As soon as Fei Shan helps Yan Hua with the dishes, Lang Ruoxian jumps the gun to put the same one into her bowl and throws the previously served food aside.
âUncle, can I take this?â Gungun looks greedily at the bowl of tender lamb rolls.
Lang Ruoxian gets a new piece for him, âThat one is garbage, inedible and dirty.â
â...â Fei Ying is quite amused by them. And Fei Yi has to take care of both his daughter Xiaojiu and his wife lest the latter choke herself.
Later Lang Ruoxian gets up to go to the restroom and Fei Yi follows out.
âWhat?â Lang Ruoxian throws the tissue away and stares at Fei Yi, âReplace your brother to challenge me?â
Fei Yi snorts with indifference, âI donât care if you compete fairly. And... To be honest, you are better than my brother.â
âYou know the truth.â Lang Ruoxian is satisfied with his words, âDonât worry. For your sake, I wonât do anything to Fei Shan.â
Fei Yi frowns his eyebrows when Lang Ruoxian is out: it feels like something was wrong...
On their way back, Fei Ying and Fei Shan whisper to each other about how to pursue Yan Hua. Xiaojiu sits in the front seat and looks at them. She then turns to Fei Yi.
âDaddy, if Uncle marries Auntie Hua, Gungun will be my brother?â
Fei Yi rubs his daughterâs head, âXiaojiu wants to have a younger brother?â
âYes!â Xiaojiu nods but soon shakes her head, âI want a brother just like Gungun.â
Fei Yi is silent.
So Xiaojiu believes that if Yan Hua marries Fei Shan, Gungun will be one of her family. As soon as they arrive home, she asks Fei Ying for her cell phone and calls Gungun secretly.
Fei Shan gazes at his brother in the living room.
âWhat do you mean Yan Hua is not for me? Are you my brother or Lang Ruoxianâs?â
Fei Yi takes off his coat, âIâm telling you the truth just because Iâm your brother. If you are really together someday, both of you will have a quite hard time.â
âWhat makes you say that?â Fei Shan groans, âMy sister-in-law once made so many troubles, and did you get tired?â
âWell, so I ask you,â Fei Yi sits across from him, âif you have to choose only one between Yan Hua and your acting career, which will you take?â
Fei Shan hesitates, âWhy to choose one? These two are not in conflict.â
âDo you think Yan Hua can stand you making out with other women on screen?â Fei Yi asks, âIf you were 40 years old, itâs easy, you can skip the sex scenes. But you are just over twenty, a perfect age to develop your career, and do you think you wonât play any movies where you fall in love with other heroines?â
âFei Shan, Yan Hua is the kind of women who live above honor and are very selfish in love. She wonât like you, because she will never put herself in a position to be jealous of the roles you play.â
Fei Shan is silent for a moment and later he says slowly, âDid you keep in touch? It sounds like you know her so well.â
âBecause Iâm better than you on judging people.â Fei Yi laughs at him, âWhy do you think Lang Ruoxian is so nervous today? He usually doesnât take others seriously. Because he made a mistake before. And he knows that even though he didnât have an affair with a woman as the press reported, things happened and facts became facts.â
âI think that he got no chance to explain to Yan Hua due to some reasons, so she broke up with him.â Fei Yi continues to teach his younger brother, âThough she still likes him silently, she isnât going to let it go. Thatâs why Lang Ruoxian suddenly becomes so anxious.â
Fei Shan says with a certain obstinacy, âRight! So I can just swoop in. Brother, actually, I understand what you say, but if I donât try once to win her heart, I will regret for life.â
âDonât worry about it. Even though she refused me, at least I tried, and I will never regret.â
Fei Yi pats his shoulder, âIâm just afraid you may fall too deep in the end. You should know what is your goal.â
Fei Yi goes back to his room and Fei Ying asks him foolishly, âYou analyzed and told him the truth?â
âYou know too he has no chance?â Fei Yi kisses his little wife, âAnd youâre still making fun of it.â
Fei Ying giggles and hugs him, âItâs useless to persuade him and thereâs nothing wrong to admire someone. At least he tried! What if he made it?â
âMommy! Daddy!â Xiaojiu runs to them merrily, âI told Gungun and he promised to ask Auntie Yan Hua to marry Uncle, then we can live and play together!â
Fei Ying is surprised and gives her daughter a kiss, âGo, go, go! Tell your Uncle to take credit for it.â
At Langâs mansion, Gungun cheerfully runs into Lang Ruoxianâs room.
âUncle!â Lang Ruoxian just took a bath and carries him into his room, âDoes your mom know you are here?â
Gungun hugs him tight and whispers in his ear, âMommy doesnât know. She went to have a shower and I come here on the sly.â
âWhat are you going to do here?â Lang Ruoxian rubs his little head, âTell me, uncle can do everything.â
Gungun pulls a straight face, âCan uncle ask mom to marry Uncle of Xiaojiu? So Gungun can go to her house and live with her forever.â
â...â Lang Ruoxianâs face darkens quickly: is the boy getting so bold after he learns how to speak long sentences?
âWhy do you think so? Donât you like your own house?â He tries to keep a smile on his face, âIf you go to other peopleâs home, you will never see Uncle again. Do you want that?â
Gungun cocks his head to one side, âIf I were the brother of my sister, I canât see Uncle anymore?â
âCanât see me.â Lang Ruoxian asks, âWho told you to be the brother of Xiaojiu?â
âIt was her!â Gungun, a pig-like teammate, blurts it out, â Xiaojiu told me to go their house and be her brother.â
Lang Ruoxian has no choice. He thinks it is a scheme by Fei Shan, but what if Xiaojiu does it...
âIf Gungun goes to the other family, Uncle will be alone at our home. No one cares Uncle or speaks to Uncle.â Lang Ruoxian starts to brainwash his own ally.
âXiaojiu has so many families but Uncle is alone.â
Gungun tilts his head back and looks at his uncle. The moment he sees Lang Ruoxianâs expression he embraces him sharply, âUncle has Gungun. I will be with you forever!â
âCan Gungun keep the promise?â Lang Ruoxian takes his fatty hand, âGungun, Mommy, and Uncle, we families will live together forever!â
âDeal!â Gungun links his little finger with his uncleâs, âPinkie fingers entwined, the promise for a hundred year wonât be changed!â
Lang Ruoxian narrows his eyes and goes on preaching, âNext time Xiaojiu asks you to be her brother, you can tell her to let her parents to make one of their own, remember?â
âRemembered!â
Yan Hua enters to look for her son and sees the old and the young laughing together.
âGungun?â
Gungun turns around and jumps into her arms, âMommy!â
âWhy did you run away without telling Mom?â Yan Hua picks him up and glances at Lang Ruoxian, âWhat are you doing here?â
Lang Ruoxian smiles, âItâs a tip for men.â
âYes, tit for men!â Gungun repeats.
Yan Hua rolls her eyes, âFine, time to bed.â
Xiaojiu doesnât know yet her little partner already defected and receives a big Barbie doll from Fei Shan as a reward. Before Christmas, Fei Shan is offered a role in a movie, of which the director and the film crew are all first-rate. So his agent signed the acting contract after checking with him.
By the time he realizes Lang Ruoxian is one of the investors, he has no choice but to pack up at once and join the filming in northwest.
âYan Hua, Iâm off for the filming.â Before his departure, Fei Shan tries to embarrass Lang Ruoxian as much as possible.
Yan Hua is told by Fei Ying what is going on, and she doesnât know what to say, âSo... If you really donât want to act, Iâll pay the default fine for you. Okay?â
She calculates her own deposits and estimates that the year-end dividend form Lang Consortium will be enough to cover the fine.
âHaha! What are you saying? Iâm an actor who keeps the promise, and since I signed the contract, I wonât back out. Besides, the movie is indeed superior, of course... it will be much better if Lang Ruoxian doesnât play any tricks.â
âI will come back for the promotion before the Spring Festival and may see you then.â Fei Shan smiles, âBut, it is such a pity I canât spend the Christmas Day with you.â
Yan Hua smiles, âIâll invite you for dinner during the Spring Festival.â
âThatâs a deal!â
âThatâs a deal!â
Getting a promise of a meal, Fei Shan set off to the northwest. After his departure, Lang Ruoxian is in a rather good mood. One day he receives a call from the police about the box of dollars that Yan Hua has found, because he told the police to contact him as soon as they got any results.
âMr. Lang, we found the owner, but he refuses to take it back and says to give Miss Yan the money. Could you come to the police station?â
Is there anyone who doesnât want his own money? Yan Hua is confused at the news.
âDid the police tell you who the owner is?â
âWeâll know until we go to the police.â Lang Ruoxian looks at his watch, âIâll come back to pick you up in the afternoon. Will you take Gungun or send him to Fei Familyâs house?â
âItâs better to send him to Fei Ying, and she can take him to the kindergarten to pick up Xiaojiu.â Yan Hua considers the police station is not a right place for Gungun, who may be scared and shocked there.
A middle-aged policeman at the reception desk looks puzzled with a strange face when they talks about the owner.
âHer surname is Yuan, and she is 42 years old. Her husband is from Lu Family, who runs a chain of supermarkets, which you must hear of, the House Joy (Department Store).â
Yan Hua certainly knows the supermarket that has at least hundreds of branches in G Province. She looks at Lang Ruoxian.
âLu Youde.â Lang Ruoxian surely knows this man but they have no business contact before.
The cop nods his head, âYes, yes! It is him. Mrs. Lu claimed she didnât want to take it back but suggested us to give it as a gift to the one who found it. She stressed that if Miss Yan doesnât want it, it will be up to us to solve it.â
âDidnât she mention any reasons?â Yan Hua refuses to take such a sum of money.
âNo, she didnât.â The police is also a little helpless, âWe called back but Mrs. Lu either hung up, or complained impatiently and warned to sue us for harassment.â
