> Stay With Me Recap
Chen Yidu discovered that Chairman Huo was feigning illness to pressure Li Weiwei into marrying Huo Xiao. He confronted Li Weiwei with this truth, revealing that her "dear Uncle Huo" was not ill and had colluded with Huo Xiao, using a fabricated sickness to gain her sympathy and force her compliance. Unaware of his father's deception, Huo Xiao vehemently denied Chen Yidu's accusations, believing Chen Yidu was lying out of jealousy.
The argument quickly escalated into a physical fight between the two men. Later, at home, Huo Xiao caught a maid discarding his father's medicine. The maid revealed that Mr. Huo had instructed her to throw it away, stating he was not sick. Huo Xiao angrily confronted his father, who casually admitted to the deception, remarking that there was nothing wrong with a man using tactics to achieve his desires.
Huo Xiao countered that he didn't merely want to "possess" Li Weiwei, but wished for her to be truly happy. Huo Xiao sought out Li Weiwei and confessed his father's deception, apologizing and pleading for her forgiveness. Li Weiwei expressed profound disappointment, telling him that he was once the person she trusted most, but that trust was now irrevocably broken. Huo Xiao then offered to publicly rescind their marriage agreement, promising to provide his father with a suitable explanation.
Despite the freedom from the engagement, Li Weiwei felt no joy, having lost a childhood friend and the person she once trusted and relied on the most. Meanwhile, Huo Xiao informed his father of his decision to break off the engagement with Li Weiwei, explaining that holding onto "a heart that has already left you" was not love but obsession.
His father eventually accepted this, instructing Huo Xiao to maintain distance from Li Weiwei, limiting their interaction to professional matters, and to let go of her in his heart. Ou Ye expressed concern that Li Weiwei might leave the company now that her engagement was broken. He highlighted the critical importance of the upcoming Wedding Expo and Ms. Cotillard's inspection, which would determine who would enter Fontaine Bleue Department Store.
He noted that Li Weiwei's departure would severely hinder their work. However, Li Weiwei then demonstrated with her actions that she would not leave the company. She vowed to lead Ling Long in a fair competition against Chen Yidu. The intense preparations for the Wedding Expo created numerous opportunities for Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu to interact. During this time, Chen Yidu successfully sought Li Weiwei's forgiveness, and their relationship rekindled into a tender and loving state.
Separately, Secretary Wang discovered a match between handwriting on company reimbursement forms and a suspicious express envelope, identifying Kang Xing as the prime suspect. His investigation revealed Kang Xing had been in Paris during a major fashion show and used the French name Lucien. Huo Xiao advised Secretary Wang to hold off on any immediate action. At the Wedding Expo, D. U.' s bridal show was spectacular, garnering significant attention and prospective clients.
However, Li Weiwei took the stage to announce Ling Long's unique event. She invited female audience members to become Ling Long models, promising to create the most beautiful moments of their lives. The crowd erupted in excitement when a woman in a wheelchair appeared on stage, looking stunning in a Ling Long wedding gown. Li Weiwei continued to experience a resurgence of past memories. When she encountered Dr. Li, her attending physician, he advised her to schedule a follow-up appointment.
Li Weiwei requested Chen Yidu to accompany her, but he appeared displeased by the suggestion. Meanwhile, Tiffany, having learned about Li Weiwei's amnesia from Leo, planned to publicly disclose it. She believed this revelation would force Li Weiwei out of the design world, giving D. U. an effortless victory in the competition for Fontaine Bleue Department Store. Despite Chen Yidu's attempts to intervene, Tiffany gathered the company's employees to make the announcement.
Fortunately, Leo swiftly intervened, kissing Tiffany to prevent her from speaking. Huo Xiao uncovered Kang Xing's allegiance to Mo Fan. However, Mo Fan proposed a partnership with Huo Xiao to collaboratively target Chen Yidu. As an incentive, Mo Fan presented Huo Xiao with evidence of Chen Yidu attempting to bribe board members. Later, Chen Yidu visited his father's grave, placing flowers. Shortly after he left, Mo Fan appeared, contemptuously crushing the flowers underfoot.
He spoke menacingly to the tombstone, vowing that his own parents were killed and his family ruined by Chen Yidu's father, and now Chen Yidu's father should open his eyes and see how he would destroy his son, Chen Yidu.
