Episode 30 recap: Yao Zhi Ming tried to stop Yao Ren Fu from causing trouble at the Mai family's residence.
Liao Gang abused his power for personal gain, and Mai Cheng Huan took disciplinary action against him. Liao Gang publicly splashed water on Mai Cheng Huan's face. Yao Zhi Ming accompanied Mai Cheng Huan and advised her kindly.Yao Zhi Ming's father, Yao Ren Fu, was released after serving his sentence. He came directly to hold Mai Cheng Huan accountable and demanded that she return the Xing'an Hotel to him. Liu Wan Yu and Yao Ren Fu had a heated argument.
Upon learning of the situation, Yao Zhi Ming drove Yao Ren Fu out of their home. Mai Cheng Huan desperately tried to make Yao Zhi Ming happy and promised to stay by his side. Zhang Zi Yu sent Yao Zhi Ming a video of Liao Gang causing trouble with Mai Cheng Huan. Yao Zhi Ming immediately went to the Xing'an Hotel, and due to exhaustion from recent days, Mai Cheng Huan fell ill. Yao Zhi Ming took her to the hospital.
Mai Cheng Huan was deeply saddened. She devoted herself to her work and always considered the well-being of her employees. However, she ended up in such a situation. Yao Zhi Ming advised her kindly and did his best to cheer her up, finally bringing a smile to her face. Yao Zhi Ming left for a business trip early in the morning and asked Mai Cheng Huan to rest well.
As Mai Cheng Huan's health gradually recovered, she went to the mall for a leisurely stroll and coincidentally met her former colleague Duo Duo, who had resigned from the apartment management. Mai Cheng Huan invited Duo Duo to work at Xing'an Hotel, and Duo Duo eagerly accepted. Although she was worried about her competence, Mai Cheng Huan believed in her abilities.
Mai Cheng Zao visited Liu Wan Yu early in the morning and specially bought their favorite snacks. Liu Wan Yu was moved to tears and quickly went to cook shrimp dumplings for Mai Cheng Zao, who enjoyed them heartily.
Liu Wan Yu admitted that she hadn't cared enough about Mai Cheng Zao over the years and had overlooked his growth and progress. She apologized to Mai Cheng Zao, who had long since let go of any grudges. Mother and son reconciled and made amends.
Mai Cheng Huan felt overjoyed upon seeing Mai Cheng Zao and Liu Wan Yu talking and laughing downstairs. Liu Wan Yu handed Mai Cheng Huan a recipe book to order dishes, then went downstairs to prepare. Yao Zhi Ming, concerned about Mai Cheng Huan, finished his tasks early and hurried back to Shanghai.
After Yao Ren Fu's release from prison, he went straight to the old western-style house. Liu Wan Yu tried to drive him away, but Yao Ren Fu not only refused to leave but also boldly entered the house, demanding to see Yao Zhi Ming. Upon learning that he was Yao Zhi Ming's father, Mai Cheng Huan immediately called Yao Zhi Ming to inform him.
Yao Zhi Ming quickly arrived at the old Western-style house and became furious upon seeing Yao Ren Fu. He forcefully took Yao Ren Fu away, leaving Liu Wan Yu dumbfounded when she learned that Yao Ren Fu had just been released from prison. Yao Zhi Ming drove Yao Ren Fu to the airport, intending to send him to Switzerland. However, unwilling to leave, Yao Ren Fu secretly got out of the car and escaped during a red light, leaving Yao Zhi Ming speechless with anger.
Yao Ren Fu had a gambling addiction and disregarded Yao Zhi Ming and his mother. His mother, unable to tolerate it any longer, left them. Yao Zhi Ming had suffered a lot since childhood and felt a burning rage whenever he thought of Yao Ren Fu. When Mai Cheng Huan sent a message to greet Yao Zhi Ming, he didn't want her to worry and quickly found an excuse to cover up the past.
Yao Ren Fu caused trouble at the Xing'an Hotel, claiming that it belonged to him. Mai Cheng Huan rushed over and clearly explained that Chen Shu Zhen had left the hotel to her in her will. However, Yao Ren Fu didn't listen and hurled insults at Mai Cheng Huan, demanding that she return the hotel to Yao Zhi Ming. Otherwise, he threatened to stay there and defend it until the end.
Mai Cheng Huan had Yao Ren Fu arranged in a guest room. Yao Zhi Ming arrived shortly after and urged Yao Ren Fu to leave Xing'an Hotel immediately. However, Yao Ren Fu refused to comply. Yao Zhi Ming listed all of Yao Ren Fu's wrongdoings, making him feel guilty towards Yao Zhi Ming. Yao Ren Fu wanted to take back Xing'an Hotel and return it to Yao Zhi Ming, but Yao Zhi Ming didn't buy into his words and insisted on driving him away. As a result, Yao Ren Fu locked himself in his room and refused to come out.
Upon hearing Yao Zhi Ming and Yao Ren Fu arguing, Mai Cheng Huan rushed over to console Yao Zhi Ming and called He Dong for assistance. Yao Zhi Ming returned home with a dejected look, went upstairs without saying a word, and locked himself in his room. Mai Cheng Huan followed him, but Yao Zhi Ming didn't respond. Helpless, Mai Cheng Huan waited outside the door.
Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian noticed that something was wrong with Mai Cheng Huan but didn't want to intrude, so they hid. Mai Cheng Huan jumped and danced on the balcony, striking various adorable poses, desperately trying to cheer up Yao Zhi Ming. Yao Zhi Ming finally let go of some of his worries and agreed to let Mai Cheng Huan into his room.
Mai Cheng Huan promised to stand by Yao Zhi Ming's side and face whatever challenges lay ahead together, including dealing with Yao Ren Fu. Liu Wan Yu went to Mai Cheng Huan's room but found it empty. She then went to Yao Zhi Ming's room and discovered that Mai Cheng Huan was indeed inside. Liu Wan Yu called Mai Cheng Huan out and reminded her not to meddle in Yao Zhi Ming's family affairs.
Later that night, Mai Cheng Huan sat alone in the yard, swinging on a swing. Mai Lai Tian came to talk to her and have a heart-to-heart conversation.
