Xin Jialiang, thrilled by the successful proposal, immediately shared the news with his mother Chen Dejing and asked her to arrange a meeting between both families to discuss the wedding. Chen Dejing had initially wanted him to marry the daughter of her business partner, President Zhang, but since Xin Jialiang insisted on marrying Mai Chenghuan, she had no choice but to relent. His sister Xin Jiali also strongly objected.
She had once obeyed her parents and married Luo Mingli, but due to emotional incompatibility, their marriage was cold. Chen Dejing advised her not to interfere. Xin Jiali then suggested holding the meeting at a luxurious restaurant with the most expensive dishes to give the Mai family from the alley a strong impression. Early the next morning, Mai Chenghuan went to report to Yao Zhiming, apologizing repeatedly.
She was caught off guard by Xin Jialiang’s sudden proposal at the May 20th event, which disrupted the original plan. However, Yao Zhiming didn’t blame her. The proposal had brought great publicity to the hotel. Mai Chenghuan made some desserts by hand and gave them to Yao Zhiming. He visited Grandma Mai at the nursing home, brought her some clothes, and shared the desserts.
Grandma immediately recognized that they were made by Mai Chenghuan and urged him to treat her well. Yao Zhiming promised he would.  Chen Dejing confirmed the time and place for the family meeting and informed Xin Jialiang, who promptly messaged Mai Chenghuan. Liu Wanyu didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the Xin family, so she rummaged through her wardrobe for something suitable. Mai Chenghuan offered to buy her a new outfit, which delighted her.
Professor Cheng wanted to take Mai Chengzao to meet a famous lawyer who had just returned from abroad—an opportunity that would affect his future. But since he had to accompany the family to meet the Xin family, he explained the situation to the professor. Liu Wanyu asked Mai Laitian to borrow a car from Yao Zhiming. Reluctantly, he agreed to ask Deputy Director Zhang Peisheng. Mai Chenghuan asked Mao Mao to accompany Liu Wanyu to shop.
Mao Mao advised her to think carefully about her relationship. The stain remover pen, Bluetooth headset, and power bank Mai Chenghuan carried were all for emergencies involving Xin Jialiang. Mao Mao was worried that he couldn’t support a family, but Mai Chenghuan said love was enough. Mai Laitian was driving Yao Zhiming and Zhang Peisheng to the office when Liu Wanyu kept calling. Since he couldn’t use his hands, he switched to speakerphone.
She was urging him to borrow a car from Zhang Peisheng and brought up how he once saved Zhang. Embarrassed, Mai Laitian quickly hung up and explained to Zhang Peisheng that Liu Wanyu just wanted to maintain appearances. Yao Zhiming offered him a day off on the weekend to be with his family. Zhang Peisheng asked Yao Zhiming to choose a gift for the Mai family.
Professor Cheng, not wanting Mai Chengzao to miss the opportunity, encouraged him to visit the returning lawyer. Mai Chengzao found him and expressed interest in working for the prestigious Fangyuan Law Firm. The senior agreed to take his resume and promised to recommend him. Mao Mao and Mai Chenghuan helped Liu Wanyu pick out a cheongsam. She liked it but hesitated due to the price. Mao Mao lied about having a coupon, and Liu Wanyu finally accepted.
When Mai Chenghuan went to pay, she ran into Yao Zhiming, who was there to buy a gift. He congratulated her, and she promised to continue working hard after marriage. He chose a luxury watch as a present. Mai Chengzao arrived and joined them for lunch. Mao Mao heard that Mai Laitian hadn’t borrowed a car and offered hers for the meeting. Mai Chengzao invited Mao Mao to join, but Liu Wanyu found it inappropriate.
Mao Mao used an excuse to avoid it and asked him to go to the garage with her. Feeling bad, he kept apologizing, but Mao Mao didn’t mind. He was developing feelings for her and asked about her views on relationships. Mao Mao wanted passionate love but didn’t want to marry again.  The weekend was approaching. Liu Wanyu, dressed in her cheongsam, admired herself in the mirror.
Mai Laitian polished his shoes and sighed at how fast time flies—their daughter was about to get married. Liu Wanyu felt the same. Overhearing this, Mai Chenghuan felt bittersweet. She couldn’t sleep and went to chat with Mai Chengzao. He had just received a message that his resume had been rejected by the law firm. Though disappointed, he kept his spirits up and had a heart-to-heart with his sister.
Mai Laitian, trying on his new suit, accidentally ripped his pants, making the whole family laugh. Chen Dejing brought Xin Jialiang and Xin Jiali to the restaurant and called to remind Xin Zhishan not to be late. He was annoyed, and his secretary massaged his temples as he waited. The Mai family of four arrived early. Xin Jialiang, Xin Jiali, and Chen Dejing followed shortly. Liu Wanyu greeted Xin Jiali warmly, but Xin Jiali responded coldly.
