Episode 27 recap: Mai Cheng Zao and Liu Wan Yu had a falling out and left home.
The eldest aunt, uncle, and their son Fang Jie came to the house to confront Mai Cheng Zao. Liu Wan Yu tried to persuade Mai Cheng Zao to apologize to them, but Mai Cheng Zao firmly refused. Liu Wan Yu then apologized to the whole family on behalf of Mai Cheng Zao. Mai Cheng Zao was very upset, and Mai Cheng Huan detailed all the grievances Mai Cheng Zao had suffered.
Angered, Mai Cheng Zao ran away from home. Mao Mao took in Mai Cheng Zao, and Yao Zhi Ming gently persuaded Liu Wan Yu. When Mai Cheng Huan learned that the Liu family had come to confront Mai Cheng Zao, Yao Zhi Ming escorted Liu Wan Rong back home, wanting to go with her to handle the matter, but Mai Cheng Huan knew the Liu family were difficult to deal with, so she did not want Yao Zhi Ming to get involved.
Liu Wan Yu scolded Mai Cheng Zao without knowing the full story, forcing him to apologize to Fang Jie. Mai Cheng Zao firmly refused, as he had been bullied by Fang Jie since he was young. Mai Cheng Zao had hidden all his grievances to avoid upsetting Liu Wan Yu.
Mai Cheng Huan rushed to defend Mai Cheng Zao. She learned from Mao Mao that the root cause was a conflict between Ding Ding and Qiu Qiu, and Fang Jie had been relentless. Fang Zhihong thought Mai Cheng Huan and Mai Cheng Zao were ganging up to bully them, and angrily confronted Liu Wan Yu, who then apologized on behalf of Mai Cheng Zao.
Unable to bear it any longer, Mai Cheng Zao, unwilling to reveal his long-held grievances, stormed out, feeling Liu Wan Yu did not care about him. Mai Cheng Huan stood up for Mai Cheng Zao, detailing the mistreatment he had suffered at the eldest aunt's house since childhood. Liu Wan Yu was shocked, realizing the extent of Mai Cheng Zao's suffering.
Fang Zhihong, in a fit of shame and anger, accused Mai Cheng Huan of being psychologically abnormal, which was why she had delayed marriage and having children. Liu Wan Yu angrily argued with Fang Zhihong and then locked herself in her room, crying.
Mai Cheng Zao met Yao Zhi Ming outside and asked him to convey a message to Mai Cheng Huan, asking her not to worry about him. Yao Zhi Ming suddenly barged in and forcibly removed Fang Zhihong and Fang Jie, and Liu Wan Rong apologized profusely to Liu Wan Yu before leaving. Yao Zhi Ming advised Mai Cheng Huan not to be angry, and to go talk to Liu Wan Yu, but Mai Cheng Huan was worried they would argue again, and wanted to go to Xing'an Li to clean up the mess with Fang Zhihong and his son.
Mai Cheng Huan called Mao Mao, asking him to persuade Mai Cheng Zao. When Mai Cheng Zao came to the store, Mao Mao gently coaxed him to reveal what had happened, and promised to take him in, which moved Mai Cheng Zao to tears.
Yao Zhi Ming went to find Liu Wan Yu to apologize, admitting he had acted rashly in chasing away the Fang family. Liu Wan Yu was worried about the day's events, and was shocked to learn of the mistreatment Mai Cheng Zao had suffered at his hometown.
Liu Wan Yu fully reimbursed Liu Wan Yu for the accommodation and meal expenses at Xing'an Li, and Liu Wan Yu knew that the sisters had completely fallen out. Mai Lai Tian advised Liu Wan Yu not to flaunt her wealth in front of her relatives, as it would bring unnecessary pressure to Mai Cheng Huan. Yao Zhi Ming revealed the difficulties that Mai Cheng Huan has been facing recently, and Liu Wan Yu felt very guilty.
Mai Cheng Huan came to the Xing'an Li Hotel and, together with the housekeeper, cleaned up the mess that the Fang family had left in the room. Mai Cheng Huan was busy late into the night, and Yao Zhi Ming waited for her the whole time, taking her to soak in the hot springs. Yao Zhi Ming was hesitant to soak in the pool with the fish that eat dead skin, and Mai Cheng Huan couldn't help but tease him. Finally, Yao Zhi Ming worked up the courage to soak his feet, and he took the opportunity to persuade Mai Cheng Huan to go back to the old manor with him, but Mai Cheng Huan politely declined, guessing that he was acting on Liu Wan Yu's behalf.
Liu Wan Yu called and texted Mai Cheng Zao, but she didn't respond. Liu Wan Yu was worried that Mai Cheng Zao had nowhere to go, but when Mai Lai Tian said that Mai Cheng Zao was staying at a friend's place, Liu Wan Yu felt a little relieved.
Zhang Pei Sheng urged Yao Zhi Ming to quickly take over the Xing'an Li Hotel, as there were only 10 days left until the deadline. Yao Zhi Ming claimed he needed to report to the head office's Anbo, which made Zhang Pei Sheng grit his teeth in anger. Liu Wan Yu cooked her signature dishes and posted a message in the family group chat, inviting Mai Cheng Huan and Mai Cheng Zao to come home for dinner.
Mai Cheng Huan and Fang Da reached a cooperation agreement, and they were getting along well. A little flower-selling girl mistook them for a couple and told Fang Da to buy a bouquet for Mai Cheng Huan. Yao Zhi Ming arrived just in time and bought a bouquet, introducing himself as Mai Cheng Huan's boyfriend, causing Fang Da to make an excuse and leave quickly.
Mai Cheng Huan teased Yao Zhi Ming for being a jealous person and asked him to come with her to find Mai Cheng Zao. Liu Wan Yu prepared a big table of dishes, but Mai Cheng Zao and Mai Cheng Huan didn't come back, making her feel very disappointed. Mai Lai Tian kept her company while she ate, but Liu Wan Yu was not appreciative.
Mai Cheng Huan brought Yao Zhi Ming to Mao Mao's place to find Mai Cheng Zao and announced their relationship. Mai Cheng Huan had already noticed that Mai Cheng Zao and Mao Mao were dating. Yao Zhi Ming took the opportunity to persuade Mai Cheng Huan and Mai Cheng Zao to go home and have dinner with Liu Wan Yu, and Mao Mao also advised Mai Cheng Zao to reconcile with Liu Wan Yu.
With Mai Cheng Zao's birthday coming up soon, Mai Cheng Huan decided to go home first the next day and have a serious talk with Liu Wan Yu, so that Mai Cheng Zao could come home to celebrate her birthday.
Yao Zhi Ming returned to the old manor, and Liu Wan Yu wanted to go to the Xing'an Li Hotel to see Mai Cheng Huan, but Yao Zhi Ming persuaded her not to go to Mai Cheng Huan's workplace, so she gave up.
Zhang Zi Yu volunteered to work at the Xing'an Li Hotel to prove herself to Zhang Pei Sheng, and Mai Cheng Huan agreed to let her stay and work there. Mai Cheng Huan called on the employees to work hard and strive to be rated as one of the top 10 hotels. Liao Gang publicly questioned Mai Cheng Huan, and Liu Wan Yu came to bring Mai Cheng Huan dinner, witnessing Liao Gang's confrontation with Mai Cheng Huan.
