Damn it! Niu Meili!
What kind of job does she offer?
How could she...
You're going out?
My daughter's feeling so wronged.
You're feeling so good about yourself, right?
You want Peng Yongkang to feel so helpless
that he'd cry and beg for you to come back, right?
Good, keep on dreaming.
He's already found your next-door as your back-up.
He just wants to tire you out until you're gone.
Once you're gone,
that back-up will take your role immediately.
Do you know that?
Good, then.
He's already found my back-up.
Then why the hell would he still keep me?
Why the hell would I still stay there?
Hello?
You're finally answering my phone.
Finally? No, no.
I'm just too busy recently.
I'm so busy.
I didn't even have the time to go back home.
Really?
I thought you were deliberately hiding from us.
If so, I wouldn't answer your phone, right?
Say it. Why are you calling me?
One of my friends is ill recently.
So it occurred to me.
If you're flush with cash,
how about you give my money back?
It kind of ruins it if you say so.
Everyone who asks for debt says his family or friend is sick or dead.
It sounds so ominous. Please don't.
I'll definitely give your money back if I have that money.
But how can I repay you when I really don't have the money?
You're in the show business, right?
I've prepared them all.
Lawyers and news releases.
I'll sue you if you don't give my money back.
Once I release that news,
with you and your actors' names in it,
it won't be that simple even if you give my money back.
No, wait.
You're leaving me no room.
I didn't say I wouldn't pay you back.
I'll pay you back if I have the money.
Hello?
Hello?
What the hell?
Why is this number shielded?
I can't dial it back.
Why did I answer it anyway?
You cheeky devil!
Who are you cursing?
You're awake? You're faking a dead body?
You're right.
I've been thinking about it.
I can't just quit whenever I run into an obstacle.
I should stick to it.
Oh my goodness.
I've been away for only such a little while.
How come you've come to understand it?
Sit up, you! Sit up!
Tell me, I've been away for only such a little while.
How come you've changed so much?
Tell me what you've gone through.
Beg me.
I'm begging you. Tell me!
I want to be an actor.
I've been dreaming of it for years.
But I'm a little bit bad-tempered.
I keep on dreaming with no achievement at all.
After all these years,
I suddenly feel that I can't afford to lose anymore.
So this time, I'll stay no matter what.
Doesn't Peng Yongkang want to tire me out?
Then I'll just tire that back-up out.
Anyway, one of us will have to go.
But that one will never be me.
I like your spirit.
As long as you keep on working,
fortune will smile upon you, you know?
It's just that sometimes there's only too little
while sometimes a bit more.
But you can accumulate fortune bit by bit.
You just keep on working and fighting.
Fortune will eventually smile upon you one day.
Do you know what's the best thing about you?
What?
That even though you've never been treated gently by this world,
you're still returning good for evil,
and treat this world gently and kindly.
Is it a compliment?
Then, can you make it more obvious?
In this world of evilness,
you're still so cheerful towards others.
Do you understand?
What you've just said proves I'm right.
Come on.
What's this?
It's in size 42.
I'm sure it'll fit you well.
Wait, you still haven't got it right.
It's white.
But I'm wearing black ones in the play.
See, a black marker.
Paint it with me.
How about you go there and paint it?
How dare you say so!
Can't you help me out?
Paint it, now!
Well, just a minute.
I told you I don't have the money.
I have no money! No!
Okay, I'll open the door for you.
Stop banging. It'll be broken.
Stop banging!
I don't know what to say to you.
You're old.
Yet you got no savings but a ton of debt.
Who the hell is that gang?
A bunch of assholes.
Who knows what they'll do once they come in here?
It's better that they come in here.
Just take me away.
Do whatever they want with me.
It'll save me from all these stress and restlessness.
Real life is no drama.
Do whatever they want with you?
You're just looking for trouble yourself.
You think I'm looking for trouble.
But I think a meaningful life is one with ups and downs.
To die on a grand and spectacular scale.
I may end up a legend.
That beats the scene when I end up old and alone.
I guess you just want to screw yourself up.
Come on.
Have some sweet rice dumplings. Don't cry.
What? Is it hot? - No.
I'll get fat.
You're worrying about getting fat?
For god's sake.
Good, then. That means you still have the hope for life.
Tell you what, these are xylitol rice dumplings.
You won't get fat.
Come on.
I'm just wondering.
Isn't Teng Dan your friend?
You're just buying a contract from one of your friend.
Why would you end up belly-up with people chasing after you for debts?
You're so funny.
Even if it's just an old hen she's been raising for the past 10 years,
you still have to pay her for that.
That depends on whether it lays eggs or not.
Shut up, don't jinx him.
Zeyu will eventually make great achievements someday.
I'm not saying that you're not supposed to spend money on him.
You're friends.
Why can't you pay her in installments?
You're having such a bad time.
Can't she just put it off for a couple of days?
Teng Dan needs money, too.
Or, she won't pass Hao Zeyu to me.
She needs money and you don't?
It's none of your business, okay?
I just don't buy any of it.
Even if he does sue you,
so what?
He can't kick you out of this house.
Yeah, if it's really that simple.
If Zeyu really achieves something later,
I would be his stain.
I can't believe you've still got humanity inside you.
You're actually looking out for others.
If he's got a stain,
his later career will be affected.
You're getting on my nerves!
Why are you here today?
Nothing.
I'm just here to check on you.
I don't need you to check on me.
What? You want another spoonful?
Why am I such a jerk!
My daughter came all the way down here to work for her.
I can't complain about her sufferings, alright.
And I have to serve her.
I'm such a jerk.
Excuse me, are you driving the taxi?
No. I'm off work now.
Go away. - Oh, darn it.
How's it going?
