Episode 20 recap: Jiang and Feng Clash Over the New House Again
In Episode 20, Tang Yang has been busy reviewing a company’s loan situation. She personally visited the regulatory department to investigate the company’s background for any negative records, knowing that a bad history could complicate loan repayment. Her efforts paid off, as Tang Yang discovered some irregularities that raised concerns about the loan approval process.
When Jiang Shi Yan picked Tang Yang up, he listened to her complain about the poor bathing facilities at the hotel during her business trip, which had left her feeling unwell. Immediately, Jiang Shi Yan brought her some mugwort from home, suggesting she take a bath with it to soothe her discomfort. Tang Yang felt warm inside seeing his thoughtful gesture; he seemed like an attentive little sidekick, gentle as a lamb. However, the outside world held Jiang Shi Yan in high regard, especially for his successful company, Yixiu, which garnered a lot of envy.
Once, Tang Yang was even recognized by fans who, upon learning that she knew Jiang Shi Yan, asked her for an autograph. She couldn't help but smile, recalling how just the night before they had shared skewers together, with her picking up the tab.
To welcome Tang Yang back, Jiang Shi Yan prepared a hot pot at her place. They enjoyed the meal and chatted, creating a warm atmosphere reminiscent of a family gathering. Jiang Shi Yan even planned for their next dinner together, but unfortunately, Tang Yang's busy work schedule meant that the carefully prepared dinner would have to be postponed. While she felt a bit disappointed, the pressing business issues left by Gan Yi Ming demanded her full attention.
Meanwhile, Feng Wei Ran returned home to find that the door lock code had been changed. When his son opened the door, he immediately asked for an Ultraman toy, but after receiving the gift, he refused to let Feng Wei Ran in. It turned out that Jiang Ya Nan had warned their son that if he let his dad inside, they would have to move back to their old house. Feeling helpless, Feng Wei Ran ended up sleeping at the office for several days without returning home. Unable to bear this situation any longer, he sought Tang Yang’s help to find a solution.
Tang Yang was also investigating an educational institution called "Qinglai." The enrollment staff there were incredibly enthusiastic, pushing annual and quarterly memberships with great flair. However, after observing the situation, Tang Yang felt that their enrollment numbers were not promising.
Just then, she witnessed a parent in the classroom yelling and hitting her son, complaining that he was ungrateful and wasting her tuition fees. The child was crying inconsolably, and unable to watch any longer, Tang Yang stepped in to advise the mother to be mindful of her behavior in public and not to leave her child with lasting trauma. To her surprise, the mother not only dismissed her concerns but also scolded Tang Yang for meddling.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi Yan approached to reason with the parent, but he too was unable to persuade her. Thankfully, a teacher from the training institution intervened just in time to defuse the situation.
Afterward, in the car, Tang Yang reminded Jiang Shi Yan that they were there undercover as a couple, and with so many people around, it would be bad for Jiang Shi Yan's company's reputation if someone recorded the incident and posted it online.
Watching Tang Yang's anxious demeanor warmed Jiang Shi Yan's heart. He realized that she still cared about him deeply and had a strong sense of justice, just like back in high school when she was always the first to stand up against unfairness.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ya Nan was out for a walk with her child in the neighborhood when she ran into an old classmate who now worked as a real estate agent. The classmate urged her to sell their current house quickly, or it would affect the online signing for their new home.
It was then that Jiang Ya Nan discovered that her husband had secretly paid the deposit on the new house, leading to another argument between them. Just at that moment, Jiang Shi Yan's appendicitis flared up, prompting Tang Yang to quickly contact Feng Wei Ran. Upon receiving the call, Jiang Ya Nan and her husband temporarily put their argument aside to worry about Jiang Shi Yan's condition together.
