Liars in Love Episode 10 Recap
> Liars in Love Recap
Zhou Yu's meticulously planned perfect date was stood up by Jiang Lai. Upon returning home, he found Jiang Lai already intoxicated, lamenting and questioning why he did not like her and instead liked Su Qing, becoming quite agitated. A waiter then presented a bill for six bottles of wine totaling 66,000 yuan, which Zhou Yu reluctantly paid.
The following morning, still feeling the sting of rejection and Jiang Lai's apparent preoccupation with her crush, Li Tingjiang, Zhou Yu used their contractual agreement to demand she prepare a special seedless strawberry and dragon fruit juice for him. Jiang Lai complained about the tedious task but ultimately complied, presenting it to him with mock reverence. The next day, Jiang Lai dressed up for a date with Li Tingjiang.
Zhou Yu, consumed by jealousy, cancelled his business engagements and, with his assistant Chen Jun, transformed into a covert detective, tracking their every move and constantly disrupting their date. Their date included enjoying sugar-coated haws, where Jiang Lai reminisced about college days. Zhou Yu disrupted this nostalgic moment by purchasing the last haw from the vendor and then orchestrating for a child to ask Jiang Lai for her partially eaten one.
Later, as Jiang Lai and Li Tingjiang went pedal boating, Zhou Yu and Chen Jun followed closely. Chen Jun nervously confessed he couldn't swim, but Zhou Yu ignored him, focused on observing the couple. He grew increasingly frustrated as Chen Jun reported Li Tingjiang feeding Jiang Lai snacks and them leaning close together. Zhou Yu took over pedaling, urging Chen Jun to report their actions, desperate to keep them in sight.
While at a barbecue stall, Li Tingjiang received repeated calls on his phone. He dismissed them as unimportant, despite the caller expressing how much they missed him, which Jiang Lai noticed. Unbeknownst to Jiang Lai, the calls were from Zhou Yu's stepmother, who was Li Tingjiang's secret lover. The stepmother and Li Tingjiang discussed her intentions to eventually give Zhou Yu control of the resort project, expressing her anticipation for his performance with Dream City.
Following another call, Li Tingjiang abruptly announced he had "other plans" and needed to leave, offering to take Jiang Lai home. She insisted she could manage alone at the barbecue, and Li Tingjiang apologized before departing. Left alone at the barbecue stall, Jiang Lai, now disheartened after realizing Li Tingjiang had a secret lover, began to drink heavily. Zhou Yu then appeared, criticizing her for drinking alone.
He reminded her of her previous drunken antics and prevented her from consuming more alcohol. Jiang Lai, feeling utterly lost and rejected, tearfully confided that Li Tingjiang had left her for someone else. Meanwhile, a conspiracy targeting Zhou Yu was being set in motion. Li Tingjiang met with Zhou Yu's stepmother, confirming their secret romantic relationship.
He reassured her that she was the only one in his heart, after initially lying about having dinner with colleagues when questioned about his evening. They discussed sabotaging Zhou Yu's new venture by exposing Huang Yonghua, the vice president of Dream City Department Store, for embezzlement. Their plan was to leak Huang Yonghua's fraudulent transactions, triggering a full audit of Dream City, which would freeze all funds.
This would leave Zhou Yu without capital, hindering his ability to make progress on the project within the crucial three-month deadline. Soon after, news of false accounting within Dream City reached Zhou Yu. Chen Jun informed him that the company's funds were frozen pending an investigation, which would severely impact quarterly sales. Zhou Yu immediately requested all the financial details. Jiang Lai, having heard the office gossip, insisted on helping him, even knowing the potential dangers.
She revealed that the false accounting involved the rental contract of Snapdragon Farm and vowed to investigate, with or without his permission. Zhou Yu and Jiang Lai then infiltrated Huang Yonghua's company, which had been established with Zhou's Group investment. Zhou Yu explained the necessity of discretion to find concrete evidence from subsidiary contracts without alerting Huang Yonghua.
Once inside the archives, despite the overwhelming amount of documents, Zhou Yu quickly located the incriminating evidence and handed it to Jiang Lai. Their discovery was short-lived, however, as security guards, alerted to their presence, began a chase through the building and ultimately into the parking lot.
