[Couple of Mirrors] [Episode 7]

How did you know I was here?

Feng Hong saw you

when she came here to see her friend.

Have a seat.

I've just

met with the doctor.

The doctor said the child is all right.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault!

I'm sorry!

It has nothing to do with you.

It was just an accident.

No.

I'm the one to blame, Youyi.

I didn't know you were pregnant.

Youyi.

Come home with me, okay?

Let's go home.

I'll take care of you and our child. Okay?

We're about to get divorced.

But we have a child now.

That doesn't change anything.

You know that.

The problem between us

was never about a child.

I don't want to deny the love we had before.

But about this matter,

about Zhang Wan,

I can't forgive you.

You know that.

[Ho-Kuang Photo Studio]

Buns!

[Ho-Kuang Photo Studio]

You were unhappy when I wanted to live here before.

I had to beg you to let me live here.

Your place isn't safe.

Not safe?

Have you found that Manager Bai yet?

Someone wanted to harm you.

Who? It's not like this is a movie.

Then where is Manager Bai?

Maybe... Maybe the car was broken.

He sensed the danger,

so he could only jump from the car to protect himself.

And now he's too ashamed to meet with me.

So he is hiding.

You know it wasn't like that.

I'm a pregnant woman. Can you let me feel happy?

If you want to feel happy, you have to be alive first.

You'll stay upstairs.

I didn't get to ask you yet.

Why were you there that day and managed to save me?

I just happened to pass by.

Just passed by?

That place was outside of the city and very remote.

What were you doing there?

It's none of your business.

You weren't following me, were you?

Forget it, forget it. I saved you once before, anyway.

We're good friends. So I'm not going to thank you for saving me.

Are the suitcases heavy?

You want to carry them yourself?

No, forget it. You better carry it.

What are we going to have for dinner?

Buns!

Hot buns!

Excuse me.

Miss, how much farther to go?

It's just up ahead!

You bought so many things.

There must be a lot of people in your family.

Come down for dinner.

Don't you know my name?

Why didn't you call my name?

So many! You made them all?

Didn't you say you don't know how to cook?

I just learned it.

Just learned it? When?

Yesterday.

Yesterday?

Are you kidding?

I'm not.

I'm a quick learner.

Tastes pretty good!

Thanks, Wei Wei.

Don't call me that.

Then what should I call you?

Xiao Yan Yan? (TN: "Xiao" means "little")

Xiao Wei Wei?

Yan Wei Wei?

Wei Wei.

Are we far away from the department store?

Could you go there with me after dinner?

What for?

Do some shopping.

I didn't bring anything with me.

I need to buy some daily necessities.

And some...

toiletries and some skin-care products.

You brought two suitcases.

That was only clothes and photos inside.

I can understand why you brought clothes.

But why did you bring photos?

Photos are memories.

Can one throw away memories?

Those who don't have memories aren't complete people.

Go with me later.

No.

Why not?

I have all that.

Daily necessities, toiletries,

and skin-care products. I have them all.

You can use mine.

Okay.

Let's go.

What for?

Out to eat.

Where are the toiletries?

Here and here.

Wei Wei.

Your strange shower system,

I can accept.

I can reluctantly accept that the water goes between hot and cold.

But where is the jasmine essential oil and shampoo?

Why do you put a bar of soap here for washing clothes?

It's not for washing clothes.

I use it to take a bath and wash my hair.

Then what do you use for washing clothes?

This.

Go take a bath.

It's a new towel.

What now?

No floral water. No hair balm.

No brightening toner. No rose essential oils.

No powder to treat spots.

Not even vanishing cream.

What cream?

Vanishing cream.

It's used for the face.

Is it medicine?

What's wrong with your face?

Forget it.

Are we living in the same era?

Are you really twenty?

You've seen my ID card.

It's fake.

But the information is true.

What a poor girl.

How did she grow up?

Youyi is really too willful.

It's all because you spoiled her.

She left just because she wanted to.

What gives her the right to ask you to take things to her?

No, she didn't ask me to do it.

It's me who wants to do it.

She needs to be taught a lesson.

She comes from a lowly and ordinary family. Just doesn't know the rules.

She thinks that just because she's wrote a few books, she's got new ideas.

She doesn't know who she is anymore.

In my opinion, back to a few years ago,

if you had married Zhang Wan, she wouldn't have dared to disagree!

A'Heng.

What exactly are you thinking?

She said all that in public already.

Neither did she consider the love you had with her, nor did she save face for you.

You're actually allowing her to do whatever she wants.

Where's that courage you used to have?

Zhou Heng! I'm talking to you!

Mother.

I'm already thirty years old. I'm not a kid.

I have my own life.

I know what I should do.

Don't lose your temper at me.

She's the one who wants the divorce!

We aren't divorced yet!

Mother.

I will never divorce Xu Youyi.

She'll be my wife for my entire life.

If you're willing to help me, I'll be grateful to you.

If you're not willing, I'll trouble you to be polite to her.

You...

She's not here.

Then please be polite about her in front of me.

Because as her husband, I'll feel unhappy.

Thank you, Mother.

Miss, what do you need?

We can introduce products to you.

Yes. We have everything, such as moisturizers, makeup tools,

jewelry, hats, and so on.

Vanishing cream.

Vanishing cream? I'll get it for you.

We have three brands. But I recommend you buy...

floral water, brightening toner, rose essential oil, powder to treat spots,

shampoo, hair balm, and scented soap. I want them all.

What brands would you like?

Miss, please take a look.

These are the best-selling moisturizing creams that we have.

They're also often called vanishing cream.

- Would you like to try it? - No need.

Put a little on. Otherwise, you won't see the effects.

- That's right. - Take a look.

This moisturizing cream was just released by the Xinmeili Company.

It's this season's flagship product.

It has wonderful effects on skin whitening and moisturization.

It has a rose scent to it too.

This one is the flagship product of the Liren Company, a time-honored brand.

We sell dozens of bottles a day.

Miss, you must want lipstick too, right?

- Lipsticks? - Of course.

If you do makeup without wearing lipstick, it'll be like going out naked.

All women wear it?

Of course.

Look! We have so many colors.

You can try all of them.

No. No, thanks. No need.

Try them.

Different lip colors match different makeup.

Different clothes are worn on different occasions.

You can't be careless about this.

Miss, you're so pretty and have such fair skin.

Any color matches you well.

Look, these are the most fashionable colors this year.

Then wrap them all up, these two as well.

All right.

Please wait a minute.

Miss, I'm telling you.

You can't choose a rose essential oil randomly.

Luckily, you've come to our store.

If you bought a fake one at another store, that could be bad news.

It could disfigure your face.

All right, everything is here, Miss.

There are so many things. [Hsinghua Co. LTD]

Would you like us to have people deliver them to your home?

No need.

Then take care. The next time you need something, please come visit again.

Can I help you with anything else?

Do you know what pregnant women need?

Have a good day.

Zhou Heng.

What are you doing?

All these things are taking up too much space.

I'm afraid you can't get used to new things.

I didn't think it through.

I shouldn't have bought everything over all at once.

That is the silk quilt you always use.

I aired the pillow too.

These are your favorite cakes and Western snacks.

I passed by Guanshengyuan and couldn't help buy some for you.

There isn't much coffee at home.

But I've made an agreement with the Department of Commerce and Trade.

As soon as the next overseas freighter arrives, I'll bring it over right away.

I don't need you to do these things.

I know.

But we haven't gotten divorced yet.

Even if we do, we can still be friends.

Isn't it normal for friends to take care of each other?

Miss.

How about being friends with me?

Step aside.

No.

You know what? I pleaded with Zhou Heng for a long time before he agreed to bring me over here.

You're the owner of a photo studio, right?

You're the photographer, aren't you? How about this? Take a set of photos of me.

The style is totally up to you.

I wouldn't hesitate to dedicate myself to the arts.

These... are the small items you usually love using.

Although they're not expensive,

it must be inconvenient for you to run out and buy them, right?

Alright. I got it. Thank you.

Would you like me to organize them for you?

There's so many things, it's probably hard to get all that in organized.

All right then.

If you don't need my help,

I'll be going then.

What... What are... What are you going to do?

- You... - What do you want to do?

I...

Hello.

Youyi has inconvenienced you.

Thank you very much for doing this.

Wh-Why don't I carry them for you?

- What's wrong? - Let's go.

I just want to see her.

What did you go do? You're carrying so many things.

It's not much. They're just some sundries.

I'll go cook now.

(humming)

Why do I feel you're a little nervous?

You usually drive faster, don't you?

There are a lot of people on the street.

Back there... Do you know that girl from the photo studio well?

No.

You at least know her name, don't you?

I asked around about her. Her name is Yan Wei.

Yan Wei.

Wei Wei.

Good name.

Let me warn you.

You'd better stay away from her.

She's not the kind of girl who will just cry

and argue with you after you're done with her.

You just said you didn't know her all that well.

What? Is she a rich man's mistress?

It's not like that.

Youyi.

Anyway, she isn't a simple person.

Not a simple person?

What's wrong with her?

I can't tell you.

I'm worried Youyi will be unhappy.

You're really henpecked.

Say whatever you want.

Fine, fine.

So why did you allow sister-in-law to live with her?

What if something happens?

It's just temporary.

She'll come back really soon.

Food is ready?

Thanks for working so hard.

Let's take turns cooking starting tomorrow.

I can't always let the landlord cook by herself.

That's all right.

The snacks you bought are delicious. I haven't had them before.

You probably bought more foreign products before.

Banzhaihui is also a time-honored brand.

The one whose salted pork in jelly is known as the most delicious in Shanghai?

I've had their food before, but not this one.

But I still need coffee. You didn't buy coffee.

Pregnant women can't drink coffee.

Nonsense! Who said that?

I said it.

Wei Wei.

No way.

Fine then.

Zhou Heng should have bought it for you.

Why don't you open it and drink it?

Don't think of me as that spineless, okay?

He had an affair with my best friend.

I'm about to divorce him.

Just because he bought me some vanishing cream and

bags of coffee, it doesn't mean I'll forgive him.

You're underestimate me too much.

In the animal world,

in order to get the females,

males will try hard to scramble for food and territory

and continually fight with the rivals,

in order to gain more favor from the females.

But unfortunately,

there's a time limit for that.

Once they get them,

and new females arrive in the area,

a new round of fighting will start all over again.

Human beings are no different from animals.

That's just what life is.

Don't be too disappointed.

Wei Wei, I think you're quite pessimistic

spite of being so young.

Actually, my life isn't that bad.

Although I come from a poor family,

my mother has always loved me very much.

She... used to do some of the hardest jobs.

And pay for me to go to school,

buy me decent clothes,

and provided clean food for me.

She changed my life

through all her efforts.

She said...

the reason she did so many things

was because she hoped I wouldn't lose my self-esteem

in exchange for anything after I grew up.

You had a very good mother.

That's true.

Unfortunately...

before I could fulfill my filial duties to her,

she fell sick and died.

Tagore once said,

destiny is a promise from faraway.

It always arrives quietly without notice.

Why are you laughing?

No, I'm not.

You laughed just now.

You're still laughing!

Wei Wei.

You should read more books in the future.

What do you mean?

Tagore didn't say that.

But don't worry.

I had a good mother.

So I'll surely become a good mother too.

Eat.

Hello?

Yeah, that's me.

Who's speaking?

Hello, I'd like to see Bureau Chief Wang.

Okay. Please wait a minute.

- Stop selling Youyi's book? - Hello?

Which one?

All of them.

All of them?

That's right.

Especially, the one topping best seller lists at the bookstores,

Rumors and Gossip.

It must be removed right away.

I want to know why!

Is there something wrong with Youyi's book?!

Bureau Chief Wang, the decision was made by a superior of the Publication Administration.

There must be something wrong with her.

What could be wrong with her?!

Actually, you should know the reason

and who did anything wrong.

It's better for one to care about others' judgments

about their behavior.

Right?

"Say"? I have nothing to say!

You said it all!

Hello? Hello?!

Okay. I see.

Please follow me.

Rouge! Shameless!

- What is it? - Bureau Chief,

I just received a call from Japan.

Mr. Oda said he might not be able to

publish Miss Xu's book in Japan.

He has gone too far! Too far!

And...

And?

This gentleman wants to see you.

[The Commercial Press]

Cigarettes!

Buy some cigarettes!

What on earth are you doing? You woke me up!

You went to bed at eleven last night.

It's already one in the afternoon.

You've slept for thirteen hours straight already!

I don't care whether it's twelve hours or thirteen hours,

right now I still want to go upstairs and sleep.

Don't make any of those noises again!

No way. Otherwise, you can't fall asleep tonight.

Pregnant women need stable sleep.

It should be enough sleep.

While, I, Xu Youyi, this pregnant lady,

need at least more than twelve hours of sleep every day.

And I promise I can surely fall asleep at night. Okay?

Why do you nag so much?

Even Zhou Heng doesn't nag as much as you.

Youyi!

[Cafe Federal]

What would you two like to order?

Two cups of coffee, thank you.

Just one is okay. I'll just have water.

A glass of warm water and a cup of coffee.

All right.

Sorry.

I forgot my manners.

I haven't run like this for years now.

Like a young kid.

It's okay.

I went on business a while back.

I asked a friend from the newspaper to look after you for me.

But I didn't expect...

that he couldn't really help much.

I'm doing quite well.

Thank you for worrying about me.

I know what happened to you.

I've got something I want to tell you.

Please enjoy.

Youyi.

I think it's time,

for you to consider...

Consider what?

Being with me again.

Don't laugh just yet.

I'm saying all this after thinking it over.

Or I should say...

this is the reason I came to Shanghai.

All these years,

I've met many women.

Some are innocent and lovely.

Some also come from powerful families.

But none of them were it.

It's not that they're bad,

but I just couldn't feel for them.

Youyi.

You're the...

only woman I want to spend my life with.

Without you,

I'll have regrets if I marry someone else.

Just hear me out first.

We're both too proud.

That's how we ended up like this.

Both of us are unwilling to beg for something.

But, today, I wanted to try my best.

To ask at least once.

Fight for it once.

Youyi.

I bought this three years ago in Paris.

It caught my eye immediately.

Sorry, it's not expensive.

It was at a stall.

But the moment I saw it,

I felt...

I had to buy it for you.

It reminded me of the day when we first met.

The rain had just stopped.

You chased after me with my umbrella.

Your eyes were so dark,

wearing a white dress,

you looked like a swan.

- Yifan. - Youyi.

Please give me another chance.

I'm thank you for carrying about me for so many years.

But Yifan,

I'm pregnant already.

- Young Master, you're back. - Where's my father?

He's in the study.

Are you trying to teach me how to do things?

No, not at all.

Father.

I know your power and ability.

Ever since I was a boy, I've lived under your wing.

I have lived a good life and

I'm very grateful to you for everything you've done for this family.

Today, I'm here to ask you

to use your power and ability for other purposes.

Don't make things difficult for a weak girl.

Ask me?

And this is your attitude?

If Xu Youyi wasn't so ungrateful,

if you, useless garbage, hadn't cheated on her, leaving evidence,

would I need to do this?!

I'll solve the problems between Youyi and myself.

You didn't solve them!

You stood by when she exposed your shortcomings in public.

You made our family a joke in all of Shanghai.

- But... - Listen!

Xu Youyi can't stay in Shanghai anymore.

I won't allow my son to become a laughing-stock of others.

They can laugh at me as they wish!

Father, it's all my fault.

It has nothing to do with her.

Xu Youyi my wife.

No matter what she's done, this fact can't be changed.

I hope you can inform the Publication Administration,

that they shouldn't make things difficult for her again.

If you aren't willing to do this,

I'll use my own way to solve it.

Naive!

Foolish!

I must tell you. This apartment is quite sought-after.

The location is convenient.

It's only two streets away from the Xin'an Department Store.

Makes shopping very convenient. Look.

This is the kitchen.

It's really big. Enough for seven or eight people to have meals here easily.

There's a small balcony over there too.

You can put a table on the balcony, drink some tea there.

It's quite cozy.

Most importantly, this apartment

has a really nice geographical location.

The bedroom faces east.

The window is really large too.

Lots of sunlight comes in every day.

You'll find it quite comfortable living here.

Who is it?

Mr. Chen, there is a letter for you.

It's you?

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

I just wanted to remind you

of the fact that you have an ex-lover.

I want to become your new lover.

Are you insane?!

You want to threaten me, don't you? Try in the next life.

I'm telling you. Don't play tricks with me. Otherwise, I won't let you off.

Don't you dare leave!

If you take one more step,

I'll spill the beans about your sex scandal.

And let's see how much money you can make in the future.

Do you think people will believe you?

Who are you?

Do I even know you?

I just had a glass of wine with you, that's all!

Brother Chen.

I just want you to help me.

You're a big star...

and talented to.

If Master Zhen Shan hadn't died

and I couldn't make a living,

then I wouldn't bother you.

But now that I know your secret,

either you help me find a job

or give me some money.

Otherwise, I'll expose all of it.

Oh, right!

I heard Miss Chu Huizi was killed by someone.

The murderer hasn't been found yet.

Do you think the police will suspect you or not?

Another!

Mr. Xie, you've already drunk...

- What's wrong? - You go in first.

You know him?

Make it fast.

Please wait a minute.

I've never expected to see you here, Mr. Xie.

Go away.

Don't be so distant.

We do have some relationship after all.

I didn't understand the situation when we met last time.

It wasn't until I asked Youyi that I knew you knew each other.

It's a pity that I didn't chat with you a bit longer.

Your whiskey.

Thank you.

I have nothing to say to you.

Really?

But I think

we have a lot in common to talk about.

For example, things about Youyi.

- Shut up! - Mr. Xie.

You don't need to be so hostile.

You're a man of letters. How can you be so rude?

You're not good enough for Youyi.

You think you're worthy of her?

It's true, I did something wrong.

Bu compared to when you left her, all alone in that situation,

it's still better.

What did you just say?

You don't know?

No wonder you have the nerve to come back to see her.

Mr. Xie.

I suggest you go back to Peking.

When the rainy season starts in Shanghai, there'll be heavy mist and moisture.

It doesn't suit people like you, who shine because of fame and fortune.

Since you made your choice back then, there's no need to turn back.

One...

can't have it both ways.

Am I right?

I've met many people

like you, rich men who seemed affectionate on the surface,

but yet hide their true selves.

You can't hide it for too long.

You'll expose yourself after enough time.

Understand?

No.

Put it on my tab.

All right.

Why did you rush to leave?

Old Liu and the others were playing cards upstairs. You didn't even go look.

From my point of view, if you still love sister-in-law,

you need to find an opportunity to get her back again.

You think I don't want to?

Take action then!

Stuff like watches, jewelry, and handbags made of leather.

Buy whatever is popular.

Women must like them.

You don't know her.

It's useless.

Then what do you do?
