Episode 10 recap: Lu Shan saw Gong Qi lose control.
Upon learning that Xu Ke Ji was targeting Pan Yue Yang's company, Lu Shan hurriedly went to find Lu Jiang and urged him to take this matter to heart. Lu Shan insisted that Lu Jiang must not stand by and watch Xu Ke Ji destroy the company that Pan Yue Yang had worked so hard to build. Just as Lu Jiang left, he received a call from Xiao Zhi, asking him to come over. It turned out that someone had anonymously reported Dai Zhi Yong, claiming that he was an undercover agent planted by Fei Ying in the police force. The report was well-written and seemed to be the work of an insider. Lu Jiang was entrusted with the task and was transferred to the Linjiang Narcotics Control Team to thoroughly investigate the case of Hou Ping An's disappearance.
Upon receiving the news, Lu Jiang learned that Xu Mai's car had been to the same place on the night of Hou Ping An's disappearance. Doubts arose in his mind, and he was also anxious about the engagement banquet scheduled for the next day. Xiao Zhi knew that Lu Jiang didn't like Su Pan, but Su Pan had feelings for Lu Jiang. Although they had agreed to an engagement as a formality, it was an irresponsible act for both Su Pan and Lu Jiang.
Helpless, Lu Jiang revealed Pan Yue Yang's cancer condition. He couldn't go against Pan Yue Yang's wishes at this time, or else it would be risking Pan Yue Yang's life. Su Pan knew that Lu Jiang would come back for dinner today, so she specially cooked a few dishes. However, when it was time for the meal, Lu Jiang didn't show up.
Pan Yue Yang worried that Lu Jiang might be absent tomorrow, so he asked Lu Shan to quickly call Lu Jiang and request a day off. Su Pan was concerned about disturbing Lu Jiang's work, so she suggested that Lu Shan have dinner first and make the call later. In the meantime, she also mentioned her desire to leave the company after it went public and open a private restaurant.
Aunt Wang believed that with the engagement tomorrow and the anticipation of having a child, Su Pan wouldn't have time to open a restaurant. Lu Shan felt uneasy upon hearing this and made an excuse to leave the table and call Lu Jiang privately. On the day of the engagement, Su Pan was determined to have Pan Wang come to the hotel. However, Pan Wang had been under stress and was having continuous seizures, causing chaos for everyone.
Lu Shan was worried that any delay could lead to changes, so he urged Su Pan to quickly go upstairs and change her clothes. However, Su Pan had already sensed that something was being kept from her at home, so she pressed Lu Shan for answers. Lu Shan wasn't good at lying and, under Su Pan's insistence, revealed that Xu Ke Ji was about to ruin the Pan family.
Upon learning this, Su Pan's heart sank, and she appeared exhausted.
Xu Mai specifically bought a car for Xu Jia Yin in the color that Xu Jia Yin liked. The siblings drove to Linjiang to find Xu Ke Ji and learned that the whole family was going to attend the engagement banquet together. Xu Mai initially didn't want to go, but Xu Jia Yin persuaded him, suggesting that they treat it as a family reunion dinner. Xu Mai agreed.
When Lu Jiang arrived at the hotel, it was already getting late. Lu Shan quickly arranged for Lu Jiang to change his clothes. Gong Qi happened to walk past Lu Shan, and upon seeing those familiar eyes, Lu Shan's heart stirred. He left Lu Jiang and turned around to find Gong Qi, but couldn't locate him anywhere.
Xu Jia Yin encountered Lu Jiang, who had changed into formal attire, at the hotel, and only then did he realize that Lu Jiang was the main character of the engagement today. He felt deeply disappointed. Su Pan happened to witness Xu Jia Yin and Lu Jiang talking and interrupted their conversation. It was then that Xu Jia Yin learned that Lu Jiang indeed had a cousin, and that cousin was his fiancée.
Xu Ke Ji arrived uninvited, and as soon as he saw Pan Yue Yang, they began belittling each other. Yan Qing Qing tried to mediate, but Xu Ke Ji brushed her off, and after exchanging harsh words, they temporarily fell silent. Xu Mai's expression changed when he realized it was Su Pan's engagement today. Ignoring everyone's gaze, he walked up to Su Pan and wanted to know if her engagement was truly because of love. Su Pan firmly answered yes, which deeply saddened Xu Mai, and he left in a daze.
Xu Ke Ji came to the engagement banquet today and prepared a grand gift for Pan Yue Yang. With a command, it turned out that the supervisors responsible for Pan Group's acquisition of Yuanke all stood up. Pan Yue Yang didn't expect Xu Ke Ji to have secretly bought off so many people and was extremely annoyed. He immediately declared that from today onwards, he would spare no expense to acquire Yuanke.
Xu Ke Ji knew this was Pan Yue Yang's counterattack, and his face darkened. He promised that once the acquisition of Yuanke was successful, the salaries of these supervisors would be doubled. Yan Qing Qing felt that Xu Ke Ji's approach was inappropriate and suspected that Pan Yue Yang had planted spies among them. However, Xu Ke Ji had no intention of listening to her. He got into his car and left.
Xu Mai didn't want Yan Qing Qing to confront Xu Ke Ji head-on, so he quickly held her back as she tried to chase after Xu Ke Ji and led her away. Lu Shan couldn't find Gong Qi anywhere, so he went back to find Lu Jiang. Just as he was about to pull Lu Jiang aside to talk, Pan Yue Yang spoke up and forbid them from leaving because the ceremony was about to begin.
