How to pronounce "准确"

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 3]

Mom,

if you're not comfortable going there,

I'll go to the Zhu family myself.

No need.

I'll go.

I totally respect your decision.

If you don't want to do something,

no one can force you.

Tomorrow I'll tell Mrs. Zhu.

She has to agree.

If anyone dares to bully

us,

I'll be the first to stand against it.

Our family is doing so well now.

Mom.

Well, Siyun.

Look at these fabrics.

The Qiao family sent them for your casual clothes,

all imported from Paris.

What do you think?

Auntie.

Look.

This is the wedding dress I designed for you.

Is it beautiful?

It is designed by you.

It's really beautiful.

The dress is

not important.

The key point is Siyun's beauty,

elegance,

and figure.

No matter what she wears,

she's the most beautiful girl in Shanghai.

My aunt will definitely be

the most beautiful bride in Shanghai.

And I'll be

the happiest brother-in-law in Shanghai.

Mom,

you'll be the happiest mother-in-law in Shanghai.

Yi,

do you know what this is?

When one person succeeds,

even his dog and chicken ascend to heaven.

Who's dog and who's chicken?

I'm the chicken, and you're the dog.

No, no.

I'm the dog, and you're the chicken.

No.

I...

I might not have used the right expression.

Anyway, you know what I mean.

Happy,

joyful,

and delighted.

All thanks to Siyun.

Mom.

If there's nothing else,

I'll go upstairs to bed.

Then I'll go upstairs with Auntie too.

Okay.

Alright,

go to bed early, too.

Don't stay up late.

Get some rest.

I'm not in a hurry.

I need to

gather all the good news

our family has had.

Tonight,

I want to have a chat with Dad.

Keep your voice down.

Everyone's trying to sleep.

Slow down, Mom.

Come in.

And you are?

Hello, Under-secretary Dong,

my name is Lin Siyun.

Old Shen mentioned you.

Come on.

Please have a seat, Miss Lin.

Please, sit down.

Old Shen

didn't lie to me.

Miss Lin,

you are truly

beautiful

and captivating.

Have you reviewed

my documents?

All the official stamps required

for this approval document are complete.

Your hospital

can now open for business.

Thank you.

When the hospital opens,

please come with your wife to honor us with your presence.

Sure.

Look,

it's

lunchtime already.

Miss Lin, if you're free,

would you join me for a meal?

I

have some hospital matters to deal with,

so I'll have to pass.

Well, next time then.

Let's have lunch together next time.

If there's nothing else, I'll leave now.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Cheng Ao.

You work here?

Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Shen Yiqun's little sister.

Shen Fangfang?

My name is Shen Yingying.

I'm sorry.

Shen Yingying,

long time no see.

Your gang's office is really nice.

This is a legitimate law firm.

But Yiqun said you're in a gang.

My family is involved with gangs,

but

I'm a lawyer.

Then let me have a look around.

I have a client inside.

Do you have any case

that needs my help?

Can't I see you without having a case?

If you want cases, my father has plenty.

He can make you the most famous lawyer

in Shanghai overnight.

Think about it.

You lied to me.

There's no client at all.

Where's my client?

I'm in a good mood, so I'll forgive you.

Nice chair.

I'm really curious about you.

Yinqun says you're a gang member,

but you say you're a lawyer.

Who should I believe?

I'll believe you,

since Yiqun never tells the truth.

Are you free tomorrow?

I'd like to treat you to coffee.

I have two cases to handle tomorrow.

Then the day after tomorrow?

I have two cases that day as well.

Then, choose one of these days

and cancel your original arrangement.

As for my four cases,

if I don't handle two of them,

someone will go to jail.

If I don't handle the other two,

someone will go bankrupt.

How about this?

You help me choose a day,

and decide which one to cancel,

so I can have coffee with you.

Never mind.

Men always prioritize their careers.

I respect you

and understand you.

I'll come back in a few days to make an appointment with you.

Goodbye.

I'll take this place.

When should I pay the deposit?

You're quite the impatient one.

You can pay the deposit tomorrow or the day after.

My husband told me

that you're planning to open a hospital.

Yes.

A maternity hospital.

Since you've married into the Qiao family,

why work so hard?

Why don't you enjoy being a noble lady?

It's good for a woman to work hard.

I don't understand.

I suppose everyone has their own way of living.

Yes,

everyone has their own way.

What are you doing, Siyun?

Come down quickly!

The wedding is tomorrow.

Hurry down and try on your dress.

Coming, Mom.

Siyun, listen to me,

from now on,

you can only drink water.

You can't eat anything else, understand?

All these clothes are custom-tailored.

Even the slightest change will make them not fit properly.

Look at this wedding dress.

How is it?

Beautiful, right?

-Auntie. -Try on the wedding dress first.

Auntie,

there's a letter for you.

[To Qin]

Who delivered this letter?

I don't know. I don't recognize him.

He just said it was urgent

and told you to read it yourself.

What are you doing? Try on the clothes first.

I'll come down after reading this letter, Mom.

Well, hurry up then.

Who sent it?

I don't know who he is.

Boss,

the letter has been delivered to the Lin family's servant.

Qin,

since we parted this morning,

my heart has been restless.

My marriage to Miss Lin

is entirely due to my father's orders,

and I have no feelings for her.

Please don't be upset about this.

You're the only one in my heart.

I've thought it through carefully.

After you graduate from high school,

if you want to continue your studies,

I'll arrange for you to study abroad,

and we'll go to America together.

If you don't want to continue studying,

I'll buy you a house

and settle you down.

I

will definitely give you proper status.

Until then, don't overthink things.

Take good care of yourself,

and be sure to eat well

and rest well.

I will surely make you happy.

I love you.

Your forever love,

Shijun.

Siyun.

Mom wants you to come down and try on your clothes.

Why aren't you coming down yet?

Sis,

please tell my mom.

I won't try on the wedding dress now.

I'm going to find Qiao Shijun.

In such a hurry?

You two are really close.

You're getting married tomorrow,

and you still want to see him today.

I've been through this before.

Women shouldn't be too eager,

but let your man be the eager one.

Siyun.

Can you accept that I have other women

after we are married?

I can guarantee

they will respect you,

and as for all the money you need,

I'll let you manage it.

When we met,

you told me you were a progressive young man

who hates those outdated traditions.

Why did you lie to me?

Siyun, you are

taking this too seriously.

You weren't like this when you were younger.

I've always been like this.

People always make progress.

In my relationship,

I want us to love each other equally,

with no room for the third one.

So you're trying to change my views?

Not at all.

I won't try to change anyone's views.

There's no point.

What do you want to do then?

We're not married yet.

You mean you want to break off the engagement?

Should we tell the public it is you who end it, or me?

Be honest.

Be honest?

Siyun, you're being too naive.

Given your family's current situation,

we can still get married

because first

when we were children,

your father and my father arranged our betrothal,

and second,

I love you.

Otherwise,

I have many other options.

Be my wife.

You'll gain more than what you'll lose.

My love isn't a business transaction.

Siyun,

you're too arrogant,

which will make you suffer loss.

I'm willing to suffer loss.

Won't you think about your brother?

If you break off the engagement,

he won't be able to pay back a single cent.

That's his problem.

Fine.

I was wrong.

What do you mean?

We're not right for each other.

We are right for each other.

Please don't be so stubborn.

Stop making a scene,

okay?

Don't touch me.

Okay, I won't touch you.

Let me tell you, with your temper,

no man in Shanghai will like you.

That's my business.

You should go now.

Go home.

I'll give you one night to think it through.

I know you're impulsive right now.

Hello,

Cheng Ao from Pingzheng Law Firm.

It's me, Lu Yingchen.

Tomorrow's front page will be

"Dai Xi's personal account of living with Shen Yiqun",

with text and photos.

The article has already gone to print.

Has the printing started already?

I'm not sure.

Don't blame me.

I noticed it just now.

I've been out chasing stories all day.

Alright, got it.

Cheng.

Shen Yiqun.

Read the newspaper.

[Secret Story Between a Prostitute & a Senior Official]

All these newspapers have been taken away

and the printing plates were destroyed.

They've called the police,

so handle it as you see fit.

This is the payment for those newspapers.

Make sure it's transferred to the factory and newspaper office before knocking off.

You two politicians

use a pregnant woman as a pawn in your games.

Is that dignified?

Dignity has no place in politics.

But

it's quite enjoyable.

Let me ask you,

in your opinion,

how will

Dai Xi's issue develop

and how should it be resolved?

That's easy.

You're not married.

Why don't you marry her?

Stop joking, bro.

Let me teach you what politics is.

There's only one consequence for Dai Xi.

When Liu thinks she's no longer useful,

he'll kill her.

There's another possibility.

If Dai Xi causes more trouble,

you'll kill her,

right?

I didn't say that.

You did.

Transfer the money promptly.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

What are you staring at?

Bro.

We're back.

What do you want?

What do you want?

Do you really think Liu and Shen

would turn against each other because of you?

You're too naive.

Didn't you hear what he said?

If Liu doesn't kill you,

then, Shen will.

Wasn't there a knife at your kidney today?

Keep quiet and follow me.

Do you know who wants her?

I don't care.

Get lost now.

Are you saying

that person today

works for Liu?

Why are you talking so much?

Are you stupid?

Tomorrow Shen will

threaten you with a knife, too.

Let's go.

Are you waiting for me to hold you?

Come on.

Stop dawdling.

Bro.

Do we have to help Dai Xi?

We gave her money

and helped her leave safely.

What are we getting out of this?

Let's go.

Mom.

The Qiao family is indeed a noble family.

These betrothal gifts

are wonderful.

Yes, indeed.

Hello.

Who's this?

Uncle Qiao.

This is Jinghan.

Go ahead.

No.

I understand.

Don't worry.

I'll handle it properly.

Why are you crying?

What did Uncle Qiao say to you?

Mom.

Could you please call Lin Siyun for me?

Siyun.

Siyun, come down here quickly.

Uncle Qiao called.

Is what he said true?

Yes.

I'm kneeling for you.

I'm begging you.

You don't need to

worry about the schoolgirl.

She has no status whatsoever.

She's a nobody,

and you never have to see her again.

Uncle Qiao said

even if she has a baby in the future,

she won't compete with you for the family inheritance.

I'm begging you.

Get up.

Don't do this.

If I get up, will you promise me?

Will you?

Siyun.

I'm asking you to do this

not for myself,

not for the Lin family,

but for you.

If you break off the engagement,

your reputation will be ruined.

Really.

Jianghan.

I understand.

Siyun,

I understand you.

Many couples

are just for show.

Turning a blind eye to problems,

that's how life goes by.

We're women.

Sis,

I know that.

What on earth happened?

What's going on?

What schoolgirl?

Mom,

you don't need to know that.

You just have to know that Siyun understands what's important,

and she's my dear sister.

Young Master,

Mr. Qiao is waiting in the study.

Good.

Be good.

You're the best.

Jinghan.

You don't need to pull me.

I can walk by myself.

You're really my sweetie sister.

Here comes my brother-in-law!

Look how well Siyun is doing.

And you

look quite spirited, too.

Look how cute Siyun is when she smiles.

You two lovebirds should have a good chat,

and work things out.

Alright.

Siyun.

It's been a night now.

Are you feeling better?

I'm better,

and I've thought things through.

That's good.

Couples shouldn't hold grudges overnight.

Can you give me a hug?

Okay.

I love you very much.

I promise I'll treat you well from now on.

Let's have a good life together, okay?

Young Master,

look at this.

Newspaper for sale!

Newspaper for sale!

Wealthy heiress betrayed by fiancé.

Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?

Newspaper for sale!

Newspaper for sale!

[A Young Master Raises 15-Year-Old Girls, His Comedown Fiancée Calls Off Wedding]

You did this?

You played a trick, huh?

Take it however you want.

Lin Siyun.

You'll pay for this,

as do your brother,

your mother, your sister-in-law, and Yi.

None of them will escape.

Qiao Shijun,

you still don't understand me.

I keep my word.

You'll regret this.

I never do anything without thinking it through.

Are you crazy?

Hearing your curse,

I actually find you more genuine.

Meeting a woman like you,

I'm really unlucky.

[When I saw that letter,]

[I wanted to end this marriage]

[with dignity.]

[But when faced with self-interest,]

[someone has no shame]

[and became a clown in this farce.]

Dear Dan.

Dear Huimin.

Dear Luoyuan.

Dear Xiaojun.

Nice writing.

You've got quite a lot darlings.

Where did you find

all these letters?

That's none of your business.

You gave Lin Siyun the letter, right?

Yes.

Did you also damage my car?

Yes.

Do you need a ride?

You can take my car,

and I can walk back.

No, thanks. I'll walk.

Wait.

Don't you want your letters?

Yes, I do.

What do you mean?

Check them again?

It has to be careful when dealing with politicians.

Cheng.

Here you are.

Thanks, Ao.

It's from me.

Politician is just my social identity,

but privately, we're close friends,

who completely trust each other,

right?

Cheng.

Come work for me.

Stop kidding, Director.

I am doing well working for Ao.

See how stubborn he is,

just like him.

I took a look when I came up.

There's not a single client here.

Cheng Ao.

The location of

the house is perfect.

The rent must be expensive, right?

With such a chaotic situation,

business must be tough.

Don't worry,

I've paved the way for you.

Come work in my department.

Let's work together as a team.

I assure you that you'll be a director next year.

No need for your concern, Shen.

In my business,

different times bring different cases.

I'm just doing my small business,

focusing on my own job.

Political affairs

are too grand for me.

Only outstanding persons like you

can handle such matters.

Actually,

if you work for me,

you just change your work environment.

But the clients you serve would be different.

Think about it.

Who do you

serve every day here?

Tom,

Dick and Harry,

right?

In my department,

we serve the country.

The strategic vision and elevated thinking

will be worlds apart.

Let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

Are you serving the country,

or Chairman Jiang?

First, we serve Chairman Jiang well.

Didn't you just say you serve the country?

Shen.

I really can't work for you.

First,

I'm not that slick.

Second,

my methods aren't that ruthless.

Third,

I can't tell lies.

Wouldn't you be nervous

with me

working by your side?

You're now a director,

and your dream is to be a bureau chief.

After I join you,

you might become a section chief,

or even just a clerk.

Is it worth it?

The loss outweighs the gain.

Cheng Ao.

The more you reject me,

the more I feel

that I need you so badly.

Enough. I have several cases.

Why don't you investigate them with me?

I can't understand those things anyway.

Alright then,

get some rest.

Cheng,

see him out.

Director, please.

Please reconsider.

Lin Siyun.

You're a witch.

Lin Jinghan.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just want you to kick this chair for me.

If you keep this up, I'm calling the police.

Go ahead.

Call the police.

Let all people in Shanghai see

what a shameless woman

the Lin family has.

Or just get out.

Do you even know how to get out?

Put your hands on your head,

crouch down,

push forward,

and get out.

This is my home. I live here.

You know this is your home, huh?

You!

Come over

and kick this chair for me.

Or I'll beat you to death tonight.

Lin Jinghan,

you want to beat a woman? Are you even a man?

I'm not.

You drove me to this.

But

even as a ghost, I won't let you go.

It's said that

a leader must be large-hearted.

Mr. Qiao just has several mistresses.

What happened to your tolerance?

Did someone eat it?

I can't be that tolerant.

Mom.

Siyun,

please help Jianghan.

Sis,

let's go upstairs.

No,

I can't go up there.

If I do so,

he'll beat me to death tonight.

Jinghan.

I'm coming to save you.

Come on.

Don't hold me.

You'll push the chair over.

Don't move.

Step back.

I'll get down by myself.

Lin Siyun.

Wait and see.

Jinghan.

Where did you get that chair from?

I'll take it back for you.

And you,

when I asked you to kick my chair,

why didn't you do it?

Wait and see.

Ling.

I told you

to hire midwives,

How's that going?

We've hired two already.

We still need one more.

It seems impossible to find someone suitable.

No rush,

take your time.

By the way,

Dr. Lin,

do you know who came

to apply after I posted

the job notice today?

Who?

The mother-in-law of the lying-in woman in bed five,

Mrs. Chen.

She said

that modern delivery methods are popular now,

and those wealthy ladies

don't seek their services anymore,

leaving them with only poor clients

or high-risk cases.

After seeing how you saved her daughter-in-law,

she said your methods are effective

and wanted to be your assistant

to learn from you.

What did you tell her?

I refused on your behalf, of course.

Look,

you just performed a C-section on her daughter-in-law,

and she immediately asked you

if her daughter-in-law could still have

other babies,

which shows your thoughts are totally different.

Next time you see her,

ask her to come over.

I'd like to talk with her.

Really?

You see,

even a traditional midwife

is adapting.

One's mind can be changed.

Alright,

I'll tell her next time.

Yi.

Sis.

Where are they?

Yu.

Miss, what can I do for you?

Where's my family?

Say something.

I heard from Young Madam

that Miss Yi is getting engaged today,

and her in-laws are willing to help Young Master pay off his debts.

Where are they?

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu,

and Senior Mrs. Zhu,

let me say something

as a modest spur.

Today is truly a wonderful day,

a joyous occasion.

My daughter Yi

is well-educated.

She has learnt about all the classics,

Zuo's Commentary, Spring and Autumn Annals,

as well as

natural sciences,

like species evolution.

She picks things up

very quickly.

Dad, why are you keeping talking about me?

It is the first time meeting Senior Mrs. Zhu,

so I want to praise you.

The Zhu family

values

being benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and trustworthy.

Most importantly, their financial situation is quite good,

isn't it, Senior Mrs. Zhu?

What does it have to do with me?

Just a chat.

Mom, what is Dad talking about?

Darling.

Yi is asking you.

Tell her.

Yi.

Your father wants you to live a happy life.

Just listen to him.

Your in-laws have promised

that they'll cover all your education expenses

from now on.

My in-laws?

Grandma, what are they talking about?

Yi.

Be good.

Be obedient.

Xiong is a good boy.

Your mother-in-law

and grandmother-in-law are very nice.

They will treat you well.

You want to study, and your mother-in-law has promised

to support your studies abroad.

Do you know about this?

Yes, you're my wife.

Who told you that?

My grandma.

You shouldn't tell him so.

I have no idea at all

and suddenly I became his wife.

Yi.

Don't you remember what I taught you?

Be respectful to elders

and mind your tone.

Sir,

doesn't Yi know she's getting married into our family?

She knew.

I didn't know.

Go talk to her,

and persuade her.

What's going on?

Senior Mrs. Zhu,

don't worry,

I'll have a chat with her.

Here, let me pour you wine.

You're asking for trouble.

How dare you?

Get up there!

You dare defy me in front of others?

Dare you defy me?

Dare you do it again?

Get up there.

Kneel down!

You don't appreciate my kindness, right?

You never cherish your chance.

I won't.

What?

I won't marry him.

I paid for your education and this is how you repay me?

You dare talk back to me in public?

Defy me? Dare you glare at me again?

I won't marry him.

I'll kick you!

Try that again!

I'll kick you!

Stop hitting her!

Where did you come from?

Who are you?

None of your business. Just stop hitting her.

You are nosy.

Do not poke your nose where it doesn't belong.

Get out of the way!

Let go of me!

Ouch! Ouch!

If you hit her again, I'll teach you a lesson.

It hurts!

Let go!

Are you okay, Miss?

That's what you get for showing off.

Try twisting my arm again!

Dare you to try that again!

Meddle in others' business, huh?

Dare you do it again?

Lin Jinghan!

Dare you do it again?

Stop!

This is the concession area.

If you smash his head

and get arrested by the police,

you'll go to jail.

Don't give me that nonsense.

I've weathered all kinds of storms.

Go ahead, call the police.

You are the shame of the Lin family.

Are you okay?

It's fine now.

It should be here.

-Are you okay? -Are you okay?

I didn't feel the pain before,

but now it's starting to hurt a bit.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for today.

Here you are.

-What's your name? -What's your name?

I'm Yi.

Nice to meet you.

Zhou Zhaoyuan.

I'm her aunt.

Hello.

Mom, I'm home.

Mom?

Yi, come here.

Sit down.

Yi.

Don't blame your father.

Your aunt destroyed this family.

Your father had no choice but to do so.

He did it for our family,

and for you.

Do you understand?

Lin Siyun, come here.

I don't understand.

You called off your perfect marriage with Mr. Qiao

and ruined Yi's marriage.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Who's really in charge of this family?

How have we wronged you

that you treat us this way?

You are a woman.

You should do what you're supposed to do.

Mom,

please tell Lin Jinghan

that the Zhu family's bride price

should be returned in full.

From today on, Yi

will live with me

and I'll pay for her living expenses

and tuition fees.

How can you be so selfish?

Why do I have such a selfish daughter?

Yi,

come upstairs with me.

Yi, sit down.

Mom.

Listen to your grandmother.

I want to listen to Auntie.

[Footprints of Change]

[Episode 3]

Mom,

if you're not comfortable going there,

I'll go to the Zhu family myself.

No need.

I'll go.

I totally respect your decision.

If you don't want to do something,

no one can force you.

Tomorrow I'll tell Mrs. Zhu.

She has to agree.

If anyone dares to bully

us,

I'll be the first to stand against it.

Our family is doing so well now.

Mom.

Well, Siyun.

Look at these fabrics.

The Qiao family sent them for your casual clothes,

all imported from Paris.

What do you think?

Auntie.

Look.

This is the wedding dress I designed for you.

Is it beautiful?

It is designed by you.

It's really beautiful.

The dress is

not important.

The key point is Siyun's beauty,

elegance,

and figure.

No matter what she wears,

she's the most beautiful girl in Shanghai.

My aunt will definitely be

the most beautiful bride in Shanghai.

And I'll be

the happiest brother-in-law in Shanghai.

Mom,

you'll be the happiest mother-in-law in Shanghai.

Yi,

do you know what this is?

When one person succeeds,

even his dog and chicken ascend to heaven.

Who's dog and who's chicken?

I'm the chicken, and you're the dog.

No, no.

I'm the dog, and you're the chicken.

No.

I...

I might not have used the right expression.

Anyway, you know what I mean.

Happy,

joyful,

and delighted.

All thanks to Siyun.

Mom.

If there's nothing else,

I'll go upstairs to bed.

Then I'll go upstairs with Auntie too.

Okay.

Alright,

go to bed early, too.

Don't stay up late.

Get some rest.

I'm not in a hurry.

I need to

gather all the good news

our family has had.

Tonight,

I want to have a chat with Dad.

Keep your voice down.

Everyone's trying to sleep.

Slow down, Mom.

Come in.

And you are?

Hello, Under-secretary Dong,

my name is Lin Siyun.

Old Shen mentioned you.

Come on.

Please have a seat, Miss Lin.

Please, sit down.

Old Shen

didn't lie to me.

Miss Lin,

you are truly

beautiful

and captivating.

Have you reviewed

my documents?

All the official stamps required

for this approval document are complete.

Your hospital

can now open for business.

Thank you.

When the hospital opens,

please come with your wife to honor us with your presence.

Sure.

Look,

it's

lunchtime already.

Miss Lin, if you're free,

would you join me for a meal?

I

have some hospital matters to deal with,

so I'll have to pass.

Well, next time then.

Let's have lunch together next time.

If there's nothing else, I'll leave now.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Cheng Ao.

You work here?

Yes.

Who are you?

I'm Shen Yiqun's little sister.

Shen Fangfang?

My name is Shen Yingying.

I'm sorry.

Shen Yingying,

long time no see.

Your gang's office is really nice.

This is a legitimate law firm.

But Yiqun said you're in a gang.

My family is involved with gangs,

but

I'm a lawyer.

Then let me have a look around.

I have a client inside.

Do you have any case

that needs my help?

Can't I see you without having a case?

If you want cases, my father has plenty.

He can make you the most famous lawyer

in Shanghai overnight.

Think about it.

You lied to me.

There's no client at all.

Where's my client?

I'm in a good mood, so I'll forgive you.

Nice chair.

I'm really curious about you.

Yinqun says you're a gang member,

but you say you're a lawyer.

Who should I believe?

I'll believe you,

since Yiqun never tells the truth.

Are you free tomorrow?

I'd like to treat you to coffee.

I have two cases to handle tomorrow.

Then the day after tomorrow?

I have two cases that day as well.

Then, choose one of these days

and cancel your original arrangement.

As for my four cases,

if I don't handle two of them,

someone will go to jail.

If I don't handle the other two,

someone will go bankrupt.

How about this?

You help me choose a day,

and decide which one to cancel,

so I can have coffee with you.

Never mind.

Men always prioritize their careers.

I respect you

and understand you.

I'll come back in a few days to make an appointment with you.

Goodbye.

I'll take this place.

When should I pay the deposit?

You're quite the impatient one.

You can pay the deposit tomorrow or the day after.

My husband told me

that you're planning to open a hospital.

Yes.

A maternity hospital.

Since you've married into the Qiao family,

why work so hard?

Why don't you enjoy being a noble lady?

It's good for a woman to work hard.

I don't understand.

I suppose everyone has their own way of living.

Yes,

everyone has their own way.

What are you doing, Siyun?

Come down quickly!

The wedding is tomorrow.

Hurry down and try on your dress.

Coming, Mom.

Siyun, listen to me,

from now on,

you can only drink water.

You can't eat anything else, understand?

All these clothes are custom-tailored.

Even the slightest change will make them not fit properly.

Look at this wedding dress.

How is it?

Beautiful, right?

-Auntie. -Try on the wedding dress first.

Auntie,

there's a letter for you.

[To Qin]

Who delivered this letter?

I don't know. I don't recognize him.

He just said it was urgent

and told you to read it yourself.

What are you doing? Try on the clothes first.

I'll come down after reading this letter, Mom.

Well, hurry up then.

Who sent it?

I don't know who he is.

Boss,

the letter has been delivered to the Lin family's servant.

Qin,

since we parted this morning,

my heart has been restless.

My marriage to Miss Lin

is entirely due to my father's orders,

and I have no feelings for her.

Please don't be upset about this.

You're the only one in my heart.

I've thought it through carefully.

After you graduate from high school,

if you want to continue your studies,

I'll arrange for you to study abroad,

and we'll go to America together.

If you don't want to continue studying,

I'll buy you a house

and settle you down.

I

will definitely give you proper status.

Until then, don't overthink things.

Take good care of yourself,

and be sure to eat well

and rest well.

I will surely make you happy.

I love you.

Your forever love,

Shijun.

Siyun.

Mom wants you to come down and try on your clothes.

Why aren't you coming down yet?

Sis,

please tell my mom.

I won't try on the wedding dress now.

I'm going to find Qiao Shijun.

In such a hurry?

You two are really close.

You're getting married tomorrow,

and you still want to see him today.

I've been through this before.

Women shouldn't be too eager,

but let your man be the eager one.

Siyun.

Can you accept that I have other women

after we are married?

I can guarantee

they will respect you,

and as for all the money you need,

I'll let you manage it.

When we met,

you told me you were a progressive young man

who hates those outdated traditions.

Why did you lie to me?

Siyun, you are

taking this too seriously.

You weren't like this when you were younger.

I've always been like this.

People always make progress.

In my relationship,

I want us to love each other equally,

with no room for the third one.

So you're trying to change my views?

Not at all.

I won't try to change anyone's views.

There's no point.

What do you want to do then?

We're not married yet.

You mean you want to break off the engagement?

Should we tell the public it is you who end it, or me?

Be honest.

Be honest?

Siyun, you're being too naive.

Given your family's current situation,

we can still get married

because first

when we were children,

your father and my father arranged our betrothal,

and second,

I love you.

Otherwise,

I have many other options.

Be my wife.

You'll gain more than what you'll lose.

My love isn't a business transaction.

Siyun,

you're too arrogant,

which will make you suffer loss.

I'm willing to suffer loss.

Won't you think about your brother?

If you break off the engagement,

he won't be able to pay back a single cent.

That's his problem.

Fine.

I was wrong.

What do you mean?

We're not right for each other.

We are right for each other.

Please don't be so stubborn.

Stop making a scene,

okay?

Don't touch me.

Okay, I won't touch you.

Let me tell you, with your temper,

no man in Shanghai will like you.

That's my business.

You should go now.

Go home.

I'll give you one night to think it through.

I know you're impulsive right now.

Hello,

Cheng Ao from Pingzheng Law Firm.

It's me, Lu Yingchen.

Tomorrow's front page will be

"Dai Xi's personal account of living with Shen Yiqun",

with text and photos.

The article has already gone to print.

Has the printing started already?

I'm not sure.

Don't blame me.

I noticed it just now.

I've been out chasing stories all day.

Alright, got it.

Cheng.

Shen Yiqun.

Read the newspaper.

[Secret Story Between a Prostitute & a Senior Official]

All these newspapers have been taken away

and the printing plates were destroyed.

They've called the police,

so handle it as you see fit.

This is the payment for those newspapers.

Make sure it's transferred to the factory and newspaper office before knocking off.

You two politicians

use a pregnant woman as a pawn in your games.

Is that dignified?

Dignity has no place in politics.

But

it's quite enjoyable.

Let me ask you,

in your opinion,

how will

Dai Xi's issue develop

and how should it be resolved?

That's easy.

You're not married.

Why don't you marry her?

Stop joking, bro.

Let me teach you what politics is.

There's only one consequence for Dai Xi.

When Liu thinks she's no longer useful,

he'll kill her.

There's another possibility.

If Dai Xi causes more trouble,

you'll kill her,

right?

I didn't say that.

You did.

Transfer the money promptly.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

What are you staring at?

Bro.

We're back.

What do you want?

What do you want?

Do you really think Liu and Shen

would turn against each other because of you?

You're too naive.

Didn't you hear what he said?

If Liu doesn't kill you,

then, Shen will.

Wasn't there a knife at your kidney today?

Keep quiet and follow me.

Do you know who wants her?

I don't care.

Get lost now.

Are you saying

that person today

works for Liu?

Why are you talking so much?

Are you stupid?

Tomorrow Shen will

threaten you with a knife, too.

Let's go.

Are you waiting for me to hold you?

Come on.

Stop dawdling.

Bro.

Do we have to help Dai Xi?

We gave her money

and helped her leave safely.

What are we getting out of this?

Let's go.

Mom.

The Qiao family is indeed a noble family.

These betrothal gifts

are wonderful.

Yes, indeed.

Hello.

Who's this?

Uncle Qiao.

This is Jinghan.

Go ahead.

No.

I understand.

Don't worry.

I'll handle it properly.

Why are you crying?

What did Uncle Qiao say to you?

Mom.

Could you please call Lin Siyun for me?

Siyun.

Siyun, come down here quickly.

Uncle Qiao called.

Is what he said true?

Yes.

I'm kneeling for you.

I'm begging you.

You don't need to

worry about the schoolgirl.

She has no status whatsoever.

She's a nobody,

and you never have to see her again.

Uncle Qiao said

even if she has a baby in the future,

she won't compete with you for the family inheritance.

I'm begging you.

Get up.

Don't do this.

If I get up, will you promise me?

Will you?

Siyun.

I'm asking you to do this

not for myself,

not for the Lin family,

but for you.

If you break off the engagement,

your reputation will be ruined.

Really.

Jianghan.

I understand.

Siyun,

I understand you.

Many couples

are just for show.

Turning a blind eye to problems,

that's how life goes by.

We're women.

Sis,

I know that.

What on earth happened?

What's going on?

What schoolgirl?

Mom,

you don't need to know that.

You just have to know that Siyun understands what's important,

and she's my dear sister.

Young Master,

Mr. Qiao is waiting in the study.

Good.

Be good.

You're the best.

Jinghan.

You don't need to pull me.

I can walk by myself.

You're really my sweetie sister.

Here comes my brother-in-law!

Look how well Siyun is doing.

And you

look quite spirited, too.

Look how cute Siyun is when she smiles.

You two lovebirds should have a good chat,

and work things out.

Alright.

Siyun.

It's been a night now.

Are you feeling better?

I'm better,

and I've thought things through.

That's good.

Couples shouldn't hold grudges overnight.

Can you give me a hug?

Okay.

I love you very much.

I promise I'll treat you well from now on.

Let's have a good life together, okay?

Young Master,

look at this.

Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?

Newspaper for sale!

[A Young Master Raises 15-Year-Old Girls, His Comedown Fiancée Calls Off Wedding]

You did this?

You played a trick, huh?

Take it however you want.

Lin Siyun.

You'll pay for this,

as do your brother,

your mother, your sister-in-law, and Yi.

None of them will escape.

Qiao Shijun,

you still don't understand me.

I keep my word.

You'll regret this.

I never do anything without thinking it through.

Are you crazy?

Hearing your curse,

I actually find you more genuine.

Meeting a woman like you,

I'm really unlucky.

[When I saw that letter,]

[I wanted to end this marriage]

[with dignity.]

[But when faced with self-interest,]

[someone has no shame]

[and became a clown in this farce.]

Dear Dan.

Dear Huimin.

Dear Luoyuan.

Dear Xiaojun.

Nice writing.

You've got quite a lot darlings.

Where did you find

all these letters?

That's none of your business.

You gave Lin Siyun the letter, right?

Yes.

Did you also damage my car?

Yes.

Do you need a ride?

You can take my car,

and I can walk back.

No, thanks. I'll walk.

Wait.

Don't you want your letters?

Yes, I do.

What do you mean?

Check them again?

It has to be careful when dealing with politicians.

Cheng.

Here you are.

Thanks, Ao.

It's from me.

Politician is just my social identity,

but privately, we're close friends,

who completely trust each other,

right?

Cheng.

Come work for me.

Stop kidding, Director.

I am doing well working for Ao.

See how stubborn he is,

just like him.

I took a look when I came up.

There's not a single client here.

Cheng Ao.

The location of

the house is perfect.

The rent must be expensive, right?

With such a chaotic situation,

business must be tough.

Don't worry,

I've paved the way for you.

Come work in my department.

Let's work together as a team.

I assure you that you'll be a director next year.

No need for your concern, Shen.

In my business,

different times bring different cases.

I'm just doing my small business,

focusing on my own job.

Political affairs

are too grand for me.

Only outstanding persons like you

can handle such matters.

Actually,

if you work for me,

you just change your work environment.

But the clients you serve would be different.

Think about it.

Who do you

serve every day here?

Tom,

Dick and Harry,

right?

In my department,

we serve the country.

The strategic vision and elevated thinking

will be worlds apart.

Let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

Are you serving the country,

or Chairman Jiang?

First, we serve Chairman Jiang well.

Didn't you just say you serve the country?

Shen.

I really can't work for you.

First,

I'm not that slick.

Second,

my methods aren't that ruthless.

Third,

I can't tell lies.

Wouldn't you be nervous

with me

working by your side?

You're now a director,

and your dream is to be a bureau chief.

After I join you,

you might become a section chief,

or even just a clerk.

Is it worth it?

The loss outweighs the gain.

Cheng Ao.

The more you reject me,

the more I feel

that I need you so badly.

Enough. I have several cases.

Why don't you investigate them with me?

I can't understand those things anyway.

Alright then,

get some rest.

Cheng,

see him out.

Director, please.

Please reconsider.

Lin Siyun.

You're a witch.

Lin Jinghan.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just want you to kick this chair for me.

If you keep this up, I'm calling the police.

Go ahead.

Call the police.

Let all people in Shanghai see

what a shameless woman

the Lin family has.

Or just get out.

Do you even know how to get out?

Put your hands on your head,

crouch down,

push forward,

and get out.

This is my home. I live here.

You know this is your home, huh?

You!

Come over

and kick this chair for me.

Or I'll beat you to death tonight.

Lin Jinghan,

you want to beat a woman? Are you even a man?

I'm not.

You drove me to this.

But

even as a ghost, I won't let you go.

It's said that

a leader must be large-hearted.

Mr. Qiao just has several mistresses.

What happened to your tolerance?

Did someone eat it?

I can't be that tolerant.

Mom.

Siyun,

please help Jianghan.

Sis,

let's go upstairs.

No,

I can't go up there.

If I do so,

he'll beat me to death tonight.

Jinghan.

I'm coming to save you.

Come on.

Don't hold me.

You'll push the chair over.

Don't move.

Step back.

I'll get down by myself.

Lin Siyun.

Wait and see.

Jinghan.

Where did you get that chair from?

I'll take it back for you.

And you,

when I asked you to kick my chair,

why didn't you do it?

Wait and see.

Ling.

I told you

to hire midwives,

How's that going?

We've hired two already.

We still need one more.

It seems impossible to find someone suitable.

No rush,

take your time.

By the way,

Dr. Lin,

do you know who came

to apply after I posted

the job notice today?

Who?

The mother-in-law of the lying-in woman in bed five,

Mrs. Chen.

She said

that modern delivery methods are popular now,

and those wealthy ladies

don't seek their services anymore,

leaving them with only poor clients

or high-risk cases.

After seeing how you saved her daughter-in-law,

she said your methods are effective

and wanted to be your assistant

to learn from you.

What did you tell her?

I refused on your behalf, of course.

Look,

you just performed a C-section on her daughter-in-law,

and she immediately asked you

if her daughter-in-law could still have

other babies,

which shows your thoughts are totally different.

Next time you see her,

ask her to come over.

I'd like to talk with her.

Really?

You see,

even a traditional midwife

is adapting.

One's mind can be changed.

Alright,

I'll tell her next time.

Yi.

Sis.

Where are they?

Yu.

Miss, what can I do for you?

Where's my family?

Say something.

I heard from Young Madam

that Miss Yi is getting engaged today,

and her in-laws are willing to help Young Master pay off his debts.

Where are they?

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu,

and Senior Mrs. Zhu,

let me say something

as a modest spur.

Today is truly a wonderful day,

a joyous occasion.

My daughter Yi

is well-educated.

She has learnt about all the classics,

Zuo's Commentary, Spring and Autumn Annals,

as well as

natural sciences,

like species evolution.

She picks things up

very quickly.

Dad, why are you keeping talking about me?

It is the first time meeting Senior Mrs. Zhu,

so I want to praise you.

The Zhu family

values

being benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and trustworthy.

Most importantly, their financial situation is quite good,

isn't it, Senior Mrs. Zhu?

What does it have to do with me?

Just a chat.

Mom, what is Dad talking about?

Darling.

Yi is asking you.

Tell her.

Yi.

Your father wants you to live a happy life.

Just listen to him.

Your in-laws have promised

that they'll cover all your education expenses

from now on.

My in-laws?

Grandma, what are they talking about?

Yi.

Be good.

Be obedient.

Xiong is a good boy.

Your mother-in-law

and grandmother-in-law are very nice.

They will treat you well.

You want to study, and your mother-in-law has promised

to support your studies abroad.

Do you know about this?

Yes, you're my wife.

Who told you that?

My grandma.

You shouldn't tell him so.

I have no idea at all

and suddenly I became his wife.

Yi.

Don't you remember what I taught you?

Be respectful to elders

and mind your tone.

Sir,

doesn't Yi know she's getting married into our family?

She knew.

I didn't know.

Go talk to her,

and persuade her.

What's going on?

Senior Mrs. Zhu,

don't worry,

I'll have a chat with her.

Here, let me pour you wine.

You're asking for trouble.

How dare you?

Get up there!

You dare defy me in front of others?

Dare you defy me?

Dare you do it again?

Get up there.

Kneel down!

You don't appreciate my kindness, right?

You never cherish your chance.

I won't.

What?

I won't marry him.

I paid for your education and this is how you repay me?

You dare talk back to me in public?

Defy me? Dare you glare at me again?

I won't marry him.

I'll kick you!

Try that again!

I'll kick you!

Stop hitting her!

Where did you come from?

Who are you?

None of your business. Just stop hitting her.

You are nosy.

Do not poke your nose where it doesn't belong.

Get out of the way!

Let go of me!

Ouch! Ouch!

If you hit her again, I'll teach you a lesson.

It hurts!

Let go!

Are you okay, Miss?

That's what you get for showing off.

Try twisting my arm again!

Dare you to try that again!

Meddle in others' business, huh?

Dare you do it again?

Lin Jinghan!

Dare you do it again?

Stop!

This is the concession area.

If you smash his head

and get arrested by the police,

you'll go to jail.

Don't give me that nonsense.

I've weathered all kinds of storms.

Go ahead, call the police.

You are the shame of the Lin family.

Are you okay?

It's fine now.

It should be here.

-Are you okay? -Are you okay?

I didn't feel the pain before,

but now it's starting to hurt a bit.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for today.

Here you are.

-What's your name? -What's your name?

I'm Yi.

Nice to meet you.

Zhou Zhaoyuan.

I'm her aunt.

Hello.

Mom, I'm home.

Mom?

Yi, come here.

Sit down.

Yi.

Don't blame your father.

Your aunt destroyed this family.

Your father had no choice but to do so.

He did it for our family,

and for you.

Do you understand?

Lin Siyun, come here.

I don't understand.

You called off your perfect marriage with Mr. Qiao

and ruined Yi's marriage.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Who's really in charge of this family?

How have we wronged you

that you treat us this way?

You are a woman.

You should do what you're supposed to do.

Mom,

please tell Lin Jinghan

that the Zhu family's bride price

should be returned in full.

From today on, Yi

will live with me

and I'll pay for her living expenses

and tuition fees.

How can you be so selfish?

Why do I have such a selfish daughter?

Yi,

come upstairs with me.

Yi, sit down.

Mom.

Listen to your grandmother.

I want to listen to Auntie.
