Because of You Episode 17 Recap
> Because of You Recap
Le Tong's hospitalization date was quickly set, which made Zhang Guoguo and Le Tong very happy. After all, this meant Le Tong could recover her health. Due to the surgery's requirements, Zhang Guoguo specifically came to Jinluge to return the antique embroidery that Dong Lijun had previously entrusted her to restore.
It so happened that Dong Lijun was not there, so Zhang Yuxin told Zhang Guoguo to put down the items and then leave, but Zhang Guoguo insisted on waiting until Dong Lijun returned before leaving. When one plan failed, she devised another. Zhang Yuxin used the excuse that Dong Lijun disliked people entering her room and touching her things, asking Zhang Guoguo to hand the embroidery to her.
Thinking that Le Tong still needed care at home, Zhang Guoguo confidently placed the embroidery on the table, saying that she would not be able to come to Jinluge again recently due to other matters, and then left. Meanwhile, Ding Wei also arrived in Xiping, asking everyone he met for news of Zhang Yuxin, but unfortunately, no one recognized Zhang Yuxin. Returning to Jinluge, Dong Lijun quickly discovered the embroidery left by Zhang Guoguo.
However, by this time, the embroidery had already been replaced with an inferior product by Zhang Yuxin. Seeing such workmanship, Dong Lijun was very angry, and Xu Huijie took the opportunity to make things worse. However, Dong Lijun refused to believe that this was Zhang Guoguo's standard. Seeing Dong Lijun's trust in Zhang Guoguo, Zhang Yuxin was very resentful. She slandered Zhang Guoguo, saying that she would never come to Jinluge again. Such irresponsible behavior made Dong Lijun very dissatisfied.
Zhang Guoguo led Le Tong to prepare for hospitalization. Le Tong, who was in a very good mood, specifically said goodbye to Jiang Zhengchuan before leaving. Just then, someone called to speak with Zhang's mother. It turned out that because Ding Wei was looking for Zhang Yuxin, the old neighbors in Xiping were surprised and asked Zhang's mother. The nervous Zhang's mother felt much relieved after hearing that the other party had not found out anything.
Zhang Guoguo quickly completed the hospitalization procedures with Le Tong. At this time, Li Yunkai, who knew Le Tong was having surgery, also rushed to visit Le Tong. He encouraged Le Tong while promising her that he would take good care of Zhang Guoguo during her surgery. Soon, Le Tong was pushed into the operating room.
Zhang Guoguo, eager for her daughter's well-being, was very nervous, and Le Tong coincidentally developed sudden symptoms requiring Zhang Guoguo's signature for consent, which made Zhang Guoguo's heart clench. Helpless, she could only pray that Le Tong would be okay while quietly weeping. Seeing Zhang Guoguo like this, Li Yunkai pulled Zhang Guoguo away from the operating room, continuously comforting her and reassuring her. He Juan visited Dong Lijun as usual.
When she learned that Zhang Guoguo had submitted an inferior embroidery piece, and recalling Zhang's mother's previous mention of Le Tong's surgery, He Juan suddenly understood. And learning that Zhang Guoguo was pregnant before marriage made Dong Lijun even more furious, feeling that Zhang Guoguo's character was truly problematic. Ding Wei rushed back from Xiping to Zhenhu and told Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie the investigation results.
It turned out that due to the long time passed, no one could remember Zhang Yuxin, only vaguely heard her seemingly calling someone named Wang Aiyu "mother." The two planned to find Wang Aiyu to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, this conversation was overheard by Zhang Yuxin. She quickly called Zhang's mother, but no one answered. Left with no choice, she decided to go find Zhang's mother herself.
Arriving at where Zhang's mother lived, Zhang Yuxin encountered Song Xiuhua, who was about to go out. Given Zhang Yuxin's past actions, Song Xiuhua had no good impression of her, so she asked Zhang Yuxin to leave. However, Zhang's mother happened to return. Seeing her daughter, Zhang's mother's emotions were a bit agitated, but due to Song Xiuhua's presence, the two had to vaguely say they were old acquaintances from Xiping.
However, their obvious attempts to conceal something made Song Xiuhua feel very strange. Zhang Yuxin told Zhang's mother that Xu Huijie and Jin Zhiming would soon come to ask her about her background, and she asked Zhang's mother to help conceal it. Before she could finish speaking, Xu Huijie and Jin Zhiming arrived at Zhang's mother's doorstep. Zhang Yuxin hastily hid inside the house.
When Jin Zhiming asked Zhang's mother about Zhang Yuxin's situation, Zhang's mother vehemently denied it, but Xu Huijie suddenly noticed Zhang Yuxin's handbag on the table inside the house. The two became even more certain that Zhang Yuxin must know Zhang's mother. Unable to hide any longer, Zhang Yuxin had to come out.
Facing Xu Huijie and Jin Zhiming's questioning, Zhang Yuxin vehemently denied Zhang's mother's identity, saying that she had only stayed as a lodger at Zhang's mother's house before. Seeing her daughter's statement, Zhang's mother felt very distressed. She painfully murmured to herself, shedding tears and blaming Zhang Yuxin for having lost her true self in her current actions. However, this statement was recorded on a mobile phone by Lu Sichen, who arrived later.
He Juan called Zhang Guoguo to tell her about the embroidery incident. Zhang Guoguo hurried back to Jinluge to verify it. Facing Dong Lijun, Zhang Guoguo repeatedly stated that the embroidery was not done by her. Dong Lijun, who also had doubts, asked if anyone else had entered her room. Zhang Guoguo remembered that Zhang Yuxin had also been there, but Xu Huijie believed Zhang Guoguo was just shirking responsibility.
Dong Lijun then asked Zhang Guoguo about Le Tong, expressing subtle criticism regarding her premarital pregnancy. However, Zhang Guoguo generously admitted Le Tong's existence and did not consider her a disgrace. Because Le Tong was still in surgery, Zhang Guoguo did not want to waste more time on such a meaningless dispute, so she wanted to return to the hospital first. As soon as she went out, she ran into Zhang Yuxin.
Zhang Guoguo advised Zhang Yuxin to stop while she was ahead, and the atmosphere between them became somewhat tense. Jin Zhiming, who had come out, suggested investigating the truth. Dong Lijun then sent someone to Zhang Yuxin's room to retrieve her embroidery work. Through comparison, Dong Lijun discovered that the inferior embroidery was indeed not Zhang Yuxin's technique. Seeing that the matter would not implicate her, Zhang Yuxin once again insisted that Zhang Guoguo was framing her.
A very disappointed Zhang Guoguo told Dong Lijun that the inferior embroidery had a special perfume scent, and this scent clearly did not belong to her. Exposed, Zhang Yuxin could no longer hide. While admitting her mistake, she also blamed Zhang Guoguo for causing it. Her practice of only shirking responsibility onto others greatly disappointed Dong Lijun and Jin Zhiming. Dong Lijun handed the matter over to Xu Huijie to handle. Zhang Yuxin deeply resented Zhang Guoguo.
When she saw Xu Huijie coming to find her, unwilling to be expelled from Jinluge, she knelt and begged Xu Huijie, but her mistake this time made it impossible for Xu Huijie to help her either. Song Xiuhua rushed to the hospital to visit Le Tong. Learning about the embroidery issue from Li Yunkai, Song Xiuhua's understanding of Zhang Guoguo made her highly doubt the veracity of the matter.
Li Yunkai took the opportunity to learn about Zhang Guoguo's past from Song Xiuhua. When he learned that Zhang's mother had once ruined Zhang Guoguo's future in such a way, both of them found it difficult to understand. Because Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie had previously inquired about Zhang Yuxin, Zhang's mother specifically called Zhang Guoguo to the corridor and instructed her not to reveal Zhang Yuxin's true identity. Zhang Guoguo felt very helpless about Zhang's mother's actions.
The two had a small argument. At this moment, Song Xiuhua, who came out of the ward, overheard their entire conversation. Zhang Guoguo was very happy to see that little Le Tong was completely fine. Song Xiuhua advised her and Li Yunkai to take this opportunity to go eat something first. The two sat in the restaurant. Zhang Guoguo suddenly suggested she wanted to learn English.
It turned out that when she went to Jinluge earlier, she happened to encounter a foreign reporter, and not knowing English, she caused a lot of embarrassment during her communication with the foreign reporter. Li Yunkai, seeing her eagerness to learn, was naturally willing to help. However, upon seeing her crude eating manners again, he felt quite a headache.
Zhang Yuxin wanted to ask Li Yunzhe for help, but at this moment, Li Yunzhe did not have time to see her. Just then, she encountered Lu Sichen again. Lu Sichen, who already had some understanding of her background, was not in a hurry to confront her. Instead, when she saw Lu Sichen, she once again accused him of being delusional. Having no other choice, Zhang Yuxin called Li Yunzhe again to arrange a meeting.
Faced with Li Yunzhe's repeated rejections, she took the initiative to confess her feelings to him, saying that she had deeply loved him for a long time. However, Li Yunzhe, who already had a fiancée, did not want to give up his rich and powerful fiancée for Zhang Yuxin, so he was indifferent to her heartfelt confession. Zhang Yuxin sat helplessly on the chair, letting the rain pour down. Li Yunzhe still rushed over.
Seeing hope, Zhang Yuxin once again told Li Yunzhe that they were the same kind of people and should be together. However, his childhood experiences made Li Yunzhe dislike people who were like him the most. For the sake of his ambition, he could not deviate from his path. Hoping to move Li Yunzhe, Zhang Yuxin actively leaned in and kissed him.
