00:00:00Let's celebrate together. Our radiant Ms. Chen, on her 30th birthday, has been promoted to Deputy General Manager.

00:00:06Cheers.

00:00:17Oh, you finally decided to answer. Seems like you've been too distracted out there.

00:00:23All these years, you've achieved nothing.

00:00:25You're over 30, still can't find a boyfriend. Your parents' dignity is completely ruined.

00:00:31Get to the point.

00:00:32How dare you speak to elders like this?

00:00:36I'm hanging up then.

00:00:37Come home immediately. New Year's approaching. I've arranged a blind date.

00:00:42When women reach this age, their value plummets. If I had a daughter, wouldn't bother helping you.

00:00:48Marry them yourself.

00:00:49How dare you? All your education went to waste. You will return and attend the date your mother agreed.

00:01:02Watch where you're going.

00:01:04My apologies. Avoiding someone. Didn't see you.

00:01:07Hiding?

00:01:07Ah. I get it.

00:01:13You're a club employee. Hiding from obsessive clients.

00:01:15You look panicked. Smell like alcohol.

00:01:18Maybe you've been drugged. Fine. I'll help.

00:01:20I'll turn into a monkey. Snatch bananas from pedestrians.

00:01:31Swing into the client's office while munching away.

00:01:33Spin 360 degrees and slap him hard.

00:01:36Then swing all the way to mount and never come back.

00:01:42This?

00:01:43Don't judge by her looks.

00:01:45She's actually highly capable.

00:01:46Our company's 60% revenue comes from her team.

00:01:49Today I'll channel my inner thunder and show those jerks what I can do.

00:01:54No matter how tough, I can handle it.

00:01:57She's not usually like this. Let me talk to her.

00:02:00No need. It's adorable.

00:02:06She's gone.

00:02:08Thanks.

00:02:09No problem.

00:02:12Nice body.

00:02:14Perfect looks, too.

00:02:15But since you chose this work, be prepared to make some sacrifices.

00:02:22What work?

00:02:23What? Just started?

00:02:25I've got a job.

00:02:27Pretend to be my boyfriend and come home with me.

00:02:29For the new year.

00:02:30500 a day.

00:02:31Deal?

00:02:32What?

00:02:33Too low?

00:02:34I picked you.

00:02:34Because you look elite and intimidating.

00:02:36That's why I chose you.

00:02:39800 a day.

00:02:41Take it?

00:02:41Or I'll find someone else.

00:02:42Fine. Deal.

00:02:45When do I start?

00:02:47No rush.

00:02:49Add my contact.

00:02:51I'll pick you up tomorrow.

00:02:58The 500 transferred is the deposit.

00:03:06It's just a blind date.

00:03:07Why avoid me?

00:03:08They've been pressuring me.

00:03:09So Chen Ji's offer came at the right time.

00:03:13Auntie, stop the blind dates.

00:03:15I have a girlfriend.

00:03:16Since when?

00:03:17Why didn't I know?

00:03:18Perfect.

00:03:19I'll tell your mom.

00:03:20You stayed single.

00:03:2130 years.

00:03:22She almost thought you were gay.

00:03:24No way.

00:03:24Actually, I've had a girlfriend, but kept it secret.

00:03:28Oh.

00:03:29What's this?

00:03:31This is allowance from my girlfriend.

00:03:35Auntie.

00:03:35As Shengzhuo Group's heir.

00:03:38Taking girlfriend's money.

00:03:39If this gets out, how embarrassing.

00:03:41Transfer 5,000,000 back to her immediately.

00:03:44For New Year, bring her to the family.

00:03:46No rush.

00:03:47I'll visit her place first.

00:03:51Oh, and quit your job.

00:03:52From now on, I'll cover your expenses.

00:03:54My nephew's girl said something.

00:03:57Auntie, she wants to be my sugar mama.

00:04:00You kids are so trendy now.

00:04:02Don't get it, but respect it.

00:04:04Everybody, proceed with work summaries in order, then report on.

00:04:18Whose phone is this?

00:04:20Are you insane?

00:04:21Don't you know Mr. Fu hates phone interruptions during meetings?

00:04:25I don't know.

00:04:26Mr. Fu was already furious.

00:04:28We're dead meat now.

00:04:29We're dead meat now.

00:04:29Hello?

00:04:37Took you long enough?

00:04:38Still half asleep?

00:04:39I'm awake.

00:04:40I'm coming to pick you up.

00:04:41Send me your location.

00:04:42Not convenient right now.

00:04:44Just send me the address.

00:04:45I'll come after finishing work.

00:04:51Fine.

00:04:52Sent.

00:04:52Hey, you're not running off with the money?

00:04:55Absolutely not.

00:05:03Mr. Huang, your branch office is near Yuan Town, right?

00:05:07I need you to help send some New Year gifts to my nephew's wife.

00:05:12Sure.

00:05:13Ms. Shen, please send me the address.

00:05:14I'll handle it immediately.

00:05:16Auntie, don't be like this.

00:05:18If you won't let me meet her, at least allow me as family elder to show some care, unless

00:05:25she's just someone you made up?

00:05:30Of course not.

00:05:33This way of speaking seems suspicious.

00:05:35Is he going to stand me up?

00:05:37Whatever.

00:05:38If I'm really being scammed, consider it a life lesson.

00:05:42At least his face is worth the money.

00:05:44All the migrant workers have returned home, except Chen Jia.

00:05:55Too ashamed to return without a husband.

00:05:58Hey, you introduced her to so many good men.

00:06:02Why didn't she like any of them?

00:06:04Oh.

00:06:04In my opinion, women shouldn't be so picky.

00:06:08Find someone decent and settle down.

00:06:11Right?

00:06:12Not to be harsh.

00:06:13Those men I found were perfect catches, by any standard.

00:06:17She doesn't like them.

00:06:20She should look in a mirror with her mediocre status.

00:06:23They only agreed, out of respect for me.

00:06:26Otherwise, who would want to meet her?

00:06:31Whose car is this?

00:06:32Parked at our gate.

00:06:34What bad luck.

00:06:35I'll chase her away.

00:06:36Stop.

00:06:37See the emblem?

00:06:38This isn't a regular person's car.

00:06:40Heavyweights are coming.

00:06:41Oh my god.

00:06:42A big shot is visiting our town.

00:06:51Must be a tycoon.

00:06:52If I could connect with them.

00:07:02Happy New Year.

00:07:03Oh my.

00:07:05Jah-jah.

00:07:06Haven't seen you in years.

00:07:07You've grown even more beautiful.

00:07:09What?

00:07:10Dressing so provocatively.

00:07:12Making a scene.

00:07:14A woman should dress modestly and elegantly to attract men properly.

00:07:19Get inside now and change your clothes.

00:07:21Oh.

00:07:22So you mistakes tackiness for virtue, huh?

00:07:25You're the epitome of virtue, then.

00:07:27All your education was wasted.

00:07:29How dare you speak to elders?

00:07:30I didn't mean it.

00:07:31I meant auntie here.

00:07:32Makes uncle feel so secure.

00:07:35Utterly disrespectful.

00:07:37No wonder you're over 30 and still unmarried.

00:07:39Every words are about men.

00:07:41What?

00:07:41Will man watch advertisement to revive you after you die?

00:07:45Enough.

00:07:46Jah-jah.

00:07:47We're family.

00:07:48Stop being difficult.

00:07:49Your aunt means well.

00:07:51In fact, before you returned, she arranged several eligible bachelors for you.

00:07:57Fine.

00:07:57Let's hear them.

00:07:59First, work in government.

00:08:01Make money in government.

00:08:02Ah.

00:08:02Have been in prison.

00:08:03Second, looks reliable and simple.

00:08:05Got it.

00:08:06Balding and dull.

00:08:07Third, a rich guy.

00:08:08He has houses and cars.

00:08:10Just overly flirtatious with woman.

00:08:12You even have connections?

00:08:14With perverts?

00:08:14Impressive social.

00:08:16You think you're still young?

00:08:18Enough with the pickiness?

00:08:19At your age?

00:08:20From a broken home?

00:08:21You'll be the one getting picked.

00:08:23You might not even get a mat if you paid.

00:08:27I don't need a man.

00:08:28But does your son have any takers yet?

00:08:32How dare you?

00:08:33Are you crazy?

00:08:34I have a girlfriend, you know.

00:08:35Say that again.

00:08:36And I'll slap you silly.

00:08:37Not your mom.

00:08:38Making stuff up, are we?

00:08:39I rarely come back.

00:08:40So if you don't bother me, we'll be fine.

00:08:43Otherwise, let's see.

00:08:44Whose gossip spreads faster?

00:08:46Or whose is more ridiculous?

00:08:48You think I want to care about your messes?

00:08:50After all these years, you still can't find a boyfriend.

00:08:54I bet there's something wrong with you.

00:08:55If your mom hadn't begged me, I wouldn't bother setting you up.

00:08:59Yeah, your aunt is just trying to help you, coming back for the new year.

00:09:04You're so abrasive.

00:09:05It's impolite.

00:09:06You're still not married.

00:09:07What will you do when you're old?

00:09:09We've been there, done that.

00:09:11We're not trying to hurt you.

00:09:12Then tell me, madam.

00:09:13What are the benefits of getting married?

00:09:15Marriage has many benefits, of course.

00:09:17Marriage is good because...

00:09:19Well...

00:09:20It's just that...

00:09:22Marriage...

00:09:24Marriage is good.

00:09:25Marriage...

00:09:25There are so many good things about it.

00:09:27Well, it's just that...

00:09:28Marriage really does have a lot of perks.

00:09:30It's just...

00:09:31Stop with the nonsense.

00:09:32Go on a blind date right now.

00:09:34Your mom said,

00:09:35If you don't find a boyfriend, don't bother coming home.

00:09:38Go.

00:09:38Hey.

00:09:39Who says I don't have a boyfriend?

00:09:41I sent the location a while ago.

00:09:43Is this guy going to ditch me?

00:09:45Oh.

00:09:45Hey.

00:09:46Where is he, huh?

00:09:48Where is he?

00:09:49Where is he?

00:09:49He's running late.

00:09:50He'll be here later.

00:09:52Oh dear.

00:09:54Gia Gia.

00:09:55Oh dear.

00:09:56You're not married.

00:09:57A young woman.

00:09:58Wearing such expensive jewelry.

00:09:59For what?

00:10:01If you get married, won't it benefit outsiders?

00:10:04Your cousin's getting married.

00:10:06Take it off now.

00:10:06Give it to me.

00:10:07It'll save me from buying jewelry.

00:10:10Hey.

00:10:11And this car.

00:10:11You're a woman.

00:10:12What do you know about cars?

00:10:13Just need it to get around.

00:10:15Something this nice would be wasted on you.

00:10:17I'll trade you.

00:10:19The bracelet and chain.

00:10:21Based on today's gold prices,

00:10:22just give me 80,000.

00:10:24Also.

00:10:25I'll trade you my car for your junker.

00:10:28Even gold miners can't dig you out.

00:10:29You've got nerve.

00:10:30Asking us for money.

00:10:31Huh?

00:10:32The Chen family raised you.

00:10:33Your money is the Chen family's money.

00:10:36Your brother can continue the Chen line.

00:10:37The family's blood.

00:10:39He deserves to inherit the Chen family fortune.

00:10:41You're a woman.

00:10:42Once you're gone, it'll all be his.

00:10:45Don't worry, Auntie.

00:10:46You and your son will be gone before I am.

00:10:50Saying things like that during New Year,

00:10:52you're saying such harsh things.

00:10:54Dying.

00:10:55That's too awful.

00:10:57You say I'm harsh.

00:10:58Why don't you say their actions are ugly?

00:11:01My actions are ugly?

00:11:01I wasn't saying it just now.

00:11:03To save face.

00:11:04You're a stinky worker.

00:11:05How could you afford 80,000 bracelet and chain?

00:11:09Who knows where you got that dirty money?

00:11:12I bet she's someone's mistress on the side.

00:11:15That's why she can't bring a man home.

00:11:17You.

00:11:18I heard the dog barking from afar.

00:11:26Oh, it's you.

00:11:27Who are you?

00:11:28Let me introduce myself.

00:11:30I'm Jia Jia's boyfriend.

00:11:34Oh my.

00:11:35What a handsome young man.

00:11:37That car of yours looks fancier than Jia Jia's.

00:11:40Rich and handsome, huh?

00:11:42Jia Jia, you're so lucky.

00:11:44Come here, quick.

00:11:45Jia Jia's boyfriend is here.

00:11:47Hurry up.

00:11:48Oh, what did you say?

00:11:50Earlier, I was busy in the kitchen.

00:11:51Didn't hear anything.

00:11:53Your daughter brought her boyfriend home.

00:11:55Nice to meet you.

00:11:56I'm Fu Jia Yan.

00:11:57Just call me Jia Yan.

00:11:58Oh my.

00:11:59Sweetheart.

00:12:00Having a boyfriend?

00:12:01Why didn't you tell me?

00:12:03Time to show your professional skills.

00:12:05You can do this.

00:12:07Jia Yan, what do you do for a living?

00:12:09Uh.

00:12:10He's just a regular office worker.

00:12:11Well, yes.

00:12:12If my mom finds out, he's a host I hired from the club.

00:12:18She'll break my legs.

00:12:19Which company?

00:12:20Just a small firm.

00:12:22Pft.

00:12:23With that grand entrance, I thought you were some big shot.

00:12:27Turns out you're just a nobody.

00:12:29Hey, that car.

00:12:30Did you rent it to look rich?

00:12:32Birds of a feather flock together.

00:12:35Two penniless losers.

00:12:37Unlike Chen Chiang, who's now a department manager at Leland Company.

00:12:42That's Shengzhuo Group's subsidiary.

00:12:44Oh, it doesn't matter.

00:12:45Money isn't important.

00:12:47As long as she is happy.

00:12:51At least he's thoughtful.

00:12:53Knows to bring gifts when visiting.

00:12:55Unlike Jia Jia, who came empty-handed.

00:12:59Hey, wait.

00:13:00What's that supposed to mean?

00:13:01These are for Jia Jia's family.

00:13:03You don't deserve them.

00:13:04What did you say?

00:13:05It's nothing.

00:13:06Mom, a office worker.

00:13:08A general staff.

00:13:09What decent gifts could they afford?

00:13:11Those rags he's carrying.

00:13:12Even if they offered them to us, we wouldn't want them.

00:13:15This bracelet was purchased at auction.

00:13:17Now it's practically priceless.

00:13:19Plus these VIP cards.

00:13:21All for you.

00:13:23Oh my, how generous.

00:13:25Now this is a golden bachelor.

00:13:27Such extravagant gestures.

00:13:29No wonder Jia Jia turned down.

00:13:32All those matches are arranged.

00:13:34Which company's VIP card?

00:13:36Shengzhuo Group.

00:13:38Shengzhuo Group's VIP card.

00:13:40Over 10 million annual spending.

00:13:44Just gets you their silver card.

00:13:46Silver card.

00:13:47I've worked at Shengzhuo Group branch.

00:13:49For years.

00:13:50Gold members.

00:13:51I've only seen twice.

00:13:52You said VIP card.

00:13:54Aren't you afraid of getting caught lying?

00:13:57Shengzhuo.

00:13:58You've been picky.

00:13:59Wasting time.

00:14:00Searching everywhere.

00:14:02Only to bring home.

00:14:03A con artist.

00:14:03These are all genuine.

00:14:08This man went all out.

00:14:09Renting cars.

00:14:10Buying New Year gifts.

00:14:12You call these fakes without proof?

00:14:14My son is a department manager at Shengzhuo Group branch.

00:14:19He deals with clients who in high society who can spot fakes instantly.

00:14:22Chen Qiang's two years at Shengzhuo Group branch gave him real expertise.

00:14:27If he says they're fake, they're fake.

00:14:30First time bringing gifts.

00:14:31And you bring?

00:14:32Counterfeits.

00:14:33Jia Jia's mom.

00:14:34This guy doesn't respect you at all.

00:14:37Sister, I told you.

00:14:38Letting a girl roam free leads to trouble.

00:14:41See how she's turned out?

00:14:43Even scams her own mother now.

00:14:45Hm.

00:14:46Whatever.

00:14:47We're family.

00:14:47I'll reluctantly accept these.

00:14:49Hey.

00:14:50Wait.

00:14:52Years of mooching off us.

00:14:53Wasn't enough?

00:14:54Put those down.

00:14:56Fake garbage.

00:14:57Nobody wants them.

00:15:01Hey, don't ruin things.

00:15:05You're the only one who likes this junk.

00:15:07Well, I guess.

00:15:09Not everyone has your taste.

00:15:11Chen Qiang.

00:15:11He's so successful.

00:15:13Sister, you haven't seen anything good?

00:15:15That's normal.

00:15:16This bracelet is worth 20 million.

00:15:18Cash or card.

00:15:1920 million?

00:15:20Are you crazy?

00:15:21How dare you blame me?

00:15:23I'll smash all your fake stuff.

00:15:25Smash it to pieces.

00:15:26What can you do to me?

00:15:32Oh, my.

00:15:33Good heavens.

00:15:35Open your eyes.

00:15:36This heartless wretch.

00:15:38Came back with a con artist boyfriend.

00:15:40Buy fake goods.

00:15:41Even giving gifts is one thing.

00:15:43But extorting money from me.

00:15:45It's truly outrageous.

00:15:46Chen Jia, apologize to my mom now.

00:15:51Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude.

00:15:56Li Zhu, look at the daughter you raised.

00:15:59Such a great daughter.

00:16:01Coming back and turning the house upside down.

00:16:03To her own aunt.

00:16:05Being rude is one thing.

00:16:06But she even found a boyfriend.

00:16:08To extort 20 million from me.

00:16:10You...

00:16:10Are you even human?

00:16:14Stop acting crazy here.

00:16:17Real or fake?

00:16:18How much compensation?

00:16:19Go tell the enforcement team.

00:16:21What do you mean?

00:16:21I'm your aunt.

00:16:22You want to send me to the enforcement team?

00:16:24If you weren't my aunt,

00:16:25I'd call the crematorium.

00:16:27You bitch.

00:16:29Trying to scam people with fakes.

00:16:30And wanting to arrest my mom.

00:16:32I'll beat you to death.

00:16:34Hey.

00:16:34Uh.

00:16:35Son.

00:16:36Is anyone here?

00:16:36I'm Huang Jianhua from Li Lin Company.

00:16:39Here for a special visit.

00:16:43Huang Jianhua.

00:16:45Auntie's contact is here.

00:16:46Huang Jianhua.

00:16:48Isn't that Mr. Huang from Li Lin Company?

00:16:51Why is he here?

00:16:52Oh, son.

00:16:53During the new year,

00:16:54Mr. Huang came in person.

00:16:55He's here to see you.

00:16:56What a great honor.

00:16:57Looks like you'll get a promotion.

00:17:01You just wait and see.

00:17:03These fake goods of yours.

00:17:05Mr. Huang just needs one look

00:17:06and he'll know what they're worth.

00:17:08Then,

00:17:09the enforcement team will arrest

00:17:10you two scammers.

00:17:12Hmm.

00:17:13You poor folks.

00:17:14Wanting to scam me?

00:17:15Get ready to go to jail.

00:17:17Oh, Mr. Huang.

00:17:18You really didn't need to come.

00:17:19No need for gifts.

00:17:20For...

00:17:21Ms. Chen,

00:17:23heard about your promotion.

00:17:24With new year coming,

00:17:25I took the liberty to visit

00:17:27with a humble congratulatory gift.

00:17:29Please accept it.

00:17:32Ms. Chen.

00:17:35Mr. Huang,

00:17:36you've mistaken her identity.

00:17:37She's just some nobody.

00:17:39And you are?

00:17:41Mr. Huang,

00:17:42I'm from procurement department.

00:17:44Group 2's Chen Chiang.

00:17:45What?

00:17:48But aren't you already

00:17:48a department manager?

00:17:50If you stay quiet,

00:17:52nobody thinks you're mute.

00:17:53Since when does procurement

00:17:55have so many subgroups,

00:17:56so complicated?

00:17:57You've said enough.

00:17:58You're absolutely right.

00:18:00We'll streamline

00:18:00after the holidays.

00:18:01Ms. Chen,

00:18:02are these your relatives?

00:18:03Hardly know them.

00:18:05They accused my gift

00:18:06of being counterfeit.

00:18:07Tried to extort us.

00:18:08What?

00:18:09He brought flea market junk,

00:18:11passed off as auction items.

00:18:13Not content with that,

00:18:14he had the audacity

00:18:15to present

00:18:15Chen Zhuo Group's VIP card.

00:18:18Can't even lie convincingly.

00:18:20What?

00:18:21Where's that card?

00:18:22Don't worry,

00:18:22Mr. Huang.

00:18:23I destroyed it.

00:18:24But he is an idiot.

00:18:26Daring to impersonate.

00:18:28Oh.

00:18:29You're the fool.

00:18:30Wasting precious resources.

00:18:31Do you know who he is?

00:18:32He's...

00:18:33I'm Ms. Chen's boyfriend.

00:18:34Sorry, babe.

00:18:37Didn't expect someone

00:18:37to be so clueless.

00:18:39Ruining your kind gesture.

00:18:42Ms. Chen is our top client.

00:18:43Cross her,

00:18:44and you're fired.

00:18:45Please.

00:18:46Mr. Huang,

00:18:47I beg for another

00:18:48n'kha chance.

00:18:49Gosh, cousin.

00:18:50You know, Mr. Huang,

00:18:51help me smooth things over.

00:18:53Fine.

00:18:54But since you broke my things,

00:18:55need a debt note?

00:18:57Blackmailing me?

00:18:58No debt note.

00:18:59Kiss your job goodbye

00:19:00and jail time.

00:19:01Your choice.

00:19:04Miss Chen,

00:19:20I'll take my leave.

00:19:21Let's hope for future cooperation.

00:19:25Mr. Huang.

00:19:28Chen Jia.

00:19:29We're family.

00:19:30Must you be so harsh?

00:19:33Completely necessary.

00:19:34Cross me again,

00:19:35and I'll take that debt note

00:19:36straight to court.

00:19:38Then watch,

00:19:38your career and girlfriend

00:19:40all gone.

00:19:42Let's go.

00:19:45What just happened?

00:19:47Why all the noise?

00:19:48Ah,

00:19:49this is...

00:19:51Grandpa.

00:19:52My boyfriend,

00:19:53Fujian.

00:19:54Nice to meet you, Grandpa.

00:19:55Jia Jia,

00:19:56you brought your boyfriend home.

00:19:57Come here.

00:19:58Let me take a good look.

00:19:59Hmm,

00:20:02not bad.

00:20:04Handsome face.

00:20:05Good body.

00:20:06Looks good,

00:20:07but useless.

00:20:08No matter how good looking,

00:20:09money matters more than looks.

00:20:11Always so sarcastic.

00:20:13Shame on you as an elder.

00:20:17It's okay if you don't have money.

00:20:19I've already prepared a generous dowry

00:20:21for Jia Jia long ago.

00:20:23As long as you two

00:20:24are truly committed,

00:20:26life will get

00:20:27better and better.

00:20:30All right,

00:20:30you've traveled all day.

00:20:31Must be tired.

00:20:33You,

00:20:34take them to unpack.

00:20:35Get some rest early.

00:20:37Hmm.

00:20:39Let's go.

00:20:44We don't have many spare rooms.

00:20:47You two can share this room.

00:20:49What?

00:20:50Young couples sharing rooms

00:20:51is normal here.

00:20:52When your cousin brought his girl,

00:20:53they stayed together too.

00:20:55But,

00:20:55never mind.

00:20:56It's just a few nights.

00:20:58Refusing might look suspicious.

00:21:00Fine.

00:21:02Okay.

00:21:07Their reactions

00:21:08are so strange.

00:21:14What are you waiting for?

00:21:15Hurry and set up

00:21:16a floor bed for yourself.

00:21:17I'll

00:21:18sleep here tonight.

00:21:19Or should your sugar mama

00:21:20sleep on the floor?

00:21:21Where's your professional ethics?

00:21:23I'll add

00:21:24200 more

00:21:25per day.

00:21:27Also,

00:21:28the car rental

00:21:28and gifts

00:21:29you paid for earlier.

00:21:30I'll reimburse you.

00:21:31No need.

00:21:34Why not?

00:21:34I know.

00:21:35People in your line of work

00:21:36have it pretty tough

00:21:37since I'm doing this.

00:21:38Shh.

00:21:39Someone's outside.

00:21:42Let me show you right now

00:21:43what professionalism

00:21:44looks like in my field.

00:21:46Wait.

00:21:46What are you doing?

00:21:47Relax.

00:21:48Relax.

00:21:48They're gone.

00:22:01Get up.

00:22:03If you keep this up,

00:22:04I'll cut your pay.

00:22:06I just made a breakthrough

00:22:06and resolved a crisis.

00:22:08Now you're pulling the rug

00:22:08out from under me?

00:22:09Keep talking about money

00:22:10and we'll get caught eventually.

00:22:12Don't let it happen again.

00:22:13Something's off.

00:22:22What's that supposed to mean?

00:22:27This feels strange,

00:22:28I overheard Chenjia saying.

00:22:30She'll make that guy

00:22:31sleep on the floor

00:22:32and expense today's costs.

00:22:37Expense?

00:22:38What's going on here?

00:22:39Do you think it's possible

00:22:40that they aren't actually a couple?

00:22:43This makes no sense.

00:22:44A guy shows up

00:22:45definitely suspicious.

00:22:47If they're really

00:22:48faking their relationship,

00:22:49this could get interesting.

00:22:51The old man hates

00:22:52being lied to.

00:22:52I'll go tell him

00:22:53the truth right now.

00:22:55Let's ruin Chenjia's dowry.

00:22:57Hold on.

00:22:58The old man always favors.

00:22:59Chenjia is a money pit.

00:23:01We need solid evidence

00:23:02to make our case.

00:23:04At the family reunion dinner,

00:23:06in front of everyone,

00:23:07we'll expose this whole scheme.

00:23:11Brilliant plan.

00:23:13After exposing her,

00:23:14we'll pressure her into

00:23:15arranged date.

00:23:16She won't be able to refuse.

00:23:19This whole thing infuriates me.

00:23:21I already promised Mrs. Gua

00:23:23that Chenjia would marry

00:23:24her son Chun

00:23:25as soon as she returned.

00:23:27The bride price would be ours.

00:23:29Who knew this little schemer

00:23:30would bring home

00:23:31thus some fake boyfriend?

00:23:33Patience.

00:23:33Once we prove

00:23:34they're not a real couple,

00:23:35both the bride price

00:23:36and dowry

00:23:37will be mine for the taking.

00:23:39Gia Jha,

00:23:44your aunt,

00:23:45want to play Mahjong.

00:23:46Now your grandpa's

00:23:47Mahjong craving

00:23:47is acting up again.

00:23:49You and Fu,

00:23:49go keep grandpa company

00:23:51for a few rounds.

00:23:52Mmm, okay.

00:23:53Got it.

00:23:53All right then.

00:23:54We'll be there soon.

00:23:56My dad passed away early,

00:23:57so grandpa's always doted on me.

00:23:59You absolutely can't.

00:24:00Slip up in front of him.

00:24:01But I don't know Mahjong.

00:24:02Don't worry.

00:24:03I'll cover you.

00:24:07Grandpa?

00:24:08Come on.

00:24:09Let's start.

00:24:11Chen Chiang

00:24:11went to pick up

00:24:12his girlfriend.

00:24:13We'll play a few rounds first.

00:24:23How long have you two

00:24:24known each other?

00:24:25Half a year.

00:24:26A year?

00:24:27Huh.

00:24:29Half a year?

00:24:30A year.

00:24:31A year.

00:24:33Where did you two meet?

00:24:38At work.

00:24:39At karaoke bar.

00:24:44Oh, after a company event,

00:24:45we met in a karaoke bar.

00:24:47That's how we met.

00:24:48Hmm, can't even answer.

00:24:49Simple questions, right?

00:24:51Something's fishy here.

00:24:52Avoid those shady places.

00:24:54Your aunt says they're dangerous.

00:24:56You need to protect yourself.

00:24:58Right.

00:24:59Don't worry, grandpa.

00:25:00I'll protect Gia Gia.

00:25:01New bamboo.

00:25:05Mahjong.

00:25:09You should protect

00:25:10my wallet first.

00:25:13Fu's losing badly today.

00:25:15By the way,

00:25:16what's your job?

00:25:17Just a regular office work.

00:25:19Really?

00:25:20Of course.

00:25:21A pretty boy.

00:25:22What else can you amount to?

00:25:24His whole year's pay

00:25:24doesn't match

00:25:25Chen Chiang's

00:25:26monthly salary.

00:25:28Then why?

00:25:28Take Fu's money.

00:25:29Dad, you.

00:25:30Fu, take this.

00:25:32You two will need this

00:25:34for your future together.

00:25:35Hey, you.

00:25:36Hurry up and thank auntie.

00:25:37Thanks, auntie.

00:25:38I'm a bit tired.

00:25:40I'm going upstairs to rest.

00:25:41Oh, honey,

00:25:42let me explain.

00:25:43It's not that I won't buy it.

00:25:45Gold prices are just too high.

00:25:47Buying now would be wasteful.

00:25:49Wasteful?

00:25:49You think buying me gifts

00:25:51is a waste?

00:25:51That's not what I meant.

00:25:54We'll buy it, of course.

00:25:56But where's the money?

00:25:59Have Chen Chiang

00:26:00take that man out shopping,

00:26:01make her pay,

00:26:02and find out

00:26:03about their relationship.

00:26:04Mom,

00:26:05you're so clever.

00:26:09Yan Yan's first visit here.

00:26:12You youngsters

00:26:12should have common interests.

00:26:14Jar Jar,

00:26:15as the older cousin,

00:26:16take them around.

00:26:17And to get

00:26:18New Year supplies?

00:26:19Hmm.

00:26:22And this is...

00:26:24My cousin's boyfriend.

00:26:26The one you mentioned,

00:26:28over 30,

00:26:28that no man wants?

00:26:31Hi,

00:26:32I'm Liu Yan Yan.

00:26:33Sorry,

00:26:33I can't stand

00:26:34fake innocent girls.

00:26:36What's that supposed to mean?

00:26:38Don't be mad, Yan Yan.

00:26:39He's just a worker.

00:26:40Keep talking nonsense,

00:26:42and I'll punch you.

00:26:43Fuck.

00:26:44So he's a loser.

00:26:45With your tolerance,

00:26:46you'll succeed at anything.

00:26:47Enough.

00:26:48Let's focus on shopping.

00:26:50Let's go to the market.

00:26:51We'll get Grandpa's gift, too.

00:26:52Hmm.

00:26:54Go catch up with them.

00:26:55Get more good stuff.

00:26:57Hurry up.

00:27:02Why does this guy look like

00:27:03he's never seen a market before?

00:27:07Jia Jia,

00:27:08where's your boyfriend from?

00:27:09Why does he seem so new

00:27:10to this kind of market?

00:27:12I'm local.

00:27:13I asked Jia Jia,

00:27:14why are you answering?

00:27:15What do his parents

00:27:17do for a living?

00:27:19None of your business.

00:27:20You're my cousin.

00:27:21I have to look out for you.

00:27:23You're from the countryside.

00:27:25They might look down on you.

00:27:26They love her.

00:27:27Stay out of it.

00:27:29Oh,

00:27:29so that means

00:27:30you've met his parents.

00:27:32Then you must know

00:27:33what they do,

00:27:34right?

00:27:35Chen Chang is pushing hard.

00:27:37Did he notice?

00:27:38Something off.

00:27:38Nothing more to say.

00:27:39Three generations back,

00:27:41everyone was farmers.

00:27:41Classy people don't

00:27:43care about that

00:27:43kind of stuff.

00:27:44Pfft.

00:27:45Who are you insulting?

00:27:46Throwing shade at me.

00:27:48Yan Yan,

00:27:49don't take it.

00:27:50They weren't talking

00:27:51about your parents.

00:27:54First time seeing someone

00:27:55jump to defend themselves?

00:27:57What's that?

00:27:58Hey, Yan Yan.

00:28:02Annoying guy's finally gone.

00:28:04All right,

00:28:04let's finish shopping.

00:28:05We still need to

00:28:06clean the house.

00:28:07Yes, sir.

00:28:08I'll get the groceries.

00:28:09You buy dried goods,

00:28:10meet back here later.

00:28:12Got it.

00:28:12Hmm?

00:28:20The boss heard that I

00:28:21was buying New Year goods

00:28:23for the first time.

00:28:23He was super enthusiastic,

00:28:25recommending all kinds

00:28:26of flavored sunflower seeds.

00:28:28Original flavor,

00:28:29five spice,

00:28:30preserved plum,

00:28:31and creamy flavors.

00:28:32All together,

00:28:33over 50 pounds of them.

00:28:3450 pounds?

00:28:35You'll make my relatives

00:28:36crack all their teeth.

00:28:38What kind of

00:28:38spoiled rich kid?

00:28:39Are you?

00:28:40You shop like,

00:28:41there's no tomorrow.

00:28:41I grew up poor,

00:28:42so now I have

00:28:43compulsive spending habits.

00:28:46Never mind.

00:28:47Just come shopping with me.

00:28:48Auntie says,

00:28:49shopping shows

00:28:50masculine charm best.

00:28:51I need to

00:28:52make a good impression.

00:28:53I have to watch him,

00:28:54or he'll buy out.

00:30:27Hurry up and pay.

00:30:28Who are you ordering around?

00:30:30Me.

00:30:31You're my cousin.

00:30:32Who else should pay?

00:30:34And you still claim

00:30:35I'm just your cousin.

00:30:36I thought my forehead was stamped.

00:30:37Walking sucker.

00:30:38These words.

00:30:39Your girlfriend wants gold bracelets.

00:30:41Why should I pay?

00:30:42We're family.

00:30:43How can you say that?

00:30:45That's so selfish.

00:30:47If you hadn't refused last time

00:30:49to give her your bracelet,

00:30:50would we need two now?

00:30:52I'm marrying into your

00:30:53ten family soon.

00:30:54As the older cousin,

00:30:55by every measure,

00:30:56you should give me

00:30:57a welcome gift.

00:30:58First time I've heard

00:30:59someone spin freeloading

00:31:01as poetic virtue.

00:31:03You pauper,

00:31:04watch your tone.

00:31:05Watch how you talk

00:31:06to the man I'm marrying.

00:31:08You and Chen Chang

00:31:09deserve each other.

00:31:10Both shameless.

00:31:11Don't push your luck.

00:31:12Your Chen family

00:31:13only has one male heir.

00:31:15After I marry in,

00:31:17you'll need my permission

00:31:18to visit your parents.

00:31:20Don't make this hard.

00:31:21This is what you like.

00:31:27Yeah.

00:31:28Mr. Fu,

00:31:29you're buying this for her.

00:31:31What's more expensive than this?

00:31:32Show me.

00:31:33Wrap them all up.

00:31:35This,

00:31:35this is way too extravagant.

00:31:37Thanks, Mr. Fu.

00:31:38I love all of them.

00:31:39Take your time to admire them.

00:31:42Babe,

00:31:43all these are for you.

00:31:44Do you like them?

00:31:46Your revenge shopping habit

00:31:48is acting up again, huh?

00:31:49If you pull this stunt again,

00:31:50I won't bail you out.

00:31:51Shouldn't have made up

00:31:52that excuse.

00:31:52Totally shot myself in the foot.

00:31:54Never back down without a fight.

00:31:55Don't worry.

00:31:56I'll cover the extra expenses.

00:31:58This man talks big.

00:31:59What's your problem, Mr. Fu?

00:32:01Just buying gifts

00:32:01for my girlfriend.

00:32:02Can't afford it.

00:32:04So you're mooching.

00:32:05Chen Chang,

00:32:06you're supposed to be

00:32:06a department manager.

00:32:08Can't even compete

00:32:09with a broke wage slave.

00:32:11Buy it for me.

00:32:12Yun Yun,

00:32:12these two combined cost

00:32:14over $50,000.

00:32:15Sir,

00:32:16if it's too pricey,

00:32:17we have cheaper options.

00:32:19You-

00:32:20You're getting married,

00:32:21yet you're too cheap

00:32:23to buy her jewelry.

00:32:25I'm not even part of

00:32:26your family yet,

00:32:27and you're already stingy.

00:32:28Listen up.

00:32:29No purchase today.

00:32:30No me in your house.

00:32:31This-

00:32:31I don't care

00:32:33what others think,

00:32:34but if my girl wants

00:32:35something,

00:32:36I'll tighten my belt

00:32:37to get it for her.

00:32:39Babe,

00:32:39pick anything else you want.

00:32:41Don't hold back.

00:32:42I'm not like those

00:32:43scheming broke guys.

00:32:44Chen Chang,

00:32:46buy this now,

00:32:47or we're done.

00:32:48Wait.

00:32:49Don't-

00:32:50I'll-

00:32:50I'll buy it,

00:32:51okay.

00:32:52That's more like it.

00:32:53Gifts for your girl

00:32:54should come from you.

00:32:56That's what matters.

00:32:56You'll regret this.

00:33:08Oh.

00:33:10Oh,

00:33:10new bracelet

00:33:11looks so pretty.

00:33:14Nice, right?

00:33:15Mm-hmm.

00:33:1550,000?

00:33:17Really?

00:33:17Your son paid for it.

00:33:22What's going on?

00:33:23Ugh,

00:33:24don't ask.

00:33:25Yan Yan insisted

00:33:26on buying gold.

00:33:27Those two were too shrewd.

00:33:29Not only did we fail

00:33:29to get a good deal,

00:33:30but also learned

00:33:31nothing from them.

00:33:32But I just bought this.

00:33:34Chen Jia is allergic

00:33:35to mangoes, right?

00:33:36If they're really dating,

00:33:38Pujia Yan must know about it.

00:33:39All right.

00:33:41During the family reunion dinner,

00:33:42we'll test it.

00:33:43Made me spend so much money.

00:33:45I can't swallow this insult.

00:33:48Son,

00:33:49later during the cleaning,

00:33:50I'll make him do

00:33:51the hardest tasks

00:33:52to cool your anger.

00:33:55Auntie,

00:33:56let me...

00:33:57No,

00:33:58me first.

00:34:03Uh.

00:34:06I mean,

00:34:07let me get the bowls out first.

00:34:10Oh,

00:34:10foo.

00:34:11What's wrong with you?

00:34:12All these good bowls.

00:34:13Smashed by you.

00:34:16How did this happen?

00:34:17Oh,

00:34:18break for luck.

00:34:19It's fine.

00:34:20Oh, no.

00:34:21Dad.

00:34:22Look at Foo.

00:34:23Asked him to clean the cabinet.

00:34:25He broke all these

00:34:26perfectly good bowls.

00:34:27What's your problem?

00:34:29Yeah,

00:34:29what's wrong with you?

00:34:30Can't even handle

00:34:31simple tasks.

00:34:32I'm talking about you.

00:34:37Foo is our guest.

00:34:38How could you make him

00:34:40do all this alone?

00:34:41You.

00:34:43Clean up this mess now.

00:34:44Why should I...

00:34:45I...

00:34:46Go.

00:34:50Hmm.

00:34:54Why am I still

00:34:55doing the most work?

00:34:56Phew.

00:34:58Take those tables and chairs

00:34:59to the river

00:35:00and wash them.

00:35:01So much for one person.

00:35:03If you don't want to do it,

00:35:04get the whole family to help.

00:35:05Go to the village river

00:35:16and scrub all the furniture clean.

00:35:18No slacking.

00:35:20All that furniture

00:35:21will exhaust him.

00:35:26Where are the tables and chairs?

00:35:28Did you lose them again?

00:35:30Gia, Gia.

00:35:31How come your boyfriend

00:35:32is so unreliable?

00:35:42Mr. Foo,

00:35:42as you requested,

00:35:44all the kids in the village

00:35:45are helping.

00:35:46We expect you to finish

00:35:47in half an hour.

00:35:49Okay.

00:35:49Not bad.

00:35:50Take it and divide it.

00:35:51You're in charge of quality control.

00:35:53Tell them they'll be paid per item.

00:35:54If it passes,

00:35:55they get paid.

00:35:56Don't worry, Mr. Foo.

00:35:57We'll make sure they're spotless

00:35:59and bring them back to you.

00:36:00Okay.

00:36:01Go ahead.

00:36:05Paying people to do work?

00:36:07You're just wasting money.

00:36:12Will you do it for 2,000?

00:36:15What do you mean?

00:36:16You can only fool those kids.

00:36:18I won't be swayed

00:36:19by your little bit of money.

00:36:22Will you do it for 5,000?

00:36:24You think you're something

00:36:25because you have money.

00:36:27It's not a problem

00:36:28that money can't solve.

00:36:30$8,000.

00:36:36Deal?

00:36:37I'll do it.

00:36:39Even if you do it,

00:36:40I won't give it to you.

00:36:41If I gave you this money,

00:36:42it would really be wasted.

00:36:43You,

00:36:44Jia-Jah,

00:36:45look at your boyfriend.

00:36:46He'd rather give the money

00:36:47to outsiders

00:36:48than to his own family.

00:36:49Haven't you heard

00:36:50that the good stuff

00:36:51shouldn't go to outsiders?

00:36:53It's his money.

00:36:54He can spend it

00:36:54however he wants.

00:36:55It's none of your business.

00:36:56Being possessive

00:36:57of other people's money

00:36:58is a mental illness.

00:37:00Come help.

00:37:01Okay.

00:37:04Putting on an act.

00:37:06No matter how well you act,

00:37:08you're still not a real couple.

00:37:10Let's see how long

00:37:11you can be arrogant.

00:37:12Happy New Year, everyone.

00:37:14Happy New Year.

00:37:15Today,

00:37:18our family has

00:37:19two big happy events.

00:37:21One is

00:37:23brought her boyfriend,

00:37:24Fu,

00:37:24back home.

00:37:26Oh, right.

00:37:26When are you two

00:37:27getting married?

00:37:28Grandpa,

00:37:29I'm not in a hurry.

00:37:30I...

00:37:30We've already set a date,

00:37:31Grandpa.

00:37:34The other happy event is

00:37:36Chen Chong

00:37:37brought his girlfriend,

00:37:38Yin-Yin,

00:37:52Don't worry, Grandpa.

00:37:53The psychic said,

00:37:54I have a face

00:37:55that's destined

00:37:55to have sons.

00:37:56It's easiest for me

00:37:57to have sons.

00:37:58And also,

00:37:59I'm still young.

00:38:01I'm more fertile

00:38:01than some old women.

00:38:03Then I wish you

00:38:04to give birth

00:38:04to eight in one go

00:38:05and create your own

00:38:06water margin gang.

00:38:08What do you mean by that?

00:38:10I didn't mean anything.

00:38:11Respect.

00:38:12Blessings.

00:38:13I wish you two

00:38:14are inseparable

00:38:14and all blessing.

00:38:20Dinner starts here

00:38:21at 7 p.m.

00:38:22Come on,

00:38:23cousin,

00:38:24Mr. Fu,

00:38:24have some fruit first.

00:38:26Yes.

00:38:27Fu,

00:38:28try our apples.

00:38:29They're the best here

00:38:30from here.

00:38:31Mm.

00:38:34Mm.

00:38:35Very sweet.

00:38:36Thank you, Grandpa.

00:38:37Hey, Mr. Fu,

00:38:38don't just eat by yourself.

00:38:39We have fresh mangoes here.

00:38:41Let my cousin try some.

00:38:44I don't want any.

00:38:45This mango is fresh.

00:38:46Try it.

00:38:47Mr. Fu,

00:38:47my cousin is allergic to mangoes.

00:38:49You didn't know that,

00:38:50did you?

00:38:51You guys,

00:38:52are you really dating?

00:38:58Dad,

00:38:59actually,

00:38:59I noticed something

00:39:00was off before

00:39:01when I took them

00:39:02to put away

00:39:02their luggage.

00:39:04I heard Jia Jia

00:39:05say to Fu

00:39:06that she'd reimburse him

00:39:07for the rental car fee.

00:39:09And for the New Year's

00:39:12gift money.

00:39:13When they were playing

00:39:13Mahjong,

00:39:14their stories

00:39:15were full of holes.

00:39:17I think they're

00:39:17just pretending

00:39:18to be a couple.

00:39:19Chen Jia,

00:39:20you know Grandpa

00:39:21hates being lied to,

00:39:22yet you did it on purpose.

00:39:24Grandpa has spoiled you

00:39:25for so many years.

00:39:26He even saved up

00:39:27his own pension money

00:39:28for your dowry,

00:39:29and you bring back

00:39:30a fake boyfriend

00:39:31to lie to him.

00:39:32Ugh.

00:39:33Are you planning

00:39:34to take Grandpa's pension?

00:39:36Is that it?

00:39:37Dad,

00:39:37you can't let them

00:39:38trick you.

00:39:39Maybe Jia Jia

00:39:39was also tricked

00:39:41by this guy.

00:39:42She just made a mistake.

00:39:43Otherwise,

00:39:44give me the money.

00:39:44I'll keep it for you.

00:39:46I absolutely

00:39:47won't allow

00:39:48those unrelated people

00:39:49to get their hands

00:39:50on this money.

00:39:51You're even eyeing

00:39:52Grandpa's pension.

00:39:54Chen Jia,

00:39:54have you lost your mind?

00:39:56No one wants you.

00:39:57It's not a secret.

00:39:58Why would you lie

00:39:59to your family

00:40:00for money?

00:40:00You...

00:40:01Grandpa,

00:40:05are you blind?

00:40:06You hit the wrong person.

00:40:07Chen Jia is over there.

00:40:09You're exactly

00:40:09who I'm hitting.

00:40:10This is your cousin.

00:40:12Why are you so harsh?

00:40:14She lied first,

00:40:15didn't she?

00:40:15I'm just being honest.

00:40:21Jia Jia,

00:40:22you too.

00:40:22What's really going on here?

00:40:26Grandpa,

00:40:26actually,

00:40:27I...

00:40:28I'm sorry.

00:40:29It's all my fault.

00:40:30This isn't your fault.

00:40:31This was all my idea.

00:40:33It's me.

00:40:34I'm the one who loves mangoes,

00:40:35so Jia Jia's been

00:40:36accommodating me all along.

00:40:42Sweetheart,

00:40:43I'm sorry.

00:40:44This is all my mistake.

00:40:45Don't force yourself

00:40:46to suffer anymore,

00:40:47compromising for me.

00:40:49All right,

00:40:49enough now.

00:40:50A couple's life together

00:40:52requires mutual understanding

00:40:54and compromise.

00:40:56But,

00:40:57Fu,

00:40:57regarding this matter,

00:40:59I must criticize you.

00:41:01Grandpa's right.

00:41:01I haven't done well enough.

00:41:04I'll never let Jia Jia

00:41:05feel wronged again.

00:41:07This guy

00:41:07has quick wit,

00:41:08huh?

00:41:09You're truly born

00:41:09for this job.

00:41:11Fine words you say,

00:41:13but at the mahjong table,

00:41:14your answers didn't match

00:41:16in timing at all.

00:41:17How do you explain this?

00:41:19Huh.

00:41:19Do you think we're fools?

00:41:21Jia Jia and I really

00:41:22met a year ago.

00:41:24Still being stubborn,

00:41:25if you truly

00:41:25met a year ago,

00:41:26why hasn't

00:41:27Chen Jia

00:41:28ever mentioned you

00:41:29to the family?

00:41:30Even six months ago,

00:41:31she followed family

00:41:32arrangements

00:41:32to blind dates.

00:41:36I've been

00:41:36secretly in love

00:41:37with her for a year.

00:41:39Jia Jia's outstanding

00:41:39and courageous.

00:41:41She excels

00:41:41in every task

00:41:42she undertakes.

00:41:43This year,

00:41:44she led her team

00:41:45to achieve 60%

00:41:46of annual targets.

00:41:48I believe

00:41:48no one could resist

00:41:49being drawn

00:41:50to such a girl.

00:41:53Mrs. Lee,

00:41:54I've loved Jia Jia

00:41:55so long.

00:41:56She finally gave me

00:41:57this chance.

00:41:58I'll strive

00:41:58to become official soon.

00:41:59Good.

00:42:03You've got good taste,

00:42:05kid.

00:42:06From now on,

00:42:07if anyone dares

00:42:08to wrong Jia Jia,

00:42:09I will be the first

00:42:11to object.

00:42:13Grandpa?

00:42:15Oh,

00:42:16my girl.

00:42:18What are you crying for?

00:42:22I'm getting old,

00:42:23kid.

00:42:23From now on,

00:42:24you'll have to rely

00:42:25on yourself

00:42:26and your future husband.

00:42:27when you get married,

00:42:31I'll give you

00:42:32the biggest surprise.

00:42:34What about me?

00:42:38Let's eat.

00:42:47Okay.

00:42:48They're actually

00:42:51a real couple.

00:42:52That old coot

00:42:52prepared lavish dowry

00:42:54for Chen Jia

00:42:55but didn't mention me

00:42:56at all.

00:42:56What's he playing at?

00:42:58Yan Yan's made it clear.

00:42:59No marriage without

00:43:00a million dowry.

00:43:02A million?

00:43:02Might as well

00:43:03rob a bank.

00:43:04You don't get it.

00:43:06Liu Yan Yan's

00:43:06a city girl

00:43:07and only child.

00:43:08Her family's loaded.

00:43:09Once I outlive,

00:43:11her parents,

00:43:12their house,

00:43:13and savings

00:43:13will all be mine.

00:43:15Exactly.

00:43:16Can't miss this chance.

00:43:18Right.

00:43:19It's just a million.

00:43:22Son,

00:43:23don't worry about the money.

00:43:25I got plans.

00:43:26Oh, by the way,

00:43:27that Fu guy you mentioned

00:43:28is also from the city.

00:43:30Would his family accept

00:43:31Chen Jia's

00:43:32single parent background?

00:43:34From what Fu Jia Yan said,

00:43:35his parents

00:43:36seem to like Chen Jia.

00:43:39What good is that now

00:43:40if Chen Jia

00:43:41cheats on him

00:43:42and gets pregnant?

00:43:43That...

00:43:44How's that possible?

00:43:48You're saying?

00:43:51Lame.

00:43:52That ungrateful jerk.

00:43:53He doesn't know

00:43:54what's good for him.

00:43:55She should just marry Chen

00:43:57so we can get

00:43:58the bride price.

00:43:59Then this mess

00:44:00wouldn't have happened.

00:44:01Exactly.

00:44:03She started this war.

00:44:04I'll finish it.

00:44:05She's the one

00:44:05who forced me

00:44:06to sign that debt note.

00:44:08Made me spend

00:44:09over 50,000

00:44:10buying gold

00:44:10for Yan Yan.

00:44:11Once this works out,

00:44:13she'll have

00:44:14to marry Chen.

00:44:15She can't even control

00:44:16her own bride price.

00:44:18You think she'll get

00:44:19any dowry rights?

00:44:22All that money

00:44:23will be your marriage fund.

00:44:29What was that act

00:44:30at dinner today?

00:44:31What's going on?

00:44:32Oh no.

00:44:33I defended her too hard

00:44:35and accidentally

00:44:36slipped up.

00:44:37Does this make it look

00:44:38like I approached her

00:44:39with ulterior motives?

00:44:40She'll hate me.

00:44:41I just...

00:44:42Did you know

00:44:43about me all along?

00:44:45Actually...

00:44:46Does your club

00:44:47have sales targets?

00:44:48Or do you specifically

00:44:49track female clients,

00:44:51personal information,

00:44:52listen carefully,

00:44:53this is illegal,

00:44:54I could report you

00:44:54anytime.

00:44:55Ah.

00:44:56All jobs deserve respect,

00:44:57but scamming women's

00:44:59feelings for money

00:44:59is despicable

00:45:00and shameful.

00:45:01Wait,

00:45:02you've got it wrong.

00:45:03I'm not actually

00:45:04a club employee.

00:45:05I just happen

00:45:06to be there.

00:45:07Then how do you

00:45:08know so much about me?

00:45:09Jaja can't find out

00:45:10my real identity

00:45:11or else,

00:45:12at this stage,

00:45:13she'll definitely

00:45:14cut me off.

00:45:14I visited your office,

00:45:16heard co-workers

00:45:16praising you.

00:45:18Manager is colleague.

00:45:19If Jaja ever asks,

00:45:20it's not exactly lying.

00:45:22Oh,

00:45:22so you're from

00:45:23the partner company?

00:45:24That explains it.

00:45:25Uh,

00:45:26I mean...

00:45:27I'm really sorry

00:45:28for doubting you.

00:45:29Why didn't you

00:45:30explain this sooner?

00:45:33Because...

00:45:33Because you were

00:45:34paying me

00:45:35way too much.

00:45:36So please,

00:45:37don't fire me,

00:45:38okay?

00:45:38It's okay.

00:45:39Seems he's really

00:45:40in need of this money.

00:45:42So,

00:45:42the money you spent

00:45:43at the gold store today.

00:45:45Mr. Fu,

00:45:46are you saying

00:45:47we should melt

00:45:47all the gold jewelry

00:45:48we bought

00:45:49and turn them

00:45:49into gold bars?

00:45:51Mm-hmm.

00:45:52If we gift directly,

00:45:54Jaja won't accept it.

00:45:55Melt them

00:45:56into bars first.

00:45:57I'll find another

00:45:58chance to give them.

00:46:02Do you think

00:46:02this approach is right?

00:46:03Do women really

00:46:04prefer gold bars?

00:46:06Sir,

00:46:06trust me,

00:46:07nobody rejects

00:46:08gold bars.

00:46:09Nobody.

00:46:11I returned everything.

00:46:13Good.

00:46:13No more acting flashy.

00:46:15Yes,

00:46:15I'll listen to you.

00:46:16Jaja.

00:46:17Come stay up

00:46:18for New Year's Eve

00:46:19and bring food

00:46:19to set off fireworks.

00:46:21Okay.

00:46:24Quit staring.

00:46:25Let's go.

00:46:25All right.

00:46:26How do you play

00:46:31with this?

00:46:32This is what

00:46:33every kid plays

00:46:33during New Year's

00:46:34celebrations.

00:46:35Don't tell me.

00:46:36You've never

00:46:37tried this.

00:46:38I always used to

00:46:38arrange

00:46:39city-wide

00:46:40fireworks displays.

00:46:41Never seen

00:46:41such tiny ones.

00:46:42My mom

00:46:44never bought me

00:46:44these.

00:46:45Must be because

00:46:46we were too poor

00:46:46to afford even these.

00:46:49Let me show you.

00:46:51Here,

00:46:51I'll light it for you.

00:46:53Okay.

00:46:53You're so timid.

00:47:02Don't just stand there.

00:47:03Move around.

00:47:04Like this?

00:47:05Yeah.

00:47:05Let me teach you.

00:47:10Here.

00:47:12Like this.

00:47:19Okay.

00:47:23Living in the big city

00:47:48for too long,

00:47:49I start missing

00:47:50the stars back home.

00:47:50When I was a kid

00:47:52and got bullied,

00:47:53I'd always hide

00:47:53in the yard

00:47:54and watch the stars.

00:47:55Who bullied you?

00:47:56I'll go teach them

00:47:56a lesson.

00:47:57Was it that shameless

00:47:58Chen Chang with a face

00:47:59thicker than city walls?

00:48:00Or that sour-faced,

00:48:02mean-looking,

00:48:02middle-aged woman?

00:48:03What are you planning?

00:48:04Let's just peacefully

00:48:05spend Mom and Grandpa

00:48:07and do the New Year right.

00:48:08That's what really matters.

00:48:09We.

00:48:09Back then,

00:48:14you pounded your chest

00:48:16and swore to me

00:48:17that you'd definitely

00:48:18make Chen Jia

00:48:19marry into our family.

00:48:20That's why I agreed

00:48:21to give you

00:48:21800,000 Tonwen.

00:48:23Now,

00:48:24she's brought a boyfriend

00:48:25home with her.

00:48:26You still have the nerve

00:48:27to ask me for money.

00:48:28Relax.

00:48:29She'll definitely

00:48:30break up with that guy

00:48:31soon enough.

00:48:33Tomorrow,

00:48:33I'll trick her out

00:48:34and Chan

00:48:35lock them in a room together.

00:48:36Once the deed is done,

00:48:38what can she possibly do then?

00:48:40Are you sure

00:48:40this will work?

00:48:41What if?

00:48:42Her boyfriend

00:48:42comes after us.

00:48:44Don't worry one bit.

00:48:46That guy's just

00:48:46some lowly worker

00:48:47and being cuckold

00:48:48is so embarrassing.

00:48:50Who dare admit

00:48:51that publicly

00:48:52if he finds out

00:48:53he'll run for the hills.

00:48:54Trouble us?

00:48:55Come on.

00:48:56Fine.

00:48:57If it weren't

00:48:58for Chun's condition

00:48:59making marriage difficult,

00:49:01I'd never pay this much.

00:49:03If this falls through,

00:49:05you'll return

00:49:05every cent

00:49:06of the bride price.

00:49:08Just wait

00:49:09to hold your grandson

00:49:09son.

00:49:14Ugh.

00:49:15Mom's already

00:49:15arranged it.

00:49:16Just get ready

00:49:17to marry her.

00:49:18Who knew?

00:49:19That woman

00:49:19was worth so much.

00:49:21But that man

00:49:22clings to her

00:49:23day and night.

00:49:24How do we

00:49:25get rid of him?

00:49:29Chen Chung,

00:49:30why does your

00:49:30water heater

00:49:31keep fluctuating

00:49:32if I catch a cold?

00:49:33What then?

00:49:34I've got an idea.

00:49:37Hey, hey, hey.

00:49:38I just saw that guy.

00:49:39He'd go in to shower.

00:49:40No mistake about it.

00:49:41It's freezing out.

00:49:43Take his clothes,

00:49:44cut the hot water,

00:49:45he'll catch a cold.

00:49:46A pervert stole my clothes.

00:49:57What's all the yelling about?

00:49:59Uh.

00:50:00Uh.

00:50:05I didn't mean to.

00:50:07I didn't expect

00:50:07you'd barge in

00:50:08without knocking.

00:50:09Are you saying

00:50:12while showering

00:50:13a shadow sneaked in

00:50:14and stole your clothes?

00:50:16Huh.

00:50:16What?

00:50:17You think you're

00:50:17a gender-swapped

00:50:18fairy tale character?

00:50:19Just admit you forgot them.

00:50:21I'm telling the truth.

00:50:24Have some hot water

00:50:25to warm up.

00:50:34Uh.

00:50:35Uh.

00:50:36Uh.

00:50:37Uh.

00:50:39Uh.

00:50:40Uh.

00:50:41My head's killing me.

00:50:42I think I'm getting sick.

00:50:46Uh.

00:50:48Sleeping on the floor

00:50:49again tonight.

00:50:50My head's pounding

00:50:51even worse.

00:50:53Then.

00:51:01I told you to use

00:51:02two quilts.

00:51:03Wake up early tomorrow

00:51:04and clean up.

00:51:04Don't get caught.

00:51:05Fine.

00:51:07Good night.

00:51:08This guy.

00:51:09Why does he look so pitiful?

00:51:18Night.

00:51:27Get up quick.

00:51:28We need to tidy up.

00:51:30Put the quilts away.

00:51:30Don't leave any traces.

00:51:31Hey.

00:51:38Wake up.

00:51:43You're burning up.

00:51:45You must have a fever.

00:51:46Just because last night

00:51:47you took that cold shower.

00:51:49You're not very tough,

00:51:50are you?

00:51:51Not very tough.

00:51:52Who are you calling weak?

00:51:54I'm fine.

00:51:55I can get up.

00:51:57Oh.

00:51:58Stop struggling.

00:51:59With this fever,

00:52:00you could boil an egg.

00:52:01Want some eggs?

00:52:03I'll go cook some for you.

00:52:04Wait.

00:52:05This is all my fault.

00:52:06I should have let you

00:52:07sleep in the bed last night.

00:52:11Stay in bed and rest.

00:52:12I'll find you something to eat.

00:52:13Get your strength back.

00:52:18Hey.

00:52:19Where's Fu?

00:52:20He's running a fever.

00:52:21I'll make him some kanji.

00:52:22Oh, Mom.

00:52:22Where's our medicine?

00:52:23I think it's...

00:52:24Oh, no.

00:52:26Your mom's memory.

00:52:27Any medicine would be expired.

00:52:29Oh.

00:52:29What should we do then?

00:52:30Maybe visit the doctor.

00:52:32It's Lunar New Year's Day.

00:52:33They're closed for the holiday.

00:52:35I know.

00:52:36Tian's family has medicine.

00:52:38I'll take you there later.

00:52:39Why is she being...

00:52:40so helpful all of a sudden?

00:52:42Enough.

00:52:42If you're sick,

00:52:43take medicine.

00:52:45Don't infect Chenxiang

00:52:46and Yan Yan.

00:52:47Okay, Auntie.

00:52:48After I deliver this kanji,

00:52:49I'll go with you.

00:52:50Mr. Fu,

00:52:54the venture capitalists are here

00:52:55requesting a meeting with you.

00:52:57They mention some bidding projects.

00:52:58They want to discuss with you.

00:53:00Why bother me?

00:53:00Do they think I pay risk assessment

00:53:02and to sit around and form them?

00:53:03If they can't handle trivial bids,

00:53:05they don't deserve their salaries.

00:53:07Mr. Fu.

00:53:10What was that about salaries?

00:53:11Oh.

00:53:15I'm fine.

00:53:16How do you feel now?

00:53:17Should I feed you?

00:53:18No.

00:53:19Sorry for the trouble.

00:53:24What did the Mr. Fu say?

00:53:26That cold fish is finally thawing.

00:53:28Everything's changed.

00:53:30We should get ready.

00:53:31Our boss may be get a girlfriend.

00:53:36Here we are.

00:53:39Mrs. Gui.

00:53:40Oh.

00:53:44Not bad at all.

00:53:45Jiar Jiar's blossomed into

00:53:47such a beauty.

00:53:48Top university graduate too.

00:53:50With hips like hers.

00:53:52She'll bear.

00:53:53Smart.

00:53:53Beautiful kids.

00:53:55Um.

00:53:56Mrs. Guy.

00:53:57My boyfriend's sick with fever.

00:53:58My auntie said you have medicine.

00:54:00I came to buy some.

00:54:02Got it in stock,

00:54:03but it's in the back.

00:54:04Come with me.

00:54:05Uh.

00:54:05Okay.

00:54:06Okay.

00:54:07Why do I suddenly feel chills down my spine?

00:54:13Something's off with them.

00:54:16Auntie.

00:54:16Ah.

00:54:17Could you get it for me?

00:54:18Just remembered.

00:54:18Urgent business.

00:54:19I must go.

00:54:24Auntie.

00:54:24What are you doing?

00:54:26Stay still quietly,

00:54:27and you'll suffer less.

00:54:29Blame yourself for being so stingy.

00:54:31You wouldn't even help your own conceit.

00:54:33I've long wanted to sell this worthless girl

00:54:35for dowry money.

00:54:37How dare you do this?

00:54:38Aren't you afraid of karma?

00:54:39My son is the Chen family's only heir.

00:54:42Selling you for his dowry is only right.

00:54:45Besides, you're already here.

00:54:47Who gave you a say?

00:54:48Get inside quietly.

00:54:49What are you doing?

00:54:50What's happening?

00:54:51My son's waiting.

00:54:52In the room.

00:54:53This is illegal.

00:54:55Let me go and I'll pretend.

00:54:56Nothing happened.

00:54:57Don't listen to her nonsense.

00:54:58Once it's done,

00:54:59your son will be her husband.

00:55:01Police won't help.

00:55:04Help.

00:55:05Someone help.

00:55:08Ah.

00:55:09Bitch, how dare you bite me.

00:55:12That's 800,000.

00:55:14Don't damage the goods.

00:55:15Don't worry.

00:55:16I'll discipline her properly.

00:55:18Teaching her a lesson

00:55:18will keep her obedient.

00:55:20Enough.

00:55:20Finish this.

00:55:21We'll talk later.

00:55:22Fine.

00:55:23Let me go.

00:55:24Help.

00:55:25Help me, please.

00:55:26Ms. Chen and Mr. Fu

00:55:33are good people.

00:55:34I must save her.

00:55:36Oh?

00:55:37How did you know

00:55:38my girlfriend

00:55:39made me kanji personally?

00:55:41Truffle caviar.

00:55:42You sneer it.

00:55:44Yet marvel at plain kanji.

00:55:46You're just jealous.

00:55:48I'll invest in

00:55:49developing

00:55:50scent-transmitting phones

00:55:51so you singles

00:55:52can experience better.

00:55:54Stop showing off.

00:55:55You're making me cringe.

00:55:57Wait.

00:55:58Before New Year,

00:55:59you said your aunt

00:55:59forced you to blind date.

00:56:01You were miserable.

00:56:02How come you suddenly

00:56:02have a girlfriend?

00:56:03None of your business.

00:56:04Jaja's kanji is amazing.

00:56:09At noon,

00:56:10she...

00:56:10Why are you here?

00:56:19Mr. Fu,

00:56:20go save Ms. Chen.

00:56:22She's being kidnapped.

00:56:24What's wrong with

00:56:25Jiajia?

00:56:26I saw Mr. Fool's mother

00:56:27and Ms. Chen,

00:56:28Ms. Chen's aunt,

00:56:29dragging her into the house.

00:56:31She kept saying

00:56:32something about forced marriage.

00:56:34Take me there now.

00:56:39Right here.

00:56:40I was hiding outside

00:56:41and saw everything.

00:56:42Huh.

00:56:43Stay back.

00:56:50Whoa, Mr. Fu.

00:56:52Can you teach me Kung Fu?

00:56:56Hey, who are you

00:56:57daring to cause trouble here?

00:56:59You've got a death wish.

00:57:00Where's Jiajia?

00:57:02Jiajia.

00:57:02I don't understand you.

00:57:04Last time I'm asking,

00:57:05where is Jiajia?

00:57:06Keep playing dumb

00:57:07and I'll make you regret it.

00:57:09Oh.

00:57:10Didn't Jiajia go

00:57:11get your medicine?

00:57:12Why come here?

00:57:13You're lying.

00:57:14I saw with my own eyes

00:57:16you locking Ms. Chen

00:57:17in that room.

00:57:18You even hit her.

00:57:20Looking to die.

00:57:22Tell me,

00:57:23where's Jiajia?

00:57:24Jiajia.

00:57:26He's the guy

00:57:27dating Jiajia.

00:57:30Why fear a worker?

00:57:31Jiajia's been

00:57:33betrothed to my son.

00:57:34800,000 betrothal gift.

00:57:37Money already paid.

00:57:38You shouldn't cross me.

00:57:40Fine.

00:57:41Here's 20,000.

00:57:43Take it

00:57:43and get out.

00:57:45Just take it.

00:57:46This is for your own good.

00:57:48Look at you,

00:57:48just a worker.

00:57:49This 20,000

00:57:50equals half your yearly salary.

00:57:52You should appreciate it.

00:57:53On this happy occasion,

00:57:55get out if you know what's good.

00:57:57Don't block my son.

00:57:58She's my girlfriend.

00:57:59Even if you were

00:58:00in a relationship,

00:58:02married couples

00:58:03can still divorce.

00:58:04Who do you think you are?

00:58:06I'll give you

00:58:06one last chance.

00:58:08Move.

00:58:08Hey, listen up.

00:58:10This isn't

00:58:10a place for poor

00:58:12workers like you.

00:58:13Strangers

00:58:13don't belong here.

00:58:17Huh.

00:58:18This doesn't concern you.

00:58:19Stay out of it.

00:58:20Go home now.

00:58:20Don't worry, Mr. Fu.

00:58:22I'll get help

00:58:22to rescue Ms. Chen.

00:58:24We'll

00:58:24save Ms. Chen.

00:58:26Don't let this brat.

00:58:29Shh.

00:58:30Let him go.

00:58:31They'll see Chen Jia

00:58:32and Chun together.

00:58:34Once everyone sees,

00:58:36Chen Jia will have

00:58:37to marry Chun.

00:58:39Makes sense.

00:58:41Want to find Chen Jia?

00:58:43She's inside.

00:58:44Think you can

00:58:45get past us?

00:58:46Hmm.

00:58:47Fu.

00:58:48It's too late now.

00:58:49Their family's well off.

00:58:50She'll live comfortably.

00:58:52She's coming here

00:58:52for a better life.

00:58:53If you care about her,

00:58:56stop making trouble.

00:58:57I'm her aunt.

00:58:58Would I harm her?

00:58:59This is kidnapping.

00:59:01Arranged marriage

00:59:02is tradition.

00:59:03We're family.

00:59:04What crime?

00:59:05Must I spell it out?

00:59:06You're pathetic.

00:59:07Chun paid 800,000

00:59:08for married

00:59:09Jia Jia.

00:59:10You,

00:59:10what can you offer?

00:59:11I gave you a chance.

00:59:12You didn't take it.

00:59:14Now neither the money

00:59:15nor the girl

00:59:16will be yours.

00:59:17Chen Jia's been in there

00:59:18over ten minutes.

00:59:20She's already

00:59:20damaged goods.

00:59:21Ah.

00:59:25How dare you

00:59:26hit me.

00:59:28This is getting dangerous.

00:59:29Every minute I waste,

00:59:30Jia Jia stays in.

00:59:32Danger another minute.

00:59:34Two options.

00:59:35Release Jia Jia.

00:59:36Now.

00:59:37I can keep you

00:59:38out of prison sooner

00:59:39or I'll make you

00:59:40rot in prison.

00:59:41Open up.

00:59:42You monster.

00:59:43How dare you

00:59:43lay hands on me.

00:59:44When my husband returns,

00:59:46you'll pay for this.

00:59:47What are you doing here?

00:59:51Who told me everything.

00:59:52I'm sorry.

00:59:53I came too late.

00:59:54Are you hurt?

00:59:54Any injuries?

00:59:55Where's that man?

00:59:56Hey.

00:59:57Shh.

01:00:01I just got him to sleep.

01:00:03He's a fool.

01:00:04Doesn't understand anything.

01:00:05Didn't harm me at all.

01:00:06Crap.

01:00:18Left in a hurry.

01:00:19Forgot my phone.

01:00:20Need to keep him calm.

01:00:22Stay back.

01:00:25Heh.

01:00:25Perfect.

01:00:26It's Jia Jia.

01:00:28Mom always said

01:00:29you'd come play with me.

01:00:31She was right.

01:00:33Let me tell you a story,

01:00:34okay?

01:00:35Mm-hmm.

01:00:37Okay.

01:00:48Oh.

01:00:49Don't hold me so tight.

01:00:50I'm really okay.

01:00:51I'm not okay.

01:00:52What's wrong?

01:00:52I was so nervous just now.

01:00:54I haven't recovered yet.

01:00:55My heart is still racing.

01:00:57Feel it if you don't believe me.

01:01:01Be serious.

01:01:02Ouch, ouch.

01:01:03My head hurts.

01:01:04Hey.

01:01:05You mean,

01:01:06you were in the room all the time

01:01:07telling my son stories

01:01:09and nothing happened.

01:01:10Who would believe that?

01:01:11I believe it.

01:01:12You should be glad

01:01:13that Jia Jia wasn't hurt.

01:01:15Otherwise,

01:01:16you and your idiot son,

01:01:17I wouldn't let either of you go.

01:01:18Hmph.

01:01:19You're just a poor worker.

01:01:20Big talk.

01:01:22Jia Jia,

01:01:23don't say I didn't warn you.

01:01:25You and my son

01:01:25being alone for so long.

01:01:27Your reputation is ruined.

01:01:29You should just

01:01:29obediently.

01:01:32Jia Jia,

01:01:32how could you hit her?

01:01:34I hit her.

01:01:35I didn't hit you right.

01:01:36The Chen family

01:01:37never cares

01:01:37about what outsiders

01:01:38think.

01:01:39So this rumor thing

01:01:40doesn't work on me.

01:01:41I saw your son was innocent

01:01:42and didn't kick his third leg.

01:01:44You should be kneeling down,

01:01:45thanking me.

01:01:46I paid for you

01:01:48your hours in life

01:01:49and in death.

01:01:50Today,

01:01:51you must marry my son.

01:01:52Otherwise,

01:01:53I'll tear up your face.

01:01:55I'll make you regret

01:01:57what you just said

01:01:58and pay the price.

01:02:00Get over here

01:02:01in ten minutes.

01:02:02You,

01:02:02what are you trying to pull?

01:02:04Are you think we scared?

01:02:06You're just a poor,

01:02:07what connections

01:02:08could you have?

01:02:08Call a bunch of nobodies.

01:02:10It won't do any good.

01:02:11You're already

01:02:12my son's woman.

01:02:13You.

01:02:14Ah,

01:02:14this is outrageous.

01:02:16After all that money,

01:02:18someone snatched

01:02:18my son's wife.

01:02:20They even beat up

01:02:20an old woman like me.

01:02:22Someone,

01:02:23please judge this injustice.

01:02:24Who took your money?

01:02:27Go find them then.

01:02:29Your bride is right here.

01:02:30Hey,

01:02:31bitch,

01:02:32how dare you spout nonsense.

01:02:33I'll tear that lying

01:02:34mouth of yours.

01:02:36Mom,

01:02:37what's all this noise?

01:02:39It's my bedtime now.

01:02:41Listen, son,

01:02:42don't you like Chen Jia?

01:02:44He's trying to steal

01:02:45Chen Jia away.

01:02:46Soon you'll never

01:02:47see Chen Jia again.

01:02:48Hmm,

01:02:49bully,

01:02:50take this,

01:02:50you villain.

01:02:53Don't go.

01:02:53You haven't finished

01:02:55my bedtime story.

01:02:57Chen,

01:02:58be good now.

01:02:59He's not a bad guy.

01:03:00He's my boyfriend.

01:03:02What's a boyfriend?

01:03:05This is what a boyfriend is.

01:03:06Then I want one too.

01:03:08I want one.

01:03:09I want one too.

01:03:11Son,

01:03:12but he's a man.

01:03:13This,

01:03:14we paid for this deal.

01:03:15Grab her back.

01:03:16Don't let her be

01:03:17taken by others.

01:03:18Stay right there.

01:03:20I,

01:03:20ah.

01:03:20Why are you grabbing

01:03:22my son?

01:03:30Mr.

01:03:30Huang,

01:03:31what brings you here?

01:03:32Had I not come,

01:03:33I wouldn't see your lawlessness.

01:03:35Restrain those two.

01:03:38Ouch.

01:03:39Ow.

01:03:40Hey.

01:03:41Why is Mr.

01:03:42Huang here?

01:03:43Give him a chance

01:03:43to prove himself.

01:03:45Mr.

01:03:45Huang,

01:03:45who do you think you are?

01:03:47What right do you have

01:03:47to arrest us?

01:03:48Mr.

01:03:49Huang,

01:03:50it's me,

01:03:51my son Chen Xiang.

01:03:52You're trusted lieutenant.

01:03:54You've even visited our home.

01:03:56Take them away.

01:03:57To the enforcement team.

01:03:58Please,

01:03:58Mr.

01:03:59Huang,

01:03:59I beg you,

01:04:00don't.

01:04:00You're begging the wrong person.

01:04:07Jia Jia.

01:04:08Jia Jia.

01:04:09I'm your auntie.

01:04:10We're family.

01:04:11During the new year.

01:04:12It was just a family joke.

01:04:14Don't take it seriously.

01:04:15Jia Jia.

01:04:16Now you suddenly remember

01:04:17that we're family

01:04:18when you sold me for money.

01:04:20Why didn't you remember

01:04:20we were family then?

01:04:22Everything you're suffering

01:04:23is what you deserve.

01:04:24I've hired the best lawyer.

01:04:27You'll pay for your crimes.

01:04:30Jia Jia.

01:04:31I'm your auntie.

01:04:32You can't send me

01:04:33to the enforcement team.

01:04:35Jia Jia.

01:04:42Mr.

01:04:43Fu,

01:04:43we're here to help.

01:04:45Thank goodness,

01:04:46the old witch got caught.

01:04:47Ms. Chen is safe now.

01:04:59Yan Yan.

01:05:00Your family can't even afford

01:05:02a million betrothal gifts.

01:05:04I'm leaving right now.

01:05:05I'll give you that.

01:05:07We'll buy gold later.

01:05:08My princess.

01:05:09Just relax,

01:05:10okay?

01:05:11Seriously.

01:05:12Chen Jia's still not back.

01:05:13We'll get that 800,000

01:05:15buying gold bracelets.

01:05:16We'll be a piece of cake.

01:05:18A group came

01:05:19and took your mother away.

01:05:21Said she's going

01:05:22to the enforcement team.

01:05:24You're motherless now.

01:05:25The enforcement team?

01:05:27Did they find out?

01:05:28Uh.

01:05:28Where did this brat come from?

01:05:30Stop spouting nonsense.

01:05:31Your mom broke the law.

01:05:36This will stay on her record.

01:05:38We're breaking up now.

01:05:39Ugh,

01:05:39that's just kids' nonsense.

01:05:41Don't take it seriously.

01:05:43Then why did you stutter earlier?

01:05:45I...

01:05:45Now you have two choices.

01:05:47Given your mother's situation,

01:05:49either marry into my family

01:05:50or pay a two million dairy.

01:05:55It's definitely you, bitch.

01:05:57You called them.

01:05:58Release my mom.

01:05:59Immediately.

01:05:59Then pay me one million

01:06:00for emotional distress.

01:06:02Then I'll forgive you.

01:06:04A cornered beast strikes back.

01:06:06Lost your mind, huh?

01:06:07If it weren't for you

01:06:08dragging this poor guy

01:06:09back here,

01:06:10Mrs. Guy's 800,000

01:06:12would have been mine already.

01:06:13This is all your fault, bitch.

01:06:16Ugh.

01:06:17Shut up.

01:06:18You choose to be shameless.

01:06:20How shameless you are.

01:06:21Well,

01:06:22you redefine

01:06:23the meaning of disgrace.

01:06:24You're literal garbage.

01:06:25You pathetic.

01:06:26How dare you...

01:06:27How dare you hit me?

01:06:30You really think

01:06:31this guy loves you?

01:06:32Look at yourself

01:06:33in the mirror.

01:06:34He just wants your money.

01:06:37Huh.

01:06:39Ugh.

01:06:39My biggest regret is

01:06:40not making Mr. Huang

01:06:42fire you sooner.

01:06:43Stop putting on

01:06:43this act.

01:06:44Don't think cozying up

01:06:45to the Chen family

01:06:46or that hag

01:06:47is important.

01:06:48Getting Mr. Huang

01:06:49to fire me.

01:06:50Who do you think you are?

01:06:51You're just a

01:06:52worthless lowlife.

01:06:53Meeting Mr. Huang

01:06:54was your luck.

01:06:56Huang Jianhua

01:06:59fire Chen Qiang

01:07:00immediately.

01:07:01Trash like him

01:07:01doesn't belong

01:07:02in Shengzuo group.

01:07:04Still pretending tough

01:07:05at a time like this.

01:07:07You don't really think

01:07:08faking a phone call

01:07:09will...

01:07:10What a coincidence.

01:07:15That guy

01:07:15just made a call

01:07:16and Mr. Huang

01:07:17called?

01:07:18No.

01:07:19He just got lucky.

01:07:20A blind cat

01:07:21found a dead rat.

01:07:22A worker like him

01:07:23couldn't know

01:07:24Mr. Huang.

01:07:24Hello, Mr. Huang.

01:07:29Happy New Year.

01:07:30Your orders, sir.

01:07:32Well, aren't you something?

01:07:33You're fired.

01:07:35Why?

01:07:35All these years

01:07:36I've given to this company

01:07:37working myself

01:07:38to the bone.

01:07:38If not for the merits,

01:07:40then the hard work.

01:07:41Mr. Huang,

01:07:42you can't fire me.

01:07:43What stupid thing

01:07:44did you and your mother

01:07:45do to offend someone?

01:07:47You know what you did.

01:07:47I didn't expect

01:07:51that woman

01:07:51from the Chen family

01:07:52to have so much influence.

01:07:54Mr. Huang

01:07:55actually listened

01:07:56to this guy.

01:07:57It's you.

01:07:58What exactly

01:07:59did you say

01:07:59to Mr. Huang?

01:08:00How dare you point at me?

01:08:02I don't want

01:08:02that finger anymore.

01:08:04What do you mean?

01:08:04Just like that?

01:08:05Your job is gone?

01:08:06Aren't you a manager?

01:08:07He's just a worker.

01:08:08How can he fire you?

01:08:10What manager?

01:08:11Isn't he just

01:08:12the second purchasing

01:08:12department's team leader?

01:08:14Team leader?

01:08:17You damned Chen Chang?

01:08:19How much truth

01:08:20is actually in your mouth?

01:08:22How much is your salary?

01:08:24Explain yourself clearly.

01:08:25Oh, Yan Yan.

01:08:26Let me explain.

01:08:27If it weren't for those two,

01:08:29I would have already

01:08:29been a manager.

01:08:31You're so good at planning.

01:08:32Why didn't you go

01:08:32all the way

01:08:33and say you're

01:08:33the president

01:08:34of Shengzhou Group?

01:08:38You scheming scumbag

01:08:40wasting my time.

01:08:41We're break-up.

01:08:45Hey.

01:08:48How did you get in touch

01:08:49with Mr. Huang?

01:08:50He comes to me

01:08:51every quarter

01:08:52to report

01:08:52on the company's business.

01:08:53At this point,

01:08:54stop playing abstract,

01:08:55okay?

01:08:56No.

01:08:56I was just taking a nap.

01:08:58Why is it so noisy?

01:09:00I'm going to tell Grandpa.

01:09:01You're jinx.

01:09:02I've turned our family

01:09:03upside down.

01:09:04For a man

01:09:05disregarding family,

01:09:07you got my mom

01:09:07arrested by the

01:09:08enforcement team

01:09:09and you let this guy

01:09:10make me lose

01:09:11my job.

01:09:13Grandpa will

01:09:14seek justice for me.

01:09:17Grandpa.

01:09:19Grandpa isn't well.

01:09:20He also has

01:09:20high blood pressure.

01:09:21We can't let him

01:09:22go up there

01:09:22and upset Grandpa.

01:09:23I haven't finished

01:09:24speaking.

01:09:24Forget it.

01:09:24Let's solve

01:09:25the problem first.

01:09:29Grandpa,

01:09:30you have to

01:09:30stand up for me.

01:09:32Ja-ja,

01:09:32what's going on here?

01:09:34They tricked me

01:09:34and locked me in

01:09:35with Chun

01:09:36in a room.

01:09:37If Fujian hadn't

01:09:38arrived in time,

01:09:39they would have

01:09:39sold me off

01:09:40like livestock

01:09:41to Mrs.

01:09:42Gui's son.

01:09:42You monsters.

01:09:44Ja-ja's your

01:09:45Kansan.

01:09:46How could you do

01:09:47something so vile?

01:09:49Disgraceful.

01:09:50It wasn't that

01:09:50serious.

01:09:51We just took them

01:09:52to meet someone

01:09:53for New Year's

01:09:54greetings.

01:09:54They overreacted.

01:09:56One called the

01:09:56enforcement team

01:09:57to arrest my mom.

01:09:59The other got me

01:09:59fired.

01:10:00Let me clarify.

01:10:01I'm the one who

01:10:02called and I made

01:10:03you lose your job.

01:10:04You...

01:10:05Grandpa,

01:10:07I'm your only

01:10:09grandson.

01:10:10I lost my job.

01:10:11My girlfriend left

01:10:12and my mom's

01:10:13in jail.

01:10:14Grandpa,

01:10:15you must make

01:10:15this right.

01:10:17All you do

01:10:17is cry.

01:10:18You're draining

01:10:18all the family's

01:10:19good fortune.

01:10:20So what if

01:10:21I'm the only

01:10:21grandson?

01:10:22When your mom

01:10:22was arrested,

01:10:23you weren't this

01:10:24upset.

01:10:24Lost your job.

01:10:25Girlfriend gone.

01:10:26Now you shed

01:10:27crocodile tears.

01:10:28None of your

01:10:28business.

01:10:29This is family

01:10:30matter.

01:10:31When did we need

01:10:32an outsider's

01:10:33interference?

01:10:34Jaja's business

01:10:34is mine.

01:10:37What's wrong?

01:10:38Did I go too far?

01:10:39I just couldn't

01:10:40swallow that anger.

01:10:41No.

01:10:42You spoke

01:10:43perfectly.

01:10:44When I first

01:10:45saw you today,

01:10:46I wanted to say,

01:10:48Fujian,

01:10:49thank you.

01:10:50No need for

01:10:51thanks.

01:10:52Marry me instead.

01:11:01Mr. Fu.

01:11:01The ring you

01:11:02ordered,

01:11:02true love,

01:11:03has arrived.

01:11:08Good.

01:11:09You may leave.

01:11:20When Jaja

01:11:21receives my gift,

01:11:22she'll be thrilled.

01:11:24What did you say

01:11:24in that last sentence?

01:11:25I didn't catch that.

01:11:27That's a euphemism.

01:11:29Are you rejecting me?

01:11:30Grandpa,

01:11:32this is all my mom's

01:11:33idea.

01:11:34It has nothing

01:11:34to do with me.

01:11:35I've been victimized.

01:11:36I have nothing left.

01:11:38I'm a victim too.

01:11:39You can't just keep

01:11:40siding with Chen Jia.

01:11:41What more do you want?

01:11:43The most pressing

01:11:44issue now

01:11:45is to resolve

01:11:46my employment

01:11:46situation.

01:11:48Isn't my cousin

01:11:48a president?

01:11:49I'm not picky.

01:11:50If she just gives me

01:11:51a position.

01:11:53Also,

01:11:53Yan Yan's wedding

01:11:54needs a

01:11:551,000,000 dowry.

01:11:56Oh.

01:11:57Of course,

01:11:58if you think

01:11:58she's not suitable,

01:11:59I'm not hung up on her.

01:12:01But you have to get

01:12:01my cousin

01:12:02to buy me an apartment

01:12:03in Zhang City

01:12:04so I can get married.

01:12:06Also,

01:12:07my mom,

01:12:07she'll have a criminal record.

01:12:09If this goes on,

01:12:10what girl

01:12:11will ever

01:12:11marry me?

01:12:13Grandpa,

01:12:13I'm the only male heir

01:12:14of the Chen family.

01:12:16The Chen family

01:12:16depends on me

01:12:17to carry on

01:12:18the family line.

01:12:20Chen Jia,

01:12:21you're my cousin.

01:12:22These are the most

01:12:23basic demands.

01:12:24Don't say,

01:12:25I'm taking advantage

01:12:25of you.

01:12:26Losing your job

01:12:27is entirely your fault.

01:12:28Still trying to play innocent?

01:12:34If it weren't for you,

01:12:35bringing this pauper

01:12:36back here,

01:12:37I would have gotten

01:12:37Mrs. Guy's

01:12:38800,000 long ago.

01:12:40It's all your fault,

01:12:41bitch.

01:12:42I'll skip the vulgarities

01:12:43that follow.

01:12:43I won't put those in.

01:12:44It's New Year's.

01:12:45Nobody wants to

01:12:46hear a dog barking.

01:12:47You keep saying

01:12:48you didn't know

01:12:49about this.

01:12:50Then how do you know

01:12:50your mom accepted

01:12:51the betrothal gifts,

01:12:53the 800,000?

01:12:55I...

01:12:55Ah.

01:12:57Grandpa,

01:12:57what are you doing?

01:12:58I'll beat you to death

01:12:59today,

01:13:00you bastard.

01:13:01You...

01:13:01I'm your only grandson.

01:13:04Gigi is my only

01:13:04granddaughter,

01:13:05you idiot.

01:13:08Before,

01:13:09this,

01:13:09it was one thing

01:13:10when you were lazy,

01:13:11but now,

01:13:12you're actually targeting

01:13:13your cousin

01:13:14today,

01:13:15I'm going to make you

01:13:15personally

01:13:16apologize to

01:13:18G.I.G.'s father.

01:13:22Grandpa?

01:13:25Grandpa?

01:13:25You...

01:13:26You've always favored

01:13:29Chen Gia since I was

01:13:30a kid?

01:13:31You clueless old man.

01:13:33You don't cherish

01:13:34your own grandson,

01:13:35yet you dote on this

01:13:36worthless woman

01:13:36like she's some

01:13:37precious treasure.

01:13:38If it weren't for you,

01:13:39clinging to your pension

01:13:40and insisting on giving

01:13:41it to her as a dowry,

01:13:42Mom and I wouldn't

01:13:43have resorted to that

01:13:44scheme to get

01:13:44$800,000.

01:13:46If you're so capable,

01:13:48just kill me today.

01:13:49I'm the only male heir

01:13:50of the Chen family.

01:13:51Let's see who'll

01:13:52take care of you

01:13:53when I'm gone.

01:13:54Hi.

01:13:56Stop pretending

01:13:56to care about Grandpa.

01:13:58Your accounting fraud

01:13:59at the previous company

01:14:00has been exposed.

01:14:02You'll serve a longer

01:14:03sentence than your mother.

01:14:04Why don't you go prison

01:14:05and be filial there?

01:14:06Impossible.

01:14:07I clearly...

01:14:07I'm from the legal department.

01:14:11You're suspected

01:14:12of financial fraud.

01:14:13Come with us

01:14:14for investigation.

01:14:18This can't be.

01:14:20You've made a mistake.

01:14:22Someone must be

01:14:23framing me.

01:14:24Take him away.

01:14:30Grandpa.

01:14:32I'm sorry.

01:14:34It's my fault

01:14:34for failing you.

01:14:36I never imagined

01:14:38your cousin and aunt

01:14:40would commit

01:14:42such heinous acts.

01:14:44Seems they've been

01:14:45bullying you

01:14:45since childhood.

01:14:47Your mother

01:14:47was always

01:14:48too soft-hearted.

01:14:49I should have

01:14:50protected you better.

01:14:53Grandpa.

01:14:58Phu, come here.

01:15:00Sit down.

01:15:04Jaja.

01:15:06Phu is a good man.

01:15:09I can see he truly

01:15:10loves you

01:15:10and cares deeply.

01:15:12What if

01:15:12we make his contract

01:15:14permanent,

01:15:15give him a real position?

01:15:18Grandpa, how

01:15:19did you find out?

01:15:21Well,

01:15:21during our last

01:15:22Mahjong game,

01:15:23I noticed something odd.

01:15:24I'm old.

01:15:26One morning,

01:15:26I passed

01:15:27your room

01:15:28and saw

01:15:28that poor boy

01:15:29sleeping on the floor

01:15:31in freezing weather

01:15:32every night.

01:15:34It's okay, Grandpa.

01:15:34I'm used to it.

01:15:39I heard what you said

01:15:40earlier,

01:15:41Fuji Ayan.

01:15:43I may not know you

01:15:44well yet,

01:15:44but I want to try

01:15:45being together.

01:15:46I can be your boyfriend.

01:15:48Wonderful.

01:15:48Now I can take you

01:15:49to meet my mom.

01:15:50Gia.

01:16:18Gia.

01:16:19Gia.

01:16:20Actually, from the moment I first saw you, I fell in love with you.

01:16:27This ring symbolizes love you forever.

01:16:30Will you marry me?

01:16:39Yes, I do.

01:16:49Great.

01:17:01Why does your mom look exactly like Xingzhuo Group's president's mother?

01:17:21At that banquet years ago, the president never showed up.

01:17:25But I remember this lady well.

01:17:27I'm Fu Jiayun.

01:17:29I know.

01:17:30The Fu from Xingzhuo Group.

01:17:32Honey, next time, don't just focus on your work.

01:17:35Do some background checks on our partner's executives, too.

01:17:38Are you lecturing me?

01:17:39I wouldn't dare scheme anything.

01:17:42Every mistake is mine to bear.

01:17:45They're our partners, after all.

01:17:47We should keep our relationship under wraps for now.

01:17:50We should keep our relationship under wraps.
