[Xingyao Group Celebration Banquet]

Try this.

This wine

looks quite special.

Its name is even more special.

It is called

Resurrection No. 2.

I think it suits you well.

You must be referring

to my resurrection after Qi
Dong risked his life to save me,

helping me escape from Gao Shanshan.

In that case,

this wine is quite fitting.

Then I must

take my time to appreciate it.

This wine is nice.

It really gives

a feeling of renewal

like a spring breeze.

Looks like you really like it.

The mixologist is right here.

I'll have her

explain it to you.

Has the wine sold this month?

Where is the money?

Look, look.

If a guest touches your hand or your shoulder,

will you lose a piece of flesh?

Will you lose your flesh?

I am so disappointed in you.

You say no to everything.

You value loyalty, right?

You'll get your pay docked with her.

Mr. An, hello.

I am the mixologist

in charge of the drinks tonight.

You can call me Barbie.

It is my honor to serve your group.

This young lady is so radiant.

How should I address you?

This is Qi Gege,

my future daughter-in-law.

Miss Qi,

how do you like the drinks?

Not bad.

Thank you.

An honored guest is here.

Gege,

I'll leave you to chat.

Alright.

Ms. Ruan,

what brought you here?

Ninghai Square is my friend's project.

It is about to restart,

so how could I not come

to congratulate you?

Looks like

you're feeling nostalgic.

It's not about nostalgia.

Some things

just can't be forgotten.

Let this glass of wine be a toast

to the past.

Those without a future

can only toast to the past.

Mother,

I was wrong.

Look how thin you have gotten.

You must've suffered these days.

You

are so impatient

and shoulder everything yourself

just like your mother.

Did I not tell you to stay abroad
and wait for the right time?

Why did you sneak back on your own?

I saw An Guoxuan
enjoying his glory for so long.

I really could not wait anymore.

Silly child.

I could have been with you

and helped you.

Why must you

walk such a hard road alone?

If I had not seen

An Guoxuan investigating you today

and bribed Barbie ahead of time,

the consequences would've been unimaginable.

Alright.

Since you have chosen such a difficult path,

you must stay sharp and persevere to the end.

Are you not angry with me anymore?

You must remember:

Every step you take from now on

must be taken with extra caution.

You must not make another mistake.

[Celebration Banquet]

Thanks to Mr. An and Mr. An.

As the banquet draws to an end,
let us raise our glasses together

for Xingyao's brilliant
achievements in the past

and the bright prospects ahead.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheers.

Congratulations, Dong.

This is...

Isn't this Miss An?

Why are you here?

It's Dong's banquet.

Of course, I've prepared a grand gift.

Everyone, look.

I thought Qi Dong was just
a lowly illegitimate child.

But after some investigation,

he turned out even dirtier than I expected.

Everyone,

our young lady is unwell
and a little emotional.

Let's go home.

- Please enjoy. - Don't touch me.

- Don't touch me. - Let's go home.

Miss An!

Miss An...

- Let me help you. - What is going on?

At first, I did not understand.

I was Father's dearest daughter,

but why was he so concerned about you?

Now I understand.

You are just like your mother,
using any means necessary

to climb up,

without any bottom line.

Get her out of here.

Come, Miss An.

- Let's go home. - Don't touch me!

Miss An, let's go.

You forced me to do this.

Look at the evidence.

Sir, ma'am,

may I ask if you know Qi Xiuqin,

Qi Dong's mother?

Yes.

She is from our village.

Do you know An Guoxuan,

Qi Dong's father?

We have seen him on TV.

He seems to be a rich man.

That is right.

An Guoxuan is a famous
entrepreneur in Ninghai.

Since An Guoxuan is so successful,

why did Qi Dong's mother

die in the village

with no one caring for her?

She brought it upon herself.

What do you mean?

That poor child.

He was born to a mother

who thought her looks

could help her climb higher.

She met a rich man,

seduced him,

and got pregnant.

That man told her to get
an ab*rtion, and she refused.

Instead, she accused him

of as*ault.

You all saw it, didn't you?

I'm not crazy.

I'm not lying.

Qi Dong is not just

a lowly illegitimate child.

His mother would do anything
to climb up the social ladder.

He's not qualified

to be the GM of Xingyao.

What's going on?

His mother tried

to climb higher by any means.

Why did you take his money?

We've cut ties with him.

That beast.

I'd rather die than use his money.

Remember.

You're a Qi, not an An.

While An Guoxuan

is busy with PR

for the banquet,

you are

hiding out here.

Looks like hiding didn't work.

That's true.

You just can't escape

some things,

like

your background.

You carry

An Guoxuan's blood,

along with a shameful past.

If I'm right,

five years ago,

you arranged for a fisherman

to save You You,

covering your tracks well.

But now,

you slipped up

first with Barbie

and then with An Jingjing,

putting yourself

and You You in danger.

What's wrong?

Has love

clouded your judgment?

You You has been walking

a tightrope from the start.

One wrong step,

and she's doomed.

I'll protect her,

and I won't let anyone drag her down,

including you.

You might still have a chance
to turn things around,

but she doesn't.

She can't afford to lose.

So,

I don't want

You You's future

to have anything to do with you.

Hey, can you help me?

Hello?

Hello?

My music box is missing.

Can you help me find it?

Hey.

Can you help me find it?

Come here.

It's a birthday gift from my dad.

You broke it,

so you'll have to pay me back.

Sorry.

Since you helped me find it,

I don't need you to pay.

But you have to promise me something.

What is it?

I haven't decided yet.

Tell me what you can do.

I can play the piano.

You can play the piano?

Can you play this song?

It's Childhood Memories.

Perfect.

I was just wondering what
to give my dad for his birthday.

How about this? Teach me to play this song,

and I'll forgive you.

Let's make a pinky promise. Come on.

♪ Now I wanna see your soul ♪

♪ When time is enough slow ♪

♪ Walk in a beautiful path
where the flowers grow ♪

♪ Now I wanna see your soul ♪

♪ Then the answer is sure ♪

♪ That I will be the only one to you ♪

How is it? Am I ready to graduate?

This sounds more like a childhood nightmare
than childhood memories.

I'm heading back to the city today.

Maybe you can teach me more next summer.

We made a pinky promise.

We can never go back on our word.

My dad's here to pick me up.

Bye. See you next year.

[Certificate of Honor]

[You You]
Her name is You You.

She knows how to play the piano.

You You has been walking

a tightrope from the start.

She can't afford to lose.

I don't want

You You's future

to have anything to do with you.

Since I was a kid,

you've never hit me.

Yet now you're hitting me
over an illegitimate child.

It's because I didn't hit you enough
that you turned out like this.

Do you think Gao Shanshan really loves you?

The thing he loves is the identity as your husband
and the right to inherit Xingyao.

To get what he wants, he even crippled you.

He'd k*ll you if he had to.

Can't you see

how ruthless he is?

No!

Qi Dong and Qi Gege framed him!

He'd never treat me like that!

He said

everyone else was just a pawn.

Only I matter to him.

Dad, you're wrong.

All of you are wrong.

I was wrong.

I was wrong

to spoil you and let you be poisoned
by Gao Shanshan for years.

If Qi Dong hadn't investigated,

I wouldn't have known the truth even now.

You want to give me a gift, right?

Come on.

Let me give you one too.

Miss An,

here are the chat logs of Gao Shanshan
and Liu Fei conspiring against you.

[I'm paid to take care of it.]
Take a good look.

Take a look.

Take a good look.

Keep an eye on her.

Don't let her leave again.

Yes.

Everyone, look.

I thought Qi Dong was just
a lowly illegitimate child.

But after some investigation...

What are you doing at work hours?

Ms. Chen, this was trending this morning
before it was deleted.

Good thing I saved it.

Really?

Miss An publicly revealed

that Mr. Qi's mother failed

to seduce Mr. An and then accused him of r*pe.

What a mess among the rich and powerful.

Their family's scandals
are all over the city now.

Mr. Gao is under police investigation
and in a coma at the hospital,

while Mr. An is caught up in a scandal.

Miss An.

I'm here to try on my wedding dress.

I'll take that one.

The one Shanshan liked.

Sure.

I'll take you to the fitting room.

Qi Dong?

Qi Dong?

Qi Dong?

Bu Fan,

do you know where Qi Dong is?

I've been looking for him all morning.

I was just about to ask you.

He's not at the company or the villa.

How about

we split up and search?

Call me if you find him.

Okay.

Hello?

Hello, is this Miss Qi?

This is Chen Xi from the wedding dress shop.

I have something

to tell you.

How's my daughter?

I'm sorry.

Miss An will likely spend

the rest of her life

in a wheelchair.

No way.

She's still so young.

Get me your director.

This...

Bring him here.

I'll go and see him.

Mr. An.

Mr. An...

Open the door, Jingjing.

Jingjing, I need to talk to you.

Open the door.

Open the door, Jingjing.

I need to talk to you face to face.

Jingjing.

Open it or I'll come in.

Jingjing!

Jingjing.

Jingjing,

no matter what happens,

I'll stay by your side.

Get out!

I don't need your pity.

I'm just

a cr*pple now.

Leave me alone.

So no one has to see me

like this.

Go!

- Go away! - Jingjing!

- Jingjing! - Go!

- I like you. - Leave!

I like you.

It's not pity.

[Shanshan,]

[you once gave me a glimmer
of light in my darkness.]



[my salvation in my hopeless life.]

[But you were the one]

[who pushed me deeper into the abyss.]

[I'm such a fool.]

[Everyone must be laughing at me.]

[What's the point of living?]

Someone who never loved you betrayed you.

Is that worth dying for?

What are you doing here?

I came to watch you do something stupid.

Get lost!

Relax.

Misjudging a fraud

isn't your fault.

It's the fraud's fault.

Why punish yourself

for Gao Shanshan's mistakes?

If you can't even cherish your own life,

how can you expect others to cherish you?

Let me die! Stay out of it!

If I let go right now,

your body

will fall fast

under gravity,

and your heart

will race,

until

you hit the ground hard.

The moment you touch the ground,

the impact

will smash your bones

and organs,

and you'll be shattered to pieces

after a bang

like a watermelon

bursting open.

I'll give you three seconds.

No! No!

Three.

No!

Two.

One.

Your body's instincts are telling you

that you don't want to die.

Live on.

Life is precious.

Only by living can you watch the bad guys

pay for it,

right?

If it's raining,

you should use an umbrella.

From now on,

you have to hold your own umbrella.

Take it.

Don't let others look down on you.

Hello?

Miss Qi, I found Dong.

He's at the cemetery.

Got it.

[Loving Mother: Qi Xiuqin]

Some things can be washed away.

Some things

stay with you forever.

Maybe that's not so bad.

Honestly, I'm quite grateful to An Jingjing.

A while ago,

I was lost.

Her revelation

reminded me of who I really am.

What about you?

Have you remembered who you are?

I think you've already guessed it.

That expl*si*n

was no accident.

It was orchestrated by An Guoxuan.

Gao Shanshan

used the old recording

where they framed my father

to blackmail him.

That's something

An Guoxuan could never tolerate.

Did you find any evidence?

Sorry.

I missed it.

My mind's been

a mess lately.

You fell into a coma,

and then there was the banquet.

Looks like we both strayed
from our original paths.

It's time we returned
to our rightful places.

I still miss the old you.

The one who risked everything

to find proof that Gao Shanshan

framed An Jingjing

when I was in detention.

The one who'd throw caution to the wind

to strike a deal with Gao Shanshan.

You are You You.

Your father, You Zhen,
was imprisoned because of An Guoxuan.

Your mother, Qi Lan,
died because of An Guoxuan.

And you are the one

I pushed into the sea

and forced to live

under a false identity.

Only when An Guoxuan is brought to justice

can your father's name be cleared

and can your mother's death be avenged.

Only then

can you reclaim your true name.

I understand now.

Good.
