Because of You Episode 19 Recap
> Because of You Recap
Zhang Guoguo was doing laundry while scolding Li Yunkai. It turned out that she felt extremely jealous upon hearing about Li Yunkai's blind date, yet she also felt she had no standing to be jealous. Li Yunkai saw her conflicted and troubled expression and was overjoyed inside. When Zhang Guoguo half-jokingly, half-resentfully mentioned whether Li Yunkai was going to get married, Li Yunkai hurriedly declared that if Zhang Guoguo didn't marry, he absolutely wouldn't either.
Faced with such a direct hint, Zhang Guoguo's heart truly pounded and her face flushed. Zhang Guoguo went to Jinluge to see Dong Lijun. Dong Lijun asked Zhang Guoguo to make some handkerchiefs, wrist bags, and similar items to give to the welfare institution. As Zhang Guoguo was about to leave with the fabrics, Xu Huijie stopped her. Xu Huijie was very displeased about Zhang Guoguo appearing in Jinluge again.
After learning that Dong Lijun had approved this, Xu Huijie increasingly felt that Zhang Guoguo must be following Song Xiuhua's arrangements, trying to curry favor with Dong Lijun to stay in Jinluge and seize the position of embroidery master. No matter how much Zhang Guoguo explained, Xu Huijie refused to believe her. Xu Huijie arranged to meet Zhang Yuxin, mentioning the copyright matters from their previous collaboration with Shichuang Group.
She hinted that Zhang Yuxin should agree to Shichuang continuing to sell Jinluge's works, but Zhang Yuxin deliberately played dumb. Just then, Xu Huijie received a call; it was Li Yunzhe's fiancée, Gao Yating, who wanted to try on a dress. Hearing Gao Yating's name, Zhang Yuxin had other ideas and proactively offered to deliver the dress for Xu Huijie. After meeting Gao Yating, Zhang Yuxin discovered that this legendary young lady's temper was indeed as capricious as rumored.
While Zhang Yuxin was helping her try on clothes, she accidentally knocked off a beaded flower from her dress, causing the young lady to fly into a rage and demand an apology. Just then, Li Yunzhe rushed in and pulled Zhang Yuxin up. Gao Yating watched their hands clasped together, and anger surged within her. Although she might not have loved Li Yunzhe deeply, she could not tolerate seeing her fiancé holding another woman.
This time, Li Yunzhe did not back down; instead, he directly canceled his engagement with Gao Yating. Zhang Yuxin, brought out by Li Yunzhe, feigned pitifully that she could endure any grievance for Li Yunzhe. Li Yunzhe, who was already moved, seeing Zhang Yuxin still thinking only of him at that moment, leaned in for a deep kiss. Xu Huijie met with Zhang Yuxin and Li Yunzhe.
Full of joy, she thought the cooperation issue with Shichuang had been resolved and invited Zhang Yuxin back to Jinluge. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuxin refused, stating that the cooperation with Shichuang would also not continue, and at the same time, she handed Xu Huijie the previous cooperation documents with Shichuang. Xu Huijie was quite shocked by Zhang Yuxin's resolute action. Just then, Li Yunzhe picked up the document and found Zhang Guoguo's childhood photo tucked inside.
Fearing Xu Huijie would see it, Zhang Yuxin hastily put away the photo and excused herself to leave first. Xu Huijie caught up with Zhang Yuxin and reprimanded her, saying her actions were an act of ingratitude. But Zhang Yuxin stated that for all these years, anything Xu Huijie found inconvenient to handle, she had done it all. Now, she was merely making some plans for herself, and Xu Huijie's inability to accept it was unfair in itself.
Their conversation was full of hostility, and Xu Huijie, not wanting to get entangled further, turned to leave. But Zhang Yuxin suddenly rushed to her, knelt down, and begged Xu Huijie to take her as a daughter. She promised to follow Xu Huijie's lead from then on, and not only that, she would also make Li Yunzhe resume cooperation with Jinluge and at the same time make Dong Lijun completely relinquish control of Jinluge.
Considering all these things, Xu Huijie agreed to Zhang Yuxin's proposal. Xu Huijie found Jin Zhiming and proposed adopting Zhang Yuxin as her daughter. As expected, she met with opposition. Jin Zhiming could not accept anyone other than Jin Yibei, but Xu Huijie said she just needed spiritual solace. Thinking of the pain of not having a daughter for so many years, Jin Zhiming agreed.
The two then found Dong Lijun, who also expressed opposition, fearing that Zhang Yuxin would negatively impact Jin Yibei when she returned in the future. Jin Zhiming persuaded Dong Lijun that Zhang Yuxin's presence would not affect Jin Yibei. Zhang Guoguo was doing embroidery while waiting for Li Yunkai to come and learn English from her. However, Li Yunkai was forcefully kept at home by his father and He Juan at that time.
Unable to leave, Li Yunkai called Li Hailan for help. When Li Hailan brought Jiang Zhengchuan before Li's father, Li's father and He Juan reacted quite strongly. Remembering Jiang Zhengchuan's unannounced departure earlier, the two strongly advised Li Hailan not to associate with him anymore. Even Li Yunkai, who originally wanted to sneak away, was called back by his angry father, who told him to stop Li Hailan and Jiang Zhengchuan at all costs.
Unable to get away, Li Yunkai had to block them, but then he suddenly realized that Jiang Zhengchuan was the very person he had encountered at Zhang Guoguo's house before. Jiang Zhengchuan also recognized Li Yunkai at the same time. Indeed, when rivals meet, their eyes turn red with fury. Li Yunkai, who had originally intended to persuade, also joined the opposition. Seeing that they all shared the same attitude, Li Hailan directly pulled Jiang Zhengchuan away.
Li Yunkai came to Zhang Guoguo's home and discovered that Lu Sichen was also there, and Le Tong was even hugging Lu Sichen and calling him Dad. This made his heart a mix of emotions, and he became even more uncertain about Zhang Guoguo's feelings for him. Watching Lu Sichen giving Le Tong gifts and playing with her in the courtyard, Li Yunkai slinked away. Unwilling to give up, he called Zhang Guoguo.
Zhang Guoguo was also angry about his missed appointment. By this time, Li Yunkai had already overturned the vinegar jar. He subtly probed about Lu Sichen, and seeing that he hadn't achieved his goal, he awkwardly left a statement that was like a confession yet not, and then hung up. However, his words made Zhang Guoguo unable to sleep; she wasn't sure if Li Yunkai was confessing his feelings to her.
Li Yunkai also couldn't sleep, wondering if Zhang Guoguo could understand his feelings. Sleepless all night, Li Yunkai decided to be direct with Zhang Guoguo. Disregarding Zhang Guoguo's wishes, he simply hoisted her onto his shoulder and carried her to a quiet place. A somewhat nervous Li Yunkai confessed his feelings incoherently; he didn't know what Zhang Guoguo's reaction would be. After Zhang Guoguo listened to his words, she didn't emotionally throw herself into his arms.
Instead, she very realistically stated that she and Li Yunkai lived in two different worlds, and she also had Le Tong to take care of, so she couldn't recklessly accept his feelings. This did not make Li Yunkai retreat; instead, it strengthened his feelings for Zhang Guoguo even more. Zhang Yuxin called Lu Sichen out and threatened him not to bother her anymore. However, Lu Sichen demanded that Zhang Yuxin return the child to him.
How could Zhang Yuxin find the child now? She could only tell Lu Sichen that the child had been sent away, but this made Lu Sichen even angrier. He warned Zhang Yuxin that this matter would definitely not end there. Li Yunkai saw little Le Tong sitting on the ground with a worried expression, so he went over and asked her what was suddenly wrong. This only made Le Tong feel even more aggrieved.
She questioned Li Yunkai if he was going to abandon Zhang Guoguo and marry another woman. Seeing Le Tong crying so pitifully, Li Yunkai quickly stated that he only liked Zhang Guoguo and promised Le Tong that he would honorably marry Zhang Guoguo and bring her home. Le Tong, having reached an agreement with Li Yunkai, found Zhang Guoguo and said she wanted to eat cake.
Zhang Guoguo, unsuspecting, went directly to the store to buy one, but was told by the clerk that the venue was reserved for the day. Turning around, she saw Li Yunkai sitting nearby and was very puzzled. At Li Yunkai's repeated insistence, Zhang Guoguo reluctantly sat down, only to see one beautiful woman after another elegantly arriving. Although she hadn't accepted Li Yunkai, seeing so many beautiful women coming for him still made Zhang Guoguo extremely jealous.
Finally, all the beautiful women entered, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. Only Zhang Guoguo held a glass of milk, drinking it without taste. At this moment, Li Yunkai put down his glass and announced to the beautiful women present that Zhang Guoguo was his girlfriend. This sudden declaration caused Zhang Guoguo, who was completely unprepared, to spray all the milk onto Li Yunkai. The beautiful women looked at the disheveled Li Yunkai and couldn't stop giggling. It was then that Zhang Guoguo realized these beautiful women were not his ex-girlfriends as she had thought, but simply his friends.
