Yao Zhiming was suddenly hospitalized due to kidney stones. Mai Chenghuan took meticulous care of his daily life. She learned about his unfortunate background: his father abandoned his mother, and his mother abandoned him. Later, his father ended up in jail, and his mother died in an accident while seeking a boyfriend. The only relative Yao Zhiming had was Chen Shuzhen. Mai Chenghuan felt deep sympathy for him. Thanks to Mai Chenghuan's attentive care, Yao Zhiming quickly recovered and was discharged.

The resort hotel manager personally came to see him off, expressing special thanks to Mai Chenghuan for her suggestions, which the hotel had already implemented thoroughly. Yao Zhiming also agreed to let the employees stay and continue working. Mai Chenghuan was very happy, surprised that Yao Zhiming had become so warm-hearted in just a few days. Chen Shuzhen felt deeply comforted seeing the two of them chatting and getting along harmoniously.

Mai Chenghuan ran into Zhu Baoqiao in the apartment and learned that she lived on the fourth floor. Zhu Baoqiao greeted her warmly, and Mai Chenghuan could only force a smile and respond awkwardly. Manager Zhang called to ask Mai Chenghuan to handle a problem for Zhu Baoqiao, the owner of unit 416. Mai Chenghuan hurried upstairs and happened to witness Zhu Baoqiao sending Xin Zhishan off.

The two were being affectionate in the hallway, which made Mai Chenghuan feel very awkward, and she quickly turned to take the elevator. Yao Zhiming happened to be in the elevator and noticed something was off with Mai Chenghuan, who tried hard to hide it. Zhu Baoqiao saw Xin Zhishan to the underground garage, repeatedly promising that she would never be affectionate with him in public again.

Xin Zhishan suspected that Zhu Baoqiao deliberately moved there to let Mai Chenghuan see their affair. Zhu Baoqiao tried to defend herself with various excuses, and Xin Zhishan didn’t ask further. Zhu Baoqiao prepared a lavish meal and invited Mai Chenghuan again. Mai Chenghuan guessed that Zhu Baoqiao had intentionally let her see their affair. Zhu Baoqiao admitted it—she wanted to use this method to pressure Xin Zhishan into marrying her as soon as possible.

Mai Chenghuan reminded her not to take shortcuts and to do things steadily. Zhu Baoqiao wouldn’t listen and even asked Mai Chenghuan to help keep it a secret, otherwise Xin Zhishan would be kicked out with nothing. Mai Chenghuan looked down on her. Xin Zhishan sent someone to deliver a bank card to Mai Chenghuan, asking her to keep his relationship with Zhu Baoqiao secret. Mai Chenghuan firmly refused to accept it.

Xin Zhishan came home on time for dinner and forced Xin Jialiang to break up with Mai Chenghuan for good. Xin Jialiang was not convinced and argued back, and the father and son ended up in a heated quarrel. Zhu Baoqiao messaged Xin Zhishan, claiming she had settled things with Mai Chenghuan. Xin Zhishan immediately decided to come home for dinner every day from now on. Chen Dejing was surprised but didn’t ask questions.

Yao Zhiming brought supper to Mai Chenghuan and reminded her not to interfere in Xin Zhishan and Zhu Baoqiao’s affair. Mai Chenghuan wasn’t interested and took the opportunity to ask Yao Zhiming to sign the lease renewal. Liu Wanyu suddenly called Mai Chenghuan—the water pipe at home burst. Mai Chenghuan immediately called Mai Chengzao, who had to request leave from lawyer Liu Yuxian. Liu Yuxian, annoyed, told him to finish the legal letter at home.

Mai Chenghuan rushed home to find the place flooded. She helped Liu Wanyu clean up the water. While Mai Laitian repaired the pipes, he blamed Liu Wanyu. Mai Chengzao and Maomao arrived in time with a repairman. Seeing the mess, Maomao advised Mai Chenghuan to take her parents to a hotel. Liu Wanyu was reluctant, but the house was unlivable, so she and Mai Laitian followed Mai Chenghuan to the hotel. Liu Wanyu and Mai Laitian kept blaming each other.

Mai Chenghuan and Maomao took turns calming them down and finally settled them. Mai Chenghuan told Maomao to go home and rest, while she went back to the old house with Mai Chengzao to continue cleaning up the water. Mai Chengzao’s computer had been damaged by the water, and he hadn’t backed up the data. Mai Chenghuan promised to buy him a new one. Mai Chengzao found a box of childhood toys, which triggered many memories for Mai Chenghuan.

As they worked, the siblings reminisced about the past and felt warmth in their hearts. Due to the burst pipes in the Mai home, water flowed into the downstairs neighbor’s unit. The downstairs neighbor demanded compensation. Mai Chenghuan promised to coordinate with the neighborhood committee and provide a satisfactory response as soon as possible. The repairman gave a rough estimate: the house would take more than two months to repair and cost 100,000 yuan. Liu Wanyu was stunned.

Mai Chenghuan wanted to take this opportunity to properly renovate the house and advised Liu Wanyu to rent a place, but Liu Wanyu firmly refused. Yao Zhiming offered to let Mai Chenghuan and her parents stay at the apartment at the lowest rate. Mai Chenghuan couldn’t afford it. Yao Zhiming wanted to help but was worried she wouldn’t accept, so he discussed it with He Dong and asked Xue Li to arrange a renovation team for Mai Chenghuan.

Mai Chengzao stayed up late to send the legal letter to Liu Yuxian, but Liu Yuxian deliberately made things difficult, claiming the client had changed their requirements and using this as an excuse to cancel all of Mai Chengzao’s cases. Unconvinced, Mai Chengzao went to Luo Mingli to complain and asked to be transferred to another team. Luo Mingli refused—he only kept Mai Chengzao on account of the Xin family.

When Mai Chengzao asked to settle his salary, Luo Mingli not only refused but accused him of lying to avoid overtime. Unable to bear it any longer, Mai Chengzao resigned on the spot. A senior colleague witnessed everything. He knew Mai Chengzao had been wronged but didn’t have the power to intervene, so he quietly encouraged him.
