[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 8
- Is it nice? - You like it?
Then just buy it. It's not that expensive.
Not expensive?
It's 13,000 yuan.
Honey, come here quickly...
What's wrong?
Look who's here.
Don't you recognize her?
Shi Jiang?
From now on
the world has nothing to do with me.
I'm going to become the wife of a happy man.
Cook for him, have children with him
buy a house facing the ocean, and...
watch the flowers bloom in spring.
- How did you know? - I wrote it.
You're so disgusting.
What are you staring at?
You owe me a kiss.
You know what?
Now I really think the term 'bachelor' has quite a special meaning.
But, you can never be a bachelor again after you get divorced.
Each time you get divorced, you get some things stripped from you.
Not just money
but most importantly, it's money.
Cheers.
People tend to lose in gambling when things are going well in their relationships.
But things are going badly in both my relationships and gambling.
What's wrong?
Somehow I feel like my marriage is very similar to yours.
No way.
How can your relationship be the same as ours?
Between the two of us now...
I feel like there's this gap, you know what I mean?
- It's not that bad, right? - It is.
You know I like to cook, right?
I like going to the market because the food's fresh and cheap.
But Tang Mei Yu doesn't like it because she says it's dirty.
She likes going to the supermarket.
Those high-end supermarkets.
Things are much more expensive there.
We might as well go to a restaurant.
It's normal for a young, pretty girl to want to enjoy life.
- Just earn more money. - Brother, I'm doing my best.
How am I supposed to earn a lot of money when I'm just working class?
But she never complained, right?
Mei Yu has never said anything about it.
I still remember that when you got married
she didn't tell her parents about it.
Right?
What are her parents like? I've never met them.
Have you ever seen a gun?
- What do your parents do? - Factory workers.
- How many people in your family? - Three.
- So what do you do? - How much do you earn?
What makes you think you can marry Mei Yu when you don't have a house or a car?
Take it easy.
As parents, they've spent so long raising their daughter
it's normal that they'd nag you a bit when they pass her on to you.
Don't get too uptight about it.
The reason I asked you to come out was to chat and have a drink.
Stop nagging me, okay?
Recently, I'm just a bit...
Short on money?
I'm even worse than you.
If you mention money again, then we can stop being friends.
Look at you...
Did I ever mention anything about money?
- Not money? - No, so don't worry.
I just feel that I'm not as happy as I used to be.
Listen.
It's probably because your wife's pregnant.
After she has the baby, you'll be fine again.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, look at my dad.
He became a monk.
So tell me what your life's like now that you're divorced.
I'm as happy as can be.
- What time did you go to bed? - I don't know.
You shouldn't stay up all night.
I'm going to work.
Don't try to run away from me.
When will you find yourself a husband?
Do you have a plan at all?
How about a blind date?
Mom, I can't exactly hand out marriage ads on the street, can I?
Don't you know anyone at all?
A man who's single and available?
But what am I supposed to say?
Hi, I'm Luo Li.
Can I please be your wife?
You're so annoying.
If a girl falls in love with a guy in a movie
what does she do?
What?
She drops a fan or handkerchief
so that he can pick it up.
Then he has to return it to her.
- It always works. - Keep dropping things?
I'm great at that.
What do you mean keep dropping things?
It's giving men a chance.
You must give them an excuse.
I'm talking to you.
Go on.
If you meet someone that you like then you can compliment your mom.
You can tell him how good my cooking is
especially my braised prawns.
If he's also interested in you
then he'll definitely say, 'Really?'
Then you can say
'Yeah, would you like to come to our place for dinner?'
It's all about the right timing.
- Mom, what kind of a trick is that? - My best trick.
Okay, don't forget to call Dad later.
Otherwise he might go to Auntie Qin's for dinner again.
I wonder what tricks Auntie Qin's got.
- Who beat you up? - I cut myself while shaving.
- Do you have a Band-Aid? - Yeah.
Sorry, Chi, we don't have any Band-Aids.
We don't have anything at all.
- Hang on. - What are you doing?
Come on, Mom, he just wants a Band-Aid.
Don't waste time on people who're not going to work out.
If you give this to him
then you'll give him an excuse to return your favor.
He might treat you to dinner.
That's the trick that I was telling you about.
Mom, you give it to him.
You don't believe me?
Fine.
Just you wait.
- Here you go. - Thank you, Auntie.
Make sure you stay away from him.
If you don't, other men won't come near you.
You'll ruin it for yourself.
What did I tell you?
- What is it? - Can you give me a man's Band-Aid?
I didn't know Band-Aid came in different genders.
I mean can you at least give me one that's less embarrassing?
What? Are you saying we're embarrassing?
Are you crazy?
How can you still laugh?
Li Li, I get it.
I know why you're having so many problems with your relationships.
It's because of your bad judgment.
You should stay away from divorced men like him, you hear me?
Don't worry, how can I be stupid when my mom's so smart?
I'm going.
Remember what I said.
Attorney Chi.
Do you usually read so early in the morning?
What are you reading? Show me.
So who kicked you in the face?
Your mom did.
Well done.
- Your mom's such an ungrateful person. - Don't say that about her.
I've got a man's one here, take it.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
- A new car? - Obviously.
Shall we go together?
What's so good about that?
It's just a car.
Chief Wu, Attorney Luo's here.
She's waiting for you in the conference room.
What's up?
You left this at my place last night.
I've already parked it back in your parking lot.
Here's the diamond ring that you gave me for my birthday.
My mom was there last night, so I couldn't give it back to you.
You can have both of them back now.
Li Li.
Why are you being so stubborn?
Have you forgotten that I've always been a stubborn person?
Don't be like this.
Be more rational, okay?
Rational?
Since you gave me clients and helped me with my case
I should be rational and consider myself lucky?
So what else do you want me to do for you?
Nothing.
Thank you.
Li Li, I know you're still mad at me.
Can you let me explain?
It's true that I have a family.
But we shouldn't let that come between us.
I didn't lie to you.
I only got married in Las Vegas when I got drunk one night.
We didn't even register our marriage in China.
So I don't know if we're considered married in China or not.
I beg you.
Considering the many years that we've spent together
please let me go.
Don't come to see me again.
Okay?
Master Chi.
I came across this letter on the internet...
- What happened to your face? - I cut it while shaving.
Have a look.
It's written by Xia Fang Cao.
It's called 'Ex-husband returns after divorcing me ten years ago.'
A few million people have read it and are very supportive of her.
What's it about?
In short, she said after Zheng Tian Ya had an affair ten years ago
he forced Xia Fang Cao to sign a divorce settlement.
After that, she got very depressed and tried to commit suicide.
That's when a meter reading guy came to her rescue.
His name was Gu Wei
and when he called Zheng Tian Ya
he said that since they're divorced, he's not obliged to look after her.
So Gu Wei began to take care of her
and helped her regain confidence and direction in life.
Over the past ten years, they grew a small hotpot stall into a franchise chain.
But then Zheng Tian Ya suddenly came back and asked her for money.
When she refused to give him money
he told her they're still not legally divorced.
If they get divorced now, then he gets half of her wealth.
So she wants sympathy.
You won't believe how many people are supportive of her.
But they're not the judge.
But if the media spreads it around
and turns it into a public debate...
Hello, Judge Ma.
[Ex-husband comes home after ten years.]
I can't believe...
what a great writer Attorney Luo is.
It truly speaks my heart.
No matter how this case turns out
I've accepted her professionalism.
Fang Cao.
I think you should give Attorney Luo a call
and thank her.
No matter what
she's obviously expended a lot of effort for you.
When Luo Li first called me
and asked if she could write our story and put it on the internet
I agreed, but I never thought so many people would support us.
If you feel awkward about it, then I can go to her some time
and thank her for you, okay?
Look at the story that she's written.
No matter what the verdict is
everyone who's read this story
will sympathize with you and support you.
I don't care who supports me
or sympathizes with me.
To me, that's not important at all.
What matters the most to me
is that my daughter actually called me
and said she understands how I feel.
Really?
So what does Xiao Xiao think about me?
She said...
as long as the two of us are happy together...
then she'd give us her blessing.
That's great.
New evidence?
But we can say it's already after the deadline for evidence submission.
Also, the hearing's already over.
What does the regulation for new evidence submission say?
Should either party wish to submit new evidence
after the hearing has concluded
and should the judge find such evidence to be relevant to the case
then such evidence may be accepted for submission.
We better start preparing now.
But I wonder how Luo Li got her hands on that written guarantee.
Hello, Mei Yu.
Can I ask you something?
What symptoms did you have when you got pregnant?
Nothing, it's just...
I've just been feeling a bit weird lately.
Mom.
Mom?
God bless me.
Mamma mia...
Mom, you scared me.
Why didn't you answer me when I called you?
I thought you'd gone to the market.
Give me my heart pill.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
You can't just take your pills if you're sick.
- I'll call an ambulance for you. - No, it's okay.
You might as well call the police.
The police?
Is there a burglar?
Yes, there is.
Mom, don't scare me.
Your dad...
He went to someone else's place for dinner again.
I thought so.
I knew Dad must have gone to have dinner with someone.
It's Auntie Qin, isn't it?
If he had gone to someone else's place for dinner
do you think I'd be so mad?
Mom, don't be mad.
Dad doesn't have any hobbies
except eating.
Confucius said food is as important as sex.
As for sex, he quit that when he married you.
So all he's got left is food now.
But did he have to go to her place?
Confucius also said we shouldn't beg for other people's food.
So why is he begging for her food?
Mom, he didn't actually beg her.
What's the matter with you?
How can you bully me as well?
No, what Confucius meant
is we shouldn't beg, but Auntie Qin invited Dad over.
Couldn't he say no?
So did you tell him when you talked to him on the phone yesterday?
Did you tell him not to go to that old bag's place for dinner?
I did. I was very serious when I told him.
I also asked him.
He said when he said no after she invited him over
she said, 'If you don't come, then I'll bring you some food.'
But that means Dad will have to go and return her plates
so he still has to go over to her place.
He didn't want to do that so he thought he might as well just eat at her place.
I'm only gone for a few days and she's already trying to get into our home.
All right, I'll book your train ticket later.
You can go back tomorrow.
Come to think of it now
I know your dad's not that kind of a person.
Li Li, I'm talking to you.
I'm just really mad.
Li Li.
Auntie, I'd like to see Luo Li.
- What is it? - It's about work.
- It's after office hours. - Mom, what are you doing?
- What's up? - Let's talk in private.
There are only three people here.
Are you two trying to hide something from me?
Auntie, we're working on a private divorce case.
As lawyers
we must stick to our professional ethics, right?
He's right.
- I'll go over to your place. - Okay.
Mom, don't cook. Let's go out for dinner.
But I'm about to cook dinner.
Don't go anywhere. Come back soon.
Come on in.
Take a seat inside.
Your mom seems a bit weird lately.
Did I do anything that might have upset her?
I warned you.
Although my mom can be a passionate person
she can also be quite moody.
Moody? I think she's just ungrateful.
Considering I picked her up from the train station
how can she suddenly become so mean to me?
Has she suffered from split personalities before?
Let's not talk about your mom. Sit down.
Be more professional.
The court's already notified us
that you've presented some new evidence.
Can you tell me how you managed to obtain Zheng Tian Ya's written guarantee?
Shouldn't we be examining the evidence in front of the judge?
Why examine it when it's already past the deadline?
We've already examined all the evidence.
What makes you think we will have to re-examine it?
I forgot to remind you
that the court has approved an extension on our submission deadline.
Should the new evidence be considered relevant to our case
then it'll be approved and accepted.
But the judge still hasn't approved your new evidence yet.
You should know
that even if the judge still hasn't approved the new evidence yet
he can still request that the opposing party examine the evidence first.
If you don't agree, then once our new evidence gets approved
then you will have lost your right to examine it.
Or have you already decided to give up your right?
Why go to all this trouble?
Let's compromise.
Then I must talk to my client first.
Try to convince her.
I wanted to tell you that dinner's ready.
I'll close it myself, Auntie.
[Pregnancy Test]
Mom.
Please don't ever do that again.
It's so embarrassing.
I was just concerned about you.
Li Li, listen.
You shouldn't go over to his place and talk with just the two of you.
What if people gossip about you?
It's okay for him since he's divorced. But it's different for you.
If word gets out, then who would want to marry you in the future?
Only those...
I'm talking to you. Where are you going?
I'm going to the toilet.
Again?
Is there something wrong with your kidneys?
I got interrupted by you two.
I didn't interrupt you.
It was Chi Hai Dong.
Why does he like coming over so much?
He must be interested in you.
Let me tell you.
Stay away from those men who're not going to work out, get it?
You're not interested in him, are you?
No, I hate him to death.
I bet it's him again.
Can you get the door for me?
You want to see Luo Li again?
Auntie, she left something at my place.
What's that?
- Can I give it to her myself? - No, just give it to me.
Chi.
Let me tell you something.
From now on, if you want to talk to Luo Li or give her anything you must go through me
instead of going directly to her, okay?
Sure, Auntie.
Li Li!
Come out and look at this!
What?
- What's wrong? - What's this?
What is it?
Chi Hai Dong said you left this at his place.
How's that possible?
He's lying.
Goodness knows which woman left it at his place.
Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?
Of course not.
Mom, how can you just believe anyone?
Absolutely ridiculous.
I'm ridiculous?
Chi Hai Dong...
unbelievable.
What a despicable person.
How could he do something like that?
Coming.
Auntie, is something wrong?
Chi, I'd like to have a chat with you.
Please come in.
Okay, thank you.
- Have a seat, Auntie. - Okay.
- Come on, have a seat. - Okay.
- Auntie, have some water. - Thank you.
Am I interrupting you?
Not at all, Auntie.
You see, Li Li's already 28 years old.
But she still doesn't have a boyfriend yet.
So both her dad and I have become very anxious.
We just want her to get married and have children.
Maybe I've rushed things a little...
I mean, there are plenty of men who are interested in Li Li.
But some of the men that she likes, we don't like.
And she doesn't necessarily like the ones that we like either.
So things got a little messy.
But now it's all settled.
We've reached an agreement.
We'll take our time.
We'd rather spend more time to choose someone who's suitable.
If she just finds someone randomly
and gets married
and then gets divorced like...
like you did
then it'd worry us even more.
I agree.
Chi, I actually think
you're quite a reasonable person.
So, did you get what I was trying to say?
Yeah, what you said was right.
- You said Li Li left this here, right? - Yeah.
- What's inside? - I don't know.
Li Li's not a kid any more.
She's already 28 years old.
But I'd like to say something to you, Chi.
You and my daughter must not take your relationship any further.
Something like this will never happen.
I'll never agree to it.
Auntie.
Your daughter left this at my place.
This has nothing to do with me.
- It has nothing to do with you? - Absolutely not.
Chi Hai Dong, let me ask you.
- Have you ever been interested in Li Li? - No.
But Li Li told me you were her boyfriend.
She said I was her boyfriend?
Yes. Have you ever knocked on her door in the middle of the night?
Also, why did you come and pick me up from the train station?
Why did you try to please me?
Auntie, I'll be perfectly honest with you.
Let me make myself clear.
Luo Li left her phone in the cab.
You called her and wanted her to pick you up.
I answered your call. I called her, but she didn't pick up.
As her neighbor, I went to pick you up on her behalf.
So what did I do wrong, Auntie?
I'll tell you why you're mistaken about this.
She left it on my sofa just now.
Since I didn't want you to fuss over it
I put it into an envelope before I returned it to her.
Auntie, I have absolutely nothing to do with this.
Chi, I think there's something wrong with your morals.
- My morals? - It's okay to make mistakes.
But you must admit your mistakes.
What am I supposed to admit to if I've done nothing wrong?
You've done nothing wrong?
Auntie, ever since I moved here after my divorce I haven't touched another woman.
I can assure you that I've never even held your daughter's hand.
Auntie, this is your family affair so it has nothing to do with me.
You should have asked your daughter before you came here.
Check with your family first.
Chi Hai Dong, what do you mean?
Are you saying that my daughter sleeps around?
It's okay if you don't want to admit it. But don't insult my daughter.
I didn't mean to insult her.
All I'm saying is, I'm not responsible for this.
Somebody else is.
Remember what you said.
I'll go back and ask my daughter.
I'll find out the truth.
Once the truth is out
Chi Hai Dong, you must take responsibility for everything that you've said.
I'm willing to take full responsibility for every word that I've said today.
Good.
Her father still doesn't know about this.
Her father knows martial arts
and his temper is much worse than mine.
Her father knows martial arts?
You want to beat me up, Auntie?
What has this got to do with me?
What do you mean by that, Auntie?
Auntie, both Luo Li and I are lawyers.
We'd better solve it ourselves, or it'll have to be taken to court.
For all the years that I've known her dad
I've never really seen him solve anything in court.
Sometimes violence is the only solution
when it comes to dealing with creeps.
- Mom, what are you doing here? - Li Li, you've come just in time.
Tell me if there's anything going on between you and Chi Hai Dong.
Luo Li, you've come just in time.
Your mom insists on saying that I made you pregnant.
Tell her if there's anything between us.
Hang on, who did you say is pregnant again?
Why did you use a pregnancy test if you're not pregnant?
What pregnancy test? Wait, Mom.
- Don't try to accuse me. - You want to deny it?
No one else has been in this house today.
You left this pregnancy test here after you came to talk to me.
I was even kind enough to put it into an envelope before I returned it.
How am I supposed to get pregnant all by myself?
Then what about those women who come into your house?
I'm not the only one, think about it.
Luo Li, when did you ever see another woman in my house?
Chi Hai Dong, we're both lawyers, so it's all about evidence.
Did you ever see my buy a pregnancy test?
I'll sue you if you insist on accusing me.
- Yes, tell us. - Tell us.
- Let me think about it. - Have a good think about it.
- I remembered wrong. - See! I told you.
You've had too many women in here...
Chi Hai Dong, how can you have such a bad memory when you're so young?
Remember what you just said?
You said you'd take full responsibility.
Li Li, if I hadn't come here today
your reputation would have been totally ruined. Do you know that?
You owe my daughter an apology.
Just apologize.
Mom, I think we should just let it go.
No, he must apologize.
Just say sorry.
- Apologize. - Sorry.
- He said it. - No, what kind of an attitude is that?
Did you really mean you're sorry at all?
I'm sorry.
He was very sincere that time.
Chi, that's the right attitude.
I might be old, but I'm not that old-fashioned.
Take this.
It's your life, so I won't interfere in it.
Let's go.
Master Chi.
Xiao Luo, if you ever need my help in the future you should let me know in advance.
With my bad temper and your mom's stubbornness
it's very likely that things could get ugly.
We were all young once.
Here, take it back.
You should be more careful.
Early pregnancy test?
Is it yours?
Then you better keep it.
What do you mean?
Not only did you not thank me for doing you a favor
but you're actually framing me?
Master Chi, what do you mean?
Doesn't this belong to one of your girlfriends?
Make sure you take responsibility for it.
That written guarantee.
You might as well go on a TV show.
You've given them the perfect proof for your affair and illegitimate child.
Wu Yi kept crying. I didn't have a choice.
Then why didn't you talk to me first?
I didn't think it'd have anything to do with my divorce.
They're two separate issues, right?
Luo Li's such a despicable and tricky person.
She set me up.
She's just being professional and you're just plain stupid.
Why don't we give the judge some money and try to bribe him?
You'll be charged with bribery.
So there's nothing we can do?
Now, the best solution is to try and reach a settlement.
Settlement?
