[My Boss]

[Episode 27]

Cheng Yao, happy birthday to you.

My brother-in-law.

Ex-brother-in-law.

Wipe your hands.

I'm telling you, stop clinging to me.

If you keep pestering me, I won't be polite to you in court.

Yes, I just thought it over.

My behavior was indeed out of line.

Sorry about that.

I bought two bottles of drinks.

Black tea and coffee.

Not knowing which one you'd prefer, I bought both.

To offer you my apologies.

I'll take the coffee. I don't drink black tea.

You take both.

You'll surely be thirsty since you can't drink them inside.

I also have some small biscuits and compressed bread.

Remember to drink them when you come out.

[First Court The next case Confirmation of paternity dispute]

The court hereby decrees as follows:

The evidence submitted by the plaintiff, Lin Fengjuan,

is insufficient to prove that her son

shares a parental relationship

with the defendant, Lu Jian.

Lin Fengjuan's lawsuit claim

lacks the necessary evidential support

and legal basis.

The court rejects it.

If you do not accept this judgment,

you may,

within fifteen days of the delivery of the judgment,

submit an appeal to this court

and provide copies according to the number

of the opposing parties

to appeal to the Jiang City

Intermediate People's Court.

The court is now adjourned.

Mr. Lu, congratulations.

Mr. Deng, you're incredible.

It's what I should do.

It's okay.

How about it, Mr. Lu?

I did what I said, didn't I?

Mr. Deng,

you're incredible.

Right, I've already booked the celebration banquet.

Please grace us with your presence.

Okay, then let's not drink beverages.

You are so thoughtful.

If you haven't eaten,

let's have the celebration meal together.

Ms. Lin,

as long as the information you provide is true,

we still have a great chance of winning the second trial.

Second trial?

Mr. Deng,

do you usually prefer to drink white or red?

We will have the new piece of evidence

of paternity test soon.

Mr. Deng, what's the matter?

Cheng Yao, you set me up, didn't you?

How can you call that setting you up?

Everything the party did was voluntary.

No one was coerced.

Is there a problem with me obtaining evidence legally and properly?

Obtaining evidence?

Stop joking, okay?

This is a court.

With so many people coming and going.

How can you be sure

that this bottle of beverage was consumed by my client?

Yes,

this is a court.

There are cameras everywhere.

The evidence has been clearly captured.

What you should be concerned about now is,

if between Lu Jian and Hanhan,

a real parent-child relationship does exist,

how will you explain anorchia?

Also, I remind you,

falsifying evidence carries criminal liability.

By then, we won't be in this court anymore.

Miss Cheng,

the paternity test report will come out in about a week.

We'll call you then.

Thank you for your hard work.

Mr. Deng, this…

What are you doing?

I haven't finished my drink yet.

This is my stuff.

Why can't I have my stuff?

This is my stuff, and I haven't finished it yet.

Sir, please calm down.

This is my stuff.

I haven't finished my drink yet.

Ms. Lin,

calm down a bit.

Lin Fengjuan.

Lu Jian.

This is the court.

This slap

was for Hanhan and myself.

The law is just.

The law will not let someone as shameful as you off.

Alright, Lin Fengjuan,

you just wait.

Miss Cheng, we'll be going now.

Thank you for your hard work.

Cheng Yao, you're really something.

Yes.

This time, you've outsmarted me.

But don't think that just because you've beaten me once,

you can rest easy.

There are still long days ahead.

We'll see.

Alright, my brother-in-law.

I will be waiting.

Waiting for the day when your true face is revealed to all.

Are you alright?

Yaoyao.

Xi.

How is it? Are you okay from earlier?

I'm fine.

Congratulations.

It's not time for congratulations yet.

Deng Ming will probably shift all the blame onto the party involved.

Just don't think too much about it.

Winning the case is the most important.

Well,

sorry about earlier.

I was afraid Deng Ming would spot the flaw.

That's why I didn't tell you in advance.

You don't need to apologize to me.

Miss Cheng,

I should be the one thanking you.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

Thank you for saving my child.

Ms. Lin, please don't do this.

These are all things I should do.

Now that I took your case,

I have to be responsible for you.

We've only obtained the evidence.

We still have to see the final result.

Still, we must believe in the law.

The law will protect the basic rights of every citizen.

Mr. Wu, Xi,

I still need to prepare for the second trial.

I have to submit some materials.

Please help me escort Ms. Lin.

Don't worry, go ahead with your work.

Go back and rest early.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you, Miss Cheng and Mr. Wu.

- Take it slow. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You're not happy?

Not at all.

You've never been like this before,

showing me a frown.

I'm not giving you a frown right now.

It's just that I find Deng Ming unpleasant.

I feel indignant on your behalf.

He used to sling mud at you.

How could you forgive him?

I've let him off before

not because I was soft-hearted.

I just wanted this person

to disappear from my life quickly.

Let's not talk about him, shall we?

I just want to be with you properly now.

What did you say that person's name was?

Deng Ming.

Don't mention such an inauspicious name again.

Tell Cheng Yao

not to blindly call someone else brother-in-law.

Her brother-in-law can only be me.

Otherwise, I'll dock her pay.

I know, you're so petty. Let's get going.

How come you're back?

You've finished the work?

I handed my work over to Bao Rui.

Yaoyao,

don't be sad.

It's just losing a case, no big deal.

You don't have to act tough in front of me.

If you want to cry, just let it out.

I'm here with you.

I didn't expect to lose so badly either.

I'm sorry, I let you down.

It's really okay.

You have to lose to win, right?

Wait for me a moment.

Hello.

Okay, I'm coming over now.

Are you busy with work?

Go ahead, you don't need to keep me company.

No, it's our turn at the restaurant.

Let's go, get in the car.

Yaoyao, do you want to know

what kind of experiences I had

this time I went out to work on a joint case?

What experience did you have?

The client in this case

had a lover for over ten years.

I only recently found out

that his wife also had a lover.

Isn't that quite common?

This lover of his wife

is the biological brother of her husband's lover.

Impressive, right?

It's such a mess?

I have another case.

The case goes like this.

In a reconstituted family,

each side has a child with their ex-partners.

Those children started dating each other secretly.

The wildest part is

the parents,

for the sake of their two children,

decided to get divorced.

But when it finally came to the point of divorce,

the daughter of the mother discovered

that the son of the father was cheating.

So, did they get divorced?

They absolutely must.

Because the person the son cheated with

is the woman's close friend for many years.

She is more than twenty years his senior.

I can tell you're just making up stories to fool me.

Lin Fengjuan's case isn't over yet.

I'm confident about the second trial.

I lost the first trial on purpose.

So you really don't need to comfort me.

You're teasing me, aren't you?

You had such a strong desire to perform.

I had to give you a stage.

Yaoyao, if you dare to tease me again, let me tell you…

What will you do?

I…

If I really win this case,

will you

give me a little reward?

What do you want?

What do I want?

You see,

other couples all have matching rings.

I want them too.

Well…

Those…

But we can't wear them at the law firm, right?

How about this?

A couple's necklace.

Is a couple's necklace okay?

It can't be seen if it's hidden under the clothes.

I want them.

Yaoyao,

why would a big guy like me wear a couple's necklace?

Don't you think I would be like a dog with a name tag?

No, no.

I didn't mean you were a dog.

What I mean is,

you don't what materials

these couple's necklaces on the market are made of.

What if you wear it

and get metal poisoning or a skin allergy?

Let's choose something else.

Then do the cooking.

Cooking is okay, right?

Making porridge is fine too.

I used to cook for you.

Cooking…

Well…

Okay, how could your hands possibly cook?

They are so precious,

aren't they?

Well, not exactly.

Then sing.

Singing love songs is also very romantic.

I don't know what's been going on with me recently.

My throat is a bit,

a bit uncomfortable.

Singing love songs

is something a child could do.

I really can't do it.

I've thought of something.

I've thought of something you'll definitely like.

I'll give you

a recitation of laws.

Which laws would you like to hear?

I suddenly feel

that helping a client win a case

is part of my job.

There's no need for any reward.

Right?

Come on, let's eat.

My throat is indeed

a little uncomfortable today.

Did you come back early

without having proper meals and sleep?

Yes.

I can't eat or sleep well when I'm out.

Then don't fly back and forth next time.

It will upset me.

Really?

Well,

may I ask you for a reward?

What reward?

Many times before,

it was either interrupted by Bao Rui

or there was an accident.

This time, can we…?

♫ Your eyes throw me off balance ♫

♫ I can't help but be touched ♫

♫ At the crucial moment when fate collapsed ♫

Finally kissed.

♫ The world hasn't changed ♫

♫ Yet it's different now ♫

♫ Now with you ♫

♫ I will softly say ♫

♫ Love you ♫

♫ Love you ♫

♫ Love you ♫

Coming.

Hello, your delivery.

Thank you.

You bought this?

Why suddenly buy flowers and champagne?

To celebrate your first time appearing in court independently.

Besides…

What else is there?

Also happy about the reward you gave.

Why do I

suddenly have a stomachache?

I'll take you to the hospital.

Come on.

It's just acute gastroenteritis, not very serious.

After finishing this IV drip,

just take some medicine and you'll be fine.

Try to rest in bed as much as possible.

Drink more electrolyte beverages

to prevent dehydration.

In the following half month,

it's best to eat lighter food.

It's best to have some liquid food

or semi-liquid things.

Okay.

Mr. Qian, come to me if you need anything.

Thank you, Dr. Liu.

The doctor said it was nothing serious.

To me, there's no such thing as a trivial matter for you.

You seem to know the doctor well.

Dr. Liu?

He's a gastroenterology expert.

I always went to him when I had stomach discomfort in the past.

If only I had met you sooner,

I would definitely have helped you get your stomach in order.

It's not too late now.

Alright, have a sleep for a while.

I'll call you after the IV is finished later.

But I can't sleep right now.

Maybe you can sing for me.

Just kidding.

I know you can't sing.

I, I tried, I did my best.

Miss Cheng,

how come you didn't tell me about your hospitalization?

If it weren't for Dr. Liu calling me,

I would have no idea what was happening.

Was it you?

Did you take Miss Cheng to eat messy things?

It's one thing for your own stomach to be ruined,

but to cause trouble for Miss…

Sorry, I'm so sorry.

You caused trouble for Miss Cheng.

Is that any way to behave?

My dad owns some shares in this private hospital.

So Dr. Liu is sort of like our family doctor.

- Miss Cheng. - Auntie.

You've been hospitalized.

How do I explain this to your parents?

Right, if you want to eat or drink anything,

tell me.

I will have someone cook it for you.

No, I will cook it for you personally.

Mom, don't.

She, she can't take it.

No, I mean

the doctor asked her to eat liquid food.

Do you need to tell me this?

Do you need to teach me? Don't I know it?

Liquid food

needs to be categorized. Right?

You think it's like you.

Just haphazardly putting together three meals a day.

Really.

Did you fall ill

because you were taking care of him?

No, Auntie.

It's my own gluttony, not Qian Heng's fault.

How can you not blame him? Blame him entirely, just blame him.

What kind of boyfriend is you?

Do you know how to take care of someone?

Must blame him.

I've asked Dr. Liu.

He said a several-day rest would suffice.

No need to worry.

You get some good rest.

I'm still not at ease.

I'm going to have a meeting with the doctor.

Mom, don't.

Have a rest.

Don't feel pressured. She's always like this.

No.

I just think

Auntie is so adorable.

How come her son turned out to be different?

When I was little,

I had the same question.

So I took a strand of my mom's hair

to do a paternity test.

And then?

And then

I was scolded

and beaten by both of them.

What's the situation?

[The secret to cooking porridge that the family loves has only three key points]

You've added too little water.

At this rate, it's going to turn into rice.

How come you got up?

Go back and lie down.

There's really too little water.

Okay, I know.

Water.

It's ready.

Let me do it.

Come on, be careful, it's hot.

Is it hot?

It's sweet.

Because you are sick,

there must be no taste in your mouth.

So I added sugar and red dates for you.

Take another bite.

Does it taste good?

Take another bite.

Didn't expect dating to be this sweet.

I wonder if being sick has made you confused.

I always thought that those

male-dominated and female-submissive plots were outdated.

But unexpectedly,

being taken care of after falling sick

is quite blissful.

You're blushing.

How could I be?

I will be even better to you in the future.

Okay.

Who is it?

Seafood porridge.

Clear stewed fish maw soup.

Sliced fish fillet.

Braised baby cabbage with dried scallops.

I specially cooked all of these for you.

I cooked them myself.

Thank you, Auntie.

Come on, have a taste.

See if they suit your taste, come on.

But I just ate.

I can't eat any more right now.

You've already eaten?

Yes, Mom, I cooked it for her.

You cooked it?

I have to check it out.

This is what you call porridge?

Just those several red dates.

So stingy.

Qian Heng,

do you live up to your surname?

I…

Our house just happens to be short on red dates recently.

Don't explain for him.

I tell you, the Qian family men are just like this.

Give them an inch and they will take a mile.

You must not be softhearted.

Otherwise, it's easy for them to get a hold on you, you know?

Alright, Mom.

It's about time for you to go back.

I'm free.

I have plenty of time.

I want to take care of Miss Cheng.

Yes, you're free.

She needs to rest, though.

I see.

Right, you need to rest.

Okay then, I will leave first.

Remember to heat them up when you want to eat.

If it's too salty or too bland, just let me know.

Alright, Mom, please go back quickly.

- Alright, alright. - You still have to go back to accompany Dad.

Go on, go on.

Don't rush me, I'm putting on my shoes.

I know, I know.

- Miss Cheng. - Alright, alright.

I'll be waiting for your call.

- Okay. - Mom, hurry back and be careful on the road.

- Make sure you rest. - Go on, go on.

- Take good care of her. - I know, I know.

Goodbye.

Why are you in such a hurry to send Auntie away?

What do you think?

I'm going back to my room to rest.

Why are you running so fast?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking

what you are thinking.

Is that so?

I just want to work here.

That's what I was thinking too.

What a coincidence!

Then I'll just work here.

Remember not to peek at me.

Work seriously.

It's not certain who will peek at whom.

You should also remember.

Don't sneak a glance at me.

This is the first time my boyfriend has cooked breakfast for me.

I can't dampen his enthusiasm.

I must pretend not to see anything.

No matter what it looks like,

I have to praise it, try hard to praise.

Good morning.

You're up.

So many dishes.

How's your stomach?

Much better.

You've come at just the right time.

Quick, try it while it's hot.

What is this?

It's the spinach noodles I cooked.

Why do they look like caterpillars?

Really? Try it, eat it while it's hot.

These pan-fried dumplings look good.

The skin is crispy and there's lots of filling.

Tasty.

This, this is the takeout I ordered.

You, you try this, really.

I cooked this with my own hands. Eat it while it's hot.

Otherwise, it won't taste good once it gets cold.

Give it a try.

This is also really tasty.

Yaoyao, everything on this table except for this

is takeout I've ordered.

Really, give it a try.

I've been learning for a long time. I cooked it.

I think it should be fine.

Try it, quick, while it's hot.

Taste it.

You need to compliment and encourage.

Delicious, delicious.

Then, then…

I'm going to be late for work.

I'm off to work now.

In such a hurry?

Then you'll miss out on a treat.

Wu Jun.

Yiran.

What a coincidence running into you here.

Not really a coincidence.

I heard you had finished with that case.

I've come here specially to see you.

My senior, you're such a busy person.

You wouldn't come to see me without a reason, would you?

Here to poach.

Are you interested in Junheng?

Now that you've said it, how can I not be interested?

Well,

currently, Junheng,

in the domestic affairs field,

lacks a female partner.

After much thought, you're suitable.

I'm doing fairly well at my current law firm.

But Junheng is an industry pioneer

in the domestic affairs field.

I've always admired it.

It is also my honor to work with you.

Well,

you are extending an olive branch to me.

Does the "Heng" in Junheng agree?

I know he always has high requirements.

I am able to invite you.

For sure, I have discussed it with Qian Heng.

Moreover, Mr. Qian especially recognizes your professional abilities.

Job-hopping is not a trivial matter.

I can't make a decision

right away.

Well, please give me more time to think about it.

No rush at all, waiting for your good news anytime.

Okay.

Were you very excited to receive the banner?

I didn't expect Lin Fengjuan to send me a banner.

You have put so much effort into her case.

You've also organized a donation for her child at the firm.

You deserve this banner.

Cheng Yao, this is one small step for you.

But it is one big step for our Glory and Wealth team.

Here, please allow me, on behalf of the boss,

to thank you for your contribution

to Junheng's future Golden Scales Award.

Thousands of thanks

are not as meaningful as receiving a banner oneself.

Right, Bao Rui?

This joke is very Bao Rui.

Alright, everyone.

At today's regular meeting,

I would like to give special praise to Cheng Yao.

Cheng Yao has made great progress since joining our law firm.

Today, she received her first banner.

Congratulations, Cheng Yao.

Okay.

I have sent all the cases to the partners' emails.

Partners will assign them on their own.

Cheng Yao,

in light of your outstanding previous performance,

you will handle the family trust dispute for Taicheng Group.

Okay.

Let's start.

Alright, that's it for today.

The team-building event is coming up. I hope everyone can have fun.

Meeting adjourned.

Cheng Yao, in wealth, do not forget me.

Cheng Yao,

it's the first time I've heard Boss compliment someone like this in the meeting room.

Awesome.

Really.

The boss really values that.

But

the boss's favorite person is still me.

Why did we choose

- to do team building domestically? - Why?

Because the boss knows

that I'm tired of going abroad.

The boss is so attentive.

I'm the one on the tip of the boss' heart.

If you put it that way,

the boss' heart must be a durian.

How so?

Lots of spikes.

Poking you, Yu Fei.

Poking you.

I've been too busy with the child lately.

I haven't had the chance to properly thank you.

Although we are so close,

I sincerely

thank you very much

for keeping the house for me.

Hello.

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

I heard from someone I know

that Zhang Hao and Liang Qiongqiong

had sworn that they would definitely get the house.

But now

the duck that was ready to be served has flown away.

The two of them often argue about this.

Liang Qiongqiong's parents

went to find trouble with Zhang Hao,

accusing him of marriage fraud

and demanding compensation from him.

Ms. Cheng Yao,

are you listening to me?

Tingting, I want to do spa.

For the whole body, right now.

Spa?

Cheng Yao, something's not right with you.

I've never seen you so concerned about skincare and maintenance.

Tell me, is it because of Qian Heng?

No.

It's because I'm going on a trip in a few days.

So I thought…

My goodness, great.

You've come to your senses.

Law firm team building, lots of people.

What's the difference?

Anyway, he is your boss.

To create a world for just the two of you

is something easy to do for him.

It's right for you to come for a spa treatment.

It's the first time, after all.

You must leave a good impression.

Though I didn't expect that.

Well,

you two have been living together for such a long time,

but nothing has happened between you.

That's just too innocent.

That's because we're usually quite busy.

We have no time. What are you talking about?

Haven't you heard a saying?

Time is like the water in a sponge.

Squeeze it and there will always be some.

You have to buck up.

You need not only to have the desire

but also the courage to act.

Don't talk nonsense.

What I'm saying is all practical advice.

Anyways, traveling is the best way to enhance feelings.

In a place with such beautiful scenery,

under the backdrop of the setting sun,

the atmosphere just builds up instantly.

Then add a bit of sweet and delicious alcohol.

The two exchange glances.

Go to the supermarket now?

I'm with Mengting right now.

I'm leaving right now.

I won't disturb your world for two.

Where else would you find such a good bestie like me?

Enjoy yourselves.

See you in a bit.

Buy some face masks.

We don't need face masks, do we?

Then, buy some sunscreen.

Okay.

Get a spray, too.

So we can reapply at any time.

Let's also buy some portable personal care products.

Sure.

If you're undecided,

why not get one of each?

We can't use

that many.

True, let's get one.

This one will do.

Buy some snacks.
