She and Her Perfect Husband Episode 31 Recap
> She and Her Perfect Husband Recap
Tao Junhui brought Wu Fei to his office and explained to her that a strategy meant to avoid mistakes could lead to uncontrollable consequences. It was also for the benefit of their client He Dongna. They currently had no evidence, and being overly hasty would only cause bigger problems. For that reason, Tao Junhui pointed out that the third-party witness suggested by Wu Fei—President Duan—had a questionable character, which was well known in the industry.
If they proceeded with a lawsuit, it would be an unfavorable situation for them, and settling out of court would be best. Tang Yihui called in He Dongna to discuss the case. He Dongna insisted on not accepting any form of settlement, even if Tao Junhui produced surveillance footage from the Tianhang Hotel. She still refused reconciliation and insisted on filing the lawsuit immediately.
She also said it wasn’t her who wanted to sue; it was Tianhang Hotel who insisted on going to court. Old Qiao told Wang Jason all about Qin Shi’s work and family situation, which made Qin Shi very troubled. Old Qiao believed Wang Jason was an ally, especially since he was evaluating Cheng & Hui for a potential investment. But Qin Shi said the law firm might not even take on He Dongna’s case, and Mr.
Hu might not invest in Cheng & Hui either. Coincidentally, Wang Jason came to see Qin Shi. She originally wanted Old Qiao to continue dealing with him, but Wang Jason said this was a personal matter. After Old Qiao left, Wang Jason asked Qin Shi why she seemed hostile toward him and expressed a desire to have an honest conversation.
Qin Shi straightforwardly asked whether it was Qiu Jianxiang who had pushed Yang Hua to invest in Haibo Biotech and why, despite promising to testify for Yang Hua, all the blame was eventually shifted onto him. Wang Jason bluntly stated that even if they had protected Yang Hua back then, nothing would have changed. Fund managers like them relied on Qiu Jianxiang to survive, and safeguarding Qiu Jianxiang meant better career prospects.
Yang Hua failed so badly back then because he didn’t understand the unspoken rules of the industry. Though Wang Jason wasn’t proud of what they did, he wouldn’t have made a different choice. After reminiscing about the past, Wang Jason invited Qin Shi to dinner again, but she saw no need. Wang Jason couldn’t understand why Qin Shi would package someone unemployed as a career elite and lie about being married with children abroad.
He was confused and even planned to ask Tang Yihui about it. To avoid exposure, Qin Shi explained that he misunderstood her and reluctantly agreed to have dinner with him. Tao Junhui no longer wanted to represent He Dongna in the case, but Wu Fei refused to give up and told him that Tang Yihui had promised her that if Tao Junhui handled the case well, he could directly become a law firm partner.
Meanwhile, Tang Yihui revealed the deal between her and Wu Fei to Qin Shi and mentioned that Wu Fei had even asked Qin Shi to leave the firm. Though Tang Yihui didn’t want to lose such a valuable asset over He Dongna’s case, considering the backing of Mr. Wu behind He Dongna, she let Qin Shi interact with Wang Jason to deal with Wu Fei.
Tang Yihui also secretly informed Qin Shi that He Dongna was preparing for a divorce, so her case would not directly affect Mr. Hu’s investment in the firm. Yang Hua prepared to testify in court for Qiu Jianxiang. Qin Shi reminded him of important details and worried that he might be nervous on the stand. Yang Hua analyzed Qiu Jianxiang’s investment behavior based on the information he had and answered the judge’s questions.
When Qiu Jianxiang left, he expressed his gratitude to Yang Hua. Elsewhere, Yao Yao, representing the hotel side, was slandered and unable to provide solid evidence. When Li Dai and Yang Hua saw her appear in court, they helped her leave to avoid being surrounded by reporters at the courthouse entrance. Seeing Yao Yao again, Yang Hua couldn’t help but recall the past—Yao Yao had broken up with him because he was moving to Canada for work.
Yang Hua later accompanied Li Dai to the hospital to visit Qiu Jianxiang, who was admitted due to a heart attack, and informed her that he suspected Qiu Jianxiang might have Alzheimer’s. Qin Shi met Wang Jason alone. Under his questioning, she explained that she lied because of work. Wang Jason admired her ambition and capability, saying she didn’t need to settle for the 11th floor of Cheng & Hui.
Once his assessment of Cheng & Hui was done, his next assignment would be in Zurich, and he invited her to go with him. Qin Shi declined with a gentle excuse. The hospital confirmed that Qiu Jianxiang indeed had Alzheimer’s. Yang Hua had accurately guessed this from Qiu Jianxiang’s behavior. Yang Hua believed that for Qiu Jianxiang, work always came before family and children.
Qin Shi returned to the office in a fury after hearing from Wang Jason that Yang Hua was once almost Qiu Jianxiang’s son-in-law, and that back then, Yang Hua wasn’t single and even had a childhood sweetheart. This made her very angry. The Cheng & Hui team celebrated a major victory in He Dongna’s case. Li Dai told Qin Shi they had run into Yao Yao at the courthouse and that Tianhang Hotel had abandoned her. She also noted that Yang Hua and Yao Yao seemed to share a close connection.
