Because of You Episode 26 Recap
> Because of You Recap
Zhang's mother told Zhang Yuxin that Zhang Guoguo had discovered her taking photos. Selfish Zhang Yuxin's first thought was not what would happen to Zhang's mother, but whether she herself would be expelled from Jinlü Pavilion. This kind of Zhang Yuxin made Zhang's mother feel extremely distressed. Zhang Guoguo came to Jinlü Pavilion and, in front of everyone, accused Zhang Yuxin of swapping Dong Lijun's dress.
She also produced the records of them taking photos and chatting, but Zhang Yuxin once again turned on Zhang's mother. Just as the two were arguing incessantly, Zhang's mother suddenly appeared and proactively admitted to Dong Lijun that she was the one who gave Zhang Guoguo's qipao to Zhang Yuxin.
Her action greatly surprised Jin Zhiming, especially since they had witnessed firsthand that Zhang's mother and Zhang Yuxin's relationship was like fire and water; how could she possibly have given Zhang Yuxin the qipao? But then, Zhang's mother took out the dress that Dong Lijun and Zhang Guoguo had made for Wang Meiyin, stating that Zhang Yuxin had given it to her to hide. By now, there was nothing left for everyone to misunderstand.
Dong Lijun and Jin Zhiming only wanted to know if Xu Huijie was aware of this matter. Facing their questioning gazes, Xu Huijie naturally would not admit it. Zhang Yuxin also stated at this point that this matter was solely her doing, while simultaneously blaming Dong Lijun for being too partial. Dong Lijun no longer wanted to listen to her nonsense and announced that Zhang Guoguo would return to Jinlü Pavilion, and that she intended to re-elect the head embroiderer.
Zhang's mother watched Zhang Yuxin actually acknowledge a malicious woman like Xu Huijie as her mother, which made her angry at her lack of ambition. But the misguided Zhang Yuxin stated that she would definitely help Xu Huijie secure her position as head embroiderer. There was no need for further words when they couldn't agree. Zhang Guoguo took out a recording. Hearing her own voice, Zhang Yuxin immediately changed her expression and tried to snatch it.
However, Zhang Guoguo stated that Li Yunkai had already given the recording to his father. Li Yunzhe brought He Juan to the jewelry store. He Juan was overjoyed, thinking Li Yunzhe intended to buy jewelry for her. However, Li Yunzhe mentioned that he planned to buy it for Zhang Yuxin for a marriage proposal, which instantly made He Juan's mood plummet.
At this moment, Li Yunzhe received a call from Zhang Yuxin, learning that Li Yunkai had given the recording to Li Haisong. Li Yunzhe rushed to Li Haisong's office. Knowing that one of his sons had conspired with a woman to frame his other son, Li Haisong was furious. Li Yunkai seized the opportunity to suggest that Li Yunzhe and Zhang Yuxin break up. The two brothers then engaged in another heated argument.
Seeing such sons, Li Haisong directly kicked them all out. Li Yunzhe questioned Li Yunkai if he wanted to return to the company. Li Yunkai was well aware of his hidden motives. Originally, Li Yunkai did not want to inherit the family business, but seeing Li Yunzhe being so unscrupulous, he could not allow the Li family's assets to decline in this manner.
Zhang Yuxin was in Li Yunzhe's office when Lu Sichen happened to enter, holding a diamond ring to propose to Zhang Yuxin. Zhang Yuxin naturally refused, swatting away the diamond ring in Lu Sichen's hand and insulting him. Lu Sichen mocked Zhang Yuxin, saying that lies would always be exposed. Furious, Zhang Yuxin raised her hand to hit Lu Sichen but was stopped. Just then, Li Yunzhe pushed the door open.
Zhang Yuxin was a bit awkward, unsure how to explain, but Lu Sichen stepped forward and proactively admitted the transgression. Li Yunzhe hugged Zhang Yuxin, reminding her of their evening date. However, Zhang Yuxin accidentally discovered an envelope with her name written on it. Realizing something was amiss, she used the excuse that the envelope was for the design department and quickly left with it.
In the stairwell of the corridor, Zhang Yuxin opened the envelope and found it was her past pregnancy test report. Just then, Lu Sichen appeared and proposed to her: either give up everything that didn't belong to her, or wait for Li Yunzhe to know everything. Song Xiuhua received a call saying that the DNA test results for Zhang Guoguo, which she had sent in earlier, were ready.
At this moment, Zhang's mother happened to overhear from outside the door, and she actually felt some guilt. Previously, she had noticed Song Xiuhua seemed to be looking for Zhang Guoguo's toothbrush and guessed that she might want to do a DNA test for Zhang Guoguo to find her parents. So, she secretly swapped the toothbrush and also took away all of Zhang Guoguo's childhood photos. She had already lost one daughter and could not lose Zhang Guoguo again.
Song Xiuhua brought Zhang Guoguo to the testing center and was indeed told that the DNA results could not be matched. In truth, Zhang Guoguo felt somewhat disappointed. She had thought she could finally find out who her biological parents were, but unexpectedly gained nothing. Seeing Zhang Guoguo, who was clearly disappointed but still forcing a smile, Song Xiuhua felt very guilty.
Li Haisong now kept Li Hailan under extremely strict watch, even arranging fixed pick-up and drop-off times for her commute. Reluctantly, Li Hailan was put into a taxi by He Juan, only to discover that Jiang Zhengchuan was the driver. In order to be openly with Li Hailan, Jiang Zhengchuan decided to meet Li Haisong himself. Jiang Zhengchuan personally called Li Haisong, identifying himself as the person who saved him last time, and expressed a wish to meet him.
Li Haisong readily agreed. When he arrived at Li Hailan's shop and learned that the person who saved him was Jiang Zhengchuan, he found it completely unacceptable, especially when Jiang Zhengchuan proposed dating Li Hailan. Li Haisong adamantly insisted that the two must break up completely. He Juan came to Jinlü Pavilion to find Xu Huijie, but unexpectedly ran into Zhang Yuxin. Zhang Yuxin, who was determined to marry Li Yunzhe, naturally treated He Juan with great enthusiasm.
However, He Juan clearly told her that while Li Yunzhe could fool around with her, marrying into the Li family was absolutely impossible. He Juan explained her purpose to Xu Huijie, asking Xu Huijie to persuade Zhang Yuxin to give up voluntarily. However, for Xu Huijie, Zhang Yuxin and Li Yunzhe's marriage also concerned her position as head embroiderer, so she certainly would not persuade Zhang Yuxin to give up.
To make He Juan comply, Xu Huijie even threatened her with the matter of Li Yunkai's mother's death back then, forcing her to agree to the marriage. However, this conversation was overheard by Zhang Yuxin, who was hiding outside the door. He Juan returned home restless, recalling past events.
She didn't know that Li Yunkai's mother would suddenly return to that supermarket and discover the ring in her hand, nor did she imagine that Li Yunkai's mother would be hit and killed in a daze after learning she was Li Haisong's ex-wife. What made her even more terrified now was that Xu Huijie was actually at the scene at that time.
She couldn't imagine how Li Haisong would treat her if he found out that Li Yunkai's mother's death was related to her. Deep in thought, she didn't even notice that Li Haisong had already returned. Because of Zhang Yuxin, Li Haisong was uncharacteristically firm this time, strongly opposing Li Yunzhe marrying her. He Juan tentatively suggested agreeing to their marriage, but was questioned by Li Haisong, who became suspicious of her sudden change of decision. Li Yunzhe brought Zhang Yuxin to the place where Zhang Yuxin had confessed her feelings to him, took out a ring, knelt on one knee, and proposed to Zhang Yuxin.
