Second Time is a Charm
Episode 10
Don't you have anything to ask me?
If you have anything to say, just say it.
I took Yu Doudou's custody case.
Do you know that?
Yes.
Why don't you ask me why?
I'm not a divorce lawyer.
I am a senior legal advisor of Yu's Group.
You must have your reason.
When it comes to a professional business,
no one can match you
Even the worldly-wise Lei Yuhao
was defeated by you in the past.
You're right.
I'll surely win the case,
so I took it.
Do you really think
An An has no chance?
From a legal point of view,
Doudou
was brought up by his mom,
so his custody may be granted to his mom.
You're an experienced divorce lawyer.
How could you say something so impractical?
Undeniably,
Under equal conditions,
the odds are very much in his mom's favor.
But the reality is
his dad is rich,
while his mom has no capacity for work.
It's not enough to convince the judges
just to work in a coffee shop.
What's more,
Yu Feifan has done his duty
as a husband and father in the marriage life.
Although he spent little time with his family,
there were no such obvious mistakes
as major accidents or gross faults as the law said,
so
An An stands no chance
unless Yu Feifan gives up custody voluntarily.
But Yu Desheng and An An
must be at loggerheads over this matter.
Yu Feifan has to listen to his dad.
They used to be a family,
but things have gone too far to be set right.
In the end, they must regret.
Xu Lang,
do you know why I took this troublesome case?
It's not all for my business.
Actually,
I'm curious about An An.
I really don't understand
why the expression in your eyes becomes so strange
every time she shows up.
Now Yu Feifan is the same.
Well,
since she always appears in my life
for no reason
and I can't avoid meeting her,
I might as well take the initiative to look for her.
When did
your standard of taking cases
become so strange?
Maybe I can't detach myself from
things related to you.
But I'm really not that important.
Are you still blaming me
for leaving five years ago?
No.
You did nothing wrong.
I will hand over
Yu Doudou's custody case
and Yu Feifan's divorce case to you.
OK.
I want you to deliver the documents yourself.
Take a look at Article 5.
I'm coming.
It's troublesome.
Why do you drink my water?
This is all my cousin's itinerary
in the past year,
specific to when and where he went
by planes, vehicles and boats, as well as online car-hailing.
It's all clear.
Basically, he didn't stay at home.
Really? Let me see.
How did you get this?
I helped Yu Feifan's life assistant get a ticket to
the pink party in Bangkok.
Impressive.
How?
Some secret way.
Good.
Now we have physical evidence,
but we still need witnesses' testimony.
Yes.
Didn't you say that
the kindergarten teacher
and the neighbors who used to have good relationships with An An
are willing to testify for An An?
But I'm still a little worried.
About what?
The human factor is the most uncertain.
Brother An,
you told me before
Doudou had been living with you,
and you were always together.
Well, if this life state is changed,
and Doudou lives with his dad
and leaves you
for such a long time,
it must have a great impact on his growth.
In this way,
our chances of regaining custody will increase.
Miss Wang,
didn't you promise me?
You said you'd testify for me.
I used to take Doudou here and bring him back.
And I was never absent
from the activities in the kindergarten.
I know.
But
I won't be here when the court is held.
I will be on vacation.
You know, I only have a few days off.
Right?
I can't delay my arrangement
because of your thing.
But
you know...
- I know. - I...
I know Mr. Yu,
Doudou's dad.
I'm his fan, too.
When we needed a lot of money before,
he helped us generously.
I think
he takes good care of Doudou.
You can't blame him for not taking care of Doudou
because he's busy with his work.
Ms. An,
I'm sorry.
I can't help you.
Please think about it again.
Your presence
will be of great help
to our evidence collection.
I hope you can help us.
I really can't help you.
Why?
Because I don't know much about these things.
Fine.
Well,
I hope you can appear in court
as a witness
and give us some advice.
Mr. Yu, morning.
Have you persuaded the witnesses?
You can rest assured.
An An's witnesses are her neighbors.
They have
promised me
they won't testify that day.
Good.
By the way,
don't forget
the teacher of Doudou's former kindergarten.
I have booked a hotel and plane tickets
for her.
When the court is held, she won't be here.
Good.
I trust you.
Bye.
We can't rely on witnesses' testimony now.
All people,
including those who promised us before,
have backed out.
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Next, Shen Yilin will
focus on the fact that
you don't have a long-term and stable job.
You can't compete with Yu Desheng
with your job in the coffee shop.
So I'm thinking
the only way is
for you to win the Star Comics Award.
Don't put pressure on her.
Fatty is right.
I have to work hard.
I have to get Doudou back.
Right.
I'm trying to find a way
Brother An,
as long as you win the Star Comics Award,
even if we don't have witnesses' testimony,
with Yu Feifan's itinerary
and the long-term contract of Extraordinary Comics,
I promise to help you regain your custody.
I'm to blame.
Well,
I know Shen Yilin very well.
She will do everything
to win the case.
My uncle is now
a senior legal advisor of hotels and restaurants.
I met her at a hotel legal training meeting.
She looked fierce at first glance.
Aren't you college classmates?
Tell us
who she is.
In short,
she's an Aquarius, and her blood type is AB.
Ascendant Taurus, moon Gemini.
Moreover,
she was Xu Lang's first girlfriend.
She must be strong in her heart
as Xu Lang's girlfriend.
I want to correct you.
It's not true.
You should say, Xu Lang must be strong in his heart
as Shen Yilin's boyfriend.
Impressive.
Yeah.
I'll give you an example, and you'll see.
When she graduated from college,
Shen Yilin knew about a piece of news of going to England.
Then,
she decided to leave
in less than 24 hours
after she knew the news.
When Xu Lang knew about it,
she had packed her things,
bought a ticket and was ready to leave.
She was determined to abandon Xu Lang.
I don't know.
Anyway, she went to England at that time,
and I went to Germany.
Anyway, Xu Lang was out of contact at that time.
What do you mean?
We couldn't contact him.
He disappeared.
No one could contact him?
Until I saw him in the restaurant the other day.
It's weird.
Yeah.
You know what,
his disposition has greatly changed.
He used to be a sweet guy.
Sweet guy?
Besides,
many girls liked him.
At that time,
only Shen Yilin could control him.
He has changed a lot.
Yeah.
I also want to know
why he has changed so much.
I have to go.
The Star Comics Award is about to begin.
I have to go back and prepare.
I have to go.
OK. Go.
When you make preparations,
I'll handle the case.
Don't worry.
I'm leaving.
OK. Go.
I also have to go.
- Come back. - What's up?
What's wrong?
My heart has been pounding.
Is something going to happen?
Don't scare me.
You're probably tired.
You haven't had a good rest these days.
You are An An's spiritual pillar.
Don't fall.
Do you think
An An looks very bad today?
Not at all.
I think she looks good.
Her skin is good,
and her face is white.
What are you talking about?
She's dreadfully pale.
Why did you hit me?
What did we eat today?
I had a sandwich in the morning.
Her.
She...
She ate nothing. She said she had no appetite.
She just had oolong tea.
What about noon?
We had instant noodles at noon,
and she went to the kindergarten.
So she didn't eat anything. What about tonight?
We came here tonight.
She didn't eat either.
She didn't eat anything today.
No.
I have to force her to eat something.
She has no appetite. Don't force her to eat.
Leave her alone.
I know something
which can make her mouth water.
Are you free?
No. I have something to do. I...
You're free. Go.
Come on.
How do you know I'm free?
Go.
Can I have the bill, please?
Waiter.
It's late. Where can we buy scallion pancakes?
Concentrate on driving.
I'm looking for it.
We don't have to buy scallion pancakes.
KFC and McDonald's are open 24 hours a day.
It's convenient.
Only scallion pancakes can make An An have a big appetite.
You hadn't seen her for a long time. You have no idea.
When she's not feeling well,
only scallion pancakes can move her.
Turn to Jianguo West Road.
Granny Scallion Pancakes.
This is a popular shop.
It will close in 15 minutes.
We don't have much time left. Sit still.
What should we do?
We have to wait.
I'll call the store
and ask them to wait for us.
It's useless.
As you said,
Granny Scallion Pancakes, right?
The boss must be a granny.
As she's old, she needs rest.
She closes the store whenever she wants.
Right?
Hello?
Hello.
I see
your store will close in ten minutes.
We're on our way.
Can you wait for us?
Sorry, we can't.
We need to take inventory
and prepare for tomorrow's work.
How much is a scallion pancake?
I'll pay you ten times.
You have money?
What's the big deal?
Hello.
Boss, here is the thing.
My wife is pregnant.
Yeah.
After she got pregnant,
she eats whatever she wants.
Boss, you know,
that's how pregnant women are, right?
Besides, your scallion pancakes are delicious.
We both like your scallion pancakes very much.
So if it's convenient for you,
would you close the door half an hour late?
We're in a traffic jam. We'll be there soon.
It's troublesome.
OK.
I'll wait for you for half an hour.
Hurry up.
No more minute is allowed.
OK. Thank you.
Wish you booming business, boss.
I'm not your wife.
Here we are.
You get off. I don't.
I'll wait for you here.
OK.
Madam,
I called you just now.
Here you are.
- These are the scallion pancakes you want. - How much?
30 yuan.
An An,
look what I bought for you.
She's not here.
I bought you scallion pancakes.
She's not in the bedroom, either.
How could this be possible?
She should have been back an hour ago.
I'll call her.
Sorry, the number you dialed is power off.
Her phone is off.
Why am I o careless?
I've noticed that she's not looking very well these days,
but I don't care.
She's very impulsive sometimes.
Now it's a special period.
Don't worry.
An An has been through so many things.
She must have grown up,
right?
She has learned to take care of herself.
She just forgets
or doesn't want to tell us
where she goes.
Right?
Don't worry.
Shen, Shen Yilin.
She may have gone to Shen Yilin.
As you said,
all the witnesses have backed out.
It's probably Shen Yilin's trick.
An An may be with her now.
It's possible.
Today is the day when Shen Yilin practices in Kendo Club.
She must
practice there tonight.
She should not finish now.
If An An has an appointment with her,
she should be nearby.
Where is the Kendo Club?
Take me there now.
Let's go.
Go.
I wanted to ask you out,
but I thought you'd turn me down
on the grounds of your daughter and your job.
My daughter is at her grandparents' home today.
And you took my job.
Let's go for a drink.
Where is An An?
An An?
How do I know?
The ex-girlfriend
and the ex-lawyer are both here.
Lei Yuhao,
don't be sarcastic.
Did An An really not come to you?
Why did she come to me?
I won't talk to
my client's ex-wife after work.
Where is she?
What happened?
She is missing?
Since you don't see her,
it's none of your business.
Let's go.
How could she be missing?
When was she missing?
Did you look for her at home?
Yes.
The coffee shop?
Yes.
Did she go to find Yu Feifan
or Yu Doudou?
I've looked for her all around.
Yilin, well,
sorry.
I'll go with them.
Xu Lang,
what does her business have to do with you?
Well,
go home early and have a rest.
I owe you a drink.
Let's go.
Go.
Have you found her?
No.
I've called the bar where she got drunk before.
She's not there either.
Let's call the police.
The public security organ won't initiate an investigation
unless the adults are missing for more than 24 hours.
It's useless to call the police now.
What to do?
Don't worry. She must be okay.
Well,
let's go home and have a look.
Yeah.
Maybe she's home now.
Let's go.
She's not home.
An An.
Where is she?
I've known her for so many years.
No matter where she used to hide,
I would find her in an hour.
Something must have happened to her.
Stop crying.
We don't know what happened.
You're crying like a duet.
What duet?
Brother An, why are you hiding here?
Brother An.
An An. An An.
Brother An.
An An.
What's wrong with her?
She has a fever.
Take her to the hospital.
I'll drive.
Qiu Tian, take this.
An An.
Qiu Tian.
Check
whether it is the nearest hospital.
Check again.
Yes, right.
It's the nearest hospital.
Why is it so far away?
Whoops.
What are you looking at?
What are you doing here?
Would you like chocolate?
Wipe your hands first. They're dirty.
The doctor said
you have a bad cold,
plus over fatigue
and hypoglycemia because you ate little food.
It's not serious.
Glucose has been injected.
Why don't you go?
Your daughter is at home alone. Aren't you worried about her?
Don't worry about my business.
Take care of yourself.
Normal.
Remember to check your pulse every half an hour.
If you think it's troublesome,
press the calling device.
The nurse will check it for you.
Got it.
Take good care of yourself.
Or who will take care of your son?
Don't worry about my business.
I don't care at all.
You think I want to stay here?
Lei Yuhao has gone to go through hospitalization procedures.
Qiu Tian has gone to buy you a night snack.
You don't want to see me anyway, do you?
You're awake and okay.
I have to go.
What's wrong? If you have anything to say, say it.
Thank you.
That's all.
You can leave.
What else do you want?
Why do you grab my trousers?
Anyway, it's not easy to take a taxi now.
I won't leave until they come back.
Let go. I'm not leaving.
Let go.
I cannot sleep.
Tell a story.
Who? Me?
I know you can't tell a story.
I'll tell you a story.
You're sick.
Yeah.
That's why I'm here.
I'll tell you a story about the hospital.
Don't.
I don't want to listen to it.
In an abandoned hospital...
Stop. I don't want to listen to it.
If you walk into the elevator after 12 o'clock...
You're sick.
Don't talk to people with red ropes,
because only the dead
will wear such red ropes.
You are simply not in your right mind.
That means you see ghosts.
A new nurse was scared
after she heard the story.
She was on duty that day.
When she walked into the elevator,
she saw a woman with long hair that trailed over shoulders.
She asked the woman
whether she heard the story before.
Guess what that woman said.
What did she say?
She said, "Yes.
Do you mean this one?"
You're mad.
You are simply not in your right mind.
I'm not scared.
It's not horrible at all.
I listened to it
in the past.
Could you scare me
by telling a story that I listened to before?
Absolutely no.
It's strange.
Red rope.
Brother An
wore a big smile.
What happened?
They are enemies, aren't they?
Yeah.
After I completed the procedures,
the atmosphere has changed.
What happened?
What's wrong?
You're not feeling well?
No, I'm fine.
Do you get sick?
Don't move.
China's best friend.
Don't you know you have a fever?
Your body temperature is much higher.
You don't know you're sick
but try to bear it.
Go.
I'm not sick.
I'm not a delicate girl.
A lot of work is waiting for me.
I have to take care of many people.
I don't have time to get sick.
What are you doing?
Sorry, nurse,
she's sick.
Can you stop behaving like a bandit?
Can you be a sweet woman?
No.
It's because no one can control you.
You know?
I'm very sick. How can I be cured?
I'm fine.
Just like this.
Bro.
Be serious.
Take the night snack to An An.
I have something else to do.
But you're sick.
I'll just have some Erguotou and sweat.
Can Erguotou
treat a patient?
Boss, what's wrong?
What can I do for you?
I am sorting out the materials of Yu Feifan's divorce case
and will hand them over to Lawyer Shen.
I suddenly find that
the financial data
provided by their company's accountant
is quite different from
what Mr. Yu usually told me.
Do you need any help?
I need you
to sort out
all the financial statements,
data provided to us
by their company's accountant.
and the emails.
Okay, I'll get them sorted out right away.
So you suspect...
I'm worried.
I'm afraid
I may make a very serious mistake.
The competition is about to start.
How's your preparation going?
It's smooth.
I won't be nervous as you're off the stage.
Give play to your strong points.
Lawyer Xu,
why are you here?
Before handing over the documents to Lawyer Shen,
I'd like to talk to you alone.
I'll go out first.
OK.
Sit.
Mr. Yu Feifan,
I have always trusted you.
I believe in your character.
I believe in your personality.
I also believe that
you had no choice but to divorce.
But now I'm starting to doubt it.
What do you mean?
Take a careful look at these documents.
Then tell me why.
Your property is transferred to
Yu's Group
and Yu Desheng
by purchasing property
and trading company shares.
It doesn't last for just a couple of days.
It's been a long time.
You are very clever.
The ways are very secretive and random,
so I couldn't see them.
I found there was something wrong with the numbers
when I was checking alimony.
It's not until this time when I'm about to hand over the materials
that I see the flaws.
From the day I took your divorce case,
you said you would be frank to me.
You introduced Accountant Liu of your company to me,
and let me directly ask him
for all the financial documents.
I believed in you,
so I believed that these documents were also true.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I think so.
I'm a divorce lawyer.
I've seen a lot of people
come up with many tricks
to avoid loss,
but I didn't expect you to do the same.
You are Yu Feifan.
You are a public figure.
Yu's Group is a listed company.
Is it necessary to play a mean trick
for such a small amount of money?
What a shame.
I've never helped my client
bully a woman like this.
Lawyer Xu,
I didn't do that.
I mean,
I didn't do that.
It was my dad,
Yu Desheng.
Congratulations.
You will take part in the Star Comics Award.
Where are you going, Mr. Yu?
You have to go to the venue for preparation in an hour.
Well,
An An stayed up. Why did I also stay up?
It's not my competition.
I have to moisturize my skin.
Then all men will like me.
Hello.
I'll be downstairs.
Hurry up.
I see. Bye.
My skin has been moisturized.
Perfect.
Look.
This style isn't suitable for ordinary people
but An An.
Brother An,
congratulations for coming back.
I'm nervous.
As long as I close my eyes, I see Doudou everywhere.
I know
I have to win,
and then I will be able to see Doudou.
But I'm just a full-time housewife.
I've never played in a competition like this,
and it's a live competition.
I, I really...
I'll go with you.
I'll put off today's event.
You also make a call
to cancel your meeting.
Enough.
You're like a mother
who sends her child to kindergarten on the first day.
It's been more than a month
since you started that event.
The guests are all important figures.
Can you cancel it?
And today
I'll talk about custody
with Shen Yilin.
I can't cancel it, either.
Well,
anything can change for Brother An,
but it's her fight alone.
Anyway,
she must
learn to face it by herself.
But...
Qiu Tian,
don't change your schedule for me.
I, I'll go to the competition alone.
I can do that.
Really?
Fatty is right.
I will try my best.
We'll go to you as soon as we're done.
If it wasn't for my divorce,
I might never know
you were such a terrible person.
How old are you?
You're like the hooligan out there.
I thought it was something big.
It's just a little thing.
A little thing?
Accountant Liu works for you.
And he's also the financial director of my studio.
When I started my studio,
you transferred him in.
Now I understand.
It turns out you've planned everything.
Be polite when you talk to me.
You're afraid of being schemed against,
so you scheme against others,
including me.
That's for your own good.
For my own good?
You did it for me?
Don't forget.
No one could
stop you marrying An An back then.
You didn't even write the prenuptial agreement.
Now you divorced as I expected.
If the marriage goes wrong,
it'll be hard to divide up the property.
But luckily,
Accountant Liu and I have been controlling your finance.
Or you would have to close your studio
after this divorce.
So
I should thank you?
I warn you.
Don't talk to me in this way.
I warn you.
You are not allowed to interfere in my life
or hurt my family.
It's you who divorced An An.
Yes.
I'm glad I divorced her.
She's finally free.
It was her greatest misfortune
to marry a man like me
and marry into our family.
What did you say?
And
I decide to give up the custody of Doudou.
How dare you.
Contestant,
you can't come here.
The competition is about to start.
Why hasn't Mr. Yu come?
Look at the expression in your eyes.
You really love Mr. Yu.
Ms. Dawang,
you are a judge.
Shouldn't you be preparing now?
What do I have to prepare?
What kind of judge am I?
I'm your puppet.
I'll do whatever you want me to do.
Watch your mouth.
It's not a big deal.
There's no one here.
You know,
things don't go as you expect.
Yu Feifan has promoted An An.
What does it mean?
It means that there is true love between them.
Why can't you see
something so obvious?
Mr. Yu is always soft hearted.
You don't know him at all.
How stupid you are.
But
I'm not interested in
your things.
Since I didn't help you get what you wanted,
can you let me go?
No.
Before the end of the competition,
you're not allowed to leave the jury.
You need to make sure I get the gold medal.
I can't do that.
Why?
You set the theme.
I have been ready.
You and Mr. Yu have one vote each.
Even if Mr. Yu doesn't vote for me,
it'll be a draw.
There can be no draw in this competition.
What do you mean?
Besides the votes from Yu Feifan and me,
there're also votes from the third parties.
What are they?
Compared with my friend Qiu Tian,
I'm really stupid.
Every time when I'm in danger,
she always
tries her best to save me.
But when she meets difficulties,
I can't do anything.
An An, help.
So I'm curious
why she's willing
to be my good friend for so long.
Doesn't she feel tired?
Doesn't she think it's unfair?
When are you going to save me?
You always help me,
but I can't help you.
Company is also a kind of help.
For example, you eat fast and I eat slowly,
but you always wait for me after you finish.
Such company should also be protected.
Get down.
Let me alone. I'm moved.
