Episode 32 recap: Chen Xiao Man put aside past grievances and comforted Yujian.
Chen Xun Tong didn't know where to run off to, so Chen Xiao Man hurried out to search for him. Ke Yan held her back, telling her not to be in a rush, as the recent events were from the previous generation of the Chen family. Ke Yan advised Chen Xiao Man not to get involved, as it not only concerned family matters but also had implications for Extreme Wind's next restructuring.
The suggestion was for Chen Xiao Man to give them some time, and wait until everyone had calmed down before making any decisions. Zhao Zhi Hong publicly exposed that Chen Xun Tong was his biological son, which not only hurt Chen Xun Tong but also greatly wounded Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun returned home distraught, but saw his mother Chen Hua Yun calmly painting on ceramics as usual, and she even looked up and smiled at him. This deeply saddened Zhao Jun, so he went back to Zhao Zhi Hong to ask why he had done that today.
It turned out that Zhao Zhi Hong had been secretly instigating his son to act against Extreme Wind. But at today's board meeting, Zhao Zhi Hong publicly dragged Chen Xun Tong into it as well, and announced that he was Zhao Jun's half-brother. This left Zhao Jun unsure of his future.
Zhao Zhi Hong, acting irrationally, questioned why Zhao Jun didn't call him "father", and threw a ceramic vase at him. Chen Hua Yun rushed in to shield her son, scolding Zhao Zhi Hong for mistreating the child. The two argued bitterly, with clear disdain for each other. Zhao Jun, hating to see his parents fight, cried out that if they had no love for each other, why did they have him.
Chen Xiao Man went to see Chen Hua Feng and Xu Man. She explained that their father had been having heart issues and was often preoccupied with work, resulting in the unfortunate incident, which was not entirely their uncle's fault.
Chen Xiao Man's open-minded righteousness moved Chen Hua Feng, as he reflected on his past dedication to the ceramics business and his daughter's excellence. Xu Man and Chen Hua Feng hugged each other and cried.
After comforting Third Uncle, Chen Xiao Man also went to see Yu Jian. During the day, Yu Jian clarified the truth in the board meeting, which was a great psychological impact on him. He didn't feel like eating or drinking the whole day, and Zhou Shi An personally brought the food in front of him, urging him to lift his head up, saying that no matter how big the matter is, as long as he's alive, he can get through it.
Chen Xiao Man came to Yu Jian's side. Although her greatest wish was for her father to accompany her for as long as possible, the matter has already happened. From childhood to now, she had always treated Yu Jian like an elder brother, hoping that he could help her realize her dream and stay by her side forever like an older brother. Hearing these words from Xiao Man, Yu Jian started to pick up the food, thinking that the future is still long, and he would fulfill his promise to always accompany Chen Xiao Man.
Chen Xun Tong went to find Yan Su and Liu Shang to drink, feeling very low. Yan Su and Liu Shang took the opportunity to brainwash him, urging him to draw a clear line with the Chen family as soon as possible, and that the money he has is real gold and silver. They also advised him to face reality soon, but Chen Xun Tong didn't say anything.
That night, very late, Chen Xun Tong finally returned home and started packing his luggage to run away from home. Xu Man desperately tried to hold him back, but Chen Xun Tong just wouldn't listen. The closely following Chen Xun Yao also started persuading his brother. In fact, all these years, Chen Hua Feng had always treated him as his own, without the slightest prejudice, which was evident to all. Perhaps Chen Hua Feng had long recognized Chen Xun Tong in his heart.
Chen Xun Tong, carrying his luggage, passed by Xiao Man's studio and saw Zhao Jun there. He angrily beat him up. Chen Xiao Man promptly pulled the two apart and persuaded Chen Xun Tong to calm down, letting him stay there for the next few days. Chen Xun Tong then went to see Zhao Zhi Hong on his own, asking him why he had abandoned Xu Man. Zhao Zhi Hong immediately began acting pitiful, claiming that he was extremely poor in those years and couldn't afford to support a girlfriend, let alone get married. But these reasons sounded so pale. Zhao Zhi Hong not only didn't show any care or compensation to Chen Xun Tong, but even deliberately instigated that Chen Hua Feng had always been wary of him and favored Chen Xiao Man. If Chen Xun Tong wanted Jifeng, Zhao Zhi Hong would help him get it back.
Chen Xun Tong directly stood up and reminded him without any courtesy: he would never recognize him as a father, and everything about Jifeng was a family affair, which did not need outsiders to meddle in.
