Jin Secretary Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Gu Qianqian and the groom Lan Chen got married. When Lan Chen was asked if he was willing, he hesitated. At this moment, Jin Xi'er pushed the door open and said she was not willing. She entered the company for the sake of her sister. A year ago, she had just won the Free Fighting Gold Belt. When she learned that her talented sister was being bullied by the company, she, as the twin sister, entered WE Beauty Family to work for her.
Jin Xi'er had just arrived at the company and was mocked by her front desk colleagues. She directly tied them up with a telephone cord and then found Liang Liangqing. At that time, he was reprimanding his subordinates. Jin Xi'er directly approached him and cut off his beloved lipstick and purse. Liang Liangqing said he would never dare again. Jin Xi'er had just stepped out of the office and saw a team leader getting angry. She beat them all up.
There was a problem on the side of President Lan, and the secretary informed Jin to have an emergency meeting. Lan Chen lost his parents at a young age and was raised by his grandfather. He is now the youngest CEO and still single. Lan Chen was surrounded by the media, but Jin Xi'er came forward to rescue him and found out that he was an imposter. The real Lan Chen had already reached the office by this time.
Lan Chen blamed the secretary and another subordinate for being one minute late. He asked how much could be accomplished in that one minute and if this is how they handle emergencies. He also scolded the secretary for losing her composure in front of the media and fired her. Jin Xi'er didn't hesitate and immediately flipped him over.
Episode 2 Recap
Jin Xi'er had won the Free Fighting Championship, but due to an ankle injury, she was forced to leave the ring. She returned to her hometown in search of new opportunities and discovered that her sister had suffered a concussion due to bullying by her colleagues at the company, which resulted in narcolepsy. Although the company compensated for her medical leave, her sister still faced psychological stress. To protect her sister from further harm, Jin Xi'er disguised herself as her sister and started working at the company.
Jin Xi'er directly flipped Lan Chen over, and to her surprise, Lan Chen's old neck injury seemed to no longer trouble him after the flip. Taking advantage of the high-level meeting, Jin Xi'er planned to expose and confront the colleagues who had bullied her sister.
Lan Chen entered the meeting room, and Jin Xi'er stood by his side. A portly man presented the day's new products, but Lan Chen corrected the data he reported. Lan Chen believed that business was simply a matter of willing buyers and sellers.
When Lan Chen noticed that everyone had injured faces, they lied, claiming they had accidentally bumped into something. Lan Chen let the matter pass but compensated them tenfold for their troubles. He privately warned Jin Xi'er that if she wanted to continue working, she needed to do so properly.
Jin Xi'er bought snacks for Lan Chen but was intercepted by three men. She discovered that one of them was responsible for causing her sister's concussion. She gave him a stern slap on the face. The man threatened to take revenge on Jin Xi'er with the support of Ling Feng, but Jin Xi'er overheard this and issued a warning.
Jin Xi'er bought the snacks, but Lan Chen refused to eat them. Jin Xi'er scolded him, thinking he had issues and told him not to waste her time. Lan Chen changed the topic to discuss the work that had piled up over the past month and asked for help tying his tie. Due to Jin Xi'er's strength, they accidentally fell down together, which was witnessed by Lan Chen's mother. Jin Xi'er recognized Lan Chen's mother and asked if she remembered her.
Episode 3 Recap
Four months ago, Jin Xi'er interviewed for the position of a secretary. The interviewee disapproved of her modest attire, and she nervously introduced herself. Although she had a good education and proficiency in foreign languages, the scent on her body was disliked by Lan Chen's mother. Lan Chen immediately agreed to hire her because a research paper she had published had also been featured.
Jin Xi'er recognized Lan Chen's mother and asked if she remembered her. Lan Chen's mother carefully examined her but didn't recognize her. Before leaving, Jin Xi'er said she would make sure Lan Chen's mother remembered her. Lan Chen's mother mentioned the need to discuss matters related to Li Huai International.
After work, Jin Xi'er realized she was being followed and prepared to confront the person. Ling Feng, riding a motorcycle, saw it was a beautiful woman and asked his companion why they were targeting a woman. He didn't usually harm women, and his companion explained that the taekwondo gym wasn't making profits, so they were just trying to intimidate her. Ling Feng warned Jin Xi'er loudly to behave herself.
Jin Xi'er recognized him, and he thought he was famous. However, in his self-absorption, Jin Xi'er knocked him down after just a few blows. After being defeated by Jin Xi'er, Ling Feng became infatuated with her.
Upon returning home, Jin Xi'er saw her sister waiting at the door. She knew that her sister, Jin Xi'en, was aware of her impersonating her at work. Jin Xi'en held a nearly exploding phone and scolded her sister for her actions that day. Jin Xi'er swore to help her sister establish connections within the company and prevent her from being bullied again.
Episode 4 Recap
Jin Xi'er impersonated Jin Xi'en at work and reported the day's schedule to Lan Chen. Lan Chen's neck was bothering him again, and he hinted for her to help him get dressed. Jin Xi'er asked if he was disabled since he couldn't even dress himself, especially struggling with the tie, which nearly strangled Lan Chen. While working, Jin Xi'er noticed that Lan Chen was meticulous and diligent, but his major flaw was excessive self-love.
She discovered many certificates and achievements of Lan Chen, but the strange thing was that he had graduated from Horton City Beauty University, not a conventional university. After a day of work, Jin Xi'er complained to her sister about the hardships of being a secretary. At that moment, her sister gave Jin Xi'er her favorite macaron to eat, and Jin Xi'er realized it was the same dessert she had been asked to queue for yesterday but Lan Chen had declined, insisting she have it. It turned out that he had bought it for her from the beginning.
Jin Xi'en mentioned that one night when she was working late, Lan Chen had intentionally escorted her home. Lan Chen explained that it was to avoid his mother's surveillance, which is why he had chosen her. Jin Xi'en had also received Lan Chen's macaron that evening, and surprisingly, their taste preferences matched.
Jin Xi'er received an urgent call from Lan Chen to attend a meeting. She told him that she had already finished work and wasn't at his beck and call like a slave, and Lan Chen hung up the phone.
Lan Chen went directly to Jin Xi'er's home. Her sister took the opportunity to hide. Lan Chen explained that a banquet was about to start, and Zeng, the CEO of Li Huai International, would also be attending. The banquet was highly significant, and he needed her to attend as a secretary should.
Episode 5 Recap
Jin Xi'er refused to work overtime, so Lan Chen personally went to her home. He explained that the banquet, where Zeng, the CEO of Li Huai International, would also be present, was the kind of event a secretary should attend. Jin Xi'er accompanied Lan Chen to the dinner. Considering her attire, Lan Chen took her to a private tailor. After changing into her evening gown, Jin Xi'er even dazzled herself. She quietly approached Lan Chen, who couldn't control the racing of his heart when he saw her.
Jin Xi'er walked in with her arm linked with Lan Chen's, and everyone was curious about her background, which fueled jealousy among other women. Lan Chen's grandfather, Lan Ren, appeared via video call to thank everyone for attending the gathering. The Lan family and the Gu family had a long-standing relationship, and now, the grandson Lan Chen and the Gu family's granddaughter Gu Qianqian were both of marriageable age. He hoped that the next generation would carry on the family's traditions and add to the family. Gu Qianqian glared at Jin Xi'er with hostility, but Jin Xi'er hadn't seen Zeng, the CEO of Li Huai International, and she asked Lan Chen about the situation.
Lan Chen's mother asked Gu Qianqian to be by Lan Chen's side, joking about how they used to get upset when they didn't sit together as children. Lan Chen explained that he initially thought this was a negotiation meeting with Li Huai International but didn't expect it to be a family gathering. To express his gratitude, he raised his glass for a toast.
Jin Xi'er didn't care about the onlookers and started eating. Lan Chen announced his romantic feelings, not wanting any misunderstandings. He revealed that his love interest was Jin Xi'en.
Episode 6 Recap
During the family gathering, Lan Chen publicly confessed his feelings for Jin Xi'en, which left Gu Qianqian feeling extremely awkward. Jin Xi'er clarified that she wasn't the object of his affection. In retaliation for Jin Xi'en pouring wine on her, Gu Qianqian was about to splash wine on Jin Xi'er, but Lan Chen protected her and pulled her into his arms. He declared that Jin Xi'en was his woman and that no one could harm her. When Lan Ren saw this during a video call, he was furious.
Lan Chen tried to leave with Jin Xi'er, but his bodyguards intercepted them. Jin Xi'er took off her shoes and knocked down the bodyguards, dragging Lan Chen away.
As they drove together, Jin Xi'er remembered her sister's hint about her liking Lan Chen. She stopped the car and slapped Lan Chen, telling him that she came to work, not to be used as a pawn. Lan Chen explained that the situation had forced him to do so. Jin Xi'er expressed her annoyance, stating that he couldn't even dress himself without help and was generally unlikable. She asked him to reflect on himself, saying that those who knew him were sick of him, and those who didn't know him would be frightened.
Lan Chen asked her what kind of person she was. Jin Xi'er didn't hide her displeasure and told him that she was the kind of person who wanted to beat him up. The clothes got torn during the fight earlier, and Jin Xi'er cautiously asked if the cost could be deducted from her salary because she had no money. Lan Chen said the clothes now belonged to her. Jin Xi'er realized she should have been more careful during the fight.
Feeling a bit cold, Jin Xi'er asked if she could borrow Lan Chen's coat, but he pretended to be cold too and held her arm tightly. Jin Xi'er found it annoying. When she returned home, she discovered that Gu Qianqian had brought a group of people to seek revenge on her sister. Her mother repeatedly apologized, but Gu Qianqian made Jin's mother kneel down to apologize.
Episode 7 Recap
Jin Xi'er returned home to find that Gu Qianqian had brought a group of people to confront Jin Xi'en. Although Jin's mother apologized and begged for forgiveness, Gu Qianqian still demanded that Jin's mother kneel down and apologize. She even attempted to physically harm Jin Xi'en, but Lan Chen intervened. He scolded Gu Qianqian loudly, questioning if she hadn't understood his words at the banquet. He made it clear that no one should harm Jin Xi'en in any way. Despite her defiance, Gu Qianqian left.
Jin Xi'en was frightened and in tears. When Lan Chen tried to apologize, she directly embraced him and cried. Lan Chen held Jin Xi'en, feeling that something was amiss. Jin Xi'er, who had been observing from the shadows, felt a sense of melancholy.
The next day, Jin Xi'er went to work. People were whispering about the incident. When she saw Lan Chen, she immediately tackled him and informed him that a car would be waiting for him at the door in an hour. Jin Xi'er whispered to Lan Chen not to cause any trouble this time, or she would "slaughter" him. Other women watched Lan Chen, utterly enchanted by his presence.
Lan Chen, self-absorbed, gazed at himself in the mirror. Jin Xi'er couldn't bear to look and left. Zeng, the CEO, recognized Jin Xi'er and warmly greeted her. During their conversation, a thug attempted to steal Zeng's phone, and Jin Xi'er swiftly dealt with the situation.
Zeng's bodyguards rushed over, and Jin Xi'er, mistakenly thinking they were the culprits, grabbed Zeng and escaped. When they reached a dead-end alley, she prepared to defend herself, only to discover that these men were the bodyguards of the Macaron Uncle. Astonishingly, he was Zeng, the CEO of Li Huai International.
Episode 8 Recap
Zeng Huaishi from Li Huai International took the stage to speak. His eye contact with Jin Xi'er raised suspicions in Lan Chen's mind. He noticed how intently Jin Xi'er was gazing at Zeng Huaishi and asked if Zeng was truly so captivating. Lan Chen had a private conversation with Zeng to discuss investment matters. Given the current situation, Li Huai International needed to lead the investment so that other companies could follow suit. While he appreciated Lan Chen's perspective, their company was not among the top ten on Zeng's list.
Zeng Huaishi explained that their company's failure to make the top ten was due to the prioritization of personal interests over company principles in family businesses. Moreover, wealth was concentrated at the top, and they hadn't published financial reports for three years. Even the largest family businesses couldn't make it into the top ten. Jin Xi'er disagreed with his view, emphasizing the significance of family conglomerates, especially given WE Cosmetics' high standing in Horton City.
Lan Chen, being a promising young leader, must have a vision. Zeng Huaishi recognized her as the "young heroine" who had saved his life earlier. Jin Xi'er introduced herself formally as Jin Xi'en, the secretary of WE Cosmetics, and they warmly greeted each other and shook hands. Lan Chen promptly interjected, stating that she was his private secretary.
As Zeng Huaishi departed, he quietly informed Lan Chen that if their company couldn't secure the B round of financing, they might not survive. Jin Xi'er turned and saw Gu Qianqian, recalling her mistreatment of her mother that night. She was determined to make Gu Qianqian pay. Lan Chen sensed her resentment and disclosed that Gu Qianqian was Zeng Huaishi's cousin.
Episode 9 Recap
Gu Qianqian noticed Jin Xi'en and deliberately provoked her. Just as Jin Xi'er was about to take action, she was abruptly pulled back by Lan Chen. Due to the momentum, Jin Xi'er collided with Lan Chen and accidentally kissed him, further infuriating Gu Qianqian. To conceal the embarrassment, Jin Xi'er promptly pushed Lan Chen down, while Zeng Huaishi watched and secretly chuckled.
Lan Chen escorted Jin Xi'en home, and he mentioned that although Zeng Huaishi hadn't explicitly agreed, the event had been a good start. However, Jin Xi'er couldn't stop thinking about the kiss between them. When they got back home, both found themselves preoccupied with thoughts of the kiss, plunging into an ambiguous atmosphere. Jin Xi'er had trouble sleeping all night, even visualizing a passionate kiss from Lan Chen. She warned herself not to fall for him since he was the man her sister liked.
Lan Rensha called Lan Chen, emphasizing that the company was the result of generations of hard work, and they could only allow success, not failure. Since the arranged marriage was off, it was up to Lan Chen's abilities to secure the investment for the company. Late at night, Jin Xi'er received a notification that Zeng Huaishi had moved the meeting to the following morning and required her to prepare in advance.
The next day, Jin Xi'er instructed the finance department to prepare financial statements, and the project team would review the data once more. After all departments were prepared, both parties met in the conference room for negotiations. Jin Xi'en also communicated with her sister to help convey professional data. Zeng Huaishi expressed some concerns and had a private chat with Jin Xi'er, telling her that his visit was mainly due to her saving him. However, if the company's financial records were not clean, they wouldn't proceed with the cooperation.
Episode 10 Recap
Zeng Huaishi directly stated that they wouldn't choose to cooperate because Jin Xi'er's company's financial records were not clean. While returning, Zeng Huaishi recollected the time when Jin Xi'er had saved him and realized that someone had inserted a USB drive into his phone. After an investigation, it was revealed that the USB drive contained financial statements from the WE Beauty Group. They suspected that sending it over the network or through a messenger might expose their identity.
Jin Xi'er returned to the conference room again, but she was kicked out by other senior executives who claimed it wasn't a place for her. Jin Xi'er straightforwardly stated that wherever Mr. Lan (Lan Chen) was, she would be, and if someone had a problem with that, it meant he didn't belong there. She openly said that the previous outcome was a result of their actions, as the company's financial records had problems, leading to Zeng Huaishi's refusal to cooperate.
Lan Chen canceled all his appointments for the day and didn't allow anyone to disturb him. Jin Xi'en inquired about Lan Chen's condition and asked her to help him. Jin Xi'er, watching Lan Chen from a distance, expressed her sympathy and suggested they collaborate with her sister to investigate the matter. She discovered some issues and urged Jin Xi'en to prepare an urgent research report.
To express her gratitude for Lan Chen's help in saving her mother that night, Jin Xi'er specially gifted Lan Chen a designer idol's work with a personal signature. Lan Chen thanked her, and it made him feel much more at ease. Lan Chen mentioned that the company was currently facing severe difficulties, and if this investment didn't succeed, they might truly be unable to continue. The company supported many families and had to push forward.
Episode 11 Recap
Jin Xi'er proposed some ideas, and Lan Chen agreed with them. Lan Chen, looking at Jin Xi'er in front of him, wanted to kiss her, but Jin Xi'er declined. In the following days, she sensed the pressure Lan Chen was under and hoped she could help him.
Jin Xi'er organized the financial statements from the past three years. At this time, the financial manager reported that the company's finances were all uploaded into the financial system, which was currently the highest-level system.
Lan Chen learned that the financial system was managed by people, not machines. At this point, Jin Xi'en informed her sister, Jin Xi'er, that the project leader, Liang Liangqing, and the Director of Administration, Bu Zhengjing, often gave her strange tasks. These tasks were always given to her after work, and they included a peculiar report with significant discrepancies in company revenue.
Jin Xi'er found the report they had given her four months ago, and she learned that it was at the Guodan Club. Her sister was worried about her confrontational personality and advised her not to act recklessly.
Zuo Jia'an and Bu Zhengjing were drinking at the club, and Zuo Jia'an mentioned that Lan Chen had been investigating the company's accounts recently. Bu Zhengjing laughed, wondering why he had taken so long, especially for a company of this scale. They boasted about being able to find out the truth regardless of Mr. Li and Secretary Jin. They found it strange that the investigation had just begun.
Disguised, Jin Xi'er went to the club to question the makeup accounts. At this point, the two of them, fearing a physical altercation, falsely claimed that they were acting on Lan Chen's orders. They deliberately leaked information to the media, blaming everything on Lan Chen.
Episode 12 Recap
In front of the media, Jin Xi'er's identity was exposed by Zuo Jia'an, but at that moment, Ling Feng arrived to rescue Jin Xi'er. Ling Feng had heard that she had secretly admired him for a long time and had been inquiring about his whereabouts. Today, he happened to see her leaving the company in a secretive manner, so he followed her to the club. Ling Feng handed his business card to Jin Xi'er and, before she left, asked her if she believed in love at first sight, giving her a flower. Just as Ling Feng was about to confess, Jin Xi'er interrupted him.
Upon returning home, Jin Xi'er discovered a large group of reporters surrounding her house. Ling Feng pulled her away to show her the news. She was now being reported as using force to threaten the Chief Financial Officer due to an investment failure arranged by Mr. Lan. The report claimed she was trying to keep the fake accounts secret, and due to the CFO's disobedience, she had intentionally hit and scolded them.
Ling Feng approached the reporters to drive them away but noticed someone who looked identical to Jin Xi'er. At this moment, Jin's mother fell ill and was rushed to the hospital, with reporters following them to the hospital, completely ignoring Ling Feng. Ling Feng was taken aback by the sudden appearance of another Jin Xi'er and wondered how she had disguised herself so quickly.
At the hospital, Ling Feng finally learned that they were twins, and the two sisters were completely different in temperament. The younger sister was gentle, while the older one was quite aggressive. Jin Xi'er quietly returned to the company to search for the pink folder her sister mentioned but found it empty. They realized someone had intentionally hidden it.
Lan Ren'shan suggested shifting the blame for this incident onto Jin Xi'er and making sure Lan Chen distanced himself from her. Lan's mother interceded for Jin Xi'er, fearing that this incident could ruin the girl's reputation. In public, Lan Chen stated that he would act according to his grandfather's instructions, and Jin Xi'er, who was in hiding, heard this and felt deeply hurt.
Episode 13 Recap
Lan Chen publicly assured his grandfather that he would act according to his instructions and shifted the blame onto Jin Xi'er. Jin Xi'er overheard these words. Lan Chen sent a message to Jin Xi'er, informing her that she didn't need to come to work the next day and should attend a press conference. As he sent the message, he heard the sound of a phone notification from nearby and realized it was Jin Xi'er's phone.
Jin Xi'er returned to retrieve her phone, and Lan Chen apologized to her. At this moment, Ling Feng arrived with his friends on motorcycles to show support for Jin Xi'er. Ling Feng publicly stated that he had followed Lan Chen's orders to retaliate against Jin Xi'er. Lan Chen claimed not to know about this, and Ling Feng scolded him for feigning amnesia, but the phone had a transfer record. His friends cheered for Jin Xi'er to become their sister-in-law.
Lan's mother arrived with a group of people to protect her son, instantly escalating the conflict. Jin Xi'er rejected Lan Chen and left with Ling Feng, while Lan Chen called her name in sorrow. Jin Xi'er arrived at the hospital and saw the so-called evidence on Ling Feng's phone. She noticed that the WeChat messages were from the Chief Financial Officer, not Lan Chen.
Gu Qianqian came to provoke Jin Xi'er with flowers, claiming that this time, because of Jin Xi'er, Lan Chen had lost the investment. She made it clear that no one else could have Lan Chen if she couldn't. Gu Qianqian brought the media to the hospital, and Jin Xi'er found herself surrounded by reporters. Jin Xi'er's sister, Jin Xi'en, heard the commotion outside, went out of the hospital room to check, and the media discovered that the two of them looked exactly alike.
Episode 14 Recap
Jin Xi'en heard the commotion outside and walked out of the hospital room, where reporters had discovered the two Jin secretaries. Jin Xi'er admitted that she was Jin Xi'en's sister and warned the media to leave the hospital. At that moment, Zeng Huaishi arrived and informed the media that he had already sent a lawyer's letter to the newspaper, requesting the removal of today's materials. The journalists initially didn't take it seriously but eventually left after receiving instructions from their superiors.
Zeng Huaishi asked the young lady if she was okay and wished Jin's mother a speedy recovery. He also invited her to work as a secretary at Li Huai International, offering double the salary. He noted her hesitation and clarified that the invitation was for her, not her sister. Jin Xi'er was surprised that he knew about her twin sister. She expressed her belief in Lan Chen's company's bright future, contrary to what Zeng Huaishi had suggested.
Jin Xi'en asked her sister if she liked Lan Chen, implying that she had been selfishly meddling in her sister's affairs and not appreciating Jin Xi'er's help. In an effort to dispel her sister's jealousy, Jin Xi'er swore that she wouldn't fall for Lan Chen.
Jin's mother woke up and scolded Jin Xi'en for not being understanding and appreciating her sister, who was so protective. She advised her to be more considerate of Jin Xi'er. Ling Feng, under threat from the Chief Financial Officer, was coerced into deleting transfer records and receiving a sum of money to falsely implicate Lan Chen.
Episode 15 Recap
Ling Feng intentionally leaked information to Bu Zhengjing, revealing that Jin's secretary had a twin sister. Jin Xi'er appeared at a press conference to address recent events and take responsibility, but Lan Chen arrived just in time to stop her from speaking further. As the appointed time arrived, Lan Chen, acting as the company's CEO, issued a statement on behalf of the company. The media wanted Jin Xi'er to continue, but Lan Chen warned uncooperative reporters that they could leave.
The press conference was finally brought back under control. The Executive Director explained that the recent attack on Left Jiazhang and Creative Director Mei Xiangfa at the club's entrance was the result of Jin Xi'en's personal actions. Based on the company's decision, Jin Xi'en was terminated and would face criminal charges.
At this point, Jin Xi'er's mind was in turmoil. Lan Chen, in front of everyone, tore up the termination letter. He stood up and stated that these matters were unrelated to the secretary and were done under his orders. He warned that if any media outlet defamed Jin Xi'er and her family in the future, he would hold them accountable. The media, witnessing this, took photos and pressed for details about the situation. Lan's mother expressed her support for Lan Chen. A large screen behind her showed the video of Ling Feng, Bu Zhengjing, and the false accusations against Left Jiazhang, further accusing them of being coerced by Lan Chen.
Lan Chen found himself at the center of the storm, facing numerous false accusations. Unable to prove his innocence, Jin Xi'er looked at him with a heavy heart.
Episode 16 Recap
Lan Chen was falsely accused based on a video involving Bu Zhengjing and Left Jiazhang. He found it difficult to prove his innocence. Lan's mother quickly ordered the video to be turned off. However, in response to the media's questions, another video appeared. This time, it was surveillance footage, showing Ling Feng being threatened by Bu Zhengjing and others to provide false testimony. Ling Feng, after recording their dialogue, learned that a press conference was scheduled for the following day. Since no one was willing to edit the video, Ling Feng presented his business card, offering to edit it himself. Left Jiazhang instructed him to edit it quickly and send it to a specified address.
The surveillance footage shed light on the events that led to Lan Chen's false accusations. Jin Xi'er also presented screenshots as evidence of Left Jiazhang hiring someone to harm people, but the reporters were still skeptical. At this moment, Zeng Huaishi arrived at the press conference. He revealed that a few days ago, someone had privately transferred WE's financial report to his phone. Without this method, it would have been challenging to identify the perpetrator.
After conducting an investigation, Zeng Huaishi found that WE's market was stable and far from the holes in the financial report. He received the real market research report provided by Jin Xi'er, which proved to be trustworthy. Given Lan Chen's company's performance, it was officially included in the top three candidates for cooperation with Li Huai International. Zeng Huaishi made a serious announcement that any media engaging in malicious attacks on Jin Xi'er and her family would be held accountable.
Episode 17 Recap
Zeng Huaishi, during the press conference, proved Lan Chen's innocence and the company's operational status. The Administrative Director also presented evidence of Left Jiazhang and others falsifying accounts. This allowed WE Cosmetics to successfully collaborate with Li Huai International.
Lan's mother expressed relief that this farce had finally come to an end. Liang Liangqing, Bu Zhengjing, Left Jiazhang, and Mei Xiangfa had been dismissed and held accountable. On behalf of the family, Lan's mother apologized to Jin Xi'er. However, Jin Xi'er mentioned that she never really liked her and hadn't taken the matter to heart. Lan's mother felt that Jin Xi'er resembled her younger self.
Jin Xi'er's colleagues recognized the impact of this incident on the company and suggested that Lan Chen temporarily postpone taking over the Li Huai International project. Lan's mother agreed, acknowledging the need for Lan Chen to focus on other matters.
Lan Chen apologized to Jin Xi'er, but she didn't forgive him. As they left the company, they ran into Zeng Huaishi. Both Zeng Huaishi and Lan Chen tried to seize the opportunity to accompany Jin Xi'er home, and neither would back down. At that moment, Ling Feng also arrived, planning to escort Jin Xi'er to the press conference, only to learn that it had already ended. The three men who admired Jin Xi'er were gathered together. Ling Feng playfully asked Jin Xi'er if she felt a sense of emptiness without him. Jin Xi'er nodded in jest, while Zeng Huaishi and Lan Chen exchanged amused glances. Ling Feng scolded them for laughing, and all three of them expressed their eagerness to accompany Jin Xi'er home. Ultimately, she decided to take the subway home.
Lan Chen followed Jin Xi'er all the way to her doorstep and, with audacity, asked her if she noticed a special glow about him and if she had fallen in love with him.
Episode 18 Recap
The incident in which Left Jiazhang and others framed Lan Chen was actually orchestrated by Yuan Ge, who had earned Lan's mother's trust. Yuan Ge, in collaboration with Gu Qianqian, conspired against Lan Chen. Although this incident exceeded Yuan Ge's expectations, he achieved his goal, and Bu Zhengjing harbored resentment towards Jin Xi'er.
Left Jiazhang also uncovered a shocking secret: Jin Xi'er has a younger sister. Yuan Ge casually mentioned that almost everyone has siblings, so it's nothing extraordinary.
Left Jiazhang and his group left, leaving Gu Qianqian concerned about how to coordinate with Yuan Ge in the future. Yuan Ge assured her that she had already stolen all the technological and business resources. As long as they break the Li Huai International collaboration, WE Cosmetics would go bankrupt. Gu Qianqian was ecstatic, as she believed that once WE Cosmetics went bankrupt, Lan Chen would never leave her. Yuan Ge was now in charge of Li Huai International. Lan Rensha, however, saw through his son's plans and called Yuan Ge, instructing him to assist his grandson Lan Chen properly and stop making moves behind his back.
Lan Chen realized there were issues with the financial reports this time and planned to eliminate the four troublemakers in the company. Lan Chen hesitantly told Jin Xi'er sitting beside him that he wished she wouldn't like Zeng Huaishi. Jin Xi'er looked at the shy man in front of her and understood his feelings – he liked her but didn't dare to confess. She stammered and said it wasn't her concern who she liked, which left Lan Chen without the courage to confess. He lowered his head, continuing to work timidly.
The removal of the four troublemakers wouldn't be possible without their four assistants. These assistants were actually Lan Chen's people, and they were now taking over their positions directly.
Episode 19 Recap
Jin Xi'er and Lan Chen returned home to find Gu Qianqian waiting with her friend. Gu Qianqian intentionally made flirtatious remarks in front of Jin Xi'er. Lan Chen explained that his company had numerous firms vying for collaboration, and if she didn't want to work on the design, she could leave. Gu Qianqian asked if he wasn't worried she might mess things up, but Lan Chen believed a big company like Li Huai wouldn't tarnish its reputation. He mentioned that her company also wanted a share of the cosmetics industry, and since WE was a prominent company in the field, they could benefit from this partnership for publicity.
Gu Qianqian disclosed her plans for new products to Lan Chen, and Jin Xi'er, feeling left out, decided to step outside for some fresh air. Coincidentally, Lan's mother was present as well. She gave Jin Xi'er a black card with no restrictions, acknowledging that she wasn't materialistic but emphasizing the importance of money in the world. She hoped Jin Xi'er wouldn't misunderstand and would understand Lan Chen's true feelings. Jin Xi'er clarified that her relationship with Lan Chen was purely professional, as his superior at work.
Lan's mother's words to Jin Xi'er were overheard by Lan Chen. In a video message, Lan Rensha criticized Jin Xi'er, saying she was holding Lan Chen back and they were from different worlds. Jin Xi'er defended that they didn't really understand Lan Chen's preferences and the hardships he faced. Touched by Jin Xi'er's words, Lan's mother cried, and Lan Chen, feeling brave, confronted his grandfather and left with Jin Xi'er.
Episode 20 Recap
Lan Chen finally gathered the courage to stand up to his grandfather for the sake of Jin Xi'er, wholeheartedly protecting her. He took Jin Xi'er to a restaurant to express his gratitude. Jin Xi'er had spoken the truth earlier and had confronted his grandfather. Lan Chen realized that everything she had said was sincere; she just refused to admit that he had charm to his face. Jin Xi'er teased him for his self-absorbed demeanor. While they were having dinner, they were given a survey questionnaire. When asked about their preferred way of being confessed to, Jin Xi'er wrote about being on a rooftop under a starry night with a gentle drizzle, and a man appearing with a bouquet of roses. Lan Chen secretly noted these words.
Suddenly, a cake was brought over by a waiter to celebrate a birthday, and Jin Xi'er was delighted. However, when she saw macaron desserts on the sides, her heart sank because her sister liked those. Lan Chen had mistaken her for Jin Xi'en. Disheartened, she ordered a bottle of wine and had several glasses. After hearing the price of the wine, she quickly put the glass down. It turned out the survey questionnaire was also intentionally prepared by Lan Chen; he wanted to know the kind of confession Jin Xi'er liked.
Jin Xi'en, somewhat intoxicated, walked out of the restroom, and Lan Chen was very concerned. She told him it wasn't her birthday today, and she didn't like macarons. Those were her sister's favorites. Lan Chen was surprised and asked what was going on, and in response, Jin Xi'er, boosted by the alcohol, leaned in for a kiss.
Episode 21 Recap
Jin Xi'er passionately kissed Lan Chen but got angry when she remembered that he had regarded her as his sister. She slapped him and left in sorrow. Lan Chen chased after her, wanting to take her home, but she told him her birthday was indeed today, and he hadn't forgotten it, but her birthday was yesterday. Lan Chen ordered Jin Xi'er to get out of the car, but she refused.
Jin Xi'er fell asleep in the taxi, and when she woke up, she saw billboards with Lan Chen's image and news about him on her phone. She angrily exclaimed that she had been playing the role of his sister all along and had genuinely fallen in love with him. She didn't know how to be with him.
Returning home, she found her sister waiting to celebrate their birthday together. Jin Xi'er sadly explained that their birthdays were just ten minutes apart, and today was her birthday, with yesterday being her sister's. She decided to let Jin Xi'en go to work by herself, saying she had been doing everything for her sister her whole life, receiving nothing but complaints and no gratitude. Her mother asked if she had encountered something troubling, and Jin Xi'er simply wished Jin Xi'en a happy birthday and returned to her room.
Lan Chen sat alone, eating cake and reminiscing about the kiss he shared with Jin Xi'er. He felt unsatisfied, while Jin Xi'er spent a sleepless night. Jin Xi'er went to Lin Feng's taekwondo studio, and Jin Xi'en, as promised, went to Lan Chen's office, addressing him as "CEO."
Episode 22 Recap
Jin Xi'en addressed Lan Chen as "CEO," which made Lan Chen feel uneasy. He told her not to be so formal and suggested calling him "Mr. Lan" or "Chen Brother." Jin Xi'en, in a gentle tone, called him "Chen Brother," and Lan Chen looked up at her.
While practicing boxing with Lin Feng, Jin Xi'er learned that she was unemployed, and Lin Feng recommended a job abroad, feeling somewhat sad at the thought of not seeing her. Jin Xi'er decided to keep her plans to go abroad for work a secret for now, saying she was going overseas for a change of scenery. She gently assigned tasks to her colleagues, and Lan Chen noticed her unusual tenderness that day. He asked her why she was being so gentle, perhaps because of last night... before he could finish, Jin Xi'en fell asleep, and Lan Chen gently put her down and covered her with a jacket.
Uncle Liang asked Lan Chen if he was investigating him, and Lan Chen shifted the blame onto Left and the others, claiming their methods were too clever and had blinded him. Lan Chen didn't fully believe him, questioning how he could reach the position of second-largest shareholder and general manager if he hadn't noticed these discrepancies.
Lan Chen instructed Far Brother to prepare for the evening's interview and confession event. Lan's mother visited Jin Xi'en's home and, with a hint of disdain, wiped the couch with her hand. She watched Jin Xi'en struggle as a single mother, feeling it wasn't easy. She examined a teacup and put it back. This time, Lan's mother had brought a black card, suggesting that Jin Xi'er should manage her affairs as a woman and not entangle herself with Lan Chen.
Episode 23 Recap
Lan's mother praised Jin Xi'er for her strong character, attributing it to her inherited qualities from Jin's mother. She apologized for her earlier rash words, retracted the black card, and confirmed if Jin's mother had twin daughters. Jin Xi'er began applying for a job abroad, leveraging her international work experience and combat champion title. Starting next month, she could directly process her employment procedures overseas.
As a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, she recalled Lan Chen. Lan Chen asked Far Brother to handle the press conference and confession event. Far Brother also wished for Lan Chen and Jin Xi'er to be together and didn't want Gu's family to interfere with Lan's family affairs. Jin Xi'en suddenly woke up and quickly apologized to Lan Chen for falling asleep, explaining it was unintentional. Lan Chen didn't blame her and took her to a particular place.
Lan's mother asked Jin's mother whether the one going to work today was Jin Xi'en or her elder daughter, who had won the comprehensive combat championship. She didn't want her son to be deceived again. Jin's mother explained that they hadn't intended to deceive anyone. It was Jin Xi'en who stepped in to resolve the company's fake accounts and bad people because her younger sister was bullied at the company. They remained in the company because their daughter had fallen in love with CEO Lan. Before leaving, Lan's mother expressed her fondness for Jin's daughter and mentioned bringing some good tea next time.
Lan Chen confessed to Jin Xi'en on the rooftop, and Jin Xi'er, who was standing behind, overheard her beloved Lan Chen confessing his love to her sister. She felt heartbroken. Jin Xi'er sat in the rain, feeling devastated. Zeng Huaishi came to console her and invited her to dinner, offering her a position as his secretary. She declined his offer, but Zeng Huaishi mentioned that there might be a mole in Lan Chen's company and advised her to warn Jin Xi'en to be cautious in all matters.
Episode 24 Recap
Jin Xi'er saw the person she loved confessing to her, and she was initially thrilled. However, when she heard that he had been beaten, she realized that he loved her sister. Jin Xi'er hugged him and tearfully told him that this was the scenario she had longed for, but he loved her sister. She told him that with more time spent together, he would understand the truth. She didn't reveal the truth but directly rejected him, asking him to leave.
Lan Chen, rejected by Jin Xi'er, walked the streets heartbroken. He coincidentally arrived at a restaurant and encountered his secretary, Jin Xi'er, and Zeng Huaishi, who had just turned her down. Jin Xi'er stood up to explain the situation but accidentally twisted her ankle. Fortunately, Zeng Huaishi caught her in time, and Lan Chen witnessed this scene, becoming jealous. He called out Jin Xi'er's name, and she quickly pushed Zeng Huaishi away when he asked to join them for a meal.
Lan Chen made sarcastic remarks, and Jin Xi'er couldn't bear it anymore, asking him what was wrong with him. Lan Chen mentioned that Li Huai International was an important client, and it was rare to have an opportunity to dine and drink together. Many people would jump at this chance. He kept mentioning Jin Xi'er's name. Zeng Huaishi asked if there was any misunderstanding, and finally, Jin Xi'er poured her drink on Lan Chen's face. As Lan Chen left, he praised his secretary for her excellent work that day and said he couldn't have done it without her guidance. He left, visibly intoxicated, and collapsed on the ground. Jin Xi'er rushed over and hugged him, while Zeng Huaishi noticed that she still had feelings for Lan Chen.
Episode 25 Recap
Lan Chen collapsed in front of Jin Xi'er, and she was worried about taking him home. Zeng Huaishi was also concerned about Jin Xi'er and offered to accompany her in taking Lan Chen home. As they were leaving, Lan Chen held her hand and pleaded with his secretary not to go. Jin Xi'er was running a fever and fainted in Zeng Huaishi's arms.
Zeng Huaishi carried Jin Xi'er to her room and reassured her not to worry. He told her to rest, and he would take care of the rest.
The next day, Lan Chen and Zeng Huaishi prepared breakfast, both claiming that it was for Jin Xi'er. When Jin Xi'er woke up and learned that Lan Chen had been guarding her all night, she was delighted. Zeng Huaishi made breakfast for Jin Xi'er, and they shared a playful moment of tasting each other's dishes, which lightened her mood.
Lan Chen teased the adorable interaction between Zeng Huaishi and Jin Xi'er. Both men competed to be attentive to her by moving a chair for her. Jin Xi'er praised the taste of the sandwich. When Lan Chen heard Jin Xi'er compliment Zeng Huaishi's cooking skills, he left for work, offering her a day off. Zeng Huaishi agreed and looked forward to taking her out for the day. Lan Chen left reluctantly, and Jin Xi'er was unaware of what had happened.
Lan Chen arrived at the office and was surprised to find macarons on his desk. When Jin Xi'er suddenly appeared behind him, he was startled. He wondered if she could teleport; she had returned to work so quickly.
Episode 26 Recap
Lan Chen was surprised to see that his secretary had arrived at the company even before him. Lan Chen praised the plan she had developed, acknowledging that their company was lacking in the campus sector, which had great potential. He noted that this would help accelerate their cash flow, and the subsidiary company would be able to return to its core focus. Additionally, Jin Xi'er had included this project in the new research and development initiatives, which Lan Chen highly approved of. He complimented her on her skills and took some credit for her progress, claiming that she had learned a lot thanks to his guidance.
Lan Chen believed that Jin Xi'er had him in her heart, as evidenced by her decision to leave Zeng Huaishi and return to work.
Jin Xi'er didn't want to go home and took Zeng Huaishi with her to practice martial arts. Zeng Huaishi was happy to join her. When they reached the Taekwondo gym, Zeng Huaishi thought he could outdo Jin Xi'er, but he ended up getting injured. Jin Xi'er's work was going well, and she was becoming increasingly professional. Zeng Huaishi had to beg for mercy.
Jin Xi'er and Zeng Huaishi practiced martial arts and went running together, and they started to have more conversations.
Gu Qianqian criticized Jin Xi'er for rejecting her design. Although Jin Xi'er didn't understand design, she knew that it needed to align with the client's core requirements. Gu Qianqian reluctantly agreed to make changes in front of Lan Chen.
Jin Xi'er handed the complete investigation report to Lan Chen, but she suddenly fell ill and fell asleep. Just as Lan Chen was about to kiss her, he was interrupted by his mother.
The sales of the new product reached a historical high, and Lan Chen was thrilled, celebrating with Jin Xi'er. Yuan Ge secretly took a picture of Lan Chen and his secretary hugging and sent it to Gu Qianqian. Gu Qianqian then contacted Yuan Ge, reminding him not to forget their agreement.
Episode 27 Recap
Lan Chen, Zeng Huaishi, and Jin Xi'er had a video conference. Zeng Huaishi approved of the new product but felt that it lacked a soul. Lan Chen became angry, accusing Zeng Huaishi of not genuinely cooperating and told him not to waste both parties' time. Lan Chen coughed excitedly, and Zeng Huaishi advised him to take care of his health. WE Beauty was still under assessment, and cooperation could only happen after passing.
Lan Chen believed that the reason Zeng Huaishi insulted him in the meeting was due to the lack of a marriage alliance between their families. Yuan Ge secretly enjoyed this situation, while Lan's mother proactively arranged for Jin Xi'er and Lan Chen to have dinner together, leaving her and Yuan Ge to dine separately.
Jin Xi'er noticed that Lan Chen had something on his mind. Lan Chen stuttered in his confession, hoping Jin Xi'er could become his girlfriend. Jin Xi'er thought they had only known each other briefly, and Lan Chen mistakenly believed she was interested in Zeng Huaishi.
In the restroom, Jin Xi'er met Jin Xi'er. They both ended up in a restaurant for a meal. Jin Xi'er thanked her sister for giving her the chance to be confessed to that day. Jin Xi'er pretended to be confused, not knowing what her sister was talking about. Jin Xi'er then told her sister that she had rejected Lan Chen's confession, even though it was her who had been confessed to. She felt that her sister should have the opportunity to compete fairly. Upon learning that Zeng Huaishi had vetoed their new product, Jin Xi'er decided to help her sister. Jin Xi'er bumped into Lan Chen as she left the restroom. Lan Chen asked if she had changed her clothes, and Jin Xi'er awkwardly smiled, going along with Lan Chen to have a meal. She expressed her perspective on the product's essence, causing Lan Chen to suspect that his secretary might have a split personality.
Episode 28 Recap
Jin Xi'er asked Lan Chen to take good care of himself, eat on time, and Liang Huaishi coincidentally showed up. To avoid Lan Chen seeing the twins, Liang Huaishi offered to take Jin Xi'er home and dropped her off.
Ling Feng went to Jin Xi'er's home to please her mother, telling her that Jin Xi'er had secretly admired him for a long time and that he was willing to be like a son to her. This made Jin Xi'er's mother feel awkward. Ling Feng then mentioned Jin Xi'er's job interview for a foreign position and expressed his hope that Jin Xi'er wouldn't leave. He asked Jin Xi'er's mother to persuade her not to go. At this moment, Liang Huaishi and Jin Xi'er returned home and were seen by Ling Feng from a distance. He was worried that Jin Xi'er would break his leg, so they both hid in the kitchen. Jin's mother was concerned that they couldn't hide for long without being discovered.
After Jin Xi'er returned home, she played music for Lan Chen. Ling Feng, who had been listening, intended to come out but Jin's mother suggested waiting for a while to listen to what they were talking about. Politely, Jin Xi'er asked Liang Huaishi about the new proposal she had submitted, and Liang Huaishi, looking at the secretary, claimed their proposal had issues. Jin Xi'er said that her proposal had already been confirmed by Lan Chen. Liang Huaishi handed her the documents, and upon inspection, she discovered that the data and selling points in the proposal had been tampered with. She asked who had given this proposal to Mr. Zeng.
Lan Chen mentioned that it was their project manager who had sent it to him. They had just started discussing when Lan Chen and Jin Xi'er returned home. They had to hide in the kitchen. Startled by Ling Feng and the others, Jin Xi'er pretended to be tired and suggested that Lan Chen go and rest in his own room.
Lan Chen originally wanted to go to Jin Xi'er's room to rest but was rejected. Just as he was about to leave, he overheard a radio message from Jin Xi'er. He finally realized that his secretary was two people.
Episode 29 Recap
Lan's mother told Lan Chen that his secretary was actually two people. Lan Chen, feeling sad, told his mother that only they should know about this, and it seems that the sales volume is already set. Lan Chen recalled the time he wanted to rest in his secretary's room but left when the radio played the message from the day Jin Xi'er was drunk. In the message, she admitted to liking Lan Chen, but Lan Chen was the one Jin Xi'er liked. Lan Chen angrily asked Jin Xi'er why she kept this from him. He firmly told Jin Xi'er that the person he likes is her, not her sister, the one who fought with him and ran away from the banquet with him.
Jin Xi'er directly rejected him, and she cried in sorrow. The other four people stopped hiding and stood up awkwardly. It was raining at this moment, and Lan Chen walked slowly. Just when he was heartbroken, he received a call from his mother. Their new product was experiencing a sharp decline in sales. Although it still had good word of mouth, it was losing momentum.
Lan Chen remembered Liang Huaishi saying that their new product had no soul. While the Gu family had won acclaim, the sales volume was difficult to maintain. Lan Chen decided to halt all new products himself, thinking the consequences were too significant. He wanted to make the decision on his own without informing Lan Rensha.
Lan Chen earnestly examined the issue with the new product. At this time, Gu Qianqian came to Lan Chen's house and intentionally tried to seduce him. Liang Huaishi and Ling Feng, upon hearing Jin Xi'er's confession, were both feeling downcast. Jin Xi'er told her sister that Lan Chen hadn't been to the company for a long time, and she now felt that she was quite immature.
Episode 30 Recap
Jin Xi'er encouraged her sister to be herself again and compete fairly. Lan Rensha knew that his grandson Lan Chen was unhappy, and he told Lan Chen that he was taking care of everything for him in the hope that he could leave behind a smoothly developing company for Lan Chen. Jin Xi'er called Lan Chen, making four consecutive calls, but he unexpectedly hung up on her. Lan Chen was unsure about the situation when he answered the call, and Jin Xi'er scolded him. He was then informed to meet her at the square. Lan Chen directly rejected her, and Jin Xi'er said she would wait for him until midnight.
After much hesitation, Lan Chen had no choice but to meet her. Jin Xi'er asked him why he took so long to arrive. Upon his arrival, she kissed him passionately, leaving Lan Chen surprised. When he was about to confront her for her behavior, Lan Chen initiated a kiss, and they reconciled.
Lan Chen's new product was once again in trouble. This time, he didn't involve Gu Qianqian and arranged for her assistant to go to the meeting. It turned out that these two individuals were deliberately placed by Lan Chen beside Gu Qianqian, and now they had all mastered the technology and could operate independently. The new product of the beauty company soared in sales the moment it was launched, creating another sales legend.
Jin Xi'er and Lan Chen entered a romantic relationship. Jin Xi'er taught Lan Chen how to box, and Ling Feng, standing by, felt very frustrated. Jin Xi'er also focused on her work. Liang Huaishi and Lan Chen began to cooperate and candidly revealed that they were not only collaborating with WE but had also invested in Gu's new company. Jin Xi'er informed Lan Chen about her plan to work abroad. She firmly believed that their relationship could withstand the test. Lan Chen suggested that they get married first to ensure she wouldn't be taken away by someone else. He then led Jin Xi'er to try on a wedding dress, watching her descend the stairs in it, feeling immensely happy.
Episode 31 Recap
Jin Xi'er appeared before Lan Chen in a wedding dress, and he happily said, "I do." Jin Xi'er jokingly replied that she hadn't agreed yet. Lan Chen received a phone call and angrily threw a document in front of him, asking what Big Brother Yuan wanted. Big Brother Yuan presented evidence of Gu Qianqian's pregnancy and all the doctor's reports confirming that the child was Lan Chen's. Lan Chen was left speechless. Lan's mother asked her son what had happened, but he was also unclear about what had transpired. He only remembered that after drinking the water Gu Qianqian had given him that night, he didn't recall what had happened.
Gu's parents, upon learning that their daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, came to confront Lan Chen. Big Brother Yuan used this as leverage and stated that he could keep the secret but wanted to clear the false accounts. Lan's mother had no choice but to compromise. She received a message that Lan Chen's grandfather had been in a car accident and might become a vegetable. She was terrified. Lan Chen promised Gu's parents that he would take responsibility. He called a subordinate and noted the similarities between the events of the day and his father's accident.
Jin Xi'er mustered the courage to tell her mother about her plans to work abroad. Her mother expressed understanding, acknowledging that her child had grown up. As Jin Xi'er opened the door, she saw Gu Qianqian with a group of women at her house. Gu Qianqian provocatively handed Jin Xi'er a wedding invitation. Jin Xi'er coldly tore it up in front of them. She warned Gu Qianqian that while eating habits could be messy, there were some things that shouldn't be spoken carelessly. Gu Qianqian, given Jin Xi'er's disbelief, suggested that she could attend the wedding the next day, mocking Jin Xi'er as just a brief episode in Lan Chen's life.
Episode 32 Recap
Gu Qianqian scoffed at Jin Xi'er, saying she was just a minor episode in Lan Chen's life. Jin Xi'er threatened to confront Gu Qianqian physically, but Lan Chen stopped her, feeling remorseful for what had happened and offering Jin Xi'er a chance to hit him. Jin Xi'er couldn't be bothered to engage with her physically.
Zeng Huaishi warned Gu Qianqian to leave the place, or she would be going against Li Huai International. Jin Xi'er, however, continued to question Lan Chen about whether he had ever loved her. Lan Chen, contrary to his true feelings, claimed he had never liked her.
Ling Feng rode his motorcycle to the street, offering no chance for Lan Chen to explain, and physically confronted him, demanding to know why he treated Jin Xi'er this way. He believed that if you obtained something, you should cherish it. Lan Chen apologized profusely but continued to be beaten and scolded by Zeng Huaishi. He felt that Lan Chen could bring happiness to Jin Xi'er, so he had let her go in the first place, but now Lan Chen had cast her aside.
Lan Chen mentioned that his grandfather was in a coma, and fulfilling this wedding was his dying wish. Zeng Huaishi stated that from now on, Jin Xi'er belonged to him, as he had started a new company abroad. Seeing no chance, Ling Feng cried in despair. Lan Chen asked Zeng Huaishi to take care of Jin Xi'er, and Ling Feng pointed out that Jin Xi'er had protected them.
While sitting in the car, Jin Xi'er saw her wedding photo with Lan Chen. Today, Lan Chen had chosen to marry Gu Qianqian, and Zeng Huaishi was holding a press conference for the new company, both events taking place on the same day. While in the car, Jin Xi'er saw an advertisement about infertility and suddenly recalled something. The host was presiding over Gu Qianqian and Lan Chen's wedding, and she seemed quite happy. However, Lan Chen was hesitating at this moment.
Episode 33 (Ending) Recap
When the host asked Lan Chen if he was willing to marry Gu Qianqian, he hesitated. Zeng Huaishi announced that Gu's Group had won the bid. Just as he was about to conclude the press conference successfully, a sudden image appeared on the big screen. Jin Xi'er, dressed in a wedding gown, burst into the church, expressing her unwillingness for them to become husband and wife.
Jin Xi'er arrived at the press conference with evidence, explaining that the bidding documents had been secretly tampered with. She clarified her identity and stated that the reason she came was to reveal the truth. She directly said that they would finish first today and then go abroad. If Gu Qianqian wanted to marry Lan Chen, she needed to clarify who the father of her child was.
Gu Qianqian panicked, and Jin Xi'er revealed that she had survived twenty years ago but could never bear children. She presented hospital reports from the foreign hospital where Gu Qianqian had regular check-ups. Dr. He Hao was her attending physician, and those present were all accomplices. Gu's family was willing to conspire like this to take over the Lan family, and the Lan family sacrificed their child's happiness for the sake of reputation and benefits.
In front of everyone, Jin Xi'er asked Lan Chen if he was willing to leave with her, and without hesitation, Lan Chen walked towards her and confessed his love, expressing his gratitude for meeting her in this life and proposing to her in front of everyone.
Jin Xi'er's evidence was irrefutable, and Zeng Huaishi announced the cancellation of Li Yuan and the Story Group's bid due to suspected malicious business competition, terminating all cooperation. The winning bid was now awarded to WE Cosmetics Group. Everything Li Yuan had planned was exposed, but Lan Chen had known about it in advance, securing the company's bid and Li Ren's recovery.
