New year rejection

They start off quite happily to visit Ye Meng’s family for new year, and then the gossipy biddies compared him to the doc and found him wanting. Ye Meng didn’t know, but this was a huge trigger for him since he is rejected by his family. Her family looked so warm and inviting, but weren’t. This hurt him worse because so unexpected. She tries to spend time with him later and he refuses tho he watches her fireworks. He gives the story of his fish that turned black and now has infected another. He firmly rejects her and says she will be better off with another. His gma and her friend both think he should get over the gossip and have a good talk. But the two hard heads won’t. They would rather take potshots at each other across the room than sit down face to face and have a hard conversation. Kai is trying with Ya En. She knows he’s been around more often but he has treated her like a sibling for so long that she can’t imagine him liking her. They found a pawnshop where Ye Meng’s mom’s ring was appraised, but do not know who the man was that had the ring. We have heard nothing of her dad til this phone call. So what’s his story? Does he live at work? At the restaurant, Ye Meng makes sure to give digs at Jin Yu, but I really wish she would have just asked him what happened for such a drastic change. He was so hurt crying by his gma in the hospital. He was so stunned that her family had such low estimation of him before even having a real conversation with him. He just couldn’t handle it. And how can you tell the girl you like, sorry your family hates me so we can’t date? It’s a weird place. She should have done some asking because I am sure the young auntie could have filled her in. It’s amazing how fragile relationships can be when family sticks in. I hold both of these knuckleheads responsible tho for not being close enough to speak their minds and clear the air. If they can’t do that, they shouldn’t be a couple.😝

Ya En + Kai

Jin Yu visits gma and she gets on his case when he says he’s not the real grandson. So paternal gma or she would be in a private room somewhere fancy. What is the mystery with the dad? Were they brothers? If he’s illegitimate, why is he a donor match? The mystery of the green ring. How did this guy get it legitimately? Did her gma sell it for house payment? Mr tall dark and broody knows how to fight. Maybe learned from sweet tai chi days. These two are so mismatched in so many ways, but there is something there. They save each other pretty consistently, but do they bring out the best in each other? That remains to be seen. It is so damn bittersweet for Kai. He has been mooning over the wrong girl for ten years. I am so glad he now knows it was Ya En that rescued him. You could see the pieces click as he registered her having to leave school, that she was the one that wrote about him on the bench, and she has been the one looking over him. It also explains why her soon to be ex was so jealous of him. Now that he realizes who he has really loved all these years, I hope he tells her and makes up for lost time. I like Jin Yu’s goldfish family. I want some happy in his life and I want some resolution in Ye Meng’s. She is still drifting and indecisive. She needs to decide what course she is on and get going. She is still floating along not letting herself belong anywhere. Not even her past job or she would not have let homie nemesis girl win. She would have fought tooth and nail to stay. But something in her said this wasn’t the right place or people. Hopefully she will stop running and settle herself down and choose her path. I think Jin Yu and his gma hoping with them.

Guardian Angel

Jin Yu was quite the gentleman when he was literally yanked into Ye Meng’s room. What was more interesting is he learned they had a mutual friend…..a therapist treating those with depression. Here he learned a bit of Ye Meng’s past and had a nice chat with the doc. What surprised me is he told her candidly that he had known him for years. No attempt to play clueless. This is where new girl was old nemesis. She tells him how much she will forever hate Ye Meng and then adds…we can still be friends right?😝 Anybody that can harbor that much hatred should not be included in friend list. That’s just asking for trouble. There is a flashback of him by a pool. His wrist is slashed and he jumps in wanting to die. With a mom like that, who could blame him? Was she upset that his father died because he was the other donor? I don’t even know if I want to know Jin Yu’s backstory. I just want him to have a bright future without them. Ye Meng is going all out to plan a bday party for him and he is out of town. He did not explain why but little sis filled in everything. I am glad she told YeMeng and that Ye Meng got the first ticket out to visit him. He thought he had dreamed her. Who is his father? I thought he was the one with the money but apparently it’s the mom. So a sibling, older or younger? He is the beloved son and Jin Yu is the organ donor. It is disgusting she could not visit and then said oh btw this Visa card should cover your inconvenience. The only reason I wished he would have kept it would be for his gma’s medical bills. But I can understand why he found the money to be tainted. Ye Meng’s visit at the hospital proves she can be selfless. She wanted to be his guardian angel and for a brief time she was. I am not completely sure why she didn’t tell him she was right there when he said not to visit, but maybe she was respecting his privacy. The mom is vile, she deliberately brought up one of the most painful nights of his life and then pretended it actually affected her. I don’t know why she couldn’t have been honest with him when it was obvious he wouldn’t say no. To be so cold to him and so gushing over the recipient of his marrow was …I don’t even have words for that. She forgot 4 words. Thank you and happy bday. She thinks her money does the talking and for most of the time it probably does, but when she is truly on her deathbed I hope he says no. And I hope he knows who is real father is and changes his name. 😝I liked that Ye Meng greeted him and chided him for telling her not to visit. It was the first truly sweet smile he had for her. That cake…probably did not compare to the fancy cheesecake he brought back, but I bet he thought the best cake he’d ever had. I wonder if this was his first bday cake from someone that truly cared about him? Both of these two have some serious scars, but I am rooting for them to succeed as a couple.
