Ugly Beauty (Pi Nang Zhi Xia / Pinang Zhi Xia / 皮囊之下)

Where are you going Brother Chen?

Going to take a cold shower.

Right now the company needs to focus on two things,

yesterday at the variety show, the choreographer agreed to give me the plan.

I've given Xiao Wen's contact information to him as well.

Good morning Teacher Yao. - Morning.

Oh right, I need to take some leave.

Something's happened at home. I need to go into the city.

Sure. Something's come up at home?

Did that annoying man come look for you again? I can help you beat him up.

Why did you duck?

Because I don't want to take another cold shower.

Teacher Yao, do well filming, Peng Fai will be with you this afternoon.

I've left the presents from your fans in the car. Take your time to look through them.

Okay.

We didn't have a choice.

The doctor said that Yangyang's condition has worsened again.

They did another examination on her yesterday.

Just a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) alone costs over a thousand.

Tell me. How can we withstand all that financial pressure?

Cry, cry, cry. Why are you crying?

Will crying provide us with money to treat our child?

Isn't it all because there's nothing we can do?

The doctors said that

if we can't pay the money, it'll affect the treatment later on.

Let me tell you, if something bad happens to my daughter,

I don't want to live anymore either!

Then what do you want me to do?

I've borrowed as much as I could. We've also sold our home.

Do you think I don't want to find money for our child's treatment?

Don't forget,

we still have another child.

My daughter's life is so cruel,

to have gotten such an illness.

Even though she had a chance to be treated,

she encountered Reporter Chen.

Although he helped her,

it was also Reporter Chen, who harmed her.

Shut up.

Uncle.

Yangyang, you're awake.

The doctor had just used an analgesia pump on you.

If you're feeling uncomfortable, let me know.

I'm fine.

Uncle, can you bring me my little monkey?

Okay. You play with it everyday right?

I'll go get it for you.

That old toy isn't hygienic.

Yangyang always hugs it when she's eating and sleeping.

So I threw it away.

Yangyang, if you like it,

uncle can buy one that's exactly the same, okay?

Sister and Brother, I'll be going now.

We haven't finished discussing things yet and you're leaving already?

I know what you're both trying to say.

I'll agree to everything. Since the child's woken up already,

let's not discuss this in front of her, okay?

Sister Fang, where did you throw the monkey?

Such a nice thing, you want to sell it to me?

Poverty stunts ambition.

This is enough to cover the rent from earlier right?

What are you doing?

Think of it as a loan from me, it'll be easier to use this with the crew.

Remember to return it to me.

Are you sure your little sister won't be coming home today?

Has she asked you about me recently?

What's going on?

D-did you bump into her recently? - Yes.

But I managed to avert disaster this time.

She hasn't had time to wonder about you lately.

I told on her secretly,

she's been chasing stars and her grades dropped to a 2.2, did terrible in three subjects,

I personally watched as she was taken back to her dorm by my parents.

My mom's even gone to live in the small hotel across from the school.

I even found in Tang Xin's inventory,

a pair of high-powered binoculars, specific for fan meetings.

It was personally handed to my mom.

My mother can directly see Tang Xin's bed from the hotel.

Too cruel.

I can't let her come to my place. Every time she comes, I hide stuff.

I've been really busy lately. I don't have time to deal with her.

Are you really that scared about your sister finding out you're paparazzi?

You're not afraid?

If she finds out, she'll tear me apart alive.

Look at you and your dark eye circles.

It's because I haven't been sleeping well recently. - What's going on?

If you're thinking about someone all day and all night,

what's usually the reason for it?

Have you fallen in love with Yao Menggui?!

Why did you jump to that conclusion?

Did I mention Yao Menggui at all?

People are usually able to process things quickly.

Only in TV series do they deduce things slowly.

Also, your expression already says everything.

Look!

Hello everyone, I'm Yao Menggui.

Ballet.

Heart.

Take a photo.

[- This woman is doing it on purpose, right? - That's too much! -This damn Yao Menggui must be doing this on purpose.]

It's a tacit understanding between the male and female leads.

No. No. No. No. No.

[- Damn you. Does she have the right? - No right? She's the queen of negative comments in the world. - NMSL (internet slang - your mom is dead!)]

Hello?

I told Brother Ming this morning about the variety show trailer being edited.

Why didn't you-- - Chen-Chenmo, hear me out first.

You finally came back. Were you the one who gave the gifts to Meng Meng? - Yes.

Why didn't you inspect them before you gave them to her?

Meng Meng, get some rest, okay?

Don't let this get to you. Okay? Relax.

Is she okay?

Of course she's not okay!

No matter how resilient she is,

as soon as she opened the box and saw that, she was absolutely terrified.

Cover it up! Cover it up!

Fans' gifts must be inspected before being passed onto our celebrities.

Why do you not understand something so simple?

Do you take your brain around with you at all?

I really don't understand. Why did Meng Meng

have to hire you of all people?

Get out! Leave right now!

Go home and rest. It's a bit loud.

Meng Meng, rest up.

Why are you still standing there? Go!

Thank you...

It's all due to my negligence.

I'll make sure to inspect the gifts before I hand them over to you.

Have you seen the trailer online?

I saw it.

I talked to Brother Ming about earlier and contacted Xiao Wen as well.

We'll do our best to communicate with the program team to minimize your loss.

To be honest, I'm not that angry.

The gifts and trailers are okay.

It's just that when I see people yell at me online,

I feel a bit flustered inside.

So that's why I thought to unwrap the gift.

You're right. I really like the process of unwrapping gifts.

Even though I received a hand,

I still received a lot of love.

It offsets it. It's alright.

Brother Ming just worries about me too much.

He always thinks I'll be terrified to death.

I'm telling you all this so you don't feel guilty.

Okay. If there's nothing else, go home and rest.

Teacher Yao,

I hope you'll still enjoy the process of unwrapping gifts in the future.

Good night.

Have you fallen in love with Yao Menggui?

What's going on? - I think it's fans coming to cause trouble.

Don't open it. People might see you.

Teacher Yao, we need to go through the crowd. You—

Brother Chen, why don't you cover your face as well?

They can recognize you as well now.

Sister Yanzi, if you have something to say, just tell me directly.

The weather's really hot. We've been standing here chatting for a long time already.

I really don't have that many people in my family. My mouth is already dry.

I already know you and Meng Meng

are both straightforward people.

I have to beat around the bush because the two of you are such frank people.

That was all in the past. Now that we're collaborating

just be direct with me.

I just discussed it with Director Zhang.

We aren't able to film because of the current situation.

We aren't able to get rid of the fans outside.

Even if we do get rid of them,

we aren't able to ensure that Meng Meng is 100% safe while we're filming.

Did you not hire any bodyguards?

Of course I hired them.

But you have to know that when those fans out there go crazy,

they can do anything!

Right now, Meng Meng is in the heart of the storm.

We can't confirm whether if it's her anti-fans outside

or some other kinds of people. Also the matter involving Li Daixuan...

has all been revealed, right? We...

So what are you thinking?

How about... let's have Meng Meng go home and rest for a few days?

At least, avoid the limelight.

Just her? What about Song Ci?

Both fans are quarreling right now. Why is it just Yao Menggui who has to stop working?

I'll go find her.

Yuan Yuan, you...

Congratulations.

Why are you congratulating me?

You're trending. You've been trending the whole day.

It's quite worth it.

What? You're not happy?

Let me in. - Song Ci really has no time right now. - When I go in there he will.

Xiao Bai, let him in. I'm not busy.

What's wrong Teacher Chen?

Teacher Song Ci, it's just the impact from of the variety show.

Just say something to the fans and they'll calm down.

Why does Teacher Yao, a woman, have to bear the brunt of all this?

The crew told her to stop shooting.

You didn't know about this? That's not appropriate, right?
