Lin Shuang ran into Gu Xu at the hospital and only then found out that her father had accidentally broken his leg while cleaning. Coincidentally, he was also hospitalized at this same hospital. Without saying a word, Lin Shuang went to visit her father and complained that her parents hadn't told her about it in advance. Her father felt very sorry for Lin Shuang. She was already exhausted from taking care of Guoguo and Wei Ming every day, and on top of that, her in-laws, who were not easy to deal with, didn't want to burden Lin Shuang any further.

Wei Ming suddenly called Lin Shuang to blame her for not accompanying her father-in-law for a gastroscopy. Lin Shuang had to explain her father's accident. Gu Xu was Lin Shuang's father's proud disciple. He had always considered Lin Shuang as a role model in academics. Seeing Lin Shuang's current situation, he felt sorry for her. Since college, he had considered Lin Shuang his strongest competitor, and he had returned to China this time hoping to compete with her. He hadn't expected Lin Shuang to become a full-time housewife, and he regretted it.

Wei Ming hurriedly arrived at the hospital and saw a luxury car in the parking lot. Curious about the owner of the car, Wei Ming went to visit his father-in-law. Upon entering, he saw Gu Xu cutting fruits for his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law praised Gu Xu repeatedly. The three of them were happily chatting and laughing, which made Wei Ming feel a pang of jealousy. Wei Ming inquired about when Gu Xu would return to the United States. Gu Xu had sold his company in the United States and planned to develop it in Jiangzhou. Wei Ming only learned downstairs that the luxury car belonged to Gu Xu, which made him even more envious.

Wei Ming dropped Lin Shuang off at the hospital and asked her to apologize to his parents first. He made an excuse about needing to return to the company for overtime work and drove away. Lin Shuang knew Wei Ming was avoiding something but didn't want to confront him. She returned home feeling unhappy. Her mother-in-law ordered her around, and she couldn't help but think back to when she had resigned from her job to become a full-time housewife. Her parents had strongly opposed it, but Lin Shuang had willingly sacrificed for her family. Now, she regretted it.

Lin Shuang visited her father at the hospital, but he didn't want to burden her, so he persuaded her to leave. Lin Shuang took a ride-sharing car and learned from the driver that the internet giant Panshi Company was hiring. She immediately took her resume to the interview. The interviewer explicitly stated that they were only hiring recent graduates, but Lin Shuang promised to learn from younger colleagues. They didn't listen and rejected her. Lin Shuang, in her haste, left her resume in the bathroom.

Panshi Company hired Gu Xu as CEO with a generous offer. He officially took office today and heard employees gossiping about the company appointing an outsider as CEO. Today was the day Lin Shuang's father was discharged from the hospital. Lin Shuang called Wei Ming to pick them up, but Wei Ming made an excuse about a meeting and couldn't make it. Lin Shuang was about to take a taxi home when Gu Xu happened to come to the hospital to visit her father. He offered to take them home and even carried Lin Shuang's father upstairs.

Feng Kai had his heart set on becoming vice president. He formed alliances within the company, and Wei Ming, not wanting to be outdone, decided to organize a team-building event with his department over the weekend. The theme of the event was a family day, and he specifically instructed Mi Xue not to invite Jiang Xi, who was unmarried. He converted the event funds into 2800 yuan in cash and gave it to her. Colleagues speculated that Jiang Xi had offended Wei Ming, and they talked about her behind her back.

Jiang Xi confronted Wei Ming about it, but Wei Ming gave her a vague excuse to brush her off. Jiang Xi was frustrated and decided to vent at the gym. Lin Shuang could see that Jiang Xi was troubled and advised her not to worry. Wei Ming organized this family-themed team-building event to present himself as a good husband and father in front of his colleagues. If his affair with Jiang Xi were exposed, everyone would blame her. Lin Shuang suggested that Jiang Xi cooperate with her to expose Wei Ming's ugly side, but Jiang Xi refused again.

Today was the weekend, and Wei Ming was supposed to take Lin Shuang and Guoguo to the team-building event. He bought a bouquet of flowers to apologize to Jiang Xi and promised to make it up to her. Before leaving, Lin Shuang sent a message to Jiang Xi, asking her to come to the event to test Wei Ming's feelings for her. Jiang Xi remained unmoved. Jiang Xi's mother called and urged her to send money home, which annoyed Jiang Xi. She decided to test Wei Ming.

The team-building event officially began, and Wei Ming was very attentive to Guoguo and Lin Shuang. They participated in family games, and Wei Ming took extra care of Lin Shuang. She had to reluctantly cooperate with him. Guoguo didn't like wearing a princess dress and accidentally took a big fall. Lin Shuang quickly applied a band-aid to her wound. Wei Ming took Lin Shuang and Guoguo to the evening banquet, introducing Lin Shuang to his colleagues. Guoguo was uncomfortable in her princess dress, and Lin Shuang wanted to take her home first, but Wei Ming insisted on staying.

Wei Ming showered Lin Shuang with praise in front of Mr. Ling and Sister Wei at the banquet, calling her a virtuous wife. Sister Wei also praised him as a good husband and father. Jiang Xi arrived at the banquet in style, stunning everyone in attendance. Mi Xue told Lin Shuang that Wei Ming had informed Jiang Xi not to attend today's team-building event. Lin Shuang was puzzled, but Wei Ming desperately made excuses to cover up.

Jiang Xi waited for Wei Ming in their room, and when he arrived, he scolded her loudly and blamed her for coming there. Wei Ming publicly announced that their game was over.
