Sit here, Sir.

What would you like to drink, Sir?

Brandy, whiskey, or wine?

I...

What do you want?

Do you know who the owner of this is?

A girl.

Follow me.

Please.

Thanks.

Is there anything else?

I'm not sure if you remember, Miss.

We've met once.

In the piano room at Ya'en University.

Is that you?

That's me.

That's me.

Then, do you remember that you didn't keep your promise?

Return the book to me.

I'm sorry.

There was an emergency that day.

So was I delayed.

What a coincidence.

On that day,

I also had some urgent things.

Really?

Where's the homework you did for me?

Miss, you didn't really ask me to help with your homework.

That was an excuse to just lend me the book,

so I could go to class. Right?

After these days,

you seem better than you were when I first met you.

Indeed.

I made some progress now.

Actually, so have you, Miss.

You changed a lot.

I... I mean, Miss,

if you need any help,

you can tell me. I'll do my best.

Because only in this way can I show my gratitude.

Well, if you need anything, just come to me.

I'll leave now.

Then, marry me.

Okay.

When?

[Lung Ying Bank]

Manager, you want to see me?

I need you to do me a favor.

Book a wedding banquet in Huizhong Restaurant.

Four tables with the best dishes.

A wedding banquet? For whom?

For me.

Stop your nonsense. Everyone knows you're single.

Whose wedding banquet indeed?

My wedding banquet.

You're really getting married?

But with whom?

Brother Yizhi.

What happened, Brother Yizhi?

What's this? This is...

I'm inviting everyone to my wedding banquet.

Brother Yizhi, you're getting married.

Right, I'm getting married.

We'll have a hostess. Let's see where we'll eat.

Oh my god.

Wedding banquet in Huizhong Restaurant.

All you care about is eating.

Then, what else shall we care about?

All right. Listen, keep the invitations,

and be my guests on time.

Besides, when you come, don't bring any money or presents.

I'll refuse those.

Your attendance is the best gift, okay?

Understood!

- All right, I'll be waiting for you guys. - Then we'll go!

Congratulations, Brother Yizhi.

Thanks.

Xiao Lingdang, you should come then.

Brother Yizhi, are you really getting married?

Yes.

With who?

With... With someone I love, of course.

But when did you have a crush on someone?

Why didn't I know that?

Now that you mention it. I've just realized it recently.

What do you mean by that?

This is a life choice. You can't just mess around.

I know. Don't worry, Xiao Lingdang.

I have excellent taste.

Actually, the hostess I found for you

is the one I liked at first sight.

She's been hidden in my heart.

Then... Then you should bring her here

and let us meet her.

We don't know each other.

Besides, Brother Yizhi, you're the manager now.

You can't get a wife casually.

What if she doesn't like you, but your—

Xiao Lingdang, I understand your worries.

The wife I choose must be the right one.

All right, come to my wedding then.

Or I'll be upset.

What's up?

Master, I'd like to invite you and your wife

to attend my wedding banquet.

When did you make this decision to get married?

Honestly, Master,

I fell in love with the girl at first sight.

So I decided to get married right away.

May I ask who this girl is?

She is a waitress in a public lounge.

But she's not a prostitute at all.

If Master would like to see her, I'll bring her here tomorrow to visit you.

No.

Your marriage is of your own making.

I hope Master won't think that I'm sloppy and frivolous.

How come?

Do you know who he is?

I heard Madam mention that he's her father, Commander Liao.

Sure, my father-in-law.

On my wedding day, after we drank, he took me aside and told me

that when Sister Lan was a young girl, she fell off her horse at camp and was badly injured.

In fact,

she cannot have a baby.

I'm telling you about the past

because I had a feeling by seeing your spirit today.

To be honest, I envy you so much.

I won't think that you're sloppy.

Master, Madam may have her flaws.

But she's true to you.

I have never doubted her affection for me.

But sometimes I get lonely without a child.

Yizhi,

your savings are not enough to afford a house.

I'll give you a wedding house.

Best wishes to you and your wife to be together forever.

Thanks, Master.

Now that the wedding is near, just get ready for the banquet.

Yes.

[Ascending Lounge]

I've booked the wedding banquet in Huizhong Restaurant.

The wedding house is ready, too.

How... How can it be so fast?

You asked me to be fast.

You...

Don't you want to ask me anything?

What shall I ask?

For example, the last time we met,

I was studying at Ya'en University.

But this time, I'm a waitress at a dance hall.

You'll tell me when you want.

You don't even know me. Why do you want to marry me?

Then you don't even know me. Why do you want me to marry you?

That's because I... I borrowed...

I have gambling debts. The loan sharks are after me everywhere.

Gambling debts.

I was depressed the other day.

So I was unconscious.

- How much? - The principal is 800.

The interest... They said if I'm overdue,

I would have to sell myself.

- Who's the loan shark? - Qiu Dafang.

I'm not here for you. I'm here for Wu's daughter.

My daughter is doing something stupid.

Are you okay? Regret it?

You don't want to marry me?

No regrets at all.

I promise I'll never gamble or lend money.

Don't worry. I'll take care of the loan sharks.

Master, I made an appointment with Commander Fang's second wife.

She'll meet Cheng Yizhi next week.

Too late.

What? A wedding invitation.

The wedding invitation of Cheng Yizhi.

When is he going to get married?

- Who is this bride? When did they meet? - I don't know.

Then, why do they marry?

Have you agreed?

I have no reason to disagree to his marriage.

Aren't you trying to cultivate Chen Yizhi? Why didn't you find it out?

Give before you take.

Be patient.

Bye.

I'll be back to see you guys.

Girl, you're lucky to leave here.

Without you, I wouldn't have gotten through the first day.

Thanks, Countess.

How did you know that guy would find you the next day?

I didn't know.

I just wished him to come for me.

The principal is 800. The interest is ten percent daily.

That should be enough.

What a pity. I still want to taste her.

I'm warning you. Don't say nonsense again. Watch your mouth.

Well, she's got some big shot with such tough talk.

Go back and tell your boss. This woman is not easy to handle.

- Manager, I paid off the gambling debts. - Good.

Big Brother,

between us, you're always in charge.

But this time,

I... I'll say it out.

Even I know, you can't trust a woman in a lounge.

Miss Lizi, she...

Can we check her out first?

[Grand Stage]

[Concede Xuzhou, Starred by Guan Xiuyue]

Lizi.

You do have good taste. This Guan Xiuyue looks handsome.

No, what did you do to pay your debts?

My fiance paid them for me.

Fiance?

Three days later, he'll be my husband.

Who is he? What does he do?

Manager of Jing'an Branch, Lung Ying Bank.

Does he have any relations with the banking circle?

You guess?

I knew it.

You won't marry yourself just for gambling debts.

I thought... Never mind.

No.

It makes sense that you marry him in a hurry.

But why would he marry you in a hurry?

Because he's not a normal guy.

[Ya'en University]

Today, I meet you here not to study.

We'll just talk.

Put the book down.

I just want to ask you. While you're studying,

have you considered the future of the country,

the fate of the country?

The reason I ask you this question—

Mr. Lu, someone wants to see you.

- Uncle Lu. - Lizi.

What took you so long? Come on. Come in.

No, Uncle Lu. I won't bother your class.

Well, just tell me. Where do you and your mother live?

How do you make a living?

Don't worry about me. I'm all right.

Great. Then you need to get back to school.

Did you go to the dean's office?

- I... I won't have classes anymore. - Why?

Lizi, listen. As long as you come back, you don't have to consider the tuition fee.

- Come on in. - I'm getting married soon. Uncle Lu.

If it's convenient for you,

I'd like to invite you and aunt as my only guest of honor to my wedding.

You're still young, Lizi.

You should be studying.

Then, tell me who are you going to marry?

You'll know then.

Why do I think the bride looks familiar?

I must have met her somewhere.

Today is the wedding day

of Miss Wu Lizi and me, Cheng Yizhi.

Thank you all for coming, distinguished guests.

My and Miss Lizi's engagement was in a hurry.

There might be some flaws during the wedding.

May I beg your pardon.

Distinguished guests, you're all friends and relatives of Yizhi.

It's his luck to share our happiness with you.

However, my family couldn't be here.

Thanks to my esteemed teacher,

who is attending my wedding banquet today as my marriage witness.

Welcome Professor of Economics at Ya'en University,

Counselor of Shanghai Association of Bank and Coinage,

Mr. Lu Caifu and his wife.

Professor Lu.

Madam.

- Please. - All right.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm honored today

to witness Miss Wu Lizi

and Manager Cheng Yizhi's wedding.

The bridegroom, Cheng Yizhi.

You know his brilliance better than I do.

The bride, Wu Lizi.

Lizi has been intelligent since she was a child.

At Ya'en University,

she had outstanding academic performance.

Her father, former Manager of Shanghai Savings Bank,

Mr. Wu Zhifu.

Wu...

She's Wu Zhifu's daughter.

Right, he's my best friend.

He passed away suddenly.

Friends in the banking circle are sorrowful.

I think what he's worried about most

is his daughter, Lizi.

Today, Lizi can marry a successful young man.

I believe his spirit at the gate in Heaven

will be comforted by the saints.

Cheng Yizhi. Wu Lizi. Best wishes to you both.

Help each other and grow old together.

Thank you.

Dear guests, I hope my identity

doesn't offend you.

At that time,

I was studying at Ya'en University.

All I could think about was schoolwork.

And then my dad was gone.

Overnight, I couldn't go to university.

I couldn't get employed.

My mother was sick, too.

It was like falling into hell.

Some of my classmates even

considered me as a joke.

Later, my mom was gone after my father

because of an acute heart attack.

I... I actually thought that I... I could just die.

Because there's no meaning of life living alone in the world without any help.

Maybe it's better to be dead.

Moreover, I didn't even have the qualification as a human.

Then luckily,

Yizhi showed up.

He is willing to take care of me and protect me.

He didn't even care about my poor condition

and decided to be my husband.

Yizhi,

if you don't marry me,

you must have another choice.

However,

you're all I have.

From now on,

I'm no longer Wu Zhifu's daughter.

I'm just Cheng Yizhi's wife.

Yizhi, in the future,

I will be a good wife.

I'll repay you with my whole life.

Professor and Madam Lu,

it means a lot to me that you came to witness my wedding.

Lizi and I would like to propose a toast to you.

Thank you, Uncle and Aunt Lu.

Happy wedding.

Lizi, this is your big day.

I understand how you feel.

But anyway, he is always your father.

If even you feel that way,

when can your father's wrongs be washed away?

Do you believe that he'd have done something like that?

Uncle Lu,

I'm married.

Can't I live...

my own life?

Of course, you can.

You'll live a happy life.

Come on, Lizi! Let me introduce you.

This is my master. Boss Huang of Lung Ying Bank.

This is his wife.

Master. Madam. You always took good care of me

and treat me like family.

Master. Madam.

Thank you for your kindness to Yizhi.

In the future, if he's inconsiderate somewhere,

please let me help.

I think we've met before.

At the party of Association of Bank and Coinage.

You were playing the piano on stage.

We've met before?

Your father, Zhifu, and I have met

at the Association of Bank and Coinage.

He was an elite in the banking circle.

And he had great eloquence and manners.

Is Zhifu here?

Your father, Zhifu, and I...

Your father, Zhifu, and I...

It turns out that she's Wu Zhifu's daughter.

That Wu daughter who's afraid of spiderwebs, poor at sewing,

and can barely manage cooking.

Cheng Yizhi wondered at fate.

He made a decision quietly in his mind.

He'll protect this weak and helpless woman.

Like Lizi herself said, all she had was Cheng Yizhi.

And Cheng Yizhi finally had a family.

He couldn't let her be hurt again by a cruel past.

What kind of bride is she to get drunk at the wedding!

No average man can compete in drinking with you.

You're so tough.

Master,

I'm not talking about drinking.

When a family is broke, to survive, a miss can give up her dignity and be a waitress.

It's not easy.

I don't see that.

Well, she got a professor as her wedding witness.

A girl without parents

needs basic dignity in front of her husband.

That's just human nature.

Her speech in public was earnest.

She's grateful.

At a young age, Cheng Yizhi became a manager.

And you let him represent Lung Ying everywhere.

A lot of girls in Shanghai want to capture him.

Lizi married him in several days.

Who knows what she's thinking about?

Can you stop worrying about their wedding night?

I'm just trying to help Cheng Yizhi.

Well, if she has any bad intentions,

I'll definitely split them up.

Is this the real Lizi?

The judgment of Cheng Yizhi was ridiculously wrong.

Lizi is not a weak and helpless woman.

On the contrary,

she could survive a disaster.

She must be stronger than ordinary people.

Cheng Yizhi felt Lizi was similar with himself.

Even if she was misleading him.

Lizi's breath echoes softly behind his ears.

"Protect her or not?"

Cheng Yizhi asked himself.

"Sure."

It's not the strong protecting the weak,

but the protection between the same kind.

Gui, get some other fruit in the afternoon.

Yes, Madam.

- Good morning, Lizi. - Morning.

Today's newspaper.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, Yizhi.

I always thought I could drink a lot.

I didn't expect that I'd pass out.

When I woke up,

it was already this morning.

I interrupted a good wedding banquet.

Did any guests feel disappointed?

No.

Master also said that

we're the priority of the wedding night.

Really? That's good.

I was afraid that Master and Madam would blame me.

They're always good-natured and considerate.

Besides, they've met you before.

You gave them a good impression.

So, you needn't be so nervous.

From now on, no one can hurt you anymore.

Sure.

In the future, I will have a backer.

Even if they dare to bully me,

they have to consider you and Master.

Yizhi, does Master value you a lot?

He appreciates me indeed.

Have you worked for Master for a long time?

Not long.

When you met me at Ya'en University, I was selling dry goods on Forth Street.

I don't believe you.

You must have done things with Master

which no one else could do.

Right?

There's no such thing so far.

Hopefully, there will be in the future.

What? Are you disappointed?

I'm not as good as you imagined.

Of course not.

I'm surprised.

How could I get married to such a capable man?

Manager!

Congratulations, Manager!

Congratulations!

Our manager is young and powerful.

The first night of his marriage, he didn't sleep late

and he comes so early.

Well,

our manager is considerate of his wife. Right?

You.

The wedding cigarette can't fill your mouth, right?

Go to work. Go to work.

Right, Roundface.

Do me a favor. To find a decent photo studio.

A photo studio?

What happened this time, you don't have to take it personally.

All right, go to work.

Thank you, Mr. Charlie.

Here you are. Anything to drink?

No.

Okay. Look at you.

Instead of going on a honeymoon with your husband,

why do you come to my place?

I found the voice.

What voice?

White Face Wei's voice was high and thin.

It doesn't match with the call. I thought it was strange.

Until yesterday.

I heard the sound with my own ears.

Yesterday?

Yesterday was your wedding day.

Cheng Yizhi's master.

The owner of Lung Ying Bank.

Huang Ruhong.

- No way. - Why?

We've never heard that Huang Ruhong

had any relation with your dad.

Two very different people.

He had no reason to hurt your father.

There was a relationship. That call was the relationship.

A call.

A voice.

What makes you so sure?

Intuition.

Lizi,

when it comes to intuition,

you were wrong about White Face Wei before, right?

This time is different.

I believe it must be him.

Then, what about Cheng Yizhi?

Cheng Yizhi may be my only way to investigate Huang Ruhong.

- Can you change it? - Yes, I can.

[Zhaohua Photo Studio]

Why are you here?

I... I'm here to...

look... look around.

- Look around? - Right.

At what?

The film.

- The film? - Yeah.

Is the bank all right?

Did you skip work to watch the film?

I didn't skip work.

I'm here to work. Right.

Lung Ying Bank plans to loan money to the Starlight Theater.

So I came to see how it was doing in advance.

I see.

It's like a private investigation.

Right. A private investigation.

Why are you here?
