Episode 20 recap: Mai Cheng Huan refused to exchange inheritances with Yao Zhi Ming.
Mai Cheng Zao dedicated himself to helping Mao Mao with his work, and Mao Mao was very grateful to him. Mai Cheng Zao took the opportunity to confess his feelings to Mao Mao, and Mao Mao's ex-husband Song Huai Min caught this moment on film.Yao Zhi Ming and Mai Cheng Huan discussed exchanging their inheritances, allowing the Mai family to continue living in the garden villa, while he would properly manage the Xing'an Inn.
Yao Zhi Ming originally expected Chen Shu Zhen to hand over the Xing'an Inn to him, but he was surprised to find that Chen Shu Zhen had left the inn to Mai Cheng Huan, who had no blood relation. This unexpected turn of events angered Yao Zhi Ming, causing him to storm off, and the lawyer had to ask Mai Cheng Huan to pass on Chen Shu Zhen's letter to Yao Zhi Ming.
Mai Cheng Huan was deeply shocked by this, as she had never realized that the Xing'an Inn was Chen Shu Zhen's property.
After learning of this news, Zhang Pei Sheng immediately reminded Yao Zhi Ming not to forget their agreement.
Troubled, Yao Zhi Ming went fishing by the river, where He Dong persuaded him to return to Switzerland. However, Yao Zhi Ming remembered Chen Shu Zhen's final wish and decided to stay, determined to regain the inn.
After the redevelopment plan for the alley was announced, Mai Lai Tian decided to use the compensation to buy a house in the suburbs, while Liu Wan Yu liked the current garden villa and did not want to move.
Upon learning of this, Yao Zhi Ming came up with an idea to exchange the old villa for the Xing'an Inn.
Under the guidance of the butler Cui, Mai Cheng Huan took over the management of the inn, but she had no idea how to run such a large hotel. Cui promised to provide full support to help her. At this moment, Yao Zhi Ming approached them and openly proposed his plan to exchange the inn.
Mai Cheng Huan understood Yao Zhi Ming's true purpose for returning home, and she refused his proposal, insisting on honoring Chen Shu Zhen's last wishes. Chen Shu Zhen had already anticipated that Yao Zhi Ming would be dissatisfied, and she hoped he could genuinely help Mai Cheng Huan.
When reviewing the Xing'an Inn's accounts, Mai Cheng Huan discovered the difficulties in its operations, which troubled her. Zhang Pei Sheng noticed Yao Zhi Ming's indecision, so he sent gifts to the inn, attempting to intimidate Mai Cheng Huan.
Mao Mao nearly fell while hanging a photo, and Mai Cheng Zao rescued him in time, but this led to a misunderstanding and mockery from Song Huai Min. Mai Cheng Zao resolutely protected Mao Mao, vowing to use the law to defend him, forcing Song Huai Min to back down.
Mao Mao was concerned about burdening Mai Cheng Zao, but his sincere confession caught Mao Mao off guard, causing him to retreat hastily.
Liu Wan Yu's old house was about to be demolished, and Mai Cheng Huan took over the inn, returning home to celebrate, much to Liu Wan Yu's delight. Family and friends congratulated them, and Liu Wan Yu enthusiastically invited them to visit Shanghai and stay at the hotel.
Liu Wan Yu enthusiastically inspected the hotel's food and drink, criticizing it extensively and recording the problems, holding the head chef accountable.
Mai Cheng Huan rushed over to mediate, allowing Liu Wan Yu to leave. She urged Liu Wan Yu to move out of the old villa, as Chen Shu Zhen had already given the house to Yao Zhi Ming.
