Episode 2 recap: Su Li Discovers Zhang Shu Heng's Affair
In Episode 2, Su Li is taken aback by a shocking text message. As she looks around at the women present, her expression changes dramatically. She interacts with them, puzzled about which one might be the mistress. Later that night, while Zhang Shu Heng is asleep, Su Li sneaks out to call the number from the text, only to find it's disconnected.
The next day, Su Li meets with Chen Ying Ying for coffee and shares her dilemma. She's conflicted about whether the rumor is true, feeling uneasy about questioning Zhang Shu Heng. If it’s true, he likely wouldn’t admit it; if false, it would still hurt him.
Chen Ying Ying asks Su Li what she would do if Zhang Shu Heng really cheated. Su Li insists she wouldn’t let the scumbag and the mistress get away with it. She vows to ruin their lives, making them wish they were never born. Chen Ying Ying is taken aback by Su Li’s fierce determination, sensing something is off.
Suddenly, an angry woman approaches and splashes water on Chen Ying Ying, accusing her of being the mistress. Su Li quickly intervenes, explaining that Chen Ying Ying is just playing a role and that reality shouldn’t be confused with acting. The woman insists that someone who plays the mistress so convincingly must actually be one. Staff members arrive to escort the woman away, and Su Li asks Chen Ying Ying if she wants to report the incident. Chen Ying Ying decides it’s best to avoid escalating the situation.
Chen Ying Ying mentions her boyfriend is coming to pick her up, and Su Li urges her to change clothes to avoid getting cold. Zhang Shu Heng later asks Chen Ying Ying who she’s meeting, and she claims it’s a friend Su Li doesn’t know.
Su Li goes to the office looking for Zhang Shu Heng, but he’s not there. Wang Gang, a colleague, offers to call him but forgets Zhang Shu Heng's number. He asks Su Li to identify which Zhang is which. Su Li notices two entries for "Zhang," one with a space in the middle. When she questions Wang Gang about not using full names, he explains he fears losing his phone and exposing Zhang Shu Heng's number. Su Li recalls a "Wu" who sent a text and another who called, noting that the texting Wu has a space.
Later, while Zhang Shu Heng is in the shower, Su Li seizes the opportunity to check his phone and is shocked to find numerous suggestive messages from the Wu with the space. One message invites Zhang Shu Heng to come over. Realizing Zhang Shu Heng had slipped her a sleeping pill, she doesn’t drink it.
Following Zhang Shu Heng, Su Li discovers him drinking and kissing Chen Ying Ying, even heading to a hotel room. Everyone else seems to know about it. In a fit of anger, Su Li calls the police to report the room number, claiming there are people engaging in prostitution.
