A Beautiful Life Page #2

"I made this because we're pressed for time. "

Everyone wants ready-made, not the process.

That's because he's married.

You told me when you were drunk.

I was drunk?

I'm a cop, I have a still trap.

Thank you.

He's early.

Put this on.

Andrew.

Thanks. Is the john fixed?

Yes.

Thank you.

It's all right.

I made you dumplings.

I can do better than that.

I remember the 1994...

World Cup final.

BraZil Vs...

Italy.

In the U.S.A.

Brazil Vs Italy.

I remember my ex just left me,

and you made me watch the World Cup with you.

Dong, get your facts straight.

She left because you watched the World Cup

or you watched it...

because she left you?

Fang Zhendong. Where are you?

Our worry is uncalled for.

All right.

Miss Li. Are you all right?

No lights?

You blew a fuse? No air-con?

- No power.

- This is supposed to be a 5-star home.

You're drunk again?

There's nothing to drink but alcohol.

You can't do this.

Get the manager to fix it.

Miss Li,

you should call your boyfriend.

My boyfriend?

Yes.

He doesn't want me. He's with his wife.

Miss Li.

Miss Li.

Miss Li.

Lie down.

Cover up.

You have anything thicker?

Little lamb.

- Miss Li.

- Why are you so nice to me?

Why did you come over when I called?

I'm not a little lamb, Miss Li.

Little lamb.

Miss Li.

You always come over

I'm not a little lamb, Miss Li.

When I call.

Miss Li, I'm Fang Zhendong.

Miss Li.

Let me see your heart.

Miss Li.

Why even you don't want me?

I'm all alone.

Hold me.

I'm cold.

I'm tired.

Are you all right?

Did I invite you over?

Of course.

We're going to have a baby then.

We slept...

in the same bed.

Get up.

What is your make-up doing in the freezer?

For women,

this is more important than water.

Miss Li, I must go home.

I must make breakfast for my kid brother.

That's so sweet.

What do you mean by little lamb?

What little lamb?

You call me that when you're drunk.

That's gibberish.

Want me to make you breakfast?

Yes.

Your ginger tea.

Eat.

Breakfast is ready.

Your brother is an artist.

I'm sorry. I must go look for my brother.

What?

Zhencong.

Zhencong.

Zhencong.

You're not working today. Why are you here?

Is everything all right?

He's your kid brother?

- Have you eaten?

- How cute.

Hello.

So cute.

Are you cold?

I'm fine.

I'll help you.

Good.

Zhencong, let's go home.

Let's go.

Yours?

So you're actually a handsome man.

Hot dumplings.

Come here.

Let's eat.

Try it.

Slowly... it's hot.

Put this on.

So many awards.

I work hard because I can't do anything else.

Serving the people.

You have a nice home.

You call this nice?

My ex...

took everything when she left,

including the wedding picture on the wall.

You have a 5-star home. I have no star.

Your ex?

When did you get married?

not for very long. She left 9 years ago.

I hope you'll sleep well.

How long have you been seeing her?

Dating.

Few men remember things like that.

We both like A-Mei then.

She was a hit.

My ex sang "Crushed by the One I Love. "

She said I clapped the loudest.

Then I sang Chen Xing's "Don't be Lonely. "

She said she was moved when I sang it to her.

Moved? I'll have to hear this.

It's your smell.

No way. I always put it out...

in the sun.

Here.

Nobody ever says it smells.

Right?

Get some sleep.

Good night.

Your call cannot be connected.

Hello.

How are you, nice to meet you.

Turn left at the next intersection,

turn right at the next light...

- and go straight.

- Thanks.

- Don't mention it.

- Thanks.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Chief, you haven't submitted your reports.

What reports?

The daily reports.

No way. I hand them in on time every day.

But they didn't receive it.

Who told you?

We come here at 4:30 every day.

I turn it in at 5:30. It cannot be.

But you haven't turned it in for 3 days.

Fang Zhendong.

Get in, Zhencong.

Aren't you tired of wearing that?

I'm only tired of not wearing them.

Can you do me a favor?

Like what?

Follow my boyfriend.

No.

He put all my money on a flat.

I can't afford a private investigator.

I can't abuse my power, understand?

You're supposed to serve the people.

I can't mix business with pleasure.

Please?

Forget it.

What do you want to know?

I want to know if there's another woman.

His wife is a woman.

She's his past.

Other women will be his future.

Even if I'll find out he has another woman,

I can only tell you "No," understand?

It's all right, I'm fine.

You're bleeding.

It's all right.

Wait a minute.

- It's all right.

- I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Dong.

Xiaowan.

Having a good time?

Zhencong.

I made soup.

Xiaowan.

Spare me that guy's things. I'm no trash can.

You're so petty.

I better go then.

It's all right.

Chief, did you hand it in?

Mind your business. I'm serious.

Fang Zhendong.

What is it?

One piece of luggage.

Ruby.

What are you doing, Peiru? Are you craZy?

Peiru.

Watch it.

Forget it, Andrew.

I want my money back.

What money?

My commission from selling each flat.

I already gave you $20K...

for your credit cards.

My commission is over $100K.

Says who?

Ruby did most of the work.

You're from Hong Kong. You can't be serious?

Get up.

How can you say that?

I'm fine. I can still manage...

without men or money.

What?

Why did you move back?

The creep took my 5-star home.

I was at your office.

I was fired.

Why?

It happens. Layoffs after the new year.

When the stock market falls, people split up.

I consulted a fortune teller.

He told me to put these here for good luck.

Get me the salt.

Inside this cupboard?

Yes.

Pour it in.

All of it.

Put this on the east west side.

I'll have luck and health.

Why are you here?

I made dumplings.

Nuke them...

if you're hungry.

I have to go.

Throw these out for me.

You don't want this?

Earth to earth, dust to dust.

It's all right. You can call me.

Tear this down, my work station over here.

The pantry over here.

Coffee, red wine, mixer...

Over here,

Heaven and Earth Real Estate Co.

How much is the rent?

Around $280K in total.

That's almost $300K.

Just $280K.

I already got a discount.

$300K is a lot.

You should re-consider.

- What do you mean?

- Nothing.

- You don't think I can do this?

- I don't mean that.

I came to Beijing by myself.

I won't be here

if I'm scared.

I'll get a loan from the bank.

Miss Li.

If you had...

told me about Andrew earlier,

I could have made Ruby leave him.

None of this would have happened.

Miss Li.

I don't blame you, OK?

I know what I have to do.

"Final notice. "

I'm glad you're here.

I don't know how to deal with Xiaowan's Mom.

Dong.

Zhencong, the green onions...

Here they are.

Here.

Go.

I'm here because of this, Mr Fang.

"Mom, Zhencong wants me to marry him. "

We're poor and my daughter is a mute,

but...

I won't marry her off casually.

I must make sure she's happy.

I know,

my brother has communication issues.

He can't even take care of himself,

let alone take care of someone else.
