He Mei returned to the beauty salon. Luo Hong came as well after learning that Dongdong had gone missing. Later, they found out that a kind-hearted person had taken Dongdong to the police station. However, the police required He Mei to bring a guardian’s ID to pick up Dongdong. This troubled He Mei. She suddenly remembered that Ling Heping was a police officer, so she called Li Haichao to ask for help.
With Ling Heping’s assistance, He Mei was able to bring Dongdong back. It was only then that Ling Heping and Li Haichao learned that Dongdong was not He Mei’s son, but rather the child of a salon employee from when He Mei was a manager at a salon in Shenzhen. Dongdong’s mother had endured domestic violence for years for the sake of her child. During one altercation, she stabbed her husband to death.
The court ruled it as excessive self-defense and sentenced her to four years. She is due for release this year. He Mei had already spoken with Dongdong’s mother and promised to hire her once she’s out. Ling Heping and Li Haichao were moved by the story. At that moment, Dongdong, who never spoke, suddenly opened his mouth and repeatedly said “dog.” Li Haichao immediately understood that Dongdong wanted to play with the dog He Ziqiu had rescued last time.
The dog had been given to the supermarket at the entrance and was named Xuedan. After returning home, Li Haichao told the supermarket owner about Dongdong’s situation, and the owner agreed to let He Mei take Xuedan. He Mei was very grateful to Li Haichao and also felt she had troubled him. Li Haichao, curious, asked He Mei if she had remarried. He Mei replied that she was still single.
Li Haichao then asked why she had hidden this from them, noting that He Ziqiu had been very hurt upon learning that He Mei had remarried. He Mei explained that she had made a promise: since Li Haichao had raised He Ziqiu, then He Ziqiu was his son, and she would never try to reclaim him. A promise was a promise—this was her principle.
Li Haichao grew upset, saying that she had also promised to return for He Ziqiu but failed to keep it. The comment hit a nerve with He Mei, and she couldn’t hold back her tears. Seeing her cry made Li Haichao feel terrible, so he quickly offered some comfort. Ling Xiao spent the whole afternoon accompanying Chen Ting and Qin Meiyang shopping. He returned home exhausted in the evening.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Jianjian squatting by his bed greeting him. Li Jianjian had sneaked over, worried that Ling Xiao wouldn’t be able to sleep, and wanted to keep him company. Ling Xiao appreciated her concern but told her that he had to take Chen Ting and the others to Gulangyu Island early the next morning.
He also pointed out that it wouldn’t be good if Li Haichao found out about this, so he asked her to go home. The next morning, Ling Xiao saw a gift box on his desk. Upon opening it, he found it was a birthday present from Li Jianjian. Overjoyed, he immediately changed into the new shoes. Early in the morning, Qi Mingyue went to the airport to pick up her father who was returning from a business trip.
Her father didn’t look well and went with her directly to meet Jin Yuxiang. Jin Yuxiang brought up the idea of buying a house for Qi Mingyue. Her father firmly opposed selling everything just to buy a house. Qi Mingyue also chimed in. However, Jin Yuxiang insisted on helping Qi Mingyue solve the biggest pressure in her life. Qi Mingyue felt a headache—her biggest source of stress was Jin Yuxiang.
Though she still had her reason and didn’t voice such hurtful words, Jin Yuxiang and her father’s argument escalated. Jin Yuxiang even said she’d divorce if they didn’t buy the house. Her father, equally angry, said that if Jin Yuxiang insisted, then they’d divorce. He got up and left. Qi Mingyue blamed Jin Yuxiang for going too far, but Jin Yuxiang didn’t think she was wrong.
After Tang Can started working at the museum, her relationship with her parents began to improve. During lunch break, she had a meal with her parents. Her mother was very pleased with the change and started suggesting that Tang Can take the civil service exam next year. Tang’s mother recalled how Tang Can had earned two apartments and a car for the family when she was an actress. Now, with their small supermarket doing well, they had enough to spend.
She said Tang Can had already given them a good life, and as long as Tang Can’s life became stable, they would be at ease. Qin Meiyang went to He Ziqiu’s shop to pick up Ling Xiao’s birthday cake and even asked how much it cost. He Ziqiu found it odd and said the cake was free—he had made it for Ling Xiao.
Qin Meiyang said Chen Ting had told her that if He Ziqiu refused to accept money, she should just leave it anyway. She slapped a wad of cash on the table and left. Staring at the money, He Ziqiu felt upset and didn’t even attend Ling Xiao’s birthday party that night. That evening, Chen Ting hosted a banquet at a hotel.
When the others learned that she had paid He Ziqiu for the cake, they all looked uncomfortable, though none said anything. Chen Ting stood up to toast Li Haichao, ostensibly to thank him for raising Ling Xiao, but she passive-aggressively reminded him that Ling Xiao was not his biological son. The dinner left everyone in a foul mood. Later, in the restroom, Li Jianjian ran into Qin Meiyang. Qin Meiyang asked if she was dating Ling Xiao.
After getting a confirmation, she bluntly said the relationship was pointless because both she and Chen Ting didn’t like her. Li Jianjian didn’t get angry and said she didn’t care. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Qin Meiyang didn’t bother continuing the conversation. After the meal, Ling Xiao sent Chen Ting and the others back. Meanwhile, Li Haichao and Li Jianjian waited outside for Ling Heping to bring the car. After a while, Li Jianjian suddenly said that He Ziqiu told her to hurry home, so she went off on her own to catch a taxi.
