Episode 4
Zheng Hao, you can't see her right now.
Hurry and leave.
I already came. Why won't you let me see my mother?
Your mom just came from the hospital. These past two days she's been tossing and turning in her sleep.
She just fell asleep.
Can't you just let her rest for a couple days?
I need to ask my mother if I am my father's biological son.
Yes, yes, yes. I guarantee it.
I will answer on her behalf. You'll just trouble her.
Your father's death was so sudden. She can't withstand any more stress.
Then why did Zheng Ming talk like that?
You still believe his nonsense.
If your father were here, he'd definitely kill him.
The way I see it, he's blinded by greed
and wanted to fight for the house. That's why he said it.
Would your aunt lie to you?
Aiya, Zheng Hao, hurry and go back to discuss this with your older brother
and clear up this business with the house.
I'll be here for your mother.
Hurry, hurry, go.
Then contact me when my mother wakes up.
Okay. I will call you if she wakes up.
Go.
Master, coffee's on me.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
My brother...
Don't know what got into him yesterday. He came to my house to cause trouble,
and caused my mom to go to the emergency room
- How is she now? - Right now, she's okay.
Then where is she now? I'll go visit her.
Originally, I wanted to take her home, but I was worried.
I don't know when my brother will go crazy again.
So I have my aunt accompanying my mother at a nursing home.
Nursing home?
Older sis, whatever you want to escape from, Zheng Hao is innocent.
He wants to personally hear from you that he is Zheng Yi Jian's biological son.
I blocked him from coming here and sent him back home.
I've let Hao Hao down so much.
I didn't do for him what a mother ought to.
When I gave birth to him, I was left sick in the hospital.
When I first saw him,
he was already 2 1/2 years old and could walk.
At that time when he looked at me
it was like he was looking at a stranger. He wouldn't call me Mother.
These years...
he had Zheng Yi Jian to be there with him.
It was him who took good care of Hao Hao.
How can that be right? Zheng Hao was brought up by Zheng Yi Jian.
Zheng Yi Jian is 100 times stronger then his biological father.
This secret has already been hidden for more than 20 years.
But in the end it still has come out.
Because you are an outsider.
You aren't a Zheng. You are not my father's biological son.
Not feeling well again?
If you're tired then go to your bedroom.
I'm not tired.
I'm fine.
I am okay.
I dreamed about my brother again.
Ke Ming,
I just keep thinking
what you said was correct. We have get this over with.
If Tang Ning wants to see the will, then let her.
Letting her see it isn't the problem, the problem is after she sees it, how will she react.
What can we do
If she trusts her mother and I
then after she sees it, the problem will be over.
Then what if she doesn't trust you?
Then kick Xia Yun out.
Tell her that it wasn't me who stole the stocks, it was her mother who sold them to me.
Good, as long as you can say that then that's fine.
Actually, everything that we are doing
is reasonable and legal.
We've already shown all our cards.
Right now the problem is Xia Yun. I'm scared she won't understand.
Even if she doesn't understand, she still has to think
it's already come this far.
If we can't get the stocks to go public, then we're finished.
It looks like we two have some work to do.
Three shots please.
Ning, why are you hiding from me?
- I'm not. - You're not?
Then why aren't you answering my calls?
I didn't just not answer your calls. I didn't answer anyone's calls.
Ning, I think you are misunderstanding your aunt.
Your aunt really loves you. She wouldn't intentionally harm you.
I didn't say that my Aunt would harm me.
I only have one reason for returning to Shanghai. To find out whether or not my father had a will.
If he did, I want to see it. Is this too much to ask?
But your aunt told me... the will doesn't exist! It's just you don't believe what you are hearing.
My Mom came back.
She told me that he did have one.
- Why are you looking at me. - A lady shouldn't drink too bravely. Are you drunk?
Drink? Let me tell you, my limit is very high.
Give me another one so I can have him watch. Watch!
I just realized that you are rather handsome.
Why are you ignoring me?
Everyone ignores me. No one pays attention to me.
Everyone ignores me. My dad ignores me.
You also ignore me.
Treating me this way... I'm still young.
This world has a lot of people worse off than you.
Worse off than me? Where is there anyone worse off than me?
I have it the worst.
So why are you drinking alone?
Do you have it bad, too?
I remember when I helped your aunt draw up those confirmation documents.
She never let me know that your father had a will.
And I asked for the stock transfer agreement
and they haven't given it to me.
Don't you think this is weird?
Yes, it is strange.
But they are also my clients, there are some words that I shouldn't say.
I know who you are.
When you were at the orphanage your aunt always supported you financially.
From when you were in elementary school to college. And when you went to study in England.
This type of kindness cannot be forgotten.
I also studied law, so I can understand.
Aside from this relationship, you are also a partner at Hai Ming Law Firm.
My uncle Zhong Ke Ming's proud pupil.
How can I blame you? You did what you are responsible for as a lawyer.
No, it was me who was wrong.
I should have looked into the transfer of stocks agreement between your dad and your aunt.
Aunt wouldn't have let you see it.
Why?
Because it was fake.
Fake?
Then how about this?
I am a good person. I will comfort you for
five minutes. And afterwords you will comfort me for five minutes.
And then you will make jokes for me, okay?
Hey, your expression right now
is really handsome, really handsome!
I have to take a picture! I have to take a picture!
Here, 1, 2.
Don't, don't, don't!
Look here, look here!
Wait, let me see, let me see. It's blurry.
Look, did you know your pores are really big.
Do you know how to make your pores become small?
When the pixels come back
your pores will come back, too!
Am I funny?
If it is true? Is it still necessary for me to sign the confirmation document?
This loophole Zhou Tong and I would see with one look.
Ning, listen to me. If I saw the stock transfer agreement
I would also see problems. I swear I didn't lie to you with your aunt.
I believe you, Dai Bo.
This is a part of the agreement.
Look at this paper. Does it look like it's from 27 years ago?
And the font it's written in. I researched a bit.
This is from Word on Windows 7. Did Windows 7 exist 20 years ago?
Your Aunt really is lying to you.
How can you be so weak! How about this...
I'll take you over to dance. How about it?
- I can't dance. - I'll teach you!
If you want to dance, dance yourself.
Weak! That's okay. I'll dance for you, okay?

Hey, Jie Zhang.
Huh? Not drinking more?
Here, here's some money.
Watch my stuff. Watch her. She drank a lot.
No problem. Don't worry.
- Where he go? - Who?
- The one who sat here. - He left.
Left?
No wonder she wouldn't let me see the stock transfer agreement.
You, uncle and aunt's relationship is not ordinary, so I don't want to talk to you about this.
But you keep calling me, I—
Ning, I didn't purposefully force you.
I really don't want you, your aunt and uncle to be in an argument.
I also don't want that.
But, what can I do?
I just want to know whether or not my father had a will.
Why do they need to lie to me?
Dai Bao, I don't want you to get involved in this.
I don't want to hurt you.
No, Ning. Don't think about me.
I just care about you. You know, if you need it, I can abandon everything.
I won't let you do such a thing.
No, I definitely would do it.
I know, right now what you want is to see your father's will.
I promise you, I will help you find father's will.
Your older brother is too much.
In order to fight over the house, he isn't acknowledging his biological brother.
We have the same father, but different mothers.
He doesn't come often. But I think our relationship is still okay.
I didn't think that for our father's house
he would not acknowledge me, and suddenly say that I'm not my father's biological son.
Actually, I think this situation is pretty simple.
Just ask your mother and you will know, right?
My aunt won't let me see her.
Since my father's passing, my mother's health hasn't been very good.
My aunt is scared I'll upset her.
It can't be that you yourself don't believe that you are your father's son.
- What are you saying? - You are starting to doubt that you are his son, aren't you?
Me? Doubt it? Impossible!
Look, you're anxious.
Anxious means you don't have confidence. You taught me.
- Who said I'm anxious. I'm not. - If you aren't anxious, then what are you doing?
Did you study law or psychology?
If you're so awesome, go become a psychiatrist.
Okay, if you are willing? I'll not only be your assistant,
I can also be your psychiatrist, okay?
I don't need to see a psychiatrist. I am mentally stable. I don't need it.
But I've found that the two of us
really do compliment each other a little bit.
You help me and in the future I can help you.
What would you help me with?
Anything. At home, water leakage, water pipe,
changing the light bulbs. Say it.
I don't need your help with these types of simple tasks.
Then tell me something else. Something hard.
Where is my father's will?
What did you say? Zheng Hao is Zheng Li Jie's son?
Yes.
Then you are saying that Tang Ning's return has to do with Zheng Yi Jian.
I was thinking why is Tang Ning an assistant to Zheng Hao?
Zheng Hao just happens to be Zheng Yi Jian's son.
Cousin at Tien He Law Offices heard this situation.
In order to fight for her inheritance
his two sons are in an huge argument.
Two sons?
I remember that he only had one son.
After Zheng Yi Jian divorced, he found another woman.
Zheng Hao is the son of Zheng Yi Jian and that other woman.
Mom.
Hao, sit. Have you eaten?
I ate.
How is your health? Is it better?
It's a lot better.
Mom, there is something that I want to hear from you.
Tell me, am I my father's biological son?
I gave birth to you. Of course you are our son.
On the day you were born, your name
was chosen by your father. A powerful name.
Your father spent a lot of time and energy on you.
He put his life's hope in you.
Who would dare say you aren't his son?
Zheng Ming.
That's just the ramblings of a possessed person,
for the sake of obtaining the house.
Don't worry. Father wrote a will.
That house was left for me. If he wants to steal it. Then that's wishful thinking.
Mom, when your health is better, I'll bring you home.
- You're here to trouble me again. - I want to go to the city notary office to look for Fang Li's father's will.
But with our case, the court won't issue us an investigation order. What am I supposed to do?
This is Zheng Hao's work.
Ask him to search for it himself. Why did you come and ask me?
It's not that I don't already know that.
His brother is fighting over an inheritance with him, saying that he is not blood-related to his father.
He was never blood-related to his father.
He was given birth by his mother.
Not giving an investigation order is wrong. You can ask for a copy of it.
Alright.
Hello, this is the copy of the document that you wanted.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
There is only one will that was notarized. It's the same as the one that Fang Yan provided.
Then why'd you print a copy of it.
To compare it to the other one. Otherwise it'd be a wasted trip.
The city notary office not having it doesn't necessarily mean that the district office doesn't have it either.
Then let's hurry and go to the district notary office.
Do you know how many district notary offices there are in this area?
Think about it carefully. Exactly which notary office did Fang Li's father get his will notarized at.
How would I know that?
Aren't you a Harvard graduate? How can you be so slow-witted?
Me, slow-witted?
Master, what do you think of Fang Yan's case. Any ideas on solving it?
Nope, I haven't finished thinking.
How about this? We use the Beautiful Woman plan.
You can mesmerize Dai Bo and see what information he has. If you go, it'd definitely work.
How can you even think of such a plan. And you're a lawyer.
Just kidding. Why is it that every time I mention Dai Bo
you get so anxious?
I am anxious. Are you able to manage that?
If you have such an attitude, get out of the car. I'm not driving you.
Who's car is this? Who should get off?
Sorry, I forgot. No issue, let's go.
Drive well, Mr Chauffeur.
I have a clue.
What clue?
This is copy of the will that was provided by Fang Yan.
This is the copy of the will that we got yesterday from the notary office.
What is the problem?
On the surface the information on both of the wills is exactly the same,
but the problem is in another location.
The copy we got from the office is clean.
Fang Yan's copy
has a hand-written date August 2012 on the right corner.
and on the left side there are staple marks. There are not one but two holes.
Then the copy of the will that Fang Yan provided
was not printed at the certificate office.
Not necessarily.
So it was originally two documents stapled together, but one was later taken out.
The other one is in Fang Yan's hands.
The will that Fang Yan submitted was notarized on the 15th of June 2011.
Why would someone have written August, 2012 on it?
Could this be the date the other will was notarized?
The will that was attached to the first will,
Is probably the third will that we are looking for.
How is it? Do you think it's delicious?
The flavor's not bad, but I would prefer to eat Chinese food.
Alright, next time I'll bring you to eat Chinese food.
Okay.
Thank you.
Xiao Ning, I've already tried two times.
But Aunt Tang is still not saying anything.
Actually it doesn't really matter whether she speaks or not.
My Mom admitted that there is a will.
In actual fact I'm in the same position as you.
I also do not understand
why your mother and Aunt won't show you your father's will.
Dai Bo, thank you for helping me,
but in the future, we should keep our distance.
Since you are my Aunt's lawyer, I can't put you in a bind.
That I understand,
but what I want to say if that you hold a high position in my heart.
You know this. As long as you need it, I can give up everything.
Don't you dare try to get involved in this.
Also, don't give up everything for me. Not worth it.
No, no, no. It's worth it.
What I am saying is from my heart.
Dai Bo, do you know that Zheng Hao and his older brother are fighting over their inheritance?
Of course I know that.
I hope that you help him.
Are you referring to Zheng Ming saying he isn't a biological child?
Actually, his father has a will.
So it doesn't matter whether or not they are blood-related.
I know Zheng Hao.
He and his father's relationship is really good.
He probably can't stand this.
Ning, there is something that I've always been curious about.
You returned to investigate your father's will.
Why do you need to go to Tian He Law Office?
Why do you need to follow Zheng Hao?
Unless there is some special relationship I'm unaware of?
What relationship?
I just wanted to find a domestic law office that specializes in civil cases,
and familiarize myself with cases that involve succession.
Then how has the last few weeks been?
Good. Quiet interesting.
Interesting? How?
Even though he is a rough person, he has a kind heart.
In short, I can see a new sun every day.
How does it compare with me?
Compare with you. That's different
Dai Bo is like a mountain. Stable and reliable
He is like the spring water in a river, flowing along as the wind blows.
I am a big mountain?
Then do you choose the big mountain or the spring water?
As a secretary?
Of course the spring water.
Okay I'll drop you off
No need. Tian He is close, I'll walk
Okay
Waiter, check please
Okay, then I'll leave first
Sure
Bye!
Subtitles And Timing By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Thinking of a man?
What man?
Dai Bo
Your relationship doesn't look normal
Indeed it isn't normal, we've known each other for a long time.
He is like an older brother
Brother? Thinking about your brother makes you give an affectionate expression?
You seem excited.
Looks like you have good news, right?
Doesn't quite count as good news
I just went to the neighbourhood committee at Fang Li's place. The director told me that
in 2013 before Fang Tong Yu moved back to Fang Li's house.
He was always living in Fang Yan's house. There was no way he went to Pujiang District.
So it was impossible for him to go to the notary office in Pujiang District to notarise his will.
I'm sure. The first time Fang Tong Yu had a stroke was 2011
Afterwards, he was in a wheelchair
Fang Yan's house is in Nancheng District,
would he have gone all the way to Pujiang District to notarise his will?
So your saying that it is very likely that Mr Fang went to notary office in Nancheng District to make the other copy of the will.
You guess
-Hey-How was it?
Did you see it? Is it favorable to us?
I didn't see the will
but I did find a clue at the committee meeting in Fang Yan's neighbourhood.
Say it!
August 2012, Mr Fang and his youngest daughter and his son-in-law
were involved in a fierce argument. The director of the committee came forward and asked Mr Fang to adjust
and forced him to write an additional will
that was also notarised at the Nancheng notary office.
Do you still remember the date on the will that Fang Yan provided?
August 2012
So as long as we find the notarized will
We will have enough evidence to win over Dai Bo
This evidence is not enough, it would be even better if we had a witness.
Right, It would be good if there was a witness
I found the notary officer who helped him notarise his will at that time.
His name is Wen Zheng Qi, and also the neighbourhood committee's director's older brother.
Aren't I awesome?
Even got insurance, even prettier
Master, good thing you are driving. If it was me,
I am terrible with directions. I wouldn't know where to go.
Of course, I'm more familiar with Shanghai's roads.
- Hello? - Hello?
It's me. How's the situation?
These days, Ning won't pay attention to me.
Today, she has a business trip. At night, she won't return.
What should we do?
Hungry? Did you eat?
My bag in the back has some snacks.
Let me, let me. You drive.
A man's bag has so much food!
People like us,
our meals are not set. So I'm prepared.
Eat it, casually eat.
She doesn't believe you.
Why don't you tell her the truth?
Tell her and there's not a problem.
Let me think more about that.
What are you thinking of?
The company is rushing us.
What is she investigating? When is she returning?
Finding a notary?
She wouldn't be investigating the will, would she?
Enter.
Lawyer Dai.
I did what you asked for and checked through all of the documents that Fang Yan provided.
They're all correct. There're no problems.
- Did you check the city notary office? - I've already been there.
It was them who confirmed that Fang Tong Yu had only notarized this will.
It's the one that Fang Yan provided for the court.
Lawyer Dai, you don't have to worry about this case. We'll win it.
I told you before. Until the moment that the judge decides on the case,
there is no determination of win or loss.
What are you worried about?
Zheng Hao's side wouldn't have new evidence.
If Zheng Hao made noise, I wouldn't worry about it.
He is quiet, so I'm quite concerned.
I am Zheng Hao. Here's my card.
Hello. We are the lawyers for Fang Tong Yu's daughter, Fang Li
-Fang LiHello. We are the lawyers for Fang Tong Yu's daughter, Fang Li
I don't see to know her. Is there anything you need from me?
Please take a look at this.
This should be a will you notarized right before you retired.
Fang Tong Yu found you to help notarize it.
The notarization of wills and the notarization are both private matters.
Only the owner of the will and the inheritors know.
Even if you ask me, I cannot say it.
Look. If all the evidence on the table can determine win or loss
then what's the difference between a 2nd and 3rd level lawyer?
I am worried that Fang Yan
had hidden something on the evidence on this table.
According to my opinion I don't think that she did 100% tell us the truth.
But even if she hid something from us,
just as long the notarized will is correct.
It's like this.
Fang Yi, who is Fang Tong Yu's daughter, is also a beneficiary.
I remember that when Fang Tong Yu came, he came with someone named Fang Yan.
Yes, Fang Yi is Fang Yan's older sister.
At that time Mr. Fang Tong Yu did leave his house for Fang Yan.
Fang Yi also agreed.
But once she got the house, she abandoned her father.
She wouldn't dare.
This I have some recollection. The will very clearly said
the inheritor Fang Yan must fulfill for her father.
Fang Tong Yu the obligation to look after him.
Correct.
Fang Yan has violated this portion of the will.
And she has kept all this a secret.
So we really hope that you can be a witness in court.
Witness in court?
This is a really difficult situation. Plus, I'm not in Shanghai.
Too bothersome.
Teacher Wen,
I would guess that you wouldn't let something not fair and not just happen, right?
Correct, but that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not I am a witness.
Your name is Zheng Qi. [Note: Righteousness]
Then that means that you are a righteous person.
Look. Now that Fang Yan abandoned her father,
Aand also kept this will hidden
and right now wants to inherit the property...
Would you let an unfilial daughter get her way?
Fang Tong Yu found you as the notary public.
In you he had a lot of hope.
Right, you are currently retired,
but in the past, a notary public.
Notary officers are the future and spokesperson of the law.
In court, fighting for justice is your responsibility.
You guys are quite young. You are quite sharp.
What you've said is correct, there are a lot of old people who experience problems with inheritance issues.
This... you have convinced me.
I will go and do the duty of a good citizen.
Say it. How do you want me to be a witness?
Thank you.
Big Brother, Tang Ning's case is tomorrow.
- At which court? - Nancheng District Court.
Okay.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Defendant,
for my following questions, I request an answer of "Yes" or "No." Understand?
Shortly after your father had a stroke
you kicked him out of the house. Yes or no?
Didn't I tell you before? It wasn't me, it was my husband.
At that time you were there, you're a witness.
Your husband kicked your father out of the house
and you didn't resist. Yes or no?
- This-- - Please answer yes or no.
Yes.
Around three years ago, in 2011
to leave to you to inherit.
At that time, he was still hopeful.
He hoped that you would take care of him.
He hoped that, during his last years,
to have his biological daughter at his side.
This is the wish of many elderly,
but unfortunately, soon after, he had a stroke.
At that time he needed your care. But not only did you not care for him,
And so on a windy and rainy day, you kicked him out of the house.
The reason is
because your father who had trouble moving his hands and feet broke a spoon while eating dinner.
Don't talk anymore. I told you it wasn't me. It was my husband.
Let's not talk about whether or not you prevented it.
As a biological daughter, couldn't you come out of the house
to hold an umbrella for an eldery in the wind and rain?
I gave Fang Yi a call.
She also took father with her.
I already did my best.
Did your best?
Taking care of one's parent
is the responsibility of each child. But you didn't.
You kicked your father out of the house and pushed him to your elder sister.
You abandoned your father.
