Love is Sweet Episode 24 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun went to the kitchen to watch Yuan Shuai cook. Jiang’s mother urged him to take a break, but she couldn’t resist his enthusiasm. Observing the intimate interactions between Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, Jiang’s mother wore a thoughtful expression. When the three sat down, the sharp-eyed mother began subtly probing Yuan Shuai with questions. Though he denied each one, she had already drawn her own conclusions.
Just as the atmosphere grew warm, Jiang’s mother brought up the "villain" who had stolen Jiang Jun’s speech script years ago. Hearing the resentment in her tone, Yuan Shuai realized he could no longer hide the truth. He dropped to his knees and confessed that he had been the one who accidentally taken the script. With Jiang Jun’s help in persuading her, Jiang’s mother reluctantly forgave his past "misdeed."
But though she pretended to be stern, she kept refilling Yuan Shuai’s wine glass to the brim—clearly intending to get him drunk. Unable to refuse, a red-faced Yuan Shuai downed glass after glass. Only when his cup was empty did Jiang’s mother finally set the bottle aside and let the meal begin. Homeless, Xu Li returned to the convenience store to help her coworker cover a shift. The coworker happened to mention Li Xiaochuan’s drunken episode the night before.
Staring at the familiar counter, memories flooded Xu Li’s mind, and her tears finally broke free. Ready to let go of the past, Jiang’s mother brought fruit to Yuan Shuai as a peace offering. Seeing her soften, Yuan Shuai casually mentioned he already had a girlfriend. But the moment Jiang’s mother heard this, her expression darkened, and she stormed off before he could add that the girlfriend was Jiang Jun.
Furious, she ordered Jiang Jun to send Yuan Shuai away immediately, even grabbing a photo of her late husband to "complain," cursing Yuan Shuai as a "scumbag." Exhausted from working like a servant in the Jiang household, Yuan Shuai was barely alive, but the cold-hearted mother tossed him a thin blanket and banished him to the living room. Unable to argue, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
Still, Jiang Jun, heart aching for him, sneaked out late at night with a thick quilt to cover him. But Yuan Shuai wasn’t about to let her go so easily—the two ended up curled together on the couch all night. When Jiang Jun tried to sneak back at dawn, she found her mother already sitting nearby, glaring at them. Realizing they’d been caught, Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai sprang apart.
Jiang’s mother scolded Jiang Jun, urging her to "come to her senses." Seeing no way out, Yuan Shuai openly admitted their relationship. But now, Jiang’s mother pretended to be sleepwalking and hurried away. Once back in her room, she happily hugged her husband’s photo, excitedly reporting Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai’s romance. The next day, in high spirits, Jiang’s mother prepared a lavish feast, eagerly serving Yuan Shuai.
He mentioned how much he missed the Jiang family’s rice noodles, prompting her to bring out a "supercharged" version just for him. Meanwhile, Jiang Jun found herself at the bottom of the food chain. When her mahjong friends called, Jiang’s mother decided to show Yuan Shuai off. He didn’t disappoint—dressing sharply, charming the aunties, and even subtly rigging the game to let them win. Instantly, he became the most sought-after son-in-law candidate.
Seizing the moment, Jiang’s mother revealed his relationship with Jiang Jun, leaving her friends green with envy—much to her delight. On the way home, Yuan Shuai bought roasted chestnuts for Jiang Jun, stirring memories in Jiang’s mother of how Jiang’s father used to do the same. As Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai shared the warm snack, Jiang’s mother made Yuan Shuai promise never to be the one who made Jiang Jun cry. Solemnly, he vowed to protect her forever.
Back home, the three shared food, but Jiang Jun accidentally spilled water on Yuan Shuai. Jiang’s mother rushed to help him remove his jacket—only to discover his business card, revealing he and Jiang Jun worked at the same company, MH. Suddenly, her face darkened. She called Jiang Jun into the room, leaving Yuan Shuai confused. It turned out Jiang Jun had hidden her true profession. Remembering how investment banking had led to her husband’s death, Jiang’s mother’s eyes reddened with anger. She demanded Jiang Jun resign immediately. . .
