Suddenly, Liu Wan Yu called Mai Cheng Huan, saying the water pipes had burst at home. Mai Cheng Huan immediately called Mai Cheng Zao, who asked Liu Yu Xian for leave, but Liu Yu Xian was impatient and told him to go home and finish the legal document.
Mai Cheng Huan rushed back home to find the place flooded. She hurriedly helped Liu Wan Yu clean up the water, while Mai Lai Tian complained as he repaired the pipes. Mai Cheng Zao and Mao Mao arrived with the repair technicians, and Mao Mao advised Mai Cheng Huan to take her parents and stay at a hotel, as the house was uninhabitable. Reluctantly, Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian went with Mai Cheng Huan to the hotel.
At the hotel, Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian blamed each other, and Mai Cheng Huan and Mao Mao took turns comforting them until they were settled. Mai Cheng Huan asked Mao Mao to go home and rest, then returned to the old house to help Mai Cheng Zao clean up the water.

Frustrated, Mai Cheng Zao went to Luo Ming Li to request a transfer, but Luo refused, saying he was keeping Mai Cheng Zao for the Xin family's sake. When Mai Cheng Zao demanded his wages, Luo accused him of lying to avoid overtime, and Mai Cheng Zao ended up resigning on the spot.
