[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 18
Cao Qian Kuen?
How can he compare to Cao Qian Kuen?
No, look at the man who just walked in.
Isn't that Cao Qian Kuen?
Cao Qian Kuen.
- Do you want to die? - Look, he heard.
I'm going to give Tang Mei Yu a call.
Are you crazy?
They were just at the movies. How can you prove something is going on?
Don't tell me that he's doing a good deed by taking a girl to the movies.
Well, I took you to the movies. Didn't I do something good?
We're different.
How are we different?
We're just different.
Master Chi, I actually have a question to ask you.
I'll tell you what I know.
Does being a vegetarian really stop all your thoughts about that?
You are at least able to keep them to yourself.
What's up with you and your neighbor?
There's nothing going on. She's just a neighbor.
Did I say something wrong when I was in Mei Yu's room?
No.
You have to be more careful.
Your situation is different now.
You're a father now. Understand?
You also be careful with Luo Li.
I don't think you know her well.
Is she a liar?
She's taken.
It's not that I'm after her.
Your wife has introduced a boyfriend to her.
It's that wedding host.
You don't believe me? She has a family.
Luo Li has a family?
Over there.
A family with a guy? Who is it?
He's in the same field as we are. He's not worse off than you.
Another lawyer? Who is it?
All right, I'll tell you next time.
- Who is it? - I'll tell you next time.
Don't be so curious. Leave. Hurry up and leave.
What should I do with my curiosity?
You're so annoying. Leave.
Hello.
Where are you?
I'm in the hospital.
She just gave birth.
Just gave birth?
Are they both safe?
The baby is very cute, isn't he?
How much does he weigh?
He's doing well, don't worry.
Then kiss the baby for me.
You do your thing.
Hey, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Giving birth is the harder task.
Spend more time with her.
Go do your thing.
We'll talk again once this busy period is over.
[Luo Mei Yuan, bitch! Homewrecker!]
Miao Jin Xiu.
Attorney Luo, My car is covered with words like 'bitch', 'slut', and 'shameless'.
There's no way I can drive my car. I'm going to sue her.
I have to sue her!
Room key.
That's right. It's too big.
I couldn't fit it in my pocket.
What a coincidence.
- You're going out? - Did you want something from me?
I left my room card in Tang Mei Yu's room.
Give me the one that I left with you.
Regretting it already?
I'll return it to you.
Remember to write an IOU.
Wait for a minute.
What is it?
Qian Kuen, I left my room key in your wife's room.
Can't you think of another solution? I'm not at the hospital now.
Mei Yu only let me out because I told her you're looking for me.
- You better not let her find out. - What?
What if your wife is looking for you and calls me? What do I tell her?
She won't call you. If she does, just say...
Just say I left.
Okay, I'm out of battery. Just come up with a lie for me.
Your wife just bore you a son. Where are you going now?
Aren't you worried that something might happen?
I'm your son's godfather, all right?
You have to be responsible.
You can't be so...
Cao Qian Kuen, I'm your son's godmother.
I have to give you a friendly reminder.
You're a father now. Control yourself.
These two does have something going on.
Hey, did you hear what godfather and godmother said?
What kind of person is he?
- Where are you going? - On a date.
Tang Mei Yu just gave birth.
You're not visiting Tang Mei Yu? You're going on a date instead?
Tang Mei Yu told me there are too many visitors today.
She told me to visit tomorrow. What?
Oh. Is this your ex or current one?
It's a client. Look how curious you are.
Stop lying. Today is Sunday.
We're meeting on Sunday. Can't I be a hard worker?
- I'll go with you. - Are you that bored?
I heard gossip about you recently.
Gossip about me?
Tell me what you heard.
I don't like passing on gossip.
Cao Qian Kuen told you, right?
Don't worry about who told me.
I believe you. Come home early.
I've downloaded from the internet evidence of her cursing me.
I've printed it all out.
This time, not only did she publicize my phone number on the internet
she even publicized my home and office addresses.
There are also her curses.
I can't bear to read on.
She cursed me for being shameless.
She said I seduced her husband.
Was I the one pestering her husband? Was he the one not willing to leave me?
She keeps pestering her husband to get remarried.
He doesn't want to, so she curses me.
Is there a need to curse me?
I want to ask you to warn her in a public statement.
Ms. Luo, whatever it is that we do, we need you to give us your authority.
I'll sign your agency agreement.
Okay then. This is our agency contract.
- Have a look. - Okay.
You can have a look at the material I gave you.
I'm definitely going to sue her.
Give me a draft of the statement first.
I'll take the contract with me so my boyfriend can have a look first.
After all, I'm suing his ex-wife.
This is to respect him.
Okay, no problem.
Are you kidding me?
Chi Hai Dong, where are you?
- Home. - Come to my place.
There's an emergency.
Okay.
What is it?
Quick.
My computer crashed. I was half way through writing a document.
Don't tell me it's gone now.
You scared me.
What were you working on?
A warning to the man's ex-wife.
Is it for you?
Nonsense. Don't curse me like that.
Then why are you writing a warning to the ex-wife at night?
It's a public statement. I took on a case.
It's the one I mentioned last time.
Oh, right.
The mistress is suing the wife.
You don't have to be so bothered.
You can search on the internet for
Sun Yat Sen's statement to Yuan Shi Kai and then use that as a guide.
How can that be the same as a lawyer's public statement?
One is a country's matter, one is a family's matter.
You don't get it.
A country's matter, a family's matter, everything is related.
Sometimes, politics and marriage are interrelated.
It's not related to technique. What's most important is that you must
put yourself in your client's position, and fight for your client's rights.
In this particular case, you should have the same
emotional stance as your client, right?
You're acting so strange. What are you trying to say?
Look at how curious you look.
When did you become so nosy?
Look, I was trying to say
you're writing a public statement to the wife, on behalf of the mistress.
Why do you have such deep emotional empathy for the mistress?
What emotional empathy?
What language are you speaking?
You're the one who told me that a mistress is also human.
And that all humans have rights.
I only accepted this case because I got tricked by you.
Why has your attitude completely changed today?
I was only talking about work related things.
Nothing to do with human rights.
I'm trying to say that being a mistress is a tragic story.
Even if you're like Cao Cao
and only seize power but not the throne
it still won't end well for you.
This case of yours isn't going to be easy.
Yeah.
I didn't think being a mistress was good either.
But the problem is, who are women mistresses to?
They're mistresses to men.
Also, many women become mistresses without knowing.
They never knew the man had a wife in the first place.
Then you should've quickly backed off after finding out the truth.
But the key is you have to see what kind of person the man is.
If he told you he lives in a jail every day.
That his marriage is like a collapsing kingdom
and begs you not to leave him.
Are you willing to leave him in such miserable conditions?
You believe words like that?
You should've said, 'How do men have the nerve to tell such bold-faced lies?'
Hey, it worked. Good job.
A jack of all trades!
Okay, I need to work now.
- You're shooing me off now? - I'll thank you another day.
Bye.
Great.
Let's continue talking about our previous topic.
I said I'll treat you to a meal another day and thank you in person, all right?
Remember to close the door.
Two packs should be enough for now.
Right?
You've never been a mother before but appear to have lots of experience.
You even bought diapers for my baby.
I have to put in effort as a godmother.
I asked a lot of people.
They all told me that buying diapers was the most practical.
Look at how lucky you are, baby.
In your generation even going to the bathroom is luxurious.
They're the platinum series.
You bought platinum diapers for your godson?
Shouldn't you also buy a platinum necklace for me as a reward?
Here you go again.
It's best to earn your own money.
In this society, you should just count on yourself.
- What are you doing? - I'm going for a walk.
Can you get out of the bed?
Slowly.
Oh my gosh.
Luo Li, look at him.
He's so cute.
How can I be so lucky?
I never thought that life could be so fascinating and beautiful.
After giving birth to him, all of a sudden
I have this feeling of happiness that I've never felt before.
I can't explain it.
It's only now that I realize
a woman must get married, get pregnant, and give birth
in order for life to be complete.
The process of giving birth to a new life.
The happiness of having a complete family.
No matter how successful your career is you won't be able to experience this.
It's true that I can't experience it right now.
But I'm truly happy for you.
Right now, I only have one more thing
that I'm worried about. And that's you.
I'm worried about myself too.
I'm not saying you have to find a husband who's very successful in his career.
I just think you should find someone who can make you feel secure.
A man who can make you live life without worry.
Actually, I've always thought
wanting to marry a rich man isn't a shameful thought.
Why can't we live a better life?
That way I can struggle for fewer years
and enjoy life while I'm still young.
That's the right way of thinking.
But Wu Wen Hui taught me a huge lesson.
He made me realize that we really can't rely on other people.
Rather than marrying a rich man, I'd rather become rich myself.
It's only when women become independent, both emotionally and financially
that we can experience a true sense of security.
Please don't think like that, all right?
If you continue thinking like that, you really won't get married.
Can't I give myself some comfort?
Your Highness, not everyone is as lucky as you.
Honey.
Why did you get out of bed?
Luo Li, you're so annoying.
Now that you're here, my wife is out of bed.
Slowly.
Sit down.
You're the only one who can get your wife in bed.
What are you saying?
You're in a critical point in time now.
You have to take good care of yourself. You keep making me worry.
I know. I just got up for a few minutes.
Are your legs sore from standing for so long? I'll massage them for you.
Don't, or else your hands will get sore.
Stop showing off, you two.
- I need to ask you something. - What is it?
Let's go outside and talk.
- What's the matter? - What is it?
I need to borrow your husband for a bit.
I'll be right back.
Be quick.
Luo Li, use him carefully.
Don't worry, I won't damage him. Let's go.
Close the door.
What are you doing? So secretive.
Who was the girl at the movies?
A friend. My wife knows her too.
Oh, a friend.
Aren't you two a bit too close?
I didn't want to interfere with this
but you're getting too unreasonable.
Cao Qian Kuen what are you thinking?
You two are the only couple from our class.
Please grow old together, and don't have any accidents.
You're a father now. Be a good role model for your son.
All right?
- Give me your hand. - Why?
- Just give it to me. - Give him the room key for me.
You should know whose it is.
What should I know?
Shush!
I wish you happiness.
Crazy.
Hello, Da Hai.
Hai Dong, where are you? Let's meet up tonight.
Can't you go to my law firm tomorrow?
We must meet up today.
I'm on my way to your house now. I'm nearly there.
- What is it that's so urgent? - I'll pick you up.
Okay, that's it then.
Okay.
I'll wait for you.
I'll give you the contract and check when I'm at your law firm tomorrow.
But can you first send me the statement that you wrote?
Because I want to publicize the statement as soon as we sign the contract tomorrow.
Okay.
I'm out right now. I'll send it to you when I get home.
Have a look at it. If you're not happy with anything, we can discuss it.
- Okay, thank you. - Bye.
Hai Dong, you have to help me with this.
It's not that I don't want to help out
I'm honestly quite scared about this.
Your wife is still calling me from time to time.
There's nothing I can do either.
If you don't help me, who else can I go to?
I'm not helping you. This isn't a business matter. This is a family matter.
- Find someone else. - No, I won't.
You're my only friend and you're not helping me?
- Here, have a look. - I'm not looking.
- Have a look. - I'm not looking.
Look at the money.
You can't do that.
Come on, I've already signed it.
You have to stamp it at the law firm.
Sign it first, and then stamp it.
Come on.
It's all good now.
- I... - I'm leaving now.
Don't leave. You've done a good job.
I just have a few more words to say.
Two hours ago you had a few more words to say. I'm leaving.
No. It's really just a few more words.
This lawsuit involves my privacy.
I need to find a friend who knows me very well, to help me.
Right? You've been my legal adviser for all these years.
Have I ever gone to someone else?
- No - No, right?
Others have recommended many to me, but I never even had a look. It's true.
I've never thought about switching legal advisers. It's true.
Who knows. You switched your wife. One day you might switch me too.
You can switch your wife, but not your lawyer.
I'm serious.
Also, if you take this case...
Here, I'll give you the Chrysler 300.
You're not giving money anymore?
I'll still pay you lawyer fees but you can also take the car.
All right?
But there's one thing.
If you drive the car, I won't be paying the transportation costs.
Okay then.
- Okay? - Okay.
[Lawyer's Statement]
[Successfully sent]
Hello, Ms. Luo.
I've sent the statement to you. Can you take a look?
Have you looked at the power of attorney?
That's great. Then let's sign it tomorrow.
Okay. I'll be at the firm all day tomorrow.
I'll wait for your call.
Okay, bye.
Hello, Mom.
Luo Li, do you have any plans for tomorrow?
I have to see a client tomorrow.
How about at night?
What is it that you want?
What could I want?
Of course it's something to do with you.
Hurry up and pick a time.
Don't schedule anything in the evening.
Do you have time? Tell me quickly.
I really don't know.
My client didn't say what time she'll come in.
I'll just have to wait for her call all day.
Li Li, I'm telling you, the guy is very good this time.
He has a PhD. He graduated this year.
He's 33 years old, and he's definitely going to stay in Beijing after graduation.
Most importantly, his family background is also very good.
His father is an army general.
But of course he is retired now.
His mom is a doctor.
I've investigated very thoroughly for you this time.
How good am I? How good is your mom, Li Li?
Luo Li, are you listening?
Yes, I am.
I'm telling you.
If you miss such a good man it'll be hard to find another one, you know?
Hurry up and give me a time tomorrow.
Mom, I really have no time tomorrow. I have to see a client tomorrow.
I'll see the PhD another day.
Okay then, bye.
Get in the car.
All right.
As soon as you have a luxury car, you actually look a little rich and handsome.
This isn't even up to half of my standard before the divorce.
- Where did the car come from? - My client gave it to me.
- A lady client, right? - A big client.
A small lawyer like you has never seen a big client, right?
If you file lawsuits for big clients
you'll always travel in first class and live in five star hotels.
What are you doing?
Small lawyers like me don't have clients who give us cars.
And no one gives us taxi fees.
I can only travel by subway or bus.
I put my heels in my bag and change into them when I arrive.
I have an advantage today.
You must good karma to have me as your neighbor.
In the future, you can wear heels to work every morning.
- I'll drive you. - Really?
- What about after work? - You're so greedy.
Xiao Liu, if there's a client later who needs to sign a contract with me
just take her to my office. A woman with the surname Luo.
Okay.
Come in.
Is Ms. Luo here?
Attorney Luo, Ms. Luo just called and said she's not coming.
She said don't wait for her.
What does that mean?
Is she busy and can't come, or is she not coming at all?
I wasn't the one who picked up.
When I called back, she had turned her phone off.
Is she okay?
She came to me and asked me to write that statement.
I even changed it around many times to meet her requirements.
Now's she's not coming?
I've waited for so long for her.
This is so unreasonable.
You can go now.
Hello, the number you have dialed is not currently in service. Sorry...
Hello.
Can you finish work early?
Yes.
I can even leave now.
It's all right. You just lost one client, right?
You won't die without this one case.
Don't be too upset.
There are many people who don't go by their word.
If she were a responsible person would she have been involved
in someone else's relationship?
Learn from me.
No big deal, just start all over again.
I'll treat you to this meal.
You said it yourself.
Waiter, add a plate of fries.
Finish this first before you order more.
All men like to find trouble.
Women like that, who don't consider other people's feelings are selfish and nasty.
Divorcing for someone like her, I really don't get it.
I advise that you don't include me.
What do you mean, all men like to find trouble?
How good am I?
You don't?
Of course I don't.
My wife was the one with a lover.
You just didn't have one, yet.
I had one but didn't let my wife know.
Really? I'm going to record this.
Where is she from? Is she pretty?
You want gossip?
Friends have to exchange their gossip.
Tell me yours first.
We'll go dutch for this meal.
You thought I was willing to treat you?
That was a joke to cheer you up.
Do you feel better now?
I'm all right.
I'll talk to you about work now, okay?
First, you didn't receive a check.
Second, you didn't sign a contract.
You even wrote her a lawyer's statement.
Who can you blame?
Did you think this lady was a normal person?
She was able to seduce someone else's husband. She even sued the wife.
If you had actually taken this case
this client would have been the end of you.
This one lawsuit is equivalent to another ten lawsuits.
All right, stop lecturing me.
My mood was getting better but now it's reverting back.
If only I hadn't accepted it.
Exactly. Don't be too upset.
You're young and pretty.
Just by filing lawsuits do you think you'll become rich and happy?
You have to learn from others.
Look at all of the opportunities and think about your own future.
Even your ex was a good choice. He just needed a divorce.
- I'm getting upset. - Okay, I'll stop.
You can choose your clients.
Keep the single, divorced, handsome men to yourself.
Pass all the... sexy, weird and difficult cases to me.
Are you after the clients or the women?
I had to start all over again.
Ever since you won the lawsuit it's been difficult for me to get women.
I mean clients.
Hello.
You're here.
You're a pretty good worker.
Um...
All this liquor belongs to customers. It's about to expire.
Hurry and contact them and tell them to come consume it.
All right then, if you continue like this I'll need to consider giving you shares.
Stop joking around.
This is the only job I have now. I don't dare to slack off.
You're enjoying this though.
I also get to see you every day.
Isn't that good?
I'll find a job really soon.
I went for another two interviews today. Don't worry.
How did they go?
If this continues, I won't even be able to afford driving a car anymore.
You've only been on a few interviews. There's nothing to worry about.
Where did you go today?
A small company.
You don't need to worry for me.
These two companies should suit you.
Go and have a look when you're free.
[Managerial position in legal department]
Okay.
Hello.
Why do you still have my room key?
I made 1000 copies and gave one to every person on the street.
Cao Qian Kuen gave it to me.
Thanks.
Wait a minute.
Are you in need of money?
- Yes. - Do you want to earn money?
Yes, even in my dreams.
I've taken on a big case. Be my assistant.
Be your assistant?
I was thinking you that work quite well and are in need of money.
What's wrong with being my assistant?
We'll split the earnings three to seven. Okay?
I get 70 percent and you get 30 percent?
Who's the assistant here?
Of course you're my assistant, since you've lost to me before.
I let you win that one, okay?
I thought about it later on.
You value your reputation so much, you wouldn't admit defeat.
That's why you said you purposely let me get the recording.
You were tricking me.
Chi Hai Dong, losing is losing.
Victory and defeat are common situations. Don't be too concerned about your loss.
In this world, you and your mom are the only people with such logic.
You two are such odd people.
Okay, since I've decided to help you
I'll be a good person all the way, and sacrifice my pride.
Have a look at the case.
I'll get you a cup of coffee.
I want it freshly ground.
There's no instant coffee in my house.
[Lawyer's Statement]
[Luo Mei Yuan]
It's working.
Enough, don't look at my client's private information.
I'm saving a copy for you.
[Divorce Agreement]
Let's continue our previous topic.
Chi Hai Dong, did you get this case today?
- Last night. - Did you write this?
My client wrote it. I polished it. It's pretty good, right?
I wrote this. I stayed up all night writing this.
Chi Hai Dong, I can't believe that in order to get a case like this
and earn some dirty money, you actually stole my client?
Relax. What happened?
This is the case I told you about at the restaurant.
This is the case you were talking about at the restaurant?
I really didn't know that.
The name of the client is Dong Da Hai.
He's my good friend of many years.
I've been his company's legal adviser for many years.
He has a mistress named Luo Mei Yuan.
Luo Mei Yuan wants to sue his wife.
He doesn't want to sue his wife so he came to me.
Oh, so he begged you to take this case?
- That's pretty much it. - What about the car?
Did he beg you to take the car as well?
Calm down. This has nothing to do with money.
He really is a friend of mine.
Chi Hai Dong, what did you say at the restaurant?
You said don't accept bad cases.
Keep all the good cases for myself, and give you the bad ones.
I actually thought you were honorable. Keep all the good cases for myself, and give you the bad ones.
I actually thought you were honorable.
It turns out that you're just a duplicitous person.
Can you stop thinking of me like that?
Every time we have a misunderstanding you always assume it's my bad character.
He really is my friend. I didn't know this was your case.
I have Dong Da Hai's number in my phone. Check for yourself.
Of course you have his number.
You stole my client. How can you not have his number?
Are you going to let me explain? I really didn't steal your client.
You're making up something so coincidental.
If you were a screenwriter, you'd be the worst in the world.
What kind of fate is this?
[Identification card]
Hello, Ms. Miao. I'm Attorney Luo Li.
That's enough.
Okay, that's enough.
I need to eat dinner with my wife.
Okay, that's it then. I'm hanging up.
- Is it tasty? - Hurry up and have some.
I'm not eating. I don't like this food.
You shouldn't eat it either, it's unhealthy.
Why would you eat it? Right?
Don't worry, I didn't put chili in it.
You've used up your quota this month. You're not allowed sneak it in.
What about you? Are you sneaky?
I don't even like eating it. Why would I be sneaky?
What about other things?
Am I being sneaky by eating meals with clients?
- Let's watch a movie tomorrow. - Okay.
We haven't watched one in a long time.
What good movies are out?
We can look on the internet.
I think there's one called 'Ex-Files' that's in theaters right now.
- I think so. - Is it good?
How would I know?
You don't know if it's good or not?
We can just look it up on the internet.
What are you looking for?
[Ex-Files, Theater nine]
- Honey. - Was it good?
Honey, it's my fault. It's my fault.
I saw the movie with Hai Dong.
He hasn't been in a good mood recently.
So I saw a movie with him.
You saw this with Hai Dong?
Yes. You don't believe me?
- I don't believe it. - It's true.
- I'm going to call and ask him about it. - Go ahead.
- I'm calling for real. - Go.
[Chi Hai Dong]
Hello, the number you have dialed is busy.
Please try again later.
- He's on a call with someone. - Then try again.
I don't understand.
You already saw this movie with Hai Dong.
Why didn't you tell me the truth when I asked you earlier?
That's not it, honey, look...
I already saw it with Hai Dong.
If you asked me if the movie was good and I said it was, wouldn't you be upset?
That isn't a good excuse.
Honey.
Honey, it's my fault. It really is my fault.
I swear, I won't do it ever again.
You're so weird. You're not guilty.
If you've watched it, you watched it. If you haven't, you haven't.
I know that I was wrong.
I'll never do it again. Okay?
Are you still eating? I want to go home.
I'm done. How could I still have an appetite?
- Let's go. - You're not angry anymore?
Let's go.
Boss, we want the bill.
Do you know, a lot of elevators can't sense lower than 10 centimeters.
If you put your foot there your foot will get caught
and you'll get caught.
Really? I'm so scared.
I'm not lying. I recently saw it on television.
Many dogs were caught like that.
- They got caught and died. - It's not good to curse others.
Why don't you get out now and try it again.
Let's see what happens when I don't do anything.
I don't dare. How about you do a demonstration?
Hold the button.
Why are you so ungrateful?
So ungrateful.
Liar.
