Episode 25 recap: Zhang Zi Yu pestered Yao Zhi Ming relentlessly.
Yao Zhi Ming hurried to the police station to pick up Zhang Zi Yu, who was telling the police officer about the extortion she had experienced. Liu Wan Yu invited her brother and sister to Shanghai, and Mai Cheng Huan asked them to have dinner at Xing'an Li. The aunt publicly recounted Mai Cheng Zao's embarrassing childhood stories, and Mai Cheng Huan stood up to defend Mai Cheng Zao, but the aunt was adamant. Mai Cheng Zao made an excuse to leave, and Mai Cheng Huan went after him.
Yao Zhi Ming rushed to the police station to pick up Zhang Zi Yu. Zhang Zi Yu is the daughter of Zhang Pei Sheng, and had just started university this year. Yao Zhi Ming was her guardian when he was abroad. She felt bored alone abroad and decided to drop out of school on her own.
Zhang Zi Yu had just returned to the country and was extorted for doing a good deed. She angrily beat up the swindler and scolded him in front of the police officer. Yao Zhi Ming arrived in time to take her away. Zhang Zi Yu wanted to go home with Yao Zhi Ming, but Yao Zhi Ming didn't want to continue the entanglement and told her to go to Zhang Pei Sheng's house. Zhang Pei Sheng was furious to learn that Zhang Zi Yu had dropped out of school. Zhang Zi Yu didn't want to stay alone abroad and continue studying, especially since she was now a travel vlogger with tens of thousands of followers. Zhang Pei Sheng was at a loss for words.
Yao Zhi Ming returned home late and noticed a small night light had been added at the staircase to light his way, guessing it was Mai Cheng Huan's doing. Yao Zhi Ming took the night light to his room, wanting to send a message to thank Mai Cheng Huan but not wanting to disturb her rest, so he posted it on his Moments with the setting that only she could see.
Mai Cheng Huan was not asleep and immediately replied to Yao Zhi Ming's Moments. The next morning, Liu Wan Yu prepared a sumptuous breakfast, but Mai Cheng Huan was too busy with work to eat. Liu Wan Yu was disappointed, so Mai Cheng Huan enrolled her in a senior cooking class and set up a food blogger account for her to share her cooking. Liu Wan Yu took the opportunity to introduce a date to Mai Cheng Huan, who hurriedly left citing work.
Liu Wan Yu persisted in taking the class for a few days but found it boring, so she signed up to learn rock climbing. In his spare time, Mai Lai Tian enjoyed gardening, and Yao Zhi Ming wanted to learn from him, so Mai Lai Tian gave Yao Zhi Ming a potted plant and taught him gardening secrets.
Liu Wan Rong and Fang Zhi Hong, a married couple, brought their son Fang Jie and grandson Qiu Qiu to Shanghai. Liu Wan Rong is the sister of Liu Wan Yu, who warmly welcomed them. Liu Wan Rong couldn't help but feel envious when she saw that Liu Wan Yu's family was living in such a spacious old villa. Liu Wan Yu arranged for the family of four to stay in the deluxe suite at the Xing'an Li Hotel. The front desk clerk asked them to pay a 5,000 yuan deposit, but Liu Wan Yu didn't want to pay it. The butler couldn't make the decision, so he asked them to consult with Mai Cheng Huan.
Mai Cheng Huan arranged a satisfactory room for Liu Wan Rong's family of four, and even invited them to have Shanghai local cuisine, with all the expenses charged to her account. Zhang Zi Yu came to the hotel looking for Yao Zhi Ming, pestering him relentlessly. Disturbed by this, Yao Zhi Ming sent He Dong to escort Zhang Zi Yu away, but He Dong didn't want to get involved and quickly made an excuse to leave.
Zhang Zi Yu asked Yao Zhi Ming to take her out to dinner, so Yao Zhi Ming took her to a fast-food restaurant. Zhang Zi Yu was direct in asking Yao Zhi Ming to be her boyfriend, but Yao Zhi Ming repeatedly emphasized that they were just siblings. Zhang Zi Yu had already guessed this outcome, but she was unwilling to give up and believed that Yao Zhi Ming would eventually accept her.
Mai Cheng Huan invited Liu Wan Rong's family of four to a meal, and Mai Lai Tian and Mai Cheng Zao also joined them. In front of everyone, Fang Zhi Hong brought up the incident of Mai Cheng Zao stealing money as a child, which Fang Jie also echoed. Mai Cheng Huan didn't believe that Mai Cheng Zao would steal money and vehemently defended her, but Mai Cheng Zao didn't want to explain too much and quietly left.
Mai Cheng Huan hurriedly followed her out and asked Mai Cheng Zao about the incident, only to learn that Fang Jie had stolen his parents' money and framed Mai Cheng Zao. Mai Cheng Huan wanted to take Mai Cheng Zao back to clarify the situation, but Mai Cheng Zao didn't want to cause family disputes and decided to endure it for the time being, so Mai Cheng Huan had no choice but to let it go.
Fang Zhi Hong sent a message to summon his nephew Fang Da, who owned a wedding company that had previously bid for a contract at the Xing'an Li Hotel. Fang Zhi Hong and Liu Wan Rong repeatedly urged Mai Cheng Huan to get married, and actively tried to match her up with Fang Da. However, Mai Cheng Huan politely declined, as she only wanted to focus on running the hotel and wasn't considering marriage at the moment. Liu Wan Yu was very impressed with Fang Da and kept persuading Mai Cheng Huan, but she didn't want to hear it and changed the subject.
Zhang Zi Yu went around asking for Yao Zhi Ming's address. Liu Wan Yu happened to be returning from grocery shopping, and Zhang Zi Yu asked her for directions, claiming to be Yao Zhi Ming's girlfriend. Liu Wan Yu then brought Zhang Zi Yu back home and prepared a meal for her, which she eagerly devoured. Afterward, Liu Wan Yu called Yao Zhi Ming.
Yao Zhi Ming rushed back home and repeatedly explained that he and Zhang Zi Yu had no relationship, then forcefully drove Zhang Zi Yu away.
