Episode 18
What are you doing?
The things you said just now.
Who gave them to you?
Zhousheng Chen's cousin.
What's going on between you
and Chen?
He sneaked in for a night?
We got our marriage certificate.
Shh.
You two are pretty gutsy.
Obtaining your marriage certificate in secret.
There's a reason for that.
Did you tell your mother?
He just got back.
We plan to tell them in a couple of days.
My dad called your dad
several days ago.
He was telling your dad that the two of you should break up.
He said Zhousheng Chen's family
didn't accept you as his girlfriend.
So you'll have a hard time over at their family.
Your parents...
Your parents even told my dad
they still can't let go the fact that
his parents didn't want to meet up.
Now you've even got your certificate
but his mother still refuses to see you.
Your parents will definitely become furious.
That's why
I don't know how to tell them.
What about Zhousheng Chen?
We haven't really talked about it.
Let's not talk about this.
I'll cook for you guys.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
- Professor Zhousheng. - Let's go.
Director.
Let me introduce you.
He is the person
in charge of our
key laboratory,
Professor Zhousheng Chen.
This is
Professor Zhang
from Department of Chemistry, Zhenghua University.
Professor Zhang.
How do you do?
This is Professor Jin.
Professor Jin.
How do you do?
By the way,
your school has hired him before, right?
Yes, I remember.
He was a visiting professor.
Mr. Zhousheng is young and talented.
You're about 25 or 26 years old?
I'm already 28.
I must say.
He's changed since he came back.
He's getting younger and younger.
This is the style my wife likes.
That's good.
A man who values his family
must have a strong sense of responsibility.
Would you mind showing us
your lab?
Please come in.
Okay.
Are you interested in
a collaborative lab
with our institute?
I don't have the energy anymore.
In fact, these two
has always been
in charge of the lab here.
I'm already working on
a new lab.
Li.
It seems that you can't retain talents.
Professor Jin.
No matter what you say,
I've convinced him to
set up a lab here.
And you?
You didn't even have a chance
to convince him.
I can't compete with you
in talent grabbing.
Where is your new lab?
In Xi'an.
Xi'an?
I tried my best to make him stay.
But he's determined to go to Xi'an.
Why? Are your parents there?
I'm interested in the project they are doing.
Besides, my wife likes it there.
This way.
Okay.
Everything is the same.
Nothing has changed.
The last time we met,
your eldest brother was here.
All these years, you ran the Zhou family.
It's been hard work.
Now it's all good.
Chen is now in charge of
all the business.
The son takes over the business from his father.
As for me, I can enjoy my retirement.
I wonder if
Mei Xing has
a girlfriend to get married with?
Not yet.
I have no plans for the time being.
Wenxing
lived with your family for two years
when she was little.
She has a deeper bond with your family
than with her two brothers.
Every time you come here,
she would always greet you at the door
without fail.
I mean,
if neither of them
has a suitable match,
why not let them
spend some time together?
Mom.
You should have asked me first.
I'm asking you now.
But you misunderstood.
How embarrassing it is for us
to say it in front of us.
It seems that Mei Xing
still has a long way to go
in terms of dating people.
You see?
Even the person who grew up with you
doesn't dare to marry you.
Uncle Mei.
That's not what I meant.
It's okay.
Yes, Dad.
You're right.
Wenxing is too good.
I don't deserve her.
I've always hoped that
she could meet someone she really likes,
someone who treats her right,
keeps her accompany and takes care of her.
I really had no idea my mother and uncle
would suddenly bring this up.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
I'm a big man.
I have thick skin.
You guys are leaving now?
Yes.
The thing you mentioned earlier...
Stay for dinner.
No.
It's too much trouble to eat at your house.
You have a big family.
We're going home.
It's more relaxing
to eat with my disciples.
Stay.
I'll have the chefs
make your favorite food.
I've gotta go.
I have something to do.
Is that him?
It's not him.
If it's him,
I've just estimated
his measurements.
If you want me to make a suit for him, you can tell me anytime.
There is one thing.
I have a packed schedule.
I can allow you to skip the queue,
but you need to tell me at least three months in advance.
It's not him. Don't make any guesses.
It's not him?
It's not?
Can you stop looking?
Where's your eldest brother?
In Shanghai I think.
Shi Yi is there.
He must be with her.
He's not staying here?
My mother doesn't like Shi Yi.
She won't even let us
call Shi Yi sister-in-law in front of her.
Chen must not want her to come back
in case she'll suffer.
Why did you come so early?
I only realized
you were wearing slippers after you left.
When did you change them?
At the lab?
I bought them today.
My parents asked us
to come home for dinner.
Dinner?
Are your grandparents still home?
Yes.
Yuanyuan insisted on eating the dinner I cooked.
And my parents asked me to come over.
I had no choice but to make it first.
Let them heat it up tonight.
Before dinner,
go somewhere with me first.
Wait for me in the study.
Happiness
We can go now.
Grandma made this.
I put it up to see how it looks.
Don't look, we're going to be late.
Let's go.
Should we come up with something to say
ahead of time?
So that we don't say the wrong things.
Actually, I don't know
what to say either.
My earlier plan was to
tell it to them directly.
Then excuse ourselves
so that you won't get beat up by my parents.
Ah.
I have another idea.
I haven't told you
because I was afraid you would mind.
I won't mind whatever it is.
I haven't said it yet
but you're already so agreeable?
You don't have any principles.
I'm thinking
we don't mention us getting the marriage certificate
before our families officially meet.
That means you'll have to bear with
being called my boyfriend
in front of my family.
When your relationship with your family
gets better
and we've set a date for our wedding,
then we'll tell my parents.
This is a step-by-step process.
So it may be easier for
my parents to accept it.
The only thing is that it won't be fair to you.
It's like I don't want to admit
our legal relationship.
Luckily.
Luckily, I've got the protection of the law.
Don't worry.
You have half
of everything I have.
I won't do you dirty.
You'd better keep the promise.
Oh, right.
We wouldn't want to give the game away.
Let's go.
Shi Yi.
He's made his stand.
Regardless of his family's attitude,
he wants to be with me.
I agreed.
It's useless for him to make a stand
After all,
they are his family members.
You must face them.
You can't hide from it.
He'll take care of it.
It seems you've made up your mind.
If I hadn't thought Chen
is honest and reliable,
I would haveâ€¦
He is honest and reliable.
I'm telling you,
love
isn't everything.
You must have legal protection.
I'm warning you, you two shouldn't
live together too soon.
Forget I ever said that.
Anyway, the way
you young people think
is completely different
from our generation.
Don't worry, Mom.
I will only be with him
for the rest of my life.
I won't be with someone else.
The rest of your life is a long time.
How is he treating you?
Pretty good.
You have to be more specific.
I'll have you know.
Your mother has been there before.
To judge
if a man is devoted to you,
you mainly have to look at the details.
Details...
He didn't like to call before.
After he met me,
he would talk about what he did
and who he met that day on the phone
strictly in accordance with my requirements
every day.
He is patient
with me.
As long as I ask for something,
he never refutes it.
He tries to learn.
And
since we met,
he has never been angry with me.
He has never been stern with me either.
When he's not happy,
he would stay away,
afraid he'll affect my mood.
The sound insulation at our house
is poor.
They don't know this.
But I know they always
have their girl talk over there.
And
I can feel
he has never had a girlfriend.
So far in the relationship,
I've basically been the one to initiate stuff.
He's always been well-behaved.
You lose, right?
Good game.
We should cook.
Uncle, let me help you.
Okay, okay.
Wash the vegetables.
Over there, wash it.
- Okay. - Okay.
You shouldn't be doing this.
I'll do it.
It's okay. I'll do it.
You have to make a good impression then.
Zhousheng Chen.
Don't you have work tonight?
We should go.
You still have work?
Then hurry back.
We'll be going, Dad.
We're going, Uncle.
Okay, be careful.
Mom, we'll go back.
He has work to do.
Drive safely on the road.
We're going, Auntie.
Did you see that?
Your daughter has always looked like
she doesn't care about anything
since her childhood.
But now she's
getting serious about this lad.
You can tell?
She's my daughter.
How can I not know her?
Did you notice?
She took his hand
when they were leaving.
She's telling us
she chose him.
She likes him very much.
And that we shouldn't treat him badly in the future.
She got that from you, isn't it?
You always bully me.
When have I ever bullied you?
You tell me.
When have I ever done that?
Go mop the floor now.
Okay, okay, I'll mop the floor.
What's wrong?
It's rare
to see you so active
in front of your parents.
We're at my place,
of course I have to protect you.
I heard you call my mother auntie.
Then my brain immediately
thought about what it would be like if you called her Mom in the future.
Then I thought about going to your home.
And I wondered how to face your mother.
What do you think I should call her?
Auntie or Mom?
What do you usually call her at home?
I don't
see her much
because she's not my biological mother.
Ren and I call her Mother.
Wenchuan and Wenxing
call her Mom more often.
I feel that you and Wenchuan
are not very close with each other.
It's true that we don't know each other very well.
Actually, when we were little,
we lived
separately.
I lived at my grandmother's home.
Wenchuan and Ren
were raised by their nanny.
Then maybe from this year?
Since this year,
Wenchuan and I,
we've gotten a little bit closer.
What about Wenxing?
When Wenxing was little,
she wasn't very good at her homework.
So she would often
go to grandmother's house to ask me for tutoring.
But that was all an excuse.
She probably
felt bored in the yard.
So she always wanted to find an excuse to go out.
Asking me for tutoring
was the best excuse she could come up with.
Sorry, sorry.
It's okay.
I'm not afraid of dogs.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid it might bite you.
Ever since I was little, cats and dogs would become restless
when they see me.
I've gotten used to it.
Why is that?
A fortune teller told my mother
that I shouldn't have been born.
That's why it happens.
I'm kidding.
Let's go.
In the next few months,
I may have to travel back and forth.
My work schedule has been packed recently.
I can only go back with you on weekends.
You don't have to go back with me.
I can go back by myself.
Going back and forth between the two places
is very energy consuming.
We only need to go back to Zhenjiang
on big occasions.
The rest of the time,
I will go back and forth between the two places.
I still feel like we're eloping.
Like I've abducted you to Shanghai
to get married.
When are you going back?
Tomorrow at dawn.
Uncle Lin is coming to pick me up.
Uncle Lin is getting old.
It's dangerous to drive at night.
Why don't you switch it to Lin Fei
or another driver?
He won't allow it.
Fine then.
Let's sleep early then.
Good night.
What are you up to?
You guy will be travelling
for a few hours.
Being hungry will make it worse.
I've made something
warm for you guys.
Thank you.
Uncle Lin and I will enjoy them.
Go get some rest.
Be safe.
Good night.
Here, Uncle Lin.
Shi Yi made this.
I've been driving you for years now.
This is the first time
we have something to eat on the way.
Let's eat.
We'll go after you're done.
Okay.
Divorce agreement
Zhou Wenchuan Tong Jiaren
You're back?
Next time you climb over the wall,
I'll let loose the dog to bite you.
If I get bitten by a dog,
you are the one who'll become worried.
I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
I kept thinking of you.
So I drove here.
Let me get some more sleep
before we see your grandma later.
What for?
You'll find out later.
Let me sleep for a little longer.
Don't sleep here.
It's uncomfortable.
Will you marry me?
Investigation Report: These are our findings on what happened in Bremen
People involved in the case: Shi Yi, personnel from two local logistics companies in Bremen
You let yourself in?
I should make you sign a confidentiality agreement.
Shi Yi and my eldest brother
ran into an accident in Germany.
Why didn't you tell me?
It was an accident.
What more can I say?
If it's an accident, why did you get someone to investigate it?
I'm paranoid.
You know that.
Why are you here?
I saw that you didn't come for breakfast this morning.
So I brought it to you.
Not many people can get up
at your family's breakfast time.
Isn't there tea and pastry at 10?
That suits me better.
I have to meet some elders with your eldest brother
in the morning.
I have a lot of things to do before that.
If you've nothing else you want,
I'll see you this afternoon?
Okay.
Is what happened in Bremen
an accident?
Of course it was an accident.
You saw
the reply from the local police.
And it went on the news the next day.
It was a dispute.
Uncle Chen.
You are finally willing to come back?
I don't even know how to answer
your grandma's questions anymore.
What did she ask?
She said
"How long have they been married?"
"Is it about a year?"
I said it hasn't been a year.
It's only been a few months.
Then she stopped talking.
Muttering to herself.
I think she wants to have a great-grandchild.
Uncle Mei.
Chen.
Your father's old friends
have all come back
to help you.
It's hard for a man to succeed alone.
You need friends to help you.
Whether we, your father's old friends,
are important or not?
Your uncles
know clearly about that.
Get inside.
Don't make your uncles and aunts
wait for too long.
Okay.
My nephew is back.
Chen's back.
Let's sit down.
- Good. - Good, good
Chen.
The family business seems to have been given to you.
But our family is old-fashioned.
We value family members
and ceremony.
Your wedding
must be held.
That's right.
So that the relatives coming from near and far
can meet your wife.
Okay.
I will definitely
make the wedding happen
within this year.
Good!
That's good.
That's great.
We'll be waiting for
your wedding banquet.
Yes, we are waiting for this day.
We'll definitely come over
at that time.
That's right.
Miss Shi.
Are you sick?
I've got a cold.
That's why I'm wearing a mask.
It's like this.
My superiors told us to
guard this first door.
So we have to know the residents
of every household.
The Miss Hong at your place,
did she move out?
Yes, she did.
In this case,
you're the only one in your house now?
I saw a gentleman yesterday...
My husband.
We just got married.
So he moved in with me recently.
I thought...
I thought
celebrities like you
don't tell people about
your private lives.
I'm not really a celebrity.
You were on TV wearing a long gown
and even got an award.
Is that not considered a celebrity?
I'm merely working behind the scenes.
You're too modest.
Security guard
I have nothing else to ask.
I'll register him.
This way we won't have to
keep an eye on him anymore
on duty
when he's in and out.
Thank you.
Okay. Bye.
I'll go now.
Okay.
He's so lucky.
Now that they're married,
why is he living in the woman's house?
This guy seems honest.
He shouldn't be like this.
You can't judge a man by his appearance.
It's hard to say.
Li!
When I'm done watering here,
please register it for me.
Okay.
What were you
muttering about?
Nothing.
I know that girl.
She's pretty, has a good job
and recently got married.
But her husband lives in her apartment.
I'm afraid she'll be cheated.
I've seen a lot of people like that.
Bad boys of the lower class
look bad.
But the wicked ones
are of high class.
This kind of man
seems to be honest.
Most of them pretend it.
Girls today are so independent.
They can earn money.
They have their own opinions.
Most of them
want to find a man who stays at home
and can live a good life.
Ladies should beware of fake honest guys.
In my opinion,
false honest guys are worse than true playboys.
Playboys go after beautiful women.
But fake honest men
want your beauty and money.
They're greedy.
Let me tell you.
You must talk to that girl.
I'm sorry.
You must tell her
to be careful
and don't be fooled.
Okay.
What I said
is all good advice.
If she doesn't listen to me,
Okay, take your time watering.
I'll go register it.
She'll have a hard time later on.
We've all been there.
Grandma, I'm divorced.
I want to marry Man.
I know
I'm a nobody now
in my own home.
I'm not the eldest son,
and even got divorced.
I'm sure you don't think I'm the best candidate
to be your granddaughter's husband.
But today,
I kneel before you
to beg you.
I hope you say yes
to grant me and Man
a chance to start over.
Your grandmother and I
have watched the three of you
grow up.
I never thought
things would turn out this way.
I really don't know what to say.
I'm getting older.
I don't like it
when people get down on their knees and talk to me.
Get up.
Granny wants you to get up.
Just do it.
As her eldest brother, let me ask you this.
You are divorced now.
What is Tong Jiaren
to your family now?
We have signed the agreement
and gone through the formalities.
But for the sake of the two families,
we have to wait for a year
to give a good explanation.
The hardest person to deal with in your family
is your mother.
Don't just try to
get a yes from our family
while you keep it from your family.
We only have one sister in our family.
She's very precious.
We won't let her suffer.
I've already told her.
I've told her everything.
You're still not meant to be
my daughter-in-law.
When are you going back to Bremen?
I'm not going back there.
Isn't your job over there?
Mom.
I've already made a deal
with a university in Beijing.
I'm going to Beijing in the winter.
Why not in Shanghai?
It's closer to home.
It suits me better there.
But I will stay in Zhenjiang during fall
to keep you company.
How long did it take Shi Yi
to come up with the pair of phrases that day?
Within seconds.
Now that you're married,
what do you think of it?
The fact that there's someone with me
when I wake up in the middle of the night.
What kind of answer is that?
Every married person
would have someone beside them.
It's not quite what I imagined.
What are you laughing at?
You won't get it.
It's autumn, so it's easy to catch a cold.
Take care of yourself.
Drink your medicine first.
Thank you.
I don't think it has anything to do with the weather.
Then what does it have to do with?
Is it related to your marriage?
Maybe it's true.
Is it because you forgot to cover up
after exercising?
What are you talking about?
No, I think
he always pulls the blanket in his sleep.
But
it feels good too.
I can wake up
in his arms every day.
Do you mean to irritate me?
Oh,
are you not worried
that he goes away for a few days every week?
What's to be worried about?
Erm...
He may have two families or something like that.
You've reported too much social news, haven't you?
It's true.
There are so many cases like this.
They say they're out for business,
but they actually have another family.
There are men like this.
There are also women that do this.
There are also those that are already married pretending to be single.
I just got married.
Say something nice.
Of course, there are also those who
keep each other company for decades
and pass away one after the other.
And then?
And then...
There is also someone who lost his partner.
The old man traveled all over the country
with a photo,
wandering around.
He searched for years.
The news
makes me cry every time I read it.
I hope he can find her soon.
The old man is a man of great love and loyalty.
It's tough for him.
I'm sure he'll find her.
I'm going to the train station this afternoon
to pick up a colleague.
I won't accompany you.
Will you be okay?
Do you want to go to the hospital?
I'm fine.
Call your husband?
It takes him several hours to drive back.
It's too tiring.
I'll finish the medicine and go to sleep.
Just go.
All right.
Text me before you go to bed.
I'm leaving.
Bye, bye.
