Nick and Rachel drive to Malaysia together. Nick orders nasi lemak from a woman and little boy, speaking Malay. Rachel is surprised, but Nick downplays his ability to speak Malay. This frustrates Rachel because he downplays everything about himself. She asks him how rich he is, and he admits that he doesn’t really know. He explains that his family never discusses such things. Rachel feels a bit better knowing that the man she fell in love with is still the same. They head up a steep, winding road to get to his Ah Ma’s summer lodge. Nick is anxious to get there before sunset so he can propose.
When they arrive at the lodge, Nick is surprised to find that his mother and his Ah Ma are both waiting for them. Su Yi says that she heard that Nick is going to propose and tells him that he doesn’t have permission to marry Rachel because she doesn’t come from a proper family. Tired of being disrespected, Rachel turns to leave, but Nick stops her and defends her against his mother’s and grandmother’s accusations. Then, his mother claims that Rachel’s father is still alive and is in jail in Shenzhen. She reveals the stack of evidence that the private investigator gave her, including Rachel’s original birth certificate with the name Zhou Fang Min listed as her father.
