00:00Every time the man returns home after having an affair with his first love,

00:02he would bring gifts and cake home to apologize to his wife.

00:05But this time, no matter how he called out, there was no response from his wife,

00:09looking at the empty room and the neatly laid out divorce papers on the table

00:12and the estrangement letter left by his daughter.

00:14In that moment, the man realized he was not only a terrible husband,

00:17but also an unfit father.

00:19Little did he know that he had only himself to blame for this outcome.

00:21It turned out the man was originally the CEO of the Lou Corporation,

00:25yet he had hidden his true identity from his wife.

00:27Out of understanding how hard he worked,

00:28his wife had taken cleaning jobs and collected trash every day to raise their daughter alone.

00:33Their daughter was also very obedient and sensible,

00:35always accompanying her mother to ease her burdens.

00:37One day, as they were collecting trash as usual, they encountered the man on the street.

00:41The girl ran toward him excitedly, only for a boy to dash past and joyfully call daddy.

00:45At that moment, the little girl froze,

00:47then the first love provocatively walked past the woman,

00:50and the three of them looked blissfully like a family, which deeply hurt the woman.

00:53She followed them and learned from a waiter's remarks

00:55that the little boy was the child the man had with his first love 10 years ago,

00:58and that the man was a billionaire CEO.

01:01Hearing this, the woman finally understood that the man had been deceiving her all these years,

01:05and she felt her years of frugality for the family had been a joke.

01:08When she returned home, she began packing her bags to leave.

01:11Their daughter realized that their joint birthday was in two days,

01:13and wanted to give her father one more chance.

01:15Not wanting to upset her daughter, the woman reluctantly agreed.

01:18Just then, the man came home,

01:20carrying leftover takeout for the woman and girl to warm up and eat.

01:22The woman, who would never have, minded before, today furiously confronted him.

01:26On my daughter, and I only fit to eat leftovers?

01:29After hearing this, the man accused the woman of not knowing how to be thrifty.

01:32Their daughter spotted a toy ball in her father's bag,

01:34thinking it was her birthday gift.

01:36But the man snatched it away and scolded her not to touch his things.

01:39This scene provoked the wife's anger,

01:41since he had never once celebrated or bought a gift for their daughter.

01:44Suddenly, the first love called.

01:45Without looking back, the man left immediately.

01:47Before he went, the girl called out,

01:49asking him to attend the school's spring outing tomorrow.

01:51He perfumctorily replied,

01:53got it, and left without turning back.

01:55The girl was overjoyed, thinking he had agreed.

01:57The next day, the woman and daughter arrived at the outing site together.

02:00The woman stepped aside to call her company and resign.

02:02Just as she left, the first love and his son approached the girl,

02:05scattering all her snacks on the ground,

02:07and demanded she leave because she had no father and didn't deserve such a spot.

02:10The commotion drew nearby classmates,

02:12who mocked the girl for being fatherless,

02:14since none of them had ever seen her father pick her up since the term began.

02:17The girl tried to explain, but no one believed her.

02:19Then the man walked over.

02:20The girl, seizing this as her only hope, ran to him happily,

02:24only for him to push her aside and walk straight to his first love and their son,

02:27to avoid misunderstanding.

02:28He reminded his daughter she must call him uncle today,

02:31because he was there as the little boy's father.

02:33Though heartbroken, she complied and called out uncle in front of everyone.

02:36As she turned to find her mother,

02:38the little boy suddenly blocked her,

02:39and in the scuffle her backpack spilled open,

02:41revealing a wad of cash.

02:43The boy accused her of stealing the class fund,

02:44because everyone knew she collected trash and couldn't have so much money.

02:47Seeing this, the man demanded his daughter apologize to everyone.

02:51She explained the money came from recycling bottles she'd collected for a month,

02:54to buy her father a birthday gift, but no one believed her.

02:57Defeated, she tearfully apologized.

02:59Unbeknownst to him, she had just used up her daughter's last chance.

03:02At that moment, the woman ran over and explained to everyone

03:04that the money was indeed from her daughter's bottle returns.

03:07The little boy angrily threw the money back at the girl,

03:09but she no longer needed it.

03:10She took her mother's hand, and they left together.

03:13Late that night, the man returned home with a gift.

03:15Ready to apologize to the girl,

03:16but no matter how he called,

03:18there was no sign of his wife or daughter

03:19only when he saw the divorce papers

03:21and the letters severing ties from his daughter

03:23did he regret deceiving them.
