The Interpreter (亲爱的翻译官)

Hello? Hi, Jia Yang.

- Miss Zhang, it's Jia Yang. - Just hang up.

Wait.

Auntie, if you don't take his calls

then you'll just push him away from you.

You're right. Give me the phone.

Go on.

Mom, are you free tomorrow?

I want to take you out for lunch.

How nice of you, but it's not my birthday tomorrow.

Why are you taking me out for lunch?

Auntie.

Listen.

If you book somewhere that's close to my office

then I'll try to make it.

Okay, I'll pick somewhere close to your office.

I'll send you the time and place later.

Make sure you come, okay?

He hung up.

That was quick.

Auntie.

I think you should go to lunch with Jia Yang.

He must have realized that he made you upset on your birthday.

I think he wants to make it up to you.

Okay, I'll go.

Xiao Hua, I want you to go with me.

I'll feel a lot better if you go with me.

Mom, stop tidying up.

Fei Fei, I've already left the hospital.

I'm okay now. You don't have to look after me anymore.

Mom, you've just had a major operation.

You still need to have weekly blood transfusions.

The doctor said you should avoid vigorous exercise.

Doing housework isn't vigorous exercise.

It is.

You already stopped me from hiring a housekeeper

and now you won't even let me look after you.

I don't want you to get too tired.

Fei Fei, how did things go

when you went to Jia Yang's mom's birthday party?

Did she accept you?

Seeing how upset you've been today

I already knew it must have been very difficult for you to please his mom.

I'm okay, Mom.

- So are you and Jia Yang-- - Mom.

I still have to read through some information.

You can go to bed first.

That's weird.

What are you doing here?

I'm just as surprised to see you here.

I thought my brother only invited me to lunch.

What is he trying to do?

I hope he's not going to tell us that he's marrying Qiao Fei.

What are you talking about?

There's no way I'll let him marry her.

Look at you. It's just a joke.

Relax, okay?

If Jia Yang really decides to marry Qiao Fei

you'd probably eat her alive.

Jia Ming, I don't find that funny at all.

Didn't you see how mad I was when I saw Jia Yang's girlfriend yesterday?

I'm still very upset about it.

Can't you at least show some sympathy?

Calm down.

You know what?

You look so dignified when you get mad.

- That's enough. - You remind me of a historical person.

Empress Wu Zetian.

As well as Empress Dowager Cixi who sits behind the emperor.

Look, Xiao Hua's sitting beside you like a palace maid.

Your Highness.

If you're going to keep being ridiculous

- then get out. - I can't go.

My brother doesn't treat me to lunch often.

Look.

Here comes my brother and your future daughter-in-law.

Mom, Jia Ming, Xiao Hua.

Auntie, Jia Ming, Xiao Hua.

Have a seat.

Jia Yang.

I only agreed to have lunch with you.

Why did you bring an outsider with you?

I don't want yesterday's incident to happen again.

If you insist on forcing me

to have lunch with someone I don't like

- then I'll go. - Mom.

You must stay for lunch.

Because I have a very important announcement to make.

Hear that? Your son has an important announcement to make.

I'm sure you want to hear it, right?

Auntie, since you're here already

let's just have lunch together.

Jia Yang, since we're all here already, let's ask them to serve lunch.

Just a minute. I'm still waiting for one more person.

Who?

You didn't invite Mr. Tian as well, did you?

Jia Yang.

Don't be so silly.

Why would you want to ask your dad to come as well?

Listen.

You're still very young, so I hope you won't regret your decision.

Okay?

You two aren't really getting married, are you?

Jia Yang. Sis.

Jin Bao.

What are you doing here?

Jia Yang said you wanted to see me.

Uncle Jin Bao, have a seat.

Since everybody's here now

let's begin.

I'd like to clarify something today.

Mom, Brother.

You kept saying that Qiao Fei took the 100,000 yuan that you offered her before.

But she told me she never took the money

and that she'd already returned it to Uncle Jin Bao.

Nonsense.

Sis, please believe me.

Jia Yang, how could you doubt your own uncle because of an outsider?

Uncle, calm down.

I'm not doubting anyone.

All I want to do is clarify the matter.

I don't want anyone to be mistaken.

Jia Yang.

It's been a long time. Just forget it.

Excuse me. I know it's been years

but it's true that you took the 100,000 yuan.

What was worth 100,000 yuan back then

is worth a lot more now.

Uncle, I agree with you.

100,000 yuan is quite a huge amount.

That's why we can't just let it disappear.

I also don't want anyone to be mistaken.

So I asked a friend of mine who works at a bank.

He said if I want to check on a particular transaction

all I have to do is to submit an application.

So I applied to check Qiao Fei's bank transactions

and discovered an amount of 100,000 yuan that was deposited and then withdrawn.

But the corresponding bank account was in your name.

But of course

you can also try to prove

that Qiao Fei had deposited the money into your account

and then you returned the money to her.

If you're able to show us evidence, then I'll wait for it.

But if you can't, then I'll definitely find out where the money had gone.

I lost my bank card a long time ago.

That's okay. I've already asked my friend.

As long as the account's still there, then we can easily track it down.

Uncle, you better think about it.

Can you tell us where the money went?

Sis, look at him.

Look how disrespectful he is.

What is he trying to say here?

- How can he treat his uncle like this? - I respect you as my uncle.

All I want to do is clarify where the 100,000 yuan went.

I don't want my girlfriend

to keep being accused of something that she didn't do.

I probably made a mistake.

- I can't remember. - Really? Then let's try to remember.

100,000 yuan isn't a small amount.

Where did it go?

As Qiao Fei's boyfriend

it's only right for me to prove her innocence.

I must clarify the matter today.

Otherwise I'll never give up.

Jia Yang, Uncle Jin Bao's getting quite old.

You shouldn't embarrass him.

Uncle.

If you've really done something, just tell us.

Everyone here is our family.

I'm sure both my mom and Qiao Fei will forgive you.

But if we don't have it sorted out today

then I'll just have to go to the bank again

and have those transactions printed out and put them in front of you.

Then things will only get much uglier.

Jia Yang.

Sis.

I didn't have a choice back then.

So you really took that money?

Back then

my son lost a lot of money through gambling.

As you know, he's my only son.

My wife begged me to help him.

I couldn't say no... Sis, that's so silly of me.

Uncle Jin Bao, are you sure you were just being silly?

You even reassured us that Qiao Fei had taken the money.

Uncle.

I know you probably made a mistake.

But you kept blaming it on Qiao Fei for all these years.

Don't you ever feel bad about it?

That's enough.

Jin Bao.

I'm so disappointed in you.

Since you've already admitted it, let's just put an end to it.

- Xiao Hua, let's go. - Mom.

Anything else?

Is there anything else that you need to clarify?

Even though the truth is out

how come I feel as if you're blaming me?

Jia Yang, why would I blame you?

Jin Bao's your uncle and my brother.
