Episode 29 recap: Shen Mi took Tian Tian home to meet his mother.
Shen Mi called everyone together for a meeting and announced that he had registered Tianlin Animal Hospital for the pet veterinary competition organized by Green River. The competition was held to compete for a spot in the Green River pilot hospital and consisted of preliminary rounds and finals. Shen Mi introduced the competition to everyone and expressed their goal of winning the championship to secure a spot in the Green River pilot hospital.
Dr. Chen asked what rewards they could receive. Shen Mi stated that if they could secure a spot in the pilot hospital, their salaries would increase by 40%, and their bonuses would double. Dr. Chen and the others were very excited. Tian Yu Xian expressed lack of confidence in the pet grooming category in both the preliminary rounds and finals.
Shen Mi reassured Tian Yu Xian that her skills were already excellent. Tian Tian's aunt also mentioned that many customers had praised Tian Yu Xian's skills, encouraging her to have confidence. Shen Chen approached Shen Mi, feeling that he had gone too far. He had repeatedly claimed that nothing would happen between him and Tian Tian, but in reality, he had been involved with Tian Tian while they were living together.
Shen Mi decided to tell Tian Tian about this. He revealed that Shen Chen was his younger brother and that Shen Chen's father owned Happy Pet. Upon hearing this, Shen Chen became conflicted and didn't dare to tell Tian Tian these things. Shen Mi clarified that he and Tian Tian were not involved romantically, which reassured Shen Chen.
Tian Tian came to inform her aunt that Shen Mi had asked him to have dinner with his mother yesterday evening. Tian Tian's aunt was extremely excited. Previously, Tian Tian had brought Shen Mi home to meet his parents, and now Shen Mi was bringing Tian Tian to meet his mother. This was the rhythm of meeting the parents.
Tian Tian became anxious under the pressure from his aunt. His aunt took Tian Tian out to buy a gift and wanted him to buy a bracelet. Tian Tian felt that giving a bracelet might not be appropriate, so they went to a nearby store and bought a pillow instead. Tian Tian thought it would be nice to give Shen Mi's mother a sleep aid pillow since she had mentioned having trouble sleeping.
Tian Tian's aunt took him to buy clothes. Tian Tian felt that one particular piece of clothing looked too old-fashioned, but his aunt believed that it was perfect and would make him appear mature and stable. His aunt casually removed the price tag, saying that since the tag was gone, they had no choice but to buy it. Tian Tian felt helpless in the situation.
Shen Mi brought Tian Tian home, and Tian Tian felt that he might appear too old-fashioned in his life. However, Shen Mi thought it was fine. After arriving at Shen Mi's home, Han Meng Nan came to open the door, which made Tian Tian feel embarrassed.
Shen Mi's mother greeted Tian Tian and felt that Tian Tian looked older than Shen Mi, which made Tian Tian even more embarrassed. Shen Mi presented the prepared lavender-scented pillow to his mother, and she became very excited.
Shen Mi told Tian Tian that his father used to love lavender the most, but after his father passed away, his mother couldn't stand lavender anymore. Tian Tian was not aware of these details. During the meal, Shen Mi's mother asked Shen Mi when he would marry Han Meng Nan.
Tian Tian made an excuse to go to the restroom, and Shen Mi left him behind. Han Meng Nan supported Shen Mi's mother and walked away. Shen Mi's mother expressed that she had already regarded Han Meng Nan as her daughter-in-law in her heart and had always liked Han Meng Nan since Shen Mi was a child.
Han Meng Nan noticed a piano here, which was Shen Mi's childhood piano. Han Meng Nan played a piece on it, but the strings were damaged by Shen Mi when he was young. Han Meng Nan looked for a shop to repair the piano. Although the materials used for the piano were old, it could still be repaired, but the cost was high. Han Meng Nan said she didn't mind the price and insisted on getting it fixed today.
Tian Tian cried to his aunt, expressing that he was not prepared for this and felt looked down upon by Shen Mi's mother, who saw him as just a small private doctor.
