Will these people
come back for more trouble?
Anyway, someone
must be encouraging them.
The mole people
don't have much judgment.
But I get it.
I understand
how the gamblers' families feel.
Gamblers lie to them every day,
so their emotions can't stay stable.
Exactly.
You're the one who understands
their feelings the best.
You're a role model for gamblers' families,
right?
What role model?
You're mocking me again.
(Matsuo) Yan,
the video of your win
is already online.
Congrats, congrats.
You won?
We won.
You know what.
Someone tampered
with our ingredients.
We didn't know who,
but Mr. He
and I
adjusted the plan on site,
which actually
surprised the judges.
Sorry.
This
kind of ruined
your highlight moment.
Was I too late for your moment?
That was a grand occasion.
I think
I can't be so selfish.
Come on.
I'll give you another highlight moment.
What do you mean?
Slow down. Turn left.
Be careful.
- Well. - Take it slow.
Where are we going?
Somewhere interesting.
Careful, okay, stop.
There's a step.
Come on, let's go down.
Good.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes; don't open them.
Don't open them.
I won't.
Are you ready?
Soon.
Okay, open your eyes.
What? You have a new car?
Switched to a pink one?
Hello, Ms. Liu.
My name is Lu Tianchi.
I was born
in Shanghai in 1987.
I've been at Gaya
for 13 years now.
I have a real and reliable
Gaya household registration.
After spending
a long time with you,
I believe
I can provide you
with a cohabitation certificate.
To show my sincerity,
this car is for you.
Here is the car contract.
Here are my documents.
Please take a look.
This is for me?
You sold your car
and bought one for me?
If you want to get
the cohabitation certificate in Gaya,
you need fixed assets
under your name.
I can't afford a house,
but a used car is fine.
Come on.
Get in and feel it.
How is it? Still roomy?
Just get in.
This light looks familiar.
Do you like it?
Pretty good.
Right.
Come here.
What are you doing?
Gathering evidence for cohabitation registration.
When did I ever say
I'd live with you?
It's just too hard to find someone else again.
Seriously.
The ones you found for me
were all unreliable?
Just forget about it.
Let's settle this.
I'll register with you, okay?
Lu Tianchi,
you have one more chance
to say that again nicely.
After thorough consideration,
I believe I'm the most suitable person
to apply for cohabitation certificate with you.
So,
is it because you're kind
and you think I'm pitiful
that you want to help me
get the certificate?
Is that it?
Well.
Not exactly.
I'll give you one more chance
to explain it to me.
I just want
to get the certificate with you.
Alright.
Got it.
Where's the turtle?
Let me try it out.
This one is right-hand drive,
so be a bit careful
with the steering.
- Let me. - No worries.
It's nothing.
When I was on the team,
I always drove the minibus to competitions,
taking the teammates along.
What's wrong?
♪Dear, we still don't know what love is♪
I'm used to driving big vehicles,
so I'm not very used
to driving small cars now.
The accelerator is quite sensitive.
Don't rush to step on the gas.
Take it slow first.
Lu Tianchi,
you're making me nervous.
No, no, don't.
Don't be nervous.
Yeah.
Don't step on the gas too hard.
Not too hard.
Slowly, slowly.
♪Just thinking about it makes me happy♪
Watch the road, watch the road.
Is this light bothering your eyes?
No, I like it.
We're going downhill.
It's okay.
There, there.
Left, left.
Can you have a little faith
in my driving skills?
♪Like an inexplicable attraction♪
I'm driving well.
Is the steering wheel heavy?
No, it's much lighter than my minibus'.
♪We can't keep doing this♪
What are you doing?
Your hair is in your eyes.
I'm afraid you can't see.
♪Dear, we still don't know what love is♪
♪But I keep thinking about you♪
♪Silly as we are, we think this is love♪
♪Keeping the good, giving you the bad♪
♪Often dreaming of you♪
♪No matter what day it is♪
♪Like an inexplicable attraction♪
♪I'll see you the day after tomorrow♪
♪Just thinking about it makes me happy♪

(Casino)
Hi, Abdu.
Abdu.
I know you're unhappy.
I know you're mad.
I owed you a lot of money before.
We're such good friends, right?
Listen to me.
I've found a new way recently.
Of course.
It was my fault before.
So, to show my sincerity,
you can ask for any interest you want.
Trust me one last time,
okay?
What are you doing?
This place is nice.
Free food and drinks.
Great place for VIP.
- Nice. - How did you sneak in?
I just walked in.
Why would I sneak in?
Put your phone away.
Sit down.
- Chatting with foreigners? - No filming.
That's rude.
When did you learn a foreign language?
Good for you.
Zan, you skipped school again.
I don't care whether you go
to school or not,
but Salty cares.
Do you want her to punish you?
Don't change the subject.
Aren't you sick?
Aren't you on medicine?
Where's your medicine? Show me.
Okay.
This is her medicine.
I had it tested.
Vitamins.
You can't take vitamins like that.
- Spit it out. - You said it.
- You said it was vitamins. - Spit it out.
You said it was vitamins, right?
Gotcha.
Liu Yan, look.
This is the evidence.
I'm telling you.
You need to take Jiang Fang
to get checked now.
The truth will be clear
once the CT results come out.
Jiang Fang, listen.
You're so superstitious.
You can't take off that charm.
If you do, it won't work anymore.
Think carefully
about the consequences.
Well...
I raised you.
You want to start a war with me
with your little tricks?
I owed money to Mr. Luo.
Do you think
I don't know
you put a tracker on me?
So what if you know?
I have evidence now.
If you don't cooperate,
I'll send it to my sister.
Anyway, I came today
to expose you.
I used your ID
to make an appointment.
You just
have to come with me
to get tested.
Okay?
When the results are out,
the truth will come out.
Do you dare?
Don't talk nonsense.
Cancel the appointment now.
Let's go now.
- Let's go. - Wait.
Go on.
I didn't want to tell you this.
Do you remember the bag
with your dad's memorial photo?
There is
an insurance contract inside.
Go and take a look.
If you still want to take me
to the hospital afterward,
I'll go with you.
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
Didn't you see
when the contract takes effect?
Do you think I can go to the hospital?
I have a brain tumor.
If they know about this,
will they still pay out?
You're committing insurance fraud.
As long as I don't go to the hospital
for a formal checkup,
there won't be any record of me.
Without my record,
I can say
I didn't know I had this illness.
Why keep asking?
Now, you know
why I can't go to the hospital, right?
- You know why I had - Please say
- to use my connections, right? - the service keywords.
Human service.
You can say
"buy insurance".
I need a human service
- to check the insurance No. - Please say
- Human service. - the service keywords.
Enough already.
- Why argue with a robot? - You can say...
You can check the contract No.
on the official website.
Go over there.
Still, we need to know
what the illness actually is, right?
If there's no illness, don't fake it.
If there is,
then we treat it.
I'll call my sis.
Enough already.
She finally
found a job.
Don't disturb her work.
Let's talk when she's back.
Potatoes are here.
Hey, what is this?
How can you decide on your own
to accept a batch of these potatoes?
Didn't you tell me to accept them?
Who said that? I didn't.
No, Jing just said...
Chef,
we've always used potatoes
grown in sand.
They have a higher starch content.
When boiled, they're yellowish.
The batch she accepted
is white potatoes grown in soil.
Their starch content is lower,
and the texture is crisp.
They are unsuitable
for making mashed potatoes.
How can someone who represents Highland on TV
have such poor judgment?
No, it was Jing who told me
to sign for it with your absence.
Jing.
You win.
However you wash them,
you still can't change the variety.
Done, Chef.
It's delicious.
Better than before.
Delicious.
Kanta, tell the manager
the mashed potatoes are sold out.
Mr. He,
didn't you say it tastes better
than before?
As a single dish, the mashed potatoes
are indeed very good.
Mashed potatoes are usually paired
with beef.
Beef has
plenty of fat already.
If you pair it with these mashed potatoes,
they will overpower
the original flavor of the beef.
Chef,
what about that pile of potatoes?
Highland doesn't allow
such mistakes.
Whoever accepted it
shall compensate at the internal price.
For 100 jin?
Any objections?
No, Mr. He.
A chef's worst mistake
is to take their eyes
off their ingredients.
I will pay attention.
This mistake won't happen again.
I hope whoever tampered
with the food on the day
of the TV show
can come forward
before I find out.
Wasn't it Philip?
(It's not her birthday.)
(Nor mine.)
(Then whose is it?)
(It must be her father's.)
(Could it be)
(that day?)
(Li Zan)
We can develop the dish in the kitchen
based on this idea.
Really?
Great.
Thank you for approving the plan.
It's not really approval.
I just think it has some...
Understood.
Imperfections.
Now, it's garbage
with future potential for perfection.
Mr. He,
I have a request.
Go ahead.
If my performance is acceptable,
I want to apply to be a sous chef.
You disappeared again
at a critical moment a few days ago.
Don't you want to explain it?
I've seen that report.
It was fabricated
by someone else, Mr. He.
Lu Tianchi wouldn't do that.
You're very bad
at managing
your personal life
and your emotions.
A sous chef
is not just someone who cooks well.
Every chef who wants a diamond rating
has no private life.
(Li Zan) Sis, Jiang Fang ran away.
What happened?
I called you.
Why didn't you pick up?
What were you busy with?
What use is it for you to come back now?
Jiang Fang ran away long ago.
Stop looking around.
Anything in this house that could be sold
has been sold.
The house is bare.
Come on, tell me how you were fooled.
She told me
she gave up treatment.
She said the insurance company
won't pay.
And she told me not to tell you.
She told me you're busy.
Then she gave me a glass of water.
I've been sleeping ever since.
What are you doing?
Why did you tear it up?
She stole my bank card
and transferred all my money out.
Do you think these few pieces of paper
can be real?
It's all my fault.
How could I believe her?
Jiang Fang is a big jinx.
Whoever touches her gets unlucky.
Look, she even left me a pair of shoes.
Just one of them was left.
And both
are the left ones.
Where are you going, sis?
I brought her back.
None of your business.
Going to find her now
is pointless.
She must've spent all the money.
Come on.
At least get me some clothes.
I think you look good
like this.
Come on.
Liu Yan,
my friend saw Jiang Fang
near the cross-sea bridge.
Jiang Fang
has made her choice.
You...
Stay clear-headed.
Got it.
♪Pear blossoms fall♪
♪Into the mud in spring♪
♪They came just for one in this life♪
Salty.
Listen, I feel great today.
I just feel that today
I'll definitely see you.
And you appeared, right?
See? I feel so good now.
Do you still have money?
If you do, give me some.
If I go in, I can win back
- all I lost today. - You lost it all.
I kept winning before, you know?
I won a lot of money.
All the money
I won...
Just come here.
- You keep losing. - You...
You keep losing, Jiang Fang.
But
I won't lose forever, right?
I can always win.
I'm telling you.
I'm crazy.
I won so much money
but suddenly ran to the restroom.
Jiang Fang.
After I went to the bathroom...
Jiang Fang, look.
I haven't shown you this before, right?
I broke every bone
in my body
to clear your debts.
What game are you playing,
Jiang Fang?
I've worked so hard.
I put all in. Are you in or out?
Too afraid to look, huh?
You know this.
You just don't dare to admit
that you know everything.
Why?
Why can't you just let me
have a little peace?
Don't give me that.
Just leave me alone, okay?
Leave me alone.
I know I'm no good.
I'm not even human.
Just leave me alone.
I'll handle it myself.
I handle everything myself.
Jiang Fang,
do you know? In these ten years in Beijing,
every night I can't help
but ask myself one question.
If you knew
you only had two days left,
would you come to Beijing to get me?
I'm asking you right now.
If you knew
you only had two days left,
would you still treat me like this?
I...
I don't get it.
What are you saying?
Two days to live?
I can live for a long time,
and so can you.
We'll both live long
and get rich.
You're not sick, are you?
Salty is angry.
Salty is furious.
Salty, don't be mad.
I know, I know.
I know I've failed you.
I lost
all your money gambling.
But you know,
I could have won today.
I'm telling you.
The biggest win of my life
was at this place.
Not long ago,
they told me there would be a new table.
They always throw the game with a new table.
I had a big chance to win,
so I went to see you.
- I wanted to win. - Jiang Fang!
I'm not
that 12-year-old girl anymore.
Now, I'm a chef at Highland Restaurant.
I will become a sous chef.
Then I can support you.
I can pay for Li Zan's college.
I can do all that.
Jiang Fang,
stop fooling me
with your tricks, okay?
Salty,
I was wrong.
Please don't be like this.
You hurt my heart, Salty.
Salty, I'm telling you.
Leave me alone.
I'm an adult.
I have the responsibility, ability,
and obligation to take care of myself
- Don't give me that. - and solve my issues.
Don't give me that.
Let's go.
- Where? - To quit gambling.
- I don't want to. - You can quit.
I can help you.
If I do, I'll never win it back.
Only if you quit can you win.
Don't you know that?
No, I can't quit.
Don't drag me.
I can't quit. I don't want to quit.
- You have to go. - No.
I can't quit, Salty.
I really can't quit.
Salty,
are you going to send me
to a gambling addiction center?
I won't go. Listen, that place
is worse than prison.
- Really. - I won't send you there.
I can help you.
Let's go home and quit, okay?
- Let's go. - No.
There's no need to quit at home.
Choose between our home
and a gambling addiction center.
Then home it is.
Let's go home.
Wait a minute.
Promise me you won't send me
to a gambling addiction center.
You also have to promise me
you won't lie to me again.
I know you expected it
to be like this.
So, if you come preaching,
I don't want to hear it now.
No, I'm here to keep you company.
- Take this credit card. - No.
- No need. - You'll have to pay it back.
Jiang Fang must've spent
all your money.
Li Zan still needs to eat.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
You have to do me a favor.
Say it.
Li Zan can't live at home anymore.
Jiang Fang's situation
is affecting his studies.
You have to do me another favor.
Say it.
Come and live at my place.
Don't get me wrong.
I just thought of a way
to deal with Jiang Fang.
Right, I can also collect some evidence
for cohabitation.
Ms. He.
Thank you, Ms. He.
Please take care of Li Zan
for a while.
He has to stay a little longer.
Okay, don't worry.
Why did you kick me out?
Shouldn't she be the one to leave?
Enough, just stop it.
Jiang Fang can't quit.
Are you stupid?
You're the stupid one.
Since Jiang Fang came back,
you've skipped 47 classes
and missed 3 important exams.
Are you still going to Peking University?
It's okay.
With Li Zan's grades,
Peking University is still very likely.
Listen.
Listen to what Ms. He
is saying.
Besides,
can you really keep Jiang Fang in check?
She should be sent to a gambling addiction center.
If you mention that again, I'll punch you.
She should be locked up there
forever.
She doesn't see you as her daughter,
nor as a person.
I...
Sis, you just punched me.
Sorry.
Ms. He, please take care
of my brother.
Li Zan, be good.
Listen to Ms. He.
Alright, let's go.
Bye.
You punched him so hard.
That brat didn't even dodge.
He's too fragile.
You still shouldn't punch him.
If he doesn't behave himself,
I won't have the energy to deal with Jiang Fang.
If you want to try,
just try one.
Well...
Let's see if this works.
Harder.
I think this is too rough.
- Is it okay? - It's sturdy.
Come and look here.
What?
Come here.
Alright.
Password.
Your birthday.
Mahjong.
Poker.
From now on,
we don't leave the table for 24 hours.
I quit.
Quit?
Don't. I'll play with you.
Salty, stop messing around.
What about your work if you play with me?
When she's working, I'll play with you, okay?
Uncle Lu,
did your law firm
go bankrupt?
You can't feed yourself, huh?
So you came here to freeload?
Listen, I'm a professional at lying.
Don't try to fool me.
- Okay? - Stop it.
Verbal attacks won't work.
You have to win us over
with your gambling skills.
What is this?
We're playing games.
Salty,
didn't you promise to help me quit gambling?
Why suddenly start playing games?
I figured it out.
You love gambling, right?
Let's gamble for fun.
You want to test me?
Salty, you don't understand me.
The thing
I can't stand the most is a test.
What game? How to play?
What are the rules?
No sleep
for six days.
If you win,
all the money on the card will be yours.
You can use it to win.
If you lose,
you follow my arrangements.
You have no money left.
Uncle Lu, thanks.
Wait a minute.
How do we calculate wins and losses
over these six days?
The same as usual.
We can keep score.
On the sixth day,
if you win,
the money on the card will be yours.
We'll also give you
all the money you win.
If you lose, I just need...
Follow my arrangements.
Come on, hurry up.
Uncle Lu, come on.
Hurry, shuffle the cards.
Uncle Lu, can you please help me
fill the kettle with hot water?
You have a lot of requests.
Do you want to play?
Just do it.
Do you know how to play Zha Jin Hua?
No.
- Blackjack? - No.
Mini Pai Gow at least?
- No. - How do you play then?
You can teach me.
You're learning now?
Make it simple
with our new menu this time.
Stop making it complicated.
Daxiang, come here.
How are you two doing at home?
(Liu Yan)
(Lu Tianchi) Don't worry. We're still playing.
Uncle Lu,
did you offend someone
because of that last thing?
Two aces and an eight.
If you ask me, don't be so stubborn.
Go to Putai Group
and get back that 500,000 dollars.
Everyone will be happy.
Are you in? If not, I'll pay it.
Wait a minute.
Twenty.
Forty.
No more playing.
Let's change the place.
This place is unlucky.
You're cheating.
Shuffle.
If you ask me, Uncle Lu,
don't be too greedy.
500,000 dollars is not a small amount.
Look at yourself.
You've got nothing left.
You can only play cards
with me every day here.
How ridiculous.
I'm coming.
You're back.
Did you bring any goodies?
My turn.
Did you bring any goodies?
No.
He's crazy.
Come on, I'll play with you.
Salty,
tell me the truth.
What's going on between you
and Lu Tianchi?
Do you play?
Are you holding hands?
Oh, no.
Did you hug?
Did you kiss?
Look at me.
Did you do that?
What are you saying? No.
Listen, I'm here today
to spend three minutes
explaining
something necessary,
and then you can decide
whether to have me represent
the scammed victims here
to file a class action
against Putai Group.
Listen, Salty.
Now, you have three Seven Characters.
These three Seven Characters
can also act as a pair.
- I'm back. - Remember that?
Then it's just one pair.
Come on, grab your tile.
I can't reach it.
Don't go. Listen to me.
- Hurry up and go. - No.
- Listen. - So sleepy.
She's very smart.
She's never learned
to play mahjong for these years.
After so many years,
you're one
of the few good players I've met.
However,
let me be blunt.
You can't marry my daughter.
What are you doing?
Collecting some evidence.
Help me brush my teeth.
Do you have to prove
our intimate relationship this way?
What are you saying?
Be clearer.
I can't hear what you're saying.
I...
I think this is more natural.
We don't have to hug or cuddle.
What are you doing?
But now...
The cards are dealt.
- Coming. - Hurry.
(Jiang Fang,)
(have you heard about defeating magic)
(with magic?)
(You taught me how to cook before.)
(Now, I teach you how to quit gambling.)
(I'm not afraid to wait.)
(In my life,)
(the thing I fear least is waiting.)
(Come on.)
(Don't sleep. Let's have one more round.)
You'll lose if you sleep.
I was looking at the cards.
- You just slept for one sec. - No.
Even one sec means losing.
No, I'm keeping my eyes open.
I'm keeping my eyes open.
Bid. Three of diamonds.
I have three of diamonds.
You're losing.
Who bid? Who's the landlord?
I'm the landlord.
Play.
Landlord.
Three of diamonds.
Play your card.
Right.
Still want to gamble?
I'm going to sleep. No more playing.
No more playing.
Still want to gamble?
Don't gamble
or lie to your daughter again.
