Ode to Joy Season 5 episode 20 recap

Episode 20 recap: Yu Chu Hui and Liu Su established a romantic relationship.

After one night, Dai Mu's condition improved significantly, but she never gave up on allowing her son to get close to the Ye family. She used her definition of filial piety to force Dai Wei to repay the years of upbringing. However, Dai Wei insisted on his own concept of filial piety and principles, never harming others' interests. As husband and wife, neither Dai Mu nor Dai Fu could share assets. How could Dai Wei ask the Ye family to get involved in their family wealth? Moreover, he believed that Dai Fu's affair was mainly caused by suspicion and torment from Dai Mu. Rather than being a one-sided mistake, it was a problem on both sides, and Dai Mu's problem was even bigger.

Dai Wei hoped that Dai Mu would reflect on herself, but instead, she warned him that if he truly wanted to be filial, he should focus on preserving his own career that he had worked hard for half of his life, rather than seeking mere food and clothing. Early in the morning, while everyone was waiting for the elevator, Fang Zhi Heng told Ye Zhen Zhen and others about his father's intention to remarry.

It was apparent that Fang's father was likely having an extramarital affair shortly after his wife's death. Fang Zhi Heng was thrown into confusion, but the residents on the 22nd floor could see the situation clearly. They advised Fang Zhi Heng not to argue with his father but to find a way to secure Mian Mian's future instead.

Because of this, Fang Zhi Heng collected and studied legal documents and consulted his lawyer friend to fight for Mian Mian's share of the property. Guo Sheng Yang, as usual, waited downstairs for Fang Zhi Heng. When he heard the content of Fang Zhi Heng's conversation with the lawyer friend, he voluntarily offered some advice. However, Fang Zhi Heng didn't appreciate it at all and even ridiculed him for not accusing him of being unfilial this time. That was because he had learned from past experiences and understood the importance of understanding the whole situation before making judgments.

Even though Guo Sheng Yang understood this principle, it was too late. Fang Zhi Heng hoped that they would not bother each other. Dai Mu locked Dai Wei out of the house, didn't leave him the key, and changed the locks. After returning to the company, Dai Mu immediately contacted Ye's mother and revealed that she had kicked him out of the house for the sake of her son. From now on, Dai Wei would belong to the Ye family.

It was obvious that Dai Mu wanted to gain sympathy from the Ye family through this method, and Mr. and Mrs. Ye couldn't bear to see Dai Wei suffer. However, Ye Zhen Zhen, who seemed innocent, was extremely rational and prevented the family from succumbing to Dai Mu's conspiracy. Ye Zhen Zhen then called Dai Wei and analyzed Dai Mu's actions, but Dai Wei was still thinking about how to influence his mother.

While having a meal in the cafeteria, Yu Chu Hui asked his colleagues about some things on behalf of Fang Zhi Heng and was jokingly teased by a male colleague for dating a divorced man.

As a result, the two sides had an argument, and Zhong Penghao stepped forward to protect Yu Chu Hui. At this time, Liu Su took the initiative to go to Yu Chu Hui's company, which caused Zhong Penghao's dissatisfaction. Especially when Zhong Penghao saw Yu Chu Hui happily going to meet Liu Su, he felt even more uncomfortable. Chen Chaosheng advised him that it was time to let go.

Liu Su didn't care about Yu Chu Hui's family background. Instead, she took the initiative once again and personally selected a beautiful gift to give to her. Yu Chu Hui, who was already lacking in confidence, felt relieved when she saw Liu Su's hidden unease beneath her good temperament. There was also a hint of joy within her.

Although it was just a lunch break meeting, it made both of them feel a connection. Chairman Jin caught sight of Yu Chu Hui and Liu Su together and kindly reminded Yu Chu Hui to give up her illusions. He mentioned that Liu Su's family background was even better than Ma Xiangdong's, and he used to be someone Ma Xiangdong couldn't reach. Therefore, the Liu family had stricter standards when selecting a daughter-in-law.

Due to Chairman Jin's words, Yu Chu Hui's joyful emotions were once again dashed. Coincidentally, Liu Su called and asked her for Chairman Jin's number, wanting to remind him not to tell his parents about what he saw today. Liu Su intended to confess this relationship to his parents personally. Upon hearing Liu Su's words, Yu Chu Hui was overjoyed, confirming Liu Su's intentions and his value to her.

Before the end of the workday, Yu Chu Hui couldn't wait to meet with Ye Zhen Zhen and share her good news. She believed that Liu Su was a responsible man and had already imagined their future together. On the other hand, Dai Mu completed the discharge procedures and returned home, only to see Dai Wei waiting at the doorstep.

Dai Wei bought some things for his mother and kindly reminded her, but Dai Mu completely disregarded it. She mocked him for choosing to turn a blind eye to helping her and instead doing such trivial things to deceive her. She could only say that in critical moments, one's true character is revealed, and this is what she called a good son. So, Dai Mu didn't understand why she spent money to send her son abroad for studying, what he had learned overseas, and how he couldn't offer any help in the face of life and death matters for his mother. She was curious whether Dai Wei was unwilling or incapable.

Dai Wei directly expressed his own worthlessness. He watched as his father transferred assets and felt helpless. After coming out, he couldn't provide any useful solutions.
