Episode 23 recap: Fu Xizhou and Fu Yun Shen went to Malaysia together.
Just as Zhu Jiu and Fu Yun Shen were about to kiss, Fu Yun Shen received a phone call from Chen Le, who wanted to ask if his proposal was successful. However, Fu Yun Shen didn't give a clear answer and instead said he had to go to the company immediately. He took the prepared watch with him and left. When Zhu Jiu's grandmother returned and saw Zhu Jiu's expression, she knew that things didn't work out. However, the grandmother still felt that Fu Yun Shen had good intentions, but Zhu Jiu felt that she hadn't made up her mind yet, and her grandmother always stood by Zhu Jiu's side.
Zhu Jiu and her grandmother cleaned up the dishes together. Her grandmother's back was hurting, so Zhu Jiu quickly asked her to sit down and rest. Zhu Jiu kept asking her grandmother, but her grandmother kept saying she was fine, even though it wasn't true. The day of Gu Ruan Ruan and Fu Xizhou's wedding arrived quickly. Gu Ruan Ruan had been looking forward to this day, and it finally came. However, there had been recent news reports about many children getting the flu, and the relevant departments were investigating. Fu Xizhou had been busy with work and couldn't answer Gu Ruan Ruan's calls. Chairman Jiang thought this was an important opportunity to find a problem with Fu Xizhou and even called his father to discuss Fu Xizhou's issues, even saying that Ling Tian would be ruined if things continued this way. His father told Chairman Jiang to continue handling the matter.
After finishing his work, Fu Xizhou saw that it was already 12:40, and his phone was filled with missed calls from Gu Ruan Ruan. Gu Ruan Ruan had been waiting for Fu Xizhou to come, but Fu Xizhou said he wanted to reschedule the ceremony. Gu Ruan Ruan was completely angry this time, feeling that Fu Xizhou had been stringing her along. Grandfather also saw many negative news about the company online, and he was extremely upset, which led to him collapsing.
Fortunately, Fu Yun Shen and Fu Xizhou quickly took grandfather to the hospital. Grandfather asked Fu Yun Shen to help investigate this matter with his brother, but Fu Xizhou left without saying a word. Fu Yun Shen assured grandfather that he would help his brother. To be on the safe side, Zhu Jiu took her grandmother to the hospital for a check-up. They found out that her grandmother had a rare disease for which there was currently no treatment. Zhu Jiu originally wanted to tell Fu Yun Shen about this, but she thought he was busy dealing with the company's issues, so she didn't want to disturb him.
Fu Yun Shen called Fu Xizhou over and shared the information he had gathered. Fu Xizhou also gave his own data to Fu Yun Shen. Gu Ruan Ruan had been waiting for Fu Xizhou until it was dark, and she was completely disappointed in him. She felt that she was not important at all in Fu Xizhou's heart, and her compromises had led to this kind of outcome.
Zhu Jiu still didn't know how to tell her grandmother about her condition. Seeing her grandmother waiting for her at the door, Zhu Jiu quickly asked her to come to the room. After returning home, Zhu Jiu ate the dumplings her grandmother had made, trying hard to hold back her tears. But her grandmother noticed that Zhu Jiu was acting differently. In fact, her grandmother also knew that her condition might not be good. At night, Zhu Jiu took the opportunity to sleep with her grandmother, wanting to spend more time by her side. Her grandmother asked Zhu Jiu if she was having trouble at work, and Zhu Jiu quickly denied it.
When Fu Xizhou returned home at night, Gu Ruan Ruan stopped him at the door. Gu Ruan Ruan felt like she had been following Fu Xizhou like a tail, and he was always preoccupied with work. Fu Xizhou promised Gu Ruan Ruan that he would arrange another ceremony for her, but Gu Ruan Ruan felt that she shouldn't be with Fu Xizhou anymore and left immediately.
Fu Xizhou and Fu Yun Shen went to Malaysia overnight to see the situation of children receiving the vaccine. The next day, Zhu Jiu told her aunt about this. Her aunt's initial concern upon learning about her grandmother's liver cancer was the cost of treatment. Her aunt was also very worried about her grandmother's condition and said she would go to the hospital with Zhu Jiu to inquire about the attending physician's opinion.
Gu Ruan Ruan, feeling upset, went to Zhou Zhi Zhi for comfort. Zhou Zhi Zhi could only tell lame jokes to cheer her up. Gu Ruan Ruan made up her mind to leave Fu Xizhou. Fu Yun Shen and Fu Xizhou went to the hospital to visit the children and personally apologized to the parents. Fu Yun Shen's attitude was very sincere, and he assured them that the vaccine was not fake. Fu Xizhou even offered money to the parents, which made them angrier. Fu Xizhou asked the parents for some time to investigate. After leaving, Fu Yun Shen and Fu Xizhou divided their tasks, hoping to find the cause of the vaccine error.
It turns out that it's not just children, even adults face many bewildering choices in the world. Fu Yun Shen is just like that, caught in the middle, with his lover on one side and his family on the other.
It's truly difficult. How can our Yun Shen break through numerous obstacles and reach the desired shore in his heart?
I really enjoyed this episode. Both the male and female leads are pursuing their careers in their respective fields. It captures the romantic atmosphere of Korean dramas while maintaining a sense of professionalism in the workplace.
It's truly a shining example of a modern romance. Just when they stood up again, they found themselves in another dilemma. Every time Fu Yun Shen gets hurt, my heart aches. Director, you certainly know how to keep the plot engaging without wasting any opportunities!
