Across the Ocean to See You Episode 12 Recap
> Across the Ocean to See You Recap
Zheng Meiling took Zheng Chu to a party on a cruise ship. Coincidentally, Su Mang also arrived on the cruise ship with Su Chang. When Su Mang went to the restroom, she accidentally overheard Zheng Meiling discussing something with Tang Guoguo. It turned out that Zheng Meiling was determined to make Tang Guoguo her nephew's wife. To facilitate their union, Zheng Meiling told Tang Guoguo that she had put a little something in Zheng Chu's drink.
This way, after Zheng Chu finished his drink, she would have Tang Guoguo take him back to his room, and then the two of them would make it a done deal. Tang Guoguo listened to Zheng Meiling's suggestion and felt it was improper. She didn't want to get Zheng Chu this way, but out of consideration for her aunt's feelings, Tang Guoguo didn't say much. Su Mang was startled to hear this.
She thought, "Now Zheng Chu will owe me a big favor again." Zheng Meiling and Tang Guoguo took their seats. Su Mang and Su Chang quietly sat behind a few people. From the corner of his eye, Zheng Chu seemed to catch sight of Su Mang. Su Chang heard Tang Guoguo's voice and was overjoyed. He pulled Su Mang, Zheng Chu, and others to sit at the same table.
When Zheng Chu saw Su Mang, a spontaneous smile appeared on his face. Su Chang playfully messed up Zheng Meiling's matchmaking efforts between Tang Guoguo and Zheng Chu. As for Su Mang, she also quickly spilled Zheng Chu's drink on him. This made Zheng Meiling dislike Su Mang even more, and she felt even more hostile towards this strong-willed woman. Zheng Chu had no choice but to go back to his room to change clothes.
Su Mang followed him, offering a slight apology. Zheng Meiling and Tang Guoguo left, leaving Su Chang alone. Su Chang, feeling annoyed by Tang Guoguo's disregard for him, picked up the half glass of wine Zheng Chu hadn't finished earlier and gulped it down. As Zheng Chu was changing clothes in his room, he couldn't help but complain to Su Mang about her insisting on spilling the drink on him.
As for Su Mang, she smugly said, "Then you don't know what your aunt put in that drink." The two of them chatted and laughed. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang why she hadn't sent him on business trips recently, and instead sent Fang Yuan every time. A trace of panic flashed in Su Mang's eyes, but she immediately regained her composure and said in a "dominant woman" tone, "I'm doing this for your own good.
Not only are business trips tiring and demanding, they're also not good for finding a girlfriend." Zheng Chu jokingly told Su Mang with a cheeky smile that he was afraid his superior would trip him up. The two of them continued to bicker playfully. Su Mang knew in her heart that not sending Zheng Chu on business trips was because she didn't want him to be away for too long.
Perhaps, while she was getting used to Zheng Chu's care, she had also gotten used to having Zheng Chu by her side. After Su Chang drank the wine Zheng Meiling had originally prepared for Zheng Chu, he felt incredibly hot and restless. He quickly called Su Mang to ask if he had a fever. Su Mang clearly knew what was going on, but it was difficult for her to say it.
She could only awkwardly tell Su Chang to quickly take a cold shower, the colder the better. Su Mang suffered from insomnia that night, tossing and turning. So she sent Zheng Chu a WeChat message, inviting him to watch the sunrise together. The two of them stood on the deck, watching the sun joyfully emerge little by little from the sea horizon. However, Zheng Chu kept looking at his phone. Su Mang was displeased.
Zheng Chu explained that he was searching online. It turned out that early pregnancy insomnia is caused by nervousness, and they need to eat more high-protein foods. Su Mang looked at such an attentive and considerate Zheng Chu, and the warmth in her heart spread freely, just like the morning light on the sea, spreading freely in the depths of her heart. Tang Ming, with a face full of worry, absent-mindedly came to find Zheng Chu for a drink.
Tang Ming dejectedly told Zheng Chu that he had thought Yan Xiaoqiu was approaching him with ulterior motives. She used Tang Guoguo to get close to his parents, which disgusted him. But after Yan Xiaoqiu returned her father's surgery fees to him, she never contacted him again. Zheng Chu heard Tang Ming's words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zheng Chu explained on behalf of Yan Xiaoqiu, "Tang Guoguo is Tang Ming's biological sister.
Don't you understand her personality? Tang Guoguo has always disliked Chen Shanshan. Now that Tang Ming has another good woman by his side, of course Tang Guoguo would try hard to push this person towards Tang Ming's parents!" Tang Ming listened thoughtfully. The next day, Father Yan came to the hospital for his follow-up check-up. Tang Ming chatted with Father Yan. He intentionally wanted to learn more about the matters between the two sisters, Yan Xiaoqiu and Chen Shanshan.
Father Yan recalled past events, full of regret. Back then, Father Yan was addicted to gambling and lost all their family fortune. Yan Xiaoqiu's mother then divorced Father Yan, taking their younger daughter with her. Father Yan tried hard to push Yan Xiaoqiu to her biological mother, but Yan Xiaoqiu refused to leave no matter what he said. She kept saying that she believed her dad wasn't that kind of person.
It was precisely because of Yan Xiaoqiu's expectations that Father Yan finally made up his mind to quit gambling. From the description of Yan Xiaoqiu given by Zheng Chu and Father Yan, he knew that he had indeed misunderstood Yan Xiaoqiu, and had also hurt her. Father Yan could see that there was a misunderstanding between Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu. Tang Ming insisted on taking Father Yan home.
Father Yan felt this was an opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between the two young people. But unexpectedly, when Yan Xiaoqiu opened the door and saw Tang Ming, her eyes showed only aloofness. She simply thanked Dr. Tang for taking Father Yan home, and then closed the door. Tang Ming felt a wave of disappointment. Using the excuse that she had their mother's relics at home, Yan Xiaoqiu invited Chen Shanshan to her house.
Yan Xiaoqiu had originally thought that after so many years, they were biological sisters after all, and hoped they could resolve their grudges face-to-face. But Chen Shanshan arrogantly stated that she would not forgive her father, nor would she acknowledge Yan Xiaoqiu as her older sister. She said they had no connection to her, she was living very well now, and didn't need their familial affection. Yan Xiaoqiu looked at Chen Shanshan in such a state, and felt extremely sad.
Tang Guoguo participated in a program rehearsal. But for some reason, her voice suddenly gave out. This made Tony very anxious. Tang Guoguo dismissed it, she felt it was just because of something she ate earlier. But those newcomers who were jealous of Tang Guoguo didn't think so. Especially Ye Lisha. Taking advantage of Tang Guoguo's voice failing her, making her unable to perform, she quickly went on stage and replaced Tang Guoguo. How could Tang Guoguo endure such humiliation?
She immediately flew into a rage. Fortunately, Tony pulled her away. Tang Guoguo could only vent her anger on Tony. Tang Ming returned home. Father Tang called Tang Ming to drink tea together. It was rare for the father and son to chat peacefully about daily life like this. Father Tang instructed Tang Ming that if he wasn't busy with hospital matters, he should participate in more social activities. This way he could find a girlfriend sooner.
Mother Tang, who was standing nearby, said, "That girl Tang Guoguo brought back last time was very good!" Father Tang asked, "Which girl?" Mother Tang explained that Tang Guoguo said she was her best friend, and that's why she brought her home. Tang Ming heard Mother Tang's words and only then realized that it was indeed Tang Guoguo who brought Yan Xiaoqiu home that day.
Recalling how he had misunderstood Yan Xiaoqiu's intentions because of this matter, and had said so many hurtful things to Yan Xiaoqiu, Tang Ming felt extremely regretful. Su Mang enrolled in a prenatal yoga class. On the day of the first class, when Su Mang rushed to the yoga class, everyone had already started. Every pregnant woman had brought her husband, making the solitary Su Mang particularly conspicuous.
The teacher kindly reminded Su Mang that she should bring her husband next time, because many prenatal yoga poses could not be completed by one person alone. Su Mang smiled awkwardly. Just then, Zheng Chu also rushed to the yoga class, carrying an insulated box. It turned out that Zheng Chu had cooked a meal for Su Mang. Just as Su Mang was going to the yoga class, Zheng Chu followed Su Mang's car all the way on his bicycle.
Zheng Chu helped Su Mang complete the yoga poses, and jokingly explained with a cheeky smile that Su Mang had been wronged because of his aunt's matter a while ago, and he was here to make it up to her. Although Su Mang didn't let Zheng Chu off easily with her words, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
The nearby pregnant women were all envious of Su Mang for having such a considerate and good husband, who even made her a meal and brought it over. Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu, who was very smug after hearing the praise, and smiled shyly. But none of them noticed that at that moment, someone outside the classroom was secretly taking pictures of them with a phone.
This person was precisely the assistant of He He, the former director of the Tourism Department, who was now Su Mang's assistant, Aila. The next day, Su Mang went to work. She was called over by the general manager for a talk. The general manager straightforwardly asked Su Mang why she had concealed her pregnancy from the company. Su Mang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how the general manager could have known about it.
The general manager admonished Su Mang that although she had lived in the UK for a long time, and was more or less influenced by Western open-minded thinking, this was China after all, and many things were still very conservative. Su Mang explained that this was her private matter, and it would not affect her work. Su Mang angrily went to find Zheng Chu. Only Zheng Chu in the entire company knew about her pregnancy.
Su Mang thought Zheng Chu had leaked the secret, and she was furious at Zheng Chu, giving him a dirty look. No matter how Zheng Chu explained, Su Mang wouldn't listen. This made Zheng Chu feel extremely wronged. In the staff canteen, Aila was triumphantly gossiping with Xiao Gu and others about Su Mang's pregnancy. Zheng Chu came over to eat and heard Aila gossiping, and describing Su Mang in such a degrading way.
He was about to stop them, when Fei Yi got up from not far away and walked to Aila and their table. He severely reprimanded Aila and the others. Zheng Chu saw that the gossiping people had all dispersed. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw not far from Aila and their table, Su Mang's slight figure standing there. Su Mang coincidentally turned around, and their gazes unexpectedly met.
Zheng Chu looked at the dejected Su Mang with eyes full of pity. Su Mang quickly turned away, not wanting Zheng Chu to see her vulnerability. Zheng Chu hurriedly returned home after work. He found that Su Mang wasn't home, and she wasn't answering her phone. Zheng Chu ran all over every place Su Mang might be, but couldn't find her. Zheng Chu was worried sick.
He worried if Su Mang had suffered a blow and something bad had happened to her. Zheng Chu remembered Su Mang had taken him to the old house where she and Su Chang grew up, and decided to look there. When Zheng Chu, out of breath, arrived by bicycle at the old house that had already become ruins, he indeed found Su Mang daydreaming there. Finally, Zheng Chu's heart could rest at ease.
Su Mang apologized for having wrongly accused Zheng Chu earlier that day. Zheng Chu carelessly joked that he wouldn't bother arguing with a silly pregnant woman. Zheng Chu comforted Su Mang, telling her not to care what others said. Zheng Chu secretly and tentatively asked Su Mang if she still loved her ex-husband. Su Mang calmly replied that she no longer loved him. " As early as when he gave me the divorce agreement, I stopped loving him."
A wave of secret joy surged in Zheng Chu's heart. At the same time, Su Mang also asked Zheng Chu, "What about his ex-girlfriend? Does he still love her?" Zheng Chu immediately declared, "A good horse doesn't eat old grass," (meaning he doesn't go back to old relationships). The two of them exchanged a knowing smile. Zheng Chu covered Su Mang's eyes and took her to a place.
When Su Mang opened her eyes, she found that all the things from the old house were here, and they were all still the same. Tears filled her eyes for a moment. It turned out that after Zheng Chu had seen Su Mang's old house, he had secretly gone to negotiate with the developer, and transferred all the belongings from the old house here for people to visit and exhibit.
Although this was no longer Su Mang and Su Chang's secret place, it could preserve their most complete memories of the old house. Su Mang was deeply moved. She tightly hugged Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu was overwhelmed for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them started joking and playing around again.
It's just that at this moment, perhaps neither of them had realized yet that the other person, in their heart, had already become an indispensable part of them. The next day, Zheng Chu went to work. He noticed that his colleagues were looking at him strangely. While Zheng Chu was still puzzled, Xiao Gu mysteriously came to find Zheng Chu. He secretly asked him if the child in Su Mang's belly was his. Zheng Chu quickly and sternly denied it.
Xiao Gu showed Zheng Chu the company's intranet. It turned out that someone had posted photos of Zheng Chu accompanying Su Mang to her prenatal yoga class. This had already caused a strong sensation within the company, and Su Mang's reputation was even more damaged. Zheng Chu angrily said that this was cyberbullying. To resolve the matter, Zheng Chu decided to go to the Marketing Department. Su Mang watched as Zheng Chu indignantly went to the Marketing Department.
Coincidentally, Aila came in to deliver documents. Su Mang told Aila that she was going out for a bit. She ordered Aila to sort the documents on her desk. After that, she should clean up the conference room, as she would need it for a meeting soon. Aila looked confused.
Su Mang looked at Aila with cold eyes, and told her that it was her own poor management before, but from now on, she would let her know what a director's assistant should be doing. Zheng Chu was in Fei Yi's office. He requested Fei Yi to transfer him from the Tourism Department to the Marketing Department. Su Mang came in and stopped Zheng Chu's application to transfer departments.
She also calmly told General Manager Fei that Zheng Chu had not made a mistake. If he was transferred departments just like that, people would say that she couldn't retain her staff. Zheng Chu secretly told Su Mang, "Doing this is good for both you and me." But Su Mang refused Zheng Chu, and said that doing so would be playing right into the hands of the rumor-mongers.
She also threatened Zheng Chu to quickly go back with her, otherwise, his next month's salary would be docked. Zheng Chu heard this, and had no choice but to follow Su Mang back to the Tourism Department.
