Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 5
Don't say anymore. I already told you it wasn't me.It was my husband who did it.
Let's not talk about whether or not you tried to stop him.
As a biological daughter, could you not come out of your house,
and hold an umbrella for an old person caught in the wind and rain?
I gave Fang Li a call, and she took away my father. I did my best
Did your best?
Taking care of one's parents is the responsibility of each and every child,
but you didn't. You kicked your father out of the house and pushed him to your elder sister.
You abandoned your father.
During the last year and a half of your father's lifetime,
you didn't stay by your father's side.
When he most needed your help, where were you, his biological daughter?
When his health deteriorated, and needed the support of family,
as the inheritor of most of his assets, where were you?
Did you already forget? This old man whom you cast aside,
when you couldn't even walk, he served you so many times.
This old man, when he hasn't even eaten yet,
each day, three meals, he would feed you.
How can you be so cold-hearted to such a loving father?
Your Honor,
I would like to point out something. Just now, when the plaintiff's lawyer was slandering the litigant, he used
the word "abandonment", it was very improper.
If I haven't guessed wrong, Lawyer Zheng Hao,
you are trying to use clause seven of the inheritance law as the legal ground
to prove that my client has abandoned her father.
Thus, her rights of inheritance should be stripped?
That's right. I'm using clause seven of the inheritance law.
I want to strip the non-filial daughter of her inheritance rights.
My extreme regrets. This clause was not included in your lawsuit.
I can immediately modify it.
Fine. Let's pretend that you have already revised your lawsuit.
I can't think of any reasons that this could be used as evidence for abandonment.
If you want to prove that there is abandonment, you need to have evidence.
Mr. Fang Tong Yu has already lost his ability to move.
He has also lost his source of income.
This point is incorrect.
Okay, let's say that after Fang Tong Yu's stroke,
he has already lost the ability to move. But don't forget that
Mr Fang has some retirement money for every month.
Right, right. My father's income cannot be used all by himself,
so... that's why she would be willing to bring my father over to her place,
and at the same time, take advantage of him.
Anyway, there is a truth that you cannot dispute...
on that windy and rainy day you kicked your father out of the house,
and for one year until he passed, you didn't take care of him.
You also didn't go with him once to the hospital.
You didn't eat one meal with him, and,of course, didn't even talk with him one time.
Fine. Lets say everything you said is true...
my lawyer has already said that this doesn't prove that I'm not filial.
It can't be proved that I abandoned my father.
Are you saying that your behavior, in the eyes of the law, didn't prove that you have abandoned him?
But your actions already violated a daughter's responsibilities,
and also violated all the promises you made to your father.
I didn't promise him anything.
Fang Yan, this is a court,
Can you say one more time that you never made any promise to your father?
I never did. No promises.
Your Honor. The litigant has made her statement.
I would like to request that Mr Fang be our witness and to testify.
Your Honor. Because Mr Fang is old and his hearing is not that good,
I would like to request that I can stand close to him while I ask questions.
Agreed
Hello,
Almost two years ago, that is August 8, 2012
Did you serve Mr. Fang Tong Yu and his daughter, Ms. Fang Yan?
Yes
At that time, they came to the notary's office to look for me
to notarize a will.
Then would you summarize the main points of the will?
The two of them came to the notary office.
Fang Tong Yu said he had done a will 1 1/2 years ago.
This time, he wanted a new will.
He said that his daughter wasn't treating him well,
and to protect himself so that he could to live in comfort for the rest of his life,
he wanted to add in the new will that his daughter follow three conditions,
before she could inherit his assets.
What were the three conditions?
#1, Daughter, Fang Yan, must live with her father, Fang Tong Yu
every day, and accompany him for dinner every day.
#2, daughter Fang Yan must occasionally talk with her father.
#3, daughter Fang Yan must accompany her father every week for checkup at the hospital,
to check his blood pressure. Because Fang Tong Yu has high blood pressure.
Thank you
Defendant, were there these three conditions?
Yes. It seems like there was.
Then, did you do any of them?
My father was taken by Fang Li.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it
Fang Yan, why didn't you tell us that there was a new will?
If you hide these, how can we help you win the case?
I was afraid that this would affect the case.
If you hide unfavorable evidence, does that mean it doesn't exist?
Then what should we do now?
The plaintiff will start attacking that you didn't fulfill any of these three conditions.
You will lose your rights to the inheritance.
Then does that mean I don't inherit anything?
They have the upper hand for the moment.
In order to win over us, they still have a difficult hurdle to go through.
What is that?
Your Honor. Based on our country's inheritance law,
to strip a person of the inheritance rights,
is a huge thing.
It is true that my client Fang Yan has these weak points.
But if she violated
the conditions in the will, and we did not let her inherit her father's property,
I believe that the second piece of evidence that the plaintiff just mentioned
is lacking in strong evidence.
You are saying that Fang Yan did not violate
the second will's three conditions?
But the defendant just admitted that she did not do so.
The will's conditions can be looked at from two directions, Lawyer Zheng Hao.
From one point of view, it is Fang Yan's father
From another point of view, it's Fang Yan. Even if she
didn't meet the conditions of the will
-it doesn't mean that the court would disqualify her from inheriting her father's assets-why?
Because none of us can say clearly if on that night
Fang Yan and her husband kicked Fang Tong Yu out of the house,
or if it was Fang Tong Yu who angrily left the house himself due to family disputes.
But there is one point, one point that we both agree on,
and that is on that day, it was Mr. Fang Tong Yu who
told Fang Yan to call Fang Li
to have Fang Li take him to her house to live.
So, we can reasonably say
Fang Tong Yu wanted to change his environment
and wanted to move to live with his elder daughter.
Your Honor,
in this situation, my client Fang Yan
had no chance to accomplish the tasks listed in the will.
And Fang Tong Yu didn't blame Fang Yan for violating it.
So we believe that ever since Fang Tong Yu moved to his eldest daugter's house
he exempted my client Fan Yan
from the tasked statements in the will.
Your Honor,
the plaintiff's counsel is just insisting something is just and reasonable when it is not.
Fang Tong Yu, to his unfilial daughter
was already very disappointed in her. Why would he exempt her?
Lawyer Zheng Hao. In law, you need evidence.
Do you have any evidence to prove
that Mr. Fang wanted to pursue his daughter's fulfillment of the contract?
They need to prove that your father
himself also admitted that you violated the three statements in the will.
But my father already passed away.
There is no evidence.
Lawyer Dai, I understand what you're saying.
I tell you, he forced me to call Fang Li to pick him up.
We only have this road to go,
but whether or not it works, I don't know.
Your Honor.
I have evidence that Mr. Fang Tong Yu
did not exempt his daughter from this responsibility.
Your Honor, I object to the plaintiff's new evidence.
It's Mr Fang's testimony.
Fang Tong Yu has already been deceased for half a year.
A dead person cannot testify in court.
This is the second piece of evidence.
This is Mr. Fang Tong Yu's last will.
In the will's first line it says,
"SInce my youngest daughter and her husband are unfilial
after my second stroke, they disowned me.
They said I was smelly,
and conspired about how to kick me out.
Your Honor. I object to the plaintiff lawyer's usage of the second evidence.
Because on the first day at the court on this law suit, we already proved
that this evidence can't be used in court.
Because in law, this part of the will
is not as valid as the one Feng Yan has.
Plaintiff, what are your views?
That's right
Evidence #2, if taken as a will,
is not as strong as one that's been notarized.
The court doesn't need to accept this, however you can't deny
that this is real testimony.
It shows Mr. Feng Tong Yu's heart felt mournful declaration before he past away.
This proves that his only biological daughter Fang Yan
in the last leg of her father's life
chose to betray her father
and at the same time
it can also prove that you, Ms Fang Yan,
violated the second condition of the new will.
You promised your father
to fulfill all of your obligations to him as a child.
That is the biggest breach of contract.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Ms Fang Yan,
It was your father who gave you life.
And under his care, you learned how to walk.
In your father's care, you finished your education.
Every time you were sick,
your father carried you to the hospital,
but when he becomes old
he becomes weak
you complained that he became a burden.
The most cruel is
that you hoped he would die sooner
so you could inherit his assets earlier.
Did you ever think about
how you treated your father... that your children
in the future will also treat you like that.
In any case
this case, whether won or lost
There is one thing that we can determine,
you have lost your most precious affection.
Even if you can inherit all the property,
you've already lost forever
your father's love for you.
We won. In the future, I am your apprentice.
Zheng Hao
Bo!
Congratulations
I apologize. I won again.
What do you mean again.
Before this case, when have you won against me?
There wasn't?
Don't worry. If there's a first, then there's a second and third.
Keep up the good work.
Got it. I'll be going now. Bye Bye
Bye Bye
Chairmain Zhong
Dai Bo. This kid is your friend?
Yup, my good friend.
How old is he?
About 26. Why?
Nothing, just asking,
let's go.
Zheng Ming, the materials you gave me,
I've looked at them.
Let me tell it to you this way...
This kind of case is really not worth it.
Let me ask you one more time.
Do you really want to file a lawsuit?
Yes, definitely!
My family's property cannot be given to an outsider.
Then I can tell you that your chance of winning isn't very high.
Why?
Zheng Hao isn't my father's biological son. He's a bastard.
I can tell that you are blind when it comes to law.
Let me tell you, according to the rules of China's inheritance law,
It doesn't matter if it's a biological child or an adopted child,
they both have the equal right of inheritance in court.
It doesn't matter if Zheng Hao is related by blood or not.
Your father's will clearly states
that this house is his. You can't take it.
I don't care about that.
You just need to help me win the case.
In court, prove that
Zheng Hao isn't my father's biological son.
Then the house will definitely be mine.
Okay. I'll try.
Don't try, you have to win the case.
Okay?
Okay, I'll do my best.
How's this?
This house's value should be ¥2,000,000.
Lawyer fees, ¥50,000.
Don't worry, as long as you deliver the lawsuit
to Zheng Hao, I will transfer the money to you immediately.
Deal.
It's for you.
-For what?-I want to give this to you
Why?
This time when I beat Dai Bo, more or less it's what you contributed.
Do you know what the prize money is for this case?
It's this much. (Six, hand signal) Our boss made a lot of money.
You ask the boss for bonus.
Of course. But he's still quite generous.
Gave us a ¥10,000 bonus
Hey, my friend brought this from Hong Kong
just came out
How can I take this, so precious
Don't be like that
I also have one myself
You promised me that if we won this case, you'd officially accept me as your assistant
Shouldn't we have a teacher and apprentice ceremony?
From the ¥10,000, after buying a gift
we still had some left over. I already told everyone
today, we're celebrating
I will give you the ceremony at the same time.
Master
- I'm warning you, don't stop me. - Dad.
Don't stop me.
Don't grab onto me
Dad, you are disturbing others from resting.
I have a lot
Don't stop me. I don't have much time left to live.
-What do I want this for?-Dad
Don't stop me. I don't want the money.
Dad.
You only have yourself to blame for this
For Zhang Yi Ling
you divorced my mother and even established a will
giving all your assets to them
but now that you are sick
where are they?
I gave it all to them?
I'm not even dead yet and she has gone overseas for sun tanning.
I need to change my will. Can't give them a penny
Hurry and call that lawyer called Zheng Hao to immediately come see me
Immediately
Calm down and get some rest
I want to change my will!
Okay, I'll call right now
Boss is looking for you
Boss, looking for me?
Go to Tong Ren hospital now. Li Xiao Ti wants to change his will.
Revise again?
But didn't he change it once already after surgery?
He is a wealthy person
Boss
can't I go tomorrow? I planned a staff dinner today
Tomorrow would cause a death
Right now he is goig crazy at the hospital
Let me tell you, if you aren't going now, we'll change the lawyer
Immediate go, and in the future, be on call
You can't bargain with me.
Hey
You can't just pretend you didn't see me?
Now I have to go to the hospital to help establish a new will
What can I do? Boss instructed me that it was very important.
Come with me
What are you doing? I can't go. The client is waiting for me in the room. The court case is starting tomorrow.
I go alone?
I recommend Tang Ning to go with you
She can't, she hasn't done this type of work
I can learn
Master
Hurry and go, before boss gets upset again
Sorry, everyone. I may not be able to go to the party today. I will buy you a meal on another day.
Let's reschedule for another day
- Okay. - Don't forget.
Boss Yu
As your lawyer, I need to remind you that a will is a big thing
I hope that you don't keep changing it
Don't tell me that type of stuff. I have my own reasons for revising it
I remember that the last time you established your will, you were with your girlfriend Zhang Yi Lin
You even said that you wanted to give her your assets because you love eat other
You even said that how a man proves that love is measured by how much you give her
Absolutely right
-How about now?-There's none
Zhang Yi Ling left with the will. She loved the money, not the man
How is that possible?
Boss Yu, what do you want to do?
I want to void that will
I want to establish a new one
Dan Dan, go outside. I will
discuss the new will with the lawyer
Dad, I am your biological daughter
What about it?
Li Dan, sorry, but because you are a beneficiary
Sorry, please leave first to avoid arousing suspicions.
Dan Dan said she hopes that I don't establish a will
She said that based on the inheritance law, when I'm dead, the money will go to her.
So Zhang Yi Ling, your girlfriend, wanted you to establish a will
that said in the future, your assets belong to her, right?
I had no choice
She gave birth to my son
Left me an heir[Note: Sons pass surnames down]
-What?-How can I not give it to her?
You two had a son?
Then why didn't you say so last time?
He has the rights to the inheritance too. Furthermore, it will be based on the inheritance law too.
Then, how much do I need to give them
Your daughter and son equally in half
This absolutely cannot happen
My son will be continuing my family blood line. He should get more.
How about this, give my son 2/3
Sure. It's your assets, so you decide
Then, you need to establish a new will
Record it.
-Please speak -Like this
I still have a few houses under my name.
I was thinking...
Hey.
Stop spacing out. Record this down.
Okay, we're done. We'll leave first. You take care of your father
Thank you. See you again
Hey, don't you think your attitude towards the client was not that great?
I despise the type of people who think they have some money
and then don't even know how many children they have
Waste my time
What's wrong? Still thinking about tonight's celebratory dinner?
Still celebrate?
After talking to the client, I'm reminded of my brother
I can't keep avoiding it. I have to find my mom
Actually, I don't think you have the need for a lawsuit
because the house, your brother can't obtain it
It's not for the house. It's to prove
that I am my father's biological son
Understand?
Tang Ye Corporation
Then it's a deal
Tomorrow 7 o'clock. Ke Ming and I will wait for you at the restaurant on top of the World Trade Center.
Okay, it's settled
You think you can convince Xia Yun?
Yes, absolutely yes
I will tell her like this: You have to show Ning the will
What can she do?
If we show her the will, you have to be prepared
to show her the agreement of share transfer Xia Yun signed as well.
-Why?-What do you mean why?
Because she won't believe that you and your brother signed an agreement
Wouldn't we be making a confession without duress?
What can we do?
Didn't you see? That time Dai Bo come to us
he beat around the bush and told us that
Ning doesn't believe that the agreement was real
-Then what do we do?-What to do
tell her the truth
Push all of it to her mother
Will Xia Yu admit to it?
Even if she doesn't, she has to
Even if we blame it all on her, it's not going overboard
Tomorrow night, I'll talk to Xia Yun
Thank you
Lawyer Zheng. Your brother Zheng Ming has issued you a lawsuit regarding the house.
The court has already received this lawsuit. It will take place next month.
I am his lawyer, Liang Yu
What is the meaning of this?
You should let the court issued the summon to me.
Yes. I am only passing on the message.
The summon from the court has already reached your home.
Let's celebrate your victory.
Hey, the case is over, can't you be a little happier?
Right now, my brother wants to sue me and says I'm not my father's son
You tell me if I can be happy
Alright, actually Zheng Ming can't win the case
I know, I also have father's will, I'm not scared of him
but he said I'm not part of the family, I'm not happy
Alright, why are you so agitated?
Let me tell you. I already asked around
The judge for this case is Zhou Tong.
So?
Zhou Tong is very impartial. If he presides over this case, you don't have to worry.
I am my father's son
This is a fact. I'm going to use this fact to state my case. It doesn't matter who is the judge
What, you are going to be your own lawyer?
You looking like this, are going to defend yourself?
I can't? I will take care of my own business
Let me tell you. Lawyer Zhong Ke Ming has a famous phrase
Doctors cannot operate on themselves
Lawyers cannot defend themselves
Because you are already emotionally involved in it. You'll lose reason
-My situation is not the same-What's not the same
Who can testify that I am my father's son?
You do know that your brother's lawyer is Liang Yu of Zhong Tong Law Office, right?
You think you can be his opponent?
Can you lose this case?
There's no way I'd lose
Aye, no need to speak. My problem doesn't require other people to help
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Aunt,
It's impossible to have your mother testify
Do you know know your mother's condition?
What happens if she can't handle the pressure?
The treatments would go to waste then.
But Aunt, I just want my mom to say something on my behalf
Then you have to consider your mother's health
After your father's passing, her health hasn't been recovered and Zheng Ming already cause her to go to the hospital
No way, can't let her go through that kind of thing again
How about this? I will speak with her calmly. I won't anger her
Is that okay?
Could you see it as being nice to your Mom?
Her current health
I'm afraid it will get worse
Then why don't you come with me to see her before you leave
Look
Your mother's condition is like this. Comes and goes
At night she can't sleep. In the morning, she sleeps all day
Anyways, with this condition, she can't testify
She can' take any more shocks.
Then I'll leave my mom to recover well
I won't bother her
My case
I'll take care of it
Good
Don't worry, your mother has me
Let's leave
What's wrong with you today?
I don't know what kind of curse my aunt has.
She won't let my mother testify
Your aunt is crucial. What's more important it your mom's attitude.
Leave it to me that your law firm will win.
I said that I don't need help
As long as we are still buddies, I will definitely help you.
The house isn't the important part
I just want to prove that I am my father's son
and stop that guy's mouth. Will you be able to do this?
If you can get my mother to testify
then the lawyer for my case, you can be it
You said it. Then I'll be your lawyer
-Okay-Let's go
Xiao Xue
How are you
I dreamt of the child again
The one with a birthmark
Sister, it was a dream
How can you wake after two minutes
Xiao Xue
This dream, I've had it several hundred times
It's been over twenty years and I still dream this dream
Do you remember or not?
I already told you many times
No, there is no child and there is no birthmark
Well, what can I remember
Then why am I continuously
dreaming of this child?
I can't remember anything except the child with a birthmark
Sister, this is something you created
Don't think much of it
I will ask a caretaker to prescribe you some medicine
Okay?
Dai Bo, why are you looking for me so urgently?
I saw Zheng Hao
I think we can both help him on this case
But I don't have a license yet
That's a good idea. If Zheng Hao is not there, it might be a little better.
Let's go
Aunt, how are you. I am Tang Ning who came last time
This is --
Oh, it's Dai Bo, Hao's good friend!
-We know each other-Last time, much thanks
Sit, sit. No problem, I should have
Aunt, the reason why we are here today --
No way, no
You are here. They are Hao Hao's good friend.
No problem, no problem
What is it? Ask away.
It's like this, aunt
Right now, Zheng Hao's older brother, Zheng Ming has already filed a law suit to the court.
Because of the house?
Right
Until the end
it's for money. It's hasn't been long since Zheng Yi Jian left us
and the two brothers are already in a lawsuit
Actually, this lawsuit isn't much of a case
Zheng Hao's father has a will, so he'll win
The only problem is that he doesn't think the house is important
the important part if whether or not his father is his biological father
His father is his father
He doesn't have any other father
-None!-Don't get excited
Slowly speak, slowly speak
Aunt, it's like this. We have one week left
-This case will--Don't speak. My sister will not appear in court
I know why you guys are here.
Do you want me to appear in court
to testify that Zheng Yi Jian is Hao's father?
Yes, aunt
If you can testify in court for Zheng Hao,
Zheng Hao's heart's know will untie.
Alright then, I'll go. I have to go
For my son's sake, I agree to go
Would Zheng Hao agree for you to be his lawyer?
We already agreed, he will sign the paper
Sign it. I'll be your lawyer
-My mother agreed?-Yup
Didn't you say that as long as I got your mother to testify, that I'm your lawyer?
This situation, you should also thank Tang Ning
Hurry and sign it
Okay, then from today
I am your lawyer and Tang Ning is my assistant
No, I want to be the assistant
Forget it, if you do it, you'll lose reason
I am your lawyer, so what I say goes
Let's leave, Assistant Tang
Don't worry

You want to investigate a will from 27 years ago?
This is my ID and this is the household register.
What is your relationship with the ancestor?
The ancestor is my father. His name is Tang Ji Ye.
This account holder's original owner
Please go straight to #8 reception room.
He passed away in 1998. I am his only daughter
Then when was his will notarized?
This is a bit complicated
Before my father passed, he was in a coma for ten years
From what I know, he had wrote this will early on when he was just getting sick.
At that time, I was in my mother's womb
And that should be in the 80s?
Around 1987
That is a bit troublesome. The files at those era
are not in computer yet. So they are all in paper format.
Then would it be difficult to find?
