Chapter 13
Happy New Year!!! Happy New Year!!!
Very good!
Eat, please help yourself
Shan Shan, what do you want to eat?
It's ok grandpa, I can help myself
Shan Shan, this is for you
Shan Shan, I heard when you were returning home, you ran into trouble
You live in ShangHai
Living in Shanghai, you're still not that clever (streetwise)
Yes, yes, I've also scolded her about it
Shan Shan
How much bonus do you get this year?
Hmmm
not much
Because by the end of the year, my position was low, so I had a lesser share
But at year end, Big Boss secured a big project
I've heard other's say that next year, each person will receive
At lease 4 months of salary for our year-end-bonus
The very capable Big Boss eh?
Wow, that buying (bribing) people -eat, eat
Our ShanShan is so smart.
so capable
Just after graduate, she can make a lot of money.
Not really grandpa
Yeah, she's just lucky, to get into such a big company like Feng Teng Corporation
This is the case of dumb people, having dumb luck
Shan Shan
Are you familiar with the life in Shanghai?
I'm getting use it it
I'm living with ShuangYi.
ShuangYi house is so small.
The two of us, the house is stuffed to the brim (so cramped for space)
So I'm thinking of moving. After the New Year, I was thinking of moving out
Moving out!
Why moving out, you girls relationship are so close, living together, you can look after one another
Dont' move, don't move...
our Liu Liu, she's getting married
Liu Liu
Marriage?
Let me tell you...You Cheng Hao parent's bought a block of villas
They're giving the newly weds a new house
The villa's have over one hundred and fifty square meters of space
There's also security guards for security.
It has a swimming pool and a gym
I've also heard, on the premises it's planted with rows of maple trees
In winter, it feels as if you are abroad, ayo
What until our Liu Liu marries over
We will let you live there for a bit so you can play and meet various aspect of society
Shan Shan
How about you, do you have a boyfriend?
Our Shan Shan is still too young. It's too fast to think about this stuff.
yes yes
Second Uncle, do you know how girls become spinsters?
It's because they always think they are young, it's not important
So they drag and drag, and left behind being spinsters.
Ayo, your Shan Shan, unlike our Liu Liu
Every since she was young, she's so admired (cachet)
So many pursuers, in the end a bunch of guys pursued her together
Your Shan Shan's biggest down fall is what...?
Let me tell you...she's immature
Shan Shan has only just gone out to the community
She need to put work first, concentrate on her career, then we'll talk about it...
As for finding a boyfriend, not interested, not interested
My career first
When my career's more stable, we'll talk then
Cousin, why don't you call You Cheng Hao to find you a boyfriend?
You little hairy child, your here to find out what?
This is my mum's house and you still say that, if you really can't marry out...
Or if married, you have a bad marriage
Then you'd think originally, you should have asked You Cheng Hao for a referral, let see what you'd do then
Come, everyone, let's eat, come, eat...
Auntie Fang, I was hoping you'd manage to come
Mum, sit here
Come, come
please sit
Li Shu, how is Auntie Fang
My mum says she has a cold
but she won't go to the hospital
How about I cook some ginger soup for you, so you can warm up
No need, no need -Go then
I'll go then
So troublesome
Auntie Fang
You're so thin
You...just as handsome
I want to ask you, the person who drove us here, Zheng Qi
Is he your old school mate?
Yes, he's my old University buddy, he's also my company's Creative Director
Creative Director, he must be excellent (cachet) then
Yes, he is excellent/cachet
He and Li Shu also known each other since University years
Really...
So he and Li Shu are good together?
Aunties Fang, why would you say that?
The other night, when he sent Li Shu home
I can see that they were quite close
If it's like what you said, then it's a good thing
Because Zheng Qi is my best friend, if it wasn't for what he's said over the years,
I couldn't have thought of an even better result than this. As a person, he puts other's first, sincere and good
Especially to the right girl
he's very careful (pay special attention) hey...hey
How come you're talking about me?
Feng Teng
You and Li Shu grew up together
I believe you will protect her
The people you trust
I also trust your judgement
I can rest assured
So, I will leave it in your capable hands
Mum, what are you guys talking about?
I'm talking about the e-mail we received from America
We're discussing it
Aya, you have business to attend to, quickly go, don't need to accompany me
Ok Auntie Fang
Let's go
Mum
Mum, why do you always have to say these things to Feng Teng
Now I've become the topic of discussion
Mother is getting old
I have everything I need
The only thing I cannot rest assured is just you
Ayo, I am fine, you don't need to worry about me
Cough, cough... See, see...
your health is getting worst, I'm telling you, after the New Year period, I'm taking you to the hospital, we can't keep dragging
Li Shu
You can't always remember and just worry about Feng Teng
In this world, there are so many other better men
Even if he is a forest, you can't let go of a lot of trees just because he is a forest
Ayo, don't think I didn't know you came to talk about these things again
Don't think I don't understand what you're implying
Give up and find a real boyfriend, but when it comes to relationships, if you don't like someone, you just don't
I can't help being reluctant
If your heart is not open, of course you'll be reluctant
Actually, I feel this Zheing Qi is quite good
Oh you didn't...
Don't talk nonsense in front of people
Zheng Qi and I are only good friends
Oh, now you've made it awkward between us
Let me tell you, mother only wish you can leave this old house -ok, ok, ok...
Marry a good person, and be done with it -Come you'd better drink your ginger soup
Quick, quick Almost dinner, I got to go help
Aya, this naught girl
What's happening with the American side?
Why did you threw me in?
What's the problem then?
Are you talking about Li Shu
In front of Auntie Fang, you complimented me, what's the meaning in that?
Just respecting my elders and casually talked about it
Right...
Auntie Fang indeed needs a son-in-law
But she needs you, not me
Auntie Fang knows clearly what type of feelings I have towards Li Shu
I just talked about my good friend, so she can know him a little better
Make a referral
Don't follow on my case
Li Shu and I aren't that close
Don't need you to put me forward
If Li Shu finds out, do you think she'd be upset?
You can persuade her, can't you?
Me persuade her?
If you tell me I'm wrong, then from now on, I won't bring it up again
Look at you
If you can't persuade her, how do you think I can
Ayo
Sigh...
It looks like the American side has no problems
Big problems
haha
Stop playing, tell me
you were intending to break up, why are you now getting married
It's actually You Cheng Hao's father and my mum's idea
So you've agreed to it
I said I didn't want to marry
My mum said I'm unfilial
But then, I thought about it
I was adopted by my Mother
ever since, she has been very good to me
She sent me to a prestigious University so I graduated with a good degree
It wasn't an easy thing to do.
Liu Liu
You shouldn't think of this situation as being repayment for adoption
When did you become so absurdly old-fashioned.
This...
What about You Cheng Hao, how does he feel about all this?
He has several girlfriends outside, of course he wants to play
But then
His father has made it clear
Said if he doesn't marry me
He'll put a stop to his credit cards.
So that's why in the end, he agreed
this won't do...
I still think I need to talk with Elder Aunt and make this thing clear
What are you laughing at?
Don't worry la
You Cheng Hao and I have spoken about this
First let the parents feel the year steadily passes.
By then end of the year, we'll just dodge the issue
Dodge!
Not like you don't know Elder Aunt's personality, she's very anxious
How can you dodge?
If I can't dodge my mum
You Cheng Hao, doesn't wanting to marry me, let it be
Let me tell you
This type of man, who want to leave you
He can engineer an absolute reason to leave. Unlike when he's chasing you, with so many nonsense and lies
Is it so?
So you decided to waste your time on someone who doesn't want to marry you
What else can I do?
First we break up. Make sure we don't get back here yet again
That's why I like delay tactics
Let my mother think that she's calculated a sure win on her abacus
Right now, I don't want to think anymore
It's just too tiring
Instead I'll concentrate on work
invest in my career
Eh Shan Shan, are they presents inside, can we open it
Now that we are all here
Let's open the box then
Radishes!
Ayo, such delicious radishes
that Shan Shan from such distance, on an aeroplane to bring them back
These...these are home grown radishes, especially delicious
My Dad dreams about eating such radishes, right Dad?
Yes, yes... Winter grown radishes are especially sweet
Great stuff
Big Boss, what exactly are you trying to do?
You trapped me into picking all these radishes, this is how you reward me
So specially let me carry them back
Or...say... radishes to the both of us, has a monumental significance...
so that kiss absolutely doesn't matter
Shan Shan, what exactly is in this other box?
Can't be just radishes as well
Sister cousin, did you rob a bank?
I thought you bought me some White Rabbit Creamy Candy
Err, is the i-pad for me?
Yes, this is for you, do you like it?
Thank you sister cousin
Grand pa, this is, this...
this... this is Ginseng, it's for you
it's for me... ayo
Our Shan Shan is earning the big bucks...
Not really...
Dad, these tea leaves are for you
great, great, great
You love drinking tea
it's from Taiwan, great, great, great
Mum, this bird's nests are for you
Great, great
Shan Shan, anything for your Elder Auntie?
Ayo
But Shan Shan, you shouldn't have bought so many stuff
they all look expensive
You only just made a little money, why spend it all
That, it's not a problem, because I have a colleague
He...he did all this
Shan Shan, saving money is not the be-all end-all
Will it hurt your eyes
These health products are incredible
but if we consume them, and something is wrong, it'll outweigh the benefits
It won't be like that Elder Auntie
My colleague also eats it and he's healthy,
it's because our relationship is good, so he sold it a bit cheaper to me
Otherwise it'll be expensive
Ayo, Shan Shan, not a waste you work in finance...
Being so calculative
Unlike my Liu Liu, who gives me all her salary to look after for her
How much money she has, she doesn't even know. Just like a silly girl.
Look like I have to discuss and report to Shang Yi and Lui Lui
3rd day of Lunar New Year, Shang Yi would have returned from Hong Kong
What do you mean by "let's try"
Just, let's try...
Let's try what...? What do you see yourself as?
On-line shopping merchandise
One week's trial period, plus one month's warranty period
Outside your shopfront, take a small plate with lots of small pieces of bread and say...
Hey, take a look, have a taste if you want to buy... buy...if you don't want to buy... don't buy
What's the meaning of this, so casual
I also felt, to begin with, he says let's try
it means he's for real
But if he had said we'll be together forever...
or how deeply he loves me. On the contrary, I would have felt he's being casual.
Besides, Feng Teng is not that type of person, I believe him
Did I hear right... Feng Teng?
so intimate now?
Hey, the other day, didn't you stay one night with him in his family home...?
What nonsense are you talking about!?
When I lived at his house, the rooms were extremely big
There is so many rooms in the house, inside you can ride a bike
We didn't do anything. Don't have blind thoughts, not allowed blind thoughts -You make sure of it
Say, Feng Teng really understands Shan Shan?
If he hadn't said it that way, Shan Shan would have ran off scared.
But I feel that this man really does like you.
He's probably certain at this point.
This is just how I see it
It really depends on how you feel about it .
How I really feel about it...
Just like...
I've become a fiction novel's main character...
Like Cinderella, meeting his prince
Ayo, I feel like everything is so unreal, like a dream
Beautiful, you must have felt pleasantly surprised.
But...I also feel that...
At any time, he will run away, kind of feeling.
Would you think he's cheating your feelings
Feng Teng is not that kind of person
I just feel that...
Happiness has finally come, just like a dream, so good, it seems unreal.
That's right, everyone's Feng Teng Corporation's Big Boss
Let me tell you
let's try then try... if he's trying, then you should try too
But if while trying, you find out he's in fact a great man
You cannot let it go
Let me teach you... You let me have a go first, then we talk.
What? You have a go first, eat your apple!
My words are not too rough
I think the best way to know, if he is the best of the best man
You cannot let it go to someone else
You have me the love guru
Love expert to advise you. You have nothing to worry about
That right
Can you not say anything to Du Fan, because we are colleagues
I don't want everyone in the company to know
Is that alright...Expert?
Expert feels that...over the trial period, says it's ok
Shuang Yi
You've help me with such a big problem, here's my payment
It's not enough
three of them
Although the "let's try" argument doesn't seem like he is sincere.
But my mother has said before...
How you see a man, it's not what he says to you.
But see what he actually does for you.
I think, let this be the decider.
Hello... Feng Teng, Happy New Year
Are you having a happy new year?
How is it at home?
Pretty good
I caught up with some old school friends
Pretty good...
then, why haven't you called me?
I'm only joking with you.
by the way, did your family like the presents?
They like, they like them very much
especially my cousin Tong Tong. He's crazy about it
In future, don't spend so much money, it's so expensive
You have to repay me
Repay you, what repayment
How much money do I owe you?
So much... that in this lifetime, you won't be able to repay the debt
Then, I'll work for you as repayment, is that ok?
Aright,
we’ll meet at the airport on the 7th day of the Lunar New Year. You can’t be late
otherwise... I’ll reduce your year end bonus
Ok...hehe
Feng Teng
On your end... is it snowing?
Yes
Snow is falling everywhere
Some people will feel sad looking at them
but some will feel blissful
Like us, while chatting on the phone, we can look at the snowfall
It is like we are holding an umbrella together
under the umbrella
it's just the two of us
so we are blissful
right?
Master
Shan Shan, I'll call you later
Okay, you go to do your stuff first.
Master, this morning Auntie Fang suddenly collapsed
An Ambulance took her to the Hospital. According to Miss Yue
There wasn't enough time to go to the hospital... She passed away
Oh mum, your cooking is too delicious
It's been such a long time since I've eaten your food
Then eat more -Mmmm
Shan Shan... -Huh...?
This morning, the man you were talking to on the phone, who was he?
My father couldn't have heard any sound, so how can he tell it's a man?
That...He's a colleague I work with in the company
He called to wish me a Happy New Year,
then we discussed some work stuff
Don't you young people now-a-days prefer to send SMS
to use a phone to call and wish you a Happy New Year
that's very considerate
You have a good friendship with him?
So who is this male colleague called?
If I tell them it's Big Boss who called to wish me a Happy New Year
They'd probably think I've gone crazy, or maybe they've gone crazy
I can see, the gifts you brought back...
the person must have spent a lot of money
Father!!! How can you even know this?
Alright, alright, I admit, the tea leaves were a gift from him
But the rest of the presents, I bought them myself at wholesale price
Shan Shan
In befriending someone, the most important thing, is their character.
Someone who's truly good to you, is very important
What gifts...What ah ah ah...
doesn't matter, it's not important
Dad, I've already said
These gifts, I bought them myself
What... "spent a lot of money"?
Alright, alright
How can our daughter be fascinated by those gifts, am I right?
Shan Shan, your father is only worried about you
After all, living in a big city like Shanghai cannot be easy
Although girls have to find their mates/partner
if the criteria is not too bad
But those who deliberately get close to people who have money
Probably won't have a good ending
Feng...
Feng... Teng... Corporation is a company that fosters talent.
I've only just passed my probation period and become a full-time employee.
How can I think of that, right now I just need to work hard
Stop guessing
We're not trying to guess
We're just reminding you
After all, a good match of the same category, you won't go wrong
If the family's background is too good (rich), what use is it
Look at that Liu Liu, in front of You Chang Hao, will always be shorter than him in length (never match up)
Why don't you talk with your sister-in-law
This marriage, she should reconsider
If I'd said that...
Sister-in-law will think that I don't want Liu Liu to do well
What I think, Shan Shan
If you really have to bring back, like Liu Liu,
a boyfriend who is rich
Father and Mother, won't be able to be happy
So don't put pressure on yourself.
Understand
I know
Looks like at this moment
I'd better not tell my parents about Feng Teng and I
I really like Feng Teng being a normal person
It makes things so much more easier
Normal person or not
When you're in it, you don't actually know how great you have it
It's like the hill looking at the tall mountain. (Means: The grass is always greener on the other side)
Like you, I'm worried about how my family will see Du Fan as an ideal son-in-law (of high social or official position)
Your Father and Mother already know?
During the New Years eve dinner, they interigate it out of me
You don't know...
When my parents heard about Du Fan's career, with no prospect, they picked it to pieces.
They don't consider that a girl, who every day stays at home
if lucky, each month sees half a man let alone a man, it's not that easy
You say...Du Fan is really good, isn't he?
He's honest, treats me very well and let's me bully him, right?
And yet, he can't make money... Eh!
Are you listening to me!
Why haven't you said this to your parents?
I don't dare to...tell me, what can I do?
I told them that I'm still living with you.
By the time, I'll call you to come over, and help cover for me, is that alright? Please, please, please
Alright, alright, alright!
I find you're quite strange
you write novels and the main characters are always at the top of the food chain
Why do you like Du Fan?
Novels are written for young girls who love to dream
How can I be that stupid to be the edible animal on that food chain
Don't be so sensitive, I don't mean it that way
That's not what I meant, so don't over think things
It's because I can't have the grapes so I think they are sour
If there was a man like Feng Teng pursuing me, then there'll be no Du Fan
Ayo...Alright, I didn't take it to heart
won't you feel reluctant talking about Du Fan like that
The phone is ringing, it's ringing, What is it
The airline's confirmation message
So you've climbed into a higher social class. You always travelled by train before, what happened?
I'm not the one who booked it. Feng Teng booked it for me
This overpowering but considerate
is what every girl wish for, but can't get it!
Is it really admirable?
Also ok.
You can use it as a reference for your novel right, right, right
Eh... I want to ask you
When you return, what are your plans?
When I return, first thing is to pay him back for the plane tickets.
Eh, Xue Shan Shan, don't you feel that, this is really meaningless?
I don't really want to, but what else can I do?
I can't let people think that I'm only with him because, I have another motive
To get something out of him, no way.
Right...You repaying him is not a problem
but don't you think it's very... un romantic
You're being cold and distant, do you understand?
Do you think the Big Boss will miss a couple sheets of paper?
You... can't you find another way to do it?
What...what should I do?
What method should I use?
Hand out...must hit you once
I'll teach you...
What festival is after the New Year's celebrations?
Lantern Festival
I'm going to hit you
I know, it's Valentine's Day
Why don't you give him a gift in return
That's right
Oh, why didn't I think of that?
Shuang Yi
Call me master then disciple What sort of present
Hmmm, let me think about it
Seems like there's a lot of people waiting to be picked up during the Spring Festival season.
I just have to wait a bit
Don't know what kind of reaction Feng Teng will have when he sees this
Feng Teng
Am I dreaming?
When did you get here?
I only just got here
I called your phone but you didn't answer it
I fell asleep
I didn't hear it
Have you slept enough?
Yes
Then let's go
Where...where did it go
Are you looking for this?
It's almost Valentine's Day
I want to give you this gift
Our family is traditional
our Grandfather doesn't let us celebrate Valentine's Day
So I have never celebrated Valentine's Day
But your present, I love it
Let's go
Shan Shan
The other day, Li Shu's mother passed away
What?
She's now living in my family house
During this time she need company
We should go
She's in the car waiting for us
Li Shu, are you ok?
Happy New Year
God, how can Li Shu become so emaciated
What to do, I don't know how to console someone
Li Shu, I have so some beef jerky in my bag, did you want to eat some?
Shan Shan
If you want to eat it, you go ahead.
Xue Shan Shan, don't think too much
At this moment, why are you getting jealous
I've arrived
I'll send you up
No need, get back into the car and send Li Shu home to rest
Sending you up, is something I should do
Doesn't matter...ah...next time then
Next time, you can come up and have tea
By the way, I want to formally introduce Liu Liu to you.
That time at the hospital, it wasn't a happy atmosphere
It should be me who greets her
To thank her for taking such good care of my Shan Shan.
Aright, you'd better go
go then...
After New Year's Day...
A week has quickly passed and this is the first time I've seen Feng Teng
Xue Shan Shan
Although having love is great...
But when you were hurt, Li Shu treated you very well.
You cannot at this moment, be in-human
Have love, but not empathy.
Master you must be tired
Miss Yuan, your stuff has been brought here.
Your luggage has been placed in your room
You're tired, why don't you go rest
Uncle Wang, sorry to intrude
Don't say that
Xiao Zhu, take Miss Yuen to her room to rest
Remember to bring the red apple soup
to Miss Yuan
Ok, Miss Yuen, please come with me
Uncle Wang
Right now, Li Shu's is not at a stable state
Please take good care of her for me
I will, don't worry
I have something to do, I won't be home for dinner tonight
I understand
So great, I haven't lost any of my contacts from my phone
I've heard people say that now a days, a person can store 3 phone numbers in their heads.
One of them is your own number, The second is your mother's
The third, hehehe
Of course it's your lover's
What are you doing?
I'll come pick you up for dinner
I just gone to restore my SIM card
I should have gone with you
The fact is, whether you restore your SIM card or not isn't important
The point is I should have taken you there, understand?
Can't be, he even gets angry about small things like this
It's alright
I had to restore it in a shop which is near Liu Liu's house
It's just on the way
Li Shu, why don't you have dinner with her
Wait for me, I'll pick you up
Alright, I'm hanging up
Miss Yuan
Master Feng has some thing to attend to, so left, said he'll have dinner out
Then I will eat with everyone.
But Mr Zheng Qi has come
How was that? Coming out and enjoy the fresh air, do you feel better?
Much better
That's great
Living in Feng Teng's house, are you used to it?
Yes, I grew up in that house
I'm so use to it to the point of being bored
My mother has always wanted me to move out
Never thought that
Once she's gone, I'd move back in again
Feng Teng should have accompanied you to have dinner
His character is like that
Whatever he does, he becomes very focused on it
When it comes to love, he's like that too
Even when his old friend like me encounters a turn of event
He won't leave his girlfriend alone
You're right, no one can break his principles
Is this trait what attracts you to him?
♫ Love --- it's a complicated game ♫
♫ Once you're invested, you're afraid to lose ♫
♫ If the purpose from the start was to eventually separate ♫
♫ It's destined to be an ending without a conclusion ♫
♫ Knowing full well that with you, there is no winner or loser ♫
♫ But I think of you against my will ♫
♫ I heart-achingly tell myself ♫
♫ I should forget about any such relationship ♫
♫ But I still think of you, always against my will ♫
♫ Fully aware that I'm lying to myself ♫
♫ But I still can't summon up the courage ♫
♫ To say I love you ♫
♫ Love you ♫
