> Resumos de Loving Strangers
Zhou Yu'an intercepts Yijun’s car and plays a recording that exposes Gu Chen’s true nature. In the audio, Gu Chen coldly explains that he targets married women because they are "safe" and won't risk exposing the affair. He further notes that breaking up while a woman is still infatuated is a tactical mistake. Urging Yijun to wake up before her life is ruined, Zhou Yu'an leaves the shaken woman behind.
Driven by a need for the truth, Yijun drives to the campsite where Gu Chen claimed to be with the Chairman, only to find it deserted, confirming his lies. Meanwhile, Jiaqi’s mother stops by their home to leave homemade pear soup on the door handle. When she calls Yijun with genuine motherly concern about her health, Yijun struggles to suppress her tears, overwhelmed by the contrast between her mother-in-law’s warmth and Gu Chen’s betrayal.
Elsewhere, Zhou Yu'an meets Chen Ren to settle her debt. He accepts the money but insults her, suspecting she found a wealthy benefactor, and orders his men to tail her. After hearing through her surveillance device that Jiaqi is at their usual cafeteria, Zhou Yu'an rushes to join him. Chen Ren watches them from a distance, consumed by possessive jealousy. Inside, Jiaqi and Zhou Yu'an share a deep conversation. Jiaqi mentions her resume, which lists running as her only specialty.
Zhou Yu'an explains that running allows her to feel like her true self, even as she feels she is disappearing. They reflect on the "cycles" of life and a friend of Jiaqi’s who vanished in the Spanish desert to escape his burdens. Their talk turns to medicine; Jiaqi notes that while people seek "magic cures," healing usually comes from the body's own resilience.
He shares the story of metformin—once a toxic grass for livestock that became a lifesaver for diabetics—suggesting that a "wrong" life path can still lead to hope. Before leaving, Jiaqi packs a meal for Zhou Yu'an’s grandmother, and their walk home strengthens their mutual understanding. At the Jiang household, Jiaqi’s mother cleans the house in preparation for her birthday and treats Chu Dan with the affection of a daughter. When Jiaqi returns home, he finds Yijun in visible distress.
Though she blames work, Jiaqi senses a deeper issue but chooses not to press her. Meanwhile, the power struggle at Sen'an Pharma reaches a breaking point. With the Chairman abstaining from the upcoming CEO vote, Gu Chen must secure a majority to keep his position. An opposing faction, seeking to avenge former executives Gu Chen pushed out, recruits Jiaqi to run for Vice GM.
Gu Chen tries to block the move by citing company "tradition," but Executive Vice GM Wang shuts him down, insisting that the official bylaws allow the recommendation. By the day of the birthday dinner, Yijun has stopped answering Gu Chen’s calls, leaving him frantic. She buys flowers and a cake, putting on a brave face for the family celebration. As Gu Chen bombards her with desperate messages, Yijun finally sends a chilling reply: she knows he wasn't at the campsite.
While Gu Chen begs for a chance to explain, Yijun ignores him to focus on the dinner. The atmosphere at the gathering is festive, with the family securing a parking spot for Yijun and preparing a special meal. Despite the warmth of the celebration, Jiaqi remains observant, noting Yijun’s constant preoccupation with her phone as she prepares to confront the collapse of her secret life.
