I want you to meet my Dad.

I want to tell him

I'm not going to the U.S.

OK.

Everything is all set.

Columbia University.

Anran studying abroad

has fulfilled her Mom and my dreams.

Right.

Yes, yes.

Thank you!

Anran...

I can't look after you when you go abroad,

Dad, l...

You must take care of yourself.

This watch...

I want you to keep it.

Your Mom gave it to me,

she used to wind it for me,

until that year...

Dad...

You used to ask me

why I didn't get it fixed.

It doesn't really need to be fixed,

it just stopped at that moment.

Like your Mom

watching me grow old

and you grow up.

Hurry up, don't be late!

Don't dilly-dally!

Don't be a nag!

I'm telling you, give it your best shot.

Anran is willing to give up the U.S. for you.

How do I look?

Great!

I'm going.

Wait! It's raining, take an umbrella.

Sun Yuejin, what are you doing here?

Say something! Where is he?

You should go home.

What did you say?

Go home, he's not coming.

No way!

He's definitely coming.

We agreed.

He doesn't love you.

It's true, he's not coming.

He has someone else, go to the U.S.

He is not serious about you!

He doesn't want you anymore!

Please go, go!

Hurry! We're running out of plates!

Zhao Yongyuan

your letters have been returned.

The doctor said it's nothing major.

But...

you had a miscarriage.

Whatever you have been through,

we're all strangers in a foreign land.

If you want

let me look after you from now on.

Everything will be fine.

You're under arrest for assault.

Come with us.

Can you give me an hour'?

- An hour? - Don't move!

- Just 1 hour - You almost killed someone.

The punishment for assault

is 3 to 5 years imprisonment.

But I didn't expect to get out after a year.

I started to take orders for wholesale,

sold my clothes to Japan,

Russia and Singapore,

and now the U.S.,

a place I often dreamt about.

The data is inaccurate,

I can't base my budget on this.

Why are you doing this to me all the time?

We managed to fulfill these big orders

because Uncle Ji and I planned ahead.

Who? You and Uncle Ji?

Yongyuan had always wanted to do this.

Then why isn't he here?

Why do you always go against me?

When did I do that?

Sun Yuejin!

You're awake!

Thinking of Anran again?

Don't blame me!

Back then, I didn't...

OK...

- Sleep! - I can't help it.

He told me to let her go.

But Anran wouldn't budge. What can I do?

I lied about there being someone else.

I'd be devastated if I were in her shoes.

What are you doing? The painting...

What's the use?

Nobody wants to buy them! Why bother?

I can't even pay my rent, I'm living off a woman!

Sorry!

I'm just angry with myself.

I'm sorry!

Everything will be fine.
