Far Away LoveEpisode 29

Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Thank you, Charity Director for your speech.

I hope that the donations obtained from this auction today will be able to help more people.

Next, we'll officially start the auction.

Let's introduce our first auction item.

It's a ruby pendant from Myanmar.

If you like anything, just tell me. I'll buy it as a gift for you.

As long as you can donate more money, it's okay to buy anything.

35,000 Yuan.

35,000 Yuan, is there anyone who wants to counter that offer?

They really don't blame me anymore?

I was driven away by them numerous times in the past.

Rest assured this time. We've already agreed on this meeting

They won't drive you away again. Okay already.

Hurry and go in. They must be already waiting for you.

Aiya... I...

How about this, I won't hang up,

I'll stay with you all the way until you see them. Okay?

Okay.

Why did you just get here now? I was just about to look for you.

Is she... smiling at me?

Yes. She's smiling at you.

Let's go.

Is there anyone who wants to increase the offer? Gentleman No. 7 bids 70,000 Yuan.

70,000 Yuan. 70,000 Yuan.

Is there anyone who wants to increase the offer? Gentleman No. 8 bids 75,000 Yuan.

75,000 Yuan.

President Shen, the next one will be the auction item that you previously said you're interested in.

And also, the fresh flowers and music that you requested are also ready.

Going three times. Sold.

Mr. Zhan, why have you come out? Let's go back in now.

Ms. Meng...

Mr. Zhan, you said that you have something to tell me.

But the two us have been sitting here for quite a long time already and you still haven't said anything.

I really don't understand.

If you really can't say it, how about let's just meet some other time?

If I still don't go in, Shen An will be worried.

Ms. Meng, I knew you a little earlier than President.

In your eyes, I might be a strict, harsh, and unreasonable person.

No. I actually can understand you very well.

Everything that you did was all for Shen An and the Chairwoman's sake.

I entered the Shen family from the time when I was still in my teens.

In the beginning, I worked under the Chairwoman.

But since President entered Shen Group, I followed Chairwoman's request to work under President and help him,

assist him. So many years have already passed since then.

The Shen family are like my own family.

I don't care how outsiders look at me

because Chairwoman and President are living well and their lives are smooth-sailing. This is my mission.

Following Chairwoman's instructions, I've been tightly guarding a secret all along.

Regarding this secret, I neither dare to seek confirmation with you about it, nor tell the President about it.

Based on Chairwoman's analysis, regarding this matter,

you and President are most likely still unaware of it.

Because if you knew about this, you'd definitely seek out the Chairwoman,

while if President knew about it, he will also definitely cause more havoc than he already has.

That's why Chairwoman won't let me say it no matter what.

And also, she's worried too that because of this matter,

you will extort more from the Shen family.

Of course, after such a long time of interaction and observation,

I feel that you're not the kind of woman that Chairwoman thinks you are.

You and our President are truly in love.

So, from the looks of it, the plan of wanting to drive you away

while forever keeping this thing a secret, is not plausible.

It's better to get the pain over and done with, rather than prolonging the agony.

Before you and our President get deeper in your relationship, and to decrease the pain that it will cause you,

I think that it's better, to tell the truth early.

Mr. Zhan, don't scare me.

I... I don't quite get what you mean. What do you mean?

Actually, it's very simple. You'll get it in two sentences.

First, when Shen Group came back to China to expand its market,

in order to produce a traditional and classical image,

our President has always asked people to call him by his Chinese name, Shen An.

But before this, he had always used his English name, Marvin.

Second sentence. President has a past that he constantly thinks about. You should know a little about that too.

Actually, this story happened 15 years ago.

So many years have passed,

because of the pain, our President has been unwilling to mention that girl's name all these years.

This story's leading lady is called...

called Meng Chen Shuang.

What's her name?

What's her name?

Meng Chen Shuang.

Sorry. You must stay calm.

After all, at that time you were still young, it's unlikely that you knew clearly what was going on.

It was clear.

Very clear.

Ms. Meng...

Ms. Meng...

♫ We're all afraid of loneliness ♫

♫We all want emancipation♫

♫Since the beginning, ♫

♫ we've seriously thought of living together ♫

♫ We're all afraid of falling ♫

♫ Falling into the desert of love ♫

♫Using wandering as an excuse to escape the shackles of the heart♫

♫ The heart that wants to love is searching ♫

♫No matter how far the distance is♫

Mom! Mom!

Chen Shuang is back.

Daughter's Father, Chen Shuang is back.

Dad!

- Was it quite crowded in the train?- It was okay.

Sister!

Chu Xia...

You're really growing more and more beautiful.

Go. Let's go inside. I've bought you some new clothes.

Come. Come, let me help you, Mom.

Such a big fish.

Hurry and sit.

Thank you, Mom.

Which day will you be leaving this time around?(The day she's referring to is which day of the Lunar New Year, which is 15 days long)

Probably on the 3rd.

Mom, you don't know. A hotel business is not like other businesses.

The nearer it is to the holiday period, the busier it gets.

Do you really have to stay at that Qingdao place and be some restaurant head? What's good about that?

I think that you should just come back and work here.

No, dad. Why are you starting again?

Didn't I already tell you before that place has my dream.

Dream?

Tell us honestly.

You've already graduated but you opt to still stay at Qingdao.

Do you have a boyfriend there?

Can't I be simply staying there... just for my career?

You can have a career anywhere. You're a girl.

Staying alone in such a far place.

Can't you think about how worried your family is?

No... say, for so many years, since I was little, nothing's really happened to me. Aren't I just fine?

If you wait for something to happen to you, then it'll be too late already.

Aren't I just fine now?

Enough already. Really...

The two of you just fight when you get together.

The two of you have the same attitude.

Chu Xia, seeing them like this, you're getting worried again, aren't you?

What's there to argue about?

Sister, eat this.

This...

Why is there... fish in the pancake?

Mom, how come Chu Xia still likes to make these kinds of things?

Since this kid was little, she's been watching you and your dad arguing nonstop,

and has been so scared that she's gentler than anyone.

Her only hobby is mixing up these things.

Just make do and eat a little.

I'll eat. I'll eat.

Hello?

Oh, it's me.

Marvin?

Right. I... I just arrived home.

What? You're here?

Okay. I understand.

Then, see you tomorrow.

Okay. Goodbye.

Who's that?

A friend. He said that he'll come here tomorrow and has asked me to show him around.

Male or female? What's his name?

Starting to do background investigations again.

It's a boy. His name is... just call him Mawen.

He specially came here to visit you, didn't he?

How about this. Let's ask that Mawen to come to our house tomorrow and have a meal. How's that?

No, Mom. That's so inappropriate.

What? Aren't you guys friends? We can't see him?

- Fine. Fine. Then he'll come our home to eat. Mom, make more dishes then.- Sure.

Daughter's Dad, I'll go to the market now.

Don't know what dishes that Xiao Ma likes to eat?

Buy a roasted chicken.

Sure. Looks like you care quite a bit about your daughter's boyfriend.

You won't be nagging her to come back here to work anymore, will you?

Dad. Will my sister really be staying there?

Because of that man that will be coming our house tonight?

If he's an honest man and your sister is willing to stay with him, then let her stay.

Hello. May I ask if this Miss Meng Chen Shuang's home?

Chen Shuang is out. I'm her dad.

So it's Mr. Meng. Hello. Hello.

I know that Miss Chen Shuang is not home.

This time, I specially came to visit you.

My name is James.

This is a small New Year's gift that our Chairwoman wanted to give to your family.

Or course, Chinese are very particular about returning politeness with politeness. If from now on, Miss Chen Shuang

will stop pestering our young master, then our Chairwoman will be very grateful.

What did you say earlier?

How old is that Mawen?

He'll just be turning 18 come this summer.

Mr. Meng, you can also understand. For a man at his age, it's easy to be infatuated

with women like Miss Chen Shuang, who are a couple years older.

Having a big argument with his family for so-called love

is not some rare thing and it's also quite natural.

But for a mature and rational woman like Miss Chen Shuang,

to obstinately persist in this foolishness and not let go...

This... this makes it very hard for us.

Take it away! Even without this money,

our Chen Shuang will not have the least bit of contact with that Mawen anymore!

Take it away!

It's the New Year and he came here to see you.

Their family even brought money and came to our house.

It's already like that and you still claim that you two are just ordinary friends?

Let me tell you. Don't even talk about eating at the same table.

He's not even allowed to take a single step through this door!

Mom, who are you calling?

What? Are you making a call to Qingdao again?

So what if I am. Our daughter hasn't been home for almost a year already.

You don't miss her one bit?

Why are you so heartless?

It was her who wanted to go with that lad.

She's much more heartless than we are.

Sister?

Dad, Mom, Chu Xia... I'm back.

Chu Xia, go back to your room. I'll just have a talk with your sister.

The baby has already fallen asleep?

Chen Shuang...

Say, you've been back for two days already but you won't tell me anything.

How did this child really come about?

Was it because Mawen doesn't want this child?

Don't mention that person.

And also don't mention his family.

I don't want to hear even one word about them.

Mom, just remember this. This child only has a mother and no father.

It's not that I'm blaming you. But regarding this matter, you are responsible as well.

Mawen's so young and their family's so rich,

how could the two of you end up together?

Does being rich give them the right to harm me and get me into such a state?

Miss Chen Shuang, our Chairwoman would like to talk with you privately.

What are you doing?

She's already like this. What's there to talk about still?

Mom... it's fine. I'll be back soon.

The other party is all a bunch of heartless people. How could you have let her go alone?

Mr. and Mrs. Meng! Mr. and Mrs. Meng! Please wait for a while.

Please let our Chairwoman have a short, private talk with Miss Chen Shuang, will you?

What's there to talk about? If you guys want to talk, talk with me. Hurry and tell my daughter to come out.

If there's anything, I'll deal with it!

I'd die before I give him to you! I won't give him to you no matter how much money you give!

Sorry to disturb you.

They said that I won't be able to raise this child.

They want to take the child away.

Let's move.

Move? Move where?

Do you still remember that Da Zhuang from our car shop?

The one who went abroad several years ago? He opened a shop in the city outskirts.

A few days ago, he kept calling me to get in touch. I didn't pay much attention to it.

But looking at it now, it's also an option.

Then we'll be completely leaving this land where we've lived for almost half our lives.

Don't inform the neighbors that we're moving out.

I don't believe that Mawen and his family can continue pestering us.

- We have troubled you.- No. No.

Here.

Go in.

From now on, this shall be our new home.

You can't sleep again?

Did I wake you up? I'll just go outside.

Don't. If Mom and Dad hear it, they'll get sad.

- Sister, have you already thought of a name for him?- I have.

He'll be called Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang?

Previously, at a distant place,

I once had an insignificant dream.

But... thanks to that family, I have to give it up too.

From now on, my dream will only be him.

In the past, even when the big kids bullied you, you never cried.

Even when your foot got rolled over by a bicycle, you also didn't cry.

No matter how much you and dad fought, you also never cried.

But right now, tears keep falling from your eyes.

Sister, I especially hate that family.

Next, it's the third item to be auctioned today.

It's a Colombian 4.2 karat emerald, inlaid with platinum.

It's uniqueness is in the fact that it's the wedding ring of our charity organization's founder, Ms. Calloway.

60 years ago, Mr. Calloway put this ring on his wife's finger.

I believe that a ring that's so romantic will definitely bring you guys good luck.

Our initial opening bid is 80,000 Yuan.

Are there any offers?

Are there any offers? Gentleman No.9 bids 85,000 Yuan.

105,000 Yuan.

150,000 Yuan.

Gentleman No. 6 bids 150,000 Yuan.

He must be buying it for Chu Xia.

Is there anyone countering that bid?

Enough already. Even if you win and he isn't able to buy this ring,

- wouldn't he just buy another ring to give to Meng Chu Xia?- No. 9,

155,000 Yuan. 155,000 Yuan.

Auntie, I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first.

Is there anyone countering the offer? 160,000 Yuan.

160,000 Yuan, once.

160,000 Yuan, twice.

Didn't you say that the party will end after 2 hours?

Then I'll go there now. Please wait half an hour.

Half an hour?!

I don't want to stay here even a second longer!

Hello, where do you want to go?

I don't know either where to go.

Do you want to go home?

Home? There's only me at home.

How about I take you to a friend?

Friend?

Other than Brother Shen, I don't have any other friends.

Friend?

Friend.

Hello? Where are you?

No. 7 bids 165,000 Yuan.

165,000 Yuan.

200,000 Yuan going twice!

200,000 Yuan, three times...! Sold!

Congratulations to Gentleman No. 6 for getting this precious emerald ring!

Where did this James go to?

President Shen, do you want to start now?

Why isn't she back yet?

I would like to take this chance to borrow a few minutes of everyone's precious time.

Everyone knows that I and my wife had a low-key wedding some time ago.

But in reality, I still owe her a romantic proposal.

Today, I hope that with everyone as our witness,

I'll put on this ring on my wife, Meng Chu Xia's, finger.

Good! Good!

Good!

Chu Xia, are you willing to put on this ring and join hands with me for the rest of our lives.

Kneel! Kneel! Kneel! Kneel!

It's very painful, right?

I suddenly remembered that there's one thing that I seemed to have never told you.

You only knew that the person I called 'that person' is my sister.

But you don't know her name.

I'll tell you now.

She's called Meng Chen Shuang.

Meng... Meng... Chen Shuang?

Then Meng Xiang...

That's right. He's your son.

I hope that you can clearly remember this name.

Just now, on my way back here, I thought of countless malicious words.

But right now, I don't want to say anything anymore.

If in your heart, you still have a bit of guilt towards that person,

then from now on... please don't appear in front of us again.

Chen Shuang...

Chen Shuang...

Hello. May I ask if I can help you with anything?

I...

Initially, I wanted to say that there's something wrong with the flavor of this mincemeat.

But now I want to... I want to ask for your number, is that okay?

♫ Lontano (far away)... you're like smoke that's gradually dissipating ♫

♫ Lontano... ♫

♫ You're like smoke that's gradually dissipating ♫

♫ The distance between us is getting more and more far ♫

♫ The past will soon be forever stored in our memories. ♫

♫ Suddenly your face became so clear ♫

Chu Xia!

Chu Xia!

Were my words not clear enough? Don't look for me anymore.

I will give you back the house as soon as I can, but I'm too tired today.

Let me temporarily stay for one more night. Is that okay?

Sure.

But can you hear me explain first?

What else is there to say?

Although I and Chen Shuang...

But what happened to her afterwards? I heard that she got married.

Is she living well?

Why didn't Meng Xiang go with her?

You're asking me? Who am I to ask?

Okay. There's also no big deal if I tell you about it.

After moving, my sister put all her strength in working.

Even taking multiple jobs at the same time.

Earning money day and night, without rest.

This situation continued for more than 5 years.

English 127

Mom, hurry and write 127.

There's only humanities that's left.

249...

Mom, success! 249!

Chu Xia! You're so great!

- Mom.- Sister!

Chen Shuang, your sister's college entrance exam grades are out.

Getting into the University of Finance and Economics is no problem.

Really?

Chu Xia, I just knew that you could do it!

Meng Xiang, give Auntie an applause.

Auntie's so great!

I'll go the hospital and tell your dad. He hasn't been in a good mood these past days.

I'll tell him this news and let him be happy.

Mom, tell my dad that it's fine even if he has to use a wheelchair from now on.

Chu Xia has already grown up. Both of us are here.

No need for him to worry too much anymore.

- Okay.- Right.- Then I'll get going now.

Okay. Okay.

I'll go get you some food.

I won't be eating. I'll be meeting a customer in a while. I'm in a rush to leave.

Sister, look how thin you are now.

Why must you work this hard?

I want to let you and Meng Xiang go to the best schools,

and enjoy the best that life has to offer.

This way, you guys won't be bullied just because of your family background.

The wheel of fortune rotates.

Who knows, one day, Meng Xiang will be able to stand in front of that family instead,

and ferociously take revenge for me.

My sister is entirely different from me.

You should know how headstrong she is, don't you?

Even how your family treated her in Qingdao, she never mentioned a word about it.

This kind of person...

what kind of insult and grievance did she suffer because of your family?

This hate... became her only reason to continue living.

Afterwards, my sister went to Qingdao again because of her work.

My parents were both so worried.

Afraid that she would meet people from your Shen family again.

It was only then that she told us

that your home isn't in Qingdao.

But other than that, she didn't say anything more.

If at that time, she could have said just a little bit more,

if at that time, she could have told me that Mawen is an English name and that your surname is Shen,

then maybe a farce like this wouldn't be happening.

Chu Xia...

During that business trip, indeed, she didn't meet any of you.

But instead, she gave our family a very big shock.

Chen Shuang, you said that you're marrying him?

Right. We fell in love at first sight.

Meng Chen Shuang!

Michael, wait for me first outside.

Child, he looks like he's around the same age as us.

He's older than my dad by two years.

But I don't care.

He's an American. If I marry him, then I'll have US citizenship.

What? You're going to the States?

I have this chance, so why won't I go?

He loves me very much. He'll be good to me.

You guys just met for several days. How can you say it's love?

He's good to you because you're young and beautiful.

Can he be good to Meng Xiang?

Meng Xiang...

I won't be able to take Meng Xiang with me.

Meng Xiang, let's go back to our room, okay?

Michael already said, that he can only accept me,

but he can't accept my child with another man.

Chen Shuang, she... why did she...

Why did it turn out like this?

She shouldn't be that kind of person.

At that time, I didn't understand either.

Until the first time I arrived here.

Why did you bring me here?

Are you really leaving us and going to the States alone?

This will be your and Meng Xiang's home.

W-w-what?

Chu Xia, you will be studying at the University of Finance and Economics soon.

Meng Xiang will also be entering elementary school here in the city.

I've saved up some money from working these past years and have paid this house's deposit.

From now on, you guys just rest easy and live here.

We...

The remaining money is all here.

Our family's living expenses are huge, tuition fee, medical bills, and daily expenses,

and also the loan for this house, none of these are small pressures.

Please don't feel that this house is a burden and then sell it.

This the only thing that I can leave to you and Meng Xiang.

Once in the States, I will frequently deposit money into this account for you guys.

Sister... why do you have to do this?

Meng Xiang is just 5 years old.

Can you really bear to leave him on his own?

What do you know?

I worked so hard for so many years and was only able to save this much money.

Wanting Meng Xiang to be able to lift his head up high in front of Marvin and his family when he grows up is totally impossible.

Only when I go to the US, will I be able to have the chance to earn big bucks,

and enable Meng Xiang to live a totally different life.

Rather than being an incapable mom who stays by his side daily,

I'd rather let him be lonely but have a brilliant and magnificent future.

Why must you be this competitive?

Moreover, you doing this, isn't it too cruel to Meng Xiang?

My staying is the thing that would be cruelest to him.

The reason why my sister did that is because of her hatred towards your Shen family.

Since she went to the States, she's never came back,

and even rarely calls home.

Although she regularly deposits money, the amount hasn't been much.

It can be seen that her plan to earn big bucks in the States isn't going very smoothly.

But she, who was always eager to do well, isn't willing to come back to face us.

Aren't all these tragedies the doing of your Shen family?

I had always thought that she was living blissfully.

That year, after Chen Shuang left Qingdao, my movements got restricted by my mom.

Afterwards, when I tried looking for her again, your whole family had already moved.

I asked someone to continue inquiring about Chen Shuang's whereabouts.

After a few years, I finally got some news saying that she had married an American guy.

That time... I assumed that Chen Shuang must have brought her child with her when she married.

What are you saying?

Inquiring about news of her? Setting one's mind at rest?

That's acting a little too lightly, isn't it?

Shouldn't you have tried much harder to find my sister in order to repent and take responsibility for her?

But Chen Shuang said... that she didn't want to see me again for the rest of her life.

Didn't I also tell you earlier that I didn't want to see you, but didn't you still chase after me?

You just wanted to run away from your responsibilities back then.

You didn't dare raise this child together with my sister.

No. I really wanted to raise Meng Xiang with her.

But...

Chu Xia... I don't want to explain anymore about what happened 15 years ago.
