If Paris Downcast (Paris Unhappy / Ru Ruo Ba Li Bu Kuai Le / 如若巴黎不快乐)

Episode 31

Tell me, what is it about him...

that makes you want to do this?

Why him?

Is it worth it?

I have to do an information search.

Give me the files.

I was just joking with you.

You don't have to work.

Go home and rest. I am giving you a holiday. A holiday!

If you are not happy with me,

-you can ask for another person. -What?

I said I'm giving you a holiday.

Come back, come back!

Daddy,

-good morning. -Good morning.

How is it? Are you accustomed to living here?

It's okay.

Did Jie Bai notice anything?

Did she ask you?

No.

She asked for a video chat with me a few days ago,

but I found an excuse to reject her.

Looks like we can't fool her for too long.

Work as fast as you can.

Actually things have progressed better than we anticipated.

Zhengqing is hiring an assistant for Ruan Man Jun.

I've already passed the interview.

If things go as planned, I'll get an offer.

After you finished 7 years of international law studies,

I originally made plan for you to manage Hongye's legal work.

I didn't expect you to become somebody's assistant first.

For my own daughter's sake,

I made my adopted daughter suffer.

Do you blame me?

You adopted me, and educated me like your own daughter.

I owe you for what I have today.

I didn't call you father...

because I don't want Jie Bai to feel intruded upon.

In my heart, you are my father,

and Jie Bai is my sister.

You two are the closest people I have on this Earth.

So, daddy, don't talk to me as if I am an outsider.

Take care of yourself.

After Jie Bai gets married,

daddy will personally find an excellent suitor for you.

However, you have to promise me one thing.

Don't be as wilful as Jie Bai.

I believe your judgement is better than mine.

Okay.

I have to leave first. I have something on. Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Take care.

-Bye bye. -Bye bye.

Hello.

Excuse me, do you work at the Zhengqing Law Firm?

Yes.

Do you know me?

I went to Zhengqing for an interview last time,

and I saw you in the office but I didn't say hello.

I am He Xi Jia. Nice to meet you. I'm a new employee at Zhengqing.

I'm Ruan Man Jun.

I'm a next-to-new employee at Zhengqing by a few months.

You're still my senior, your guidance will be much appreciated.

Let's go in together.

-Okay, let's go. -Let's go.

Ms Ruan's legal skills are incredible.

Learn from her.

-Come in. -Mr Cheng, did you ask for me?

Let me introduce to you.

This is He Xi Jia, your new assistant.

Nice to meet you, Ms Ruan.

Not satisfied?

No, I am very satisfied.

That's great.

Ms He, please coordinate with Ms Ruan.

I will.

Then I'll go first.

-See you again, Ms Ruan. -See you tomorrow.

Sheila!

Jasmine!

Whose idea is it?

Mine.

Ours.

This is for your own good.

What are you trying to do?

What do you suspect?

What do you think?

Don't forget.

Tong Zhuo Yao skipped the engagement and went to Paris for her last time.

I guarantee that he will not do it again, okay?

I won't intervene in your affairs in future.

Can you leave Ruan Man Jun?

What do you think? if I leave all of a sudden,

wouldn't Ruan Man Jun feel suspicious?

When you went there, did you not think this could happen?

Jie Bai,

I'm not going to do anything to Ruan Man Jun.

Moreover, how can I help you if I stay by your side?

I'm very happy.

Don't deprive me of my rights, okay?

But you are not taking care of me.

All right,

I promise, once you fix your wedding date with Tong Zhuo Yao,

I'll return to Canada immediately, okay?

Agreed.

The moment the engagement is over, you will leave Ruan Man Jun.

When I called her, she promised to come.

She even said she would meet you at your company.

Why did she get off the car half way?

You must have quarrelled with her.

Call her yourself and ask her.

I'm negotiating about cooperation with several companies.

If I can seal a deal before the engagement,

I hope you don't force me to do what I don't want to do.

It is too late to tell me this now.

I've always kept what I just said in my heart.

Were it not because of your health,

and were it not for Tong Group's hopeless state,

I wouldn't have dragged it on.

Mum, you can't make me sell myself to the Ye Family...

in exchange for the Tong Group.

Then who will you sell yourself to? Ruan Man Jun?

Mum, I don't want to argue with you over this.

Don't you side with her!

Tell me, if not for her, would the Tong Group end up this way?

Get this right!

Jie Bai is helping Ruan Man Jun pay her debts now.

Mum, if you were Auntie Zhong Wen,

what would you do?

Aren't you afraid Jie Bai will end up like Auntie Zhong Wen?

I'm afraid.

But I'm even more afraid that I'll end up living like dad,

and spend every single day hating myself.

I'm done thinking.

Did Ms Ruan assign you to Jinhe's case?

I'm just...

Miss He, I have been there. Let me remind you.

Mind your own business and stay within your limits.

Only Ms Ruan can handle certain work.

Don't run to somebody's company like an idiot.

You'll just get chased out.

Ms Zhang,

is there a problem with Jinhe's contract?

You better ask Ms Ruan,

what is the relationship between her and Jinhe's Mr Dai?

He is not a teacher. He is also a volunteer.

The children like him very much. They call him brother.

Mind your own business and stay within your limits.

Don't run to somebody's company like an idiot.

You'll just get chased out.

Let's see if you can walk.

Move.

-Take two steps and jump. -Let me see.

I fell when I was young.

Boys won't grow up if they don't fall.

This can make us grow up.

Can both of us play?

Thank you.

Jia Jia.

Daddy.

Why are you here?

Anything urgent you want to see me about?

Don't worry, nobody noticed me.

I came today to ask you about somebody.

Who?

Jinhe's director, Dai Jing Jie.

You all did your jobs well.

Your performance was good.

Aside for some slight mistakes, everything was good.

I would like to mention Ruan Man Jun in particular.

She did her job exceptionally.

I hope you all will learn from her.

Recently, several new companies asked us to handle their legal matters.

If I'm not wrong,

he should be Tong Zhuo Yao's half brother from a different mother.

No wonder I couldn't find any information about his family.

That's right.

He has no parents to educate him.

Then Tong Zhuo Yao's father...

-will be... -Tong Hai Zhen never cared about him.

Everybody knows,

Zhong Wen committed suicide by jumping into the river with her child.

But when her body was fished up, the child was not there.

The search went on for a while but his body was not found,

so it was stopped.

I don't know how this kid grew up outside for so many years.

Fortunately, after studying abroad he went to the Zhong Family.

You can say he has someone to depend on.

No wonder he volunteered at the orphanage.

What?

Nothing. I said,

no wonder his relationship with Ruan Man Jun is so special.

So he really is related to Tong Zhuo Yao.

Let's not pay attention to the Tong Family's rotten affairs.

You only have to monitor Ruan Man Jun and Tong Zhuo Yao.

But still, ever since I joined the law firm,

I've never seen them together.

Perhaps you are paranoid?

It won't hurt to be extra careful.
