Episode 16 recap: Qiu Hao Er was released from prison and returned to the workplace.
Qiu Zhi Bin promised Qiqiq that he would marry her after he finished the D project, which finally made Qiqiq happy. Through looking at the photo album, Qiu Zhi Lan discovered an old photo of Shao Jia Bi from 30 years ago, which had several men in it. Qiu Zhi Lan suspected that one of these men was her biological father. After investigation, she narrowed her suspicion down to the badminton team captain, who was said to be Shao Jia Bi's backup.
Qiu Shou Yi was worried that Qiu Zhi Lan would expose their secret of swapping the children. He planned to send her abroad to study, and when he was about to tell her, he saw the tattoo on her hand and scolded her. Qiu Zhi Lan argued with him.
Shao Jia Bi came to persuade Qiu Zhi Lan not to go against her father. However, Qiu Zhi Lan said that he was not her real father, and showed Shao Jia Bi the DNA test report. Shao Jia Bi was speechless. Qiu Zhi Lan then pointed to the man in the photo and asked if he was her biological father, but Shao Jia Bi denied it in a stammering manner. Qiu Zhi Lan did not believe him, so Shao Jia Bi said that her real father was Zhong Da Ming, who had passed away from cancer. They had a moment of confusion and got involved at that time.
Qiu Shou Yi saw Qiu Zhi Lan drinking alone and thought she was still angry at him for swapping her and Qiu Zhi Bin. He went to comfort her, saying that no matter who her biological parent was, she was still his daughter and he would support her no matter what. Qiu Zhi Lan was touched and felt guilty, and hugged Qiu Shou Yi. After he left, Qiu Zhi Lan broke down in tears.
Qiu Hao Er was released from prison, and Qiu Shou Ren came to pick her up. Qiu Hao Er asked her father to take her to the cemetery to visit her grandfather. He Mei Ying was also there. Qiu Hao Er told her grandfather that she had thought a lot during this period and had a new direction. She said that the grandfather entrusting the diamond mall to her showed his foresight, and she would definitely stop Qiu Shou Yi's D project to make her grandfather at ease.
At the dinner table, Dai Qi Ting kept mocking Qiu Hao Er for going to prison. Zhu Li Qi couldn't stand seeing her stepdaughter being bullied and defended Qiu Hao Er. Qiu Shou Yi mediated between the two, and they finally ceased the argument. Qiu Shou Yi told Qiu Hao Er to take a rest and learn from this experience.
The diamond mall suffered severe damage and needed a long time to be repaired. Qiu Hao Er was helpless about it.
Aunt found many photos in Zhu Li Qi's tablet of him making quick money before, and used it to threaten Zhu Li Qi, demanding not only that he doesn't return the previous 1 million, but also that he gives them an additional 5 million.
Zhao Qi Bang and Qiu Hao Er made plans to have a meal together, where Qiu Hao Er inquired about the situation with the diamond mall. Qiu Hao Er told him everything, and also said that she had been thinking a lot and planned to establish her own company and raise funds personally. Zhao Qi Bang then asked if she had forgotten their previous cooperation, and Qiu Hao Er said that now without the Qiu family's backing, isn't he afraid? Zhao Qi Bang replied that what he was interested in originally was not the Qiu family, but her artificial intelligence concept, and they could still collaborate. Qiu Hao Er agreed.
Afterwards, Qiu Hao Er saw Gao Jun sending off a female client, and proactively approached him to chat. Qiu Hao Er asked why Gao Jun hadn't come to see her, and he said it was because he didn't help her win the lawsuit, so he felt he couldn't face her. Qiu Hao Er believed him. Gao Jun then asked about her future plans, and Qiu Hao Er told him she would be focused on the diamond mall business.
Aunt messaged Zhu Li Qi, offering a discounted price of just 3 million. Zhu Li Qi agreed and made plans to give her the 3 million, but was then informed that Qiu Shou Ren had already bought the tablet for 5 million. Hearing this, Zhu Li Qi was devastated, and went home to start packing his bags. Qiu Shou Ren saw this and said he hadn't looked at the tablet and had already burned it. Zhu Li Qi still harbored resentment, feeling that even if Qiu Shou Ren didn't see it, he must have guessed at her misdeeds. Qiu Shou Ren said he had also made many mistakes in the past, and since she could accept him, he could also accept her, and he didn't care what others thought. Hearing this, Zhu Li Qi was moved, and the two reconciled.
Qiu Hao Er saw that Ma Xiao Ling was wearing the same necklace as Qiu Zhi Bin, and guessed at their relationship. Ma Xiao Ling asked about Qiu Hao Er's upcoming plans, and Qiu Hao Er asked if Qiu Zhi Bin had sent her to inquire. Ma Xiao Ling denied this and tried to mediate the relationship between the two.
Gao Jun picked up the drug-addicted Qiu Zhi Lan from the police station and took her home, which was witnessed by Qiu Hao Er. Qiu Hao Er tried to persuade Qiu Zhi Lan to not be so obsessed, but Qiu Zhi Lan wouldn't listen. Shao Jia Bi told Qiu Zhi Bin that he and Qiu Zhi Lan were actually siblings, in order to get Qiu Zhi Bin to persuade Qiu Zhi Lan.
