little writer accidentally hit the fireplace,

or was crushed by something heavy falling from the ceiling.

It's up to you.

Either way, it was an accident.

Chief!

There was definitely a third person at the scene of the crime.

I'm sure of it.

Did you not understand what I just said?

If you can't write the closing statement,

I'll get someone else to take over the case.

Chief.

Chief!

So what if he's an official?

Always using their status to bully others.

All right. Sit down. Sit.

That's the conclusion from the police department?

Yes, Master Jiu.

They said Miss Chu

was killed by something that fell from the ceiling.

The ceiling.

Good.

Very good.

He really is using his authority well.

Chao,

get Xu Youyi over here.

My woman can't just die for no reason.

- Yes, Sir. - Wait.

It needs to be done quietly.

Don't let Minister Zhou find us.

Understood.

Give it to me.

Youyi,

you didn't eat much tonight.

Would you like something?

I'm not hungry.

Are you not feeling well somewhere?

How about I scrape you with a piece of jade?

Or wipe your face with a hot towel?

I don't need anything.

I'm just a bit tired. I want to rest.

- Then what about... - You should leave.

All right then.
