Episode 16 recap: Voluntarily filing for divorce.

Upon hearing that his son wanted a divorce, Old Qin angrily asked him if he had considered that if he were to do so, he would become a modern-day Chen Shimin. Qin's mother approached Zhao Xiufang, hoping that Anxin would voluntarily file for divorce. She was concerned that if Qin Feng were to initiate the divorce, it would affect his reputation at work. Zhou Kaize blocked Chen Ruohua's path, hoping to be given another chance by her.

After Qin Feng's passion had faded, he felt that he couldn't continue living like this and decided to propose a divorce to Anxin. Old Qin, upon hearing that his son wanted a divorce, angrily asked him if he had thought about the fact that he would become a modern-day Chen Shimin if he went through with it. Initially, Qin's mother also disagreed. She had initially wanted Qin Feng to wait until the advanced waves had passed before bringing up the topic of divorce. However, seeing that Qin Feng had made up his mind and in order to have a grandchild soon, she agreed to Qin Feng's divorce and came up with an idea: to have Anxin propose the divorce.

Qin's mother found Zhao Xiufang and showed her Old Qin's medical records, saying that the reason Old Qin fell ill was because Qin Feng didn't have a child. Now that Anxin was in this state, it would be best for the two families to part ways amicably. However, if Qin Feng were to propose a divorce, it would undoubtedly affect his reputation at work. Therefore, she asked Anxin to voluntarily propose the divorce.

Upon hearing Qin's mother's words, Zhao Xiufang became furious and accused Qin Feng of being both a whore and wanting to save face. Qin's mother told her to state her conditions, and Zhao Xiufang demanded the commercial property owned by the Qin family because it was worth two million. Qin's mother firmly disagreed and only agreed to let Qin Feng leave empty-handed and give Anxin an additional 300,000.

In order to achieve the goal of divorce, Qin Feng intentionally held Anxin's medical records and pretended to accidentally let her see them. When Anxin saw the record stating that it was not advisable to get pregnant, she asked her mother what was going on. Zhao Xiufang cursed under her breath and then told Chen Ruohua the truth.

It was only then that Chen Ruohua realized that Qin Feng and the Qin family had known long ago that she couldn't conceive. So she asked Qin Feng out, took the initiative to propose a divorce, and said that the reason of infertility sounded reasonable. When Qin Feng pretended to disagree, Chen Ruohua told him to stop pretending and asked him to leave quickly before she regretted it.

After the conflict with Zhou Kaize, Chen Ruohua quit her job. After arriving at the school, Zhou Kaize blocked Chen Ruohua's path, hoping she would give him another chance. These past few days, he had been thinking about how they had ended up like this, but Chen Ruohua told him that their situations were different.

Zhou Kaize, however, believed that they shouldn't be complacent just because of the disparity in their families' status. In order to prevent Chen Ruohua from rejecting him, he deliberately brought up the draft they had worked on together a couple of days ago. He claimed that if they made a few more changes, it could be published in a world-renowned financial magazine, with both of their names on it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Ruohua obediently went with him to revise the draft. Anxin shared her thoughts of getting a divorce with her mother, and Zhao Xiufang, with a bitter smile, told her daughter that she had known this would be the outcome. She comforted Anxin, saying that even without Qin Feng, she still had her mother.

Before going to obtain the divorce certificate, Anxin went to Qin Feng's workplace to speak highly of him, in order to not affect his job. Qin Feng saw Anxin talking to Manager Chu and thought she knew something, which made him feel extremely guilty.

Zhou Kaize started working at the news media center, but before he could settle in, his manager suddenly approached him and informed him that his mother-in-law had come by and bought coffee for everyone. After meeting Zhao Xiuli, Zhou Kaize asked her what she was up to and questioned whether her actions would backfire.

However, Zhao Xiuli told him that she had originally planned to leave by train. But she was worried that if she left, Zhou Kaize would once again deceive Chen Ruohua with sweet words. She didn't want her daughter to waste her youth on such a scumbag like Zhou Kaize. Therefore, she warned Zhou Kaize to stay away from her daughter in the future.

Zhao Xiufang and Qin's mother met, and Qin's mother handed over the 300,000 yuan to her. Seeing Qin's mother acting so self-righteous, Zhao Xiufang couldn't help but question her conscience. She pointed out that after the divorce, Anxin even went to Qin Feng's workplace specifically to speak highly of him, not knowing that Qin Feng had cheated.

Qin's mother told Zhao Xiufang to stop talking nonsense and asked her to provide evidence. Zhao Xiufang resisted the urge and ultimately didn't show the disgusting photo. While the two were talking, Old Qin suddenly approached and handed over the property deed for the commercial property to Zhao Xiufang. He told her that their family indeed owed Anxin, and this property would serve as compensation for her. The property deed was in his name, and Anxin could transfer it whenever she wanted.

Upon hearing Old Qin's words, Qin's mother asked if he had gone crazy. Seeing that Old Qin was determined, she angrily turned and left.
