Ziying, can you stop being so hard working?
You're dragging me here to self-study even during the holidays.
How do you think Dofuru's group dating is going on?
Why are you asking? Are you afraid someone is going to take Dofuru away?
What are you saying?
He's not even my boyfriend yet.
Not yet?
That means you're planning to confess to him?
I have been thinking about doing that.
But I'm already a high school senior. I still think schoolwork is more important.
Don't worry! I heard that the girls they're meeting today
are from the legendary and infamous 'No Beauty High School'!
Is that a mole or a booger?
I don't want to know.
Thankfully, there's still someone I can look at. Or else, I'm leaving immediately.
Oh, my god. We have to leave this Jurassic Park as fast as possible.
Aiya, my parents are almost arguing to the point of divorce, so I might have to leave first.
Your parents love me the most. I think it would be useful if I go with you.
Wow! Schoolwork has been giving me so much pressure recently.
I'm going to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder.
The three of you sure have no manners.
This group date is supposed to be fun. The three of you...

Thank you for always relying on me and being the Ai Mili that I can depend on.
Regarding Mrs. Li's divorce case,
- we won the case! - Yehey!
I lost the first case in my life.
I would like to invite you to work at my law firm.
- You said you would stop raising a hand on me! - It hurts?!
I want a divorce.
Come back home this New Year's Eve, to eat dinner with us.
Ever since Mom left, that place is no longer my home.
I saw Sister Qianhui today.
Dai Qianhui?
What actually happened between the two of you?
Miss, if you're going to wear a short dress, I suggest riding the elevator.
Or else, you'll make the person walking behind you very uncomfortable.
Was I asking for a suggestion? What does your nagging supposed to mean?
I'll give you two choices.
You can either openly look. I don't mind.
Or, you can walk past me.
I'm never used to being second.
Okay.
I didn't think I'd be losing so often.
I came in third place for this year's Shin Kong Tower Life Run Up.
Wait for me. I need to use the restroom.
Wait for you?
- Hello. - Hello.
Things have not been going well recently.
Lawyer Sun, can you give me some time to consider
the matter of working at your firm?
Please wait! This is not appropriate!
What's wrong with asking?
Qianhui! Qianhui!
Hi, Mr. Lawyer Sun.
I am willing to forgive you for not waiting for me earlier.
I apologize, Boss.
She is the high school junior I mentioned who is coming for an interview today.
You're here early.
Am I supposed to be late?
Haven't you heard of the two words "on time?"
Arriving early shows my intentions and sincerity.
Boss, Mr. Shen has just entered the conference room.
Okay. I know.
You can start your interview directly on the battlefield.
Mr. Shen, do you and your wife have any mutual interests?
Usually, I like to play golf.
She doesn't accompany me most of the time.
Then what about her friends? Are you familiar with them?
I said I love her, so no matter what kind of friends she wants to make,
I have no objection. I am fine with them.
Then each year, do you two ever plan for vacations?
We are both busy with work.
Plus, these past two years, we have been constantly arguing about the issue of having children,
so we never arranged for any vacation or traveling.
Mr. Shen,
have you ever done anything inappropriate towards your wife?
For example, assault, abuse, or anything of the sort.
How could I? I can't wait to even care for her,
why would I... hurt her?
Okay. I understand.
I believe the judge would want the two of you to communicate and compromise,
not divorce.
That's good.
Lawyer Sun, I really, really love my wife.
I cannot lose her.
I cannot lose this marriage.
I know.
During this next period of time, treat your wife better.
I will.
We'll stop here for today.
Thank you. Have to trouble you then.
Don't mention it.
All right, let me see your notes.
I didn't write any.
Then what were you doing earlier?
Chatting with my friend.
I think you were wasting both of our time.
Clean up your things and leave my office.
I think you're venting your anger onto me.
I'm venting my anger onto you?
You were hoping to end the meeting before the upper bulb of the hourglass empties.
However, you failed to do so.
This can be seen in your furrowed brows when the upper bulb became empty.
Next, you asked me to leave your office.
Isn't this because you're not satisfied with your performance, therefore, venting your anger onto me?
Earlier, Shen Heixuan spoke with over-exaggerated hand motions.
This shows he could be someone who exaggerates.
His eyes were evasive.
It's either, he lacks confidence, or his words must not be trusted at all.
Also, isn't today his first meeting with us?
Yet, he constantly emphasized that he loves his wife.
Instead of feeling moved, I don't understand why he is exaggerating so much.
In short, my conclusion is that
love isn't the only reason why he refuses to divorce.
If you would still like me to leave your office, that's okay.
I will cooperate with you.
You've been recruited. You can start tomorrow.
Did I say I was available tomorrow?
- Then if you're not available tomorrow— - I also didn't say I wasn't available tomorrow.
I want to teach you a lesson.
Please don't mindlessly make decisions for someone else.
At least, be respectful. Don't be so overbearing.
I've been schooled.
You're welcome.
Then if it's not too much trouble,
go outside and find Tiffany to fill out your personal information.
Who's Tiffany?!
- Lawyer Zhou. - Yes?
About quitting, I've thought it through.
I've decided to stay and work hard with everyone.
Is this the answer you've concluded after thinking, or is it for Wu Ziying?
To be honest, I haven't come up with a conclusion in the matter Lawyer Zhou has asked me to think about.
But I'm certain that I am worried about Ziying.
I want to help her.
All right.
Then, I guess, I'll have to continue giving you a salary
and let you think carefully about your own problems without worry.
But the content and amount of work you do will not change.
No problem!
Didn't you always say that I'm qualified for this job?
Lastly, I'm reminding you to keep thinking about your life problem.
Time won't wait for you.
Clean these things up.
Hello?
I've received your reply.
Right. I respect your decision.
It's just that you were the first person I wanted to hire since I started this hiring search.
Can I know your reason for rejecting me?
Actually, I did think about going to work for your firm.
But my high school classmate is getting a divorce.
She happened to ask my boss to be her lawyer.
I wanted to stay and help her, so—
The high school classmate that you speak of is Wu Ziying, right?
How did you know?!
It can't be that the lawyer of her husband is you?
Seems like we'll be opponents.
How come things in this world are often like this?
On one hand, it wants you to learn to pick yourself up
from where you've fallen. On the other hand,
it wishes for you to fall where you've fallen before.
It's so strange!
Even though I know it's impossible, I do hope it's a win-win situation for us.
No problem. Let's work hard together.
Do your best.
For real?
The president of Insight saw the calendar photos you took of Goddess Ziying and
opened an online promotion course for you?!
He even pushed you to be the face of it?!
Be responsible for the marketing proposal?! And he's even paying you?!
Correct.
What do you think?
It's great. It's a good opportunity.
I think so, too.
What is the situation now?
I'm a distinguished council member of the photography association.
I am likable, tall, formidable,
has extraordinary bearing, cool, and extremely handsome!
Why did they choose you and not me?
Wow. Is this world broken or am I broken?
You're the one who's broken.
Don't move. You even have a new watch. So cool. How much?
This is the Christmas gift Xiao Ai gave me.
Plus, it's waterproof.
But, I just thought of something.
Your relationship with Xiao Ai has recently been bad, right?
Or else, Xiao Ai clearly knew that you're so, so, so, so, so afraid of water.
Why would she purposely gift you a waterproof watch?
Why don't you just give this watch to me, your bro,
and you can even receive a sincere thank you for it?
- That's easy. - Okay.
You didn't zip up.
Thank you.
Let's change the topic. Are you free lately? Save some time for me.
I'm free during the day. Why?
Sorry for keeping you waiting. I ran into some traffic.
Goddess Ziying, waiting for you is natural, a must, reasonable, and honorable.
Doufuru, am I right?
- Hey. - Yeah.
You didn't zip up.
Let's not talk about the zipping up matter.
- Why don't I show you around the new landscape of our community? - Okay.
Let me tell you that this new special community of Linban
is currently the best construction in Taipei's Waterfront.
It's as beautiful as you. Let's quickly go.
This is our a thousand meter square-themed garden.
Different flowers bloom in each season.
Also, you only need to walk forward to get to Riverside Park of Dahan River.
You even have Youbikes by the park gates. It's super convenient.
Speaking for real, when I'm wandering around myself, I feel like an internet celebrity myself.
You guys talk. I'll just answer this call. It's Weili.
Don't worry.
Even though my senior likes to chat, he's very loyal.
- He won't spread your matter around. - Okay.
What do you think about the environment here?
The environment here is pretty good.
But I still want to see the inside of the house.
Yes.
It's a Eucalyptus tree.
Eucalyptus tree?
Eucalyptus tree is pretty rare in the world.
Plus, such a large tree probably costs millions.
- Wow. It's that valuable? - Yes.
Do you know what Eucalyptus trees represent?
I don't.
Life is tough. No matter what type of adversity, you will get through it.
Actually, this place really isn't bad.
If you can move here, see these plants and flowers every day, take a stroll to the park...
I know that such a great environment will be helpful to you.
Hey, pretty lady, have fun!
What's going on? Someone who doesn't drink is suddenly drinking.
Are you crying?
It's nothing. Amy and I broke up today.
You know, I just have to torture myself sometimes.
What happened, Weili? You have a new girl again?
I don't! Granted, even if I did, I would have to wait for you to introduce her to me.
That's not what I'm saying!
Let me tell you. During those days, I was genuinely... very busy.
Hey, Brother Nan. Long time no see! Where did you recently go to visit?
Missed you to death, Darling.
Why did you come so late?
Weili, let me ask you something.
Is your sister really quitting her job to work for Sun Jingming?
I don't know. I didn't hear her say anything.
Hey, Brother Dou, did you know Sister Qianhui is back in the country?
Really?
What really is the reason why she and my sister had a falling out?
During last year's World Cup, didn't we often stay up late watching the live broadcast at my house?
I remember that night... was Top Eight...
If you wanted to be friends with Gina, you could have directly told me!
You say one thing but do another thing.
What are you being pretentious for?! Huh?
Who was being pretentious?!
Before, you were unhappy that I gave a like to Gina's post, so I didn't.
You two.
Be quiet!
So because you didn't promise me, you can betray me like that?!
What is your problem? Who is betraying you?
You two, let's all calm down.
Leave!
You even have the nerve to give me that face?
Someone told me they saw you and her going to a movie together.
It was because I ran into her that day and we happened to be watching the same movie.
She asked me to buy her a ticket, so we can watch it together for convenience's sake. Could I say no?!
You shouldn't have! You knew she's the beach girl that stole my boyfriend!
Not only did you not kick her for me when you saw her, you even went to watch a movie with her?!
Enough, you two!
Our soccer match is going to start soon. It's better if we just—
We're not watching it!
The French team will win anyway. What's there to watch?
The French depends on mercenary. What's so amazing about that?
You're rooting for Argentina, aren't you?!
Whoever you're not supporting, I am supporting!
Dai Qianhui, the person who stole your boyfriend was Gina, not me!
Why are you exploding at me?!
Because you don't support me!
Well, you don't have to take out your anger on me!
You!
Hey! The lens!
You're dead!
Another one?
I've had enough!
Ai Mili! I'm ending this friendship with you!
I don't need a friend like you!
So, do you know what that situation taught me?
Always watch a ball game at someone else's house.
No! It's don't ever get caught up in a fight between best friends.
But I think it's ridiculous that they fought to the point of ending a friendship over this kind of matter.
No, Brother Dou.
If you analyze this matter from a female perspective,
it was my sister who broke the code.
So my sister should apologize to Sister Qianhui.
Apologize, my ass! She's the one being ridiculous. Why should I apologize?
You shouldn't let something like this ruin your friendship.
It was her who ended our friendship first.
She doesn't care about me. Why should I care about her?
It's not like you haven't fought before.
From what I remember, every time you apologize, everything was okay.
It's all because I always apologized. I've had enough!
I've had enough acting as a servant, serving this kind of princess.
Every time we go shopping, I had to carry her stuff.
She takes my menstrual pads every month.
She always makes me wait in line for her. Don't you think it's too much?
The old you wouldn't feel like this.
Stop talking about how things were before. I don't want to hear it!
You were the one who brought up the past.
Laizi said before that Dai Qianhui isn't a worthy friend to make.
It was practically self-torture. Now, I feel like he made a lot of sense.
You already broke up with Laizi, and you're still carrying his mindset?
It's Dai Qianhui's mindset that I don't want to carry.
Good night.
I told you that you're different now, and you don't believe me.
Little Xiao Ai, even Weili said that I'm not the same as before.
Am I that different?
In the past, you used to be straightforward and cute.
Nowadays, you put up a front and you're unhappy.
In the past, regardless if I can see you or not,
I could hear your laughter whenever I walk into the office.
Be myself.

- What is it? - Are you still going to Sun Jingming's firm?
I told Lawyer Zhou that I've decided to stay to help Ziying.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?
Hello?
Oh, right. How did it go with taking Ziying to look at new houses?
She has already decided to become my senior's neighbor.
So fast?
Why is she so rich? I'm so jealous.
On January 3rd, Mr. Zhang was domestically abused by his wife.
A torture claimant was already—
Be careful.
Senior, are you okay?
No, I was just thinking that if it was the old me,
I would've laughed loudly and called myself mentally defective.
Anyway, after getting a restraining order, there's a high chance that a divorce will be favored.
- So, we have to continue pursuing this case. - Okay.
Ziying.
Hello, Ziying.
I already sent Shen Heixuan's car records to your firm through express delivery.
Okay, I'll take a look when I get back.
Okay. Bye-bye.
If we can't find any faults Shen Heixuan made in this marriage,
I think it'll be hard for Ziying to win this divorce case.
Yeah. And if in the end, they would just return to negotiating for a divorce agreement but couldn't reach a compromise,
there's a lot of cases too of divorces that gets dragged for years.
We can't give up.
We have to help Ziying get out of this violent marriage.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I'm hungry. We're close to our school.
Let's go eat Lao Cai's pan-friend stuff bun, okay?
Lao Cai's pan-friend stuff bun?
I used to eat there a lot!
Mei Mei, what do you want to eat?
Boss, I want the bun with Taiwan chives.
Boss, we want...
Four Taiwan chive buns.
You two are always together. You're like conjoined twins.
How did you know? We're both really bad at math.
Sister Qianhui, it's been a long time.
Junior Mei Mei, it's been a long time. Are you well?
It's been okay. But what has senior been up to?
It's been a while since you've come to our firm looking for Senior Xiao Ai.
Sister Xiao Ai, who?
What class?
That...
You mean that pretentious girl? I've already seen through her.
Mei Mei, you're very naive.
Let me tell you. Stay away from her.
Or else, you might get severely injured by her one day.
Dai Qianhui, aren't you being a bit too much?
How come there's a more handsome new boss now? Where is the old boss?
My dad's more handsome. I'm managing the stall now.
You're also handsome.
There's only these left today. How many do you want?
I'll take them all.
Hello? We were here first.
But I ordered first.
You...
You've never been to a wake before, but you've at least been to a restaurant, right?
All restaurants serve the food to the person who ordered first.
Boss, pack the two chive buns together and put the rest in a bag.
Keep the change. Thank you.
- Here, my treat. - Thanks.
Senior, we can each have one.
There's no need!
Let me tell you. Before I got scared of the water, I was an excellent swimmer.
So right now, all I need to do is overcome this fear.
And I can easily prove that my words are true.
You also know that Xiao Ai gave me this waterproof watch,
so that I can dive in the ocean to photograph. So I have to practice.
Can you stop your delaying tactics?
How am I delaying time? What are you talking about?
Ever since, you talk without thinking first.
- Let me tell you, I've already endured you so many times. - Go down.
Let me tell you, based on my experience, facing your fear directly is the best way.
How do you feel?
Doufuru! Doufuru!
I'm coming!
Get up.
Why are you so useless?
Grab on. Grab the rope.
Push me in.
Do you know how tiring it is to save someone who keeps struggling in the water?
Don't ask me again. I'm not doing it.
- Hurry up. - I don't want to.
- Hurry. - No.
- Hurry. - Not doing it!
- Hurry. - Stop annoying me. No!
Hurry up. ♫ Are you from the 80's, 90's, or 2010, or from the late 70's ♫
Kiss your head. ♫ Who cares about those decades ♫
Don't give up. ♫ We're all living in the present time ♫
No problem. Of course, it's on me... no problem. No problem.
Come to my house for dumplings tonight. You buy the chives.
I've decided to accept the offer of Insight's owner
and join their photography club.
So you're going to be an internet star?
It's not that. I just think I need more practice in front of the camera.
Are the dumplings done yet? I want to eat thirty pieces.
- Okay, I got it. - Cook extra for me.
Don't leave.
The sauce is ready. Take this to the table.
Okay.
It's almost done.
Did you know, I looked at Ziying's husband's car records.
He lives more like a public servant than a public servant does right now.
I bet it was Sun Jingming who told him to do that.
Really? Then do you still have to follow him?
Of course. I can't let any faults slip by.
- Your dumplings are done. You can take them out. - Okay.
Say, aren't I so unlucky today? She completely ruined my good mood today.
To someone like her who's so ridiculous! Why should I apologize?
You tell me!
She said she's seen through me. And she even told Mei Mei to stay away from me, so as not to get severely injured.
What? Do I drive while intoxicated or will I hack someone to death?
I'm so mad. My god...
You tell me. What would the old me have done?
You would've directly talked back to her.
Your heroine personality would've exploded on her.
You would've dissed her mercilessly.
And both of you would've exploded and thrown the buns at each other without caring about your image.
That's right. I should've thrown the buns at her face until it was covered with chives.
Why did I care about how that handsome boss would see me?
Why was I pretending to be like I was elegant?
Fine. I've decided.
Starting today, I'm going to be myself.
I asked you to come to declare that.
I, Ai Mili, have decided to implement "Be myself!"
- Wow. But... - What?
If you start being pretentious again...
Then punish me. You two will be in-charge of supervising.
Wow. We're going to play that big?
You won't be able to afford it.
If I decide to do it, I'll definitely play it big.
Oh, really? Then what's the punishment?
I know. Flicking foreheads, the deadly kinds.
The ones where you flick until you're red.
Okay. No problem.
Like this.
Like this. Is that okay?
Stop playing with my dumplings!
So senseless!
The country's environment is ruined by these kind of people! Did you see that?
What's wrong again? It hurts a lot!
- Before, this is what you would do. - Huh?
Excuse me, don't litter. Thank you.
♫ Walking in this abandoned street ♫
♫ Only a bit of exhaustion in my gaze ♫
What is it? Keep going.
What happened?
The wheel doesn't seem to function properly.
I'll take a look. Help me out.
- Are you okay? - S-So...
I'm so sorry.
Wait!
What does your husband think about you moving out?
He would send me messages to return home almost everyday.
He's making evidence to put all the wrongs in the marriage down to you.
You should reply tactfully.
Such as you want to have time for yourself,
because he has hit you before.
This made you unable to walk out from the shadows.
This way, we can prove the existence of domestic violence and it will be beneficial to us.
Okay, I understand.
Sis, what time is it? Wake up.
Just a little more.
I'm just too lazy to get up. This is not about not being myself.
Stop it. The old you would've hit me already.
That's right.
- One moment, one moment! - Get out!
Today, I have to jump in myself.
Friend, you said the same thing ten minutes ago.
- No. - Don't say no. Go down—
Hey, why did you move?
You were the one always telling me to push you in!
Hey! Listen up.
Because you're always pushing me in, it's making me be more afraid of the water.
But if I face it myself from now on,
then all the problems are solved.
You just have to save me when it's necessary.
You really know what to say.
Come, get down here.
No, I don't want to. You're down there, so I don't want to go down.
Okay, if you don't come in, I'm coming up there.
- Stay away. - Get down here!
It's really beautiful here.
You can see the river scenery and Crescent Bridge.
There's even a cinema nearby.
Sorry.
I'm still getting settled into the house.
So I can only host you out here on the rooftop garden.
Thank you for taking care of me so well.
Goddess Ziying, I think you're being too polite.
Just thinking about how we can look up at the sky
and enjoy the night view together from now on,
this is the greatest fortune that I can get!
And I was also thinking, if after dinner,
we can go to Taipei's most beautiful waterfront together.
Take a stroll together, and then we can watch a movie in the cinema nearby.
Then the worship candle I lighted at the temple in the beginning of the year
can be considered to have a grade of a 100%.
That's called lighting a worship candle?
If Goddess Ziying agrees to go with you
to the cinema, mall for shopping and watching movies,
then won't you have to go vegetarian to return the favor?
Oh, god. How will going vegetarian be enough?
Goddess, let me tell you this.
If we can tour around the community bay downstairs,
and go to Happy Farm to deliver some vegetables,
then find a random cafe downstairs.
And just stay there together, not doing anything.
If that's the case, I am solemnly promising each of you that
- I'll never eat shrimp for the rest of my life. - What?
Aren't you allergic to shrimp?
Weird.
Hey, Bro, your ability to tell jokes has regressed.
I think I'm doing fine.
Anyway, Goddess Ziying has been continuously laughing.
You also used to call me Goddess Xiao Ai.
What? I'm not a goddess anymore?
Forget it. Because she's Ziying.
Did I break the rules?
Yes. You weren't like this before.
If it was the old you, before my senior had time to answer,
you would've tackled him and said,
"Am I not a goddess anymore? Huh?"
- "Am I not a goddess? Be clear with it!" - What are you doing?
I seriously think you're just finding an excuse to flick my forehead. Right?
- Was I like that before? - You were.
- You were— - No.
What game are you two playing? I can't breathe.
Move that chicken leg away!
No, Xiao Ai is implementing the mission of being herself.
Weili and I are in-charge of supervising her.
Oh. so that's what this is about.
A lot of people think that I've changed.
So I decided that I want to be the person I was before.
You are indeed different.
The old you loved to laugh and it's the dramatic kind.
Xiao Ai, what exactly did you find out?
You don't have to worry that anyone will steal Doufuru away,
- because the people who went on a date with them are all unusual. - What?
Do you know that in order to avoid them,
Datou pretended he was bipolar and kept chewing on his straw?
Doufuru was even more outrageous.
He kept picking his nose.
So idiotic. So funny!
I used to envy Xiao Ai so much,
because I could never laugh like her.
But during the class reunion, I felt like you were different.
But I couldn't figure out what exactly was different.
Never mind. I hope that you can quickly find Ai Mili.
Thank you. Then, you have to help supervise me, too.
- Of course. - Okay.
Why are you hitting me, too?
Of course. The old you would'n't have said thank you.
You would've said, "Is the present Xiao Ai not good?"
I understand the logic of this story, now.
So Goddess, you used to like Doufuru?
Did I say something wrong?
No.
It's nothing.
Didn't that studio owner want you to start an internet class?
Ziying happens to be a news anchor.
You can ask her to teach you how to speak.
You'll surely improve rapidly. Great.
I'm teaching? We used to have to take speech classes.
That's too boring.
I think you have to use tongue twisters to train your speaking.
Okay. Then if we're playing, let's play big.
If you lose, you'll get your forehead or ears flicked.
Flicking forehead.
Okay. Then let's play “Eat vegetarian on the first day."
You all know how to it play, right? [A tongue-twister game]
Then let's start with you.
Too easy.
Eat vegetarian on the first day.
Eat vegetarian on the second day. [Not pronounced accurately.]
I'm flicking your forehead!
Eat vegetarian...
[Wu Ziying Abandons Her Biological Mother!?]
I bought breakfast back.
I'm going to work.

[Wu Ziying Abandons Her Biological Mother!?]
How can this be?
Isn't Ziying's family rich?
How could her mother be a housekeeper?
Someone exposed her saying she's not the daughter of a rich family.
She's just the daughter of a rich family's housekeeper.
She's a fake princess.
Really?
Look at this.
The neighbor said it's already been two years since Ziying last went to visit her mother.
Could she be one of those people with a lot of issues, but you guys just didn't know?
Hello, Lawyer Zhou.
Did you see the Weekly Magazine yet?
Yes, I'm looking at it now.
Is what's written on it true?
I don't know.
But when we were young, we did think she was the daughter of a rich family.
I don't care about Wu Ziying's past.
Or if she actually abandoned her mother.
This has nothing to do with the lawsuit.
But how come when we're filing a divorce lawsuit,
this news was exposed?
I think these news and gossip
is to divert the judgement on Ziying's case.
That's right.
No matter if it's useful, this is a dirty trick!
And this dirty trick must be from that sore loser, Sun Jingming
telling that Shen Heixuan to do it!
Sun Jingming?
I can promise that this news report has nothing to do with me.
I love my wife so much.
How could I use this dirty trick against her?
Mr. Shen, I hope you're not hiding anything from me.
I have confidence in this lawsuit.
So I hope you understand that we don't need to use any tricks to try and impair the judge's judgement.
I completely understand what you mean by this.
To be honest, Ziying and her mom's relationship isn't good.
I often advised her to change her attitude since that is her mother.
But she never listens to what I say.
I really don't know what to do.
Have you ever told anyone about this?
I never did.
I'm the one who wants to know the most where the source of this news came from.
Lawyer Sun, I cannot accept other people speaking so poorly of my wife!
I want you to immediately research the possibility of suing the Weekly Magazine.
I'll have to trouble you.
I know. Let's end here for today.
Please tell me the results of your investigation about him.
Standard two-faced businessman.
When he sees people, he speaks in human language.
When he sees ghosts, he speaks in ghost language.
At work, he's vicious, merciless and unscrupulous.
Outside of work, he's the image of a good man.
He works with both good and bad people.
No one dares to mess with him.
So out of the things he just said,
fifty percent of it was true and fifty percent was false?
Wrong. Sixty percent was false.
Getting angry at the magazine is being too dramatic.
I can't tell where his sincerity lies.
In addition, he's a Type AB Scorpio.
As long as you offend him, even if it takes him ten or
twenty years, he will still seek revenge.
That is an unfounded speculation.
But it still is a possibility.
Suppose he was the one who exposed this news,
then the revenge that you speak of is established.
It's just that... What did Wu Ziying do to offend him?
Regardless of whether you truly abandoned your mother or not,
the news is out now.
I can only let you take a leave first.

Sister Ziying, there are reporters downstairs. What are we going to do?
She's coming out. It's Wu Ziying!
Miss Wu Ziying! Can I ask if you have anything to say about the news article?
Anything you would like to say?
- Right! - Is there anything you want to say?
Please explain a little.
Do you have any opinion that you can say?
Can I ask you to explain?
Okay, you don't have to say it again.
I won't start a press conference or anything with you.
You won't?
Then how am I going to explain it?
Right now, if a reporter came and asked me
why I let you be a servant, how would I explain it?
Tell me!
Tell you? Have you ever listened to my words?
When Shen Heixuan was still wooing you back then,
I told you not to have any sort of relations with those types of rich people.
You didn't listen.
I told you to work hard step by step to achieve your goals.
You didn't listen!
I told you to not regard money as very important.
- You also didn't listen! - These—
Then what else do I have to say for you to listen?
We've already fought over these things three years ago and I also explained it to you.
Back then, I really did like Shen Heixuan,
not because of his money at all!
Yes.
Then how did you go from a small reporter to a big TV anchor?
Why do you have to say it like that every time?
I did put a lot of effort in it!
I know you're very hardworking.
But you still exploited the Shen family's influence to help you!
Xiao Ying, I've already treated you very well.
I was afraid that you'll feel ashamed that I'm just a house help,
so I told you to not visit me anymore.
In this world, which mom would be willing to not see her own daughter for three years?
Now, it's been exposed.
We finally see each other again.
But you only tell me to go meet those reporters.
I've already been chased by reporters to go in hiding here.
So you said all of that just so you could blame everything on me?
Okay. I won't talk about you being a maid.
But the main point is because of you,
I am temporarily unable to be an anchor.
I am under suspension!
Okay already. I know you're in pain.
Because ever since high school,
you only cared about this.
Please think about other people's suffering as well, okay?
All right, you go back.
Where are you right now?
Xiao Hong, hurry!
- Miss Wu Ziying! Miss Wu Ziying! - I'm hanging up first. I'm hanging up first!
May I ask about your thoughts on the report?
Miss Wu Ziying! Do you have anything you want to refute?
Miss Wu Ziying! Can you please say—
I'm sorry...
because I really need someone to accompany me.
Maid Qin, the madame asked you to go pick up the dry cleaning after you throw the garbage.
Okay. I'll go immediately.
Okay.
Regarding these reports, have you decided to address them?
I can't address much towards these reports.
I just feel unlucky since it's happening at this time.
Have you chatted with your mom yet?
What is there to talk about?
She's not willing to help me even if I talk to her.
Since college, we would always argue.
Our interactions got even less after I got married.
Because she's—
So these past two years... You never went back to see her?
Wu Ziying, I really don't want to believe those reports.
But since we were young, I know how you looked down on your mom.
I never thought it's still like that now.
Even if your relationship with her is bad, you should have at least visited her.
Your dad passed away when you were young.
Your mom worked hard to raise you by herself.
You know that if you act like this, I really feel sorry for your mother.
For you to say these things, mean you don't understand me well.
From now on, you're not my best friend anymore.

♫ You and me are perfect strangers but familiar ♫
Anchor Wu Ziying appeared in the suburb of Tianmu this afternoon.
While a reporter was trying to interview her,
a man wearing a mouth mask suddenly appeared
and forcefully took Wu Ziying away.
Who is this masked man? What is his relationship with Wu Ziying?
Reporters asked around but couldn't get an answer.
- Oh, Lawyer Zhou. - Yes?
I called Ziying all day today, but she never picked up.
She didn't reply to my messages, either.
But Doufuru said that Ziying didn't outright admit to abandoning her mother.
However, she indeed hasn't spoken with her mother for two years.
Remember to remind your Doufuru and Wu Ziying
that Sun Jingming is already using the media.
And negative news like abandoning her mother and the masked man
are all disadvantageous to Wu Ziying.
And our chances of winning this lawsuit is already low.
Don't let this kind of matter happen again.
It'll give Sun Jingming a chance to take a blow at Wu Ziying.
Even if Ziying's not filial and even if Ziying reconciles with Doufuru,
I have to help Ziying get out of this scary marriage.
Do your best!
Hello? Doufuru.
She's not answering her door.
Okay. Then I'll continue to wait.
The subscriber you've dialed is powered off.
Please call again later.
Still nothing from Wu Ziying?
Or is Ziying not home?
But where could she go?
I asked her assistant. She said she never saw Ziying having any friends.
Or should we call a locksmith?
We can't. That's too hasty.
Let's wait and see if Ziying will contact us.
Hello, Aunt. I'm Wu Ziying's high school classmate. I'm Dou Ru.
May I ask you to contact Mrs. Wu and tell her that we must meet?
Aunt!
Old Zhang, excuse me.
Earlier on the phone, you said
you don't know if you misunderstood Ziying.
What does that mean?
Just that because of the news report on the Weekly Magazine claiming she abandoned you,
I scolded her. But...
I found it strange that she didn't refute nor explain herself.
Ziying. I'm very sorry for wrongfully accusing you.
I know you and your mother
have been on bad terms in regards to her working as a maid.
But every month, you still sent her money timely.
I also learned that you've always wished Aunt can accept your offer
to live a pleasant life.
But because Aunt's boss has always been good to her,
she insisted on working there.
So, I can understand
how wronged you felt while enduring
being misunderstood when I was scolding you.
I guess you and Aunt have your own insistence.
So perhaps, there's no right or wrong.
I hope you're home right now.
♫ When I encounter a love that caught me unprepared ♫
Sorry, it was me who created your sense of loneliness.
But from now on, I wish that you understand
that no matter what time, no matter what issue,
you will always have us.
I already talked with your mother.
She's willing to write a personal statement,
so that you can hold a press conference and clarify the situation.
I know this isn't as good as her appearing.
- But she— - That's okay.
Thank you.
- Later— - Lawyer Sun?
Sun Jingming, I didn't think you'd have an opportunity to seek revenge this quickly.

- Later— - Lawyer Sun?
Sun Jingming, I didn't think you'd have an opportunity to seek revenge this quickly.
I hope you don't speak as if you'll let me win this time.
Of course, I won't, because you definitely won't win this time.
Only the weak will rely on talking big with confidence to hide his inner weakness.
I can deeply understand this kind of mentality.
I can understand it, too. Thank you for your demonstration.
It's best if your dirty trick will work. See you in court later.
If you want to keep your marriage with Wu Ziying,
then you shouldn't have hidden the fact that you hit her!
What's up with the opposing lawyer?
Who does she think she is?
She wants to prove I hit her with just two pieces of paper?
You don't plan to say that those injuries were from her accidentally falling, right?
Okay. I admit it.
Those two times were because we had an argument.
Ziying was provoking me with her words.
I lost my senses so I slightly pushed her.
So, does slightly pushing her count as domestic violence?
The two medical inspection sheets that the opposing party brought up today
indeed can't be enough to claim domestic violence.
But this does prove that the two of you had a slightly violent conflict, do you understand?
This is very, very disadvantageous to us.
Starting from now, don't dare to touch a single hair on Wu Ziying.
Ziying has changed.
In order to end this marriage with me, she...
She is capable of doing anything.
How did it become like this?
Think carefully right now.
From the date of the first medical inspection to now,
have you hit Ziying again?
Definitely not.
The opposing party was unwilling to negotiate.
You saw that, too.
That means Wu Ziying's very firm on her decision to divorce.
Are you sure it's purely because of the matter on having children?
I don't know.
If she wants to divorce because she has another man,
then I'm not sure.
Let's end the meeting here today.
We'll keep in touch.
I'll have to trouble you.
He said earlier, "What if Wu Ziying has another man that's why she wants to divorce."
That's too strange. He singled that out.
Typically, people would just respond:
"If there's another reason, I'm not too sure about it."
Plus, if he really, really, really loves his wife,
when he was saying that,
how could he be that calm?
Okay, suppose Wu Ziying really did have an affair,
then what's the reason that Shen Heixuan doesn't want a divorce?
Unless, it's like the way you said it.
He wants to get his revenge.
But according to my investigation, Wu Ziying didn't have an affair.
That masked man was her high school classmate.
Plus, if she wanted an affair, it's not possible.
Shen Heixuan's a very jealous man and has a tight control over her.
Then what he says is even more conflicting.
If he controls his wife that strictly,
how could he not know if his wife is having an affair?
Plus, I found that half the time, Shen Heixuan was in the States.
For this part, I've already asked my American friend to look into for me.
Today, I have four points to address.
First, in the script that everyone's holding,
has the statements showing my monthly transfer of money to my mother.
Second, my mother's not a public figure.
So she decided not to attend this press conference.
But for me, she personally wrote a statement
to clearly explain her reason to work as a maid.
Third, I never said I originally came from a rich family.
Everyone just made such a deduction.
Fourth, a reporter friend from your field captured a masked man before.
He's my high school classmate
and he's even my close friend.
A few days ago, people even assumed I disappeared with him.
But all of that wasn't true.
I was just quietly staying at home by myself.
Shen Heixuan, what exactly is your reason for not wanting to divorce?
Boss, an express delivery from Japan.
Thank you.
Tsukue o... (Japanese)
Han— Hanarete kudasai. (Japanese)
"You should get off your office desk."
[Happy New Year! From: Zimin]
We didn't get anything after following around all day.
After the court session and the press conference,
Shen Heixuan didn't show any abnormal reaction.
He's so calm. Lawyer Zhou and I both think that
he might be secretly making some strange move.
Lawyer Zhou must be thinking that it was Sun Jingming making the tricks.
But I don't think Sun Jingming is the kind of lawyer that would make underhanded moves.
I don't know. I don't want to speak bad about others.
The tasty looking steak is often hard to chew. [You can't judge a book by it's cover.]
You just said that you wouldn't speak bad about others. So childish.
I'm worried that Ziying might not be able to get a successful divorce.
I'm under a lot of pressure.
- No! We can't be discouraged so easily. - Yes.
We cannot let down the masked man's cool rescuing the damsel in distress act.
Wow. Who exactly is the childish one?
I've already explained the situation last time to you yet you're still—
Okay.
You should hurry up and go home.
Prepare yourself to become an internet sensation.
- Bye. - Bye-bye.
Dou and Wu's marriage.
It doesn't sound well however you put it.
Wrong way. It's this way.
[...let you become angel-like...]
Try and think of some happy things to let yourself relax.
Why don't you think of me as... Think of me as an angel, okay?

Hi, Lawyer Sun!
Hi! What a coincidence.
You... Are you cooking today?
Yes, how about you?
Yes.
I get it.
You must be thinking that since we are opponents,
we shouldn't be chatting like this, right?
Okay, bye-bye.
Um... This...
This... it's just, if we don't discuss about the court case,
we can talk about other things, right?
True. How's your health nowadays?
I'm still under a lot of pressure.
Me, too.
I can understand everything.
I know a place where you can relax.
But could you please answer a question of mine first?
Of course. Please ask.
For the last magazine headline,
was that a deliberate act to attempt to destroy Ziying's image?
To be honest, I am not required to clarify this incident with the public.
But because it's you, I'm quite happy to talk about it.
I had nothing to with the news about Wu Ziying and her mother.
With my capabilities, there's no need.
Thank God! I wanted to say how could you possibly be responsible for these things?
The incident made me think too much.
Didn't you say earlier that you know a place to relax?
I suddenly thought of some questions I want to ask you.
You and the manga shop owner,
why did you two break up?
Going out with me was a very stressful matter to begin with,
so I could only agree to the break up.
Then... Then like that, can you still stay friends?
She probably saw how I don't have much friends around me, so she pitied me.
Oh, I see.

♫ Or from the late 70's ♫
- Lawyer Sun, please flick my forehead. - What?
Flick my forehead once. Quickly.
♫ Who are still engulfed within it ♫
- Flick. - Okay.
That's too light! You have to use a bit more strength.
Then, I won't hold back.

I can do it. I'm okay. Ahh!
So relaxing.
I didn't lie to you, right?
Do you find yourself more relaxed?
Yes, it's quite relaxing.
During the massage, you said something about keeping your promise.
- What did you mean by that? - Oh.
I'm currently completing a mission called "Be Yourself."
I want to go back to being the old Ai Mili.
So you mean that you're crazier in the past?
I didn't mean it like that.
Maybe, I'm just more pretentious nowadays.
But however pretentious, I still can't compare to you.
Yes. Probably.
Oh, yes. I'll secretly tell you an urban legend. It's—
