On Wu Kai's side, Xie Cailing could no longer keep it a secret, and it was ultimately discovered that she had embezzled the compensation money meant for her siblings. She was then ordered to pay restitution.
Xie Cailing attempted to act like a deadbeat and refused to pay up, but she ended up being forced to comply through forced execution.
Scared that her luxury car and house would be confiscated, and worried about her daughter's high school entrance exams possibly being affected, Xie Cailing eventually scraped together the money and paid Xie Xinghui.
Xie Xinghui didn't expect to get the money back so easily and was grateful, insisting on treating Jiang Jiu and Wu Kai to a meal.
Since Wu Kai was on duty and it wasn't convenient for him to attend, Xie Xinghui invited Jiang Jiu and her colleagues for the meal, as well as Bai Yiran, because after all, Bai Yiran had helped her in the past and she hadn't treated her to a meal yet.
