Heart of Greed Synopsis episode 34 to conclusion episode 40


August 12, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第三十四集 - 常在心：水擘擘是第三者

我终於知道为什么Alfred怎么都不肯讲第三者是谁。

自从在水擘擘家里看到Alfred send给她的e-card，我什么都想不到，脑里面只是一直浮现一首歌 - 容祖儿的《出卖》。

我一向都好眼浅，少少事都忍不住流眼泪，但是刚才我在西环码头，我真的哭不出，脑海里只是一直播着那首歌，repeat又repeat…到我的家楼下见到Alfred打得得地，怪他搞到我们分手，我真的好失望！为什么他可以恶人先告状？他已经抢走了我一个好朋友，还要赶走我第二个好朋友？！

他和我根本是两个世界的人，我不可以一错再错。

August 13, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第三十五集 - 细鲍：细契背夫偷汉

原来大契真的没有讲错，细契的本性有问题，她没得改了！细契搬来我们屋子两年，一直都无风无浪，但是日久见人心，这一阵，她开始无风起浪，屋里日日都给她搞到“家嘈屋闭”，她又整天同大鲍吵架，还弄到大鲍晕了！ 医生说大鲍中风了，但是细契还是不罢休，她特地找东西来同莉姨吵，她还说这一头家是她“话事”的，因为她两年前大鲍已经同她在瑞典结了婚！我们全家人都吓呆，想不到大鲍为了细契骗了我们这么久！既然细契已经得到名份，为什么她还要搞这么多事，我真是不知细契的心究竟想什么？！难道她真的想气死大鲍才安乐！ 如果大契在就好了！ 最不想发生的事终於都发生！我和莉姨找私家侦探查过，原来细契真的同常在心的阿哥常在德.…哎！他们真的不是人！我真的担心大鲍知道了之后会受不住刺激！ 我和莉姨决定找细契讲清楚，怎知道她死口不认，还坚持要分大鲍一半身家，莉姨气上心头，就骂她和常在德“有路”，细契就是这样抓住莉姨的那句话，要告她诽谤！

August, 14, 2008 :《溏心主角部落格》第三十六集 - 大鲍：天堂与地狱

今夜我在病床上哭了，回想起好多往事，妈咪对我的恩情，她离开我们之前对我的嘱咐。还有认识细契的经过，她入门时的情形，所有都像是昨日才发生， 历历在目。 三十几年前的细契还是个年青少艾的姑娘仔，搬来唐家住的时候，还带点害羞，说话也不敢大声，真想像不到如今会变成一个面目狰狞的魔鬼。 她同常在德两个想好了全盘计划来谋我的家产，我不知道他们会不会成功，但我好肯定她到最后一定会输去一样最重要的东西，就是亲情和爱。 四个仔女小的时候，好喜欢一得空就围住妈咪听妈咪讲故事，记得得得地曾经问妈咪，真有天堂地狱吗？妈咪答他地狱是有的，一个人没有了爱和真情， 就像活在地狱之中。 细契终有一天会后悔莫及！


August 15, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第三十七集 - 程亮：多谢常在心原谅我

常在心，好多谢你吹了首Vincent给我听，虽然我看不到你send给我的email，但是听到这首歌，我知道你已经原谅了我。

或者我走得太突然，你一时之间好难接受，但是得得地讲得对，哭有时，笑有时，快乐有时，悲伤有时，所以见到你帮我搞了个这么有意思的追悼会，又用我想的point打赢了单官司，我真的好开心。

其实我和得得地不熟，甚至连朋友都讲不上，但是为什么他帮我写的那篇日记，可以讲中完我的心声？我想原因只得一个，因为他同我一样，都是那么关心你。

以前我常叫你不好让得得地对你这么好，要清楚条界线在那里，不过现在，我好庆幸有他在你身边…

August 15, s008:《溏心主角部落格》第三十八集 - 细鲍：大鲍临终

为什么大喜之后总有大悲？！

唐心出世没多久，大鲍就再次中风了！我总是“形住”大鲍好快就要离开我们！为什么我们家的不幸总是没完没了！

我们收到徐医生的电话，他说今次应该是我们最后一次同大鲍见面！当我们赶到去医院，竟然见到细契，她坚持不给我们进去见大鲍！我同阿Gil商量过，现在大鲍昏迷，万一他醒来见不到我们，他一定去也去得不安乐！我们决定报警，但是细契都不肯罢休，幸好大鲍终於都醒了...

大鲍终於都可以见到我们安、逸、欢、欣四个仔女，他笑得好开心，还抱住唐心猛讲“凑仔经” …跟着他就笑住离开了我们！

大鲍...爸爸，细鲍好卦住你啊...好想再一次听到你的笑声！


August 16, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第三十九集 - 王秀琴：我好惊

争产官司正式开始。 我这阵子的精神好差，但是我在唐家那班人面前要扮到好镇定，一定不可以衰给他们看！其实我的心真的开始有点乱！为什么会这样呢，凌巧死了，唐仁佳都死了，唐家的人没有人会够我斗，但是为什么来到这个时候，我的心会这么不安定，可是因为我怕输！ 原来所有男人都是信不过的！记者揭发了Henry在两年前结过婚，他老婆才23岁，还生了对OI女，那就是代表他认识我之后才和那个女人结婚！讲真呀，其实我不是那么伤心的，直到这一刻，没有东西比我赢到这场官司更重要，我不会让任何事影响到我的心情！但是为什么我的手震得这么厉害？！ 为什么晚晚我睡下，我都眼光光，一合起眼睛，我就想起当日欢仔在记者招待会讲过的话，他说为什么凌巧不是他的亲生阿妈？！欢仔，你知不知道，虽然阿妈口口声声说当你已经少年亡，但是当我在法庭门口刮你一巴的时候，我的心真的好痛！为什么？！为什么连自己的亲生仔都不帮我？！


The conclusion of Heart of Greed - August 16, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第四十集 （大结局） - 大鲍：又有烟花放啦！

终於都等到今日啦！这一场争产风暴总算平息啦，人们总是说暴风雨后的阳光是特别和煦的！希望我们这头家经历过这么多事情之后可以更加团结，只要安、逸、欢、欣他们几个团结一致，我相信有什么困难都难不到他们的！！ 今日我同妈咪都收到一封信，是阿莉写给我们的！她向我们报佳音呀！她说阿琴知错了，他们已经原谅了她，同她做回一家人！希望阿琴好好地珍惜这个家啦！ 阿莉又说阿娇帮阿琴原来是想引她们讲假口供，妈咪真是没有看错，阿娇真是大个仔会想了！他的生意以后一定越做越好了！ 还有呀！得得地终於都同常在心在一齐啦！这个得得地有我优良的血统，一定可以抱得美人归的！不知几时我们唐家又会多个新成员呢？希望这一日快点到啦！！ 看完阿莉的信，我又忍唔住“HeHeHe”的笑… “又有烟花放啦！！”


August 16, 2008:《溏心主角部落格》第四十集 （大结局） - 大契：多谢大家

真的感恩。唐家这场惊心动魄的大风暴终於都平息了。雨后彩虹，又见安逸欢欣的笑脸。 相信有人会觉得这个结局不够大快人心。细契没有给常在德谋财害命，没有临老无依成了疯妇，反而得到安逸欢欣的谅解，重新接纳她。 但我却觉得这个结局很抚慰人心，细契为了一口怨气，迷失了自己几十年。在法庭外，她很想车死这个死有余辜的常在德，但她终於止住了，因为她想到自己成了杀人犯，以后便见不到欢仔。 也许人到了最后关头才会明白自己最须要的是什么。细契终於明白她最需要的不是六亿身家，不是什么，是亲情。 很多谢大家关心我们唐家这场风暴。愿大家都有一个美好温馨的家。希望有机会我们可以再见面。

Happiest moment is where Sheung Joi Sum (常在心)is married to Tong Chi On (唐至安)
