(Orthopedics Clinic 1) My arm
is completely healed.
It's even more flexible than before.
- Look. - Enough.
Be careful
not to lift anything heavy for three months.
- Got it. - Or you'll risk habitual dislocation.
- Okay. - Yiming.
Let's go for food.
Okay, go ahead.
It's already mealtime.
- Will you...? - Okay, let's eat.
I heard your canteen
has great food.
Alright, let's go.
Wenjin, over here.
Come sit with us.
Come on.
You don't know her, right?
- Alright. - Thanks.
Let me introduce you.
Yu Yiming, your senior.
An orthopedic PhD two years above you.
- Hello, senior. - Hi.
Xu Wenjin, your junior.
Neurosurgery PhD.
Top scorer in Shandong.
Impressive. Nice to meet you.
Me too.
Guo, stop bringing up ancient history.
Don't be modest.
Right after
her graduation,
Wenjin got invited by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
to a three-year cancer research project.
I'm so jealous.
Dig in. Should I get you some soup?
No need, this is enough.
Which department are you from?
I'm not staff here.
She's my high school classmate Qiao Lin.
She happened to
get my appointment
- by chance. - What a coincidence.
What do you do?
I sell cosmetics at a mall.
She just came to Jingzhou alone.
She's gaining experience
for her career.
I like makeup, too.
But I think
makeup requires skill just like surgery.
Every morning, I try
to learn from tutorial videos,
but I never get it right.
Why don't you visit my store?
- I can do your makeup. - Sounds great.
I'll customize makeup based on
your skin type and tone,
and your facial features.
Let me add you on WeChat.
Come find me at the store.
Alright.
- Shall we do the same? - Sure.
Okay.
I'll add you.
Alright.
Senior, let me add you too.
Okay.
Qiao Lin.
I sent the request.
Okay.
Thanks.
Dig in.
Alright.
(Conan)
Do you want to watch TV
or play games?
Play games.
Alright,
but only thirty minutes.
- Deal? - Deal.
Okay.
Let me show you something first.
Look.
See?
You took these?
(Junlong Equestrian)
You look really cool
when riding,
especially when you jump obstacles.
You look almost like Hua Tian.
You know Hua Tian?
Of course, I do.
He's your favorite equestrian athlete.
He won
the individual champion in show jumping
and the team champion
in the event.
Listen.
You can ask the coach
to record videos
during your future training.
Then, you'll know
your weaknesses
and exactly what to work on.
Look carefully.
Then you can play games.
I'll keep taking photos.
Okay.
Look at this move.
Cool, huh?
Check out the horse.
What about the horse?
(Hospital)
How is he?
He fell asleep after the IV.
Are you working?
I need to tell you something
important.
I didn't want to worry
your parents.
But Haochen
fell from the horse on purpose.
What do you mean?
Why would he do that?
I think
he was trying to seek attention
from his family.
I've been observing Haochen.
Whenever he's with
you or your parents,
he's extremely happy.
But when you're gone,
he gets very upset.
But he shouldn't hurt himself.
How would a child know
the right way to cope?
I have a friend.
She told me that
due to family hardships,
she was sent away
for foster care
when she was young.
Though they brought her home later,
she still struggled to get
the love and companionship she needed.
What's wrong?
Dad, Mom.
What?
Come here.
My hand.
You're hurt?
Get a Band-Aid.
Band-Aid.
Come on.
Right here.
Put it on.
Careful.
Any other injuries?
Anywhere else?
Do your legs hurt?
Easy now.
Sweetheart.
Take it slow.
They say
a happy childhood
can heal you for a lifetime.
But an unhappy one
takes a lifetime to heal.
That's why I believe
no material comforts
can replace family love and presence.
Right?
Haochen's too young.
Can't we ask
your parents to reconsider
sending him abroad?
Okay, let's do as you say.
Thank you for caring for him.
I'll go to the office early tomorrow
and get the work done.
Let's spend more time with him.
Alright.
Stay here with Haochen.
I'll fetch some clothes.
Okay, go ahead.
I'll head back now.
Bye.
Qiao Lin, you're up next.
Alright.
Your sales performance is good.
You achieved the top regional ranking so soon.
It's remarkable.
Plus, the neo-Chinese-style makeup
you did for clients
went viral online
with great reviews.
It benefits our brand image.
We're promoting a salesperson
from the store to the headquarters'
sales team.
You're on the shortlist.
Thank you for the recognition.
I genuinely love this industry,
especially when
the customers like the makeup I've done.
Their happiness
makes me happy too.
Who do you think should get the last spot?
Qiao Lin might be alright.
Qiao Lin.
That girl's decent.
But her education level is too low.
What a shame.
Let's stick to the standards.
Alright.
Education level.
(Interview result: Failed)
What's wrong? Did you get eliminated?
You know what?
This industry keeps
getting more competitive.
My cousin graduated
from a world-renowned university,
but started as a sales associate.
So forget about it.
You've already ordered?
Well,
I invited you for food,
but I'm late.
Sorry.
No worries.
Let's eat.
Okay.
You bought a new laptop?
It's for work?
The trends are changing
way too fast.
I bought it to study
and gather
information on
the latest makeup styles.
Plus, I want to continue my education.
I want to enroll in adult education
to improve my qualifications.
Sounds great.
I fully
support you.
Don't rush to say that.
I'm just having
this idea.
But I haven't decided on a major
or anything.
That's why I wanted
to talk with you.
Alright,
tell me.
What's on your mind?
Well, currently,
I'm just doing sales.
A relevant major
would be marketing.
I want to join adult education.
It's not so easy to graduate
from those programs.
So I was thinking,
even if I choose a major I like,
the courses I'm weak in
could still become
obstacles, right?
That's why I thought
that maybe
you could tutor me in math
and help me catch up.
Please don't say no.
Please please.
No one else will help me but you.
I'm begging you.
- Please. - Alright.
But I might not
be a good teacher.
You'll be the best.
Mr. Yu, cheers.
(Jingzhou Yuekang Hospital)
Have some breakfast.
Your brother will come
after the meeting.
He promised.
And he visited last night.
He bought you this. You like it, huh?
Play later.
Thank you, sis-in-law.
You're welcome.
Did...
Did you just
call me "sis-in-law"?
Sis-in-law.
Well,
I was rude yesterday.
Sorry about that.
Good kid for admitting mistakes.
You're forgiven.
Sis-in-law forgives you.
Want some soy milk?
I-I'll do it.
Wipe it.
Hands.
Sis-in-law.
You said you could keep me from going abroad.
Is that true?
Of course, it's true.
Would I lie to you?
But you must listen to me.
Okay.
Have an egg.
What's wrong?
Here.
I've brought you the iPad.
And I renewed your membership.
Let's go.
Rest your eyes.
Protect your eyesight.
Call me if you need anything.
Yeah, we're leaving.
- Dad... - Yan, take care of him.
- Dad... - Call us.
Mom, Dad.
Wait a minute.
What's wrong? Do you need something?
Can you stay with Haochen today?
We have meetings.
But Haochen is getting
even more upset.
We must take it seriously.
Yeah, I've noticed.
We're making time to visit him.
We brought his iPad, but that kid barely
speaks to us.
Kids are rebellious
- during puberty. - Yeah.
Take a look
at Haochen's drawing.
- What's this? - My Mom and Dad.
(My Mom and Dad) Well done.
Our heads are smartphones.
Our child has remarkable creativity.
I'd give him five stars if I were his art teacher.
This is what Haochen thinks of you.
This is Haochen
when he's alone.
Is this healthy?
He has always lacked companionship.
The person who spent the most time with him
was the nanny.
You're busy. Haoming's busy.
You spent more time
on your phones than with Haochen.
He does have many years ahead of him.
But childhood is short.
Haochen doesn't really
want his iPad or smartphone.
He wants what's most precious
to you.
Your time.
So I'm asking you to stay
and keep him company
for just one day.
Mom, Dad, Haochen, food is ready.
Go ahead.
Yeah, go ahead.
We're watching the match.
A pity, huh?
One question for you.
Why did I make you learn equestrian?
You know what?
I've chosen an excellent school for you.
This school offers eleven sports.
Equestrian ranks first.
Equestrian is a graceful sport.
If you master equestrian skills
before entering this school,
you've already gained an advantage.
Have it.
Thank you.
I won't drive you back today.
Okay.
It's red, your favorite.
It's for you.
Why?
To congratulate you.
Your financial news broadcasts have been so well-received this week.
Given your current status,
having a car makes a statement.
Also,
Haochen has been spoiled
ever since he was born.
His temper
grew worse and worse.
Even the formidable Ms. Yu
couldn't handle him.
I never expected
you'd get along so well with him.
I can sense that
he genuinely likes you.
And he got badly injured.
He's been discharged early
thanks to you.
Haochen is your brother.
We're family.
It's only natural for us
to care for each other.
You don't have to buy me gifts
whenever I do something.
You've done a great job.
You deserve a reward.
Because I appreciate it.
You're a typical boss.
Your expression of emotions
has become transactional.
I just want to give you
the life you want.
You are all I want.
See you.
(Zhou Zeyuan) (Let's meet.)
These are my company's
financial reports.
Here are the ongoing
(Projects) R&D Projects.
Here's the project proposal.
All here.
I came to tell you
that your collaboration
with my husband
won't happen.
Why not?
I work in journalism
and conduct investigations.
All your employees here
are hired actors.
This whole company is just a front
to scam money from investors.
So I'm sure
you don't have any real operations.
I'm not surprised
you saw through this. You know better about
hiring actors.
What do you mean?
Your parents aren't actually abroad.
They live in a small town.
When they came
to visit you in Jingzhou,
you treated them coldly.
They left quickly.
I met them briefly then.
I don't have many strengths
except a good memory.
Don't bother forming
a strategy.
I never intended
to destroy
what you've achieved.
My company needs funding.
You married into wealth.
Helping me
would be effortless for you.
Zeyuan,
I still remember
that you told me
to be honest on resumes
and that I must
walk in the light.
So I don't understand
why you've become
like this now.
Then why did you hide
your family background?
Why would you
hide your real parents
in the dark?
I saw your wedding photo
at Ms. Ma's place.
Those fake parents of yours
do look like educated elites.
But I get it.
Without these glamorous facades,
every step we take would be harder.
We've both struggled.
I bet you know this.
No matter how hard
you try, some things
don't change.
Those of us who come from nothing
need to dress ourselves
in noble disguises.
Since we're the same,
let's help each other.
Yan.
You're finally back.
What's wrong, Mom?
Haochen's birthday is early next month.
How should we celebrate it?
You can decide.
I asked him, but he wouldn't talk.
I can't handle this kid.
He likes you. He'll like whatever you do for him.
Let me think.
Ms. Ma is bringing a friend tomorrow.
She's so picky.
I have no idea
what to cook for her.
Help me.
Ms. Ma likes shrimp.
Maybe I'll make her
shrimp with black truffle oil.
- How's that? - Perfect.
And she's dieting.
I'll keep the dishes low-calorie.
Rest assured.
I know I can count on you.
Hui said she needs you in the kitchen.
- I'll go then. - Go ahead.
- What's wrong, Hui? - Yan.
How should I cook these tonight?
Steam the rainbow trout.
Haochen has been coughing.
Skip the seafood. It's inflammatory.
Replace them with vegetarian dishes.
Okay.
Did the fruits I ordered arrive?
I washed and refrigerated them.
Alright, I'm heading back then.
Yan.
I may need a day off tomorrow
for personal matters.
But Ms. Yu needs help hosting guests tomorrow.
Go ahead. I'll handle it.
Really?
With you here, I'm completely at ease.
They all love your cooking.
Only because you help me.
Yan.
You seem
different from before.
How so?
Now, you look
like the lady of the house.

(Jingzhou Yuekang Hospital)
You want to take on patient No. 38's
spine correction surgery?
Yes, sir.
Type 1 neurofibromatosis with scoliosis.
This surgery requires extreme precision.
Any mistake could cause lifelong paralysis.
And the patient's young.
It's very challenging.
I understand.
My plan is to conduct
multiple staged surgeries
to minimize risks.
Of course,
we'll monitor
the patient's tolerance responses
during the operation.
Of course, I know
the family has concerns.
We'll handle pre-op communication carefully.
Okay.
Your suggestions are noted.
I'll discuss with the higher-ups.
Alright.
Thank you, sir.
This is a bit spicy.
Not at all.
It's amazing.
Skewers.
Have it while it's hot.
Super crispy. That's why we came.
Okay.
Smells great.
What's her deal?
What's wrong?
Why are you silent?
You ordered this. Won't you eat?
This is good.
Dig in. Don't just watch me.
I shouldn't. I'm on a diet.
That's too much.
I'll gain 500 grams tomorrow.
Dig in. I'll be right back.
Yu Yiming.
You're alone?
Why are you here?
I came with my...
I'm just getting some skewers to go.
I...
I've never seen you drink.
I avoided drinking because of work.
Fine. Let me join you. Waiter. A dozen beers.
Mind your head. Oh my.
Here.
Have some water.
Well...
I bought you breakfast.
I overdrank because I was
overwhelmed with the surgery.
I do remember what happened
afterward.
You should have told me.
Forget about it.
N-Nothing happened.
Right?
You're pretty heavy, by the way.
Carrying you was exhausting.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It won't happen again.
It's fine. It can happen.
No, no.
That's not what I meant.
You're under too much stress.
Letting loose occasionally
is actually good for you.
This is good.
Yeah.
Have you spoken to your sister lately?
No.
She's happy that you're attending
adult college.
You've been updating her about me?
She asked me to look after you.
She could've told me herself.
You're quite similar.
Both stubborn.
You care about each other,
but can't sit down for a proper talk.
I wish you could open up to each other someday,
without a messenger like me.
It doesn't matter.
Spin.
Hide.
Run.
Can't find it.
Nice.
You ruined my dress.
Bu. Sweetie.
Fetch.
Where is it?
Ms. Yu is really nice.
Well done.
Come here.
Ms. Yu.
Tianzi.
What took you so long?
We've been waiting forever.
I'm slow getting ready.
Ms. Yu, meet my friend.
Zhou Zeyuan, Mr. Zhou.
He's a rising star in tech.
- Hello, Ms. Yu. - Hello.
Ms. Ma speaks highly of you.
Just call me Randy.
Randy.
This is
Ms. Yu's daughter-in-law, Xu Yan.
Ms. Ma.
Hello.
Hello, Miss Xu.
Hello.
Let's sit over there.
I prepared
your favorite tea.
Thank you, Ms. Yu.
No wonder you won't hang out with me.
You prefer a younger company now.
You know me best, Ms. Yu.
I just love
supporting
young entrepreneurs.
I met Randy at the venture forum, and we hit it off.
So I'm introducing him to you.
Randy, what exactly do you do?
Ms. Yu,
I work in new medical tech.
I empower medical systems
with cutting-edge tech,
making healthcare accessible
and streamlining doctors' work.
Ms. Yu,
this is the hottest field now.
Young people today
have talent
and drive.
They just need resources and chances.
Supporting them
benefits us too.
It's a win-win.
Ms. Yu,
if I'm not mistaken,
your outfit is from
that famous Italian designer,
Maygeogin, right?
Yeah, it's the new model they just released this year.
This designer debuted recently and is still niche.
Few people know about her.
How could you tell?
She held a fashion show in New York
when she graduated
from Parsons,
and we met there.
Her works have a strong and impressive
personal style.
I thought people in tech and the internet industries
weren't that interested in fashion.
But you're a connoisseur.
Mom, I'll get some hot water.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
Take your time.
You know, Ms. Yu.
Randy mainly works on tech,
but he has great connections.
He has many friends from
the fashion and art circles.
His taste is impeccable.
Miss Xu.
Where's the restroom?
Should I discuss with you
or your mother-in-law
about the investment?
Zhou Zeyuan.
Randy.
You're being naive.
Your business proposal
and financial statements
can't fool
my mother-in-law
or my husband.
Forget about getting investment.
Whether he invests
depends on how well you whisper
in his ear.
Besides, I'm only asking for a tiny investment from him.
He won't care about it.
What do you mean?
In this circle,
how much you get
isn't as important as
who you get it from.
A hundred thousand from a tycoon
is more valuable than
five million from some island chief.
For other investors,
who back you up
and endorse you,
is their primary criterion
to judge your potential.
That's why I never intended
to have your husband
make big investments.
You want to use his reputation
to attract more money, right?
It just hit me
how incredibly attractive
intelligent women look.
You're disgusting.
Let me make it clear.
No.
Xu Yan, you...
Qiao Yan.
This name makes us closer, doesn't it?
Don't tell me that
you genuinely
love Shen Haoming,
not his money, status,
or his family's influence.
I don't owe you explanations.
But you should know
everything you're doing now
is extortion and illegal.
Qiao Yan.
It's fascinating how much you're trying
to protect Shen Haoming.
You're actually love-struck.
Let me tell you the most ridiculous story
I've heard this year.
A common scammer married into wealth
not for money,
but for true love.
Isn't this more absurd than fairy tales...?
Thankfully, it's not burning.
The dry-cleaning bill
is included in the investment.
So smart.
Unbelievable.
Ms. Yu, really,
you've even trained Bu so well.
You're amazing.
I'm so clumsy.
I splashed water everywhere
when I washed my hands.
You're hilarious.
It's okay.
I'll have Yan bring
Haoming's clothes.
You can wear those.
- Sorry for the trouble. - Don't mention it.
Is Ms. Yu's faucet at home
too high-tech for you?
It's different from mine.
I got confused.
No worries.
- It's alright. - Okay, Mr. Shen.
Xu Yan.
Sorry. The traffic was terrible.
Mr. Shen, nice to meet you.
I'm Zhou Zeyuan, Xu Yan's friend.
Hello.
Are you dining here too?
Didn't Xu Yan inform you?
She invited me here.
I've been swamped
and forgot to tell you.
It's okay.
She said you'd be
having lunch here.
- So she invited me over. - Okay.
Mr. Shen, the dishes are ready.
- An extra table setting. - Yes, sir.
