Spoiler Alert
Episode 19 Recap: France, Family Feuds, and Shady Boyfriends
Xiaoyuan Knows When to Fold
Xiaoyuan planned to join Tan Siting on her trip to find her father. He even bought a ticket. Then he saw Feng Rui at the station. He realized he was the third wheel. He returned his ticket immediately.
He channeled that heartbreak into work. He spent days at the office coding his game software. The hard work paid off. His game hit number one on the download charts. He wanted to share the win. He texted Tan Siting first. He asked her to grab dinner whenever she got free.
The Grandma Problem
Tan Siting went to pick up Lele from school. She just wanted some fun time with her son. Gao Hui had other plans. She showed up at the school gate like a hawk. She lectured Lele about missing online classes. Tan Siting saw exactly what Gao Hui was doing. She didn't want a scene. She told Lele to go home and study.
Lele is a smart kid. He used his smartwatch to call his mom later. He gave her the intel on the house. He told her about his dad breaking up with Auntie Wen. Lele admitted he was sad. But he respects his dad's choice. Tan Siting felt a huge weight lift. She worried the breakup would hurt Lele. He seems fine.
Feng Rui called her shortly after. Tan Siting knows Gao Hui will never accept them here. She made a bold move. She asked Feng Rui to move to France with her.
Packing Up and Moving On
Feng Rui didn't hesitate. He knows staying in the country means endless drama. He agreed to the France plan. He is serious about this. He plans to move his winery business overseas. He even started arranging the staff transfer.
Tan Siting told her best friend Shu Han the news. They are back together. Shu Han was happy for her. She also warned Tan Siting to watch her back. Gao Hui is still a threat.
Meanwhile, Wen Peiyan faced the music at work. Her colleagues were gossiping about the canceled wedding. She shut it down. She announced she isn't getting married. She went to see Tan Siting to get the full story. Tan Siting explained the past. Wen Peiyan finally got it. She realized she never stood a chance with Feng Rui. She accepted it with grace. She even returned the family heirloom necklace to Gao Hui.
Gao Hui Loses It
Gao Hui went to Feng Rui's company to snoop. Her son wasn't there. She chatted with the staff instead. They spilled the beans about the international expansion. Gao Hui was furious. She already hated Tan Siting because of her father's past. Now she thinks Tan Siting is stealing her son and taking him to another continent. The grudge just got deeper.
The Sketchy Boyfriend
Shu Han hosted a dinner. She wanted Tan Siting and Xiaoyuan to meet her boyfriend, Wu Zuhao. He is a wealthy, smooth talker. Xiaoyuan didn't buy it. He disliked the guy immediately.
Xiaoyuan found it strange that Shu Han got a project manager job so easily. She has zero experience in construction. She used to just stay home. Xiaoyuan grilled Wu Zuhao about land permits. Wu Zuhao dodged the question. He claimed a friend handled the paperwork. He quickly changed the subject to "cultural creativity."
Tan Siting didn't catch the red flags. She doesn't know business. She just wants Shu Han to be happy. Xiaoyuan remains suspicious.
