Episode 21 recap: Mr. Gu, the father, passed away.

After Chen Sinan left, Mr. Gu tried to call Chaochao. However, he didn't notice the message on the side because he was playing the piano, so he missed the call. At that moment, Mr. Gu's old illness relapsed, and he thought of going upstairs to get his medicine. To his surprise, he saw Miss Ruan changing the medicine. He asked her why, and Miss Ruan explained that she had given birth to his daughter but only obtained the identity of a mistress of the Gu family in return. Mr. Gu was only concerned about his son and neglected everything else.

Due to fear, Miss Ruan accidentally pushed Mr. Gu off, causing him to suffer serious injuries. In his critical condition, Mr. Gu wanted to call Chaochao but realized he was still playing the piano. Miss Ruan was terrified upon witnessing Mr. Gu's death. She immediately called her lover, who advised her to leave quickly, as the police would surely find him. In the evening, Chen Sinan and Gu Lin Xing had hot pot together. Chen Sinan expressed his desire to stand under the brightest spotlight with her, but right after he said that, he received the news of his father's passing. He hurriedly rushed to the scene.

When Gu Lin Xing tearfully lifted the white cloth, he couldn't speak due to overwhelming grief. Chen Sinan looked at him with deep sympathy. Chaochao asked Miss Ruan what had happened, and she explained that Mr. Gu fell down the stairs due to a heart attack. She mentioned that the only person Mr. Gu had seen before the incident was Chen Sinan. The police nearby expressed their intention to perform an autopsy, which made Miss Ruan panic and argue that he was the richest person there and couldn't be dissected casually. Gu Lin Xing insisted on knowing the true cause of his father's death, regardless of the circumstances.
