[Unexpected Falling]

[Episode 22]

I'm nothing but a housewife

with no future.

I'm just a pet

Xu Youning kept at home.

I stay home

until my brain has become dull.

I'm not smart, and I'm hopeless.

I'm just useless.

Isn't this what you're trying to say?

Ruan Zhenzhen.

You went too far.

Su Wen.

You know me best.

You should know I hate being lied to

and being used.

Give me all the documents

of Xu Youning.

I won't investigate further.

You can continue

the investigation if you want,

but please, leave me alone.

We need to sort this out.

Ruan Zhenzhen.

Miss, your bag.

Ruan Zhenzhen.

Bring the documents back

to the office.

Okay.

And then,

ask Mr. Zhang

to hold a meeting.

-Ask him... -Ruan Zhenzhen.

Don't go.

We need to sort it out.

I asked you to take up the lawsuit.

I asked you to retrace the recipients.

I studied your documents.

I asked for your bank statement.

I did all these to use you?

Is that what you're thinking?

Answer me!

Is that what you're thinking?

Just what kind of person

am I in your eyes?

Where is your good conscience?

You, of all people,

should know how I always treat you.

Ruan Zhenzhen.

Open the door.

Open up.

-Ruan Zhenzhen! -Just go now.

Okay.

Ruan Zhenzhen!

Ruan Zhenzhen!

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

She owes me an explanation.

Enough!

We'll speak inside.

Come on.

Listen to me.

Hurry.

Come on.

Come here.

This room.

Come on.

Do you know

what you were just now?

A scornful woman.

So?

First time?

Sorry.

I apologize.

Okay?

Calm down, all right?

Don't

vent your frustration on me.

It's not fair to me.

What happened between you two?

Why did you argue

with Ruan Zhenzhen?

You two were two peas in a pod.

That idiot, Ruan Zhenzhen,

bought into some naysayers

and thought I handled her case

to fulfill my other agenda.

For personal gain.

Idiot. What a fool!

Ruan Zhenzhen

sure is very naive.

Everyone can see how much

you devote yourself

to her.

Su Wen,

we're all adults here.

If you get along with her, you hang out with her.

If not, you create distance.

You know nothing.

I'm just trying to comfort you.

No offense,

but Ruan Zhenzhen and you

are not on the same page.

You can't just cling

to the sweet memories you have with her.

A non-reciprocal

relationship

will not last.

Stop it!

I'm just

defending you.

What do you know?

You don't need to defend me.

I'm happy to take care of Ruan Zhenzhen.

I'm happy to be a giver.

Okay.

You want to be a giver.

But you keep

giving.

Did she give you anything in return?

You can do better, do you know?

I can't.

I

truly can't do better.

What did Ruan Zhenzhen give me, you ask?

You asked me what she gave me.

She gave me her kidney.

That kidney is hers.

She...

She was with me when I went abroad

for the kidney transplant.

It was her kidney.

She gave me her kidney.

What did she give me, you ask?

I don't know how I'm supposed

to repay her.

She's an idiot.

She thought

I wouldn't see through her lies

and I wouldn't know.

Of course, I would know.

I'm not an idiot

like her.

Five days after the surgery,

she came to visit me even though she could barely walk.

During the dog days,

she covered herself tightly,

saying that she didn't want

to spread her cold to me.

Did she think I was stupid?

After that,

she avoids me whenever she gets changed

because she doesn't want me to see the scar.

She doesn't want me to feel like

I owe her something.

How can I not feel that way?

All right. There, there.

You two

are both idiots.

I'm not an idiot.

I'm a jerk.

But I didn't use her.

I just wanted to help her.

I could give up everything

to help her find out the truth

about Xu Youning.

How could she

accuse me of those things?

(I'm just worried that some people)

(might use their connections)

(to spread rumors)

(for their gain,)

that will be grim.

Have some water.

Do you feel better now?

You were talking about Xu Youning.

What did you find?

Can you not look at me

like that?

Forget that I asked then.

Yan Xiaowen.

Knowing your relationship with Xu Youning,

I doubt your innocence.

You'd better pray those things

did not come to harm Ruan Zhenzhen.

Otherwise, I will give you hell.

I...

Why would I frame Xu...

Why would I frame Ruan Zhenzhen?

I'm not crazy.

Give me back my bag.

Why do you need to reapply your makeup?

Your voice has already cracked.

Take leave

and rest in the hotel.

No.

I will not run away.

I won't give them the chance

to mock me.

Gao Jun, it's me.

Su Wen.

It'll be complicated otherwise.

Noted, Mr. Qiu.

Hi, Mr. Qiu.

Go first.

-Okay. -Okay.

[Chairman]

Su Wen was obviously

provoking me.

I suppose she prefers

to do it the hard way.

You mean...

Su Wen said

you love

the red velvet cake from this cafe.

Especially when you're upset.

She said to find you here

if you weren't home.

[1/2 Coffee]

Why did you fight with Su Wen?

Her investigation into Xu Youning

has put a target on her back.

I don't want her to take any risk for me.

But she has been

investigating Jinshang.

It's not her first day there.

She lied to me.

She said it was

a routine audit.

That it had nothing to do with Xu Youning.

When Fang Jianshe hinted at me today,

I realized

that Su Wen has been

investigating Xu Youning.

And she

makes them queasy.

Understandable.

Su Wen is in a unique position.

She's on the inspection team.

She has access to the confidential documents

of Jinshang

and is close to you.

She can find out

many secrets.

She just has to put

two and two together

and everything reveals itself.

Any other person

will be extra wary of her too.

So I can't

let her continue.

It's too risky.

Just look at Lu Yang.

You know

they are ruthless.

But perhaps Su Wen

can help you

find those 40 million yuan.

At the cost of her life?

I would rather

repay that 40 million debt.

You two

are trying to protect each other,

so why can't you converse properly?

You had to quarrel.

You don't know Su Wen.

She won't hesitate

to charge forward

to protect you

even after you tell her how dangerous it is.

That's why I need another way.

I hope she won't be

as headstrong this time.

I hope she can yield this time.

You two

sure are two peas in a pod.

Why don't you go in to have the cake?

You just want to sit here?

A slice of cake costs 39 yuan.

I need to wash a lot of dishes

to earn it back.

When I think about it,

the cake doesn't taste delicious anymore.

Come on, my treat.

No, thanks.

I have to work in the restaurant tonight.

I won't eat now.

Sorry

for making you come here.

You shouldn't worry about me.

I'm fine now.

Take a day off.

It's my birthday today.

Please pity a foreign traveler like me

and take a day off

to celebrate my birthday.

Can you?

I already took a day off two days ago.

My manager isn't very happy now.

Sorry

that I can't celebrate your birthday with you.

How about this?

I'll buy you a cake

as your present.

What do you say?

Never mind.

I can't have your cake.

Then,

I'll go to work now.

I'll give you a lift.

My car is over there.

Wait for me here.

That pervert

just can't stop peeking.

Go.

Back to your seat.

Ms. Wen. The documents you need.

When you weren't here during noon,

Wu Songrong

took our inspection draft

and read it.

Get back to your work.

[Ruan Zhenzhen, apologize and I'll forgive you.]

[Su Wen]

[You recalled a message.]

[Su Wen recalled a message.]

[Ruan Zhenzhen: Su Wen, stop investigating.]

[Ruan Zhenzhen: Otherwise, we're not friends anymore.]

[Su Wen: I'll think about it.]

You're on your phone now too?

Ruan.

I don't get it.

You have the look

and the body.

You can work anywhere.

Why do you

have to work here?

Where else can I work?

Give me some ideas.

I can find you a husband.

Girls like you

are in high demand.

You know,

some men just want

a pretty wife.

They don't care about anything else.

Tell me now.

Is there anything you look for in particular?

Hurry up now.

Thanks, Ms. Meng.

But I don't need a man now.

Come on, Ruan.

Just tell me.

Hey,

I found the car

under Wang Dali's name.

It's on the port.

I had a look.

The car was parked there.

For a long while, it seems.

Perhaps,

Xia Xinliang has already

left Nanzhou?

What's the matter?

Something's on your mind?

Ruan Zhenzhen again?

I see.

I

won't make a fool out of myself.

I'll leave you to drink alone.

It's your birthday today, isn't it?

16 February.

Yes, it's today.

Your father had an amazing hand

in a Mahjong game that day

and you were born.

All right.

Stop drinking alone here.

Let's go out and have fun.

Come on.

I see.

Give me your phone.

I don't have your trust at all?

Give me your phone.

I want to give you a present.

Let me use your face to unlock it.

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Ruan Zhenzhen?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Hey.

Can you hear me?

Who are you?

Why do you have this phone?

Oh,

your friend here is wasted.

He passed out on the road.

Do you know him?

If you do,

come here

and bring him back.

It's unsafe to lie on the road

this late at night.

Give him the phone.

I want to talk to him.

He passed out.

I can't wake him up.

It's impossible to talk to him.

Come and pick him up.

Give me the address.

Okay. I'll hang up now.

Where are you going?

I'll take a day off.

You...

Your shift is almost over. Why are you taking leave?

Gosh...

I can't believe this.

Why do you take leave when you're almost done?

That's not wise.

She's here.

She's here!

Are you dumb?

Anyone can call you

and lure you out.

Aren't you doing this on purpose?

After I got onto the taxi,

it dawned on me.

What dawned on you?

I'm listening.

There's no way the person

can unlock your phone.

It's for me?

What are you waiting for?

Waiting for me to snatch it?

It's for you.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

You're so stingy.

You gave me a slice of cake

as my birthday present.

And it's your favorite cake.

I can't help but wonder.

Is the cake for you

or for me?

It's still a very expensive cake.

Let's share it together.

Share?

It's mine, isn't it?

I have to have a bite too.

What are you doing?

Stop staring.

Help me.

Why is it

so windy?

Dummy. Give it to me.

Come on. Hurry.

Stay still.

Make a wish now.

Since you gave me

such a huge cake,

I will give you the wish.

You'll make the wish.

Go ahead.

My birthday wish

always comes true.

Really?

Yes.

Hurry up.

The wind will put out the candle again.

Let's blow the candle out.

Together.

What wish did you make?

Guess.

You wish me to have a happy life?

I wish

to remain pretty forever.

(My dad too.)

He's as frugal

as Grandet.

I bought a new phone

and he nagged me for six months.

Do you like the phone?

Yes.

It's good for taking selfies.

My friends don't have to worry

about my retouching skills anymore.

Accompany me to buy one too.

Ms. Wen, you want a new phone?

For a friend.

Then you can order it online.

Which model do you want?

I'll order one for you.

Can you remember all of them?

Yes.

Why are you here?

Ms. Wen.

Let's walk around

to digest the food.

Zhang.

I can go with you.

Isn't it dangerous

for a girl to take a stroll

this late at night?

Zhang.

Zhang?

You'll be safer with me by your side.

Oh, Bai, Guan.

The young ones should stay active.

Indeed.

Su Wen is more vulnerable, so she doesn't have to come.

Go rest in your room.

Mr. Songrong,

my health isn't amazing either.

Impossible.

You're healthy. You should move a bit.

Come on.

Xiyao.

Let's hang out.

Go ahead.

You can rest up.

Hello?

Sure. Where are you?

[Voice Memos]

Mr. Qiu.

Miss Su.

Have a seat.

You found a nice place.

I've stayed in this hotel for a long time,

but I have never been here.

They serve good coffee here.

You should have one.

Water will do. Thank you.

Okay. Please wait for a moment.

I don't sleep well,

so I don't drink coffee.

What a shame.

Mr. Qiu, what can I help?

Miss Su.

Have you heard about

this cliche regarding our line of work?

What cliche?

People like us

have to be very careful

with what they say.

In case someone is eavesdropping.

Some would even choose

to have conversations in a sauna.

A sauna?

Because that way, you can't hide anything.

Don't get me wrong,

Miss Su.

It's just a cliché.

Don't think too much of it.

We're like an open book to each other.

So, of course,

we won't have to take those extra measures.

However,

some gestures

are pretty much required.

Just cut to the chase.

You're straightforward, Miss Su.

In that case,

I won't beat

around the bush.

Name your price.

What price?

What can make you stop?

40 million yuan.

Can you give it to me?

It must be a joke, Miss Su.

Keen eyes.

It is indeed a joke.

Your water.

Mr. Qiu.

You didn't have to ask me

to come here.

It is out of my prerogative

how this investigation

will proceed.

And I don't get to decide

what will be revealed

and who will be implicated.

So save your breath.

Don't waste your time on me.

Also,

don't bother my friends.

Two million.

Miss Su.

Don't bite more than you can chew.

It's bad

for digestion.

Will two million yuan do?

It's a lot.

Should I thank you?

I know it's not enough.

"But it's expensive."

Let me show you a place.
