Episode 31 recap: Gu Xu, fueled by alcohol, expressed his feelings to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang expressed her gratitude to Wei Jie for helping her at a critical moment. Wei Jie said that helping her was helping their future selves. The financing matter has already been settled, so now is a good time to relax and enjoy. Lin Shuang immediately said she would wait for her to come back. Gu Xu originally wanted to say something to Lin Shuang, but she fell asleep. When Lin Shuang returned home, she said she was leaving first. Gu Xu straightforwardly said that he had something to say. However, Lin Shuang saw Xiao Ping Guo's phone call and said they could talk about it tomorrow. Gu Xu could only promise her. After Gu Xu left, Lin Shuang came out again.
Jiang Hai saw his mother and immediately asked what was wrong. She said she was sick and couldn't reach Jiang Hai Xi's phone. Now she only has him. Wei Ming saw that Jiang Xi had obtained the core technology and immediately called Wang Lei, asking him to come in. Lin Shuang received the materials sent by Jiang Xi and expressed her gratitude.
Gu Xu saw it and told Lin Shuang that there are significant risks in taking shortcuts like this. It's no different from gambling. Lin Shuang hoped that Gu Xu could understand her. She would only make a profit if she sold P3. Gu Xu said she should consider the risks behind it. Lin Shuang bluntly said that the last thing she lacked was someone to criticize her.
Jiang Xi originally wanted to leave some money for Jiang Hai, but instead saw her mother's hospital records and couldn't help but cry. When she saw Jiang Hai, she had to hold back her tears. Jiang Hai said that once she recovered, he would take her out for a nice meal. Jiang Xi went to the hospital and saw her mother in pain, and when she heard her say she would sue her for abandoning her, Jiang Xi put down what she was holding and walked away. Jiang Xi felt frustrated and went to a bar to drink. Ma Ding followed her there, and Jiang Xi opened up about her unfortunate childhood. Ma Ding said that when you can't see the direction of the wind, you can cross out the unnecessary things and find the real answer. Jiang Xi asked if he was just taking her story lightly.
Colleagues at work noticed that Gu Xu looked unhappy and immediately asked if he had a fight with Lin Shuang. Gu Xu asked how they knew, and the colleagues said that they should be the only ones who knew and thought they had hidden it well.
When Lin Shuang arrived at the company, she saw Gu Xu being affectionate with the colleagues, which made her feel awkward, so she went downstairs. The colleagues followed and told Lin Shuang that Gu Xu had always liked her, and if she wasn't worried about him, she should leave him alone. Lin Shuang had no choice but to go back.
Gu Xu mentioned that she was leaving, but Lin Shuang didn't say anything and just brought her a glass of water. Lin Shuang asked what else he could say besides "okay," and she expressed her gratitude. Gu Xu honestly stated that she knew he didn't want just a word of thanks. After Lin Shuang tucked him in, she left.
After seeing her sister, Jiang Hai hid the lunchbox and gave her 10,000 yuan. She said that if it was such a big deal, Jiang Hai shouldn't have kept her in the dark. Jiang Hai insisted that she consider it as a loan. Jiang Hai Xi asked her not to tell their mother because she didn't want any connection with him.
Ming Bo asked if Wei Ming and Jiang Xi had offended him, as they went to great lengths to reveal the bidding documents to him. Wei Ming told him not to inquire too much.
Huang Jiayi was angry after learning about Wei Ming's fraudulent behavior, but he claimed that he did it for her and their child, and he promised there wouldn't be another time.
Lin Shuang took Guoguo to visit their grandparents, and that's when she found out that it was Wei Ming who arranged for them to stay there. Lin Shuang felt a bit sad and asked them to pack up and leave with her. Wei Fu was worried that Wei Ming would be angry after finding out that Lin Shuang used his credit card to book the room. However, Lin Shuang said that she would take a photo with them and share it on her social media. That way, everyone would know that she was a filial daughter and wouldn't make them move out. Wei Mu thought it was a great idea and pulled Wei Fu's sleeve, and they took a picture together with Guoguo.
The plot is too melodramatic. In reality, who would be so kind to the third party who destroys their own family? Regardless of the original family background of the third party, it is not a valid reason for being involved in a love triangle.
Moreover, didn't they find out later that the male lead had a family and yet they didn't break up? I don't understand how such dramas gain such high popularity, and it's truly outrageous that some people empathize with the third party.
Wei Ming, a character who wouldn't learn unless faced with consequences. In the final episode, his fantasies and the happiness of Lin Shuang's daughter were portrayed. Witnessing Guo Guo playing ice hockey and leaving behind her toys with a sad expression, it tugs at the heartstrings just a little bit.
However, there's a saying that goes, "Pity the person who deserves pity, but despise the person who deserves contempt." If Wei Ming hadn't started off with infidelity, deceit, and the subsequent events, it would have been a great TV drama.
It's definitely worth watching.
In real life, housewives don't have such a perfect program for a comeback. It takes loving and highly educated parents, good cultural background, basketball skills, parents helping with childcare, and friends and neighbors lending a hand.
These are not the resources and support available to someone who has no connections and has to rely solely on their own efforts, starting from scratch as an ordinary mom.
Though I am one of those who are striving hard, it is precisely because I am that I understand the difficulties and hardships involved.
If possible, I don't want any middle-aged moms to go through this, and I don't want young women to walk this path in the future. Life is unpredictable. I wish everyone the best and let's strive together.
This Wei Ming is too selfish and narrow-minded. The saying goes, "Don't chase small profits and miss out on big gains." Knowing that Huang Jia has so much wealth and resources in her family, why doesn't he have the decency to divorce?
Even if they split the assets evenly, what difference would it make? Are you afraid you won't be able to earn the money you get from the divorce after marrying Huang? I don't understand why you have to make everyone join forces against you to feel comfortable.
The female lead is much better than real-life housewives. At least she has an education and has had work experience. The only thing that actually hinders her is the issue of children. In real life, if you have no education, no specific skills, no work experience, and you're middle-aged, even if you know your husband is having an affair, you don't have the confidence to expose it or ask for a divorce.
I can really relate to this situation. Back when I discovered that he was cheating on me and having an affair, he did the same thing—blaming me in every possible way and even accusing me of invading his privacy for checking his phone.
He would verbally abuse me and even resort to physical violence. During my confinement period after giving birth, taking care of the baby was difficult. I would stay up late at night, feeling anxious and craving food in the morning, but he never bothered to buy anything for me.
And when he returned from his affairs, he would expect me to leave with the child! I couldn't go back to my parents' home, and his family was no home to me either.
It's really a lot of helplessness and frustration!
