Second Time is a Charm
Episode 5
Look for the books separately later
to save time.
This way.
How to improve the success rate of fighting for custody.
First,
take care of your child before divorce
to increase feelings with him.
Takeout is coming.
But my dad doesn't
let us eat takeout.
The housekeeper cooks
according to his taste.
The food is too light
and atrocious.
Smell it. Does it smell good?
Yeah.
But my dad said
it was not healthy to eat takeout.
It doesn't matter to eat once in a while.
He won't know if we don't tell him.
Your dad only comes back a few days in a month.
If you have bad habits, you should correct them in time.
Don't set a bad example for your child.
There is something wrong with the printing of the new books.
The whole company is working overtime.
I don't want to listen to you.
I don't care.
It has nothing to do with me.
I want you to appear in front of me now.
Otherwise,
I'll break your computer.
An An, can you calm down?
No, I can't.
If you don't have a job, you should be aggressive
and look for a job with a reasonable income.
Hang, take this plate away.
Wait a minute.
Bye.
Is the coffee ready?
Your coffee.
Hurry up.
A cup of mocha, right?
Yes, right.
Hang, clean this up.
Table eight, right?
Yes.
An An,
your salary.
It's not much,
but you make it yourself.
Thank you.
Come on.
Third,
if you have lived apart,
try to live with your child.
Fourth,
if you and your husband are busy with work,
you'd better ask your parents to look after your child.
Brother An.
You scared me.
What a coincidence.
What're you doing?
Well,
you're really a good student.
You come to the library soon after you returned home.
Who says that a good student
has to read in the library?
I went to the toilet.
What do you mean?
What're you doing?
Let me see.
Marriage law.
Custody.
Well,
Brother An,
why do you study the law?
Do you have something to hide from me?
The last time I saw you,
you faltered.
You must have something to hide from me.
Tell me. I'll help you.
Tell me what happened.
I'll help you if I can.
Say something.
Your voice is too loud.
The administrator will come.
It's you again.
I meet you everywhere.
This year's Star Comics Award will begin.
An An
is writing a story about lawyers.
We come to look for some information.
Yeah.
The Star Comics Award.
Creation, right?
Brother An, listen.
If you meet a difficulty, turn to me.
I mean it. You know,
I am
a really capable lawyer.
It's true.
Stay away from me.
I hardly know you.
An An, the silly girl in your story who is so unlucky that
it rains when she goes out
has to fight for custody.
What should she do?
Tell us about it.
Yeah.
If her husband
has money to burn,
what should she do?
It depends on how rich he is.
He's from a rich and powerful family,
and his family has its own business.
A rich and powerful family has its own business?
An overbearing CEO.
So you are now working on an idol drama?
Just answer us.
Well.
Even so,
he doesn't necessarily
have a big advantage in the lawsuit.
Really?
Sure.
This is the time to
show the value of a lawyer.
You know?
Good lawyers are like this.
They can avoid the other party's advantages
and attack the other party's disadvantage.
But outstanding lawyers will
turn the other party's advantages
into disadvantages.
Put it plainly.
How ignorant you are.
Well,
if the other party is very rich
and runs a company,
splitting the property
will be a very troublesome thing.
This is not a problem that compensation can solve.
You know?
You can turn it into your chip.
Waive your rights to exchange custody.
Well,
what if we can prove that the other party
doesn't take care of the child?
Yeah. Is that good for the lawsuit?
Theoretically yes, but it's very difficult to get evidence.
What do you mean?
It needs direct evidence.
The direct evidence must prove that
the other party doesn't take care of the family
and causes bad consequences.
Otherwise...
What?
How to get direct evidence?
From your point of view as a lawyer,
how does the law identify
a father, a husband
and a man
neglect his duty?
I don't think anyone will think that
a man has made any mistakes in this kind of thing.
In order to provide a better life
for his wife and child,
he seldom goes home,
is indifferent to his wife
and has a bad temper.
It is excusable.
I don't think so.
From a legal point of view...
I've heard too many such words.
I'll be nice to you.
I'll love you all my life.
How dare you make such an oaths?
How long is a life?
How many people and things will we meet in life?
Do you have a problem with men?
Men are not all the same.
Men are all the same.
How can all men be the same?
Are you a man?
Of course I'm a man.
That's it.
How ignorant you are.
I do not want to talk to you.
Show direct evidence for neglecting the care of the child.
Where can I find such evidence?
I almost forgot something.
Why are you in a hurry?
I have to send
the documents I signed in the morning to Xu Lang.
Who is Xu Lang?
Why do you ask?
Be serious.
Is Xu Lang a tall,
sunny, handsome
and outgoing
man?
A senior of mine in college
has the same surname and given name.
Sorry.
The Xu Lang we know
is hateful, black-hearted
and expressionless.
I don't know whether he's outgoing.
And I think the world is so big.
It's impossible for your childhood friend
to know your college classmate.
Return the books. Thank you.
You...
She makes friends instantly.
Doudou?
It's impossible.
Do I become crazy from missing Doudou?
How can he be in Xu Lang's house?
You can't catch me.
Is anybody home?
You can't catch me.
Is anybody home?
What are you doing here?
I come to send you the documents.
Our materials are needed for the rear end claim.
Thank you. Leave.
Since I come,
let's talk about the claim.
Talk about it in my office.
There's something else tomorrow.
Let's make it another day.
I want to go to the toilet. I can't hold on much longer.
Can I use your toilet?
Turn left after you get out of the gate.
There's a McDonald's five hundred meters away. You can go to the toilet there.
How lively.
Guoguo is watching a children's program.
I hear a boy's voice.
Is that a friend of Guoguo?
George.
George?
Guoguo's foreign friend?
Yes. Page's brother.
Page's brother?
Xu Lang.
Oh no.
What are you doing?
Why are you up there?
What are you doing?
Sir, don't get me wrong.
I know this family.
I come up to help him trim the leaves.
Come down. Come down.
No.
Why are you so persistent?
Come down.
No.
What are you doing?
Do you know each other?
You came just in time.
Explain to him.
We know each other, right?
Sorry, everyone.
Don't shoot.
She's a relative of my hometown.
There's something wrong with her brain.
Sorry to trouble you.
She's your relative?
Yes.
There's really something wrong with her brain.
Yes, right.
She's mad.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry to trouble you.
Leave. Leave.
Go. Go. Go.
I'm not your relative.
I'm not mad.
Look at you.
You look like a madwoman.
Cut the crap.
I can't see anything.
Help me down.
Hurry up.
Don't take photos.
It was difficult for you to go there, right?
Stay there.
It's warm there.
Xu Lang,
listen.
Don't go too far.
Fine.
Come back. Come back.
I'm sorry.
I dare not climb your tree any more.
I'll give you two choices now.
First,
I'll get you down, and then you leave immediately.
Second,
stay up there.
Did I offend you?
Why are you doing this to me?
Listen.
I really don't have time to talk nonsense with you here.
I have a lot of work to do.
I'll give you one minute.
Xu Lang.
55.
Xu Lang.
50.
45.
Wait. Wait.
40.
35.
Do you think I want to climb your tree?
30.
I'm scared.
25.
I heard a voice of a little boy
like my son's
in your house.
I may be crazy from missing Doudou.
How can Doudou be in your house?
What rotten luck!
What do you want?
Do you want to come down?
It's better to have a bad luck at 28
than at 38.
You're still young
and healthy.
Even if you are seriously injured,
you still have time to recover.
It'll be too late
when you get old.
You don't know how I feel.
Rock-paper-scissors.
Guoguo.
Dad.
I'm really sorry.
There was a traffic jam, so I came late.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay, Dad.
Doudou has been with me.
His dad hasn't come either.
Doudou's dad hasn't come?
Dad,
let's wait with Doudou for his dad.
He's alone.
OK. No problem.
Sorry.
Sorry to trouble you.
I'll wait with Doudou
for his dad.
OK. Thank you.
Sorry to trouble you.
Sorry.
Bye.
- Good girl. See you tomorrow. - Bye.
See you tomorrow, Doudou.
Bye.
Is your dad often late?
But he always buys me good food
and toys,
so I forgive him.
Dad,
let's play black and white.
OK.
Come on.
Black and white.
- Black and white. - Doudou.
Dou...
Doudou, sorry.
I come late.
I'll take you home.
Sir,
excuse me, who are you?
Who am I?
Who are you?
How interesting.
This is a kindergarten.
It's not a place to chat up.
Doudou, go.
Doudou, do you know him?
No.
Doudou, come on.
Don't tell a lie.
Let's go home now.
Doudou said he didn't know you.
Don't you hear that?
Stay away from him.
What do you want?
I think you look like
a cultured gentleman.
Why are you so rude?
I'll call the police if you don't leave.
Go ahead.
Do it.
What are you doing?
I'll tell my boss.
He will make you suffer.
It hurts.
Sir,
sorry.
I'm a good man.
I'm the assistant of Doudou's dad.
If you don't believe me,
I have a letter of attorney
that Boss Yu asks me to pick up Doudou in my pocket.
If you don't believe me, check it.
Which pocket?
The left one in the back.
It hurts. Let me go.
My hand will break.
Read it carefully.
Let me go.
Sorry.
Sorry, sir.
Sorry. Sorry.
Yu Doudou,
has no one taught you that children can't lie?
Doudou, don't play here.
If we go back late,
you dad will blame me again.
What a bad luck.
I'm really sorry.
I remember.
He's the life assistant my dad employed,
Gary.
Gary, let's go.
Sorry. Sorry.
Doudou.
Sorry, Guoguo.
Were you scared?
Dad,
why didn't Doudou's dad
come to pick him up?
Wang Lei.
Mr. Yu.
Unpack it and see what it is.
I'm shortlisted for the Star Comics Award?
Yeah.
Thank you, Mr. Yu. I'm so happy.
I'm shortlisted for the Star Comics Award.
You make it with your strength.
I didn't help you secretly.
Thank you, Mr. Yu.
Well, you can celebrate it
with your friends tonight.
Me?
You're shortlisted.
When am I shortlisted?
What kind of work am I shortlisted for?
Come on.
An An.
Your work.
Is it enough?
Stop if it's enough.
Don't fly away, my fairy.
We will hold a banquet
to thank Professor Hu this weekend.
You have to think about what you say to her.
There will be many students of hers.
Everyone talks.
You can choose not to attend the banquet,
but can you muddle along without any aim?
Come on.
You want to work in the coffee shop all your life?
Let me go.
Even if I can't ignore the banquet,
I won't attend it.
No.
Don't force me.
Let me think about it,
okay?
What do you want?
What did I want to say?
You scared me.
Miss Wang, I go out to buy some vegetables.
Miss Wang, you've been living in my house for several days.
Your dad has changed the house
into an office.
I'm here to help.
I'm not welcome here?
I'm okay with that.
But I'm afraid that Huazi is not happy.
Huazi?
Who?
The sister who lives in the closet.
Sister?
Yeah, she's about my age
and my height.
She wears long hair
and a white dress.
She hides in the closet during the day
and comes out at night.
Sometimes I open my eyes during my sleep,
I can see her standing by my bed.
Doudou, don't joke.
You're the only child here.
There's no other child.
Don't say that.
Huazi will be unhappy.
She usually covers her face with her hair,
but her eyes turn red when she gets angry.
Don't look at her.
She doesn't like you.
She just ran into my dad's room.
She just stood by your side.
Didn't you see her?
No.
She's not happy to hear you live here.
Well, I'll go to play with her.
She likes this. Do you like it?
She likes this too. Do you like it?
No.
Huazi, don't get angry.
I'm coming.
Huazi, I'm coming.
I'm okay with that.
But I'm afraid that Huazi is not happy.
Who?
The sister who lives in the closet.
She's about my age
and my height.
She wears long hair
and a white dress.
She hides in the closet during the day
and comes out at night.
Sometimes I open my eyes during my sleep,
I can see her standing by my bed.
Hello, your packages.
So many.
For Ms. Qiu?
Ms. An An.
Mine?
Thank you, sir.
You're welcome. I'm leaving.
Hello.
An An, this is Wang Lei.
What's wrong?
I see that you have signed and received the packages.
I want to reconfirm it.
I just signed and received them.
Before Mr. Yu changed the bedroom into a study,
I was specially told to
pack your things.
Change?
Sorry, An An.
Did I say something wrong?
No.
I have to go.
Bye.
Anything else?
An An.
What's wrong? You feel blue?
Professor Hu?
You can still recognize my voice.
You deserve to be my favorite student in college.
How did you know my number?
It's my new number.
Surprised, huh?
How did I know?
I asked Qiu Tian.
It's really great
to hear your voice anyway.
Would it be better to
meet me?
You've never been back
since you were transferred to England.
We must get together
at the banquet.
Sure.
I will send you the specific time
and address of the banquet.
Bye.
I have to attend the banquet.
Sir, are you ready to order?
Wait a minute.
I'll order after my friend comes.
Okay.
I have an appointment
with a very important client.
We will talk about something important.
So except serving,
I don't need other waiters in the room.
OK.
I have got all the documents ready
in my computer in the office.
I'll send them to you
as soon as I get back to the office.
Thank you.
Lawyer Xu Lang,
what
a coincidence.
Although Shen Yilin
didn't tell me your phone number,
I still find you.
And it's much simpler than I thought it would be.
It's not complicated at all.
I can ask you out
by pretending to be your important client.
Where are you going?
We haven't met for five years.
Do you think
it's appropriate
for you to leave
without saying anything?
I have so many questions
in these five years.
Which one
should I ask you first?
Happy birthday, Professor Hu.
Thank you.
Come on, let's have a drink.
Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers.
Thank you, Professor Hu.
Help yourselves.
Professor Hu.
An An.
An An. An An.
Come over.
Take a seat.
Sorry for being late.
An An.
Long time no see.
You finally come. You're late.
As usual,
have a cup of wine in front of Professor Hu as a punishment.
No.
How can she drink on an empty stomach?
She can't chat with me if she's drunk.
You are always partial to An An.
It's not good for her healthy growth.
So what?
An An, sit here.
Sit next to me.
Sorry for being late.
An An, we haven't seen each other for years.
Yes, you were transferred to England
in my senior year.
It has been five or six years.
It's not just you.
We haven't seen her for years.
Why?
Didn't you get together every year?
She never came.
She got married as soon as she graduated.
At that time, you had already gone to England,
so you missed her wedding.
An An, why didn't you tell me?
You told me
girls had to take career as the priority,
so I didn't tell you. I was afraid you would disagree.
It was a good thing.
Even if I couldn't attend your wedding,
I would give you a red packet.
I was young and innocent
at that time.
How is your work now?
I remember when I left,
you had received an offer
from Dawang Comics Studio.
Yeah.
But I had a baby,
so I didn't go there.
What a pity.
Compared with An An,
we're losers.
Her husband is Yu Feifan,
founder of "Extraordinary Magazine".
Besides "Extraordinary Magazine",
it seems that "Extraordinary Comics" has been published recently.
She's a rich housewife now,
but if she wants to find a job,
it's easy.
Am I right, An An?
No.
I've never been involved in
the business of Yu Feifan's studio.
The gossip news have punished it.
It's said that
Yu Feifan loves you dearly.
You can do
whatever you want.
An An, you're a vivacious girl.
Can you bear to
stay at home all the time as a housewife?
Do you think it's a pity?
You are so talented
and have many good stories.
Have you ever thought about coming back
and drawing comics?
Now the Star Comics Award
is about to start.
Speaking of this,
guess
which schoolmate of ours is shortlisted.
Who else can it be?
Her shortlisted invitation has been posted in Moments
for several times.
Who? Why don't I know of her?
She's the assistant of
Yu Feifan's studio.
You two must know each other.
Her?
Professor Hu.
Lei.
Lei, come over.
Sorry.
Happy birthday, Professor Hu.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry.
Mr. Yu's studio is very busy recently,
so I was delayed.
It's okay.
I'll drink a cup of wine as a punishment.
Good.
Good. Good. Come on.
No need.
Well.
It's okay.
Come on.
Enough.
Sorry.
I came late.
Mr. Yu.
What an affectionate call.
Mrs. Yu is here.
Behave yourself.
An An, long time no see.
I miss you so much.
I didn't expect you to come today.
At school,
I wanted to introduce you two to each other,
but I went to England before I had time.
I didn't expect you to know each other in the end.
It seems that you two are predestined to meet.
Yeah, at school, you always said
I was like An An,
but I didn't believe it then.
But I found after contact that
we liked the same food and the same things.
And we both like comics.
Do you like
the same type of men?
Look at you.
Don't say that.
Professor Hu, help yourselves.
I'll take my seat.
OK.
An An, help yourselves.
I'll take my seat.
Professor, eat some food.
OK.
An An, help yourself.
We haven't seen each other for years.
Let's have a drink.
Come on.
Cheers.
Help yourselves.
Don't always drink. Eat some food.
Are you ready to order?
Waiter, recommend something spicy food to us.
My friend likes strong flavors.
I don't eat spicy food.
Come on, you used to like spicy food.
Now I'm old and my stomach can't bear it.
I prefer mild flavors.
That's too bad.
My favorite flavor hasn't changed.
I still like spicy food.
Then you can find a Sichuan restaurant
and enjoy yourself.
Call me when you're ready to order.
What a coincidence.
What's up?
Don't you think
you should say something to me?
You asked me out. I don't have anything to say to you.
OK. Tell me
why you disappeared.
You disappeared five years ago.
You didn't contact us for five years.
Neither I or Shen Yilin
could find you.
Do you know how much we were worried about you?
Well.
Later I heard that you went to a company
called Xin Cheng.
Xu Lang, you're a divorce lawyer now.
What happened?
What's wrong with the divorce lawyer?
It's a good job.
The work is simple and I can earn more.
Xin Cheng Law Firm is very good.
I can take
whatever case I want.
If I want a little more money,
the boss won't say no.
What?
It's true.
Xu Lang, I didn't think that
you would
say these words.
Now I really want to know what happened
in these five years.
Five years.
Five years ago,
you went to Germany,
and Shen Yilin went to England.
It was good. We were busy and far away from each other.
Due to time difference,
we seldom contacted each other.
Don't exaggerate
such a pretty thing.
A pretty thing?
Xu Lang.
In your eyes,
is our friendship a pretty thing?
Okay.
Come straight to the point.
I am asking you.
In front of me, your brother,
can you tell the truth?
What do you want to hear?
Am I supposed to I make up a story?
I've heard that God's ordeal for everyone
is the same,
so I should be grateful
when I meet
a series of bad things,
because the more experiences I have now,
the more smoother my way in the future.
I should try to grow up in ordeal.
If not,
it doesn't matter if I take a break.
But
a moment of relaxation is called rest.
A long time of relaxation is called giving up.
An An.
I will never give up.
Come on, An An Rabbit.
Only by defeating fear
can I reap
good things.
I don't know if I'll be knocked down.
