Episode 15
Xiao Ning.
Are we a family?
As a family, we all love each other.
What problems can we not solve if we love each other?
Don't you think so?
I've been thinking recently,
yes,
filial love is the most important.
So,
about the thing...
The thing...
I will sign it.
It's almost done. Once she signs
and once it's all official,
Everything is done, now.
Ke Ming,
you don't need to worry about this problem anymore, right?
Didn't I tell you before?
Don't make up stories.
Tell her the truth and she'll believe us. She wouldn't blame us anyways.
Wow, you're so smart. Thank you very much!
It's almost 10 and Tang Ning is going to be here soon.
Come in.
Mr. Zhong, Ma'am,
they have arrived.
Take them to the waiting room.
Don't worry now.
Oh no, Tang Ning had an accident and she's in the hospital.
What?
How can this happen?
A girl named Tang Ning arrived earlier of a car accident. How is she now?
The girl wasn't named Tang Ning.
Can you look at it again?
I'm right here.
Why are you sitting here? Weren't you in the accident?
This is good, thank you for your cooperation.
Are you okay?
It wasn't me, I just brought the person here.
I was so scared!
You didn't tell us clearly.
Why didn't you tell us clearly.
Nurse.
How is she?
Don't worry, she woke up and she's okay.
But, she told the police she committed suicide.
Suicide?
Zhong Ke MIng,
I keep wondering,
the first time we tried to make her sign, on Xiao Ning's birthday,
Xiao Jing came.
She messed everything up.
The second time, we convinced her.
But when she almost arrived to sign,
she got in an accident.
Do you think
in a certain way
it's protecting our daughter?
Stop believing in superstitions.
Superstitions?
This is the truth.
But it's okay.
At least we're almost at our goal.
I'll tell Xiao Ning
to come sign tomorrow at noon.
When did you come in?
How long have you been here? What did you hear?
I brought you soup.
Who told you to do that?
Who told you to do that at this time?
How many times have you eavesdropped on us?
Every time my husband and I are talking, were you always listening?
What do you want?
You've been here so long. Who taught you to act like this?
Do you have basic morals?
Wow, you're so good.
What do you want to do at our house?
I...I...
Go!
Leave my house today. I don't want to see you again.
I've been here for 30 years.
What about 30 years, have I never paid you?
I paid you a high salary.
Don't act like you're the victim.
Do you want to stay here longer? Should I pay for your funeral?
You must go today.
I don't have a place to go to.
You don't have a place to go?
Go to your own home.
Are you trying to leech off of me?
That must be what you're doing.
Leave, now.
I can't go anywhere.
Miss Zhao.
First, choosing suicide isn't correct.
Also,
the way you decided to commit suicide,
is also wrong.
Because you end up hurting yourself and others.
I'm sorry.
I...
I didn't think that much.
At that moment, I just wanted to die.
But I've never wanted to hurt others.
What happened? Can you tell me?
Maybe I can help you.
My husband died.
My child left as well.
I have no money.
Therefore,
I can't live anymore.
Your husband didn't leave you any money?
He did.
But they said, I couldn't get anything.
How?
Did he leave it to someone else?
No.
My husband,
He died of a car accident.
So...
There's no will.
At that time,
I was pregnant.
Okay so, Miss Zhao,
Since there's no will, because of the law
and since you're his wife,
you have the power to inherit his money.
We didn't register our marriage.
That way,
His family told me,
that not registering our marriage,
is illegal to live together.
There's no possibility that I can inherit anything.
Lawyer,
Can you help me?
I want to sue his family.
Because he killed my child.
He killed your child?
Yes.
I was told to come to you.
I was told that you will be able to win this case for me.
How about this?
Explain everything, from the beginning again to me, okay?
Okay.
Are you sure it's here?
Yes.
Hua Ye is so capable, being able to locate all kinds of people?
Hua Ye is indeed quite capable. This is a remote place, normally you wouldn't be able to find it.
That block of apartments?
Yes, that block of apartments.
Do you think Zheng Hao's mum will see me?
- I'll go with you. - No, no.
I'd better go alone.
Who is that?
I'm coming!
Aunty!
Tang Ning?
How did you find this place?
I never thought I would find you.
Come, come inside.
- Have some water. - I'm fine, thank you.
Are you feeling alright these days?
Not too bad.
There's a huge temperature change these days, you have to take care of yourself.
Tang Ning, you're a lady, just so attentive.
Thank you for travelling far out to see me.
But,
please, about this,
don't tell Hao Hao, is that okay?
Be rest assured.
Since Aunty Yu Xian says not to tell,
I will keep this secret.
But he has taken a big case recently
so he doesn't have time for distraction so he didn't ask me too.
Is Hao Hao well?
Yes, he is getting better and better.
Recently, he won the recognition of big lawyer Zhong Ke Ming.
Do you know who big lawyer Zhong Ke Ming is?
No I don't.
Of course I don't.
Even though Zheng Hao's career has taken off,
but I realised that he is not happy.
As his mum,
don't you consider his feelings?
His dad just passed away, and his mum is hiding from him.
He must be feeling awful.
Is he very upset?
Of course.
I have difficulties.
I know that this is unfair to Hao Hao
I can't say, I really can't say
I too, don't wish to return
to rethink the past.
I know.
But aunty, can you visit him?
To ease his heartache?
To see him in this shape, I feel upset for him.
How about this.
I won't force you. Once you have thought about it, let me know.
I'll bring him to you, okay?

How was it? Did she say who Zheng Hao's father is?
No.
I'm guessing that his biological father is still alive, but that it is inconvenient for them to reconcile.
That too dramatic.
Why is Zheng Hao so pitiful?
One dad has passed away, the other dad
can only remain in the shadows.
If he knew about all these,
how upset will he be?
He'll definitely break down.
Why do you care so much about him? You have your own troubles too.
Oh no, have you fallen for him?
Just now,
when I was leaving,
aunty told me to persuade Zheng Hao not to enter Zhong Ke Ming's Hai Ming law firm.
Why?
His mum doesn't want Zheng Hao to enter Hai Ming law firm?
These three people must have a special connection.
Could it be that this Zhong-
No, no.
Let's go home.
Zhao Xiao Jing wants to sue her brother-in-law and she wants you to be her legal representative?
Yes. This will also be my first case.
What first case are you talking about?
Lawyer Zhong. He wants me to join Hai Ming law firm.
So, I can't go there empty handed. I need to bring my first case there.
I've thought of it. It is this case, this Zhao Xiao Jing case.
Have you decided to join Hai Ming law firm?
Yes.
I think you should not join Hai Ming law firm.
Tang Ning, why?
Why are you against me joining Hai Ming law firm?
Not really objecting, but I feel that place doesn't suit you.
I am a lawyer. I've left Tian He law firm.
I also don't have any other offers.
I have to find a law firm in order to practice and work on cases.
You really want to join?
Yes.
Have you thought that if you joined Hai Ming law firm, then we cannot be together?
Cannot be working together.
That's why,
come with me.
I don't wish to leave Tian He law firm.
I need to head home.
- Hello. - May I know who are you?
I am Zheng Hao, may I know if Tang Ning is inside?
Are you her classmate?
No. You are Tang Ning's?
I'm her mother.
- Aunty, how're you? - Nice to meet you.
I'm Tang Ning's colleague at Tian He law firm.
Oh, you must be her supervisor, Lawyer Zheng, is that right?
Right! That's correct.
Ning,
Mum!
Mum, I'll be out for a while.
Aunty, bye!
Bye!
Zhao Xiao Jin's case, I have to file the case as soon as possible.
Besides Hai Ming Law Office, no other firm will hire me now. I am only an infamous lawyer.
What do you think I should do?
You already agree to be Zhao Xiao Jin's lawyer?
She has no money to pay for lawyer.
Besides me, who would stand up for him now.
So you are preparing to take this case to join Hai Ming Law Office? Do you think it will work?
Hai Ming Law Office ask for the highest fee in Shanghai.
I have already spoke to Lawyer Zhong and Brother Bo. Besides, this case
might not be something we can make money of.
But... it is pretty controversy.
This kind of case can really attract attention?
Look! There are so many people who live together without marriage.
On the surface, they are very free without the restriction from marriage.
Stay together if they are happy, separate if it doesn't work out.
Because of that so there is a big risk.
Even though, they believe in each other and call each other husband and wife,
but the boyfriend is now dead.
According to the inheritance law, Zhao Xiao Jin is not in running at all.
Aren't there a lot of cases just like this one? What is so special?
But this case is very different. They have a child.
But the child has already die.
This child die after his father
So there is such a twist in the case.
So isn't this very controversy?
[ Tang Ye Corporation ]
This is your office.
Oh. Thanks!
Brother Bo!
I have been waiting for you for awhile now.
This is my office?!
Yes.
... Why is it bigger than yours?
This was a big partner's office.
He and his family immigrated to Australia last year.
This is a bit over board.
I don't qualify to sit here.
You don't have to be so humble. If Director Zhong says you can, that means you can. If he wants you to do it, go ahead and do it.
Director Zhong agree to this?
I got it. It must be because of Tang Jing.
No way. I better find a chance to explain to Director Zhong.
Never mind that. It's not because of that.
She already told me. She has not yet mention to her parents about you.
I am busy so I am going.
Okay.
- Director Zhong. You are looking for me? - Yes.
How is going with Li Tian Ran's inheritance case?
We haven't file the law suit yet. We are collecting evidence.
Is there anyone who is interfering?
Yes. We are representing Li Tian Ran's only son,
Li Sheng Li. But our opponent is the school of law Graduate Program.
All the antiques left by Li Tiang Ran
and books, they have it all.
Also they won't give us the inheritance item list.
I would like Zheng Hao to take this case.
You and Chief Zhou should put together a team
to help Zheng Hao fully.
Director Zhong. So you mean to let Zheng Hao to be the main lawyer for the case?
Director Zhong. Dai Bo and his team have been working on this case in the past month.
Now we change the team all of a sudden, it might affect on the case.
Even though Zheng Hao is quite a talent. He only got here.
If he takes over such a big case like Li Tian Ran,
I am afraid it might not be a good idea.
I have my own plan. All of you just follow my order.
Director Zhong. After all, Li Tian Ran is our country's great Law expert.
Before his inheritance case actually starts,
there are already a lot of attention in the media.
Zheng Hao is still very young.
What if he didn't response properly,
he could have impact on Hai Ming Law Office's reputation.
So you and Dai Bo have to be team players
and help Zheng Hao win the case with all you have.
Besides, I like to cultivate a
skillful lawyer for Hai Ming Law Office.
I don't think it is a bad thing, right?
You are right. You are right.
Okay.

Director Zhong.
- Director Zhong. - Welcome, welcome, welcome. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!
Sit.
Sit!
Dai Bo show you the office?
I already show it to him.
What do you think? Are you happy with it?
I am happy.
That's great. I have already looked at your case file.
It is great.
On behalf of Hai Ming Law Firm,
I officially welcome you to be a member of our corporation.
Thank you, Director Zhong.
Dai Bo, allocate Zheng Hao the tasks he has to undertake in future.
Alright.
Zheng Hao, now, on behalf of Director Zhong,
I'm notifying you that we are officially handing the case of Li Tian Ran to you.
You'll be the main lawyer. I'll be your assistant.
Director Zhong.
I've just joined this firm. Yet you're already handing me such a big case.
This doesn't seem too appropriate, right?
There's nothing inappropriate about it. I've already discussed with Dai Bo.
It won't be just him alone who'll be assisting you.
I've also prepared an elite team to
act in concert with you, and to pursue success in this case.
You've just joined our law firm.
Whatever you do, you must show some achievements.
The two of you are already good buddies. You'll be able to cooperate very well.
Director Zhong, that-
Alright. Both of you can go back to your work.
Thank you.
In that case, Director Zhong, we'll leave.
Hey, what's up?
Still asking what's up? You got lucky! Better prepare well.
No. It's originally a case your team is in-charge of.
Why... why can it be like this?
I don't know either. But I believe Director Zhong has his own consideration.
An important and prominent case such as this was just handed to me like that?
Director Zhong is of course aware of this factor.
That's why he would hand over such a big and important case
to you as the main lawyer.
Do you know, lawyers are sometimes like entertainment stars and celebrities.
The standard is about the same, so there's only opportunity to rely on.
A performer waits for a good drama, while a lawyer depends on a prominent case.
Director Zhong is clearly letting you rely on this big and prominent Li Tian Ran's case
to become well-known in the legal world.
I want to congratulate you, Big Lawyer Zheng.
Is that so?
Aunt Wang, why are you here?
- Just leave your things here.- Okay. Okay.
Come. Come on in.
Have a seat.
Are you looking for my mother? My mother isn't at home.
I'm not looking for your mother. I'm looking for you.
I have an important matter to tell you.
It was just yesterday, while your aunt and uncle were discussing some matter.
I carelessly barged in.
In the end, your aunt flew into a rage
and scolded me badly. Just like that, she terminated my employment.
That wasn't any big matter, why did she terminate your employment?
Aunt Wang, don't be anxious. It's possible that she did that out of anger. Once her anger is gone, it'll be fine.
I begged her for a long time yesterday, and it was all in vain.
Moreover, she is aware that
ever since the death of my son, my daugther-in-law will not let me enter the house.
Yet she still chased me out!
Aunt Wang.
That means you were chased out last night?
Where did you stay?
I just stayed at Jie Xin Hua Yuan (New World Garden) for a night.
Don't be sad.
Right. How about this? Why don't you just stay in my house for the time being?
I'm actually fine with that.
But I'm worried about you.
Worried about me?
Isn't it today that you have to go to your aunt's company to
sign a document?
How did you know about this?
Xiao Ning, you can't go, ok?
You can't go.
Why?
Aunt will not harm you.
Is it something you know of?
I'm doing it for your good.
Cannot go.
Old Ke.
Did you prepare Zheng Hao's house?
Boss don't worry, everything has been taken care of.
Tomorrow, take him there. I'll be waiting for him inside
Okay. Let's go.
Xiao Ning
There are a few issues
they have been stuck in my head for more than 20 years.
They keep tormenting me.
Your mom and I know both knew
But I think
you should know about these issues.
What happened?
What in the world happened?
When your mother was pregnant
there was a person at her work that hit her stomach
Hit her stomach?
Why?
At that time, everyone in the Tang were discussing about this.
It said that your father wrote a will
it said when the child was born
all of the inheritance would go to the child.
So someone wanted to harm me.
They didn't want me to be born.
Only so I couldn't receive the inheritance from my father?
Who was it? Who wanted to harm me?
I'm not sure who it was that hit her stomach
I didn't see, so I can't say.
lawyer Zheng, please come in.
I'll show you around.
Over here is the study.
It's really spacious, right?
Look, there is a huge glass window and it's spacious and bright.
Oh, over here. I'll show you.
This way, please.
This is a small kitchen, you can hold a small party here.
This is considered small?
Over there is a
Then let's go. Come, come.
Lawyer Zheng
Director Zhong Lawyer Zheng, welcome.
Did you have something to do here?
Nothing, please sit.
I know that after the suit with your brother, you don't have a place to stay.
This is the company's property, I want to give it to you.
Director Zhong, right now I live with Lawyer Dai Bo
he takes good care of me, please don't worry.
You two living together would cause disturbances between you two.
I will send a team to help you
but you must win Li Tian Ran's case.
You must not lose your focus. Thus, I'm giving you the day off today.
I brought all the things to give to you.
Take a good look at the information.
Once you have gathered all the information, do an analysis report on the case.
This is your home now. I believe you won't disappoint me.
Director Zhong, having such a great boss like you
- as your subordinates, we will definitely do our best. We won't disappoint you. - Fine.
I know that you just took on this case, the pressure must be high.
But if the pressure is high, you have to show your control.
You are a smart and ambitious person, you can use this platform
We definitely can say that you are right now's ideal.
I know, thank you Director Zhong.
You won't let me down,
also moving here to start your work
if you have any problems with the case, all you have to do is find me.
I know.
I have somewhere to be, I'll be leaving first.
Director Zhong, I'll walk you to the door
No need, no need
If there is anything else you want, just tell him
Director Zhong, be careful leaving.
Welcome Thank you.
You are dressed like this and you still ride a bike?
You should slow down your speed sometimes. It's very dangerous.
Oh, you're caring so much about me~
You think you're so good (to show off one's good looks in a shameless manner)
Look
I've just moved to Hai Ming Law Firm and you've already forgotten about this boss (forgotten about me)
You have Lawyer Zhong now.
Whether or not I care about you, do you care?
Why are you inviting me out for a meal?
I would like to discuss about case of the uncle inheriting the family's assets.
Why do you think he tripped Zhao Xiao Jing?
The Ministry of Public Security has already investigated this. Currently, there is no evidence.
But since you have already asked, I can teach you.
Although tripping Zhao Xiao Jing may not injure an adult
but it may cause miscarriage.
Think about it. If Zhao Xiao Jing loses the baby that she's carrying,
that means the first line of successor is zero.
Then who could inherit all of Wang Jin Jie's inheritance?
It's the person next in line.
In this case, Wang Jin Cheng.
If the fetus hadn't died, and had been born
then, the uncle will not be able to inherit his older brother's assets. Isn't that so?
Definitely.
When your mother was pregnant
someone tied to hit her stomach.
Hey,
What happened that made you have that expression?
There's nothing.
What do you want to eat? I'm buying.
You still haven't ordered?
No.
Waiter!
I say, how did Zheng Hao manage
to snatch Lawyer Dai's case?
No one in your team dared to protest?
I did speak up during the meeting
but it was useless. My words had no effect as I'm a junior staff.
Li Tian Ran is China's top notched legal specialist.
His assets have been reported in all newspapers.
- Whoever handles this case will become a famous lawyer. - That's right.
Moreover, did you realize that when Zheng Hao just joined us,
Boss Zhong was indifferent to him on several occasions?
During work hours don't gossip. If you want to gossip, go home.
Okay.
Jiang Yang.
Have Zheng Hao come to my office.
Lawyer Dai. Zheng Hao went out in the afternoon and he's not back yet.
Thnk you. No problem
Thank you Please enjoy.
Zheng Hao
If the fetus had survived
and even though her uncle caused the death of the baby,
he would still not admit it, right?
Zhao Xiao Jing's unborn baby will inherit all the assets.
Ultimately, who will inherit all the assets?
They will still go to the uncle. What's the difference?
No wonder, someone is trying to
harm the unborn baby.
Why didn't you answer your calls?
Did you owe money to someone?
Really?
Don't borrow money from me. I don't have any.
