Beautiful Reborn Flower Episode 43 Recap
> Beautiful Reborn Flower Recap
Qiao Man recovered from her fright after nearly being hit by a car, which had left her unconscious. Han Sen was by her side, assuring her that the doctor said she was merely shocked and not physically harmed. Meanwhile, Han Sen confronted Ben, who had been hiding. Ben admitted he had used the copyright money to pay off his debts, causing distress for Qiao Man.
Han Sen warned Ben that he would pay for the harm he had caused Qiao Man before going back to check on her. Qiao Man, troubled by Anthony's past remarks, questioned Han Sen about how long he had known her sister, Qiao Fang, and if they were truly biological sisters.
Han Sen dismissed Anthony as untrustworthy and firmly reassured Qiao Man that she and Qiao Fang were indeed real sisters, urging her not to mention it to Qiao Fang as it would upset her. He pledged to guard Qiao Man forever. Lin Heping visited Xiao Xi at her bar, bringing her a piece from his company's exquisite "Tian Gong" art series. He noticed the wall where many photos used to hang was now empty.
Xiao Xi explained that Han Sen, accompanied by Luo Chen, had insisted Luo Chen remove them. Xiao Xi then confided in Lin Heping about a problem with the copyright for her novel, "Meeting Barcelona." She explained that she had purchased the copyright through an agent named Ben, but Director Jin Ke also claimed to own the rights, creating a dual ownership situation that left her in a difficult position.
Later, Lin Heping returned to his apartment building, still preoccupied with Qiao Man's copyright issue, when he encountered Han Sen and Ben. Han Sen announced he had bought the apartment next door and intended it to be his and Qiao Man's marital home, even offering to pay Qiao Man's rent.
Lin Heping refused the rent and vehemently stated that he would not bless Han Sen and Qiao Man's union, believing that love achieved through "moral kidnapping" would never lead to happiness. Ben, surprised, asked Han Sen who Lin Heping was, and Han Sen casually dismissed him as merely Qiao Man's admirer, asserting that Lin Heping's feelings were insignificant compared to his own. One day, Lin Heping saw Qiao Man looking distressed.
He asked if she was bothered by the copyright issue, but Qiao Man explained that Han Sen had already resolved it. Lin Heping then suggested her distress stemmed from marrying someone she didn't love. Qiao Man reacted defensively, threatening to leave, but then asked Lin Heping to tell her about Nan Sheng. Lin Heping refused, stating that telling Han Sen's wife about Nan Sheng felt strange.
He reiterated his unwavering commitment to wait for Qiao Man, asking her only to consider if she truly loved Han Sen. Qiao Man, in her thoughts, firmly declared that she would not betray Han Sen and that their marriage would indeed be a happy one. Meanwhile, Lin Heping's mother arrived at his apartment building, bringing him soup. She was stunned to see Qiao Man leaving the building, mistaking her for Nan Sheng due to their uncanny resemblance.
A Li, who was also present, intervened and explained that the woman was Qiao Man, their neighbor, not Nan Sheng. Lin Mama then noticed A Li living with Lin Heping and became furious, accusing A Li of pursuing her son. A Li tried to defend herself, explaining it was a common living arrangement, but Lin Mama was adamant, declaring that she would never approve of A Li and Lin Heping's relationship because her son did not love her.
As A Li prepared to leave, visibly upset, Lin Mama suddenly fainted. A Li immediately called Lin Heping, urging him to come home quickly. Han Sen took Ben to Xiao Xi's bar to resolve the copyright issue. Xiao Xi was still furious with Ben, ready to confront him physically. Ben, remorseful, offered to terminate their copyright agreement and refund all the money.
However, Xiao Xi explained that her magazine had already printed thousands of copies of the book, making termination a huge financial loss. Seeing the impasse, Han Sen proposed a solution: Xiao Xi's magazine and Director Jin Ke should collaborate on "Meeting Barcelona," with one focusing on publishing and the other on film adaptation. Xiao Xi agreed, seeing it as the most practical solution. Lin Heping rushed home to find his mother conscious and being attended to by A Li.
After A Li left for work, Lin Mama recounted her encounter with Qiao Man, still convinced she was Nan Sheng. Lin Heping clarified that it was Qiao Man, a colleague from Barcelona, and not Nan Sheng, who had passed away years ago. Despite his explanation, Lin Mama, longing for Nan Sheng, couldn't believe such a resemblance was a coincidence and insisted that Lin Heping find a way for her to meet Qiao Man again, to which he reluctantly agreed.
At Li Ping Pavilion Studio, Mr. Yan introduced Han Sen as a new shareholder. A Li was late for the meeting, explaining that Lin Heping's mother had fallen ill. Han Sen publicly declared his ambition to transform Yi Pin Culture and Li Ping Pavilion Studio into the largest art company and proposed developing "The Beacon" art series. A Li reminded him that "The Beacon" oil painting was Lin Heping's private property and his willingness to use it was uncertain.
Han Sen confidently responded that it was Lin Heping's long-standing wish to develop the series and that he would fully support Lin Heping's work. He also clarified that his previous opposition was due to Lin Heping's pursuit of Qiao Man, but now that Qiao Man was his wife, those past issues no longer bothered him. During the visit, Luo Chen arrived at Li Ping Pavilion Studio, agitated about the copyright issue, and demanded to speak with Han Sen.
Han Sen explained that he was simply helping his wife, Qiao Man, resolve a problem and reiterated the collaboration plan between Xiao Xi and Director Jin Ke. Luo Chen vehemently insisted that Director Jin Ke must purchase the copyright from his company, as they were the sole owners after acquiring it from Ben. Han Sen, asserting that money could solve any problem, offered a large sum, effectively humiliating Luo Chen, who stormed off in anger.
Xiao Xi later confronted Luo Chen, criticizing his impulsive behavior and stubbornness. She asserted that Han Sen's proposed collaboration was the best solution. She also accused Luo Chen of only superficially accepting her love while still harboring feelings for Nan Sheng, never truly moving on from the past. Luo Chen declared that he would now listen to himself and handle the matter independently. Lin Heping brought Qiao Man to his mother's house.
Qiao Man found the home strangely familiar, as if she had been there before. When Lin Heping went to get her an apple, Qiao Man saw a photograph on the table. It was a picture of Nan Sheng's father, the very man who had been appearing in her recurring visions of a car accident. This deeply troubled her, making her question her connection to Nan Sheng. Feeling overwhelmed, Qiao Man quickly excused herself, apologizing for her abrupt departure, and promised to make it up to Lin Mama another day.
