[Divorce Lawyers]
Episode 44
Why did you keep ringing my doorbell?
You're not going to leave again, are you?
I'm not sure. What if my landlord increases my rent?
- Give me your landlord's number. - Why?
I felt terrible after you moved out.
I'll buy your apartment.
Luo Li.
How come it seems that once a romantic relationship has begun...
there's always a tragic ending?
Don't be so pessimistic.
I'm not being pessimistic.
I just feel that I've been tricked again.
After you moved back this time
you didn't force me to get married
but except when I'm sleeping and eating
look at all the housework that I'm doing.
Stop complaining, I'll come and give you a hand real soon.
I'm putting on my housework outfit.
That's what you always say.
How long does it take you to clean the floor?
Be patient.
I had to put on the right clothes for cleaning the floor.
Why would you need to get changed to clean the floor?
Dear Master, how would you like me to clean your floor?
Chi Hai Dong...
- Who's at my door? - It's my door.
How do you know?
- No excuses. - Just ignore it.
Someone's really knocking on my door.
- Who can it be? - Maybe AK's back.
What?
Chi Hai Dong, have you seen Jiao Yan Yan?
Put on your clothes. You can't find Jiao Yan Yan?
- Did she call you? - Did you have a fight?
Yeah, we did. Listen, I can't find her.
I don't know where she's gone and she's pregnant, so...
Lower your voice, and close the door.
Jiao Yan Yan's pregnant?
Then why were you fighting?
- What are you guys up to? - It's for her drama class.
- Yeah, I'm playing a maid. - Yeah, right.
You should call her friends.
Have you tried calling Tang Mei Yu?
Of course I have, but she hasn't heard from Yan Yan.
Then, where do you two usually go?
Nowhere. We usually just stay at home.
As you know, all she ever does is shop.
But all the shops are closed now.
Where did she usually go when you were together?
It's been a long time.
She usually went to her friend's bar or a karaoke bar.
- Where's that? - San Li Tuen.
- Do you have their numbers? - No.
Then come with me.
- Luo Li, is that okay? - Go on.
- Okay. - Sorry about this.
Hurry, I'll wait for you outside.
- Come back soon. - Okay, my scarf.
- I'll be waiting. - You're the best.
- Welcome. - Hello, didn't this use to be a bar?
- I'm not sure. - Thank you.
Yue Qun, let's go.
Yue Qun, go home.
Maybe her phone's dead so she's gone home.
I just called our home number, but she didn't pick up.
- What if she forgot her key? - Go back and have a look.
All right, I'm going.
I'm already at the door.
What happened?
Come on, let's go inside.
Come on, don't cry.
Master, want to know why my breath smells so fresh today?
Because I used this blue toothpaste.
I thought he was already at the door.
Hello, where are you?
Jiao Yan Yan's at my place.
What? I thought she'd gone home.
Yue Qun hit her again and she can't stop crying.
But what does that have to do with you?
You're not a marriage counselor.
I didn't ask her to come.
Why don't you talk to her?
No, I've been waiting for you all night.
Make sure you come here once you're done comforting your ex-wife.
You have to come over. Calm down!
What's going on over there?
Hello?
How dare you do that in my presence?
Let go of me, Chi Hai Dong.
- Chi Hai Dong, what's going on? - Just let me die.
She wants to jump, help me!
- Let go! - Calm down, okay?
- What are you doing? - No, Jiao Yan Yan!
Jiao Yan Yan. Jiao Yan Yan.
Even if you want to die
you can't take your baby with you.
Calm down, okay?
Come on, sit down.
I never thought that you'd be my very first master.
Don't just stand there, go wash the dishes.
Okay, I'll go and clean up your house.
Eat something.
That's all he has in the fridge.
I don't feel like eating.
You might not want to eat but your baby might be hungry.
It says in the books that even though your baby is very small now
he can feel everything.
So he can feel all of your pain and sorrow.
If his mother doesn't give him enough love and care now
then he'll place all his love on his other half after he grows up.
Eat something. Don't be upset.
I know what you're trying to say.
You're just trying to lecture me
for relying on others all the time.
But that's not how I feel at all.
Luo Li, do you really think I'm asking too much?
All I want is a warm and happy family.
What's so hard about that?
After I married Chi Hai Dong
he was always so busy
that he never had time to care about me.
Then I met Yue Qun.
I thought he'd love me and spend time with me.
But I didn't know what a bastard he really is.
He beats me up all the time.
Even after I got pregnant
he still hit me.
Why do I have such a sad life?
Yan Yan, I know Yue Qun's a bastard.
Since you asked me whether you're asking too much
I'll give you an honest answer.
Not at all.
But you're asking too much from others and too little from yourself.
You always blame others when something goes wrong in your life.
You also like building your happiness upon other people's suffering.
You must realize that you're responsible for making your own choices.
No one's ever forced you to do anything.
That also includes the baby inside you.
You were the one who chose to bring him into this world.
So you must be responsible for him.
You must love him, look after him
and watch him grow up.
You can't let him follow in your footsteps.
You must give him a happy future.
But...
it's easier said than done.
Luo Li, I'm not you.
I'm not as smart and understanding as you are.
Look at me.
I can't do anything.
I'm always so silly and stupid
that I can never do anything right.
How am I supposed to look after my child?
How can I protect him?
I know you all hate me and find me annoying.
That's why you all hide from me.
Yan Yan, you're not silly at all.
You're also not as stupid as you think you are.
You're also very pretty.
You're smart, outgoing
gentle
and young.
You still have a long way ahead of you.
You're about to become a mother.
That's the greatest job in the world.
You must learn to be independent with your emotions and your everyday life.
You must be a role model for your child.
Do you really mean that?
Of course.
Do you really think I'm pretty?
Very pretty.
Luo Li, you don't hate me anymore?
To be honest, after you trashed my place
I hated you to death.
Actually
I've been wanting to apologize to you
for trashing your place
for yelling at you at the car dealership
and for framing Chi Hai Dong at my wedding.
I really hate myself for having done all that.
I regretted it as soon as I did it.
I really wanted to say sorry.
But I was worried that you'd think of me as pretentious.
Luo Li.
I never thought you were that kind and forgiving.
You actually don't hate me at all.
Can I officially apologize to you now?
Will you forgive me?
A sincere apology is never too late.
I know that you were once very much in love with Hai Dong
and that you once had a happy life together.
But that's already in the past.
Now, I'm the one who's in his life.
Everyone's happiness is hard earned.
So we'll do anything to protect it.
I'm no exception.
I hope that whatever problems you may have in the future
you won't go to Chi Hai Dong again.
You can come talk to us, okay?
Okay, Luo Li.
I'll listen to you.
From now on
I'm going to become a better person.
For the sake of my child
I'm going to be an exceptional woman as well as a great mom.
Actually I always thought that you're more suitable for Chi Hai Dong than I was.
Because you have a lot of things that I don't have.
Except that outfit. I've got one too.
But mine looks better.
Mine came with rabbit ears. It's really pretty.
Luo Li, you better take it off quickly.
In case Chi Hai Dong gets too excited.
It's okay, that's exactly what I'm going for.
What do you think?
I thought it was going to be an engagement ring.
Don't be so old-fashioned.
A car's more practical than a ring, right?
I'd prefer to drive this car with a diamond ring on my finger.
It only comes with insurance, no ring.
Let's go for a drive.
- Can I come? - Sure, come on.
Okay, thanks.
Don't move.
That's enough. Did you really have to take photos of the car and our food?
You won't get it.
All pretty girls take photos before they eat.
We won Tian Xiang Mei's case easily as soon as we partnered up.
How do you feel about that?
My feeling is that you haven't paid me yet.
What do you mean?
You said you'd give me 60 percent of the legal fee that she paid you.
You haven't forgotten, have you?
My memory's not that bad.
- I remember it was 50 percent. - Fine, 50 percent.
Remember to transfer me the money tomorrow morning.
- You got me again. - I'm really sly, right?
I learned it from you.
She only paid me the first installment.
I'll give you your share after I get her full payment.
I'd like to talk to you about something.
What is it?
Remember the outfit that you wore when you met up with Hong Tao?
Can you wear it for me tonight?
Master Chi, I'll put it on after you transfer the money into my account.
You're so mean.
It's my mom.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Li Li.
Why are you guys out so late?
You saw my status again. I'm eating.
No, I'm not that familiar with it.
But your dad is, he wants to speak to you.
Get to the point.
Li Li, so how have you been?
Hang on, it's my dad.
Hello, Uncle Luo.
It's Chi Hai Dong.
Hi, Hai Dong.
Listen.
I saw a photo of a car on Li Li's Facebook.
She said it's a present from a friend.
Who'd give her such a huge present?
It's not really a present.
Because Li Li and I worked together...
and won a case.
So it's actually our car.
I see.
Hey.
Hai Dong.
I knew the car was from you.
But Uncle Luo didn't believe me.
Listen.
Uncle Luo said he wants to come to Beijing again.
Once we've confirmed the dates
we'll book our tickets and come visit you.
- We'll let you know. - Really? That's great.
Welcome...
Your parents are coming to Beijing.
Dad, are you coming to Beijing with Mom?
Okay, just let us know.
I'll get Hai Dong to pick you up in his new car.
Okay, you know what?
Your dad will be so excited to see your new car.
- All right, bye. - Okay, bye.
What? Don't you want to see my parents?
I don't mind seeing your dad.
- My mom's not that bad. - Let's eat.
Darling, he even bought her a car.
Their relationship must be very stable now.
Like I said, I trust my daughter.
Why did you have to worry at all?
Let's make sure that they get married when we go this time.
What are you doing?
Let's pick a date.
I thought you said I was impatient.
Who's the impatient one now?
So, how long will your parents be here?
Not very long, the longest they've ever stayed was two weeks.
Two weeks?
Don't worry.
If they're still here after one week
then let's tell them that we need to go on our honeymoon.
That's like a grand show.
I told you, it's just an emergency plan.
What if your parents want to stay here until we have children?
That won't happen.
Just make sure you put on a good show this time.
You know what a good actor I am, right?
But people aren't into family dramas anymore.
Actors also don't earn as much now.
If I say the wrong line
what if you have my role replaced?
It's possible, market competition can be very cruel.
- Just do your best. - Okay.
I might even win an Oscar.
- Like it, Dad? - It's not bad.
Uncle, you look much better after your holiday.
Don't even mention it again.
Hai Dong, did you take out a car loan or buy it outright?
- He bought it outright. - I was asking Hai Dong.
Outright, Auntie.
That's good.
Loans can be quite a burden.
- That's not a problem at all. - That's it.
- What about a house? - We want to buy one overseas.
- It's cheaper overseas. - I was asking Hai Dong.
Hai Dong.
Yeah, once we have time we'll go and have a look.
You should. You can't keep renting after you get married, right?
Dad, how long are you staying this time?
It's up to your mom. Ask her.
I thought you already picked an auspicious day.
- When was it? - Next Friday.
Yeah, next Friday.
Once you get your marriage certificate
then we'll go back.
He's so worried about his plants.
But I'm sure they'll be just fine.
So you're only staying for ten days?
Why don't you stay a bit longer?
- Hai Dong. - Keep your eyes on the road.
You scared me.
Be careful.
He needs a bit of practice.
Okay, what do you think?
Looks delicious.
Dinner is served.
- Looks great. - You're so lucky.
See what you think. Watch your hand.
Make sure you do your best.
My dad hasn't cooked for years.
- His cooking tastes terrible. - Don't worry, we get along fine.
- I'll do my best. - You can go wash your hands now.
- Sure. - Okay.
Listen, don't be too forceful.
Just go with the flow, okay?
I know what I'm doing.
- Does this go with the egg? - Yeah.
Give them to me.
Hurry.
Hai Dong, eat more.
Uncle Luo's cooking might not be very good
but he put a lot of effort into it.
It's the thought that counts, thank you.
- Come on. - Cheers.
It's very sour.
Hai Dong, I know you like to drink red wine.
So I asked my friend to bring this back from France.
- You like it? - He doesn't like red wine.
He likes white wine.
This red wine...
- Cheers, Uncle. - But is it good?
- It is. - See, he likes it.
He just doesn't want to upset you.
Listen, do you remember the time
when we had dinner just before we went on our holiday?
- When I gave you that sword. - Yeah.
I said Chi Hai Dong will either become my son-in-law
or my good friend.
Either way, he'll still be nice to Luo Li.
See?
Son-in-law.
- So I was wrong, okay? - Yes, you were.
Let's drink to that.
I'll drink with you, Auntie.
So, when are you going to get your marriage certificate?
We've been really busy lately.
We want to pick an auspicious day to do that, right?
You do what you have to do.
The reason we came this time is to share your workload.
- All you need is one day... - No, just one hour.
Yeah, one hour. You get your certificate.
Then we'll take care of the rest.
Listen, marriage certificates are really nice nowadays.
- Unlike ours back then. - That was ages ago.
Let's talk about your wedding.
Would you prefer a Chinese or Western style wedding?
Will you marry me? Yes, I do.
It's up to them.
Dad, if we don't have time to get the certificate
why would we have time for a wedding?
What do you mean you don't have time, Li Li?
You're already living together.
If you don't get married, what will people think?
Mom, why do you always force people to do things your way?
Why don't you have time to get married?
I just don't.
- Not even an hour to get the certificate? - Auntie...
It's actually not such a big deal.
Well...
let me explain Luo Li's thinking.
If I get married now
it'll be my second marriage, right?
But for Luo Li
it'll be her first time.
So, if we do something very casual
it would be fine with me, I could get it done tomorrow
and we'd all be happy.
But what about Luo Li?
It wouldn't be fair for her.
Hear that?
What Hai Dong means is that he wants to make their wedding very grand
because it's very important. Right?
- Yeah. - That's it.
- Come on. - Cheers.
Your mom's always so impatient with everything.
- Let's drink. - It's not that I'm impatient.
This time
after you get your marriage certificate
and have your wedding
then we'll go back home.
That's right. Then we won't have to worry about her anymore.
Is it that bad?
I'm a vegetarian.
Then...
Try my fish.
You're really moving out.
Love is always more important to some people than I am.
Miss Tang Mei Yu.
Are you going back to being a proud housewife again?
That's right.
Here's my advice for you.
Love your husband, but you must also love yourself.
It's always good to give each other space.
I know.
If you two aren't working anymore
how are you going to raise your child?
Don't worry, they have ten million.
But it'll still get used up one day.
Qian Kuen is going to start his own business.
He took some photos of our baby and uploaded them to the internet.
You wouldn't believe how many people were interested in our photos.
So Qian Kuen thought it was a great business opportunity.
He set up a website
to provide a photography service for babies.
Are you going to be the lighting person?
She just wants to support her husband, right?
Then they can work together.
Perhaps you two should also give it a try.
Hai Dong, why don't you move your office here?
This way, Luo Li won't be alone.
You can also help with the heavy work around the office.
What a good idea.
I don't think that's necessary, right?
Hang on.
Since my office's monthly expenses are actually quite high
perhaps we should consider Mei Yu's suggestion.
You should move out of your office.
Why would you need such a big, expensive office
when you don't have many clients at all?
I'd be happy to take you into my office.
We can expand our firm.
We might even become a listed company.
- Are you serious? - Of course, Hai Dong.
Just marry her and you'll become a shareholder.
Exactly.
Let me think about it.
Who's a shareholder?
Who?
Are you two going to become partners?
We didn't get that far.
I heard you're going to start your own business.
No, my son's the biggest earner in our family now.
After I posted my son's photos to the internet
a lot of advertising companies wanted to use him in their ads.
Can you believe that he's already making money?
But look how exhausted our son is.
Good for him.
- Need a hand? - It's fine.
- How're you two doing? - Still the same.
- But what about your partnership? - To hell with that.
Do you think that Luo Li seems to have lost her intelligence lately?
The reason I got back together with her
was because
I thought neither of us expected a guaranteed future.
But now I don't think that's the case at all.
A few days ago she said her parents were coming.
She asked me to lie to her parents.
And to put on a show for them.
But I think it's getting a little too serious.
Last night her parents said they won't go back
until we get our marriage certificate.
Now she wants to merge our firms.
I feel as if I'm slowly falling into her trap.
It's not such a bad thing, is it?
Of course it's bad.
I feel like there's no turning back.
If they keep forcing me like this...
then I'll just have to tell them the truth.
Are you sure?
- Yeah, definitely. - Sure, you do that.
I'll go look for my wife.
Here we are, please come inside.
- It's very nice. - It is.
It's a little small but this is a great location.
- It's not that small. - Have a seat.
- Where's Chuen Hua? - She's here.
Chuen Hua...
Here you are.
- Did you find us okay? - Sure.
I bumped into Luo as soon as I got off the bus.
You look much younger now.
No, I don't. You do.
Luo, don't you reckon?
Look how smooth your skin is.
You look well.
I guess that's because you're younger than me.
- Is that right, Luo? - Yeah...
- Go get us some water. - Sure, water.
Xiao Qin, have some water.
Thank you.
- Sit down... - No, you guys can talk.
You're welcome to join us.
- Where's Li Li? - She's working.
But today is Sunday.
This is Beijing, the capital of China.
It's not just a small town.
- People are really busy here. - Yeah, it's certainly different.
Oh yeah.
- Here you go. - An invitation?
Make sure you come.
Look, read it.
- There's no need for red envelopes. - No, that'd be rude.
- Exactly. - Or else I won't invite you.
You know what? Qin Ling's fiancee's not just an ordinary girl.
She's from a really wealthy family.
For their wedding in Beijing they've already booked a five star hotel.
Qin Ling said he prefers Beijing girls
because they're not just after your car, your house, and your money.
- Li Li never asked for that. - Really? She didn't?
Why would we want other people's money?
We already have too much money in our retirement account.
- Exactly. - I guess you're right.
Nowadays, you're lucky if your children don't ask you
to buy a house and a car for them.
I still remember how worried you were about Luo Li being single.
But she's engaged now.
Luo's the one who was worried.
- So what does your son-in-law do? - A lawyer, same as Li Li.
So they have a lot in common.
I know.
He must be the guy who lives opposite Li Li, right?
Qin Ling told me they had something going on.
But when I told you, you didn't believe me.
Xiao Qin, you haven't changed at all, have you?
Did you really have to mention that?
It's already been ages since that happened.
Both our kids are about to get married.
Yeah, it's been ages. I'll shut up.
I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Chuen Hua, I saw you on TV again a few days ago.
You looked so pretty.
For the first few episodes
I was only a special guest.
But things have gotten better recently.
They've given me a special topic and, what did they call it?
They want her to host a... something entertainment show.
I really can't remember the name.
You can never remember anything about me.
All you can remember are things about other people, right?
So you're a famous TV host now.
No, I'm not.
I forgot to tell you.
My daughter-in-law's family owns a hotel chain.
They've got so many hotels.
If you need to book hotels you can call Qin Ling.
- It'll be for free. - Remember what you said.
- Not a problem. - Li Li and her fiance are lawyers.
Divorce lawyers.
You can call them if your kids get divorced.
- It'll be for free. - What are you saying?
They're just about to get married.
How ridiculous.
Don't you agree, Luo?
Luo, do you think I'm ridiculous?
Nine circles.
Five circles.
Three circles.
- Are you serious? - You won again?
Yan Yan.
Yan Yan!
Yue Qun.
Let's get divorced.
I've already drafted the divorce agreement.
If you have any questions
please talk to my divorce lawyer, Chi Hai Dong.
You don't have to look for me.
I don't want to see you.
