Episode 13 recap: Ye Fu pretended to be sick, and He Jia Ru returned the bankbook to him.
He Jia Ru remembered that he wanted to introduce Song Xiao to Tian Tian. Tian Tian always thought that the people He Jia Ru introduced were unreliable, but He Jia Ru believed that Song Xiao would definitely be interested in her. Ye Yi Fan's father and good friend went to the park to exercise together. His good friend kindly reminded him to be cautious when it comes to personal interests and not to be manipulated by his daughter-in-law.
During this time, Feng Dan has been hiding at Chen Li's house. Chen Li had already disconnected the internet at home, so Hou Yuan Yuan couldn't see anything. Chen Li learned that Han Jin Jin initially liked Feng Dan a lot, and their relationship was once very good. However, Han Jin Jin's attitude changed because Chen Li couldn't provide for their future child.
These days, Hou Yuan Yuan has been watching the surveillance cameras at home, but nothing unusual is happening. She doesn't dare to call Chen Li to inquire, as it would reveal that she is monitoring him. He Jia Ru and Ye Yi Fan returned home, and their father pretended to be asleep. He didn't want to interact with them directly. After they went back to their rooms, he quietly opened the gift given to him by his good friend.
The next morning, Ye Yi Fan went to work first and prepared milk for He Jia Ru. Suddenly, He Jia Ru heard Yue Le crying and calling for her grandfather. She hurriedly dropped her toothbrush and ran over, only to see her father's face covered in blood. He Jia Ru was terrified and immediately called Ye Yi Fan. Ye Yi Fan knew that his father was faking the illness and even asked He Jia Ru to smell the blood, and that's when He Jia Ru realized it was tomato sauce pretending to be blood.
Ye Yi Fan told her not to worry and go to school. He Jia Ru still felt reluctant to leave her father's side, but before leaving, she decided to return the money to him so as not to worry him. Her father knew that his plan had worked, so he quickly asked He Jia Ru to go on a business trip. On the way, He Jia Ru informed Ye Yi Fan about returning the money to her father.
At that moment, Ye Yi Fan was discussing buying a house with a seller. He thought everything was settled, but later received the news that He Jia Ru had returned all the money to her father, which made him very anxious.
The father took the bankbook and went to the bank to inquire if there was any money left inside. After some inquiry, he found out that his pension hadn't been touched, which put his mind at ease.
Hou Yuan Yuan still couldn't see the surveillance footage. She even pretended to call the property management, citing poor internet connection as the reason. However, she was informed that there were no issues with the network. Later, she called Chen Li and pretended that the property management wanted to come and fix the router. Chen Li came up with various excuses to brush her off. Feng Dan looked at the messages sent by Han Jin Jin, who mentioned that she would eventually find her. Feng Dan was completely frightened by the message.
He Jia Ru and Lv Jing, along with their team, had just arrived at their destination for a business trip when they unexpectedly encountered Song Xiao. Song Xiao greeted them proactively and arranged a higher-end hotel for them. Lv Jing couldn't believe that He Jia Ru knew someone like Song Xiao. Later, when she found out that Song Xiao was He Jia Ru's classmate from a training program, she praised He Jia Ru.
After Ye Yi Fan returned home, he accused his father of pretending to be sick just to get the bankbook. The father and son got into an argument over this matter. In a fit of anger, the father decided to pack up and leave. Ye Yi Fan knew his father was being stubborn and told him not to act recklessly. In the evening, Song Xiao specially arranged for He Jia Ru's team to have dinner together. Throughout the evening, He Jia Ru drank quite a bit. Because she drank too quickly, she hurriedly went to the restroom, and Song Xiao quickly followed.
Upon learning that He Jia Ru wasn't feeling well, Song Xiao brought her some soda water. He Jia Ru didn't want to be alone with Song Xiao and reprimanded him. However, Song Xiao insisted on escorting He Jia Ru back to the hotel. Ye Yi Fan started a video call with He Jia Ru, but she fell asleep within minutes. Ye Yi Fan went to drink with Chen Li, but Chen Li became concerned when he discovered that Feng Dan was at his house and hastily tried to send him away.
This old man feels quite selfish. After living with his son and daughter-in-law for ten years, doesn't he understand their character? Just for a sum of over 200,000 yuan, he's making such a big fuss. Comparing him to the mother of the female lead, who even lives on her own and wholeheartedly devotes everything for the family, it's really a stark contrast.
I disagree with the comment calling the old man selfish. This old man is already good enough. How would you feel if your family and friends treated you the same way? Yes, it's not intentional deception, but from the old man's perspective, it feels like they're trying to deceive him with their actions.
Does that mean elderly people should selflessly give their money to their children? How many parents have done that and ended up being neglected by their children? Of course, I also don't oppose those who are willing to give.
As for the statement that they've taken care of the old man for 10 years, well, if the old man wasn't good, could they have lived together for 10 years? Besides, they even took care of the children and cooked meals.
