[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 34
Can I make one final request?
Go on.
It's my birthday tomorrow. Can you spend the day with me?
Do you know
I've also loved you for 10 years.
10 whole years.
I told you not to drink so much and you didn't listen. You're so disobedient.
I swear, next time I won't drink this much, okay?
I really won't drink this much anymore.
I don't want to drink this much either.
I promise I'll be obedient next time.
I'll never drink this much alcohol again.
Take a break and drink some water.
Just take a break.
You've been working hard the whole day.
I'm not tired.
I'm worried that you'll get tired.
You've been here for two days now but you're not even talking to me.
All you do is work.
If all my workers were like you, that would save me from worry.
Let's have a hotpot tonight.
We can go out and buy some groceries later.
The soup base that I make is delicious.
- Okay? - Okay.
[Tang Mei Yu]
Honey.
Seven o'clock?
Okay. Okay, I know.
Your dad already knows that running away from home was a mistake.
Do you know your mistakes?
He promised that no matter what happens in the future
he won't make important decisions on his own.
Okay, you talk to him. Here.
Hello.
You're with Hai Dong, right?
All right then.
Who told you to hang up? I wasn't finished talking.
The two of them are together, let's not bother them.
If you have anything to say, tell her when she gets home.
Who said you could sit down?
It's been a long day. Are you hungry?
I even have to cook for you.
You can sit down.
Just make me a bowl of noodles, nothing too fancy.
Welcome. Do you have a reservation?
Ms. Tang booked the room.
- This way, please. - Thank you.
- Please come in, Sir. - Okay.
Mom, Dad, why are you two here?
You're already here, why are you still standing? Have a seat.
Mom, why didn't you call and tell me you were coming?
I could have gone to pick you guys up.
We only just decided. We were worried that you would be busy with work.
Ask him if he's been busy with work lately?
Son, are you...
Qian Kuen
I heard from Mei Yu that you haven't been home lately. Is that right?
Shouldn't you go home?
You're a father now.
You have to fulfill your responsibility as a father. Right?
Yes.
Son, how can you not go home?
No matter what happens, you still have to go home.
That's enough.
Let's order the food first.
If you have anything to say, we'll talk as we eat.
Waiter.
Come in.
- We want to order. - Okay.
Mr. Tang, it's my treat today. Order whatever you want.
That can't happen.
You guys traveled a long way to our country's capital city.
Also, the food here is expensive.
I'll take the bill.
Mr. Tang, even though we came from a small area in the Northeast
and the food here is expensive, we can still afford to treat you to a meal.
Waiter, menu.
Sir, the menu is here.
I thought it was Teresa Teng's album.
Waiter
give me one kilogram of lobster.
Sorry Sir, our lobsters are only served by the piece.
What do you mean, by the piece?
As in a whole lobster.
Then give me the largest one you have.
Okay.
How many servings are in your abalone?
Abalone is served per person.
Per person?
One, two, three, four, five.
Give me five servings of abalone.
- Let me order it, Dad. - You stand aside.
Mr. Cao, you don't need to order this kind of food.
Mei Yu's dad and I eat it all the time.
Since all of you are here today, we can try some new dishes.
Forget it.
Since Mr. Cao wants to eat that, just let him order it.
Also, they don't usually eat this kind of food.
Mr. Tang, what should we have to drink?
Since Mr. Cao wants to drink alcohol, I'll have some with you.
- Let's get some Chinese white wine then. - Okay.
I heard the Chinese vodka in Beijing is famous.
Let's get some Chinese vodka.
Waiter, a whole bottle of Chinese vodka.
Mei Yu's dad never drinks any other alcohol.
He only drinks Moutai.
- Waiter, give us a bottle of Moutai. - Okay.
I understand.
Everyone, please help yourselves.
Qian Kuen's mom, was your ride here smooth?
Yes.
We came straight here after we got off the train.
Where you are staying tonight?
Have you booked a hotel?
We'll be staying for one night at the guest house next to the train station.
We'll be catching the train home tomorrow morning.
How can that be?
I'll tell my driver to book a hotel for you right now.
You guys don't come to Beijing often. You have to stay for a few days.
There's no need.
Mrs. Tang, you're too nice.
We have a lot of things to do at home. We have to get back.
I won't feel relaxed if I stay here.
Since you're here for our children's business
just stay for a few more days.
You can also have a good chat with your son.
Right, I heard that Qian Kuen lost his job a few days ago.
What?
Son, when did this happen? Why didn't we know?
It's not just you guys.
We only just found out from Mei Yu a few days ago.
I've already found a new job.
Mei Yu's friend probably introduced you to that job, right?
Shi Jiang.
I know Shi Jiang.
This is such a major issue.
You didn't discuss it with your wife but let an outsider solve it for you.
As a couple, you two aren't communicating.
How can everything be fine?
Your parents can't help you with this.
But you can come to us at least.
We can't get you a job
but we can at least get you a position at your father-in-law's company.
Sorry for troubling you.
This can't be counted as trouble. We didn't end up helping.
Also, Qian Kuen.
Your parents are just ordinary workers.
They were finally able to witness your success
but you didn't put any effort into your job.
You're making everyone worry about you.
I'm guessing that he didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you.
Enough, Mom.
Since everyone is here today, let's talk about the business between Mei Yu and me.
What is there to talk about?
Isn't it obvious who's right and who's wrong?
What is there to talk about?
Mr. Tang, cheers.
I apologize to you on behalf of my son.
You guys are generous people, please bear with him.
Come on.
I'll drink first.
Tang Mei Yu
if you have something to say, just say it. Let's not trouble our parents. Okay?
What do you mean?
Was I the one who made everyone upset?
Do you think there's a need for this?
Right
why don't you just run away from home again?
Qian Kuen, I really can't stand this attitude of yours.
Whose fault is it?
This may sound a little nasty.
Mei Yu is too good for you, isn't she?
You and Mei Yu got married so quickly.
We didn't even ask you to pay a penny, right?
But now you're testing our limits. You've gotten yourself a mistress.
This may sound a little nasty, but are you capable enough?
Have you earned enough money?
It's not what you guys are thinking.
You idiot!
Why are you so shameless?
Qian Kuen, what did you promise us back then?
You promised us that you would treat Mei Yu well after the marriage.
You wouldn't let her suffer.
But what have you done?
To be honest
when Mei Yu called us that night
after we found out about this, we were extremely angry.
You've let us down, you know?
You little bastard! You're not a human!
Mei Yu is too good for you.
But you still cheated on her. Are you even human?
Stop talking.
Okay.
Tang Mei Yu, tell me, what is it that you want?
Today, in front of my mom, my dad, your mom, and your dad
I just want to know who that woman is.
You just had to make things this extreme?
Didn't you ask me what I wanted?
I just want to know who she is!
Qian Kuen, to be honest
when you and Mei Yu were going to get married, I was strongly against it.
Mei Yu told me you treated her well.
She felt confident when she was with you.
Mei Yu's dad also told me that it was okay that you were not rich.
What's important is that you're a good man.
You two can see for yourselves.
Mei Yu is at home by herself looking after the baby.
Luckily, we went over to take care of her. He doesn't even care at all.
Get up. Get up!
Kneel down.
Why should I kneel?
- Kneel down! - Why should I kneel?
You're talking back to me?
What are you doing?
Why did you hit him?
What was the point of that?
Dad, Mom, cheers.
- Where did you come from? - Heilongjiang.
- What do your parents do? - They're workers.
- How many people are in your family? - Three.
Then what's your job?
Uncle, I'm the legal adviser for a listed company.
Do you have a house?
No.
What about a car?
Auntie this is my plan.
I'm planning to buy a house first, then a car.
You don't have a house or a car.
How are you going to marry Mei Yu?
This many sound a little nasty.
Mei Yu is too good for you, isn't she?
You've let us down!
You're not even human!
Mei Yu is too good for you.
Thank you for coming. Have a nice day.
Mr. Tang, this is all my son's fault.
If he doesn't change his mind, I'll beat him up.
- Mr. and Mrs. Tang, sorry. - That's enough.
- This is all my son's fault. - Yes.
[Examination Results]
Doctor, everything is fine, right?
Yes. He just has a little inflammation.
He doesn't have cancer, right?
He doesn't. He's miles away from cancer.
I'll give you some antibiotics.
And avoid eating heavy food.
But why do I always have a stomachache?
A stomachache equals cancer?
Don't worry.
- You scared me. - I know right.
Hurry and grab it.
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you.
- We'll be leaving then. - Let's go.
Thank you.
I feel as light as a feather now.
You're as light as a feather now?
What about a while ago?
Men are so weak.
When they encounter problems, all they do is
write their will and divide their property.
- Were you planning your funeral? - No.
Get over it. You two can stop laughing at each other.
Did you forget, when you found out a few days ago you...
- Exactly. - You were petrified.
Even though I appear to have a smile on my face these days
but in actual fact, I'm just forcing a smile.
Oh, yes.
I haven't been able to sleep properly for many nights.
Yes. It hasn't been easy for you, Mom.
You know what? Dad, you really have to treat Mom to a huge meal.
- Sure. - You scared her to death.
- I'll certainly treat her. - And me.
Okay, I'll treat you too.
We'll have a huge meal, then we'll go karaoke. Okay?
Karaoke would be great. I'm going.
I'm standing in the strong wind.
Luo Wei, let me ask you something.
I was originally scared to ask you.
But now that we know you're fine, I'm not scared to ask anymore.
Go ahead.
Why did you want to go to Hainan all of a sudden?
Li Li, we don't have any relatives in Hainan. Right?
Do we have any?
Were you planning to go with someone?
Who would I go with?
Also, what dreams did you want to fulfill over there?
Also, as Chi Hai Dong said
do you have any wishes that have not yet come true in Hainan?
Look at her. I'm telling you, there's nothing.
I just heard from others that Hainan's atmosphere and air quality is great.
- It's especially great for residing. - Yes.
Who said that?
Many people from our group have been there before.
The director, Yang, and Xie. Your Auntie Qin has been there many times.
She even said she wants to buy a house over there. It's true.
Why are you still thinking about Xiao Qin?
When you were ill, even at your most crucial moment
you were still thinking about Xiao Qin. Right?
Do you want to go to Hainan with Xiao Qin?
No. Li Li, look.
What did you want to do? Get buried in the sea?
Why are saying these things in front of our daughter?
If you can't be with her when you're alive, at least you can be with her in death.
What are you saying?
If your blood pressure gets high, you'll have to visit the hospital again.
Seriously. This was meant to be a happy occasion.
All right, Dad. Now you know what happiness followed by sadness means.
- No. - Let's go, Mom.
Li Li, it's been so many years.
Do you think your mom has mental problems?
You'd better shut up.
Give Chi Hai Dong a call.
Why should I call him?
Tell your dad to use his money and treat us lunch.
That's right.
You should give him a call later.
He has helped us with a lot.
Let's not invite an outsider to our family dinner.
Look at you. Are you going to call him? If not, I'll do it.
You call him then.
Look at that child.
I'm not trying to bring you down
but it was really stupid of you to get your parents to talk to Cao Qian Kuen.
It took me a long time to come up with that strategy.
Originally, I just wanted to get Cao Qian Kuen to come.
As long as he was willing to apologize to me in front of our parents
I'd pretend that nothing happened and this issue would be over.
How could he...
I really didn't know things would turn out like this.
All I can say is, a wish is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
When you were getting married, you didn't even invite your parents.
Now you're thinking of your parents?
Your mom looks down on Cao Qian Kuen.
Now that she's upset, of course she would scold him.
I'm also upset. Why don't you think about me?
I don't know what to do either.
I'll just go with the flow.
Go with what flow?
When rabbits get upset, they also bite.
Cao Qian Kuen is someone full of pride.
He also really respects his parents.
What you've done is like stabbing him in the eye.
If you really piss him off, he'll actually want to divorce you.
Where would Cao Qian Kuen go?
You two should have a good chat.
Let's get divorced.
Other than Chi Hai Dong, does he have any other good friends?
What are you looking at?
Who messaged you?
Show me. Show me.
As I suspected.
You don't need to reply to him now.
He's angry right now so he's just being irrational.
Let's talk about how we should handle this.
- You sent it? - I sent it.
Then I can't advise you anymore.
You don't need to advise me.
It's your family after all. You chose your own wife.
I've already said everything I needed to say.
I've fulfilled my responsibility as a friend.
Are we friends?
Of course.
If we're friends, can you help me by being my divorce lawyer?
Help me draft a divorce agreement.
I don't care if you send it yourself or if you send it via the delivery.
Tang Mei Yu must receive it.
I don't have any other requirements. I'll leave with nothing.
This is what you're thinking. You don't know what she's thinking.
What if Tang Mei Yu doesn't want to get a divorce?
Why not?
Why should we not get a divorce just because she doesn't want to?
You don't know what happened that night.
It's fine that her parents were scolding me
but my parents are old now and they received the same treatment.
What right did they have?
It's not easy for two families to get together.
As a son-in-law, couldn't you have attempted to mediate?
Did I not? I tried to mediate.
There was nothing I could do. I was exhausted.
I didn't want to continue mediating, okay?
What did I do wrong?
All I did was gather both our parents.
We just ate dinner together.
What I did might have been a little inappropriate.
Was it just because of that?
He doesn't want our family anymore.
- He doesn't want our baby? - No.
He said he wants to get a divorce.
He was just bullshitting. Don't get angry.
Sit down.
Your health is the most important.
You can only solve problems if you calm down first.
He wants a divorce? Me too! Let's get a divorce.
Tell him we'll do a divorce agreement.
Take on this case for me.
I'm a lawyer but I'm also friends with both of you.
- How can I take this case? - But you can't not take a side.
I'm telling you Luo Li, you are a friend to both of us.
But you're my best friend first.
- You have to be on my side. - That's right.
But there's no need to elevate it to this extent yet. Right?
There's still room for discussion.
What are you doing?
Don't reply to his message.
Tang Mei Yu, listen to me.
- I replied. - What did you say?
I agree.
- She agreed. - She agreed?
Hello, Uncle.
Really?
See, I told you you were scaring yourself.
Yeah.
That's a must. We must have huge feast.
Tell me when you're free in the next couple couple of days.
How about today?
- I'll treat you. - Okay.
I'll talk to them about it and I'll get back to you later.
Okay.
All right, Buddy.
I'll see you soon.
First 'Uncle' and then 'Buddy'. Who was that?
Luo Li's dad.
We're going out to eat. Let's go together.
I'm not in the mood.
Why are you dawdling? Hurry up.
There's still time.
The best thing you've done lately is buying this toothpaste.
It's really good.
- What? - Look at my teeth.
What are you going to wear?
Anything. I'll wear whatever you want me to.
This is an important event. We have to be serious.
We have to thank Hai Dong and then we can go home.
Okay.
Brushing your teeth once will whiten them.
- You can wear this one. - Okay.
We'll buy a few boxes of this before we leave.
Let me have a look.
I'll pack this up.
Let's go. Where's my bag?
- It's over there. - How does this look?
Good.
Let's not talk about the children's business.
We'll say what we have to, but don't say anything we shouldn't be mentioning.
Who am I, Li Chuen Hua?
Everything I do is right on point.
How about I mention it? Let's cooperate.
Is it that serious?
Where's your sword?
- I forgot it. - Go and grab it then.
Next time.
Are you reluctant again?
What would I be reluctant about? Wait for me, I'll go get it.
Don't be dishonest. How many glasses did we say we'd each have?
How many glasses have we had? Quick.
What are you doing?
You're not allowed to eat food.
Okay, come on, the second one.
Choose another key.
Cheers.
Um... let's not sing anymore. Okay?
Let me tell you something. Li Li, sit down.
Luo Wei, sit down.
Remember?
Oh, right.
Let's not sing anymore.
Okay, stop.
- You can perform later. - I'm not done yet.
Li Li. Everyone, get back to your seats. Let's talk about serious matters.
- Come on. - Hurry. You can sing later.
Come on, my daughter.
Put down the microphone and sit down.
No one is allowed to talk anymore.
Hai Dong, you can eat later.
Listen to what she has to say.
The first thing is about Mr. Luo.
After going through the hospital's thorough examinations
and eliminating any serious illnesses
he's better now.
He doesn't have stomachaches anymore.
Round of applause.
Cheers.
Come on.
Wishing my mom and dad a long life ahead.
Have you drunk it all yet?
- There's still a second thing. - The second thing.
Mr. Luo has made a major decision.
I've decided to follow Mr. Luo and roam around the world with him.
- Oh my Gosh. - We're just traveling.
Mom, you're so cruel.
It's okay if you abandon me but how can you abandon your female viewers?
There's also a bunch male viewers.
Oh my gosh.
There are many regrets in life.
There are many viewers but your dad only has one wife.
I'm about to cry.
Come on.
To roaming around the world.
Okay, put down your glasses.
Let's make the third announcement.
Eat.
Can you not talk?
There are a few things I want you to do.
Mom has never worried about your career.
You've always been an ambitious person.
As for your daily life, I don't need to worry about that either.
I just have a few things to ask from you regarding your love life.
You have to learn from Mom.
When I was still young and dating your dad
I had my eyes wide open.
I knew what kind of man I should go after and who I shouldn't go after.
What are you doing?
Go on.
- Fine, I won't talk anymore. - No, go on.
Chi Hai Dong.
I'll also tell you a few things.
You have more experience than Li Li in relationships.
You're also older than her.
Mom, what are you trying to say?
I'm trying to say
Hai Dong you have to help Li Li with her choice of boyfriend.
Help me with what?
Didn't I tell you to not say anything inappropriate?
I know.
When you two go drinking together what do you call each other?
Buddy.
That's when we get drunk. Right?
Buddy. That means Li Li, you can call him Uncle Chi.
Call him Uncle Chi.
So Uncle Chi, you really have to help Luo Li out.
Don't worry, Auntie. I understand.
Auntie and Uncle. No, it should be Brother and Sister.
You guys can have a relaxing vacation. Cheers!
Come on, Uncle Chi. I'm counting on you for my marriage.
- All right, niece. - Wait a moment.
Can I say a few things?
Go ahead.
I have a few things to say.
- Dad. - What did I say wrong?
Calm down. Let's be nice.
I want to give this sword to Chi Hai Dong.
You're giving such a precious thing to him?
It's too precious. I don't want it, Uncle.
Hurry up and take it. My mom has always wanted to throw away that sword.
- Okay, give it to me then. - Li Li.
Don't worry about this. Stay away.
Li Li, come and sit over here.
Hai Dong, this sword has been with me for many years.
Today, I'm going to give it to you.
- I've always wanted this sword. - Really?
Since you've taken this sword, you must be good to Li Li.
Li Li. It's not that I'm complimenting her because I'm her father.
Ever since she was a child
she has been well educated, good at drawing, music, and dance.
There's nothing she can't do.
Of course, I'm not trying to tell you to treat her as well as I do.
Why? Because I'm her father.
Are you her father?
- I'm not her father. - Yeah, exactly.
What I'm asking from you, is that when you're with her
you must not be reasonable.
If you win an argument with her, she'll get angry.
If she gets angry, I'll get angry.
If you don't win an argument with her, you'll be embarrassed.
Buddy, if you're embarrassed, I'll be embarrassed.
Right?
So from today on, it doesn't matter whether you're my buddy or son-in-law
there's only one requirement and that's to treat Li Li well.
Uncle, I understand.
After taking this sword, you're my buddy.
- Yes. - Right?
Luo Wei, what are you saying?
Are you drunk, Dad?
- She's talking to you. - Wait a moment.
I have one more thing to say. You can sit down first.
In this period of time that I've been sick
there's one person that I really need to thank.
- Who is it? - Li Chuen Hua.
Li Chuen Hua.
Let me tell you, your mom said one thing.
She said, in her dictionary
there's only the word widow. Divorce is not a word.
Divorce is not a word.
She also said...
What did you say again?
When you're alive, you're mine.
When you're dead, you're still my dead man.
Listen, Buddy.
This is the most touching thing I've ever heard in my life.
That's fierce.
Mom and Dad. This song is for you two.
Wishing that the two of you can 'Walk Gracefully Once'.
Please, let's stand.
The world goes on and people walk by. There's always ups and downs in life.
My daughter sings well, doesn't she?
Does it sound good?
It sounds extremely good.
The world is complex but we are deeply in love.
Everything comes to an end.
So let's get partly drunk but remain partly sober.
At least I have you in my dreams.
Attorney Pan, long time no see.
So you're here. No wonder I didn't see you at the front desk.
Are you looking for Attorney Chi?
Attorney Feng.
Attorney Feng? He's not here yet.
Tell me where his room is. I'll wait for him there.
- I'll take you there. - You're too nice.
I'm familiar with this place. Where is his room?
- Go to meeting room number three. - Okay.
- You've become prettier. - Thanks.
You're going to use a recorder?
That's not a good idea, it's too sensitive. He'll be weary.
Do you think I'm stupid? It's not like I'm going to put it on the table.
Sit.
Attorney Pan?
Why are you here?
I have an appointment with Attorney Feng.
Sorry, your appointment is in room four. Room four is next door.
Is this your girlfriend?
Um... my assistant.
I'm going to discuss some matters.
Okay. Then we'll move to another room.
Please have a seat, come in.
- Attorney Chi, I'll get you some water. - Okay.
What should we do with our recorder?
Calm down. I'm familiar with this place.
Then why did you go into the wrong room?
Attorney Feng.
Hello. Sorry for making you wait.
- It's fine. Please have a seat. - Okay.
Do you think we can negotiate with him?
There are only two situations in which the negotiation wouldn't work.
One, he's not happy with the money. Two, he thinks he's losing his pride.
As long it isn't either of those, negotiation will work.
Then do you have any questions for me?
Does your husband know you want to get a divorce?
He... doesn't know yet.
We haven't been living together for six or seven years.
Normally, we don't see each other.
We go on with our own lives.
I give him some money every year that goes straight to his card.
He can do whatever he wants with it.
That's the situation.
Are you wondering why we haven't gotten a divorce all this time?
I'm too busy.
You don't believe me?
I believe you.
Not getting a divorce because I'm too busy.
Even I find that excuse far-fetched.
Ms. Tian, if you hire a lawyer you have to trust your lawyer completely.
Otherwise, there's no point in hiring a lawyer.
Even to this day, many people think I relied on him.
But actually, I didn't.
My Father is only a few years older than him.
It's true that I loved him back then.
I married him despite the objections from my parents, friends, and everyone else.
Not long after our marriage, we started having disagreements.
He wanted me to accompany him every day.
Have a drink and play mahjong with his friends.
I didn't want to.
I was only in my twenties.
It's okay to live like that for a few days.
But I couldn't stand it for more than a few days.
How could I imagine living like that for a lifetime?
During that period of time, we kept arguing.
There was even a period of time where I started to get depressed.
And then one day, he suddenly said
he'd give me one year to do whatever I wanted to do.
I promised him that after one year
I would live peacefully with him and not mess around.
One year later, I told him that my company was going to be listed.
He said, okay.
He actually said it was okay.
And then it dragged on, year after year.
The longer it dragged on, the more I felt bad suggesting a divorce.
When I met him, I was 22 and he was 45.
At that time, he was so charming. No one could stop me from loving him.
Many of his friends also told him
that I was after his money and social prestige.
How is that possible?
He actually wasn't even that rich.
He was an author.
You can calculate how much a book royalty is.
And he only writes one book every few years.
Social prestige is also nothing.
He doesn't even have as many fans as a singer.
During these six or seven years, how many times did you contact each other?
