[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 23
I believe both Miss Luo Mei Yuan and Mr. Dong Da Hai
are very familiar with the mansion in this photo, right?
I think something must be wrong.
You're the only ones who knew about the mansion.
How did Luo Li find out?
Find that woman, and talk to her.
You better take this back.
I really can't accept your offer.
Dong, this is just a civil dispute so it's only about money.
But if you try to bribe the other party's lawyer
then you'll definitely be charged with a criminal offense.
Mr. Dong, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
Just ask a few friends who are reliable and give them some IOUs.
Then tell them to go to Miss Miao and ask her to pay them back.
Since you have to share your assets then of course you must also share your debts.
If she doesn't pay then they can take the IOUs to court and sue her.
Since she likes court so much, she can go there every day.
Fine, let me take care of it.
Mr. Dong, let me see you out.
Xiao Gang.
- Should I be keeping my eye on you? - What do you mean, Master Chi?
You've been coming up with quite a few ruthless ideas for our clients lately.
I'm sure they must have crossed your mind as well.
You just didn't want to suggest them, right?
Xiao Gang.
A lot of things in this world may seem to be bound by destiny.
Until you finally learn to not put your success and failure
in the hands of destiny, you still have a long way to go.
Understand?
No wonder he was destined to lose his wife and be a loser.
Coming.
Hello, are you Mrs. Dong?
- Who are you? - It must be her.
Hello, madam.
We're Da Hai's friends.
Da Hai's always told us how kind and capable his wife is.
But Dong Da Hai's not home right now.
That's okay, madam.
Da Hai said we can talk to you instead.
- You're family, right? - Yeah, family.
- Please come in. - Thanks, madam.
Please.
Have a seat.
So, how can I help you?
Madam.
Dong Da Hai's borrowed some money from us.
Recently we've been a little tight.
So I wonder when you can pay us back.
How much?
Take a look at this.
[IOU from Dong Da Hai]
Twenty million?
- When did that happen? - More than a year ago.
They kept forcing me to pay them back for Dong Da Hai.
They said they'll sue me if I don't pay them back.
They said they've got IOUs.
They have IOUs.
But why?
Why do I have to pay them back for Dong Da Hai?
I don't even know when Dong Da Hai borrowed the money from them.
I didn't even spend any of that money.
He's already given all that money to Luo Mei Yuan.
It's got nothing to do with me.
How come Dong Da Hai's become such a creep?
- Why? - Maybe he doesn't want to lose.
That's why he's using such a dirty trick.
I know exactly why he got those people to ask me for money.
He just wants to make me back down.
But why should I back down?
I'm supposed to be the victim, right?
- How about this? - No, let me tell you.
Before he met Luo Mei Yuan
we were so happy together and got along really well.
He loved me so much.
But ever since he met that woman...
he became such a creep.
That woman was such a bad influence on Dong Da Hai.
Since she wanted to ruin my life
I also wanted to ruin hers.
All this is driving me crazy.
I really can't live like this.
Miss Miao.
If this is really difficult for you then perhaps you should talk to Dong Da Hai.
What's there to talk about?
He doesn't even want to see me.
He only lets me talk to his lawyer.
All his lawyer does is give him bad ideas.
Why would I want to talk to him?
Maybe he's worried that you'd record it or set a trap for him.
Set a trap? What trap?
Am I that kind of person?
Why would I set a trap for him?
Record it?
I don't even know how to do that.
If I knew how I would have started recording a long time ago.
Why would he think like that?
Since we've been married for more than 20 years
he should know what kind of a person I am, right?
Yeah.
How am I supposed to live like this?
My dear, do you see that rock in the distance?
It's standing firmly and silently in the tide.
Like a vow.
It never cries.
That's me. Yes, that's me.
But when you walked into my life, I'm no longer as strong as the rock.
Even a drop of quietly falling rain
makes me want to cry non-stop.
I love you so.
This is the reason of my being.
I lost my job.
You lost your job?
Have you told Mei Yu yet?
She's such a nagger. Do you think I'd tell her?
It's already nine o'clock. Don't you have to go home?
I told her I'm working overtime today.
Don't give yourself too much pressure.
You'll find another job soon. Take your time.
I can't help but cry...
I love you so.
This is the reason of my being.
I love you so.
That's why I'm standing here.
I love you so.
This is the reason of my being.
I love you so.
That's why I'm standing here.
Bravo.
Hey, honey.
Honey...
I'm sorry, I just felt like having a drink after work.
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you.
That's okay.
I saw your car as I was passing by, so I thought I'd come in.
You're not angry, are you?
Give me a hug.
I just bought this bar.
He can come here for drinks in the future so I can keep an eye on him.
All right, let's go home.
- My jacket... - I've got it.
Let's go.
Mei Yu.
Qian Kuen's a great guy.
- Take care of him. - We're going now.
Bye.
Hello, Shi Jiang.
Here's the IOU that Dong Da Hai gave me.
- May I have a look? - It's a photocopy.
The original copy's already been certified.
I wasn't going to use this.
But if you insist on freezing his accounts
then I'll just have to submit it to the court and demand repayment.
[IOU]
It's for a total of 80 million.
Dong Da Hai was still married when he borrowed the money from me.
When I bought the mansion
he repaid a small amount through mortgage payments.
But he still owes me 60 million.
Since the money was borrowed before he got divorced
and he gave up all his assets when he got divorced
I have every right to demand that his ex-wife bear part of this debt.
Dong Da Hai.
80 million.
What did you do with this 80 million?
Did you build a spaceship with it?
I lost it all in an investment.
What investment? Stop lying.
This is not necessarily the goal.
We've tried every way to find evidence in order to satisfy our goals.
Can we seriously think about what our ultimate goal is?
Dong, can we just skip over the means?
No. Why skip over it?
Why should we skip over it?
After all that I've gone through with Dong Da Hai
why should I let another woman enjoy his wealth?
We can't skip over it.
Then what can you do about it?
Shut up.
Who do you think you are?
Chi Hai Dong, it must have been your idea, right?
Is that a yes?
Bring it on.
You can give me a few more IOUs.
You better listen carefully.
From now on, I won't do be doing anything else except for one thing.
Going to court to fight you guys.
I've got all the time in the world.
Attorney Chi.
Let's step outside for a moment.
An IOU for 80 million?
What a stupid idea.
You can trick Miao Jin Xiu
but would you dare use it as evidence in court?
As an experienced lawyer
don't you know that's falsifying evidence?
Listen, I didn't agree to such an idea.
Only Dong Da Hai's stupid enough to do it.
But try putting yourself in his shoes.
All he wants is to get divorced, right?
He only used this trick on Miao Jin Xiu so that he can minimize his loss.
He's actually given her more than what she deserves.
But you just had to complicate things.
By revealing the mansion that he bought for Luo Mei Yuan
you've proven that he's been hiding his assets.
If you insist on freezing his accounts then you're really going to ruin his life.
Everything that we've done was legal and reasonable.
We also only did what we had to do.
I just want to remind you that Dong Da Hai's a rough guy.
Goodness knows what he's capable of.
If he decides to settle it with violence then things will get really ugly.
Chi Hai Dong, are you threatening me?
Can you stop coming up with dirty tricks for your client?
After his threat and the watch, now there's an 80-million-yuan debt.
Come on, can't you try something new?
Listen, if you ever try anything again
I'll teach you a lesson.
Fine, then just get Miao Jin Xiu to sue Dong Da Hai for false evidence.
Just send Dong Da Hai and me to jail.
As her lawyer can't you try to think about what your client really wants?
I don't need you to teach me how to be a lawyer.
Does Cao Qian Kuen work here?
Yes, but he's in a meeting right now.
Can you wait until he comes out of the meeting?
Cao Qian Kuen, come out!
I know you're here, stop hiding!
You can't go in there.
- Come out right now! - Who are you after?
Out of my way!
Where are you? Cao Qian Kuen...
You can't hide from me!
I'll find you!
Come out right now!
Please wait a moment.
Qian Kuen, she's here to see you.
- Qian Kuen... - What's this supposed to mean?
What are you trying to do?
Do you want have a fight in front of everyone?
Do you want to embarrass me?
Do you want to fight?
Do you want everyone...
Honey... don't cry.
I know, it's my fault.
Honey, it's my fault.
I'm sorry, don't cry, okay?
I'm sorry, honey.
Don't cry, okay?
Honey.
You've been really weird lately.
So I doubted you.
And I followed you.
I kept thinking that you must have been cheating on me.
But I only realized today what an uncaring wife I've been.
After going through such a rough patch at work...
But whenever you saw me
you still had to pretend to be happy.
Since you didn't want me to be worried
I know you've been pretending to go to work every day.
In order to save money, you'd drive to the train station to catch the train.
But I still asked you to buy my such expensive presents.
I'm such a bad wife.
Honey.
For me and for our family
you've sacrificed so much.
But what about me?
I didn't help you at all.
It was actually Shi Jiang who was there to support you.
Shi Jiang.
I don't know what I should say
but thank you so much for finding such a good job for me.
Thank you.
Honey.
I feel so guilty.
I'm sorry for being such a bad wife.
Promise me something.
If you ever run into any problem in the future
can I be the first to know?
I want to share your burden with you.
Not only am I here to share your joy
but I can also share your sorrows.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm so sorry.
You mean the woman that I saw last time?
- How did you meet her? - The three of us all met at school.
Shi Jiang already liked me back then.
After she went to the States, we just didn't keep in touch.
But when she came back not long ago
we just...
we just got together.
So she knows your wife as well?
- So what are you going to do? - I don't know, that's why I'm asking you.
- You're not getting divorced, are you? - No way.
Then just break up with her.
That's what I thought, but...
it's easier said than done.
To be honest, she's really nice to me.
She always listens to me.
But as for me and Mei Yu
I finally know why people say
you should marry someone with a similar background.
You know, just the thought of going home stresses me out now.
People often feel upset because of a lack of freedom.
But the lack of freedom usually results from us wanting more than we should.
For example
you're inside this cage.
When I say 'you', I mean your 'self-indulgence'.
It's like solely focusing on yourself and your own desires.
The bigger your desires grow, the tighter the cage will be around you.
So you'll feel very uncomfortable.
Even if you let your desires grow so big
that you've managed to break this cage
there will be another stronger cage waiting for you.
And then what?
There's a way of setting yourself free.
You can forget your desires and reduce your self-indulgence.
If you can reduce it to a size that's even smaller than the gap in the bars
then you'll be able to walk out through that gap.
What if I run into an even smaller cage?
Now that's a good question.
Then just let your self-indulgence disappear into thin air.
- Then what happens? - Nothing.
Since you're no longer focusing on yourself
and your desires, you're finally free.
Miss Luo.
Not many people know about the mansion that Dong Da Hai bought.
So he's wondering how you knew about it.
I'm under a lot of pressure right now.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Of course I trust you.
But I feel really guilty about it.
I can't face Chi Hai Dong or Dong Da Hai lately.
I want to tell them the truth
but what if they don't forgive me?
Also, I didn't do it on purpose.
Actually, I'm even thinking about changing jobs.
Really?
Found anything yet?
This is my first job since I graduated, so I don't know anyone.
It's also a very small industry.
If I apply to other law firms
and if Chi Hai Dong finds out about it
then it'll be really awkward.
All right, I'll keep an eye out for you.
I'll recommend you if I find anything suitable.
Miss Luo, thank you so much for that.
I've been so stressed out that I can hardly sleep at night.
I really didn't know what to do so I thought I'd ask you out for dinner.
Now I feel a lot better.
Hello, Mom.
You just got on the train?
I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.
Okay, bye.
Is Auntie coming to Beijing?
- I can pick her up. - It's okay.
It's not easy to get a cab at the station.
It took me an hour to get a cab last time.
It's too cold and windy to let your mom stand around waiting.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, of course.
It'd be my pleasure.
So she's arriving tomorrow morning?
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Is she really that unforgettable?
She is.
- She seemed quite ordinary. - Don't judge a book by its cover.
Well, I didn't exactly read it, did I?
You've got its contents on your phone?
Fine, don't show me.
Very ordinary.
My own desires have suddenly grown bigger.
Looks like it'd be impossible for you to reduce your desire.
That's enough.
I must forget what I just saw and keep being a vegetarian.
Here's some advice.
It's okay if you wanted to play around before you have a family.
But you can't do that now.
Now you have a son with Tang Mei Yu.
So you're already a father.
As a man, you must be responsible.
Do you think you can send me that photo?
I just...
can't seem to grow up.
Forget what I just said.
That's enough.
You're so annoying.
It's up to you to decide.
Miss Luo, I'll pick you up at seven tomorrow morning.
We should leave early to avoid traffic.
Okay, just call me. Bye.
Bye.
Honey, drinking too much is bad for your stomach.
I've cooked some porridge for you.
Have some after you wake up.
Wake me up if you don't feel well, okay?
You're awake.
Leave the light off.
- Cheers! - You're such a great singer.
Hey, isn't this your song?
No, I can't sing.
- But you picked it. - Go on.
- But it's a duet. - I'll sing with you.
I suddenly...
Remember the time when we first got together.
I knew...
that you only pretended to be drunk that day.
Yeah.
Otherwise I wouldn't have married the best wife in the world.
Honey, you know what?
When I woke up downstairs...
I heard so many sounds in our house.
The sound of the air-conditioner.
The sound of our toilet.
The sound of the clock that never seems to have the right time.
The sound of our crying baby.
And the sound of your laughter.
They all sounded so good.
Miss Luo, I'll pick you up at seven tomorrow morning.
- We should leave early to avoid traffic. - Okay.
- Just call me. Bye. - Bye.
I want to see who it is.
Are you out for your jog?
- What are you doing here? - I'm picking up Attorney Luo's parents.
I'll be at the office soon.
Whose car is that?
Since I can't use the company car, I borrowed it from someone.
Master Chi, should I come back to pick you up?
- Can you make it? - I'll try my best.
Will you get into trouble with Chi Hai Dong?
He can be quite mean sometimes.
You two haven't been talking much lately, have you?
I really admire you for having worked for him for so many years.
Miss Luo, you know Master Wu quite well, right?
I heard there are vacancies at his firm.
Do you think you can ask and see if I'm suitable?
Sure, I'll ask him later.
How old is this guy?
- Does he have a girlfriend? - No, I don't, Auntie.
- You don't? - Where's the car?
It's over there.
Mom, stop asking him questions. How embarrassing.
We're just friends, so don't ask any more questions.
Come on, why would a friend come all this way to pick up your parents?
That's all she thinks about all day.
At least I care about her.
I think she's going crazy.
Is there a good psychiatric hospital in Beijing for her?
Shut up, you're the one who's crazy.
Of course I'd go crazy.
If I had not been alive, your dad would have remarried already.
How can you... fine.
Watch that suitcase.
You should be the one falling in love instead of that crazy old man.
Mom, please show me some respect when we're outside.
It's the capital of China.
- Can you wait until you get home? - All right.
- Uncle, Auntie, please get in the car. - Sure, I'll sit in the front.
- You sit in the back with Li Li. - But I want to talk to him.
My dear mother, please get in the car.
Please take a look at this for me.
Since my uncle doesn't have any children in Beijing
he wants to give me his house as a way to thank me for looking after him.
So have you picked them up?
Luo Li's parents?
Yeah, they're already at her place.
The traffic was really bad so I didn't have time to pick you up.
So why did she ask you to pick up her parents?
I don't know, but she's been asking me out quite often lately.
I'm not really sure.
Xiao Gang.
About Luo Mei Yuan's mansion
could you have mentioned it to Luo Li during one of your conversations?
Absolutely not.
I never mention a word about our cases whenever I'm with her.
