Encounter with You Episode 34 Recap
> Encounter with You Recap
Wan Xinxin earnestly implored Hua Ming to perform the critical surgery for Qin's mother. Director Chen confirmed Hua Ming's expertise, stating he was the only one capable of saving her. Hua Ming initially expressed hesitation, acknowledging Mrs. Qin's extensive help to others but citing his current unsuitability for surgery. Wan Xinxin persisted, conveying her unwavering belief in his ability.
Director Chen then revealed that he had already arranged for Professor Wei to provide remote guidance via video call during the operation, with Hua Ming leading the surgical team. However, Professor Wei later called Hua Ming directly, explaining an urgent situation prevented his physical presence and that Hua Ming would have to proceed on his own. Hua Ming accepted the challenge and instructed his team to prepare, while Wan Xinxin expressed her gratitude.
Qin Gang was astonished to learn that Hua Ming, whom he believed to be a veterinarian, was the lead surgeon. Other medical experts present praised Hua Ming as a "god" in their field, remarking on his extraordinary return to lead such a complex surgery after three years. Qin Gang, bewildered, was assured that Hua Ming was the only one who could save his mother in her critical condition.
As Mrs. Qin was wheeled into the operating room, Qin Gang, Wan Xinxin, and Liu Wei waited anxiously outside. Inside the operating room, Hua Ming meticulously guided the surgical team through the procedure, carefully monitoring vital signs. Outside, Wan Xinxin was consumed with worry for Mrs. Qin, but Liu Wei harbored malicious intentions. She provocatively asked Wan Xinxin about property division, despite Mrs. Qin still being in surgery. Wan Xinxin rebuked her for such insensitivity.
Liu Wei, feigning concern for Qin Gang's financial security, then launched into a tirade of envy, criticizing Wan Xinxin's seemingly perfect life – her potential inheritance, Hua Ming's devotion to opening an art gallery for her, and his unwavering love despite her being a divorced mother. Wan Xinxin tried to dismiss her, but Liu Wei, fueled by jealousy, pressed on, suggesting that Hua Ming was not who she thought he was.
She venomously advised Wan Xinxin to re-examine her father's death certificate, hinting at a shocking revelation. Disturbed by Liu Wei's words, Wan Xinxin rushed home and retrieved her father's death certificate. To her horror, Hua Ming's name was clearly listed as the attending physician. The devastating truth that Hua Ming was the doctor whose delayed intervention had tragically led to her father's passing left her utterly paralyzed with shock. Disoriented and grief-stricken, she returned to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Hua Ming successfully completed Mrs. Qin's high-difficulty surgery, with the team celebrating the triumph and Director Chen welcoming him back to the neurosurgery field. Outside, Qin Gang joyfully announced his mother's successful surgery to everyone present. Hua Ming, visibly fatigued, emerged from the operating room. Not far away, Wan Xinxin stared at him, her eyes burning with rage. She strode directly to him, slapped him forcefully across the face, and then threw her father's death certificate at him. "
Did you know all along?" she demanded, "Why did you hide it from me? Do you pity me?" Overwhelmed by anguish, she questioned his identity and why it had to be him. A bystander attempted to intervene, reminding them they were in a hospital, as Hua Ming grasped that Wan Xinxin had uncovered the painful truth.
Hua Ming tried desperately to reach Wan Xinxin, calling her and pleading for a meeting, but she refused to answer or see him, leaving him in profound agony. Doctors confirmed Mrs. Qin's stable vital signs, expecting her to awaken within 24 hours. Hua Ming informed Qin Gang that his mother's life could be extended by three to five years, but emphasized the critical need to avoid any emotional distress, as it could be fatal.
Later, in a video conference, Professor Wei and Director Chen lauded Hua Ming's surgical prowess, noting his full recovery and suggesting he had even surpassed his previous capabilities. Professor Wei invited Hua Ming to join his team in America for research, a proposition Director Chen jokingly opposed. Hua Ming, feeling his future was being decided for him, found himself caught between his mentors. Shortly thereafter, Qin Gang excitedly reported that his mother was awake.
Mrs. Qin, albeit weak, confronted Hua Ming about breaking his promise not to return to China. Hua Ming explained that Professor Wei had assembled a specialist team for her treatment, determining Hua Ming was the best candidate, prompting his return. He added that as she had generously helped many, she deserved their help in return.
Understanding Hua Ming's character, Mrs. Qin then made a poignant request: that Hua Ming would extend help to Qin Gang should he ever face difficulties or be unable to cope. Hua Ming readily promised his assistance. He then candidly informed Mrs. Qin that her condition was incurable, and the surgery merely aimed to extend her life, a truth she calmly accepted, having never expected a complete cure.
Despite Qin Gang's persistent efforts to prevent Liu Wei from entering Mrs. Qin's room, fearing she might cause undue stress, Liu Wei insisted, driven by her eagerness to ascertain the family's asset distribution. She dismissed Hua Ming's medical advice as coming from a "vet." Inside, Liu Wei offered insincere well wishes to Mrs. Qin. However, Mrs. Qin quickly cut her short, declaring her clear wishes regarding the family assets.
She stated that the family villa and the 4S car dealership would go to Qin Gang, while all remaining assets would be left to her grandson, Xiaobao. Until Xiaobao reached adulthood, Wan Xinxin would manage these assets. Both Qin Gang and Liu Wei reacted with strong indignation. Qin Gang questioned his mother's decision, implying distrust, while Liu Wei outright deemed it inappropriate. Mrs. Qin firmly stated that she was informing them, not consulting them.
As they left, Liu Wei spitefully "congratulated" Wan Xinxin, then, in a desperate plea, offered Wan Xinxin a large sum of money to decline the management of the assets. Wan Xinxin, seeing through Liu Wei's manipulations, calmly retorted that she was merely there to visit Mrs. Qin and had no ulterior motives.
Mrs. Qin then engaged Wan Xinxin and Qin Gang in a conversation, expressing her deepest wish for them to raise their child together, though she conceded their remarriage seemed unlikely. Wan Xinxin reassured her that the baby would be raised happily, leaving her relationship with Qin Gang to fate.
Mrs. Qin, however, probed further, asking if Wan Xinxin hated Qin Gang, to which she replied no. Mrs. Qin then asked if Wan Xinxin hated or could forgive Hua Ming, subtly guiding her to consider Qin Gang again. She reminded Wan Xinxin that Hua Ming was the one who hurt her father, causing Wan Xinxin to ask her to stop. Mrs. Qin apologized, attributing her bluntness to her post-surgery state. Wan Xinxin promised to visit again soon with her grandson.
Wan Xinxin later contacted Xu Ke, meeting him at the gallery. She poured out her heart, revealing Hua Ming's role in her father's death due to delayed treatment. Xu Ke was momentarily stunned. After recovering, he rationally argued that Hua Ming was not the type to abandon a patient, suggesting there must be a deeper reason behind the incident. He urged Wan Xinxin to grant Hua Ming an opportunity to explain himself, despite her initial resistance to any "chance."
Xu Ke then decided to seek out Hua Ming. Xu Ke met with Hua Ming, informing him that Wan Xinxin had disclosed everything and, while she understood him, she couldn't face him. Xu Ke emphasized his role as a mutual friend, highlighting the depth of their relationship and his belief in their love, which was why he returned from his honeymoon.
He promised to do his utmost to arrange a meeting between Wan Xinxin and Hua Ming, but cautioned that how Hua Ming explained himself would be entirely his responsibility, as no one else could truly help him in this situation. Later, Xu Ke visited Mrs. Qin in the hospital.
He introduced himself as Wan Xinxin's close friend and directly posed a thoughtful question: if Wan Xinxin were her biological daughter, would she prefer her to be with Qin Gang or Hua Ming? He explained that Wan Xinxin was unwilling to let Hua Ming explain, and he, as her best friend, couldn't persuade her.
He acknowledged Mrs. Qin's desire for Wan Xinxin and Qin Gang to reconcile, but urged her to consider what Wan Xinxin's parents would want for her future. After Xu Ke left, Mrs. Qin was left in deep contemplation.
