A Better Life Episode 12 Recap
> A Better Life Recap
Riding the wave of alcohol, Ma Xiaowei bragged to his friends that Ai Zhonghua was going to give him three million yuan. His friends encouraged him to split the family property with Ai Linjiang, and Ma Xiaowei was immediately tempted. Ai Zhonghua's wife was hospitalized three months ago. When Ai Linjiang went to visit his mother, he fell in love with Wu Ya at first sight.
He not only bought humidifiers for Wu Ya's department but also sent her flowers every day. Wu Ya applied for a single dormitory with her department, lying to Xue Xiaozhou that it was for work needs. Xue Xiaozhou felt abandoned by Wu Ya but found it inconvenient to make her stay. Ma Xiaowei brought his friends to wait downstairs at the company building.
When Ai Linjiang came to report to Ai Zhonghua, Ma Xiaowei and his friends barged into Ai Zhonghua's office, demanding to split the family property with Ai Linjiang. Ai Zhonghua told Ai Linjiang to leave first, but Ma Xiaowei wouldn't relent, repeatedly claiming his mother was Ai Zhonghua's first love. Ai Linjiang immediately became furious with embarrassment and shouted at Ai Zhonghua.
Ai Zhonghua tried desperately to explain, but he didn't listen at all, slamming the door and leaving in a huff. Ai Zhonghua fainted on the ground due to a surge of anger. Ma Xiaowei took the opportunity to inquire how much of the family property he could get. If Ai Zhonghua hadn't made a will, he could legitimately take half of the family property. It started pouring rain. Xue Xiaozhou was holding his cat, lost in thought.
Hu Manli suddenly sent him a message telling him that Ai Zhonghua had been hospitalized from anger. Xue Xiaozhou felt very guilty. He rushed to the hospital through the heavy rain, and Hu Manli also arrived at the same time. Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou arrived at the hospital and learned that Ai Zhonghua was in the intensive care unit and was not yet out of danger.
Ma Xiaowei and his friends were guarding the door of the ICU, refusing to let anyone see Ai Zhonghua. Ai Zhonghua's secretary called the police, but the police couldn't do anything about Ma Xiaowei and his group. Hu Manli asked the secretary to tell her the places Ai Linjiang often visited. Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou split up to look for Ai Linjiang. Xue Xiaozhou felt sympathetic towards Ai Linjiang's situation, believing Ai Linjiang wouldn't come to the hospital.
He also revealed that the day they signed the contract with Ma Xiaowei was the anniversary of his father's death. Hu Manli apologized to Xue Xiaozhou. Xue Xiaozhou clearly remembered that three years ago, it was also a heavy rain night. His father, on his deathbed after a car accident, wanted to see Xue Xiaozhou and apologize to him in person. Xue Xiaozhou refused to forgive his father and firmly refused to go.
His mother's earnest pleas were useless, and in a fit of anger, she slapped Xue Xiaozhou. As a result, his father died that day. Hu Manli saw that Xue Xiaozhou couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, regretting that he would never hear his father's explanation. Standing in the heavy rain, Xue Xiaozhou reflected with deep pain and vowed to bear the consequences of the trouble he caused. After much effort, Xue Xiaozhou finally found Ai Linjiang.
Ai Linjiang was drowning his sorrows in alcohol and was completely drunk. Xue Xiaozhou wanted to take Ai Linjiang to see Ai Zhonghua, hoping Ai Linjiang wouldn't regret it like he did, but Ai Linjiang simply couldn't let go. Xue Xiaozhou had no choice but to call Hu Manli. He continued to persuade Ai Linjiang to go to the hospital, letting Ai Zhonghua explain to him personally, or he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Ai Zhonghua's condition was critical. The doctor issued a critical illness notice as per routine. A friend reminded Ma Xiaowei not to sign it, as he might not get a penny if Ai Zhonghua woke up. Ma Xiaowei firmly refused to sign and even wanted to take Ai Zhonghua home. Hu Manli couldn't persuade Ma Xiaowei and told the doctor to wait until Ai Linjiang arrived. Xue Xiaozhou and Ai Linjiang arrived in time.
Ai Linjiang was going to sign the notice, but Ma Xiaowei firmly disagreed and wanted to drive Ai Linjiang away. Xue Xiaozhou exposed Ma Xiaowei's concealment right in front of him, stating that he was hoping Ai Zhonghua would never wake up so he could get half of the family property. If Ai Zhonghua died despite rescue efforts, Ma Xiaowei would have to get Ai Linjiang's consent to do a paternity test, otherwise, he wouldn't get a single penny.
Ma Xiaowei had better pray that Ai Zhonghua wakes up soon; he might give him a portion of the money for his mother's sake. Ma Xiaowei had no choice but to leave sullenly with his friends. Xue Xiaozhou and Hu Manli didn't leave the hospital until dawn. When Xue Xiaozhou got home, he rummaged through the gifts his father had given him, filled with mixed emotions.
Wu Ya came home from her night shift and saw this scene, so she took out her game console and played with Xue Xiaozhou. Xue Xiaozhou was surprised to find that his father would turn on the game console every year on his birthday. Xue Xiaozhou voluntarily gave up the house his father left behind. He handed the agreement to Qiu Lisu, who was overjoyed and promised to sell the house and give him 500,000 yuan.
Qiu Lisu was worried Xue Xiaozhou would change his mind, so she immediately sent her secretary to sell the house. Then, she arranged for Ding Zhiyuan and Li Fendou to meet again. The secretary was concerned Ding Zhiyuan wouldn't cooperate, but Qiu Lisu was confident that as long as Ding Zhiyuan was given enough respect, he would cooperate obediently. Today was Ding Zhiyuan's forty-second birthday. Qiu Lisu specifically took him to Li Fendou's club to celebrate.
Li Fendou arranged a grand birthday banquet. Qiu Lisu added fuel to the fire from the side, and Ding Zhiyuan had no choice but to make concessions.
