Cheng

welcome.

The landlord called me once again

I told him your shop wasn't open yet.

Thanks.

Try to pay up the rent.

I can't cos I'm broke.

My products are not selling well.

Have you put in your guesthouse the oil I gave you last time?

Yes, I have.

But nobody used it.

People use Viagra nowadays.

Nobody would use it.

I tried it once.

Doesn't really help.

It's your own impotence to blame.

Bitch!

How dare she call me again!

I've had enough.

Ok, let me do it.

What's going on?

Let me tell you.

No one is to take my grandson away!

Alright alright!

Just don't pick up if she calls again.

She is driving me mad.

No need to be upset.

Cigarette.

You are not done with your meal yet.

No cigarette.

Open your mouth.

You'd better take him to a doctor.

No need.

Hospitals just want our money.

They will probably make something up if you are not sick.

He has speaking problems.

What if he becomes paralyzed?

Don't worry.

He just drank too much when he was young.

Listen.

Next time you'd better pay by year.

Swim over there.

To that side. Go.

Daddy, it hurts.

Keep still.

I'm your dad.

Hands off.

Pipi is getting bigger huh?

You asked for buns yourself.

Why do you only eat the dough?

I don't like the filling.

Daddy?

Yes?

I want a pair of sneakers.

How much?

260.

Why don't you ask your stepfather?

Just don't want to.

Take it.

Thanks, daddy.

Spend it right, okay?

I'll see you next week.

Ok.

Have you thought it over?

No way.

And don't ever call my dad again.

What do you want from him?

Ok, my attorney will talk to you.

No one can change my mind.

Do you hear me?

That's not gonna happen!

Mr. Cheng, anyway,

going aboard will be the best choice for your kid.

Cat got your tongue? Why is someone else speaking for you?

Mr. Cheng.

Ms. cao could offer you some compensation.

And the amount is negotiable.

What are you talking about?

Are you asking me to sell my son?

We are clear about your financial situation.

Even if he stays with you, you can't afford raising him.

Ms. cao is actually giving you a hand.

I don't need her help.

You think money is a big deal?

Is that your own money?

Now look, Mr. Cheng

Cheng yong.

Can't you be less selfish?

Listen, I am Cheng xiaoshu's father!

Don't ever think about taking him abroad!

Father? Seriously, what kind of father are you?

Have you ever shouldered any responsibility for him?

What sense does it make for him to stay with you?

To sell heathcare products like you when he grows up?

What did you say?

Don't give me this look.

I'll take you to court if you don't agree.

Are you threatening me?

You'd better believe I'll punch you.

Of course I believe it.

Haven't you thrown enough punches all these years?

Listen, Cheng yong.

I'm not afraid of you.

In my mind you are not a man.

Calm down, Mr. Cheng.

Get out.

How can you be so rude?

So what?

I'm warning you. Just stop.

You're warning me huh?

Stop. How dare you hit me?

You can't hit the lawyer!

Beat it!

Ms. cao

Cao sir

cao sir

cao sir

cao sir

calm down.

Cao sir

cao sir

calm down.

If you ever lay a finger on my sister again, I'll kill you.

Enough.

Let go of me.

Where is my brother-in-law?

On a business trip.

When will you leave?

In two months.

Why don't you go first.

We will figure something out about xiaoshu.

I'll handle it.

Cheng.

Come over here.

Let me introduce you guys.

My old neighbour, iv shouyi.

Mr. Cheng.

Hello, how are you?

What does he want?

He wants to ask you to bring some medicine from India.

Bring back medicine?

Smuggling?

Aren't all the stuff you sell here smuggled?

I'll leave you to it.

Bye.

How could you tell him everything?

I know your business isn't doing well.

I'm giving you business. Prices are negotiable.

Do it.

Have an orange.

Cut it out.

You know I'll be sent to jail if I get caught smuggling medicine.

Not that bad.

Not that bad my ass.

Not to mention, only 30,000 yuan for such high risks?

It's a good business opportunity though.

The generic Indian one is only 2,000 yuan and they work the same.

If you can bring back more...

They work the same?

With only one twentieth the price?

Go away.

It's real Mr. Cheng. It has been tried and tested.

I am a patient myself. I'd go to India myself if I can.

Even if you can't, don't you have a relative or friend?

Obviously you are just afraid of being caught.

I won't do it. Ask someone else.

No. I'm sure that you've been smuggling all this time.

Nonsense.

Listen, I've never ever smuggled anything before.

No way. Get out of my sight.

I'll leave you my phone number.

Please give me a call

once you change your mind.

I need the drugs to save my life.

See you.

Doctor wang, something seems wrong.

No, nothing.

That's too expensive.

Chong hospital only charges 80,000 yuan.

Then you go to them. Don't stay here.

You are the leading expert.

Your efforts will be appreciated.

The hospital sets the price. Not us.

You need to figure it out asap.

Once the angioma ruptures,

he will be gone.

"Rent for the key."

Glinic is the most effective medicine for cml treatment

and it requires a lifelong treatment.

Have you ever heard of Indian glinic?

Who told you that?

I heard of it from other patients.

How does it work?

You shouldn't worry about that.

It's illegal.

Many doctors refuse to treat patients who self-medicate.
