Forever Love Episode 19 Recap
> Forever Love Recap
Without Xia Linxi's knowledge, Xia Linxi's mother invited Qin Yue's whole family to their home for the New Year. To make Qin Yue's parents dislike her, Xia Linxi deliberately behaved rudely at the dinner table, sometimes grabbing food with her hands, sometimes eating loudly, and even proactively drinking alcohol. This made Xia Linxi's mother especially embarrassed, and Xia Linxi's father also helped smooth things over for Xia Linxi. Everyone felt very awkward.
Xia Linxi's mother kept trying to explain for Xia Linxi, but it was also hard to criticize her in front of Qin Yue's parents. Qin Yue and his parents also felt the atmosphere was strange. Qin Yue knew Xia Linxi was doing it on purpose. Qin Yue's mother asked if Linxi had any hobbies, and Xia Linxi deliberately said her hobbies were forced on her by Xia Linxi's mother.
On the way home after dinner, Qin Yue's mother told Qin Yue that she didn't like Xia Linxi very much and hoped Qin Yue would quickly cut ties with her.
Qin Yue's father understood clearly that Linxi's attitude showed she didn't like his son, but he still hoped Qin Yue and Xia Linxi could maintain a good relationship because the company currently lacked funds and needed financing, and Xia Linxi's mother happened to be in financing at another company, so it would be good to have her as an ally.
Qin Yue said that he genuinely liked Xia Linxi, but Qin Yue's father told him to solve the company's difficulties first before considering matters of love. Xia Linxi was unhappy with this 'feast at Hong Gate' situation. She deliberately said she wanted to buy white wine and go out for some air, knowing Xia Linxi's mother would definitely be displeased. Jiang Zhenghan called to check on her, and they agreed to meet at an internet cafe.
Xia Linxi told Jiang Zhenghan what had happened at home, feeling very wronged and saying she hadn't eaten enough to cope with the 'feast at Hong Gate'. Jiang Zhenghan used the excuse of taking Xia Linxi to eat and deliberately took Xia Linxi home to meet his parents. Xia Linxi was very nervous because it happened suddenly, and she felt rude without having prepared a gift. She was also worried that her behavior might displease Jiang Zhenghan's parents.
Jiang Zhenghan comforted her, saying that as long as she was the person he liked, his parents would like her too. During the meal, Jiang Zhenghan's mother cooked many dishes that Xia Linxi liked, and Jiang Zhenghan's father also warmly welcomed Xia Linxi's arrival. They had prepared in advance. Jiang Zhenghan's mother had heard Jiang Zhenghan talk about Xia Linxi all along, which touched Xia Linxi very much.
It turned out that Jiang Zhenghan had always paid attention to these details; he loved everything about Xia Linxi. Jiang Zhenghan's mother especially liked Xia Linxi and wanted to give her the family heirloom jade bracelet. But Xia Linxi felt the jade bracelet was too valuable and didn't accept it. Jiang Zhenghan's mother said she was too hasty and hoped Xia Linxi would come visit often.
Jiang Zhenghan walked Xia Linxi home and told her about previous events in his family, also mentioning the jade bracelet. He said that even during the most difficult times for his family, they didn't sell it because it was meant to be given to his future daughter-in-law. Xia Linxi was very happy to hear this, and the two shared a sweet embrace.
When Xia Linxi returned home, she saw Xia Linxi's mother folding clothes and thought she was angry and leaving home. Xia Linxi's mother had important company matters to attend to and didn't have time to manage Xia Linxi. She told her to reflect properly at home and said she would video call frequently to check up on her.
Chen Yichuan's family came to Xia Linxi's home, worried she couldn't spend the New Year alone, and brought her a lot of food. Chen Yichuan talked to Xia Linxi and unintentionally mentioned her failing a course. Xia Linxi told Chen Yichuan to keep his voice down, saying it would be terrible if her aunt heard, but her aunt had already heard, only Xia Linxi hadn't noticed.
After Chen Yichuan's family left, Xia Linxi stayed at home by herself during the New Year holidays. Chen Yichuan told Jiang Zhenghan about this. Jiang Zhenghan bought fireworks and came to Xia Linxi's doorstep to spend the New Year with her and even made her dumplings to eat. At this moment, Xia Linxi's father returned. He couldn't open the door and kept shouting Xia Linxi's name.
Xia Linxi quickly told Jiang Zhenghan to hide in her room, but Xia Linxi's father still found out. He saw a strange man's coat on a chair, but it wasn't Linxi's uncle's nor Chen Yichuan's. He even thought Xia Linxi's mother was having an affair, which made him very sad. Seeing this situation, Jiang Zhenghan went downstairs and voluntarily confessed to Xia Linxi's father, which finally made Xia Linxi's father breathe a sigh of relief. Jiang Zhenghan said he was Xia Linxi's boyfriend and had previously worked as a tutor at their home. Xia Linxi's father recognized Jiang Zhenghan.
