Zhihao left, and the heroine found that she was unconsciously in love with Zhihao, and the love was unconsciously in place, but it was shattered by people who did not understand love. But even if everyone doesn't understand Ah Wen, she still has to continue, because her original intention of raising money was to prevent her son from going to court and leaving the case behind.

The heroine chased after the card that had been chased away by the wind, and when she finally caught the card, she found that there were no words on it that she was familiar with. Money finally ruined the love of two people.
