There's one more thing

I must do.

Ninghai Square carried

so much of my mom's effort.

But she died

before she could see it come true.

I have to fulfill her wish

and build Ninghai Square.

[Qi Lan]
Mom,

I will make Ninghai Square

the pride for the whole city.

The project restart has gone
even more smoothly than I expected.

Now,

there's only one thing left.

No rush.

Lately,

Bu Fan and Po have been busy too,

digging around both online and offline

to find out which tattoo artist

designed that purple rose.

I think we'll have an answer soon.

[Po]

- Hello? - You You.

I found the tattoo artist.

I'm bringing him over now.

Great.

That rose was

my proudest work back then.

I remember

the client was a woman.

I think

her name was actually Rose.

Was that her real name or an alias?

Come on.

I'm not the police.

Why would I ask so many questions?

She paid, so I did my job.

Do you remember what she looked like?

Nope.

Try to think harder.

My time is expensive.

Every hour counts.

Actually,

I never forget

my clients.

Back then,

I think that woman said

she had a boyfriend

named You Zhen,

a big shot of Xingyao Group.

Then he got in trouble later.

The news said it was
about embezzlement and harming others.

You can try to find him.

He should know the most.

If you need any tattoos,

come to me.

That one thing he said

reminded me:

For things from the past,

we should ask the people from back then.

Ms. Ruan.

Qi Dong's release is such a big deal,
yet we've been too busy to get together.

Today,

we finally get to celebrate.

Come on.

I didn't know what you liked to eat,
so I just made what You You usually enjoys.

I hope you don't mind.

Eat as much as you want.

Thank you.

Be careful; it's hot.

Mother, I've been busy

with the Ninghai Square project lately

and haven't had time to visit.

How about this?

I'll drink first as a penalty.

Alright, alright.

From what I know,

though An Guoxuan's
embezzled funds were recovered,

Xingyao Group is still deeply in debt

and on the verge of bankruptcy.

The second financing summit ended in disaster,

causing many investors to pull out,

and lose confidence
in Xingyao's construction capability.

The funding gap for this project

is quite large.

This is the proposal I drafted based
on the current status of Ninghai Square.

It incorporates commercial elements

[Proposal]
that are popular with investors.

It might attract some funding

to help ease your urgent needs.

I hope it can be of some help.

Thank you for this.

But there's no need.

I didn't get the chance to tell you
that the funding gap has been filled.

Reviving the project must've been tough.

Actually,

Qi Dong did most of the work.

He made trip after trip to the Housing
and Urban-Rural Development Bureau,

persuading officials

to restore confidence
in Xingyao's capabilities.

With their help, Xingyao was able
to convince multiple investors

to increase their investment.

That's how the funding gap was finally closed.

Actually, Ninghai Square
was already a key government-backed project.

I just took advantage of the momentum.

Most importantly,

the design plan You You presented

was a refined and optimized version

of Ms. Qi's original design.

It received unanimous praise.

That's what truly made the restart possible.

Qi Lan's design concepts
were ahead of their time.

Even today, they are refreshingly innovative.

Stop complimenting each other.

You both deserve credit.

You You, if anything happens in the future,

tell me right away.

Do you hear me?

Thank you, Mother.

Qi Dong,

you're practically my son-in-law now.

Before, I did try to come between you and You You.

But later on,

I saw how good

you were to her.

So let the past

stay in the past.

From now on,

we're a united family.

We'll protect You You together.

Absolutely.

Mother,

you and Qi Dong are the two most important people

in my life.

Thank you.

Silly girl.

There's no need for thanks in this family.

Eat up before it gets cold.

Here.

You'll have to bury what you heard just
now in your stomach.

You can't tell anyone.

Deal.

This soup is delicious.

Oh, right, Mother.

I have one more thing to ask you.

You You.

As it turns out, Ms. Ruan went to university

with your parents.

How come you never mentioned that?

You just found out?

I always thought

Ms. Ruan and your mom were best friends,

and your dad was
the third wheel who barged in.

Don't talk nonsense.

Sorry.

Actually,

Qi Dong isn't entirely wrong.

Her mom and I

were best friends in high school.

We ended up going to the same university,
chose the same major,

and even shared a dorm.

So naturally, we were closer than others.

That's when

we met your dad,

You Zhen.

The three of us were practically inseparable

throughout college.

After graduation,

Qi Lan and You Zhen got married.

I worried that I'd be left out

once they started their little family.

But I was overthinking it.

Even after they got married,

I remained their closest friend.

Before You You was born,
I'd already decided to be her other mother.

The first person to hold you
after you were born wasn't your dad.

It was me.

Mother,

I'm so lucky to have you.

Silly girl, what are you saying?

Oh, what was it you wanted
to ask me just now?

I wanted to know the recipe
for this chicken soup.

Once I learn it,

I want to make it for Qi Dong.

That's easy.

Just visit me earlier next time.

I'll teach you.

Okay.

Just now,

why didn't you want me

to ask Mother about Rose?

Because I suspect

she is Rose.

No way.

Why?

Back then, at An Guoxuan's place,

I only saw him and Gao Qing,

but I also found

a woman's brooch, the exact same one she wore

in this photo.

This brooch is a common design.

It's not custom-made.

It could be a coincidence.

Just now,

you dropped your chopsticks on purpose

to check if she had a tattoo
on her ankle, right?

But she didn't, did she?

Still, we've analyzed this before.

Your dad had always been cautious.

Unless someone close to him betrayed him,

An Guoxuan couldn't have

pinned everything

on him alone.

And Rose has reappeared lately.

She managed to control Gao Shanshan

right under An Guoxuan's nose,

got him to set fire to the evidence,

and even beat us

to the Swiss bank.

Everything that's happened centers around you.

Don't you think there are
too many coincidences?

But

we don't have any solid proof.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

I also hope it has nothing
to do with Ms. Ruan.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure you get answers.

I told you

to stop bothering me.

But I want to bother you.

I came because I have something to tell you.

I'm pregnant.

Aren't you happy about it?

What do you plan to do?

Of course, I'm going to have the baby.

You've always wanted a daughter, right?

I'm planning to name her

You You, too.

That way,

we'll have

our own daughter.

Ruan Bi,

let me tell you this one last time:

It's over between us.

I have a family.

There is no future for you and me.

I only have one daughter,

and that's You You.

Dad, what are you doing?

I'm leaving. Listen.

Don't come looking for me again.

You Zhen! You Zhen!

You Zhen...

You You, I just went
to buy you some ice cream.

But the lady said they were all sold out.

I'm sorry. The baby didn't make it.

[Beloved Daughter: You You]

Good girl.

I'm almost done with the whole plan.

Everyone who hurt us

has now paid the price.

You Zhen has gone mad,

Qi Lan is dead,

and An Guoxuan's life is completely ruined.

Now, it's You You's turn.

[You You]
She took everything from you.

She took your life,

your name,

and your dad's love.

I'm going to make her lose it all

and die in despair.

Bu Fan,

try to get You You's report letter,

and compare the handwriting

with this letter.

Dong,

wasn't it Ruan Bi

who gave the report letter to You You?

Do you suspect...?

Don't worry, Dong.

I'll find the best team right away
to expedite the analysis.

You'll have the results

in 48 hours.

[Qi Dong]

Dong, we've had the handwriting comparison result

of the two letters.

They weren't written by the same person.

If she was careful enough,
she could've erased every trace

in over ten years.

Maybe it's just a mistake.

No.

Ruan Bi is Rose.

Bu Fan,

leave us.

Did you find any evidence?

That night,

I went back to my apartment

and couldn't sleep

after what you said.

The next morning,

I went to my mom's grave.

I wanted to talk to her.

Hello.

What happened here?

A heavy rain last night
washed the cemetery out.

We're repairing it now.

[In loving memory
of my beloved daughter, You You]

[Ultrasound Report]

[Name: Ruan Bi]

The date on that ultrasound report

matched exactly with the time

mentioned in the letter.

I always thought

that headstone

was something Ruan Bi erected for me.

But it turns out

it was to mourn her unborn child.

And

she named her You You, too.

She even buried

that brooch with it.

She must've truly hated my parents.

I gave the manager some money

and had him take care of everything.

So, these days,

you've been

processing all this alone?

Ruan Bi harmed my parents,

yet she treated me so well.

All these years,

I really saw her as my only support.

But only now do I realize

that she's been using me all along.

Five years ago,

you let me fake my death and escape.

It was from that moment

she started using both of us

to reap the benefits.

Qi Dong,

you woke me up

and made me see the truth.

So,

whether Ruan Bi was sincere or not

no longer matters.

She harmed my mom,

conspired with An Guoxuan to frame my dad,

and even k*lled Gao Shanshan.

All of that is fact.

She's done so many cruel things.

I will make her pay.

But

she's hidden too well.

We can't find any evidence

of her past crimes.

So,

I'll have to force her
to make the first move

to expose a flaw.

It seems

you've long had a plan.

Why did you ask me to meet here?

What's wrong?

Mother, did my parents ever mention

someone named Rose

to you?

I've heard of her.

Years ago, I went to visit your dad.

He kept calling out Rose.

Why?

Rose was my dad's mistress.

How can you be so sure?

My dad hid some rose seeds for 15 years.

Inside were letters
between him and that woman.

Impossible.

There has to be some misunderstanding.

I know about the relationship
between You Zhen and Qi Lan.

They were deeply in love.

It would never happen.

If I hadn't seen those letters,

I wouldn't have believed it either.

Mother,

did my mom really never say anything to you?

Your mom might seem gentle,
but she was the last person

who would ever show weakness.

If this really happened,

she would've buried it deep in her heart.

That's your parents' problem.

You shouldn't dwell on it.

Now that your mom is gone,

and your dad's like this,

there's no way to verify it.

Just let it go.

I can't.

Rose

still hasn't stopped.

She not only manipulated Gao Shanshan,
but now she's trying to take

the money that could save Qi Dong.

Actually, I met her twice.

Once at a Swiss bank,

and the other time

right here.

But back then,

I didn't understand what it meant.

Later,

I read their letters and found out

that day, she told my dad

she was pregnant.

But in the end,

she lost.

My dad chose his family.

He chose me.

So, her pregnancy didn't change anything.

She still couldn't win his heart.

That girl who was supposed to be my sister

never came into this world.

I think I should feel sad for her.

But for some reason,

I actually feel she was incredibly lucky.

Because her mother

was a homewrecker

who committed countless crimes.

So, even if she had been born,

she never would've had a happy life

growing up with a mother like that.

Mother,

you once told me

I should always turn to you for my trouble.

So,

please help me find her.

Don't worry.

I'll try every possible means.

Thank you,

Mother.

But right now,

Ninghai Square is about to restart.

It's the legacy of both my parents.

So,

I have to let that mistress see
that whether it's the past

or the present,

she will never get

what she wants.

[Groundbreaking Ceremony]

We're about to begin
the official construction of Ninghai Square.

First, let's welcome
the chief designer of this project,

Miss Qi Gege,

to give a speech.

Hello, everyone.



a woman once stood here

and made a promise to her daughter

that she'd build this place
into a giant music box

that shines and sings

to carry

all the childhood memories
of the kids in Ninghai.

That woman

was Qi Lan,

the former chief designer

of the Ninghai Square project.

I am

her daughter, You You.

The current design

of Ninghai Square was completed based

on my mom's original draft.

Of course,

I will do everything I can

to fulfill the promise she once made.

[Ninghai Square Project
Groundbreaking Ceremony]

[Architectural Structure Chart]

No matter what you have to do,

ruin You You's reputation

and destroy the Ninghai Square project.

Got it.

Run!

Lately,

[News broadcast]
the anticipated Ninghai Square project

[Collapse]
has restarted.

But not long after the groundbreaking,
a collapse occurred,

injuring several workers.

It's been confirmed that the
current chief designer, Qi Gege,

is actually the daughter
of the late former designer Qi Lan.

This current design

was revised by Qi Gege

based on Qi Lan's original plans.

Compensation! Compensation!

[Ninghai Square]
Compensate us!

Everyone, please calm down!

Compensation! Compensation!

Everyone, please be patient!

Compensation!

Compensate us!



there was a collapse at Ninghai Square.

Now, the tragedy has repeated itself.

Do you believe the building plans

are responsible for the incident?

Hello, everyone.

I'm You You, the current
chief designer of Ninghai Square.

Regarding this incident,

please allow me to clarify:

A safety evaluation was conducted

by qualified institutions
for the building plans of Ninghai Square

to ensure the structure's security,

compliance, and stability.

It fully meets

construction safety standards.

The institution must've worked
with you to deceive us!

Compensate us!

Compensation! Compensation!

Alright, alright.

Calm down.

Everyone, please calm down.

Listen to me for a moment.

The investigation

is still ongoing.

Please give us three days.

I promise to give you all the truth.

What truth?

My son was hurt because of you!

How are you going to compensate
for his injuries?

Compensation!

Compensation! Compensation!

We want compensation!

Compensation! Compensation!

Compensation!

If you have a problem, come to me.

We can't work anymore.

We need an explanation now!

Mother.

Ms. Ruan,

we heard you were close friends
with the late chief designer Qi Lan.

Do you believe

her design had flaws?

Qi Lan was indeed my closest friend.

Her death

caused me great pain.

But I can vouch for her with my integrity.

She was absolutely not the irresponsible designer
you're all accusing her of being.

You You, as her daughter,

is even better than her.

I have complete confidence in her abilities.

As for the true cause of the accident,
if it turns out to be our fault,

we will take full responsibility.

I'm here on You You's behalf
to make a promise to every victim:

Every victim

will receive the highest standard
of compensation and treatment.

So, please rest assured.

But according to what we've heard,
after the accident,

many investors pulled out.

The project is now facing bankruptcy.

Where will you get the money
to fulfill this so-called promise?

How can you compensate us without the money?

Exactly!

Compensation! Compensation!

Compensation!

I'll repeat again

that Ninghai Square will not be shut down.

The funding gap

will be covered by Bihai Group.

I'll also try to raise capital
to keep the project moving.

As for the design issues
you're all worried about,

please rest assured.

I'll draw up a new plan myself.

Please believe me.

The same tragedy won't happen again.

Mother.

It must be that woman behind this.

It has to be her.

Except for her, I can't think of anyone else.

Calm down.

Now, we need to figure out exactly
what she tampered with in our project

before we can expose her.

Leave it to me.

No.

You You is at her most fragile now.

She needs you more than ever.

Being there for her is more important.

Don't worry.

I will find the truth.

Wait for my word.

What we need to do now

is minimize the negative impact

of the project.

This is your mom's life's work.

It can't be ruined again.

But so many investors have withdrawn,
and over half the funding is gone.

It won't be easy to cover the gap.

What I said to the press earlier
wasn't just for show.

I will invest in the project.

And I'll leverage every resource I have

to find new funding for this project.

I will not let this project

repeat the same fate as before.

Mother,

I'm sorry.

I dragged you into this again.

Why do I always make you worry about me?

Don't say that.

You're my daughter.

Your problems are my problems.

Are you feeling better?

Much better.

But thinking about Ruan Bi's

fake concern for me

makes me sick.

Don't worry.

Her act

won't last much longer.

Today, she offered to invest
in the Ninghai Square project because she wants

to take advantage of the collapse

to become the biggest shareholder.

Then let her have her way

and have her join the project.

After your provocation,

she's already exposed herself.

The collapse she caused out of anger

was full of flaws.

Bu Fan is monitoring her 24/7.

I believe it won't be long
before we find out who tampered with the site.

If we follow the trail,
we'll definitely uncover

the evidence of her crimes.

And in the end, we'll kick her out for good.

Once Ruan Bi is brought to justice, that money

will stay in the project.

In a way, we'll use her

to complete the Ninghai Square project.

Dong, we got it.

The secret camera I installed

caught the whole thing.

Unexpectedly,

it was someone we knew.

Who?

Are you satisfied?

Yes.

No matter what you have to do,
destroy the Ninghai Square project.

Got it.

Everything you've done so far pleases me.

You've been hiding
beside An Guoxuan for years,

yet he's never suspected you

of working for me even now.

I've always had a question:

Why didn't you just have Barbie

expose You You's identity?

Your best quality

is your simplicity.

If we'd exposed You You that early,
what fun would be left for me?

I enjoy watching them

tear each other apart.

So, what's next?

For now, go to Haizhou and lay low for a while.

What about you?

The collapse

was only the opening act.

The real show

hasn't even begun.

Right now, Zhao Ke

is the key to everything.

We must find him.

Understood.

You're awake.

Bu Fan

has found Zhao Ke's flight info.

He took an early flight

to Haizhou today.

He won't get away.

Let's head for Haizhou now.

No.

I have to stay here.

Why?

If I leave now,

it'll alert Ruan Bi,

and she'll get suspicious.

So, I have to stay here

to lower her guard.

But I don't want to leave you here alone.

I've been thinking:

Ruan Bi had so many chances to k*ll me.

Why has she kept me

by her side?

I think

it's because she hates me.

She hates me for taking everything
from her daughter.

So,

she wants to destroy me slowly.

There are countless hidden moves

and unexpected twists.

She's so focused on ruining me

that she doesn't realize

you're already behind her,

ready to pull the rug out from under her.

But I still don't want you
to take this risk.

Losing you

is a price I can't afford.

Qi Dong,

I know

I mean a lot to you.

You mean just as much to me.

This trip to Haizhou

will be full of danger too.

But I believe

you'll keep yourself safe.

So,

I hope

you'll believe me too.

This is the boat, right?

Yes.
