Episode 23 recap: Xu Mai's disappearance worries Xu Jiayin.
Shi Diwen sought out Jia Lin to remind him to quickly obtain the prescription from Lu Gaoyuan. Jia Lin was hesitant and tried to avoid the matter, but his boss Gall was very insistent on obtaining the prescription. Jia Lin and his boss had previously collaborated with Gall, and now Gall had leverage over them. Jia Lin had no choice but to cooperate. Shi Diwen warned Jia Lin to act quickly and then left. Lu Jiang covered Wu Yidong's shift for two hours. After Wu Yidong and Xu Jiayin finished their meal together, they returned and Wu Yidong reported to Lu Jiang that Xu Jiayin was worried because Xu Mai had gone missing and Yan Qingqing was seriously ill.
That night, Lu Jiang went to Xu Jiayin's place to wait for her. When Xu Jiayin returned late at night and saw Lu Jiang, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. Lu Jiang stayed with Xu Jiayin overnight because she had a fever. The next day, when Xu Jiayin woke up, she learned that she had a high fever of 39 degrees the previous night but refused to go to the hospital. She knew she must have said a lot of nonsense.
Lu Jiang remembered Xu Jiayin mentioning Xu Mai, Xu Keji, and Yan Qingqing, but Xu Jiayin didn't say a word about himself. In fact, Xu Jiayin remembered that she had mentioned last night that Lu Jiang was investigating a case related to the Xu family. She felt that she shouldn't have a close relationship with Lu Jiang now and should keep her distance.
Lu Jiang poured a glass of water for Xu Jiayin and told her that he knew a very good psychiatrist he could recommend to her. He hoped that Yan Qingqing's condition would improve and promised to do his best to find Xu Mai. He assured Xu Jiayin that he would inform her as soon as there was any news.
Wei Hongjun learned that Xu Mai had disappeared after moving out of the company dormitory. He began to doubt their previous judgments about Xu Mai. Lu Jiang believed that finding Xu Mai was the top priority, and they quickly took action. Wu Yidong kept watch all night and saw Jia Lin being picked up by a company car in the morning.
Hou Kuai Le called Lu Jiang and asked to meet him. Based on her tracking investigation of Dai Zhiyong during this period, she believed that Dai Zhiyong had no connection to Hou Ping An's disappearance. Xu Jiayin couldn't find Xu Mai and went to the company to find Xu Keji. She found Xu Keji lying on the couch without eating, and she was worried about his health. Xu Mai's situation had become like this, and Xu Keji had an undeniable responsibility.
Xu Jiayin asked Xu Keji how to divide 100% of love for their current family. Xu Keji knew he was incompetent and couldn't speak up. At this moment, Xue Ning called, but Xu Keji didn't dare to answer. Unable to withstand Xu Jiayin's urging, he finally answered the call.
Through one sentence from Xu Keji, Xu Jiayin understood that their child abroad was sick. She straightforwardly revealed that she already knew about Xu Keji's situation. She also informed Xu Keji that she had put the house in Jiangshan up for sale and would return the money to him when it was sold. As for the car, it would also be sold after finding Xu Mai, and the money would be returned to Xu Keji.
Xu Keji didn't expect Xu Jiayin to make this decision and strongly disagreed. However, Xu Jiayin believed that she had grown up and could support herself. Just as Lu Jiang learned that Shi Diwen had gone to find Jia Lin, he received a call from Wang Jie, who said that Su Pan was hiding in her room and refused to come out no matter how she knocked on the door.
Lu Jiang became extremely anxious and rushed to the Pan family's house. After repeatedly knocking on the door without any response, he kicked open the door and found Su Pan in a dazed state, repeatedly combing her hair, and the cabinet on the bed was filled with bottles of sedatives. Lu Jiang reproached Su Pan for indiscriminate and excessive use of medication. Seeing that Su Pan showed no response, he quickly took her to the hospital, luckily finding out that there was no major problem after a medical examination.
Looking at Su Pan lying on the hospital bed, Lu Jiang finally understood what Pan Yueyang meant when he said that Su Pan couldn't live without him. Xu Jiayin followed Jia Lin to the house where Xu Mai used to live and found it extremely messy, not only with cigarettes and alcohol but also other things.
Yan Qingqing used to have strict requirements for Xu Mai and never allowed her to smoke or drink. Xu Jiayin couldn't understand why Xu Mai had undergone such a drastic change. Jia Lin attributed Xu Mai's changes to Xu Keji, believing that Xu Keji had too little communication with Xu Mai and was too strict.
Lu Jiang learned that Shi Diwen had connections with Lu Gaoyuan and deliberately sought out Lu Gaoyuan to understand the situation. He learned that Shi Diwen was a poor scholar who came to Linqingjiang to visit Jia Lin. At the same time, he had academic exchanges with Lu Gaoyuan. Lu Gaoyuan was researching a new type of drug for addiction treatment and had some concerns.
Gong Qi prepared a gift for Xu Jiayin to thank her for timely stopping Lu Shan and saving Jiang Yue. At the same time, he believed that Xu Jiayin and Lu Jiang were a very suitable couple, which made Xu Jiayin happy.
