Nice to Meet You Episode 50 Recap
> Nice to Meet You Recap
During a meeting about the plagiarism lawsuit, Wu Xiaoci remained defiant despite legal arguments presented by Gao Jie's lawyer. Gao Hai, present at the meeting, disclosed that Pan Yue's former teacher, now living overseas, was willing to testify that Pan Yue's design predated Wu Xiaoci's. He also offered his own testimony, having seen Pan Yue's work before "Butterfly Dance" was created.
Gao Hai emphasized that he had refrained from escalating the matter for Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hui's sake, hoping only for Pan Yue's injustice to be rectified. However, Wu Xiaoci accused Gao Hai of betrayal and rejected any settlement, declaring her intent to sue Gao Jie for defamation. Gao Hai reminded her to consider the consequences for Gao Hui if they went to court, but Wu Xiaoci remained obstinate.
Soon after, Gao Jie received an urgent call from Qin Jie, informing her that Pan Yue was terrified and hiding under a table. Pan Yue had accidentally pushed a woman down the stairs, and that woman was Gao Hui. Gao Jie was furious upon hearing Gao Hui’s name. Meanwhile, Gao Hui, feigning more severe injuries than she sustained, returned home.
She and Wu Xiaoci decided to capitalize on the incident to prove Pan Yue was mentally unstable and incapable of self-care, thereby forcing Gao Jie to drop the plagiarism case and potentially invalidating any future testimony from Pan Yue. Yu Yi, unaware of their full scheme, offered to persuade Gao Jie to let go of the past. When Gao Jie and Yu Zhi arrived at Wu Xiaoci’s home, Gao Hui requested to speak with Gao Jie and Wu Xiaoci alone.
Yu Yi advised Gao Jie to "stop before it goes too far," implying that Pan Yue was at fault. Yu Zhi immediately defended Gao Jie, stating that the full truth was not yet known. Inside, Gao Jie confronted Gao Hui, who, emboldened by Pan Yue’s vulnerable state, demanded Pan Yue take responsibility for her actions.
Gao Jie was incensed, accusing Gao Hui and Wu Xiaoci of despicable tactics, not only plagiarizing Pan Yue’s work but now trampling on her pain and using her illness to attack her. Wu Xiaoci demanded Gao Jie retract her plagiarism accusations and publicly apologize for making baseless claims, or they would sue Pan Yue for assault. Gao Jie flatly refused, vowing to uncover the truth.
Outside, Yu Zhi questioned Yu Yi's loyalty to Gao Hui, hinting that Gao Hui might be responsible for their new company’s sales issues while her own products sold exceptionally well. Yu Yi dismissed the accusations, stating he would investigate the sales issues himself and reassuring Yu Zhi that their brotherhood would not be affected, regardless of their differing stances. Later, Gao Hai had successfully calmed Pan Yue down by diverting her attention to drawing.
Gao Jie expressed her distress over the dilemma created by Gao Hui and Wu Xiaoci’s plot, blaming herself for not protecting Pan Yue adequately. Yu Zhi suggested another approach: an official medical evaluation for Pan Yue. If the police investigation found no signs of hypomania or violent tendencies, Pan Yue could receive medical treatment without needing isolation. However, during the hospital visit, Pan Yue became extremely distressed and fearful, crying and begging to go home.
A nurse advised against continuing the evaluation, and Gao Jie, heartbroken, took Pan Yue home. To support Gao Jie, Yu Zhi, along with Chen Pinzhen and Yan Kai, began searching for witnesses to Pan Yue's incident, hoping to find someone who could corroborate Gao Jie's claims. Chen Pinzhen excitedly called Gao Jie to praise Yu Zhi’s unwavering support.
Yu Zhi then entrusted Gao Jie with developing the custom wedding ring service for their company, promising to handle her family's troubles so she could focus on her passion. Meanwhile, Gao Hai made another attempt to divorce Wu Xiaoci. She initially refused, threatening to use her control over his painting agency agreement to prevent him from selling his artwork.
Looking at a family portrait, Gao Hai admitted it was his most cherished work, prompting Wu Xiaoci to propose they move overseas to start fresh. However, Gao Hai firmly stated that while paintings capture a moment, people change. He accused Wu Xiaoci of becoming increasingly unscrupulous, with Gao Hui beginning to mirror her behavior, and declared he could no longer live with her. He offered Wu Xiaoci full control over their property division if she agreed to the divorce.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoci instructed Gao Hai to write an agreement assigning all assets to him, claiming she valued love more than money and wanted to prove she was not motivated by self-interest. Gao Hai, after some thought, signed the agreement. Gao Hui, upon learning of the property division, confirmed to Wu Xiaoci that it was her idea, believing it necessary to control the narrative as Gao Jie would not relent.
She argued that divorcing Gao Hai was the only way to protect their reputations before the upcoming Saint Laurent competition, as Gao Jie might expose the plagiarism to the organizing committee. Reluctantly, Wu Xiaoci agreed and signed the divorce papers. At Peter Love, Gao Jie struggled to generate interest in their new custom wedding ring service, as most customers picking up flash sale necklaces quickly left. Just as she was losing hope, a customer expressed keen interest.
Gao Jie explained their philosophy of creating unique rings based on personal love stories, emphasizing sentiment over material value. Inspired by the customer's story of a shared passion for table tennis with his fiancée, Gao Jie found renewed creative energy and began sketching. Yu Zhi affirmed her talent, again reassuring her that he would manage her mother's issues. However, their peace was short-lived. Chen Pinzhen called Gao Jie, alerting her to Wu Xiaoci's social media posts.
Wu Xiaoci had accused Gao Hai of being heartless, demanding a divorce, threatening her for property, and slandering her with plagiarism claims. She had even posted a photo of Pan Yue, gaining public sympathy while subtly undermining Gao Hai's credibility regarding the plagiarism. Worried for Pan Yue's safety, Yu Zhi rushed Gao Jie to her mother.
Out with Gao Hai, Pan Yue was suddenly recognized and verbally abused by passersby, who echoed Wu Xiaoci's online narrative, mocking Pan Yue's mental state and dismissing the plagiarism claims. Overwhelmed and distressed, Pan Yue recalled traumatic memories, ran into the street, and collapsed, potentially suffering a concussion. In the hospital, Gao Jie confronted Gao Hai, demanding to know why Wu Xiaoci possessed his handwritten property division.
Gao Hai explained Wu Xiaoci had dictated the terms, claiming they were still family. Enraged, Gao Jie vowed to hold someone accountable and stormed out, leaving Yu Zhi to comfort Gao Hai and Pan Yue. Meanwhile, President Ju presented Gao Hui with the application for the prestigious Saint Laurent International Jewelry Design Competition, expressing confidence in her after the recent shift in public opinion favoring Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hui.
Gao Hui, feeling vindicated, promised to use the competition to establish her own identity as a designer. Later, over dinner with Yu Yi, Gao Hui secretly accessed his phone to view Gao Jie’s designs, inwardly justifying her actions as a desperate necessity. Back at the hospital, Gao Jie sat by Pan Yue’s bedside, desperately wishing for her to awaken.
Gao Hai brought Pan Yue’s painting supplies, hoping they might stir her, but Gao Jie, in her anger, pushed him away, blaming him for Pan Yue’s suffering. Gao Hai left dejected. Chen Pinzhen reported that Pan Yue's old neighbors were willing to offer clarifying statements, but Gao Jie despaired that Pan Yue was unable to hear them. Just as Gao Jie was about to leave, Pan Yue suddenly woke up, crying.
The next day, at the Saint Laurent competition registration, Gao Jie confronted Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hui, publicly demanding the organizing committee revoke Wu Xiaoci’s past championship title. Yu Yi tried to mediate, suggesting the incident was likely orchestrated. Wu Xiaoci, confident, challenged Gao Jie to produce Pan Yue herself. To Wu Xiaoci's shock, Pan Yue was then wheeled in, speaking clearly and lucidly. Yu Yi quickly intervened, suggesting Yu Zhi take Pan Yue away, while a stunned and furious Wu Xiaoci and Gao Hui departed.
