Yao Zhiming thought that Chen Shuzhen would leave the management and ownership of the Xing'anli Hotel to him, her biological grandson. Unexpectedly, she gave it to Mai Chenghuan, who had no blood ties to her. Before the lawyer could finish reading the will, Yao Zhiming left. The lawyer had no choice but to ask Mai Chenghuan to pass on the letter Chen Shuzhen had left for Yao Zhiming.

Mai Chenghuan was shocked after hearing the will—she didn’t even know the Xing'anli Hotel belonged to Chen Shuzhen. Zhang Peisheng, upon learning that Chen Shuzhen left the Xing'anli Hotel to Mai Chenghuan, immediately called Yao Zhiming to remind him not to forget their agreement. Distraught, Yao Zhiming went fishing in the rain. He Dong advised him to return to Switzerland.

Remembering Chen Shuzhen’s dying wish for him to learn from Mai Chenghuan, he decided to stay and try every means to get the hotel back. The relocation plan for the alleyway was finally finalized. After careful consideration, Mai Laitian decided to use the compensation to buy a house in the suburbs. Liu Wanyu was very comfortable living in the garden house and did not want to move.

He Dong suggested that Yao Zhiming exchange the old garden house for the Xing'anli Hotel, and Yao Zhiming suddenly saw a new possibility. The law office notified Mai Chenghuan to go to the hotel to handle the handover. Mao Mao insisted on going with her. Mai Chenghuan had often accompanied Chen Shuzhen to dine at Xing'anli, never expecting that the hotel actually belonged to her. She suspected that Yao Zhiming already knew the truth beforehand.

Housekeeper Cui, who had worked with Chen Shuzhen for many years and was deeply loyal to her, personally gave Mai Chenghuan a tour of the hotel, handed over the account books and hotel keys. Faced with such a large hotel to manage, Mai Chenghuan felt lost. Housekeeper Cui promised to do his best to assist her. Yao Zhiming came straight to the point and proposed exchanging the garden house for the Xing'anli Hotel.

Mai Chenghuan guessed that his return to China was for the hotel. His efforts to get close to her and even taking her and Chen Shuzhen on a mountain retreat were all for this. Yao Zhiming admitted this and explained that he believed Chen Shuzhen’s management style was outdated and he wanted to make a thorough change. Mai Chenghuan firmly refused, unwilling to go against Chen Shuzhen’s final wishes, and handed him the letter left by Chen Shuzhen.

She had anticipated that Yao Zhiming would be unhappy and hoped he would support Mai Chenghuan. Mai Chenghuan read through the hotel’s account books and found that the operation was indeed not good, causing her some concern. Zhang Peisheng, seeing that Yao Zhiming was hesitating, sent someone to the Xing'anli Hotel with a gift, intending to intimidate Mai Chenghuan. Mao Mao tried to hang a photo on the wall but almost fell due to unsteady footing.

Mai Chengzao arrived just in time to catch her. Song Huaimin happened to visit Mao Mao and took a photo of the scene. He accused Mao Mao and Mai Chengzao of having an affair, mocking Mao Mao and insulting Mai Chengzao. Mai Chengzao stood up for Mao Mao and threatened legal action against Song Huaimin, forcing him to leave in frustration. Mao Mao didn’t want to implicate Mai Chengzao.

Mai Chengzao confessed his feelings to her, admitting he had liked her for a long time. Mao Mao was caught off guard by his sudden confession and quickly excused herself to take inventory. Liu Wanyu’s old house was about to be demolished. Meanwhile, Mai Chenghuan had taken over the Xing'anli Hotel and happily returned home for dinner. Liu Wanyu was so happy she even smiled in her dreams.

Hearing about Liu Wanyu’s good fortune, her elder sister and younger brother called one after another to congratulate her. Liu Wanyu welcomed them to visit Shanghai and invited them to stay at the Xing'anli Hotel. Mai Laitian reminded her to keep a low profile. In high spirits, Liu Wanyu took Mai Laitian to the hotel to check the food quality. She was extremely picky and took detailed notes in a small notebook.

She asked Housekeeper Cui to summon the head chef for questioning. Housekeeper Cui had no choice but to comply and secretly called Mai Chenghuan. Liu Wanyu nitpicked the head chef’s work, which made him very unhappy—he had always done things his way. Mai Chenghuan hurried over to mediate and finally persuaded Liu Wanyu to leave.

She also asked Liu Wanyu to move out of the garden house as soon as possible, since it had been left to Yao Zhiming by Chen Shuzhen.
