> Here to Heart Recap
Pan Weining arrogantly rejected the cooperation between Qianyu and Daizhong. Zhu Linlu, having no other option, got up and left the conference, and Wen Rou quickly followed him out. Wen Rou was very surprised. She had clearly negotiated with those people before to sell the shares to Zhu Linlu. She couldn't understand why they had gone back on their word and sided with Pan Weining; it was truly strange!
Zhu Linlu analyzed carefully, realizing it wasn't a matter of them going back on their word, but rather that it couldn't be such a coincidence. Wen Rou was secretly astonished. She suddenly remembered that she had only told Liu Rui these secrets. Wen Rou found it hard to believe; how could Liu Rui betray her? As she thought about it, Wen Rou couldn't sit still anymore. She got up and rushed to find Liu Rui.
Wen Rou found Liu Rui in the pantry. Facing Wen Rou's questions, Liu Rui's expression was grave. He could only admit everything: his family owed Pan Weining a great favor, so he had no choice but to follow Pan Weining's arrangements, joining Daizhong, entering the finance department, and gradually undermining Zhu Linlu. Wen Rou's emotions instantly erupted. Was their encounter also a deliberate arrangement?
Liu Rui solemnly swore that his acquaintance with Wen Rou was indeed fate, and his subsequent love for Wen Rou was also the most genuine feeling in his heart. However, Wen Rou could no longer trust Liu Rui. She was in tears, declaring that from this moment on, she and Liu Rui were completely breaking up and would no longer have any contact. The news of Pan Weining's dominance quickly reached Zhan Nanxian.
He told Wen Nuan that Zhu Linlu was no longer Daizhong's largest shareholder, and the cooperation between Qianyu and Daizhong had also stalled. Wen Nuan and Zhan Nanxian both knew very well that Pan Weining would absolutely not allow Qianyu to recover. It seemed that the upcoming cooperation with Daizhong was doomed. Wen Nuan worried about Zhu Linlu and called him to express her concern. From Zhu Linlu, she learned that Liu Rui was a spy sent by Pan Weining.
Wen Nuan feared her elder sister couldn't bear this blow, so she immediately went out to look for Wen Rou. That night, Wen Rou came to a bar and sat blankly to one side. Liu Rui followed and begged Wen Rou for forgiveness. Wen Rou's face was cold; she could not forgive Liu Rui, and she would completely block him out of her life. Liu Rui still wanted to explain, but Wen Rou wouldn't give in.
She hadn't expected that the perfect and happy relationship she thought she had was nothing more than a performance by Liu Rui. Liu Rui explained repeatedly that regardless of the business world, his feelings for Wen Rou were genuine. But Wen Rou had lost her most basic trust in Liu Rui. She gritted her teeth and spoke harshly, saying that it wasn't her first breakup, so she wouldn't care at all.
Hearing these words, Liu Rui could only turn and leave awkwardly. Wen Rou, feeling lost and sad, gripped her wine glass tightly. Coming out of the bar, Wen Rou passed by the riverside. She couldn't help but recall that birthday night when she and Liu Rui sang loudly, feeling so utterly carefree. She never expected it all to be just a fleeting dream.
Just then, Wen Nuan called, asking where Wen Rou was, as she needed to hurry over to comfort and take care of her elder sister. Meanwhile, Zhu Linlu returned home disheartened. Facing his father, he could only lower his head and admit his mistake. His father didn't blame Zhu Linlu, saying there were no perpetual winners in business, and as long as they worked together to find a solution, there would always be room to turn things around.
Zhu Linlu had wanted to complain to Zhu Yi, but his father told him that for Daizhong to reach its current scale, Zhu Yi had also put in effort, and that family ties were always paramount. Wen Nuan found Wen Rou by the riverside. Wen Rou gave a self-deprecating smile, saying it was just falling for a scumbag, nothing major.
Every time she'd broken up before, she'd drunk herself senseless, but this time, although she went to the bar, she didn't touch a drop of alcohol. This showed that she hadn't taken Liu Rui to heart at all. Wen Rou sighed, lamenting that she was truly a woman unworthy of love, and would never meet the right person. Wen Nuan could only do her best to comfort her elder sister, and the two sisters huddled together in the river breeze.
The next day, Zhu Yi and his son came to Zhu Linlu's house. Zhu Yi immediately questioned Zhu Linlu, asking why Pan Weining had taken control of Daizhong. Zhu Linlu was furious. If Zhu Yi and Zhu Linghong hadn't sold their shares, how could Pan Weining have seized the opportunity?
Zhu Linghong retorted angrily, saying that if Zhu Linlu hadn't been so aggressive and forced him to resign in the first place, he and his father wouldn't have resorted to selling their shares. As things stood, Zhu Linlu no longer argued. Zhu Linlu's father stepped forward and lectured everyone that they shouldn't fight amongst themselves. Zhu Linghong felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Zhu Linlu fall to such a state.
Zhu Yi chastised his son, asking how they could watch Daizhong fall into others' hands, regardless of what Zhu Linlu had done, as it was the crystallization of the Zhu family's efforts. With that, Zhu Yi took Zhu Linghong and left. From then on, Pan Weining replaced Zhu Linlu and officially took control of Daizhong. He first promoted Liu Rui to Chairman's Secretary, which utterly shocked everyone.
Colleagues privately discussed how they never expected Liu Rui to be Pan Weining's man. They said it truly showed that you know a person's face but not their heart, and that this pretty boy indeed couldn't be trusted, having even deceived Wen Rou. Just then, Wen Rou happened to walk over. With a cold expression, she deliberately kept her distance from the approaching Liu Rui, only discussing work and nothing else.
Pan Weining received a call from Le Le, learning that Yi Xin had fallen from a height and gone into a coma while filming an action movie. Pan Weining rushed to the hospital to visit. Yi Xin had already woken up but had injured her leg. Pan Weining tenderly instructed her to rest and recover. Yi Xin, however, smiled casually, saying it was all part of her job and nothing serious.
Then, Pan Weining carefully took Yi Xin home, caring for her thoughtfully and preparing a rose petal bath for Yi Xin. For him, all of this was sweet as nectar. Yi Xin was also touched by Pan Weining, and from now on, she would treat this relationship seriously. Wen Rou held a meeting for everyone at Daizhong. She deliberately ignored Liu Rui, which made Liu Rui feel uneasy.
