[Episode 21]

Mr. Liu, well,

when would you have time to come out for a chat?

An already applied commercial loan cannot be converted to a combined loan.

It can only be converted into a provident fund loan.

Right, that depends on whether the balance in your provident fund account is sufficient.

Rest assured, I won't force you to buy.

Right, please listen.

If you feel it's suitable, accept it.

It doesn't matter if it's not suitable.

That would certainly be more cost-effective than a commercial loan, okay?

You see, you and Mr. Ji are fellow townsfolk.

You both come from the same town.

If it comes to that,

you are actually Mr. Ji's elder, aren't you?

Okay, let's do it these next few days.

Alright, we'll see each other in a couple of days.

Bye-bye.

Xiaoning,

the way you're making calls now

is exactly like someone.

I don't feel like you are like me at all.

That Zhao…

What's the matter?

I'm just gathering the best from all quarters.

Getting chummy, as long as I can get the client to meet up with us.

That makes sense.

Comrades, the salary has been issued.

Finance is urging everyone to confirm the receipt of payments.

Sign your name and get the payslip.

Good thing. Ms. Rao, I'll collect it for you.

What is our relationship that you help me collect it?

Don't you know what our relationship is?

What?

A creditor-debtor relationship.

Okay, I understand.

Some debts can be dragged out.

Some debts can't.

I'll go collect it right away.

Tang, why don't you go?

I'll go after I finish this task.

Salaries are out, need to sign for the payslip.

Help me collect it, would you?

That's not very appropriate.

Mr. Ji has authorized it.

[Finance Department]

[Tu Xiaoning]

It's signed.

Sign here for the proxy collection.

Okay.

[Star City Sub-branch Salary Receipt Confirmation] [Tu Xiaoning]

Here, for Ji Yuheng.

Thank you.

Why are you collecting my senior's payslip?

Jing just sent me a WeChat message asking for a little help.

What's wrong?

No wonder. I knew you weren't that close to him.

Tang Yuhui, come here.

[Dairui Bank]

[Rao Jing transferred 18,000 yuan to you]

Mr. Zhao, the money has been transferred to you.

From now on, we're clear both personally and financially.

[Zhao Fanggang transferred 18,000 yuan to you]

What do you mean? The money has been transferred back.

I accompanied you for drinks in Xihai Town.

I cooked for you over the New Year and changed your tires for you.

I brought you breakfast and made your coffee.

No interest required for these?

That's a steep price hike.

Right.

Just tell me how much, I will transfer to you.

What do you mean? Accepting it so quickly.

You're not happy I'm returning your money?

I was forced to lend the money.

And I'm forced to take it back when it's being returned.

Why am I always the one who is forced?

I disagree.

What do you want to do?

You return it when I ask you to.

Now that the money is transferred to you, I'm still your creditor.

A creditor will exercise the creditor's rights. Accompany me for a meal.

I can't.

You know I have no bottom line when it comes to getting things done.

What if everyone accidentally finds out about this?

Your authority as Ms. Rao would be undermined.

I am not afraid of that.

I don't know if you're afraid.

But my ability to exaggerate and stir the pot

is something you are aware of.

If you want to complicate this simple matter,

you can give it a try.

Well, Mr. Zhao,

you really went out of your way to invite me to dinner.

Are you sick or something?

I am sick, very sick.

Is it wrong for a sick person to want your company for a meal?

What illness? Is it contagious?

It's not contagious.

Then let's eat.

Take a bite, slowly, don't scald yourself.

How is it? Does it taste the same as what you make?

It's different.

It tastes even better than mine.

Mom, you're too mischievous.

I was wondering

if it's too salty or too bland.

Or maybe it's undercooked.

It's delicious.

Xiaoning, you've really worked hard these past few days.

Coming to the hospital every day, fussing over me.

You even made a meal of dumplings today. You must be exhausted.

I'm not tired at all.

You seem to be getting better day by day.

I'm too happy to express.

We'll eat later.

Okay, just leave it here for now.

Mom, guess what, Yuheng got his salary.

I sneakily took a peek.

There was a large sum of money.

We can go for a luxury road trip.

Really?

Mom, where would you like to go?

Let's go on a road trip. I'll take you out for fun.

That's great.

Yuheng should be back by now, right?

Someone from bed No. 15, come out to get some sheets.

It should be tomorrow afternoon.

He'll be back from his business trip.

I'll come with him to pick you up from the hospital.

Okay.

Xiaoning, I can eat by myself.

You take a rest. You've been busy all day.

Take a nap.

I'm really not tired.

If you eat by yourself, that's fine.

I'm going to wash some dishes. I'll be back soon.

Be careful not to scald yourself when eating.

Xiaoning,

these dumplings are really delicious.

Thank you.

Hello. How did the contract signing go?

Did everything go smoothly?

The contract has been confirmed with their finance and legal departments.

So the signing process went very smoothly.

Good.

Flying with Nanbei Airlines,

passengers of flight number 163, please note the ticket inspection.

Are you at the airport?

Yes, I bought the ticket right after I finished my work.

I can reach Star City tonight.

Mom was just mentioning you. She said she missed you.

She would be very happy to know you are coming back tonight.

Alright, we'll see each other when I arrive tonight.

Okay, have a safe trip.

Okay.

Let's go and take a look.

Excuse me.

Mom!

Family members, please come outside.

I know, I just want to take a glance at her.

- Don't interfere with patient resuscitation. - Sorry.

My mom must be scared.

Mom…

- Family members, please stay outside. - Mom, what's wrong?

- Don't interfere with patient resuscitation. - Mom.

Mom, Yuheng will be back soon.

Let me in. Mom.

I'm sorry, we've done our best.

Doctor, please try to save her again.

- Please remain calm. - Is it okay?

Her son will be back shortly.

Don't give up, Doctor.

What are you doing? Let go of me!

- Doctor. - Stay calm.

I can't stay calm.

How can I stay calm?

Mom.

Mom, Yuheng will be back soon.

Mom, can you wait for him a bit longer?

How do you expect me to explain this to him?

[Renji Hospital]

Xiaoning.

Mom.

Mom.

Xiaoning, it's okay. I'm here.

Mom, how could this happen so suddenly?

She was fine during the day today.

Her spirits were good.

My mother-in-law even said the dumplings I made were delicious.

She was talking and laughing with me.

She kept asking me when Yuheng would come back.

Mom, she was fine when we went back to our hometown a couple of days ago.

It was all my fault.

It happened just while I was out washing dishes.

If I hadn't gone out to wash the dishes,

this wouldn't have happened to her.

No, it was not your fault.

- It's okay. - No.

She was just asking me when Yuheng would return.

Mom, do you think my mother-in-law had a premonition?

She just wanted to see her son for one last time.

But she didn't get that last chance.

I won't know how to explain it to Yuheng when he returns.

How am I supposed to tell him?

It's okay, everything's alright.

Mom.

Ji.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm back.

I'm sorry.

[Memorial Hall]

[Loving Mother Wu Ting's Memorial Hall]

[Solemnly Mourning Ms. Wu Ting]

Come on.

Mom, my aunt has come to see you.

[Condolences]

Aunt, my mom often thought about you.

She must be very happy that you came.

Your mom had a hard life.

She only just had a few days of happiness.

Here, Aunt.

You should take good care of yourself.

Come on, this way.

- Ji. - Dad, Mom.

That's about it. It's all done.

See if there's anything else we need to do.

That's all, you've worked hard too.

We are one family, no need for formalities.

Just tell us if you need anything.

You must be tired after the whole day.

Take some time to rest well.

Dad, Mom, you go rest as well.

Xiaoning, restrain your grief.

Qi Yu and I will go buy some food.

I know you don't have an appetite right now.

But you can't let your health collapse.

What would Ji Yuheng do if your health failed?

I know.

This is what I give you as your master.

Here, take this. Restrain your grief.

Jing, I…

My relationship with Mr. Ji…

Alright, don't say it. I know everything.

I should have known I can't hide anything from you.

I had guessed that there was something between you.

But I didn't realize it had gone this far.

Actually, not really.

Last time when I visited Mr. Ji's mother in the hospital,

I already knew it.

I saw that you were quite close to your mother-in-law.

With her passing away, you must be very sad.

It's okay.

Take care, okay?

I'm leaving.

Where is everyone?

- They left. - Everyone has left?

If you have something to say, just say it.

I wanted to invite you for afternoon tea.

With such a big incident at the Ji family,

it's not appropriate for us to go out and have fun.

What's inappropriate about it?

The dead are dead. The living must continue to live.

I understood this principle a long time ago.

I understood it the moment I no longer had parents.

You were so little.

Handling the affairs of a parent's passing was quite difficult.

It's been too long. I don't remember anymore.

Well, Mr. Zhao,

how come you've gotten all bourgeois, even wanting to have afternoon tea?

Can't I pursue a quality lifestyle?

Alright, let's go.

Okay.

I'll get my bag.

I'll drive.

Didn't expect you to actually invite me for afternoon tea

and to such an atmospheric place.

But I'm worried that with one sip of this tea,

you will ask me to split the bill.

Am I such a penny-pincher?

You're not. You're stingy.

Okay.

Today, your inaccurate assessment of me

ends here.

I'll show you what generosity looks like.

Waiter.

I just wondered why you invited me to have afternoon tea out of the blue.

Buying a bag for a friend. Asking me to examine it for you.

Okay, I'll tell you,

if you were afraid of buying a fake bag from the start,

you should've come to me instead of a reseller.

This is straight from the boutique, try it on.

There really is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

I even have to try it on for you.

Fine, since I'm here, I'll try it on for you.

Take a look, is it nice?

- Pretty. - Really?

It suits you very well. Do you like it?

What do you mean by that?

Just what it means.

This bag is a gift for you.

I wanted to find the right occasion to give it to you.

But I guessed you were in a bad mood today.

So I decided to give it to you ahead of time.

How could you tell I was in a bad mood?

Just now,

you looked over at Ji three times.

Your eyes turned red twice.

You even turned your head away on purpose to avoid being seen.

Actually, back in Xihai Town,

I already noticed something was off with you.

Rao Jing, we're so familiar with each other.

There's no need for you to hold yourself so formally in front of me.

I won't wrap it for you.

I see there's the receipt.

It should fetch a good amount of money at the second-hand market.

What do you mean by that?

I don't want this bag.

Rao Jing.

Rao Jing, where are you going?

If you don't like this style, that's okay.

I'm going all out, pick one you like.

Zhao Fanggang, what is my relationship with you?

Do you need to be so extravagant?

Even if you won the lottery today,

you shouldn't spend your money on me.

And why do you care so much about me?

My eyes turned red that many times, I glanced at Ji that many times.

What does my condition have to do with you?

Do you usually do this outside?

As long as there is someone ambiguous,

you're so considerate and warm-hearted towards them.

Are you the central air conditioning?

Rao Jing, you've confused me.

I don't understand what you really mean.

What I mean is, I've realized you're serious about me.

Yes, what's wrong?

Nothing much. If it's just for fun,

no matter how extreme, I'm willing to go along with it to the end.

We're all adults.

Single, bored, just for fun.

But if you're serious with me,

wanting to enter a steady relationship,

sorry, I have no such intention.

Zhao Fanggang, you're being too serious now.

You're so serious that I can't even play along.

So you're eager to pay me back.

You just want to set clear boundaries with me.

There's no need to draw the line at ambiguity.

It's the line of being serious that I'm drawing.

Now that you've crossed the line, it's not fun anymore.

So in your eyes,

I'm no different from those little boys who fool around.

I'll go boil some water for you to soak your feet, okay?

- I'll go get your shoes. - Tu.

Sit here, I want to talk to you for a while.

From now on, if you want to dance in the square, just go dance.

If you want to dance with Zhang Guiying, dance with Zhang Guiying.

If you want to dance with Li Guiying, dance with Li Guiying.

As long as you're happy.

I've figured it out.

We are at this age and also retired.

The children have their own lives.

Let's go do some things

that make ourselves happy, okay?

If there's something to be happy about every day…

Don't be sad.

From now on, when I dance,

I'll take you with me every time, okay?

If you don't know how, I'll teach you.

If you don't like it, let's do something you enjoy.

We can go…

I'll accompany you shopping. We can get someone to play cards.

Let's go out to have fun, to see the scenery, okay?

Before, I always felt that life was still long.

But after going through this incident,

I suddenly realized the impermanence of life.

Live and cherish each moment.

I just can't stand it.

A perfectly good person.

How could they pass away just like that?

Today, I watched Ji's silhouette.

I was thinking, what if it were our turn?

What could Xiaoning do?

Here.

After all, it's impossible to stay with a child for a lifetime.

Right?

But start from today,

we can live healthily

and keep a good mood.

This way, we can spend more time with our daughter.

Right?

I want to soak my feet.

Soak your feet, I will take off your shoes for you.

Wait a moment.

You've been exhausted these days.

I can see the red veins in your eyes.

Why don't you take a rest?

It's okay.

Now it's just the two of us.

If you have anything on your mind, just talk to me.

If you're feeling upset,

crying on my shoulder might make you feel better.

It's okay, I'm fine.

Don't worry.

It's just that I'm really a bit tired.

I know.

You rest for a bit, I will cook.

Let me do it.

Turn on the light, it brightens your heart.

I know you're not feeling well

and have no appetite.

But still, eat something.

Otherwise, mom would be heartbroken if she knew.

Okay.

How is it? Does it taste good?

Mom said

what I made tasted just as good as what she made.

I thought I'd never be able to taste this flavor again.

My mom really passed away.

My mom really passed away.

I don't have a mom anymore.

I found this photo album while sorting through mom's belongings just now.

Take a look.

During her hospitalization,

she would always write and draw in this album.

It turns out it was all written for you.

[Heng just born] [The first photo Dad took of Heng]

[Heng's hundredth day. He was afraid of the flash. But when I was there, he was not afraid anymore]

You've never seen these before, right?

[Heng at two years old] [Today, Heng learned to sing a nursery rhyme]

On my second birthday.

[Heng's kindergarten photo] [Starting kindergarten]

I even took gymnastics classes in kindergarten.

[Heng's onboarding photo] [No matter what you want to do, I will support you]

[Yuheng and Xiaoning's marriage registration photo]

[Yuheng and Xiaoning's wedding photo]

When we have these photos,

we'll put them up.

[Grandchild's one-month-old photo]

Take a look at the back.

There are words from Mom written on the back for you.

Heng, I'm hospitalized again.

This time, I don't know how much longer I can be with you.

Because of my illness, you gave up the job of your dreams.

Moving to the business department, you've been working hard.

I saw this and felt very guilty.

But I worry about you more.

If one day I pass away,

I hope you can relax,

do some things you like,

and live a good life with Xiaoning.

Our family's bond may not have been long,

but throughout life,

having your father, you, and Xiaoning by my side

has made me very content.

Thank you, Heng.

Your father and I will always watch over you.

♫ Those cherished quiet moments ♫

♫ Are hidden in the dark ♫

Mom should be able to rest assured.

The two of us will take good care of ourselves.

We certainly will.

♫ Are secretly hidden within my heart ♫

♫ Because of you, I have become who I am ♫

You are up.

You've made breakfast already?

Are you planning to go to work today?

I'm planning to take a break.

Give myself some time to adjust.

I'll ask for some time off from work later.

I'll take some time to adjust with you.

No need, you should go to work if you have to.

Don't worry, I won't do anything that will make you worry.

Ultimately, he has to get through this period on his own.

Okay.

[The Most Delicious Dumplings in the World]

The key to this filling is the seasoning oil.

You are very photogenic.

Listen to me,

you just need to briefly stir-fry it with hot oil.

But the key

is that you can't use too much oil.

Too much and it becomes greasy.

Another thing is to make sure to cook on low heat.

Otherwise, if the flame is too high,

it will be burnt and lose its delicious smell.

This is really a meticulous task.

It's almost done. Can you smell the delicious smell?

Alright.

Then pour out the seasoning oil.

Mom, rest assured, I will definitely learn well.

From now on, I'll do it so you won't have to tire yourself.

It's okay if you can't learn it.

If you want to eat, I will cook for you.

I will cook as much as you want to eat.
