Episode 17 recap: Wang Meimei and Chen Chao are scheming against each other for money.
As soon as Chen Chao returned home, he poured a glass of drugged water and happily called Wang Meimei downstairs. Chen Chao gave Wang Meimei a bag and coaxed her into drinking the water he gave her. However, Wang Meimei sensed something suspicious when she saw Chen Chao acting so ambiguously, so she became wary of him. Wang Meimei questioned Chen Chao, asking why he was so generous to buy her a bag, especially considering that her bags were limited editions and very expensive. She doubted whether Chen Chao could truly afford them.
Chen Chao coaxed Wang Meimei and placed the bag he bought into her hands, instructing her to go inside and make sure she drank the water. Chen Chao handed the water to Wang Meimei and went to take a shower, thinking that once he finished showering, he could proceed with his plan. After Chen Chao finished showering, he saw that Wang Meimei was pretending to be asleep. He then began searching for the account book in the room, but Wang Meimei, who was feigning sleep, turned on the lights to disturb him as soon as he started to act.
When Chen Chao saw that Wang Meimei had turned on the lights, he realized that she hadn't drunk the water nor fainted. He could only coax Wang Meimei into giving him the account book. Wang Meimei demanded money from Chen Chao, refusing to give him the account book if he didn't provide the money. Chen Chao was left with no choice but to stand by the bedside and take out a bank card hidden behind the painting to give to Wang Meimei. Wang Meimei was ecstatic upon receiving the card and prepared to retrieve the account book for Chen Chao, continuously asking him if he had changed the password.
Chen Chao explained that the password was still Wang Meimei's birthday, but there was only one month's salary in the account, so he asked Wang Meimei to be frugal. When Wang Meimei heard that there was only a small amount of money in the account, she became angry and changed her mind, refusing to give the account book to Chen Chao and telling him to find a solution himself. Lili encountered Wang Pingguo at a bar and informed her about Chen Chao's intention to meet Wang Pingguo, preparing her mentally for it.
Wang Pingguo assured Lili that she would find a way for Chen Chao to meet her, and she asked Lili not to take any more risks for her sake. Lili felt grateful to Wang Pingguo and decided to keep the money Wang Pingguo had given her, intending to repay her favor when the opportunity arose. Years ago, Wang Pingguo encountered Lili being harassed at a restaurant and pretended to be her sister, threatening to call the police and urging the man to leave.
