Be With You Episode 15 Recap
> Be With You Recap
During Ji Mingzhao's school days, he was once bullied by Miss Liang, who messed up his desk with ink, taking advantage of the fact that Ji's family was not as wealthy as theirs and also hindering their business. Ji Mingzhao, not one to endure injustice, immediately smeared ink on Miss Liang's face. When she attempted to hit him, he preemptively slapped her, leading to a quick physical altercation where Ji Mingzhao sustained minor injuries. Dai Menghui and Liu Yungui, knowing about Ji Mingzhao's plight, decided to stand up for him. However, Miss Liang, relying on her family's business and numerous elder brothers, dismissively claimed she had struck first. A brawl ensued, and this time, Ji Mingzhao got more seriously injured.
Ji Mingxin, instead of sympathizing with Ji Mingzhao being bullied, mocked him for being weak in both literary and martial arts, calling him a useless person. Ji Mingzhao never forgot this mockery. In the current unnamed department store vote, they secured the fifteenth position. Ji Mingzhao aimed to surpass Ji Mingxin and become the fifth, redeeming himself. Ji Mingxin's target was to replace the Liang family in the first position. In her eyes, Ji Mingzhao was not ambitious.
Upon learning that people from the Liang family wanted to invest in Ji Mingzhao's unnamed department store, she refused, claiming she didn't need the money. However, they questioned if she wouldn't need money for the next month as well. Ji Mingzhao distributed silver notes to Meng Sanxi and Yan Sifang, each receiving forty taels, while Ye Wuzhi received one hundred and ten taels. She also granted them a day off. Meng Sanxi mocked the Liang family for flaunting their wealth, stating that only hell banknotes had denominations of one hundred thousand taels. Despite being frustrated, the Liang family couldn't do anything to Meng Sanxi.
Ji Mingzhao, eager for money, approached her wealthy friend Liu Yungui for a loan. Unfortunately, Liu Yungui had already borrowed the entire amount earlier that morning from his father, leaving Ji Mingzhao with nothing. Dai Menghui, eating plain noodles, pulled out a copper coin in front of Ji Mingzhao. It was a coin given to him by a child that morning. Ji Mingzhao sighed, realizing why people like the Liang family called their families fallen. Liu Yungui, weakly stating that he wasn't too poor, found himself facing hostility from Ji Mingzhao and Dai Menghui, who promptly started cooking nutritious porridge to confront the relatively wealthy Liu Yungui.
Desperate for money, Ji Mingzhao sought out her wealthy acquaintance Lao Fan. However, she was too late. Gu Nianjiu had already borrowed six thousand taels from Lao Fan. Disappointed, Ji Mingzhao turned her attention to Lao Ding. To her surprise, Lao Ding did have thirty thousand taels. Enthusiastically listening to Lao Ding's explanation of where he hid the silver, Ji Mingzhao's eyes lit up. Unfortunately, Lao Ding had forgotten which mountain he hid it in. Ji Mingzhao's spirit instantly deflated as she walked aimlessly in the courtyard. Just then, Ye Wuzhi, who had recently been released from prison, embraced Ji Mingzhao, seeking strength from her. Ji Mingzhao learned that Ye Wuzhi had escaped imprisonment due to overtime and persuaded her not to insist on taking a break in the future.
