Moon River Episode 23

Director, there's a problem.

What's wrong? Why are you overreacting?

That American company was bought by Sean Morgan.

Michael and the others can barely defend themselves.

Huh?

Doesn't that mean

the girl from the Feng family is going to America to work?

Yes, that girl is rather close to the new management team.

I don't think we can interfere with her for now.

Why would I interfere with her?

There is no benefit for me. - That's right.

Then, what about Mu Liu Bing?

President, you are incredible.

He didn't go to America, just as you predicted.

Who is powerful enough to drive Sean Morgan to take over another company?

We need to be more careful.

Yes, that's right.

He's really working at a coffee shop.

Liu Bing, when will you stop degrading yourself like this?

I won't allow you to humiliate yourself like this because of Ming Xiao Xi.

I will definitely win you back.

Goodbye. One day, I will officially earn you.

I want to give you some advice.

Maybe you will win Mu Liu Bing over one day,

but when that time comes, you will lose more than you will gain.

I'm begging you, let yourself free.

You think you are hurting Ming Xiao Xi? No, you are hurting yourself.

And I would never want to see you get hurt.

Blaming me?

I don't care if you guys blame me or not.

I only care that even if I can't have what I want,

I will not allow you guys to be happy.

You're playing with fire right now. You can't mess with Tie Da Qi. With just one small mistake, you will burn yourself!

Yes, I'm fighting against Tie Da Qi.

At least, I have the courage to play with fire. What about you?

With just one look from him, you become too scared to even breathe.

Why was she drunk everyday?

Why did she choose to leave me here and end her life?

Let me explain— - You don't need to explain!

Mom died because of you!

Mom died because of you!

Why are you sitting here alone

instead of sleeping?

Oh, Dad.

Look.

Ah Bing is working at a coffee shop.

What's so bad about it?

It's called self-reliance.

At least, he's better than his father, someone who has to live off of somebody else.

Dad, it's not like you don't understand me.

You, just stop talking.

You'll say that it's "all for the benefit of the business,"

or "for the benefit of somebody."

You, Mu Ying Xiong,

what's left of you?

I just don't understand. I only know that in this world, there is no other father

who loves his own son in this way.

Think about it. Think of a way to make Ah Bing at least willing to sit down with you.

Are you okay, Skating Grandma? Is it because you're overworking?

I'm okay.

What about you? You work so many jobs. I'm more worried about you.

I'm still okay, too. I've already quit the jobs at the vehicle store and the gas station, anyway.

Is your stomach hurting again?

Give me your hand.

Hey, why are you purposely holding my hand?

What are you talking about?

Doing this will help you feel better.

May I ask what I can help you with?

What do you want to do?

I've already rejected the Karate Club. I'm sorry.

Ming Xiao Xi, can you join our Taekwondo Club?

Taekwondo Club?

Of course. Please don't join the Karate Club.

The Taekwondo Club needs a person like you to join.

I beg you! - I beg you!

What's going on right now?

Junior Xiao Xi, do you still remember this video?

You attack with the speed of lightening!

And your running start had such explosive force behind it!

You have just the right qualifications for the Taekwondo Club.

Flawless. Give her a round of applause.

I really don't have time. I'm sorry.

Taekwondo Club does seem pretty interesting.

Skating Grandma!

Don't tell me...

Whatever. I don't care anymore!

Ming Xiao Xi! Please join Taekwondo Club! Save us!

I don't want to!

Ming Xiao Xi is becoming more and more popular.

Hello? Grandpa?

Please take a look. Thank you.

Please take a look. Thank you.

I really don't know what it feels like to work.

If Brother Che could work with me one day, I would be very happy.

Classmate, excuse me.

May I help you pass out flyers?

I really want to know how it feels to work.

Please.

How about I buy it from you? I'll buy your vest, too.

Here, classmate. Take a look.

Here, here, here.

Yes, yes. Here.

Here, here, here.

Here, all for you.

Hao Xue! Why are you passing out flyers?

I'm practicing working.

Practicing?

Yes. If I learn how to work, Brother Che might be able to work together with me one day.

You don't understand.

No, but...

But no one passes out this many pages at once.

Really?

I'll help you.

Rui Xi is such a great and nice person. He can always give me a sense of security,

but it's different from what I feel around Brother Che.

He's so normal and plain, and always foolishly appear by my side whenever I need warmth the most.

Lucy has such good taste. The moment she meets such a great guy, she finds the courage to pursue him.

Thank you, Rui Xi. Thanks to you, I've become braver and braver, too.

Let's keep it up.

Thank you, my best friend, Rui Xi.

Rui Xi, leave some for me! If you pass all of them out, what will I use to practice?

Classmate, excuse me. - Here, classmate.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, you told me to hurry home. Is there something wrong?

Here, sit.

Go, sit.

No matter what, sit down first.

You need to patiently listen to what your dad has to say.

Ah Bing, he is our witness lawyer.

I called you here today to register all of my property and company stocks under your name, with the lawyer as witness.

Here are all of the company's stocks and real estates.

It also includes all of your old credit cards and car keys.

They're all in here. They mostly all belong to you now, so stop holding a grudge against me.

Move back home today, okay?

I don't want to.

I don't want any of these things.

Am I—

Ah Bing, these things will eventually all belong to you, anyway.

You are your father's only son. Who else can he give them to?

Grandpa, I don't want it.

I don't want any of the money.

What problem do you have?

Are you even my son?

Wait.

We agreed to peacefully talk this out.

We'll leave for now. You two can talk it out.

Just like what your grandpa said, all of these will eventually be yours. They belong to you.

I reject.

Why?

Do you really want to go against me like that?

Haven't you tormented yourself enough?

Serving coffee? You're just trying to anger me to death.

I'm not committing a crime, so what's wrong with it?

I'm not the one tormenting myself.

Ah Bing, I know that you really want to go against Tie Da Qi,

and I'm telling you, I want to do it even more.

Yes. You want to, but I've never seen you do it.

Ah Bing, this is something that needs time.

No, it needs courage.

Otherwise, Mom wouldn't have died.

Brother Che! I did something really unique today.

What is it that made you so happy today?

Today, I... - Dong Hao Xue!

I was just looking for you.

On my way to school, I saw you passing out flyers. What's going on?

I was just... working.

Working?

Alright, another Guang Yu student whom Ming Xiao Xi has possessed.

That's not true.

Guang Yu's Elite Union President, Mu Liu Bing, is working at a coffee shop.

My sister, Dong Hao Xue, is passing out flyers on the streets.

Okay. Che, will you start a small business, too?

What's wrong with this world?

Not bad, Brother Che.

I've already planned it out. I think you're really suited to sell flowers.

I'll sell flowers with you, okay?

I'll consider it. - Really?

Ah Che, stop. My sister is speaking nonsense, and you're playing along.

You guys continue. I'm leaving.

Also, Dong Hao Xue, don't tell others that you are my sister.

Xiao Xi, Ah Bing went home to see his father.

Did you know about it?

I didn't know. Did something happen?

It's a long story.

The two of them...

It probably went okay, right?

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

You... Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

What about you going home?

I heard that... - I've never been at peace with my father.
