Episode 15
Mr. Jiang.
I've run a background check on Li Man's father.
He doesn't have a fixed income
and is a gambling addict.
He is waist-deep in debts.
Three years ago, the secretary of Chendong's President Xu Yuanzhi,
wired him a large sum of money.
It took place exactly after Chendong
stole our source code.
Okay. Got it.
Did
something happen?
An emergency.
Let me send you back now.
It's okay.
I can take a cab.
Go do your thing.
Come back early once you're done.
Let's go.
Who's there?
Weren't you
the person with Li Man last time?
She's not here.
Why are you here?
Just last one time?
Our history went way back than that.
But I don't know you.
Shoo shoo.
Calm down.
Unless you're worried that I know your secret
and I'm here to settle the score.
What secret?
I don't know what you're talking about.
This footage here is enough
(Chendong) to land you three years in jail.
It's no use to threaten me.
That footage can't prove anything.
I didn't come here
just to show you this.
Why are you here?
Tell me
what happened three years ago?
If I tell you, will you let me live?
If you don't tell me,
I'll see you in jail.
Okay.
I sold the source code of the game.
You and your daughter,
one stole the code,
and another found the buyer.
No.
This has nothing to do with Man.
I heard
that Chendong called her to persuade her
to sell them your source code
but she refused to do so.
It was me who took the source code and sold it.
Are you saying
Li Man wasn't aware of this?
Of course not.
She was falling head over heels in love with you
that she didn't even have time for her own dad.
I was at my wits' end due to the debt collectors so I...
Considering the shared history you had with my daughter,
can you let me go?
What's wrong?
Mr. Jiang.
I beg of you.
Please let us go.
He's here.
Hello.
Your package is here.
Thank you.
Dad, your package.
I...
I thought it was Jiang.
It's past 6 PM already.
Was he still at work?
Give him a call.
Mom,
why not we eat first?
He might be busy.
Let's be patient.
This is our first dinner with our son-in-law.
It's not right to start
without him.
Is he in the right then?
He never visited once after
getting married.
And finally, we agreed on a date
but he's nowhere to be seen.
Does he think he's the only one who's busy?
Mom.
Let's have some snacks to fill your tummy.
Jiang Yicheng bought them for you.
Sure.
Wonderful idea.
Come.
Let's try his gifts.
Come.
Crunchy rice, your favorite.
Come, have some.
It's quite crunchy.
You know,
a young man like him should be busy.
It's much better than those who loiter around
and do nothing.
Don't you agree?
Exactly.
I love Jiang Yicheng
because I like
how he insists on pursuing a career path he likes.
He doesn't forget his root.
So all work
and no life then?
If he can
forget about you during your birthday,
then I dare not imagine how he treats you every day.
It's not like that.
Your mom is right.
Supporting your husband's ambition is one thing.
But if Jiang mistreats you,
you have to tell us.
Got it?
Dad,
he's very nice to me.
When we were in Ancient Town yesterday,
we celebrated my birthday together.
He even prepared a surprise for me before midnight.
See?
I told you.
Jiang is a lovely husband.
Tell us
what happened last night.
Check this out.
He made me this fruit cake
and we lit the sparklers together.
Also this one.
He made me this too.
And that cake over there.
We baked it together.
Let me see.
Beautiful.
Indeed.
This is a good angle.
So pretty.
This one is cute.
Two lion cubs.
I came here to give him money.
Yicheng.
Why did you look for him?
To ask him about what happened three years ago.
So you know.
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
Do you think taking the blame alone
and moving to another country can solve the problem?
My father committed a crime
and as a result, you and your company suffered a great loss.
I cannot stay out of it.
But the code was the fruit of everyone's effort in the company.
Do I not deserve
an explanation?
I wanted to tell you
but
I couldn't.
Couldn't you?
You shut down your phone.
No one was at home.
I asked everyone you knew
but I still couldn't find you.
To look for you,
I got into an accident and was hospitalized for a month.
But you,
did you even reach out to me once?
Because I was arrested.
I wanted to reach out
but I couldn't.
Wait!
Give me that hard disk.
Let go!
We toiled for a year to make this.
You cannot sell it to someone else.
I didn't raise you
so that you can be a hindrance to my money-making scheme.
How much money did you owe?
I'll pay them off.
But you can't sell the code.
You'll ruin Jiang Yicheng.
Jiang Yicheng?
Someone offered me 500,000 Chinese yuan!
Back off!
If you sell the code,
I'll end my life here!
Will you sacrifice
your dignity for a man?
Let's die together!
Call the police now!
She wants to kill me.
Call the police!
(Xinhai Detention House)
You're here.
Come.
I'll treat you to a nice meal.
Did you sell the code?
Why would I turn down such a delicious offer?
Is money everything for you?
For the money,
you accused your own daughter of physical assault.
I was in prison for 15 days.
If I don't do that,
I can't get the money!
Didn't you say you wanted to study abroad?
We have the money now.
You're looking for that Jiang kid again?
I owe him an explanation.
If he wants to take legal action against you,
I won't stop him.
He's hospitalized.
He got into an accident when he was looking for you.
Poor son.
You thought you found a soulmate
but she's just a conniving wench.
Guess I was blinded by love.
Truth be told,
it's good that she's gone.
Think about it.
The atrocity she committed
must be due to her abysmal upbringing.
I saw how much you liked her
so I didn't want to comment on her background.
But in my opinion,
you deserve better.
Once you're discharged,
I'll find you some...
Mom.
I just want to get my company back on track.
Don't add more to the plate, can you?
Just so you know,
even if she reappears
one day,
do not forgive her.
I will not accept a girl
with that kind of upbringing.
She doesn't have what it takes to be my daughter-in-law.
Back then, perhaps my pride got hurt upon hearing
what your mom said
or perhaps
I just didn't know how to face you,
so I decided to run away.
During these three years,
I worked hard
so that I could become a better person.
I thought I could move on
but then I realized that
I can't get you out of my mind.
My hatred towards you was what
fueled me to brave through the company's darkest year.
I didn't know that...
It's only normal that you resent me.
A child has to pay off his parents' debt.
I bear responsibility
for what my dad did.
Your dad is your dad.
You are you.
If I knew the truth,
while I might not be able to stay calm
but I would still know right from wrong.
You could have taken legal action.
So why didn't you?
My company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
I didn't have time to think about lawsuits.
Also,
I didn't have solid evidence to prove that
you stole our source code.
Even if I take it to court,
I won't be able to win it.
It will just be a waste of time.
What about now?
Will you sue my father?
What's the point?
Chendong used that source code
to develop games and went public.
If I sue,
it is Chendong which should pay me back what they owe me.
You've been laying low for three years
so I thought you had given up.
Moving on doesn't mean giving up.
I see.
Whether it's a relationship or a career,
you've moved on.
I am the one who refuses to let go.
If nothing had happened back then,
would we be happily married now?
What happened has happened.
There's no rewind button.
Your hypothesis doesn't hold.
You're back.
Why didn't you sleep in your room?
I was waiting for you.
Sorry.
Today was a busy day
and I couldn't meet your parents.
When you picked up that phone today,
you sounded serious.
What happened?
Nothing.
Rest early.
To present a seamless,
open world in Xuan Zhong Ji
so that our players can have an immersive gaming experience,
we have opted for a high quality
cartoon art style to render the images.
It adheres to the highest standard of PBR.
In terms of scene, pet and class design, we also integrated many
cultural elements inspired by Shan Hai Jing.
We want the players
to experience an authentic mystical world.
In addition, the Planning Department has also
(Product Introduction) come up with more content.
Not only can players
capture various legendary creatures in the game,
they can also build their own home
and raise those creatures.
They can even meet their friends online
through the AR function to raise pets together.
Hi, is this Mr. Jiang Yicheng?
Your friend, Li Man, is now hospitalized.
Can you come here now?
Okay.
My friend is in the hospital.
I have to go now.
You guys carry on.
Da Huang.
This is the first time Mr. Jiang
left a meeting halfway.
What's happening?
No idea.
Sounds like a female friend.
But other than Lu Li,
who else can make him look this worried?
Is it possible that...
Enough.
The meeting has ended.
You should work.
Yes.
Work. Work.
Let's work.
What are you staring at?
Tong, are you home?
Yes.
I'm in the middle of my beauty nap.
What's up?
How's my mother-in-law?
Is she okay?
It couldn't be better.
She nags me all the time.
I'm glad.
Continue your sleep.
(Not my mother-in-law.)
(Not Zitong either.)
(Someone that he cares a lot about...)
(Could it be Li Man?)
(Honey, I'm downstairs.)
Li.
For you.
Not bad.
You still remember to give me good food.
Tell me.
Is there any huge progress between you and Jiang Yicheng?
Ever since we came back from Ancient Town,
he's been acting weird.
He would just disappear suddenly.
Did his ex come back?
I'm not sure.
EG sent another person in as our liaison.
I don't know if both of them
share other kinds of relationships.
How can you not know what your love rival is up to!
Check his phone then.
Look at his WeChat history
and purchase history.
See if he went to a hotel
and bought some feminine products.
I...
What if I see something
I'm not supposed to?
What should I do then?
Didn't they say that you'll only upset yourself
if you peek at your lover's phone?
Jiang Yicheng and I
are finally back on good terms.
I don't want him to resent me again.
So we stay put,
observe,
and deal with it as we proceed.
All right.
Stop sulking.
Come, let's grab something to eat.
No, thanks.
I'm not hungry.
Really?
Fine then.
I'll just leave then.
Bye.
Stay there!
Face me!
Are
you here for Lu Li?
I'll ask her to come down now.
Come back here.
Did I do anything wrong?
No.
Have you had a girlfriend already?
No.
Then why are you ghosting me?
You only give me short replies on WeChat.
So insincere.
I'm busy.
I don't have the time.
People like you always use "busy" as an excuse.
I should have seen through your tricks.
You flirt and scoot.
Playboy.
No, no.
It's just a misunderstanding, Xiaoqi.
I just haven't thought about
how I should be with you.
So am I just your backup plan?
If you need me, you contact me.
If you don't, you ghost me.
I won't let people take advantage of me like that!
Director Gu stopped me from contacting you.
Gu Mo?
Why is he in the picture?
He thinks that
my current situation
is not good enough for your family.
He wants me to give up.
You mean Gu Mo asked you to stay away from me?
Why do you believe him so blindly?
He's not my biological brother.
He's my superior!
If I don't
listen to him, who else?
Did he ever threaten you with your job?
I haven't settled the score with him for Lu Li.
And now, he did this as well.
So am I not the first man he threatened?
No wonder he knows what button to push.
He's an expert.
I was wondering why ever since I was small,
men would steer away from me.
He's behind this.
Yes.
Ask him to come down here now!
We work in different departments.
I'm not crazy.
If I argue with you further, I'll be late.
You go...
You'll pay for this, Gu Mo!

Yicheng?
I didn't really mean to bother you,
but the nurse insisted on calling you.
She said that I took some anti-allergy medicine,
so my family is required to be here.
I only remember your number.
Thank you for coming.
What happened to your hands and face?
Nothing.
Did he hit you?
Why did he come to you?
For money.
Ever since I came back,
he kept pestering me for money.
Regularly?
If I said no or didn't give him enough,
he'd hit me.
You can call the police.
Can I send him to the police station
like what he did to me back then?
He has enjoyed freedom for so many years.
Sending him to jail is already a punishment too light.
Yicheng.
He's my dad.
He raised me.
I can't be this heartless.
Your kindness
enables him.
Are you willing to be his ATM for the rest of your life?
You're right.
I've worked hard to improve myself
during the past three years.
However, I cannot deny that
I have this loser of a father.
There is a way.
What way?
Triage.
Didn't I tell you not to drink cold drinks?
It's not good for your health.
The Black Forest cake that you ate last time was from here.
Do you want to eat it?
Gu Mo.
No need to play nice anymore.
I know
what you did.
What did I do?
The first year of high school,
the class monitor confessed to me.
He took his words back the next day.
You're the only person who knows about it.
Was it your doing?
Your parents didn't want you to have a relationship too early.
They asked me to look after you.
Fine.
Forget about high school.
In university,
I have only fallen in love with three people.
The first one broke up with me
after a day.
The other two just told me that I wasn't good enough
before we even dated.
Did you talk to them?
I merely tested their sincerity
but they all chickened out.
The band singer whom I spent half a year courting
ghosted me suddenly last year.
Did you do that too?
Those who are in a band
cannot give you a sense of security.
They are not good for you.
I'm free to like whoever I want
and it's none of your business!
I'm just trying to protect you.
You're too naive.
I don't want you to get hurt.
I'm not that girl who can be bought
by one lollipop.
All right?
I'm an adult.
I can be responsible for what I do.
You don't have the right to intervene.
Well, I am your brother
so I have the right.
Having Gu in your name
doesn't mean you're my biological brother.
And even if you are,
you cannot meddle in my private life.
You just want to be a control freak
under the pretext of "for your own good."
No,
a possessive control freak!
Gu Xiaoqi.
Listen carefully.
Other than your parents,
no one else can vow that they won't hurt you other than me.
But what you did
ruin my youth.
Ever since I entered university,
every year, my birthday wish and my new year wish
are to find a boyfriend.
Until now,
it hasn't come true.
I thought there was
something wrong with me
and that's why no man would approach me.
I didn't expect that you were behind
all of this!
All right.
But you have to know that
those who can give you up readily
do not deserve your love.
I know.
I don't like them anymore.
But that doesn't mean
I can forgive you for meddling.
From now on,
you leave me
and my life alone.
I officially announce that
you and I are no longer friends!
Gu Mo.
It's over!
(Did something bad happen?)
(Jiang Yicheng) (You left so quickly just now.)
(Jiang Yicheng)
(Are you coming back to the office this afternoon?)
(Jiang Yicheng)
What got into you this time?
Lu Li.
I think I've been dumped.
Were you ever in a relationship?
Exactly.
I was dumped before
I got into a relationship.
My life is so sad.
Did Xiaoqi reject you?
Not Xiaoqi.
If Xiaoqi rejects me,
I'll still dog after her shamelessly.
It's Director Gu.
Director Gu?
Doesn't he want you to be together with Xiaoqi?
You know,
with someone like him as the gatekeeper,
even if Director Gu is not Xiaoqi's boyfriend,
Xiaoqi's boyfriend has to be
someone better than Director Gu.
I can work hard but
I can never fight him.
You can fight.
You'll just get one shot.
You're right.
Speaking of which,
the Art Department didn't
give me the render last time.
That was supposed to be the warning from Director Gu.
What was I thinking
fighting a robot like that?
I'm digging my own grave, aren't I?
I agree.
Your opponent
will make you realize how powerless you are.
Lu Li.
I have a question.
If you can only have either love or a career,
which one will you pick?
My love and my career are related to the same person.
What you said
is stinky.
Are you my buddy or not?
Why?
Why can't I have both love and a career?
Da Huang.
What got into you?
Another love problem?
Da Huang.
Have you forgotten
how challenging it was to keep your job last time?
Too tough, too tough.
The path to true love is too tough,
and too bumpy.
No relationship is easy.
There will be ups and downs.
Something's off with you and Mr. Jiang today.
Did both of you crash
due to malfunction?
Why are you so interested in someone's private life?
Are you lovesick?
I can ask around for you.
I... I'm not lovesick.
The relationship is too much trouble.
Well...
Lu.
I'm interested.
Feel free to distribute some to me.
You know what?
I will
talk to Yezi from the Administration Department
and see if we can merge
the admin and the Programming Department.
Not bad, Old Ape.
Calm down.
I'll come back now.
Guys.
It looks like...
Family issues. I have to go.
Can you help me take a half-day leave?
Sure.
My friends.
Suddenly, I feel like my path to true love
isn't that bumpy.
Mr. Chen.
The leave notice from Old Ape.
Can you sign here?
You smelled it, didn't you?
The coffee I just brewed.
Thank you then.
Are you and Yicheng okay now?
You guys seemed happy in Ancient Town.
Thanks to you and Zitong.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.
So did you think about what you need to do?
I believe there's a charm to persevere.
Even ice can be melted with enough heat.
Didn't you say that
opportunity is for those who reach out to it?
What if your effort
only brings you disappointment?
There's a limit to
how low one can stoop for the sake of love.
Should that day come,
maybe I won't be able to give my blessing with a smile
but I still know how to take defeat gracefully.
Why are you laughing?
I admire you.
You're laughing at me
because I'm a headstrong dummy who won't back down until I hit a wall.
I'm serious.
When faced with a relationship,
many will hesitate,
including me.
We're used to weighing the gain and the loss.
But the more you hesitate, the more you lose.
It's hard to keep a pure heart when love is involved
like what you do now.
You have something rare in you, Lu Li.
Thank you for your kind words.
I will try to be someone you can look up to forever.
I need to lay low.
If Zitong asks for me,
just say that I'm outbound.
What happened to you two?
You guys have been acting weird since the trip to Ancient Town.
Her CPU is overheating.
She needs to cool down.
See you.
Too many hesitations, I see.
Sister-in-law.
Have you seen Yiming?
He
Went out.
When?
It's been a while.
He's not here.
He won't pick up his phone.
He's hiding from me.
My brother is not here too.
Did they go out together?
He went out this morning.
Right.
You called me too.
So
Do you have no idea where my brother went either?
Unacceptable.
They can have all the fun outside
while the women have to earn money for them.
Men.
Useless beings.
Maybe they have something else to do.
You indulge my brother too much.
Come, let's go out to vent.
It's still office hours.
You're the lady boss.
What are you afraid of?
Come, come.
Let's go.
Wait.
I need to bring my bag.
Go now.
(In-patient Department)
Keep this triage result.
There should be surveillance cameras in your residential area
as well as in the staircase.
Keep the footage of his visit.
It might not be very useful
but at least he has something to fear.
I think I've troubled you long enough
that your work has been affected.
Yes.
When the doctor called me, I was in a meeting.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have bothered you
with my dad's problem.
But I was scared.
The only one I could think of was you.
Perhaps your mom is right.
People like me will only hold you back.
If my mom said something hurtful to you,
I apologize on behalf of her.
If your mom hadn't given me a wake-up call,
the Li Man you see here wouldn't exist.
Thank you
for coming to my aid on such short notice.
We know each other, after all.
Also, you're the victim.
So,
are you saying that
we're still friends?
You know.
I didn't grow up in a happy household.
I don't have many friends.
You, Zitong,
and Yiming are all important to me.
Even if we can't be together,
I still don't want to
lose you guys as my friends.
I'll send you back.
I don't want to go back.
It's scary back there.
Let me treat you to a meal
as my way to thank you
for your great help today.
Okay?
That feels awesome.
Nothing money
can't cure.
That's the privilege the rich have.
Did you not spend a dime today?
I don't have a strong urge to spend.
Come, let me take the picture for you.
No, no, no.
This has nothing to do with my spending spree.
Some people spend
to buy happiness,
like my brother.
Other than games and Lego,
he spends all his money on his company.
Some people are happy, so they spend.
Like us here.
I'll be your camerawoman.
Go.
Today,
you should spend until my brother can't pay with his card anymore.
Show my brother what an upset wife can do.
It's quite unrealistic, you know.
Revenge spending is only fun for a short while.
Ultimately, I'm depleting our mutual resources.
I will suffer too in the end.
You're right.
That said,
a woman
needs to know how to spend money.
Or someone else will spend it
for you.
What do you mean?
Aren't you worried that my brother might be sick of vanilla flavor
and go for something else?
Jiang Yicheng is not like that.
Personality matters too.
My brother is so picky.
He will want both personality and appearance.
Have you not seen him with...
What about this restaurant?
I don't mind.
What did you see?
I'm saying that you should stay alert
because someone might take away my brother.
Don't you think so?
Let's go.
Where to?
My feet hurt from walking so much.
Let's go back.
I can't drive.
Can you drive?
Careful.
Let's go.
It's late now.
Perhaps you can go back
and come visit another day?
I'm fine.
Normally, my brother won't allow me to come visit.
Since he's not here today,
I should have the house tour.
Open the door.
Sister-in-law.
Can you get me a drink?
Sure.
Here.
If you're tired,
you can rest on the sofa.
Okay.
Where are you going?
To the toilet.
I'll show you the way.
Come.
Please.
Take your time.
You're done.
Sister-in-law.
Have you been waiting by the door?
Didn't you want a house tour?
Come.
Let me show you.
See?
Your beauty standard
hasn't changed since elementary school.
Yicheng said the same thing too.
It's very comfortable.
Please don't tell me
all your clothes are like this.
Only my brother's clothes are here.
Where are yours?
You know,
your brother is quite territorial.
Also, this wardrobe is too small.
That's why we have separate wardrobes.
That's quite like him.
Come.
Let's play some games.
Have a seat.
You...
It's really late.
Are you sure you don't want to head back?
You...
If you're tired, you can sleep first.
Just ignore me.
Do you really want to stay here?
I need to talk to my brother.
