Plot
50-year-old Liang Le Kun (Terence Cao) decides to retire as he has sufficient savings and his only son Liang Yong Xi (Shane Pow) has grown up. His younger sister Liang Le Ning (Tong Bing Yu) considers studying overseas. With his early retirement, Le Kun decides to revisit Sabah with his wife. During their trip, they ruined Xu Wen Jie’s (Pierre Png) plans by accident, causing Wen Jie to miss the chance to meet his dream girl. Le Kun’s daughter-in-law, Ou Yang Xuan Xuan (Jayley Woo), is being falsely accused of embezzling company funds. To help her, Le Kun forks out a large amount of his savings to hire a good lawyer, who turns out to be none other than Wen Jie. Wen Jie manages to win the case but requests a huge amount of payment for his work. To pay the hefty sum, Le Ning gives up her studying plans and uses her savings to pay off some of the fees. After many hardships, Le Kun finally realized that the safety and happiness of his family is what matter most in life.
