Le Coup de Foudre Episode 8 Recap
> Le Coup de Foudre Recap
Zhao Qiaoyi felt tormented after learning Father Yan's secret. To avoid hurting Yan Mo, she could only choose to hide it. Zhao Qiaoyi, with a flash of inspiration, deliberately changed the subject and asked Yan Mo to complete the task of persuading her brother. Yan Mo found Zhao Guanchao and directly stated his purpose for seeking him out, but Zhao Guanchao said it was their family matter and he didn't need to worry.
Finally, Zhao Guanchao also revealed the reason for his resentment towards their biological father – it was all for Zhao Qiaoyi. When Zhao Qiaoyi was a child, she was severely injured by domestic violence from their biological father, requiring a major surgery that left Zhao Qiaoyi's back without feeling to this day. After Zhao Qiaoyi recovered, she remained incredibly strong and optimistic internally, which greatly shocked her brother Zhao Guanchao.
The next day, when Yan Mo saw Zhao Qiaoyi again, he remembered what Zhao Guanchao had said the day before, giving him a deeper understanding of Zhao Qiaoyi. That evening, Zhao Guanchao also recalled the time he and his sister got lost as children. It was because of that incident that the three of them first met their stepfather, Tian Weimin.
Father Tian's 40th birthday banquet was approaching, so he sent invitations to people in his office, but they were all rejected. Father Tian was therefore irritated and petulantly said he would cancel the birthday banquet. Zhao Suying felt utterly confused but helpless. At this moment, Zhao Qiaoyi wondered why her stepfather had such poor interpersonal skills. During class break, Yu Miaomiao wrote on Zhao Qiaoyi's back. Since Zhao Qiaoyi had no feeling in her back, she couldn't answer.
Just then, to ease the awkwardness, Yan Mo voluntarily wrote on her back, but unexpectedly, Zhao Qiaoyi guessed all of them correctly. Zhao Qiaoyi felt lucky that she had guessed correctly. In fact, it was because Yan Mo, based on his understanding of Zhao Qiaoyi, had cleverly designed the questions that allowed Zhao Qiaoyi to guess right. After class, Zhao Qiaoyi proactively invited Yan Mo to her house, which suddenly made Yan Mo a little flustered.
He specifically searched online for what gift to give when visiting a girl's house for the first time. Zhao Qiaoyi was at home when she received an invitation message from her biological father, Zhao Lei, and fell silent. The next day, Yan Mo went to Zhao Qiaoyi's house. Upon entering the door, he found Fei Dachuan and Hao Wuyi were also there. Everyone had gathered to prepare for Zhao Qiaoyi's stepfather's birthday party.
Father Tian took Zhao Suying to a fancy Western restaurant for dinner. They had a small awkward moment when ordering because they didn't understand the menu. During the meal, they talked about family matters again, discussing the vastly different personalities of Zhao Guanchao and Zhao Qiaoyi. Zhao Guanchao was extroverted and free-spirited, while Zhao Qiaoyi, although she had backbone, always kept her thoughts to herself.
During the meal, Father Tian told Zhao Suying that he truly regarded Zhao Qiaoyi as his own daughter and hoped he could walk her down the aisle when she got married in the future. They both sighed with emotion as they discussed the future of their children. In the morning, Zhao Qiaoyi had persuaded Zhao Guanchao to go see Zhao Lei, while she stayed home to help host Father Tian's birthday banquet.
Zhao Guanchao met his biological father, who offered to take him to live in Canada as compensation. Zhao Guanchao retorted by asking his biological father how he would compensate Zhao Qiaoyi. Unexpectedly, his biological father still had the same patriarchal mindset. Zhao Guanchao utterly despised this, mocked his biological father, and explicitly stated he would sever all ties with him.
Zhao Guanchao also recalled his conversation with his sister that morning; Zhao Qiaoyi had asked him to see their biological father because she didn't want her brother to live his life carrying resentment. After this meeting with his biological father, he had completely let go of his love and hate for him. Father Tian and Zhao Suying returned home, thinking they were the only ones there.
They began affectionately doting on each other as if no one was watching, speaking sweet nothings. Suddenly, a group of people popped out, causing an immediate awkward scene. Seeing this, the four others quickly slipped away, returning the private world to Father Tian and Zhao Suying. When Fei Dachuan bid farewell to Yan Mo, he gave Yan Mo the file bag he had accidentally taken from Yan Mo's house last time.
At the same time, Zhao Qiaoyi also fully revealed the truth about what she had seen regarding Father Yan. Yan Mo's suspicion was confirmed, and he left without saying a word. Zhao Guanchao returned home very late. He didn't tell Zhao Qiaoyi what their biological father had said to him, but instead told a loving lie. He didn't want Zhao Qiaoyi to be hurt in any way and hoped she would continue to live with love and happiness.
Although the siblings often bickered and hurt each other, deep down, they loved each other very much. As soon as Yan Mo returned home, he saw his father carrying a suitcase, preparing to leave. Father Yan made an excuse about going on a long trip, and Yan Mo's mother also said she was leaving tomorrow. Yan Mo saw the file Fei Dachuan had given him; his mother's file indicated her marital status was divorced.
Yan Mo suddenly exploded, questioning his parents about all of this. Yan Mo's father confessed everything to Yan Mo, telling him they had divorced seven years ago and had hidden it to allow him to grow up better. However, Yan Mo was unwilling to accept this reality and ran out of the house, weeping sadly alone in the rain.
To celebrate his birthday, Tian Weimin took out the hundred-year-old family wine and drank exceptionally happily with Zhao Suying, constantly praising the taste of the wine. Unexpectedly, three days earlier, this bottle of wine had actually been accidentally knocked over by Zhao Qiaoyi and Zhao Guanchao. To cover up their wrongdoing, they had mixed in many other types of wine to pass it off.
