Episode 14 recap: Jiang Xiaoyuan endured silently while accepting orders.
Old Shang had already investigated Jiang Xiaoyuan and learned that Huo Baiyu was originally Feng Ruixue's boyfriend. After Jiang Xiaoyuan "stole" Huo Baiyu, she became quiet. Old Shang speculated that Huo Baiyu was Jiang Xiaoyuan's true love. Over the past two years, Jiang Xiaoyuan had been waiting for Huo Baiyu. Old Shang advised Qi Lian to give up and not waste time on Jiang Xiaoyuan.
Jiang Xiaoyuan never expected that Feng Ruixue turned out to be her client. Upon discovering that Feng Ruixue was a spoiled princess, Jiang Xiaoyuan's temper flared up. However, considering the reality of the situation, Jiang Xiaoyuan could only apologize. Her attitude, however, was far from satisfactory. She impulsively poured herself a drink and offered it as an apology to Feng Ruixue. But Feng Ruixue was not satisfied and poured Jiang Xiaoyuan another glass. Jiang Xiaoyuan swallowed her anger and drank three glasses in a row, thinking that the matter should be settled. However, Feng Ruixue continued to be relentless, which infuriated Jiang Xiaoyuan. She turned and walked away, but after taking a few steps, she realized that she desperately needed this business opportunity. Reluctantly, she swallowed her pride and returned to negotiate with Feng Ruixue, reminding her that the most pressing matter at the moment was the performance. However, Feng Ruixue held a deep grudge against Jiang Xiaoyuan and refused to use her, even if it meant the performance would be ruined.
At that moment, a group of people entered the private room. They all knew Jiang Xiaoyuan and berated her for stealing Feng Ruixue's boyfriend and having the audacity to show up there. Their words caused Feng Ruixue to lose control. She saw that Jiang Xiaoyuan not only didn't recognize her but also didn't remember the incident of stealing her boyfriend. She thought Jiang Xiaoyuan was pretending, so she grabbed a drink and splashed it directly onto Jiang Xiaoyuan's face.
The contradiction between this world and Jiang Xiaoyuan's original world overwhelmed her, and she lost control of her senses. Everything appeared hazy to her, and she stood there in a daze until she collapsed. When Qi Lian found Jiang Xiaoyuan, she was not only unconscious on the ground but also surrounded by a group of people constantly berating her. Qi Lian quickly carried Jiang Xiaoyuan out, intending to take her to the hospital, but they couldn't find a car. At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyuan slowly regained consciousness. Under the influence of alcohol, she dropped her usual cold demeanor and expressed her grievances to Qi Lian, feeling that he had treated her unfairly. It was then that Qi Lian realized that he had unintentionally hurt Jiang Xiaoyuan. After arriving at the hospital with Jiang Xiaoyuan on his back, even though she was uncomfortable from the alcohol, she still felt insecure and took the initiative to hold Qi Lian's hand, asking him not to leave. This touched Qi Lian's heart deeply.
That night, Qi Lian held Jiang Xiaoyuan's hand and stayed by her bedside all night. The next day, when Jiang Xiaoyuan woke up and saw their hands clasped together, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart. However, the position made her body stiff, and instinctively she adjusted her posture, accidentally waking up Qi Lian.
Jiang Xiaoyuan quickly withdrew her hand, returning to her previous demeanor, and coldly reproached Qi Lian for not informing her of the latest progress in the investigation. She decided to find a way back on her own. Qi Lian played the recording that Jiang Xiaoyuan insisted on capturing the previous night. As soon as Jiang Xiaoyuan heard it, she immediately became timid and agreed to have a proper conversation with Qi Lian.
At this moment, Chen Fang Zhou called. Qi Lian guessed that Chen Fang Zhou knew Jiang Xiao Yuan hadn't returned and was worried, so he quickly sent Jiang Xiao Yuan back. This warm gesture made Jiang Xiao Yuan unable to help but smile.
Yesterday, Feng Rui Xue had a quarrel with Jiang Xiao Yuan, but today she changed her mind and insisted that Manager Cui must keep Jiang Xiao Yuan as a makeup artist. This puzzled Jiang Xiao Yuan, but Manager Cui saw Jiang Xiao Yuan as a lifeline and begged her to take on the job. He even prepared a contract for her.
In order to meet her performance targets, Jiang Xiao Yuan decided to take on the job. What she didn't know was that Feng Rui Xue wanted her to take the job to continue tormenting her. Jiang Xiao Yuan worked hard in the shop to catch up on the progress. At that moment, Qi Lian came to the shop to find Jiang Xiao Yuan. His chewing gum caught Jiang Xiao Yuan's attention, and she couldn't help but ask about it. Jiang Xiao Yuan felt especially happy when Qi Lian gave her a piece of gum, reminding him of the scene where Jiang Xiao Yuan shared gum with him in this world.
Jiang Xiao Yuan prepared several makeup sketches to show Manager Cui. Although her designs were beautiful, they were too similar and resembled fashion model makeup, which was not suitable for the stage. Jiang Xiao Yuan noticed their exaggerated costumes and realized that they were indeed inappropriate. She decided to make further adjustments.
At that moment, Feng Rui Xue arrived at the theater. She snatched the sketches from Jiang Xiao Yuan's hands and mocked her, saying that someone with Jiang Xiao Yuan's level of skill was not qualified to make a living in this industry. Jiang Xiao Yuan didn't get angry and believed that if she took on the job, she should give it her all. She asked for two days to revise the plans and then left. Feng Rui Xue instructed Manager Cui to inform her if Jiang Xiao Yuan came again, which made Manager Cui notice the subtle relationship between the two.
