Episode 21 recap: Zhu Jing Cao is in a difficult situation.
Gu Mo Li went to find Zhu Jing Cao and questioned why he didn't produce the recording he had in his hand, which clearly implicated Gao Xia Jing's subordinate. Zhu Jing Cao remained silent. Zhang Shan Ya hid behind a car and eavesdropped on their conversation. Zhu Jing Cao saw the video from the kindergarten and learned that Coco had a fever because Gao Xia Jing fed her ice cream mooncakes and poured a glass of water on her. Gu Mo Li said she didn't want to get married and planned to be a happy single mother with her daughter. Zhou Yu didn't mind because Gu Mo Li didn't say she wouldn't date.
Zhou Yu called Gu Mo Li to the taekwondo gym just to talk to her about dating. Gu Mo Li was speechless and immediately declared that if he ever brought up the topic again, she wouldn't recognize him anymore. After saying that, she left without hesitation. Zhu Jing Cao planned to work as an online car-hailing driver temporarily. He didn't dare to tell his parents about being fired. Wang Ling Xiao expressed understanding and was willing to lend a helping hand, but Zhu Jing Cao didn't plan to ask for his help. He just wanted to chat with him.
At the same time, Zhu Jing Cao also went for job interviews. However, the internet industry is small, and he became a hot topic due to the incident with Gao Xia Jing. Many people outside were filming him with their phones. In order to delay time, the personnel department changed several times and made Zhu Jing Cao fill out various forms. Finally, he stood up angrily and left, no longer willing to be a spectacle.
Zhang Shan Ya went to the company to find Zhu Jing Cao and unexpectedly learned that his son had resigned last Tuesday. Gu Mo Li introduced paintings to customers. Some people couldn't get enough of the drama and tried to film her with their phones, but they were stopped. The other party even acted arrogantly. In the end, it was Mi Na who helped Gu Mo Li out, which surprised her.
Zhu Jing Cao's job search was not going smoothly. Many companies were willing to hire him, but they only focused on the attention he received from being a hot topic, rather than his skills and abilities. During the job search, Zhu Jing Cao also drove for online car-hailing to earn money. One day, he unexpectedly picked up his ex-father-in-law, Gu De Mao. It inevitably turned into a lecture, but Zhu Jing Cao resisted the pressure and stated that he would not let Gu Mo Li and Coco suffer.
As a middle-aged man, Zhu Jing Cao has faced many hardships, but he still has to withstand the pressures of life.
Zhang Shan Ya went to the art gallery to find Gu Mo Li, but it turned out that Jasmine didn't know that Zhu Jing Cao had resigned, and she didn't want to contact him either. Before leaving, Zhang Shan Ya honestly admitted that the Zhu family had treated Jasmine poorly, but she could also see that Jasmine and Jing Cao were deeply in love and shouldn't remain estranged like this.
Zhu Jing Cao wanted to terminate his lease early, but the landlord deducted 3,000 out of the 5,000 deposit. Zhu Jing Cao had two more days to stay in the apartment. He lay on the bed, staring at a photo of Gu Mo Li, lost in thought, reminiscing about their first encounter. Since reaching a dead end with Gu Mo Li, Zhang Shan Ya sought out Wu Yu Lan and learned that Zhu Jing Cao had been fired by the company. Wu Yu Lan offered her a suggestion.
Gu Mo Li, feeling distressed after a conversation with her former mother-in-law, hastily painted and had some drinks. She took a taxi straight to Zhu Jing Cao's apartment. Little did she know that Zhang Shan Ya had followed her, eavesdropping on their conversation. After a heated argument, Gu Mo Li left in anger. Zhang Shan Ya revealed herself from behind the car and urged her son to go after Gu Mo Li, but Zhu Jing Cao was unwilling.
Jasmine went to Shen Liu Liu to vent her frustrations, unable to understand why Zhu Jing Cao had shown mercy to Gao Xia Jing's subordinate when he had recordings in his possession. Jasmine had her own pile of problems and didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Liu Liu's health. During a meeting, Shen Liu Liu had severe morning sickness and had to take leave to go home.
Zhu Jing Cao completed the necessary procedures and went to the kindergarten to review the surveillance footage. He also enlisted the help of a computer expert to search for specific video recordings during a certain time period. Zhang Shan Ya went to Gao Xia Jing's place, but she learned from the neighbors that Gao Xia Jing had moved out and signed a contract with a short video company to become an internet celebrity, meaning it would be easy to find her online.
Wu Yu Lan and Zhang Shan Ya watched Gao Xia Jing's live broadcast and discovered that she was distorting the truth. With the help of a recording that Wu Yu Lan found based on Gu De Mao's reminder, they began training Zhang Shan Ya on how to clap back at Gao Xia Jing online, almost getting caught by their teacher.
At Yan Li's art exhibition, the reporters wanted to interview Gu Mo Li about her ex-husband's involvement in a scandal, but Gu Mo Li quickly changed the subject.
