Dream-shattering reality and a heart for art

"Never-Ending Summer" — a series of paintings including four works: "Winter", "Spring", "Summer", and "Autumn". ✨ It's actually beautiful that the title of this drama represents a series of Xixiao's mother's art pieces, especially knowing he wants to become an artist, that it's his passion, and how much his mother's talent and works mean to him. 🤗🥹And that makes it even more painful to watch how he gets hurt because of Wen's and her mother's schemes. He deserves the absolute best for who he is and how deep his heart actually is. All the romantic moments he planned for the two of them were amazing. 🥹🥰 Wen looked stunning in that dress, and for a moment, it felt like she would have let go of her plan and just be with Xixiao... 😔But then he went back to the stage to defend the mentioned art piece series. During his speech, Wen coincidentally received the hospital call about her grandmother, and meanwhile, she was asked to leave the banquet because Mrs. Lu doesn't know her. All of that together worked as a harsh reality check for her, and she set her mind back to her plan — to get the money from her mother, no matter the consequences. 😟She acted impulsively, and the consequences hurt... 😭💔

Payoffs and sabotage

This episode started differently with Ms Fang telling unknown party to start next phase and she wanted payment.😝 is Mr Liao doing this to make Fulaxida go to him for investing? Who is giving Mr Li a hard time overseas? Somebody is pulling the strings. What started off as a happy bday celebration turned into a Qian Fei whine fest. She has made a full circle of reasons to not get along with YiFei. She did not let him explain what happened and now makes assumptions about his feelings without asking. And Mr Ego get around to it when the time was right did himself no favors either. We get the dance competition and Dang Yu carted off to the hospital but with no follow up from that she is with JingJing on a project apologizing for missing Jian Fei’s bday. There is an unknown caller wishing her happy bday that Yi Fei had something to do with because he deleted the contact from her phone. There is a mysterious data file from Shanlifang needing verified and the colleague there is taking care of it instead of Yi Fei. Yi Fei is having to calm down a farmers’ mob because they received info their govt subsidies were being taken away from them. YiFei flew in personally to calm them down and explain the process and how everybody benefited from a network that allowed direct communication. While he is there Qian Fei has made it all about her. She has reason to be in a down mood and distrustful. But every time she has asked about Qin he told her straight up no. The timing of the business trip did seem convenient, but what does she know if his company or what they do? She is annoying me the most with Ms Fang taking second and YiFei third. 😝🤣That whole is she pregnant conversation could have been left out of the Jun family saga portion of drama. He hasn’t even kissed her yet 😝 at least mom kept her from collapsing on stage which was one unexpected act of kindness. Preview shows her walking into a banquet area where Wang is. That is the last thing I want to see for Qian Fei. 😝 This episode is about sneaks, liars and machinations behind the scenes sabotaging businesses. We just don’t know who or why yet. So maybe the target is more YiFei than Shanlifang. They are simply being delayed in the IPO process. Mr Liao seems most likely since he’s already poached people. I really want to see Ms Fang get justice. Her OCD washing of hands seems to occur when she is being less than truthful or upset. This was a bad place to stop. I hope the whine fest is over next episode and that the peripheral couples are minimally present. But I don’t look forward to seeing Wang in any capacity that includes Qian Fei. 😝
