This is delicious.
Uncle Lin,
were you always so good at cooking?
Of course not.
I once knew nothing about cooking.
After Lin Shu's mother left,
I started to learn about cooking.
I am sorry, Uncle Lin.
I brought up the unpleasant memory again.
It's been years.
It's all in the past.
Have you ever thought about...
finding another partner for your life?
I am too old to think about that.
This is odd.
My mother said the same thing.
That she was too old to find another love?
I remember when they were having a divorce,
I asked her the same question.
Her answer was the same as yours.
But Lin Shu is much more fortunate than I am.
He has a father that takes on the responsibility of both parents.
You are great at cooking too.
I never knew how my mother's cooking tastes like.
Cheng Cheng.
Please don't blame your mother for this.
It's not easy for a woman to raise a child on her own.
Your mother wanted to provide you with the best life quality she could.
Therefore,
she didn't have the time for you.
I am not blaming her.
Cheng Cheng,
you changed.
You are much more sensible now compared to when we first met.
Really?
Finish your meal.
-Have some meat. -Thank you.
Waiter,
bring her the wine I reserved here.
Yes, Mr. Jiang.
I am sorry.
The landing was delayed.
I was late.
It's okay, I just got here.
You look stunning today.
Thank you.
Mr. Jiang, here is your wine.
Are you okay with the wine?
Oh!
I remember you could barely hold your bottle.
It's okay.
I can drink.
I noticed...
you are acting differently today.
What happened?
Actually,
I think you are right.
I don't actually need to...
make my life so hard.
What changed your mind so suddenly?
No reason.
I merely think I was being too silly.
I am still young.
I could have a lot of great clothes and handbags,
why should I make do with second rated products?
Why?
Why should I make life so hard?
I was being too naive.
I had always felt like I am special.
What do you think now?
This is awkward for me.
In that case, what do we do next?
Anything.
Maybe we can get a room and have some small talks.
Okay, it's up to you.
I need a room in Hilton Hotel.
I want the best suite.
Four bottles of red wine.
Soon.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
I am glad I didn't get drunk.
Otherwise it would have ruined the night for me.
Why do you look so nervous?
I am fine.
Drink this.
Thank you.
What do you think about me?
It's all right.
Just be objective.
I can take a blow to my pride.
I think...
you are not a bad person.
Not a bad person?
Is that even a compliment?
Tell me,
do you like Lin Shu more than me?
Lin Shu and I are childhood friends.
It was never about liking anyone.
Oh.
Fine.
So, do you like me?
About that,
can I answer that later?
Do you know where we are headed?
The hotel.
So what is taking you so long to answer the question?
Aren't we going to the hotel?
Why did you send me home?
I am tired from the flight.
It's too expensive to stay in a hotel.
Go home.
It's not safe to be out here at late night.
Cheng Cheng,
I went to the company today.
I talked to your superior and your colleagues.
They told me you are hardworking,
and learning very quickly,
especially when the flight was delayed that day.
You volunteered to help...
and were there just in time to aid the staff.
Since you are performing well...
and your colleagues have good ratings for you,
I decided to follow the agreement...
and give you a portion of the trust fund for now.
I hope you will keep up with the great work.
This is odd.
I yearn for money when I have none.
Now that I have the money, I don't know what to do with it.
Uncle Lin took great care of me.
I should buy him a gift.
Father?
Son, you are home.
There was delay at both airports, so I was late.
That is normal.
I barely had meals regularly before my retirement.
Wash your hands and get ready for dinner.
What are you looking for?
Have you seen Cheng Cheng?
I thought she is having a day off.
Cheng Cheng just went out.
She did a great job recently.
I was happy for her and gave her a portion of trust fund as reward.
She felt uncomfortable for the reward and insisted to buy me a meal.
I told her I could just make her a dinner.
She was very touched and went out to get me a gift.
Such a lovable person.
You gave her money?
Yes, she was doing a great job.
Of course I need to reward her.
Hello, the amount is 1789 yuan in total.
Here is your card.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Cheng Cheng?
-Xiao Man? -It's been so long.
What an coincidence.
I thought your money are being supervised.
Why are you shopping here?
I am working in an airline company.
I was performing well.
So I got a portion of the trust fund as reward.
Really?
Why don't we have a gathering with some friends tonight?
Song was missing you.
-Let me invite the others. -No, I don't want to trouble you.
Not at all.
It's no big deal.
Song, you would never believe who I ran into at the supermarket.
It's Cheng Cheng.
We should have a gathering tonight.
We will get a private room at Chun K.
-Let's go. -Xiao Man, I have work later.
What could be more important than our gathering?
Come on!
Maybe we can have it another day.
Come on!
The food is getting cold.
Lin Shu.
Shouldn't you give her a call?
-Find out where she is. -Yes.
Okay.
Cheng Cheng, cheers!
I heard there are a lot of handsome young men in your company.
-Not that many. -You could have asked them out!
We can have some fun and drinks.
Hello?
Those lowly pilots can never afford to be your boyfriends.
