Ode to Joy Season 5 episode 27 recap

Episode 27 recap: Li Xun's wife approached Fang Zhi Heng for reconciliation.

Li Xun's wife came with her son to meet Fang Zhi Heng without directly stating the purpose of the meeting. Instead, she narrated the power struggles that she and her husband had been engaged in over the years. In the past, Li Xun urgently needed funds to pay for his illegal gains, so he had no choice but to open up his tightly held assets to his wife. As a result, Li Xun's wife gained control over all of his properties.

However, it didn't take long for Li Xun to realize that he had nothing left, and yet the marriage continued to exist only in formality. He was determined to find a way to regain the assets that his wife had taken. Fang Zhi Heng understood Li Xun's wife's intentions. She wanted to adjust her relationship with Li Qi Xing, hoping to become his protector.

However, Fang Zhi Heng did not grant Li Xun's wife's wish. Although she did feel a slight sense of guilt towards Li Qi Xing, it was not enough to allow moral manipulation. Liu Su arrived at the company to pick up Yu Chu Hui after work, and Yu Chu Hui brought him a gift from her business trip. The two of them happily walked back together but encountered Fang Zhi Heng and Ye Zhen Zhen downstairs.

It turned out that Fang Zhi Heng received a call from Li Qi Xing, informing her of Li Xun's wife's request to meet. Out of politeness, she reluctantly agreed to the appointment. Yu Chu Hui instantly became interested and quickly went downstairs after putting away their belongings. She pulled Liu Su along, intending to be Fang Zhi Heng's support team. The four of them went to the restaurant in a grand manner.

Li Xun's wife wanted to have a private conversation with Fang Zhi Heng, so she asked her son Li Qi Xing to go somewhere else. Li Qi Xing had no choice but to sit at the table with Ye Zhen Zhen and occasionally glanced over. Li Xun's wife gave Fang Zhi Heng a gift, but Fang Zhi Heng believed that she didn't deserve any rewards. Even if Li Xun ended up in jail, it was his own fault. Fang Zhi Heng was merely seeking justice, and whether she could obtain freedom depended entirely on her own efforts.

Ye Zhen Zhen saw that the conversation between the two seemed somewhat amicable, so she felt slightly relieved and left ahead to go to the research institute. In the past, Li Xun's wife had maliciously slandered Fang Zhi Heng, causing her great impact and distress. As for this matter, Li Xun's wife took the initiative to apologize to Fang Zhi Heng and revealed that she had long despised Li Xun. Initially, she had concealed her true feelings out of consideration for her wife, but later she couldn't help but become reckless. The thought of spending her life with such scum made her feel on the verge of collapse.

However, Li Xun's wife had been a housewife for thirty years and had no financial power at home. She could only endure silently. If she dared to ask for a divorce, she would undoubtedly be left with nothing by her husband. It was thanks to Fang Zhi Heng stepping up and reporting Li Xun that she was able to play the role of a virtuous wife standing in opposition to her husband, successfully gaining the trust of the imprisoned Li Xun.

In the past, Li Xun urgently needed funds to pay for his illegal gains, so he had no choice but to open up his tightly held assets to his wife, even teaching her how to manage them. As a result, Li Xun's wife gained control over all of the assets. However, it wouldn't take long for Li Xun to realize that he had nothing left, and yet the marriage continued to exist only in formality. He was determined to find a way to regain the assets that his wife had taken.

Now, Li Xun's wife has awakened from the imbalanced marriage and decided to leave the country. However, Li Qi Xing refuses to leave, and Li Xun's wife can tell that Li Qi Xing still has lingering feelings for Fang Zhi Heng. Therefore, disregarding her own pride, she hopes to reach a reconciliation with Fang Zhi Heng.

Fang Zhi Heng understood Li Xun's wife's intentions. She wanted to adjust her relationship with Li Qi Xing, hoping to become his protector. However, Fang Zhi Heng did not grant Li Xun's wife's wish. Although she did feel a slight sense of guilt towards Li Qi Xing, it was not enough to allow moral manipulation.

Although Fang Zhi Heng did not agree to Li Xun's wife's request and did not accept her gift, she later took the initiative to meet with Li Qi Xing and explained in detail the hardships of Li Xun's wife, inspiring Li Qi Xing to reflect on the situation. The resentment between them dissipated, and Li Qi Xing understood that there was no future between him and Fang Zhi Heng. However, he was happy that they were no longer at odds and could face each other calmly. They finally reconciled.

Meanwhile, the samples accumulated by Ye Zhen Zhen's team were maliciously destroyed, and everyone suspected that the culprit was someone familiar with their research institute. Now Ye Zhen Zhen's experiment cannot continue, and it will take time to produce new samples. Professor Tao inspected the laboratory and promised to investigate personally.

Early in the morning, Zhu Zhe received a phone call from her mother, who criticized her for not taking good care of her younger brother. Her mother was upset that she let him work two jobs and suffer in Shanghai, knowing that he was the only child. Zhu Zhe explained to her mother the benefits of her brother enduring hardships. If she wanted her son to have a happy marriage and have grandchildren, she should let him learn to be self-reliant. Only by gaining skills can he earn money to support the family.

Zhu Zhe's mother couldn't find a reason to refute her daughter's words. CEO Ji attached great importance to the upcoming meeting and instructed Fang Zhi Heng to prepare the proposal. At this time, Aunt Yang kept calling, urging Fang Zhi Heng to take Mian Mian to the hospital quickly. After all, she was not the child's legal guardian and couldn't sign the necessary documents. With no other choice, Fang Zhi Heng temporarily requested leave from CEO Ji and rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, Mian Mian was fine, and it was just a false alarm.

Fang Zhi Heng messaged CEO Ji to inquire about the meeting and mentioned that she would return to the company after sending her sister home. CEO Ji didn't reply for a long time, so when Fang Zhi Heng finished settling her sister and Aunt Yang and was about to send another message to CEO Ji, she received a reply saying that the meeting had already ended, and the tone was indifferent. This made Fang Zhi Heng feel guilty, so she took the initiative to apologize.

Ye Zhen Zhen had long suspected Sun Qin, but she didn't have enough evidence. Professor Tao found that the incident was mostly related to Sun Qin but didn't want to escalate the situation. He had a conversation with Ye Zhen Zhen, stating that they wouldn't renew Sun Qin's contract when it expired. The members of the research team were angry, and Ye Zhen Zhen wouldn't let it go. They could only wait and see how Professor Tao would handle the situation.
