Second Time is a Charm
Episode 3
Go on.
Yu Doudou's custody
will be taken by Mr. Yu Feifan.
That is impossible.
You can raise conditions
Conditions?
Yes.
To exchange my son?
Yeah.
God.
You are still a father.
Do your wife and daughter
know the money they spend
is earned by you
in this way?
First,
my child is still young
and she doesn't have to worry about these things.
Second,
her mom had left us
when she wasn't sensible.
So you don't have to worry that
she will feel disgraced
after learning that I earn money in this way.
So this is the reason why you belittle women.
You can't change your fate of being abandoned,
so you watch others being abandoned.
Fine.
We can't reach an agreement today.
I'll leave this agreement here to you.
After you make up your mind, call me.
I have made up my mind.
I will not let go of the custody.
OK.
Then see you in the court.
Good luck.
I don't need good luck.
Believe me, you really need it.
An An.
You break down.
I will go to talk with my cousin.
Find the best lawyer for me.
I must not lose the custody.
Sit down.
Lawyer Qin.
Take a seat.
Since you are Miss Qiu's friend,
I'll take this case.
Thank you.
This case is actually not complicated.
What are we going to do
is to ensure that we can get
more benefits.
I mean the compensation.
How about
the custody?
For such a small child,
the odds are in your favor.
But your situation is special.
You got married directly after graduating from college
without working at all.
The lawyer of the other party will certainly give a large amount of evidence that
you currently have no financial ability
and even working ability to raise the kid.
In addition, you took
him to the UK secretly before.
I have been with Yu for seven years.
He won't take this to deal with me.
What situation are you in now?
It's no exaggeration to say that you're going to fight.
Even if your husband,
no, ex-husband
does not do this,
his lawyer will teach him
and even force him to do this.
This is our disadvantage, so we have to circumvent it.
What we are going to do now
is things about property division.
Then how can I get the custody?
I can work.
I am a graduate of the School of Arts of Jiaotong University.
I am capable of working.
And when I was in college,
I also supplied manuscripts to the comic magazines.
My short set
was shortlisted for the Star Comics Award.
When I was a senior,
Dawang Comics Studio even came to sign me up.
Enough.
You have to think clearly.
Custody may bring
greater economic pressure and mental burden to you.
Even if you get it, it is not necessarily a good thing.
After all,
you are still young.
For the kid,
Yu Feifan can bring him...
I raised Doudou up.
I know what he needs most.
I want to accompany him to grow up.
If you insist in
getting the custody,
you need to find a job first.
Sure.
I can work.
Whether it is suitable or not,
you can't have too many requests.
No matter it's out of your major,
you should work as an intern, assistant or even cleaner
to make sure you have income.
It won't be so miserable.
I graduated from the School of Art of Jiaotong University.
An An.
You became a full-time wife as soon as you graduated
six years ago.
You may not know that
the employment environment is declining year after year.
It's hard for fresh college graduates
to find a professional job.
Your situation now...
But my comics
once won the Star Comics Award?
How about this?
You should have a try
and set yourself a time limit.
If time is up
and you haven't found
a satisfactory job,
stop waiting for it.
Do whatever job you can find.
Okay.
Xu Lang.
A guest must meet you.
I decline.
Lawyer Xu, you give me...
Miss Shen?
I did ask them to let you
wait in my office.
I saw the name of Xu Lang at the door.
So I came in.
Xu Lang.
Long time no see.
I did not expect Lawyer Shen
to be acquainted with Xu Lang.
Then everything is fine.
We were college classmates.
After graduation,
we had no chance to contact each other again.
After graduation, I went to the UK.
There was a good job.
I didn't want to miss that opportunity.
I know.
Congratulations.
Why did Miss Shen suddenly want
to go back to China?
I worked as a real estate consultant
for overseas Chinese.
I've reached the top
and found no room for development.
So I wanted to come back to work in China.
It's good that
you can come back.
You know what?
Our law firm
actually has a lot of business...
Miss Shen.
Since this is the case,
I have a business card of the first-level partner Charles
from Dentons Law Offices.
Dentons Law Offices is also considered
as China's leading law firm.
With your resume,
you are definitely worthy of this law firm.
I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest this time.
Thank you for your advice, Lawyer Xu.
You are welcome, Lawyer Shen.
You still have other things to talk?
I won't disturb you then.
I'm leaving first.
No.
Xu Lang.
How can you push her out?
I think I should leave.
I am more suitable to leave.
Goodbye.
Lawyer Shen.
Xu Lang, you two have been classmates for so many years.
How can you push your business out?
Why so?
Lawyer Shen, I will see you off.
Boss.
She is...
Yes.
No wonder you have a bad look.
Is the car well maintained?
Yes.
Actually, I think
you maintain your car too often.
Maybe.
Caution is the parent of safety.
Since you cherish life so much,
give yourself a vacation.
Don't work so hard.
Don't give yourself so much pressure.
Time is almost up.
I'm leaving.
The companies interviewing you
may not be accessed by
fresh graduates
even thought they try hard.
I am no worse than them.
Which part of you is better than them?
No. Qiu Tian.
You know me.
You forgot
that when we were in college,
I..
My little baby.
That was six years ago.
You were 22 years old six years ago.
Your competitors were also 22 years old.
The whole world was yours.
But now,
your competitor are still 22 years old
and you only have one
resume as a five-year full-time wife
to compete with them for the same position.
How many odds do you have?
That's the reality.
It's okay.
Let's solve all the problems one by one.
We will always find a way out.
What do you mean? Qiu Tian.
I...
You are my best friend.
Am I so worthless in your heart?
Should I find a blue-collar job
as the divorced
middle-aged wives do
and live a miserable life in the TV plays?
This is reality
that I should learn?
Yes.
We have no time now.
You, you have no time.
The lawsuit has been counted down.
You need to weigh it.
Why don't you answer the phone?
Hello.
Okay, wait a moment.
An An.
It's called by the bank.
They said your super black gold card
has abnormal consumption recently.
So they asked you what happened.
I haven't spent
that card for a month?
The anomaly they said is this.
So they called you
to check whether you are fine or not.
Am I fine?
Look.
Unprepared,
I was told to divorce.
And now I can't even keep
my child's custody.
And my best friend,
my bosom girl friend,
is persuading me to find a job
like a waitress pouring tea.
If they think that I'm fine,
then tell them
I'm very fine.
Hello.
Ms. An An is not here now.
She will contact you later.
Okay, thank you.
Goodbye.
After our court accepted the case,
we applied the ordinary procedures according to law
and held a public hearing.
Now I announce the verdict.
Yu Doudou's custody
is taken by An An.
Mom.
Doudou.
Mom.
Doudou.
Mom.
Doudou.
Mom.
An An.
Lawyer Qin.
Are you ready?
Can we pass it if we are not prepared?
Let's go.
Presiding judge. Collegiate bench.
My party, Mr. Yu Feifan
is an excellent husband
and a competent father.
As the founder of Extraordinary Studio,
Mr. Yu Feifan has enough economic ability
to raise his son Yu Doudou
and give him
good educational opportunity.
Therefore,
I think Mr. Yu Feifan...
Yu Feifan used to be my beloved husband.
And at this moment he becomes my enemy.
We used to love each other so much.
We could see the stars, the universe
and the future where
we are holding our child and a dog by the sea
from each other's eyes.
But now,
we can only see cold legal terms
on the printed paper
from each other's eyes.
You are back.
Have you eaten yet?
I told that I was at work.
Can you not always call me
for such a trifle?
Trifle?
You said that I am your most important person.
Why are you always caring about this point?
An An, I am really tired.
I don't want discuss with you
who is more important after working busily for a day.
I...
Where are you going?
Come back.
Honorable judge.
My party, Ms. An An
doesn't have an income as high as Mr. Yu Feifan
because she gave up her job opportunities
for the family.
In addition,
Ms. An An
was the winner of the Star Comics Award.
She is fully capable of finding a job
related to her major.
Opponent lawyer.
What we are discussing today is
who is the best candidate for the guardian?
Obviously,
Ms. An An can't
surpass Mr. Yu Feifan
from the economic level.
Moreover,
she still has no stable job
with a stable source of income.
So all your assumptions
make no sense to me.
I have already said
my party, Ms. An An, didn't work
because she put all her energy
to the family.
Yu Doudou was brought up by her,
which can also explain that,
my party, Ms. An An
stayed with Yu Doudou for longer
with deeper love.
The hospitalized diagnostic materials
of Doudou's injury and hospitalization of these years
have been submitted to the court before.
I thought I had hated Yu Feifan enough.
But at this moment,
my mind is full of
those happiest memories with him.
Wrong manuscripts
will always be huddled
and piled up high.
I don't know when
I can finish it without revising it any more.
Dragging the suitcase I suddenly packed
with embarrassment and flurry,
in the envy of others...
I even want to stand up and announce a truce.
I want to fight for our marriage in the end.
And I don't do this.
Because from Yu Feifan's eyes,
I can't see love
or hatred,
but frozen indifference
and exhaustion wanting to end everything as soon as possible.
Once those
happy memories
actually become insignificant at this moment,
being unworthy of mentioning.
I shed tears
for not only losing my son's custody
but also the end of
the love or kinship
between Yu Feifan
and me
in the worst way.
I
become single again.
The best encountering.
One more cup.
Sister.
Would you like to pay the bill first?
I am not coming here for the first time.
You have no such a rule.
No, sister.
Here is the thing.
You came to drink alone.
If you are drunk later,
who can I ask to pay it?
Can you stop calling me sister?
I am still young now.
My life just begins.
Yes.
You are not my sister.
You are my ancestor.
Please pay the bill first.
Do you think I can't afford the money?
This is my car.
Although it's not a good car,
my name is written on its owning certificate.
I've graduated from college for six years
and haven't worked for a day.
But I can also afford this car.
Is it worthy for me?
I've also graduated for six years.
I still have a card.
Guess how much money I have in it.
I haven't worked for a day.
Six years of youth.
The best time for a girl
is all inside.
Fine. Well, sister,
I will serve you a dozen of drinks.
Okay?
If I didn't come to the company to meet you,
I am afraid you will not see me.
Isn't that a business?
Go ahead.
In these years,
Although I earned a lot
as a real estate broker
for those who want to buy houses in Europe,
I thought the domestic environment was good,
so I came back to develop my career.
You have been working hard.
No one can beat you in this.
Yes.
But I always need to pay a price for something.
The price is quite big.
In fact,
I am quite envious of those
girls who got married right after graduating from college.
Where have you been in these two years?
How come you were missing
without any trace?
What happened?
Can't you tell me?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
Is that Lawyer Xu?
It's me.
Can you hear my voice?
Congratulations
for having a beautiful victory.
You must earn a lot.
Your girlfriend?
No.
A harassing call.
You actually hang my phone.
I am kindly calling you to congratulate you.
You actually hang my phone.
Sister.
Can you...
Let me find a taxi for you.
It's raining soon.
Which hotel do you live?
You don't want to say one more word with me, do you?
No.
I am afraid that you are tired due to a jet lag.
Which hotel?
Are you still running in the morning?
If there is nothing important,
I will still do this.
I will find you in the morning.
I live very close to you.
Let's run together in the morning.
Okay, deal.
I'm sorry.
Hello, what do you want to say?
Hello?
Who?
Where?
Okay, I know.
Thank you, thank you.
Sorry, I have something urgent.
I have to go first.
Okay. Bye.
I will go find you tomorrow.
Then I will go first. You take a taxi yourself.
Mr. Xu?
You called me?
Yes.
Gosh. There are so many numbers in the address book.
Why did you just call me?
You are the first in the call history.
So I...
Sorry for troubling you.
- Nothing, nothing. - Thank you.
Wake up.
You are drunk. They are closing the store.
An An.
Go back home.
Yu.
Who?
Why are you here?
Take care. Take care.
Okay. Go, go, go.
Go home.
Hurry to get a taxi. Go home.
Go.
Let's go home.
I don't have a home any more.
Don't leave me alone.
Don't let me sleep out on the streets.
You drank too much.
Open your eyes and see who I am.
I have already opened my eyes.
Okay.
Don't open them.
Go, go, go.
Go home.
Carry me on back.
Look.
This is the material of creators for the
comic strip of Extraordinary Studio.
They are all new.
They are actually very talented.
And their creation is not bad.
Take care of them later.
Okay.
Come.
Stop.
Who are you calling?
Give me the phone.
No one is allowed to call today.
You have to drink with me.
Drink till dawn.
Are you sick?
It's not enough to drink so much and act wildly?
You are not shameful enough?
I warn you, An An.
You better calm down and tell me clearly
where you live
before I still have the patience to take you home.
Don't be angry.
I won't make trouble anymore.
I will be good.
Go.
But don't leave me alone.
If you leave me alone,
none will care for me.
Hello, sir.
We only have king-size rooms left today.
OK, no problem.
Do you want one room or two rooms?
One is enough. One.
Show me your ID card please.
Okay, wait a minute.
ID card.
Your ID card.
ID card.
I'll take it myself.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Please show yours too.
No, I don't live here.
I will leave after sending her up.
Sorry.
This is the rule of our hotel.
It's also for the safety of every guest.
No, you wrong me.
I won't live here.
Who are you?
You wake up.
Where am I?
Didn't you say to send me home?
Why are you here?
Bastard!
We have monitoring here.
Don't wrong me. Don't think too much.
She is drunk.
She talked nonsense.
No more word.
We also have a face recognition system.
What are you thinking about?
Am I like a bad person?
I'm a lawyer, okay?
Bastard!
Shut up.
Fine.
I won't reserve a room. I will leave.
OK?
I won't live here.
What is wrong?
Up. Come up.
It's 1:15 o'clock in the morning now.
The following video
is just for proving that
I don't do any misconduct
or illegal behavior
to this woman lying on bed.
Wake up.
Get up.
Wake up.
Come on. Get up quickly.
My daughter should wake up later.
You hurry up to get up.
Wake up.
Sorry for bothering you.
Can you wake up?
What time is it?
My daughter should wake up later.
I beg...
I...
What are you doing?
Where am I?
You are at my house.
What are you doing?
Don't come over.
I will yield if you come over.
Help!
I beg you.
Can you keep it down?
My daughter Guoguo is sleeping next door.
Don't wake her up, okay?
Guoguo is next door.
But you actually do this kind of thing.
Do you still have a basic moral bottom line?
Are you insane?
I will lend my bathroom to you.
Take a shower
and leave, okay?
You know what
the last thing men want to do is?
It's to touch a woman who is drunk.
I am not such low
to touch a stinky
and obstreperous drunk woman.
Beats won't do this.
What a joke!
I act well after getting drunk, okay?
Act well?
What a joke!
I will occasionally fall asleep
like a super good girl.
I will talk in sleep at most.
At most.
Talk in sleep
at most?
I will vomit at intervals.
Occasionally.
Very occasionally.
You really want to know
what you did last night?
It's all there.
Appreciate it yourself.
You actually recorded it.
How old are you?
You actually like this.
Watch it slowly.
It's 1:15 o'clock in the morning now.
The following video
is just for proving that
I don't do any misconduct or illegal behavior
to this woman lying on bed.
When young, teachers and parents always educated us that
we couldn't admit defeat in the face of difficulties.
However, what they did not tell us was that,
the result of not admitting defeat
was often complete defeat.
What is it?
But occasionally,
I mean very occasionally,
there will be some unexpected things.
We may see new scenery,
meet new friends
and start a new...
Go.
struggle.
