Episode 7 recap: Su Li Confronts Zhang Shu Heng
In Episode 7, Su Li and Zhang Shu Heng go out for dinner and unexpectedly witness a marriage proposal at the restaurant. However, the woman turns down the proposal, creating an awkward atmosphere. Just then, Su Li spots something on the floor and bends down to pick it up. Suddenly, Zhang Shu Heng surprises her by celebrating their three-year anniversary and puts a ring on her finger.
Caught up in the moment, they embrace, and the surrounding diners applaud, creating a joyful atmosphere.
When they return home, Zhang Shu Heng seriously tells Su Li that the ring is quite valuable and advises her to keep it safe. Naturally, Su Li follows his advice and carefully places the ring in the safe. Meanwhile, Zhang Shu Heng watches intently as she inputs the code.
On the other side, I wait for my husband outside the office after work, only to find out from a colleague that he left much earlier. I end up saying I must have misremembered. Later, I overhear colleagues discussing an incident where Shen Ge slapped Wang Gang Gang, which caused quite a stir.
Speaking of Wang Gang Gang, she tells me that Su Li's issues are mostly resolved and that her assets have been transferred. She then asks about Su Li's plans moving forward. Su Li remains silent, feeling conflicted. Wang Gang Gang jokingly suggests that Su Li may have softened toward Zhang Shu Heng after he got hurt saving her. Su Li admits that Zhang Shu Heng has changed for the better since recovering, treating her well and cutting ties with Chen Ying Ying. However, she feels quite confused inside.
One day, I struggle to carry a heavy box home when my neighbor, Zhao Ge, sees me and immediately offers to help me upstairs. Gratefully, I pour him a glass of water, only for this act to be witnessed by Wang Gang Gang's husband. He sternly asks Wang Gang Gang about the water, emphasizing that she is married and should keep her distance from other men. He then hands her a bag, which she initially thinks is a gift, but when she opens it, she finds a pile of hand-wash clothes that she needs to clean.
Another time, my husband calls Wang Gang Gang late at night, asking her to deliver some documents urgently. When she arrives, she realizes that he and his colleagues are just hanging out, and they tease her for being so obedient, ready to come on a whim. Frustrated, Wang Gang Gang leaves, but her husband chases after her to explain that it was a request from a business partner and he had no choice. Though she feels uneasy, she doesn’t say much.
The biggest surprise comes when Zhang Shu Heng takes Su Li's jewelry for appraisal while she’s away, only to discover that it's all fake. Su Li had suspected Zhang Shu Heng was up to no good, deliberately showing off the jewelry in public to claim it as his own. But Su Li was smarter—she had already swapped the real pieces for fakes.
When Su Li returns home, Zhang Shu Heng is waiting for her, looking puzzled. She calmly tells him that she has known about his infidelity all along and has even reported it to the police, with evidence and receipts in hand. In the end, she demands that Zhang Shu Heng return her belongings, marking a significant turning point in their relationship.
