Episode 5 recap: Hao Er knows about Qiu Zhi Bin's background.
Hao Er knows about Qiu Zhi Bin's background.Qiu Shou Yi told Qiu Zhi Bin that Shao Jia Bi is actually his biological mother. Qiu Zhi Bin asked why, and Qiu Shou Yi explained that Qiu Han Yang is a traditional-minded person who values sons over daughters. At that time, Qiu Shou Ren had only one daughter, Qiu Hao Er, and Dai Qi Ting was pregnant with a daughter as well.
However, Shao Jia Bi was carrying a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, which put her in an awkward position. So they exchanged Qiu Zhi Bin with Qiu Zhi Lan, allowing the father and son to legitimately pursue the inheritance rights of the Qiu family. Qiu Zhi Bin couldn't understand why they did this and if they had considered his and Qiu Zhi Lan's feelings. Qiu Shou Yi advised him not to dwell on it too much and asked if Qiu Zhi Bin would have his current position if they hadn't done it. He warned that it wouldn't be a good idea if Qiu Han Yang found out about this and urged him not to tell anyone, emphasizing the importance of the overall situation. Qiu Zhi Bin said he understood.
Qiu Zhi Bin visited his comatose grandfather and reminisced about the days when his grandfather groomed him as the heir. He hoped that his grandfather would wake up soon and acknowledge him as the sole inheritor of the Qiu family. Qiu Han Yang's heart rate showed signs of change, and Qiu Zhi Bin was excited. However, shortly after, Qiu Han Yang's heart rate stabilized again. Qiu Zhi Bin realized that his grandfather was using Qiu Hao Er to motivate him, and he vowed not to disappoint him.
Qiu Zhi Tong and Gao Jun were having afternoon tea at Gao Cheng's shop when Qiu Zhi Tong received a phone call. Her client had been a victim of domestic violence and had moved out. She had now arranged to meet her husband for negotiations at the Lung Shing Teahouse in Sham Shui Po. Gao Cheng mentioned that the teahouse was a chaotic place and asked if Gao Jun should accompany her, but Qiu Zhi Tong declined the offer.
After Qiu Zhi Tong arrived at the location, she was surrounded by a group of thugs. Fortunately, Gao Jun arrived with the police just in time to help Qiu Zhi Tong out of the situation. Gao Jun escorted Qiu Zhi Tong back home, and Qiu Zhi Lan saw them together. She approached Gao Jun and asked a couple of questions, but he gave her a perfunctory response and quickly left. Qiu Zhi Lan then went to Qiu Zhi Tong and asked her about the situation. Qiu Zhi Tong found it strange and asked if she liked Gao Jun. Qiu Zhi Lan hurriedly denied it, but their conversation was overheard by Qiu Hao Er upstairs.
Qiu Hao Er made an appointment with Gao Jun, hoping that he would handle the relationship between him and Qiu Zhi Lan well. Gao Jun stated that he only saw Qiu Zhi Lan as a sister and asked Qiu Hao Er to give him another chance. Qiu Hao Er said that some things cannot be undone and left afterward.
Dai Qi Ting ordered Shao Jia Bi to bring her soup, but Shao Jia Bi accidentally spilled it on her hand. Dai Qi Ting kept complaining, and Qiu Zhi Bin felt uneasy listening to it. Qiu Zhi Bin took ointment and showed concern for Shao Jia Bi, telling her that he already knew everything. Tears welled up in both of their eyes, and Shao Jia Bi took Qiu Zhi Bin to visit her father.
Shao Jia Bi asked Qiu Zhi Bin to keep this secret and take his place as the heir of the Qiu family. Qiu Zhi Bin promised his mother that once he becomes the heir, he will tell everyone that she is his true mother.
Qiu Zhi Tong and Shao Jia Bi ran into Gao Cheng at the supermarket and exchanged greetings. With the help of Qiu Zhi Lan, Zhu Li Qi successfully became the Business Director of Y&N Company. Through the introduction of their mutual friend Ai Ping, Zhu Li Qi signed three artists, including her cousin Fei An. Fei An was the only survivor when Zhu Li Qi's entire family died from charcoal burning suicide. Her uncle's family took her in to claim the insurance money.
Ma Xiao Ling told Qiu Hao Er that Qiu Zhi Bin recently started dating a new girlfriend named Qi Qi. Qiu Hao Er seemed lost in thought upon hearing this. Then, unexpectedly, Ma Xiao Ling ran into her aunt at a restaurant and invited her to join them. After a while, Ma Xiao Ling received a phone call from Qiu Zhi Bin and left briefly. Her aunt told Qiu Hao Er that she was the midwife who helped deliver her in the United States. Qiu Hao Er mentioned that she was born in Hong Kong, but her aunt insisted it was not possible because she had indeed assisted in delivering Qiu Han Yang's child, a daughter. In another delivery room, Qiu Han Yang gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Qiu Hao Er explained that her two aunts did go to the United States to give birth, but they had twin daughters and a son. However, her aunt was certain of her memory, stating that back then, they had requested that all midwives be non-Chinese. Due to an accident involving one of her colleagues, she had to fill in, and that's why she remembered it vividly.
Qiu Hao Er became suspicious and decided to test their DNA. The results showed that Qiu Zhi Bin was indeed Shao Jia Bi's biological child. This revelation had the greatest impact on Qiu Shou Ren because it was this event that led to Qiu Shou Yi inheriting the Qiu family. Qiu Hao Er approached her father to discuss the matter, but Qiu Shou Ren didn't want the truth to be exposed. Reluctantly, Qiu Hao Er agreed to keep it a secret.
Qiu Hao Er visited her grandfather and told him about the situation. She didn't notice any significant changes in her grandfather's heart rate, although his fingers twitched slightly. Six months ago, during the Qiu family's 75th-anniversary celebration, Qiu Han Yang was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He had asked Lawyer Tang to draft a power of attorney for him.
