Episode 26 recap: Xiao Yi Cheng and Tan Sha Sha unexpectedly went on a blind date.
After Lin Xi got into the car, she let out a long sigh. Xiao Yi Cheng asked her about it, and only then did Lin Xi take out the invitation. In fact, her resentment hadn't dissipated, but she didn't know whether she should attend her grandfather's birthday banquet or not. Xiao Yi Cheng comforted her and mentioned that her mother and grandfather used the same incense. However, the decision ultimately rested in Lin Xi's hands.
Lin Xi showed the invitation to her mother, who wasn't particularly willing to attend. It was actually Lin Xi's father who had been persuading his wife. After all these years, even if there were deep grievances, they should be able to resolve them. Lin Xi's father watched his wife sipping tea and then went over to accompany her. His wife mentioned that her family used to be a renowned family of translators and that her childhood dream was to become a translator just like them. However, even when she and her husband returned to their hometown, she only became an ordinary English teacher, and she had never regretted it.
In fact, she had translated a collection of Li Bai's poems back then. In order to provide a more comprehensive , she put in a lot of effort. However, in the end, her sister took credit for it. It was her father who thought his daughter didn't listen to him and thus dashed her dreams of . Lin Xi's father became very angry upon hearing his wife's recounting and finally understood why she was upset.
Originally, Lin Xi's father wanted to prevent his wife from attending the birthday banquet after hearing these things. But his wife insisted on going, in order to prove to her father that she married her current husband and that it was her blessing for a lifetime. The parents invited Lin Xi to have a meal together and also said they would attend her grandfather's birthday banquet. Although Lin Xi didn't understand why her mother suddenly changed her mind, she fully supported her nonetheless. They then went for beauty treatments and bought beautiful clothes so that they could attend the banquet in the best state of mind.
Her mother also took out the cheongsam she wore when she was 20 and had it modified. Grandpa Xu was the one who made that cheongsam. He knew that Lin Xi's mother wanted to attend the birthday banquet and mentioned that her grandfather's clothes were also made there. On the morning of the banquet, Lin Xi's mother was still in her room and hadn't come out. In fact, she had already changed into her clothes, but she couldn't overcome the inner struggle.
Lin Xi and her father arrived first. Tan Sha Sha's mother didn't even let Lin Xi and her father sit at the main table, intentionally finding an excuse. They were seated far away from the main table. Lin Xi understood that it was deliberately arranged by her aunt and felt very angry.
However, to their surprise, Xiao Yi Cheng's parents actually knew Tan Sha Sha's mother. After Xiao Yi Cheng's mother went out, she told her son that she wanted to introduce her cousin's daughter to him. Xiao Yi Cheng initially thought it was Lin Xi and felt quite happy about it. Xiao Yi Cheng appeared calm on the surface, but deep down, he was quite excited.
However, when he went over to see, all he saw was a handbag. Xiao Yi Cheng was still thinking about pretending to coincidentally meet Lin Xi, but unexpectedly, the person who came at that moment was Tan Sha Sha. Xiao Yi Cheng was taken aback. When Xiao Yi Cheng turned around, he happened to see Lin Xi and her father sitting at the farthest table. Xiao Yi Cheng quickly went over to explain, and Lin Xi was actually quite happy about it. She then intentionally punished Xiao Yi Cheng by turning off her phone.
Xiao Yi Cheng and Tan Sha Sha were also in a difficult situation. They both had their respective boyfriends and girlfriends, but the elders were unaware of this. Just at that moment, Lin Xi's father arrived at the main table, but unexpectedly, Tan Sha Sha's mother became angry and even thought that Lin Xi intentionally embarrassed her.
Since things had come to this point, Lin Xi brought up the manuscript that was clearly translated by her mother, but ended up being credited to her aunt. She originally wanted to speak up about what happened back then, but her grandfather tried to stop her. In fact, Lin Xi's mother had already arrived at the scene, but she lacked the courage to go in. As a result, her grandfather suddenly had a heart attack and fainted.
They quickly took her grandfather to the hospital. Tan Sha Sha's mother only had a meal with Lin Xi's family, and Lin Xi's mother also arrived. Soon, her grandfather regained consciousness. Tan Sha Sha and her mother went in first, but the first thing her grandfather asked when he woke up was about Lin Xi. Tan Sha Sha also mentioned that Lin Xi's mother had arrived.
Finally, her grandfather saw his long-awaited daughter, even though it was in a hospital bed. It could be considered the best gift for his birthday.
