FU-LOI and his brother put up a show to make YUEN believe he is his half-brother. YUEN wants to compensate FU-LOI on behalf of their father. So he tells FU-LOI their father has left a villa to him. He also invites FU-LOI to visit Hong Kong. MEI is giving an interview with a magazine. She goes to the family villa to look for some suitable clothes. NIN has found MEI’s diamond ring. Not wanting MEI to discover her late husband’s secret, NIN locks the ring up. She is caught red-handed by MEI nevertheless.

NIN is unhappy YUEN has invited FU-LOI to Hong Kong, thinking that he is causing himself trouble. FU-LOI bumps into SUM at a shopping mall as he is shopping with PO-LOI. YUEN shows FU-LOI and PO-LOI around the villa. MEI gives YUEN a good telling-off when he tells PO-LOI this villa will be his. YEUNG YIN-FUN, the CHEUKS’ family lawyer, is playing golf with CHUK when MEI suddenly shows up. The three of them are having an argument when TUNG LING-CHI ANGIE, CHUK’s daughter, who is a lawyer and has just returned from the UK, appears. YUEN is very bothered by MEI’s opposition. MEI announces that she is filing a lawsuit against YUEN and that CHI is her representing lawyer as soon as she has got home. NIN runs into ANGIE. What CHUK told her wedding day all comes back to her. SUM wants to see MING, her half brother. She goes to the hotel where he is staying but to no avail. As she turns around, she is surprised to see FU-LOI…

SUM plays with FU-LOI on the street. Their behavior attracts the attention of a police officer. YUEN offers to pay FU-LOI cash instead of the villa. FU-LOI is thrilled to bits. ANGIE dances with MEI. She persuades MEI into sending FU-LOI away with money. MEI has a meeting with FU-LOI. YUEN, FUN and ANGIE are also present. She flies into a rage when FU-LOI presents a birth certificate that proves he is HEI’s son. Seeing that the matter is getting more and more complicated, FU-LOI and PO-LOI return to Sabah. CHUK tells ANGIE what he told NIN on her wedding day. YUEN finds it strange that ANGIE’s attitude towards him has changed completely. She is accusing him in a car park as NIN drives past. The CHEUK family is throwing a Christmas party. ANGIE has a private conversation with NIN. MAN teases at SUM at the party, which drives her mad. FU-LOI lures MEI to go to Sabah with a trick.

FU takes MEI to a mountain. As they walk up, they see a man in HEI’s clothes. FU carries MEI on his back to run after the man. Later, they find HEI’s tomb. A toy merchant makes a racket at YUEN’s bank. He complains that the bank’s neglect has delayed the shipment of his goods. He demands the bank compensate for his loss. FUN and YUEN entrust the matter to ANGIE. ANGIE and her boyfriend, MATTHEW, look into the matter together and find… The matter is settled at last. YUEN invites ANGIE and MATTHEW home for supper.

MEI invites FU to Hong Kong. PO follows them. MEI tells her family members she has gone to Sabah to look for HEI. She adds that she has accepted “YAT-MING”, as she believes it was her late husband’s wish……

SUM opens the box FU gave her and finds in it a note inviting her out on the New Year Eve. She arrives at where they are supposed to meet but FU is not there. Minutes later, he shows up suddenly and gives her an expensive watch. They then smooch on the street. MAN, who has been following SUM secretly, is stunned to see this. MEI has invited MING to the family’s New Year Eve party. SUM is taken by surprise to see that FU and MING are the same person, whereas FU is astonished, too. Although SUM acts as if she is all right, everybody can see she is upset. MAN takes her to paraglide so as to cheer her up. MEI introduces FU to CHUK. The two old people enjoy FU’s company immensely. At HEI’s memorial, MEI and other family members share with one another their memories with HEI in the past.

MATTHEW proposes to ANGIE as they are shopping at a household store. To his disappointment, she tells him she has someone else on her mind. MATTHEW asks if that man is YUEN. MEI wants to appoint FU as director of the bank. YUEN agrees. However, when he tells MAN this he meets with his strong opposition. NIN casts a vote in opposition to the proposal in the directors’ meeting. As a result, the proposal is turned down. MEI is furious. YUEN appoints FU to be his assistant instead. It does not take FU long to grasp the power distribution in the bank with the help of TAI WING-LUK. PO works as an office assistant in the bank. The brothers are sharing with each other what they have seen on the first day at work when MAN shows up and blames PO for not doing his job well.

MEI is taken to the police station. ANGIE shows up in the identity of her lawyer and claims that she has found a witness who can prove MEI’s innocence. MEI is surprised that the witness is NIN. YUEN finds that his mother and wife have been reconciled, and that ANGIE has agreed to work as their family lawyer. FU is learning at the different departments of the bank. TAI YICK-YAN of the Investment Department is meeting a client. FU requests to go with her. SZETO FUNG, YAN’s boyfriend who is also the head of the department, accepts his request despite it is against the bank’s policy. FU talks the client into investing in a fund. When MAN asks about this later, FUNG shifts the blame onto YAN. MAN has asked FU to assess whether the bank should grant a loan to a company. FU works without rest to get the job done but MAN derides his efforts. SUM wants to stop MAN, but…

YUEN and ANGIE are going to Sabah for business. NIN is very disappointed, as YUEN will then not be able to celebrate with her their wedding anniversary. She is therefore excited when YUEN says they will celebrate in Sabah. ANGIE is taking a walk around the beach as she sees YUEN and NIN celebrating their anniversary. She cannot help but fancies herself as NIN. MAN tells FU to do a credit assessing again. He even bets SUM that FU will not be able to manage the job. SUM returns to the bank at the small hours of the morning to help FU and PO. NIN and YUEN are shopping with ANGIE when they bump into MATTHEW. NIN did not know until then that ANGIE and MATTHEW have broken up already. MAN expresses his love for SUM but she turns him down. Later when she hears him telling NIN how much he loves her, she changes her mind. FU has done SUM a favor at work. He grasps the opportunity to invite her to dinner……
