Episode 12 recap: Sun Xiaoqing does not appreciate her father's efforts.
When Sun Qiancheng saw bruises on Sun Xiaoqing's wrist, she claimed it was an accidental bump. This immediately infuriated Sun Qiancheng, who believed it was the doing of that boy Gu Ming. Sun Qiancheng stood in front of his daughter, blocking Gu Ming's attempt to forcibly take Sun Xiaoqing home.
At home, Gu Ming tightly choked Sun Xiaoqing's neck, and Sun Qiancheng, who was leaning against the wall, heard the commotion. He immediately went in to reprimand his son-in-law but was stopped by his daughter. Sun Xiaoqing couldn't distinguish right from wrong and told her father to stop interfering in her life. Chen Xincheng joined a square dance group, leading everyone in rhythmic dancing.
Sun Qiancheng and Xiao Changqing watched with delight, realizing that Chen Xincheng would no longer have the energy to contend with them. The retirement center now had twenty-three households, and Sun Qiancheng believed that the retirement approval should be forthcoming. He felt success was within reach.
Xiao Changqing had never seen Sun Qiancheng so eager for success. Sun Qiancheng admitted that it wasn't all for himself; he also wanted his daughter, Sun Xiaoqing, to believe that he could accomplish something significant. Just as they were talking, Sun Xiaoqing called him, but inexplicably said goodbye and take care before hanging up.
When Sun Qiancheng tried to call back, he couldn't get through. He immediately became extremely anxious and called Gu Ming, then took a taxi straight to his daughter's house. Gu Ming briefly explained the situation to Xia Mingzhou and then returned home. Xia Mingzhou naturally couldn't rest easy and hurried to his daughter's house.
They searched the entire house but couldn't find Sun Xiaoqing. Sun Qiancheng grew increasingly worried, and Xiao Changqing mobilized everyone to search together. Eventually, he and Chen Xincheng followed the river and found Sun Xiaoqing on a bridge. They immediately notified Sun Qiancheng.
Xiao Changqing reminded him to stay calm, and Sun Qiancheng followed suit, bringing his daughter down. At that moment, Gu Ming arrived, wanting to take Sun Xiaoqing home. She silently stood behind Sun Qiancheng, who refused to let Gu Ming take their daughter away.
When Sun Qiancheng returned home, he saw bruises on his daughter's wrist. He questioned her if Gu Ming was responsible, but Sun Xiaoqing told him not to interfere. Sun Qiancheng didn't say anything further and went to cook for his daughter. By the time he finished, Sun Xiaoqing had already fallen asleep on the couch.
Sun Qiancheng felt heartbroken and took out his phone to photograph the injuries on his daughter's body. Back at the retirement center, the three old folks discussed the situation with Sun Xiaoqing. As a result, Sun Qiancheng and Chen Xincheng got into an argument, with Xiao Changqing trying to mediate.
Xiao Yue hurriedly ran in and informed them that Sun Xiaoqing was about to be taken away by Gu Ming. Sun Qiancheng tried to stop them, but his daughter insisted on going home with Gu Ming. Sun Qiancheng felt helpless, but he couldn't let his daughter spiral further into the abyss, so he followed them.
Upon returning home, Gu Ming indeed started to settle the score with Sun Xiaoqing. Sun Qiancheng heard it from the doorway and immediately knocked on the door, rushing in to beat up Gu Ming. Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Ming threatened to fight back. At that moment, Xiao Changqing and Chen Xincheng came to help and gave Gu Ming a beating.
Afterward, Gu Ming intentionally went to Xia Mingzhou, pretending to be pitiful and claiming that he was misunderstood. Sun Qiancheng and the others confronted him together. Gu Ming changed his strategy, saying he wanted to resign. Xia Mingzhou asked for the reason, and Gu Ming said it was because of Sun Xiaoqing.
Xia Mingzhou was pleased and not only refused to let him resign but also promised to make Gu Ming a vice president in the board of directors, stating that Mingzhou Electronics would eventually fall into his hands. Sun Qiancheng rushed to the company and showed Xia Mingzhou the photos. Xia Mingzhou called Sun Xiaoqing to inquire, but she still insisted that she caused the injuries herself.
Sun Qiancheng was furious and frustrated, so he went back home to see his daughter. Sun Xiaoqing insisted that he stop meddling in her and Gu Ming's affairs, and she even blamed Sun Qiancheng for the state of their family. It was like a thorn in Sun Qiancheng's throat.
Sun Xiaoqing's current situation was intertwined with Sun Qiancheng and Xia Mingzhou, and listening to his daughter's accusations, Sun Qiancheng felt heartbroken. Back at the retirement center, Sun Qiancheng didn't argue back when scolded. Xiao Changqing and Chen Xincheng suspected that Xia Mingzhou didn't believe Gu Ming was abusive at home, which is why Sun Qiancheng appeared so dejected.
As someone with experience, Chen Xincheng suspected that Gu Ming must be cheating outside, so he and Xiao Changqing kept an eye on him. Xiao Changqing noticed that after Gu Ming drove away, a woman got into his car.
