Episode 42
Give me back that note.
What's this?
The lotto numbers that my son picked for me.
It'll get drawn tonight.
- Why did you hit me? - Your son!
Your son!
Lotto.
Your son picked the winning numbers.
- Hello? - Luo Li, it's Chi Hai Dong...
Hello...
He's very drunk.
- No, I'm not. - Hey, listen.
When Hai Dong went to your office this afternoon
he saw some numbers written on a piece of paper.
Did Mei Yu end up buying those numbers?
I couldn't get through to her so...
You just want to know if you've won the lotto, right?
That's okay.
The point is not about winning money.
She's my wife and I love her.
But I can't find her right now.
I'm in such a panic right now.
Can you tell me where she is...
- So did she buy it? - No.
I'm sure you won.
Trust me, you won.
- Where are my clothes? - I've never seen anyone win lotto.
Over there, go and find her.
I've never won lotto before. I also need money.
- Hai Dong. - What?
She's no longer my wife.
If I go to her now, she might think I'm just after her money.
I know what you mean.
So should I go?
Should I?
Do you want me to go?
Chi, should I go or not?
Cao, listen.
I know
that we may not be perfect husbands.
But we love them and we just want the best for them.
What you and Shi Jiang did was just a mistake.
You want the best for Tang Mei Yu
and I wanted the best for Yan Yan.
But we didn't succeed, right?
Money is nothing.
So you're not going to ask for your share of the money.
Instead, you're going to share your joy.
Go and tell her that she won the lotto.
She won ten million.
So even after you get divorced
this ten million will support her life and help bring up your son.
Then ask her you to give you one yuan.
Just one yuan.
This one yuan will represent the time that you spent together
and the joy that you once shared, get it?
- Once more. - Get it?
- I'm going... - Off you go...
Bye.
Get changed first.
What are you doing lying here?
I've found her.
Honey.
I'm coming to save you.
You jerk.
I'm coming to save you.
Here I come.
Who is it?
Mei Yu, it's Hai Dong.
- What are you doing here? - Your cellphone's off.
You didn't pick up your home phone either.
Qian Kuen got really worried about you.
So worried that he passed out.
I guess you two are just drunk.
I've got some great news for you.
What's that?
Aren't you going to invite me inside?
I've got Qian Kuen's things here.
You can bring them back for him.
No, I didn't come here to pick these up.
Mei Yu, listen.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially men.
How can a man guarantee that he'll always focus on his wife?
It's normal to get distracted at times.
So he can't be forgiven and can't come home just because of a small mistake?
- Am I right? - Of course.
But what about you?
You didn't forgive Jiao Yan Yan either.
Why couldn't you treat her affair as just a small mistake that can be forgiven?
Mei Yu, listen to me.
What happened with you two
is different from my situation with Jiao Yan Yan.
I've been friends with Cao Qian Kuen for a long time.
So I can tell when he's lying
and I can also tell when he's upset.
Listen to me.
He loves you with all his heart.
He also loves his family and his son.
It's true that he's made a mistake
and he's terribly sorry.
If you're willing to take a step back
and give him a chance
then I'm sure you'll be very happy in the future.
Hai Dong.
I really can't do it.
If it's so easy to forgive
why didn't you forgive Jiao Yan Yan?
How can you expect me to forgive Cao Qian Kuen now?
All right, I've said all there is to say.
I'll see you guys in court.
You know what?
I still haven't told you the great news.
Remember the note that I saw today?
You just won ten million with it.
You're really drunk, just go home.
Why are you sleeping in my bed?
- I was drunk. - I thought you were sleeping on the sofa.
I went to pee, then I got into your bed.
Hai Dong, your bathroom's really cool.
The light actually goes on and off as you open and close the door.
It's amazing.
The light goes on as the door opens?
I don't recall having that feature.
- Hello? - Attorney Chi, it's Xiao Gang.
My boss wants me to tell you
that he'll be working with Attorney Luo Li on Tang Mei Yu's case.
So you can come to me if you have any questions.
As you know, I'm his assistant, right?
Also, Attorney Luo said
it's very unlikely that Tang Mei Yu would agree to compromise with you.
That's all, bye.
Creep.
I've already apologized, why are you still calling me a creep?
Not you, I mean Pan Xiao Gang.
What happened?
Your divorce case
is now being handled by Wu Wen Hui.
He asked Pan Xiao Gang to call me and let me know.
Why are you using my toothbrush?
- I thought the blue one was mine. - Yours is pink.
It's okay, I don't mind.
Why would Wu Wen Hui want to take on my petty divorce case?
He's trying to challenge me.
If he defeats me, then he'll have a perfect image in front of Luo Li.
Creep.
Listen, if you're not confident about this
I'll fight this battle with you.
I probably have a better chance of winning it on my own.
Remember why you got expelled from university?
Jerk.
It's not as if you've never lost a case.
I haven't.
What about your own divorce case?
I didn't want to be too harsh on my ex-wife.
You mean Luo Li's your ex-wife?
Hai Dong, listen.
Don't even think about challenging Wu Wen Hui.
He's never lost a case, including his own divorce case.
His wife really wanted to get divorced but he just wouldn't agree.
Then suddenly he came up with a good trick to divorce her.
When did that happen?
Want me to tell you?
Listen, Wu Wen Hui's very sly.
He never agreed to get divorced and even found his wife a handsome guy.
In the end, they got divorced peacefully.
He didn't even have to pay her one yuan.
Checking your lotto ticket again?
I've already drafted your divorce application.
Have a look and see if it's okay.
I don't want to read it.
Let's just stick with what you've written.
I'll ask you one more time.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Luo Li.
I once read about a survey.
It said there are two peak periods when Chinese people get divorced.
The first one is after Chinese New Year
and the second one is after high school final exams.
Those who get divorced after Chinese New Year are mostly young people.
They usually want to get divorced because of the pettiest problems
such as whose family to spend the New Year with.
Those who get divorced after the final exams
are mostly middle aged people.
Their problems have been building up and festering.
They usually want to get divorced
after their children turn 18 and leave for university.
I really don't want my marriage to be like that.
I also don't want to lead him on.
If two people aren't happy together
why force them to stay together?
I know. I understand how you feel.
The happy moments that you two had back at university
had always played in my mind like a movie.
I really didn't expect this day to come.
To be honest, I really don't want to take on your case.
Luo Li.
I really don't want to have anything to do with him anymore
in case things get even worse.
That's why I asked you to be my lawyer.
Otherwise I would have taken on this case myself.
Since your case isn't that complicated and your son's still under two
I'm sure you'll get custody.
It's the only request that you've made anyway.
However...
I probably don't need to remind you
but since Cao Qian Kuen's at fault
you have the right to demand compensation.
Since our most precious love is already gone
there's nothing he can do to compensate for it.
I don't want anything from him.
I just want our divorce to go smoothly.
But you should also think about your future.
You must be rational about this.
You still have to raise your son.
Since you don't have much savings
what are you going to do?
Why worry so much?
I might as well get back to checking my lotto ticket.
If lotto can really make you rich, then pigs can also fly.
[Lotto website]
I won.
- Ten million. - Are you dreaming?
It's true.
[Number of winners: 1]
See?
Miss Millionaire, please marry me.
Remember this.
Just stand firm
and say you still love Tang Mei Yu deeply.
As long as the judge can't confirm that your relationship's damaged
then he can't approve the divorce.
But the point...
The point is I had an affair with Shi Jiang.
- But there's no evidence. - Mei Yu already talked to her.
If she didn't catch you in the act then there's no evidence.
Do you think I should make up a touching story?
What story?
I got cancer.
But I didn't want to tell Mei Yu.
So I kept it all to myself.
I only had an affair with Shi Jiang
so that Mei Yu would divorce me.
This way, I could give all of my money to Mei Yu
so that she could start a new life
and forget about me.
What do you think?
Would Shi Jiang agree to support your lie in court?
No.
Shi Jiang's holding something against me.
What's that?
- Photos. - What photos?
- The photos I showed you last time. - I thought they were of Shi Jiang.
She also took some of me.
- What's there to take of you? - What do you know?
- You'll have to get them back. - How?
You can delete them if you want.
I have backups on the cloud.
Shi Jiang.
Let's get straight to the point.
Okay?
I know you and Qian Kuen must have had feelings for one another.
I've grown up with Qian Kuen
so I know him very well.
Since he's not a very talented or responsible person...
even if you make him leave Mei Yu to be with you...
what if he spends all your money one day?
Even if he is influenced by you
and suddenly becomes successful in his career.
If he can leave Tang Mei Yu and his child to be with you
how can you be sure that he won't run away with someone else
after he marries you?
Shi Jiang, listen to me.
I don't care how many photos you have.
Can you please delete all the photos that you have of him?
If you can give him a chance and give yourself a chance
then perhaps we can still be friends.
In this world
some people like cheese while others like stinky tofu.
I'm the kind of person who likes stinky tofu.
It's my favorite.
Look, Shi Jiang.
We're open for negotiation.
What is it that you want?
If I upload these photos to the internet
then people will think of me as being immoral.
But if you and I agree on a price
and close this deal
and our conversation is recorded by you
then it'd be blackmail.
I do happen to have such simple legal knowledge.
What is it that you want?
I know you really want to win this case.
Not just because Cao Qian Kuen's your best friend
but also because
you want to use this case to win Luo Li back from Wu Wen Hui.
Since this is not just an ordinary case
it's going to be a major success or failure in your life
we should have a serious talk about it.
Listen.
I can give you a chance.
But I'm not sure if you'll agree to it.
What do you mean?
Know what I mean?
Not really, well...
Is this what you mean?
Is that possible?
Yes.
Is it possible for me?
I think so.
- Is it possible for Shi Jiang? - Absolutely.
- Then I'll go now. - Hang on...
You're obscene.
Don't worry.
If Shi Jiang makes those photos public
then it'll be just as embarrassing for her.
Just remember this.
Stand firm
and insist that you're still deeply in love with Tang Mei Yu
and that you guarantee to love her for the rest of your life.
I guarantee.
Then let's go to court.
According to clause 2 of article 32 of the Marriage Law
both parties should negotiate when applying for a divorce.
Should the relationship prove to be damaged, the divorce shall be approved.
But my client is still very much in love with his wife.
The female party has acted irrationally due to a slight misunderstanding.
Therefore...
it's actually not impossible for them to reconcile.
My client's relationship with Cao Qian Kuen is already damaged.
He had an affair
which has irreparably damaged their relationship as husband and wife.
As such, their divorce should be approved since there's no room for reconciliation.
What do you mean our relationship is damaged? Do you have proof?
Your honor.
I'll never agree to divorce my wife.
Because our relationship isn't damaged
and she got pregnant before we got married.
He means they have a strong foundation for their marriage.
It's very obvious
that he didn't marry his wife purely because of his love for her.
As he said they only got married as a result of her getting pregnant.
Such a foundation for marriage is usually very weak and unstable.
Luo Li, what do you mean?
Are you saying I shouldn't have married her?
Should she have had an abortion?
Do you want our child to be an illegitimate child?
My client didn't apply to get divorced out of irrationality.
She's already thought it through.
As you said, you married her because she was pregnant.
- Who's the lawyer here? - You are.
Actually, he was spending the night with another woman.
Here's a credit card statement to prove his spending at a hotel.
My client has repeatedly tried to save their relationship.
She got so depressed that she was even hospitalized once.
But the defendant still didn't come forward. He just ignored her.
You don't understand my situation at all.
It's not that I didn't want to come forward, it's just...
It's just that I was very confused so I went away for a break.
I didn't have any phone reception or internet access at all.
I really didn't know.
If I had known that my wife was sick, I...
I would have gone back to see her for sure.
Your honor, I'd like to present another piece of evidence.
We received this during the break.
It'll definitely prove that their relationship is already damaged.
Approved.
Court investigation restored.
I'd like to remind the defendant
that the sender of this parcel was Shi Jiang.
Inside this box, there's a man's T-shirt
socks, a shaver, and some condoms.
In addition, there's a card which says
'Take these back, including your husband.'
'But you should seriously think about taking him back. Good luck.'
Defendant.
Who's Ms. Shi Jiang and what's your relationship with her?
How did she send a box of your personal items to my client?
What did she mean by 'Take these back, including your husband?'
Can we interpret that as proof
that you had an extramarital affair with Miss Shi Jiang?
Defendant, please answer the question.
I...
I don't know how to explain my relationship with Shi Jiang.
But I do admit that I was a little confused at the time.
But at that time
I was really staying at my lawyer's place.
So it's not like...
It's not like what her lawyer said.
So are you admitting that you had a de facto relationship with Shi Jiang
which has caused damage to your relationship with my client?
Luo Li, I never admitted that we had a de facto relationship.
Who are you to say that our relationship is damaged?
Are you married? Do you know what marriage is?
Mei Yu, she's your friend.
She's your best friend, right?
Are you able to spend the rest of your life with her?
Is she able to take care of you and our child forever?
Tell me.
Up until now the defendant still hasn't shown any regret for what he's done.
He also never asked my client for forgiveness
nor has he apologized for his mistake.
Therefore my client thinks he doesn't deserve her love
and such a marriage cannot be repaired.
Just because my client's a poor speaker
does not mean that he doesn't love his wife.
The fact that he's worried about his wife meeting the wrong man after their divorce
clearly proves how much he still loves his wife.
Mei Yu, you know Cao Qian Kuen better than I do.
Think about all the things you've overcome to be with him.
I know he made a mistake, but was it entirely his fault?
He didn't tell you that he'd lost his job because he cared about you.
Try putting yourself in his shoes.
During the course of your marriage he also felt lonely and helpless.
Over the past few days, he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep.
I can say that he's still deeply in love with you.
As his lawyer, and as your mutual friend
I'd like to ask you to give him another chance.
If you make an irrational decision now
you'll lose someone who has promised to love you forever
and lose the happiness that would have belonged to you.
It's not easy for two people to become husband and wife.
The defendant might have made a mistake.
But are you willing to give him a chance
to let him prove his regret with actions?
I have a question for the defendant.
The defendant previously had a strong desire to get divorced.
Why did that suddenly change?
Because I didn't really want to get divorced.
Then why did you ask your lawyer
to talk to my client about your divorce settlement?
In 2006, CNN interviewed an elderly couple.
The husband was 102 years old and his wife was 101.
Their marriage was already 78 years old.
Can you please answer my question?
Why did you want to reach a divorce settlement with my client?
A marriage expert published a book called 'Rules for a Happy Marriage'.
He recommended this book to the couple who had the longest marriage record.
In the letter that the couple wrote to the expert, they said
'Even though it may be the happiest marriage in the world'
'throughout their lives, they'd thought about getting divorced 200 times'
'and felt like strangling each other 50 times.'
Even though my client might have wanted get divorced once
does that really mean anything?
Defendant, when did you find out that my client won the lotto?
Does that have anything to do with my divorce case?
Absolutely.
You wanted to get divorced because you had an affair
but you didn't qualify to submit a divorce application.
Because the law forbids the husband to apply for divorce
within one year after his wife has given birth.
So you hid from your wife and lost contact with her altogether.
Then you gave full authority to your lawyer to handle your divorce.
When your wife began to hesitate
you treated her with emotional abuse.
You didn't answer her calls or reply to her messages.
You remained separated from her until she applied to get divorced.
But on the day that you received the court summons
your wife bought a lotto ticket.
She also won the first prize on that same night.
Then you suddenly changed your mind
and said you're still in love with your wife.
Tell me.
Are you actually in love with your wife or with the prize money?
Stop this nonsense.
Please answer my question.
Were you aware that your wife won the lotto?
- When did you find out? - I don't know.
- What don't you know? - What's it got to do with this?
When you said you don't know
what did you mean by that?
Did you mean you don't know that your wife bought the lotto ticket?
On the night that she won
your lawyer called my client's lawyer, Luo Li
and said he needed to talk to my client urgently.
Then you suddenly took the phone from him.
Do you still remember what you said?
I was worried when she didn't answer my calls
so I called Luo Li.
I was worried about her, that's all.
You told Attorney Luo that Attorney Chi has a great memory.
You said he saw a note with some lotto numbers written on it
and that my client told him that her child had picked those numbers.
She was going to buy a lotto ticket.
On the same night
Attorney Chi found out that those numbers were the winning numbers.
That's why you asked Attorney Luo if my client had bought the ticket.
You also said if she did, then she would have won the first prize.
I have one more question for the defendant.
Did you pursue Shi Jiang because she's a wealthy woman?
Are you saying that I live off women?
Wu, what are you trying to do?
I know what's on your mind.
You just want to please Luo Li, right?
Luo Li, don't fall into his trap.
Sitting next to you is a foul hypocrite.
He's nothing compared to Chi Hai Dong.
Chi Hai Dong watches over you through his telescope every day.
He even calls out your name in his dreams.
But what about him?
He doesn't deserve your love, you know that?
Your honor, since the defendant has insulted a lawyer offensively
he's already gone beyond his area of defense.
Defendant, please be seated.
Please control your emotions and respect the court's solemnity.
Since my client's been in extreme pain over the past few days
he didn't know what had happened.
He also never thought that this ten million would have anything to do with his future.
On the night when she won the lotto
I suggested that my client take that opportunity
to go and see his wife
so that he could congratulate her and tell her how he truly felt.
But then he stopped at the door
and said he didn't want to go.
He was worried that you'd think he was after your winning lotto ticket.
Mei Yu, after all the years that you've been with Cao Qian Kuen
do you really think
that your years of love and happiness
aren't worth more than that lotto ticket?
Since the plaintiff's lawyer keeps doubting
my client's motive for refusing to get divorced, fine.
I can ask my client to sign an agreement
that all assets gained during their marriage
including that winning lotto ticket will belong to the female party.
- I can ask him right now. - I will.
Mei Yu.
Cao's already agreed that all assets gained during your marriage will belong to you.
Should your relationship ever become damaged as a result of his actions
then he'll give up everything.
So are you still worried about that lotto ticket now?
Plaintiff.
If the defendant's willing to sign such an agreement with you
then would you consider giving him a chance
and agree to such a settlement?
If you agree to accept the settlement
then the plaintiff won't be able to apply for divorce again for six months.
So you'll have to wait six months if you want to get divorced again.
Master Wu, what do you think I should do?
If he really still loves you
even if you get divorced
that won't stop him from loving you.
Hai Dong, can I say something?
You've already said too much.
Marriage is not just about love, but also obligations.
When you're married
if he borrows money, then it's likely that it'll become your shared liability.
So I'd recommend that you get divorced now.
That way you can divide up your assets cleanly.
Once you become financially independent
you can still be together if you still love each other.
You can even get remarried.
But if you don't get divorced
and if he's really after something else
then you'll probably lose both your husband and your money.
That's just my personal opinion.
Don't get too emotional.
Just tell her how you really feel.
Your honor, can I say something?
Approved.
First, I'd like to apologize for my irrational behavior earlier.
People often say
that marriage is the death of love.
But my marriage with Mei Yu has never made me feel that way.
We met back at university.
Back then she was one of the most popular girls in our university.
She was every guy's dream lover
including mine.
Sometimes
life can be just like a magic show
and it brought the two of us together.
I knew that
many people said I wasn't that talented
and didn't deserve her.
But I still believed
that I'd hold her hand until we reached the end.
That's really what I thought back then.
I remember...
the first time I held her hand
and our first hug.
The first time Mei Yu looked into my eyes...
I thought I was the happiest man in the world.
I never thought that she'd want to marry me.
But I really did marry her.
It never crossed my mind
that the day would come for us to sit here
at our own divorce.
If I'd known that this would happen
then I would have wished we'd never met each other.
At least I wouldn't be the one hurting her right now.
This morning...
actually it was last night
I lay in bed
and wished there would be an earthquake
a volcano eruption, or even the end of the world.
Then I wouldn't have to stand here and put up with this torture.
As I kept thinking, the sky began to lighten.
There weren't any disasters.
The sky was at its bluest
and the sun shone brighter than ever.
It shone upon my heart so I had nowhere to hide.
Hai Dong told me to be strong.
Sure.
I'll be strong.
Mei Yu.
I remember telling you
that I came from a small town.
So I wasn't as good as other people
and couldn't afford to satisfy every one of your wishes.
But I knew that my biggest advantage
was that I was taller than everyone else.
I said I'd hold up the sky if it ever collapsed on you.
I said I'd protect you and wouldn't let you get hurt.
But I've failed to do so.
