Second Time is a Charm
Episode 6
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'm finally better now.
After sitting here long,
I need to take a walk.
Otherwise,
my feet will be swollen like trotters.
Can you make it?
You even give birth to two children although it's so tiring.
Love is great.
Why did you describe Wang Lei like that?
Do they have hatred?
You know nothing.
Wang Lei
has rumors with Yu Feifan now.
What? Really?
Of course it can't be true.
Wang Lei is not comparable to An An.
From appearance, family background and talent,
Wang Lei is much worse than An An.
She is an artistic student receiving adult education from the county town.
But An An is a talented woman from Shanghai.
If you were Yu Feifan, who would you choose?
It must be...
We think
it must be a misunderstanding made by Wang Lei.
So we deliberately mocked her.
Today is Professor Hu's birthday party.
Don't go too far.
Lawyer Xu.
I didn't expect it to be you.
Isn't that Wang Lei?
Isn't our box over there?
Where is she going?
Let me go to have a look.
Sorry.
I didn't knock at the door.
Do I bother you?
Never mind.
You came to eat with Mr. Yu?
No.
Today is my university professor's 60th birthday.
An An is also there.
I didn't expect that
my university professor
used to be her teacher.
But you'd better not meet her
to avoid embarrassment.
After all, you are the divorce lawyer of Mr. Yu.
And everyone seems not to know that
An An is handling the divorce.
Miss Wang.
Sorry.
Should I not say so much?
Sorry.
Sorry for bothering you.
Then I'm leaving first.
An An is now handling the divorce.
You are Yu Feifan's divorce lawyer?
No.
Can you tell me this clearly?
Lei Yuhao.
Do you know how much I charge for one minute?
You know how much
money I miss because of you?
If there is no business to talk,
I'd like to leave.
No.
In my impression,
you are good at drawing comics
and you also won the grand prize.
What happened?
You know what?
An An is divorced.
Really?
I'm still the same.
I've been thinking about you abroad.
An An.
If you are free, get together with classmates.
- An An. - It's so happy.
Lawyer Xu is also in the box on this floor.
Hello.
How come your college classmates
know that you are divorced?
Yes.
And last time,
I remember that I told you...
Excuse me.
But I am still in the dining room
without saying anything.
I don't know anything.
It makes a stir in several chatting groups of designers.
Some of your college classmates are inside.
What should I do?
What are you panic about?
Since this matter is exposed,
the person who should be anxious most should be Yu Feifan.
He must try his best
to block messages everywhere.
An An, your move is cool.
You take the initiative.
I really didn't say anything.
To be frank,
did An An really divorce Yu Feifan?
What? Don't talk nonsense.
Not at all.
I have heard what you said
to the lawyer just now.
What lawyer? What did I say?
Just now...
Enough. Enough.
She is likely to be the culprit.
How can she tell you the truth?
I didn't.
Their divorce has nothing to do with me.
Sure enough, they are divorced.
Really?
What happened?
This...
You are talking nonsense.
I didn't talk nonsense.
Then you just talked nonsense.
Xu Lang.
Why are you running? I want to ask you something.
Xu Lang.
Can you directly answer
my question like a man?
What are you doing?
An An.
I will ask you about your divorce later.
Xu Lang, how can you do this now?
Destroying a marriage is worse than demolishing ten temples.
Don't you know it?
Okay.
You can do everything for money now.
You are so low.
Stop.
Sorry.
I really didn't mean to leak it.
Don't guess it any more.
I broke up with Yu Feifan.
It's not due to Wang Lei
or others.
It's my own problem.
Let's wait and see.
An An.
Lawyer Xu.
What should we do?
The most fearful thing still happens.
What are you afraid of?
The current situation
is favorable to you now.
Brother An.
What happened?
What's wrong?
I'm asking you.
Fatty.
If you still take me as your friend,
just keep quiet
and don't ask me anything.
No. I, I take you as my friend.
Stop.
So my silence
can stop it from happening?
Why are you so coward?
I prodded you...
Stop, stop it.
What are you doing?
I understand all the truth you said.
But now I just want to be alone.
OK?
OK. OK.
OK?
Okay. Okay.
Don't be angry. Calm down.
How come you are so hot-tempered?
Don't be angry, Brother An.
Okay, I won't ask you anymore.
Go ahead.
Help me get the bag back.
What, what bag?
My bag.
I was so angry that I forgot to take my bag.
You are so hot-tempered.
Don't be angry.
I will help you get the bag back later.
Calm down. Take it easy.
Don't be angry.
Hurry up.
Wang Lei.
Mr. Yu.
Did you have fun in your professor's birthday dinner?
I told you that
things are supposed to be confidential
must be very important.
I don't want to leak them,
especially from your mouth.
What do you mean by this?
You've followed me so long.
You should know my temper.
I don't like to beat about the bush.
I didn't expect the news to spread so fast.
Lawyer Xu called me
and asked me to check and control the situation.
If the news of my divorce
is learned by my father
from others instead of me,
I will have a hard time. Got it?
Sorry, Mr. Yu.
I know that you will think
deliberately leaked it however I explain.
Lawyer Xu also thinks so.
I am going to pack stuff away now.
I won't bother you.
Wang Lei.
You are not only my employee
but also my student.
So I have high demands
and more expectations on you.
This is inevitable.
So you can learn
many things that others don't know.
I hope that you act carefully and cautiously outside.
You don't just represent yourself
but also me.
Mr. Yu.
Don't you believe me?
Since I think you are my student,
I will certainly believe you.
Forget it.
Fortunately, things are not so serious.
I still have something else.
I'll leave first.
Mr. Yu.
Don't you stay here tonight?
Before you find a house and move out,
I'd better live somewhere else.
Moreover, I have other houses.
You're back
You...
Lei Yuhao said
he has met you.
Yes.
Go have a drink with me.
I will accompany you for a drink.
I don't accept rejection.
Go.
Let's go.
Go.
How about your daughter since you go back home so late?
My parents can help me to take care of her at home.
Uncle and Aunt.
When I was in college,
you always wanted me to meet them at your home.
It was a pity that I didn't go at the time.
How about this?
I can visit them in two days.
Don't mention the past, okay?
Okay.
Let's talk about the future then.
Just say it.
I intend to
stay in Shanghai.
Very good.
Do you know why I am not leaving?
You said it before.
You had reached the top in your work in the UK.
You came back for more room for development.
Can't I come back for someone?
According to my understanding of you,
you will not do this.
Okay.
You really know me.
I am going to open my own law firm in Shanghai.
Will you come to support me?
Yes.
Just think it out for yourself.
Okay.
Pragmatically,
would you like to be my partner?
Forget it.
You don't want to work with me?
My current law firm needs me.
Really?
Yes.
I have a very stable job now.
I like this kind of life.
I don't want to toss about.
It's weird.
Your relationship with your partner Huang Xin
is known in the circle.
They thought they knew it.
I heard that you always quarrel.
All partners will quarrel.
We will also quarrel if we become partners.
Xu Lang.
Sometimes I really can't understand you.
You are cold to me sometimes.
But you quarrel with your partner
in the next minute
and never give him up.
You always change your attitude.
I am really a little unaccustomed to it.
What I told you is true.
I earn a lot in the current law firm.
I am also very satisfied with it.
It's not as complicated as you think.
Lei Yuhao told me
you go to Xin Cheng to earn money.
I still don't believe it.
Believe it.
I still don't believe it now.
Xu Lang, I understand you.
You have been missing in these years.
Something must happen to you.
When did you get married?
When did you have a daughter?
Even if you didn't want to tell me,
why didn't you tell Lei Yuhao?
I'm sorry.
Mine.
I accidentally threw it away.
I seem to have met you somewhere.
We did meet before.
Isn't this Lawyer Xu Lang?
How coincidental!
No, why are you here?
You drank a lot of wine?
So many things happened today.
You still don't feel annoyed?
Go home and go to bed.
Please don't talk in this way.
If it was not because of you,
I wouldn't lose my face in front of
my professor and classmates.
Shouldn't you
have a drink with me?
What are you talking about? Stop that.
Are you drinking too much?
Madam,
please stop.
You will disturb others.
Really?
Did I affect you?
Did I disturb you?
Look.
They don't mind.
Madam.
Let me pour some water for you.
No.
So let's change a place?
I am going to sit here.
It's OK, don't worry.
Move a chair over
Sit on the chair
Sit on the chair,
or I will throw you to the Huangpu River.
You are sitting very well.
OK, nothing.
Mind your business.
I really seem to have seen you there.
Where did we meet?
Let me introduce.
This is An An.
Lawyer Shen Yilin.
This is my college classmate.
Are you drinking a lot of wine?
With whom did you come here?
Go home and go to sleep.
What?
Do I bother you?
Am I brothering you two?
I'm annoying.
She drank too much.
Let me call Lei Yuhao to pick her up.
Then I'll send her back.
If you can't make it,
I can help.
No need.
I can't bear the responsibility to delay your making money.
Thank you for calling me.
Sorry for troubling you.
That is Xu Lang's girlfriend.
I'm sorry.
Why did you say sorry?
Isn't it a miracle for men like Xu Lang
to have a girlfriend?
It's a big event that is worth celebrating.
OK, no more word.
We're leaving.
Don't worry.
He will send her home safely
I have nothing to worry about him.
I just forgot to remind Lei Yuhao
to look after his phone.
Consider what I said.
No matter what relationship we had before
and no matter what happened
we should give priority to work sometimes.
I am a good partner.
You can give priority to love
and work as needed.
But not everyone can do this like you
I can't.
It doesn't matter.
It's not important.
I don't know whether
our cooperation is pleasant
or not,
but the only thing I can tell you with certainty is that
I am not already that Xu Lang you knew.
You know nothing about me now.
I really should go.
Keep in touch.
Bye.
Welcome everyone to Gu Ying's live room.
Lily.
Zhang Dalei.
Hello, how are you?
Have you practiced yet?
Right, right.
The lyrics written by
chairman is so good.
I lost my proud poplar and you your willow.
Then...
I sing it?
Okay.
Let me think about it.
You should be full of emotions.
Wu Kang, asked what he can give.
Coming. Coming.
- Grandpa. - Baby.
See what this is.
Open it.
Cake.
Thank you, grandpa.
Good baby, eat it.
Guoguo.
You can eat cake only after dinner.
It's rare for her to eat a cake.
Dad, this is the family rule.
Every time she comes here, she breaks it.
Just this once. Just this once.
Just this once.
Okay.
Come here.
Wipe your hands first.
Okay.
Where is my mom?
Wipe your little hands.
Who?
Mom.
Big star.
Grandma.
I miss you so much.
Wait. Go eat cake.
Come here. What a right time.
- Come here. - What are you doing?
Come.
I love to see my son laugh.
You do live broadcast again?
Yes.
Come.
Yes.
Bingo. My son.
Lawyer. Is he handsome?
What is embarrassing?
C-crazy.
What?
Dad.
I can help you to cook.
How can he say so?
Single.
Do I need to cook?
I will help you.
What should we eat?
I don't know either.
It's up to the big star.
Leave him alone.
Forget the meal.
Which one to eat?
This one.
This. This one?
Do you want to have a bite?
She is post-90s.
She is beautiful
with good family and education background.
A rare opportunity.
You should seize it.
No. I'm busy.
You decline it before hearing me out.
I am busy. I am busy every day.
Mediator, say something.
What did I say?
Watch your attitude.
If you are like this,
I, I will
go to live in your house
to repeat this every day.
What a bad idea.
Who told you this?
Did Mrs. Tang
in the troupe
tell you this idea?
Listen.
If it's her idea,
you won't win.
I promise.
I can go.
Two conditions.
First, I decide the time and place.
Okay.
Second.
I will take Guoguo with me.
You.
How can you take her there?
She will drag you back.
I won't go if you don't agree.
I agree.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
Dad, I will cook.
Okay, good.
What do you want to eat for dinner, Guoguo?
I can help.
Good. Go.
Good girl.
No, I, I.
Sit down, sit down, sit down.
He has agreed to go, what else
do you still want to do?
I...
You don't understand my mind.
You don't understand this either?
I hope
he can have a partner
to live a peaceful life
with him in the rest of his life.
Then I can rest relieved.
Yeah.
You are right.
It has been five years since that happened.
He should also start again.
But
he is too harsh on himself.
So some things can't be forced.
Take it easy. Don't worry.
I'm sad seeing him being like this.
Do you think he has forgiven me?
Yes. Yes.
No. He has forgiven you.
I remembered that when I was young, my grandma told me that
I couldn't enjoy
the fun brought
by children and grandchildren due to my thin face.
Did she say this?
Yes.
She was wrong.
You are a grandma now.
How come you have no fun as a grandma?
That is feudal superstition.
We can't believe it.
We should rely on ourselves.
Fatty.
Give them to me.
- Return them to me. - Stop.
Here you are.
I've read them all overnight.
Stop. I have read them all.
Sorry.
I.
Listen.
Whom you should apologize to
is not me, but Doudou.
You wanted to do everything well
and refused to turn to me,
so you had wasted a lot of time.
I know
If I asked you for help,
you would definitely agree.
but I...
In short, I don't want to trouble you.
What are you talking about?
You can trouble me as I'm your friend.
Do you remember how we knew each other?
I moved from the Northeast to Shanghai at that time.
I was still unfamiliar with the surrounding and I was fat.
Kids in the alley bullied me every day.
As a result,
you couldn't stand it anymore.
You stood out and said
you would protect me as I was your follower and you were the boss.
How can you stare at me at school?
Don't you dare!
I'll beat you if you stare at me again.
Yes.
He is my little. I'm the boss.
No one can bully him.
Get away.
You were not taller than me.
But you said you were the boss
and protect me. Who believed it?
You are bold.
But from there later,
the situation of bullying me had indeed changed.
It changed to bullying us.
Give in or not? Give in or not?
Give in or not? Give in or not? Give in or not?
Give in or not?
At that time, I called you Brother An.
You called me Fatty.
Our revolutionary friendship started from childhood.
Do you feel you will trouble me?
It's very troublesome.
Let me beat you with my small fist.
I don't care.
Your lawyer must be me.
And I've helped you make a plan.
The first step is to attend the Star Comics Award first.
What?
I can't.
I haven't painted for many years.
How can I compete with those strong new graduates?
Before Zhuge Liang served Liu Bei,
he didn't lead any troops, right?
Moreover,
you have kept a low profile as a housewife for so many years.
You have accumulated experience, right?
You have a deep understanding of life.
You are more mature.
In addition,
your friend has inquired about it
and said the mysterious grand prize
of this Star Comics Award
is to sign a three-year working contract with the Extraordinary Studio.
Listen.
This is a very stable job.
Not,
this is a very good job.
"Extraordinary Comics"?
I need to work for Yu Feifan?
What's wrong?
You can't let it go?
Listen.
If you can't let it go,
face it.
You will find that this is nothing at all.
Right?
But if you let go of it,
you will have nothing to worry about.
We should be thick-skinned sometimes.
Then you will find
you can live very easily.
Moreover,
Doudou and I
are supporting you.
Okay.
I will give it a try.
Awesome.
Amazing.
Where did you come from?
Registration system, administration affairs
can be left to me.
The lawsuit is handed over to Lei Yuhao.
You are only responsible for drawing attentively
to win the grand prize.
Great, dude.
You are eloquent.
That's a piece of cake.
You know what?
Eloquence is the basic skill of a lawyer.
I feel thirsty after saying too much.
I want to take some noodles.
OK. OK.
OK, no problem.
Wait a moment. It'll be served right away.
- Two eggs. - Two eggs.
Okay.
I will not attend the meeting of board of directors tomorrow.
Pass on my apology to them.
Rest assured.
Come here.
Okay.
I will handle it.
Lie on the pillow.
Do you feel cold?
Come in.
Mom. Uncle Yu.
Yongjun comes.
You send soup here?
This old chicken soup
is cooked by Yongjun for a whole night.
Let me see.
My son is not bad.
He put scallops and abalone inside.
Drink some later
to move the bitterness in your mouth.
Yongjun,
during this period of time,
you have to worry more
to help your mother more.
Don't worry, Uncle Yu.
I know.
He is really considerate.
Hearing that
you are not feeling well today,
he rushes to the hospital as soon as possible.
It's good to be considerate.
But Zhang Wei.
Man should work outside.
You can't always
hold him around all day long.
This is bad to him.
Feifan was driven to
study in the university
when he was 18 years old.
He stayed there for 4 years
without coming home in holidays.
He earned money to support himself.
Feifan is promising.
In this respect, Yongjun,
you need to learn more from him.
Yes.
But in these two years,
Desheng,
I'm also old.
As I'm getting older,
I want my child
to stay by my side
to be closer to me.
Come on. Drink some soup.
People like Mr. Yu
should always pay attention
to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.
At his age,
more unexpected situations will happen.
He has to be taken care of all the time.
That was dangerous this time.
Fortunately, Mrs. Yu sent him here in time.
She is not Mrs. Yu.
She is just a friend of my dad.
Okay, I see.
But thank you very much this time.
It's my duty.
I will pay more attention to it in the future.
I hope you can pay more attention to my dad's illness.
In addition, if the hospital needs the signature of the family member,
please wait for me to sign on it.
After all, now I am my father's only family.
Thank you.
Feifan.
Hi.
- Feifan, come and sit down. - Come here.
We talked about you with your dad.
How is the studio going recently?
Quite smooth.
How about your home?
All is right.
I heard that your studio recently hired a new
legal counsel called...
Xu Lang.
Xu Lang?
Yes.
Is there any trouble?
No trouble.
He is responsible for copyright business of the studio.
Now the studio is developing film and television
and it's short-handed.
Xu Lang.
I heard from a friend of the lawyer circles that
he seems to be a divorce lawyer.
Yes.
He is a divorce lawyer.
But his profession is copyright.
Aunt Wei.
It seems that your friend of the lawyer circles
didn't get accurate information.
She is also concerned about you.
In addition,
my team of lawyers
is also very experienced.
You can use them if needed.
No, it's all trivial.
Enough. Enough.
It's up to you.
But you have to remember that,
you represent not just yourself.
You know
directors of our group
are as canny and foxes.
They stare at me and you every day.
My sickness
is unknown to the public.
Well,
you have to be smart
and think twice
before you act.
No matter it's your work
or personal affairs.
The public
dares to rumor anything.
They specially pay attention to
your private life.
Of course.
I won't believe
those rumors.
But you have to be careful.
I know.
Yongjun has made a lot of progress recently.
I am planning to leave the line of hotel catering
to him.
What do you think?
I am not working for the group.
You can decide
such a thing yourself.
He didn't follow me since childhood as you did.
He has a lot to learn.
Tell me about your work.
I don't oppose
your writing books and founding a studio.
In recent years,
you know some people
from the entertainment and culture circles,
which can be regarded as your social association.
After all, running a studio
is not a man's career.
Right?
In addition,
my big business
will be left to you sooner or later.
I will go back first if there is nothing else.
Wait, when you free,
take Doudou to have a meal at home.
I can ask her to prepare
some food Doudou likes.
Yes. Bring Doudou back home next time.
I can cook.
I know.
It's rare for him to come back.
What do you talk this to him?
You irritated him away.
I am going to see him off.
Feifan.
What's up?
Yongjun is still young.
He is not as smart as you are.
But he takes you as his elder brother.
I think
I will rely on you to help him in the future.
I am a writer.
What can I help him?
His future
is up to my dad.
Just now my dad said
he would leave the hotel catering line to him.
You can rest assured now.
Desheng really takes care of us.
I am very grateful for this.
But after all, we are not his real wife and son.
He loves you and Doudou in his heart.
There are no outsiders here.
You don't have to say
these fake words.
You should be very clear
of what my dad cares about most.
People will change.
No matter what happened,
they will care more about their family
around them as they are getting older.
Just like me.
I only care bout
my son Hu Yongjun.
If he is fine, I will be fine.
But if someone really wants to go against him,
I will also protect him.
Don't worry.
I won't oppose that
my dad leaves
the entire group to him,
let alone the hotel catering line.
Because I am not interested in the Yu's Group.
The group is so big
with so many shareholders.
However big its business is,
it doesn't belong to Hu Yongjun
or even Yu Desheng.
However,
as long as Yu's Group belongs to the Yu family,
it's not so easy for outsiders to take over it in a dirty way.
This is the last thing my mom begged me
before she passed away.
She never begged me for anything in her lifetime.
I have to help her to do this little thing.
What do you think?
Yu Feifan.
I would like to advise you
not to try too hard for everything.
What you get for him by all means
is not necessarily what he wants.
You may not be able to keep
what you robbed away by all means.
Where there are women, there are struggles.
This is an iron truth.
Although I don't like to compete with others,
reality always pushes me
to the vortex of competition.
I have no obsession with victory.
Coincidentally,
the reality doesn't seem to let me win.
But aren't they all written in fairy tales?
When the beautiful and kind heroin is in danger,
the tall and handsome hero
will show up.
Unfortunately, I guessed the beginning but did not guess the ending.
This hero
actually came to laugh at me.
