Episode 17 recap: Li Ruo Yi's mother recalls the past.
Li Ruo Yi's mother remembered what happened back then. He went out with the master and saw a performer singing on stage. She noticed that the master had a different feeling towards this performer. Li Ruo Yi's mother approached the woman, hoping she could help the master have a child, and the woman agreed.
Li Ruo Yi's mother expressed gratitude for accepting her unreasonable request. She blamed herself for not being able to give her husband a child but knew how much he wanted one. The woman said she willingly agreed because the master was a good man, and his wife was also a good person.
Li Ruo Yi's mother said she would have Chen Bo buy a house for him outside, and she would have Chen Bo take care of her, so she wouldn't have to worry about anything. Chen Bo felt that those things were in the past and told Li Ruo Yi's mother not to think too much about it. Chen Bo mentioned that he wanted to invite Chen Shu Yu to help take care of Li Ruo Yi's mother's health. Li Ruo Yi didn't seem very enthusiastic about it, which left Chen Bo speechless. He thought Li Ruo Yi was still a detective, yet he didn't even understand his own feelings, so how could he solve cases?
Chen Shu Yu felt that Li Ruo Yi might not like her, and it was simply because she didn't like him enough. Chen Shu Yu knew what Li Ruo Yi's feelings were like, but she couldn't just let go of him like that. Chen Shu Yu came to help take care of Li Ruo Yi's mother's health and asked Chen Bo to note down the frequency of Li Ruo Yi's mother being forgetful, thinking it would be best to go to the hospital.
Li Ruo Yi's mother felt that Chen Shu Yu hadn't come for a long time. They used to be close when she was young and asked Chen Shu Yu to come over more often. Bai Liu Shuang and Feng Yi Lun came to find Li Ruo Yi, wanting him to help investigate Bai Liu Shuang's sister's case.
Li Ruo Yi went to find Inspector Liang, but Inspector Liang disagreed, thinking that there were so many unresolved cases, so why bother investigating a minor celebrity. Li Ruo Yi argued that this case had come to him directly. Inspector Liang mentioned that a prominent person's son went missing in the French Concession and asked him to find the son in Hangzhou.
Li Ruo Yi discovered that the so-called son was actually just a dog, which frustrated him.
Inspector Liang said that as long as Li Ruo Yi could solve this case, he would let him investigate anything he wanted. Li Ruo Yi could only agree. He came to inform Feng Yi Lun and Bai Liu Shuang that he had urgent matters to attend to in Hangzhou and that they could discuss the case when he returned.
Bai Liu Shuang wanted to investigate on their own, but Li Ruo Yi felt that this person was extremely dangerous, and they should wait for his return before taking any action. Bai Liu Shuang reluctantly agreed. Yang Lihua and others came for an audition. Yang Lihua had no acting experience and thought that Director Xu wouldn't choose her.
Feng Yi Lun came to Bai Liu Shuang and told him to look at Yang Lihua dancing on stage. He explained that their current boss had invested in Director Xu's new movie, so Director Xu had already decided to cast Yang Lihua as the leading actress. Bai Liu Shuang thought Yang Lihua was quite naive. She still didn't know what was going on and thought that being chosen as the leading actress by Director Xu was just luck.
Yang Lihua and her boss were drinking here, feeling that she didn't perform well and couldn't understand why Director Xu chose her. Her boss told her not to think too much and to focus on acting. Her boss noticed that Yang Lihua's curls had fallen out and suggested that she curl her hair again. Director Xu held a press conference, and someone asked him why he chose Yang Lihua. Director Xu said that Yang Lihua's image matched that of the female lead, but her hair needed to be straightened.
Yang Lihua had no choice but to straighten her hair, and the hairstylist thought she looked good with straight hair.
