Episode 1
Chu Chen had come to Beijing to get investment for his apps. The company he was negotiating with was Mutal Society, which happened to be also the company that his sister was hoping to get a job/internship with.
She was there for her second interview.
That morning, she heard from a news broadcast that a group of college students is wanted for fraudulent business with companies. The students had been conning companies with their so-called creations.
Seeing that her young brother, accompanied by a group of students, was negotiating with the boss of the Mutual Society, made her suspicious of her brother as well as being worried for him.
When Chu Chen got back to their hostel, Chu Chao was already packing his clothes back as well as her own as they were returning home.
She confiscated her brother’s mobile phone to make it impossible for him to contact anyone.
When they got home, Chu Chen at last managed to contact his associates. He was told that the deal was in a mess.
Meanwhile, Chu Chao met up with her friends and confessed to her suspicion about her brother. Her friends investigated and found out that Chu Chen had dropped out from Zheijiang University but he has no record of illegal dealings.
They had a family dinner. The mother peeled a couple of boiled egg to celebrate Chu Chan’s birthday. Chu Chan was expected to eat both eggs which were making his sister and father nervous.
Chu Chan was very hesitant, almost frightened but he bit into the first egg anyway. Chu Yao grabbed the rest of the egg from him and ate it herself while the father took the other one and halved it giving the half to his complaining wife and he ate the other half.
Meanwhile, Chu Chen left the room to be sick.
Interesting first episode. Bai Jing Ting still looks like a teenager despite being already 27.
Episode 2
Finally, Chu Chao found out the truth about Li Luo Sho’s business. He was not committing something fraudulent as she feared.
This episode explained that Chu Chen/ Li Luo Sho and Chu Chao are not biological siblings.
Apparently, the real Chu Chen and Li Luo Sho were best friends in elementary school. They became so closed that often Li Luo Sho would spend every waking moment at the Lis’ household. It so happened that his real surname was Li as well.
Anyway, Chu Chen was alone at home when there was a fire. He died in the hospital but his poor mother could not take this. She was later diagnosed with PTSD and to cope with her severe heartbreak, she put her attention to Li Luo Sho and started thinking of him as her son Chu Chen.
The doctor said that it was better to indulge the mother because if she has an attack, her condition would worsen.
Young Li Luo Sho volunteered to pretend as Chu Chen and it had been years since then.
