Episode 31 recap: Jia Hao Wen and Xu Meng Xin are facing a marriage crisis.
Jia Hao Wen and Xu Meng Xin are facing a marriage crisis.Since Jia Hao Wen hired a professional postpartum doula from the maternity center, Xu Meng Xin discovered that her mother-in-law and Lan Xiang were constantly surrounding the doula, always catering to her and teaching her how to take care of the child.
Even when Jia Hao Wen came home, he would follow the doula and learn massage techniques from her. Everyone's focus was on the child and the doula, which made Xu Meng Xin extremely unhappy. One morning, she overheard a conversation between her mother-in-law and the doula and saw that the doula was wearing a silk scarf similar to the one Jia Hao Wen had given her. Xu Meng Xin was consumed by jealousy and immediately rushed out, questioning the doula if she had deliberately come to the house to flirt with Jia Hao Wen. She not only accused the doula but also blamed her mother-in-law for intentionally getting close to the doula, obviously wanting to drive her away. The mother-in-law immediately explained that the silk scarf the doula was wearing was one she had just given her, but Xu Meng Xin was no longer willing to listen. The doula, with tears in her eyes, explained that she was only a professional postpartum doula and would not do anything inappropriate. To avoid further suspicion, the doula quickly gathered her belongings and left.
While Jia Hao Wen was earnestly presenting his suggestions at the board meeting, preparing to update a batch of equipment, Xu Meng Xin kept calling him, constantly interrupting his train of thought. Jia Hao Wen had no choice but to turn off his phone, accidentally touching his laptop, where Xu Meng Xin's WeChat messages were playing, berating Jia Hao Wen for getting involved with the doula. All the directors heard this, and their opinion of Chen Wan Zhen naturally declined, so they did not provide the expected investment.
The chairman was also very annoyed with Chen Wan Zhen. Initially, Chen Wan Zhen was always rushing back home to take care of the pregnant woman, neglecting the company's business, which had angered the chairman. Now, it was even worse, with everyone turning against him. Finally, the board unanimously decided to suspend Jia Hao Wen for a while. Xu Meng Xin's phone kept ringing, and Jia Hao Wen was at a loss, caught between work and family, feeling that he had not handled either side well.
Xu Meng Xin took the child and returned to her parents' home. With the doula gone, she now had to care for her stroke-stricken father. Fortunately, Li Jing visited Xu Meng Xin and, seeing how busy they were, proactively took on the responsibility of caring for the child. Li Jing had previously received training at the maternity center and was adept at taking care of the child.
Xu Meng Xin accidentally shattered the wedding photo of her and Jia Hao Wen. As she was picking up the broken pieces from the floor, Xu Meng Xin had a strong urge to slit her wrists and commit suicide. Fortunately, Li Jing walked in at that moment and brought her a bowl of bird's nest soup, gently coaxing Xu Meng Xin to get up from the floor.
Meanwhile, Liu Siming, a former suitor of Li Lin, publicly confessed his love for her, much to Li Lin's annoyance. Liu Siming used to be their neighbor, and the two children were childhood friends. However, now that Li Lin is in her critical middle school years, Li Lin is absolutely not allowing his daughter to be distracted by an early romance. He firmly prohibits it.
Li Lin made an appointment to talk with Liu Siming's father. Liu's father was very straightforward, praising Li Lin as a sensible person and complimenting his own son's academic performance, even though they had moved away but still wanted his son to attend the same school as Li Lin. Li Lin interrupted a few times, tactfully expressing his concerns. Finally, when Liu's father firmly declared that he would not consent to his son's early romance, Li Lin could finally rest assured.
