Episode 13 recap: Lin Shuang confesses to her parents that she wants a divorce.
Jiang Xi mentioned that if she voluntarily resigns, it would be akin to admitting that she was the one who leaked the information. Wei Ming stated that her employment contract was about to expire, and if she doesn't leave, she won't even have n+3. Jiang Xi asked if he couldn't give her another chance since she had been working there for so many years. Wei Ming replied that it was too late, and n+3 was the maximum extension he could offer. He hoped that she would complete the handover within a week.
Jiang Xi shared Wei Ming's words with Lin Shuang and asked her what she should do. Lin Shuang said she needed time to think. When Jiang Xi returned home, she found that Mi Xue had already packed her belongings. Helpless, Jiang Xi left with her things. In that moment, she recalled the scene of borrowing an umbrella from Wei Ming for the first time and felt deeply saddened. Unexpectedly, Ming Bo was waiting outside, and he accompanied her all the way back home.
When Lin Shuang heard the doorbell, she thought it was her parents returning, but instead, a group of tough-looking men entered. They were aggressive, and it was then that Lin Shuang learned that they had borrowed money at high interest rates for stock trading. Wei Mu said that if she lent him money now, he would definitely pay her back when he had the funds. Lin Mu barged in when he saw the door open, but the commotion caused Lin Fu to have a heart attack and collapse. In order to make them leave, Lin Shuang could only promise to repay the money. Once she confirmed that her father was not in danger, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xi messaged Lin Shuang to ask how she was doing. Lin Shuang informed her about her father being hospitalized, and Jiang Xi rushed over because she was worried. Jiang Xi expressed that if she had persevered for so long just for this sum of money, it would be too soft-hearted to agree to their demands so easily. They were merely exploiting this point. Lin Shuang said that she had no choice. She also acknowledged that she had become this way since that day. Lin Shuang told herself that even if she wasn't prepared, she had to face everything now.
Jiang Hai noticed his sister drinking alone and walked over to join her. He mentioned that he might still criticize himself, but Jiang Xi reassured him that he was doing fine and that even he knew it was time to go out after all these years. Jiang Hai was surprised to learn that his sister had lost her job. He offered to ask Lin Shuang for help, but Jiang Xi openly admitted that she wasn't sure if they were truly friends.
Lin Shuang asked Wei Fu about the stocks he had purchased, but he couldn't provide an immediate answer. It made Lin Shuang realize that Jiang Xi was right—they were taking advantage of her soft-heartedness. Ling Zong expressed that it would be a great achievement if they could cooperate with Panshi. Although the position of vice president was currently vacant, Wei Ming assured him that he would work hard to secure the collaboration.
Huang Jiayi's arrival at the company sparked discussions among colleagues. Wei Ming expressed his aversion to nepotism and stated that if she couldn't handle the job after three months, they could consider transferring her to another position. Huang Jiayi responded that they could discuss it after three months.
Wei Fu's hired individuals caused another disturbance, and Wei Mu continuously pleaded with Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang stated that people like them were engaging in illegal activities and advised Wei Fu to report them to the police. However, when the police arrived, Wei Fu immediately told them they didn't need to go to the police station. The two individuals then claimed they were there to help. Lin Shuang pointed out that if it was a misunderstanding, they should return the 250,000 yuan they had taken. Under Wei Fu's urging, Wei Mu reluctantly agreed.
Lin Shuang confessed her plan to divorce to her parents, who expressed that they understood her situation and reassured her that divorce wasn't a big deal. They were concerned not about her divorcing, but about her living her life aimlessly. Wei Ming returned home and immediately explained his parents' perspective to Lin Shuang, emphasizing that the most important thing now was for him to become the CEO. Jiang Xi witnessed Huang Jiayi losing her temper and advised her that her current behavior was not suitable for meeting clients.
At lunchtime, Lin Shuang messaged Jiang Xi, expressing her desire to meet at the gym. Lin Shuang informed her lawyer that although she was the weaker party in the lawsuit, she wasn't afraid at all.
