A furious Shan Cai settles down at the piano. She wonders how it is ever possible for her to be married to Ah Si and is disgusted at the thought of Feng being her mother-in-law. Shan Cai bangs randomly at the piano as an act of rebellion. The F4 looks on worriedly. Feng glares at Shan Cai. Shan Cai stops banging and returns Feng’s glare boldly. Suddenly, Shan Cai starts playing a melodious piece and recites a piece of writing by a famous philosopher. The writing tells of a woman who, overcame by expensive jewels, becomes materialistic, proud and looks down upon others. This woman, who only seeks power, wealth and status, unwittingly loses her dignity, soul and purity. With the end of the recital, Shan Cai ends the harmonious piano piece.  

Shan Cai asks Feng if a person’s worth should really be measured by just whether she could play the piano, or if she is from a wealthy family and wears expensive clothing. She does not think that knowing how to play the piano is a big deal. She proudly tells everyone that the melodious piece is the only piano piece that she knows how to play and she doesn’t care what they think. Shan Cai walks off. On her way out, Xi Men gives her a hi-5. (The F4 are proud of her) She wishes Ah Si happy birthday and turns to leave. Ah Si stops her. Feng reprimands Ah Si for lying to her that Shan Cai is the daughter of a CEO and reminds Ah Si of his own status. However, Ah Si tells his mother that he doesn’t care if Shan Cai is poor or rich. Feng tells him that being the only son of the Dao Ming family, he cannot be obsessed with a girl like Shan Cai. But Ah Si only knows that he is in love with Shan Cai and that is all that mattered. Feng slaps Ah Si. Shocked, Shan Cai tries to speak up for Ah Si but Feng shuts her up and orders her to leave the mansion. 

Ah Si grabs Shan Cai and turns to leave. Feng moves to stop them and orders the servants and guards to prevent Ah Si from leaving. However, Lei stands in front of Feng, and does not allow her to go after them. Mei Zuo grabs the servants and Xi Men helps to take Shan Cai’s things out. With their help, Ah Si and Shan Cai manage to escape. 

Ah Si drives out to an open space under a bridge. He drapes his jacket over Shan Cai to keep her warm. He praises her for playing the piano well. Shan Cai knows that Feng told her to play the piano hoping to embarrass her, and wonders why Ah Si did not help her. Ah Si tells her that he actually felt happy when he heard Shan Cai banging randomly on the piano. He explains that he knows that Feng was trying to embarrass Shan Cai, but knowing Shan Cai, he is confident that she would have a way to make Feng the embarrassed one. And that is why he is head over heels over her. He really doesn’t care if she could play the piano or if she is the daughter of a CEO, he will like her anyway. Feeling shy, Shan Cai asks him to send her home but Ah Si refuses. He wants to have a good heart-to-heart talk with her. 

Meanwhile, the other F3 (Mei Zuo, Lei and Xi Men) are having a good drink at the pub. They wonder what Shan Cai and Ah Si are doing now and have a good laugh over what has happened. Lei decides that, having stopped Feng from leaving just now, he had better not go to Ah Si’s mansion too often. Mei Zuo and Xi Men also think that they should avoid the mansion while Feng is in Taiwan. Mei Zuo recalls going to Ah Si’s mansion for the first time when they were young. She had apparently warned Ah Si not to be too close to the F3. If Feng could insult them, who is among the nation’s top ten most wealthy people, she would definitely look down upon Shan Cai, who is a nobody. Lei expresses his surprise that Ah Si went against Feng because of Shan Cai and is confident that Feng will not make life easy for Ah Si and Shan Cai.  

***** 

Under the bridge, Ah Si asks Shan Cai if she has heard of Maple Hotel. Shan Cai knows that Maple Hotel has a chain of hotels all over the world. He reveals that Feng owns Maple Hotel. Thus, both his parents are extremely busy people. Although they are one family, they hardly ever stayed under the same roof and Ah Si does not feel close to them at all. He tells Shan Cai not to bother about what Feng has said and intends to decide by him self, his own path in life. 

In the meantime, back at the mansion, Feng has ordered her personal assistant to collect all information on Shan Cai. He reports that Shan Cai’s father changes jobs often and her mother is taking on a temporary job. The family lives in a small old flat. He also mentions that despite all these, Ah Si is deeply in love with Shan Cai. Feng is upset when she hears this. Apparently, she already has a plan for Ah Si’s future. She had not intended to start on the plan so early. However, seeing the current situation, she decides that it is crucial to embark on the plan now and get rid of Shan Cai. She orders her assistant to postpone her flight back to New York. 

***** 

Under the bridge, Shan Cai asks Ah Si why he thinks that she likes him. Ah Si says its based on his intuitive feelings. However, she reveals that she is unsure of how she feels about him. She is curious why, when there are so many beautiful and wealthy girls in school, he had chosen to like her (someone who is poor and has almost nothing). Ah Si replies that he does not know why either.  

Ah Si’s stomach growls loudly, and Shan Cai recalls the cookies that she had baked and almost takes it out. Then she remembers that she does not want Ah Si to see her cheap present and wants to hide it again. Ah Si snatches the package from her. She tells him it is actually his birthday present but she had been too embarrassed to give it to him when she saw all the expensive presents (e.g. Cars) he had received. She is sorry that she can only afford to give him cookies. However, Ah Si keeps staring at the cookies and keeps quiet. Thinking that he hates it, Shan Cai wants to take it back but Ah Si stops her. He tells her that he is very happy to receive the cookies from her. He keeps smiling when he looks at the cookies. Shan Cai is surprised to see that he is so happy to see the cookies, which she thought, looked quite horrible. When she tells Ah Si that she is also hungry and reaches over to take a cookie, he stops her. He asks her to bear with her hunger a while longer as he does want the cookies, that she baked, to be eaten up.  

***** 

The next morning, Ah Si turns up at Lei’s place. Lei is still sleeping but Ah Si attempts to wake him up. He tells Lei that he cannot go home now after that argument with his mother. He can only wait till she has returned New York before going home. Ah Si excitedly shows Lei the cookies that Shan Cai baked. Grinning like a child, he tells Lei that if someone else had baked it, he would have felt that it was a disgusting move. However, it was Shan Cai who baked it so he really loved it. The sleepy Lei grabs a cookie and takes a bite. Shocked, Ah Si tries to make Lei spit it out. 

Meanwhile, Feng pays Shan Cai a visit. Shan Cai is stunned to see her. Feng goes straight to the point. She tells Shan Cai to leave Ah Si and shows Shan Cai and her mother a briefcase of cash. Feng is aware that such a large sum of money would definitely be able to give them a better life, considering the small old unit that they are living in. As Ah Si’s mother, she feels that she has a duty to make sure that Ah Si does not sway from the path that he is fated to walk. Thus, she has to get rid of every obstacle in his path. Shan Cai is disgusted by her move. Shan Cai’s mother laughs. She proceeds to get a bottle of flour (or is it sugar?) and pours it over Feng. She tells Feng that they do not want the family and will not let her daughter be insulted in such a way. Feng leaves. 

Shan Cai tells her mother that she is proud of the way she (her mother) acted. However, her mother tells her that she will not be satisfied with just that small briefcase of money. She is sure that Feng will die before Ah Si does. Thus, she is only interested in all the property of Dao Ming family. She tells Shan Cai that she must definitely marry into the Dao Ming family. Shan Cai is disgusted. 

The F4 are having lunch. Ah Si is still happily showing them the cookies that Shan Cai baked. The F3 can only shake their head in disgust. Xi Men asks about the night Ah Si spent with Shan Cai and is disgusted to find that Ah Si is STILL a virgin. They warn him about Feng and Lei tells him that he must protect Shan Cai. 

At the cake shop, Shan Cai tells Xiao You about the money that Feng brought. She told Xiao You that they had rejected the money. Xiao You asks if this mean she and Ah Si will get together. However, Shan Cai does not think so. Feng’s assistant enters the shop and tells Shan Cai that Feng would like to see her.  

At the same time, Feng’s bodyguards also force Ah Si to leave with them.

Shan Cai is brought to a function room in a classy hotel. Feng and Ah Si are there. Shortly after her, an angry girl (acted by He Huan Ru) enters the room unwillingly (pushed by a bodyguard). Feng reveals that this girl, He Yuan Zi (Xiao Zi) is Ah Si’s future fiancée. Next, Xiao Zi’s parents enter. Xiao Zi tells them she does not want to get married. Neither does Ah Si. Xiao Zi’s parents apologize for Xiao Zi’s insolence. Xiao Zi’s parents and Feng tells them that it would be good for them to develop their relationship over the next two years and prepare to get married when they graduate. Meanwhile, Shan Cai stands there uncomfortably. Suddenly, Ah Si struggles free from the bodyguards and runs to the two girls. He grabs Xiao Zi and runs out of the room, leaving Shan Cai alone.  

After running for a while, Ah Si turns around to Xiao Zi and is shocked to see her. Apparently, he had intended to grab Shan Cai but in the rush and commotion, had grabbed the wrong girl. He decides to turn back and leaves Xiao Zi. She jumps on his back and bites his ear. Ah Si shakes her off and she falls. An angry Ah Si storms off. 

Back at the cake shop, Shan Cai is furious with Ah Si. She thought that Ah Si and Xiao Zi had known each other all the time since Ah Si grabbed Xiao Zi. She thinks that the two of them are staging an act. However, Xiao You feels that Shan Cai is really feeling angry and upset at the same time. When Ah Si calls, Shan Cai refuses to answer the phone. 

The next day in school, Shan Cai confronts Ah Si. She congratulates Ah Si since he is getting married soon but she does so angrily. Ah Si tries to explain that he had grabbed the wrong girl the day before. However, Shan Cai does not see how that is possible since she and Xiao Zi had such difference hair and clothing. The two of them starts arguing loudly. She scolds him for treating him as a pre-marriage fling and tells him she will not be manipulated in such a way. When Ah Si tries again to explain things, Shan Cai kicks him and storms off.

Mei Zuo and Xi Men are shocked. Ah Si tells them who the girl is. They are impressed that Feng actually stooped to such a level. However, Ah Si says he will never marry her and calls her a wild monkey. 

Outside the school, Shan Cai still cannot believe that Ah Si had grabbed the wrong girl. She runs into Xiao Zi who had come to look at the school which Ah Si studies in. When she calls Ah Si an ‘abnormal birth’, Shan Cai is surprised. Xiao Zi explains that the night before, Ah Si had left her alone with no money and no shoes. She complains that she had to spend more than an hour walking home and swears that she will give him a big scolding when she sees him. Shan Cai is shocked as she thought they were a dating couple. However, Xiao Zi tells her that that was the first time they are meeting. When Shan Cai asks why they left together then, Xiao Zi thinks that its probably because Ah Si had fallen in love with her at first sight.  

Ah Si appears with Mei Zuo and Xi Men and yells at Xiao Zi, calling her a monkey. Xiao Zi scolds him for leaving her alone the night before but Ah Si does not appear remorseful. He tells her that the marriage is definitely off. However, Xiao Zi insists that she has her eyes set on him. Thus, since they are going to get married eventually, they might as well start dating now. Ah Si is worked up. To prevent him from punching Xiao Zi, Mei Zuo and Xi Men holds him back and asks Shan Cai to take Xiao Zi away. 

Shan Cai takes her away. Xiao Zi then insists on taking Shan Cai shopping. 

While shopping, Xiao Zi tells Shan Cai that she wants to attract Ah Si’s attention. Thus, she needs Shan Cai to advise her on how she should dress. When she asks Shan Cai what kind of dressing Ah Si likes, Shan Cai tells her that Ah Si only loves himself and would not notice what girls wear. Xiao Zi thinks that that is very interesting and is determined to win his heart. She had thought that her parents would introduce a pathetic rich boy to her. However, she feels that Ah Si is different from what she expected. Shan Cai tells her she does not care what Xiao Zi wants to do. Xiao Zi apologizes for pouring her woes to Shan Cai, but tells her that it is because she is an only child and thus does not have many friends. Shan Cai reveals that she does not have many friends either. Xiao Zi is happy and asks Shan Cai to help her. From then on, she will tell her her problems with Ah Si and Shan Cai could help her. Shan Cai feels uneasy and lets Xiao Zi know that Ah Si told her before that he likes her (Shan Cai). But she also tells Xiao Zi that she does not like Ah Si. Xiao Zi thinks that Shan Cai could say good things about her in front of Ah Si so that he will have a better impression of her. 

After shopping, Xiao Zi tells Shan Cai that at home, she has to learn many skills since she is wealthy. School is very boring but she feels happier now that she has fallen in love with someone. She thinks that if she is able to win Ah Si’s heart, she will definitely feel a huge sense of accomplishment. She asks if Shan Cai likes anyone. Shan Cai reveals that she used to like someone (Lei). When she is with him, she would feel silly and not know what to say. However, Xiao Zi feels that when you are with the person you love, you should feel comfortable and relax. She hopes that Shan Cai would find a better person to love. She gives Shan Cai a set of clothes (which she saw Shan Cai staring at while they were shopping) as a thank-you gift for shopping with her. She tells Shan Cai that she is sincere about being friends with her. Xiao Zi leaves. 

Shan Cai meets Ah Si on her way home. Ah Si asks to talk to her for a while. He explains to her the whole situation that night and promises that he will not ever see her again. He wants to decide on his own path in life and will not let his mother get in the way. Shan Cai does not appear happy. She reveals to Ah Si that she had spent the whole day with Xiao Zi. Initially, she had thought that Xiao Zi was just a spoilt brat. However, after spending the day with her, she found Xiao Zi to be a very nice and considerate person. Also, Xiao Zi is tall, pretty and slim. Ah Si thinks that Shan Cai accepted Xiao Zi’s gift as a bribe to say good things about her in front him. However, Shan Cai insists that it is not about the gift. After all, he and Xiao Zi are compatible in all areas, including status and wealth, and most importantly, Feng likes Xiao Zi. Shan Cai tells Ah Si to date Xiao Zi and not disappoint Xiao Zi. Angry, disappointed and hurt, Ah Si slaps her and leaves.

Shan Cai watches Ah Si leave and feels sad. She feels sorry for always forcing Ah Si to slap her and making the situation messier than it already is. 

Meanwhile back at the mansion, Xi Men decides that they must do something about the whole situation. Xi Men and Mei Zuo feel that they must try to attract Xiao Zi’s attention onto themselves so as to help Ah Si. However, Lei does not think that they should do that, as this is the Dao Ming family affair. If they were to get involved in it, things will get overly complicated. Mei Zuo’s idea is to get things as complicated as possible to throw everyone off. At this moment, Ah Si returns, all drenched from the rain. He does not tell them anything when they probe.  

In his own room, he regrets hitting Shan Cai. Perhaps things have really reached the limit. 

***** 

The next day, Mei Zuo and Xi Men take Xiao Zi out. She makes them carry all her shopping; She also embarrasses them by bringing them to buy lingerie and sanitary napkins with her. They are about to watch a movie and Xiao Zi decides on one. However, after Xi Men buys the tickets, Xiao Zi decides that they should watch another movie. Xi Men then goes to buy the tickets for another movie. She also makes Mei Zuo buy an ice cream. Mei Zuo bought chocolate ice cream and she claims that she only eats strawberry ice cream. He has no choice but to give it away. Xiao Zi is impressed that they really know how to treat a girl well. She asks if its very boring going out with her. In a bid to please her, Mei Zuo and Xi Men say its not. Xiao Zi then tells them she does not want to watch a movie anymore but wants to see Shan Cai instead. The two guys have no choice but to go along with her. 

At the cake shop, Xiao Zi reveals that she knows the two guys are trying to make her stop chasing Ah Si. She will still choose Ah Si over them as she finds them too much of a sweet-talker and thus uninteresting. The two guys are disgusted that she had played with their feelings intentionally. Xiao Zi leaves the cake shop. Shan Cai asks them why they did it. However, Xi Men felt that there wasn’t a need to explain, as she should know the reason behind what they did. They leave all the things that they bought to Xiao You and leave the cake shop. 

At the mansion, Feng meets up with Lei. She acts as if it is just an innocent get-together with Lei and invites him for drink. She tells Lei that she met up with Jing at Paris just before returning to Taiwan. Jing had told Feng that she might not go back to Taiwan forever. Knowing that Jing is a very decisive girl, she may really not return at all. Lei does not know what Feng is getting at. Feng tells Lei that she is aware of Shan Cai’s feelings for Lei. Lei denies this and conveys to her Shan Cai’s feelings for Ah Si. However, Feng reminds Lei that when Ah Si was young, he always snatched Lei’s toys. And when Ah Si gets the toys, he would throw them aside. Lei jumps to his defense and insists that that was because Ah Si was young. Feng compares Shan Cai to the toy and tells Lei that Ah Si will get tired of Shan Cai and throw her aside as soon as he gets her. But Lei does not think that it will happen. Realizing that she must change her strategy, Feng changes the topic to Lei’s father. Apparently, Lei’s family business had run into some trouble. Lei expresses that he does not know much about it. She tells Lei that she is able to help his family as long as he is willing to start a relationship with Shan Cai.
