[The Way We Were]
[Episode 17]
In less than a year, she met a
foreigner who is rich and has status.
In less than half a year, she made him my stepfather.
The two of them got married very soon after
and even gave birth to a mixed race little brother of mine.
Truthfully speaking
I was quite happy at that time.
Because financially, a lot really changed.
My younger brother was really cute, Adam.
Although it is a halfway home,
it gave me sense of belonging.
Isn't that great?
Listen to me finish. Not long after,
everything changed.
That year when I was thirteen,
my stepfather, he...
...started to look at me differently.
Whenever my mom wasn't around, he would often
make physical contact with me which I wasn't comfortable with.
Then he would show that he feels guilty and apologizes to me.
At that time I was really young and didn't understand much.
So I tolerated for a long time. But, one day,
I finally told my mom about it.
I hoped that my mother can help me resolve that kind of trouble.
During that summer,
I finally was able to wait for my mother's solution.
Between her seemingly perfect family
and her daughter that's bringing her interlacing emotions,
she chose to give up on me.
She brought me to ride a plane,
sent to a dormitory school here in San Francisco,
bought me that house,
and provided for my food and clothing.
She then went back to her New York family by herself,
and left me here alone.
Ever since I was fourteen, I've always be alone.
No home. No Mother.
I only have a house and a well-provided living expenses.
In the eyes of my classmates and friends,
I am just
a rich and free-spirited
a person who loves to party, Monica.
Only I knew that
I was a person who was abandoned.
A person no one wanted.
Homeless.
I always wanted a home.
But I just couldn't find it.
My Dad was the first to abandon me.
Then my Mom abandoned me.
I seemed to be destined to live and die alone.
Actually I have thought
that if I can bear to
give away a kidney now,
I can then get them to welcome me back to that home again.
But I knew.
that even if I give out a kidney this time,
I can't prevent that next time, I'll get abandoned again.
Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing.
What's Monica's condition?
Her condition has stabilized, but her emotions still isn't.
Here this is your bag.
You haven't eaten breakfast right? I brought pizza for you.
Thanks. I still have a class later, so I'll get going now. Thank you then.
Take that and eat them when you get the time.
Thanks.
The previous classes have covered most of the basic elements of murder
The contents like criminal act, criminal intent
cognition of errors of facts etc.
from this class on we will be combining cases
in order to study the charges
Now you may have heard from your upper classman
or you may have googled my class
So you understand the intensity of this class.
But if you think the pressure
from your previous assignments is already overwhelming
then I suggest you double
the time and intensity you invest in this class.
So, let's begin with the first case.
O.J. Simpson murder case.
Now O.J. Simpson's murder is one of the most famous cases in American judicial history.
So we're going to begin with that case.
Now who can tell me what is the charge against Simpson?
Simpson was sued for two first degree murders.
The murder Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Very good.
What are the elements consisting in the crime?
The elements include criminal intent, criminal act
and the casualties between the two.
Sit down, that was good.
Only by forming a complete chain of evidence
Can we prove the murder's criminal behavior.
In the case of Simpson
What did the prosecutor do to prove criminal behavior?
Which of the evidence was incomplete?
And what result did that incomplete evidence cause?
You!
Wake her up.
You.
Answer my question.
Professor, could you please repeat your question?
In the Simpson case
What evidence did the prosecution present
to prove Simpson's criminal behavior?
The main— the main evidence includes
The gloves with blood found in Simpson's villa.
The socks with blood found under his bed.
And it was confirmed that DNA
That DNA matched that of the victims.
Whats more there were several blood spots in Simpson's car.
And the footprint discovered at the crime scene
was left by a 12 sized shoe.
Which of the evidence was incomplete?
What mistakes did the prosecution make
that allowed for the jury to move for the acquittal of this case!
Sorry Professor, I don't know the answer.
Why?
Because I haven't complete the assigned reading.
And what are you doing sleeping in my class?
I understand you have a lot of pressure as a freshman in law school.
But the first year of law school is to transform yourself
from common people to the elite to practice law.
Now you must take that very seriously. That's a personal decision.
You understand?
Now who can answer that question for her?
You. And I hope you read the material.
I believe
a key point of evidence overlooked by the prosecution is the absence of the murder weapon.
According to the autopsy report, the murder weapon was a sharp knife.
To this day, it has not been found.
Nor a single witness to the crime ever stepped forward.
Possession of murder weapon and eye witnesses are both essential in forming a criminal case.
This left the defense a great opportunity to refute the prosecution's case.
In addition, there means of evidence collection was also called into question.
Since the police searched Simpson's home without warrant
Thereby violating his protection against illegal search and seizure
guarantee by the fourth amendment
Finally, the credibility of Mark Forman,
The detective who founded the bloody glove and
the prosecution's star witness was called into doubt
Forman testified that around quarter past ten that night, Simpson drove his jeep
to his ex-wife's apartment and then went back to his residence
about two miles away after he murdered the victims.
The prosecution used the detective's testimony as their court evidence.
But the defense objected based on Forman's past documented racist behavior.
Eventually, the detective went from the one providing testimony to the one being doubted.
And it was even suspected of framing Simpson.
Detective Forman's lack of credibility hurt the prosecution's claims
Furthermore of the twelve member jury
Eight of the jurors were African American
It's not difficult to imagine how destructive the defense's claims
of racism were to the prosecution's case.
In accordance with proving the defendant's guilt as beyond reasonable doubt,
The jury had no choice but to acquit Mr. Simpson.
Since there was no establish chain of evidence linking him to the murders
of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Excellent.
You can sit down.
But don't let this happen again and I hope you learned something from this.
Okay thank you all for coming, that's the end of this session.
I'll stay here for 5 minutes to answer questions.
So, thank you and I'll see you tomorrow.
Shu Che is a vile person. That professor is a ghostly beast. And all those people in that classroom were unfair to you.
I know why you didn't go home last night. Catherine already told me.
Why didn't you explain all these to them? Why must you endure this unfair treatment?
There's nothing to explain or to complain.
Is there anything that I can help you with?
Letting be alone is helping me. How I want I could divide myself to do several things 24 hours a day.
Cheng Ran, I really don't have the time to be your pal.
I'll then pay for all your idle time. Accompany me to eat, drink, and have fun. What do you think about that deal?
Be my girlfriend and let me take care of you.
You don't have to be my girlfriend. Let me take care of you.
Although I know that you want to help me, you are making me feel more awful.
Maybe you will feel that I'm being too delicate. But I will continue to be like this.
Also, please stop following me. Dealing with you is more tiring than doing part-time jobs.
I still need to go and look for work.

Auntie
Are you there Auntie?
Auntie?
Sorry Daughter.
I've gone back to New York already. Recuperate well.
Forget that I've come this time and said those words.
Whether you can forgive me or not, I'm still your mother.
I brought you books and clothes.
My Mom left.
She spared my kidney.
Come in.
Frank, the heir is here.
Why is he here? Didn't boss forbid him from coming here?
Little Chairman Cheng, I'll go make you coffee.
No need, I just need to say something before leaving.
Give me my father's apartment key card.
This doesn't seem right. He still will be using it when he gets back.
He won't be back that soon. Come, give me the card.
Chairman Cheng has given instructions that you're not allowed to use it.
He's not here so he won't know that you disobeyed him.
If you offend me...I have great memories.
Don't tell my father. You know what to do with the expenses that will be incurred.
My little ancestor, can you at least tell me beforehand how much you will be spending this time?
I guarantee that I will be diligent and thrifty.
I presently have a girlfriend that treats money as shit.
How long will this project go?
Forever
The sun has risen from the west.
You will serve a new hostess.
The same way as you serve my father.
Whatever she wants or needs, you satisfy her needs.
And you'll do whatever she wants you to do
She's still studying in University
So she has a lot of work to do
It means that if she requires space, you disappear.

-Hi. -Hi Handsome
Xiao Qing is not here, she just left.
I know. We bumped into each other earlier. It's her who asked me to come here.
Why are you here?
She didn't tell you?
No.
She let me come here to help her pack. To move house.
Move house?
She never said that before.
Maybe because...she was just shy.
Why?
Because she's living in my house.
She's moving into your house?
Omg
Both of you?
Okay
Wait
This, you need to bring this for Xiao Qing
No need for these. I'll buy her more expensive ones.
These are her favorites. She has to use it everyday.
Fine. Fine.
Monica is still at the hospital, she doesn't know Xiao Qing is moving
Xiao Qing will tell her
I don't think Monica will be happy once she hears this.
Actually part of me is happy for you guys
The other half of me is not happy
You all are welcome to come to my house to have fun.
Bye Bye
I'll try my best to be happier.
What are you doing?
I'm afraid of you.
Why are you afraid of me?
I get so exhausted every time I see you.
I swear.
I guarantee that I won't give you anymore tips every day and temporarily won't mention about providing for you.
Thank you for not providing for me.
You must do as you said. A person should have integrity.
Sure. Let's talk about serious matters.
I wanted to introduce you to an awesome job.
One against one. Not tiring. No disturbances. I'm sure that you'll like it.
Are you serious?
It's true. And I'll take you now to meet your employer.
Let's go.
The employer you're saying is in here?
That's right.
This place looks so high class.
What job is this?
You'll know once you get there.
Over here.
You even have their house key?
Come in.
Good afternoon, Miss Xiao. Welcome.
It's a great honor to serve you. Please allow me to show you around the place.
Thank you, you don't need to show me around.
Please just take me to see the employer.
Employer? Are you talking about Mr. Cheng?
The home owner is you?
No, it's you.
What do you mean?
Leave them there.
Why is my suitcase here?
What are you up to?
Is this the job that you found for me?
Your job starting today is to live here
You can eat whatever you want for 3 meals a day.
You also don't need to care about the house chores. Everything will be taken care of
by Linda. If you want to be alone, just tell her to leave.
For the salary...don't think about it anymore.
You're dishonest. It's as if you never said your promises at all.
No. I didn't spend a single cent on you.
Didn't spend a single cent?
Is this house blown by here by the wind?
This house
This house was blown here by my father.
It's even your dad's?!
That's right. When he comes to the US, he lives here. But he only comes a few times every year.
I think it's a waste. So I'm letting you live here.
Don't worry. He won't be coming to the US for the meantime.
Sorry I will not accept it.
If you want to live by your own strength, fine.
I really didn't spend a single cent on you. I'm helping you save money, can't I do that?
You stay here. Stay here as long as you want.
You also don't need to do illegal jobs just to pay for your living expenses.
You also don't need to divide and crush time so you can use it well.
In here, just steadfastly focus on your studies.
Survive this hardest and dreadful first year.
I'm just helping you based on the method that you need. Am I really that annoying?!
I don't like it.
You are making me like you, spending your dad's money,
living my days without doing anything worthwhile, without the need to work hard.
Spending my Dad's money. My Dad's money will eventually my money.
This is why I don't work hard.
I have the money to indulge in a life of luxury and be idle all day.
To be my girlfriend, you only need to fulfill 2 conditions,
be very beautiful and squander money like dirt. You can be it as long as you're willing.
Why do you people have to work and strive hard?
Isn't it so that you can become like us one day?
Achieving something. Isn't that so you can be rich in the future?
Why then won't you take the money from someone who's just idling his time away?
Xiao Qing
With money and love, can't you just put your pride aside?
This is not a problem about pride.
Cheng Ran, the reason I'm rejecting you
it is not because of my pride but my morals.
We both are people of the same path. My beliefs for you
is stupid, dumb, and idiotic. But your lifestyle for me is
invaluable.
My family doesn't need any more value.
My father right now is still increasing its worth by rocket speed.
What value must I still produce?
Your so-called value is still about money.
But what I'm talking about are things that you can't see.
What I can't see? Am I blind to not see it?
It's about the meaning of living.
Discussing about getting provided and you two ended up talking about life philosophies.
Aren't you afraid of ending up with nothing because of making your stride too big?
Are you planning to make this your love nest with her?
No. She's going to live here by herself. If you don't believe me, ask Linda.
Hey Xiao Qing
You really are a disgrace to us rich people.
- Don't hit me! -Let me tell you that it's not me who's hitting you now. I'm representing all rich people in hitting you.
- Giving money, a house, a car, and bringing her here. - It hurts...
Haven't you degraded yourself enough?! You even got insulted by Cinderella as being invaluable.
Where's your power as a rich man?! Where's your rich man integrity?
What do you know? This is called love!
What do you know about love?!
Why are you back?
You two already broke up that fast?
It's you who helped us be together.
Aren't you two together already?

How is Monica?
She's not talking much. Let's give her some time.
I'll go up to tell her to come down and eat with us.
How is Adam now?
Is there any news on his kidney source?
Then...did the doctor say how long must he wait in line?
This is what we can only do now, is that it?
I...got discharged today. I'm quite fine.
Stop! Where are you going?
Where are you going?
To school.
I'll go with you.
Why?
You tricked me into searching for my initial love intention, but you actually just want to have another love.
I'm announcing that I'm reinstating my monitoring and restricting rights as your wife.
Where is my dignity as a rich person?
It has long been thrown away by you.
- Let go. - No.
- Move! - No!
Let go.
Not letting go. I'll go with you.
Okay. Get in.
Little rascal! You tricked me again!
You rascal...
Today, mobile phones have replaced personal computers. We almost can do anything...
When I was little, we don't have any mobile phones.
The smart phone is the new computer.
- Yeah! - This side talks first.
- Hurry and let me see. Let me see. - Stop messing around.
This side talks first.
Your call.
200.
- On the first round, I will first... - I'm not messing around. We have such good cards so why don't you add more?
Open your cards.
200 then.
Ha? We lost?
What do you think?
One more round... Hurry.
No, Sister Card, Empress Card, please just go back first.
I'll watch Cheng Ran for you. He won't be able to escape.
No. I just like watching Cheng Ran playing cards here.
Cheng Ran, you're going to have a hopeless life like this from now on?
I am unable to play anymore.
Hey, Cheng Ran! Wait for me!
I'm so mad! I can't wait for even a minute anymore.
This time, I don't care what the price is, I must not pay any price.
Except for your lawyer's fee.
Lawyer Kang, can you help me get this marriage divorced? Please?
Is there any problem?
I can only say that I will do my best.
As the lawyer of Mr. Cheng Ran, I'm fully representing him in requesting for a divorce from you.
Ms. Jin Lu, Mr. Cheng Ran
has currently completed all his duties stated in your marriage contract deal.
He already helped you get a green card that's effective for 2 years.
Hence, you two should give each other freedom now.
As for the problem of getting transformed into a permanent residence that you're worried about, may you just personally
go to the immigration bureau within 90 days before your green card expires to process it.
Show the divorce orders that the court issued and
bring out evidences that you and Cheng Ran once were in love.
Evidences that we were once in love?
Yes. For example, pictures of you two,
love letters, or testimony from friends.
As long as you can prove that you two did get married
not just to get a green card,
and that you two divorced mainly because of a fractured relationship.
But there are no breaks in our relationship.
It's obvious that in this aspect, you two are not...
....that you and Mr. Cheng Ran haven't reached an agreement on this aspect.
Hence, you two don't satisfy the conditions for an easy and simple divorce.
