Go Ahead Episode 10 Recap
> Go Ahead Recap
When Li Haichao woke up and saw He Ziqiu looking at him with concern, he tried to perk up and said he was fine, insisting on getting up to cook for them. But when he got out of bed, he accidentally bumped Li Jianjian’s injury, waking her in pain. She quickly asked if he was okay, and he assured her he was. Seeing her injury made him feel terrible.
After some rest, he returned to the construction site to continue working on the noodle shop. During a break, a woman wearing sunglasses walked in. Li Haichao explained the shop was under renovation, but the woman took off her glasses—it was He Mei. He Mei looked like she was doing well.
She took out a wad of cash and said she had borrowed 10,000 yuan from Li Haichao when He Ziqiu’s grandmother was sick, and now she was paying back 30,000. Li Haichao wasn’t concerned about the money and asked where she had been all these years. He Mei said she had been working at a beauty salon in Shenzhen. The two still had little in common to talk about.
Li Haichao assumed she had come to see He Ziqiu, but He Mei said that wasn’t the reason, nor was she there just to repay the money. She had come because of Zhao Huaguang. Zhao Huaguang had reached out to He Mei through an old colleague and asked for his child. He Mei was aware of what had been happening lately.
She knew Zhao Huaguang was a bully who only picked on the weak, and that Li Haichao, being honest, was no match for him. But Li Haichao firmly stated that even if he had to beg on the streets, as long as He Ziqiu didn’t want it, he would never let Zhao Huaguang take him away. He Mei’s view of Li Haichao changed a little.
She used to think he was weak and easy to push around, but now she saw that he was the one who stepped up when it mattered most. Still, she believed that Zhao Huaguang should take back He Ziqiu. With Li Haichao’s financial situation, it would be impossible for him to send He Ziqiu abroad. She also knew that He Ziqiu felt indebted to the Li family and wouldn’t want to leave.
But she said if Li Haichao truly wanted the best future for He Ziqiu, he should let him go abroad. Whether to persuade He Ziqiu to leave or to stay, it was up to Li Haichao. After saying this, He Mei got up to leave and told him to act like she had never been there. If it was for He Ziqiu’s good, he shouldn’t tell him about her visit.
But Li Haichao said He Ziqiu still wanted to see her. He Mei hesitated, then said she already had a family and her husband didn’t know about He Ziqiu. To her, He Ziqiu was a burden. Li Haichao stopped her and returned the extra money, telling her not to worry about He Ziqiu anymore. In Singapore, Chen Ting was temporarily out of danger but still in the ICU.
Li Jianjian called Ling Xiao and complained that their home seemed to be cursed with hospital visits lately. Ling Xiao asked who was sick. Not wanting him to worry, Li Jianjian quickly said no one, then asked if he could come back before her birthday. Ling Xiao hesitated and said he might be a couple of days late.
Qi Mingyue brought gifts from Jin Yuxiang for both He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao and asked if she could borrow their class notes. Ling Xiao readily agreed. Just as Li Jianjian was about to hang up, Ling Xiao suddenly asked her to act cute for him. She complied, making his mood lighten, although he teased her that it wasn’t convincing.
Back at the hospital, the doctor told them Chen Ting’s worst injury was a spinal nerve injury that had caused paralysis in her lower body. The family should prepare for long-term care. Ling Xiao’s uncle asked if Chen Ting would never walk again. The doctor said not necessarily—many patients could regain independence through long-term therapy, but it would take immense effort from both the patient and family. Upon learning about her condition, Ling Xiao’s uncle argued with Qin Meiyang’s uncle.
The latter wanted Chen Ting’s family to care for her while the Qin family would care for Qin Meiyang. But Ling Xiao’s uncle had a job in China and couldn’t stay in Singapore long-term—only Ling Xiao could look after Chen Ting. The uncle suggested Ling Xiao attend university in Singapore, so he could stay with Chen Ting without delaying his studies. But Ling Xiao was upset.
He felt abandoned by Chen Ting years ago and didn’t think he owed her anything now. After his talk with He Mei, Li Haichao also began considering sending He Ziqiu abroad. Ling Heping was surprised by the change but Li Haichao said it was for He Ziqiu’s future. Ling Heping disagreed and advised him not to tell He Ziqiu for now, but Li Haichao asked him to help convince the boy.
Seeing that Li Haichao was determined, Ling Heping dropped his opposition. When He Ziqiu came home, he brought up the idea of studying abroad himself before Li Haichao could even say anything. This surprised Li Haichao—he had just decided to convince him, but now that He Ziqiu mentioned it first, he couldn’t bear it. He Ziqiu wanted to ease his burden, and Li Haichao wanted to give him a better future.
But it all hinged on letting Zhao Huaguang reclaim him, which was painful for them both. Li Haichao couldn’t hold back his tears, but he still agreed. Li Jianjian didn’t know about He Ziqiu’s decision yet. She happily went out and bought shoes as gifts for He Ziqiu and Ling Xiao. When she returned home, she sensed tension between the two and thought they had quarreled. Li Haichao asked He Ziqiu to tell her.
She thought it was about planning a belated birthday for Ling Xiao. Far away in Singapore, Ling Xiao smiled at the birthday wishes he received from his family. But his uncle saw his smile and got angry. He said he would be returning to China soon and told Ling Xiao to stay with Chen Ting until school started. But Ling Xiao said he would go home in a few days to see Li Jianjian.
His uncle was disappointed in him and scolded him for being cold-blooded. A few days later, Ling Xiao returned home. That night, he told He Ziqiu he would be going to university in Singapore next week and asked him to look after Li Jianjian. He Ziqiu couldn’t help but punch him.
