Episode 7

Why didn't he shave properly?

Look at his white hair.

I really want to fly to Beijing
and see her now.

[Mom]

Li Li, listen.

I've already bought

the train ticket to Beijing...

Auntie.

- Luo Li's mom?
- Yes, I'm Luo Li's mom.

I'm Chi Hai Dong.

- Chi Dong Hai.
- It's Chi Hai Dong, Auntie.

- I'm sorry.
- That's okay.

Chi Hai Dong.

Mom, how did you get here?

Auntie, my mission is now complete.

I live just next door.
You're welcome to drop by any time.

Sure. I definitely will.

Here you go.

You want to come out for a chat?

- Mom, come in first.
- Here you go.

Okay, you guys chat.

Have a good chat.

Goodbye, Auntie.

What the hell are you doing?

How did you end up with my mom?

Why wouldn't you take my calls?

I don't have time to take useless calls.

Why did you steal my phone?

You left your phone in the cab.

Your mom called to ask you to pick her up.

Despite our prior conflict, I managed to
bring your mom to you.

- Shouldn't you thank me for it?
- Thanks.

Say it properly.

Thank you so much.

Why am I called Chi Qian in your phone?

- Your surname's Chi.
- What about Qian?

It means elegance.

- You really think so?
- Don't put yourself down like this.

Luo.

Did you feel a little disappointed today?

You won't succeed
in trying to humiliate me.

When it comes to a court case,
ethics don't matter at all.

What people care about
is how professional we are.

Stop finding excuses.

- You're just plain nasty.
- Nasty?

You're the one who used
such nasty tricks last time.

Have you forgotten about my divorce case?

Chi, don't get happy too soon.
The case isn't over yet.

Let's see who's smiling in the end.

That is what I call professionalism.

You're now one step closer
to becoming a grownup.

You can do it.

Here you go.

Hui sent you a message.

How dare you violate my privacy.

Li Li.

Perhaps one day you'll understand

that true love has nothing
to do with marriage.

Li Li.

He's your boyfriend, right?

Why didn't he come in?

Mom, why did you come here so suddenly?

What do you mean by that?

I'm so glad that I decided to come though.

Hurry, give your dad a call.

- Otherwise he'll start looking for me.
- Did you have a fight again?

You wouldn't understand.

Ever since he retired,
he just sits at home all day long.

I have to do everything.

Looking after him every day is even more
demanding than when he was still working.

When he was working

at least I had some peace and quiet.

But now...

- Dad...
- Hey, listen.

Bad news, your mom's run away.

- I can't find her anywhere.
- My mom's with me right now.

She is?

- I thought so.
- You want to talk to her?

No, I'll talk to you.

Hey, I heard you have a boyfriend?

- Dad, you're so nosy.
- I'm just concerned about my daughter.

How can that be nosy?

Tell me about him.

All right, my gossip isn't important.

So do you want to talk to Mom or
should I hang up?

I don't want to talk to him...

- I said I don't want to talk to him.
- Come on, do it for me.

I thought you didn't want to talk to me.

Just watch your soccer game.

You must be so happy that I'm not there
to nag you during your game.

You can watch it all day long.

You won't even have to eat.

That's enough. It's none of your business.

So tell me, have you met
our daughter's boyfriend yet?

Of course.

He even picked me up
from the train station.

So, of course I've met him.

He's such a great guy.

What's his name again?

Chi, Attorney Chi.

They're both lawyers.

- What a perfect match.
- Hey, hang on, Mom.

- Did he tell you he's my boyfriend?
- Why would he need to tell me?

After I saw your photo, I spotted him at
the train station right away.

Go on.

All right, what are you two talking about?

I have to watch soccer now, bye.

Your dad hung up on me.

That's not the first time
that he's hung up on you.

How dare he.

You must be tired from traveling.
Get some rest.

Li Li.

Come here.

Come and sit down.

Li Li, you know I'm not
the kind of person who likes to be nosy.

Right?

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't you agree?

Mom, what are you trying to say?

But there are some things

that I must know about.

For example, your relationships.

I'm your mother.

I should have the right to know, right?

How did you guys meet?

How long have you been together?

- Have you been to his place yet?
- Mom, I'm going to take a shower.

I'll treat Chi to lunch tomorrow.

Mom, you're kidding, right?

Since you won't tell me,
I'll have to ask him.

Can you stay out of my private life?

Private life?

That sounds terrible.
What exactly is a private life?

You actually have a private life?

Oh my god.

Mom, hey...

Hello?

It's your dad.

It's for me.

- Go on.
- Tell me more about Attorney Chi.

It was the first time that I met him.

Why would I ask him so much?

We can't appear too eager, can we?

Based on my observation

he's very polite.

As for his looks

he's a hundred times better looking than
you were when you were young.

So how long have they been together?

She's in the shower right now.

You can ask her yourself
when she comes out.

Fine.

Thanks, brother.

Cheers.

- Happy, brother?
- Yeah, cheers!

I should thank you.

I finally know what a lawyer
is capable of now.

You know what?

I was so nervous when
I stepped into the courtroom.

Her lawyer was a woman

but she was so good.

She spoke with such confidence

that it was almost impossible
to rebut her statements.

As for us

thank goodness we found Attorney Chi.

Otherwise, it'd be over for us.

What if they find out that Big Head's
my fake husband?

How would they find out?

We have a child.

What if they want us to do a DNA test?

How would she ever be able to do that?

As long as you and Big Head refuse

she can't do anything.

The only thing that counts
in court is evidence.

You must have evidence.

That's it.

It's all about evidence.

They won't be able to accuse us if they
don't have evidence.

If I say that the kid is mine

then they can never take my kid
for a DNA test.

So, if I bring a crowd of men
to her house

and say they're the fathers
of Xia Fang Cao's kid

would she have to do a DNA test on
every one of them?

The father of Xia Fang Cao's kid is me
for sure. No DNA tests required.

It's you for sure.

- Cheers, brother.
- Don't be so certain.

She probably started the affair
with that man long ago.

Impossible.

Let me tell you.

The day when she took those pills...

that Gu guy had really gone to our house
to take our meter reading.

At that time, they really
didn't know each other.

He got so scared when he saw her

that he kept calling her Mrs. Zheng
when he called me.

He didn't even know what Xia Fang Cao's
name was then.

They only got together afterward.

I'm only doing this for you.

Then what if she also installs
a camera in our house?

In our house?

That's impossible.

She'd never put a camera in your house.

Do you know why they can't do that?

Because they'd be trespassing.

It's against the law, right?

That's right.

Brother, you can stay here.

It's my home. I'll beat up anyone
who tries to cause you trouble.

Beat them up, right?

She can never come here
to catch us cheating.

She can only do that
in her own home or at a hotel.

Do you know why
she can't come here to catch us?

Because trespassing is against the law.

Attorney Chi told me that
he also lives in this building.

- Can you see him from here?
- What did you say?

Li Li.

Tell me more about Attorney Chi.

What's the matter?

This can wait.

Don't hide from me every
time I ask you about this.

Mom, I already told you
that he's not my boyfriend.

Fine.

Just wait.

- Did you send me this photo?
- I did.

But I never said he's my boyfriend.

Don't play the lawyer
in front of your mom.

I didn't believe you when you told me
you were on a date.

So you sent me this photo.

Tell me, what was I supposed to think?

What would a normal person think?

Of course I'd think he was your boyfriend.

Mom, you've got it all wrong.

I was really on a date that night.

But I never said I was on a date with
my boyfriend.

You were mistaken.

Stop picking on me.

Then were you on a date with someone
else's boyfriend?

A date and a boyfriend
are two different things.

Going out with a boyfriend is a date

but the person you go on a date with isn't
necessarily your boyfriend. Get it?

I know exactly what you mean.

You told me you're busy when I called
you the other day.

When he answered my call

he said, 'Auntie, I'm her boyfriend.'

- Did he say that?
- Yeah.

- He lied.
- But you still played along with it.

If you insist on believing him

then what else should I say?

You're so annoying.

Mom, don't get mad. It'll make you age.

Li Li, you're not young anymore.

Being a lawyer is just a job.

You can't be a lawyer for life.

Nowadays, marriage isn't for life either.

- Only a minority get divorced.
- But I talk to them everyday.

That's because you're a divorce lawyer.

Judging from Chi's image

he could definitely become
a popular actor.

He's not as impressive as he looks.

What did you say?

A facial cramp.

Bastard.

I can't believe how useless my lawyer is.

Zheng Tian Ya's nothing.

He's such a bastard.

But once his lawyer began to talk...

he suddenly turned into a gentleman.

He said because I drive around in
an expensive car

he installed the camera to keep
an eye out for burglars.

He said it's for my safety.

All right.

- Don't be so mad.
- How can I not be mad?

Just the thought of it makes me mad.

I already told her
the woman's name and address.

But she didn't get any evidence at all.

What the hell was she doing?

She took my money but did nothing.

I've already asked around, and it's true
that it's not easy for her to get evidence.

If she insists on denying their affair

then what can you do if you don't
have any evidence?

But they've got a child.

But how can you prove it's their child?

We can do a DNA test.

But that's not something
that's up to you to decide.

Then what about those famous
Hollywood celebrities?

Would they all have to go for DNA testing
any time someone demanded it?

What if a man comes up and say he's
the father of your daughter?

Would you let her go for DNA testing
if he demanded it?

What if a crowd of men turn up?

Would you do a DNA test
on every one of them?

Wouldn't that be such a mess?

I know.

I know it's hard.

But if it weren't this hard

why would I need to get a lawyer?

All right, don't be so mad, okay?

- I should go now.
- Why?

Why are you leaving?

I've already been condemned
as the cheater.

They've already caught us on camera.

Why worry now?

From now on

the two of us won't have to hide anymore.

Let's not lose our grip, okay?

We should remain cautious at such a
critical time.

After the court has reached a verdict
and you've completed your divorce

then we can become legitimate, okay?

Let's not cause any more trouble now.

I really can't get over it.

- Auntie.
- Attorney Chi, you going for a jog?

I like to jog when the weather's clear.

You've been jogging for a while already.

Why don't you take a break?

- You bought breakfast?
- Yeah.

- Have you had breakfast?
- No.

Come and join us for breakfast.

No, you're too kind, Auntie.

Just a casual breakfast.

I already saw you from upstairs.

You've been jogging for quite some time.

- You saw me from upstairs?
- I sure did.

You've got a very healthy body.

I bought fried dough and soy milk.

I'll give you two extra fried eggs.

- Breakfast is very important.
- I don't usually have breakfast.

But you must have breakfast.

No, I mean I don't usually
eat this for breakfast.

I usually get a sandwich from a cafe
close to my office.

I prefer western breakfast.

Then come over tonight.

I'll cook you a few
of my favorite specialties.

Auntie, tonight...

It's decided.

Don't be shy, Chi.

I took up a lot of your time when you came
to pick me up from the train station.

I should thank you for it, right?

Go on, keep on jogging.

Mom, why did you buy so
many fried dough today?

I saw Chi downstairs.

He was jogging and I invited him over
to have breakfast with us.

But he said he prefers a western breakfast
over a Chinese breakfast.

Mom, can you be a little more discreet
in the future?

To hell with his pretentious
western breakfast.

No, he's not pretentious.

That's just his habit.

I invited him for dinner instead.

So, what are some of his favorite foods?

- Why did you do that?
- To say thank you.

He spent half a day picking me up
from the train station.

- Are you two having a fight?
- We always fight.

Go easy on him.

Don't try to control a man
before you marry him.

You only try to do that
after you get married.

Wouldn't that be a retaliation
rather than a marriage?

It's a fact.

Then perhaps I should just marry
my archenemy.

Then I can both get married and
retaliate at the same time.

So, what does he like to eat?

He usually swallows the plaintiff
before he eats the defendant.

I'm going.

Morning, Attorney Chi.

I see you're very formally dressed for
your western breakfast.

Your mom's very passionate indeed.

She's passionate to everyone.

I thought I was the only one.

You're really thinking too much.

- She even invited me to your house...
- For dinner, right?

Don't take it too seriously.

She's the one who's very serious about it.

Good boy.

You're such a good boy.

It's okay, my little swan.

- Okay, bye.
- What a cute baby.

Look at him.

- It's a boy, right?
- Yeah.

- What about yours?
- Ours is a girl.

That's good. Girls are so sweet.

Good boy.

So, how old's your son?

Why? Are you trying to set them up?

Look how handsome your son is.

Sons tend to look like their moms.

You're very pretty yourself.

Your daughter's also very pretty.

Hello, you're so pretty...

You're very beautiful, too.

I don't think I've seen you before.

I just moved here not long ago.

Excuse me, let me take this call.

Hello?

Sure, go on.

Did you forget what I told you?

Yeah, you must make him confirm it
in writing.

Otherwise it's you who'll lose out.

Make sure you remember this.

Sis, I've already told you many times.

Just write it out as I told you before.

That's right.

Okay, call me if you need anything else.

Bye.

Men can be so cruel nowadays.

What goes around comes around.

What's wrong?

One of my friends met a married man

and had a child together.

He said if she had a baby, then he'd get
divorced and marry her.

But after waiting for a long time

he's still not divorced yet.

You know what?

Now they can't register the child
or enroll him in kindergarten.

- Can you believe what his wife said?
- What?

She said, if you don't want this kid
then I can look after it.

Really?

Why would anyone want to
give away their own child?

She's so cute.

Hello, pretty girl.

So what's your friend going to do?

Remember how the man said he'd
get divorced and marry her?

So I told her to make him
promise in writing.

When he'll get divorced
and when he'll marry her.

More importantly

if he doesn't get divorced
and doesn't marry her

then what about her compensation
and their child, right?

It's important to have this guarantee.

- Will this guarantee have any effect?
- Of course.

It's what I do. I'm a lawyer.

Really?

So how should I write it?

I already told you.

But I don't remember.

You know what? I've got a friend
who's in the same situation.

So I'm asking on her behalf.

What do you think about this?

If I get her man to write a guarantee,
can you look at it for her?

Sure, no problem.

I can even certify it for you.

That's great, thank you.

You're welcome.

But I don't have my card with me.

Why don't you give me your number?

- I'll call you.
- Sure, I'll give it to you.

Okay, here's my number.

I'm starving to death, Mom.

Let's just have dinner.

He probably won't even come.

Yes, he will.

He promised me.

- What are you doing?
- Just one slice.

Promised you?

Why would you believe him?

He's a well-mannered person.

I'm sure he'd tell me
if he couldn't make it.

He doesn't even know what the word
'manners' means.

Are you guys having a fight again?

I already told you many times, no...

- How annoying.
- Not really.

I truly sympathize with my dad now.

I also sympathize
with my future son-in-law.

Who'd be able to tolerate your temper?

I'm happy to stay single
for the rest of my life.

See...

- He's so shameless.
- Look at you.

Your mouth's very oily.
Go and clean up.

Give your hair a brush, too.

My goodness.

Hello, I'm Wu Wen Hui.
I'm here to see Luo Li.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Would you like a cup of tea?

No, thanks, I don't drink tea
in the evening.

- Then what about milk?
- Mom.

Just leave us alone.

Okay, I'll leave you two to it.

Can we talk about it
in my office tomorrow?

- Your evidence.
- What evidence?

A guarantee that Cheng Tian Ya's
written for Wu Yi.

[Guarantee]

This will prove that he had an affair
and an illegitimate child.

How did you get this?

Like I said before

they have a lack of trust in each other.

So I found someone to tell Wu Yi

that she must get her man
to write her a guarantee.

Because men never keep their promises.

Have some milk.

- Thank you.
- So are you a lawyer as well, Mr. Wu?

Yes, I am.

I'm Wu Wen Hui. I'm also a lawyer.

Thank you.

Partner of Wen Hui Law Firm.

Director of National Lawyers Association.

Vice President of Lawyers Association.

Lecturer of National Law School.

Mom.

I know, so...

Why don't you have a seat?

Have a seat.

- Thank you.
- Li Li's still very young.

I hope you can give her
more opportunities.

- Mom.
- Not a problem.

I know.

- Have a seat.
- Okay, thank you.

Li Li, sit down and have a chat.

Have a seat.

Why don't you sit down as well?

Thank you.

Your mom probably has quite a good
impression of me, right?

You're a lawyer, so of course you know
how to impress people.

It's a basic skill.

You still remember the basic skill
that I taught you?

I really admire your knowledge and
professionalism.

But I'm too stupid, so I've only learned
a little from you.

I'll have to keep trying harder.

Your knowledge and professionalism are
also of a very high standard.

It's not knowledge and professionalism
that you lack

but social skills to deal with people.

In order to be a good lawyer
you must not trust anyone.

Even if it's your own client.

So you've never trusted anyone?

- That's right.
- Including me?

Actually, the spirit of the law
doesn't lie in trust

but in doubt.

If you believe that everyone
is a good person

then why do we need laws.

All we need are morals.

The basic principle of the law

is to be honest,
not to cause harm to others

and to give people what they deserve.

You mean the Justinian Code?

It was issued and established
in the year 526.

But it's already 2013 now.

I'm sorry.

I'm probably rushing a little.

I just think...

you're a little too kind sometimes.

And trust people too easily.

That's all I'm trying to say.

I hope everything goes well for you.

Good luck.

I better go now.

He's gone?

Li Li.

Forgive me for being nosy.

You always say you can't find a boyfriend.

But all the men that are around you

are actually quite attractive.

That's because your daughter's also
very attractive.

Yeah, right.

How old is he?

How come I feel as if Master Wu's
very interested in you?

What do you think about him?

Well...

he's not bad.

What a shame.

So was I right?

Let me tell you, I'm very experienced

so my intuition is always right.

Li Li, I've left a car key
behind your cushion.

Image is very important for a lawyer.

No one would want to give a case to
a lawyer who rides a bike.

I look forward to hearing your good news.

- What are you doing?
- Excuse me...

What are you doing?

What are you looking for?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Li Li, where are you going?

It's very cold outside.

I can't believe this child.

- Auntie.
- Attorney Chi.

Why are you dressed so formally?

- I've got a dinner meeting to go to.
- But, Chi...

But I already invited you over
for dinner this morning.

Why didn't you tell me that you
couldn't make it?

Well...

Li Li said you were just being polite and
that I shouldn't take it too seriously.

- Did Luo Li say that to you?
- Yes, she did.

- I'm going, Auntie.
- Okay.

What's the matter?

Why? Why didn't you let Chi Hai Dong
have dinner with us?

Did you actually go and ask him?

- Mom, you're so ridiculous.
- I'm ridiculous?

You're the one who's ridiculous.

Listen, Li Li.

Don't even think about two-timing someone.

I don't even have one boyfriend,
let alone two.

- I'm not done yet.
- Go on...

So how old is Master Wu?

Is he single or married?

Even as a suspect, I'd at least have
the right to remain silent.

Why would you remain silent?

That means you've got something to hide.

What have I got to hide?

Have I done anything wrong at all?

Mom, you've really hurt me by saying that.

I'm your daughter.
I'm already 28 years old.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Can you stop interfering in
my personal life all the time?

You're violating my privacy,
did you know that?

I've really had enough.

Then you should tell me everything

instead of hiding it from me.

Mom.

You're the one who raised me.

You should know
what kind of a person I am.

I guess you haven't
called Dad yet today, have you?

Let me call him for you.

Who could that be?

No one's picking up.

How is that possible?

I hope he's okay.

- Perhaps he had a heart attack?
- No way.

He's probably just in the bathroom.

Let me get it.

Darling?

Hello?

You hung up just as I picked up.

Darling, where have you been?

Why didn't you pick up?

I went out for dinner.

I almost starved to death at home.

- So have you eaten yet?
- Yeah.

I had dinner at
our neighbor's, Xiao Qin.

Who's Xiao Qin?

Qin Shu Chuen.

Her name is Qin Shu Chuen.

Why did you call her Xiao Qin?

She's old enough to be a grandma.

How can you still call her Xiao Qin?

Who cares how old she is?

To me, she's still Xiao Qin.
Is something wrong?

I bumped into her as I left the house.

As soon as she saw me, she said

'Don't go out. Come
to our place for dinner.'

Her son's found a maid for her.

The maid cooks so many dishes every day

that they can't even finish them.

That's why you went? To finish them, right?
Are you a trash bin?

How can you be so cheap?

How can you go and finish
other people's food scraps?

Mom.

Dad, that's enough.

You've made Mom really mad.

Can you just say Auntie Qin's
cooking is really bad

so you really miss Mom's cooking?

Can't you beg Mom to go back
and cook dinner for you?

You realize you're wrong, right?

He knows he's wrong.

That's good.

Don't go to Auntie Qin's place for
dinner again, okay?

Okay, remember to give Mom a report
when she gets back.

Okay, bye.

Don't be so mad, Mom.

What's wrong with Dad going over to
Auntie Qin's for dinner?

- Why get mad?
- You don't think it's wrong?

What's the matter with you?

Do you know what she's really like?

She can't wait to be taken advantage of.

She's been like that
ever since she was young.

Why do you always get so mad when
we mention Auntie Qin?

I really can't stand those
flirtatious women.

You know what?

When we were young

she was willing to do anything
in order to get the leading role.

Like what?

The two of us

got pregnant at the same time.

It was during our
theatrical company's tour.

You know what she did?

She went to the hospital and
had an abortion right away.

If I had also done the same thing

then where would you be today?

Thank you, Mom.

So for you

I sacrificed both my acting career
and my artistic life.

Mom, how will I ever pay you back
for what you've done for me?

I'll spend the rest of
my life to repay you.

No.

All you need to do is find a good man

get married, and have kids.

It's not that I don't want to,
but I just can't find anyone.

All the good ones are married, and
the leftovers are all rotten.

- What about Attorney Chi?
- No.

- Why not?
- He...

- Mom, it's Dad.
- No.

He wants to say sorry.

What is it?

Tell me our daughter's boyfriend's name
again. I'll look him up on the internet.

I see you're finally concerned
about our daughter.

The internet has a lot of information.

Old men like you are always so dubious.

Listen.

Chi Hai Dong.

How do you spell it?

C-H-I, H-A-I, D-O-N-G.

I'll stay on the line.

Let me know once you find something.

Okay, hang on.

[Chi Hai Dong]

Hey, I've got something.

- Chi Hai Dong, right?
- Yes.

Chi Hai Dong.

A high-end, experienced,
and professional lawyer.

A strong, winning record.
Extremely reliable.

- He's a lawyer, right?
- Yeah.

Listen, he's a divorced man.

He was actually the party at fault.

He doesn't seem to have good morals.

You know what his famous quote is?

He said women are like shares.

You should buy them while they're pretty

and get rid of them once you get
sick of them.

- What a nasty person.
- Where did you get this information?

Is the internet reliable at all?

He seemed like a fine gentleman to me.

Darling, could it be someone
with the same name?

No, it's definitely him.

It's got a photo of him and his ex-wife.

They even made news headlines.

It's all over the news,
the internet, and Facebook.

Listen, our daughter was the
lawyer for his ex-wife.

Get Li Li for me. I need to talk to her.

Oh god, how can this be happening?

Darling, I really thought
he was a nice person.

That means there's something wrong
with your judgment.

I know that.

Otherwise why would I have married you?

Mom, why are you fighting with Dad again?

It's all your fault.

What does it have to do with me?

Tell me, what's the story
with Chi Hai Dong?

He said women... you can talk to your
dad yourself.

Hello, Dad.

He's not my boyfriend.

It's Mom who's been trying to set us up.

See!

I knew it must have been your mom.

Okay, I'm glad to know you're
not interested in someone like that.

Get some rest, okay?

Okay.
