> Here to Heart Recap
Zhan Nanxian called Wen Nuan to his office and directly asked if Yi Xin's father had contacted Wen Nuan, and how Wen Nuan had responded. Seeing Nanxian so serious, Wen Nuan truthfully recounted the entire story. Zhan Nanxian looked helpless; the outside world believed Yi Xin's father lived overseas. Now, regardless of the truth, he only hoped Wen Nuan could keep this secret. Wen Nuan pondered for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly, agreeing to Nanxian's request.
On the other side, Yi Xin wore sunglasses and secretly went to the hospital, wanting to find out which ward her father was in. However, she didn't realize someone had been secretly following her. Yi Xin quietly approached her father's bedside. Her father was naturally very happy to see his daughter and also felt guilty for the terrible things he had done in the past. Knowing his life wouldn't be long, he sincerely apologized to Yi Xin.
Yi Xin turned away to wipe her tears. Her mother was no longer alive, what good was this belated apology? Moreover, when her mother was seriously ill back then, her father only knew how to drink and gamble; otherwise, her mother wouldn't have passed away so early. Yi Xin composed herself and clearly told her father that she had publicly stated her parents worked overseas, hoping for his understanding.
Surprisingly, Yi Xin's father didn't make things difficult for his daughter but supported her decision. Tears streamed down his face; he only wanted his daughter's forgiveness. Blood is thicker than water, and Yi Xin couldn't bear it. She held her father's aged hand and said she had forgiven him, and would do her best to treat his illness. Yi Xin walked out of the hospital, surprised to find herself surrounded by reporters.
The reporters chattered noisily, questioning whether Yi Xin had fabricated her background to deceive everyone. Yi Xin was unable to defend herself and was in a very embarrassing situation. Zhan Nanxian learned of the matter from the news and rushed to the scene, decisively taking Yi Xin away. That night, Yi Xin finally told Zhan Nanxian the truth. She had deliberately concealed her background to package a perfect lie.
Zhan Nanxian didn't want to put any more pressure on Yi Xin. He was willing to handle the media issue and encouraged Yi Xin to pull herself together and bravely face the storm. Yi Xin gradually choked up, recalling the tumultuous past.
In fact, she chose to lie not out of vanity, but out of inferiority, afraid that others would look at her with colored glasses, afraid that she would become the daughter of an unbearable drunkard, and also afraid that Zhan Nanxian would despise her. Now, the outside world thought she despised her father as a burden and had abandoned him. What should she do? Zhan Nanxian gently wiped away Yi Xin's tears.
He understood Yi Xin's thoughts and believed she wouldn't abandon her father. Yi Xin was very puzzled as to how the media knew her father was hospitalized and how they coincidentally "besieged" her at the hospital entrance. Zhan Nanxian sternly asked Yi Xin, "Who knew you would go to the hospital?" Yi Xin slowly replied, "Only Wen Nuan knew about it." Nanxian resolutely stated, "Wen Nuan is not that kind of person."
After saying that, he comforted Yi Xin to be more open-minded and get some good sleep. When Zhan Nanxian left Yi Xin's house, the media were still stubbornly waiting. Nanxian then instructed his subordinates to disperse the media. At this moment, Pan Weining was also sitting in his car, silently waiting outside Yi Xin's door. He was eager to see Yi Xin fall from her goddess pedestal into the dirt, so he could prove his unwavering devotion to her.
The next day, Yi Xin woke up to find her doorstep very quiet, with no one surrounding it. She knew perfectly well that Zhan Nanxian had arranged all of this. Yi Xin was very relieved. She didn't care how others judged her; as long as Nanxian could stand firmly by her side, it was all worth it. Yi Xin pulled herself together and continued filming.
However, everyone on the set scoffed at her and gossiped privately about Yi Xin's family affairs. Her assistant Lele stood up for her, but Yi Xin simply pretended not to hear. Just then, another actress, Li Fan, deliberately came to pick a fight. She not only changed the announcement without authorization but also intentionally instigated the director to move up the scene where Yi Xin abandons her biological parents.
Although Yi Xin was angry, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, completely disregarding the arrogant Li Fan. Yi Xin walked out of the dressing room, and Zhan Nanxian happened to call. Assistant Lele couldn't bear to see Yi Xin suffer injustice and spoke up, asking Nanxian to pick up Yi Xin. However, Yi Xin insisted on facing the controversy and enduring the hardships herself, unwilling to trouble Zhan Nanxian.
Zhan Nanxian hung up the phone, still very worried, and prepared to go visit Yi Xin. Just then, Guan Ti came to deliver documents. Zhan Nanxian pushed all the materials to Wen Nuan to handle. Seeing Nanxian so concerned about Yi Xin, Wen Nuan couldn't help but get angry. She angrily rushed to Nanxian, using resignation as an excuse, claiming she was not suitable to review important documents. Zhan Nanxian remained expressionless.
He hadn't yet accepted Wen Nuan's resignation, so Wen Nuan was still an employee of Qianyu and had an obligation to continue working. Wen Nuan couldn't argue with Nanxian and could only angrily take the documents from Guan Ti. During filming, Yi Xin was subjected to Li Fan's personal vendetta disguised as official business. Li Fan maliciously botched the scene, endlessly splashing water on Yi Xin. Water droplets hung on Yi Xin's face.
She clearly knew Li Fan's malicious intent but still maintained a smile. To make the dramatic effect better and more realistic, Yi Xin even proactively suggested to the director that they change the water-splashing scene to a slap. As soon as she said this, the director and others were surprised. Li Fan, however, looked triumphant and then harshly slapped Yi Xin. Yi Xin's emotions burst forth, and she finished the scene in one go, earning the director's approval.
As soon as the scene was filmed, Zhan Nanxian rushed to the set, saying he wanted to treat everyone to a meal. The director greeted him with a smile, but Zhan Nanxian suddenly changed his tone, blaming the director for not arbitrarily changing the announcement. Li Fan stood nearby, her head bowed, not daring to breathe. Nanxian then took Yi Xin and strode away.
