{\an8}[*Foster mother]

Mother.

When I went abroad,

I should've taken you with me.

If something had happened to you,

how could I ever face your parents?

If you had,

I'd never have learned the truth

that it was An Guoxuan

who destroyed

my family.

Do you think your impulsiveness and naivety

can bring down An Guoxuan?

If I'm not mistaken,

this music box was

your mother's birthday gift to you.

If the fishermen weren't there
and hadn't heard the music

and thought someone was drowning,

you would've died.

Revenge isn't about venting anger.

If you want to defeat your enemy,
you need to plan carefully

and move step by step.

I'll give you a new identity

and send you abroad to study.

When you're ready,

you can return to Ninghai.

From today on,

the old You You

is dead.

Now,

you are Qi Gege.

Stop.

Who are you?

My fiancee,

Qi Gege.

Mr. Qi.

Shisi,

I caught you embezzling years ago.

Didn't An Guoxuan kick you out of Ninghai?

What?

Why suddenly crawl back?

Mr. An cooled off.

Out of pity,

he let me return as a butler.

Since you chose to come back to serve,

you'd better not want something else.

If I'm going to serve,

I'll at least be loyal.

Well.

You'd better protect

my fiancee.

After all,

she is

half your master.

Understood.

Today is your mother's death anniversary.

Mr. An sent me to deliver flowers.

My mother loved many kinds of flowers,

but she hated the smell of chamomile.

Is An Guoxuan sending flowers

for my mother's sake

or for mine?

I dare not guess

Mr. An's intentions.

Since Miss Qi is now Mr. Qi's fiancee,

you'll be attending

the family dinner today, right?

Of course.

Mr. Qi,

you should wear

a black tie today.

[Loving Mother: Qi Xiuqin;
Erected by: Qi Dong]

Explain now.

Why are you here?

Naturally, I'm here for you.

I never fight unprepared battles.

Go on.

I've been curious

how Mr. An's son of Xingyao Group

became a neglected blind man.

After an investigation,

I found that you were blinded

by a girl.

And that girl named You You

died

not long after.

Did you k*ll her?

Looks like you did your homework.

So, I guessed right.

So what if I did?

What?

Are you afraid you'll end up like You You?

No.

I'm smarter than she was.

I know how to make the right choice.

Seems you're quite satisfied
with your new identity.

Of course.

Only as your fiancee

can I get close to An Guoxuan

and help you become
the future master of Xingyao.

At the family dinner today,

I hope you'll work with me

and put on a good show.

What's wrong?

I'm just wondering

what kind of people

would live in such a house.

From now on,

countless eyes will be watching you.

Once you show even the slightest flaw,

they will circle like vultures

to tear you apart and devour you.

So,

you have to always remember your role

and never let your guard down.

Don't worry.

I won't turn this family dinner

into our last supper.

Mr. Qi, Miss Qi.

Please come in.

What are you doing here?

Is this how you greet your brother?

I'm an An; you're a Qi.

We're not family.

Besides,

what's a blind man doing here?

I'm blind,

and you're lame.

Don't you think we make
the perfect brother-sister pair?

You...

Who are you?

Qi Gege,

my fiancee.

She'll be your sister-in-law.

Dong, you haven't come home
for dinner in ages,

and now that you're back,

you bring such expl*sive news.

Well,

unlike you, I've always been efficient.

You missed your engagement party
just to run off to Haizhou,

only to come back

empty-handed.

You met in Haizhou?

I went there for a design exhibition,
looking for new designers,

and happened to bump into Dong.

This is my first meeting with Gege.

Shanshan, you're so young,

yet your memory seems a bit poor.

I remember

you personally handed
your business card to Gege.

Right?

That's right.

Senior came to Haizhou

specifically

to ask me

to join Xingyao.

Unfortunately,

I wasn't interested.

Senior?

It's a coincidence.

Miss Qi and I both graduated
from Luminy in Marseille, France.

Even more coincidentally,

they shared one teacher.

Qi Dong, what do you mean?

What could I possibly mean?

I'm just kindly reminding my dear sister

to keep an eye on her fiance.

My relationship with Shanshan
is none of your business.

You harbor ill intentions

and will resort to any means

to get what you want just like your mother.

Jingjing.

I've told you many times

to mind your manners.

Hello, Uncle An.

I heard from Shisi
that after you got off the plane,

you went to pay respects
to Qi Dong's mother.

Alright.

Let's eat first.

- Let's eat. - No.

Miss An said she was in a bad mood

and wouldn't be coming down.

She's still throwing tantrums like a kid.

Well.

Prepare some food and send it upstairs to her.

Yes.

Sorry about this.

She's my only daughter;
I've been spoiling her.

It's my fault.

Originally, I went to Haizhou
to invite Miss Qi to join Xingyao

as our chief designer.

I not only failed

but let Jingjing misunderstand me.

Still, it led to Dong
and Miss Qi's happy union.

By the way, you two have only known each other

for about three days, right?

It takes a lifetime

to hate someone.

But to fall in love,

a moment is enough.

Gege.

When did you prepare this?

Here.

From the moment I met you

and the moment you took my hand,

I knew

I was destined to be bound to you for life.

So, to keep you from slipping away,

I must act first

by putting a ring on your finger

and binding you to me forever.

Miss Qi, good for you.

In just a few days,

you've managed to make my son fall in love.

- You're. - Sit.

The first woman he's ever brought home.

But

Miss Qi, why do I feel

you seem so familiar?

Perhaps it's because

we were destined to become a family.

Well said.

Since we're family,

why don't you share

how you and my son got together?

When I was serving as a judge in Haizhou,

one of the students

tried to take revenge on me.

Qi Dong appeared and saved me.

From that moment on,

I knew

the rest of my life

would belong to him.

Such a classic rescue romance.

But

it was quite a coincidence.

Was Dong following Miss Qi

all along?

That's right.

I've had my sights on Gege

for a long time.

Yet you're always chasing

after what you can't have.

Looks like Miss Qi's arrival

has turned my son and son-in-law

into fierce rivals.

But they both know

what truly unsettles them

is the CEC project.

Miss Qi,

who do you think

will win the project?

Uncle An,

what you want to know is

who will inherit Xingyao,

Qi Dong or Gao Shanshan, right?

These past few years,

my health has been getting worse.

There's been a lot of gossip
about Xingyao outside.

I just want to hear

some different opinions.

Different opinions enlighten me.

It looks like a fight

for Xingyao's inheritance.

But in reality,

it's about the company's ongoing struggles.

Sales have plummeted.

Xingyao desperately needs

a radical transformation.

So, whoever can lead Xingyao

to break through the siege

and fight back from the brink

will be the future leader

of Xingyao.

Fight back from the brink? Well said.

Miss Qi,

you're truly intelligent.

No wonder both of them

want you on their side.

Miss Qi, you're always welcome

to join my department.

You're really persistent,

aren't you?

You two

are always bickering.

Why not channel your energy

into something more important?

It's been a while
since you played Go with me.

Shanshan,

let's play later.

Time to eat.

You already knew who I was
at the cemetery this morning, right?

Yes.

The reason you didn't expose me

is that you wanted to see

whether I could move forward.

Now it seems

I didn't misjudge you.

You fought so hard to return.

It's for revenge, right?

It's because of hatred.

You hate that Qi Dong exposed
your embezzlement.

You hate even more that An Guoxuan,
whom you served loyally for ten years,

kicked you

out of Ninghai

like a worthless loser.

Don't flatter yourself.

I can expose your identity at any time.

Three years ago,

you fell in love with a rich girl.

You wanted to elope with her,

but An Guoxuan

threw you out of Ninghai

and tore you apart.

When you came back,

that girl

was already dead.

I didn't expect you

to be so affectionate.

What do you want?

Since we both have secrets

and share a common goal,

why not

work with me?

I'll think about it.

But let me remind you:

Qi Dong may be blind,

but he's not clueless.

If you keep lurking by his side,
aren't you afraid he'll find out

who you really are?

[Someone was here.]

[Is it Qi Dong?]

Where did you just go?

Are you worried about me?

Still,

I get the feeling

this house is haunted.

Are you afraid of ghosts?

Sometimes,

people are far scarier

than ghosts.

Then are you afraid of me?

You seem to enjoy dancing with ghosts.

Especially with you.

This time, I've noticed

Mr. Qi is getting more agile.

I wonder how much effort
he's put in behind the scenes.

My son

is truly no ordinary man.

Also,

look into Qi Gege.

Yes.

I said I'm not eating. Take it away.

You don't have to eat.

The slimmer you get, the better
you'll look in the wedding dress.

I don't want a wedding dress!
I don't want to get married!

You and Qi Gege can both get lost!

Shanshan...

A woman like Qi Gege

is nothing but a disposable pawn.

But you

are different.

What do you mean?

In my world,

there is only you.

What do you think?

It looks just like the apartment

you stayed at in France, right?

Aunt Ruan won't realize

you secretly came back to Ninghai.

Come, You You.

Sit down.

Actually,

Mother's already done enough for me.

I can't keep making her worry.

For your wish,

I've done everything I can.

You used to follow me around as a kid.

How many beatings did I take
for standing up for you?

Alright.

You You, I was wrong.

I'll never complain again.

By the way, You You,
how did the family dinner go today?

Did you crush them?

Qi Dong proposed to me
in front of An Guoxuan.

Dong,

were you serious about that proposal?

I knew you had feelings for You You.

That madman Qi Dong

actually pulled that stunt.

But now, I find myself getting curious

about my fiance.

Five years of effort

finally paid off.

Tonight, I officially entered the An family.

So, what's our next move?

Team up with Gao Shanshan,

and kick Qi Dong out of the game.

[Urban Wedding Photography]

Miss An,

we've been waiting for you.

We just received some new wedding dresses
designed by top designers.

Please take a look.

Shanshan,

pick one for me.

Alright.

Please take a look.

How about this one?

It's too plain.

I prefer something with a design.

Something that sparkles.

I remember

you have a designer handmade dress.

You have excellent taste.

That's our crown jewel.

Let me take you there.

Alright.

Wait for me.

This way.

Senior,

how is the wedding dress I chose?

Your taste indeed resembles mine.

But

I didn't expect you

to win Qi Dong over so quickly

and become my sister-in-law.

I told you

he's just an appetizer for you.

How do you plan

to serve this appetizer?

I'll join Xingkong

and pretend to help him

secure the CEC project.

When the time is right,

I'll ruin his plan.

By then,

you'll get to reap the rewards.

You're making me anxious now.

Haste

makes waste.

[Jingjing]

How can I not be anxious?

Jingjing.

Alright, I'll be right there.

[Urban Wedding Photography]

Dong.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to help Qi Gege pick
a wedding dress.

What?

You can get married;

why can't I get engaged?

No.

You're in the wrong place.

This is the dressing area.

Is it?

Oh, no.

I forgot Qi Gege's

exact measurements.

Should I call her?

Call...

Forget it.

I forgot this.

Today, I asked her to give me

the initial design draft for the CEC.

She's probably busy.

Next time, I'll have her
come shopping with me.

You take your time.

By the way,

remember

to be careful with your choices.

My little sister's temper

can be quite expl*sive

when she's angry.

Dong, take care.

- Hi, Mr. Qi. - Hi, Mr. Qi.

[Xingkong]

Have you seen Qi Gege?

We didn't notice.

How's your first day

on the job?

Thanks to your oppressive influence,

my colleagues have been very friendly.

I hope you don't let that

go to your head.

Where's the proposal?

In this proposal,

the roof is covered with a diagrid.

Glass creates a transparent space,

spanning the entire building,

and blurring the line
between indoors and outdoors.

It will be complemented
by a unique lighting design

that perfectly fits the CEC's

slouchy, mysterious,
and semi-transparent style.

I wonder

if you're satisfied.

You should ask Chairman Fu of
the bidding committee whether he'll be satisfied.

He doesn't care

about the design quality.

To deal with Mr. Fu,
we need to take a targeted action.

Miss Qi,

I didn't expect you to be

an expert in traditional Chinese medicine.

I'm not an expert,

but I'm more than capable

of curing you.

Tell me.

What exactly are you up to?

Mr. Qi, you must've heard

about the Ninghai Amateur
Fencing Competition.

Do you want

to participate in this contest?

That's right.

Mr. Fu is one of the sponsors.

He's a hardcore fencing fan.

He's sponsored

many amateur fencers,

but the best result

was just making it to the top 16.

That's how he got

the nickname "Mr. Sixteen".

I think

if someone can help him win,

even if the CEC project

won't be guaranteed,

it'll at least be within reach.

Miss Qi, it seems

you're quite confident

in your fencing skills.

Fencing is all about speed,

precision, and explosiveness.

I can use my hearing to fight against you.

If you want to win,

try your best.

Are you okay?

I don't think you're blind.

You just have eyes in other places.

For some things,

you don't need to see,

and you need to feel.

Oh, my.

This guy's ruthless.

He's a madman.

He's already holding back.

I think he's just getting revenge.

Did he discover your
secret meeting with Gao Shanshan

at the wedding dress shop?

If that's true,

then my suspicion might be right.

He's been playing me all along,

and he's faking blindness.

[You You,]

[you must've guessed it by now.]

[No matter how vicious I am]

[in your eyes,]

[you'll eventually understand me.]
