My Bargain Queen Episode 29 Recap
> My Bargain Queen Recap
Fu Shuangshuang was busy cleaning when she received an urgent phone call informing her that Qin Hebo had been injured and hospitalized. Rushing to the hospital, she found Qin Hebo seemingly suffering from amnesia due to a head injury. He claimed to not recognize her, asking, "Who are you?" Fu Shuangshuang, heartbroken and in tears, confessed her feelings to him. She told him, "You can't forget me. It is my fault. I shouldn't have hesitated all this time.
I actually didn't hate you long ago. I just want to tell you that I like you when you come back from the business trip. I've liked you for a long time. And I like you non-stop, uncontrollably. Don't forget me, okay?" Qin Hebo then dropped the act, admitting he had been faking his amnesia to prompt her confession. Ning Meng contacted Xia Qian, arranging a meeting for the following afternoon to discuss things openly.
When Xia Qian arrived, she found Chen Manhui present alongside Ning Meng. During their conversation, Ning Meng was dismissive, telling Xia Qian, "My brother now broke up with you. Please stop pestering him." Chen Manhui then joined in, criticizing Xia Qian and calling her "shameless." Feeling there was nothing more to discuss, Xia Qian attempted to leave, but Ning Meng blocked her path. Realizing Ning Meng's malicious intent, Xia Qian, exasperated, pushed her aside.
At that exact moment, Sheng Zhening and He Zhijun entered the room, witnessing several blood packs fall from Ning Meng. Xia Qian exposed Ning Meng's deception, revealing that Ning Meng had planned to fake a miscarriage and frame her. Xia Qian then directly informed them, "She isn't pregnant at all." Xia Qian then explained how she uncovered Ning Meng's deception. She recounted seeing Ning Meng eating crabs at a restaurant, which struck her as odd for a pregnant woman.
Later, she found Ning Meng's medical examination report and contacted the doctor, who confirmed that Ning Meng was not pregnant and the signature on the report was forged. He Zhijun, devastated, confronted Ning Meng, asking if she had been lying to him all along. Sheng Zhening, furious, admonished his sister for her manipulative actions, highlighting how much He Zhijun yearned for a child and how deeply Ning Meng's lie would hurt him. He urged her to reflect on her behavior.
Meanwhile, Chen Manhui attempted to distance herself, claiming ignorance of Ning Meng's fake pregnancy and her scheme against Xia Qian. However, Sheng Zhening saw through her pretense, bluntly dismissing her. He Zhijun, deeply disappointed, decided to leave despite Ning Meng's tearful pleas and apologies. With Chen Manhui's trial period nearing its end, Sheng Zhening instructed Mr. Wang to dismiss her in accordance with Evergreen's standard procedures, emphasizing that the company does not operate on nepotism.
As Chen Manhui left in disgrace, her colleagues began to gossip about her, revealing that her American degree was fraudulent, acquired through a large sponsorship fee from her father, and that she never actually graduated. Later, Sheng Zhening went to the Marketing Department to pick up Xia Qian, a clear sign of Xia Qian's triumph in the office power struggle. Witnessing this, the female colleagues quickly adapted, moving the air purifier back to Xia Qian’s desk.
Sheng Zhening apologized to Xia Qian for the trouble Ning Meng had caused, but Xia Qian urged him not to be too angry with Ning Meng, expressing concern that his sister might act impulsively again. Sheng Zhening reassured her that he would talk to Ning Meng. Soon, Qin Hebo was discharged from the hospital, and Fu Shuangshuang brought him home. Despite his minor injury, she insisted he not sleep on the sofa, leading to them eventually sharing a bed.
The next morning, Qin Hebo prepared breakfast, stating, "Boyfriends should get up to make breakfast." Over breakfast, they affectionately named their kitten "Pudding of Tiger," though they agreed to call it "Pudding" for short. When Fu Shuangshuang arrived at work, her colleague Jiayu noticed a red mark on her neck, teasing her about a hickey. Fu Shuangshuang tried to explain it was a mosquito bite, but Jiayu playfully retorted, "No need to explain. We are all adults. I got it.
To explain is to hide," before handing her a band-aid to cover it up, jokingly warning her about the adverse effect it might have during her live stream. After He Zhijun moved out, Ning Meng stopped eating properly for several days. Despite his anger, Sheng Zhening remained concerned for his sister and brought her some homemade food.
He urged her to change her ways, explaining that her continued willfulness would not only destroy her marriage with He Zhijun but also lead to disappointment from her family, including himself. Sheng Zhening acknowledged his initial prejudice against He Zhijun but admitted that after their marriage, he could see He Zhijun truly loved Ning Meng, tolerating her bad temper and wishing them a happy future. However, Ning Meng's actions were becoming increasingly excessive, and he could no longer indulge her.
Ning Meng begged her brother to intercede with He Zhijun, but Sheng Zhening advised her that now was not the time, as He Zhijun was still angry. He told her to let He Zhijun calm down, and then sincerely apologize to him. Ning Meng promised to do whatever it took to get him back. Xia Qian brought Sheng Zhening home to meet her mother, who was delighted to learn they were back together, having anticipated their reconciliation.
She insisted on cooking a special meal to celebrate. As it grew late, Xia Qian convinced Sheng Zhening to stay the night, suggesting they could go to work together in the morning. Later, in her room, Xia Qian hesitated to make the first move, worrying about appearing too eager, even as Sheng Zhening entered the room. Sheng Zhening then feigned an accident, claiming he spilled water on his bed, making it wet.
However, they discovered that Xia Qian's room was leaking, and her bed was also soaked. With both beds unusable, they decided to spend the night together on the living room sofa. A short while later, their quiet evening was interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mu Xiaoyan. He explained that his cousin's noisy child at his house had driven him out, and he hoped to stay with Xia Qian and Sheng Zhening for the night.
Sheng Zhening, displeased by the interruption to his time with Xia Qian, arranged for An An to host Mu Xiaoyan instead. Just as Xia Qian and Sheng Zhening began to get close again, Xia Qian's mother unexpectedly reappeared, disrupting their moment. Meanwhile, at An An's house, Mu Xiaoyan’s pet lizard gave An An a fright in the middle of the night, causing him to scream until Mu Xiaoyan caught it.
