[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 28
[Cao Qian Kuen]
- Finished your smoke? - Yeah.
But you left your cigarettes and lighter here.
I borrowed a smoke from the security guard downstairs.
Your phone's ringing.
It's vibrating.
[Chi Hai Dong]
Who's calling you so late at night?
It's Hai Dong, you want to take it?
It's okay.
Hey, why are you calling me so late at night?
You're the one who called me, what's up?
I know, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?
Okay, I know.
Let's talk tomorrow, it's too late now.
Okay, bye.
What's wrong with him?
So how much did we get?
I lost count again.
Keep counting, I'm going to bed.
[Are you asleep?]
[No, I'm thinking about you.]
[Make A Voice Call]
[Calling]
Hello, everyone.
Thank you for watching our show tonight.
Let's begin with a report on the global economy.
According to a US financial report
a new policy's been released in New York...

Honey.
- Honey. - Breakfast is almost ready.
You got up early to make me breakfast?
It's too oily in here, go wait outside.
It'll be ready soon.
Hello there, my son.
Come and have breakfast.
Okay.
Go ahead and start eating.
Let me try the breakfast that my wife made me.
Don't blame me if it's not good.
That's impossible, my wife's breakfast is the best in the world.
Here's your milk.
You can eat first.
You look very pretty today.
Are you going out?
No.
What time did you come to bed last night?
- After I finished counting the money. - All sorted out?
I've written down all the amounts, so we can be equitable in the future.
[Are you awake yet?]
I really want to break up with Shi Jiang.
After a woman gets pregnant
a man basically can't do anything at all with her, right?
If you actually see what goes on during labor...
that will definitely put an end to a man's sex life.
But Shi Jiang's really nice to me.
When I was feeling down
she stayed by my side the whole time.
Would you have said no if you were me?
But you can't have the best of both worlds.
I know that. I know Mei Yu's a great wife.
What should I do?
You know what? I think Mei Yu's starting to be suspicious of me and Shi Jiang.
See how my phone never rings when I'm here with you?
But when I'm with Shi Jiang, it rings non-stop.
Perhaps she's put some sort of app on my phone.
You must think about it.
You can only choose one or the other.
To be honest, Tang Mei Yu really is the perfect wife.
Your only other option
is to leave China.
You can move to Indonesia or Saudi Arabia.
You can lie down and play here.
- Hello. - Mei Yu, what's up?
Are you free tonight?
I'm free now.
Sure, Your Highness, I'll be there soon.
You can go on ahead.
Bye.
- Are you in a rush? - Did you want to talk to me?
Why don't we find somewhere to talk?
Let's just talk here, I'm busy.
All right.
It's about my partnership.
I'm already working on a lot of cases
- so I need someone... - I'll introduce you to another lawyer.
- Who? - Pan Xiao Gang. You've met before.
I know him. He's Chi Hai Dong's assistant.
Isn't he a bit inexperienced?
He's quite a smart guy.
I'll send you his number.
You can call him if you think he's suitable.
Luo Li.
You should give it some serious thought.
It's a really good opportunity.
I've already sent it to you.
What was the best-selling drink last month?
Red wine.
- Let's order a bit more. - Okay.
- Forget about the ones that don't sell. - Okay.
You can get back to work now.
You've finally come to see me.
Did you get jealous yesterday?
That's not why I'm here today.
Then why did you come to see me?
That's enough.
What did I do?
You just had to wear the same jewelry as Mei Yu, didn't you?
How did I know that she was going to wear it as well?
But I didn't expect you to have bought the same jewelry set.
So what?
We also use the same cell phone.
We also happen to like the same man.
- Shi Jiang, I think we should just... - You know what?
Last night
Tang Mei Yu used your cell phone and called our private number.
But don't worry, I didn't speak at all.
As soon as I heard the baby on the other end
I hung up right away.
But I'm pretty sure
that Tang Mei Yu already knows you have another woman.
That's not important anymore.
Miss Luo.
Master Wu just called me
and said you recommended me.
Thank you.
You're welcome. They happen to have a vacancy there.
Is there anything that I should be aware of?
Master Wu's very punctual so don't be late.
Also, make sure you keep up a tidy and professional appearance.
- That's about it. - Okay, I got it.
Good luck, bye.
Was that Pan Xiao Gang?
Did you recommend him to work at Wu Wen Hui's firm?
He just set up a new department so he's in need of staff.
Don't be such a busybody.
So why did you ask me to come out?
So tell me about your business.
I want some advice.
It's not for me, it's for my friend.
She wanted to ask about your divorce cases.
Are the majority of them because the man had an affair?
Some of them are.
So in the end
does the mistress usually win or is it the wife?
Both.
Is there some kind of trend or experience that you can share with me?
Is it Cao Qian Kuen?
Of course not.
Things are absolutely fine between us.
It's my friend. You don't know her.
Can you figure it out for her?
- Is your friend a man or a woman? - Woman.
- Is she the mistress or the wife? - She's the wife.
- Does her husband want a divorce? - No.
- Did her husband come clean? - No.
- Then how does she know about his affair? - It's just women's intuition.
Did she ask her husband about it?
- She didn't. - Why not?
She doesn't have any proof.
Also, her husband's really nice too her.
That's why she's not 100 percent sure.
I'm not married myself
but in many of my cases
affairs are like common colds.
Take some medicine and it'll go away.
But some are different, and are like cancerous tumors.
- Those need a major operation. - What do you mean?
- A divorce. - Touch wood.
Don't say that.
It's not that serious.
Don't even mention it.
I guess they're probably just having... what did you call it?
A common cold.
Then it's simple.
How do I cure a common cold?
That'll depend on the wife's wisdom.
If they have a strong foundation and a good immune system
then the virus will be killed very quickly.
I'll definitely tell my friend to follow Dr. Luo's prescription.
- Let's try that. - Good luck.
Thank you.
- Where are you? - I'm in the elevator.
I just walked up the stairs after my run. I should have waited for you downstairs.
Too bad.
I'll give you another chance.
- I'll go to your place now. - Okay, I'll wait for you.
My mom's on the other line.
- Hi, Mom. - Li Li.
It's very late, why aren't you home yet?
I'm still at Mei Yu's place.
She's really upset and wants to talk to me.
We can't get to sleep until we actually see you come home.
Don't worry, you should go to bed now.
Come back soon, okay?
It's very dangerous to be out so late at night.
All right.
- So where is she? - She said Tang Mei Yu's place.
- When will she come back? - You're finally worried now.
Put away your sword.
- It's already so late. - I haven't cleaned it for a long time.
I'm so worried.
It's only been an hour.
Do you really have to go so soon?
One hour is a long time.
It's already been longer that I expected.
I might have a beard, but I'm not that old.
Your parents haven't asked you to go back yet, right?
They will if I don't go back now.
They might even start calling you.
It's not so good to live this close after all.
It's like having an affair.
When can we actually have a night to ourselves
just like our first time?
Next week.
- Are your parents finally leaving? - I'm sending them away on a vacation.
That's great.
You're so smart.
You pay the airfare and I'll pay for the accommodation.
Let's give them a long vacation.
You're so generous.
This is about the two of us.
I haven't stayed at your place before.
I'm sure it'll be a beautiful night.
Make sure you come before I move out next month.
Move out?
Then what about our night of romance?
Isn't one month enough?
No, what I mean is if you move out
then all your renovations will be wasted.
Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.
Then you can move out instead. I'm fine either way.
Why?
Since we're together now, why live separately?
It'd be a waste of money.
I've got it all figured out.
I'll tell my parents about us tomorrow.
After I tell them
then we can officially live together.
Happy?
Hang on.
I want to show you something.
People usually propose with a diamond ring.
This is a pinkie ring.
I bought it after I got divorced from Jiao Yan Yan.
Our marriage left me with very painful memories.
So as a remembrance
you should know the meaning of such a ring, right?
A decision to stay single.
Yes. I'm still not sure yet.
So what you're trying to say is
that our last few days together were just for fun?
Well...
I know it's great to be in love.
But I don't think we really need
to decide our whole future right now, do we?
It just came naturally, right?
Should we talk about it?
Let's spend 15 minutes on this.
Honey, you're home.
Did you cook all these dishes yourself?
I learned them from a cookbook.
Come on, have a seat.
Tell me what you think about the very first feast that I've ever cooked.
He's asleep.
Here, honey.
- I want to tell you something, honey. - Honey.
Let me tell you a story first.
Once upon a time...
two lovebirds...
decided to migrate to a faraway place together.
Suddenly...
a gust of wind came and broke them up.
One of the birds
left the flight path
got a bit lost...
and flew off with another bird.
The bird that was left behind...
was heartbroken.
But when the lost bird finally came back...
the heartbroken bird didn't blame him at all.
Instead, she chose to cheer up
and fly toward their destination together.
I think marriage is just like a vacation.
Throughout our journey
we run into many people
and many problems.
But since I've chosen you...
you, me, and our baby
when the three of us are together
we are a warm and loving family.
So throughout our journey...
no matter what I hear
or what I see...
my first priority is
to trust you.
I know you'll never betray my trust in you.
Right?
I forgot about our soup.
Let me heat it up.
Sorry I'm late.
- What happened to your hand? - It's nothing serious.
Sorry I'm late, madam.
Let's get started.
I've already talked with Jin Xiu.
She's agreed to apologize to Luo Mei Yuan.
Whether it be a public or private apology
she's willing to do it.
I guess I was too mad before.
That's why I said and did some crazy things.
I really regret it now.
So I'm willing to apologize to her.
If she accepts my apology
then it'll all be settled, right?
But if she doesn't accept it and still wants to sue me then just let her do it.
Attorney Luo, you don't have to defend me anymore.
I'll accept any verdict that the court decides to make.
That's the kind of person she is. I know her too well.
Even though she hated Luo Mei Yuan before
now she's become so considerate.
She keeps worrying about Luo Mei Yuan's future
since she's already 30 years old and pregnant with a child.
Of course.
It really worries me.
Luo Mei Yuan might be wrong but her child's innocent.
If either of them becomes sick then their lives would be very difficult.
Dong Da Hai, it's also your fault.
That's why we shouldn't hurt them again.
The reason why Da Hai and I have asked you two to come today
is because we'd like you to pass a message on to her.
If I say it to her, she might think I'm trying to show off.
If Da Hai goes, then she might think he's just pretending to be nice.
That's why we'd like the two of you to pass a message on to Luo Mei Yuan for us.
What we're trying to say
is that no matter what kind of problems she runs into in the future
we'll always be here to help her.
Tell her that if she can't take care of the baby after it's born
then we'll be here for her.
The baby's innocent, right?
If she prefers to look after her baby
instead of coming to us, then that's fine too.
Whenever she or her baby needs help
whether it be money, a nanny, or whatever
we'll always be here to support and help her.
That's all.
Right?
Yeah, something like that.
Dong Da Hai, after all the pain you've put your wife through
you must treasure the rest of your life with her.
Also, Luo Mei Yuan's a very arrogant person.
Make sure you tell her in a tactful way.
Don't insult her.
You must have a discussion before you go to her.
- Understand? - Sure, don't worry, madam.
We're very experienced in this.
Especially Attorney Luo.
She'll figure out how to say it from a woman's perspective.
She's always been very good and flexible with her arguments.
I went to the hospital this morning and it's a fracture.
Last night, I might have been a little careless with my words.
But your attitude wasn't that good either.
Look what you've done to my hand.
Chi Hai Dong.
Last night, nothing happened between us.
Let me warn you.
From now on, we'll only be talking about work.
I understand.
How about this?
About what happened between the two of us
let's just keep it to ourselves.
Actually, I didn't think too much about it at first.
No matter who started it
I'm apologizing to you now, okay?
I really didn't know you were that serious about it.
Chi Hai Dong, stop kidding me.
You're the one being too serious.
I must have scared you, right?
We're both mature adults.
Just take it easy, okay?
To be honest, you're not my first, and won't be my last either.
A millennial, right?
That's it.
I knew my judgment was right.
Actually, you've always been a generous woman in my eyes.
If you'd been so straightforward last night then my hand wouldn't be like this.
I guess we're still going to be friends, right?
I'll treat you to dinner after we talk to Luo Mei Yuan today.
So which one of us will talk to her?
You're her lawyer, so of course it's you.
Since you're Miao Jin Xiu's lawyer, you're also responsible.
Let go of me.
I knew you wouldn't let me off the hook that easily.
As I said, we'll only talk about work.
Fine.
Then let's just talk about work, okay?
This is what I'll tell her.
When things like this happen
why do people always blame the man for taking advantage?
Perhaps it's the woman who's taken advantage of the man.
When two people are together it's all about love.
But things always turn ugly when they break up.
Who are you talking about?
Luo Mei Yuan and Dong Da Hai.
I'll also tell Luo Mei Yuan
that since Dong Da Hai's already so old
she should just let his ex-wife have him.
Since she's pregnant now
she can choose whether to let him recognize his child or not.
If she does, then just take a DNA test.
According to the law
both a legitimate and illegitimate child shall have equal rights.
Are you also planning to say
'You're still so young and beautiful, and have a child, a house, and a car'
'as well as your own freedom.'
'You've enjoyed all the goodness of this man'
'without having to bear the obligations that come with it'
'such as looking after his parents and being loyal to him.'
'Not only are you not restrained by marriage'
'but because of your child'
'both Dong Da Hai and his wife are taking great care of you now.'
'You can have all the boyfriends and money that you want.'
'How great is that?'
- That's your despicable theory, right? - Something like that.
Is she still mad at me?
