Negotiator Episode 34 Recap
> Negotiator Recap
Lao Qi brought Xia Shanshan to their new home, and Xia Shanshan thanked Lao Qi for his help. This time, Lao Qi confessed to Xia Shanshan that although his ex-wife could accept the child, she could not accept them getting married. Lao Qi asked Xia Shanshan to give him a few more months, but Xia Shanshan accepted it calmly.
The Xia Shanshan of the past, who was clear in her loves and hates, was gone; now, she was a mother who could sacrifice everything for her child. Tong Wei and Xie Xiaofei passed by a furniture store together, and the two went in to browse. Xie Xiaofei looked down on the colorful plates Tong Wei picked out, but Tong Wei thought of her childhood, accompanying her parents to furniture stores, because of these dishes. The two returned home playfully.
Just as Xie Xiaofei was saying that the plates Tong Wei arranged didn't look good, he suddenly received a video call from Xie Tiancheng. It turned out that the attending doctor Xie Xiaofei had previously emailed to his mother had long been controlled by Xie Tiancheng, so Xie Tiancheng decided to teach Xie Xiaofei a good lesson. Xie Xiaofei suppressed his anger and answered the call, stating directly that he would not sign the equity transfer agreement.
But Xie Tiancheng turned the video camera to his mother beside him, and upon seeing his mother in the hospital bed, Xie Xiaofei immediately became emotional. Xie Tiancheng threatened Xie Xiaofei, saying that if he didn't cooperate, he would pull out the life-saving needle from his mother. Xie Xiaofei hung up the phone and quickly looked for the transfer agreement, wanting to sign the agreement for his mother. Xie Xiaofei, who had lost his mind, was unable to think calmly.
Tong Wei finally managed to calm Xie Xiaofei down. She suggested that Xie Xiaofei leverage public opinion to draw media attention to his mother's condition, thereby pushing Xie Tiancheng into the spotlight of public criticism. Although this was a good method, his mother's medical expenses were too enormous, and no one could afford such a huge sum. Tong Wei held Xie Xiaofei's hand and said that she could sell her house for money to help their family.
That was the inheritance Tong Wei's parents left her. Xie Xiaofei refused without thinking; he thought he still had a piece of land he could sell. That land was Xie Xiaofei's only chance to realize his dream. Tong Wei would not allow him to sell his last hope, no matter what she said. Xie Xiaofei knew Tong Wei was right but couldn't help feeling sad. He hugged Tong Wei and shed tears.
Tong Wei comforted him, saying that even though the house was sold, they would definitely buy it back in the future. To prepare for selling the house, Xie Xiaofei and Tong Wei first found Tong Tiantian. After hearing Tong Wei's words, she immediately accused Xie Xiaofei of dragging Tong Wei down even though his own family was bankrupt. Xie Xiaofei was somewhat shaken by Tong Tiantian's words; he didn't want to implicate Tong Wei.
But when Xie Xiaofei said his stocks were worth 300 million US dollars, Tong Tiantian immediately changed her expression and raised both hands in approval of Tong Wei selling the house. Tong Tiantian said the only way now was to act first and report later. According to the plan agreed upon with Tong Wei, Tong Tiantian said she had recently made some money and took her parents to a large bathhouse for massage and bathing.
Meanwhile, Tong Wei took the agent to view the house. While getting a massage, Tong Tiantian's mother thought about her daughter's future success and couldn't help but shed tears. Tong Tiantian couldn't stand her mother being so sentimental and excused herself to get some fruit. But at this moment, Tong Tiantian's father received a call from her counselor, learning that Tong Tiantian had too many absences and was facing disciplinary action.
He immediately darkened his face and stopped his massage, sending Tong Tiantian to school. Tong Tiantian feared her parents returning home would ruin Tong Wei's plan, so she cried and threw a tantrum, not letting her parents go back, which in turn made them notice something unusual. When they dragged Tong Tiantian home, they happened to meet the house-viewing agent at the doorstep.
Tong Tiantian's mother saw them and said she had never wanted to sell the house, but since only Tong Wei's name was on the property deed, it would be fine as long as Tong Wei consented. Tong Wei admitted she was selling the house but didn't explain the reason, only saying she would give her uncle and aunt some subsidies after selling the house. Tong Wei's aunt strongly disagreed, but Tong Wei was determined to do it.
Tong Wei's uncle found Tong Wei alone, wanting to understand the real reason for her selling the house, but the reason was too complicated to explain in a few words. The uncle learned the root cause was Xie Xiaofei. He strongly opposed Tong Wei selling her parents' inheritance for an outsider. If Tong Wei insisted, he would tell her not to recognize him as her uncle anymore.
This time, at the crossroads of kinship and love, Tong Wei felt lost about her decision. After work, Yang Xiao brought Zhao Chenxi to a brilliantly lit square adorned with neon lights. Yang Xiao told his parents about their relationship, and his parents wanted Yang Xiao to get married as soon as possible. Then, Yang Xiao knelt on one knee before Zhao Chenxi and proposed to her. A crowd quickly gathered in the empty square.
Zhao Chenxi, for the sake of appearances, couldn't directly refuse, so she just let Yang Xiao take her home first. After arriving home, Yang Xiao wanted Zhao Chenxi to put on the ring, but she was unwilling in her heart, so she only accepted the ring and said she wanted to consider it for a while to delay. Facing the dazzling diamond ring, Zhao Chenxi didn't know what to do.
She understood how unwilling she was in her heart, yet she was extremely annoyed at herself for not having the courage to refuse. After Tong Wei sold her house, realizing she had nowhere to go for the time being, she called Xia Shanshan, wanting to stay with her for a few days. The agent needed the house to be delivered on time, so Tong Wei had to persuade her uncle and aunt to leave.
Her uncle angrily took out a portrait of Tong Wei's parents and accused her of spending all her days for a man, ignoring her parents' grievances. Tong Wei knelt before her parents' portraits and apologized to them. Her uncle could only leave helplessly after seeing this.
Xia Shanshan remembered she hadn't told Tong Wei about reconciling with Lao Qi, so she first welcomed Tong Wei to her new home before nervously telling Tong Wei that she and Lao Qi had gotten back together. Tong Wei worried that Lao Qi still wouldn't marry Xia Shanshan, but Xia Shanshan said she was willing to live this kind of life and that Lao Qi could give her a sense of security and dependence.
Tong Wei didn't want to see Xia Shanshan living by relying on a man now. Xia Shanshan, however, reminded Tong Wei that she had lost her job and sold her house for Xie Xiaofei, and she should consider what to do if Xie Xiaofei didn't want her anymore one day. Xia Shanshan and Tong Wei argued endlessly over their respective loves, both strongly disapproving of each other's actions. Despite Xia Shanshan's attempts to persuade her to stay, Tong Wei eventually left.
