Step by Step Love Episode 21 Recap
> Step by Step Love Recap
Bu Ran was slapped by Director Hua on the spot. Director Hua accused her of single-handedly ruining the opportunity to help her parents out of their predicament. By the time Lu Cenyang chased after her, Bu Ran was nowhere to be found. Bu Ran was extremely depressed. The first place she wanted to go was to Lao Huoji to confide in Qin Xun, but she stopped at the entrance.
Qin Xun was not her boyfriend, and she couldn't let him bear everything. Thinking of this, Bu Ran turned around and left Lao Huoji. This scene was seen by Qin Xun. Bu Ran had nowhere to go. Finally, she came to the welfare home. Playing with the children made her temporarily forget her troubles. Qin Xun guessed she might come here, so he followed her to the welfare home. Qin Xun asked her what exactly happened.
Bu Ran didn't admit she was bothered, but Qin Xun still guessed it must be related to Lu Cenyang. Bu Ran said that if he really wanted to help, he should help her investigate who leaked Pinshang's plan to Yihua. The condition for the exchange was that she would ask her mother to cook him a meal of sweet and sour pork ribs. When Bu Ran returned home, she found Lu Cenyang's car parked at her door.
She tiptoed over to listen in and learned that Lu Cenyang had come specifically to find her, and that he and Yi Minde had resolved their conflict long ago. Back then, Yi Minde advocated for Yihua and Pinshang to merge to counter the industry crisis, but some people in Yihua with ulterior motives used this to their advantage, forcing Lu Mingyuan to comply with harsh conditions.
Yi Minde resigned in anger, hoping this would make the people at Yihua stop, but the result was Lu Mingyuan jumping to his death. Lu Cenyang expressed his absolute trust in Bu Ran and also said he would not let Bu Ran suffer any more grievances in the future. It was just that he couldn't find Bu Ran now, which was why he asked Yi Minde and his wife for help.
After hearing this from outside the window, Bu Ran's heart was instantly relieved of its vexation. At this moment, Qin Xun called. Although he hadn't investigated who leaked the plan, based on his professional intuition, even though Carry had resigned, she had helped Yihua before, and it was possible that someone who was close to Carry previously had replaced her. Bu Ran agreed wholeheartedly. Returning to Pinshang, Bu Ran heard Xiao Yang spreading rumors about her behind her back.
So, she confronted Xiao Yang in person and exposed her. Xiao Yang was the biggest suspect for leaking the plan. Secretary Yao (Yao Lefei) stepped forward and chased everyone away. Her attitude towards Bu Ran also became unfriendly, and she directly stated her view that she just didn't want the Yi family members to stay at Pinshang.
It turned out that the person who leaked the plan was indeed Xiao Yang, but Secretary Yao (Yao Lefei) tacitly approved and reminded her, which allowed Xiao Yang to steal Xiao Ran's (Bu Ran's) plan. This is how Secretary Yao (Yao Lefei) and Chen Manni came up with another set of plans based on Bu Ran's design. Yi Mincai's repeated unfavorable actions made Director Hua lose patience with him.
Meng Kexin also replaced him as the president of Yihua, and Yi Mincai could only become the office director. Xiao Yang called Yi Mincai to demand payment. The scene of their transaction was caught by Lu Cenyang. He didn't want to escalate the matter and only made two demands: first, that Yi Mincai stop bothering Yi Minde's family, and second, that he serve as a witness to explain the facts to Bu Ran.
Bu Ran resolved her misunderstanding with Lu Cenyang, and the two reconciled. Lu Cenyang took Bu Ran to a fishing stall to relax. After this incident, their relationship progressed further. Yi Mincai was unwilling to accept failure. He instigated Yi Zihe to create trouble for Lu Cenyang, which would also be beneficial for him to pursue Secretary Yao (Yao Lefei). The idea he suggested was to find people to damage the old alley renovation project, causing trouble for Pinshang.
Lu Cenyang took Bu Ran to do crisis public relations. He asked Aunt Wang to prepare a table of food and drinks, planning to have a good discussion with those who were finding fault. Since Bu Ran had poor alcohol tolerance, she could only be his driver. Bu Ran used her advantage as a designer and silenced those fault-finders with her innovative perspective. At this moment, Lu Cenyang received a call from Secretary Yao (Yao Lefei).
She opened her mouth and called him "Gege" (older brother). Lu Cenyang was very excited, which meant that Lu Siqi had recovered her memory. He was eager to rush to the hospital, but those people didn't want him to leave. Bu Ran had no choice but to step forward and say that she would represent Pinshang and have a few drinks with them.
