Behind Your Smile (浮士德的微笑)

It's Lin Man's daughter!

Return our money!

After my mom left, the world treated me with extreme hostility.

Sorry, please don't chase me out of the car.

I told you before, but you won't be happy being engaged to me.

And I also told you that if I want you, I will get you.

I couldn't live in any place where people recognized my mom.

Do you really need money? I think you're better off selling yourself.

Do you think women are just so easily bullied?

So you were tricked by an elementary school classmate?

Thankfully, I was saved two times by the same stranger.

Instead of thanking or apologizing to me, why don't you return what's mine?

Where's your ring?

It's missing.

So, you were in my fiance's car on the day of my engagement, and you even took my engagement ring?!

There has to be someone to fix up a spoiled rich girl who knows nothing about human suffering.

Isn't Qianni the most suitable person for the job?

What do you guys want?

We'd like to ask about a certain person's whereabouts.

I don't know. I don't know anything!

Would someone who doesn't know anything be in a hurry to run away?

November 20th of last year.

March 4th and June 25th of this year.

Now, from smuggling dried goods

to human trafficking.

If I handed this over to the Coast Guard Administration,

I wonder what would happen.

You'll go to prison for the rest of your life.

The Philippines!

Someone asked for a favor. I didn't want to take that woman either!

When we got to international waters, I handed her over to a Filipino fishing boat.

The rest... I don't know about the rest. I don't know what happened afterwards!

Hey! Where's my stuff?

I'll have someone in the Philippines keep an eye out.

Did you find out about Lei Xinyu's other phone call?

Yes, it's an American number

belonging to a Chinese person by the name of Su Zhongwen.

Is he Lei Xinyu's boyfriend?

I don't know, but he's a friend of the family's. The parents all know each other.

What does he do?

He's a doctor working in biotech.

He works at a lab researching proteins in the U.S.

Several Taiwanese companies are interested in him.

A biotech company...

Boss, do we have to go to this extent? She's Lin Man's daughter.

It's precisely because she's Lin Man's daughter.

But she—!

The north wind and the sun. Ever heard of it? (The wind and sun compete to get a traveler to take off his cloak.)

If Qianni is the cold northern wind, (The wind tries to blow away a traveler's cloak.)

then I'm the warm sun. (The sun warms up the traveler so he takes off his cloak.)

If you were Lei Xinyu, who would you choose?

You, of course.

Exactly.

Where does such a cold sun exist?

Oh, I was just saying that the weather is nice today. It's very warm.

Boss, please.

Stop!

Lin Man!

Get out of the car! Get out!

Lin Man!

Drive.

Lin Man!

Lin Man! Lin Man!

Come out!

Get out of your car! Come out!

What are you doing?! Come away!

Come away! Stop shouting here.

Student, if you keep shouting here, I'm going to call the police on you!

Tell Lin Man to come out!

You shouldn't be calling our boss's name like that!

Tell Lin Man to come out!

No matter how much you shout, our boss doesn't care about people like you!

Tell Lin Man to come out!

Take this!

If you have a brain, get lost!

I heard that something happened to your father.

I know that you need money right now.

Don't say that I didn't warn you.

This is the most money that you're going to get.

People should know when to advance and when to retreat.

Not dry yet?

It's still a bit damp.

Why do you only have this one outfit?

That's right, I only have this one.

Hang it back up.

Wear mine.

Go change.

Go and change. Quickly, quickly!

There are no more eggs. The jam's a bit past the expiration date, but it should still be edible.

Eat.

Hey, hey! Lei Xinyu! What are you thinking?

I-I... I...

I was thinking about my mom.

Lin Man?

I haven't been able to get in touch with her.

I wonder how she's doing right now.

Is she living well?

Or is she wandering around destitute, like me?

But she might not have been able to meet someone as nice as you.

Then, do you want to call her?

I've called several times already,

but the call never goes through.

Then, do you want to use my phone to send her an email?

Can I really?

Here.

Thank you.

Rich people write letters the same way as us.

Oh, there's a promotion today! There's a discount on milk.

Right, right, right. Come with me to buy some.

- What? - Have some bread first.

What promotion?

- Is a milk promotion some kind of major event? - Of course, it is!

It's ten dollars cheaper!

Ten dollars?

Ah, yeah, it's a big deal.

I've seen the devil.

Wh-What? Aren't we buying milk?

Xiaoyue.

What?

Xiaoyue!

Don't come here!

Why is it you again?

What is it now?

Not me. It's...

It's a dog!

Quiet.

Is it still there?

Yeah.

Don't worry, it's not aggressive.

Really?

He's already sitting.

If you flutter your eyes at me like that again, I'll take it as flirtation.

Sorry, that wasn't my intent.

Flower! How did you end up all the way over here?

- Sorry. - It's fine.

Is it gone?

Yeah.

Sorry.

I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid,

so I'm very scared of dogs.

Without some form of provocation, a dog won't chase after someone.

Then, I guess...

I must have done something to provoke it.

The pants that Xiaoyue lent me!

Don't you have any other clothes?

But I really want to thank you for coincidentally appearing

whenever I'm in trouble and helping me. Really, thank you so much.

Actually, it's not really by coincidence.

I live nearby.

In any case, thank you very much.

Ah, Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue!

Xiaoyue!

What's wrong?

What could be wrong? You're the one that was chased by a dog.

Then why are you hiding here?

I'm hiding from the landlord.

Why do you have to hide from the landlord?

Miss, it's obviously because I don't have money for rent.

Xiaoyue!

All my livelihood is gone because of that damned apartment.

I can't buy things, I can't see people.

Xiaoyue,

things are already this bad for you, but you're still helping me...

Hello?

Oh, thank you.

What is it?

The restaurant called for you to start working.

Excuse me, is there something that I can help with?

Miss, can't you see that everyone's busy? Move out of the way.

- Hurry. - Manager!

Is there anything that I can help with?

Help with?

Okay, I'll tell you. Look this way.

The kitchen is a very, very, very, very, very professional place.

We don't need your help here. Go over there. That will be a great help to me.

Hurry, get the orders out. We're running late.

Potato and ground beef gratin, beef thymus...

Qian...

Boss.

Although I'm not sure what made you change your mind and let me work here,

I'm very thankful.

I really need this job. I'll work really hard.

I wanted to see how hard you could work.

Why are you staring with such big eyes?

Don't flutter your lashes and pretend to be cute.
