Episode 11 recap: Mai Cheng Huan and Xin Jia Liang decided to break up.
Mai Cheng Zao advised Mai Cheng Huan to leave Xin Jia Liang, as Xin Jia Liang was not a responsible person. Liu Wan Yu came to confront Xin Jia Liang, and Mai Cheng Huan desperately tried to persuade Liu Wan Yu, but Xin Jia Liang openly humiliated Liu Wan Yu. At that moment, Mai Cheng Huan lost her temper and broke up with Xin Jia Liang, with Yao Zhi Ming watching the whole scene clearly.
Luo Ming Li affirmed Mai Cheng Zao's efforts, and openly criticized the lawyer Liu in front of everyone. Liu the lawyer was furious, knowing that Luo Ming Li was the brother-in-law of Mai Cheng Huan's fiancé Mai Cheng Zao's sister, and still scolded Mai Cheng Zao to vent his frustration.
Mai Cheng Huan was very helpful to Ms. Chen, trying her best to fulfill any unreasonable demands she had. She also invited Ms. Chen to attend a hotel wine tasting event, so that Ms. Chen could have the opportunity to meet some clients. Ms. Chen was very moved and grateful to Mai Cheng Huan for arranging this rare opportunity, and immediately paid off the outstanding property fees. Yao Zhi Ming witnessed this and felt very relieved.
Mai Cheng Huan worked hard every day, serving each property owner with enthusiasm, and quickly gained everyone's recognition. Even very late at night, she was still at work. Liu Wan Yu was worried, and asked Mai Cheng Zao about Mai Cheng Huan and Xin Jia Liang's relationship. Mai Cheng Zao made up excuses to cover it up, and Mai Lai Tian also helped cover for her. Liu Wan Yu didn't ask further.
When Mai Cheng Huan finally got home very late, her parents had gone to the supermarket. Mai Cheng Zao took the opportunity to advise her to leave Xin Jia Liang, not to compromise her future because of him. Mai Cheng Huan told him to focus on his work, and not let her relationship with Xin Jia Liang affect his future.
Liu Wan Yu sensed that Mai Cheng Zao was hiding something, suspecting that Mai Cheng Huan had an argument with Xin Jia Liang, but didn't directly ask Mai Cheng Huan. Mai Lai Tian advised her not to interfere with the children's marriage affairs, but Liu Wan Yu couldn't let it go and decided to go to the Xin family to find out the truth.
Early the next morning, Liu Wan Yu brought smoked fish to Chen De Jing. Chen De Jing saw through her intentions immediately, and accused Mai Cheng Huan and Yao Zhi Ming of colluding to ruin the Xin family - that Mai Cheng Huan had revealed the bidding price to the Xin family's competitors, and Yao Zhi Ming had reported Xin Jia Liang's kickbacks to Mai Cheng Huan.
After learning the truth, Liu Wan Yu felt that Mai Cheng Huan had done nothing wrong. But Xin Jia Liang's wife stood up and yelled at Liu Wan Yu. Liu Wan Yu didn't want to argue with them, and just took the smoked fish and left. As it started raining heavily, Mai Lai Tian learned that Liu Wan Yu had gone to the Xin family, and wanted to send Yao Zhi Ming back home to pick up Liu Wan Yu.
Xin Jiali inadvertently revealed that she had asked Mai Chenghuan to sign a prenuptial agreement. Liu Wanyu was furious and couldn't believe they would force Mai Chenghuan to sign such a humiliating agreement. When Mai Chenghuan heard the news, she rushed over, took Liu Wanyu's hand, and left. Xin Jiali humiliated Liu Wanyu in every possible way, but Xin Jialiang couldn't bear to listen and quickly intervened to stop Xin Jiali. Mai Chenghuan couldn't tolerate it anymore and announced on the spot that she had not revealed the bottom line and knew nothing about kickbacks. She wouldn't let her parents suffer any grievances because of her love for Xin Jialiang. She broke up with Xin Jialiang and, after saying these words, she took Liu Wanyu and left.
Xin Jialiang chased after them in the rain. Liu Wanyu advised Mai Chenghuan to have a good talk with Xin Jialiang. Mai Chenghuan asked Liu Wanyu to stand under the umbrella at the door to avoid the rain. She once again proposed breaking up with Xin Jialiang, but Xin Jialiang was reluctant. He expressed all the grievances he had been holding inside, saying that he had quarreled with Xin Jiali countless times for the sake of Mai Chenghuan and Liu Wanyu. Mai Chenghuan felt exhausted and didn't want to be tormented by this relationship anymore. She resolutely turned around and left. Mai Laitian drove and came to pick up Liu Wanyu with Yao Zhiming. They witnessed the whole scene from a distance.
Yao Zhiming asked Mai Laitian to send Liu Wanyu and Mai Chenghuan first, and he would find a way to go home by himself. Mai Chenghuan saw Xin Jialiang standing alone in the rain and silently wished him happiness. As soon as Mai Chenghuan returned home, she locked herself in the room. She neither ate nor drank nor spoke. Mai Chengzao came home early from work and learned that Mai Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang had broken up. He was relieved for Mai Chenghuan. Liu Wanyu was worried that Mai Chenghuan might be in a bad state of mind, so she wanted to go inside and check on her. Mai Chenghuan smiled and opened the door, then quickly left, using the excuse of buying laundry detergent.
Mai Chenghuan came to the bank of the Huangpu River alone, and Mai Chengzao followed. He kindly advised her, and he had already thought about resigning from Fangyuan Law Firm. Mai Chenghuan advised him not to act impulsively and not to let her and Xin Jialiang's affair affect his future. Liu Wanyu had prepared a sumptuous breakfast, but Mai Chenghuan had no appetite. She didn't eat and went to work. Liu Wanyu was very worried, but Mai Chengzao believed that Mai Chenghuan would be able to overcome it. Liu Wanyu asked Mai Chengzao to persuade Mai Chenghuan to reconcile with Xin Jialiang, but Mai Chengzao felt that they weren't suitable for each other.
When Mai Chenghuan walked into the lobby of the apartment, she didn't notice the warning sign put up by the cleaning aunt and slipped and fell to the ground. Fortunately, her colleagues arrived in time to help her up. Yao Zhiming happened to be in the lobby, and he wanted to comfort Mai Chenghuan but ultimately gave up. Manager Zhang praised Mai Chenghuan's work and encouraged everyone to learn from her. Maomao heard about Mai Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang's breakup and came to comfort her immediately. Mai Chenghuan felt very sad in her heart.
