For several days in a row, Xing Yaoping would use receiving a big order as an excuse every time, and then left the old house to take care of Fei Yajuan. He didn’t know that his behavior had made Zeng Jianguo suspicious and followed him all the way to the hospital. Xing Yaoping served Fei Yajuan and drank the porridge, and opened the door of the ward with an empty thermos bucket. He was shocked to find Zeng Jianguo standing at the door with a solemn expression.
Zeng Jianguo asked Xing Yaoping to tell all his children to go back to the old house for a meeting. Zeng Zhiting was worried that Fei Yajuan would secretly run to Xiao Zhai to take care of her. Zeng Zhiting took the initiative to apologize to Lao Zeng. Lao Zeng was so angry that she kept the secret to herself and asked about Fei Yajuan’s condition. Zeng Zhiting thinks how to get Zeng Zhiling to accept it for the present.
Old Zeng asked Zhiting to call Zhiling. As soon as she walked in, Zhiling found that Lao Zeng and her elder brother and sister were there, and she was a little surprised. Lao Zeng asked her to sit down and slowly told her that Fei Yajuan was back and was suffering from terminal cancer. Before Lao Zeng finished speaking, Zhiling stood up and said to Lao Zeng that she would not see Fei Yajuan, let alone recognize her as a mother.
Lao Zeng visited Fei Yajuan in the ward and hoped that she could recover from her illness. Fei Yajuan thought that her condition was retribution, and she might be gone one day. Lao Zeng comforted her to recover from her illness.
Zeng Zhidong asked Pang Wenjing to take a leave of absence to take care of Fei Yajuan, because Fei Yajuan was a part of her life that could not go back. Fei Yajuan and Lao Zeng divorced many years ago. It happened to be heavy rain on the day when she left home. There was only one person in the family, and it was rainy when her mother, Fan Liping, left home. Since then, I have been suffering from post-marriage phobia, so I didn’t have the courage to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau. Pang Wenjing was rather moved when she heard these words, and handed him the psychiatrist’s business card.
Lao Ni worried that Wang Yi had views on Lao Zeng and helped Lao Zeng to test Wang Yi. However, Wang Yi acted very generously, thinking that Lao Zeng was affectionate and righteous to his ex-wife, indicating that he had chosen the right person. Lao Ni immediately told Lao Zeng of the situation and helped him cook for Fei Yajuan.
After work, Pang Wenjing went to the bar to drink again. Zeng Zhidong saw Pang Wenjing who had finished overtime and took the initiative to chat with her. Pang Wenjing said that her assistant had asked for leave. The secretary was busy like a top, so she could only work overtime. Zeng Zhidong was embarrassed because he asked for leave. The two sat drinking together. Zeng Zhidong confessed how he felt when facing Fei Yajuan. As long as he contacted him, he would recall the bad scenes and wanted to escape every time.
Pang Wenjing envied him, because she also had someone she didn’t want to face, but she couldn’t avoid it. Before leaving, Pang Wenjing hoped that the person’s conscience would find that he would pay for herself. Zeng Zhidong immediately chased him out. In order to make her live comfortably, she was going to resign from President Cui. However, Pang Wenjing mentioned that her purpose of returning to China was to face him calmly, so she would prevent him from resigning. Pang Wenjing encouraged him to face Fei Yajuan bravely, just like she faced Zhidong bravely.
By the lake, Lao Zeng found Wang Yi to apologize and told her that he had been single for more than 20 years and he still didn’t want to take this step after thinking about it again and again. Although Wang Yi was disappointed in her heart, she understood Lao Zeng’s feelings, so she smiled and told Lao Zeng that they are still good friends and don’t break the contact. After Lao Zeng went back, he told Lao Ni of the situation, and Lao Ni returned the key to him in a fit of anger. Zeng Zhiting went to the training institution to visit Zeng Zhiling, and happened to meet Lao Ni. Zeng Zhiting became furious when she heard Lao Zeng’s name.
