Episode 22 recap: Li Nai was used by Jiang Xu Yang.
Jiang Zhiqing also told Jiang Xu Yang not to get too close to Zhu's secretary and not to make the same mistake as his father, Jiang Yuanfeng. After coming out of Jiang Zhiqing's room, Zhu Hao greeted Jiang Xu Yang with a smile, wanting to tell him about her pregnancy. However, Jiang Xu Yang coldly told her that his grandfather wanted him to go on a blind date and he wouldn't have time to accompany her anymore. He told her to take more time to go shopping and not to let the card he gave her sit idle. Hearing Jiang Xu Yang's words, Zhu Hao swallowed what she wanted to say. After parting ways with Zhu Hao, Jiang Xu Yang checked his text messages and found that Zhu Hao had just made a purchase at a mother and baby store.
On Jiang Zhiqing's Christmas day, Jiang Xu Yang saw Jiang Jie and Li Nai arrive. He smiled and pointed to the nearby incident site, reminding them that he could show them the way if they wanted to go to the bathroom. Hearing Jiang Xu Yang's words, Jiang Xiu couldn't help but sarcastically remark that when his brother lived in the Jiang family, he only knew how to play with mud. Jiang Xu Yang retorted by emphasizing how long he had stayed at the Jiang family. Jiang Xiu called the butler, Uncle Fu, over and asked him to compare who had been at the Jiang family longer.
After the exchange with Jiang Xu Yang, Jiang Xiu went to the backyard, where Cui Can approached and draped his coat over her. Seeing that Jiang Xiu ignored him, Cui Can suddenly hugged her and offered to tell her everything if she gave him one more night. Although Jiang Xiu told him to let go, she was secretly delighted. After Cui Can left, she couldn't help but laugh and say that he thought he could hide things from her with his little tricks. In the banquet hall, Jiang Jie and Li Nai were cooking. Li Nai pretended to go to the bathroom to arrange some things. Zhu Hao observed Li Nai's every move and followed her quietly when she left the hall. However, as soon as she reached the garden, she was stopped by Jiang Xiu, who mocked her along with Cao Liang. Jiang Xu Yang saw the situation and walked over to help Zhu Hao out and quietly reminded her not to interfere in Cui Can's affairs anymore.
After the banquet started, Cui Can, as the host of the event, began by telling everyone the story of Medicine Old Man. Jiang Zhiqing realized that Cui Can was alluding to the events of the past and was about to stand up to stop him, but Jiang Xiu reminded him not to lose composure in front of everyone. Jiang Xu Yang pretended not to be able to bear it anymore and walked out of the hall, coincidentally seeing Jiang Yuanfeng in the garden. He then warned him not to provoke his grandfather further, as his grandfather was already angry. However, Jiang Yuanfeng insisted on going in.
After Cui Can finished telling the story, he had everyone taste the dishes made by Jiang Jie and Li Nai and called the food taster to the stage. According to Li Nai's arrangement, the next person to come up should have been Master Ge. However, just as Cui Can's words fell, Jiang Yuanfeng suddenly walked in. At first, Li Nai thought that Master Ge had been manipulated by Jiang Yuanfeng. The tension in her heart was relieved when Master Ge arrived.
Master Ge spoke about the events of the past in front of everyone. Jiang Zhiqing, in order to protect himself, deliberately blamed Jiang Yuanfeng, saying that although their relationship was good, he shouldn't have kept it from him and done such things. However, when Jiang Jie mentioned that Jiang Yuanfeng had crippled Jiang Yuanshan's hand back then, she also began to accuse Jiang Yuanfeng. In his anger, Jiang Yuanfeng revealed that it was Jiang Zhiqing's idea.
Jiang Zhiqing had a heart attack and fainted on the spot. After Jiang Zhiqing was taken away in an ambulance, Jiang Jie looked at Jiang Xu Yang's triumphant expression and finally realized that Li Nai had been used as a pawn by Jiang Xu Yang. Jiang Xu Yang wanted to open a chain of stores, and Jiang Zhiqing was the biggest obstacle.
As Jiang Jie had anticipated, after Jiang Zhiqing fell ill and was hospitalized, Jiang Xu Yang announced his plan to open a chain of stores and package the dishes of the Seven Great Families for nationwide mass production. Li Nai did not expect the situation to turn out like this. In order to solidify his gains, Jiang Xu Yang even deliberately instigated a rift between her and Jiang Jie by revealing the truth about the forged knife incident.
However, his plan backfired, giving Li Nai an idea. Li Nai decided to seize the knife from the Jiang family and replace them as the leading family among the Seven Great Families. When Li Nai revealed her plan, Jiang Xu Yang regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face.
