In this episode, Lin Xintong’s world is turned upside down as she confronts Qin Moyao with her newfound sight.
Revelations and Recognition
Lin Xintong stumbles upon Qin Moyao taking a bath at home and excitedly informs him of her regained eyesight. She shares the painful revelation of witnessing Chi Shan and Xia Yuwei’s betrayal. However, as she looks at Qin Moyao’s face, she makes an unexpected connection. She recognizes him as the person who had a conflict with her father in the past, which led to her father leaving her.
A Complex Explanation
Qin Moyao attempts to clarify the situation, explaining that it wasn’t as Lin Xintong had perceived. He reveals that he had been brought by Chi Shan to amend the will but vehemently denies any involvement in her father’s death.
Doubt and Rejection
Lin Xintong remains resolute in her belief that Qin Moyao is responsible for her father’s demise. She questions why he didn’t admit it earlier if he were innocent. In an unexpected turn of events, Qin Moyao kisses Lin Xintong, prompting her to wonder if the sensation is the same as before. He is merely trying to shield her from a complicated situation, but Lin Xintong remains steadfast and walks away.
Seeking Solace in Spirits
Qin Moyao drowns his sorrows in alcohol, and Zhou Mo attempts to persuade him to confront the pain rather than prolong it. However, Qin Moyao is convinced that Lin Xintong, now that she can see again, poses a greater threat to Chi Shan and is therefore in more danger.
A Morning Decision
The next morning, Lin Xintong awakens to a servant’s invitation to join Mr. Chi and a lawyer downstairs for the signing of the will. She ponders the truth behind Qin Moyao’s words and decides to investigate further. Concealing her regained sight, she seeks assistance from a servant to navigate her way to the living room.
Confirmation of the Truth
As the lawyer begins to announce the contents of her father’s will, Chi Shan is taken aback and questions its accuracy. Lin Xintong listens carefully and, with a sinking feeling, realizes that Qin Moyao’s claims were indeed true.
This episode highlights the complexity of trust, deception, and the difficult choices our characters must make as they grapple with the revelations that have come to light.
