Episode 22 recap: Lin Shuang is Forced to Move
Jiang Hai's store exceeded its performance target, and as a reward, the headquarters appointed him as the regional sales manager and granted him a cash bonus of 100,000 yuan. Jiang Hai could only treat everyone to a meal to celebrate. Jiang Xi and Ming Bo praised Jiang Hai's achievement and commented on how romantic he was as a boyfriend.
When Jiang Hai returned home, he gave his card to Jiang Xi, stating that he had earned the money himself. Jiang Xi approached him and asked what was going on. Jiang Hai explained that he had earned 100,000 yuan. Jiang Xi shared this news with Ming Bo, who commented that Jiang Hai's protective nature was too strong and it was normal for the company to expand into a nationwide chain.
After conducting several investigations, Lin Shuang consulted a lawyer and discovered that their assets had been transferred out. Now, no matter how busy she was, she had to tolerate Wei Ming to some extent. When Lin Shuang saw someone coming to collect the house, she couldn't bear it and went directly to Fangzhou.
She asked Wei Ming what she should do now. Wei Ming suggested giving her some money to cover the down payment for a small house and said that they were both respectable people who didn't need to make a scene over material possessions.
Lin Shuang expressed her disappointment, stating that he was really despicable and that she wouldn't easily sign away custody of Xiao Ping Guo to him. Then, she called Jiang Hai and, after viewing the house, expressed her satisfaction. She asked why their company offered a lower price than the market value.
Jiang Hai said he wasn't sure about that but hoped they could quickly sign the contract if Lin Shuang was satisfied because the house was in high demand. When Lin Shuang returned home, she asked her parents if they could help take care of Guo Guo for a while.
Her parents thought she had nowhere to go and assured her that it was not a problem to stay with them for a while. However, Lin Shuang reassured them that she had already made arrangements and was currently in the process of renovating her new place.
Guo Guo suddenly came out and expressed her desire to hear her father tell a story. Lin Shuang, thinking of Wei Ming's determined appearance, became angry. She then yelled at Guo Guo. Guo Guo's mother scolded Lin Shuang, saying that she shouldn't yell at the child no matter what. While Lin Shuang and Wu Zong were arguing, Wei Hai took the opportunity to call Wei Ming and learned that he had bought a house in New Zealand. When Wei Ming came to his senses, he called Wu Jiansen, knowing it was him and didn't suspect anything.
During dinner that evening, Jiang Hai expressed his surprise at how well they coordinated. Lin Shuang and Jiang Xi were tidying up their new home. Guo Guo asked Jiang Xi why they were moving, and Jiang Xi explained that moving was necessary for growth. Jiang Hai went to see the house and was approached by the landlord, who asked when he would pay the rent. Jiang Hai didn't understand the situation but couldn't leave, so he called Lin Shuang to say that he couldn't rent the house temporarily. While Lin Shuang was organizing things, the buyer of the house barged in and expressed the desire for them to move out as soon as possible. The house was intended for her son's wedding, so she needed to renovate it today. Wei called Lin Shuang to discuss the specifics of the divorce. Lin Shuang reluctantly went over. Wei Ming's lawyer stated that he had only 1 million in savings to give her half. The lawyer mentioned that her overseas property assets added up to around 15 million, and now they had evidence of Wei Ming's affair. Therefore, they hoped to get 60% of the property in the divorce settlement.
When Lin Shuang returned, Gu Xu said that he had already found a house for them and brought Lin Shuang to see it. Lin Shuang remarked that the house was really nice and must be expensive. Gu Xu explained that it was indeed cheaper because they needed to sell it quickly. Jiang Hai returned to the company and inquired about the previous house matter. The manager said it was an accident but would be resolved soon. Jiang Xi, Ming Bo, and Lin Ming Bo suggested going for a more upscale meal if Lin Shuang came. After dinner, Jiang Xi asked Lin Shuang what she thought of Ming Bo. Lin Shuang said that although she couldn't guide her emotionally, as long as she was determined, she believed she would succeed.
