Episode 20 recap: Mu Ma organized a birthday banquet for Mu Di.
Mu Tong was delighted as he had just secured a project worth over a billion. Bai Lang went to the company to find Mu Tong, who quickly left upon learning about it. Bai Lang hoped that Mu Tong could persuade Mu Di not to work at the school, stating that she was not suitable for the job. Mu Tong mentioned that Mu Di no longer wanted to play the suona (a traditional Chinese musical instrument). Seeing Bai Lang's anxious expression, Mu Tong asked why he was so concerned about Mu Di. Bai Lang evaded the question, claiming that they were business partners. Mu Tong didn't expose him and simply smiled.
Mu Tong took Mu Ma to the "Small Town Stories" company. Upon seeing Bai Lang, Mu Ma immediately began interrogating him about his family background, resembling a census investigation. Mu Tong interrupted her in time, stating that they had important matters to attend to. Mu Tong mentioned that their shared goal now was to prevent Mu Di from continuing to work at the school. He had come up with a plan that required their cooperation, and both of them agreed.
After Mu Tong and Mu Ma returned home, Mu Ma suggested organizing a birthday party. Mu Di and Mu Father found it absurd since her birthday was still far away. However, Mu Tong insisted on holding a grand celebration the following week. Mu Di reluctantly agreed. Mu Tong said that Mu Ma's birthday wish was for Mu Di to play the suona at the birthday banquet. Mu Di hesitated, and Mu Ma quickly questioned why she was unwilling. Mu Di had no choice but to say that she was willing. Mu Tong was ecstatic and said he would communicate with the event planning company, "Small Town Stories."
Mu Di and Bai Lang sat in the company, and Mu Di was speechless. She stated that she only had two requests: not to let Mu Ma overexert herself due to her poor health and that she wouldn't play the suona. Bai Lang responded that Mu Ma had two requests as well: first, Mu Di had to attend the birthday banquet, and second, she had to play the suona. Mu Di fell into silence.
In the morning, Qu Wen Wen attentively poured tea and served food to her father. Her father asked her to speak directly if she had something to say. Qu Wen Wen pleaded with her father to help William. Although Qu Wen Wen's father didn't want to get involved, he couldn't resist her coaxing and had to promise to think of a solution. Qu Wen Wen happily ran off.
Huang Jin and his team went to Mu Di's house to record a video with Mu Ma. They asked her about the regrets in her life. At first, Mu Ma didn't realize that Huang Jin and his team wanted her to talk about Mu Di. Later, they gestured to her, and she understood. She mentioned that the most regrettable thing was Mu Di giving up playing the suona. Mu Di couldn't bear it and interrupted her mother, who then made an excuse to go to the restroom. Mu Di directly asked where Bai Lang was, and Huang Jin and his team became evasive.
Meanwhile, Bai Lang was pleading with other members of the Wei Hai Orchestra to participate in the performance, but everyone had their own difficulties in life and refused him.
When Bai Lang returned home, he saw Mu Di waiting at his doorstep. Mu Di pleaded with Bai Lang to organize the birthday banquet but asked him not to trouble Mu Ma anymore. She informed him about Mu Ma's illness, and Bai Lang said he understood.
Qu Wen Wen's father came to find William and offered to acquire their family company, taking care of everything else himself. However, he demanded that William give up the music company, which William refused. He told him not to treat their relationship as a business transaction. Qu Wen Wen's father gave him a week to consider the contract and then left.
The members of the orchestra made plans to have a meal with Mu Di and informed her that they had accepted the performance for Mu Ma's birthday banquet. Mu Di guessed that Bai Lang had approached them. They sincerely wanted Mu Di to join them. Mu Di asked about their work, and it turned out that the people from "Small Town Stories" had temporarily taken over for them.
On the day of the birthday banquet, before Bai Lang went on stage as the host, Mu Tong handed him a note. He said it was something Mu Ma wanted to say and asked Bai Lang to read it last. Bai Lang read it out loud, and it turned out to be some words from Mu Ma about helping Mu Di find a partner. It was then Mu Ma's turn to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly fainted. Everyone hurriedly took her to the hospital, where the doctor said it was shock caused by fatigue and she needed to rest in the hospital for a few days.
Mu Di returned to the hospital room and found Bai Lang happily taking pictures of Mu Ma. The situation at William's family was still unresolved. Qu Wen Wen confronted her father, and he told her about the contract. Qu Wen Wen was very angry. At that moment, the contract arrived by courier. Qu Wen Wen quickly opened and read it, and at the end, there was a message from William thanking Qu Wen Wen's father for his help. He felt that he didn't deserve Qu Wen Wen if he couldn't solve these matters and that he would disappear from her world. He asked Qu Wen Wen's father not to tell her and instead deceive her by saying he had fallen in love with someone else.
