Love is Sweet Episode 25 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun came out of her room, and Yuan Shuai, noticing her troubled expression, could guess most of the story. He entered Jiang’s mother’s room and took the initiative to ask about the truth of the past. With reddened eyes, Jiang’s mother recounted how Jiang’s father had created his own rice noodle brand, with MH providing financial support. Jiang’s father had opposed the acquisition of his brand by C Group, but coincidentally, a food safety issue arose.
With funds running low and for the sake of the factory’s survival, he had no choice but to agree to the acquisition. Jiang’s mother firmly believed that external pressure had triggered Jiang’s father’s fatal illness. Yuan Shuai then requested the acquisition agreement from that year, promising to investigate the matter for her. Only after his assurance did Jiang’s mother let go of her prejudice against MH.
Upon opening the agreement, Yuan Shuai discovered that the representative of C Group back then was named Cao Heng. Meanwhile, Du Lei was also studying the same agreement. Memories flooded back—his younger, inexperienced self trembling before Jiang’s father’s memorial shrine, Du Lin’s cold words ringing in his ears. Forced to grow up and learn indifference in an instant, Du Lei no longer wanted to become the same heartless member of the Du family.
Now, he was determined to uncover the mystery behind it all. Su Chang and his girlfriend returned to Yuan Shuai’s apartment and happened to run into a property manager delivering New Year’s gifts. Despite Su Chang’s desperate attempts to cover up, the manager exposed his lies. Furious upon learning the truth, Xinxin happened to bump into Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun returning home. Sensing the tension, the two quickly stepped in as mediators, but nothing could calm Xinxin down.
What angered her wasn’t that Su Chang wasn’t the so-called "boss" but the fact that he had lied at all. In a last-ditch effort, Su Chang knelt and apologized, finally winning her back. Yuan Shuai’s apartment was finally returned to its rightful owner, but the lovebirds weren’t ready to part yet. They decided to stay at Jiang Jun’s place for the time being. Without Jiang Jun’s knowledge, Yuan Shuai secretly investigated the matter of her father.
Starting with Cao Heng as a lead, he gradually took action. After receiving an address from Su Chang, Yuan Shuai quietly laid out his plan and left a message for Jiang Jun, asking her to wait for him. Assuming he was still busy with work, Jiang Jun didn’t press further. After the New Year break, upon returning to the company, Jiang Jun and her colleagues heard news of MH’s vice president Lin Taimo’s return.
When questioned about her relationship with Lin, Jiang Jun was momentarily at a loss for words. Lin Taimo decided to return to the investment banking division. Spotting Jiang Jun, he nodded in greeting—a gesture that inevitably drew sarcastic remarks from colleagues. But as the person involved, Jiang Jun truly had no ulterior motives. Du Lei tracked down a woman closely associated with Cao Heng.
The woman, decked in gold and jewelry, denied any connection to Cao Heng, assuming Du Lei was there to collect a debt. But Du Lei quickly improvised, pretending instead to repay a debt. The moment the woman heard this, she spilled plenty of information. Cao Heng’s gambling addiction hadn’t changed, and he frequented underground gambling dens to try his luck.
Upon receiving the tip, Du Lei and Yuan Shuai—who had uncovered the same information independently—set off for the underground gambling den at the same time. Du Lei proposed cooperation, and Yuan Shuai, eager to uncover the truth, had no choice but to agree. At the entrance of the den, Yuan Shuai took the lead, pretending to be Du Lei’s boss and forcing him to hand over his wallet as a bribe. Only then did the two gain entry.
Lin Taimo’s arrival drastically shifted the power dynamics at MH. Matthew Ran was transferred to headquarters, and Fan Qichang’s authority was gradually sidelined. Lin summoned Jiang Jun, and the two chatted amiably. Suddenly, Lin brought up Jiang’s father—it turned out he had been involved in the rice noodle brand’s partnership with MH back then. He mentioned that he had been responsible for finding C Group to acquire the brand, but Jiang’s father had passed away from his illness.
Jiang Jun listened silently before cutting him off. Seeing her independence and strength, Lin didn’t press further. Instead, he offered to help her in the future—words that sounded like an attempt to make amends. Jiang Jun merely smiled and declined, but the atmosphere between them remained perfectly harmonious. Yuan Shuai and Du Lei lay in wait at the gambling den and finally caught sight of Cao Heng. Working seamlessly together, they cornered and successfully intercepted him.
