> Resúmenes de Almost Lover
Xiao Shangqi expressed his gratitude to He Xiaoran for her continuous help and companionship. However, He Xiaoran clarified that her actions were solely driven by her desire to bring the villainous Zhao Mingxuan to justice. Meanwhile, Zhao Mingxuan, informed that Jia Wen's mother, Madam Wang, had become senile in the nursing home, still felt uneasy about Xiao Shangqi trying to reach her. He instructed his subordinate to clean up any potential loose ends and monitor Madam Wang closely.
Zhao Mingxuan also sneered at Xiao Shangqi's continued association with Chen Fei'er, implying Xiao Shangqi had a habit of "collecting rubbish" as Chen Fei'er had returned to Jifeng. Xiao Shangqi prepared to return to Hupu to aid Xiao Xian in their ongoing struggles. Before leaving, he asked He Xiaoran if she would wait for him. She declined, stating she no longer wished to wait for anyone, leaving Xiao Shangqi visibly disappointed.
The following day, He Xiaoran's colleague, Lily, urged her to take her expiring compensatory leave, suggesting she relax and enjoy herself, but He Xiaoran initially resisted. Back at Yunlan, the company was in dire straits, with many employees having resigned. Xiao Xian had sold their building, but it only covered half of the compensation owed. Zhao Mingxuan arrived to gloat, reminding them that this was just the beginning and that they should declare bankruptcy.
He maliciously informed them that he had visited Xiao Zhenyun's grave and burned their IOUs, driving Xiao Xian into a rage. Xiao Shangqi intervened, calming his brother and confronting Zhao Mingxuan with crucial evidence. He played a dashcam video from a passing truck, captured on a newly constructed road initially thought to be free of surveillance. The footage clearly showed Zhao Mingxuan's secretary, Li, abandoning Jia Wen.
Xiao Shangqi explained that such commercial truck footage was regularly backed up to cloud servers, making it retrievable. He then revealed that Jia Wen, anticipating his own fate, had meticulously backed up project data and recorded every illicit transaction. These recordings, found on a memory card hidden within Madam Wang's necklace, exposed Li discussing bribes and shortcuts with Jia Wen.
Xiao Shangqi also uncovered that Zhao Mingxuan had been traveling overseas annually for illegal gambling, using the stolen funds to cover massive debts. He informed Zhao Mingxuan that the police had already verified the evidence against Li, making Zhao Mingxuan the primary culprit. Panicked after receiving a phone call confirming police were raiding Deju, Li immediately turned on Zhao Mingxuan, claiming he orchestrated everything and that she possessed evidence to expose him, declaring her intention to surrender and seek redemption.
Zhao Mingxuan attempted to escape but was blocked by Xiao Shangqi. He desperately tried to manipulate Xiao Shangqi, reminiscing about their shared past and blaming Xiao Zhenyun for his own impulsive actions. He confessed his long-standing envy and hatred for Xiao Shangqi and expressed regret for not having killed him sooner. Grabbing a pen, he lunged at Xiao Shangqi, intending to attack him.
Xiao Xian swiftly intervened, pushing Zhao Mingxuan and creating an opening for Xiao Shangqi to restrain him until the police arrived to take Zhao Mingxuan into custody. He Xiaoran found relief upon hearing the news of Zhao Mingxuan's arrest. Meanwhile, Mr. Gao, impressed by the Xiao brothers' capabilities in bringing down Zhao Mingxuan, decided to entrust the operations of Zhisheng to Yunlan. Sui Mingwei urgently informed Li Hui that her producer, Zheng Jie, had betrayed her.
He had stolen almost all of her original songs, giving them to Tang Yan, and then disappeared, leaving Li Hui with only a single track released. Li Hui was devastated, feeling that her songs were her entire life. She was particularly hurt by what she perceived as Sui Mingwei's lack of faith in her musical talent, which made the betrayal even more painful. The next day, Sui Mingwei accompanied Li Hui to consult a lawyer about her contract.
They learned that the contract contained numerous unfavorable clauses, making it nearly impossible to reclaim the copyrights to her songs. Furthermore, breaching the contract would incur a hefty penalty of 500,000 RMB, and any litigation would be lengthy and uncertain. Despite the challenges, Li Hui was determined to sue. She decided to use her personal savings and sell her musical equipment to fund the lawsuit, vowing to fight for justice.
Sui Mingwei stood by her, helping her sell her prized records and equipment. He even bought her guitar, insisting it was a gift, and reassured her that she possessed an inner glow that would guarantee her success. His unwavering belief reignited Li Hui's hope for the future. Meanwhile, He Xiaoran, having borrowed Lily's car, tracked Tang Yan to an original music sharing session at Mountain Linglong. She spotted Zheng Jie and Tang Yan meeting beforehand.
At the event, Tang Yan presented "Greetings At Dawn," a song he claimed was his own, portraying it as a romantic piece born from a painful relationship. He Xiaoran, recording his performance, publicly challenged his interpretation, revealing that "Greetings At Dawn" actually referred to Li'an Port in Lingshui, Hainan, a place significant to Li Hui's family after her parents' divorce.
She exposed that the song was not about love but a tribute to Li Hui's estranged father, whom she hadn't seen in a decade. He Xiaoran highlighted the lyrics depicting a fishing port, coconut trees, and paddy fields, proving that only the original author, Li Hui, would know these specific details. Unable to explain himself, Tang Yan quickly left the stage amidst the audience's shock and accusations of plagiarism.
Later, Chen Fei'er was happily playing with Taiyang when Lin Zong returned home. The heartwarming scene filled Lin Zong with comfort. He revealed he knew she had been going to the garden corridor at night. Chen Fei'er then expressed gratitude for the corridor lights, which she realized Lin Zong had been keeping on, as they provided solace during her anxious wait for justice.
Chen Fei'er confessed her relief but expressed a sense of irreversible loss, feeling she could not return to her past life. Lin Zong reassured her, illustrating with his hand that her life was still in its early stages, with a long and fulfilling future ahead, free to live as she desired.
