A Better Life Episode 13 Recap
> A Better Life Recap
Qiu Lisu rented Li Fendou's house to start a book club. Li Fendou wrote an autobiography and wanted Ding Zhiyuan to write a preface. Ding Zhiyuan had read his autobiography and found it not only low in style but also full of ridiculous claims. Li Fendou was unwilling to give up and found someone else to write the preface; he just wanted Ding Zhiyuan to sign it afterwards.
Li Fendou asked Qiu Lisu to invite Ding Zhiyuan to his club for his birthday. Li Fendou and Qiu Lisu worked together, continuously pouring drinks for Ding Zhiyuan. Ding Zhiyuan couldn't handle the alcohol and quickly became dead drunk. Li Fendou seized the opportunity to take out the preface written by someone else and asked Ding Zhiyuan to sign it. Ding Zhiyuan firmly refused, but couldn't resist Qiu Lisu's persistent nagging, so he finally signed his name on the preface.
Ai Zhonghua finally woke up. He recounted his experiences from that year to Ai Linjiang, clearly stating that he had not done anything to betray his family. Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou came to the hospital to visit Ai Zhonghua. Ai Zhonghua thanked Xue Xiaozhou for persuading Ai Linjiang to come back. Ma Xiaowei rushed over in a hurry. He knelt down and apologized to Ai Zhonghua, and also showed him a photo of his mother when she was alive.
Ai Zhonghua advised him to go back first. Ma Xiaowei was worried about losing everything. He cried profusely and knelt, begging his mother's soul in heaven to protect him. Ai Zhonghua was very impatient and finally persuaded Ma Xiaowei to leave after much effort. Ai Linjiang knew that Ai Zhonghua would not stand by and do nothing about Ma Xiaowei. He was very frustrated.
Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou suggested that Ai Linjiang buy a three-million trust fund for Ma Xiaowei. The essential difference between a trust and an annuity is that Ma Xiaowei must have a stable job to receive a fixed monthly living allowance. In case of weddings, funerals, or other major life events, he could also withdraw a certain amount of cash in one lump sum. Ai Linjiang had the right to modify the terms at any time.
This would not only ensure Ma Xiaowei's living needs but also save Ai Zhonghua and Ai Linjiang a lot of trouble in the future. Ai Linjiang carefully read the trust terms and signed the contract with Xue Xiaozhou on the spot. Xue Xiaozhou happily returned to the rental house. Wu Ya had already packed her luggage and was preparing to move to the hospital dormitory.
Xue Xiaozhou couldn't wait to tell her about securing Ai Linjiang's three-million big deal and persuaded Wu Ya to stay. Instead, Wu Ya advised him to move to a smaller house and use the money saved for his mother's further treatment. Manager Duan suggested stimulator therapy. Xue Xiaozhou learned that his mother might wake up and was overjoyed, cheering happily. He used his cat to try and keep Wu Ya, but Wu Ya was determined to leave.
The taxi Wu Ya called had arrived downstairs. Xue Xiaozhou walked Wu Ya to the dormitory. Wu Ya was prepared to break up with Xue Xiaozhou. She tearfully said goodbye to Xue Xiaozhou. Tang Ling heard that Xue Xiaozhou had closed two big deals consecutively, so she came to Li Qingqing to take credit, falsely claiming she had introduced many big clients to Xue Xiaozhou. Li Qingqing praised her profusely.
Tang Ling seized the opportunity to propose specializing in serving big clients, and Li Qingqing readily agreed. Tang Ling suspected there was a master behind Xue Xiaozhou and sent Yi Chang to investigate the matter. Ding Zhiyuan talked about high-brow topics every day, which ordinary people were not interested in, causing the viewership ratings for "Philosopher's Sayings" to plummet all the way. Zhong Ning advised him to talk about more down-to-earth topics.
Ding Zhiyuan firmly refused to compromise and pushed all the responsibility onto Zhong Ning. Zhong Ning was so angry she was speechless. Xue Xiaozhou transferred the commission from Ai Linjiang's deal in full to Hu Manli and actively suggested collaborating with Hu Manli again. Hu Manli played hard to get. Xue Xiaozhou praised Hu Manli as a good person and said he had learned a lot of valuable experience from her.
Furthermore, through Hu Manli's guidance, his hatred towards his father was completely eliminated. Hu Manli seized the opportunity to propose a 30-70 split with Xue Xiaozhou, and Xue Xiaozhou had no choice but to agree. Hu Manli signed a contract with him on the spot. Xue Xiaozhou asked Hu Manli to help him rent a cheaper apartment.
Hu Manli had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea: have Xue Xiaozhou move into her house and teach Ding Daer English along the way. Hu Manli sent her home address to Xue Xiaozhou. Xue Xiaozhou mistakenly thought it was a house Hu Manli had rented for him. He arrived with his luggage and cat, only to find out it was Hu Manli's home.
Xue Xiaozhou felt it would be inconvenient for the two of them to live together in the same place. Hu Manli clearly stated that she had no feelings for him and instead laughed at him for a bit.
