She needed his signatures for the papers, so she lied that the papers were reports from the company and he should sign where she circled, and was seducing him in the process to distract him. I think she also stole his seal to stamp the papers, but I'm not sure about that.

I will NEVER understand listening to the words of a woman that tried to sabotage both your business and relationship SEVERAL times. JX really listened to ZD after everything she experienced with HT, especially meeting his family and the wonton restaurant.
What is funny is that she felt he did not like her enough or love her, but still thought he would not sue her for what she did because of their relationship. That was such a big risk, backed by emotional recklessness. Maybe I'm too rational, but I just can't. I'd just quietly break up with the guy after getting funding from a neutral trust institution.

He was right on the nose.

Grandpa spoke ep 31 into existence lmao

That is because this is better than what she did in the novel

She was probably his first love and he liked her well enough. So she definitely had an impact then. And he did not harbour a grudge. Why would you think that because he was recollecting what happened 10 years ago? Did he ever do or say anything to show that he was angry at her when he saw her again?

He was not colluding with her competitor. He IS her competitor.

All my argument is on the business side. She should have gone with a neutral trust company instead of the biggest competitor of her current investor. Especially when she knows that there may be scheming with such a person on the down low.
I don't even really care about who is more wrong, only that she made the wrong business decision. And the way she did it, she definitely knows she did wrong. She stole his seal and in the novel, made him blindly sign the papers. That is a crime and what's funny is that she thinks he does not love her, but she even told him that she had been sleeping with him for so long that he wouldn't do anything to her.

I agree

He did not pine for her for 10 years. He had a crush on her 10 years ago. There a world of difference.

It is easy to say it, but not easy to do. How would he answer the question of what will be XingChen and her futures after this?
JX started this company because she did not want to work under someone again after what happened to her, because she was given the platform to fulfil her dreams with an excellent team and resources and she did not accept it. So how do you tell her that she may lose her CEO position, because she very obviously cannot be the CEO of Hannah-Xingchen when they merge. She does not have that capacity, and Hanhai is much bigger.
So this situation is like things not going according to your timing. They have only been dating for 3 months, so I understand his hesitation and fear. It is quite unfortunate.

I know. That is what the ending of my comment was referring to.

I do not bash her for their breakup, but for what she did with her business. She was not being smart. Her main goal earlier was to neutralise the power HT/Dongyan had over her company by accepting the investment of a neutral trust institution, but she let her emotions override her good sense and listened to people she knew were enemies. In the end, it backfired. HT got all the power.

He was secretive, but he was not manipulative towards her. And you cannot blame him for being secretive. This is his first time letting someone else into his world on such an intimate level. And they have been dating for only 3 months. No way he is expected to learn all the do's and dont's of dating and change so quickly.
For what he is doing concerning business, it is imperative he tightly guards his business secrets. One wrong move can cost more than we can imagine.

Did they really not kill Xie Chunhe to make SRQ look smart and PWX look stupid????? I'm pissed. I had this question when the episode first came out and now I'm watching it properly.
In the novel, PWX actually poisoned him first with the poison of the fragrant beauty. But he also knew that because the poison was initially introduced by Su Ronghua, and since it was what SRQ used to kill LR in their past life (as they originally assumed he was the one), then SRQ should also have the antidote for the poison. So he used another poison to kill Xie Chunhe, something SRQ did not see coming. He put the poison in the medicine sachet, the medicine they were going to use to try to cure Xie Chunk, because the doctors would not think to test the medicine for poison.

I really really admire Lili. I hope she gets a good ending.

She died in childbirth. He really should have told her when she confessed to him. I don't know how he did not expect that she would have wanted marriage from what she told him.

XYX seems to be very traumatised or seriously affected by what happened to his wife and protecting his daughter. So this relationship with LL can't move forward. Breaking up with him now is the best thing for her.

Yes. She makes him softer, because he has too many hard edges, and he makes her stronger. They are opposites that are quite complementary.

Yes. I actually think what he says to her (from) the novel, is quite romantic. And from the last chapter of the extra, they brought it back and it was so beautiful even though I was crying so hard lol.
