[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 9
Can you not stare at your soccer game all day long?
If I don't stare at the TV then who should I stare at?
You?
Who else?
I'm too old to stare at anyone now.
Then what if you were younger?
Darling, where have you been?
Why didn't you pick up?
I went out for dinner.
I almost starved to death at home.
- So have you eaten yet? - Downstairs, at Xiao Qin's place.
Who's Xiao Qin?
- Qin Shu Chuen. - Her name's Qin Shu Chuen.
It's not Xiao Qin.
She's old enough to be a grandma.
- How disgusting. - I don't care how old she is.
In my eyes, she'll always be Xiao Qin.
Dad, did you go to Auntie Qin's place for dinner tonight?
No, where's your mom?
She's gone out to get something.
So what did you have for dinner?
Braised prawns.
Braised prawns?
- Where? - At home.
Yeah, right.
I'd believe you if you'd said instant noodle.
How would you know how to cook braised prawns?
Of course I don't know how to cook them.
But Auntie Qin does.
You're finally saying the truth.
I thought you said you didn't go to her place for dinner.
I didn't, she came to our place instead.
She said she can teach me to cook it.
Listen, I can cook it for you when you come back.
No, thank you.
If you tell Mom that Auntie Qin taught you to cook braised prawns
then she'll probably cook you alive.
Speak of the devil. Mom's back.
She's going home tomorrow so don't cause any trouble.
Don't let her know that you can cook and don't show off your braised prawns, okay?
That's all, bye.
Are you looking for Attorney Chi? He lives over there.
- What are you doing? - I'm here to see you.
Me?
You can go to my office tomorrow.
Stop pretending.
You know why I'm here.
What are you trying to do?
What? You want to call the police?
What are you doing?
What?
Sit down!
I know why you're still single.
Because you're a despicable and shameless woman.
What do you want?
You can come to me if you want anything.
Why did you set my wife up?
Which wife?
Since I'm here, I'm not scared of anything.
You can record anything.
You lawyers love evidence, right? I'll give you evidence.
If you ever dare ruin my family then I'll be after you for the rest of my life.
You can try to put me in jail if you want to.
But I'll come after you every day when I get out.
So you better get rid of me. Otherwise, you'll be the one who will be dead.
Mr. Zheng.
- What's the point of killing me? - Sit down!
I'm just a lawyer.
If you kill me Ms. Xia will still find another lawyer to represent her.
Also, just think about the consequences.
You've got a daughter who's studying in the UK, right?
The child you had with Ms. Wu is still a small baby.
This is just a divorce case.
So, it's just a matter of getting a bigger or smaller share.
A share of whose money? Ms. Xia's.
She's the mother of your daughter.
Doesn't that mean her money is the same as your daughter's money?
This is just a simple divorce case.
But if you kill me, it'll become a murder case.
If you go to jail for killing me, then your children will lose their father.
Worse still will be
the fact that their father's a murderer.
How shameful would that be?
You won't be just ruining your own life
but your children's lives as well.
Attorney Luo, please help me.
I beg you, please help me...
I only did this because I didn't have a choice.
If I had a choice, I'd never have done this.
Please help me.
Attorney Luo, I beg you.
Auntie, let me help you.
It's okay, I'm fine.
- Let me help you. - No, thank you.
Just give it to me, Auntie. I insist.
Come on.
- Why did you buy so much? - I'm going home tomorrow.
So I wanted to buy something for my neighbors.
I've got it.
But I...
But I'll be back after a few days.
Welcome.
Okay, Chi, thank you. I'll take it from here.
Auntie, it's just a few steps away.
Let me help you.
Please, promise me.
- Who's crying? - It's coming from your house.
Our house?
Stop crying or I'll call the police.
I really didn't have a choice.
What's going on here?
- Leave him alone, Mom. - Mom!
- Please make her say yes... - Who would propose like this?
Chi Hai Dong, take your guy out of my house right now.
- What are you doing here? - What about you?
- What did you do to him? - What did I do to him?
Thank goodness he didn't do anything to me.
- What did you do to her? - I...
Let's talk at my place.
Let's go.
Li Li, so the guy who was proposing to you is Chi Hai Dong's colleague?
- He's crazy. - Then stay away from him.
It's a very nice champagne.
Let's have some soup first.
It's so true that what goes around comes around.
Zheng Tian Ya's so despicable.
Just because he wanted to get a share of my money
he actually found a fake husband for that woman.
But she was also silly enough to agree to it.
How ridiculous is that.
Even though Attorney Luo might seem very passive
she's actually very good.
Remember when you yelled at her in court last time?
She didn't say anything at all.
She just kept doing her job quietly
and found evidence to help you turn the situation around.
Also, remember the story that she wrote for you?
It was so touching.
Yes, you're right.
I'm also very touched.
In contrast, look at the trick
that Zheng Tian Ya's lawyer has come up with for him.
They came and installed a camera in our house.
What a cheap trick that is.
Anyway...
they can install as many cameras as they want.
We don't have to worry, because we're truly in love.
Right?
Cheers.
Who would come at such a time?
Go and have a look.
It's you?
I really underestimated Luo Li.
She's such a hard nut to crack.
What did you try to do?
As soon as I entered the house
I looked straight into her eyes with my sharp eyes.
I kept staring at her like this.
- Do I look tough? - Very tough.
Then I said
'If you don't give up
then I'll kill you.'
But she didn't get scared at all.
She said...
She convinced me to treasure my life
and not to do anything illegal.
If you were doing this
then what were you doing on your knees?
I thought I had to change my strategy.
It's certainly a big contrast.
Men should be flexible, right?
You should try talking to her mom.
Her mom?
- Try talking to her mom. - Why should I...
You mean... I should beg her mom instead?
But I was already begging her.
Didn't you see her mom's long face?
She didn't seem very friendly.
The interesting thing is
like mother like daughter.
Her mom might seem very smart, but she's actually quite stupid.
- She used to be an actress. - An actress?
- Yeah. - She didn't play a judge, did she?
If she did, then there's no point in me trying to beg her.
Of course not.
She probably just played a housewife.
- Go talk to her mom. - Are you sure?
Ms. Xia.
I didn't come here to beg you.
The reason why I've come to talk to you is to make you understand.
I'm doing it for your sake.
To be honest, your lawyer used a dirty trick to get my written guarantee.
I was simply too naive, and trusted people too easily.
After Zheng Tian Ya found out that you tricked me
he got very mad at you, not me.
You're the one who set him up.
I set him up?
You're talking about yourself, right?
You're the expert at setting people up.
You're the sliest woman of all.
You've got trick after trick up your sleeve.
Tell me how many men you've set up.
Only idiots like Zheng Tian Ya would fall for your trap.
Legally speaking, it's called fraud, get it?
Fraud?
What good does it do me? What does Zheng Tian Ya have?
You're the one who has the house, the car, and the money.
Don't you know what good it does you?
You stole my man.
Now that he's gone broke
you persuaded him to come and get a share of my money.
- That's called fraud. - Your money?
What do you mean your money?
It was Zheng Tian Ya who earned the money that you have now.
True, we both worked hard to earn this money.
Did you ever earn a cent of it?
So, you finally admit that it was earned by both of you?
Excuse me for interrupting, Ms. Wu.
In regards to dividing up their wealth
it's their business.
We should let the court decide.
There's no point in arguing over it.
Is there anything else, Ms. Wu?
Don't call me Ms. Wu.
Just call me Wu Yi.
I know who you are.
You're Gu Wei, right?
To be honest, you should thank me.
Don't you think so?
You should thank me as well.
Thank you so much.
You ruined my family
and seduced my husband.
Of course I should thank you, right?
Zheng Tian Ya didn't love you anymore.
Actually, if it weren't for me
he probably wouldn't have left you.
But, you would also never know the feeling of being loved.
Gu Wei.
Do you agree with me?
Ending a loveless marriage isn't the beginning of a tragedy
but the start of happiness.
If you had never ended with Zheng Tian Ya
how would you have started with Gu Wei?
That's absolutely ridiculous.
You're crazy.
I can let you take my man away from me.
But now you want to take away my hard-earned money.
Do you really expect me to thank you?
So, if I don't thank you for it
would I be in the wrong?
That's why people say it's your own bad luck if you lose your horse.
You're right, the horse was lost.
It wasn't stolen.
Would you rather get back together with Zheng Tian Ya
than spend the rest of your life with Gu Wei?
If you really miss Zheng Tian Ya
I can give him back to you.
Get out.
- Sister Xia. - I'm not your sister, you bitch.
Calm down. I've suggested the best offer.
If we reach a settlement, then you can marry Mr. Gu
while Zheng Tian Ya and I can live together legitimately.
Don't you think that's the best of both worlds?
If you really want to take Zheng Tian Ya back
as long as he agrees with it, then I'm also fine with it.
Stop being so pretentious and arrogant in my house. as long as he agrees with it, then I'm also fine with it.
Stop being so pretentious and arrogant in my house.
Let me tell you, I'm definitely going ahead with this case.
There's no turning back. Let me tell you, I'm definitely going ahead with this case.
There's no turning back.
I must show you the meaning of what goes around comes around.
Let me tell you it's payback time.
I'll never let you two live happily ever after.
I definitely won't let you off the hook.
Get out!
You run a huge business
while I have nothing to lose.
If anything happens to Zheng Tian Ya
then I'll be coming to your restaurant every single day.
I've got a whole village of people backing me up.
Don't try to bluff me. I've got a whole village of people backing me up.
Don't try to bluff me.
Brother-in-law, try to convince her.
Get out!
Why must you make them get a divorce when they're willing to compromise?
How can you be so immoral?
You missed.
- Mom, it's for their own good. - For their own good?
Then tell me.
He was begging you on his knees.
What good did you do him?
Mom, if it weren't for me, goodness knows what he and his lawyer
would have done to his poor wife.
But you don't understand.
They've been married for years. They even have a child together.
Is he really as bad as you think he is?
A lot of married men have children
but they still end up murdering their wives.
Then they go to jail for it.
If they had chosen to get divorced
how would they end up being murderers?
So, it's for their own good.
You lawyers are willing to do anything to make a buck.
You should be counseling them rather than encouraging them to get divorced.
Why must you stir things up?
Mom, don't make us sound so nasty.
Of course we want to earn money.
But you shouldn't insult my professionalism.
We're not trying to stir things up.
I'm just fighting for my client's rights.
I don't want to talk to you.
I'll talk to Chi Hai Dong. I don't want to talk to you.
I'll talk to Chi Hai Dong.
Why would you do that?
He's a lawyer, too.
You don't know anything about the law.
But I know what relationships mean.
They're getting divorced, right?
So the man had an affair, but what about the woman?
She also has another man.
Can't they just go their separate ways, and let it go? She also has another man.
Can't they just go their separate ways, and let it go?
I must talk it out with Chi Hai Dong
and work out a settlement for them to sign. I must talk it out with Chi Hai Dong
and work out a settlement for them to sign.
Why go to court?
Settlement? Mom.
Then I won't earn a cent at all.
I still need to pay my rent.
Do you want to see me sleeping on the street?
Listen, Li Li, you can't earn money this way.
Don't you ever get people divorced again.
Refund my plane ticket. I'm staying here.
- Discounted tickets can't be refunded. - Then you can pay for it.
- Mom... - Leave me alone.
- Listen, stay out of my business. - Don't...
Chi Hai Dong is his lawyer. He's not on my side. - Listen, stay out of my business. - Don't...
Chi Hai Dong is his lawyer. He's not on my side.
- What if he records what you say? - Who cares? I don't have anything to hide.
I don't care if he records our conversation.
- Auntie, you wanted to see me? - Of course not.
Mom and I were just having a casual chat.
Do you want to come in?
Look after my mom for me.
Zheng, come here.
Hello, Mom.
Who did you call 'Mom?'
You, you're Attorney Luo's mom, right?
Hello, Mama Luo.
My surname's not Luo.
- I have my own surname. - What's that?
It's Li.
Hello, Mama Li.
Have a seat, Auntie.
I'll get you some water.
I wonder if divorce lawyers like yourselves
are willing to do anything to make a buck.
You make mountains out of molehills and fuss over the pettiest things.
Otherwise, people won't know how good you are, right? You make mountains out of molehills and fuss over the pettiest things.
Otherwise, people won't know how good you are, right?
Auntie, it's our job. We don't have a choice.
Chi, I'm not trying to put you down.
But that trick that you came up with for Mr. Zheng was way too low.
How could you install a camera in his wife's house?
It wasn't a low trick.
It was a great idea.
Don't you realize how brilliant his idea was? It was a great idea.
Don't you realize how brilliant his idea was?
She never would have admitted to the affair if we didn't have proof.
So what if you installed a camera? They got your written guarantee.
Do you really think you're that smart?
Auntie's right.
Zheng, tell us your request.
Go on.
Well...
Well, Mama Li.
Actually, both Attorney Chi and I have always wanted to reach a settlement.
But my ex-wife...
I mean Xia Fang Cao
insisted on going to court, because your daughter kept encouraging her.
But you were the one who cheated on her first.
Auntie's right.
That's right.
What you said was absolutely right.
It's better to have an enemy than a friend... What you said was absolutely right.
It's better to have an enemy than a friend...
No, I mean it's better to have a friend than an enemy.
Both Attorney Chi and I sincerely wish to compromise.
But your daughter just wouldn't step down.
But it's not up to her to decide.
If you and your ex-wife agree to reach a settlement
then that's all that counts.
Auntie's right.
But there's something that I don't understand.
Why did you have to get lawyers to settle your divorce?
- But... - Auntie's right. Why did you have to get lawyers to settle your divorce?
- But... - Auntie's right.
Do you have too much money or something?
Considering your many years of marriage
does it really matter who gets more and who gets less?
You're both the parents of your child. does it really matter who gets more and who gets less?
You're both the parents of your child.
Once you two die, it'll all become your child's money.
Why would you want to give it to your lawyers?
Yes, Auntie's right.
Listen. You're just wasting money to hire two people to help you fight.
Don't you think that's stupid?
Auntie's right.
Your phone.
- It's Xia Fang Cao. - Take it.
Stay calm. Record it.
But, he's just talking to his wife.
- Auntie, they're opposing parties now. - Yeah.
Opposing parties?
Why must you turn them into opposing parties?
So, should I record it or not?
- Just answer it. - Auntie's right. Put it on speaker phone.
Hello?
Zheng Tian Ya, listen up.
From now on there's no more room for compromises.
You can talk to my lawyer if you want to.
You want a settlement?
In your dreams!
Your woman just came to my house.
She was very lucky today.
If she comes again, I'll beat her to death.
Don't be so mad.
It's not good for you.
How dare they.
If you really end up winning the case
what if Wu Yi comes and causes trouble at our restaurants?
We have laws in this country.
I'm not scared of her.
How can that woman be so arrogant?
- Hello? - Yi Yi, did you really go?
Of course. I even recorded our conversation.
You know what? She admitted that she'd earned the money with you.
Why did you do that? I thought we said we'd try to negotiate.
We don't want to fight.
We should solve it peacefully.
Who'll negotiate with you if you don't have secret weapon?
Who do you think you are?
She's so smart.
She even had it recorded.
How can you say she's smart?
She secretly recorded it, right? How can you say she's smart?
She secretly recorded it, right?
That's stupid.
That's a contradiction.
Secret weapon? That's a contradiction.
Secret weapon?
Who doesn't have secret weapon?
But it doesn't mean you'll win.
I'm sure you'll be the first one to lose.
Your child will be next.
I think...
I think that girl... Wu...
- Wu Yi. - Wu Yi, she's especially stupid.
No matter what Xia Fang Cao's child is already studying abroad.
She's all grown up, so it doesn't matter whether she has a father or not.
As for her, she's still pushing her baby in a pram.
If you run into another problem...
- Why would I... - Don't be so certain.
Life can be unpredictable.
Then she'll have to raise your child all by herself.
I can't believe this.
Strictly speaking
she must apologize first.
- You must do it the soft way, right? - Yeah.
It's all about getting your priorities straight.
Your first priority should be to settle everything with your ex-wife. It's all about getting your priorities straight.
Your first priority should be to settle everything with your ex-wife.
But if you charge into her house, and record your conversation in secret
why would she negotiate with you?
She'd kill you.
Why don't I have a word with Wu Yi?
Auntie, you see.
Since Wu Yi lives with him
let's just let him teach her to do the right thing.
I think you should talk to Xia Fang Cao instead.
So who's the person who's causing all the fuss now?
Xia Fang Cao actually did consider negotiating with us before.
However...
You mean Luo Li?
You ask him.
Who else?
Auntie.
I'm a divorce lawyer.
She's also a divorce lawyer.
She's always maintained a strong stance.
So she'd encourage her client to do the same.
Xia Fang Cao's already a bad-tempered person.
You know what?
You heard how she was yelling on the phone.
I'm sure it was Luo Li who told her to do that.
Chi, if you keep saying that about Luo Li
I'm going to get mad.
Auntie... I'm going to get mad.
Auntie...
Luo Li's very young and naive.
If she had just five percent of your understanding
this would have been resolved already.
I haven't known you for long but I already know a lot about you.
You possess a clear mind as well as a wealth of emotions.
You're also righteous and understanding. You possess a clear mind as well as a wealth of emotions.
You're also righteous and understanding.
You're a true fighter.
But she's a woman.
Auntie.
The reason why you are who you are today is because of your experience, right?
I'm not as complicated as you make it sound.
To tell you the truth, Chi
not everything needs to be resolved inside a court.
- Sometimes all we need is... - Experience.
That's right. I've done it all before.
Auntie, that's exactly what I mean. That's right. I've done it all before.
Auntie, that's exactly what I mean.
You've done it all before.
If Luo Li can take the perspective of an experienced person
and talk to Xia Fang Cao as an experienced person If Luo Li can take the perspective of an experienced person
and talk to Xia Fang Cao as an experienced person
then this case will be resolved without any problems.
Auntie, why don't you teach Luo Li what to say?
Why should I teach her?
I'll talk to her myself.
I'll go and talk to Xia Fang Cao.
Auntie, if you're willing to talk to her
then there'll be no war, and no secret weapon.
Peace on earth.
- Give me her address. - Quick...
- I'll send it to you. - No, don't do that.
- Take a pen and paper. - I'll get it.
Write it down for me.
Can't I just send a text?
Shut up. Hurry up.
Mom, I bought the ticket on the internet.
It's a discounted ticket
so I can't refund it.
- But.. - Out of the way.
But wouldn't that be wasting money?
I'm trying to save someone's marriage.
Who cares about a discounted plane ticket?
Get my handbag, quick.
After all, I'm just cleaning up your mess.
- Give it to me. - Mom...
Mom, where are you going?
Don't ask.
- Get out of my way. - No.
- Get out of my way. - Mom.
That won't work. - Get out of my way. - Mom.
That won't work.
Get out of my way.
Mom...
Who is it?
Who are you?
- You must be Xiao Xia. - Yes, I am.
I'm Luo Li's mother.
I'm Li Chuen Hua.
Auntie, please come in.
Let me take off my shoes.
- Your house is very clean. - No, it's fine...
- Come on, Auntie... - Are you sure it's okay?
Auntie, this way please.
Have a seat, Auntie.
- Okay. - Have some fruit.
No, thank you...
- Have some tea. - Thank you, you're so kind.
It's a fresh brew.
- Here you go, Auntie. - Thank you, have a seat.
Auntie, did Luo Li ask you to come here?
Does she want something?
I feel so bad about what I said to her before.
Morning, what's up? I'm going to work.
What did you say to my mom last night?
She went out early this morning, but she wouldn't tell me where she was going.
She's your mom, not mine.
- How would I know where she went? - Stop pretending. She's your mom, not mine.
- How would I know where she went? - Stop pretending.
Tell me what you said to her.
You didn't persuade her to talk to Xia Fang Cao, did you?
I didn't say anything to her.
Instead, she taught me and my client a very important lesson. I didn't say anything to her.
Instead, she taught me and my client a very important lesson.
What she said made perfect sense.
It was about war... no... It was about peace, not war. What she said made perfect sense.
It was about war... no... It was about peace, not war.
It really inspired me. I must go now.
Who was the one who put a camera in someone else's home?
I'm not done yet.
Chi Hai Dong.
Let me warn you.
Don't try to drag my mom into our work.
What's the big deal with installing a camera?
You want to see the new evidence that I have?
Here you go.
[Pharmacy]
How dare you stalk me?
If you hadn't used me as a scapegoat for your pregnancy test
I wouldn't have stalked you.
Don't try to accuse me.
I only went to the pharmacy to get some flu tablets.
I'm a lawyer.
It's not hard for me to get a copy of the receipt from the pharmacy.
You're a sick creep.
I'm not sick. You take care.
I did you a favor.
If you keep being so ungrateful I did you a favor.
If you keep being so ungrateful
then I'll put this photo as well as the pharmacy's receipt
into an envelope, and give it to your mom.
Chi. We're neighbors. We shouldn't be so nasty to one another.
This won't work on me at all.
If you dare tell my mom, then I'll tear you into little pieces.
I know my daughter's your lawyer.
As her mother, I'm definitely on your side.
If you want to settle your case in court then you must make it a glorious win.
In that case, I'll be absolutely ruthless.
Auntie, do you know what they did behind my back?
- I... - I know, I know.
Auntie.
Did they go to your place and threaten you?
No.
How despicable of them.
That bitch also came to my place last night.
At first, I thought she'd come to beg me.
If she had really begged me then I would have let them off the hook.
But she threatened me instead. If she had really begged me then I would have let them off the hook.
But she threatened me instead.
She said she's not scared of me.
I'm not a timid person. I'm not scared of her either.
My daughter's already studying in the UK.
I've got nothing to lose. My daughter's already studying in the UK.
I've got nothing to lose.
- I... - The reason I've come today
is for the sake of your daughter.
Zheng Tian Ya is the father of your daughter.
As the old saying goes
we should forgive and forget.
I can forgive anyone. Except for Zheng Tian Ya.
You don't have to forgive anyone except for Zheng Tian Ya.
Let me explain it to you.
If you really ruin his life...
But he's the one who brought it upon himself. If you really ruin his life...
But he's the one who brought it upon himself.
Hang on, Xiao Xia.
Listen, calm down...
Listen to me, okay?
Although I'm not a lawyer
I still know a little about the law.
If you sue him and put him in jail
and if Wu Yi also leaves him
then after a few years
when he gets released he'll just be an aimless old man.
He'll be unemployed, broke, and probably very sick.
That has nothing to do with me.
He deserves it.
It's true that he doesn't have anything to do with you.
But does he have something to do with your daughter?
She can't exactly say
'Since my dad's been in jail
or because he treated me poorly
he's no longer my dad
and I'm not obliged to look after him now.'
Children have a legal responsibility to look after their parents.
Listen to my advice
and try to compromise with him.
Let him get on with his own life.
He's got a family and a son, right?
Just let his son look after him.
But if you ruin his life now
he'll be coming after your daughter if he's got no one else to turn to.
Think hard about what I said.
But this is so unfair.
Then let's make it a fair deal. But this is so unfair.
Then let's make it a fair deal.
You can set forth your terms for the settlement.
If he agrees, then it's a deal.
If he doesn't, then just forget it.
What do you think?
Okay.
Then I'll set forth my terms.
I'll make Wu Yi kneel before me.
She must openly apologize to me. I'll make Wu Yi kneel before me.
She must openly apologize to me.
I'll also have it recorded
so she'll be embarrassed for the rest of her life.
That's the only request that Xia Fang Cao has made.
Attorney Chi, you certainly have a great view here.
Auntie, you're welcome to come visit any time.
Sure, I will.
Why does it have to be Wu Yi?
She's got nothing to do with this, right?
I can kneel before her for three days straight if she wants.
She's been married to you for years, so she knows you too well.
She knows you'd even be willing to crawl through pig shit.
What's the big deal?
It's okay, honey. I'm willing to do that for our family. What's the big deal?
It's okay, honey. I'm willing to do that for our family.
But, Xia Fang Cao must sign the settlement first.
She must also promise to leave us alone and give us half of her money.
She just wants to make fun of me.
I don't mind, as long as she pays.
Have you called Attorney Luo yet?
Yes, she said she'll be here soon.
- Have you told her about this? - Yes.
She sounded even more eager than we are.
Looks like you've already come to a conclusion?
It was Auntie's idea.
We just followed her advice.
Attorney Chi, I thought you would know the law better than she does.
What do you mean by that?
Mom, come over here.
Attorney Chi, have a seat.
Auntie, it's just a chair. It doesn't matter who sits in it.
Then I'll sit down. Auntie, it's just a chair. It doesn't matter who sits in it.
Then I'll sit down.
You want Xia Fang Cao to sign the settlement, right?
What if Wu Yi doesn't kneel before her
after she signs it and pays them the money?
Sue her?
Would the court make Wu Yi kneel before her?
Based on which law?
I said I'm willing to do it.
How about I apologize to her first, then she can pay us?
Look how generous she is. How about I apologize to her first, then she can pay us?
Look how generous she is.
Now you can see why I couldn't stand Xia Fang Cao, right?
You certainly make a great match.
They're birds of a feather.
Mom, stay out of this. They're birds of a feather.
Mom, stay out of this.
So you told Wu Yi
that Xia Fang Cao will give them her house and the money if she kneels before her.
What if Xiao Fang Cao doesn't keep her promise? Are you going to pay her then?
But that's what she said.
Why would we need the law if people could just make verbal promises?
People always change their minds.
No, it's not like that.
Since we're all here today
let's make this official.
Why don't we record it with a video recorder?
Xia Fang Cao can go first.
She can say if Wu Yi's willing to kneel before her
then she'll give you her house and the money.
Then we can sign the settlement.
Once it's signed then you must kneel before her.
Otherwise, I'll make you get on your knees.
- I will. - Mom, come here.
What you said has no legal power at all.
What makes you think you can make her get on her knees?
But if she's already given them her house and the money
of course she should do it.
Back in the olden days
all concubines had to kneel before the queen.
Which dynasty was that in?
Monogamy took effect in 1949.
- I'm just trying to reason with you. - Fine, calm down.
Attorney Chi.
Can such a request be included in the settlement?
Is it legally acceptable?
It can't be included in the settlement
as there's no law to base it on.
Then why did you ask me to come here? as there's no law to base it on.
Then why did you ask me to come here?
To discuss how to sign the settlement.
As for their verbal contract
we should let them settle it between themselves.
I've already mentioned the possible risks to Xia Fang Cao.
If you guys don't keep your promise then there's nothing she can do about it.
So, she's decided to not sign the settlement for now.
