Episode 2

As Bian Wuzhen quietly returned to the villa, the prelude to a family storm quietly began.The family's consternation is palpable, and Jae-yeol's role in this complex family dispute gradually becomes clear - he is nothing more than an innocent bystander, drawn into the vortex.

To get a glimpse of the truth behind this chaos, we go back eleven years.At that time, Aiyan and Wu Zhen were arguing over the custody of their children. During the confrontation outside the court, although Aiyan spoke fiercely, she could not hide the pain in her heart. She admitted that meeting him was the bleakest moment in her life.However, their children are like a ray of light in the darkness, lighting up each other's world.Wu Zhen, an unremitting entrepreneur, always entertained various innovative business ideas during the time the two spent together, and finally achieved his brilliant career.But the specific path of his wealth accumulation remains a mystery.

Hyun-jae seems to have a more open attitude towards his father, especially when he personally inspects the damage to Apartment 302; while Mi-rae is the complete opposite. Her coldness and alienation are the deep imprint left after that break.She firmly stated that she would have full authority to handle all matters related to the apartment, and even considered taking out a loan to get rid of the shackles of the villa, although Aiyan still had doubts about this.

Unfortunately, their house-hunting journey didn't bring the results they expected, and every listing seemed to struggle to meet their exacting standards.At the same time, the residents of the villa were overly enthusiastic about the arrival of the new landlord, but when they learned about his relationship with Aiyan and Mirai, their enthusiasm instantly solidified into consternation.

Among this group of residents, Li Zhenghe maintained a high degree of vigilance against Wuzhen. He suspected that the arson incident was inextricably linked to Wuzhen.This speculation is not groundless, because the match Wu Zhen once inadvertently revealed, as well as the burnt match stem in the first episode, have become supporting evidence.In addition, Jae Yeol privately revealed to Wu Jin that he would secretly“solve” the landlord's problem, adding a bit of mystery.

On the other side, clips of Nam Taiping's daily life are interspersed with montage techniques. Although he seems out of place in the plot at the moment, when he and Mi Lai meet by chance in the elevator, the thread of fate is quietly connected.Tae Ping naturally presses the 10th floor button for her, a move that undoubtedly deepens the subtle connection between the two.Yes, the seeds of love have quietly sprouted, waiting for the time to mature.

My Lai's life is also full of ups and downs.After experiencing an embarrassing incident with her ex-boyfriend, she chose to return to the embrace of her family, but unfortunately she was injured.Tai Ping's timely appearance saves her like a knight, but what Mi Lai longs for in her heart may be a more complete relief.——Take a break from endless busyness and stress.During a late-night conversation with a friend, she made a decision: to take a break from her dating life and focus on solving the problems at hand.And that perfect man who practices Taekwondo in his spare time may become an important pillar in My Lai's life at some point.

As for Moo Jin, the scars on his arms are noticeable in the post-bathroom changing scene.However, for the residents in the villa, they are more concerned about Wuzhen's staggering source of wealth.Although Aiyan is indifferent on the surface, she may be searching for this answer deep down in her heart.And Wu Zhen’s unexpected decision——Allowing Aiyan to continue to live in the apartment for free undoubtedly adds a layer of complexity to this family story.This is both generous aid and a subtle test of family relationships.

With My Lai's firm stance, she refused to accept any financial assistance from her father. Her independence and self-esteem are admirable.Hyun Jae’s attitude is completely opposite. He wholeheartedly stands by his father Wu Jin’s side and even posted a message on social media.He openly expresses his admiration for his father on Instagram, unabashedly praising him as “cool” and full of energy.This stark contrast makes the conflicts and differences within the family more prominent.

As night falls, the atmosphere in the restaurant is solemn and complicated.Wu Jin and Ai Yan sit face to face, and she bluntly questions the reason for his sudden appearance.In the silence and stares, Wu Zhen finally took off his guard and confessed the truth about his purchase of the villa.——It turned out that after he learned that their family lived there, he decided to buy the place, still harboring the desire to get back together with her and live together.His words revealed the hard work and changes he had silently made for this family, trying to prove his sincerity.

However, at this moment, an accident outside the restaurant broke the calm.Wu Zhen tried to retain Ai Yan and gently grabbed her wrist, but he did not expect that this scene would trigger a fierce reaction from Mi Lai.Her scream sounded like an alarm, instantly attracting the attention of those around her and unexpectedly involving Taiping in the dispute.

Taiping's appearance was like a strong wind. He rushed towards Wuzhen angrily and punched out, causing Wuzhen's nose to bleed immediately.Upon seeing this, Mi Lai rushed forward without hesitation and pushed Wu Zhen down with all his strength. The scene suddenly fell into chaos.This scene is not only an intuitive display of the internal conflicts within the family, but also a profound portrayal of the characters' personalities and emotional conflicts.

Going back to the day before the fire, an unusual atmosphere enveloped the family villa.The landlord was drinking and having fun with Wu Zhen outside, enjoying a moment of joy and indulgence; but inside the apartment, Wu Zhen showed a completely different side.He sternly stopped the landlord's out-of-control behavior, and even decisively announced the end of it all when the landlord lost control and threw objects at the wall.This series of abnormal behaviors can't help but make people wonder: What is going on?Is Wu Zhen trying to protect his family from harm, or does he have deeper motives and secrets?As the plot progresses, more mysteries and truths will gradually surface.
