Hold up, I need to talk to you.
Congratulations.
You have a few extra days before you will lose.
There's something wrong with that video.
It was not Song Xinrui who shot it.
When you have evidence, let's discuss that.
Miss Gu,
thank you so much
for recommending such a good lawyer to me.
She recommended me?
Yes. I did.
You didn't know?
Miss Gu specifically recommended you to me.
I thought you two were close.
It seems your relationship
is complicated.
Guess it was meant to be.
You wanted to cause trouble for me,
but ended up worse off instead.
When you make a mistake,
admit it.
Don't deny it
when you're wrong.
That's bad.
Lin Xingran,
you are so cool!
Awesome!
Won by a landslide.
Let's go!
I was nervous when I got to court.
I was afraid Gu Siyu had some evidence
I didn't know about.
However, we prevailed in the end.
You're in a good mood.
Of course! I feel great.
Remember when you
asked me about the firecracker incident?
It happened when we were kids.
A group of us played together.
And one of us
set off a firecracker
that hurt Gu Siyu's eye by accident.
Her eye was badly injured.
At that time, she claimed that I was to blame.
But it wasn't me.
No one believed me.
So I was kicked out of school.
10 years later,
things have changed.
Finally,
justice is on my side!
Did you see
how she looked just now?
She was definitely ticked off.
This is the best thing to happen
to me since I became a lawyer.
The best moment ever!
Is it worth being so happy?
Of course.
Why?
Because I'm right and she's wrong.
What if that's not true?
Impossible.
Gu Siyu is right.
You're wrong.
What are you talking about?
Jiang Fanglei shot that video
to blame Song Xinrui.
She drew a daisy here
to deliberately look like Song Xinrui.
You heard that?
Impossible!
You must be lying.
Tell me you are lying.
What I said is true.
It was Jiang Fanglei who shot the video.
Both of you have been tricked.
I don't want to know.
Gu Siyu is right. You are wrong.
Then what do you want me to do?
Apologize to her?
No way. I will never do that.
You have made a mistake.
So you have to admit it.
Isn't that what you told Gu Siyu?
What's the difference between you two
if you behave like this?
I thought you were following me to help me,
but instead you're a stumbling block.
Ms. Lin,
get in.
Ms. Lin,
get in the car.
I will drive you home.
Why did you follow me?
I'm warning you.
I'm in a really bad mood.
Stay away from me.
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
I need to talk to you, too.
You already knew Gu Siyu recommended me, right?
Does it matter either way?
Of course, it matters.
If Gu Siyu recommended me,
then she's plotting something.
She wants to cause trouble for me.
You clearly get upset too easily.
So I'm glad I didn't tell you before.
You really didn't know before.
But you've handled this case well.
Right.
You said I did well?
So,
you're praising me?
Yes.
Why don't I feel happier?
So difficult.
What should I do?
I don't want to lose to Zhang Xiaoyang,
or even worse, Gu Siyu.
I have to win.
Should I ignore the truth?
Xingran, I've done everything I can do to help you.
What happens tonight
is up to you two.
Good luck!
Oh no!
What are you doing?
My mom is up there!
Don't let her see us here.
Why not?
Long story. Listen, just duck.
Quick! Quick!
I'll get out of the car if you don't tell me.
Don't let my mom see us.
Please, please.
Are you bickering with your mom?
Why would I bicker with my mom?
This must be your fault.
Mine?
Is it because your mom invited me to dinner?
What?
She is coming! Hide!
My mom invited you to dinner?
She's calling you.
No! Don't! Don't answer your phone!
Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
Mr. Zhang,
this is Xingran's mom.
Do you still remember I invited you to dinner tonight?
No. You can't.
Ma'am,
I'm so sorry.
I'm too busy today.
So I'm afraid I cannot go.
You're busy?
Well, how about this?
You have to work overtime alone, right?
How about I bring some food to you?
Thanks, ma'am.
But I'll eat out with my client tonight.
So I won't be at the office.
I'm rather busy now.
Talk to you later.
Hello? Hello?
He hung up before I finished talking?
Remember,
do not answer the phone
if my mom calls you again.
Don't leave her even a sliver of...
hope.
She's coming! She's coming!
Quick, get down!
Such a fancy car.
That was so scary!
So,
why can't your mom
see that you're with me?
My mom likes you so much
that she wants me to marry you.
That's terrifying.
Yes, it is.
What do you mean by "terrifying"?
You are no better than me.
So you mean
I should consider marrying you?
Of course.
Of course not.
Actually, it's really a shame.
I had planned to
make her dreams come true today.
Don't be so nervous.
I mean your mom cooks very well.
I just wanted to eat her delicious food.
I wasn't nervous.
By the way,
I'll go to the courthouse for a new case tomorrow.
Why don't you come and learn something?
I'm busy with Jiang Fanglei's case.
It's a difficult period for me.
Can I skip your hearing?
No way,
you must come.
Bye.
My key's not here?
I can call Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia.
Hang on.
Gu Siyu is right. You are wrong.
You have made a mistake.
So you have to admit it.
Isn't that what you told Gu Siyu?
What's the difference between you two
if you behave like this?
If I call him now,
I will lose face.
I won't call him.
I thought you were following me to help me,
but instead you are a stumbling block.
That's funny.
There are balloons!
Yes.
Daddy, I want to buy toys over there.
Okay.
Jiang Xia,
wait here for us.
We'll come back to get you.
Take this.
Which one do you like?
The rabbit?
-You go first. -Okay, let's go.
Coming!
Hello,
is this your child?
Yes,
thank you.
You're welcome.
Jiang Xia,
you are finally back.
Where did you go?
I have been looking for you.
Why did you come back?
All you do is cause us trouble.
You're nothing but a stumbling block for us.
I'm not a stumbling block.
I'm not.
It's been days since I told Jiang Xia I liked him.
And I haven't talked to him since.
Is he hiding from me on purpose
to avoid the extra bother?
Why don't you go home?
I don't have a home.
Listen,
when I told you before that I liked you,
I was just joking.
Don't take it seriously.
Think of it like a fart.
Like that.
He wouldn't refuse me directly, right?
We can still be friends, right?
Don't worry, we are still friends.
It's so late, why aren't you back yet?
I heard
you were having dinner with Zhang Xiaoyang.
How did you hear that?
Never mind.
Come home quickly.
I forgot my key.
Where are you going?
Why are you sleeping out here?
You know you need to come home?
I've been waiting for you for ages.
Shall we
end our quarrel?
Who wants to quarrel with you?
I stopped being angry hours ago.
Go open the door.
What's wrong?
I can't move.
I can't feel my legs.
What are you doing?
Put me down.
We're inside now.
Put me down.
Wow!
This is too much!
What's that smell?
Can't you tell from these decorations?
It's the smell of love.
Let's go check it out.
Over there, move it.
Hurry up.
Can't you walk by yourself?
What did my mom cook?
Good Lord.
Is she trying to kill him with these stinky dishes?
I think the food looks delicious.
She's coming! She's coming!
Quick, get down!
= Gu Siyu =
Why ask me out so late?
What's up?
Could you please help me persuade Lin Xingran?
I want to settle this case.
That's out of my control.
You care about her so much?
I don't want to interfere in her choices.
If you were in her position,
would you settle?
No way.
I don't want to get involved.
I can overlook the fact
that you recommended a client to us
that you didn't want.
But if I find out that
you're playing tricks on my men,
I won't be so nice.
You mean Lin Xingran, right?
During the trial,
all of your attention was on her.
Xiaoyang, you like her, don't you?
You've had a lot to drink.
I'll drive you home.
Do you know why I retained Song Xinrui
instead of Jiang Fanglei?
It's because I know,
deep hatred doesn't exist between women.
The issue here is unrequited love.
Zhang Xiaoyang,
no matter what I say,
you will never understand.
What are you thinking?
I made a bet with Zhang Xiaoyang.
If I lose this case,
I will have to be his workhorse.
So what are you going to do?
I can't figure out
what Jiang Fanglei is thinking.
She drew a tattoo on her body
to look like Song Xinrui.
She performed this stunt all by herself.
It's crazy.
Look,
she looks so normal and calm here.
I'd never guess she could do things like this.
Doesn't she realize
she's hurting herself more than her enemy?
Look.
All she wants to do is punish Song Xinrui.
Comb through the case files again
in case you missed something,
like some evidence or important people.
You should talk to her
to learn what she's really thinking.
Ms. Lin,
just ask directly
what you want to know.
You shot the video.
And drew that tattoo on yourself, right?
I thought you were the victim here.
If Song Xinrui hadn't made herself look like me,
I'd never have gone this far.
She disgusts me, you understand?
I'm just fighting fire with fire.
Ms. Lin,
in this life,
it's survival of the fittest.
She's getting what she deserves.
So you think you're helping karma out?
If karma exists,
do you think you can escape it?
In both love and the law,
only one person wins.
We share common interests.
Neither of us wants to lose.
I don't want to lose.
But I don't want to win this way.
The defendant intentionally embezzled = The 1st People's Court of Wanjiang =
the foundation's funds.
This is a fact no matter how much
she donated.
The defendant claims that
she was treated unfairly
by the foundation's security guards.
But according to the surveillance video,
all of the security guards were female,
and they were polite to the defendant.
Many people surrounded me.
Their mouths were moving quickly.
They were clearly yelling at me.
Defense counsel,
do you have anything to say?
Defense counsel,
please answer my question.
Do you have anything to add?
Defense counsel,
please observe the court rules.
Answer my question. -What's he doing?
Defense counsel,
can't you hear me?
Forgive me.
Just now, I wanted to re-create what
my client deals with daily.
Relevance, defense counsel.
Just now, the way all of you felt
is how my client feels constantly.
No matter how many times she speaks up,
no one can hear her.
I only kept silent for 50 seconds.
Yet the judge became angry
in less than a minute.
My client has lived
with this kind of indifference for 50 years.
Why can't we try harder
to listen and truly understand her?
Must the disabled
and disadvantaged be pitied?
Must they always be forgiven?
Understanding things from her perspective
is not pity.
She cannot be understood in her daily life
or express her feelings.
If she sees someone looking sternly at her,
she fears they are yelling at her.
That's because she's dealt with
similar situations in the past.
Is there any connection
between whether we understand her or not
and her embezzling funds?
For the past 50 years of silence,
my client never once vented
or released pent up feelings of mistreatment.
Instead,
she kept donating money to the foundation,
to help people
who needed the money.
She eventually donated 500,000 yuan.
My client now has debt and needed money,
so she asked if she could
borrow from the foundation.
But they refused.
She was so desperate
that she used this method to get her money back.
My client
has admitted her mistake.
We hope the court will be lenient.
Zhang Xiaoyang
really has skills.
What did you think, Ms. Lin?
Not bad.
There's room for improvement though.
Keep learning.
This comment is what you should tell yourself.
How did you
think of getting people's empathy suddenly
and get them all on your side?
I wasn't playing the emotional card.
I was just presenting the facts.
I think you need to learn
how to think from your client's perspective.
Think about what they really want.
Sometimes your client needs
emotional comfort,
as well as a court's decision
to let go of their anger and grievances.
That's more important than winning.
I've decided.
I'll have those two women get it all out.
Didn't you hear what I said?
I'm gonna have those two women talk it out.
I'll make them settle.
My client needs to tell her mortal enemy
exactly what she told me privately.
I'll focus more on getting them to say
what they are thinking privately.
Good.
You aren't really listening.
I'm giving up this easy win,
and I'm going to admit I was wrong.
The average person doesn't have this much integrity.
So why would I do this?
Obviously,
I'm above average.
Getting them to settle
is the only way that
I won't completely lose to Gu Siyu.
Jiang Xia, you laughed.
You are laughing at me.
Is this funny?
I laughed because I'm happy.
You're still the Lin Xingran I knew before.
So,
you should take back what you said before.
What did I say?
You said I'm just like Gu Siyu.
I'm nothing like her.
I will never be like her.
She can't admit she's wrong.
You are different.
You are different from her.
You are different from everyone.
In my heart, you're one of a kind.
I know that.
I will be busy from now on.
So as my shadow,
you need to keep looking out for me.
Got it?
How can I get those two to settle?
They hate each other.
The boyfriend.
What boyfriend?
You mean,
the reason they disagreed in the first place
and the one who caused this whole mess is
the boyfriend?
If that guy can mediate for them,
then they can both
be honest with each other.
We have the same idea.
I already found that guy's address for you.
This community is the one
Song Xinrui often comments from
on her social media.
Well done.
We're in sync.
Have a good rest.
Hang on.
-What? -Come here.
You can't go wearing clothes like this.
I should buy some clothes for you online.
Really?
-You'll buy clothes for me? -Yes.
That's a little embarrassing.
Why would it be?
Just transfer me some money.
How do you like this one?
Look, they're all 70% off.
This one. This will match what I'll be wearing.
That's it.
I guess it's fine.
I'll finish the order then.
Remember to send me the money!
Jiang Xia, you ready?
How do I look?
Is it good enough to be Ms. Lin's assistant?
I have a good taste.
The suit I picked looks great.
He looks surprisingly handsome in a suit.
Who's there?
Hello,
I'm Lin Xingran from Cheng Tian Law Firm.
I'm the lawyer of your girlfriend, Jiang Fanglei.
This is...
Come here.
This is my assistant, Jiang Xia.
Do you have a few minutes to speak with us
about her case?
What's wrong with you?
Don't bother me again!
He's the only chance I have of getting them to settle.
If he is unwilling to mediate,
there's no way they will settle.
I don't need that.
You may catch a cold.
Wear it.
I don't feel as embarrassed about things like this
when he is with me.
You should go to school.
I will figure something out.
No. I'm staying with you.
How about we go to Feng Zhe's again?
Forget it.
Do you want to get poured with water?
I've got an idea.
Follow me.
Mr. Feng.
You've poured your water.
Can we talk now?
I have nothing to say to you.
I will die if Jiang Fanglei finds out.
Those two women are so annoying and troublesome.
You're unwilling to help us
because you think they'll cause more trouble, right?
How does he know what I'm thinking?
Right.
I can hear what you're thinking.
You can't just walk in like this!
Here's the thing.
I'll be honest.
Song Xinrui is my ex-girlfriend.
I really feel bad about what happened.
But,
my mom was against our relationship.
The truth is,
she's really great.
We started dating in school,
but,
we broke up two years ago.
She was never like this before!
What about Jiang Fanglei?
She is great.
My mom introduced her to me.
She is my mom's colleague's uncle's daughter.
Why did Song Xinrui
make herself look like Jiang Fanglei?
Why would I know?
My mom is mad at her.
She caused trouble at my mom's place.
This is why you should help
put an end to their dispute.
My mom doesn't want me to get involved.
My mom told me that...
Your mom, mom, mom!
How old are you?
You're the one dating these girls, not your mom!
How can you talk to me like that?
What's wrong?
Can't you see everything's a mess now?
Want your mom to fix this? Impossible!
Now listen up!
By now you know that
this indecent video
is spreading everywhere.
But what you don't know is
the woman in that video is not who you think.
Isn't the woman in the video Song Xinrui?
No. It's Jiang Fanglei.
She copied Song Xinrui's tattoo,
and made a sex tape
to get revenge on her.
You see?
These two women are even crazier than you expected.
It's out of hand, right?
So listen to me,
if you continue to remain indifferent,
who knows
what crazy thing will happen next.
Then no one can help you.
Not even your mom.
The woman in the video is Fanglei?
Then,
I was cuckolded?
As a man,
I can understand how you feel now.
Mr. Feng.
Actually,
the current situation is not all bad.
You can think of it in a positive way.
Let me help you analyze what's happened.
Right now, all of us know the truth.
What's more,
Song Xinrui's lawyer knows this as well.
If the evidence of this is shown
at the next court trial,
everyone will know
both your ex-girlfriend and your girlfriend
cuckolded you.
Imagine the gossip!
Even a great scriptwriter couldn't make this up.
It'll be all over the Internet.
It'll be the top search item for days, right?
By then,
your colleagues,
your friends,
your family,
and even strangers will know this about you!
When you're famous, don't forget us.
Right?
Yeah.
So it's a good thing.
Just keep doing nothing.
Stay out of it.
You really think
this will blow up that big?
Right.
You couldn't be famous otherwise.
So,
keep it up.
Keep it up!
Well, we should go.
You're leaving?
But...
What should I do?
Mommy!
What did you hear him say?
He said
that you're really fierce.
I'm fierce?
I was pretty polite with him.
So, will he help mediate or not?
Don't worry.
Really?
You see, you really did catch a cold.
Let's go to the hospital.
No need.
I'm not that delicate.
Also, I need to prepare for my trial.
No. You must go.
-You don't want to go? -No.
You really won't go?
