Episode 36 recap: Meng Wan Qing proposed a divorce to Tao Da Lei.
Guo Xiao Wen, because Meng Yi An refused to withdraw the lawsuit, attacked Meng Yi An's company by spreading false information and falsely accusing Meng Yi An of withholding charitable funds, causing a great impact on Meng Yi An's company. Meng Yi An was having dinner with Qiu Qiu when she suddenly learned about the company's issues. At that moment, she received threatening and intimidating text messages on her phone, and Qiu Qiu's personal information was also exposed, which made her particularly worried that Qiu Qiu would be harmed.
Afraid that Qiu Qiu would be harmed, Meng Yi An had to contact Qiu Xia and asked her to come to her home. Qiu Xia, worried about both Qiu Qiu and Meng Yi An, had no choice but to stay at Meng Yi An's house and accompany her through this difficult time.
With Qiu Xia's company, Meng Yi An felt much more at ease and gained the experience to properly handle the crisis in her company. Tao Shu Na returned home to pack Meng Wan Qing's clothes, and when Tao Da Lei saw her return, he complained about Meng Wan Qing without showing any concern for her well-being.
Tao Shu Na angrily criticized Tao Da Lei for not making any effort to contact Meng Wan Qing and inquire about her well-being during all those days without news. Tao Da Lei simply didn't understand the hardships Meng Wan Qing had gone through and only cared about himself. Tao Shu Na decided to ignore Tao Da Lei and began packing Meng Wan Qing's belongings herself.
Meng Ming Wei looked through the family photo album and intentionally engaged in conversation with Qiao Hai Yun, hoping to confirm whether she was Qiao Hai Yun's biological child. Qiao Hai Yun dared not let Meng Ming Wei know the truth and could only brush off her inquiries. However, she felt uneasy and secretly asked Li Yi Jin about the situation.
Qiao Hai Yun instructed Li Yi Jin to hide the diary, but unexpectedly, Meng Ming Wei overheard their conversation. This made Meng Ming Wei even more uncomfortable. Late at night, Meng Ming Wei discussed with Qiao Hai Yun that she didn't want her name to be written on the new house, feeling undeserving of Qiao Hai Yun's kindness towards her.
Qiao Hai Yun reassured Meng Ming Wei and said that it was only natural for a mother to buy a house for her daughter. However, the next morning, Qiao Hai Yun discovered that Meng Ming Wei was not at home. Qiao Hai Yun woke up Li Yi Jin and asked her to find Meng Ming Wei while she waited at home for news. However, despite searching many places, Li Yi Jin couldn't find any trace of Meng Ming Wei.
Unable to find Meng Ming Wei, Li Yi Jin had no choice but to ask Qiao Hai Yun where Meng Ming Wei might have gone if she knew the truth. This made them suspect that Meng Ming Wei might have gone to her father's grave. Li Yi Jin went to the cemetery to find Meng Ming Wei, who, because she wasn't Qiao Hai Yun's biological child, became very angry.
Li Yi Jin comforted Meng Ming Wei, explaining that their family's bond was real and whether they were biologically related or not didn't matter. Li Yi Jin let Meng Ming Wei know that Qiao Hai Yun was waiting for her at home and persuaded her to go back.
Meng Ming Wei returned home, and Qiao Hai Yun angrily scolded her, blaming her for not recognizing her as her mother after living in the Meng family for so many years. Meng Ming Wei expressed that Qiao Hai Yun and her husband treated her exceptionally well, even better than her biological parents, and she felt too ashamed to acknowledge them as her parents.
Qiao Hai Yun slapped Meng Ming Wei in anger, causing her blood pressure to rise and almost faint. After taking medication to stabilize herself, Qiao Hai Yun finally revealed the truth of the past. She explained that she didn't like children back then, but when Meng Ming Wei held her hand and called her "mom," her heart melted instantly.
Qiao Hai Yun honestly disclosed to Meng Ming Wei everything from initially finding it tiring to take care of her to secretly moving houses out of fear that Meng Ming Wei would be taken away by her biological parents. She wanted Meng Ming Wei to know that she was their biological daughter.
Meng Ming Wei was deeply moved by Qiao Hai Yun's love and care for her. She hugged Qiao Hai Yun tightly and cried, vowing never to mention the non-biological aspect again. Meng Wan Qing noticed that Tao Shu Na had been continuously looking at her phone and suspected that something was wrong at home. She persistently questioned Tao Shu Na until Tao Shu Na finally confessed about Meng Ming Wei's disappearance in the morning.
Upon learning about Meng Ming Wei's disappearance, Meng Wan Qing became anxious to find her. Luckily, Meng Ming Wei returned, and she stayed at the hospital. Meng Wan Qing was worried that Meng Ming Wei might be distraught, so she repeatedly assured her that they would always be sisters no matter what happened.
After Meng Wan Qing was discharged from the hospital, Meng Ming Wei accompanied her downstairs, but she was still concerned about Meng Wan Qing. However, Meng Wan Qing insisted that she should not follow her home. Once Meng Wan Qing arrived home, Tao Da Lei immediately began to loudly berate her, blaming her for being away for so long and neglecting the family.
After Tao Da Lei finished scolding her, he learned that Meng Wan Qing was ill. Meng Wan Qing then confronted Tao Da Lei directly, discussing their marital relationship and expressing her gratitude towards him, as well as the reality that their marriage was no longer sustainable. She pleaded with Tao Da Lei to agree to a divorce.
Tao Da Lei refused to divorce and tore up the divorce agreement. However, Meng Wan Qing didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore and threatened to pursue legal procedures. Tao Shu Na tried to persuade Tao Da Lei, reminding him of the love they once shared, and suggested that they should part ways amicably by granting Meng Wan Qing the divorce, as her health couldn't withstand any further turmoil.
