Clear Midsummers Night

Episode 16

The reason I'd hoped you'd pick a fight with me

is because I will definitely win.

I can even throw away the life of my child –

how can you beat me?

This is my sister Qiao Mingjiao.

I'm very pleased to have met you today – very pleased to have met you.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

I've heard that she especially likes to target those young men with some fame and fortune.

Are you talking about the daughter of Xia Zheng Lang?

You know her?

Oh god; her most recent target is my brother.

I've disliked her since first I laid eyes on her.

I'm telling you,

besides Jing Yuan, no one else has the right to be my brother's girlfriend.

Do you want to ask who Jing Yuan is?

Mingjiao, you've come!

Whatever you buy mommy, mommy will like it.

Why haven't you come to see mom these days?

Don't pretend to be some Good Samaritan!

This is my home; these are all members of my family!

Ming Jiao.

I thought you only knew how to steal others' boyfriends.

But you can't even keep away from someone else's mentally ill mother!

What are you saying?

I didn't say anything wrong. She IS a bad woman,

pretending like she's a good person, but who knows what schemes she plots behind your back?

Serves you right that the boyfriend you stole has been stolen back from you.

Be quiet.

I'm not going to be quiet; I've only spoken the truth.

I'm telling you to be quiet!

Apologize to her.

Hurry and apologize.

Why do you want me to apologise? She plain IS a bad woman!

Apologize!

You're the bad woman!

Make her go. Go!

Now look what you've done.

This – this is the daughter your father and that woman had in secret.

It's they who broke up our family,

who made it so that no one came to comfort you when you were little, and had nightmares,

who made it so that no one could listen to you when you were troubled,

who took from you motherly love.

Can you still call her sister?

Ever since Wan Qing appeared, you've been meaner and meaner to me!

What if I call her sister? What?

I want to have someone that would love me, care for me.

The woman I call mother, has she ever loved me? Cared for me?

She never gave me any happiness from the time I was little.

She doesn't even remember me any more!

Why do I have to love her?

She's suffering to be alive,

and making all of us suffer with her!

Ming Jiao!

Chairman Qiao, I have controlled your happiness your entire life.

Now I'll give you an option.

At my 80th birthday party, which wife do you wish to bring?

I'll let you decide.

I won't be like before.

I won't send you to the hospital.

Or the mental hospital.

Believe me.

I know I'm wrong.

He will come find me. I'm sitting here waiting.

I'm not going anywhere. Anywhere.

I say he won't! Look at what time it is!

If he were coming, if he were coming he'd be here long ago!

He's enjoying himself with his family right now!

Not give a rat's ass if you are alive or dead!

He didn't choose you and me.

All that we have lost,

I will make him pay it back with interest!

This is Ling Tian business project's prelim plan.

I want to ask.

Why are there still numbers uncalculated that were turned in 2 weeks ago?

Are you done? Has it been a while since you got beaten up?

Jin Fan takes the fact that he's the owner's son, and my boss,

to make things difficult for me every corner I turn.

He says business is business on one hand,

while freezing my budget on the other.

Making it difficult for me to move forward.

He's trying to make you angry, make you lose it.

Then he'll find an opportunity to fire you.

So right now, we have to persevere.

Are you able to give me what I want?

I want to be married to you in pride.

I want my daughter to bear the last name of Qiao in pride!

Can you give me these?

Ji Yun, stop lying to me!

Feng Yi, let go!

Enough! - Let go!

My patience has worn out!

Listen to me!

Feng Yi, you're bleeding!

My wellness is none of your business.

Feng Yi, don't be like this! Calm down!

Feng Yi! Feng Yi!

Mom.

Madam Qiao, you are here.

How are you?

I'm fine.

She just had a blood transfusion.

Doctor said she'll be alright.

You must be so disappointed to hear that.

If you are here to suppress my mother,

then I will tell the security to have you removed.

Lai Xue.

You are quite filial.

That's great the doctor said she'll be OK.

Don't worry. Get some rest.

OK.

This happened at Qiao Corp, so of course I was concerned.

Mom, I'm here for her. That'll suffice.

You are not in your best health, go home and get some rest.

Ji Yun.

There are some things I want to say to Madam Qiao in private.

Can I?

Then you guys should go.

Mom!

Be good. Go.

Mom, then I'll wait right outside.

Call me if you need me.

Go.

Madam Qiao, please sit. - Don't move,

just lay down. Lay down.

I'm so sorry. I was careless.

Made you have to come to the hospital.

I'm so sorry.

You don't have to say that.

You are human after all.

Sometimes you have to let it out.

Today, as I laid in this bed,

I had a really long dream.

I awoke and suddenly realized,

after all these years, I'm really really tired.

So tired that I don't have the energy to care any more.

Mom, now there's only the two of us,

there are some things I think I can just be forward with now.

For Ji Yun, I fought all my life,

suffered all my life.

I dragged Lai Xue down as well. I don't want to fight any more.

Let it all end here.

I don't want to fight for a title,

I don't want to argue who's right or wrong.

Some things, are fate.

You only live once. Fight for this, fight for that...

In the end, it's all over anyway.

Life and death, is only separated by a thin line.

If it was meant to be, it always will be.

If it wasn't meant to be, there's nothing to fight for.

You've finally come around.

I'm willing to let go now. My heart is dead too.

I just have one request. That's Lai Xue.

No matter how wrong I was, Lai Xue is still

Qiao family's blood relative.

She's Ji Yun's biological daughter.

And your biological granddaughter.

I just ask you to give her a hopeful future.

She has been through so much with me since she was little.

I don't want to make her suffer the rest of her life

because of my mistakes.

Madam Qiao, I beg you.

I don't have to have anything.

I just ask you to give Lai Xue a path to walk on.

Being a mother,

I can't give her anything.

I can call you Madam Qiao for the rest of my life.

But could you let my daughter call you grandma?

I beg you.

Yes. Lai Xue is my granddaughter.

She's just like Jin Fan and Ming Jiao, can call me grandma.

Thank you! Thank you!

Today I asked you two to be here,

so I can tell you about

Lai Xue coming to Qiao family.

Even though she grew up overseas,

but she's our Qiao family's blood relative after all.

So, I think we should give her a chance.

Didn't we want to give our opinion after dad gets here?

Wait for him?

He's already moved over there, why should we wait? Forget about him.

Then, what are you guy's thoughts on it?

I knew Lai Xue since I was overseas.

I think she's... pretty nice. No problems.

I... don't care.

Uh, what kind of vote is "I don't care"?

Is that a vote for it, or against it?

In theory, I... approve.

You?

I'm against it.

If she comes back, I'm leaving.

Do you want your father to never come home?

Do you think this family isn't messy enough?

Actually, I know the deciding vote

is in your hands.

You got us here, just so we can have a chat, right?

Stop making us vote, OK? Tell us your vote, beauty.

I just don't want your father
