A Beautiful Life Page #3

He has no business getting married.

But please believe me.

As his brother, I'll look after them both.

Please re-consider.

- You're mistaken, Mr Fang.

- No.

I know...

you don't want Xiaowan to suffer.

No.

Look.

I trust he will be good to her. Look.

Look at the details... she looks so pretty.

Xiaowan knows...

Zhencong will make her happy.

She says she's not mute...

in Zhencong's world.

She's unique.

Chicken.

- Xiaowan, Zhencong usually...

- Dong.

- Auntie.

- Dong.

I made sweet & sour spareribs...

for the guests.

- I brought them over.

- That's enough.

Help yourselves.

Thank you.

- So happy.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

No bottoms up.

The food is getting cold.

- Let me get you a helping.

- A toast to Xiaowan's Mom.

Must be tough for you.

Thank you.

So happy.

No bottoms up.

Half...

Cheers.

Miss Li, are you all right?

So happy.

Are you all right?

So happy.

So much happiness in this world.

Mother's love, brotherly love.

Enough love to get married. I've seen them all.

I thought they had gone extinct.

Did you see Xiaowan's Mom?

When you said you'd take care of Zhencong,

did you see how happy she looked?

Yes.

You know then how much she loves Xiaowan.

Yes.

You cried.

I did not.

Yes, you did.

I did not.

Yes, you did. Tears rolled down your face.

It's obvious you cried.

OK, I cried...

It's all right. Take it easy.

Everyone was crying

and everyone was happy.

Miss Li.

Everyone but me.

My Mom is a b*tch when she wants money.

What am I to her?

An ATM machine.

You look after your kid brother,

but everyone in my family is selfish.

You had too much to drink.

Miss Li.

Next time don't drink so much.

I did not.

Men always make me

drink a lot.

I used to be a hairstylist.

Right.

Hairstylists are cool.

But with no money? Cool my ass.

Right.

I'm not...

I'm not hungry for money.

I just don't want to be like my parents.

They bought a flat...

before they retired.

Now the family is stuck with the mortgage.

I have to give them $5,000 a month,

and I still have 9 more years to go.

I'll be 40 years old.

Right. Miss Li.

You will be fine...

just too much alcohol.

I want a man who won't make me pay mortgage.

I don't mind if he's married.

But he only wants my money,

not me.

It's all right. I'll go to Taiwan alone...

to Shanghai, to Beijing,

I don't care.

Stop it,

Miss Li.

- I'm tired.

- Don't say it

Don't say it anymore, Miss Li.

Whenever you need me, I'll be there.

Miss Li.

Nobody would hire me for the last 6 months.

Even a mute is wanted but not me.

Miss Li.

Sorry,

but we don't approve of your business.

We have reviewed your file.

If you were in Hong Kong,

we would have approved your application,

but not here.

It's high risk for us as you're new at this.

Here's the kids' room. Get a feel for it.

- Not bad.

- Think about it.

We have to go, Mr Fang. You'll hear from me.

Well?

If you want it, you must hurry.

I can't guarantee I can hold it.

I like it.

The price...

Negotiable. Let's talk back in the office.

- I'm sure you'll be happy.

- All right.

You don't have to sell it.

Zhencong needs the money to get married.

You should think it over.

Maybe she'll find a job.

Then she won't need to borrow from you.

Zhencong will get his share.

I'm only loaning her my share.

"Alcohol is bad for you... best of luck to you. "

Renovation starts on the 1st.

The carpenters arrive on the 2nd,

electricians on the 5th,

bricklayers from the 6th to the 10th.

They must clear out on the 11th,

because the furniture is here on the 12th.

Cleaning from the...

worship ceremony on the 17th,

and we're open for business on the 18th.

Have some coffee.

Thanks.

You don't want any?

What's wrong?

She wants to borrow $20K more?

That's $300K altogether.

The price she paid for getting dumped.

You're not responsible for her.

It's not about responsibility.

I'm in love with her.

It's true.

I like to hear her

call me Fang Zhendong.

Fang Zhendong.

What are you doing?

What is going on?

You said nothing during the renovation.

Now you're starting trouble.

I don't know what happened before.

But this ceiling is...

against regulations.

Miss Li,

your wiring is illegal.

I can't be held responsible for accidents.

How would I know there's a problem?

I need to open for business tomorrow.

What do you expect me to do?

What is it?

Fang Zhendong. They're tearing down the shop.

Talk to them.

What's the problem?

The sprinkler and the wiring.

Can we put in an extra pipe over here?

No, you must tear it down.

Don't talk to them. Talk to their boss.

I had a contract.

I must open for business.

Let me talk to your boss.

Your wiring is against regulations.

Fang Zhendong, you're a cop.

Tell them to get the hell out.

This is not Hong Kong. You must obey the law.

Is there another solution?

Can we put in something? Take a look.

Her power supply is very problematic.

Uncle Dong.

Zhencong. Xiaowan.

Dong.

Wear this even if you're not wearing suits.

I know you're busy, so I bought them for you.

I'll make dinner.

Zhencong, is Dong all right?

He's all right.

Zhencong, the oil and vinegar...

Dong.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You...

I'll make dinner...

the oil...

The scanner shows blood stasis in your brain,

and you have sustained an injury.

Were you in an accident?

A few years ago when I caught a criminal.

The stasis is pressing against your nerves

and is affecting your memory.

Doctor, does he need surgery?

No, that's too risky.

We'll try something more conventional.

What will happen?

Hard to say. Maybe nothing.

Or maybe you'll forget everything.

Xiaole, you're a real jerk.

What?

I said you're a jerk. Got it?

You betrayed your mentor.

I did nothing wrong. I told the truth.

He also told me, I must report every mistake.

He did use the patrol car to help his girl.

Shut up.

This is the precinct, not the cadet school.

You're not the prefect. Don't be a snitch.

You'll soon be the team leader too, you'll...

Stop it.

This is ridiculous.

Chief.

Xiaole.

You did the right thing. You learned from me.

I...

Shut up.

Dong, let's talk to the boss.

Everyone makes mistakes.

You can't say that, Zhu Tian.

You shouldn't try to cover it up.

One must own up to one's mistakes.

I've been a cop for over 10 years.

As an honest cop,

even when I'm not in uniform,

I'm still a cop, right?

"Only a bass guitar is left"

"listening to my heart. "

"I miss you"

"in this empty room. "

"My dreams have left me. "

"I'm lost when I wake up. "

"I keep searching"

"in this gloomy world. "

Salute.

"I'm like a pathetic joke"

"holding onto thin air. "

"Perhaps I should have given up,"

"given up meaningless courage. "

"I should not hope for anything. "

"I should not believe in miracles,"

"but go on living without any expectations. "

"Nothing can be resolved. "

"Why talk about the future?"

"I can't let go"

"my love for you. "

"The silent guitar"

"is answering me quietly. "
