Episode 20 recap: Liu Xiu Ying Wakes Up from the Yangtze River
In Episode 20, Liu Qi Meng noticed something different about Sun Bai Fen's demeanor as they rode the elevator to work together. Liu Qi Meng had been late to work and argumentative with her boss in the past, but now her coworkers were being unusually kind and helpful. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
To add to her confusion, Grandma Liu Xiu Ying's neighbor Xiao Kai came by sweetly calling Liu Qi Meng "Grandma," saying he was going to the hospital to take care of her. But Liu Qi Meng knew Grandma was already back to full health.
At the morning meeting, the boss, Wang Yi Ming, announced that Xiao Kai would be leading an important new project, with Liu Qi Meng as his right-hand assistant. Everyone, especially Sun Bai Fen, seemed thrilled about this news and even gave Liu Qi Meng her official promotion paperwork.
After work, Liu Qi Meng rushed to the hospital to see Grandma Liu Xiu Ying, who was still sleeping. Auntie Fang said Grandma had been carrying some burden on her heart, feeling like she had wronged someone.
Liu Qi Meng's heart ached, as her father had passed away and Grandma was her only family. It hurt her that Grandma had been keeping something from her.
Back at the office, the team was in a heated discussion about the video game "Misty City Poetry Rain." The CEO, Mr. Lin, was critical, but Liu Qi Meng spoke up, explaining how the game could help people find their true selves. This convinced Mr. Lin, and the game was approved.
Afterward, Jiang Wen wanted to publicly acknowledge her relationship with Xiao Kai, but he hesitated, as matters of the heart can be complicated.
At the hospital, Yu Chang Jiang brought good news that there was a chance for Grandma Liu Xiu Ying to compete again in the dance competition. Miraculously, Grandma then woke up, eager to go home.
On the day of Grandma's discharge, the neighbors all came to celebrate. Liu Qi Meng couldn't hold back her tears seeing Grandma. The two had gained a deeper understanding of each other.
That evening, the group gathered to toast Grandma's return. Yu Chang Jiang mustered the courage to confess his feelings and sing a love song. Auntie Fang suggested doing a dance to make up for the one Yu Chang Jiang had missed. But suddenly, Yu Chang Jiang collapsed onto Grandma's shoulder and never woke up. Grandma cried as she watched the man who had quietly protected her slip away.
