Lao Mo, Hu Cheng, Tian Qiuzi, and others had dinner together. During the meal, Hu Cheng noticed Tian Qiuzi being indifferent toward him. When she went to the restroom, he heard piano music playing outside—a familiar melody that was a piece they used to play together. After dinner, Tian Qiuzi’s boyfriend came to pick her up. Hu Cheng saw everything and looked visibly upset.

The investigation into Qin Can concluded, and it turned out that all the accusations against him were baseless. The company decided to compensate Qin Can and his department for the harm caused and would soon make the findings public. With this ordeal finally behind him, Qin Can took Ning Yue and some colleagues out for dinner after work to celebrate overcoming this challenge. However, bad news followed shortly.

The company announced layoffs, and Qin Can’s department was required to let one person go. Qin Can felt that this was the worst time to cut staff in the Legal Department, which was already short-handed, but the decision had been made, and even Luo Yating had no authority to intervene. Qin Can was left with no choice but to carry out the order. The only person being let go from the Legal Department was Ning Yue.

She was heartbroken, having just transitioned to a permanent employee, only to be laid off so soon. Qin Can, unwilling to sign the termination papers, asked Ning Yue to wait while he worked on finding a solution. Lao Qian, a senior member of the Legal Department, pointed out that the company had never laid off anyone from their department before. Pan Jie felt that the decision to target Ning Yue seemed intentional.

After hearing their thoughts, Ning Yue also began to suspect something unusual was at play. Before she could figure things out, Ning Yue received a call from her mother. Earlier, her mother had been getting along well with her in-laws, even teaching them how to use a dishwasher. However, an incident occurred where Ning Yue’s mother-in-law accidentally bumped into her husband after stepping out of the kitchen.

Ning Yue’s mother misinterpreted the situation and assumed her father-in-law had hit his wife, prompting her to call Ning Yue. This led to an argument between Hu Cheng’s father and Ning Yue’s mother. Hu Cheng’s father complained that he worked hard and that his family relied entirely on him. Ning Yue’s mother disagreed, insisting that Ning Yue also contributed equally to the household. Ning Yue’s mother accused Hu Cheng’s father of domestic violence, refusing to believe his explanation.

Feeling wronged, Hu Cheng’s father lashed out with harsh words, which caused Ning Yue’s mother to faint in anger. Ning Yue demanded that her father-in-law apologize, but Hu Cheng arrived at that moment and intervened. After understanding the situation, Hu Cheng decided that his father should not apologize and took responsibility for resolving the issue himself. Hu Cheng explained that both sides had acted irrationally in the heat of the moment and suggested letting the matter go.

He apologized to Ning Yue on behalf of the family. However, Ning Yue was dissatisfied, pointing out that her father-in-law consistently showed a lack of respect. She warned that if he didn’t change, they would have to ask him to leave the household. She was particularly concerned about their son, Hu Ziyuan, as this was a critical time for shaping his values, and she didn’t want him to be negatively influenced.

Both Qin Can and Ning Yue suspected that Luo Yating was being manipulated into targeting Ning Yue. Someone was using Luo Yating as a tool to get rid of her. Ning Yue recalled that Hu Cheng had a good relationship with General Manager Chen and decided to probe him. Her suspicions were confirmed—Hu Cheng had indeed been pulling strings behind the scenes. Determined, Ning Yue confronted Luo Yating directly.

She told Luo not to allow herself to be used as a pawn. She pointed out how suspicious it was that, out of so many resumes, only hers had been placed before Luo. Although Luo agreed that the situation was odd, the layoff notice had already been issued, and she was unable to reverse the decision. Ning Yue’s mother decided to move back to the care facility, as she didn’t want to endure any further unpleasantness in the household.

Ning Yue felt guilty but also didn’t want her mother to feel mistreated. When Ning Yue went to renew her mother’s stay at the facility, she discovered that Hu Cheng had already been there earlier that morning and had extended the payment until the following year.
