Episode 27 recap: Zhou Dao confronted Grandpa Zhou and made it clear that he would never separate from Li Yi Jin.
While Meng Wan Qing was trying to persuade Meng Ming Wei, Dr. Zhang called. She had to hide in the restroom to take the call. Dr. Zhang informed Meng Wan Qing that her condition had been confirmed as breast cancer, but fortunately, it was in stage two, and as long as she arranged for a total excision surgery promptly, her life was not at risk.
Upon learning about her illness, Meng Wan Qing found it particularly difficult to accept. She could only hide in the restroom and cry, suppressing her emotions. Qiao Hai Yun had already noticed that Meng Wan Qing was troubled, but she was preoccupied with Meng Ming Wei's affairs and hadn't had the chance to inquire about Meng Wan Qing.
Meng Ming Wei went upstairs to rest, and Qiao Hai Yun waited for Meng Wan Qing to come out of the restroom, hoping to have a chat with her. Afraid of being discovered by Qiao Hai Yun, Meng Wan Qing tried to find an excuse to leave. However, Qiao Hai Yun directly asked Meng Wan Qing if she resented her for past events. This made Meng Wan Qing burst into tears, but she still refused to disclose her medical condition.
Meng Wan Qing went out alone to clear her mind, and Tao Shu Na called, joking with her, which lifted Meng Wan Qing's spirits. After chatting with Tao Shu Na, Meng Wan Qing immediately made a decision and asked Dr. Zhang to help her schedule the surgery.
Zhou Dao went to have breakfast with his grandparents, planning to take them back to their hometown, but to his surprise, they had already left the hotel. While Zhou Dao was preparing to find his own grandparents, Jiang Bo called to congratulate Zhou Dao, and that's when Zhou Dao learned that his grandparents had gone to find Li Yi Jin.
Upon learning where his grandparents had gone, Zhou Dao called them while rushing to Li Yi Jin's company. By that time, his grandparents had already arrived at the children's theater. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou pleaded with Li Yi Jin to persuade Zhou Dao to return to their hometown, but Li Yi Jin flatly refused.
Li Yi Jin refused to help persuade Zhou Dao, so Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou demanded that Li Yi Jin break up with Zhou Dao. Li Yi Jin also expressed that it was impossible, which infuriated them. A quarrel broke out between Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, and Li Yi Jin. At that moment, Zhou Dao arrived and threatened to call the police to prevent them from causing further trouble.
Li Yi Jin managed to calm Zhou Dao down and suggested that they should invite Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou to have a meal together. They left the children's theater together and went to a restaurant to eat and talk. Zhou Dao knew how to defend Li Yi Jin, so on his way to talk to his grandparents, he sent a voice message to Qiao Hai Yun, informing her of the situation.
Li Yi Jin wanted to make peace with Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, but they showed no respect and insisted on breaking up Li Yi Jin and Zhou Dao. However, Zhou Dao made it clear that even if his grandparents did not acknowledge him, he would still be with Li Yi Jin.
Zhou Dao and Grandpa Zhou were in a confrontation. Meng Ming Wei and Qiao Hai Yun were worried about Li Yi Jin and called to inquire about the situation. However, Grandpa Zhou snatched the phone away and berated Qiao Hai Yun, accusing them of poor upbringing for raising such an unruly child like Li Yi Jin.
Zhou Dao and Grandpa Zhou fought over the phone, accidentally hitting Grandma Zhou in the process. It was then that they stopped. After Grandpa Zhou ceased his actions, Zhou Dao sincerely expressed his feelings. He blamed Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou for not intervening when he and his mother were being abused by his father.
Zhou Dao reproached Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou for not raising his father properly, which ultimately led to his father's death. However, he didn't want to become like his father. Zhou Dao stated that he wanted to be a responsible man, a good husband and father who would take care of his wife and children. Therefore, he would never return to his hometown. Zhou Dao assured that he would take care of both grandparents, but he firmly declared that separating from Li Yi Jin was out of the question. He then knelt down and kowtowed to Grandpa Zhou, begging him to leave them alone and not disturb their lives.
Meng Ming Wei thought that after the commotion caused by Zhou Dao's family, Li Yi Jin would change her mind and break up with Zhou Dao. However, it only strengthened Li Yi Jin's determination. Qiao Hai Yun, witnessing Zhou Dao's rift with his family and his defense of Li Yi Jin, started to view Zhou Dao differently.
After returning home, Meng Ming Wei found Li Cheng Zhi in a cheerful mood, drinking alcohol and claiming to have made some gains in the stock market. After expressing his happiness, Li Cheng Zhi falsely claimed that he had called someone to collect the junk from Li Yi Jin's room, which made Meng Ming Wei immediately check the savings book she had hidden.
Li Cheng Zhi followed Meng Ming Wei into the room, wanting to see what she had hidden. Upon seeing Meng Ming Wei's concern for the photos she had hidden, he changed his mind and decided not to let the junk collector enter the house. Zhou Dao returned his grandparents to their home and drank sorrowfully with Li Yi Jin at home. Li Yi Jin comforted Zhou Dao, and they decided to visit Zhou's mother together.
Zhou Dao went to the prison to visit his mother and showed her Li Yi Jin's photo, which made Zhou's mother very happy. Zhou's mother promised to fight for an early release, and Zhou Dao told her that he would live with Li Yi Jin. When Zhou's mother was released, they would pick her up together.
