[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 19
Luo Mei Yuan.
You shameless homewrecker.
In relationships and in life
many people encounter situations that are unclear.
Who's wrong and who's right only the involved party would know.
Attorney Luo, we are both women.
Have you not encountered such troubles in your relationships?
Buddy, you have to help me with this.
I'm not helping you. This is not a business matter.
This is a family matter. Find someone else. I'm not helping you. This is not a business matter.
This is a family matter. Find someone else.
If you accept this case, I'll give you the Chrysler 300.
Chi Hai Dong, did you get this case today?
- Last night. - Did you write this?
My client wrote it, I polished it. It's quite good, right?
I wrote this.
Hello, Ms. Miao. I'm attorney Luo Li.
Attorney Luo, thank you.
What do you think the odds are of me winning this lawsuit?
Have some tea first.
To be honest...
I can't give you any guarantees.
However, you are the defendant. You have to respond.
You don't have a choice.
How confident are you then?
I mean, how confident can you be?
As of now...
Ms. Luo is looking for you.
Ms. Luo?
Luo Mei Yuan?
A homewrecker like you...
How dare you come here?
You even dare to sue me?
You dare sue me?
What? You're even hitting me?
Yeah, I'm hitting you.
- What right do you have to hit me? - Get out of the way.
Are you all right, Attorney Luo?
Stop it. Call the police.
Luo Mei Yuan, you homewrecker!
Call the police.
Calm down.
Why did you go over there?
I just felt bad.
At the very least I had to go and notify her.
She helped us with a lot of things.
I told you to switch lawyers.
What are lawyers?
They know your all of your private affairs and all of your weaknesses.
You actually met one on the street and you trust her?
Not to mention that you found her on the internet.
Why didn't you get me a lawyer earlier then?
You knew I wanted to sue her and you tried to stop me.
You were afraid of her getting hurt. Aren't you afraid that I'll get hurt?
Great. Now she's going around telling everyone that I'm a... slut.
Look at you. Look at how angry you are.
Don't listen to what she says.
You actually listen to her.
Well if I'm a slut, you're a slut's husband.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Let me give you a massage.
You got hurt?
I'm here to visit you.
Stop putting on an act.
Are you visiting me on behalf of your client?
I'm visiting on behalf of myself.
And my client.
I'll tell you some good news.
My client agreed to compensate you.
Of course. She also has to pay for my medical fees.
Are you new to this world? How much are a few scars worth?
I said my client agreed to compensate you for not hiring you for this lawsuit.
You should be the one to compensate me.
You stole this case from me.
Why should I compensate you?
I'll tell you one more time.
I didn't get this case by stealing from you.
Let me tell you.
One, Dong Da Hai is my good friend of many years.
I've always been his company's long term legal adviser.
Originally, Dong Da Hai didn't want Luo Mei Yuan to cause trouble
but Luo Mei Yuan already did.
He was worried he couldn't control it, so he came to me.
Two, you were the one who asked me to fix your laptop that day.
I was only being curious and asked you two questions.
I didn't know Luo Mei Yuan was your client.
Do you have a third point?
I'm a great lawyer myself.
We're also great neighbors.
Is there a need for me to do that?
One, I'm Miao Jin Xiu's lawyer now.
We're opposing council now.
Two, as a fellow lawyer
I truly despise your acts.
Not because you accepted Luo Mei Yuan's case
but because the lawyer's statement you're using was written by me. Not because you accepted Luo Mei Yuan's case
but because the lawyer's statement you're using was written by me.
Even though you changed it around, my writing still served as the basis.
This is going to become a stain on your life.
Three, you've already mentioned the two explanations you just gave.
There's no need to mention them again.
Even if lies are covered up 100 times, they are still lies.
See, I knew you wouldn't believe me. I have evidence.
I know you're looking through the peephole.
I've bought the evidence here.
This is the contract I signed with Dong Da Hai.
This one is proof that I've worked with his company for all these years.
I also have the... telephone records.
It's probably all fake.
I brought it here so you could check.
You have nothing to say?
I have all the evidence.
All right.
Master Chi will give you another chance.
Apologize to me.
You're still the one at fault.
What did I do wrong?
The statement you're using is still the one I wrote.
Luo Li.
I know that experiencing this setback in your career makes you feel upset.
How about this, I'll be a gentleman.
I'll tell you everything honestly.
That statement of yours was really well written.
Your argument was clear and it was packed with emotion.
How about this, don't stand on Miao Jin Xiu's side.
It's a lawsuit you'll never win.
I'll be generous. I'll let you be my assistant.
I'll split all my earnings for this case with you, four to six.
- Okay? - Three to seven.
I get seven, you get three.
You're being too greedy here.
Two to eight. I get eight you get two.
Understand the situation.
I'm here to give you some benefits. I'm not scared of you.
If you really take on this lawsuit you won't even get a single cent.
Then let's do one to nine.
- There's no more negotiation, okay? - The negotiation has failed.
Why do you want to take on a lawsuit that you'll never win?
If it's a lawsuit you'll definitely win, where's the fun in that?
Are you that righteous?
You wouldn't understand.
Didn't your teacher teach you at school.
There are some lawsuits where you know you'll lose
but you'll still have to take the case. Lawsuits aren't for winning
they're for protecting our pride, equality, and justice.
Once your high spirit dies down
think hard about whether or not I came today to give you a way out.
Anyway, my conscience is clear.
Stop being so stubborn and emotional.
The law only protects one's assets, not emotions.
If you must be so stubborn we'll meet in court for the third time.
See you there.
The law only protects one's assets, not emotions.
Protects one's assets?
Hello, Ms. Miao, where are you?
I want to come over. Yes, right now.
We can lodge a counterclaim against them for protecting assets.
He divorced me. He divorced me.
I didn't even know Dong Da Hai actually wanted a divorce with me.
I only have one request and that's to withdraw our fake divorce.
- Withdraw it. Okay? - Ms. Miao, calm down first.
- Listen to me. - Go ahead.
First, you're an adult.
You signed the agreement and got divorced at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
It's very hard to prove it was a fake divorce.
My professional advice to you is that we should target the assets
and make a counterclaim against them.
According to the law, before a divorce the assets in your ex-husband's name
should have actually been shared property between the two of you.
He handled them without your knowledge.
The investment he gave to Luo Mei Yuan's company.
Purchasing expensive goods for Luo Mei Yuan.
You should also have a portion of the money your ex-husband earned
while doing business with Luo Mei Yuan.
I suggest we file a lawsuit
and request a redistribution of the assets owned prior to the divorce.
What do you think?
But I don't want others to think that I'm after the assets.
Do you have some water?
I'd like some please.
I just don't understand.
I just can't figure it out.
Why did Dong Da Hai... why did he have to lie to me?
Why did he lie and get a fake divorce?
Do you know, back then when we got married...
When we got together he was dirt poor.
He didn't have anything. We started everything from scratch.
Look around. We got all of this afterwards.
Now that we have everything, he wants to divorce me.
How can he do that?
Actually, in the past Dong Da Hai really wasn't bad.
He was a good person.
He just got seduced by that evil woman.
Luo Mei Yuan, that homewrecker, kept approaching him.
You know?
Do you know when they got together and how they met?
Yang Zi Jiang Business School.
Clever.
It was that stupid business school.
How is that a business school? It's just a homewrecker school.
It's for training homewreckers.
I don't understand young girls these days.
A girl who is young and pretty should find a young man and get married.
How good is that? Why would you eye someone else's husband?
What is so good about Dong Da Hai?
Why did she fall for him?
Young girls these days
used to look for men 10 years older.
And then 20 years, and now 30 years isn't considered old. It's true.
He could almost be her grandfather.
Yes. Um... Ms. Miao.
The situation you just described I already understand.
The problem is they're suing you now.
Suing you for invading her privacy and reputation.
Well she destroyed my family.
Regarding that, every county has it's own regulations.
In some counties and regions, destroying families
or knowing one has a family and purposely interfering
is against the law. You will be sentenced.
Yes, get a sentence. Shoot them.
However, our county doesn't have this law.
Why not? We must have it. We should have it.
Homewreckers these days are so rampant.
They even dare sue the wife.
And there's a popular saying in society that says
'I'm a homewrecker and I'm proud of it.'
'I destroyed someone's family, I'm skillful.'
'You can't become a homewrecker because you're old, you're not pretty.'
'You're cursing homewreckers because you're just jealous.'
What kind of nonsense is this?
Extra proud of being a homewrecker.
That's just disregarding justice.
Yes, homewreckers are quite detestable.
Yes.
But aren't you divorced right now?
I was coerced. Forced, you know?
It was a fake divorce.
Let me tell you something. Look at me.
The one who came up with the idea to do a fake divorce
was a lawyer named Chi Hai Dong.
He is now that homewrecker, Luo Mei Yuan's lawyer.
I am certain that before this happened
he definitely knew about Dong Da Hai and Luo Mei Yuan's inappropriate relationship.
They all got together and deceived me. It's true.
- They all deceived me. - That can't be true.
Why not?
Dong Da Hai and Chi Hai Dong are friends.
Talking about this makes me regret it.
I regret allowing Dong Da Hai to hang around and be friends with him.
He is such a shady person.
He came up with so many bad ideas.
I used to think Chi Hai Dong was quite a good person.
I really trusted him.
But now looking at it, why is he this kind of person?
How can he be a lawyer?
Are you aware of his situation?
- We know each other. - Let me tell you his situation.
This person has no boundaries.
A few years ago he met a pretty girl.
He wanted to marry her.
He told her, I have a house and a car.
So the girl married him.
A while ago he actually dumped her.
When that happened, he said something that went viral on the internet.
What he said...
it was something roughly like this.
Hey, I have a house and a car but you can't take it. Why?
Those were my assets prior to marriage. They have nothing to do with you.
You go do whatever you like. Go wherever you want.
What kind of nonsense is this?
She slept with you for so many years, all for nothing.
Even better than prostitution.
What is that? He's just a rogue.
Regarding his family situation, I'm more aware than you are.
I was his ex-wife's lawyer.
Oh, it was you.
I heard about it.
They say you're such a great person.
Fighting for justice. Attorney Luo.
I'm counting on you for this case.
If they insist on this lawsuit, you can handle it however you like.
Whatever you say, I'll do.
I'll listen to you for everything.
My advice is still the same. Let's target the assets.
Why? I don't want money.
The marriage law doesn't protect relationships.
The law doesn't state one must love another person forever.
Attorney Chi.
Old people like you wake up so early.
Not as early as you.
Didn't you go out at midnight?
- Were you spying on me? - No.
I was asleep and heard the bang of your door.
I never knew you cared about me so much.
Your messy hair makes you look fragile.
You look like the main character of some tragic story.
The main character is someone else.
I'm just part of the audience.
I chatted with Miao Jin Xii at her house all of last night.
I misunderstood. What's the point?
For a lawsuit you'll never win.
- Look who's talking. - Pretend I didn't say anything.
What did you two talk about?
She spent half the night cursing her ex-husband.
Half the night spent cursing you.
You were cursing me at her house?
I wanted to, but couldn't get a word in.
Let me ask you a question.
Did you know Dong Da Hai had a mistress
and that's why he deceived Miao Jin Xiu with a fake divorce.
Am I that immoral?
When Miao Jin Xiu asked me about the fake divorce
I clearly told her the negatives to a fake divorce.
The day Miao Jin Xiu took Dong Da Hai to my office, you were there.
You kept messing with me because of 4000 yuan. Did you forget?
Jiao Yan Yan called you and said she wanted a fake marriage. Right?
I didn't have time for that couple.
It was Pan Xiao Gang who let them sign the agreement.
Dong Da Hai is my friend. The agreement was signed.
Should I rip it up?
- What are you doing? - Look in my eyes.
I'll believe you for now.
I was saying, you are quite wicked sometimes
but you still have your boundaries.
Stop cursing me indirectly.
Let me tell you, a lawyer's greatest responsibility
is to protect our client's legitimate rights and interests.
Don't always stand on your own emotional soapbox
to judge someone else's wrongdoings.
What's the biggest dispute in a divorce?
Isn't it just property disputes?
Even if Dong Da Hai told a lie, he didn't take anything with him, right?
Miao Jin Xiu still won't let him go.
I'm actually starting to understand Dong Da Hai.
If he hadn't used this method, he wouldn't be able to divorce anytime soon.
Stop talking to me about this.
Aren't you just trying to prove
Dong Da Hai's fake divorce is justified?
You can't say it like that.
You have to learn to stand in a character's shoes.
Use the character's attitude to think about the character's actions.
Wait a minute.
What does this have to do with characters?
Recently, I've investigated for you Stanislavski's performance system.
Let me tell you why you can never get that 'let the lightning strike you' scene right.
Thanks. For that scene, 'Let the lightning strike you' I would act it
with so much passion.
You need to take a nap, Si Feng.
Then let the lightning strike you.
Today I reunited with him.
The tragic thing is, a perfect romance has already been destroyed.
Miss Lin, I've come late.
I've come late.
Can we have a change?
Everyday we have soy milk and Chinese fritters.
I've drunk so much soy milk that as soon as I burp, all I smell is soy.
Did you get Alzheimer's from eating too much Chinese fritters?
What's wrong with you?
I serve you with food and drinks every day and you're still picky?
What do you mean you're serving me?
That's because you go wandering in the morning.
On your way back, you just casually buy these things to cope with me.
Can we have a change?
I changed.
When I buy breakfast in the morning, I change clothes every day.
Who cares about changing clothes?
Even if you continue like this
you still can't cover up those three years.
Are you done?
Three years? Three years old?
Will you ever stop complaining?
A woman older by three years is a treasure.
You're a treasure? You're just an old brick.
Even though I'm three years older than you
you actually look six years older than me.
Whose fault is it that you look so old?
Old, you're old.
I really can't take this.
In the registration book was the number one
you added a curve and changed it to a four.
Just like that you hid three years of age.
How clever are you?
Stayed with me for 30 years under false pretenses.
Why don't you go star in 'Lurk'.
Are you still eating?
No.
- If you're not eating, get out and eat. - Fine, I'll go out.
I'll go out and eat buns.
I'll also get a bowl of porridge.
Three years.
You keep going on and on about it.
We're just eating breakfast and you can cause trouble out of that.
Hello, Mom.
What happened? What happened to you?
Your dad is talking about past issues again.
He said I hid three years of age from him.
I tricked him into marriage.
Your father also said
he said I can go star in 'Lurk'.
We couldn't even finish eating a meal today.
To be honest
I've always thought you're quite similar to Cui Ping.
How did you convince the policeman to change your age for you.
Why would I bribe the policeman?
It's not that easy to bribe the police.
I added a curve to the number one and changed it to a four.
See, what my dad said was right. You really do have the qualities of a spy.
All right.
Just stay away from Auntie Xiao Qin in the future.
If it weren't for her betrayal, you could have continued lurking.
I'm telling you.
I'll remember her for the rest of my life.
Okay Mom, if there's nothing else I'm going to continue sleeping.
Why would I have nothing else to say?
Wait a moment. Let me ask you something.
Your partner.
How's your search for a partner?
Whenever we talk about this
I think of Tang Mei Yu.
Look at how good she's doing.
She even has a child now.
When can you have one?
Stop making me worry, all right?
Mom, you and Dad also make me worry a lot.
Look at other people's parents.
Always so loving and never arguing.
Can't you guys learn from that?
That's all your fault.
If you had gotten married earlier and given birth to a child
your dad and I could have taken care of it.
The house would be so cheerful. Why would we argue?
We would've been doing so well.
You can't always blame your issues with Dad on me.
That's so unfair.
You two should go for a holiday.
Don't always stay home.
Your temper is getting worse from that.
It's becoming so weird.
Li Li, let mom tell you something.
You don't need to worry about your dad and me.
We don't matter. We're at this age anyway.
But you
when are you going to find someone? You have to hurry up.
Mom isn't trying to scare you.
When women are single for too long, their temper will become really strange.
It's true. By that time, you won't be able to get married even if you want to.
Honey.
I made some soup for you.
Have some. I'll feed you.
Slowly honey, it's hot.
- Have another spoonful. - It's hot.
Hold it.
Hello.
Um... go on.
Hello, is this Cao Qian Kuen?
This is he.
I'm from the HR department of Zhong Cheng Group.
Hello.
Mr. Cao, this is the situation.
You applied for our company's Legal Director position. Right?
That's right.
We had a look at your resume and want to ask you a few questions.
Go ahead.
When are you available to start work?
I can start any time.
Honey.
Can I give you a call later?
Okay.
- Honey. - Huh?
I want to drink hot water.
- Okay, coming. - Hot water.
Wait a minute.
Hot water is coming.
The water is here. Give that to me.
We ran out of fruit at home. I'll go out and buy some.
Stay home and wait for me. Okay? Wait for me.
Wait for me.
[Mr. Happy]
Hello the number you have dialed is busy.
Please try again later.
Sorry, the subscriber your have dialed is busy now. Please...
[Luo Li]
Hello the number you have dialed is busy.
Please try again later.
Sorry...
Honey, feed me too.
- Stop it, he's my honey. - Here.
Can't I be the mistress?
Here, I'll feed you. Good girl.
Ever since I got pregnant
I haven't watched a movie with you.
Don't worry, there's me.
I'll watch them with your husband.
[Ex-Files, Theater nine.]
- You saw this with Hai Dong? - Yes.
Driver, follow that car.
Let's go.
Hai Dong, Don't you want a massage?
It's so relaxing.
Men shouldn't get married. Seriously.
If you do, don't get a divorce.
Getting married and then divorced, it's so troublesome.
Hai Dong, when I got divorced, as my good friend, why didn't you stop me?
Even your wife and kid couldn't stop you. How could I have stopped you?
Why do you look fine after your divorce?
You look so cheerful every day.
A happy single man?
Master Chi didn't want anything.
He left with no assets.
I didn't want anything either. I just wanted a small old house.
If you hadn't wanted that you wouldn't have even been able to get a divorce.
Didn't you trick your wife by saying that you wanted to sell the small house
and for tax reasons you needed to get a divorce?
Single and one house, there's no tax.
Who suggested this idea to me? It was all your stupid idea.
Mr. Yang Jiang wrote a book called 'Us Three'.
It's about his family.
In the future, I'll write a book for you called 'You Three'.
Isn't this what you call birds of a feather flock together?
Us three? What is there to write about us three?
Us three shouldn't write a book.
We should film a television drama.
Yeah.
- Let's go over there. - Okay.
We don't need a massage anymore. Thanks.
Hai Dong.
Look at those three.
Have a look at those three.
So nice.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I only just saw them.
Okay, let's talk about serious matters.
Regarding my problem. I just want to minimize the trouble.
But my wife doesn't want to stop causing trouble.
I can't stop her.
At first, I didn't want you.
I wanted to find a different lawyer. But I can't afford to embarrass myself.
At the end of the day, lawyers gain money and fame.
But I lose money and instead gain embarrassment.
Incompetent people bring the team down.
All right, let's talk about serious matters.
I asked you to be Luo Mei Yuan's lawyer.
There's only one motive for that.
You've told us already that you're scared of rumors spreading.
We're a family. You can trust our confidentiality.
No, this is only one of the motives.
What other motives are there?
I was so angry that I'm confused now. I forgot the other motive.
At the end of the day, both women must be comforted.
They're both my wives. One's my ex-wife, one's my future wife.
Not to mention the biggest problem now.
Luo Mei Yuan is pregnant. It's mine.
I wanted the children to be loving siblings in the future.
But look at the situation now.
How can they be loving?
Wait, no. They're already siblings.
Let's mediate.
Yes, mediate. We have to mediate with both of them.
- Hello, honey. - Where are you?
I'm at a meeting. I'll call you later.
Hello?
Your Highness, are you doing a secret check up?
I'm here to see you. Am I not welcomed?
It doesn't feel good to be served by someone at home, right?
There's no one to serve me.
Qian Kuen is so busy these days. I don't know why.
Really? That's not good. I'll give him a lesson later.
When are you going to see him?
I'm so busy. Where do I find the time to see him? Come in.
Are you that busy?
I was planning to ask if you wanted to see a movie with me in the afternoon.
I don't have time in the afternoon. How about tonight?
I'll eat dinner and go movies with you tonight.
See 'Ex-Files' with me then.
I've already seen that.
Who did you see it with?
I'll just see it with you again.
Really?
I'm great, aren't I?
You're so great.
You already bought the tickets?
Why are you so generous today?
Look at the date.
What do you mean?
If you don't want others to know, then don't commit the act.
Yes.
You know about everything now.
Why did you hide it from me?
I was afraid you'd get hurt. You were pregnant at that time.
Also, I didn't think much about it.
Wasn't it just a movie?
So it really was you.
Did you think you wouldn't hurt me by hiding it from me?
Were you planning to hide it forever?
Wait a minute. What do you mean, 'So it really was me'?
I knew Qian Kuen had something going on. He seemed to have another woman.
Until now, I wasn't certain that it was you.
But you actually gave it away.
You admitted it.
Tang Mei Yu, what do you mean?
Are you saying I have something going on with Cao Qian Kuen?
What else could it be?
Stop laughing. I know you too well.
Laughing is an attempt to cover it up. You feel guilty.
You've gone too far, Luo Li.
Aren't we best friends?
Others say to be careful of you friends.
I didn't dare to think that it was you.
Now that I think about it wasn't I being silly?
You have a record of stealing other people's husbands.
You really are silly, Tang Mei Yu.
Did your brain get squished when you came in?
What happened between Wu Wen Hui and me, others don't know, but you do.
I was also a victim.
How could I know he had a wife and kids?
What you just said was too hurtful.
I have a thing with Cao Qian Kuen?
Are you all right?
If I liked him I would've taken action in college.
- Would you have even had a chance? - But Cao Qian Kuen didn't like you.
Did you two see the movie together?
Yes.
How could you go to a movie with my husband?
It's not what you're thinking.
You two are really something.
Even your confessions aren't the same.
He told me he saw this movie with Chi Hai Dong.
What he said isn't wrong either.
What do you mean it isn't wrong?
Did he see it with you or with him?
Wait.
Take it. Take it.
- What is it? - Have a look for yourself.
This is what you just gave me.
- Sit down. - Why do you have one too?
Sit down and I'll tell you.
This is what happened.
Qian Kuen, here.
- Cao Qian Kuen. - Isn't that Cao Qian Kuen?
His wife is pregnant and he's at the movies with another woman.
Cao Qian Kuen.
- Do you want to die? - Look, he heard.
This is what happened.
Recently I've been really stressed due to work.
That day, I went shopping at the mall and wanted to see a movie.
It was such a coincidence.
Qian Kuen and Hai Dong were also there in line to buy tickets.
I don't know what was wrong with me at the time.
Maybe I was too sensitive.
I thought, why would two men buy tickets together to see a movie?
I was thinking there might be something going on between them.
You understand, right?
So I bought a ticket to the same movie, and went in to observe them.
So you're saying you three saw this movie together?
No, it doesn't count as seeing it together.
They didn't know I was sitting behind them.
Then what was your conclusion?
Everything was normal. Don't worry.
Luo Li, don't lie to me. Swear.
Swear that you have nothing going on with my husband.
I swear.
If I have something going on with Cao Qian Kuen
I'll never be able to get married, and I'll be old and wrinkly until death.
All right?
That was a serious curse.
I feel reassured now. I was scared.
I really thought you and my husband had something going on.
I'd rather get together with Chi Hai Dong instead.
Chi Hai Dong is single at least.
What does your husband have to offer? There's nothing.
It looks like I let my imagination get the better of me.
That time when you came to my house to visit me and then Qian Kuen saw you out
you two talked about movies.
As soon as you two left someone posted on Weibo
that two people were hugging downstairs.
I also let my imagination take over then.
Do you think I have what they call postpartum depression?
You have postpartum mental illness.
I'm sorry. I wronged you.
- Don't be angry. - Stop that.
If you're sincere, treat me to dinner and take me to the movies.
Where will I find the time for a movie? I have to cook dinner for Qian Kuen.
I'm leaving. Bye bye.
What kind of person are you?
