Episode 8 recap: Jiang Xi intends to test Wei Ming.
Lin Shuang knew that her father was injured and immediately rushed over. Her father expressed that he didn't want to cause her trouble, considering how busy she was all day. Wei Ming called her and questioned where she had been, especially since her father was undergoing a gastroscopy.
Lin Shuang explained that her father was hospitalized, and she was in the hospital ward. Gu Xu expressed that he thought she would be his biggest competitor after returning to the country, but he didn't expect this outcome. Wei Ming went to the hospital and found Lin Fu to ask why they didn't inform him. Lin Mu explained that even Lin Shuang had to take care of her father, and told him what was going on. Wei Ming expressed surprise at Gu Xu's sudden return, and by the looks of it, the hospital staff even mistook him for her husband.
Wei Ming took Lin Shuang home and suggested that she apologize to her parents when she returned. Lin Shuang asked where he was going, and Wei Ming said he had work to do. He emphasized that everything he did was for their better life. Lin Shuang returned home and looked at the sleeping Guo Guo. She recalled when she told her mother she wanted to quit her job, and her mother strongly opposed it. Although Lin Shuang said she didn't want to miss out on her child's growth, her mother bluntly asked why she was the one making sacrifices instead of Wei Ming. Lin Shuang mentioned that she would only be a full-time mom for three years, and after that, she would return to the workplace. Her father expressed that he didn't put in so much effort just for her to come home and cook and do laundry. Lin Shuang said she wouldn't regret it, but now she truly regretted it. However, as a mother, even regret was wrong.
While picking up and dropping off clients, Lin Shuang heard that Panshi Company was hiring. She immediately remembered that she had a classmate working in that company as a planner and thought she could introduce her if she had the chance. After finishing with the clients, Lin Shuang went to Panshi Company. She explained that she had just learned about the job opening and didn't have a chance to print her resume. The person there mentioned that the position was only for recent graduates. Upon realizing she had no opportunity, Lin Shuang left. However, she encountered a fellow mom in the restroom and promptly extended a helping hand. In the process, she accidentally left her resume in the restroom.
In the elevator, everyone was discussing the newly appointed CEO, Gu Xu. Feng Kai successfully secured a big deal, and everyone felt that he had a chance to be promoted to vice president.
When Lin Shuang realized that Wei Ming couldn't make it, she decided to take a taxi and go home with Wei Fu and Wei Mu. Wei Mu was somewhat displeased with Lin Shuang's actions. Jiang Xi heard that the company was going to hold a family gathering, but Wei Ming specifically mentioned that she didn't have any family members, so she didn't need to go. Everyone wondered when Wei Ming had offended others, which piqued Wei Ming's curiosity.
Gu Xu appeared just in time to take Lin Shuang and her in-laws home. Jiang Xi overheard gossip in the company, claiming that she had tried to get close to Wei Ming but failed, which is why she was treated so poorly now. Jiang Xi approached Wei Ming and asked her why she didn't let her attend the gathering. Wei Ming mentioned that she would be bringing Lin Shuang along, and it would be awkward for Jiang Xi.
Lin Shuang told Jiang Xi that Wei Ming's plan was really cunning. If the truth were exposed, everyone would think she was a shameless "third party" trying to seduce a good man. Jiang Xi told her not to spread baseless rumors and sow discord.
Guo Guo asked her mother if she was unhappy about going on vacation, and Lin Shuang wondered how she could tell. Before leaving, Lin Shuang sent a message to Jiang Xi, saying that if she wanted to test Wei Ming's sincerity, today would be an opportunity not to be missed. Guo Guo said that if it weren't for her dress, she would definitely win first place. Everyone urged Wei Ming and her husband to participate in the competition. Lin Shuang said she wasn't feeling well, but under everyone's repeated invitations, she had no choice but to go on stage. However, she suddenly remembered Wei Ming's affair and became absent-minded, causing Wei Ming to stumble and fall.
Jiang Xi received a phone call from her mother asking for money and felt helpless. Thinking about Lin Shuang's words, she realized that tonight was indeed the best opportunity to test Wei Ming's sincerity. Wei Ming still introduced Lin Shuang to everyone and pretended to be affectionate in front of them. Lin Shuang said that if it's almost over, she wanted to go back. Wei Ming asked her to hold on a little longer. For the sake of his career, Wei Ming took his wife and daughter everywhere for marketing. Lin Shuang felt uneasy listening to Wei Ming's words. At that moment, Jiang Xi appeared, and everyone was captivated by her beauty. When Wei Ming saw Jiang Xi, he immediately followed her. She confessed that she just wanted to see him and didn't want to share him with anyone else. Wei Ming bluntly stated that he didn't care about love and that the game was over from now on.
