Because of You Episode 21 Recap
> Because of You Recap
A frantic Xu Xiaoqin forced Zhang Guoguo to give her 100,000 within an hour, or she would commit suicide. Having bought sleeping pills, she sat in Zhang Guoguo's home, hopefully waiting for Zhang Guoguo to bring the 100,000, but she knew that if Zhang Guoguo refused to find Li Yunkai, she would never get the money. While hesitating, her creditor sent over photos of her being humiliated. Deciding to go all the way, she directly swallowed the sleeping pills.
Zhang Yuxin came to find Zhang Mu, repeatedly reiterating that Zhang Mu should cooperate with her to prevent Zhang Guoguo from returning to Jinlüge. Zhang Mu, who was still wavering, finally decided to cooperate under the repeated requests of her own biological daughter. Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Xu Xiaoqin. She walked out to question them, but fainted due to the onset of the medicine's effects. Zhang Guoguo returned home.
The guilty Zhang Mu dared not say much about Xu Xiaoqin, only saying that she had come and left in a hurry. Zhang Guoguo, unsuspecting of anything, then directly rushed to Jinlüge. Inside the dyeing workshop, she was tidying up the dyed cloths that had been messed up by the wind. Li Yunkai secretly came up behind her. While playing around, Li Yunkai fell into the dye vat again. This scene felt incredibly familiar to Zhang Guoguo.
She seemed to feel that sometime in the past, the same situation had occurred. In fact, Li Yunkai also felt it was familiar, but the carefree him had never connected Zhang Guoguo with Jin Yibei. Jin Zhiming and Dong Lijun found Li Yunkai to consult him about suing Zhang Mu. Because of Zhang Guoguo, Li Yunkai advised them not to do so lightly.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxin stopped Zhang Guoguo, feigning pity and begging her not to come to Jinlüge again and disturb the lives of Jin Zhiming and his wife. In fact, all of this was just an act Zhang Yuxin put on for Xu Huijie. Hearing her words, Xu Huijie was incredibly touched and immediately declared that Zhang Yuxin was her daughter.
Jin Zhiming also stated at the same time that they should quickly hold a grand banquet to acknowledge Zhang Yuxin's status. Dong Lijun found Zhang Guoguo, told her about Zhang Mu's previous actions, and suggested that Zhang Guoguo leave Jinlüge. Knowing these things, Zhang Guoguo felt very guilty. She hurried home, but Zhang Mu tearfully told Zhang Guoguo that she had been sued by Jinlüge. Zhang Guoguo, worried about Zhang Mu, found Li Yunkai and asked for his help.
Li Yunkai brought Zhang Guoguo and her mother to Jinlüge. Facing Zhang Mu and Zhang Guoguo's repeated assurances, Xu Huijie remained unmoved. Even though both knelt before her, it still couldn't make Xu Huijie change her decision. In the end, it was Li Yunkai's repeated guarantee that made Dong Lijun finally express forgiveness. Zhang Yuxin seized the opportunity to propose that Zhang Guoguo should not be allowed to come to Jinlüge again, and Xu Huijie naturally agreed.
For Zhang Mu's sake, Zhang Guoguo agreed to their request. Before leaving, Zhang Guoguo expressed her gratitude to Dong Lijun. Zhang Mu, who was feeling sad inside, also meaningfully wished Zhang Yuxin to get the life she wanted. Zhang Mu felt guilty and proactively suggested cooking something delicious for Li Yunkai, but at this moment, Li Yunkai's mind was not on eating.
He promised Zhang Guoguo that he would do everything possible to help Zhang Guoguo return to Jinlüge, and asked her to wait patiently for a while longer. Zhang Mu also felt very uneasy inside. Her own daughter watched her kneel before others, yet only thought about how to become someone else's daughter. Feeling sad, she just wanted to be alone for a while. When Dong Lijun and Xu Huijie thought of Jin Yibei, they couldn't help but shed tears.
At this moment, Zhang Yuxin feigned surprise, saying that she had already inquired about Jin Yibei's whereabouts. The Jin family, unaware of the truth, hopefully followed Zhang Yuxin to find the so-called Jin Yibei, but it was actually Xu Xiaoqin impersonating her. It turned out that after Xu Xiaoqin took the sleeping pills and was rescued by Zhang Yuxin earlier, the two reached an agreement for her to impersonate Jin Yibei.
Jin Zhiming, Xu Huijie, and Dong Lijun, afraid of being disappointed again, stood nervously at the corridor entrance, feeling a bit lost. Xu Xiaoqin, holding the doll wrist bag stolen from Zhang Guoguo, suddenly appeared before them. Seeing this wrist bag, Xu Huijie could no longer suppress her emotions and excitedly hugged Xu Xiaoqin. After not seeing her for many years, they were all eager to know Xu Xiaoqin's recent situation over the years.
But after all, she wasn't the real Jin Yibei, so Xu Xiaoqin's answers were very ambiguous. However, Xu Huijie, whose eyes were already blinded by emotion, didn't realize these things. She excitedly introduced everyone in the room one by one to Xu Xiaoqin, and then left with Zhang Yuxin and Xu Xiaoqin. Only Jin Zhiming and Dong Lijun were left in the room.
Regarding this Jin Yibei who had been missing for over a decade and suddenly appeared, Dong Lijun had reservations and told Jin Zhiming about her concerns. After much thought, Jin Zhiming decided to agree to Dong Lijun's suggestion to find an opportunity to do a paternity test to confirm the identity. Since Li Yunkai's father installed surveillance cameras in Li Hailan's store, he has been constantly monitoring her.
Once he noticed anything amiss, he would call to question what was going on. The helpless Jiang Zhengchuan, in order to see Li Hailan, could only dress up as a cartoon bear. Even so, Li Yunkai's father was still a hundred percent uneasy. Jin Zhiming and Xu Huijie took Xu Xiaoqin and Zhang Yuxin to do a paternity test, and the result surprisingly proved that Xu Xiaoqin was their daughter.
The two were very excited and repeatedly promised that they would treat Xu Xiaoqin well in the future. In fact, Zhang Yuxin had already obtained Zhang Guoguo's DNA as early as when she decided to pull a switch, so this so-called paternity test now naturally wouldn't reveal the truth. After confirming Xu Xiaoqin's identity, Dong Lijun was extremely excited and hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go. Xu Xiaoqin, with a guilty conscience, was somewhat unsure how to face them.
Thinking of Zhang Yuxin's previous suggestion, she took the opportunity to propose giving her adoptive parents a sum of money, which was actually for paying off her own debts. Xu Huijie, without much thought, immediately took out a card and gave it to Xu Xiaoqin. Zhang Yuxin warned Xu Xiaoqin that her current wealthy life was all given by her, so Xu Xiaoqin had better be obedient.
However, Xu Xiaoqin was very nervous, wanting to leave the Jin family after getting the money. Zhang Yuxin naturally wouldn't allow such a situation to happen. She simultaneously enticed Xu Xiaoqin to become Jin Yibei so she could marry Li Yunkai, and threatened Xu Xiaoqin that taking the money and leaving would lead to her being accused of fraud and imprisoned. Li Yunkai and Zhang Guoguo came to Li Hailan's store.
It turned out that because of Li Yunkai's father installing surveillance cameras, Li Hailan wanted Li Yunkai to help. However, because earlier, of the unpleasantness between Li Yunkai and Jiang Zhengchuan, Li Yunkai also opposed their relationship. Li Hailan then played her trump card, stating that as long as Li Yunkai was willing to help her and Jiang Zhengchuan this time, she would also help Li Yunkai and Zhang Guoguo in the future.
After some thought, the aunt and nephew happily reached an agreement. At this moment, Li Yunkai received a phone call, learning that Jin Yibei had been found. This made him very happy. Li Yunkai told Zhang Guoguo the news, allowing her to share in his joy. At this point, he probably still couldn't imagine that the so-called Jin Yibei was Xu Xiaoqin.
