Love is Sweet Episode 28 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Lin Taimo met with Du Lin. He mentioned that Du Lei had approached him, which shocked Du Lin, though she forced herself to remain composed. Lin Taimo began to suspect Du Lei's motives and warned Du Lin to keep an eye on him. Faced with this cold-blooded man, even the usually calm Du Lin trembled with nervousness. Years ago, during negotiations between Lin Taimo, Du Lin, and Jiang Yaoming, Jiang Yaoming suddenly fell ill.
Instead of helping, Lin Taimo snatched away Jiang Yaoming’s life-saving medication, directly causing his death due to delayed treatment. Du Lin had witnessed the entire scene—how this ruthless man had callously let someone die—and it filled her with dread. Now, realizing her younger brother Du Lei was foolishly trying to challenge Lin Taimo, Du Lin had little confidence she could protect him and could only think of ways to stop him. In reality, Lin Taimo’s suspicions were justified.
Back when Jiang Jun had fainted from shock in the elevator incident, Du Lei had already discussed countermeasures with Yuan Shuai. They decided that Du Lei would pretend to switch sides, appearing to ally with Lin Taimo against Yuan Shuai while secretly gathering incriminating evidence on Lin Taimo for a decisive counterattack. It was also Du Lei’s idea to collaborate with Zhu Youyi in falsely exposing Yuan Shuai to gain Lin Taimo’s trust.
To bring Lin Taimo down, Yuan Shuai pretended to leave the country but actually stayed behind to work with Du Lei in secret. To gather information, Du Lei provided Yuan Shuai with details about Jia Yuanji, the only son of GE’s chairman. Yuan Shuai was preparing to investigate him. Meanwhile, he instructed Zhu Youyi to handle Jiang Jun’s inevitable questioning. Sure enough, Jiang Jun showed up at Zhu Youyi’s office.
However, she avoided mentioning Yuan Shuai directly and instead cleverly coaxed information out of Zhu Youyi by playing games with him. The less cunning Zhu Youyi nearly spilled everything. Jiang Jun didn’t press further and left abruptly. Jiang Jun and Xu Li sought out Li Xiaochuan, asking him to track Yuan Shuai’s whereabouts. Though Li Xiaochuan had been instructed by Yuan Shuai to keep quiet, his nervousness made him slip up.
After noticing several inconsistencies, Jiang Jun realized there was more to Yuan Shuai’s actions than met the eye and stopped questioning him further. Just as the two were about to leave, Li Xiaochuan called Xu Li back, wanting to talk to her alone. But Xu Li, on Jiang Jun’s behalf, asked again about Yuan Shuai’s location. Unable to withstand the pressure, Li Xiaochuan finally revealed that Yuan Shuai was actually in Shanghai.
Now knowing the truth, Jiang Jun decided not to pry further, understanding Yuan Shuai’s intentions. She chose not to pursue the matter, leaving Li Xiaochuan and Xu Li to talk alone. Li Xiaochuan apologized to Xu Li for his confession the other day. Unable to resist, Xu Li asked if he had ever truly liked her. Li Xiaochuan replied that their differences in every aspect might be the reason for the "one percent probability."
Stung once more by his blunt numerical reasoning, Xu Li never imagined numbers could dictate matters of the heart. Without waiting for him to finish, she tearfully walked away, assuming Li Xiaochuan was still stubbornly fixated on statistics. Little did she know, he had been building up to a heartfelt confession—but not a single word of it made it out.
Jia Yuanji, a lover of music, performed at a bar, but his terrible singing drove away all the customers—except Yuan Shuai. To gain information, Yuan Shuai shamelessly flattered Jia Yuanji, cheering him on. The naive Jia Yuanji immediately considered Yuan Shuai his soulmate and invited him home. He intended to introduce Yuan Shuai to his father, but Mr. Jia was already aware of Yuan Shuai’s motives.
The two sat down to talk, and Yuan Shuai asked Mr. Jia to investigate Lin Taimo thoroughly. However, GE’s chairman proposed a deal—Yuan Shuai would have to work for GE in exchange. . . To gather intelligence, Jiang Jun secretly planted a voice recorder in Du Lei’s office to spy on him. Meanwhile, Li Xiaochuan was desperately trying to improve his compatibility score with Xu Li, even using "Westworld" references to convey his feelings.
After work, Jiang Jun returned to Du Lei’s office to retrieve the recorder but was accidentally spotted by Shen Xin. Remembering Jiang Jun’s past kindness, Shen Xin kindly warned her not to act against Du Lei yet, or she might provoke Lin Taimo’s retaliation. She also revealed that the elevator incident had been orchestrated by Lin Taimo. Hearing this, Jiang Jun suddenly realized the enemy in the shadows wasn’t just Du Lei.
When Jiang Jun returned home, she found that Xu Li had helped tidy up her place. At first, she thought it was all Xu Li’s doing—until she discovered that Yuan Shuai had secretly slipped in some treats for her… Playing back the recordings, Jiang Jun eavesdropped on a conversation between Du Lei and Lin Taimo and was shocked to hear Lin Taimo mention something about "Jiangnan Flavor."
She quickly sent the recording to Qiao Na, who then realized that Jiang Jun was also part of Lin Taimo’s agenda. Now working together, the two pondered Yuan Shuai’s strategy, trying to figure out who his hidden ally was. After eliminating possibilities, it dawned on them—Du Lei was Yuan Shuai’s accomplice. Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai and Mr. Jia collaborated to investigate C Group’s internal structure.
They discovered a suspicious small company called Huixing Industrial, whose legal representative turned out to be just an ordinary female secretary from the Du Group. They decided to dig into the secret agreement between Du Lin and Lin Taimo. Yuan Shuai asked Mr. Jia to arrange a formal confrontation with Du Lin.
