Tired? Need a rest?

No. But you're a champion in long-distance
running. I can't race you.

You're saying that. So you're letting
me win?

No, I'm running behind to protect you.
It's good.

Hey!

Are you OK?

Twisted my ankle.

Let me see that.

Does it hurt?

A little. Just a twist.

Here?

It's OK. I'm fine.

Let me get the car. You wait here.

It's OK. Let's go together.

Together?

For lunch!

Help me up.

It's so nice to come back to a commercial
district for lunch on a holiday.

Yes. It's usually very crowded and
everyone's in a rush.

Only on a holiday can you feel the chill
in this area.

You're a regular customer here?

On holidays, I usually have no place
to go myself

so I come here for brunch and a coffee.

You're on your own so you have the freedom.

What about you? Any plans for the future?

I don't look that far ahead.

I just hope that when I have no work,
I can come out to relax like this.

Thank you, expert in enjoying life
for bringing me.

On enjoying life

I picked it up from my father.

I remember when I was small,
he'd take us to nice restaurants.

I seldom hear you talking
about your family.

You're very close with your father?

He's my idol.

Hello, Mr Ma.

We have a 10th anniversary lucky draw.

Have you got your membership card with you?

If you don't, it's OK.

Just input your mobile number to
join the lucky draw.

Sure.

What prizes can you get?

If you win, for a general award,

you get a $500 coupon (100 prizes);

The grand award, it's a 4-day/3-nights
travel package to the Maldives.

Mr Ma, please press this button once.

You do it.

Please press the button.

Congratulations!

You won the grand prize!

I'll bring you the coupon for that later.

I shall leave you to your meal now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey! That's easy. Is it for real?

Did you organise it?

I think it's your good luck.

I don't have such luck with lucky draws.

But I've long wanted to go on a trip.

But places like the Maldives...
to go alone...

I do want to go too.

But you know, financing for phase two of
the railway terminus project will start.

The baby hasn't started weaning.

I can't be away in at least a year.

Well...

Let's see if your daddy and mommy
would want to go.

Your house is huge.

There should be over a dozen rooms, right?

The Ma's is a rich family in
Hong Kong indeed.

The house is so big. If I lived here
on my own,

I wouldn't be able to find the toilet.

You're exaggerating.

And I told you not to bring all those
gifts for the baby.

He can't play still.

It's alright. Don't stand on ceremony
with me.

Come on.

Thank you, Ho.

You're welcome.

Sit down. Ho has prepared you
a lot of good food.

Listen, the baby is growing up soon.

I want to be his godmother.

I can be a godmother to a 100 billion baby!

I have face!

OK. I'll give you the chance.

But I want a gold bowl for that ceremony.

I'm losing in this deal.

No, no.

I'll offer the godmother a gift first
on behalf of the baby.

There.

Marco and I were out for lunch and we
won a lucky draw out of the blue.

I can't go away for a while.
I'll give it to you.

The Maldives! That place in Africa?

Wonderful!

What a pity. I just broke up with
my boyfriend.

I must find a young hunk to go with me.

You just started dating. Broke up already?

We didn't get along. Why waste time?

Not about me. What about you?

Don't tell me you're going to bring
up the child yourself.

It's a lifetime thing.

I am not like you.

Romance is everything for you.

What counts most to me now
is to bring up the baby well

and to fulfil Joe's wish.

I'll put everything else aside for now.

For now? Wait and you'll miss the chance.

Actually, Marco is not bad.

He's good-looking and stylish
and so talented.

You look good as a pair.

You'd go for lunch on holidays too.

Is something going on between you?

Don't speak any nonsense.

I'm good friends with Marco.

Friends?

"Friends" means you appreciate each other.

You like each other but wouldn't
profess your love.

Whatever you say.

This is not time to think about
these things.

I have greater missions to complete.

Leave things in the future to the future.

OK. OK. Don't you sound so sure.

Yours can be called "being insistent"
or just too stubborn.

This flavour, right?

So forgetful... Forgot something again?

Chloe...

New product by the Star Cafe:

Special Cream Double-chocolate
Hazelnut Latte.

Fragrant, right?

I queued for two hours.

Pretty lady, is your boss there?

Mrs Ma is not around.

Just tell me if there's anything.

I'll pass the message.

I'll wait for her inside.

Mrs Ma said not to let other people in
when she's out.

"Other people"? I am her family.

Please don't make it hard for me, Mr Ho.

That's so funny!

It's great, look!

Mr Ho, frankly...

Mrs Ma said she didn't want you
in her office

or in the open office either.

Pass these to your boss.

Sure.

Bro Lai, you told me to go to Malaysia to
look into Mandy and her daughter's death.

I got something unexpected.

There's proof that their death
wasn't by accident?

I have yet to find solid proof.

But I've found something suspicious.

I have a friend in Sandakan who's a cop.

Someone actually paid the cop
investigating this case

for him to list this as an accidental
fall to death.

They concluded the case without
looking into it.

Isn't that suspicious?

If the mother and child died in an accident,

why pay the cop?

A granny who runs fast must be fishy.

If Mandy and her daughter died
not by accident but by murder...

the murderer was vicious.

He could kill a little girl even.

She got so many killed.
I can't let her harm Chloe.

I won't stand on ceremony.

Sammie, I haven't eaten with you
like this before.

You don't know much about me.

I'll tell you more about me.

I have done a lot of things for the family.

What they couldn't do outside,
I'd do it for them.

Why could Joe come out so soon?

I did something. Did he tell you?

When conducting myself, I make sure
I can face up to my conscience.

So I'll be straightforward with you.

Enough about me. About you.

I've seen all the coverage about you.

I have watched your every move since
you married into the Ma family.

That day you organised Loi-dai's
birthday party

and asked her to repair the mobile
for you. And then...

Awesome, you came up with that!

You put that clip on the screen.

You could fool the world but not me.

You move a little and I know what you want.

The day you had that accident,

I gave Joe a set of info before that

to prove you related to Mandy and
her daughter's death.

But that info disappeared.

You've never mentioned that it existed.

Why?

Did you get Joe killed?

Uncle Kai-lai, this is not proper.

When you eat Japanese food, you follow
the Japanese rules and manners.

Seniority is important.

When the juniors are present,
the juniors pour the wine.

You don't do it yourself.

My kid brother is in IT.

Who sent the clip on Sis Choi-mei
picking up the high-heel,

you can find out right away.

You got this clip and you didn't tell
Father and Mother

but sent it to me for me to expose her.
What for?

If my guess is right,

with this clip, you've made some money
from Sis Choi-mei for settling your debts.

But then you're worried it will blow
up anyway

so you sent it to me, using me
against Sis Choi-mei.

And you could avenge Chloe too.

I didn't want to intervene with things
amongst the brothers,

so I sent you the clip for you to settle
it amongst yourselves.

Really? Try that with Father and Mother.

See if they'd believe it.

Is Joe's death related to you?

Yes. It's related to me.

That day in the car

about Mandy and the girl's death,
Joe had a quarrel with me.

It could be he got distracted
and we had the accident.

I didn't mention it

because I didn't want the media to
make things up

and create scandals for the Ma family.

That is to say you are responsible
for Joe's death.

Related or responsible - these are
two different things.

Uncle Kai-lai, we really need to know

who's senior, above or under each other.

At The Masons,

Father has never had any regard for you,

while I am his most trusted daughter-in-law.

If you know who's at the upper hand,

I will give you lots of opportunities
in future.

What do you mean by that?
Opportunities?

Trying to buy me out?

If I, Ho Kai-lai, was greedy, I should
have become rich long ago.

I'm telling you, don't you hurt Chloe.

If ever you touch Chloe,

I will make a call and tons of men
will get to work.

You do seem to care a lot about
Chloe, Uncle.

Know who Chloe is to me?

Chloe is Thomas' wife.

I treat Thomas like a son.

Chloe is like a daughter to me.

If you hurt Chloe at all,

I'll call people up...

Sammie.

You're still up?

Got something to share with me?

There's something... I've kept it to
myself for a while.

I've wanted to tell others
but don't know where to start.

Just tell me. I can share your worries.

It's about Joe's accident.

There's something I've kept from everyone.

Just before the car crash that day

we had a big quarrel in the car.

A quarrel?

For what?

About a picture.

A picture?

Your picture?

It's Mandy and her daughter.
They fell down a slope and died.

Joe thought I was responsible for that.

So you had a quarrel because of
Mandy and her girl's death?

Joe insisted that I indirectly
caused their death.

So we had a fight in the car.

He was probably distracted,

so the accident took place.

You can't be blamed for that.

Joe was driving.

You didn't want it to happen.

Quarrels are nothing serious.

Why did you have to hide it?

I didn't want it to affect the Ma's and
Joe's reputation.

I understand. You're worried that
if the reporters found out

they'd mix Mandy and the girl's death
with Joe's case, and blow it up.

You do understand me.

This has been in my heart and I feel
so ill at ease.

Chloe, have I done wrong?

If it was me, I wouldn't say it either.

Sammie

if ever anyone challenges you with this,

I'll stand right up for you.

Thank you.

I feel so much better after talking to you.

Not about me now.

By the way, as I've heard...

is it something happened between you
and Uncle Kai-lai recently?

Who told you that?

No. I noticed that he cares
a lot about you lately.

But you ignore him.

He got you mad?

He's always weird. I have no time for him.

You, do tell me if there's anything, OK?

Got it.

What? Playing a trick on me now?

Can't open it!

Poke like that and you'll break the screen.

Nick! Good to see you!

Nick. Drink the soup first.

It's OK. Won't be a minute.

You said the file's urgent.

I should have told him to send it by email.

And I thought I could see it faster...

OK. Done.

Glad I can open it.

Or I don't know what to say at the meeting.

You're now a senior at the PR Department

like the emperor, looking after so many
things every day!

Right, right...

But even the phone is bullying me.

It suddenly went dead last night already.

This morning it did it again.

Last night?

Why didn't you ask your kid sister
to fix it for you?

My sister?

She wouldn't touch these electronics
things again.

Why?

My sister had this birthday party
earlier, right?

Auntie Sammie's phone got hit by virus.

My sister helped her fix it.

But right after she did it

that clip on Mom picking up
Auntie Chloe's shoe popped up.

Then very serious things happened.

My sister wouldn't even touch her iPad now.

If you're the one fixing the phone
and not my sister

none of those would have happened.

It's all your fault.

I'm beginning to miss Mom and Dad.

Don't be like that.

Just take it as Auntie and Uncle are
taking a long vacation, having a rest.

Drink the soup.

Marco, Chelsea.

Hi.

Hello.

Let me introduce.

Phoebe.

Phoebe.

Johnny.

Hi, Johnny.

Marco, Chelsea.

Hi.

Sorry, Sammie had to take the baby
for a body check.

She couldn't join us.

She asked me to say, "Sorry".

It's OK. A mom has to take care of her baby.

I envy her so much.
She can enjoy family life.

I thought you're a bird without legs.

It takes someone to give me a chance
to settle down.

Stop kidding, Master Lung.

If you want, so many women would
fall in line for you.

That would be hard for Master Lung...

To give up a whole forest for one tree.
Right?

I am very dedicated. You just don't know me.

Marco, you say it.

Based on my observations

with business, once Mr Lung locks
on a target, he charges right ahead.

He won't give up half-way.

It should be the same with relationships.

Of course.

Excuse me.

Marco's words always make people
feel comfortable.

No wonder so many people like to
work with you.

I really don't know about business.

I must learn from you guys.

Are you serious, Chelsea? You're
just having a juice?

That time at Master Hung's 60th birthday
party, you were drinking wine.

Come on.

It's a bit windy here. I'll get a headache
if I drink.

Sure. What about a night snack after this?

Ivan, you're a bit late.

Chelsea promised to have dinner with me
this evening.

You move fast, Master Lung.

Alright.

Drink this champagne on Chelsea's
behalf then.

Sure.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

But I mean it. Let's have dinner tonight.

I just came over from the office.

I'm a bit tired. I can't.

It's OK. One good thing about me.
I am patient.

One day you'll change your mind.

See you.

Bye...

OK. Bye.

Bye, Master Lung.

Bye.

Chelsea.

Marco left early. No one's driving you.

Let me drop you.

It's OK. I can call a taxi.

You turned down my invitation for dinner
and I am sad enough.

If I can't even drive you home,
I don't think I can live with myself.

It's on my way anyway. Let me drop Chel...
Miss Ma...

I'll trouble you then.

Not at all. My pleasure.

I'm worried I'd keep looking at you
and forget to look ahead.

You say that to every girl you meet?

No.

Thank you.

Mr Lung, tell us...

Come help me.
Are you two going out?

Excuse me, friends of the media,

Mr Lung and Miss Ma are rushing to
another function.

Excuse us... Give way please.

Thank you for your concern.

What's your response please?

Chelsea and I do get along well as friends.

I won't rule out the possibility that
we will go further.

But I do hope you can give us some space.

If there's any good news,

I'll share it with you right away.
Thank you.

Excuse us...

Say something more...
No... Excuse us please...

Careful.

Is Master Lung the one for you?
Master Lung...

Careful.
Thank you.

Are you an item already?
For how long?

Say something more...

You don't mind me responding like that?

Even if you didn't say that
they'd write it like that.

Don't know if I'm being too self-confident?

I think we do have a chance of
going further.

I can't control what you think.

Auntie Chelsea has been very popular
these days.

All the entertainment websites are on
her and Lung Man-biu.

"Golden couple, matching backgrounds"?

"Young Master of Kam Lung's settling down
For love of daughter of The Masons?"

"Rendezvous at private club.
Master Lung's crazy chase of a socialite"

They do seem to match.

Sammie,

do you know if they are going out?

I don't know.

But I can tell Lung Man-biu does
fancy Chelsea.

Honey... Chelsea is more popular than
you were during the beauty contest.

Stop this nonsense.

It's Kam Lung's young master after all.

It's not like that Suen Hau-ming.

If they become a pair,

it will be so different for The Masons
and Kam Lung.

We can work more together in business.

Chiu-chi will be contributing to the
Ma family after all.

If it's a serious relationship,

I'm happy for Chiu-chi, of course.

I'm only worried the guy has some
ultimate intentions.

Comments on Lung Man-biu aren't so good.

I'm only worried about Chelsea.

Chelsea is smart.
She knows what to choose.

Honey...

If you insist on judging others using
your husband as a standard,

no one will measure up.

Mom, I am not coming home for dinner.

You have a date with Lung Man-biu?

When did you start to believe in
such gossips?

Exactly since I don't believe it.

How would I know if you don't tell me?

It's fake. It's absolutely not true.

At this stage?

Not at this stage, in the later stage

or ever... Are you happy now, Mom?

Shutting the back door now?

Don't tell me you miss Suen Hau-ming.

Why say that at all?

At this point, I just want to focus on
the new railway terminus project.

I really don't want to think about
anything else.

Besides, I want Daddy to know

apart from three capable sons,

he has me, a bright daughter too.

I know you want to achieve something
in front of the Ma's.

But a woman has to marry someone after all.

If you can marry into the Lung family
you'll be in a different position.

You won't have to be at others' disposal.

I'll be happier if I marry into the
Lung family?

Mom, can I ask you a question?

Since you became a pair with Daddy,

everyone thinks you're having a good life.

But I know you always have to be
at Elder Mom's disposal.

Daddy doesn't even visit once a week.

Have you regretted it?

I followed your Daddy back then
because I really loved him.

I think so long as you have someone
you love by your side,

it's OK to stand some unfairness.

So Mom is doing it for love?

Then you don't need to persuade me.

Because I want to be like you.

I want to find someone I love.

Let's eat.

I've read the press release for tomorrow.

It needs a bit of touching up.

Come to my office and I'll tell you.

I thought I'd be the first to arrive.
So you're earlier.

Red dates and Longan tea with
brown sugar. Alright?

Thank you.

Mrs Ma, Mr Lung and the group are here.

Bring them in.

Sure.

Mr Lung, what do you think about
Chelsea's proposal?

It's very good. The whole proposal
is well-done.

Very meticulous.

I am so demanding and yet I couldn't
pick any bones there.

Well done.

Chelsea is a lawyer herself.

She's very strict with work.

Too kind, Mr Lung.

It's such a big project, we should
handle the proposal with care.

Sammie, I do envy you.

You have such great help from Chelsea.

Don't tell me you want to steal my
great help.

I do want to.

But it takes Chelsea to have confidence
in me.

So I think we should communicate more,
starting with getting to know each other.

What about dinner this evening?

Would Chelsea grant me the honour?

I am sorry, Mr Lung.

I still have lots of work.

I will have to work OT.

Sammie, Marco, I have lots of work
at Legal. I have to go first.

Excuse me.

What?

To invite the Lung's over for a party?

Why not do it outside?

If we invite them here,

it will not only show that the Ma's and
the Lung's are partners in business,

but also reflect the friendly relationship
between the families.

It will be different.

True. That's a major partnership.
We should strengthen our relationship.

If you don't object, Father,
I'll arrange things.

Thank you, Sammie.

BBQ party? Can I not attend it?

Chelsea, you are a Ma.

And you're in charge of the new railway
terminus project.

Why wouldn't you attend it?

You know well, last time I was at

Lung's party and people made up
stories about me as his girlfriend.

This time uncle and auntie will be there,

I don't want it to be like meeting
the parents.

Silly you. This party is for socialising
between the two families.

Just take it as a Ma's PR function.

It's held at home too.

No media will know.

I was probably thinking too much.

Chelsea, as your sister-in-law,

I wish to tell you something,
and I hope you don't mind.

I think since you broke up with
Suen Hau-ming,

you've put all your time and effort on work.

That's not so good for you.

That need not be bad either.

I know, you love work.
You're career-minded.

But life is more than work.

Besides, I find Lung Man-biu not bad.

I can tell he's fond of you.

Take it as just friends between you.

You don't need to reject him so soon.

Is it you find any shortcomings with
Lung Man-biu, you find him repulsive?

"Repulsive" would be too strong a word.

But as you said

I just want to focus on work, and
handle the project well.

I really don't want to think about
other things.

OK. I can understand.

Anyway, I still hope you'll attend it.

And note, your daddy has great
expectations of you.

Don't let him down.

Family does count more.

Lok-yee.

Don't tell me it's an affair!

Yan Sum is so close with Ma Jin-hung.

Logically, when Ma Jin-hung was suspected
to be related to Ma Yiu-cho's death,

Yan Sum shouldn't have hidden the truth.

So you find this a bit weird too?

As what your...

As Ho Kai-lai said...

There are suspicious points about the case.

Mandy and her girl's death could
really be related to Yan Sum.

That's just your speculation.
You have no evidence.

Why did this man take my girl to a
remote place like this?

To talk about what?

That's where Yan Sum is awesome about.

She can make something unfavourable to her

sound like she's not related at all.

Before you have solid proof, you can't
find her guilty like that.

Joe died. Sammie is now a single mom.
She's pitiable enough.

If you wrong her too...

I feel really bad I wronged her for
getting my baby killed.

I have failed her.

Why touch my daughter's shoulder?

Who is this?

Whether Yan Sum is trustworthy,
time will tell.

Don't worry. I know how to protect myself.

Let's go. Where are you going?
I'll drop you.

It's OK.

I want to stay a while.

Keep in touch.

Why tail me?

Who are you? How are you related with Chloe?

Listen, my daughter is married.

Don't mess with things or you're dead.

Uncle, that's a big misunderstanding.

Stop that. "Uncle" what?

Your daughter and I grew up together.
We're best friends.

So you've been close since you're at
the orphanage?

Lok-yee went into the orphanage
when she was eight.

From Macau to Hong Kong,

I've known her for over 20 years.

I envy you.

You could be friends with my daughter
for over 20 years.

As father, I can't even have a brief
chat with her.

Frankly, Uncle, all these years,

have you done your duties as a father?

You're nowhere to be found.

You know how Lok-yee suffered as an orphan?

Based on what can you make her
recognise you?

I know. It's my fault.

Because I was too stupid back then.

But as soon as I learnt about her
and her mother,

I tried to look for them in Macau.

But I couldn't find them.

What do you want then?

For her to recognise me, of course!

Aren't you being too selfish?

How are you related now?

You want her to acknowledge you in public?

I know it's hard.

But she need not treat me as a foe.

You know, she turns around as
soon as she sees me.

All these years since she's born...

How can she swallow it just like that?

Now, you are her good friend.

Can you do me a favour?
Put in a good word for me?

I know Chloe well. She acts strong
but she's actually soft.

Put in more effort.

Show her that you're worthy of forgiveness.

De Rossi, something urgent?

I am not in a hurry but you're too slow.

When are you ready with the next action?

I'm almost ready. Once I set off the bomb,

The Masons' stock price will dive.

Then we can sweep up the shares low.

"Almost"? What else do you still need?

There's a little issue I need to
resolve first.

My father is still in hospital in
Intensive Care.

Plus the global stock market trends...

The timing is just perfect.

What is your very little problem?

Tell me.

De Rossi...

Just give me a few days. OK?

A few more days... Fine.

Don't let me down. I'll come to you.

Marco.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Looking for me?

I just wanted to get you out for lunch.

I saw you asleep.

The soup came long ago.

What happened to the rest of those?

Let me ask them.

It's OK. Western meals are like that.

You won't get a good end urging the chef.

We had takeaway for lunch.

Thought we could eat well for dinner

but I made a wrong choice.

Sorry I waste so much of your time.

Why take this little thing on yourself?

Relax.

Sammie...

If at work I've made a wrong choice and
dragged you and the Ma's in,

would you be mad at me?

This chance is slim.

You are known to be careful at work.

I am not worried.

I am just saying "if".

If it really happened, would you not
forgive me?

If you've really made a mistake

at most it could mean a loss in money,

time or even reputation.

It shouldn't affect our friendship.

Why don't we order some wine?

OK.

Hold it, better not.

I don't want to get drunk. I need to
get up early tomorrow. Forget it.

Sorry.

Hello, Nick?

Sis, I forgot my keys.

Do you have them with you?

Even if I have the keys

I can't take them over right now.

You're not happy getting married.

Just don't do it.

Because...

I like you.
You like me.

Where?

No. Here!

No... Don't bother. No one's home.

Mom and Dad are in Macau to give
out the wedding cakes.

The key?

The key...

It hurts...

My head hurts...

Come on, get up...
