Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

Hello.

Neither of us have plans this weekend.

Please take me in?

I do have plans.

I'm going to Nantong to meet Bao Yi Fan and his parents.

It can't be...

I'm all pathetic but you're going so well...

- This is so unfair... - What should we do?

His mom has invited me over so many times.

I've figured things out now.

Since I've decided to be with him

I should get along with his family fittingly.

I don't expect us to be loving but we would at least be respectful.

That's what you impress me the most.

You're so sensible and decisive.

But I still have a word of advice for you.

When it comes to the mother-in-law

that theory of yours is useless.

It will only provoke her even more.

I don't buy it.

Those cunning old foxes have been training for years.

You're no match for them.

I must tag along as your bodyguard.

I can't let you get bullied by the wicked mother-in-law.

No! How can I take you with me?

You'll only mess things up.

I don't care. I want to tag along.

I'm tagging along.

I'm tagging along!

I'm tagging along!

I'm tagging along!

Dr. Zhao! Dr. Zhao!

Dr. Zhao! Dr. Zhao!

Dr. Zhao!

All right then.

Come and pick me up.

Take me back to your apartment.

I can't stand to stay in my apartment even for a minute.

I can see him in every corner.

It's dreadful.

If that's the case, you should stay in a hotel.

Do you have to be so cold-blooded?

All right, I'll pick you up.

Wait for me.

I'll be waiting for you.

Wang Bai Chuan.

Get back here quickly. The sooner, the better.

I really can't stand it.

He's alive and lying here.

Listen.

He can't speak and his eyes can't even roll around.

I'm really scared.

Your dad and I didn't even dare to raise our voices.

What will your dad and I do if anything happens to him?

Mom, don't panic.

Don't move him either. I'm thinking of a plan.

Move him? I wouldn't dare.

He's exactly where they left him.

We're all walking around him.

We don't even dare to go out.

What if anything happens to him while we're away? Whose fault is it?

I've already told you not to be with her.

I told you not to but you just won't listen!

Look.

I told you to break up but you wouldn't.

Your dad and I will no sooner die in your hands!

All right, Mom. Stop crying.

I'll resolve it for you now.

Xiao Mei, tell me.

My parents don't know how to feed him food or medication.

Your dad might be in danger even if no one moves him!

Your brother and sister-in-law did this to implicate my family!

What should we do now?

- What now? - What am I to do?

What will you have me do?

They are forcing me to head home.

They are forcing me to pick up my dad.

Once they run out of money, they will do it again. What am I to do?

You're my boyfriend!

You're pushing me but you won't help me?

- We have to think of a way! - What way?

Think of a way then!

We should at least come up with something!

Sheng Mei, your brother and sister-in-law are too mean!

How can they do this?

Your dad is still sick.

They abandoned him in Director Wang's home.

What if anything happens to him?

Exactly. Your mom didn't even give you a heads up.

Director Wang's parents didn't even know a thing about it.

They don't know how to look after a patient.

What if they can't take care of him?

Won't your brother be scared if something goes wrong?

He's not worried at all!

Her brother isn't just fooling around.

He's plain vicious!

Let's call the police.

Call the police.

What's the point in calling the police?

Look at your brother and his wife.

He didn't vandalize or rob my parents.

What will you do if the police tells us to sort it out in private?

My mom is going crazy with panic.

Exactly. The police can't help.

Your father is so ill.

The police won't dare to move him.

Even if the police come and deliver him back home

there's no end to it if Sheng Mei's brother and his wife

dump their dad there again.

He's simply a thug.

Director Wang, help Sheng Mei.

Only you can help Sheng Mei.

Please help Sheng Mei!

How do you expect me to help?

How?

You can help in whatever way as long as my dad stays alive.

Do you think Sheng Mei has gone back to 2202?

I have no idea.

I haven't seen her for days.

I do find her quite pitiful.

She has a home that she can't return to.

Tan always says that I seem pitiful all alone.

But looking at Sheng Mei, she's better off without a brother.

How about your brother? How is he?

I've surpassed his business in just a year.

He's totally trampled by me.

I can't help it.

Who told him to be such a loser?

He's packed with loopholes.

It's as if he's a sieve.

Ever since Dad had him punished

I heard that he'd even more outstanding now.

He's often seen at the casinos in Macau these days.

I reckon that he must have lost quite a lot of money.

That's risky.

No one should gamble.

You should remind him.

How can you send the enemy rations when you're at war?

The more of a loser he is to Dad, the better.

He's not as smart or hardworking as I am.

If anything happens, he deserves it.

But I do know myself well.

If he had your brains, he can easily crush me to death.

Don't worry, I won't.

What's wrong?

Guan Guan called for help in the group chat.

She asked us to come home.

What's wrong?

Fan family is in trouble.

It's Sheng Mei's awesome brother again.

You're finally home!

Try and come up with a plan.

Is it that easy?

What's wrong? It's so gloomy.

Let's go!

Oh yeah...

Even Associate Jiang can't help.

As long as your brother leaves your dad at the doorstep

whoever dares to step inside will be threatened by your dad's life.

Your dad is now your brother's nuclear weapon.

If we get someone to bring your father to a house

in the city that no one knows of and hire an carer to look after him

will your brother still be able to hold him hostage?

Her brother and sister-in-law are capable of such deeds.

Do you think that no one would be ambushing outside Wang's home?

They must be keeping an eye out there.

It's like a job for them.

They are waiting to see who breaks down first.

If so, we can just take him away by force.

We can get a good driver and then lose them on the highway.

You can run, but you can't hide.

If you run away, what about the Wangs?

If Sheng Mei's brother and his wife go to them

to accuse them of kidnapping and imprisonment

what should they do?

Even if the police won't take the case, what will the neighbors think?

There's only one way out.

Cede territory and pay indemnities.

I...

Can I only compromise?

Am I to let them ask anything of me?

I can't fight them off?

I...

I'll be honest with you.

I even have the desire to kill!

I've given this some thought as well.

Your brother's purpose is simple.

It's just like what you said.

Your brother is just trying to force you out of hiding by using me.

How about this?

I'll drive all the way home tonight.

I'll get a few friends to deliver your dad home.

As long as you don't show up, it will appear that we're not related.

Your brother and sister-in-law won't be coming after me.

But I can promise you that I will bring your dad home safely.

This is the only solution.

Wang Bai Chuan...

Are you that naive to think you can get off the hook?

If you get a few friends to drag her dad home by force

you're sure to get into a conflict with Sheng Mei's brother.
