Original subtitles

Yang Hua,

how did

you and Shi meet?

How did you meet?

The first time we met

was a perfect encounter.

Life is like

an endless journey.

As time passes by,

you even forgot

where you began

and where you should stop,

until I met Qin Shi.

After I met her,

I realized all the paths I took

has a destination

and all my waiting

has a meaning.

She's my oceans of stars.

Happiness surrounds me.

Fragrance fills the air.

Bro, you're a poet.

Her? She's the ocean of stars?

Have you seen a tsunami?

Are you seasick?

Wenyu.

No,

you don't understand.

Qin Shi is the most adorable woman

I've met in the world.

Was it love at first sight for the two of you?

To be accurate,

it was love at first sight for me.

Fine, fine.

Yang,

it's nice that

you two have a great relationship.

But marriage

isn't just about love.

It's about living together for life.

If you keep living in separate places,

that's not a good thing.

That's not a good thing.

Have you considered

changing a job and a place to work?

Uncle,

that was just a lie.

I didn't come back from overseas.

I'm…

I'm a…

Are you drunk?

Are you drunk and starting

to talk gibberish?

I'm not drunk.

See, only drunk people

would say they're not drunk.

Have you had enough to eat?

Can we go now? Let's go.

No one leaves!

Wenyu, guard the door.

Got it!

I'm telling you,

no one leaves this house

until you've explained everything!

Go ahead.

Mom, you didn't see

the ruckus downstairs.

It's true?

Well, what…

What does this Yang Hua do?

Are they really in a relationship?

Will they get married?

Tell me the important details first.

Eat afterwards.

Mom, it surprised me.

The truth came out today.

That Yang Hua

got drunk today

and told the truth

about everything.

His international background,

his one million annual salary,

they are all lies.

He's worse than I am.

He doesn't even have a job!

He's unemployed?

What does he do for a living then?

How can he be in a relationship with Qin Shi?

You… you trade stocks?

That's right.

Do you have a house?

Yes, I live with my parents.

You're not planning to

still live with your parents

after you and Shi get married, right?

I can also

move in with Qin Shi.

You've set your mind on

being a live-in son-in-law?

After you get married,

are you going to take care of the house while she makes a living?

Are you going to be

a house husband?

If it's possible,

I can do that.

You can do that?

What a nice plan

you've made.

How much can you earn

by trading stocks per year?

Can you support yourself?

You're not going to let.

Qin Shi support you, right?

Don't add to the trouble.

I believe there's no limit

to human desire.

If you want to live a happy life,

you can do that with 4,500 per month.

Can you stop now?

Oh, My!

You little bastard!

You little bastard!

No wonder.

That's why you want to

date our Shi.

Shi, look at you.

Look at you.

You and Tao Junhui were so good together.

And you broke up with him

because of this guy,

right?

Look at him!

How can he compare to Tao Junhui?

Shi,

I'm not asking you to marry

into a rich family.

But you should at least

find a decent man!

What the hell is this?

How is Yang Hua not a decent guy?

You!

How is he decent?

Does he have a decent job?

Does he have his own house?

He has nothing.

Your head is filled with junk!

I'm telling you,

Tao Junhui was so promising.

You've dated him

for so long

and you just won't marry him!

Now you want to marry this one!

Tao Junhui, Tao Junhui,

all you know is Tao Junhui!

I…

Well, let me tell you the truth.

His family didn't like me!

I've dated him…

Sure, I've dated him for years.

He never told his family

about our situation.

Do you know why?

Because his family

cannot accept someone

from a divorced family.

To them,

people like us

are the cancer of our society!

We're moral degenerates and inferior to others,

got it?

It's not that I refused to marry him.

It's his family that opposed it!

Are you happy now?

They didn't like her?

What a shocking twist!

Mom.

That wicked girl

has been so pompous.

Did you remember

her proud expression when she broke up?

She was dumped.

Today's news

is truly worth…

Mom, why did you hit me?

Why should I hit you?

Who is Qin Shi?

She's your sister after all.

Now that someone

is looking down upon your sister

and your dad

got a humiliation.

Should I hit you or not?

You're an unfitting brother.

No, Mom.

That happened a long time ago.

What can I do now?

Besides, she's…

Mom, why did you hit me?

Don't hit me.

No, you...

Why are you hitting me?

Why are you hitting me?

Why are you hitting me?

Why are you…

Wait, you hit me...

Stop it. Why are you hitting me?

Don't be upset.

I have nothing else to say. Let's go.

Uncle, Auntie,

I don't know what's the best

son-in-law in your eyes.

I just know

that I'm not the best candidate.

But I can promise one thing.

I won't ask Qin Shi

to change anything for me.

I won't become an obstacle

in Qin Shi's

life goal.

Please trust me.

What are you doing?

Don't you have the car key?

Shi!

She left without taking her belongings.

Mom.

Marriage is an important event in your life.

You chose this man.

From now on,

you're on your own.

I can't help you anymore.

Go on.

I really can't believe you.

I've repeatedly warned you.

The answers are all in the outline.

Look at you.

You went

and played Truth or Dare.

I finally understand

how Meimei feels

and what it's like

to have a weak teammate.

I wanted to BBQ you

every minute back then.

Luckily, it was more scare than hurt.

Can you handle your parents?

Do you need my help?

Bro,

can you get me

the same thing he has?

Thank you.

Thanks.

That's it?

Hey, just be satisfied with that.

You just gave me a name

and nothing else.

It's good enough that

I can find this much.

His last resume update

was five or six years ago.

Bro, I don't think

he seems like the type

who's capable of

earthshattering evil deeds.

Another new case?

Don't ask.

You haven't been yourself lately.

Wu Fei.

Where's Counselor Qin?

I don't know.

She went out.

She went out?

Here's the thing,

when she comes back,

tell her I need to see her.

Attorneys and elites,

please hand in your

academic diplomas

certificates of degree,

and proof of marital status

before Friday, okay?

Okay.

Thank you, Director Qiao.

Thank you for the hard work.

Hottest news!

We found several womanizers

who kept their marital status hidden

while they dated other women and cheated.

Two of them are from the firm.

One is in the Accounting Department

and the other is at the front desk.

That guy is pretty smart.

He wouldn't dare to court female lawyers

or it'll be much worse

than a fight in public.

The winning team of

the final competition

of the 2007 National Junior College Debate Competition is,

Pujiang (Chinese) University of Political Science & Law.

Congratulations.

Now, I will present

an important award-

the Best Debater Award

of this year's competition.

Congratulations to Qin Shi

from PUPSL.

Do you know Qin Shi?

I think she's from PUPSL.

She's my direct superior and

the chief counsel of the Family Dispute Department.

I think

she's my fellow schoolmate a few years behind me.

I'm not very familiar with her.

I'm not really sure.

Do you know someone

named Tao Junhui?

He's a lawyer too, right?

He's from the same college as you.

We were on the same debate team

when we were in college.

Yes, your heels.

That's right.

Very good. Move your hands.

Good.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax. That's right.

Get up.

Good, relax your hands.

Good.

Stand up.

I can't stand up. Bro, please.

Stand up.

Bro, I can't do it anymore.

I really can't take it anymore.

I don't want to.

Stand up. Do it again.

Again?

Bro, just consider me dead.

I'm begging you.

Train with me for another hour.

Bro, one more hour?

Bro…

my body really

can't stand another hour of being tossed around.

Please.

Who else wants to try?

Let me try it.

Are you sure?

Yes, come on.

What's the relationship of

that girl and Tao?

Why are you so nosy?

How can you call her that?

Wait,

is Tao really going to toss her around.

How can he do that?

How can Tao

get physical with

such a pretty girl?

Stand up.

You have no mercy for women at all.

Again.

Have you forgotten what I taught you?

Ouch.

Do you want to continue?

It kind of hurts.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Counterstrike!

Nice!

I lost.

I never taught you that move.

Does the offer you propose

when you came to see me last time

still stand?

If she actively pays off the debts,

I can at least

guarantee that her other enterprises

can operate normally

without interference.

Otherwise, all her other enterprises

will be frozen.

Is that why you came to me?

Isn't Honesty & Prudence

no longer responsible for.

Lan Xiaoting's divorce case anymore?

Honesty & Prudent isn't responsible for it.

That doesn't mean I'm not.

Since when have you

seen me let any of

my cases escape?

The offer still stands.

However,

there's an additional condition now.

Stop looking.

Let's go.

She won't be your girl no matter how long you look at her.

You never said security guarantees last time.

You know how many assets.

Lan Xiaoting has better than me.

Besides, your payment plan

will drag on for three years.

Can you tell me

how many things might happen

within three years?

Plus, can you guarantee

that Lan Xiaoting's corporations

can operate smoothly

within three years?

If you're a creditor,

will you agree to that?

Either you do a pledge of assets

or find a third-party guarantor.

It will be a guarantee

for both parties.

Aren't you trying to make it difficult for me?

With Ms. Lan's situation,

which bank or corporation

would endorse her?

That's your problem.

Tao Junhui!

Tao Junhui,

if you drive a vulnerable woman

to the corner,

you'll only hurt both sides,

you know?

Ms. Lan already agreed to pay off the debts.

She wasn't

the only person who owes these debts.

Shouldn't you

give someone with

such vigor and courage

some support?

If you can't decide,

I can go talk to your client.

You women

are so fickle.

If a determined celibatarian

agrees to

marry someone else right after her breakup,

what else won't change?

I won't take anything less

than all the conditions I said.

Let me remind you,

you only have a week.

The court is swamped with

cases from these creditors.

If you miss this chance to negotiate,

no one can help you.

Get out

or I'll sue you for sexual harassment.

Who wants to look at you?

Yes.

I just came from the court.

All the cases

are being handled together now.

I just communicated

with the judge too.

Don't these creditors

go to court just for the money?

It's best if Ms. Lan has the intention of

paying the debts.

However, a guarantor is also required.

I called Danping too.

She said she's working on that too.

That's all

we can do now.

Why? You don't have an appetite?

Didn't say you were starving?

My arm hurts. I can't raise it.

Thank you.

Can you bring me a drink?

You can't exercise

too hard at once.

You have to take it step by step.

How did it go

over there?

The banks are not an option.

We have to find an individual enterprise.

But individual enterprises

have a very high investment risk.

Unless…

Unless…

Unless we decentralize and go through financing.

That means we'll need to find a bunch of corporations

to cover us.

Otherwise, it'll be hard to

fill in such a financial gap.

What's wrong?

Did your parents

mention me again?

You want to play another round with them?

No, I got drunk that day

and said a lot of things I shouldn't say.

I'm sorry.

Luckily, you made it up in time

and sort of redeemed yourself.

Besides,

you went there for me after all.

I'm not that unreasonable.

I was the one who said those things

and caused the trouble.

I have to make up for it.

There's no need.

However,

if you really want

to make up to me.

I do need your help

on something.

What is it?

You want me to

help you find investment for Ms. Lan's early learning center.

I know a lot of our clients

have the ability to do that.

So…

Stop, stop.

Qin Shi, are you…

are you kidding me?

Why should I use

my clients' resources to help Ms. Lan.

Plus, with Ms. Lan's

current financial situation,

would I be tossing money

into a firepit?

Yang Hua…

Go on.

I read all the financial statements

of the early learning center over the past 3 years.

They've been operating very well.

Before the outbreak of the financial problem,

they've already began

their IPO

and planned to open

50 more branch stores by the end of the year.

Now, their previous investors withdrew their investments

because of the debt issue.

If someone is willing

to take over,

they can obtain more shares

with the lowest amount of investment.

When the IPO is complete,

I don't have to tell you

about the revenue in return.

Qin Shi,

are you talking to me

as an employee of.

Honesty & Prudence

or as Ms. Lan's

attorney?

Yihui,

Honesty & Prudence might have given up on Ms. Lan.

But I haven't.

Qin Shi, you…

How long has it been?

Yang Hua,

which side are you on?

Mr. Jin.

If Qin Shi wasn't your wife,

would you suggest that.

I invest in this project

as my investment advisor?

If those

clients with investment intentions

ask me the same thing,

how should I answer them?

Would they believe me?

If I were you,

I would say the investment is your own decision.

You shouldn't listen to

anyone's advice.

Is that how

you convinced your former clients?

That's very irresponsible.

As an analyst,

I'm only responsible for my findings.

As for whether you should invest,

that's your own problem.

Because it's your money,

all profits and losses will be yours.

There isn't

any sure-fire investment.

Are you okay?

If I'm not having a leg cramp now,

I can jump three feet in the air.

Do you believe me?

Your boss didn't say yes yet.

You don't know her.

As long as she didn't chew me out on the spot,

that means I have a chance,

and a great chance at that.

She must have

a list of candidates in her head by now.

You're that confident?

However,

I'm not confident in myself.

I'm confident in you,

one hundred percent.

Are you alright?

Yes, yes.

That looks really serious.

What happened?

Isn't the office over there?

Counselor Qin.

Director Qiao.

Counselor Qin,

your…

your heart is beating really fast.

You're… crushing me.

I'm sorry.

My arm is a little numb.

I need to take a breather.

Tomorrow should be

the last day for Ms. Lan, right?

We've done all we could.

Leave the rest in God's hands.

Counselor Qin,

actually,

we…

You have a phone call.

Hello, Dad.

Son,

come over

and see me now.

Okay.

Where are you?

Bring Qin Shi with you too.

There are some things

I want to talk to her about

in person.

Dad, I'm Qin Shi. I have time.

Please send me an address.

Yang Hua and I will be there soon.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Dad,

did Mom say yes?

You know your mom's

temper.

How can she give up

on something she set her mind on?

Qin Shi,

I mainly want to

apologize to you

on behalf of Yang Hua's mom.

Some of her behaviors

were out of line.

She only sees

the strengths in her own child

and exaggerates someone's faults

for no reason.

That's the blind love

a mother has for her son.

I hope you can forgive her.

Please don't say that.

I know

the two of you haven't known each other for very long.

But I think

the time you're acquainted with each other

is never the only standard

to measure true love.

I know my son.

He changed

a lot recently.

I know

that's because of you.

Just for that,

I really want to thank you.

Thank you

for letting me see the vibrant

and vigorous side on him.

Dad, I really didn't do anything.

No, no, no,

you've already done a lot

and you did very well.

My son

doesn't meet many people's

standards of spouse selection.

He's lucky to be

in a relationship with you.

I'm really happy for you.

Dad, you didn't drink.

Why are you saying that?

Dad,

are you really okay

with my family's situation?

Mom told me

no one in your family has ever gotten a divorce.

How do I put it?

The divorce rate is so high now.

Are all divorced people

born in divorced families?

Not really, right?

Besides,

divorce is not a crime

and excellent children can be

raised by divorced families.

Besides, I think

they will cherish marriage

more than other people.

My dad

was divorced twice.

It doesn't matter what other people think of you.

The point is how you think of yourself.

The others might think this is an issue.

Do you think so too?

If you ask me,

this is not a problem at all.

The occasional warmth from kindness

always comes inadvertently.

Although I know

it might be unintentional

or just a spur of the moment thing,

I don't know why

but I believe that

came from Yang Hua's heart.

By the way,

I brought you something.

Yang.

Yang.

Yang.

Dad,

didn't Mom stash this away?

Do you really think I can't find it?

I know all your

mom's little tricks.

I knew it.

That Counselor Qin

has been acting suspicious lately.

Turns out she is harboring a secret.

I really admire her

for her courage to do that.

You… knew already?

Of course.

I just came from

the boss lady's office.

Let me tell you.

I've been working here

for so long.

It's the first time I've seen

the boss lady was so angry.

It's her own fault anyway.

She can say goodbye

to the 11th floor.

I… I…

I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, the boss lady said

to cancel

all her bonuses, transportation subsidies,

and meal subsidies this month.

Counselor Qin

will have a rough time

in the next three months.

That's it?

Her mistakes

are much worse than Steven's

and Steven was

removed from his post.

All she gets is canceling her bonuses?

Although I think

helping Ms. Lan on her own

is a bit of

a slap to the boss's face.

But it's not the same

as Steven's offense.

What?

You don't know?

Counselor Qin took over.

Ms. Lan's case on her own

and she even hopes.

Ms. Tang will help Ms. Lan

find investment guarantors for her corporations.

What did you think I was talking about?

Nothing.

I was talking about that too.

That showy,

arrogant Qin Shi.

You never expected that, right?

Let me tell you,

I thought

you were involved in that too?

Me?

No, no.

Why would I do that?

That's good then.

If the boss lady

knows you're

involved in this too,

she'll surely lash out at you.

You'll be the next person

who will be

removed from your current post,

just like Steven.

What's wrong, Baby?

Don't tell me

you're still at the law firm?

Very smart, you got the right answer.

I'll be at mom's place soon.

I'll cover you for a bit.

By the way, don't forget to buy

mom's favorite desserts.

That's right.

Baby, you're so attentive.

You just realized that?

Love you.

Bye.

Bye.

Mom.

You're home?

Are you making braised pork in brown sauce again?

Here,

Fei asked me to

bring these pork moon cakes to you.

This is a gift from me.

I wish you'll be 18 forever.

Why did you buy a present?

Fei was here a long time ago.

She's been waiting for you for over an hour?

Over an hour?

I'll go see her now.

Fei,

what are you looking at?

I'm looking at what an outstanding man

my boyfriend is.

Shouldn't you give

such an outstanding man a reward?

No.

What's so good about the trophies?

I'm standing right here.

Can't you look at me instead?

No.

Are you

missing a trophy here?

No.

The Best Debater of 2007

wasn't you?

Let me think.

No.

How's that possible?

Who else can it be?

How is it impossible?

Our school has

so many excellent

fellow schoolmates.

If I get the Best Debater every year,

wouldn't I rob them of their chances?

Which brilliant fellow schoolmate

was it?

You've already been here for an hour.

Aren't you hungry?

Go have dinner.

Just tell me.

I'll tell you over dinner.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to me.

Alright.

Happy birthday.

You're so annoying.

Alright,

make a wish, Mom.

I wish my Junhui

and Fei

stay healthy and happy.

I wish everything goes well for you at work

and happiness forever.

Mom, we want to wish you

stay 18 forever. We love you!

Okay,

come blow the candles with me.

Okay.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

I'll take the cake

to the other room.

Okay, be careful.

Let's eat first.

Come on,

Mom, let me get you some soup.

Okay.

Fei,

have you been

working too hard lately?

I think you lost weight.

Let me, let me.

Not at all.

Because of Counselor Tao's comment,

I'm just idling around

with nothing to do now.

You and Junhui

don't work at the same law firm.

How can his comment affect you?

Mom, this braised pork

doesn't look the same as before.

I can tell the cooking time

is perfect just from the color.

Well, eat more then.

Let me try it.

It's delicious.

Mom, he's from

the same college as my superior.

But I think they are archenemies.
