Episode 18 recap: Jingwen framed Linxian for money.

Haozi and Jingwen returned from their trip and originally intended to send Jingwen back. However, Linxian urged Haozi to bring him light strings and balloons. Upon hearing this, Jingwen immediately asked Linxian why he needed those things. She learned that he wanted to propose to Zhuang Xiaoman and believed that they were originally just acting. She didn't want the innocent Zhuang Xiaoman to be hurt, so she deliberately went to find Lu Yao.

Jingwen reached out to shake hands with Lu Yao, but he completely ignored her, which made Jingwen feel insulted. Lu Yao knew that Linxian really wanted to propose to Zhuang Xiaoman and asked Jingwen to sabotage the proposal and make Linxian leave Dadong Village. He would pay Jingwen five million for that. Jingwen felt insulted, but Lu Yao understood human nature and added the position of supervisor. Jingwen convinced herself that in this way, not only would she get what she wanted, but Zhuang Xiaoman would also be spared from being hurt by Linxian. So she gladly agreed to the deal.

Linxian disappeared for a day today, and Zhuang Xiaoman was a little puzzled. At this time, Jingwen came back from the city and brought her a gift, saying that she had a boyfriend but would only reveal his identity at the right time. Haozi helped Linxian set up a secret base, thinking that if Zhuang Xiaoman knew how much effort Linxian had put into it, she would definitely agree. To celebrate in advance, Haozi encouraged Linxian to drink. Linxian didn't want to drink, but he couldn't refuse their hospitality, so he ended up drinking. Unexpectedly, Haozi called Jingwen over, and when Linxian let his guard down because Haozi and Jingwen were together, Jingwen quietly returned to the secret base.
