Episode 24 recap: Qiu Zhi Bin has mortgaged his own shares.
Gao Jun handed the video over to the police, and the police said that although the scarf is very similar to the one Qiu Zhi Lan wore before her death, they cannot prove it is the same one, and it has been burned. Even if they could prove it was Qiu Zhi Lan's, it doesn't mean Qiu Zhi Bin killed her, they need to continue investigating.
Qiu Zhi Bin bought a new house for Ma Xiao Ling, and Ma Xiao Ling was very moved. She helped him set up a meeting with Qiu Hao Er. When Qiu Hao Er arrived, Ma Xiao Ling made an excuse to leave, giving them space. Qiu Zhi Bin hopes Qiu Hao Er can help him regain Qiu Shou Yi's trust. He originally wanted to invest in a luxury resort and a D project in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, but was rejected by Qiu Shou Yi, so he wants to invest under his own name. Qiu Zhi Bin is willing to mortgage 10% of his shares to Qiu Hao Er to obtain 8 billion in funding, and Qiu Hao Er agreed to consider it.
Qiu Hao Er found Zhao Qi Bang and said she wanted to borrow 8 billion in the name of Erebus to lend to Qiu Zhi Bin for this project, but Erebus doesn't have that much capital currently, so she wants to mortgage the Creative Workshop property to Zhao's family, who will then lend the money to Erebus, and Erebus will lend it to Qiu Zhi Bin. Her main goal is to obtain the shares from Qiu Zhi Bin through this loan. Zhao Qi Bang sees how important the 10% shares are to Qiu Hao Er, and says he will definitely support her, needing to discuss it with the board and his mother.
Qiu Hao Er tells Qiu Zhi Bin she is willing to lend him the money interest-free, but afterwards he must announce in the board meeting that he will give 5% of the shares to her. Qiu Zhi Bin weighs the pros and cons and agrees. Qiu Shou Ren thinks Qiu Hao Er is taking too big a risk, but Qiu Hao Er says she must protect the Qiu family for her grandfather.
Zhu Li Qi and Dai Qi Ting attended a charity gala together, and Zhu Li Qi was very caring towards Dai Qi Ting during the preparations. Shao Jia Bi found this strange, and Zhu Li Qi also invited everyone to her yacht party.
Previously, Zhao Qi Bang told his mother that he and Qiu Hao Er were at the stage of discussing marriage, so the mother agreed to lend such a large sum of money to Qiu Hao Er. Now the mother is urging Zhao Qi Bang to marry Qiu Hao Er quickly, but Zhao Qi Bang has been evasive, leaving the mother very helpless.
Qiu Zhi Bin encountered Gao Jun at a bar, and approached him to stir up trouble between him and Qiu Hao Er, saying that Qiu Hao Er has been getting close to Zhao Qi Bang lately and has already forgotten about him. Gao Jun warned him that who Qiu Hao Er is with is none of his business, and told him to mind his own affairs.
Gao Jun went home and drowned his sorrows in alcohol. Gao Cheng, however, felt that he and Qiu Zhi Bin were half-brothers, and if Qiu Hao Er found out, it would be hard to imagine her reaction, so it would be better for them to part ways.
Zhao Qi Bang's mother privately met with Qiu Hao Er, hoping that she and Zhao Qi Bang would get married soon. Qiu Hao Er was surprised, saying that marriage was not part of her plan. Zhao Qi Bang's mother's expression changed upon hearing this. When they were settling the bill, Zhao Qi Bang's mother suddenly suffered a stroke and fainted. Qiu Hao Er quickly took her to the hospital, and since she was brought in time, Zhao Qi Bang's mother was not in serious condition. Both Zhao Qi Bang and Qiu Hao Er heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Qi Bang went in to visit his mother alone, and she scolded him for daring to lie to her, as he had never actually talked to Qiu Hao Er about marriage. Zhao Qi Bang pacified her, saying that he just wanted to help Qiu Hao Er, and the lie was because he didn't want their relationship to be based on money. However, Zhao Qi Bang's mother did not agree with his reasoning and said she would reconsider the loan matter. Qiu Hao Er, who was standing outside the door, heard everything. She then went into the room and said that she was not considering marriage because she wanted to fulfill her grandfather's wishes first. She then linked arms with Zhao Qi Bang and said that he respected her decision and had agreed not to bring up marriage again until her career had developed to a certain level, so the mother should not blame him. The mother believed them and agreed not to push the two to get married again.
He Mei Ying sensed Qiu Hao Er's troubles and tried to comfort her, but Qiu Hao Er still didn't know how to decide. With Zhu Li Qi's deliberate closeness, her relationship with Dai Qi Ting improved a lot. At the night yacht party, Zhu Li Qi notified Shao Jia Bi that the event was cancelled, and only took Dai Qi Ting onto the yacht. Qiu Shou Ren tried to call both of them but got no answer, and was very worried.
Zhu Li Qi got Dai Qi Ting drunk, tied her to a chair on the enclosed yacht, and lit burning charcoal, using water to wake her up and accuse her of the evil act of causing his parents' death years ago.
