Don'! make a scene. Gel out.

You're the slut.

Did we have a dale?

You're not... Meiling?

She's Fenyu.

Your second cousin from the Northeast.

A young gentleman should have class

and some sense of restraint.

Grandma - why didn't you tell me you'd drop in?

Lake crabs are in season.

I know you like them.

I chose the fattest, juciest ones for you.

I've given them to Cook.

Xie Yifan!

Xie Yifan - you're a cad!

How embarrassing.

You're a cad!

It's our first story

on a woman entrepreneur.

Good, a bit to the left.

How do you feel?

Confidant that I won't be the last.

There'll be many more outstanding women.

Are you buying

Jin Zhihuan's company?

Is that true?

Until the board announces it.

Ifs merely rumour.

Miss Mo. have a look at the paper.

Love at first Sight for Tycoon Jin?

Love at first Sight for Tycoon Jin?

Miss Mo. please smile.

Let's lake a little break.

Okay, just a little break.

Love at first Sight for Tycoon Jin?

I'm sorry, sir.

How long have you been here?

Two weeks.

Go go go.

Move on, move on.

I'm so hungry.

Have pity on me!

Director X\e, nice to see you.

This way, please.

Hello, Miss Mo.

L-li.

How's it feel lo be dumped?

What do you think?

Nothing stands between us now.

We could start over.

I've already got someone new.

That babyface?

Isn't he a friend of yours?

LS anyone in Shanghai a friend?

Fan, I invited you here tonight

to ask a favour. Okay?

What's that?

Mrs Zhu!

Hey, Miss Mo.

You've really gone all out tonight!

This must be Beibei.

Have you heard?

Our Beibei is engaged to Mr Jin Zhihuan.

Really? Congratulations.

But she's terribly young - only 16.

She knows nothing of the world.

I'd love it if you could mentor her.

Alright - I'll be her godmother.

Really'?

Godmother.

Sweetie.

Oh, this is Mrs Zhu.

Mr Xxe, have you met?

Mrs Zhu.

This is her little jewel.

Hello.

There's Madame Du. Excuse us.

Hello.

Mrs Zhu. nice lo see you.

Fenyu, when did you get to Shanghai?

I've just arnved.

So what's the favou r'?

Take care of that virgin.

Wow.

Jin Zhihuan insists his wife be a virgin.

If you can manage lo have her first,

he'll be the laughingstock of Shanghai.

Crossing Jin Zhihuan is a dangerous game.

He needs a taste of his own medicine.

I thought you liked danger.

To be on your bad side - that's danger.

So will you do it for me?

Good evening, ladies and gentleman.

The exiles from the occupied Northeast

share a common fate with us.

We must help them onto their feet

and give them the means to live.

Please keep in mind -

is an investment in Shanghai.

It benefits every person in this city.

Thanks for your donation

and Mr Xie Yifan

for providing the venue.

I want one. I Want one.

Madame Du Fenyu.

Madame Du'?

Madame Du Fenyu, this way.

Madame Du Fenyu is approaching the stage.

Please give her a warm welcome.

Hello everyone.

I have in my hands

a necklace of great personal Significance.

It was my late husband

Huimin's engagement gift.

I'm donating it

to help the refugees.

If he were alive, I know he'd approve.

Our compatriots lost their homes.

But they survive, as does the nation.

Our hope hasn't been deslroyed.

I assure you -

your donations give them hope.

Thank you.

Besides. I have a new target.

May I have this dance'?

Sorry. I can't dance.

I'll teach you.

First time I've seen a woman refuse Mr Xie.

Madame Du, ifs been a long lime.

Jieyu, you just get prettier and prettier.

Miss M0, this is Fenyu.

We're distant cousins.

May I accept the dance on your behalf?

Please.

I'm honored.

Excuse us.

You're crazy.

Not at all.

You want lo seduce her?

You seem to know a lot about her.

The newspapers say she's like a goddess.

She's not your usual type.

I'm growing sick of Shanghainese women.

Even me?

You're the exception of course.

Her late husband was so famous.

And she's so proper.

You're a famous playboy.

Will she really take the bail?

Shall we bet?

What's the bet?

I bet I can get her into bed.

You're serious?

You'll lose spectacularly.

We'll see who wins and who loses.

Fine. It's a bet.

What are the stakes?

Name it.

The land at the mouth of Soochow Creek.

I want to build a port there.

Okay. And if you lose?

What would you like'?

You.

Okay.

If you win, I'll give myself to you.

Deal.

Why are you avoiding me?

I'm not.

Did someone warn you about me?

I've got quite a reputation in Shanghai.

Mr Xxe, I never pay heed lo gossip.

I believe only what I see.

Try drawing it like this.

These paintings are by a female German artist.

Have a look when you've got time.

Okay. I'd better be off.

Where are my keys?

Give me them.

Don't make a scene. Ah-Wen's right there.

C-m

Hush!

Without a bike, I'll have to walk home.

Give.

Godmother.

Miss Mo.

This is the director of the Hudong Bank.

And this is my drawing teacher, Dai.

Not a teacher, just 2-1 college student.

A college student.

Excuse me.

From which college?

Shanghai Fine Arts.

The light's not working.

Let me have a look.

Beller to call Ah-Gen.

incites my naughty side?

Oh right, did you know'?

This was my late mother's room?

Oh...

I hear she makes frequent visitations.

Grandmother tells me

we've met - at my mother's funeral.

Really'?

I can't see. Lift it higher.

Climb up.

Okay.

Closer.

Not a big problem. The fitting's loose.

Thank you.

If Mama's ghost pays you a visit,

please say hello for me.

I will.

Good job.

Nice shot.

Thank you.

Fan,

rumor has it Playboy's in love with the Angel

and is giving up his life of love-crime.

What progress on the battlefront?

It's like watching a canary

fly into a trap.

It'll be dead for sure.

You're too dangerous.

How is it you can control anyone?

To capture a man's heart,

you have to play games.

I really can'! work you out.

Since being Widowed at 20,

I've lived in a man's world.

A poker face is the key to survival.

Even if under the table my wounded hand bleeds

my face still wears a smile.

Surely when I'm with you,

you needn't work so hard.

You're really good.
