Episode 23 recap: Jiang Xi Seeks Help Everywhere for Jiang Hai
While riding a bike, Ming Bo kept looking back and asked Jiang Xi if Lin Shuang had any grievances against her. Jiang Xi clarified that she was actually praising Ming Bo and simply felt that they were different types of people. Jiang Xi reassured Ming Bo that she was overthinking things. Guo Guo asked Lin Shuang if all adults get divorced, mentioning a classmate who had two homes—one with their father and another with their mother. Guo Guo expressed her desire to stay with her mother if that were the case, and she revealed the incident of her chasing after her father and falling.
Jiang Xi received a call from the police and learned that the company she was working for had encountered some trouble. Jiang Xi expressed regret for reaching too high and now not knowing how to pay back the remaining 100,000 yuan out of the initial 400,000 yuan. Jiang Hai stated that he couldn't afford to go to jail. Jiang Xi questioned who he was being fair to, considering how much effort she had put in, and expressed her willingness to find a solution and help him repay the debt.
She started calling all their relatives and friends for money, but as soon as they heard it was a request for a loan, they hung up. Jiang Xi saw that their company had been sealed off and didn't know what to say. Helpless, she had no choice but to ask Ming Bo for a loan. Jiang Xi admitted that even if they pooled their money, it wouldn't be enough. However, she assured Ming Bo that she would figure something out and told her not to worry too much.
Huang Jiayi asked Wei Ming where she wanted to go for their honeymoon. Wei Ming straightforwardly replied that they could go wherever she wanted to. When she saw that Lin Shuang had become the project leader for the Panshi project, she was surprised because Wei Ming had previously referred to herself as a homemaker.
Jiang Xi had no choice but to find Lin Shuang. As he watched her busy herself and worry about money, he couldn't bring himself to speak up. He mentioned that he came here just to see her, the great engineer, and if she had time, he would visit Xiao Ping Guo.
Wei Ming found Gu Xu and expressed his hope that he would quickly cancel the personnel appointment for Lin Shuang. Gu Xu, as the president of Fangzhou, stated that he had no authority to interfere with Pan Shi's appointment. He also mentioned that Lin Shuang's ability to take on this project was entirely her own.
Everyone discussed the situation between Huang Jiayi and Wei Ming, but Huang Jiayi remained indifferent.
Upon hearing the news of her father's injury, Huang Jiayi immediately rushed back home. Her parents expressed their wish for her to no longer work at Fangzhou. However, Huang Jiayi insisted that she only wanted Wei Ming, and her feelings couldn't be changed by anyone.
Wei Ming informed his parents at home about Huang Jiayi being held captive by Huang Dong, but he assured them that it wasn't a serious matter. The key issue was that Lin Shuang was currently difficult to handle.
Just as Lin Shuang heard a knock on the door and opened it, Wei Fu and Wei Mu appeared. Wei Fu immediately complained about the poor conditions at Lin Shuang's place and how it would affect their child, Guoguo. Guoguo, being their precious child, couldn't eat takeout with Lin Shuang. Wei Fu suggested that if Lin Shuang didn't have time to take care of Guoguo, she should give custody to them. As a mother, she shouldn't be so selfish.
At that critical moment, Gu Xu walked in and expressed that their thinking was a bit lacking. Wei Mu noticed Gu Xu's familiarity with the situation and claimed that the reason she readily agreed to divorce was because she had found Gu Xu. She warned Wei Mu not to speak recklessly, but Wei Mu disregarded her warning. Lin Shuang had no choice but to drive them out of her home.
Wei Ming went to Huang's house to find Jiayi, but he was rejected. He mentioned that he came to deliver soup because Jiayi was unwell. Huang Mu stated that if Wei Ming was willing to leave Jiayi, he would help him in his career. Wei Ming expressed that his feelings for Jiayi were genuine.
Zhang Ma, witnessing the situation, took back the soup from Wei Ming. After hearing about it, Jiayi drank a few sips and asked Zhang Ma if she could help her.
Wei Mu returned home and was angry, claiming that they had never suffered such torment in their lives. She bluntly stated that Lin Shuang was neglecting Xiao Ping Guo and was unclear about her relationships with other men.
Upon learning that it was Gu Xu's doing, Wei Ming arranged for his subordinates to cause trouble for them. Lin Shuang returned to the company and served coffee to everyone, only then realizing the situation with Jiang Hai.
Jiang Xi and Jiang Hai arrived at the police station, where they overheard an elderly lady criticizing the company, which was a bit embarrassing. Jiang Xi noticed that Ming Bo had no reaction, so she called him to inquire about the situation. Ming Bo mentioned that he felt it was inappropriate to use his savings to repay Jiang Hai's debts. Jiang Xi wanted to leave with Jiang Xi, but they were stopped by someone. Jiang Xi claimed to be a regular employee and not the mastermind behind it all, and he was also prepared to repay the money.
Huang Jiayi heard a knock on the window and happily walked over to see the person, smiling.
