Episode 12 recap: Deng Ming visited Cheng Xi again.
In the afternoon, everyone began discussing the Chen Qingmei case. Although Mr. Dong's body had already been cremated, it was enough as long as they could find evidence to prove that the child in Chen Qingmei's womb was Mr. Dong's. Cheng Yao came up with many ideas, and Qian Heng praised Cheng Yao directly during the meeting, surprising Bao Rui who was on the sidelines. Cheng Yao felt secretly delighted because she finally received recognition.
After everyone finished work, Cheng Yao stayed behind to continue working. Qian Heng watched Cheng Yao working outside the office and pretended to prepare to leave when she was about to finish work. He even asked Cheng Yao if she would be going home tonight. Cheng Yao replied that she wouldn't be going home anytime soon. Qian Heng felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.
Qian Heng was very impressed when he saw the proposal Cheng Yao had written. He then intentionally found an excuse to ask Cheng Yao to go home and get some documents. In order to let Cheng Yao stay here comfortably without wasting money on a hotel, Qian Heng left a note for her, stating that he would be staying at the villa for the foreseeable future and encouraging her to stay here and improve her abilities.
Cheng Yao felt warm inside when she saw the note. Qian Heng even made annotations on the important parts for Cheng Yao. Qian Heng actually waited downstairs until he saw Cheng Yao turn off the lights and rest before he left with peace of mind. After getting drunk, Deng Ming went to find Cheng Xi again and complained about how miserable he had been in the past year, despite being married. He felt oppressed because his partner's family had better conditions and he was unhappy relying on money.
Cheng Xi had no interest in dealing with her ex-husband. To her surprise, Deng Ming had someone secretly take photos of her. Cheng Xi was very angry and directly drove Deng Ming away. In fact, Cheng Xi had liked Wu Jun when she was in school, but due to various circumstances, they never ended up together.
Cheng Yao and Bao Rui planned to visit Dong Min's grandfather first, considering that he is the only blood relative left connected to Mr. Dong. Perhaps they could persuade him to switch sides. Bao Rui kept Qian Heng informed of the situation, and Qian Heng quietly followed them to the hospital.
Under the persuasion of Cheng Yao and Bao Rui, the grandfather agreed to undergo a paternity test. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. After the nurse came out, she scolded Cheng Yao, which made Qian Heng feel uncomfortable witnessing it.
When they left, they saw Chen Qingmei approaching. She insisted on doing the paternity test immediately. Her only concern now was that she wouldn't be able to support the child if she couldn't get the inheritance. It seemed that she truly had no affection for the child. After returning to the law firm, Qian Heng called Bao Rui into his office to inquire about the latest situation, but he was also reminding Bao Rui to constantly pay attention to Cheng Yao's feelings.
Deng Ming also brought flowers to Cheng Xi, but she was very angry and threw them away, coincidentally meeting Wu Jun who was coming by. Wu Jun even said that he wanted to take responsibility for Cheng Xi since they had already been intimate in a hotel. However, Cheng Xi quickly explained that nothing had happened between them that day. Just then, Qian Heng called, and Wu Jun hurriedly left.
Wu Jun felt very disappointed, thinking that Cheng Xi had feelings for him, but it turned out that he had misunderstood. Qian Heng went to soak his feet but couldn't recreate the feeling of that night, perhaps because Cheng Yao wasn't by his side. In the evening, after Cheng Yao returned home, she made a beautiful fruit platter. She had originally prepared two forks but suddenly remembered that Qian Heng wasn't home, so she put the forks down.
At the same time, Qian Heng arrived at the place where he and Cheng Yao often took walks to look at the fountain, also missing Cheng Yao. The paternity test results for Chen Qingmei's child had also come out, confirming that the child in her womb was indeed Mr. Dong's. However, just then, a man came to pick up Chen Qingmei, revealing that she now had a boyfriend. Bao Rui and Cheng Yao were completely caught off guard.
It seems that Chen Qingmei is someone with no boundaries. The two of them happened to be unable to find a taxi, and Qian Heng deliberately said that he could give them a ride back to the company. Bao Rui, being self-centered, thought that Qian Heng was doing it because of him. After Bao Rui left, Cheng Yao asked Qian Heng if he had been sleeping well these past few days.
During the official court hearing, because Qian Heng had sufficient evidence, Chen Qingmei won the lawsuit. Dong Min was very upset and went to ask his grandfather why he had taken the paternity test. Cheng Yao took the initiative to apologize and even helped Dong Min out. Qian Heng also came over and spoke up for Cheng Yao, but she didn't care at all.
