[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 29
I'd like to ask the ex-groom to put the veil on the ex-bride.
From now on, they shall have nothing to do with one another
and go their separate ways.
Dong Da Hai!
No matter what kind of problems she runs into in the future
we'll always be here to help her.
Tell her that if she can't take care of the baby after it's born
then we'll be here for her.
The baby's innocent, right?
If she prefers to look after her baby
instead of coming to us, then that's fine too.
Whenever she or her baby needs help
whether it be money, a nanny, or whatever
we'll always be here to support and help her.
According to the law, both a legitimate and illegitimate child
shall have equal rights
when it comes to support, education, and financial inheritance.
I know I was wrong.
So I deserve it.
It's understandable for you to blame him.
Tell Dong Da Hai
that I don't blame him and can't blame anyone.
I was just too self-righteous.
He didn't do anything wrong and neither did I.
I agree.
But I'll never make the same mistake again for the rest of my life.
I hope he won't make the same mistake again either.
Such a mistake can be very hurtful.
He has a family, a wife, and a child.
He's a married man.
So he should be loving his wife, child, and family instead.
He should go home after work and talk to his wife.
He should spend his weekends with his family.
He should be a father who his child is proud of
and a good husband instead of dumping his wife and child at home
and going to a young woman's place in search of romance
and a sense of existence.
That's the biggest failure of his life.
I'm impressed.
She's certainly a role model for the new-age woman.
Little hippo.
Hello, do you have time tonight?
Let's have dinner, I need to talk to you about something.
Okay, I'll see you then.
Okay, bye.
- Are you going out? - I'm meeting up with Hai Dong.
Don't come home too late.
Don't worry.
They want to get divorced just because of that?
Are you sure there's nothing else?
All right.
Then I must go out and try to settle it for them.
It would be good for them to go on TV.
We'll ask them to explain to one another in front of the whole country.
It's important for them to be honest with one another.
What are you doing?
Okay, listen.
Let me talk to the TV station.
I know them really well.
I'll call you back once I've confirmed something with them.
Sure, bye.
Can you be quiet when I'm working?
What are we having for dinner?
- It's already very late. - Hello, Director Chen.
Hi there, I'm Li Chuen Hua.
That's it...
Listen.
After the show aired
it became very popular.
Everyone loved it.
So a lot of people are seeking my advice now.
One of my old neighbors just called me
and told me a story that's very interesting.
It's about an old remarried couple who want to get divorced.
Old people nowadays have such bad tempers.
I just can't understand them.
Dad?
Dad, why are you exercising in the cold?
What did Mom do this time?
She's been on the phone since we finished lunch
and during my whole soccer game. Look what time it is now.
She shouldn't have disturbed your soccer game.
Come on, let's go home and talk to her.
You should try and convince her to resign from that TV show.
Now all our friends and relatives are calling her all the time.
Why must they talk about their family affairs on TV?
Aren't they embarrassed at all?
- Your phone's ringing. - That's why I'm mad.
It's so stupid.
- Hello? - It's Zhang here.
Hi, Zhang, what's up?
I saw your wife on TV.
Good for her for being on TV.
Listen, Zhang.
Don't be so naive.
TV shows are all fake.
That's all, bye.
I can't believe it.
How can you say all TV shows are fake?
If I hadn't said that, he'd probably come knocking on my door.
Dad, think about it.
You used to find Mom annoying when she did nothing but nag you.
But now that she has a job
and is nagging other people instead, you're still complaining.
Listen, all I want is for her to be my life long partner.
But look at her.
All she does is talk on the phone now.
She no longer goes to the market, cooks, does the laundry...
You better come to the market with me or we'll starve.
Dad, it's too cold to go to the market.
Then what should we do?
A lot of people buy food and groceries on the internet now.
Look.
[Number one store]
- It's really convenient. - What's that?
What vegetables do you want?
Spinach.
- Sweet peas. - Sweet peas.
- Leek. - Here.
- Done. - Will it get delivered?
They'll be delivered once you get home.
Give it a shake and you'll get a discount.
Really? Let me try.
Dad, be careful with my phone.
A 15 yuan discount.
- You got it, Dad. - I'll shake it again to get 30 yuan off.
Dad, the vegetables we bought don't even cost 30 yuan.
Couldn't you tell that was my phone?
What's wrong?
Are you waiting for Luo Li to send you a message?
[Honey, buy me some dinner when you come home.]
I don't really care.
I've been very busy lately.
Busy?
Would your company send you WeChat messages?
Stop lying.
Is it Shi Jiang?
- My wife. - She wants you home?
She wants me to buy her some dinner.
So, have you broken up with Shi Jiang yet?
That's what's been troubling me.
Have you ever sent a message to the wrong woman by mistake?
Dong has.
- Dong Da Hai. - He has?
One time, when we all went out for dinner
he was sending messages on WeChat.
Wrong person?
I sent the wrong message to my wife by mistake.
What should I do?
My wife's calling me.
Hello?
Darling.
That's right.
Yes.
I sent it.
Yeah, you mean Mina?
Since we've been married for so long
I thought
we should spice things up a little.
That's why I decided to call you Mina. Do you like it?
Old-fashioned?
Yeah, I guess.
That's right, of course not.
I'm with Hai Dong, you can talk to him if you don't believe me.
Here, say something.
See? I told you, okay.
I won't call you Mina again.
Did it work?
Safe.
Then we kept eating and he went back to his messaging.
- Wrong person again? - Yeah.
I'm dead meat.
What should I do?
It's my wife again.
Hi, Honey.
That's right.
Yes.
I did send it.
That's right.
Since you thought Mina was too old-fashioned
I thought I'd call you Dong Li instead.
What do you think?
Dong? It was a typo.
You don't like it?
Okay, I'll think of something else.
I'm serious.
Okay, I'll be home soon.
Safe.
I don't believe you.
It really happened, I'm serious.
It's absolutely true.
Dong Da Hai might not be very smart
but at least his wife is dumber than he is.
You're different.
Did it happen to you, too?
No, it's not that.
When I was asleep last night
Shi Jiang sent me a message.
Mei Yu actually managed to break my phone's password.
- Did they talk? - Yeah, no...
Shi Jiang didn't speak, so nothing happened.
Even though things might be okay now...
I really think...
you should guard against Shi Jiang.
She might not let you off the hook that easily.
Also, what's so great about this woman?
I think even if you don't break up with her now
she'll probably just dump you one day.
I think she's quite serious about me.
Both men and women can be serious.
The reason why a woman would get serious
is because she wants him to marry her.
Whereas we don't have to be serious.
By not being serious
I mean you should have a serious talk with her.
You're different now.
You're a father now.
Listen.
Ask her to come out and tell her
'Things just happened naturally and I didn't force you at all.'
'So, what happens now?'
'If we don't end this, then what about my wife and son?'
The thing is I don't know how to say it.
It's easy, just think of your dad.
My dad?
No matter how much your mom yelled at him
he still struggled to bring you up.
Now you're a grown-up and he's so old.
He's still married to your mom, right?
Look at me instead.
The most important quality for a man is to be honest.
Even though my hand got hurt from being honest
at least I protected myself.
Here, I wish you luck.
I had my baby last year.
My child's already more than a year old now.
I suddenly feel that my husband doesn't love me anymore.
Did he do anything to make you feel that way?
I just can't feel his love anymore.
You can't feel it?
You mean he has other distractions?
Like an affair?
He wouldn't dare.
You know what?
He comes straight home from work every day.
Even when he has to go out with his clients
he sends me photos to show me who he's with.
He sounds like a good husband.
But before we got married
he'd take me anywhere that I wanted to go.
He even took me along to dinners with his clients.
But after I had our baby
I became a stay at home mom.
When he comes home from work, he just plays with the baby
and doesn't talk to me much anymore.
When I asked him if he still loves me
he said he does.
But when I asked him why he doesn't talk to me now
he said he's tired from work
so he doesn't feel like talking.
When our baby's asleep, he starts playing on his computer.
So I told him I wanted to get divorced.
When he agreed, I burst out crying.
Then he changed his mind.
Ever since then
I can't sleep at all.
One night, when I saw him lying there
I kept staring at him like this.
He was deeply asleep.
I really felt like killing myself.
No, you should never think like that.
From my understanding
you two have already talked about getting divorced, right?
I've already talked to him a few times.
I said we should just get divorced if he doesn't love me anymore.
But he said since we're already married
it's too much a hassle to get divorced.
But if I don't get divorced...
I'm only 32 years old
so I still have many years ahead of me.
Then he said we can get divorced on one condition.
He wants custody of our child.
I can give up everything, but I must keep my child.
So what does your husband do?
He works as building management.
I don't understand how come he's always so busy.
What do you do?
I used to work.
But I resigned after I had my baby.
That means you'll have look after your child without any source of income.
Have you thought about what you'll do after you get divorced?
It's okay, don't worry.
We'll figure something out.
Let me tell you.
This has been so hard on me.
I really can't stand the two of us not talking at all.
- I understand. - I must get divorced.
If you've already made up your mind to get divorced
it's best to do it before your child turns two.
This way, the court's more likely to give you custody.
- Unless you don't want your child. - Of course I do.
I don't want anything else except for my child.
Attorney Luo.
Unlike him, I don't have a job.
Don't worry.
First, financial ability won't guarantee him the child's custody.
Second, if you have custody
the child's father will have to pay child support.
Here we are...
Hello, may I help you?
We're here to see Pan Xiao Gang's boss.
Pan Xiao Gang's boss? Is there a problem?
- We'd like to make a complaint. - That's right.
- What's going on? - Attorney Chi.
They want to see Pan Xiao Gang's boss.
- Who are you? - We're from the neighborhood committee.
- Are you his boss? - I guess so.
We want to make a complaint.
- This is Pan Xiao Gang's uncle. - He's his uncle?
- You must help him. - Please help him.
- Please, come inside. - This way, please.
- Bring us some water. - Okay.
Luo Li.
I wanted to let you know.
I'm sitting in my new office right now.
It's certainly a very nice office, thank you.
A friend of mine has given me some crabs.
I'll bring them over to your parents after work.
Can you take a look at this for me?
My uncle doesn't have any children in Beijing.
Since I've been looking after him, he wants to give me his house.
You know what's going on, right?
This is the agreement that Pan Xiao Gang signed with his uncle.
It clearly says he must look after his uncle.
He hasn't been back to see his uncle since he signed the agreement.
He keeps saying he's too busy to look after him.
He suggested putting him into a nursing home
so that he can be looked after.
However, the nursing home requires him to put his house up as collateral.
Since Pan Xiao Gang signed this agreement with his uncle
they said they need Xiao Gang's approval to put his house up as collateral
or to cancel this agreement, before they can do anything.
When his uncle talked to him about it
he wouldn't do it.
He refused to do it no matter what his uncle said.
Attorney Chi.
Pan Xiao Gang's not Mr. Pan's son.
He's only his nephew.
Mr. Pan is his uncle.
When he came to study in Beijing
since Mr. Pan doesn't have any children
they decided to let Mr. Pan adopt Pan Xiao Gang.
Even though they didn't sign any legal documents
Mr. Pan still loved him as though he were his own son.
That's why when Pan Xiao Gang showed him that agreement
Mr. Pan agreed right away.
According to their agreement
if Pan Xiao Gang looks after Mr. Pan
then Mr. Pan will let him inherit the house.
But soon after that
Mr. Pan had a stroke which has affected his speech.
Pan Xiao Gang didn't even come to visit him.
So our committee found him a caregiver
to cook and do simple housework for him.
But this isn't a long term solution.
We called Pan Xiao Gang and said
'We know you're very busy.'
'You're so busy that you don't have time to look after your uncle.'
'So we reckon you should cancel the agreement that you signed'
'and let us put him into a nursing home.'
'Since there'll be people looking after him at the nursing home'
'you won't have to worry about him anymore.'
Guess what he said to me.
He said, 'I never said I wouldn't take care of him.'
'I'll look after him.'
Don't you think he's such a hypocrite?
But his uncle doesn't want Xiao Gang to take care of him at all.
He thinks his uncle's a real burden.
Mr. Pan now knows what a cruel person his nephew really is.
Uncle, can you understand what I'm saying?
Can you tell me what you think about this agreement?
I don't want him to look after me.
Don't worry.
I'll ask him to come now.
- Where are you? - I'm at reception.
Attorney Pan.
Come here.
Come and sit over here.
Sit down.
He's your uncle, right?
Well...
they'd like you to cancel this agreement.
Cancel the agreement?
Master Chi.
Look at my uncle, of course I must take care of him.
Why did you two bring my uncle here?
I'll take you guys home, let's go.
We wouldn't have brought your uncle here
if you hadn't treated him so poorly.
Auntie Yu.
This is my family affair.
My uncle's mind has been a bit unclear since his stroke
but yours is still clear, right?
So I shouldn't work at all
and should just stay at home with him 24 hours a day?
I don't need you.
Xiao Gang, we know how busy you are at work
so we can understand.
But somebody has to look after your uncle, right?
We've already found a nursing home for him.
He'll be in good hands.
Why don't you just cancel that agreement?
Who are you to decide to send my uncle to a nursing home?
- Auntie Qi, he's my uncle. - He doesn't want you to look after him.
I know, but that's because his mind isn't clear now.
I'm the one who'll decide whether he goes to a nursing home or not.
It seems like you are trying to get my uncle to give you his house instead.
That's certainly a possibility.
Master Chi, remember that case we took?
A lonely old man who was looked after by his neighbors.
As soon as he died, they sold his house.
When his children came back from overseas they sued the neighbors, remember?
How can you say that we're after his house?
We just want justice.
Attorney Chi, give us some advice.
In such an agreement
he's only entitled to get the house if he provides care.
If he doesn't, then he gets nothing, right?
Now that his uncle doesn't want to be looked after by him
we can cancel this agreement.
Don't you think so?
But you still need to follow legal procedures.
- Xiao Gang... - I never said I wouldn't take care of him.
Also, this agreement was signed by both parties.
So it can't be canceled by just a single party.
Master Chi.
You also read through it before I signed it.
You were my witness.
As long as I don't give up looking after my uncle
he doesn't have the right to reject my care.
Xiao Gang.
It's true that there's nothing your uncle can do if you insist on taking care of him.
As lawyers
we shouldn't entrap others, right?
Master Chi.
I still remember the first lesson that you taught me on my first day of work.
You said, the law is the law.
The law is ruthless.
Did you understand what I meant?
I've actually come here today to submit my resignation.
Thank you for looking after me for such a long time.
But today will be my last day in this office.
As for you, it's best if you can stay out of our family affairs.
If you really want to play the good person
then why don't you show your generosity and take my uncle into your house?
It's easy to criticize others.
You won't know how hard it really is until you do it yourself.
How can he do something like that?
Mr. Pan should have strangled him as soon as he was born.
But he's not Mr. Pan's son.
I'd rather burn my house down...
than to give it to him.
Keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything crazy.
Don't worry.
Attorney Chi.
What is it?
Our landlord just asked if we're going to extend our rental.
- Is it already up? - Yes.
Coming.
Sit down, it's for me.
- Xiao Gang. - Hello, Auntie.
Come in.
- Uncle's inside. - Hello, Uncle.
- Come in. - Have a seat.
Have a seat over there.
Auntie, Uncle, my friend gave me these crabs.
- So I thought I'd let you try them. - They must have been so expensive.
Have a seat. Get us some water.
Xiao Gang, you're very welcome to come to our place anytime.
But don't bring us any more presents.
- We've got everything we need. - That's right.
- Thank you, Uncle. - Have some water.
I know, but since I don't have any family in Beijing
I thought I'd bring them to you instead.
- Thank you. - You're welcome, Uncle.
You've got an uncle here, right?
But he had a stroke so he can't really eat crabs.
- So who's looking after him now? - I am.
He doesn't have any children so of course it's me.
Xiao Gang's such a kind person.
Can you get the phone?
- So... - I'm sure it's for you, you take it.
Let me answer it first.
Xiao Gang.
- Have some fruit. - Okay.
Hello, Li Li.
Xiao Gang's here right now.
You're not coming home for dinner?
Okay, don't be too late.
We'll wait for you, bye.
I shouldn't have hung up.
I don't need to talk to her.
I only came to see you and give you the crabs.
What about this?
Why don't you stay for dinner?
- We can have the crabs together. - Let's have a drink, too.
Uncle, Auntie, I'm afraid I can't.
I'm busy. I just dropped by to see you.
You're not going home soon, right?
Just give me a call if you want to go somewhere.
I can drive you around.
It won't take long at all, so just stay...
No, thanks. I really have to go now.
- Call me, okay? - You're going?
- Call me if you need me. - Are you sure?
I'm going now.
Bye, Uncle, Auntie.
- Drive safely. - Okay.
- Be careful on the road. - I will.
- Bye, Auntie. - Okay, bye.
- He's so nice. - My favorite!
Put it down.
You can get it.
Hello?
- Chuen Hua. - Qin?
Do you want to speak to my husband?
I want to talk to you.
Go on.
My niece had a fight with her husband.
So I asked her to talk to you and try to get some advice.
You're an expert in solving people's marriage problems on TV, right?
But when my niece called you, it was your husband who took the call.
He told her to contact your daughter.
In the end
they decided to get divorced.
- But... - She said your daughter told her
if they get divorced before their child turns two
then it's very likely that she'll get custody.
I thought it was just small fight.
How could she tell them to get divorced?
I know that your daughter
is a divorce lawyer.
But she shouldn't have done that.
It was only a small argument.
Is she desperate for money or something?
You should have a good talk with your daughter.
Unbelievable.
I...
- Do you know what you've done? - What?
What? Did Qin call and ask to speak to me?
She wanted me to convince her niece not to get divorced.
But what did you do?
You told Luo Li about it, right?
Luo Li's a divorce lawyer.
Of course she'd want them to get divorced.
Was that what happened?
When she called, she told me her niece had a fight with her husband
and they wanted to get divorced.
So of course I had to refer them to Luo Li.
What's the use of talking to you about it?
- You're so sneaky. - What do you mean?
- When Xiao Qin called... - It's Qin!
What's wrong with me being friends with Qin?
- There's nothing between us. - Nothing?
Then why didn't you tell me about the call?
- I don't want to talk to you. - Then who do you want to talk to?
Listen, since we don't have any guests in the house today
just give me some peace and quiet.
Stop causing trouble, you crazy woman.
Yes, I'm crazy.
- But you're a sneaky creep. - I...
What are you thinking about?
Can you get me some olive oil?
- Can we talk? - Get me my olive oil first.
Not that one, that's for cooking.
The other one is for salads.
Can you wait until we've talked...
Can you prepare the fish for me?
Let's have an early dinner, okay?
We can talk over dinner.
Thank you.
Be careful with the knife.
Back in the States, not only did I have to cook all by myself
I also had to fix the roof, mow the lawn, paint my house
and fix my car by myself.
A lot of people think I've been living such a luxurious life.
Actually, that's not the case at all.
Can you let me finish first?
Make sure you don't break the gall bladder when you prepare the fish.
If you break it, the whole fish will become bitter.
Then we can't eat it at all.
Okay?
I really want to...
Hang on.
Hello?
How is that possible?
The States protects children.
How can such a young child live without his mother?
But he's my son, you know that.
I've paid you such high fees but you've done nothing at all.
Are you actually working on my case at all?
They're so cold-blooded.
When I was in the States
I got married, had a child
and went through a lot of things.
I didn't want to tell you about it
because I didn't want you to worry about me.
I can take care of my own problems.
He's also Chinese.
His family lives in Fujian
and runs a huge family business.
To tell you the truth
back then
I only decided to marry him because I wanted to get the green card.
When we first got married he was very nice to me.
So I began to have feelings for him.
Then his parents wanted us to have children.
At first, I disagreed.
But since he was being so nice to me
I was really touched by him.
He made me believe that I could rely on him for the rest of my life.
Also...
there was a reward.
His parents said
so long as I gave their family a son
they'd give me 50 million yuan.
I was very lucky.
After I gave birth...
they told me it was a son.
So I thought
from that moment on, I'd start enjoying the luxury of being a wealthy wife.
But I never expected...
that after my son was born
everything would change.
He started staying out late every day.
He also had another woman.
Every time he came home drunk he'd argue with me.
But I still ignored him.
I decided to put up with it for the sake of my child.
However...
he started hitting me.
That was when I couldn't stand it anymore.
So I made up my mind.
Even if I didn't get a cent from him
I still had to divorce him.
I wanted to take my child and leave him.
But he just wouldn't let me go.
In the end
his parents found me.
They said
'It's fine if you want to get divorced.'
'But don't even think about taking the child.'
They even said
'You'll never see your child again.'
From then on...
I never saw my son again.
So, do you understand now?
That's why I burst out crying...
when I saw your son's photo last time.
I really miss my son.
It's absolutely heartbreaking
for a mother to leave her child.
