01x17 - When hatred runs too deep, love can no longer be born

[bunniefuu]

[Adapted from the novel
"Counterattack" by Chai Ji Dan]

[Episode 17]

[If the Hate is Too Deep,
There Can Be No More Love]

Green-Eyed Monster...

is not here.

Don't catch a cold.

Change out of your wet clothes.

You...

What's wrong?

Forget it.

Come in.

Let's go.

Mrs. Wu, you don't want
to be hospitalized again.

I'm fine now.

- Earlier, I just...
- Lie down first.

got confused because of the pain.

Why don't we tell him?

You can't keep doing this.

Xiao Chi.

We can't.

If I die one day,

Da Qiong will only be sad
for a few days.

If you tell him now,

he'll have to endure it
until the day I die.

I don't want that.

Mrs. Wu.

Don't say that.

How about this?

Stay under observation
for another night.

If you're fine tomorrow,

I'll drive you home in the morning.

Okay.

Get some rest first.
I'll make a call.

Thank you.

- No worries, Mrs. Wu.
- Thank you.

Are you home?

Are you about to sleep?

Okay.

I have something to do tonight.

I can't go home.

By the way,

since I'm not around,

cover yourself well
with the blanket.

Good night.

Why don't you go
to Wang Shuo's room...

and get some rest?

I don't think so.

If Wang Shuo comes home...

and finds me in his bed,

he won't be happy.

Wang Shuo won't come home.

People who stay out in the rain...

won't come home
just because the rain stopped.

Right.

I shouldn't have worried about that.

Wei Wei.

I'm home.

Where is he?

Where did you go last night?

I'm asking you
where you went last night!

Wang Shuo's house.

Was it Wang Shuo...

or Wang Zhan?

- What do you think?
- Wu Suo Wei.

Search for your conscience
and ask yourself.

How many times
have I put up with this?

You messaged him
and I turned a blind eye to it.

You said you were boxing,
but I saw you having fun.

Now, you even have the guts
to sleep over at his place.

Does my tolerance
mean nothing to you?

Do you think
I'm keeping you as a toy?

Do you have nothing to say now?

Since you like having fun so much,

I won't care about you anymore.

Leave!

Why are you here?

Chi Cheng kicked me out...

of the house.

He favors you so much.
How could he kick you out?

What?

Did Wang Shuo
become his partner again?

If you ran away from home,

you could've just walked
to the front door.

Why did you come to me?

Da Wei.

Did you really get kicked out?

Doesn't it prove
that Chi Cheng cares about you?

Last night,
he didn't come home all night.

He must have been out
with Wang Shuo all night.

He even got mad at me.

It must be
because he's feeling guilty.

You're right.

He has long wanted to kick me out,

so that Wang Shuo
could move back in.

No, wait.

You said Wang Shuo was out
with Chi Cheng all night?

Yes.

He wouldn't even give a reason.

I asked him where he was going
and he said he had something to do.

Wang Shuo was with me yesterday.

Why did he go to see you?

He came in the middle of the night.

I couldn't send away
a mentally ill person.

Then where did Chi Cheng go?

I have no right...

to care about that now.

He once said...

that when he
doesn't like me anymore,

he'd kick me out immediately.

I didn't expect this day
to come so soon.

I was planning to use Wang Zhen...

to make Chi Cheng jealous.

This turned out to be an excuse
for him to kick me out.

Where are you going to stay
for the next few days then?

Why don't you stay at my place?

I want to go home.

I miss my mom.

Mom.

I'm home.

Mom.

My dear son.

How did you find the time
to come home today?

Mom.

Mom, why do I feel like...

you've lost weight again?

At my age,

this is how my illness is.

Mom.

With diabetes,
you must watch your diet.

But you need nutrition too.

Nutrition?

At my age, we just need to be full.

Mom.

The older we get,
the more healthy food we need.

It's okay. I'll cook today.

I'll make you good food.

- Wait for me.
- Okay.

Wait for me.

Mom.

Who sent these?

Xiao Chi.

He comes here very often.

Lately, he comes here every day.

He likes my cooking.

Every time, he eats here
before going home.

Look, the ingredients...

doesn't really taste good.

I'm so not used to its taste.

If he didn't give it
to me out of kindness,

I would have thrown it away.

Mom.

You can't throw it away.
It's a valuable tonic.

Da Qiong.

Having Xiao Chi as a friend...

is really...

your blessing.

It's really...

better than getting a good wife.

It's because of him...

that I don't have a wife.

He's the one who's useful.

Is there no signal?

Why didn't he message me?

Mom.

Mom.

What's wrong, Mom?

I'm fine. Get me some water.

Okay.

Mom, have some water.

Mom.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I'm so happy that you're home.

Maybe I ate too much tonight,
so I'm suffering from indigestion.

Mom, you scared me.

I thought you were sick.

- I'm fine.
- Mom.

Let me help you to bed.

Okay.

Da Qiong.

- Lie beside me too.
- Okay.

Chat with me.

Two days ago,

I dreamed of your dad.

In my dream,

he was in the yard,

picking loquats.

He's still as healthy as ever.

Just like when he was young.

Mom.

I miss Dad too.

I really want...

to see your dad soon.

Mom.

Don't say that.

You can't curse yourself.

I'm alone in the yard every day.

It's so boring.

There's no one to talk to.

Mom.

What if...

I get a loan to buy a house?

You can move in with me.

That way, I can keep you company.

It's just that
I have to work every day.

This house is too far from work.

It's too troublesome to come and go.

Silly boy.

You've only earned some money,

but you're already showing off.

Save it.

Buy a house when you have the money.

However, even if you buy a house,

I won't live there.

I can't bear to part
with this place.

I can't bear to part with your dad.

I've been living here
for over 40 years.

I want to die here.

Now, I am...

just hoping...

you'd get me a daughter-in-law soon.

Give me a grandson
or a granddaughter.

Yes.

Mom.

We'll have a big, fat baby...

who's soft to hug.

When he grows up,

he'll run...

around you...

and call you,

"Grandma."

Yes.

I'm waiting for that.

You're back.

So...

did you miss me?

No.

I almost forgot what you look like.

You didn't miss me?

Didn't we just have
a video call two days ago?

Do you want me
to help you remember...

how it was back then?

Shut up.

There's something
I want to tell you.

What is it?

Seven years ago,

before Wang Shuo went abroad,

he had to go to the hospital
almost every few days.

How did you get...

these medical records?

Don't care about that.

Let me ask you.

Did you know that he's sick?

No.

It's such a big deal.

How could you not know?

Back then,

I just remembered
they'd always fight and make up.

Every time they fought,

Chi Cheng would come over
for a drink.

When I asked him,
he wouldn't tell me anything.

Who knows
what was going on back then?

You're so calculating.

Why didn't you use that?

I became calculating...

because I've been fighting
with Chi Cheng all these years.

Wang Shuo is really something.

Once he left,
you and Chi Cheng matured.

Yes.

I have to ask Wang Shuo...

what happened back then.

I wanted to ask him last time,
but I had to go on a business trip.

I have to ask him clearly this time.

Why are you asking Wang Shuo?

Weren't you involved?

I...

I…

I drank too much that day.
I was so drunk.

When I woke up the next morning,

Wang Shuo was lying next to me.

I was freaking dumbfounded.

I called Chi Cheng.

He was angry, so he didn't pick up.

A few days later,

Wang Shuo left.

Even if I wanted to confront him,

I couldn't find him.

You...

You don't think
that I don't go to Wang Shuo...

because I like Chi Cheng, right?

Do you have a heart at all?

In that video call two days ago,
you even...

I'm sorry.

Young Master Guo.
Please, Young Master Guo.

Go use your calculative mind...

to the fullest.

I've been waiting too long...

for this case to be closed.

Fine.

I'll close the case for you now.

All right?

You and Wu Suo Wei haven't seen
each other for a week or two, right?

He spent the night with someone.

I'm just ignoring him
for a few days.

It's not too much.

You didn't teach him a lesson?

If I didn't kick him out,

he'd be lying in the hospital.

He's getting bolder.

You need to discipline him.

He doesn't have the guts.

He just wants to infuriate me.

This place...

is not far from Wu Suo Wei's
family house, right?

Why don't we pick him up
along the way?

Forget it.

I didn't dare
to let him go home before.

Now that he's home,

let him spend time with his mom.

No, wait.

Why didn't you dare
to let him go home?

Why are you here?

Explain this to me.

What's going on?

I'm sick.

I woke up late today
and didn't take my medicine.

I might have an episode
and bite you to death.

That's enough.

Stop pretending in front of me.

I've shown you enough respect.

You've slandered me
for seven years...

and I didn't say anything.

Stop this.

Why are you so irresponsible?

You're bullying me
because I'm not a woman.

You slept with me,

yet I can't bring a kid
to prove it to you?

That medicine is fake, right?

Stop taking it.

It's messing with your brain.

Since you think
we didn't sleep together back then,

why did you let me
frame you for seven years?

This is called...

going with the flow.

If you didn't leave,

why would Chi Cheng and I...

stay connected
even after seven years?

There's an idiom that goes...

"Love breeds hatred".

I want to try
the other way around...

to see if hate...

can breed love.

You...

You really have a thing
for Chi Cheng.

If I hadn't set you up
to sleep with me back then,

the one who slept with you
would've been Chi Cheng.

So you admit it.

That you set me up.

Darn it.

I let you trick me again.

But I'm curious.

What makes you think
I have a thing...

for Chi Cheng?

He was in bed with me,

yet he was calling your name.

That night,
he kept calling "Cheng Yu".

I wanted to put you...

in a pan...

and fry you.

Are you crazy?

He was freaking drunk back then.

Do you believe...

someone's nonsense when drunk?

Even when he wasn't drunk,
all he could see was you.

That's nonsense.

Because of this ridiculous idea,

you set me up and framed me.

And you've implicated yourself,

yet you don't want
to clean your name.

Is it worth it?

You won't understand.

It's very worth it.

Wei Wei.

Why are you here?

I brought Green-Eyed Monster back
to see his dad.

So this is your love nest.

[Always happy with you
all four seasons]

You don't smile much
when you take photos nowadays.

I've never smiled much.

I remember in our past videos,

you were smiling
in every single one.

By the way,

a few days ago,
Wu Suo Wei went to my house.

He's a nosy guy.

He touched my computer.

I think...

he saw those videos.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Wang Shuo.

What exactly do you want?

To have fun.

Seeing you two fight makes me happy.

Darn you!

Go on.

Don't think there are still
feelings in our relationship...

by how much I hurt you.

Let me tell you.

I only harbor respect for you now...

in waiting for you for six years.

Listen carefully.

I said six years,

not seven.

Since last year,

this...

doesn't belong to you anymore.

Do you really
only have respect for me?

How many six years
does one have in a lifetime?

Including the three years
we were together,

that's 10 years, Chi Cheng.

Let me ask you, Chi Cheng.

Can you remove...

these 10 years...

from your heart completely?

And how many memories do we have...

in that house in the suburbs?

You lived there for so many years.

To keep our snakes,

you endured the heat of
over 30 degrees Celsius every day.

Can you forget that kind of memory?

I can't.

But it's just a scar.

I can see it,

which can remind me of the past.

But it's just a scar
that remains on my body.

It won't hurt anymore.

They say love breeds hate.

But if the hate is too deep,

there can be no more love.

I'm going to bed.

Let yourself out.

I have one last favor
to ask of you then.

Tell me.

Right now,

in front of me,

say you don't love me anymore.

Will you only understand
if I say that out loud?

I want you to say it yourself.

Once you say it,

I won't pester you anymore.

Say this.

"I, Chi Cheng,"

"don't love you anymore,"

"Wang Shuo."

I...

I've been waiting for you.

I've been busy with work
in the past few days.

I'm staying here
for a couple of days.

Why don't you stay at Chi Cheng's?

You haven't made up yet?

Milk Tea.

It's been days.

He hasn't sent me a single message.

Who knows where he is?

He must be hanging out
with Wang Shuo...

and forgot about me.

If he comes to you,

will you go home with him?

Even if he kneels here
and kowtows to me twice,

I won't forgive him.

You have to remember...

what you said today.

Regarding Wang Shuo,

I asked Cheng Yu for information
a couple of days ago.

What did he say?

Wang Shuo admitted
that he set this up.

He and Cheng Yu...

didn't sleep together at all.

What?

He's sick.

He is indeed.

Wait. People who are sick
in the head don't act like this.

I suspect he had an ulterior motive.

I'm going to find out...

and let Chi Cheng know.

But we only have
Guo Cheng Yu as the witness.

If Chi Cheng believed him,

he would have a long time ago.

We need more evidence.

Wang Shuo left so many videos
of the three of them.

He must have other evidence.

I'm sure I can find it.

Forget it. Have some milk tea.

Tell me.

Wang Shuo has been back
for half a year.

What has he been doing?

Did he just watch you
and Chi Cheng being all lovey-dovey?

I don't believe he'd do that.

He must be a masochist to like...

seeing the person he loves
with his love rival.

He must have been
secretly scheming...

to get Chi Cheng back.

Then the love rival
he should investigate the most...

is you.

Speaking of which,

he seemed very interested
in my name.

He asked me a few times
why this is my name.

- Your name?
- Yes.

- "Wu Suo Wei"?
- Yes.

- Does he know why I changed it?
- Does he know why you changed it?

That means...

he knows about Yue Yue and me.

Since he knows about it,

why didn't he expose you?

I'm sure
it's not the right time yet.

Da Wei,

will you just go along
with his plan?

At this point,

I have no choice but to do that.

Besides, no one knows...

how things will turn out.

Have a seat first.

When Mr. Wu is done,
I'll go get him.

Mr. Wu is here.

Mr. Wu.

This is Ms. Yue.

Her company is undergoing renovation
at its new address.

She's here to pick some ready-made
installations and decorations.

Okay.

It's been a while.

Yes, it's been a while.

You know each other, Mr. Wu?

Yes.

I changed jobs.

I'm the CEO's secretary.

The company entrusted me
with the renovation.

Since your company
is in this business,

I came to take a look...

and visit you as well.

Have a seat.

Your timing is perfect.

How have you been?

I'm good.

What about you?

Me?

How should I put it?

I'm okay.

Xiao Lin.

Bring our company's
product brochure...

and let Ms. Yue take a look.

All right. Wait a moment.

"Ms. Yue"?

I'm not quite used...

to hearing that from you.

After all, we were close.

You deserve to be addressed
with respect.

They're all here.

Take a look first.

These are the decorations.

Take your pick.

Tell Xiao Lin if you like anything.

Take it as a gift from me.

I can't accept that.

There's nothing
to be embarrassed about.

Well,

are you still with him?

Ms. Yue.

That's my personal matter.

Don't ask about it.

Xiao Lin.

- I'll go first.
- Okay.

- This is my...
- Mr. Lin.

If I need anything,
I'll make an order based on this.

- I'll get going.
- The brochure.

Your bag. You forgot your bag too.

- Thank you.
- Take care.

Wu Qi Qiong.

I didn't expect you
to be so heartless.

Ms. Yue.

We already have nothing
to do with each other anymore.

Is there anything else
you need, Ms. Yue?

If there's nothing else,

please leave.

I'll get going then.
I'll visit you again next time.

This way, please.

Why is she here again?

Her new company's renovating.

She's here to pick out decorations.

Doesn't she know our relationship?

She's purchasing things from you?

Wang Shuo knows about us too.

He comes here to purchase stuff too.

If a love rival makes a purchase,
it's always on the house.

I think she knows about this...

and came to get free stuff.

You're so generous.

Yes.

I'm generous,
unlike some petty people.

When they're angry,
they don't get in touch for days...

and vehemently criticize
the moment we meet.

They even complain
that I'm generous to my love rivals.

No wonder I've been sneezing
in the past few days.

So you've been scolding me
behind my back.

Could you hear me scolding you
behind your back?

You've probably been fooling around
in the past few days...

that you have forgotten about me.

Who did I fool around with?

Be honest.

Did you miss me in the past 10 days?

No.

I think Guo Cheng Yu
didn't miss you either.

You're so stubborn.

Do you want to die?

Do you have a death wish?

I'll deal with you when we get home.

A few days ago,

I went to see my mom.

She looked so haggard.

Maybe...

she has...

been tired lately.

Thank you.

You're always there
to keep her company...

and even eat with her.

Now, you know you should thank me.

Where was it when you were
being dramatic the other day?

My mom...

is prone to miscarriages.

When she was pregnant with me,

she already had two miscarriages.

When she had me, she was already 38.

Many of her friends' kids...

bought houses for their moms.

Some of their grandkids...

are already in kindergarten.

I'm just starting my career now.

Sometimes, I really feel
like I don't have enough time.

Now, the company's business...

is on track.

Don't worry.

I can still handle
the company's matters well.

You...

should go home more often
and spend more time with your mom.

You've always been...

so tolerant of me.

What's the matter?

Do you want me...

to be petty with you?

Say what you want to say.

After I finish this cigarette,

you won't get the chance to do so.
