Ode to Joy Season 5 episode 28 recap

Episode 28 recap: Yu Chu Hui doesn't feel secure in relationships.

While Zhu Zhe was on a business trip, he heard about an incident at the hotel and called his subordinates only to discover that it was related to Director Wang. He decided to retaliate and instructed them to hide the evidence securely, warning them not to alert the enemy and to wait for her return to handle it. On the other hand, Qi Mu repeatedly contacted He Min Hong to arrange a meeting, and eventually, He Min Hong gathered the courage to meet him.

Qi Mu expressed that He Min Hong is a very rare and good girl, kind and gentle, and especially good to her mother, which is why he trusts her completely and has no intention of hiding anything. He Min Hong didn't want to hear him say so much; she just wanted to know the reason for his divorce and even believed that she was seen as a tool to assume family responsibilities in Qi Mu's eyes.

A client sent a box of eggs to Yu Chu Hui, and Yu Chu Hui borrowed a flower to present to Liu Su, which made Liu Su very happy. He brought it home and praised it in front of his parents. Liu's mother thought her son was too infatuated, seeing only the good qualities in Yu Chu Hui, and she worried deeply for her son. Seeing this, Liu's father diverted her attention by examining the eggs in the box.

Liu Su couldn't wait to share with Yu Chu Hui that he had bought an incubator and invited her to come to his balcony to enjoy the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers when the birds hatched. Later, Liu Su called his parents again and told them that Yu Chu Hui knew they were interested in bird eggs and had specially prepared a professional hatching manual.

Sure enough, when Liu's mother heard that Yu Chu Hui had put so much effort into it, she had a much better impression of her. After hanging up the phone, Yu Chu Hui happily browsed He Min Hong's public account and saw several articles she had recently published. She quickly reposted them in the group and mentioned her sisters to take a look at the once infatuated He Min Hong, who had now become an independent and self-reliant female warrior. The content of the articles was also thought-provoking.

Knowing that his mother had called his eldest sister, Zhu Minjie called Zhu Zhe to explain. Zhu Zhe accused him of complaining without taking any action, regretting it too late when he woke up, and only being skilled at playing mind games when he had no other abilities. Fortunately, Zhu Minjie didn't throw a tantrum like before and apologized to Zhu Zhe, earnestly asking her not to hold a grudge against him. He found this job that she arranged for him not only not tiring but also profitable, and he hoped she wouldn't cancel it.

Lei Zong, who used to work with Fang Zhi Heng at Hongtai, had a great appreciation for Fang Zhi Heng. After she led her team to switch to the powerful company Tongbao, she wanted to persuade Fang Zhi Heng to switch with her. In fact, Fang Zhi Heng liked Ping Pin very much and built a deep friendship while working with his colleagues to develop Ping Pin, so he had strong feelings for her.

On the other hand, Liu Su told his parents that he wouldn't be coming home for dinner, clearly because he had a date with Yu Chu Hui. Liu's parents were not satisfied with just seeing Yu Chu Hui's back and decided to sneak a look at Yu Chu Hui's company. In a twist of fate, just as Yu Chu Hui happily walked downstairs to meet Liu Su, she encountered Liu's father and mother, who looked out of place in the office building.

Yu Chu Hui recognized them and quickly hid when she flipped through some photos, confirming that they were Liu's family. She was frightened and overheard the conversation between the older couple.

Although Liu's father and mother deeply love Liu Su and are willing to let him go, they have strict requirements when it comes to his social circle. Yu Chu Hui recalled what Director Jin had said about Liu's family having even better conditions than the Ma family, so they would surely have extra strict demands for their daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Liu Su arrived at the company holding pastries and didn't notice his parents not far away. Yu Chu Hui was well aware of her own disadvantaged background and was too afraid to come out and meet Liu Su because of his parents downstairs. She had no choice but to send him a message, falsely claiming that she had work to do and had to cancel their date.

Upon learning that Ye Zhen Zhen's experiment had been destroyed, Dai Wei came to her home to console her personally. After seeing off Dai Wei, Ye Zhen Zhen coincidentally ran into Yu Chu Hui on her way back, who was sharing her relationship troubles. Yu Chu Hui didn't want Liu Su to have strained relations with his parents because of her, knowing that Liu's father and mother were good people. Similarly, Ye Zhen Zhen was also troubled by her own emotions, so instead of encouraging Yu Chu Hui to be brave, it was more like encouraging herself to be brave.

On the other hand, Fang Zhi Heng was somewhat moved by Lei Zong's words. After all, Tongbao had a promising future and would offer great opportunities for advancement. Just as Fang Zhi Heng was wavering, Yu Chu Hui gave her some advice that made her realize she had no other choice. The income she currently earned at Ping Pin was insufficient to withstand the risks, especially when it came to raising her child.

So, after careful consideration, Fang Zhi Heng decided to painfully switch jobs with Lei Zong. With a surge in hotel guests, the front desk and housekeeping departments were extremely busy. Director Wang took this opportunity to lose her temper and scolded the staff after checking the shift schedule. The employees speculated privately that Director Wang was trying to sabotage Zhu Zhe by intentionally creating a situation where there were no guests at the front desk, planning to gather evidence before reporting it to Zhu Zhe.

Zhu Zhe was on a business trip and was overseeing the work of two departments in a newly opened hotel for the first time, earning the appreciation of the hotel manager. The employees called Zhu Zhe and informed her about Director Wang's secret actions. Zhu Zhe instructed them to securely hide the evidence for now, not to alert the enemy, and to wait for her return to handle the situation.

He Min Hong's articles were becoming increasingly popular, much to the satisfaction of her boss, Qian Ke Duo. Qi Mu frequently contacted He Min Hong, and eventually, He Min Hong mustered up the courage to meet him. Qi Mu expressed that He Min Hong was a very rare and good girl, kind and gentle, and especially good to her mother, which was why he trusted her completely and had no intention of hiding anything.

He Min Hong didn't want to hear him say so much; she just wanted to know the reason for his divorce and even believed that she was seen as a tool to assume family responsibilities in Qi Mu's eyes. With He Min Hong's mind becoming clear, Qi Mu's plans fell through, and he became angry and verbally abused her.
