Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

Guan Guan.

Sheng Mei has left too.

I feel like my life is over.

I think so too.

You've been out of it ever since Labor Day.

You don't work on your sales either.

Very soon, just relying on your fixed salary and no commission

you won't even be able to pay the property management fee.

Unless you're willing to ask your dad for money

you'll have to live frugally.

We're white-collar workers who came to Shanghai to work

and have nothing to rely on.

We can only afford our basic needs by being industrious and conscientious.

We can't afford something like love.

All right, let it go.

It's time to pull yourself together and get to work.

I understand that.

But I just feel so down. I just don't feel like it.

White-collars don't deserve to have feelings.

Think back on it. When you lost your job, did anybody care about your mood?

Did anybody care about your feelings?

That's why you have to treasure the job you have now.

You can't keep wasting time like this.

Get up.

It's Saturday today.

You have to bury Ying Qin in the shortest time possible.

You have all day tomorrow to reset your mood.

The day after tomorrow, go to work in high spirits

and go make a living.

You have no other choice.

Guan Guan, how old are you? How come you're so cruel?

I'd like to ask how old you are. How come you're so naive?

Eat up.

After you're done eating, think about your life situation.

Time waits for nobody.

Property management fee, rent, water and electricity, and phone bill.

Think about it yourself.

This isn't a mistake I made.

It's not that I persist only for a moment.

It's not that I'm overly weak.

It's not that I don't believe in myself.

I want to soar in the open sky.

Only music leads me to freedom.

- What is this? - Takeout money.

You're so cold-blooded.

Qiu Ying Ying, can you think before you speak?

How am I cold-blooded?

I've been worrying about you before the sun rose.

I've been calling others and apologizing to them for you.

I postponed my own matters to hurry back here for you.

I even brought you dinner. How am I cold-blooded?

Don't you know words can hurt?

What right do you have to hurt me so rashly?

Have you treated me like I am your best friend?

Do you think of me as Ying Qin?

I ask that you stop being so preposterous.

Think and work carefully.

Depend on yourself.

You can only depend on yourself.

I forgive you.

You're a child.

I don't need your forgiveness. I didn't do anything wrong.

Investigate who is to blame. You're the one to blame.

Guan Guan.

You're right.

From now on, I won't be checking Weibo anymore.

Don't check WeChat Moments either.

You'll just get upset.

Can you help me with something?

I don't want to be like before.

Can you delete everything on my computer that has to do with him?

Give me your phone too.

All right, I've already told Ying Qin

to change his phone number and all online usernames.

Unless you go to his house and stalk him in person

you won't be receiving any news regarding him.

Drink some water.

Guan Guan.

Thank you.

You're so good to me.

I know I've been very annoying lately.

I've been annoying all of you.

I shouldn't annoy my friends but I really couldn't help myself.

I've been having a really hard time. I couldn't control myself.

I'm actually the child here.

I'm the most immature.

Guan Guan.

Can you give me a hug?

I admit I'm quite foolish and stupid

but sometimes, I just want to lie to myself that

someone still cares about me.

Qiu Ying Ying isn't someone who can easily walk away from a relationship.

It is her quality as well as her weakness.

Everybody on the 22nd floor

has been doing their best to pull her out of the abyss.

Gently, harshly, cleverly, pointedly.

Qiu Ying Ying was still in pain but she understood

she couldn't let down all those who loved her.

She must keep moving forward.

Mom, what have you been going through the past few days?

Look at you.

Don't pretend to visit me out of filial love.

Mom, you're saying that against your own conscience.

When have I ever pretended?

Mom, don't you often say I can see through people?

Please trust me this time.

I have a good understanding of Andie.

I know what to do.

It'd be great if you do.

She doesn't care about you at all.

She told me very clearly.

She finds it troublesome and doesn't plan on marrying you.

She is just playing around with you.

Would a good woman say something like that?

She's used to being a mistress.

She isn't being serious with you.

You're angering your mother for a woman like that.

Mom, are we unable to get past this?

- What spell has she cast on you? - How many times have I told you?

It's not what you think.

You listen to everything she says.

You won't even listen to your own parents.

Mom, we're digressing even further now.

You don't understand.

You haven't been listening clearly.

Andie isn't saying she's never getting married.

I told her we'll date first and enjoy the feeling of being in love.

If we feel comfortable together, then we'll consider marriage.

Isn't... Isn't it a normal sequence?

Children don't understand the lengths parents go to.

You'll never understand a mother's heart.

I carried you in my womb for 10 months and raised you to be a big man.

When I think that someone wants to harm you and play around with you

my heart is gripped with pain.

Mom, you really don't have to worry about this.

- You say not to. - I'm so old already.

- How can I not? - How long can you worry about me?

You can't hold on to me my whole life.

This woman is formidable.

She's made you able to say such things.

Wei Guo Qiang is too capable.

He is capable himself.

He is capable at finding a wife.

He is capable at finding a mistress.

He's about to ruin my family.

I have to ask him whether he's going to control his own mistress.

Wait, Mom, what are you going to do?

- Don't stop me. - Mom, you're still sick!

Don't stop me!

I'm going to ask that woman if her sugar daddy, Wei Guo Qiang, knows

she's seducing my son behind his back.

I'm also going to ask Wei Guo Qiang

whether he cares that his mistress is fooling around with other men!

Mom, you're really sick.

Rest assured, I won't be letting you out of this house today.

Will you be home every day?

Will you be home every second of the day?

Will you be able to keep an eye on me? Are you going to lock me up or tie me up?

You are my flesh and blood. You are my life!

I won't let anyone manipulate you!

I'd fight it out with them even if I have to risk my life.

- Mom. - Go away!

Wait, Andie is Wei Guo Qiang's daughter!

Daughter?

If she's his daughter, why would they be so secretive?

They can be open about it. What is there to hide?

Andie doesn't want anyone to know.

their father-daughter relationship.

So Wei Guo Qiang is someone like that.

He's getting old and wanted to find his own daughter

and leave his entire inheritance to Andie.

Perhaps Andie might even be able to find her mother.

What are you thinking of doing?

I want to warn you.

A person's dignity is as important as bark to a tree.

The higher their status, the more they cling to their pride.

They're afraid of their weaknesses exposed.

Listen, don't say I didn't warn you.

Don't rely on your relationship to Andie and run your mouth.

It's fine if you just ask Andie.

But if you ask Mr. Wei and he finds out you know

watch how he will deal with us.

Now you're saying this?

If I didn't stop you, where would you be now?

Mom, as you said

a person's dignity is as important as bark to a tree.

I'm begging you.

Leave me some dignity in front of Andie.

Fine, fine.

I won't interfere in your relationship anymore.

However, you have to promise me you'll marry Andie soon.

Don't waste time enjoying your dating life.

It's more important to get married soon.

Mom.

Are you not feeling so sick anymore?

Did I say I was sick?

Son, hurry back to your room to sleep.

Head back to Shanghai tomorrow morning to be with Andie.

- Quickly, quickly. - Mom, there's no hurry.

If not for you wasting my time, I'd have been at Andie's place right now.
