Pierwsze 191 wierszy.
It's been ten years since I left Shanghai.
From what I can put together from the news,
Shanghai has become turbulent
and full of plots and schemes.
Yet my father has become
President of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce
at such a precarious time.
And the Mu Residence, once familiar to me,
has long had a new hostess.
Be careful, you guys!
Hurry up! It's already late.
Who arranged those flowers? They're a bit tilted!
- Fix it, now! - Madam.
Miss Wanting requested that a car be sent to pick up her friend,
but every car in the house has been sent to the train station
to pick up the Provincial Military Governor and the Provincial Commander.
There's only one left, but it's to pick up Miss Wanqing at the pier.
Just borrow another car then.
But Miss Wanqing's ship will arrive too soon for that.
I'm afraid it will be too late.
Xiaohui, are you stupid or what?
Don't you understand the words I'm saying?
Busybody.
Wanqing,
you must take good care of yourself.
If you are not happy when you are back,
take the dowry I kept from back then
and use it to move out.
Live a good and independent life.
Mother, please rest assured,
I'll do what you've told me,
and live well for you and my brother.
Welcome. This way, please.
Please.
Can I get you something?
A cup of coffee and a copy of the Japanese paper, please.
Understood.
Honey,
I feel…
I feel...
like I've got an upset stomach.
Would it be all right if I leave you
and go back to lie down?
No, definitely not. I don't have an appetite without you.
But I'm really not feeling well.
Be good, all right?
Just stay.
I can't eat alone.
But I have a stomach ache.
All right,
feel it for yourself.
It really hurts.
Go ahead.
Miss, your newspaper.
Thank you.
So your stomach ache is gone.
Why open my suitcase?
You'll get into trouble if you rush into action.
Provincial Military Governor Xu has strong connections in Shanghai.
Do you think you can turn Shanghai upside down
simply by buying off the Defense Commander of Shanghai?
It's not possible!
So that's why
you want to steal my defense map
and hand it to Xu Bojun's men?
If your plan is leaked,
you'll call it off.
Junior Marshal.
In truth,
I only do this to help you.
I want to prevent you from making a grave mistake.
You betray me,
and say it's for my own good?
Junior Marshal, how can you say that?
Can you not feel
my sincerity?
Junior Marshal,
you're hurting me.
Quiet!
Thank you.
You're Japanese?
Japanese?
Okay.
Be quiet, or I will kill you.
Okay?
Someone will pick me up at the pier.
If I don't show up, they will call the police.
Come with me.
No!
Relax.
And now... you have to stay with me.
I'll let you go when we get off.
Stay here.
Help! Help!
Sir, I just heard something break. Shall I clean it up?
Sir? I'll enter if you don't say anything.
- Get out! - Apologies, sir!
You have to remember what I say, okay?
Let me go, please.
Sure. Come with me.
Go. Come with me.
Relax.
Are they waiting for you?
Forget everything. Don't let me down, okay?
Go.
Watch out! Make way, please! Make way.
Excuse me. Please make way.
- Hello. - Hello.
Old Wu, how is everything going?
Xu Bojun has been watching me more closely these days.
He has me followed wherever I go.
I said I was picking up my nephew at the pier to remove their attention from me.
Old Wu, why do I feel like you're taking advantage of me?
It's the only way.
He's been trying to get something on me.
He wants to replace me with his confidant.
Whether I, Wu Xiangying, live or die
depends on your family, the Tans.
Well, don't worry. I have come to Shanghai alone.
You have all my belongings. I consider you one of us.
You saved my life on the battlefield, so I know you are a righteous man.
By following me, you've shown your respect.
As long as I've got a bite of food, you won't starve.
So, Junior Marshal, your forces... Have you arranged…?
They are outside the city. Don't worry. They're reliable.
Ah, but… who was the girl you disembarked with?
Remember Xu Man?
She was a traitor.
While I was dealing with her body, that girl saw me.
Then maybe you should…
Watch out! Make way, please!
She understands Chinese.
Damn! Hurry!
Why hasn't the chauffeur arrived?
That was a surprise. You're a smart one.
Quit pretending and behave.
Don't move.
Don't touch that!
S-Sir, I've only come back to bury my mother.
I promise I won't say a thing.
Mu Wanqing.
You almost fooled me.
I thought you were a harmless Japanese girl.
What do you want?
You'll have to put up with
being handcuffed to me for a bit.
It's to make sure that you don't cause any trouble.
That shouldn't be a problem, right?
Junior Marshal, I suggest we just shoot her and throw her body in the river.
Old Wu, put the gun down. Think of her as your niece-in-law. Forget it.
You really are a gentleman. Fine.
Be good.
Be careful! My goodness.
- Mother! - Eh?
Do I look good in this outfit?
Am I a good match for Brother Guangyao?
My sweetheart, look at you.
Don't talk about Guangyao all day, every day.
You're a lady now. You should be more reserved.
Mother, if I'm always reserved, someone else will steal Brother Guangyao from me.
This time, Provincial Military Governor Xu has come to Shanghai to ask your father for a big favor.
So you and Guangyao will definitely be together.
Really?
Old Wu, you can leave now.
Shanghai Defense Command, we have a reservation.
And the lady?
I'm Commander Wu's nephew. This is my wife.
If you don't believe me, you can call to verify my identity.
That won't be necessary.
Here's your key. The room is on the fourth floor.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Men from the governor's house.
Junior Marshal, this way, please.
How many times have I told you?
We shouldn't have played so hard last night.
You didn't listen to me, and now we've lost the key.
What shall we do now? So embarrassing. Isn't it?
Excuse us. We've made ourselves a joke.
Do you have a death wish?
I didn't do it on purpose. I pressed the button subconsciously.
Move!
Come in!
Let me go!
What do you want?
That's my question to you.
Ever since we got off the ship, I've been cooperative.
I'm still unmarried and I'm not so shameless
that I'd cooperate in this charade.
You're quite expressive.
My fault then.
