[My Boss]

[Episode 12]

Did I just praise her?

Half-siblings of different genders

can't prove kinship.

Didn't Chen Qingmei say that she was pregnant with a son?

Then indeed, this paternity test can be done.

Dong Shan's father is still alive.

His health isn't good,

but as long as he is alive, we can do it.

Have Dong Shan's father come forward

and conduct a paternity test with the child in Chen Qingmei's womb.

By comparing the Y chromosome,

we can determine if they are from the same paternal line.

But I remember the effectiveness of the paternity test

is weaker than a maternity test, right?

Yes.

The effectiveness of this paternity test

is weaker than a maternity test,

and it is also indirect evidence.

If relying solely on such singular evidence,

we may not necessarily win the case.

But if it's combined with other evidence

to form a complete chain of evidence without logical flaws,

the court will presume

the child in Chen Qingmei

is of Dong Shan's bloodline.

So now we just need to provide proof

that the child in Chen Qingmei

shares the same paternal lineage with no one but Dong Shan.

Dong Shan has no brothers.

We just need to prove the child's father

is not Dong Shan's father.

As for other proofs,

we can go to Chen Qingmei's prenatal checkup hospital.

They should have records

regarding the child's parentage.

It's likely that there will be records about Dong Shan

with his signature.

Furthermore, if the hospital can provide surveillance

proving that Dong Shan accompanied Chen Qingmei to her prenatal checkups,

it would be even more perfect.

There's also Chen Qingmei's apartment.

If there's any surveillance footage,

perhaps we could retrieve

Dong Shan's multiple entries.

These are some of my thoughts.

If there are any issues, please advise.

I think it was quite thorough.

I like the proposal. Let's go with it.

Boss.

Did you just ' Cheng Yao?

Was I praising her?

Yes.

I meant to say

that Cheng Yao's proposal involves a considerable amount of work,

so if you don't want to work overtime,

you better hurry up.

If that wasn't praising, what is?

That was an obvious compliment.

I know whether he's praised someone or not

because he used to always praise me.

I'll go to the restroom.

I'm off. See you tomorrow.

See you.

Cheng Yao, seriously.

I'm not exaggerating,

but it was the first time I've seen him praise someone like that.

If I were you, I'd go home and scream.

Perhaps he praised me hoping

that I'll work harder on overtime.

That makes sense when you put it that way.

No wonder he doesn't praise me.

He doesn't want me to work overtime.

After all, I'm the heir to Junheng.

I have to take care of my health.

Then I'll go home and rest.

No wonder he doesn't praise me.

He doesn't want me to work overtime.

Goodbye, Bao.

See you?

Cheng Yao.

Going back today?

Sorry, Boss.

I might not go back in the coming days.

I want to focus on this case.

I can't cook for you anymore, sorry.

Okay. It's not like I can't do without you.

That's good. Oh right, Boss.

I've already sent the case file to your email.

Please let me know if there's any issue.

I'll leave first.

[Chen Qingmei-Dong Shan Inheritance Dispute Case]

She has worked hard.

There's a set of paper case files at home.

Go back and get it. You'll need it.

I should hurry,

Or I'll miss the last bus.

Boss couldn't have moved away, right?

If you don't have money, don't pretend to be rich and stay in hotels.

You'd better think

about how to be more efficient

and keep your year-end bonus.

I've moved back to the villa.

You can stay here.

I don't advocate silent contribution. It's inefficient.

Did he leave so that I can live here?

♫ Fingertips trace your probing ♫

♫ When the sunset hides in the lamplight ♫

♫ The night arrives, and stars twinkle ♫

No wonder he's the boss.

He even wrote such detailed comments for me.

♫ The most beautiful monologue is your existence ♫

♫ The most probable tomorrow, which I don't want to hide ♫

♫ How long have we been exchanging glances ♫

♫ Heartbeat quickens secretly ♫

♫ The most beautiful confession is the existence of love ♫

♫ At most there are some surprises, and you let me take a guess ♫

♫ I care about everything about you ♫

♫ Rays of light spread day by day ♫

Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi.

What are you doing?

I told you. If you come again, I'll call the police.

I just want to talk to you.

A few words and I'll leave.

You…

You have no idea

how I've gotten through this year.

She…

bosses me around at home

just because her family is wealthy.

You don't know how aggrieved I've been this year.

Just stop.

Denigrating your current wife in front of your ex-wife,

don't you think that's a despicable look?

Cheng Xi, let me tell you.

I'm good now.

I got the money.

I have the fame.

I'm rich.

Whatever you want, I will give it to you.

Cheng Xi, I love you.

I don't believe that our past

means nothing to you.

Yes.

It means something.

Come on. Closer.

What are you doing?

Recording how shameless you are

and sending it to your wife.

Do you think you're great

just because someone is chasing you?

Wu Jun is faking it.

I'm the only one

who is true to you.

Come, take a look.

You had me followed.

Cheng Xi, do you have any idea

how many various girlfriends

Wu Jun has had before?

Why would he want you, a divorcee,

some used goods?

He's playing you.

Cheng Xi.

I'm afraid you'll get hurt.

I'm afraid you'll get hurt

I'm afraid you'll get hurt.

Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi, I love you.

Are you awake now?

If you are, scram.

Okay, I'll leave.

I'm leaving.

Cheng Xi.

Even if you treat me this way,

I still love you

Your girlfriend said she put a piece of chocolate

in your pocket for you

to replenish your sugar levels

when you wake up.

Are you very busy today?

Why haven't you been replying to my messages?

Do you want to go rock climbing together this weekend?

This nursing home looks decent.

It must be quite expensive per day.

Grandpa, I'll go first then.

Call me if you miss me.

What are you doing?

- I don't know. - Come here.

Okay.

What's going on?

Dong Min.

You are always so thoughtful.

After all, we are going behind the granddaughter's back

persuading the Grandpa to switch sides.

It would be troublesome if anything got out.

Mr. Dong Senior is very stubborn.

If you can't convince him, let me know in time.

What's wrong?

No problem, Boss said he's very reassured leaving it to the two of us.

Quick, Dong Min has left.

I heard that Dong Shan has been doing business outside all the time.

Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min have been taking care of Mr. Dong Senior.

They are very close.

Convincing him today is probably going to be a bit difficult.

But rest assured.

I'm here.

As long as it's for Junheng's good,

Mr. Dong Senior is ours.

Mr. Dong.

I know you're close with Dong Min,

and this must be a difficult decision.

But…

But…

Is it a boy or a girl?

A boy.

Are you sure?

If it's a girl,

I won't go through with it.

Having Min is enough for me.

I don't want an outsider

to share her inheritance.

We're sure it's a boy.

They went to Hong Kong

and did a gender determination.

The ultrasound tests

are not accurate.

Sometimes a boy

can suddenly turn into a girl.

They did a chromosome test,

which clearly showed the Y chromosome.

It's positive.

And it was a paternity test.

If it were a girl,

it couldn't have been done.

If it's confirmed to be a boy,

then I'll go along with it.

The bloodline of the Dong family

should be recognized after all.

Mr. Dong, you can also

take a look at this consent form.

You can take a look.

Mr. Dong.

If you are concerned about the Dong family's estate,

there are professional managers who can help you manage it.

Or you can set up a family trust

so that whether male or female, it will not affect your estate.

Girls, you know,

they are to marry and have children.

Yes.

Having her take care of children while running a business

is too exhausting.

Your handwriting is impressive.

[Wishing Grandfather a speedy recovery, Dong Min]

I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Want an orange? Freshly peeled.

Excuse me, a call from a client.

You're young,

so I can understand if you can't

sympathize with the first wife,

but how can you help the mistress fight for the property?

Tricking a confused old man into signing,

do you lawyers

just give up your conscience for money?

I feel so sorry for the wife and granddaughter.

They've taken care of him for so long,

but in the end, someone sets them up.

What kind of world is this?

I got another big case.

Today is a good day.

Things are looking good.

Want some milk tea? On me.

No, I want to return to the law firm first.

What's the rush? Isn't it still early?

I'd like to donate the attorney's fee to charity.

Donate?

Then you'll be working for free, won't you?

Miss Cheng.

Miss Chen. What are you doing here?

I was anxious.

How did your talk go?

Smoothly?

He's agreed to do the test.

But aren't you only two months away

from your due date?

You should rest well.

We will prepare the evidence chain.

Just rest assured.

No, I want to do it now.

Right away, immediately.

I have already consulted with a doctor,

and they can use umbilical cord blood

for DNA identification.

How can that be?

This carries a risk of miscarriage.

How about this? Wait for us…

I can't wait that long.

Two months' time

is enough for Jiang Wenxiu to transfer the property.

If we wait until the child is born,

by then,

I'm afraid there won't be

much money left for him.

Here's the thing.

If they deliberately transfer property,

we can sue them,

so you don't need to worry.

Yes.

Sue them?

Does that work?

Miss Cheng, as you're well clear,

some verdicts, even if beneficial,

are difficult to enforce.

You tell me, as a single girl,

if I can't get the money,

how will I live in the future?

How can I raise my child?

Miss Cheng, woman to woman,

I believe you will understand,

right?

I thought Chen Qingmei, as a mother,

would at least love her own child.

When she was pregnant initially,

she probably had the idea of getting valued because of it.

Using the child in her belly,

she can take the wife's place.

It's a pity that Dong Shan has passed away.

If he knew Chen Qingmei's true colors,

I don't know if he'd regret it.

Cheng Yao,

you shouldn't get too caught up in the case.

Think from a different angle,

for the law firm,

this is a case with a target amount of two hundred million.

As long as Chen Qingmei pays the attorney fees on time,

she, she is a premium client.

Cheng Yao, you've become

a lawyer for less than two years, right?

If you can't wrap your head around some things,

I understand.

You should learn my attitude.

A case is a case,

and you are you.

Don't get too…

It's no big deal.

At worst, you…

Let me treat you to a cup of milk tea.

My Uber is here. Next time maybe.

How did it go with Mr. Dong Senior today?

Very smoothly.

As soon as Mr. Dong Senior heard that Chen Qingmei was carrying a boy,

he readily agreed to the paternity test.

It'll take three days.

When you were at the nursing home,

were you with Cheng Yao the whole time?

Yes.

Are you sure you never left her?

No.

I guess.

I took a phone call

from a client.

It took less than a minute…

about two minutes, I guess.

I came right back after.

Is there any problem?

Bao Rui, let me remind you.

Later on, when you go out on assignment with colleagues,

don't split up casually.

If anything happens, you need to have each other's backs.

Boss, I know.

Every time we go out on the field,

you always worry about me.

Don't worry. I will be fine.

Is there anything else?

You can go now.

Okay.

Coming.

I had someone deliver a bunch of peonies to you.

Hope you like them.

Cheng Xi.

What's going on here?

Why are you so angry?

It's nothing.

What are you doing here?

Well,

you didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages.

So here I am, personally coming to apologize.

Wu Jun.

The two of us

shouldn't contact each other anymore.

Why? What did I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

The problem is with me.

What problem do you have?

Just tell me,

and let's solve it together.

It's Deng Ming.

He came to see me a couple of days ago.

Aren't you divorced already?

Did he cause you any trouble?

Tell me, and I'll warn him.

Wu Jun, stay out of this.

This is my business, and I don't want you to get involved.

Cheng Xi, did he threaten you again?

Cheng Xi, rest assured.

Don't be afraid. I am not afraid either.

If he really dares to come and oppose me,

he is definitely asking for trouble.

This isn't about

whether we are afraid or not.

It's about if you get close to me,

it won't do you any good.

He will threaten you.

If I were to be scared and back away because of this,

what would that make me?

Cheng Xi, rest assured, I take my responsibilities seriously.

What responsibilities?

We were at the hotel…

Speak clearly.

That day at the hotel, we…

What about the hotel?

Didn't we, you know, after I got drunk?

My memory is not clear, but…

well…

Nothing happened between us that day.

Your phone was out of battery.

So, I left you some money for a cab.

Then how come my clothes were all…

You vomited, your clothes were full of the smell.

So I took them off you.

That's all.

So, nothing happened?

It's fine. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't affect my feelings for you at all.

Why are you so stubborn?

Are you clingy candy?

How do you know I'm like clingy candy?

Right, I've always wanted

to stick around you.

You have a call.

I'm not taking it.

Miss Wang is looking for you.

[Qian Heng] It's Qian, Qian Heng.

Speak.

Come to the address I sent you. I need to ask you something.

I'm busy.

It's not Miss Wang.

Go ahead. It sounded important.

Okay, I'll go and see

what's going on with him.

I'll come to find you again in a couple of days.

Don't come looking for me again.

No, no. I'll just leave it here.

Come in.

What are you doing?

Isn't it obvious? I'm soaking my feet.

Could you get me a bucket of hot water? I want to warm up as well.

Okay

Did you get rejected again?

Is it that obvious?

From the sound of your voice,

it's hard not to imagine.

Gone, everything is gone, Qian.

Turns out all of it was a misunderstanding.

She was never interested in me

She also told me not to contact her anymore.

It's not the first time you've been rejected.

You should get used to it.

What do you know?

When she rejected me before,

we could still be good friends.

But this time, her rejection was very forceful.

Maybe you really don't have a chance this time.

Wait, Qian.

Someone sent her flowers.

Do you think there is

someone else

also pursuing her?

Isn't it hot?

Yes. It's a bit scalding hot.

- Could you add some cold water? Thanks. - Okay.

This is so hot.

Alright. Stop thinking about it.

You can't figure it out.

I can't give up either.

In my dictionary,

there are no such words as 'give up'.

I will conserve energy

and fight again tomorrow.

Wu.

I have a question for you.

I have a friend…

Is that the friend of yours who thinks he's the sun, the crazy one?

No, another friend.

This friend of mine

was scolded by a friend they thought was very important

for having no moral bottom line and only caring about money.

What do you think they should do

to reconcile with their friend?

That's quite simple.

Have your friend meet up more with the person,

show more concern for them,

and show up on time for them

when they need help.

Don't ask these easy questions.

Think about it yourself. I need to recharge.

Sir.

How do you feel?

Many guests have said

that the environment in our store

is especially relaxing

and particularly conducive to sleep.

I don't think so.

I think you should close for renovation.

Sir, don't be like that.

In what way did we make you unhappy?

Was it the water temperature or the herbs?

Did you go to particularly

high-end stores before?

Please feel free to make suggestions

so we can improve.

Alright.

It's not the right person.

Receptionist number three, Chen Qingmei.

It's your turn.

I'll go with her. Bao, watch the bags.

Okay.

That's really great.

Thank you, Miss Cheng.

How so?

Dong Shan and the child are indeed from the same paternal line.

The chain of evidence is complete.

We can prepare for the trial now.

Well done, Cheng Yao.

You've made a great contribution this time.

As long as we win, I assure you

that you will surpass Yu Fei

and become the Boss's

second-in-command.

I'm serious.

Let's take Miss Chen home first.

No, someone's picking me up.

Mei.

How are you? Are you tired?

I'm fine.

But Xie Ming,

you have no idea how much pressure

I have been under these past few days.

Everyone has been calling me a home wrecker and a vixen.

Even my own lawyers

haven't been nice to me.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

However, I'd like to clarify something for Mei.

She's had a hard life before,

so she mistook Dong Shan's kindness

for love.

And she didn't even know that Dong Shan was lying about being single.

I know Mei the best. She's too timid

to possibly do such a thing.

I hope you two won't be prejudiced against her

and help her wholeheartedly to get through this lawsuit.

Why? How could that be?

We are professional lawyers.

We will surely do our utmost

to fight for the client's rights.

Good. We'll take our leave then.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

If only I had met you sooner.

It's not late now.

Is this guy her…

That's slick.

She got the man and the money.

Who wouldn't be angry seeing this?

Luckily Boss wasn't watching,

otherwise, he'd be furious.

I'll be angry for him.

Maybe in this world,

people with no bottom lines

have better lives.

Let's go.

I can't believe the twists in this.

It's infuriating.

This place is so remote.

I can't get an Uber.

I've been calling for a long time but no one accepts the order.

What should we do then, walk back?

How nice is this?

How considerate?

Look, when we are handling cases outside,

Boss has always been concerned about us.

Of course, he's mainly concerned about me.

This place is so out of the way,

and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a car.

But Boss drove here.

Sometimes I really wonder, you know,

do I have some kind of telepathy with him?

It's amazing.

Boss.

You are the GOAT.

It was just on my way.

How could this remote place be on your way?

Then it must be really convenient.

Cheng Yao.

Do you feel like this ride is somewhat like

a care express line?

For you, right?

You can't say that.

You can only say he cares about me a bit more.

He's just sympathetic to his employees,

but he's too embarrassed to say it.

After all, he has a title.

But his actions and affection

deceive you, I understand.

Bao Rui.

If you say one more word,

I will, without stopping the car,

throw you out of the window.

He wouldn't dare. He's just kidding.

He is a lawyer, and he knows the law.

Throwing things out of a window is against the law.

This seat is made of real leather, right?

Boss.

I've already organized the evidence

for the case of Chen Qingmei

and sent it to your email.

I'm not sure if there's anything I need to modify.

I've looked at it on the way here.

The evidence is well-prepared.

You have been very thoughtful. Good job.

Thank you, Boss.

I simply followed your instructions

and made modifications.

Boss, where are you going?

If it's not convenient for you, you can drop me off.

I'm going back to the law firm.

Isn't the law firm in the opposite direction of Bao Rui's home?

I just remembered

that I left a very important document

at the law firm.

Boss.

How have you been sleeping these past two days?

Very well.

Deep sleep every night.

That's good.

Moreover, taking a gender verification in Hong Kong

requires the identity information of both parents.

and individual signatures.

We have obtained relevant evidence in Hong Kong,

forming an evidence chain as corroborating proof.

We believe that…

The verdict will be announced now,

All rise.

The court rules as follows:

It is determined that the fetus in Chen Qingmei's womb

is related to Dong Shan by blood.

When dividing Dong Shan's estate,

the fetus's right to inheritance

should be preserved.

If you do not accept this verdict,

you may,

within fifteen days of the delivery of the verdict, submit an appeal to this court

and provide copies according to the number of parties involved on the other side.

Appeals are to be made

to the Intermediate People's Court, Jiang City.

The court is now adjourned.

Bao, I'm going out for some air.

Go ahead.

Pack up the things.

I got it.

Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian.

Thank you so much for your help.

If it weren't for you,

I might not have won the lawsuit.

If you have time,

may I invite you for a meal?

I don't think that's necessary.

Let's just commemorate Dong Shan together.

Is that too much to ask?

I'm sorry. My work here is finished.

I will send you

the attorney fee bill.

Grandpa, how do you sleep at night?

How much has Mom sacrificed for this family?

When you were sick, she looked after you.

Yet now, you recognize some boy as your grandson.

Min, he's not just some boy.

He's your biological brother.

Grandpa is worried your father will have no descendants

and no one to carry on the family business.

It would be a waste of the family estate.

In the future, it will still rely heavily on you.

Without descendants?

Am I not your granddaughter?

Fine, starting today,

you're no longer my grandpa.

From now on, the Dong family has nothing to do with me.

And you have nothing to do with me either.

- You silly girl. - If you want to hit me, go ahead!

Min, what are you doing?

Father, I'm sorry.

Quickly, push Grandpa away.

He's your grandpa.

Mom.

What are you doing?

Thank you, Miss Cheng.

Does any of you lawyers have a conscience?

Protecting the mistress

and not the marriage.

I thought we were friends.

Min.

Miss Dong.

Being a lawyer is just a profession.

Whose side we are on is not a personal stance.

The win or loss of a case

is not an excuse for you to insult my staff.

Min.

Don't blame Mr. Qian and the others.

If anything, it's my fault.

I was careless.

If only I had been more vigilant,

things wouldn't have

ended in this way.

I misjudged human nature.

I misjudged familial affection.

Remember this day.

Remember the outcome of today.

This is also an important lesson

in your life.

You will grow up one day.

Mom can't be with you forever.

Alright, let's go home.

Let's go.

Are you injured?

No.

Really, it's nothing.
