Episode 17 recap: Dai Wei was disappointed by his mother's lies.

Dai's mother claimed to be downstairs and even sent pictures of the original neighborhood. However, Dai Wei reiterated that he had already moved out of the original neighborhood and was disappointed by his mother's lack of trust. Dai's mother angrily claimed that creditors were coming to her door demanding payment, and she was on the verge of losing everything, with her only hope resting on this house.

Currently, there is no way to prove the truthfulness of Dai's mother's words. Ye Zhen Zhen took the initiative to call her mother to inquire about the situation. Ye's mother said that news about the Dai family spread quickly, and it seemed that someone was deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes, resulting in creditors and suppliers coming to hold Dai's mother accountable for the contracts. As for the so-called siege and imminent bankruptcy, it was solely Dai's mother's account of the events. According to the information Ye's mother received, on that day, at most, creditors were registering their claims and planning to discuss how to proceed at a later time. The overall atmosphere was still relatively peaceful.

As a result, Dai's mother once again lied and deceived, causing her to lose credibility in Dai Wei's eyes. Regardless of what calculations follow, Dai Wei refuses to disclose his new address and workplace. Since Dai's father had previously uncovered the persecution Dai's mother had inflicted on the Ye family before his departure, the Ye family was skeptical and Ye Zhen Zhen had revealed some of it. She became very wary of Dai's mother.

That evening, Dai's mother wanted to find Ye Zhen Zhen to force Dai Wei out, but she ended up getting into a fender bender outside the neighborhood. It turned out that Ye's mother had already anticipated that Dai's mother wouldn't stay quiet, so she hired security guard San Ge to ensure her daughter's safety. San Ge used this opportunity to detain Dai's mother, preventing her from finding Ye Zhen Zhen.

On the other hand, when Dai Wei received a call from his mother, he thought it was another attempt to deceive him, so he angrily hung up and ignored it. The police arrived at the scene and determined that Dai's mother was at fault. In a hurry to absolve herself, Dai's mother quickly signed the necessary documents, but San Ge detained her, claiming they needed to go to the damage assessment center the next morning. As a result, Dai's mother and San Ge spent the night dealing with each other in San Ge's car.

The next morning, Dai's mother woke up with a sore back from sleeping in San Ge's broken-down car. She was frustrated and had no outlet for her anger. San Ge, taking advantage of Dai's mother's distraction, personally called Ye's father to report the situation. He believed that although Dai's mother couldn't be considered mentally ill, she had definitely been through some trauma and was highly prone to emotional outbursts. He advised being cautious around her.

Li Qi Xing considered it carefully and decided to take the initiative to find Fang Zhi Heng to discuss the matter of the two packages. Yu Chu Hui hadn't gone out for breakfast in a long time and couldn't bear it, so she asked Ye Zhen Zhen to bring her some breakfast. Fang Zhi Heng asked Ye Zhen Zhen to help him pick up the packages but ran into Guo Sheng Yang outside the neighborhood.

Fang Zhi Heng ignored Guo Sheng Yang completely, and Li Qi Xing understood the situation. He asked Fang Zhi Heng to leave with him in the same car. During the ride, Li Qi Xing wanted to know if Fang Zhi Heng felt any guilt for the innocent victims. Without hesitation, Fang Zhi Heng directly answered no because at that time, he was just Li Xun's son, a mere symbol.

Li Qi Xing pretended not to care on the surface but pondered Fang Zhi Heng's words over and over again, feeling deeply disappointed. Although Dai Wei wanted to isolate Ye Zhen Zhen from the mess in his family, Dai's mother was relentless in her tactics. Ye Zhen Zhen couldn't help but feel annoyed and went to talk to Yu Chu Hui and Zhu Zhe.

Yu Chu Hui mentioned that the company highly valued the research and development achievements of the three of them. They not only organized promotional activities with major clients but also increased research and development funding for them, as well as promotions and rewards. So while Yu Chu Hui was happy about the money, he also worried that after reaching a high position, he might feel lonely, especially considering his weak foundation and restless nature.

Now they could only work harder on their new research and development projects, not wanting to disappoint the leaders who had their eyes on them. During work, Chen Chao Sheng received news that they would be attending a meeting with the leaders, which made him feel anxious and uneasy. Zhu Zhe broke free from the obsession with academic qualifications due to Director Wang's abnormal behavior and gained a clearer understanding of his own abilities, strengthening his determination to move forward.

In the following days, Zhu Zhe compressed his rest and mealtime, diligently studying at the front desk, and selflessly sharing his experiences with the front desk staff, embodying the responsibility of bridging communication and understanding between the two departments.
