The next morning, Sun Toutou went to the antique shop where Ren Tianzhen sold the pendant yesterday. The shop was still closed, and Sun Toutou noticed that Linglan was also there. Both of them understood without saying a word, knowing why the other person appeared here.

Linglan asked the shop owner about the pendant Ren Tianzhen sold here yesterday. She was prepared to buy it back at the original price. The shop owner said that the item was sold last night, and even the surveillance cameras were broken, so they couldn't find it at all. Linglan felt that the shop owner was playing tricks and being dishonest, but she had no evidence, so she could only bear the loss silently.

Linglan returned home and kept spacing out. Ren Xinzheng noticed that something was wrong and asked what was going on. Linglan stuttered and said that it seemed like their child's chest badge was really lost. Ren Xinzheng finally understood that it must be Ren Tianzhen who had done something wrong. He angrily went to Ren Tianzhen's room and gave him a severe scolding. He punished Ren Tianzhen for being careless and losing things from a young age. The pendant was so important to him, yet he managed to lose it. He demanded to know where Ren Tianzhen went yesterday and where exactly the item was lost. Ren Xinzheng became angrier as he spoke, but Sun Toutou couldn't bear to let Ren Tianzhen and Ren Xinzheng ruin the Mid-Autumn Festival with such tension. She immediately stepped forward and whispered that she took Ren Tianzhen's belongings because she was a bit tight on money recently, so she stole the items and sold them to a pawnshop.

Ren Xinzheng was very angry and immediately punished her by making her stand in a fixed position. Sun Toutou obediently went out and stood in a horse stance without saying a word. The sun was shining brightly, and this time she truly endured the punishment under the scorching sun. Linglan asked Ren Tianzhen to provide some support for Sun Toutou's waist, but Sun Toutou refused, afraid that Ren Xinzheng would become even angrier if he saw it. So Ren Tianzhen decided to share the punishment with Sun Toutou. Linglan went to speak to Ren Xinzheng, trying to persuade him to not be so harsh on Ren Tianzhen in the future, to refrain from physical punishment and verbal abuse, and to have a proper conversation instead. Linglan was about to let the two of them take a break when Sun Toutou suddenly fainted.

Ren Xinzheng immediately instructed Linglan to use moxibustion to help Sun Toutou regain consciousness. Sun Toutou had a weak digestive system, so Ren Xinzheng prepared two sets of medicine for her. Sun Toutou slowly regained consciousness, and she told Ren Tianzhen that the reason Ren Xinzheng was strict with him was because he loved him. She also mentioned that Ren Xinzheng could understand any mistakes she made, except when it came to Ren Tianzhen. This alone proved it. In the end, Sun Toutou expressed her deep admiration for Ren Tianzhen and urged him to be sensible in the future. She emphasized that he was the only child in the family and the only grandson of the two elderly people at home, and without him, it would be less lively and boring.

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Meng's parents called Ren Xinzheng, informing him that Xu Meng was missing. Xu Meng's mother had taken a break from work and invited many relatives to have a gathering at home. She wanted Xu Meng to come out and meet the relatives, but Xu Meng ran away from home instead. Ren Tianzhen went with his father to Xu Meng's house and learned about the situation. Ren Tianzhen was very angry and criticized Xu Meng's mother for forcing her child. He believed that she should consider their perspective, respect their decisions, and give them freedom. Ren Xinzheng immediately stopped Ren Tianzhen from saying more, and Ren Tianzhen ran out to find Xu Meng.

Sun Toutou and Ren Tianzhen searched the whole day, but they still had no clues. When they returned home in the evening, there was still no sign of Xu Meng. Ren Tianzhen softly called out Mengmeng's name in the narrow corridor at home, and the door slowly opened. Xu Meng was really at home! Ren Tianzhen patiently called out Xu Meng's name, never before had he seen his son so earnestly. Linglan even felt a bit angry and immediately called for a family meeting.

In front of the family, Linglan announced that there shouldn't be so many girls in the house and asked Ren Xinzheng to call Xu Meng's parents. She wanted Xu Meng to return home the next day. This time, Xu Meng had run away on her own. What if one day she ran away from the clinic? How would they explain it to Xu Meng's parents? Linglan's reasoning made sense, but Ren Tianzhen immediately stood up and said that if Xu Meng was really going to be kicked out, he would move out and live with Xu Meng. Linglan was furious, and in the evening, she couldn't contain her anger when she saw Ren Xinzheng. However, Ren Xinzheng tried to console her, saying that women shouldn't be too narrow-minded. If Ren Tianzhen was really doing it for the sake of his patients, it showed the spirit of a benevolent doctor.
