Footprints of Change Episode 29

Material girl vs multicultural professor

Score one big for Mr professor. No clue how he knew where the address was, but he made it his business to save her. He went to the door and asked for XiNing, since she had stalled for so long, she hadn’t offered Shan anything yet except company. BeiChuan swapped bags while girlfriend hurled insults. Next ring was police for Ms Shan. Guess they noticed that ultra elite Mercedes she was driving. I am understanding Wen with Fu much better now. XiNing asks to leave after saying she was there to visit a school friend. When they went to check bag she dropped it and knew the gig was up. Miraculously, the books she said were there, were actually there. She went home and did some contrition crying. She needs to reflect and be very grateful she has someone that cares about her. He brought the money bag back, knocked in the door and left. She found the bag and knew who left it. Next day she is in the phone trying to get her order out. BeiChuan drops by with food. She says thanks for the food and dismisses him. She should have hugged that man and said thank you. She should have treasured the one that looked out for her best interest when she was too damned stubborn to do it herself. She is still focused on the problem with shipment more than gratitude of the problem he solved for her. Shan can’t hold grudges because she didn’t imply anything untoward with the visit. Yan is discussing Shan’s difficulties when BeiChuan comes in. He doesn’t say a word but takes Yan’s fancy phone and throws it through the window and left. That spoke volumes about what he thought of his friend almost getting his girlfriend in serious trouble. Yan is packing his money and running. It is not clear where exactly he’s headed but he has friends scattered globally so he will land on his feet. XiNing returns his money and he adds it to the stack and they part ways. BeiChuan’s book has taken off and become quite popular. He has a book signing at some big place and XiNing looks on but doesn’t let him know she is there. She knows his course was the best path though much slower to progress. While she admires him, she chooses to save face and leave with nothing but a break up note left for him. I expected more courage from her. She was all Miss in his face til she was proven wrong and then she can’t even speak to him. I guess a note is better than nothing, but not much. She continues to take the low road mistaking it for the high one.😝 A year has lapsed and story continues. XiNing returns to town in her big ass Mercedes, scarlet red lipstick and designer sunglasses. She meets BeiChuan on the bridge and jumps on him like she’s a long lost lover returning. In her eyes she is. She thinks he will be impressed with her stuff and status, forgetting that was always last on his list. He was politer than I would have been. He simply said what’s wrong with you? And he leaves. His look is a mixture of sadness and contempt as she is all fake joy and listing off stuff with no ‘sad I’m sorry for leaving you’ entering her pea brain. I am glad she isn’t blood with the Lin girls. I can blame Wen’s clan. 😝She is the cautionary tale of this group of three. She is probably still redeemable, but she definitely wasted a decade extra with self absorption. She is not a credit to her family no matter how much money she has made. She has become the Shen sis.😝🙄 BeiChuan is far from flawless, but his care for her brought about stronger actions. He was waiting for his words to catch up. She didn’t bother waiting and now wants greeted with open arms. I’m with BeiChuan, what the hell is wrong with her that she thinks she has this coming? Yan and XiNing share a meal and both realize the other has had no real contact with BeiChuan. I like the big sis talk she has with Jiuling. Little sis certainly needs to learn about restraint. BeiChuan has a chat with his business partner. He gets teased about the relative he has that would love bike rides around town and living in a partitioned room. BeiChuan is not ascetic like Wen. He simply appreciates living within his means and is not covetous of things he can’t afford. Tong tong strikes again. That smutty book she had published incriminated BeiChuan,XiNing, Yan and even Jiuling. She fesses up under duress as XiNing lets her know what she has done. There is a sad way she is just like XiNing, she wants to throw money at it and thinks it;s forgiven. Guess the professor unfortunately has a type. 😝 The episode ends with Tong Tong crying after him and BeiChuan finally yelling at her to leave him alone. The poor kid is truly delusional. BeiChuan has resigned and his career is over thanks to this stupid stunt. Here, I am not as sorry for him, he had so many times to report her, clear the air, and set her straight. But he didn’t look after himself and minimally corrected her. His lack of action has cost him big.
