Because of You Episode 20 Recap
> Because of You Recap
Zhang Guoguo learned from the other girls that she was actually Li Yunkai's first love, which made her feel incredibly sweet inside, and she finally accepted Li Yunkai's feelings. At Zhang Guoguo's doorstep, Li Yunkai, facing the person he deeply loved, asked for a small gesture of affection. Zhang Guoguo closed her eyes, expecting Li Yunkai's kiss.
The excited Li Yunkai, however, suddenly found that his seatbelt was too tight, making it impossible for him to get close to Zhang Guoguo. This made him both embarrassed and anxious. Seeing Li Yunkai like this, Zhang Guoguo laughed and ran away. Zhang Guoguo took Le Tong to a parent-child activity, but forgot to bring a kite for Le Tong. Just then, Li Yunkai arrived, bringing a kite he had made himself.
Zhang Guoguo looked at the kite and suddenly felt it was strangely familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it before, no matter how hard she tried. Li Yunkai ran into an acquaintance. Seeing Li Yunkai also participating in the parent-child activity, the acquaintance was surprised. Li Yunkai, however, generously stated that Zhang Guoguo was his girlfriend.
Little Le Tong then returned to their side, but was pointed out by the acquaintance's child that Le Tong's mother was a single mother, making the atmosphere a bit awkward for a moment. Xu Huijie and Jin Zhiming told Zhang Yuxin that they agreed to adopt her as their goddaughter and would personally announce this news in front of all their relatives. Zhang Yuxin was incredibly excited inside.
However, Jin Zhiming mentioned that Dong Lijun still didn't agree to this, and Zhang Yuxin said she would definitely perform well. Thinking that her goal was finally achieved, Zhang Yuxin grew increasingly complacent. But at this moment, Lu Sichen called her. Zhang Yuxin, blinded by greed, remembered Lu Sichen's previous warnings and felt very uneasy in her heart. Upon returning home, Zhang Guoguo and Le Tong found Xu Xiaoqin at the door.
Seeing the injuries on her hand, Zhang Guoguo felt it was a bit strange, but Xu Xiaoqin spoke vaguely, only saying she had some special circumstances and had come to seek refuge with Zhang Guoguo. Without thinking much, Zhang Guoguo agreed to take Xu Xiaoqin in. Having not seen each other for a long time, they naturally wanted to drink and chat happily. Xu Xiaoqin always had Li Yunkai on her mind, so she asked Zhang Guoguo about Li Yunkai.
This made Zhang Guoguo very awkward; she didn't dare to tell Xu Xiaoqin about the relationship between Li Yunkai and herself, and could only give perfunctory answers. Meanwhile, Li Yunkai, who had already left, discovered that Le Tong's schoolbag was left in his car, and decided to return it to Zhang Guoguo.
Zhang Guoguo looked at the suddenly appearing Li Yunkai and gestured with her eyes for him not to appear in front of Xu Xiaoqin, but Li Yunkai was unwilling. Zhang Guoguo, having no choice, had to pretend that she had just run into Li Yunkai and brought him in front of Xu Xiaoqin. The three of them sat down together.
However, they didn't realize that Zhang Yuxin, who was outside the door, took pictures of them and found someone to investigate Xu Xiaoqin's situation. Li Yunkai took every opportunity to explicitly and implicitly persuade Xu Xiaoqin to give up her thoughts about him, but Xu Xiaoqin remained indifferent. Seeing Xu Xiaoqin, who had succumbed to alcohol and passed out, Li Yunkai finally found an opportunity to pull Zhang Guoguo aside.
Just as he was about to kiss Zhang Guoguo, Xu Xiaoqin suddenly woke up. Seeing this scene, the heartbroken Xu Xiaoqin ran out. Xu Xiaoqin, hiding in a corner, secretly cried, but then saw Zhang Yuxin pass by and thought she was sent by Zhang Guoguo to mock her.
Zhang Yuxin, who had ulterior motives, after learning that Xu Xiaoqin had run away from Zhang Guoguo's place, proactively comforted her and gave her money to find a place to settle down. Xu Xiaoqin didn't return home overnight, and Zhang Guoguo was very worried, but Li Yunkai didn't take it seriously.
He pulled Zhang Guoguo to sit next to Le Tong, and the three of them talked and laughed happily, but this scene was also captured by Zhang Yuxin from outside the door. While Zhang Mu was strolling on the street, she saw a notice posted by Jin Zhiming searching for Jin Yibei, and recognized it as Zhang Guoguo from her childhood.
It turned out her parents had always been looking for her whereabouts, which made Zhang Mu decide to contact Jin Zhiming. Unaware of the full story, she proactively called Jin Zhiming, saying she had news of Jin Yibei. This made Jin Zhiming extremely excited, but made Zhang Yuxin extremely panicked.
Jin Zhiming told Zhang Mu to come to him according to the address, and at the same time, told Xu Huijie and Dong Lijun the news; all three of them were very happy. Zhang Yuxin anxiously called Zhang Mu but no one answered. At this point, Xu Huijie found her and said that the matter of adopting her as their goddaughter would have to wait until Jin Yibei returned.
Zhang Yuxin outwardly expressed understanding, but inwardly she was filled with immense hatred. Zhang Guoguo happened to come to deliver the handkerchief and wristlet she had made earlier. Upon learning that Jin Yibei had been found, she also felt happy for Dong Lijun, so she left the items and departed. When Zhang Mu finally arrived at the entrance of Jinlü Pavilion, Zhang Yuxin, afraid of being exposed, proactively went out to greet her, and Jin Zhiming also followed her out.
When Zhang Mu saw that it was actually Zhang Yuxin and Jin Zhiming who came out, she frantically put away the missing person notice and said that she was just looking for Zhang Guoguo. Jin Zhiming was very disappointed. Not waiting for the person who brought news of Jin Yibei, Xu Huijie couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Mu might be the one who called. Zhang Yuxin hastily said it was absolutely impossible.
The Jin family, who couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, were all very puzzled. Zhang Yuxin took the opportunity to find Zhang Mu, told her the news that Zhang Guoguo was Jin Yibei, and repeatedly instructed her not to let Zhang Guoguo recognize the Jin family.
At the same time, she stated that if Jin Zhiming checked the surveillance and found that Zhang Mu was the one who made the call, Zhang Mu would be responsible for all consequences. Not letting Zhang Guoguo recognize her family made Zhang Mu feel extremely guilty, especially after learning from Zhang Yuxin that Song Xiuhua was Zhang Guoguo's paternal aunt-in-law, which made her feel even more tormented.
She found Song Xiuhua and recognized Zhang Guoguo from a photo on her desk. Her heart was conflicted and complex, and seeing Zhang Guoguo's consistent affection and closeness towards her made her heart ache even more. Unwilling to give up, Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie took Zhang Yuxin to check the surveillance footage and indeed found that the person who made the call was Zhang Mu. The two decided they must find Zhang Mu and ask for the reason.
Zhang Yuxin called Zhang Mu again, telling her to handle the matter well and not implicate her. Because of Li Hailan's insistence on dating Jiang Zhengchuan last time, Li Yunkai's father personally rushed to her shop and installed a surveillance system despite Li Hailan's objections, under the pretext of understanding her life. However, as he walked out the door, he was almost hit by a car while answering a call.
At the critical moment, Jiang Zhengchuan still rushed out and pushed him aside. Knowing that Li Yunkai's father had a bad impression of him, Jiang Zhengchuan didn't dare to stay long and left in a hurry, but he left his wallet on the roadside, and it was picked up by Li Yunkai's father.
Zhang Mu looked at Le Tong, and then thought of Zhang Guoguo's true identity, afraid that Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie would know that Zhang Guoguo became an unmarried mother because of her. Thinking of these consequences, she finally made up her mind. When Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie found her, she insisted adamantly that the reason she made the call was purely to get revenge on the Jin family, which made Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie very angry.
From being full of hope to being utterly disappointed, Jin Zhiming couldn't help but push Zhang Mu. Zhang Guoguo, who was standing nearby, immediately shielded Zhang Mu. Xu Huijie even paranoically believed that Zhang Guoguo must also be involved in this matter. Zhang Mu, who was already deeply remorseful, seeing Xu Huijie still wanting to wrongly accuse Zhang Guoguo, enraged, she said that it was all her idea alone.
Zhang Guoguo still learned English with Li Yunkai as usual, but today, she was clearly a bit distracted. After asking for the reason, Li Yunkai comforted Zhang Guoguo not to overthink. Although there were so many troublesome things, looking at Li Yunkai, who was by her side, trying hard to comfort her, Zhang Guoguo's mood also improved considerably. Having nowhere to go, Xu Xiaoqin wandered aimlessly around, and directly hung up when she saw Zhang Guoguo's incoming call.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by her creditors on the street. Facing the creditors' relentless pressure, and thinking that Li Yunkai now had someone else in his heart, she blamed Zhang Guoguo for everything. When Zhang Guoguo called her again, she demanded 100,000 yuan from Zhang Guoguo as compensation.
