She's my sister.

If she decides to remain single,

I'll support her forever.

Poppycock!

- Shixun.
- Yes?

Is this a new scarf?

It's a gift from my patient.

It was cold in the morning,

so I put it on.

Mr. Rong's two daughters' entrance exams

are coming, right?

Why do you care?

I don't care about them,

but you.

Can't you quit that job and come home?

I can help you

get a new one

at my hospital.

You'll be free to come and go

and I'll have your back.

It's better than staying at the Rong's.

Shixun,

your scarf

has got the soft texture

of the finest wool,

but its stitches

aren't too neat.

Clearly, it's hand-knitted.

Despite the knitter's poor skills,

it's so sweet that she put it together

by hand.

And she must be well-off,

given the quality of the wool.

I've seen such design

at the Rong's.

You sound just like Mother

who can't wait to set me up with girls.

Our clinic sees patients

come with gifts every day.

I just grabbed it randomly

to keep myself warm.

I don't know anything about

its design or texture.

Maybe

that patient of mine is rich.

Shixun,

you see her as your patient,

but she might expect more from you.

Things like scarves are too personal.

Better not take them

in case you send people wrong messages

and others might gossip again.

I see your point.

I was abroad for too long

to be sensitive to such details.

If you don't like it,

I won't do that again.

I'll give the scarf back

tomorrow.

Good.

It's late.

I should go.

Sure.

Take care.

I will.

See you.

See you.

(Anqingli)

Boss.

Miss Feng.

We'd like some space.

Yes.

Try this puff pastry.

It's hot from the oven.

Wen brought it back just now.

It's good.

Are you still mad at me?

I wouldn't dare.

Look at this pastry.

A small piece of dough

had to go through kneading

and folding multiple times

before

turning into such a delicate,

crispy dessert

without tasting too sweet.

Similarly,

such a process is necessary in life

in order to succeed

without losing the balance.

Do you get

what I'm saying?

Yes.

Now that I'm finally out,

is there anything

you need me to do?

Since Rong Dingkun saw you

at his son's birthday party,

he's got

more defensive against me recently.

No,

not just recently.

He's checked you inside out.

Shizhen,

your time there will be over

after his daughters' entrance exams.

You'll have no reason to stay

at the Rong's, right?

I know.

Rong Dingkun must've found out

I'm one of the victims
of the Wenchunli Fire.

If I insist on staying

after his daughters' exams,

not only Rong Dingkun,

but Rong Jiashang
will also get suspicious.

That's why

I'll quit first.

You'll quit that job?

Yes.

Take a step back

to lower

Rong Dingkun's guard.

That's clever.

But Rong Jiashang won't be able to

have you back like he did last time.

He said

he'd start working at the company.

After that scandal
between his father and Yu Zhihui,

I bet

he's there

to take Yang Xiucheng's place

and work as

his father's right-hand man.

Alright.

Let's see how that will play out.

Good to have you here.

Mr. Rong, this is my son,
Hashimoto Taiji.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Rong.

Welcome.

Please have a seat.

Thanks.

You have a wonderful son, Mr. Hashimoto.

Miss Feng.

Xiao Yu,

what's going on out there?

They're loud.

Two Japanese men,

surnamed Hashimoto I guess,

are there with Master.

- Go back to work.
- Thanks for the tea.

Yes, Miss Feng.

I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Rong.

It's a pleasure

to have finally met you.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

The pleasure is mine.

Please have some tea.

I heard your family is in real estate.

We happen to need a bigger house.

Maybe

you can help us with it

and give us a discount.

Taiji,

stop it.

Ignore him, Mr. Rong.

He grew up in the village.

I apologize

for his rudeness.

Please forgive him.

That's fine.

We're developing a piece of land.

My son is free tomorrow.

He can show Taiji around

and see if it's to his taste.

That'd be great.

Thank you, Mr. Rong.

Why aren't you

with the guests downstairs?

I'm trying to avoid them.

Why?

To not have Mr. Hashimoto recognize

that you're his sister's ex?

So what if he does?

It was a long time ago.

Did you just come back from home?

Yes.

How are your parents?

They're doing well.

My mother asked about you.

What about your father?

Is he doing better?

He's recovering from his addiction

and his appetite is improving, too.

I'm just worried about his lungs.

That fire destroyed them.

He coughs a lot

whenever it gets cold.

I feel bad for you.

I can't imagine

how you pulled through.

We lost

everything in the fire.

My father's friends clubbed together

to pay his medical bills.

And we sacrificed farmland at home

and herbs

that hadn't been put in storage

for basic supplies.

What about your property at Wenchunli?

Did you sell it?

The ruins

are worthless

and the land is of little value.

Even so, we're the lucky ones.

At least, my brother

is a well-paid doctor

who can support us.

But most of our neighbors

went broke

because of that fire.

Sorry to hear that.

I wish we could meet earlier.

Hadn't I wasted
another year in Chongqing,

I would've been back earlier.

It's very nice of you to say that,

but

even if you had been back last year,

we might not have been able to meet.

I know.

You were a decent shop owner's daughter

while I was a notorious smuggler's son.

We wouldn't have crossed paths

in our life.

Even if we had known each other,

you wouldn't have shot a glance at me.

Jiashang.

Coming!

Go ahead.

Shizhen,

if all your suffering

was caused by my family,

what should I do?

But without all that,

would we still have met?

Good night.

Good night.

Sit.

The woman in the photo

is Meng Qingzhi.

She's that uninvited guest

(To Dingkun)
at your birthday party,

(May our love never fade. Qingzhi)
Mr. Meng, Meng Xu'an's sister.

When

she and I had to part,

she gave me a Gold Kylin as a memento.

It belonged to her family.

To save

our family business,

I had no choice

but to sell it.

Now, Meng Xu'an wants it back.

So

what do you need me to do?

It was first sold to a collector,

surnamed Zhang

and then changed hands

before it went missing.

I need you

to find it.

Are you going to return it

to Meng Xu'an?

Yes.

He's holding a grudge against me.

That Gold Kylin is the key

to settling things between us.

Better to make friends than enemies.

I'm also paving the way

for your succession.

Father,

you fear no one.

But why Meng Xu'an?

That Gold Kylin

was Miss Meng's gift to you.

You could keep or sell it as you please.

Meng Xu'an has no right

to claim it back.

That Gold Kylin

is the Mengs' family heirloom.

It's understandable

that he wants it back.

Besides, I broke up with his sister.

I owe her.

Jiashang,

I'm doing everything I can

for your benefit.

Listen,

don't mess with Meng Xu'an.

I'll clear the way for you

so that you can take over

our family business smoothly.

I understand.

I'll do my best.

By the way,

I've told the assistant manager

that Hashimoto Taiji
is looking for a house.

Go with him to the open house tomorrow.

Take care of

whatever he needs.

No need to check with me

about such things.

From now on,

it's your decision to make.

Yes.

I can't.

Please, Miss Feng.

Join us.

Mother,

can Miss Feng have breakfast with us?

Sit and eat with us.

Ms. Chen,

one more set of tableware.

Yes.

Thank you, Ma'am.

Sure.

Have a seat.

Morning, Miss Feng.

Good morning.

Have some wontons.

Thanks.

Miss Feng.

Xiao Yu.

Miss Feng,

this bouquet is for you.

It's beautiful.

I wonder who sent it.

(May I ask you out? Meng Xu'an)

Someone at Jiashang's birthday party

must have a crush on Miss Feng.

Ordinary people

can hardly afford such expensive roses.

Xiao Yu,

I have a pollen allergy.

Please put the bouquet away.

Oh.

Who is it that dare to

make a move on you?

A nobody.

(Meng Xu'an)

Meng Xu'an?

That name sounds familiar.

Him?

Miss Feng is allergic to flowers.

Get rid of them.

Yes.

Thanks, Xiao Yu.

Are you going out, Jiashang?

McTyeire School for Girls' exam
is in two days.

Can you

give us and Miss Feng a ride

to the exam room?

Yunchi and I are going to

the open house with Mr. Hashimoto.

You can come

if you don't mind.

I'll drive you to the exam room

after we're done.

Finish your breakfast

- and go with them.
- Yes.

Take your time.

I'll wait for you outside.

What are you going to say
to Rong Dingkun once you get back?

If I leave him,

even if he doesn't kill me,

he'll destroy me.

I won't be able to survive in Shanghai.

There are many other cities.

Our family is opening
a second bank in Guangzhou.

Join me

and I'll protect you.

What can I do?

To be your kept man?

Your father will probably make me
assistant manager again.

I worked for the Rongs for so long.

He won't trust me

or give me anything important to do.

What do you have in mind then?

Break off your engagement
to Rong Jiashang

and marry me.

Once I'm part of your family,

I'll have your father's trust.

Easier said than done.

That so-called engagement

is no more than

a quid pro quo.

Once it's over,

so will our cooperation with the Rongs.

I've been obedient for two decades.

What's in it for me

that I suddenly act against my father

for a man?

Besides,

we'll have to pay for the damage

if I cancel the agreement.

I won't look good at all.

So what's the point of this discussion?

Can you make Rong Jiashang
a mere figurehead?

I'm not sure.

He might be new

to business,

but he's smart

and hardworking.

It's not easy to fool him.

But...

But what?

He wished to join the army

but got stopped by Rong Dingkun

and had to come back to be his heir.

Serving the country

is admirable.

Unlike his father,

I'll support him

to pursue his dream as his wife.

As for the family business,

there's still you, the deputy.

I doubt if that old fox,

Rong Dingkun,

will give me that position.

Don't worry.

He'll pass everything he has

to Rong Jiashang sooner or later.

You just need to

foster your own cohorts bit by bit.

Once you're strong enough

and Rong Dingkun and my father

are too old to manage,

I'll divorce Rong Jiashang.

Then

we'll be in charge

of both families.

Enough about that.

If we can't think of a better way,

just live in the moment.

You look stunning, Fanghua.

Miss Feng,

you're making me blush.

I'll sure Mr. Wu's eyes

will be fixated on you.

I agree.

Miss Feng!

Fanghua,

you look so different and gorgeous.

Did you go to a new beauty salon?

What's its name?

Tell me

and I'll recommend it
to the ladies in our house.

Yunchi,

knock it off!

If you think Fanghua is pretty,

just say it.

What's it got to do with a beauty salon?

Fanghua isn't their model.

Right.

Sorry. My bad.

I'm too attracted

to think straight.

Are you going with them, Miss Feng?

- Yes.
- Yes.

McTyeire School for Girls' exam
is in two days.

Jiashang said we could come along

to go to the exam room.

Jiashang,

I hope this isn't too much trouble.

Uh...

Shiori!

Jiashang.

What brings you here?

My father asked me to join you.

I hope you don't mind.

Of course not.

You're our friend,

right, Jiashang?

I know you're looking for a house

for your family.

I don't have a problem with that.

This way, please.

Miss Hashimoto just can't let you go.

I think

she's better than Lanxin.

Enough.

Speaking of family influence,

the Hashimotos

might be bigger.

If we had you two met earlier,

you wouldn't have had to...

I said enough.

What am I?

An item to the highest bidder?

Yunchi,

can I ride with you?

Sure. Go ahead.

Please.

Looks like

your two sisters

favor Miss Hashimoto.

She's even better

a people pleaser

than Du Lanxin.

Jiashang,

can we go now?

Coming.

Please.

I had a rough night

and I'm too tired to drive.

You do it.

Yes.

(Wing On Department Store)

Are you alright?

Can you slow down?

I'm a bit sick.

Yes, Miss Hashimoto.

Jiashang,

I remember you
telling me a lot about Shanghai

and saying
you'd tour me around the city.

Now,

it's happening.

That was a joke.

I left home at about ten.

I could barely remember

everything here.

Why weren't you happy when seeing roses

from that Meng guy?

I was happy.

Every girl loves roses.

Too bad,

I just told the butler

to reject all the flowers

from that guy.

I can tell him to take them

once we get back.

I work for you

and shall obey all your orders.

It's up to you

whether you want me to take them or not.

I don't need those flowers anyway.

Meng Xu'an is a deep one.

He's up to something.

You'd better stay away from him.

If you like flowers,

I can bring you some every day.

How does that sound?

By knocking at my door

and hanging them on the doorknob?

That seems to be

your only trick.

I...

You said Mr. Meng is up to something.

But I don't have anything he wants.

He's drooling over your beauty.

My beauty?

Yeah.

You're no better than him

in that regard.

I... I...

What is it that you're talking about?

Can you share it with me?

It's about Miss Du.

Jiashang meant to prepare a special gift

to please his fiancée

and asked me about it.

Oh.

That's how sweet he is.

He always spoils

girls he likes.

Miss Hashimoto,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

Don't move.

What's wrong?

Your hair got tied up to my button.

Is it out?

All good now.

Mr. Jiashang,

here it is.

(Wenchunli)

Why are we here?

Uh...

Where are we?

Jiashang, is there a problem?

Wenchunli is

on the schedule arranged by your father.

I'm taking you here as he said.

Say no more!

Let's go!

Then...

Are we skipping this area?

We're here already.

It won't hurt to take a look.

Besides,

isn't Miss Hashimoto

going house-hunting?

There you are, Mr. Jiashang.

No wonder it clears up.

This place is still under construction.

Sorry about the mess.

This is our family's property?

How about

I show you around

first?

The location here is the best.

We've got

stores on the outside

and western-style villas inside.

I'm interested in those villas.

Good choice, Miss.

There's one

at the southeast corner

designed by a foreign architect.

It is

spacious with a terrific view.

Sounds nice. Lead the way.

Sure. No problem.

Please, Mr. Jiashang.

Let's go.

Sure.

It's fine if you don't want to go.

The driver can take you back.

Does your family own this land?

We bought it

when it was sold cheap.

When that wharf

turns into a private port,

business here will explode.

Just like that fire

exploded the sky.

(Be Alert Be Careful)

(Safety First Beware of Danger)

Stop.

Don't go near it.

It's too dangerous.

The ruins might fall anytime.

My safety isn't your concern.

If they cave in on you,
I'll have to get you out.

So yes, I'm concerned.

I don't need you.

We lost our house,

yet here you are

building new ones

and making a fortune.

Now what?

I can't even look at our old place?

Shizhen,

nothing is there.

Yes, there is.

You just can't see it.

Don't go inside.

Let go of me!

I'm sorry,

Shizhen.

I got back from Nanjing on the third day

after the fire upon receiving the news.

Back then,

we still had money in the safe.

When I came to look for it,

our neighbors

were rifling through

piles and piles of ruins

to find corpses of their family.

They were all burned

beyond recognition.

I'm so sorry.

Where's Jiashang?

He's supposed to show you around

but he's gone.

He must be caught up with something.

It's fine.

I still have you two with me.

Jiashang, where were you?

That villa is fantastic!

Inside is...

Fanglin.

Let's go.

Sure.

Master,

what's changed your mind?

We had a deal

that you'd find a perfect match for Wan.

How come

you're marrying her to some Guo?

I know that family.

They're so poor

that the ladies have to
patch clothes themselves.

They'll ruin Wan's life

and use up her dowries

to support themselves.

Enough!

Their ancestor was a provincial graduate
back in the Qing Dynasty.

His descendants are dependable.

I don't care who their ancestor was.

Wan is my brother's only daughter.

She's just turned 14.

You could've found her a better man.

How could you

let her jump into the fiery pit?

Master is marrying her up

for the sake of your family.

How could you blame him?

If you like that family so much,

why not marry your own daughter to them?

Nonsense.

She's a Rong.

- Just stop, both of you.
- Right?

Knock it off.

I've made my decision, period.

The Guos are a decent family.

Isn't it better to be Mrs. Guo
than a concubine?

Listen,

I'm not done with you about Shaoqing.

Just because you have a son

doesn't mean you can challenge me.

You're still a concubine

in this house.

You heard him.

You're merely

a concubine here.
