Paging Mrs Danvers!
Click to viewApparently this is what goes on in the scene:
(stolen from AF)
After Xia Mo reveals the misunderstanding where she thought Ou Chen was the mastermind, turns out it was the butler that did it. Ou Chen also found out that he was the one that gave Shu Er false hope that she will get the CM so the more disappointed she is the more she will retaliate against Xia Mo hence the kidnapping, he suggested the press conference to An Hui Ni to ruin Xia Mo's reputation, and he was the one that allowed the media to continue reporting Xia Mo's background. The butler then admit that he doesn't like the kind of influence Xia Mo has over Ou Chen.
Ou Chen then asked him why he set him up as well. During the time he was unconscious after the car accident, his "parents" were fighting with the Ou family over money so he assumed it was because they wanted to leave him while he was in his coma. The "father" is a gambler and the "mother" has another lover, he felt that his family had already fallen apart and his "parents" don't love him at all. He told butler Shen to stop setting up all the pretenses, reminding the "parents" to send birthday gifts and write letters.
Ou Chen: "You don't have to do all this for me in the future. Kinship that requires begging for would only make me feel even more pathetic."
Butler Shen then reveals the truth that it's not because of Ou Chen that his "parents" don't love him, it's because they were hired by his grandfather to pretend to be his parents. His birth mother fell in love with a frivolous man and gave birth to Ou Chen, but she committed suicide. His grandfather and the butler wanted to give him a normal childhood, so they came up with the idea of hiring 2 people to act as his parents until he was 18.
He then shows Ou Chen a picture of his real mother, who also wore a green lace. The butler guessed that he had the idea of making that green lace for Xia Mo out of his subconscious memory of his birth mother.
Ou Chen: "This must be the most ridiculous thing on earth. Everyone of you lied to me just to give me that so-called normal happy life."
Shen: "We just didn't want you to grow up all alone."
Ou Chen: "Since I was young, I knew something wasn't right. I have everything and yet I still feel so empty. My entire life is nothing but a proposal you've written. There's no such thing as Mr. and Mrs. Ou, there isn't even a family!"
Dangermousie here: what were they going to do on his 18th bday? Tell him "surprise, these parents are fake, now cut the birthday cake, kid!" or what?
I think it's official, Ou Chen has his own male version of Mrs Danvers and honestly, if I were Xiamo, that would be my REAL sticking point to ever hooking up with him - I even look at OC crooked and I'd wake up with butler sawing my head off.
Also, I've gorged myself on spoiler clips and it's official. I can deal with OC/Xiamo outcome but nothing is going to shift me from being a Luo Xi/Xiamo shipper. Unless they let Luo Xi get together with Shen Qiang. Sorry, Huang Xiaoming fangirl here above all.
