♫ Because love is the most fragile line of defense ♫
♫ In the end, hate became the last outcome ♫
♫ I defenselessly melted into love ♫
♫ I became the amber of tears, hanging on your necklace ♫
♫ Selfish love is too sweet that it becomes salty ♫
♫ Uneasy hate is thrown out of my dictionary ♫
♫ I am helplessly frozen into love ♫
♫ I became the crystal of ice, piercing your eyes ♫
♫ We are both lost on the edges of the world ♫
♫ A consensus is like positively and negatively charged electricity ♫
♫ If tightly connected, it can brighten the loneliness of night ♫
♫ The flames of a broken wire can momentarily be destroyed ♫
♫ We are both lost on the edges of the world ♫
♫ Chasing after each other is like the black and white keys of a piano ♫
♫ If closely dependent on each other, it can produce the theme of love ♫
♫ How can parted strings perform the sound of joy and sorrow? ♫
Medical Lawyer Heirs
Episode 17
The message on your wechat. Thanks
I have a friend named Li Dan. She's a nurse in the obstetrical department.
She and her friend, including Doctor Zhao, have a chat group
They can all see each other's friend groups
So you are in their wechat group?
No I'm not
But I can see Li Dan's friend group
On August 3rd
what did you see in Li Dan's friend group?
In the group chat
Li Dan sent some screenshots.
Sisters. A mother who fell gave birth to a boy!
I just put him in the infant incubator. Sorry I'm late.
I'm on my way to the cafeteria to celebrate Li Dan's birthday. Mei
Mei? That would be Doctor Zhao Mei.
Yes. Mei is Doctor Zhao Mei
Can I please ask
when Doctor Zhao Mei sent this message?
It says 7:30 at night
Thanks
Everyone
On August 3, 7:30 at night
Doctor Zhao Mei sent this message in her group chat
This means. Zhao Xiao Jing's child
should've been born before 7:30
and sent to the infant incubator.
But after two hours or so
at 9:23, that child passed away
Judge, I do not agree with what the Plaintiff's Representative Lawyer said.
His reasoning has holes in it.
Doctor Zhao could have delivered another child at 7:30
Then please prove
that there was another ambulance
that brought another pregnant mother who had fallen to the hospital
And also delivered early by Doctor Zhao
Also, that infant has to be sent to the child infant at the exact same time.
-This possibility-- -Enough
Lawyers. There's no need to fight over this problem.
We went send outa search order
to investigate the comes and goes of the infant incubator
The truth will be found soon
If it shows that the infant has been sent to the infant incubator
then that means when he left his mother
he was alive
and has the right to inherit the father's inheritance
This isn't fair
If the child was alive, I would have nothing to say, but he's already dead.
It doesn't matter when he died. Either way he's dead
Please calm yourself
As long as the child was once alive
it doesn't matter if it was for a couple of hours or minutes
he has the right to inherit his father's inheritance.
Right now, the child is not here
Then his inheritance
would all be given to his mother.
His uncle has no right to inherit
Understand?
Thank you so much
If you didn't think of such a good idea
Then my injustices will never have been appealed
My husband and child will forever be unable to close their eyes.
Yes
They already sent out the search order
Tomorrow we can go to the hospital to get the certificate.
Tang Ning,
You are my savior
The first time when I tried to suicide, you sent me to the hospital
This time
you go to court to serve as my witness.
to help my child
get justice
I really don't know how to thank you guys
Thanks
You can thank us by living well.
I can walk by myself
Come over here
-Come on! -It's not right for you to do this.
H
-Huh? -Here
Hi mom and dad.
President Zhong, President Tang
You. Aren't you
What's going between the two of you?
You guys know each other? He's my boyfriend
Stop fooling around.
I'm not fooling around. He's a lawyer like you.
Except he doesn't have a job. No, I'm mean he quit
I'm officially introducing him to you.He's definitely talented.
Zheng Hao. What is going on?
President Zhong. Tang Jing doesn't know what is going on.
She doesn't know that I already work at Hai Ming Law Office.
Ke Ming. Yes, his name is Zheng Hao. Didn't he save us once at the tea room?
How can you forget?
-Xiao Jing. He's your boyfriend? Yea
-Very good -Yea -Not good. What's good about it?
What do you mean? He's my boyfriend. What wrong with that?
No really. I'm not
President Zhong. Don't misunderstand. I'm not her boyfriend.
Zheng Hao. You said you'd be my friend.
I'm your friend. Not boyfriend
Xiao Jing.
Did you forget? You're engaged to the heir of Cheng family. Stop fooling around.
And plus. Zheng Hao is already at our Hai Ming Law Office.
Who am I engaged to? Since when was I engaged?
I'm not engaged
President Zhong. Why don't you guys take your time
I still have some thing to take care of
Wait wait
Wait for me. Wait
Xiao Jing!
Ke Ming.
Listen to me
Don't leave
Hey.
I'm telling you. I'm not engaged. My dad was lying.
Your going to be the fiance of the heir of Cheng family.
Please. From now on don't tell people I'm you boyfriend. It's not right.
I'm going to tell you again. My dad was lying
I don't have an engagement. Please believe me
Why would he lie?
It's very clear.
He doesn't want us to be close
Zheng Hao. Are you really happy that you can leave me behind now?
Well you can really say I'm happy
but your the daughter of President Zhong. You have to listen to him. He's my boss.
I have to listen to him.
Ke Ming. I think it's really strange.
When has Xiao Jing been engaged with the heir of Cheng family?
And plus. Last year she and him had a fling
But they've already broken up
Yes, yes. They aren't engaged.
I only said that because I didn't want Xiao Jing
and a small lawyer under my supervision...
...to have a relationship with a small lawyer. This isn't good.
What's not good about that?
Think about it, after our daughter came back from America,
she does nothing everyday, going everywhere without caution.
She travelled to go on a hot air balloon, scuba diving, skiing.
I really hope that a young man could look after her.
Isn't Zheng Hao quite alright?
We know his personality and character. Didn't he save us the other day too?
I think we can be assured with this young man.
Say, what's not good about letting Xiao Jing go out with him?
No! Certainly not!
Zhong Ke Ming,
your attitude is too unexpected for me. Why are you so tensed?
Is there an inside story?
What inside story?
Look,
Zhen Hao still didn't have a job before.
My Hai Ming Law Office took him.
How is a small lawyer like this a match for our rich daughter?
You keep calling him a small lawyer, a small lawyer...
Ke Ming, don't forget, you were also a small lawyer in the beginning.
I think it's unimportant that he's a small lawyer, his character is what's important.
Our daughter likes him so much too.
Think over it, let them go out together.
Fine, fine. Let me think about it.
I keep coughing recently. I don't know why.
Sit down.
Xiao Ning.
Auntie Wang, take a seat.
How's my case going?
It's nearly done. Brother Dai Bo is already going to the court to set the case up.
Actually, my daughter-in-law isn't entirely bad.
She's just too greedy.
Greed is a common problem in human nature.
Human seems to be quite greedy for money.
The richer the person, the more greedy for money they are.
Just like...
Just like, when some rich people, who are already really wealthy,
yet they're still greedy for the money left behind by someone else.
As long as someone becomes greedy, they can do anything.
Auntie Wang,
you said someone added in
abortion medicine in my mother's food. Does my mother know?
Within a few days, your mother left the Tang family house.
She moved to your grandmother's house.
You were born in Chuan He Hospital near your grandmother's house.

Cousin, were you looking for me?
It's very likely that Xiao Jing and Zheng Hao are together.
You...Cousin, what do you mean?
Xiao Jing likes Zheng Hao.
The bar she bought was for him.
How- how is this possible?
Lady and Zheng Hao are biological siblings!
What do you think? How could they be together?
Lao Ke, let's think of a way to stop them.
Yes.
I'll think of a way.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Do you know who Li Tian Ran is?
Of course I know.
When I was a first year in law school, I've read his masterpiece,
"An Introduction to Roman Law". He is all of China's
greatest law professor, a Roman law professor.
Then do you know your father, Zheng Yi Jian, was also his student?
Really?
Then, Vice President Zhong, you were in his class too?
I didn't have that kind of luck.
In 1977, after he returned to the law school,
he only taught for one year. I didn't have the chance to get in his class.
What's wrong?
I...only think that it's quite interesting.
A law professor
didn't manage his inheritance well. After he died,
it lead to such a big inheritance lawsuit.
His own son and the Law Research Institution, where Li Tian Ran was,
would get into an inheritance lawsuit fight.
Apart from Li Tian Ran, some valuable artefacts and books,
have you researched or analysed what else this case has?
I think it's mainly mismanagement of their father and son relationship.
For so much familial misfortunes to happen in that era,
but in the end, both the father and son
were unwilling to introspect and continued their cold war.
Hasn't Li Sheng Li repented already?
But when his son came to repent, it was an auspicious mistake.
In the end, they still could meet.
On this world, there are too many stories about fathers and sons.
Sometimes, it's the son's fault.
More often than not, it's the father's mistake.
So, many people say that the relationship between a father and son
is a familial bond that can be explained and understood clearly.
But no matter what, remember something, the father will still be the father in the end,
the son will always be the son.
Whether what happened in the process,
they will still hug and acknowledge each other in the end.
Because a father and son relationship exceeds all else.
Tang Ye Corporation
President Tang, your body is unwell, you should go back and rest soon.
Is he still at Hai Ming Law Office?
Yes, I asked again just then.
Vice President Zhong and Zheng Hao went to the rooftop, it seems they were discussing a big case.
Big case?
I'm not too sure what it was.
Alright.
Do this, when you know about Zheng Hao's situation, tell me immediately.
- Yes.- Go.
Hello.
Miss Tang, you're here. Your father isn't at the office.
I'm not looking for my father, I'm looking for Lawyer Zheng Hao.
Lawyer Zheng Hao?
Yo, why's the Lady here?
I'm looking for Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao? Zheng Hao went to meet a customer.
- Zheng Hao went to meet a customer?- That's right.
He can still pick up his calls when he's in a meeting. He didn't reply to any messages. Did he evaporate?
Otherwise, try calling Dai Bo. He went with Dai Bo.
That's right. I can call Dai Bo's phone.
- Hello?- Hello?
Brother Dai Bo, it's me, Xiao Jing.
- Xiao Jing.- I'm looking for Zheng Hao.
You're looking for Zheng Hao?
You can't, he's speaking with the person involved in the case.
I'm sorry, can I not answer this question?
Teacher Li, in court, if the other person presents
the evidence of you breaking your relationship with your father and asks you,
would you also tell them that you don't want to answer the question?
I know that memory must be very painful,
but you can't hide. There's no way you can hide from it.
Why?
Because you and Mr Li Tian Ran are father and son.
You can forget history but you can't change
the truth that you two are father and son.
How unlucky it was this time.
I went to Macau to gamble and I lost again.
There are nine losses in ten bets, Mum.
How many times have I told you? Can't you quit?
Your mother's life is hard.
There's not much fun in life. If I don't go to the casino for some madness,
then what's the meaning for me to live?
Mum, you go to Hong Kong and Macau every so often,
it's not only for shopping and gambling, right? Is there something else?
Why are you blindly guessing?
If I don't go to Hong Kong and Macau for shopping and gambling, why else would I go?
Xiao Ning,
I'm not even using your money, you're already trying to control me?
I am just concerned about you.
That's right, Mum. Auntie Wang is living in our house for a while.
Why?
Aunt was annoyed with her old age so she kicked her out.
Vice President Zhong, your wife's condition is very pessimistic.
The cancer cells have started spreading.
Then what should we do?
We will try our best.
How could this be?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Then tell me honestly, how much longer can we drag it on?
About half a year.
Mum, I have something I want to ask you.
What?
When I was still in your belly,
why did you move to grandma's house?
Xiao Ning,
why are you suddenly asking this? Who told you?
Auntie Wang?
Auntie Wang said, she broke one of your bowls at the time.
In the end, Aunt quarrelled to fire her, is that right?
How many years ago was this? She still remembers?
Two days after Auntie Wang broke the bowl,
you moved back to grandma's house until I was born.
Did someone do something to you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been like that.
Xiao Ning, what are you thinking about?
What did Auntie Wang really tell you?
Did someone try to give you abortion medicine?
Mum.
Fine if you don't want to say.
Xiao Jing.
I've seen you date so many boys before but I've never seen you so sad.
What is it this time?
It's entirely different this time.
For Zheng Hao, I feel so unsettled when I don't see him all day.
Silly child.
If you really feel that, then you're really in love.
In love?
But...but Father just doesn't agree for us to be together.
That stubborn old man.
Then you...did your father say why he won't agree?
I don't know but Father's attitude was really odd this time.
On one hand, he's desperately trying to disagree for us to not be together.
On the other hand, he's so especially nice to Zheng Hao.
Then that means your father really, really likes Zheng Hao.
Really likes him.
Then why is he against you two being together? Weird.
It's probably because Zheng Hao is poor.
Yes, your father has said that to me too.
He does have that attitude. He's afraid that the person only has eyes for the money
and doesn't really like you.
Zheng Hao isn't that kind of person.
The first time he saw me, he didn't know I was someone from the Tang family.
Also...also he rejected me in front of Father and Brother Dai Bo.
Why? Why?
I don't know.
He said he is already engaged!
Engaged?
I know he must have been lying to me.
If he had any girlfriends, I would definitely kill all of them.
Mother, I feel tormented.
Alright, alright, alright.
My princess, look, a boy made you like this.
It's the first time, I've never seen you so dedicated.
- I need to get it together.- Get it together for what?
To chase after him! To get him into my hands.
You must first do your father's work.
Yes.
Look at what I've brought for you.
What's wrong? You don't look so good.
Was it because you didn't get much results from your mother last night?
But seeing her reaction, she seems to know something.
Otherwise, let's start with your aunt.
You need to take advantage of her unawareness and ask her out of the blue.
People have always been their most honest when they're caught off guard.
We can only do that.
Oh, that's right. Tang Ning, look at this.
Recently, all of the friend groups have been talking about your Zheng Hao.
They talk so evilly about him, they've even brought you in.
Why is it like this?
This is basically internet lynching.
That's right. The more famous a person is, the more gossip there is.
I'm telling you, when he first entered Hai Ming Law Office,
he was assigned the founder partner's office.
Also, he got the case that everybody else wanted,
the Li Tian Ran inheritance case. For someone with the same job, how could they not be jealous?
If that continues, if the fact of my being Tang Ji's daughter gets exposed,
Zheng Hao...
It's fine, it's fine. Tell the truth as it is.
Since Zhong Ke Ming is so nice to him now, he got into Hai Ming office too.
That means he definitely isn't interested in Tang Ye Corporation.
But I've hidden it from him for so long.
It's nothing, this is called a white lie.
I'm guessing his dad wrote the anonymous letter.
You're doing this because you want to find the truth, right?
Coming.
You're hiding here?
Until when are you going to hide from me?
Hey, hey, hey.
Xiao Jing, look at you.
You're pretty, generous and rich.
There are numerous men who likes you. Why do you keep tangling yourself with me?
I must get the things that I like.
For feelings, they can't be forced.
In life, sometimes when something isn't yours, they're not yours.
I'm telling you, I get anything I want since I was young.
I only want you, that's the end of it.
Hey, enough. I've been so busy I'm about to die. I'm begging you, I haven't been able to rest.
Go home, I need to sleep.
I won't go.
Are you afraid of me? That's why you're rejecting me?
I'm telling you, for you,
I could break my daughter and father bond with my dad, I could leave my family. I only want you.
I'm so nice to you, you're still not convinced?
You won't even cherish a girl as good as me?
Are you done?
No. Zheng Hao, did you reject me
because you were afraid that my father would fire you? It's fine, we could elope.
We could go overseas, my mum could give me lots of money. We can live really happily.
Stop making trouble, okay?
If you continue like this, we won't even be able to be friends.
No way, you must give me a response today. I want to marry you, I want to be with you.
Fine, I'll tell you the truth.
Listen carefully, I don't like you.
I already have someone I like, her name is Tang Ning.
Alright? I only like her.
Is that enough?
Hurry and leave.
Tang Ning! Tang Ning!
Can you not hear me calling you?!
You're ignoring me, right? Tang Ning! Stand there!
Stand there! You can't go!
Tang Jing, can you stop messing around?
I'm about to do my judicial exam, I need to study at the library. Can you not stand in my way?
Does that matter to me?
If you don't say it clearly today, you're not allowed to go.
What is it between you and Zheng Hao?
Did you keep wrecking our relationship behind our backs?
I've said it, I didn't.
Fine, you say you didn't, right?
Then from today on, don't let me see you together with Zheng Hao.
Why?
Because he's my boyfriend. My mum also said,
as long as I'm willing, she will let me marry Zheng Hao.
Tang Jing,
can you stop thinking so wishfully?
I'm thinking wishfully?
Tang Ning, I'll say it again,
Zheng Hao is my boyfriend! You can't fight over him with me!
Since young, I've never fought or steal anything from you. As long as you wanted it, I would give it to you.
Have you forgotten?
Did you hear what I said?! You can't fought over him with me! Tang Ning!
Boss Zhong.
Take a seat.
What is it? How's the draft of Aunt Tang's will coming along?
I've already made a draft once, but...
Aunt Tang's request was a bit unique this time.
What?
She asked for your guarantee,
a guarantee that after she passes away, that you won't marry a new wife.
You must also guarantee that you won't have other children elsewhere.
She still doesn't trust me.
How many cases about inheritance have we sorted through?
When making their will, which person
wouldn't think about the past and future and feeling suspicious of everything?
Then just add in the condition.
Boss Zhong,
how actually is Aunt Tang's condition?
Has it come to the point where she has to make a will no matter what?
Your words are very unprofessional.
What does you mean by "she has to make a will no matter what"?
Who can guarantee that no accidents can happen? Things can happen in an instant.
That's true.
But this is happening to Aunt Tang.
I still can't bear it.
There's no choice. I am feeling sad too.
How really is her condition?
Lung cancer, terminal stage.
Is that true?
Don't tell anyone this.
Does Aunt Tang know?
I didn't let her know.
The doctor said she needs to undergo treatment.
This can't be hidden for much longer.
Missus, your Chinese medicine is prepared.
I've told you, but why haven't you remembered, Auntie Wang?
The medicine needs to be put in a cup,
don't put it in a bowl. Not a bowl!
I've remembered. I'll change it next time.
Missus, I'm Auntie Qin. I'm new here.
Servants are better if they're old. I got used to them.
Missus, I will do my best.
Alright, go.
I still have a lot to do.
I can't die in a moment.
I can't die.
Brother Bo!
Hey, how did you come in?
You're telling me off? You didn't even lock the door.
Can you come in casually when I don't lock the door?
Isn't this half my home too? Seriously. Here, happy birthday.
Thank you, thank you.
- You still remember my birthday.- Of course.
It's your birthday tomorrow, let's have dinner together.
No need. Don't you understand me?
I am already very happy with your present.
Then don't think of a birthday celebration, let's just drink and have dinner.
Truly, there's no need. I have an appointment with someone else.
Is there anything else?
I...this is it.
Brother Bo.
No, why do I think that you've been a bit odd recently?
You're not angry with me, right?
I'm angry with you? Why would I be angry with you?
Oh! I know. I know what you're talking about.
For you to have come to the office, it was Boss Zhong's decision. I agreed with it too.
Also, when he asked you to be the main lawyer
and told me to cooperate with you, I had nothing against that either.
You don't mind what the people at the law firm office are saying.
Don't you know what's between us? It's fine.
Alright.
You're really not going to have dinner with me tomorrow?
No need.
- Then if that's so, you owe me a meal.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Remember it.
- I'm going.- I won't be walking you.
- Lock the door for me!- Sure.
President.
My body doesn't feel so well recently. I might have to go to the hospital.
How's your progress with understanding Zheng Hao's situation?
Yes, I've heard of some new situations yesterday.
Boss Zhong really does care a lot about Zheng Hao.
Haven't you realised the time he spends at Hai Ming Office is more than at the company?
Yeah, it's quite a bit.
Boss Zhong has lent Tang Ye Corporation's apartment to Zheng Hao.
He said it's to let him work in peace.
I got it, go.
President, let me say one more thing. Boss Zhong cares about Zheng Hao so much,
what's the reason for him to stop Zheng Hao from dating Xiao Jing?
Leave.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Where's Zheng Hao and them? Why are they still not here?
What time is it already? Why are they late?
I didn't tell them to come.
What?
Today, I've paid for the whole venue.
This way.
Xiao Ning,
I want to talk to you about my feelings today.
We grew up together since young.
Nobody understands us more than we do each other.
So I was thinking, we...
Our relationship...
...could have more space to expand.
I don't want to only be your "Brother Dai Bo".
You- you- you, don't speak.
Did you want to say,
that you actually only want me to be your Brother Dai Bo?
Xiao Ning, you knew, to you-
To you, my heart has never changed.
Especially coming back this time,
after going through so much, I realised,
that you really needed someone beside you to be with you, to protect you.
I want to protect you. I want to protect you forever.
- Uh...- Don't speak.
Did you want to say that you still haven't decided?
It's fine. As long as you understand my heart, it's fine.
It's just that I haven't officially confessed to you before.
So I chose today, my birthday,
for me to officially confess to you.
Give me a chance, let me protect you.
This is a wedding ring.
You don't need to answer me today, but I hope
that you could keep this ring. After
you've agreed, when you're willing for me to be with you,
put on the ring and come find me.
That will be the day when I'm the happiest.
Brother Dai Bo, I'm sorry. I don't know
if I've sent some wrong signals to you or
if some of my actions has lead to your misunderstanding,
that I wanted to change my relationship with you.
But Brother Dai Bo, you need to know, that I've always seen you as an older brother since young.
This haven't changed.
It has never changed. I'm sorry.
I said, that you didn't have to answer me right away.
- I'll give you time.- I don't need time.
Brother Dai Bo, you...
