That traitor!
You've been so nice to him,
yet he still has the audacity to do this!
No, I'll talk to him right now.
I'll ask how our family has ever harmed him.
Mom.
People change.
We can't foresee or prevent it.
Zhou Rui and I
have been on different paths for a long time now.
But we can't just let it go like this!
There's already been a significant breakthrough
with Chen Lan's testimony.
Anxia withdrew the lawsuit.
How can that be?
Yang Yang said the president's office just received the lawyer's reply.
Su Juan and the others
wanted Chen Lan to bear sole responsibility.
But because Chen Lan confessed to everything,
Zhou Rui will be liable with him.
Anxia is dropping the lawsuit now
for Zhou Rui's sake.
It helps them completely cut ties with this matter.
Su Juan is now running wild in the company!
Come on, let's go find your dad right now.
I want to see
if anyone can deal with him!
Mom, sit down.
Dad needs to rest right now.
It's best not to disturb him.
I will handle this matter myself.
Why did you withdraw the lawsuit?
I am done cleaning up the mess
the former director made.
Besides, Anxia's reputation must be preserved.
Fox, you stopped
since you can't hide your tail anymore.
I tell you,
this is about the company's interests.
You can't do this!
Su Juan!
Can't I do this?
From what position are you speaking to me right now?
As the supervisor or as my younger brother?
Did you get Dad's advice
before withdrawing the lawsuit?
Did he agree to this?
He has one foot in the grave (dying)
and no energy for these things.
He's your father, too!
I'm just stating the facts.
If there's nothing else, I'm leaving,
Little Brother.
What are you doing?
If you're going to drink, I can't stop you.
But I can accompany you.
I'll drink two bottles for every one you drink.
Drinking like this,
don't you care about your health?
What about you?
Don't you care about your health?
Don't endanger your health simply because you're upset.
I get your point.
Tomorrow, I'll talk to other shareholders at the company.
I don't believe everyone will sit back and do nothing.
Hello, Mom.
Gu Yi, your dad won't make it.
How's my father?
We've done our best.
Please accept our condolences.
Brother!
Brother.
My dad has been training me
to be Anxia's successor since I was a child.
He directed my every move.
I never listened;
I always argued with him.
After I got old enough to understand,
I realized he caused my mother's fury.
So I became
more and more resentful of him.
I didn't even bother to visit him...
when he was sick.
I assumed if I didn't see him,
I'd see him next time.
If we couldn't agree,
we'd talk again next time.
But now,
he's gone.
There is no "next time."
Qiao Jing,
I don't have a dad anymore.
If I'd seen him that day, I'd feel so much better.
Although he was angry with me,
at least I'd see him one last time.
You still have me.
Everyone,
this document
is the will left by Chairman Gu before his death.
I will read it to everyone.
I, Gu Nan,
in order to prevent disputes over inheritance,
have made this will as follows:
First, all my properties and savings
are shared between me and my spouse, Fang Pei.
From my part, I
allocate ¥1 million ($139,000)
as a startup fund for Gu Yi.
The remainder
will be joined into the Gu Family Trust Fund.
Each member of the Gu family
will receive ¥100,000 ($14,000) per month as living expenses.
Second, I hold
80% of the shares
in Anxia Group Holdings Co. Ltd.
Ten percent will be given to my second oldest brother, Gu Yu.
Ten percent will be given to the third oldest, my sister, Gu Ying.
Ten percent will be given to Gu Yi.
The remaining 50%
will be inherited by my eldest son, Su Juan.
Finally, Su Juan will now serve
as Anxia Group's chairman.
That's all the contents of the will.
Impossible.
Gu Nan couldn't have left the company to him!
What's impossible about that?
Your son was already kicked out of the company.
Would he still leave it to him?
There must be something wrong with this will.
This can't be.
This will was definitely forged.
This is the original will that Chairman Gu
handed to me personally before his death.
When your husband passed away,
you didn't shed a single tear.
Now that you have the original will,
you are still skeptical of its authenticity.
My brother was extremely unlucky
to have married a woman like you.
Enough!
I'm just stating the facts.
Fake!
This must have been forged by Su Juan!
Fake!
Mom, I respect Dad's decision.
Let's go.
This is impossible!
Let go!
That will must have been forged by Su Juan.
He's been preparing for a long time to take away
all that belongs to you.
Lawyer Zhao served Dad more than 20 years.
He's always diligent and responsible.
How could he forge the will?
But I can't figure it out.
How could your dad possibly have left the company to him?
The company is yours.
Dad may have been disappointed in me.
Son, don't think such nonsense.
- Your dad, he just—
It's okay, Mom.
No matter what decision Dad made,
I accept it.
Mrs. Gu, Director Gu,
Chairman Gu left some belongings in the study.
What would you like to do with them?
Look at your dad.
He didn't love me.
Yet why did he keep my photo,
carrying it in his wallet everywhere?
When I met your father,
he was just the head of a small company.
He had no money
and no connections.
He relied on his persuasiveness
to charm me completely.
I must have been out of my mind to insist
on marrying him.
And the result?
His business grew bigger and bigger,
but things got...
colder and colder between us.
We fought
and argued our entire lives.
How could he leave just like that?
Mom.
You still have me.
Are you hungry? I'll cook noodles for you.
I'm not hungry.
Don't worry about it. Just rest.
What's this?
This is a birthday gift my dad gave me.
It was the first time he played building blocks with me.
I wouldn't have dreamed...
it was also the last time.
Once, I had a fight with him,
and I smashed it in anger.
I can't believe my dad
picked up all the pieces
and kept them all this time.
Actually, Chairman Gu has always cared about you.
Qiao Jing, let's build it together, okay?
Okay.
Lawyer Zhao, we don't doubt you.
But as for that will,
I pondered it all night
and still don't understand.
I was unaware of Chairman Gu's arrangements
in advance.
He wasn't optimistic about his recovery at the time.
When I got there,
he just gave me
a sealed document
and told me it was his will.
He told me to keep it safe
and open it only after he died.
Was Su Juan there at the time?
It was just Chairman Gu and me throughout the process.
This will
must be based on his personal wishes.
I know you both have doubts about Su Juan.
But the fact is,
Chairman Gu passed away due to illness,
and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
To be honest,
I also found Chairman Gu's arrangements a bit strange,
but who knows
what Chairman Gu was thinking?
What are you doing here?
I just went to see Xiao Yun.
This is from her.
Qiao Jing.
I should have told you a long time ago,
but I was too cowardly at that time.
Now I can only express my regret
to you in this manner.
I know
this cannot make up for the harm I caused you.
And I don't dare hope you'll forgive me.
But I still want to apologize to you.
Back then, I didn't understand all this.
You were clearly inferior to me in every aspect.
How could you win Gu Yi's love?
Only now do I understand...
I'm actually the one
who is inferior in every way.
So...
I sincerely wish you both happiness.
Xiao Yun was sentenced to two years for intentional injury.
She has truly let go.
You must be happy
to see her like this now, right?
Even she has moved on;
how much longer will you wallow in self-pity?
Gu Yi truly sees you as a brother.
He is the last person you should hurt.
What do you know about our relationship?
It's true I don't understand,
but I still have to tell you this.
Don't hurt the people
who really love you in the name of love.
The handover ceremony will happen soon.
We can't let our guard down yet.
Is anything going on with Gu Yi these days?
They went to see Zhao Ming.
What's the use of talking to Zhao Ming?
I was either with Gu Nan before he died,
or someone watched him for me.
Even if they had contact with him,
there is only one will.
And the distribution of the inheritance
is already set in stone.
What tricks can they play?
It's here.
Director Su,
I've brought all of Chairman Gu's important papers,
certificates,
and his safes to you.
Thank you, Manager Lu.
Where does this piece go?
I can't find it in the blueprints.
When Dad and I built this, I recall
there wasn't a single piece left over.
And the main colors of this castle
are gray and beige.
This leftover red piece
doesn't seem to belong with these.
Was there only one extra piece?
Isn't it normal
for this type of toy to have a few extra pieces?
Are you two reading too much into this?
Mom, did anyone go through Dad's things
after he passed away?
Since he got very sick,
I was the only one who went into his room to clean it.
Only your dad
had access to that cabinet.
Oh, that's right. The maid told me
a couple weeks ago.
that he did go through
the old things in that cabinet
My father never did anything without a purpose.
This extra piece
must have important information.
Chairman Gu always had his reasons.
The number on this puzzle piece is 0407.
Do you know what it means?
"Zero, four, zero, seven"?
That is our wedding anniversary.
This is more evidence
that this extra piece
isn't a coincidence.
Your dad used to
like to play riddles all the time.
How about this? Let's go back now
and look for your dad's safes
to see if these numbers
are a passcode.
All right.
Manager Lu,
who gave you the authority
to take all the files
and the safes to Su Juan?
Madam,
now that Director Su has taken full control of Anxia,
it's appropriate to hand them over to him.
- You...
Mom.
Manager Lu, you can go back to work.
Thank you.
Mom.
This won't do. I must find Su Juan
and get everything returned here.
Mom, it won't be easy
to retrieve those things from Su Juan.
If we pay special attention
to the safes,
he'll become suspicious.
It's our honor to
collaborate with Anxia.
I'm also looking forward to this collaboration.
Mrs. Gu, you can't go in.
President Su is in a meeting.
President Su,
I'm sorry; I couldn't stop her.
Su Juan,
does the Mingyue Lake Resort villa
I bought with Gu Nan ten years ago
count as marital property?
He promised me t
hat the first three houses would be mine.
Where are the property ownership certificates now?
Mom, why are you making a scene here?
How embarrassing.
We don't want it anymore.
"Don't want it"?
Do you like being taken advantage of?
You don't want this or that anymore.
You're not even concerned that the company's been stolen from you.
- Now you don't even want the house—
Mrs. Fang, I have a guest right now.
Can we discuss these things later?
"Later"?
Should I wait till you secretly transfer the house to your name?
I'm telling you,
if you don't give me the property ownership certificate,
I'll sue you for embezzling property!
Mom, let's just go.
Go where?
If I can't get the property ownership certificate today,
I'm not going anywhere!
Director Su,
I see you have other matters to deal with right now.
Why don't we reschedule this meeting?
Please take care.
Su Juan, the property ownership certificate?
Auntie Fang,
I'll give you what you want,
but I hope
you can resolve everything this time.
If there's anything like this in the future,
don't make a scene at the company.
Father's things are all here.
Auntie Fang, do you remember which safe it was in?
It's been too long;
I don't remember.
I only remember
it was in an old
and rather large safe.
It's this one.
This one has many confidential files from the company.
I have limited time.
And I still have a lot of work to do.
These are Anxia's financial records for the past ten years.
I've checked.
There's nothing else.
It must be this one then.
This one contains the company seals.
Auntie Fang, you'd better think carefully.
Exactly where is it?
Mom, could it be the safe with the number 0407?
I remember Dad saying
that it contained
all the gifts he gave you.
That's right, it must be that one.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
It seems I don't have
what you two are looking for.
Please leave.
Let's go.
Don't forget to take your bag.
At first, I thought 0407 was a passcode.
But then I realized
it wasn't a passcode.
It was the number on the safe.
True.
That safe
was one we saw on a trip your father and I took.
When we saw t
hat its serial number matched our anniversary,
we thought it was fate.
So we bought it.
I can't believe
that after all your dad went through to leave a clue,
it was just an empty safe.
Dad would never do something
so meaningless.
Maybe someone already took
whatever was inside.
I'll go.
Lawyer Zhao?
Director Gu, is Mrs. Gu here?
She is.
Mrs. Gu.
Lawyer Zhao.
After you left the other day,
I double checked
Chairman Gu's will.
I was surprised to discover a problem with it.
Lawyer Zhao,
the will is inside.
No one should open it
until after I'm gone.
When Chairman Gu gave the will to me,
the string on the sealed envelope was slightly yellowed.
But the string on the will's current sealed envelope
is clearly brand new.
I didn't pay attention to it at the time.
The more I pondered, the more suspicious I became.
I suspect the will has been switched.
The one who would do
this is surely Su Juan.
But this is all speculation.
We have no solid evidence to prove
he tampered with the will.
Also, the clue Father left was useless.
Lawyer Zhao,
weren't you the one who always managed
Gu Nan's safes and files?
Not entirely.
I was only in charge of
his art collection and artifacts.
Do you have any recollection of
a safe with the number 0407?
Chairman Gu used that safe to store
something not long before his death.
He stored a painting.
"A painting"?
Working overtime every day, staying up late every night...
When will this ever end?
Don't slack off.
President Su's inauguration ceremony is soon.
There's still lots to do.
Our poor Director Gu
has been completely defeated this time.
Isn't Director Gu starting a new business?
Why don't we switch to his company?
That's right.
Maybe we can be
the first employees he hires.
We could even get some dividends.
True.
- Secretary Qiao!
Secretary Qiao!
What brings you here?
I happened to be in the area so I stopped by to say hello.
And I brought you some afternoon tea.
Thank you, Secretary Qiao.
- Thank you, Secretary Qiao.
Thank you, Secretary Qiao.
Pass it around.
Secretary Qiao, we were just mentioning you.
We heard that you and Director Gu
are starting a new business.
Do you still need people?
If you're willing to come,
I'll surely hire you.
What did I say? Thank you again.
Hello?
We'll be there in five minutes.
Another project meeting?
Secretary Qiao, we have to go now.
How long will you be gone?
Maybe I can wait for you.
About half an hour.
Wait for us then.
Okay. I'll wait for you.
- Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
- Go ahead.
We'll go now.
