Wenderella's Diary Episode 7 Recap
> Wenderella's Diary Recap
Shan Liang excitedly told Wen Rou that Xunmi's crisis was resolved and the company's performance had improved, urging her to buy back her previously sold items. Wen Rou, aware of his deception, feigned sorrow, claiming she could replace bags but not her precious design drafts. She insisted that his happiness was all that mattered, causing Shan Liang to feel even more remorseful. Meanwhile, Mo Yingchen tried to appease a still-angry Zou Jing with a "present."
He vaguely described it as a real, normal-sized, classic item that felt comfortable. Zou Jing, anticipating a designer bag, was disappointed to find it was a new mattress. Mo Yingchen justified his choice, saying that thoughtful spending on essentials like a good mattress was a true luxury. Zou Jing accused him of buying it for his own comfort, not hers.
Wen Rou discussed her decision to sell her "Red Dance Shoes" design with Han Qing, explaining that the design's time was limited and her new "white swan" concept would surpass it. Han Qing then asked what design she would promote next. Overhearing this, Zou Jing realized Wen Rou knew about Shan Liang's fake bankruptcy. Feeling they had conspired against her, Zou Jing asked Wen Rou to teach her how to make her husband as devoted as Shan Liang.
Wen Rou readily agreed and quickly posted a photo with Mo Yingchen and Zou Jing on Weibo, praising Mo Yingchen as an ideal husband who handled all household chores. This post quickly bolstered Mo Yingchen's reputation at work. Seeing Zou Jing sweeping, a guilt-ridden Mo Yingchen immediately offered to help her and promised to buy her a bag like the one in Wen Rou's post. Zou Jing was thrilled at the immediate success of Wen Rou's advice.
Later, at a bar, Su Ziguang found Shan Liang and asked about Wen Rou. Shan Liang, unaware that Wen Rou had already suspected his deceit, proudly stated that Wen Rou disliked such places and warned Su Ziguang to stop inquiring about her, proclaiming their renewed love. He even boasted that Wen Rou had sacrificed her "Red Dance Shoes" design for Xunmi during his financial troubles as proof of her sincerity.
Su Ziguang then revealed that Xunmi had no financial issues and that he had informed Wen Rou of this days ago, causing Shan Liang to realize Wen Rou had seen through his lie and used it to manipulate him. Su Ziguang predicted Shan Liang would rationalize it away. As Su Ziguang left, Wen Xin attempted to get his contact information, but he rudely rebuffed her, accusing her of trying to pick him up.
Su Ziguang called Wen Rou, informing her of his conversation with Shan Liang. Wen Rou panicked, fearing exposure. Han Qing attempted to console her, pointing out Shan Liang's flaws, such as his poor memory, inability to discern right from wrong, and his constant lowering of standards for Wen Rou. However, Wen Rou perceived this as criticism of herself. Upon returning home, Wen Rou found Shan Liang at the piano. Anticipating his anger, she immediately apologized.
Shan Liang, however, had misinterpreted the timeline, believing Wen Rou had sold her designs "before" discovering his lie. He felt deeply guilty for his deception, given her supposed sacrifice. Wen Rou quickly played along, confirming his version of events. Overwhelmed by self-reproach, Shan Liang declared he would sleep in the guest room as punishment. Han Qing urged Wen Rou to confess before the lie escalated, but Wen Rou decided to maintain the facade and act flawlessly.
Shortly after, Mo Yingchen called Wen Rou, proposing a collaboration with Luxbuy. Wen Rou initially refused, citing her conscience. However, Mo Yingchen later contacted Shan Liang, who encouraged Wen Rou to pursue her dreams, stating his previous deception was wrong and he wanted her to do what she loved. Shan Liang insisted on buying numerous new bags to fill her wardrobe for an upcoming live stream, wanting to publicly demonstrate his love for her.
In the following days, Shan Liang was uncharacteristically supportive, helping Wen Rou with her live stream and buying new bags. During "Mrs. Shan's Cloakroom 2" live broadcast, Wen Rou displayed the new bags. Commenters, including Wen Xin and Su Ziguang, pointed out that Xunmi was wealthy and questioned how Wen Rou could afford new bags after selling her designs, implying she knew Shan Liang's bankruptcy was fake.
Reading these comments, Shan Liang finally realized Wen Rou had known about his deception all along and had deliberately acted to gain his sympathy. Distraught, Shan Liang spontaneously added a cooking segment to the live stream, leading to the familiar bitter gourd juice ritual. He then confronted Wen Rou, asking when she had learned of his lie. Wen Rou confessed she knew he was lying "before" selling her design drafts.
Shan Liang silently drank the bitter gourd juice, his disappointment clear. In the live stream comments, Su Ziguang tried to get Wen Xin's contact info, but she again rejected him. Overwhelmed by Wen Rou's repeated deceptions, Shan Liang packed his bags and prepared to leave. Wen Rou tried to stop him, but he stated he could no longer tolerate her lies, even her fake relationship test results, and moved out.
Han Qing advised Wen Rou to be honest, but Wen Rou misunderstood, resorting to seductive tactics to win him back, which Shan Liang ignored. Meanwhile, online users exposed a bag from Wen Rou's "Mrs. Shan's Day" live stream as fake, dismantling her entire "rich socialite" persona. The fake bag was actually Zou Jing's, lent to Wen Rou. Upon learning her husband, Mo Yingchen, had given her a fake bag, Zou Jing was furious and left home.
Shan Liang, aware of these developments, remained outwardly calm, claiming they had nothing to do with him. A dejected Wen Rou left, unaware that Shan Liang was secretly orchestrating events via a Bluetooth headset. Zou Jing sought out Wen Rou, and together with Han Qing, they commiserated over their husbands. Shan Liang called Wen Rou, asking why she wasn't home, but she, still angry, hung up.
Facing a public relations nightmare, Wen Rou devised a solution: a joint authentication platform between Xunmi and Luxbuy. She explained to Mo Yingchen that Zou Jing desired affection and care, not just a bag, and his superficial gifts had caused her pain, using this to argue for the business collaboration. Wen Rou clarified that while their marital issues were private, the "double inspection activity" was a "win-win cooperation."
Mo Yingchen, initially surprised by Wen Rou's decisive action for Xunmi, agreed after learning Luxbuy would bear the main responsibility, marveling at her cunning. Wen Rou then held a live stream, confessing from her humble pre-marriage apartment. She admitted to being an ordinary "Cinderella" who had packaged herself to appear successful, but realized that constantly taking shortcuts ultimately blocked genuine paths. She acknowledged her audience's anger but emphasized that authenticity, not external value, was paramount.
She then announced the "double inspection activity": Xunmi would "authenticate boyfriends' love," and Luxbuy would "authenticate bags," reiterating that while not buying a bag doesn't mean a man doesn't love you, buying a fake one definitely does. Her audience was relieved. Shan Liang, watching, understood Wen Rou's strategic maneuver to protect Xunmi while subtly pushing Luxbuy into a more vulnerable position. Mo Yingchen later picked up Zou Jing, who was staying in Wen Rou's old apartment.
Though initially hesitant, Zou Jing, softening, returned home. Mo Yingchen explained he had kept the air conditioner off, enduring the heat himself, because he knew cold air caused her headaches, revealing his genuine care. He offered to buy her a new bag, to which she was deeply touched. Mo Yingchen, ever practical, then asked if she had brought back the expensive mattress.
