All language subtitles for Divorce Lawyers Episode 02

I love being a lawyer.

I don't know what it's like to lose
a case because it's never happened.

In short, I like to win.

I thought that's the way
my life would always be

until my marriage derailed one day.

I then came to a painful realization

that my life must
change somehow.

When I first arrived in this city

I was very ambitious.

From my perspective

the future was mine,
and I was the future.

When I lost both my relationship and
my career overnight

I suddenly realized

that destiny has always been
in God's control.

I'm still suffering from shock.

Love, can I still trust in you?

Marriage, just go to hell.

You're so cruel, how can you leave
so suddenly?

I can't believe you're taking maternity
leave when you're only one month pregnant.

How can you do this to me?

It's not maternity leave, I'm resigning.

You're so cruel.

Don't worry, I'll always be your
best business partner.

I'll support you emotionally.

Good luck.

You're an outstanding law student.

But you're actually choosing
to become a housewife?

What a pity.

I'm not a housewife.
I'm a full-time wife.

Who cares? It's the same thing.

Luo Li.

You just haven't met the right guy yet.

One day, if you meet a man

who tells you

'There's only one thing that you'll need
to do from now on.'

'I won't ask you to go to work and
earn money.'

'Simply be a good wife to me.'

- Then you'd resign, too.
- How can you believe such bullshit?

Just wait until you become
a nagging housewife.

See if he says the same thing then.

- You're just jealous.
- Yes, absolutely.

- It's your cousin.
- Take it.

- Hi, Yan Yan.
- Hi, Luo Li.

I keep calling Chi Hai Dong but he
won't pick up.

So why did you call him?

Hai Dong used to tell me

that he'd always be there
whenever I needed him.

But he's not even answering my calls now.

Luo Li, what should I do?

Maybe he's worried that you'll record
your conversation.

It's okay, you can tell me.

Since I'm your lawyer, I can talk to
him for you.

Whenever I think about my future

I feel really scared.

Luo Li.

I really love him a lot.

I don't want to get divorced.

I really want to go back
to my life before.

When I miss him now

I go and read the messages that he
sent me before.

I don't want to get divorced, Luo Li.

Please help me.

- I can't sleep at night.
- It's a good education.

- You're fully responsible for this case.
- She's your cousin, listen to her.

Then I wake up at six o'clock.

I feel so insecure.

Luo Li, how can I go on?

[Luo Li Law Firm]

Luo Li, are you listening to me?

Yan Yan, don't be so upset.

Why don't I go to your place later and
have a chat with you?

- All right.
- Okay, see you soon, bye.

My phone ran out of battery again.

Tang Mei Yu, you must let me claim
my phone expenses.

Who'll pay for my phone expenses?

She also talks nonstop when she calls me.

But you still haven't
learned your lesson.

What lesson?

Jiao Yan Yan's a perfect example.

Why did she become a full-time wife?

Because of Chi Hai Dong's
romantic sweet talk back in the day.

And now? Divorce.

She never earned a cent before
or after her marriage.

She doesn't even know how much
money he has.

He can just give her whatever he wants.

What's the use of crying now?

It's too late.

Look at this.

Cao Qian Kuen drafted this prenuptial
agreement for me.

He said, if he ever breaks our agreement

then he'll give up everything.

All his assets, whether from before or
after our marriage will belong to me.

Cao Qian Kuen has finally gained
some respect from me.

It's true love indeed.

Quickly, go and have this
notarized in court.

You're always such a suspicious lawyer.

To me, having it notarized
isn't so important.

As long as he's serious
about our relationship

then I'm already happy.

As a woman, if you can find a good husband

then you can have everything.

You won't have to work so hard.

- Let me introduce you to someone?
- Forget it.

Look at the man you've found for
Jiao Yan Yan.

It wasn't me, it was Cao Qian Kuen.

Why did he introduce someone like him
to your cousin?

Don't say that.

He's also considered to be tall, rich
and handsome.

Oh yeah, I need a favor from you.

Is it good or bad?

It's a happy favor.

Will you be my bridesmaid?

Sure.

You'll give me a red envelope
for it, right?

No, you'll have to pay for your share.

To hell with such a rotten custom.

[Congratulations]

You're really getting married?

Are you sure?

I might as well end my bachelor life.

Then you'd better be prepared for it.

You're giving me advice?

Let's talk about you.

Why?

Different personalities, so it's put
a strain on our relationship.

It's a bit late to say you have different
personalities now, isn't it?

Remember, it was me who introduced
you two in the first place?

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

Well...

if it's not meant to be

then we might as well end it early, right?

If we drag it out for a few more years

then it wouldn't be fair to her.

Darling, eat something.

Here.

Eat some.

- You can't starve yourself.
- I don't feel like eating.

So did he...

mention us again?

He hates to lose face.

So I guess he'll never ask you.

Like we said before, just don't admit it.

Just say I came to fix your computer.

There weren't any videos anyway,
don't worry.

But his assistant also saw us that day.

So what? They don't have any proof.

I can even say he falsely accused us.

We can say he wants to dump you
for another woman.

So he's asked his assistant to be his
false witness.

Darling, make sure we don't call or
message each other now.

We must only talk face-to-face.

Maybe we shouldn't even see each other.

What if people see us together?

But we're innocent.

So what if they see us?

Since you're all alone and in trouble

if your husband doesn't care about you

then what's wrong with me coming
to see you as your friend?

Make sure you ask your lawyer to
target Chi Hai Dong's weaknesses.

Dignity is very important to him.

So he'd rather admit
he's got another woman

than admit that his wife has cheated
with another man.

Yan Yan's been acting like a ghost
every night.

She'll cry and cry

and then call Mei Yu
once she finishes crying.

Why are you doing this?

I wasn't going to bring this to court.

We used to be married after all.

I don't want to have a nasty ending.

But she found this bitchy lawyer.

I couldn't stand her, so I said
I'd see her in court.

Fine, then I guess you can challenge
her when you see her in court.

Don't be too confident though.

You know her?

Listen, you're a renowned lawyer.

Our company pays you a high fee to be
our legal consultant.

If you take your family matters
to court what will people think?

Even if you win, it's your wife.

But would you want to lose?

Hey, is it really that bad?
Just talk it out.

Do you know what happened?

How would I know?

No matter what it is

my principle is don't make
a big deal out of nothing.

Right?

One more round.

Try one, it's good.

You're driving.

- Come on, cheers.
- No...

- I'll drive, you drink.
- Come on, cheers.

[Congratulations]

Chi Hai Dong's already taken our case
to court.

How do we know what the judge's decision
is going to be?

In the end...

I might lose everything.

- What should I do then?
- See? You're regretting it now.

But when Chi Hai Dong put the divorce
settlement in front of you

it was you who wouldn't sign it.

You said you can't bare to leave him.

- I can't bare to leave him.
- But he wants to leave you.

What are you thinking?

So you like Chi Hai Dong's money while
you like my body?

Yue Qun, how can you say that?

Get out, get out of my house!

Yan Yan.

I'm just trying to help you.

Look at your life now.

I really can't afford to give you such
a life right now.

How are you supposed to survive
without money, Yan Yan?

I'll survive.

I can find a job
and earn money for myself.

Don't be so naive.

Do you know how much someone with a
doctorate degree earns nowadays?

It's not even enough for you to buy
two handbags.

Yan Yan.

Let me ask you.

Are you willing to catch the bus or
train to work?

What about late night and early
morning shifts?

Even if you're willing
to do all that, Yan Yan

in no time, you'll look like an auntie.

All aunties have been young once, too.

A woman's beauty is very vulnerable.

I'm not trying to persuade you to get
money from your divorce.

I'm just concerned about your future.

Bro.

You're finally home.

Good.

What are they doing?

What the hell, Bro!

Who do you think you're kissing,
you bastard.

Let me call someone.

I must teach him a good lesson.

You bastard.

Honey, what are you doing?

Where are you?

Are you home by yourself?

Okay, I love you, bye.

Bro, take me home first.

I don't want to leave
my fiancee home alone.

You're back.

Are you drunk?

I already told you not to drink so much.

Drinking is not good for you.

I didn't drink much.

Let's take off your shoes first.

Careful, don't fall over.

Stand properly.

Let's sit you down first.

Say you love me.

- You're drunk.
- Say you love me.

How can I not love you?

Even though my family
is against our marriage

I still insisted on marrying you.

So, of course I love you.

All right, let's not stand here.

You can barely stand, come sit down.

Slowly.

- You're so naughty.
- No, I'm not.

Where did you go?

Sit down...

I'll get you some water.

Sit down.

- You want to know a secret?
- What secret?

When I took Hai Dong home today...

when I got to his door

I saw your cousin there

with a guy, a guy that I don't know.

He's not bad-looking.

But you know what happened then?

They hugged each other.

- Stop kidding.
- It's true.

Hey, can you talk to Hai Dong if
you have time?

I think it's his fault
for caring about my cousin.

Look at Yan Yan now.

He can't just switch her off like a TV
now that he is sick of her.

It's true. They were hugging each other.

You're drunk. Stop sticking up for him.

- I'm not drunk.
- You are.

If you keep spreading rumors about my
cousin then I won't marry you.

All right, I'm drunk...

Okay, I know you love me...

I won't say it again, okay?

Who cares about them?

What matters most is the two of us.

Give me a hug.

If you're going with your friends then
I won't tag along.

Will you be back in time for
this weekend's ballet performance?

For sure.

Since it's my dear wife's one and only
elegant hobby

I must fulfill it.

Yan Yan, that's enough.

You've been listening to it all night.

It won't do you any good at all.

We're going to court soon.

So we better have a good talk.

Just let me listen to it
for a bit longer.

Since I can't have him any more.

I can only listen to his voice now.

Now I finally realize

how much I actually love him.

Make sure you behave yourself,
do you hear me?

Don't worry.

You can punish me if I lay my eyes
on another woman.

I'll do whatever you say.

Then I put my full trust in you.

Hang on, hang on...

Make sure you behave yourself,
do you hear me?

Don't worry.

You can punish me if I lay my eyes
on another woman.

I'll do whatever you say.

Then I put my full trust in you.

Yan Yan, listen.

Yan Yan.

Listen to me carefully.

The gentle and caring Chi Hai Dong
on the phone was real.

But the Chi Hai Dong who's insisting on
getting divorced is also real.

You must face reality.

Women divorce so that they can leave
a man who doesn't deserved to be loved.

We won't lose, he will.

Because he'll lose a woman who loves him.

You won't meet the right person unless
you leave the wrong person.

You must be strong.

How can I be strong?

If I leave him

I might lose everything.

This house, the car, they were all his
assets before we got married.

If I had agreed to sign the divorce
settlement before

I might still have gotten a house.

But now

the judge might not give me anything.

Why is my life so harsh?

Why are men so cruel to us?

Don't worry, Yan Yan.

We'll definitely win this case.

How can you be so confident?

Because I've never lost before.

Luo Li.

Chi Hai Dong's never lost before either.

That's because he has
never been up against me.

[Copying 384 items from phone to

Chi Hai Dong.

- Hello?
- Attorney Chi.

Are you free today?

I want to have a talk with you.

Hello?

[The number you've dialed
is currently unavailable.]

How dare you.

Make sure you get the visitor record right.

Master Chi got really upset with
his last visitor.

Okay.

All visitors must sign it.

Okay.

- Hi.
- Hello, do you have an appointment?

I need to see Attorney Chi.

Hello, I'm Pan Xiao Gang.

I'm Chi Hai Dong's assistant.

Lisa, I'm Lisa.

He knows me.

Then let me show you to his meeting room.

This way, please.

She hasn't signed in yet.

Please.

I'll give Master Chi a call.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Master Chi.

A beautiful lady named Lisa
is here to see you.

She said you're expecting her.

Lisa from the Copyright Administration?

I'm not sure, you want to talk to her?

- It's okay, I'm already here.
- Okay...

He's here, have a seat.

No, thanks, I'm happy to stand.

Lisa.

Attorney Chi, hello again.

Xiao Gang, she's Luo Li.

She's Jiao Yan Yan's lawyer.

He's my assistant, Pan Xiao Gang.
You can just talk to him.

Attorney Chi...

We're going to court tomorrow,
can we talk one last time?

Marriage is not a joke.

Consider it a chance for your wife

as well as for yourself.

As well as a chance for a young
lawyer like you.

Talk to my assistant.
I need to go to the bathroom.

Talk to me...

Hey, Attorney Luo.

I think you better wait
outside, Attorney Luo.

- I need to go to the toilet.
- Let's talk first.

- This is a men's toilet.
- I know.

That means people who are allowed in here
must either be men or transvestites.

- Excuse me.
- Sorry, go for another pee.

Are you actually a lawyer or not?

He could have sued you for violating
his rights, do you know that?

Based on your
inappropriate comment to me

I could also sue you
for ruining my reputation.

Based on your behavior right now

every man here can sue you for
sexual harassment.

Based on your uncaring attitude toward your
wife, she can sue you for emotional abuse.

- We're going through divorce right now.
- Divorce?

As an experienced and cunning lawyer

you gave a young girl a world of
romantic promises a few years ago.

You made her marry you
at the peak of her youth

and look after you as your full-time wife.

She thought she could live happily
ever after with you.

But now you suddenly tell her,
'It's all over.'

'Get the hell out of my
life.' You want a divorce.

As a lawyer since almost all your major
assets were bought prior to your marriage

you thought you could waste her youth
without suffering any financial losses.

If we consider marriage a contract then
you could be sued for contract fraud.

Because if a beautiful young girl
had known that her marriage with you

would only last for two years,
then why would she marry you?

She only did so because you promised
her a lifetime of happiness.

Are you Chinese?

Men and women are equal in China.

Men also have youth.

Which law actually says the man must
pay the women

a compensation fee when they divorce?

People get in and out of relationships just
like people go in and out of the toilet.

My wife's a full-time wife because she
doesn't want to work.

I didn't force her at all.

- You don't even know what happened...
- Shut up!

- What do you want?
- I want to talk to you.

Okay, so do you want to talk
in the toilet or in my office?

I'll wait for you in your office.

- Show her to my office.
- See you soon.

- Have some water.
- Thank you.

As you were saying

what actually happened?

Don't worry, I don't have a big mouth.

Sit down.

I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone.

Of course.

How well do you know Jiao Yan Yan?

The reason why my boss bought his house
and car before they got married

wasn't because he's cunning.

It was all Jiao Yan Yan's idea.

She's a very materialistic woman.

All her ex-boyfriends got dumped by her
because they weren't rich enough.

She only picked men who were rich.

The richer he was,
the more she'd love him.

That's it?

- So that's the big dark secret?
- Yeah.

How do you know Jiao Yan Yan so well?

Did Attorney Chi tell you?

Why would my boss say something
like that to me?

I knew Jiao Yan Yan before my boss did.

Then why didn't you stop Attorney Chi?

How could I stop him?

Once a man has an adrenalin rush

then down goes his intelligence.

As soon as he saw such a pretty face
and great body

a house and car
didn't mean a thing to him.

In that case, how could you complain
that women are too materialistic?

I guess you really don't
know men that well.

A man would never complain that a
woman's too materialistic.

The more materialistic a woman is,
the easier it is to satisfy her.

Why is Attorney Chi
taking so long in the toilet?

Yes, my boss usually takes
a while in the toilet.

He likes to think over important cases
while he sits on the toilet.

Then I better wait for him
in the men's room.

I really don't think that's necessary.

Actually, Master Chi's already
sent me a message.

Something suddenly came up so
he asked me to look after you.

I'd be happy to take you out for
afternoon tea if you like.

If you find talking to me boring

then I can let you watch
a Korean drama here.

So my judgment of your boss was correct.

He's such a liar.

You don't want to wait? Bye, Lisa.

Master Chi?

Master Chi, don't worry.

I already kicked that girl out.

She didn't look like a lawyer at all.

More like a middle-aged auntie.

We must teach her a lesson
and make her pay for this.

Let's send her far away
and turn her into a nun.

Master Chi.

Let me tell you what I really think.

I don't think you should keep all
the pain to yourself.

Who cares if you're going to lose face?

This is the weakness that
Jiao Yan Yan's targeting.

First she cheated on you and now she's
asking for your money?

I think we should sue her for
emotional abuse.

Not much, just a dollar.

It's to show her we don't care
about the money but the truth.

Why a dollar, right?

Because we want to tell her she means
nothing to us at all

so she can't threaten us.

Hey, don't you make any noise
when you poop?

Why do I have to make a noise when
I go to the toilet?

Don't worry, Master Chi,
he's not a blabbermouth.

I... I didn't hear anything.

Master Chi, I'll have a word with them.

I won't let this get out.

You're home.

- How did you get in?
- Guess.

Stop looking.

Tell me how you got in here.

Put me down first.

If you don't tell me,
then I'll call the police.

Fine, Master Chi.

I can't get out of this thing.

I feel so dizzy now that I can't talk.

Let me down first and I'll answer your
question, okay?

That's better.

- So how did you get in?
- Well, it's a long story...

but I'll cut it short.

As long as you're still
married to your wife

you don't have the right
to change your locks

and my client can
still enter your apartment.

As her lawyer, I've come to check on
your common assets.

So are you done?

Not quite yet...

Yes, I'm done.

- Get out of my house.
- Sure, but I can't open this.

Give me a hand.

You'd be trespassing if we
were in the States

and I could shoot you.

Capitalist societies are so violent.

Here, help me up.

Let's have a good chat, what do you say?

I'm really dizzy.

How long were you in there?

Half an hour.

Is half an hour considered too long?

Give me your hand.

You can't use it for too long.

- I'll get you a doctor.
- It's not that serious.

It runs in my family.

Low blood sugar. A sweet drink
would do the trick.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I'll rest for an hour or two here.

Surprise.

- Did you buy all these?
- I certainly did.

Why?

It wasn't appropriate for me to wait
outside the men's room.

But it's okay to trespass?

I came here because I wanted to cook
for you as an apology.

See how sincere I am?

- Aren't you dizzy anymore?
- It's nothing.

My parents do Chinese opera.

They've always wanted me to take over
from them.

I used to practice my handstands for
at least 40 minutes.

Let me show you.

Jiao Yan Yan said you like
eating pig kidneys.

Stir fried or as a cold dish?

I'm a vegetarian now.

Has it been a long time since you
last had dinner at home?

Yeah.

So what do you think of my cooking?

It's delicious, thank you.

Does that mean you're not mad anymore?

Cheers.

I don't hate you.

We're both lawyers.

I was just like you when I was young.

What happened earlier...

was just my bad temper.

Apart from lacking subtlety

you're simple, true, and very brave.

If my assistant were
half as competent as you are

then I'd be very content.

Looks like that deserves another drink.

I hope you really meant your compliments

and that you'd support my job.

See?

I told you, you lack subtlety.

We haven't even finished
half a bottle yet

and you're already getting
straight to the point.

Fine... so I lack subtlety.

In that case, let me tell you
what I'm after.

Just give me the headline.

Back down.

Can't you guys sit down and talk it out?

People typically try their best
to fight for their positions in court.

Things will often turn really nasty.

You guys were once married after all.

If things really turn ugly

then it'll hurt both of you deeply.

Don't forget, you're a famous lawyer.

I might be an experienced lawyer

but when it comes to many things in
life it's also my very first time.

How can you be sure that what appears
to be ugly in court

is actually nice and pretty in real life?

If we could avoid going to court
by chatting over a few drinks

then a lawyer would only have to go
to dinner with clients.

Attorney Chi.

To tell you the truth

I feel there is still something
between you and Jiao Yan Yan.

There's still something that you
haven't sorted out yet.

Like what?

If there's nothing

then why didn't you go into your house
when you were already at the door?

Didn't she tell you
what I saw at the door?

She did.

When you got there that night

she was saying goodbye to a male friend

and you got the wrong idea.

If you can be so forgiving to
a young lawyer like me

then why can't you give your wife a
chance to explain herself to you?

Attorney Chi, I've been to your house.

It's a very cozy and comfortable home.

Jiao Yan Yan said you decorated
the entire house.

Every piece of tile was laid by you.

You must have such a strong bond
with your home.

Can you really give it up that easily?

Last night

Yan Yan kept listening to your WeChat
conversations in front of me.

She couldn't stop crying.

No matter how I tried to comfort her.

It wasn't necessary for her to put on
an act for her lawyer, right?

It's obvious that she
still loves you very much.

She also told me that she's always
been deeply in love with you.

- She said that?
- Yes.

What a pity.

I don't love her anymore.

- Why?
- I just don't. There's no reason.

So, when did you stop loving her?

About a year after we got married.

I became busier at work

and we didn't have anything to talk about.

We'd say goodbye when I left for work
in the morning

and say hello when I came home from work.

Apart from having dinner and watching TV,
we basically didn't talk at all.

As soon as something new and exciting
entered the marriage

it was doomed to collapse.

Something new and exciting?

Can you be a bit more specific?

- Like an affair.
- Whose affair?

Mine.
