He Crashed the Wedding With a GUN… Just to Take Me From Another Man!

He Crashed the Wedding With a GUN… Just to Take Me From Another Man!

What’s your name? I… Tell me. I’ll take responsibility for you. I… My name is Bai Xinxin. Remember this. If you dare spill what happened tonight, I’ll kick you and your half-dead mother out of South City! I’ll keep it secret. Can you give me the money now? I knew it… A woman like you only cares about money. Don’t worry. When I marry Li Nanjue, you’ll get your share. You promised the money today! I’m desperate. My mom needs surgery. Miss Bai, Come to the hospital! Your mother had another attack. Ms. Wen must undergo surgery today. If we delay any longer, she might not hold on much longer. I… I’ll gather the funds today. I promise. Doctor, please give me a little more time. Mr. Li. Are you two in a relationship? Mr. Li, are you marrying Ms. Bai? How long have you been dating? Step aside. Who is this person? Who is she? Nan Jue. She’s my half-sister from my father’s side. Probably here to ask for money again. I’ll handle this. Mr. Li. Do you know this lady, sir? Was it Bai Xinxin last night, or was it you? What are you doing here? Bai Ya Are you deliberately ignoring me? Money. I just want the money. You said you weren’t a virgin. Once I help you sleep with Li Nanjue, I knew you were money-obsessed. Enough. Here’s 500,000. Get the hell out of here. Listen carefully: Never show up before Young Master Li again. Next time, I’ll break your legs. Sis, this 500,000 yuan— Use it for Auntie’s surgery. Don’t delay her treatment. It hurts… Sis, I already gave you 500,000. Isn’t that enough? I literally have nothing left. Xinxin. Apologize to Xinxin. I didn’t push her. Nan Jue Don’t blame Sis. She probably didn’t mean to. Sis Go pay Auntie’s surgery fee first. Don’t delay her treatment. Let me take you to the hospital. No need. It’s just a minor injury. I’m just worried about Sis. If she doesn’t get the money soon, how can I ask the family for more? We shouldn’t bother with that woman. That won’t do. Even if Sis doesn’t consider me family, I can’t just abandon her. You’re too kind. President Li. I’ve reviewed yesterday’s hotel surveillance— watched every moment multiple times. Only Miss Bai Xinxin was in the suite last night. No one else. Understood. What about Bai Xinxin’s records? Right here. A model student—straight A’s Three-virtues student. Outstanding mentor. Charity spokesperson. Grandma would like her, right? By the way, Does Bai Xinxin have an older sister? Her name’s Bai Ya. Here’s her file. Oddly enough, Bai Ya is the Bai family’s true heiress yet acts nothing like it. She’s reckless with her reputation. Her personal life’s a mess— got expelled from school. Hmph. No wonder she’s full of lies. Doctor When can my mother undergo the surgery? I’m afraid Your mother’s condition has progressed and developed complications. We need expert consultations to proceed. Meaning? In short the surgery requires an extra 100,000 yuan. Doctor, I only have 500,000 left. Could you operate first? I’ll definitely pay the full amount soon. Hospital regulations require full payment before surgery. Perhaps you can borrow the difference? Doctor… Old hag! Watch where you’re going! Bai Xinxin! You clearly ran the red light! Enough! This reeks of a scam. Take 1,000 yuan and get lost. Miss, you’re injured. I’ll call my chauffeur to take you to the hospital. Hello? Grandma Are you okay? I’m fine. Luckily, a kind girl saved me earlier. Nan Jue, this is Bai Ya. That’s her. She acted bravely and saved me. You! Do you know each other? No. You stalked my grandma on purpose. Mr. Li, I don’t know what you’re saying. Let me go! Don’t play any tricks. Stay away from my grandma. Nan Jue, let her go! She’s grandma’s savior! Grandma, She has ulterior motives. Enough! Miss Bai, you saved me. If you need anything, just ask my grandson. I… I need to borrow some money. You’re just here for money. Nan Jue! I’ll repay it— with a written IOU. Why should I trust you? Nan Jue, stop! Because this girl saved your grandma—me! Give me your wallet. Grandma, Take this card. Use it, just return it to him after use. Grandma! Oh my… She’s the Young Master Li’s grandma?! Ms. Bai Your mother’s surgery will be scheduled immediately. Thank you, doctor. You homewrecking vixen! Seeking an early grave? How dare you seduce Young Master Li! It’s not true! I want nothing to do with him! Then explain this— how did you meet Old Mrs. Li?! You took my 500,000 yuan for your mother’s operation. Since you won’t play nice— I’ll send your mother straight to hell. NO! Mother… Bai Ya. This was just a warning. My father knows the hospital director. If I catch you near the Li family again— your mother will die in the gutter. Mr. Li The elderly lady’s condition is critical. The cancer is terminal. You need to prepare yourself. Nan Jue You’re here. This is my grandmother. Since I was little, she’s been the only family who cared. Grandma, you’re awake. You… What are you doing here with my grandson? Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Bai Xinxin. Nan Jue, how could you… Why would you choose a woman like this? Doctor! Grandma isn’t in a good mood today. Xinxin, you should head back for now. Mr. Li, The patient must remain emotionally stable. Don’t agitate her further. Where’s Ms. Bai? Xinxin, she… I’m talking about Xiaoya. She’s gone. She took the money and probably left already. Is Grandma awake? Xiaoya I’m awake Come here quick Thank goodness you’re okay, Grandma Here’s the card and IOU I’ll leave them here for you I’ll take my leave now You brat If you want a girlfriend find someone kind like Xiaoya Grandma Enough I will never allow Bai Xinxin to marry into our Li family Don’t even think about it Oh dear My precious daughter is in the kitchen! Mom When I was driving the other day I nearly hit Old Mrs. Li She’s at the hospital now She has a terrible impression of me I need to make more efforts I’ll go with you Apologize properly to Mrs. Li I believe the old lady isn’t unreasonable Our Bai family now has wealth and influence She won’t look down on us Xiaoya I’m being discharged soon That rascal of mine is always working overtime Can you pick Grandma up? Grandma, I’m busy right now I understand This lonely old woman All by myself… Don’t be sad, Grandma My mom’s in surgery Once it’s finished I’ll come get you right away Alright, alright Xiaoya Doctor, how’s my mother? The surgery was successful Thank you, Doctor Can I see my mother now? The patient hasn’t regained consciousness yet Wait until she’s moved to a regular ward tomorrow Thank you, Doctor What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Since you’re here, I’ll take my leave. Grandma? How could you let this happen to Grandma? She just choked on some water. Calm down! Nan Jue. Grandma’s getting old, not as agile as before. Ah… Xiao Ya! You’re here to pick me up? Grandma— Since Mr. Li is here to pick you up, I should get going now. Nan Jue… Grandma’s never wrong. Xiao Ya is a good girl. You’re not getting any younger. Let your grandma live to see— the day you two get married. I’ve… investigated Xiao Ya’s background. She’s actually… the trueborn heiress. Not Bai Xinxin! That Bai Xinxin— she’s a bastard child. How could you marry her? I’ll never allow— her to marry into the Li family! I don’t care about bloodlines, but moral character. Enough! Listen to Grandma. I only want what’s best. If you must marry… your spouse… must be Bai Ya. It has to be Baiya. What brings you here? Young Master Li Xinxin’s been worried about Madam’s condition. She spent the entire day making soup. Just finished delivering it. Who would’ve guessed Young Master Li already has a fiancée? He doesn’t need our Xinxin at all. Young Master Li Since you won’t marry Xinxin, we’ll stop bothering you. Mom I’ve worked so hard to get close to him. I don’t want to lose him now. You don’t understand, child. This is strategic retreat. If you keep pushing him, he’ll only resent you more. Understand? You’re right, Mom. Xinxin Look who’s here now. Nan Jue, anything else? Grandma doesn’t have much time left. Before she passes, I want to fulfill her wish. Let’s postpone our wedding. Honey Just give me a little more time Okay? Alright. I’ll wait however long it takes. But promise me don’t let me down, okay? By the way Stop visiting Grandma from now on. It might upset her. Did Bai Ya say something bad about me to Grandma? I overheard by the hospital room Grandma wants you to marry her. Don’t overthink it. I’ll handle this. Young Master The Madam says she won’t take medicine unless Miss Bai comes. Hello May I ask who you are? It’s me. Grandma wants you to keep her company. I’ll send someone to pick you up. I’m busy. Name your price. I’ll pay you a salary. Let me think about it. Bai Ya This isn’t a request. Cross me, and you’ll regret it. Miss Bai You’re just a high school grad. This is the highest pay we offer. 3,000 yuan. Take it or leave it. Find another job then. Next candidate. CEO Li If I accompany Madam Li, what’s the monthly salary? 100,000. Ms. Bai, this is your room. Young Master’s room is next door. What about Grandma’s room? The elderly lady’s room is in the adjacent building. Then I’ll stay in the next building too, to better care for Grandma. The building next to Grandma’s has no vacancies. Fine then. Xiao Ya, I never expected you to really come. Having you with me in my final days spares me from loneliness. Grandma, don’t talk like that. You’ll live a long life. That Nan Jue… Didn’t tell you, did he? Your Grandma’s reached the terminal stage of cancer. Doctors say I only have a year left. Madam, you should rest now. Xiao Ya, If you want anything to eat, just let me know. Please don’t stand on ceremony. Ms. Bai, you shouldn’t be cooking yourself. Just give instructions and the servants will prepare it. I can’t accept things for nothing. What does Grandma usually enjoy eating? I’ll make it for her. Ms. Bai, you’re as kind as you are beautiful. You Bring it here. This was made for Grandma. Grandma has a dedicated dietitian. Just cook for me from now on. Miss Bai. Your mother has massive post-op bleeding. Emergency treatment ongoing. Come here and sign this critical condition notice. What?! I’ll be right there! Get in. No need. I’ll take a cab myself. It’s one kilometer to the gate. Think you can make it in time? Thank you, Mr. Li. The fare will be deducted from your salary. Critical Condition Notice Doctor Please, I’m begging you. Save my mother! Hello? Young Master Li, it’s me. Madam Bai Xinxin isn’t feeling well tonight. She keeps asking to see you. Could you come over? Fine. I’ll be right back. What was I expecting? The patient is out of danger. Thank you. Thank you… Nan Jue Stay put if you’re injured. Don’t move around. I just missed you so much. Why weren’t you more careful? Just tripped by accident. Need to rest for few days. Take care of yourself. I’ll get going now. Sigh… I’ve been having nightmares lately. It’s so scary being alone. It’s scary being alone Should I call a therapist for you? No, I’m fine! Nan Jue, if you’re busy— you can head back first Young Master Li Let me be frank My Xinxin injured her hand while making soup for Mrs. Li She hid it to avoid upsetting Mrs. Li But my daughter deserves better! Tell me— Xinxin was the Bai family’s treasured daughter Why is she treated like this now? I know Xinxin meant well I’ll take the soup Take care, Young Master Li That second male lead’s hilarious Grandma, in the show— he’s just cannon fodder He… What are you watching? You hate these dramas Go upstairs now Don’t interrupt Xiaoya and me Make me something I’m starving Ask the maid instead I want Xiaoya’s cooking! I’m waiting Don’t forget— I’m the boss paying your salary Oh, I’m exhausted You two get cozy now Keep it down, okay? Huh? Bai Ya’s moved into the Li family house. That woman won’t stop until she’s crushed. Here’s what we’ll do: Go to the hospital and give her ailing mother a scare. Stay back! Mom? What’s wrong? It’s me, Xiao Ya! Calm down! Xiao Ya… Xiao Ya’s here. Mom. What on earth happened? Ms. Bai, thank you for coming. Earlier, someone sent Mrs. Wen a lunchbox. There was a dead rat inside. Have you made enemies recently? Nurse, could we postpone the injection for now? Mom, I’m so sorry. I failed to protect you. This is all my fault. Xiao Ya, it’s not your fault. I bet this was Bai Xinxin and Zheng Rongrong’s doing. They’re dying to see me gone. They’d be thrilled if I dropped dead! Don’t talk like that, Mom. I’ll keep you safe. I’ll hire a bodyguard for you. No need. Save your money. You should be frugal now. By the way, Does the Bai family still give you allowance? This is my fault. I failed as a mother. I’ve dragged you into this mess. Now you’re suffering because of me. Mom, I’m not suffering at all. I promise you— I’ll make them pay for this. Mr. Li. Could you do me a favor? I want to assign a bodyguard to my mom. Could you send someone over? Deduct the cost from my salary. Why do you think I’d help you? Am I being delusional? I’m sorry. Enough. I’ll make proper arrangements. Really? What brings you here? Is your mother dead? You dare hit me?! Yes I dare! Who told you to harass my mom? If you’re brave, come at me! Leave my mother alone! You’re now close to Young Master Li. I wouldn’t dare touch you. There’s nothing between us. Nothing? Yet you’re living in his house. Did you sleep together? Bai Ya, didn’t I warn you? Not only did you ignore me, you even moved in with him. Since you came asking for trouble, Stop! Xinxin! Sis, please don’t be angry. I won’t compete for Young Master Li. I’d never stop you from liking him. Please let me go. Bai Xinxin, what are you saying? I know you didn’t stab me on purpose. It wasn’t intentional… Right? Bai Ya, you’d better pray Xinxin’s okay. I… It wasn’t me! I didn’t stab her! I’m innocent! Bai Ya She hurt you on purpose. Nan Jue, don’t be angry. She probably didn’t mean it. You’re badly injured like this, yet still pleading for her? Nan Jue, If my sister wants to marry you, we can call off our engagement. We’re sisters after all, there can’t be real hatred. I won’t marry her. You’re the one I choose as my wife. Really? But she’s already moved into Li Manor. I thought you two were getting married. Bringing Bai Ya to Li family is to comfort Grandma in her old age. So please bear with it for now. How could I feel wronged? Being able to marry you, Nan Jue, is the greatest blessing. I truly love you. Get some rest. I’ll take my leave. I thought… you wouldn’t dare come back. I didn’t. I didn’t hurt Bai Xinxin. That scissors was her— Silence! You’re nothing but a liar! Young Master, Miss Bai needs to stay with Madam. Since you can’t behave, stay confined at home. Keep Grandma company. You’re imprisoning me? This is the price for hurting Bai Xinxin. I told you I didn’t hurt Bai Xinxin. She’s the one putting on an act. If you won’t let me out, at least send someone to watch over my mom. Since when do you get to set conditions? Honey… The bodyguard you hired is too sharp. Someone tried delivering food earlier, and he detected something wrong immediately. He replaced it with a safe meal. What? Am I interrupting something, dear? I just wanted to say that bodyguard is truly reliable. Everything will be fine. You can relax. Li Nancheng, you’re not completely hopeless. Just a bit slow on the uptake, always getting fooled by Bai Xinxin. Granny… Yes? Why isn’t Dr. Zheng doing the checkup? Madam, Dr. Zheng went abroad for further training. I’ll be taking over your treatment. Madam, we’re changing your medication to better suppress the cancer cell growth. Any new physical discomfort recently? Well… I’ve been having memory lapses lately and feeling sleepier than usual. Let’s add another medication then. Thank you, doctor. Madam, remember to take your pills on time. Grandma! Wait! Don’t take that yet. Grandma, don’t eat that yet. We’ve changed doctors again. And medications too. Better to be cautious. Xiaoya I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. Chengxiao I recall you have connections in forensics. Can you check two medications for me? No problem. Let’s meet directly at Central Park. Miss Bai Young Master’s orders. Without his approval you can’t leave. What’s that brat up to now? My stomach hurts so bad! Madam These two drugs are safe individually for cancer patients when used separately. But taken together, they cause significant side effects. Taken for three days straight could even induce deep coma. What? Who’s this medication for? Can I help you with something? Thank you, Chengxiao. But some things I can’t disclose. I hope you understand. I’m just worried about you. No pressure to share what you can’t. When you’re free, just treat me to dinner. Deal. Miss Bai sneaked out today. Here are her photos from today. Bai Ya You’re involved with Ning Chengxiao? Now you’re against me too? Steward Just administer this medication to Grandma alone. Do not give her this other medication. Is there a problem, Miss Bai? Taking these two medicines together will cause serious complications! Understood. What’s happened? Today’s physician who examined Grandma was replaced by someone else. The new prescription is questionable. Is that so? Did you investigate? Through whom? A friend. He said— He’s my university classmate. Mr. Li, if you doubt this, send your people to verify. These two medications Bai Ya, mark my words: You belong to Li Nanjue now. Any improper thoughts— discard them immediately. I entrust Grandma’s care to you. If anything happens to her, you’ll answer to me first. CEO Li, I’ve investigated today’s incident. Miss Bai engaged Ning Chengxiao to investigate a specific medication. The report has been sent to you. Conduct thorough investigations on the physician for the follow-up today. What’s this about you getting fired from the hospital? Don’t tell me the Li family saw through your act? A worthless fool dares demand money from me? Get lost! Miss Bai… If you don’t pay me, I’ll expose you to Li Nanjue. You wouldn’t dare! Enough. Take 1 million and get out of the country. Who upset my precious daughter this time? Mom… Didn’t we bribe that doctor to target Old Madam Li? But who knew he’d get fired overnight? How did this happen? Wait! I just remembered— that Wen Yu woman used to work in pharmaceuticals. Bai Ya must’ve learned from her. Knows some tricks, huh? Too many obstacles! Marrying into the Li family’s impossible! Don’t lose heart, Xinxin. Next weekend’s Old Madam Li’s birthday. As the Young Master’s fiancée, you’ll be invited to the banquet. We’ll find our chance there— When the time comes, we’ll frame Bai Ya for harming Old Madam Li. Perfect plan. Mr. Li, the doctor fled overseas. We lost track of him. Bring him back at all costs. Understood. Nan Jue, For this year’s birthday celebration, I’ve decided not to host a gathering. It’s too much hassle. Grandma, All you need to do is make an appearance. I’ll handle everything else. I won’t cut corners for your 80th birthday. Nan Jue. Truthfully, I only have one wish— That you and Baiya build a happy life together. Let’s go. Xin Xin, Tonight, you must win over Madam Li. Understood? I know, Dad. No need to remind me. Grandma’s still resting after her morning medication. You stay with her. I’ll manage things here. Mom, are you sure all cameras are off? Only five minutes. Grandma, it’s time for your medicine. Show yourself at the party after this. I’ll bring you back here afterwards. Alright? Xiaoya. This medicine tastes awful. I don’t want to drink it. Bitter medicine brings healing. Look, Grandma. I have candies for you. Grandma. Young Master. The elderly lady seems to be in trouble. What did you say? What happened to Young Master Li? Why hasn’t Grandma come down yet? Wait here. Don’t follow me. Soon. I’ll soon become the mistress here. Grandma Grandma Bai Ya If anything happens to Grandma, you’ll pay for this! Miss, are you aware Madam Li is Master Li’s most precious treasure? How dare you provoke him— you’ve got a death wish! How dare this woman harm the matriarch at her own banquet? What’s her evil scheme? Looks like she’s just a lowly Li family maid. What audacity! Since she committed the crime, call the police at once! How dare you spread lies! These aren’t empty words— Master Li himself declared: “Prepare to meet your end!” Where are you going? Bai Xinxin, move! I won’t step aside. I’m guarding this murderer for Master Li. You— How dare you hit me?! Bai Xinxin, why are you so agitated? Did you have something to do with Grandma’s accident? You did this, didn’t you? How dare you accuse me! Looks like you need to be taught You really don’t know your place! This is the Li family estate, Bai Xinxin. Today is the matriarch’s birthday. You’ve created this chaos Do you think the Young Master will spare you? Butler, please take me to the hospital. I need to see Grandma. I’m coming to the hospital too. Nan Jue! The matriarch will be blessed with good fortune. Why are you here? I didn’t harm Grandma! Mr. Li, let go of me! Doctor! We did everything we could. What do you mean? Madam Li has become vegetative How could this happen, doctor? The patient was fine just recently As a cancer patient many unpredictable complications can occur It seems her body is showing rejection reactions But the exact cause requires further examination Investigate this thoroughly Understood Yes, Mr. Li Nan Jue, you should get some rest I’ll watch over Grandma I’m fine This won’t do You haven’t eaten or drunk all day Let me get some food I’ll go Bai Xinxin Tell me Grandma’s condition is it related to you? What nonsense are you spouting? Bai Ya This kind of affair Don’t even think about framing me I have no quarrel with Madam Li Why would I harm her? Unlike you A woman with ill intentions Bringing trouble wherever you go Don’t get cocky with me This matter I’ll get to the truth eventually Just a few days with Young Master Li And you’ve learned to bark already Not worried about your mother anymore? You dare threaten my mother? Sister, let go! Our Bai family has treated your mother well We’ve covered all her expenses Putting in money and effort Don’t try to frame me What… What did you say? Enough! Bai Xinxin is your sister How could you treat her this way I have no such sister Get lost We don’t need you here Alright, you’ve worked hard Let’s go eat Not at all. How could I be tired? Nan Jue Baron It’s so late now. Can I stay here tonight? Grandma doesn’t like outsiders at home. But isn’t Grandma in the hospital? You’ve been drinking. Stay away from me! Bai Ya, are you tired of living? Mr. Li I’ll get the first aid kit. Clean the wound. You should stop drinking so much. Alcohol clouds your judgment. You have no right to lecture me. Can I visit Grandma tomorrow? I swear I didn’t do this. It wasn’t me. The butler told me you gave Grandma the medicine that made her faint. Then let’s investigate who else touched that medicine. The surveillance was hacked. I need to see Grandma. Miss Bai, I’m sorry. Li Nanjue, you— Sis… Nanjue is with me. We’re at a prenatal checkup. A checkup. Bai Xinxin, What child are you talking about? Stop your nonsense! I’m carrying Young Master Li’s heir. Mr. Li Even if you won’t let me see Grandma, Mom is being discharged tomorrow. Can’t you let me pick her up? Take the bodyguard with you. It seems Bai Xinxin is pregnant. Li Nanjue is thrilled, He’s not confining me anymore. But is Bai Xinxin’s child truly Li Nanjue’s? That night, Bai Xinxin didn’t sleep with him. Did they sleep together later then? Thank you, Mr. Li. Hello? Nanjue, I didn’t mean to bother you, My parents found out I’m pregnant. They think you won’t marry me, and want me to abort the baby. I… I had to run away. Where are you? I’m coming to find you. Mom, you’re so smart. That old hag isn’t here this time. I’ll definitely move into the Li Family. Also, Get rid of that bitch Bai Ya for me. How dare she steal a man from my daughter? She’s asking for death! Just wait and see, Mom. I’ll make sure he pays. But I’m still worried… What if you can’t get pregnant? Impossible. I’ve been dating Feng Qian every day. He’s insatiable. Four or five times a night. I’ll get pregnant for sure. Nan Jue, you’re here. Let me take you to a hotel. I don’t want a hotel. They’re disgusting. Can I come to your place? Or perhaps… Is Bai Ya there? Making it awkward for you? Come over if you want. Nan Jue, I knew you’d say yes. Mr. Li, Now that Grandma’s hospitalized, I suppose you don’t need me anymore. I’ll move out now. Stop right there. You took my salary Now you want to leave? Then pay me back double! I used all that salary for hospital bills How can I repay Li Nanjue? Mr. Li Just give me your orders Bai Xinxin is pregnant Starting today You’ll take care of her daily needs Then I’ll trouble you, sister Miss Bai seems fine I’ll step out now This is scalding! Trying to kill me? Get me a new basin I think this water’s too cold Refill it This water’s too hot Miss Bai The temperature feels perfect to me Oh really? If you feel wronged Go complain to Li Nanjue He ordered you to serve me Remember to spit out that money Then get lost Massage me Are you deaf? Then I’ll have to call Young Master Li Bai Ya, look at yourself now Like a dog of the Bai family Did you actually fantasize About marrying Li Nanjue? Let me tell you That’s pure delusion You and your mother Are both Bai family dogs Say that again Let go of me! What are you doing? My mother and I owe you nothing. Nan Jue Baiya is so fierce! Does she not want to care for me? Bai Ya Apologize to Xinxin. I did nothing wrong. I said apologize! If you don’t apologize, You won’t see your mom tomorrow. Bai Xinxin I’m sorry. Enough. Get some rest. You Come with me outside. Mr. Li, is there something else? Bai Xinxin is pregnant. Don’t argue with her. Mr. Li, can you really be sure that child is actually yours? What do you mean? Nothing special. Just think you’re really stupid. Remember – the Li family keeps no freeloaders. Stop. Make me breakfast. I’m in a hurry. So you’d let me starve and the Li family’s future heir? I’ll do it. I want fish congee. Remember: Not a single fish bone allowed. Fine. Ah, Ms. Bai… Put that down, I’ll do it. You serve Madam directly. Let us handle such chores. I can manage. I wish Madam would wake up so you wouldn’t suffer like this. I’m just here to work. Any job is fine. Sigh. Ms. Bai, your porridge. I’ll take my leave now. What’s she doing today? Ms. Bai Ya is picking up her mom from hospital. Her mother’s still alive? A-Qian, I’ve been swamped lately. I’ll come to your place tonight. Baby, let me kiss you. Not so hasty. Let’s go upstairs first. I’ve missed you so much. I want to take you right here. We should mind the location. Wait till we’re upstairs you can do whatever you want. Who’s there? Bai Ya! You sneaky photographer! What are you doing? Tired of living? Delete those photos now! Hurry up! Bai Xinxin! Explain yourself! You’re facing assault charges! I’m calling the police! Neither of them is home. Correct, Young Master. Miss Bai Ya left this morning. Miss Bai Xinxin left this afternoon. The number you dialed is powered off. Nan Jue, I’m at the police station. I… I’m at the police station. Can you bail me out? What happened? The police say it’s intentional assault. Today… I went to check on Bai Ya’s mother. She immediately accused… My mom’s a homewrecker! I lost control and hit her. Bai Ya tried to intervene. Bai Ya’s hospitalized now. Nan Jue! Nan Jue! Where are you going? How could you provoke Bai Xinxin like that? She’s completely insane. Mom… I… Mom! Where’s my phone? Your phone was smashed. I’ll buy you a new one. It’s no use. No use at all. Ms. Bai, you’re extremely weak right now. You need to focus on nutrition. And keep up with prenatal checkups. What?! Prenatal checkups? Xiao Ya… You’re pregnant? Who have you been seeing? Mom… It’s complicated to explain. I don’t know where to start. Just don’t let the Bai family find out. Especially Bai Xinxin. If she knows about this baby… They’ll take it from us. Baby… Why are you here right now? What brings you here? Why didn’t you tell me about the incident? I’m sorry, sir. I forgot to request leave these past few days. I may not be able to care for Miss Bai anymore. Then rest properly. Your salary will be deducted. Thank you for your understanding, sir. Don’t you have anything to say to me? Sir, do you need me to do something? Enough. If anything happens in the future inform me immediately. Li Nanjue. What do you mean? Are you… concerned about me? Wait. If I told you the child in Bai Xinxin’s belly isn’t yours? Stop slandering Bai Xinxin. I trust her. Nanjue. You’re back. Nanjue. I was at the police station yesterday stayed there for hours. It was scary. Can you stay with me? Let go. Nanjue, are you angry? Bai Ya is under my protection. Remember this. Only I can touch her. Miss Bai is doing well She can be discharged in two days Thank you, doctor Grandma I truly don’t know what to do After that night replacing Bai Xinxin I somehow got pregnant What should I do with this child? Grandma I don’t know how to keep going Impossible Absolutely impossible That Bai Ya girl is pregnant? No way This child absolutely cannot stay Bai Ya’s back, isn’t she? Miss Bai What do you want from me? Hmph You’ve recovered well My stomach… What are you doing? Bai Xinxin is carrying my child Are you trying to harm my baby? I didn’t Remember your place You’re Bai Xinxin’s servant now I’ve always remembered. Bai Xinxin, how long will you keep this from Li Nancheng? He’ll find out eventually. What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up if you can’t speak properly. Show some respect around here. You know exactly what I mean. Stop! Come wash my feet. You little brat! How dare you hide? I heard everything at the hospital today. I’ll get rid of that bastard in your belly. Your belly’s carrying the bastard! Relax, I won’t tell Li Nancheng. I don’t plan to keep this child. Oh really? Then get an abortion tomorrow. Miss Bai, are you sure about the abortion procedure? You’re carrying twins! Would you like to reconsider? Oh, these are twins… Exactly. Many would give anything for this blessing. You’re terminating a pregnancy you worked so hard for? Please proceed with payment. Then we’ll prepare for the procedure. Bai Ya? What are you doing here? You… Here for a prenatal checkup? Where’s the father? This child is mine alone. Are you in some kind of trouble? Talk to me. I can help you. I’m fine. Thank you. Cheng Xiao, I need to go. Where’s Bai Ya? Haven’t seen her all day. I’m sorry… The number you dialed is unavailable now. Make sure you eat properly. I need to step out. Xiaoya! Aren’t you staying at the office? Why are you home tonight? Mom missed you. So I came back. Mom, go to your room first. Bai Ya. You’ve gotten bold. Daring to skip work? I’ll pay back what I owe you. Can’t I just quit? Say that again. You owe me 100,000 yuan. I’ll repay 200,000 next month. Deal? Bai Ya. You don’t get to choose. Come back with me. Li Nanjue. I’m sick of your… …rich people’s games. Let me go! I’m sorry… …you had to see this filth. Yes. Rare self-awareness, Mr. Li. I’m begging you to let me go. Mom, what should we do? I want to keep the twins. Daughter Don’t cry. If you want to keep them, then keep them. Your tears are breaking my heart, child. Mom I’m pregnant now. Finding long-term work will be tough. Maybe I should look for part-time jobs. Renrenche Management Trainee [Hefei ETDZ] Bai Ya, right? Yes, manager. Can you ride a bike? No problem, manager. Nan Jue I ordered takeout from Fengyuanju. They have the best pan-fried buns in town! You have to try them! As long as you’re happy. Don’t worry about me. No, you must try them! This is important. Why isn’t it here yet? Your delivery is here. Bai Ya Why are you delivering food now? Please remember to leave a five-star review. Thanks. You left a 100,000 yuan monthly job at the Li family to become a food delivery rider? What’s wrong with food delivery? I think it’s a decent job. Mr. Li, my hands are dirty. Let me go! Big sis, are you in financial trouble lately? If you need money, just tell me. I’ll definitely help you. I’m on duty right now. If there’s no problem with the order, may I resume my work? Why aren’t you eating? I suddenly lost my appetite. What did you say? There’s no abortion record for Bai Ya. This woman is trying to secretly bear Young Master Li’s child. Unacceptable! Grab her! Let me go, Bai Xinxin! What are you doing? I have work to do! Work? Your job is to attend to me. Let go of me! Bai Xinxin, what are you after? After? Taking you to the hospital. To get rid of that bastard child. Bai Ya! Release me! I won’t have an abortion! Hey! Let me go! Track Bai Ya’s location. Now! Immediately. No! I won’t lose my baby! Unhand me! Ensure her pregnancy is terminated. Thoroughly. This is Young Master Li’s command. Doctor, please save my baby! This was Young Master Li’s order. Li Nanjue… Is that really you? How could you be so cruel to me? But this is your child! Where’s Bai Ya? Ms. Bai is undergoing surgery. What happened to her? Are you her family member? She’s having an abortion procedure. What?! Bai Ya! You’ve been hiding so much from me. The child you’re carrying— Could it be Ning Chengxiao’s? Li Nanjue! Li Nanjue, why did you kill my child?! What are you doing?! Li Nanjue! Tell me! Why did you kill my child? This is my child! Not yours! Why did you make me have an abortion? Bai Ya, answer me— Is the child Ning Chengxiao’s? I don’t know what you’re talking about. All I know is you killed my baby! It was you! I hate you! I hate you. Why do I feel this terrible? Cheng Xiao Ya Bai I’m going to Bei Cheng to manage the branch office. You loved painting in high school. Want to join as a designer? Am I qualified? Of course. Your annual salary will be $20,000. How about it? $20,000… I could pay off Li Nanjue’s debt in just one year! If you agree, we need to leave for Bei Cheng next week. Okay, I’ll do it. Xiao Ya Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Didn’t you just find a job? Mom Remember my college classmate Ning Chengxiao? I’m joining his company. But it’s in Bei Cheng. Bei Cheng is so far! You just had an abortion. You shouldn’t travel now. I’m fine, Mom. Nothing matters more now than earning money. The Bai family who killed my child will pay for what they’ve done! Young Master Li, when will you marry our Xinxin? The 10th of next month seems auspicious. Shall we set the date for then? Exactly. Xinxin’s marriage has been delayed far too long. Her pregnancy can’t wait any longer. I apologize, but I won’t marry Bai Xinxin. As for the child— if the Bai family raises it, I’ll provide financial support. If the Li family takes custody, they’ll want for nothing. Nan Jue, Wasn’t our engagement already settled? Until Grandma regains consciousness, I won’t make lifelong commitments. Moreover, Bai Xinxin— I have no feelings for you. Nan Jue… If I’ve fallen short somehow, just tell me. I can change. Xinxin, sometimes… you feel like a stranger. A cruel one. You’re pregnant yourself, yet you forced Bai Ya to abort? That was a living human life! Our engagement… is over. Nan Jue, I’m carrying your child— please give me another chance. I didn’t force her abortion. She chose it herself. Any news on Bai Ya? Sorry, Mr. Li. We’ve searched the entire city. No trace of Ms. Bai. Expand the search nationwide. Or even overseas. By the way, Mr. Li The Binhai Project in Beicheng is starting. Will you attend next week If not scheduled, I’ll go personally. Here’s the collaboration plan. I’m assigning this to you. But… Do you think I’m capable? No one’s more qualified than you. Prepare thoroughly. I’ll meet with out-of-town partners next week. For this project, you’ll accompany me. Thank you, Mr. Ning. Xiao Ya, not using this phone anymore? I’m letting it go. Grandma… Grandma’s finally awake! No! I’ve finally built a new life. Can’t go back. Relax. Have some water. Mr. Li, long time no see. I’m Ning Chengxiao, project lead of DragonRise. This is our project designer— Bai Ya. Miss Bai, it’s been a while. Mr. Li— You two… Do you know each other? No. Yes. Let’s begin. Here’s my design concept for Binhai Project. Hold on. Miss Bai… I heard you’re not well-known in the industry. What notable works have you done? Binhai Project is a $10M+ investment. If you lack experience… cooperation would be difficult. I personally recruited Miss Bai. Her competence is unquestionable. You have my assurance, Mr. Li. Is that so? Mr. Li, hear my design proposal first. Then question my qualifications. Mr. Li, what do you think of my design? There’s room for improvement. But not up to my standards yet. Please feel free to critique it, we’ll make the changes exactly as you specify. Have Miss Bai come see me alone. Mr. Ning, I can’t handle this project. I’ve failed your expectations. Bai Ya. Tell me honestly— what’s your relationship with Li Nanjue? I… I know Mrs. Li, so I’ve met the CEO a few times. Bai Ya, you rub your hands when lying. If you don’t want to talk, I won’t press you. But this project is crucial for the company. I… Fine. I’ll go. When did Ning Chengxiao become project lead? My apologies, Mr. Li. I just found out myself. Mr. Ning just transferred here. Shut down the project. Yes, sir. Bai Ya. I won’t let you leave again. I thought you wouldn’t come for me. Mr. Li, if you have feedback on my design, I’m all ears. I have no issues with your design. I have issues with you. Let go of me, Li Nanjue! Why did you leave Nancheng? To repay you as soon as possible. If I tell you not to repay the money, would you stay by my side? Why should I stay with you? I’m not your pet. Mr. Li, Can we get down to business now? Bai Ya, No one has ever dared hit me. You’re the first. You think I’d negotiate peacefully with you? What do you want then? Come back to Nancheng with me. This project I won’t collaborate with Ning Chengxiao. What? About the cooperation I’ll inform President Ning Since there’s no deal I’ll take my leave now If you want to be a designer Li Corporation can offer you that chance No need to stay here I actually like it here At least… without you You really hate me that much? Yes, I do Li Nanjue, I hate you President Ning I’m sorry, I… Li Nanjue rejected the collaboration How did you know? Completely expected Through unexpected channels I never expected Li Nanjue to be the partner We’ve invested so much in Binhai Project Are we really giving up now? That’s not necessarily the case Though Li Nanjue has deep pockets this isn’t his territory In many cases he can’t get intel fast enough Is there an issue with Binhai Project? Don’t worry about the project issues I’ll take care of it Focus on your responsibilities This Friday evening There’s a banquet I need you to accompany me Director Ning Surely you have plenty of escorts? I’m lacking Especially someone like you Don’t worry about work matters You’ll be working in Beicheng District Expanding your network is essential Hope I won’t embarrass you, Director Ning Bai Ya I trust you won’t let me down Chairman Li The charity banquet this Friday Will you attend? Not interested I heard Director Ning is going Since when does Beicheng have such a stunning woman? This is my first time seeing her What a coincidence, Chairman Li Didn’t expect you’d be interested in this kind of event Mr. Ning Bai Ya is with me. Stay away from her. Let go of me, Nanjue! Mr. Li Tonight, Bai Ya is my date. Show some respect! Mr. Li We’re not close. I’ll call security if you continue. Not particularly close. You stayed at my place for ages. Still not close enough? That was to care for Grandma. None of your business. Is that so? How about this? Why are you with Ning Chengxiao at this private event? What’s it to you? Do you think Chengxiao’s a saint? Stay away from him. Even if he’s no saint, he’s better than you. Bai Ya Never thought you’d hide in Beicheng and still pester Young Master Li. You’ve got a death wish. Is anyone there? The door seems broken. Can you fix it for me? Is anyone here? Don’t waste your energy. Everyone’s at the banquet. Who would notice a worthless woman missing? Bai Xinxin It’s you. Are you crazy? Open the door now! I’m keeping you locked in on purpose. Bai Ya You kept seducing my fiancé repeatedly. Let’s see who’ll save you now. Anyone? Help me! Help! Young Master Li So you came to Bei City. Wondered why I hadn’t seen you lately. Do I owe you explanations? Bai Xinxin We have nothing between us now. Check the surveillance. Find where Bai Ya went. Where’s Bai Ya? Where did you take her? Director Ning can’t even manage his date? And you dare confront me? I don’t have time for your nonsense. Bai Ya was right here. Speak! Where are you hiding her? I’m looking for her too. Hey. Director Li found Miss Bai. She entered the makeup room on first floor, and never came out. Is anyone there? Bai Ya! Li Nanjue! Baiya Li Nanjue It’s okay. I’m here. You’re trembling so much. Don’t push yourself. In his arms, I feel like the fear is fading away. I’m so scared. Baiya Where am I… Am I in the dressing room? You’re awake. You thought I’d do something to you? I… I didn’t mean… The way you look now is really arousing me. What? Relax. I’m not going to kiss you. Who locked you in the bathroom? Who else could it be? Are you implying… It was Bai Xinxin? Why would she frame you? And try to kill your unborn child? Is it Ning Chengxiao’s? Why won’t you answer? Feeling guilty? Why should I feel guilty? Take these questions to Bai Xinxin. Don’t direct them at me. Li Nanjue! Don’t think saving me tonight… gives you free rein over me. Whose child is it really? Fine. Stop! Li Nanjue, don’t make me hate you. Don’t push me to this. What did you say? If having you means… I’ll bear your hatred gladly. Binhai Project The Li Group will develop it alone. Why was I with Li Nanjue again last night? Did I wake you? No. Want to join the Binhai project’s design? Not interested. Why? Yet you fought so hard for it at the meeting. Such a respected CEO like you would start a project without thorough research? What do you mean? Just stating facts. The project has issues. Bai Ya Are you worried about me? CEO Li You must be delusional. Binhai Project is halted. Understood. Investigate Bai Xinxin thoroughly. Bai Ya Where were you last night? Why are you only answering now? My apologies, President Ning Something came up last night, so I left early Were you with Li Nanjue last night? No, absolutely not! Really? See you at the office later I need to go now President Ning Just received an update Li Nanjue is canceling the Binhai project What did you say? It’s a recent decision by Li Nanjue They probably found flaws in the project How else would they know without a tip? Wait When Bai Ya returns Send her to me President Ning You wanted to see me? Bai Ya Did you discuss the Binhai project with Li Nanjue? Li Nanjue’s team decided to abandon the development So it was you who leaked it I never told you before Because Li Nanjue and I have always been rivals In the business world, Li Nanjue and I have always been at odds with each other. I didn’t tell you earlier to keep you out of the conflict. The Binhai Project was my trap for him all along. While I’m no business expert, I can’t help but feel this approach might be crossing ethical boundaries. Business is a battlefield. We must adapt to such competition. Moreover, Do you have feelings for Li Nanjue? How could I? Mom’s surgery left us short on funds. I had to borrow from him indirectly. Now I owe him a debt. How much did you borrow? 100,000 yuan With interest, total repayment is 200,000 yuan. Our company’s new project in Dongcheng with Yuntian Corporation If you can secure this deal, the bonus is 200,000 yuan. Enough to repay him in full. Mr. Li, you’ve been waiting over an hour. Miss Bai probably isn’t in today. The Binhai Project is halted. Why is Mr. Li still coming here? To thank Bai Ya personally. If not for her, I wouldn’t have known CEO Ning planted this trap for me. Bai Ya is innocent. You’re exploiting her. Don’t flatter yourself, Mr. Li. Really? I believe Bai Ya warned me out of concern. She wanted to protect me. Unlike you, approaching her with ulterior motives. Oh? Who knew Mr. Li could care so deeply about a woman? Then I’ll just have to take her. Wouldn’t you agree, Ning Chengxiao? By the way, if you’re seeking Bai Ya, she’s not here. Mr. Li, we’ve discovered Miss Bai flew to Dongcheng last week. Ms. Bai This is the project site. Feel free to ask any questions. I’ll do my best to answer them. My pleasure. Be careful. Watch where you’re going! Ms. Bai, this is… Hello. I’m Li Nanjue. So you’re CEO Li from Li Corporation. But I heard you’ve been in Nancheng. What brings you to our humble— —little town so suddenly? Looking for a woman I lost. Stop talking nonsense! Can you back off? Fine. I’ll wait over here then. When did he… …get so gentle? Ms. Bai… Are you close with CEO Li? Not in the slightest. Get in. No thanks. I’ll take the bus. Bus? Here? We’re in the middle of nowhere. Buses come once… …every half hour if you’re lucky. Still none of your concern. Will you get in yourself… …or shall I carry you in? You— I’m getting in! What are you doing here? Come back to Nancheng with me. Do you really think that’s possible? Bai Ya I had no idea you were pregnant at the time. Why would I force you to have an abortion? Wake up! The child you’re carrying… Is it really Ning Chengxiao’s? What if it’s Ning Chengxiao’s? Don’t cause trouble for him. I don’t care about your rivalry with him. But I will never… become your weapon to hurt him. He’s helped me so much. I still know how to be grateful. Do you think… my questioning about the child’s parentage… is just to get back at him? Or do you actually care about me? Let me out at the next intersection. I need to get out. Once you’re in my car, you’re not getting out. Mr. Ning The project department reported… Li Nanjue went to Dongcheng yesterday. He met with Miss Bai. Keep close surveillance on them. Aren’t you getting off? Isn’t this your hotel? Or maybe you don’t want to go back? Are you really that unwilling to stay with me? Earlier in the car I thought Li Nanjue might do something to me. Turns out he just took me back. Why would he be so kind? Wait… How did he know I’m staying at this hotel? When I got in the car I didn’t mention anything. Excuse me, miss. Are you in room 1042? Yes. We sincerely apologize, there’s an issue with room 1042. It’s under maintenance now. To show our apologies, we’ve upgraded your room complimentary. Okay. Thanks. Li Nanjue, what are you doing here? I live here. Any problem? I live here. Is there a problem? How could it be so coincidental? I was in your car earlier. You didn’t ask where I live. And it just happened to stop in front of this hotel. And also, The hotel staff just said my room is under maintenance and they changed my room. Coincidentally, it’s right next to your room. So? Li Nan Jue, You followed me from Bei City to Dong City. What exactly do you want? Didn’t I tell you already? Come back to Nan City with me. Impossible. I’m here for work. My work isn’t finished yet. And even if I finish my work, I’m not going back to Nan City with you. I’m going back to Bei City. That’s okay. I have plenty of time to take it slow with you. But I don’t have time to waste on you. I need to get this project as soon as possible. Get the bonus soon. And completely cut ties. Manager Zhang, Hello, Xiaoya. Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together. The venue info I just collected today needs to be sorted. I also want to finish the design as soon as possible and hand it over to you. I might not have time. You know, many designers want to work on this project. So, what makes you think I should give it to you? Okay. I understand. Tonight, I’ll come over in person and discuss the project plan with you. That’s the spirit. 7 PM tonight, Haichuan Hotel private room. Don’t keep me waiting too long. Mr. Li is here. What an honor. Truly a pleasure. Please have a seat, Mr. Li. Xiaoya Mr. Li took the time to come. We should propose a toast to Mr. Li! Mr. Li came this morning to see you, right? Mr. Li’s company is collaborating with us. If you take good care of Mr. Li, I can easily get this project approved and assigned to you. No need for toasts. Xiaoya is the only woman here. With all us guys around, we should take the initiative. A toast to our successful collaboration! She can’t drink this. I’ll drink it for her. Who says I can’t drink? Depends on whose wine it is. I’d never refuse Manager Lin’s toast. Alright. Then this toast— Here’s to Miss Bai finalizing— a design that meets our standards. You handle your liquor well. Xiao Ya, come. Everyone— toast to Mr. Li! Xiao Ya, drink. Right. Have some more. Xiao Ya’s sitting already? Barely a few rounds! Manager Zhang, I genuinely can’t drink more. My limit’s— reached. Ganging up on a woman? Pathetic. Mr. Li, we thought— you fancied Xiao Ya. I do admire Bai Ya, but that’s between us. Stop scheming with cheap tricks. Our apologies. We overstepped. If I discover— you harass her— over this, Miss Bai’s skills are exemplary. We’ll definitely award her the project. Rest assured, Mr. Li. Come on. Give me the key card. I can open the door. Why should I give it to you? You… you monster! I won’t give it to you! How do you expect to rest in your room? I’ll do it myself. Where’s my key card? The key card— Did you forget to bring it? Let me go, Li Nanjue! You heartless jerk! I refuse to stay in the same room with you. I detest you. What have I done to deserve this? You don’t trust me. About Grandma’s situation, and our child— Our child is gone. And worst of all… You even confused me with Bai Xinxin that night! Which night are you talking about? If it wasn’t Bai Xinxin, then who was it? That night. It wasn’t Bai Xinxin. That night… it wasn’t her at all. Bai Ya? Are you talking about that night? That night… Was it you? Investigate what happened eight months ago, the night I got drunk. Apart from Bai Xinxin, was there anyone else… who entered my room? My head’s pounding. Why is Li Nanjue here? Wait… is this even— my room? You kept me up all last night, and now you’re sneaking out? Bai Ya… You’re quick to kick down the ladder. I drank too much last night. I don’t remember a thing. I can help you recall what I did. Kicking off the blankets and clinging to me. Kept trying to kiss me too. Li Nanjue I was drunk, not insane. Why would I kiss you? If you’re gonna lie, at least make it believable. I don’t mind reminding you if I’m lying. You kicked the blankets while sleeping so restless. Don’t go. I won’t leave. You’re lying! You said you wouldn’t go, now you’re leaving? You should sleep now. Bai Ya You’re playing with fire. Let go properly now, or else I can’t guarantee what’ll happen next. You’re so noisy! Seems like you remember now. No. Don’t talk nonsense. Last night with Li Nanjue… Did we sleep together or not? My clothes are still intact. But I only remember kissing him. Don’t overthink. I would never take advantage of a drunk woman. It’s obvious to me. Aren’t you questioning whether we slept together last night? Mr. Li. I have work to attend to. I’ll take my leave now. Director Ning? Why didn’t you answer earlier? Overslept. Last night with CloudSky Corp’s managers… Got drunk during the meeting. Didn’t wake up to my alarm. That’s my fault. Apologies. Nonsense! Don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m not blaming you. Why apologize first? Does your head still hurt? I’m fine. Director Ning. What can I do for you? Here’s the thing: CloudSky Corp just confirmed they’ve finalized the partnership. We got the deal! Seems you did well. So soon? Weren’t they supposed to review the designs before making decisions? In business matters competence isn’t the only factor. Seems you impressed them at last night’s dinner. Bai Ya You handled this exceptionally well. I didn’t do much really but trust yourself. Your professional skills are solid if you improve your social skills future projects will keep coming. Don’t worry, Thank you, Mr. Ning. I’ll work harder. Complete the designs properly so we can wrap this up soon. You’ll get your bonus earlier too. Oh, I’m returning to Dongcheng tomorrow to sign contracts with them. See you then. Understood. Goodbye, Mr. Ning. I just had a few drinks yesterday These old foxes wouldn’t hand over the project so easily… Unless… Could Li Nianjue have done something…? Mr. Ning received news Bai Ya and Li Nianjue are staying at the same hotel. I knew it. Change my flight to tonight and book their hotel. Yes. Didn’t you say Cheng Xiao was coming tomorrow? Since there’s nothing urgent at work, I came over tonight to get some proper rest. This is for you. Here. You’ve exceeded expectations by securing this partnership for the company so swiftly. I’m genuinely impressed. Sorry I was in such a rush earlier— I just grabbed these flowers on the way. Consider this your interim reward. Bonuses will be processed based on your performance review. Thank you. I’ll accept the flowers gratefully. But keep the bonus— I’m perfectly satisfied with the $200,000 already. Director Li, what a coincidence! Never expected to see you here in East City. Not coincidence. I came specifically to see Bai Ya. You haven’t eaten all night, have you? Leave the blueprints for now. Come have dinner with me first. You can resume work after. Bai Ya. Our reservation is confirmed. Let’s go. I’m not hungry at all I should get back to work now Can’t you see Bai Ya doesn’t want anything to do with you? Mr. Li, why bother chasing her every single day? No shame at all? You’re just Bai Ya’s boss Don’t flatter yourself as her boyfriend And those flowers? So tacky As long as Bai Ya’s happy How do you know she dislikes my flowers? Actually, I should thank you If it weren’t for you she wouldn’t have come all the way to Beicheng to work with me There’s something you should thank me for The reason Yuntian Company partnered with you so quickly is because I was at that business dinner yesterday Li Nanjue was at that dinner too Bai Ya You… Yuntian invited Li Nanjue I had no idea Chengxiao I just want to complete this project and repay that 200,000 ASAP Understood Finish the design draft first After signing the contract we’ll leave Dongcheng Mr. Li Ms. Bai left this afternoon. Ning Chengxiao went to CloudSky Corp. The contract was signed. She also stated After Ms. Bai completes the blueprint, she’ll depart immediately. Their project team Future communication will be remote They seem determined to keep her away from Dongcheng. He’s being extremely cautious. Understood. Xiao Ya Entrusting this project to you was absolutely the right call. Not only did you exceed expectations, but achieved it in record time. That’s truly amazing! Thank you. I’ll keep pushing forward. How was the presentation? They seemed quite satisfied. Alright, We’ll leave this afternoon then. Bai Ya These past few days I let you focus on your work didn’t mean I’d wait for you to slip back to Beicheng silently. Li Nanshi We’re done. There’s nothing between us now. Stop clinging to me. Who was the one at the hotel clutching my arm, begging me to stay? Trying to kiss me? What? Now you’re pretending we’re strangers? I was drunk! Director Li, This groveling is beneath you. Can’t you see my staff despises you? Stay away from Bai Ya. What do you want? Name your price. What if the only thing I want is her? You— Li Nanshi! What are you doing? Bai Ya, listen well: You’re mine. No one will take you from me. The project was well executed. I’ll give you the bonus in advance. The project isn’t finished yet. Receiving bonuses early isn’t proper. Anyway, this bonus… will be yours eventually. Let’s follow proper procedures. Li Nanjue keeps bothering you. Aren’t you tired of it? After returning the money to him… you’ll be settled with him. Then you can firmly reject him. Alright. Thank you. Bai Ya. I don’t want your thanks. To be honest, I have my own motives. I don’t want him bothering you anymore. This is rare. It’s your first time asking me out. There’s 200,000 in this card. The 100,000 I owed you… plus 100,000 interest… now we’re completely square. This is why you pulled all-nighters… and worked so hard… to secure the project? Yes. Young Master Li, where are you? I think I’m going into early labor. Wait. Take your money back. We’ll discuss this later. Nothing more to say. I’ve repaid the money. We’re even now. Are you so determined to cut ties with me? Yes. Since you’re so concerned about Bai Xinxin, why keep pursuing me? Why break up with me? Why? She can’t drink this wine. I’ll drink it for her. I’m not leaving. I can’t promise what might happen next. You’re so noisy. What brings you here? Worried about you. Bai Ya You can always cry in front of me. Did something happen? Is there anything you can’t tell me? Or perhaps you never considered me your confidant? I didn’t tell you before for a reason. Since leaving the Bai family, Bai Xinxin’s been tormenting me. She even bribed maids to cause my miscarriage. Now her child is about to be born. Why is the world so unfair? My child died, hers gets to live. I will have vengeance. Cheng Xiao This wrong must be righted. Now that’s the Bai Ya I know. What do you need me to do? Just say the word. Bai Xinxin’s baby is due soon. That child isn’t Li Nanjue’s. I have proof of her infidelity. Expose her for me. I’ll make Bai Xinxin pay with her reputation. Consider it done. Young Master Li You’re finally here. Xinxin thought she’d deliver without you. She was crying earlier. What’s happening? The nurse said we need to wait until she’s 3cm dilated. More waiting then? Young Master Li’s arrival will comfort Xinxin. Mr. Li The internet is flooded with intimate photos of Bai Xinxin and Feng Qian There are even leaks about her multiple past relationships Send me the links Bai Xinxin You woman You actually made a fool of me Dig deeper into everything about Bai Xinxin Leave no detail unchecked Nurse My daughter’s in excruciating pain She might be going into labor Check on her now Young Master Li Xinxin’s in terrible pain Probably in labor What’s that to me? The child she’s carrying is supposed to be yours Now that she’s due How can you say it’s not your concern? My child? It’s Feng Qian’s, isn’t it? Your Bai family the whole lot of you have been acting out this charade You think this is funny? Ugh Impossible How does he know the child isn’t his? Where is Li Nanjiong? Does he know the child in Xinxin’s belly belongs to Feng Qian? What? How is that possible? How did this happen? The affair between Xinxin and Feng Qian has been exposed online. Bai Group’s stock is plummeting. Look what you’ve done! This is all your fault! I warned you to be cautious with Feng Qian. And now look— You’ve ruined the entire Bai family! Zhenting, calm down! Get a grip! Mr. Bai, the project department received multiple withdrawal requests. Shareholders are dumping stocks. Where are the other executives? Where did they go? Senior executives submitted resignations. Bai Group Bai Group must not be destroyed! Mr. Li Regarding Xīn Xīn’s situation We are truly sorry But now Bai Group’s stocks have plummeted I’m completely out of options I beg you Please save our family Hmph Xīn Xīn only saw Bai Ya clinging to you felt insecure In a moment of weakness she had an affair with Feng Qian and lied about the baby being yours Though she barely escaped death she still hasn’t woken up Mr. Li Could you consider our past relationship and help us through this crisis? She made a mistake I think she knew exactly Every move was calculated manipulation Bai Ya never pursued me It was your daughter who forced Bai Ya to abort I didn’t publicly announce the engagement cancellation only out of respect for our past bond As for the Bai family ending up like this you brought it upon yourselves The news says Bai Group is bankrupt The Bais now bear massive debts I also heard Bai Xīn Xīn narrowly survived childbirth and lost her baby Our plan succeeded This should be a victory So why don’t I feel any happiness? The Bais have fallen But my two children will never come back to me Alright. I booked a restaurant for tonight. Let’s go celebrate properly. I’ve got work to finish. Might be working late. Others are rushing to clock out, why volunteer for overtime? I’m the boss. You follow my orders. Reserve the revolving restaurant downtown. Have them decorate it tonight. I’m proposing to Bai Ya tonight. Everything’s settled now. You’re even with Li Nanjue. The Bai family got their due punishment. I finally waited for this day to confess openly: My feelings… Bai Ya, I love you. Chengxiao, I… Chengxiao, I’m sorry. I’ve always considered you just a friend. I know you love Li Nanjue. But it’s okay. Someday I’ll replace his place in your heart. Give me a chance to care for you. Please? Chengxiao? I don’t want to get married. Marriage isn’t for me. Then let’s start with dating. No need for marriage yet. When you’re ready, we’ll discuss today’s plans. Alright? Mr. Ning Gossip Weekly reported your last night’s successful marriage proposal Should we clarify? No need. Let them publish the story. Ning Chengxiao, North City’s rising star successfully proposed last night to a mysterious woman. That’s Bai Ya— that *woman? My child is gone. The engagement’s off. How dare she… marry Ning Chengxiao! 200,000 I’ll pay to end Bai Ya’s life. Bai Xinxin How dare you still call me? Mr. Li, I wronged you, but think Bai Ya’s innocent? Breaking news: Ning Chengxiao proposed to Bai Ya! What makes her different? She’s just another flirtatious *woman! Bai Ya’s not like you. Stop slandering her. Bai Ya Is this your revenge? CEO Li The hotel surveillance from 8 months ago has been restored. Bai Xinxin wasn’t alone that night— in your suite. Ms. Bai had entered earlier. Bai Ya So it’s been you all along. I won’t let you marry Ning Chengxiao! Book me a flight to North City. Thanks for walking me home, Cheng Xiao. I should get going now. Li Nanjue Why are you here? Eight months ago You entered my room You were the one who slept with me. The child you carried was mine. Right? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve reviewed the surveillance footage. It clearly shows you entering my room. Your pregnancy report I’ve seen it too. The timeline matches perfectly. Bai Ya I know I was terribly wrong. I should’ve trusted you. So what now? What’s the point of saying this now? Bai Ya, I love you. From the very beginning I’ve had feelings for you. I know you feel the same way. Don’t you? Don’t marry Ning Chengxiao. Come back to Nancheng with me. Please. Mr. Li You need to leave now. Li Nanjue Are you out of your mind? I’m already in a relationship. Stop harassing me. And I owe you nothing. Boyfriend, not fiancé. None of your business! Bai Xinxin just had a miscarriage. Shouldn’t you be with her instead of chasing my girlfriend? Still calling her your girlfriend? Failed proposal, huh? So what? She’s mine now. Marriage will come eventually. Bai Ya never loved you. But I don’t care. Her love isn’t required as long as she stays. That’s enough. I just wanted to take what you cherish. Pure entertainment. Li Nanjue, now you know how it feels to lose someone you love? So you admit you’ve been using Bai Ya all along? Can’t handle the truth? Belle Yaa Hey! Stop right there! Xiao Ning is just using you to get back at me. Don’t act recklessly. Marrying him is madness! Liam Nanjue I know exactly what I’m doing. This isn’t impulsive. I’ve heard enough. Stop bothering me. Belle Yaa Belle Yaa You can’t leave me. Doctor, how is Belle Yaa? The patient is out of immediate danger. But her spine sustained severe damage. Paralysis is likely. What?! Miss Bai… Belle Yaa won’t survive unscathed. Perfect. I’m sorry. I failed to protect you. It’s all my fault. Where am I? This is a hospital. You were in a car accident. You just had surgery. My legs… Why can’t I move my legs? Don’t move around. The doctor said you have a severe cervical spine injury. It might… What does that mean? Am I paralyzed? Baiya, that’s not possible. I’ll find someone to heal you. As for who hit you, I’ll get to the bottom of this. With me here, you’ll be safe. Track down the driver responsible. I’ll make sure he pays. Bai Ya Why aren’t you at work yet? I… I was in a car accident. I’m at the hospital now. Li Nanjue, how dare you… lay a finger on Bai Ya?! It wasn’t him. A car came out of nowhere… and hit me. What did the doctor say? Possible paralysis. Bai Ya, I told you. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ve contacted top specialists in Nan Cheng. Once you’re stable, we’ll transfer you for treatment. This isn’t your concern. If there’s any arranging, her boyfriend should do it. Right now, Bai Ya’s health comes first. Enough with the nonsense. Everyone out. I’m tired. I need rest. You went to see Dr. Gu today, right? Feeling unwell? It’s Bai Ya. She was in a car accident this morning. Her lower body might be paralyzed. I wanted to consult Dr. Gu about specialists in this field. Who can take over her treatment. Cheng Xiao. When you proposed to Bai Ya, did you consult me or your mother? Dad, what’s this about? Bai Ya’s background was never suitable. Now she might become disabled. The Ning family will never accept a disabled daughter-in-law. You never cared about me. Why meddle in my life now? Because you’re Ning Shengting’s son! Let me make this clear: Choose between Bai Ya and the Ning family inheritance. Oh, this is Old Master Zhang’s treasured granddaughter’s contact. Marrying into the Zhang family will boost your career. You’ve always been a smart boy. I trust you’ll make the right choice. Mr. Li, the driver who hit Ms. Bai has been found. He claims Bai Xinxin paid him. Also, the surveillance from Madam’s accident has been restored. Bai Xinxin entered the kitchen and tampered with the medicine. Her actions likely caused Madam’s condition. Submit the evidence to police. I’ll make Bai Xinxin rot in jail! Ms. Bai Though Bai Ya’s crippled this incident was uncovered by Li Nancheng. I’m fleeing the country soon. You’re on your own now. What did you say? You worthless fool! Hey! Open the door! Young Master Li, I was wrong! I truly regret my actions. Please spare me! I’ll stay far from Bai Ya forever. I’ll never reappear in your sight again. I beg you! Bai Xinxin You killed Bai Ya’s and my child. You put Grandma in a coma! Now you want mercy? Wishful thinking! Why are you here? To take care of you. I don’t need your care. Have some food. The nurse will perform a thorough checkup later. When results come in, Dr. Lin will review them first. After you eat, I’ll share good news. Stop being cryptic! Just tell me the news! Before… I’ve looked into Bai Xinxin’s case. Everything’s confirmed. The driver who hit you yesterday— was also her doing. And when Grandma fell unconscious— she drugged her. She’s been arrested by now. She’ll never get out. The truth finally came out. Baiya, I’m sorry. I wronged you all this time. I was blind— to keep trusting Bai Xinxin. Baiya… Let me spend my whole life— making it up to you. Li Nanjue. Some mistakes can’t be undone. There’s no cure for regret. Even if you deny me this chance— you can’t possibly— marry Ning Chengxiao. While you were hospitalized— he got engaged to the Zhang heiress. It’s all over the news. Mr. Li… Your grandmother… just regained consciousness. Truly! How’s her condition? Stable. But after waking— she asked for you and Ms. Bai. Tell her I’ll— bring Baiya to see her. Cheng Xiao I heard you’re engaged. Bai Ya I’m sorry. As the eldest son of the Ning family, this arranged marriage… I can’t refuse it. But rest assured, I’ve arranged for top specialists and will cover all your medical costs. Everything’s taken care of. This is the last thing… I can do for you. Stop it, Cheng Xiao. You owe me nothing. I truly wish you happiness. Bai Ya Grandma’s awake. Really? Grandma’s conscious! The doctors say you can be transferred now. Bai Ya Let’s go see Grandma together, okay? Grandma? Xiao Ya! Tell me what on earth… happened to you? Why the wheelchair? It’s a long story. I’m really fine, Grandma. Please don’t worry. You brat! I heard Bai Xinxin… was arrested and jailed. Was her scheming… connected to your injury? I thought that woman… was only targeting me. But she dared… to harm Xiao Ya too! Grandma… Calm down. Grandma. Bai Xinxin has received… her rightful punishment. Xiao Ya. What Nanjue did… all the harm… he wronged you. Please… for my sake… give this fool… a chance to make amends. You go out first. I need to talk to Xiaoya in private. Xiaoya… Now it’s just the two of us. Tell Granny honestly— do you like my grandson? He may seem cold, and didn’t treat you well before, but that Bai Xinxin woman deceived him. I can see clearly— he truly cares about you. Granny… I need time to think. I’m not defending him, but I genuinely like you. I want a better life for you. Bai Xinxin’s targeting you because of Nan Jue. He’s the one who dragged you into this. At least let that rascal accompany you through your treatment. It’ll make up for his mistakes. Is that okay? Starting today, I’ll design a treatment plan for you. It’ll be challenging, but if you persist, recovery is likely. Thank you, Doctor. You’re her partner? We’re not— Encourage her often and stay by her side through this tough time. I’ll always be here for my wife. Your recovery speed is much faster than expected. At this rate, in just another month you’ll regain full mobility. Doctor, thank you for your care. Credit goes to Ms. Bai’s persistence and your companionship. and your companionship. They’re why we achieved such remarkable progress. Mr. Li, this wedding invitation from Ning Chengxiao. You overstep your authority. Delivering this now? My apologies, sir. It’s fine. My past with Chengxiao is over. Inform the Nings: We decline the invitation. Understood. Bai Ya, He came on his own accord. This wasn’t my doing. I made no accusations. I just wanted to clarify. Bai Ya I never told you before The Li and Ning families have had business disputes for years. Years ago during the Northern Suburbs bidding, Ning Chengxiao lost the project due to a bidding error. But he mistakenly blamed us for stealing his bid details. I became a thorn in his side. How can you bring this up now? Ning Chengxiao might have feelings for you, but his pursuit of you was to get revenge. Now, to inherit the family business, he’s giving up on you. Such a man isn’t worth longing for. I’m not attached to Ning Chengxiao. If he finds his own happiness, that’s fine. Bai Ya Since you have no feelings left for him, give me a chance instead. My feelings for you have never changed. Giving a chance… Well, maybe it’s possible. Depends on your performance. I’ll make sure to satisfy you. Nan Jue All packed up? Why not leave yet? There’s one thing I haven’t finished yet. The discharge papers and luggage are all sorted now. Everything’s ready. Bai Ya After all this time… Are you satisfied with my performance? Xiaoya Answer Nan Jue first. Passable. I wanted to wait longer, but… I realized I can’t wait another second. Since you’re satisfied, Bai Ya, with how I’ve been… May I ask… Can I become permanent? As your lawful husband. What I mean is… Will you marry me? Let me cherish you forever. I do. Bai Ya Thank you. I love you. I love you too. Nan Jue
