Episode 33 recap: Feng Dan confessed to Chen Li after their divorce.
Ye Yi Fan personally went to pick up He Jia Ru and even called Chen Li on the way, asking him to come to his place for dumplings since he was the only one at home now. Hou Yuan Yuan returned to her parents' house, where the atmosphere was great. After Ye Yi Fan came home, they all enjoyed delicious dumplings together.
Tian Tian also finished making dumplings when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Lino opened the door and found an incubator outside. You Nuo's first reaction was that their father had returned, as only he knew this secret. Lino received a text message from Tian Dong, who asked if they really wanted to celebrate the Lunar New Year there. Lino had to leave in a hurry.
Chen Li was already drunk at the fast-food restaurant. To avoid others noticing he was drinking, he even used a mineral water bottle. Since the restaurant was about to close, the staff had no choice but to open Chen Li's phone. Coincidentally, Feng Dan had messaged him, so the staff took the opportunity to call back. Upon learning that Chen Li was drunk, Feng Dan hurriedly rushed over.
Feng Dan felt uneasy, so they called Chen Li's daughter, Jia Qi. Hou Yuan Yuan, thinking it was Chen Li, was surprised to find out that it was Feng Dan on the phone. Hou Yuan Yuan scolded Feng Dan and even hung up, adding Chen Li's phone number to the blacklist.
He Jia Ru watched the fireworks in the sky and felt melancholic because of work. Ye Yi Fan came in to accompany her. He Jia Ru still believed that if it weren't for the fire, their family would have a joyful Lunar New Year. However, the fire extinguished all their hopes.
Ye Yi Fan continued to comfort He Jia Ru, as they couldn't control these things. It was a new year, and they needed new hopes. The next morning, Chen Li woke up in bed and stumbled out of the room to find Feng Dan in his house, who had prepared breakfast for him.
Feng Dan initially planned to go abroad to continue studying but received a call from Chen Li. Feng Dan also mentioned their divorce. At first, Feng Dan was hesitant, but after their mother's death, they realized the truth. Although the house and company belonged to Feng Dan, Han Jin Jin wanted to claim them for themselves.
However, their mother had never approved of their marriage over the years. Feng Dan collected evidence of Han Jin Jin's infidelity and abusive behavior, so they were determined not to stay with them. Feng Dan also knew that Chen Li and Hou Yuan Yuan were going through a divorce. They expressed their willingness to be with Chen Li if things reached an irreparable point.
Ye Yi Fan drove He Jia Ru to work, and downstairs he continued to cheer and encourage his wife. The accident had caused immeasurable losses, and He Jia Ru was willing to accept the company's punishment. Ye Yi Fan arrived at the office and called Chen Li aside. Given the previous work mistake, just keeping the job would be considered good enough, let alone changing houses. Chen Li also informed Ye Yi Fan about Feng Dan's divorce from Han Jin Jin, something that Ye Yi Fan had already suspected.
This time, Lv Jing could be considered the ultimate winner. Although He Jia Ru had many grievances in her heart, she could only accept it since she encountered such a situation. However, making documentaries had always been He Jia Ru's dream. After returning to the company, Lv Jing intentionally came over to mock He Jia Ru.
He Jia Ru directly pulled Lv Jing into the office and questioned why she was at the editing room door on the night of the fire incident. Lv Jing repeatedly claimed that she didn't start the fire. He Jia Ru packed her office supplies and prepared to leave the company. Although both of them harbored a lot of resentment, they had no choice but to accept what had happened.
Due to the construction of a new school near the residential area, Ye Yi Fan and his team became busy again with selecting new homeowners. He Jia Ru felt like time had turned back to six months ago. During this period, Jiang Xiao Shan also faced difficulties and mistreatment at the company but had to endure it for the sake of her salary.
He Jia Ru approached her husband and discussed the planning matters, not wanting to give up despite everything. At this time, Song Xiao called to arrange a meeting with He Jia Ru. After the Lunar New Year, Hou Yuan Yuan returned to her hometown to continue her studies.
He Jia Ru went to other companies for job interviews, hoping to resolve her job situation as soon as possible. However, although others seemed to respect her on the surface, they quickly discarded her authority when her back was turned. Chen Li was unable to answer calls from his daughter and wife during this time. Hou Yuan Yuan was preparing for exams and planned to find a job after her daughter finished the college entrance examination.
Certainly, it was the secretary of Mr. Song who provoked the anger. They even had that person make a backup copy, knowing that once the fire broke out, they could only resign.
Then they let He join their company and presented the backup copy as data recovery. This way, He would be in their company, and they could use this to deal with Secretary Fang.
