Lucky With You Episode 7 Recap
> Lucky With You Recap
Wu Shiyi learned from Qian Qian that her father, Wu Tianyi, had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. The person who called the ambulance was Zhu Dapeng, and the incident occurred at his home. Qian Qian informed Wu Shiyi that the medical expenses had been covered by the company and would later be deducted from her pay.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Wu Tianyi, still recovering, was introduced to Hou Jue, who immediately adopted an overly familiar tone, suggesting Wu Shiyi treat him like a close friend. Qian Qian, annoyed by Hou Jue’s attitude, intervened. She recounted Wu Shiyi's difficult past: after her parents' divorce, Wu Tianyi's failed investments left him with immense debt, which Wu Shiyi diligently worked to repay, sacrificing her savings, selling her car, and even living in company dorms.
Qian Qian emphasized the vital importance of Wu Shiyi’s current job and urged Hou Jue to cooperate rather than jeopardize her position through his impulsive behavior. Hou Jue quickly agreed and inquired about the exact amount of Wu Tianyi’s debt, but Qian Qian declined to provide that personal detail.
Wu Shiyi initially intended to leave the hospital after her father's check-up, but Hou Jue surprised her by declaring he would stay overnight to care for Wu Tianyi alongside her, arranging for two rental beds. Meanwhile, while Wu Shiyi was out fetching food, Wu Tianyi used his phone to call Li Chu, determined to clear his daughter's name. He explained that Zhu Dapeng, not Wu Shiyi, was the one who was unfaithful, citing an admission from the other woman involved.
He called Zhu Dapeng a "bastard" for spreading rumors about Wu Shiyi and insisted on correcting the narrative. Wu Shiyi, returning with food, overheard her father's heartfelt defense and was deeply moved. Elsewhere, Ma Zong, worried about Liu Tiehao potentially exposing their illicit activities, reasoned that Liu Tiehao wouldn't gain anything by betraying his "god of wealth." He estimated Liu Tiehao would be imprisoned for three to six months and would inevitably seek money from him upon release.
Rather than flee, Ma Zong decided to capitalize on these three months to amass substantial wealth for himself and Xiao Min. Xiao Min, however, remained fearful. Ma Zong attempted to reassure her, pointing out that no traces or evidence had been found. He maintained that they had nothing to fear, yet Xiao Min still questioned when their anxious days would end.
That evening, Hou Jue messaged Wu Shiyi, sincerely apologizing for his reckless fight earlier, acknowledging that his actions had caused her to neglect her ailing father, making him feel irresponsible. Wu Shiyi confided that while she would have forgotten Zhu Dapeng otherwise, this incident ignited a strong desire for revenge against the "scumbag." Hou Jue expressed his admiration for Wu Shiyi and Wu Tianyi's close father-daughter relationship. Wu Shiyi then asked about Hou Jue’s strained relationship with Hou Zhirong.
Hou Jue briefly mentioned his father’s mistreatment of his mother but refused to elaborate. He promised to try his best not to provoke Wu Shiyi anymore, marking a night of growing openness between them. At the company, Hou Zhirong confronted his staff about a massive 20 million transfer from the company's account, which had mysteriously vanished to the Solomon Islands, a location where international money laundering organizations frequently assist in establishing untraceable accounts.
Despite the three financial keys being secure and no signs of forced entry, police suspected a virus intrusion that stole the key passwords. Hou Zhirong was enraged and demanded that every effort be made to trace the funds, though he was told it was "almost impossible." He instructed Ma Zong to secure a short-term loan to cover immediate payables, as only 2. 21 million remained in the account against 5.
8 million in upcoming payments and 80 million in receivables that would not arrive until the next month. Hou Zhirong believed the hacker's target was him and that the sophisticated nature of the attack, leaving no trace, was unprecedented in his career. He decided to open a new basic bank account and temporarily suspend the current finance team. He asserted that if another incident occurred, it would confirm an insider was responsible.
Recalling that his finance director, Tian Min, was a local top scholar, proficient in computer science and programming, Hou Zhirong couldn't shake the suspicion that she might be involved due to her high intelligence. Meanwhile, Zhang Yingnan visited Wu Tianyi at the hospital. Wu Tianyi confirmed that Zhu Dapeng had cheated, prompting an angry reaction from Zhang Yingnan.
She learned that Zhu Dapeng was currently ranked tenth in a "Top Ten Popular Writers" online poll, just ahead of the eleventh place by over 200 votes, with voting closing that day. Zhang Yingnan immediately mobilized a group of people, including children, distributing free Bamboo princess tissues to anyone who would vote for the candidate just below Zhu Dapeng, successfully ousting him from the top ten.
Zhu Dapeng complained to his girlfriend, Li Xuemei, about being "hacked" out of the competition but decided not to cause trouble, accepting his fate. Li Xuemei, however, insisted he complain, arguing that the voting results should not stand and it was clear he had been "hacked." Separately, Hai Xing prepared an elaborate meal, including "Diaolong" beef, and sent Doll to deliver it to Qian Qian.
Doll delivered the food with a passive-aggressive attitude, and Qian Qian, finding the beef delicious, still tried to pay for it, not wanting to accept it without earning it. Hai Xing refused payment, responding with corny pickup lines like, "Your existence is the greatest merit," which further displeased Doll. Later, at the hospital, Hou Jue again insisted on staying overnight with Wu Shiyi and Wu Tianyi, correctly intuiting that Wu Tianyi, despite his protests, secretly appreciated their company.
That night, Hou Jue told Wu Shiyi he needed to go to the company to retrieve some items. Wu Shiyi accompanied him. At the company, Ma Zong was found comforting a terrified Xiao Min in the stairwell, reassuring her that Hou Zhirong had found no traces or evidence. It was at this moment that Hou Jue and Wu Shiyi unexpectedly arrived at the company.
