The Hongs have a pair of biological children, Jinzhi (Ya Hui) and Shunshui (Xu Bin), and a pair of adopted children, Shunfeng (Dennis Chew) and Yuye (Somaline Ang).

Episodes 1-218
No. in series | No. in season | Title | Original Airdate |
---|---|---|---|
256 | 1 | "Episode 1" | November 29, 2016 PG |
The coffeeshop, 118, has been closed for half a year for upgrading. Daming (Chew Chor Meng) tells the neighbours the newly-renovated coffeeshop will soon be open again for business, and promises to give them each a 50 percent discount. Meimei (Pan Lingling) corrects him promptly, saying their sons, Shunfeng (Dennis Chew) and Shunshui (Xu Bin), will be the new bosses and that they will decide if any discounts are to be given. Daming flies into a rage when he sees a worker trying to remove the 118 signboard. Shunshui explains that he is going to revamp the coffeeshop’s image and change the signboard to Yeo Yeo Huat. Shunfeng and Meizhen’s (Sora Ma) wedding day is approaching. They decide to have their wedding photos taken at the new 118. The photographer does not turn up. Shunshui suddenly remembers his property agent friend, Liu Jizhou (Bryan Wong), who happens to pop by, is a photography enthusiast. He asks Jizhou to be the photographer. However, Meizhen does not turn up. | |||
257 | 2 | "Episode 2" | November 30, 2016 PG |
Meizhen calls Shunshui. Judging by Shunshui’s response, Yuye (Somaline Ang) assumes mistakenly that Meizhen is backing out of the wedding. It turns out that Meizhen’s uncle wants to be the owner of the house that Uncle Chen had left her and has filed an injunction. She and Shunfeng no longer have a place to move into. Daming suggests they stay with the Hongs for the time being. Yuye objects. She is certain Meizhen and Meimei will face mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues. Li Jinlong (Ha Yu), who has been living in Hong Kong, comes to Tiong Bahru market with his daughter, Manman (Jeanette Aw). Zhang Meiyou (Li Feihui) recognises him. He shares that he is looking for Jiejie (Liu Lingling), Meimei and Daming. | |||
258 | 3 | "Episode 3" | December 1, 2016 PG |
Meiyou tries to slip away but Jinlong sees him and calls out to him. He trembles with fear. Manman hits Jizhou for photographing a sexy woman. Later, she realises he was actually taking pictures of birds. He chides her for hitting him without being clear about his true intentions. Meizhen asks Shunfeng if they can live with the Hongs after the wedding. He assures her that Daming has made the same suggestion. Meimei expresses her fear that Shunfeng may have to bear Meizhen’s debts if she loses the lawsuit with her uncle. Daming asserts that a couple should go through thick and thin together. Meiyou hurries over to 118 to tell Daming about Jinlong’s arrival. Little does he expect to find that Jinlong is already at 118. | |||
259 | 4 | "Episode 4" | December 2, 2016 PG |
Daming and Meimei are surprised to hear about Jinlong’s sudden appearance. Meiyou is sure Jinlong must be seeking them out to get revenge for something they did to him in the past. Meimei calls Shunshui to warn him about Jinlong. As a consequence, Shunshui interacts with Jinlong and Manman warily. When Jinlong asks about the 118 coffeeshop, Shunshui lies that it was wound up two years ago and sold. At this moment, Jiejie and Tiancheng (Chen Tianwen) show up at 118. Tiancheng notices Manman and jumps to the conclusion that Shunshui is having an affair behind Ke’ai’s (Carrie Wong) back. He insults Manman, and Jinlong is infuriated. | |||
