At Zhao's mother's birthday banquet, Xingtang took Jialan and Xiaolian to the banquet.Her husband didn't come with her, so her cousin took the opportunity to make fun of her, but Lin's mother held up the scene for her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders.During the dinner, Nanny Feng whispered to Xingtang that Qian Shaoze was also here. Mother Zhao was afraid that he would cause trouble, so she arranged another table, but he disappeared after drinking.Xingtang immediately sent people to search.

Jialan deliberately took a step slowly and took Xiaolian to follow her later, so as not to reveal something she shouldn't know.Xingtang suddenly thought of the library and hurried there. He excused himself to ask for a pair of thick-soled shoes and sent Jialan away, leaving Xiaolian outside to guard her.Jialan was worried about Xiaolian, but couldn't find a chance to take her away.On the way, she met Jiugao dressed as a woman and could only tell the truth where Xingtang had gone.

Jiugao forwarded the news to Nanke at the male guest's office, who then reported it to Jinqi. At the same time, he advised Jialan not to go back if she wanted to save her life.Jialan refused to leave alone, so she turned around and rushed to the library. Finally, she took Xiaolian away before everyone else, took her and hid her nearby, and told her not to say anything.Although Xiaolian didn't understand what happened, she still obeyed her arrangements.

Qian Shaoze heard that Jin Qi invited Mr. Shouyi, a celebrity, to celebrate Xingtang's birthday. He mistakenly thought that the relationship between the two couples had improved, and he was afraid that Xingtang would not want him, so he rushed to have a private meeting.Jin Qi invited Mr. Shouyi to the banquet, but in fact he was interested in Zhao Jiazheng's search for editor candidates, and wanted to use this as an excuse to let Zhao's father see his daughter's affair in front of his eyes so that they could negotiate a reconciliation.After receiving the news, he led Zhao's father and others to the library, and sure enough he bumped into Xingtang and Shaoze.Zhao Gang quickly accompanied Mr. Shouyi for a walk elsewhere to prevent the family scandal from continuing to spread.

Father Zhao angrily beat Qian Shaoze, but Xingtang stepped forward to protect him.In order to protect himself, Shaoze claimed that Xingtang took the initiative to seduce her. Only then did Xingtang realize that the feelings he cherished could not withstand the slightest storm.Jin Qi took advantage of the situation and proposed a solution: if he wrote a letter of divorce or let Xingtang die violently, the Zhao family would be equally embarrassed, and the latter would not be able to enter the Lin family's ancestral grave.Even Zhao's father couldn't accept it, so Jin Qi proposed to divorce on the grounds of emotional discord to save some face for both parties.At this point, Zhao's father had no choice but to make a written statement according to his wishes.
