Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou arrived at the rooftop. Zhong Ning was preparing to jump off the building to commit suicide. Hu Manli shouted to stop her. Zhong Ning did not want to continue living and was determined to die. She had already called the insurance company, and Jun Jun's testamentary trust was fine. Hu Manli clearly stated that if Zhong Ning committed suicide, her insurance would become invalid, and Jun Jun would not receive a single cent.

She also hinted for Xue Xiaozhou to lie and deceive Zhong Ning. Xue Xiaozhou lied, claiming that the Insurance Regulatory Commission had just issued a notice. Zhong Ning did not believe him at all; she felt life was no longer worth living. Xue Xiaozhou climbed onto the railing, saying he would die with Zhong Ning. His mother had died from illness, and his girlfriend had left him. Xue Xiaozhou felt like a useless person.

Thanks to Hu Manli, who scolded him awake, Xue Xiaozhou advised Zhong Ning to wait patiently, believing that the person who cared about her would come. Zhong Ning thought it was impossible. Hu Manli sent a message to call Jun Jun over. Jun Jun took out the picture that Hu Manli had sent him of Zhong Ning when she was old. He was heartbroken and urged Zhong Ning to live well.

Zhong Ning knew her illness was incurable and did not want to continue living. Jun Jun pleaded with her not to commit suicide, vowing to spend the last moments of her life with her. Zhong Ning's heart was melted. She and Jun Jun hugged and cried. Xue Xiaozhou successfully persuaded Zhong Ning to give up on suicide by threatening to die himself.

Hu Manli looked at him with admiration and regretted her impulsive act of going to the restaurant to find Xue Xiaozhou earlier. Tang Ling definitely knew about their collaboration and would certainly not let it go easily. Xue Xiaozhou wanted to give the bag Tang Ling gave him to Hu Manli, but Hu Manli flatly refused and sold the bag at a second-hand store for a thousand yuan.

Xue Xiaozhou thanked Hu Manli for her help and support during this time. Hu Manli took the opportunity to propose increasing the profit sharing ratio, but Xue Xiaozhou could tell she was joking. Hu Manli confided in Xue Xiaozhou about the accumulated distress in her heart; her career and marriage had both failed, and she could only pretend to be strong. Xue Xiaozhou didn't know how to comfort her and just stayed by her side silently.

Tang Ling returned home and told Chen Fang about Hu Manli and Xue Xiaozhou's collaboration. Chen Fang told her to get rid of Xue Xiaozhou. Tang Ling had already thought of a way to bring down Hu Manli. Qiu Lisu asked Ding Zhiyuan to buy her spicy wontons with chili oil. Ding Zhiyuan was extremely busy. Qiu Lisu then used the baby in her belly to pressure him, so Ding Zhiyuan had no choice but to go buy them.

When Ding Zhiyuan bought the spicy wontons, Qiu Lisu no longer wanted to eat them. She was constantly throwing up. Ding Zhiyuan thought it was morning sickness and didn't dwell on it. Qiu Lisu asked Ding Zhiyuan to accompany her to prenatal training classes. Ding Zhiyuan complained bitterly in his heart. Hu Manli accidentally discovered that Xue Xiaozhou had white hairs, so she helped him pull them out one by one.

Xue Xiaozhou did not want to give up the big deal with Ai Linjiang and was working twice as hard for the bonus luxury car. Hu Manli no longer stopped him. Ding Zhiyuan was overwhelmed and had to call his parents to come and help take care of Qiu Lisu. Ding's mother felt that Qiu Lisu was not simple and wanted to set rules for her. Ding Zhiyuan went to the station to pick up his parents.

Qiu Lisu warmly welcomed their arrival. Ding's mother asked Qiu Lisu to give the upper seat to Ding's father and sit in the lower seat. Qiu Lisu had to comply. Xue Xiaozhou worked overtime to complete the insurance plan. Hu Manli felt something was still missing. He and Ai Linjiang were love rivals, so the plan had to be irreplaceable. Xue Xiaozhou suddenly had a breakthrough. He wanted to find a way in through Ma Xiaowei.

Tang Ling suddenly sent a message asking Hu Manli to meet her at a beauty salon. Xue Xiaozhou was curious about the relationship between Hu Manli and Tang Ling. Tang Ling used to be a nail salon employee. Hu Manli met Tang Ling there, and Tang Ling became her apprentice. Later, Tang Ling joined Tai Ying International Insurance. Tang Ling arrived at the beauty salon on time to meet Hu Manli. She主动 offered to collaborate with Hu Manli.

Hu Manli agreed to introduce a big client to Tang Ling. She heard that Chen Fang wanted to steal the deal and also lied, claiming that Chen Fang was getting hot with a new beautiful female salesperson. Tang Ling believed it to be true. She went home to confront Chen Fang, but Chen Fang denied it vehemently, asserting that Hu Manli deliberately framed her. Tang Ling did not believe him at all.

She called the Human Resources Department at Blue Ocean Company to inquire about the situation and confirmed that no new employees had joined. Hu Manli deliberately spread the false news that Chen Fang was having an affair to sow discord between Tang Ling and Chen Fang. Ding Zhiyuan's parents disliked Qiu Lisu and found fault with her everywhere. Ding Zhiyuan was caught in the middle and felt very awkward.
