Episode 23 recap: Fang Zhi Heng is in formal negotiations with his father.
After a brief period of calm, Dai's mother started causing trouble again. She first made a series of threatening calls to Dai Wei, and then began feigning illness, claiming her cervical spine was not well and urging Dai Wei to quickly contact Ye's father to arrange for hospitalization and surgery. Not only that, Dai's mother demanded that Dai Wei must send money and accompany her at the hospital. In short, she was doing everything possible to torment her son.
When Ye Zhen Zhen heard this news, her expression became particularly serious. After Dai Wei found out, he secretly took a photo of her to ease the tension. According to Dai Wei's current statement, he had become a betrayer in his mother's eyes. Ye Zhen Zhen hugged Dai Wei and advised him to stay calm, not to argue with his mother, as it would bring no benefits.
When Dai's mother saw Ye Zhen Zhen's call, she was confident that she had come to make peace. However, she didn't expect that Ye Zhen Zhen would guess that Dai's mother was with Da Niu and that their relationship was extraordinary. Ye Zhen Zhen intentionally revealed to Da Niu that Dai's mother currently had negative assets and wouldn't gain any benefits by sticking with her.
Upon hearing this, Da Niu's face darkened. He realized that Ye Zhen Zhen's words were right, and Dai's mother was treating him like a free babysitter. With these thoughts in mind, Da Niu argued with Dai's mother, angrily took money from her, and left immediately, leaving Dai's mother with nowhere to vent her anger.
Early in the morning, Dai Wei brought takeout to find Ye Zhen Zhen and learned that she had been harassed by her mother again, causing her to be emotionally agitated. At this time, Yu Chu Hui came over to gossip with Ye Zhen Zhen about Liu Su and expressed her concern about her troublesome family leaving a bad impression on Liu Su's parents. Because of Yu Chu Hui's words, Dai Wei deeply realized that Dai's mother was more difficult than Yu's father, and he was mainly grateful to Ye's father and mother for sparing him.
While many people disliked Yu Chu Hui because of her father, Ye Zhen Zhen stood by Dai Wei and had no demands. Dai Wei felt complicated about this. Liu Su and Yu Chu Hui hadn't seen each other for several days, so Liu Su thought of coming early in the morning to pick her up for work, increasing their time together.
Yu Chu Hui told Liu Su that she would be on a business trip tonight because the subsidiary of Mr. Jin's company needed someone who understood technology to present the product's superiority to clients and answer questions. She occasionally had to travel for this part-time job, but the trips were short and she would be back in less than a day.
Liu Su curiously asked if the colleague accompanying Yu Chu Hui was a man or a woman, showing a hint of jealousy, which pleased Yu Chu Hui.
Due to the significant distance between their living and working places, they both need to wake up early and leave in order to avoid traffic and the long commute. Liu Su also realized that she was causing trouble despite her good intentions. Even though Yu Chu Hui could reach the company within an hour, Liu Su was delaying her and Yu Chu Hui felt it wasn't worth it. So they decided to compromise and agreed that Liu Su would only provide transportation when the weather was bad.
Fang Zhi Heng met with his father and went through great efforts to pressure him into mortgaging the house. He ended up surrendering nearly two million in assets, leaving it for Fang Zhi Heng and his younger sister, Mian Mian.
On the other hand, Ye Zhen Zhen tried her best to exclude herself from the emotional disturbances caused by Dai's mother and focused on her scientific exploration. In the eyes of others, Ye Zhen Zhen came from a wealthy background and didn't need to be entangled in mundane matters. However, life is never free from disturbances, and everyone has their own difficulties. Even just funding was enough to make Ye Zhen Zhen worry.
Dai's mother made an impromptu inspection and found that none of the employees were in the company. Since Dai's mother had not approved the employees' resignation requests or paid their overdue salaries, they collectively went to the labor inspection brigade to file a complaint. Dai's mother didn't take it seriously at all and berated her assistant, claiming she wasn't afraid and that she would stay here and play power games. At that moment, Dai's mother received a message from one of the employees, informing her that the workers from the factory were coming to hold her accountable. This scared her, and she started packing up the contents of the safe, intending to flee, unaware that it was all a prank.
The employees orchestrated the situation to distract Dai's mother while they looted the company. But the more Dai's mother thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She turned back and saw them moving things and immediately recorded it on her phone, then called the police. The police arrived at the company quickly, and Dai's mother eagerly filed a complaint in front of them. Third Brother (San Ge), who was hiding nearby, secretly observed the entire process and immediately reported the situation to the Ye family. It seemed that Dai's mother was caught up in trouble and couldn't find time to harass Ye Zhen Zhen.
However, the employees complained to the police about Dai's mother's unpaid wages and provided account information, demanding a thorough investigation. Some even suggested that she be detained directly, fearing that she might flee at any moment. When Qi Mu was checking in at the hotel, he saw Zhu Zhe in the lobby. Seeing that she hadn't changed her clothes and was interning in a different department, it was clearly a sign of a promotion and pay raise.
Qi Mu introduced Zhu Zhe to the clients and spoke highly of her, while Zhu Zhe responded gracefully. Huang Yu Xuan immediately noticed that Qi Mu was the one who had complained about Zhu Zhe in the past.
