Episode 3: Confronting Coldness
Mochiku, the kind-hearted man known for his affectionate puppy, found himself in an unexpected situation as he was offered an interview opportunity. Despite his initial reluctance, Mochiku agreed to cooperate, hoping to shed light on his compassionate nature and the bond he shared with his beloved pet.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhen’s determination to bridge the gap with her mother, Wan Ting, led to an unexpected opportunity. In exchange for her cooperation with the interview, Xu Zhen was granted permission to attend a meeting with Wan Ting at Gaiasha. It was a chance for Xu Zhen to finally confront her mother and address the years of distance between them.
As the meeting progressed, Xu Zhen’s heart raced with anticipation. This was her moment to finally speak her truth and seek reconciliation with Wan Ting. But as the conversation unfolded, Xu Zhen’s hopes were dashed by her mother’s coldness and indifference.
Wan Ting’s dismissive attitude left Xu Zhen reeling, her dreams of reconciliation shattered in an instant. Despite her best efforts to reach out to her mother, Wan Ting remained distant, unwilling to acknowledge the pain she had caused her daughter.
Heartbroken and defeated, Xu Zhen retreated from the meeting, her spirits crushed by her mother’s rejection. But just as she was about to give up hope, an unexpected opportunity presented itself.
Heo Zhen, determined to help his father in any way he could, sought out Wan Ting once again. This time, he approached her with a plea for help, hoping to appeal to her sense of compassion and humanity.
But Wan Ting’s response was far from what Heo Zhen had expected. Cold and detached, she rebuffed his attempts to bring personal matters into her professional life, leaving Heo Zhen feeling helpless and alone.
Desperate for a solution, Heo Zhen turned to Gu Jijun for help. With Gu Jijun’s assistance, he arranged another meeting with Wan Ting, hoping that this time she would be willing to listen to his plea.
But once again, Wan Ting’s response was disappointing. Instead of offering support or understanding, she introduced Heo Zhen to her doctor and offered to help him financially, effectively shutting down any further discussion.
As Heo Zhen left the meeting, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of defeat. Despite his best efforts to seek help for his father, he had been met with nothing but coldness and indifference. And as he walked away from Gaiasha, he couldn’t shake the feeling that his world was crumbling around him.
