[Episode 1]
Ye Xining.
[Interrogation Room 1]
Shang Yunfei and his fiancée Huang Yahui are missing.
They're suspected of embezzling
[Strict Law Enforcement]
more than 350,000 yuan.
We're currently looking for them.
We'd like you to cooperate with our investigation.
That can't be.
What's your relationship
with Huang Yahui?
We're colleagues.
Huang Yahui was a cashier at your unit.
Every one of these transfers bears your signature.
Do you know
where the money went?
I signed them,
but I didn't approve the project.
I was just doing my job,
and I had no idea she was embezzling.
Huang Yahui took out a personal loan,
and you were her guarantor,
is that correct?
Since you were only colleagues,
why did you agree to guarantee her loan?
We had worked together for 3 years
and we got along well.
Regarding Huang Yahui's case,
I advise you to voluntarily disclose all relevant information.
If you hide anything
and are subsequently classified as an accomplice,
you'll face severe legal repercussions.
Ye Xining,
someone from your unit is here.
You may go now.
Director.
I'm so sorry.
I never thought something like this would happen.
Go back to your dorm and rest for now.
I'll wash up, get changed
and head to the bureau later.
I'll see you there.
You should take a few days off to rest.
I... I don't need to rest.
This is a critical time for my promotion review.
I absolutely can't fall behind on work.
There's no need to rush back for work.
Just take a few days off.
Director,
what do you mean by that?
Given what happened to Huang Yahui,
the bureau is holding an emergency meeting right now.
I'm afraid that the situation doesn't look good for you.
You've been at the bureau for 3 years now.
Do you really think the bureau
will just let it go after Huang Yahui
made such a huge mess and ran off?
Ye,
your promotion is off the table,
and you'll probably be held accountable.
Huang Yahui is the biggest embezzler
our bureau has ever had.
Besides, the bureau believes
her embezzlement was enabled
by certain officials' dereliction of duty.
Do you know what the crime of dereliction of duty is?
The country has zero tolerance for it.
As the police said,
if they find anything on you,
you could go to jail, too.
Liu, why are you in such a hurry?
Ye Xining has collapsed! Go get help!
Okay, okay! I'll go help.
Grandma.
Ning, you're awake.
Just lie down.
Are you thirsty?
No, Grandma.
I know everything that's happened to you.
I want to tell you a story
about my aunt.
Maybe it will help you
after you hear it.
I remember it was a hot summer in Shanghai.
My grandfather never got to see the person
he was waiting for before he passed.
[1936, Shanghai]
I knew who he was waiting for.
It was my aunt, who was studying in Germany at the time.
Becoming a doctor
was my father's and my shared dream.
All these years,
my father hid his illness and our family's struggles
so I could focus on my studies abroad.
I never expected
everything to happen so suddenly.
May I ask your name, miss?
My surname is Lin.
You're beautiful.
Do you have a ride?
Yes, I do.
Goodbye.
Nice glasses.
They're yours now.
I bought them in the U.K.
You didn't bring me any gifts for my homecoming?
Let's go home.
[Exit]
There she is.
Auntie.
You're finally back.
Miss,
what's in these suitcases?
Why are they so heavy?
It's all medical equipment I brought back from Germany.
You two take one.
I'll carry this one myself.
The waves were too rough on the way back,
so it took a few extra days.
How are things with your grandpa?
My dad took care of everything.
How's the rest of the family?
They're fine.
Siyun.
Long time no see.
Indeed.
You've grown up,
and you're even more beautiful.
Do you remember this bike?
I used to take you out on it when you were little.
I specially rode it here just to pick you up.
Come on, I'll take you home.
I do remember.
But...
I have Yi and Xiu with me.
We can take a rickshaw back.
Thank you,
Shen Yiqun.
Let's go.
She's really grown up.
Dad.
I'm home.
Siyun,
have you contacted the Qiao family?
Not yet.
I'll go with you tomorrow to visit the Qiao family.
There's no need to rush.
How can you say that?
Your marriage arrangement with the Qiao family
has been postponed again and again because of your studies.
Now that Dad's gone,
what if the Qiao family changed their mind
and canceled the engagement?
What would we do then?
Jinghan,
Dad just passed away.
Is this really the right time to talk about this?
Alright,
you're right.
Madam,
there's a group of people in the yard.
Who are they?
I don't know.
They seem to be from the Zeng family.
Well,
I'll go check on your sister-in-law upstairs.
I'll go up and see how she's doing.
Mrs. Lin.
Madam,
I'm Mr. Zeng's lawyer,
Cheng Ao.
I'm here to see Lin Jinghan about something.
Why is everyone so quiet?
Who's actually in charge here?
Here's the thing.
Lin Jinghan owes Mr. Zeng money,
and it's been overdue for 6 months.
He mortgaged your house as collateral.
If he doesn't repay the debt,
we'll have to seize your property.
We didn't mean to disturb you today.
We just need to see Lin Jinghan.
How much does Lin Jinghan owe you?
Lin Jinghan isn't here.
He hasn't been around for a long time.
Search.
Have we...
met before?
I don't know you.
You're really beautiful.
Yi,
go upstairs and check on your mom.
Call me if she shows any symptoms.
Okay.
I'll come right up.
How much does Jinghan owe them?
Quite a lot, I think.
It must be a significant amount.
How much exactly?
A debt is a debt—we can just repay it.
Where would we get the money to pay it back?
During the years your father was ill,
everyone avoided us.
Now that your father is gone,
who would even pay attention to us?
Even the banks are snobs,
and they won't grant us a loan.
It hurts.
Xiu,
take my mom upstairs too.
Ao,
no sign of Lin Jinghan on the first floor.
Then search the second floor.
When you find Lin Jinghan, break one of his legs first.
Let's go.
It hurts.
Ao,
we couldn't find him.
This is my bedroom.
You can't go in!
My sister-in-law is inside.
She's about to give birth.
I'm sorry.
Lin Jinghan
must come with us.
Try going in if you dare!
Is she going to cut you?
It seems like it.
She wouldn't dare.
He won't hurt you either.
I know this man.
He always keeps his word and handles things professionally.
Here, give me this cleaver.
Be good.
That was scary.
She actually did it!
Do you want me to shoot a bullet through your dimple?
Are you crazy?
Why are you bullying a girl?
She cut me.
Didn't you bring that on yourself?
Auntie, my mom is in labor!
I'll give you 30 days.
Tell Lin Jinghan.
Get the money ready within 30 days.
This is the final deadline.
Let's go.
Boss says we're leaving.
Get lost!
Are you leaving or not?
Let's go!
I need a quick bandage.
Is it a boy or a girl?
Does it matter?
No, it doesn't.
Siyun,
with all this chaos at home today,
thank goodness you're here to help deliver the baby.
Great.
It's a boy.
Our Lin family finally has an heir.
He's so beautiful.
He looks just like your dad
when he was just born.
I think he looks more like my mom.
What's wrong with your eyes?
Sister-in-law.
Yi,
get your mother a glass of water.
Okay.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Where's Lin Jinghan?
I... I'm here.
Down here.
Here.
Siyun,
are they all gone?
How did you make them leave?
Tell me about it.
How did you get in there?
Mom,
Xiu and Yi,
they lifted the bedboard for me.
In that critical moment,
I crawled in here.
Why didn't you tell me you owed so much money?
Well, you just got back,
I needed time to tell you.
I just heard
that you're in charge of the family now.
Do you have a good plan to help me repay the debt?
You owe the money.
Yes, right.
I didn't mean anything else.
I know I owe the money.
But aren't you marrying into the Qiao family?
The Qiao family owns a huge bank.
Surely you can help me.
Please help me.
Tell me if you have any good ideas.
You owe the money,
so you pay it back yourself.
What's wrong with her?
Mom,
come here,
come here.
Help me lift
this bed board
so I can get out.
I'm suffocating down here.
Jinghan,
take a look at your son!
He looks so much like you.
I see him—he does look like me.
Lift the bed board
and get me out—I can barely breathe!
This child is really beautiful.
Yes, yes, he is.
But I'm stuck in here,
-and I can't even see him. -He looks just like you.
Hey, I just realized that
you've forgotten your own son since you got a grandson.
How could you do this to me?
I know I'm in debt, but you can't treat me like this!
Look at those eyes.
They're exactly like yours.
We came all this way for nothing today.
We didn't collect the debt.
How are you going to explain this to my dad when you get back?
It's fine.
I'll talk to him.
You're still so aggressive.
You always act recklessly,
doing whatever you want without thinking.
Since when do you hit women?
I've been different from others since I was a kid.
Do you know about a hormone
called adrenaline?
My adrenaline levels
are higher than average,
so I'm prone to high blood pressure.
Is high blood pressure contagious?
Your friend seems short-tempered too.
You're Jin, right?
How's your blood pressure?
It's normal.
That's good.
From now on, when we're out, speak when you should,
and keep quiet
when you shouldn't.
Jin,
make a toast to Ao.
Ao, here's to you.
Cheers, Cheng.
Get lost!
Say that again, I dare you.
Stop, stop.
I just got back.
How about this?
I'll dance for you guys.
Follow me.
Have some tea.
Shijun,
long time no see.
You've studied abroad too.
Do you approve of arranged marriages?
Do you think we could be happy
if we got married?
When I was in middle school, I promised Siyun
that I would make her
the happiest bride in Shanghai.
Everyone laughed at me back then,
but I meant it.
A big reason I went to study abroad later
was actually because of Siyun.
I thought we could go together
and look out for each other.
But I never expected
she would go to Germany while I went to America.
A girl alone in a foreign country
must have suffered much more than I did.
I don't approve of arranged marriages.
But Siyun,
could you give me, Qiao Shijun, a chance?
Let's get to know each other again.
Yes, of course.
Well said.
Marriage is a big deal, and it should be decided by parents.
Do you remember when you two were kids, building blocks
and holding hands?
Now that you've grown up,
you even have the same long eyes
and oval face.
Chin up.
Look at that tall nose bridge.
You two really look alike.
Isn't that what they call the couples' resemblance?
Uncle Qiao.
Couples who look alike
usually have beautiful children.
Whether the child looks like Siyun
or Shijun,
they're bound to be good-looking.
Did Mr. Qiao ask for your opinion?
Uncle Qiao,
I think we should
arrange their marriage
in the next day or two.
We should invite all the influential people
in Shanghai.
The next day or two?
Tomorrow it is, then.
Isn't that too rushed?
Shijun,
take some time
to spend with Siyun.
You haven't seen each other in years, right?
Yes.
Right, right.
Spend more time together.
Go see a movie,
have dinner and chat.
Get reacquainted
and enjoy some sweet moments.
Alright.
We won't take up any more of your time today.
Well... Shijun...
is quite tall.
Well, Mr. Qiao, Shijun,
take care.
I'll see you out.
Siyun,
what would you like to eat?
I'll cook for you myself today.
Just looking at you, I'm already full.
[Ju De Hall Restaurant]
Siyun.
I'm not late, am I?
No.
I've already ordered for you.
They're all your favorites.
How did you know these are my favorite dishes?
I wrote them down in a notebook when we were little.
You... you wrote them down?
I also remember
that before you went abroad, you said
you wanted to open a maternity hospital when you returned.
I can't believe you still remember that.
Of course I do.
And I think
opening a maternity hospital has great potential.
There's a real need for it here in our country.
It's a great choice.
Shijun,
thank you for supporting me.
Your business is my business.
How could I not support you?
Hurry and eat before the food gets cold.
Cold food is bad for your stomach.
[Light Theater]
Xiu,
how was the movie? Not bad, right?
It was good.
You liked it?
I'll take you to movies every day from now on.
You two can leave now.
Xiu,
I'll take you somewhere nice to eat.
I... I don't want to eat.
It's getting late.
I should head back.
Well, I mean,
it's just a quick bite. It won't take long.
Are you blind or something?
What did you say?
Xiu, are you scared of me?
We're from the same hometown.
I've liked you for years.
Can't you just give me a chance?
If you don't want to eat, we won't.
I'll take you home.
I... I can take a rickshaw back myself.
That won't do.
I'll take you back
the way I brought you here.
I promise,
I have no bad intentions.
Just trust me this once, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go get something to eat.
I only agreed to watch a movie with you,
not have dinner.
I don't care.
I'm hungry. Can't you just eat with me?
Is that too much to ask?
You promised
you'd take me home after the movie.
I'll ask you one more time.
Are you eating or not?
No.
Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go!
Stop the car!
Why couldn't you just let me kiss you and get it over with?
Now look at what happened.
You hit your head wide open.
Have a seat.
There're so many girls in Shanghai to have fun with.
Don't tell me you actually loved that maid.
I did have feelings for her,
but I never thought she'd actually die.
Alright.
Take it easy.
If the sky falls,
my dad will hold it up.
If it falls again, I'll hold it up.
I'll help you with this.
Don't you need to drive?
No. I don't have a car.
Whose car is it, then?
It's your car.
Young Master.
Hello?
Hello, Cheng Ao.
Who's this?
Guess who I am.
What is it?
That maid from the Lin family jumped out of my car,
hit her head on the curb,
and she's dead.
I need you to check it out for me.
Her body's at Zhongde Hospital.
Auntie...
Xiu is dead.
We'll never see her again.
Miss Lin,
I'm Zeng Dalun's lawyer.
I'm here to express
condolences to the victim's family.
If it's convenient for you now,
we can have a talk.
Any requests
or compensation,
you can discuss them with me.
I don't want any compensation.
Please tell Zeng Dalun
that he will pay
for what he's done.
[Memorial tablet of Lin Shuping]
Siyun,
you're back.
How did it go?
How was it?
Siyun,
has the wedding date been set?
What's wrong?
Did you have a fight with Mr. Qiao?
How many times have I told you?
Don't act like a spoiled young lady again.
How could you argue with Mr. Qiao?
Mr. Qiao's such a nice person.
He has such a calm temper.
It must be your fault, right?
Don't you guys care about Xiu at all?
Who?
Xiu?
I mean, didn't you report it
to the police station this morning?
Leave Xiu's case to the police.
Focus on what matters,
like planning your own wedding, okay?
Xiu was murdered.
I can't get married now.
I understand,
Xiu was Nanny's daughter,
and Nanny was alawys good to you when you were little,
right?
When you got sick, she'd stay up all night watching over you.
I get it.
That child, Xiu, had a hard life.
But since she's gone,
we should comfort her father.
We'll cover the funeral expenses.
Would that be okay?
Siyun,
just focus on preparing for your wedding.
As for Xiu's case,
just leave it to Jinghan,
okay?
Hello?
Siyun,
my father would like to invite you to our home for dinner tonight.
Please prepare for it.
I'll have someone come pick you up later.
Shijun,
Xiu is dead.
I need to take care of her funeral
and the lawsuit.
I won't be able to make it to dinner.
Who is Xiu?
My nanny's daughter.
Alright,
then you should take care of Xiu's matter first.
Don't be too sad.
Take care of yourself and don't wear yourself out.
My condolences.
Thank you.
Was that my future brother-in-law on the phone?
Are you having dinner with him tonight?
You should eat, drink,
and enjoy your time.
Why don't you go by yourself?
Is this Dr. Lin Siyun's residence?
I'm Ling, a midwife from Zhongde Hospital.
The director asked me to inform you
that your job application has been approved.
You can come to the hospital next Monday to handle the paperwork.
Okay,
I understand.
Was that Shijun on the phone again?
Siyun, listen to me.
Would I ever harm you?
I'm your own brother.
Let me tell you.
Tonight, you...
Tonight,
you must go to have dinner with him.
If you offend him,
it'll affect the wedding.
Most importantly, it's about the Lin family's legacy.
Do you hear me?
Mom,
I want to postpone the wedding.
Why do you want to postpone it?
Xiu was murdered.
Yes, I'm also sad
that Xiu died.
But at the end of the day, wasn't she just an outsider?
Can't you tell what's more important?
If you keep messing around like this,
the Lin family will be ruined by you sooner or later!
Have you no shame?
Is it me ruining the family or you?
Siyun,
just listen to your brother.
Don't worry about Xiu's case for now.
Let Jinghan handle it,
okay?
All he wants is for the Qiao family to pay off his debts.
How can he be so despicable?
Since you put it that way,
then we need to have a real talk
in front of our mom.
You've had the finest food and drinks since childhood.
We never mistreated you, right?
That's because of the Lin family.
Sending you abroad
to study,
getting a foreign education,
having all that knowledge to show off...
that's also because of the Lin family.
People...
shouldn't forget where they came from.
You're right.
The reputation earned by the Lin family's ancestors
and the upbringing they gave me
mean I must repay them.
But I'm repaying the Lin family
and my parents.
Why should I have to pay off the debts you owe?
By the way,
I was sent abroad on a government scholarship.
I worked to support myself in Germany for 4 years
and didn't spend a cent of the family's money.
You've been in business for years.
Have you earned anything?
The Lin family served as officials for generations,
and remained wealthy for over a century.
Now creditors are coming to our door to collect debts.
Our reputation is damaged,
and we can't even keep our residence.
Whose fault is this, really?
Who squandered the Lin family's fortune?
Ao,
I'd like to report something to you.
Go ahead.
The day the Lin family's maid died,
Young Master didn't go to the theater.
That son of the Liu family
picked him up to go drinking.
And he took you along as well?
Yes, he did.
Then who drove his car?
I don't know.
Alright, I got it.
Ao,
this is a big deal.
Should we tell Master?
With Dalun's personality,
if he's determined to do this,
telling Master won't help.
That's true.
Dalun...
is hard to deal with.
So what should we do?
Don't worry. Let me think about it.
What do you want?
Do you have coffee here?
No.
Who would drink coffee this late at night?
About Zeng Dalun's case...
you're his defense lawyer, right?
The eldest daughter of the Lin family came to see me today.
She said she's going to publish a report
alleging that Dalun murdered her maid.
As you know,
our paper has the biggest circulation in Shanghai.
The Zeng family may be powerful,
but the victim was only a maid.
If this gets published,
it will cause such public outrage
and social pressure
that when you go to court,
hundreds of people will be outside, blocking the courthouse.
How could you possibly win that case?
It will influence the judge's decision.
So tell me, should I publish it or not?
You must not publish this.
Fine,
I won't.
But,
putting our past as classmates aside,
based on my experience,
this piece would sell extremely well.
If I don't publish this,
what am I supposed to tell
my editor-in-chief when he asks?
How about this?
Lu Yingchen,
I'll buy every last copy of whatever you publish
in tomorrow's paper.

[Interrogation Room 1]
Shang Yunfei and his fiancée Huang Yahui are missing.
They're suspected of embezzling
[Strict Law Enforcement]
more than 350,000 yuan.
We're currently looking for them.

You may go now.
Director.
I'm so sorry.
I never thought something like this would happen.
Go back to your dorm and rest for now.
I'll wash up, get changed
and head to the bureau later.
I'll see you there.
You should take a few days off to rest.
I... I don't need to rest.
This is a critical time for my promotion review.
I absolutely can't fall behind on work.
There's no need to rush back for work.
Just take a few days off.
Director,
what do you mean by that?
Given what happened to Huang Yahui,
the bureau is holding an emergency meeting right now.
I'm afraid that the situation doesn't look good for you.
You've been at the bureau for 3 years now.
Do you really think the bureau
will just let it go after Huang Yahui
made such a huge mess and ran off?
Ye,
your promotion is off the table,

Huang Yahui is the biggest embezzler

Goodbye.
Nice glasses.
They're yours now.
I bought them in the U.K.
You didn't bring me any gifts for my homecoming?
Let's go home.
[Exit]
There she is.
Auntie.
You're finally back.
Miss,
what's in these suitcases?
Why are they so heavy?
It's all medical equipment I brought back from Germany.
You two take one.
I'll carry this one myself.
The waves were too rough on the way back,
so it took a few extra days.
How are things with your grandpa?
My dad took care of everything.
How's the rest of the family?
They're fine.
Siyun.
Long time no see.
Indeed.
You've grown up,
and you're even more beautiful.
Do you remember this bike?
I used to take you out on it when you were little.
I specially rode it here just to pick you up.
Come on, I'll take you home.
I do remember.
But...
I have Yi and Xiu with me.
We can take a rickshaw back.
Thank you,
Shen Yiqun.
Let's go.
She's really grown up.
Dad.
I'm home.
Siyun,
have you contacted the Qiao family?
Not yet.
I'll go with you tomorrow to visit the Qiao family.
There's no need to rush.
How can you say that?
Your marriage arrangement with the Qiao family
has been postponed again and again because of your studies.
Now that Dad's gone,
what if the Qiao family changed their mind
and canceled the engagement?
What would we do then?
Jinghan,
Dad just passed away.
Is this really the right time to talk about this?
Alright,
you're right.
Madam,
there's a group of people in the yard.
Who are they?
I don't know.
They seem to be from the Zeng family.
Well,
I'll go check on your sister-in-law upstairs.
I'll go up and see how she's doing.
Mrs. Lin.
Madam,
I'm Mr. Zeng's lawyer,
Cheng Ao.
I'm here to see Lin Jinghan about something.
Why is everyone so quiet?
Who's actually in charge here?
Here's the thing.
Lin Jinghan owes Mr. Zeng money,
and it's been overdue for 6 months.
He mortgaged your house as collateral.
If he doesn't repay the debt,
we'll have to seize your property.
We didn't mean to disturb you today.
We just need to see Lin Jinghan.
How much does Lin Jinghan owe you?
Lin Jinghan isn't here.
He hasn't been around for a long time.
Search.
Have we...
met before?
I don't know you.
You're really beautiful.
Yi,
go upstairs and check on your mom.
Call me if she shows any symptoms.
Okay.
I'll come right up.
How much does Jinghan owe them?
Quite a lot, I think.
It must be a significant amount.
How much exactly?
A debt is a debt—we can just repay it.
Where would we get the money to pay it back?
During the years your father was ill,
everyone avoided us.
Now that your father is gone,
who would even pay attention to us?
Even the banks are snobs,
and they won't grant us a loan.
It hurts.
Xiu,
take my mom upstairs too.
Ao,
no sign of Lin Jinghan on the first floor.
Then search the second floor.
When you find Lin Jinghan, break one of his legs first.
Let's go.
It hurts.
Ao,
we couldn't find him.
This is my bedroom.
You can't go in!
My sister-in-law is inside.
She's about to give birth.
I'm sorry.
Lin Jinghan
must come with us.
Try going in if you dare!
Is she going to cut you?
It seems like it.
She wouldn't dare.
He won't hurt you either.
I know this man.
He always keeps his word and handles things professionally.
Here, give me this cleaver.
Be good.
That was scary.
She actually did it!
Do you want me to shoot a bullet through your dimple?
Are you crazy?
Why are you bullying a girl?
She cut me.
Didn't you bring that on yourself?
Auntie, my mom is in labor!
I'll give you 30 days.
Tell Lin Jinghan.
Get the money ready within 30 days.
This is the final deadline.
Let's go.
Boss says we're leaving.
Get lost!
Are you leaving or not?
Let's go!
I need a quick bandage.
Is it a boy or a girl?
Does it matter?
No, it doesn't.
Siyun,
with all this chaos at home today,
thank goodness you're here to help deliver the baby.
Great.
It's a boy.
Our Lin family finally has an heir.
He's so beautiful.
He looks just like your dad
when he was just born.
I think he looks more like my mom.
What's wrong with your eyes?
Sister-in-law.
Yi,
get your mother a glass of water.
Okay.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Where's Lin Jinghan?
I... I'm here.
Down here.
Here.
Siyun,
are they all gone?
How did you make them leave?
Tell me about it.
How did you get in there?
Mom,
Xiu and Yi,
they lifted the bedboard for me.
In that critical moment,
I crawled in here.
Why didn't you tell me you owed so much money?
Well, you just got back,
I needed time to tell you.
I just heard
that you're in charge of the family now.
Do you have a good plan to help me repay the debt?
You owe the money.
Yes, right.
I didn't mean anything else.
I know I owe the money.
But aren't you marrying into the Qiao family?
The Qiao family owns a huge bank.
Surely you can help me.
Please help me.
Tell me if you have any good ideas.
You owe the money,
so you pay it back yourself.
What's wrong with her?
Mom,
come here,
come here.
Help me lift
this bed board
so I can get out.
I'm suffocating down here.
Jinghan,
take a look at your son!
He looks so much like you.
I see him—he does look like me.
Lift the bed board
and get me out—I can barely breathe!
This child is really beautiful.
Yes, yes, he is.
But I'm stuck in here,
-and I can't even see him. -He looks just like you.
Hey, I just realized that
you've forgotten your own son since you got a grandson.
How could you do this to me?
I know I'm in debt, but you can't treat me like this!
Look at those eyes.
They're exactly like yours.
We came all this way for nothing today.
We didn't collect the debt.
How are you going to explain this to my dad when you get back?
It's fine.
I'll talk to him.
You're still so aggressive.
You always act recklessly,
doing whatever you want without thinking.
Since when do you hit women?
I've been different from others since I was a kid.
Do you know about a hormone
called adrenaline?
My adrenaline levels
are higher than average,
so I'm prone to high blood pressure.
Is high blood pressure contagious?
Your friend seems short-tempered too.
You're Jin, right?
How's your blood pressure?
It's normal.
That's good.
From now on, when we're out, speak when you should,
and keep quiet
when you shouldn't.
Jin,
make a toast to Ao.
Ao, here's to you.
Cheers, Cheng.
Get lost!
Say that again, I dare you.
Stop, stop.
I just got back.
How about this?
I'll dance for you guys.
Follow me.
Have some tea.
Shijun,
long time no see.
You've studied abroad too.
Do you approve of arranged marriages?
Do you think we could be happy
if we got married?
When I was in middle school, I promised Siyun
that I would make her
the happiest bride in Shanghai.
Everyone laughed at me back then,
but I meant it.
A big reason I went to study abroad later
was actually because of Siyun.
I thought we could go together
and look out for each other.
But I never expected
she would go to Germany while I went to America.
A girl alone in a foreign country
must have suffered much more than I did.
I don't approve of arranged marriages.
But Siyun,
could you give me, Qiao Shijun, a chance?
Let's get to know each other again.
Yes, of course.
Well said.
Marriage is a big deal, and it should be decided by parents.
Do you remember when you two were kids, building blocks
and holding hands?
Now that you've grown up,
you even have the same long eyes
and oval face.
Chin up.
Look at that tall nose bridge.
You two really look alike.
Isn't that what they call the couples' resemblance?
Uncle Qiao.
Couples who look alike
usually have beautiful children.
Whether the child looks like Siyun
or Shijun,
they're bound to be good-looking.
Did Mr. Qiao ask for your opinion?
Uncle Qiao,
I think we should
arrange their marriage
in the next day or two.
We should invite all the influential people
in Shanghai.
The next day or two?
Tomorrow it is, then.
Isn't that too rushed?
Shijun,
take some time
to spend with Siyun.
You haven't seen each other in years, right?
Yes.
Right, right.
Spend more time together.
Go see a movie,
have dinner and chat.
Get reacquainted
and enjoy some sweet moments.
Alright.
We won't take up any more of your time today.
Well... Shijun...
is quite tall.
Well, Mr. Qiao, Shijun,
take care.
I'll see you out.
Siyun,
what would you like to eat?
I'll cook for you myself today.
Just looking at you, I'm already full.
[Ju De Hall Restaurant]
Siyun.
I'm not late, am I?
No.
I've already ordered for you.
They're all your favorites.
How did you know these are my favorite dishes?
I wrote them down in a notebook when we were little.
You... you wrote them down?
I also remember
that before you went abroad, you said
you wanted to open a maternity hospital when you returned.
I can't believe you still remember that.
Of course I do.
And I think
opening a maternity hospital has great potential.
There's a real need for it here in our country.
It's a great choice.
Shijun,
thank you for supporting me.
Your business is my business.
How could I not support you?
Hurry and eat before the food gets cold.
Cold food is bad for your stomach.
[Light Theater]
Xiu,
how was the movie? Not bad, right?
It was good.
You liked it?
I'll take you to movies every day from now on.
You two can leave now.
Xiu,
I'll take you somewhere nice to eat.
I... I don't want to eat.
It's getting late.
I should head back.
Well, I mean,
it's just a quick bite. It won't take long.
Are you blind or something?
What did you say?
Xiu, are you scared of me?
We're from the same hometown.
I've liked you for years.
Can't you just give me a chance?
If you don't want to eat, we won't.
I'll take you home.
I... I can take a rickshaw back myself.
That won't do.
I'll take you back
the way I brought you here.
I promise,
I have no bad intentions.
Just trust me this once, okay?
Let's go.
Let's go get something to eat.
I only agreed to watch a movie with you,
not have dinner.
I don't care.
I'm hungry. Can't you just eat with me?
Is that too much to ask?
You promised
you'd take me home after the movie.
I'll ask you one more time.
Are you eating or not?
No.
Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go!
Stop the car!
Why couldn't you just let me kiss you and get it over with?
Now look at what happened.
You hit your head wide open.
Have a seat.
There're so many girls in Shanghai to have fun with.
Don't tell me you actually loved that maid.
I did have feelings for her,
but I never thought she'd actually die.
Alright.
Take it easy.
If the sky falls,
my dad will hold it up.
If it falls again, I'll hold it up.
I'll help you with this.
Don't you need to drive?
No. I don't have a car.
Whose car is it, then?
It's your car.
Young Master.
Hello?
Hello, Cheng Ao.
Who's this?
Guess who I am.
What is it?
That maid from the Lin family jumped out of my car,
hit her head on the curb,
and she's dead.
I need you to check it out for me.
Her body's at Zhongde Hospital.
Auntie...
Xiu is dead.
We'll never see her again.
Miss Lin,
I'm Zeng Dalun's lawyer.
I'm here to express
condolences to the victim's family.
If it's convenient for you now,
we can have a talk.
Any requests
or compensation,
you can discuss them with me.
I don't want any compensation.
Please tell Zeng Dalun
that he will pay
for what he's done.
[Memorial tablet of Lin Shuping]
Siyun,
you're back.
How did it go?
How was it?
Siyun,
has the wedding date been set?
What's wrong?
Did you have a fight with Mr. Qiao?
How many times have I told you?
Don't act like a spoiled young lady again.
How could you argue with Mr. Qiao?
Mr. Qiao's such a nice person.
He has such a calm temper.
It must be your fault, right?
Don't you guys care about Xiu at all?
Who?
Xiu?
I mean, didn't you report it
to the police station this morning?
Leave Xiu's case to the police.
Focus on what matters,
like planning your own wedding, okay?
Xiu was murdered.
I can't get married now.
I understand,
Xiu was Nanny's daughter,
and Nanny was alawys good to you when you were little,
right?
When you got sick, she'd stay up all night watching over you.
I get it.
That child, Xiu, had a hard life.
But since she's gone,
we should comfort her father.
We'll cover the funeral expenses.
Would that be okay?
Siyun,
just focus on preparing for your wedding.
As for Xiu's case,
just leave it to Jinghan,
okay?
Hello?
Siyun,
my father would like to invite you to our home for dinner tonight.
Please prepare for it.
I'll have someone come pick you up later.
Shijun,
Xiu is dead.
I need to take care of her funeral
and the lawsuit.
I won't be able to make it to dinner.
Who is Xiu?
My nanny's daughter.
Alright,
then you should take care of Xiu's matter first.
Don't be too sad.
Take care of yourself and don't wear yourself out.
My condolences.
Thank you.
Was that my future brother-in-law on the phone?
Are you having dinner with him tonight?
You should eat, drink,
and enjoy your time.
Why don't you go by yourself?
Is this Dr. Lin Siyun's residence?
I'm Ling, a midwife from Zhongde Hospital.
The director asked me to inform you
that your job application has been approved.
You can come to the hospital next Monday to handle the paperwork.
Okay,
I understand.
Was that Shijun on the phone again?
Siyun, listen to me.
Would I ever harm you?
I'm your own brother.
Let me tell you.
Tonight, you...
Tonight,
you must go to have dinner with him.
If you offend him,
it'll affect the wedding.
Most importantly, it's about the Lin family's legacy.
Do you hear me?
Mom,
I want to postpone the wedding.
Why do you want to postpone it?
Xiu was murdered.
Yes, I'm also sad
that Xiu died.
But at the end of the day, wasn't she just an outsider?
Can't you tell what's more important?
If you keep messing around like this,
the Lin family will be ruined by you sooner or later!
Have you no shame?
Is it me ruining the family or you?
Siyun,
just listen to your brother.
Don't worry about Xiu's case for now.
Let Jinghan handle it,
okay?
All he wants is for the Qiao family to pay off his debts.
How can he be so despicable?
Since you put it that way,
then we need to have a real talk
in front of our mom.
You've had the finest food and drinks since childhood.
We never mistreated you, right?
That's because of the Lin family.
Sending you abroad
to study,
getting a foreign education,
having all that knowledge to show off...
that's also because of the Lin family.
People...
shouldn't forget where they came from.
You're right.
The reputation earned by the Lin family's ancestors
and the upbringing they gave me
mean I must repay them.
But I'm repaying the Lin family
and my parents.
Why should I have to pay off the debts you owe?
By the way,
I was sent abroad on a government scholarship.
I worked to support myself in Germany for 4 years
and didn't spend a cent of the family's money.
You've been in business for years.
Have you earned anything?
The Lin family served as officials for generations,
and remained wealthy for over a century.
Now creditors are coming to our door to collect debts.
Our reputation is damaged,
and we can't even keep our residence.
Whose fault is this, really?
Who squandered the Lin family's fortune?
Ao,
I'd like to report something to you.
Go ahead.
The day the Lin family's maid died,
Young Master didn't go to the theater.
That son of the Liu family
picked him up to go drinking.
And he took you along as well?
Yes, he did.
Then who drove his car?
I don't know.
Alright, I got it.
Ao,
this is a big deal.
Should we tell Master?
With Dalun's personality,
if he's determined to do this,
telling Master won't help.
That's true.
Dalun...
is hard to deal with.
So what should we do?
Don't worry. Let me think about it.
What do you want?
Do you have coffee here?
No.
Who would drink coffee this late at night?
About Zeng Dalun's case...
you're his defense lawyer, right?
The eldest daughter of the Lin family came to see me today.
She said she's going to publish a report
alleging that Dalun murdered her maid.
As you know,
our paper has the biggest circulation in Shanghai.
The Zeng family may be powerful,
but the victim was only a maid.
If this gets published,
it will cause such public outrage
and social pressure
that when you go to court,
hundreds of people will be outside, blocking the courthouse.
How could you possibly win that case?
It will influence the judge's decision.
So tell me, should I publish it or not?
You must not publish this.
Fine,
I won't.
But,
putting our past as classmates aside,
based on my experience,
this piece would sell extremely well.
If I don't publish this,
what am I supposed to tell
my editor-in-chief when he asks?
How about this?
Lu Yingchen,
I'll buy every last copy of whatever you publish
in tomorrow's paper.
