[Love in Time]

[Episode 04]

Why are you here?

Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't want to see me?

You didn't keep your word, did you?

I was going to move out.

But then I thought about it.

Although we are in different time-space,

this is also your home

and you have the right to live your life in your own way.

That's more like it.

Besides, we are still in the adjustment period of cohabitation,

so it is normal for us to have conflicts.

It's not cohabitation. We're just roommates.

Yeah, roommates.

So

you're okay with me staying here?

You don't need to ask my permission.

I'm not the house owner.

Since we're roommates,

why don't we have dinner together?

He Zhengyu,

what do you want?

I just want to have an informal dinner with you.

An informal dinner?

You call this an informal dinner?

I don't believe you would be so nice to me

for no reason.

Tell me, what do you want?

You're overthinking it.

I am just trying to

live in peace with you.

Would you really be so nice?

I don't believe you.

Look.

You misunderstood me.

I would also like to take this opportunity

to get familiar with you

to facilitate our future life.

Am I right?

Please have a seat.

I don't like these.

You can tell me

what you like.

Haven't you eaten Liuzhou river snails rice noodle before?

No.

This is similar to

cooking instant noodles, right?

Okay, leave it to me.

By the way,

please add a fried egg to the soup for me.

And it would be nice to have a chicken claw.

It seems he really hasn't tried this before.

I just confirmed that

it indeed smells like this.

There are still some over there.

Do you want to try?

No.

I'll pass.

Okay.

I can go to the study if you don't like the smell.

No, no.

It's okay.

Just eat here.

All right.

The steak...

You really don't want to try it?

It's alright. I'm full.

-I'm off to work now. -You...

What?

Nothing, just go ahead.

Li Zili had just been fired by Fei's Company,

and Li Ziqiang sued Fei's Company for forced demolition and beating.

My name is Li Zili.

As far as I know,

you also worked for Fei's Company before, right?

Yes.

Please listen to me, miss.

Fei's Company

not only maliciously lowers the compensation

during the demolition process,

but also uses force to retaliate against people. They beat up my brother.

I was expelled because I couldn't stand what they were doing

and didn't want to join them.

Could this be a coincidence?

May I come in, Chen Jialan?

No.

I'm just looking for something.

It won't take long.

Hurry up, then.

Where is it?

I remember it was right here.

Just hurry up.

Don't disturb my work.

It might be there.

Where is it?

Did I put it on the table?

Isn't this Jiang Shenghao?

You know him?

What does it matter to you

if I know him or not?

You know him?

Of course.

Wu Jirong is my good friend,

and Jiang Shenghao is her husband.

So Rat's proposal was successful.

And they soon got a marriage certificate.

But generally people

who get married quickly

tend to get divorced quickly.

Why do you have to

think that way?

Are you really Jirong's good friend?

You must be an anti-fan.

I'm just telling the truth.

Our law firm

handles several of these cases every year.

You lawyers

just want everyone to get divorced

so that you can make money.

I'm telling you this

because you know Jiang Shenghao.

No need.

But...

Have you found your stuff yet?

Please get out if you're done.

Wu Jirong is my good friend.

I have no reason to curse her.

She's a superstar.

Information about her can be found online.

Stop pretending.

I really know her.

Then do you know this?

Chen Jialan, I...

Get out.

Wait...

Don't bother me.

So annoying.

I haven't found my stuff yet.

You're really annoying.

I haven't found my stuff...

Why is she so difficult to get along with?

Here are the details of the whole event.

According to Li Ziqiang,

it was indeed Fei Meng

who ordered his men to beat him up at that time.

And the hospital's diagnostic certificate also showed that

his arm was indeed

a comminuted fracture

caused by the blow of external force.

And he also had a slight concussion.

The case of Fei's Company's forced demolition and beating

has sparked widespread social concern.

We must pay attention to

the accuracy of the information now.

Any questions?

Ms. Wen,

I have an idea.

Please go ahead.

The leader of the disturbance outside the Fei's Company building that day

was named Li Zili,

who is the brother of Li Ziqiang.

According to what he said,

he was fired by Fei's Company

because he couldn't stand

their behavior.

But I went to Fei's Company to investigate

and I found out that he and his construction team were fired

before the demolition.

So I suspect there is something else behind this incident.

What Li Zili did

was to defend his rights against the dismissal of Fei's Company employees.

It has nothing to do with Fei Meng beating people, does it?

Besides,

public opinions are now on the side of the Li brothers.

But the duty of journalists is to disclose the truth

and tell the public the truth.

If we just pander to

the netizens' speculation

and only report the story they want to see,

wouldn't that defeat

our original purpose?

Chen Jialan,

is what you are saying your own speculation,

or have you found solid evidence?

This is just my suspicion for now.

I haven't found the evidence yet.

I want to say one more thing.

I did find a lot of suspicions

during the interview with Li Ziqiang.

But I didn't find any conclusive evidence either.

And since the Fei's Company case will soon go to trial,

I want to

see the outcome of the trial first.

But since Chen Jialan mentioned it just now,

it shows that she has a good sensitivity of news.

How about

we report these two stories separately for now?

Chen Jialan and I will follow up the connection

between these two things.

Okay, just do as you say.

That's all for today.

You're dismissed.

Awesome, Chen Jialan.

Even Mr. Mu wanted to work with you.

He's a maverick.

It's great that you got his approval.

Mr. Mu, I will try my best

to live up to your expectations.

I'm sure you can do it.

Okay.

Brother.

I found Chen Kexin.

Send me your location.

Where is she?

Let's go meet her.

What do you want?

Hello, Miss Chen.

We won't take you long.

It's just that we would like to confirm some questions

about Jiang Shenghao with you.

No need.

Jiang Shenghao is just a jerk.

He was already with me

but he didn't want to divorce Wu Jirong.

What happened in the apartment that night

was just like what you think.

I made it very clear

when I cooperated with the investigation.

As for the rest, I have no comment.

Please stop bothering me in the future.

Miss Chen, please don't get us wrong.

Here is the thing.

Jiang Shenghao

said in court that you perjured.

We hope to find more conclusive evidence

that he cheated after marriage.

When this case goes to trial again,

we would like you to testify

and be questioned by the judge.

It'll be more helpful for the case.

I don't mind testifying in court.

But there is a long story

between me and Jiang Shenghao.

Excuse me.

I'd like to go to the bathroom.

Sir.

There's a bathroom over there.

Chen Kexin!

What are you stopping me for?

Wait...

What's going on?

Sorry.

That lady said

she didn't know you

and asked us for help.

Please forgive us.

Can't you see that we know each other?

You can go to the bar if you need to order.

If you verbally harass

our female customers again...

Harass?

Alright.

Let's go.

We finally found her,

but she just ran away.

What do you mean by run away?

We were just asking her some questions,

not arresting criminals.

But we didn't

get any useful information.

No.

We've found a lot.

What?

We just

questioned her normally

but she ran away.

Running away means exposure.

Because there's something

she doesn't want us to know about,

and it's closely tied to the case.

But it's going to be hard to find her again.

Don't worry. You got me.

Jialan,

why don't they get their own coffee

but have to ask you to help them?

They are quite busy.

It's not a big deal.

Mr. Mu had never worked with anyone before,

yet he worked with her.

The cake was quite ugly.

I just threw it in the trash.

Me too.

I didn't take a bite.

Well,

did she leave early for dinner that day

to find Mr. Mu?

Of course.

She was in a hurry that day...

It is your freedom

to throw away the things people give you.

But I can't stand

you speaking ill of others.

I seem to have a manuscript that I haven't finished yet.

Right.

You are just too kind.

It's okay. Thank you, Piaopiao.

I'm off to go.

Whatever Chen Jialan is going to do tonight...

Even if she treats the house like a garbage dump,

I have to put up with it.

Because I need her to help me make an appointment with Jirong.

Remember.

Smile.

Luckily I got my fist under control.

What are you walking around for?

Go away.

Remember, smile.

Thank you.

Chen Jialan.

Would you please...

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Can't you see I'm in a bad mood?

I know.

Then you indeed need to vent it.

I am venting it.

I have an idea

to make you feel better in a minute.

So cold.

It's winter here.

Wear more when you come out next time.

No need.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

It's so good.

Do you want to try it?

I don't eat sweet.

You are such a poser.

What's wrong with me?

Childish.

Now that you're eating cake,

I have something...

Answer me first.

Where did you get the equipment?

What does it have to do with you?

Can't I just ask you?

How dare you come back?

I'll kill you today.

After learning that you know martial arts,

I deliberately went to buy a set of equipment

to protect myself.

Martial arts?

Were the moves you used

learned from taekwondo videos?

And what I learned was not martial arts,

but mixed martial arts.

Do you want to try?

No.

I can't tell the difference anyway.

Look at you.

How can you

be so violent every day?

You usually look quite normal.

How come you're actually a slick-haired scum?

If I were a scum,

would I buy you a cake?

Since you have already eaten the cake.

Don't say anything about this cake.

It was because of this cake.

I worked so hard

to make them cakes for so long

and they said the cakes were ugly.

They seem to be right.

He Zhengyu!

Is that what you're mad about?

[Hualin Road]

I've already treated them to dinner.

I... I got to be a journalist

because of my hard work.

I merely

left dinner a little early.

Did they have to discredit me like that?

Left early?

I did it all because of Rat,

also known as Jiang Shenghao.

He told me to leave.

Are you close to Jiang Shenghao?

Stop.

Don't try to

get any gossip from me.

I won't tell you.

Fine.

I won't ask.

Where were we?

Let's go on.

The workplace...

The workplace is a... The workplace is a small society.

We don't need to do ineffective socialization,

but we can't be socially inactive either.

We still need to maintain the necessary relationships.

Is that you want to say?

You know all these.

I do.

But Rat is my best friend.

He is indeed more important than those ineffective social interactions.

I didn't expect you to be quite principled.

Of course.

There.

Cream.

I have a handkerchief in my pocket.

You can wipe it.

So troublesome.

What are you doing?

This is my coat.

I have a handkerchief in my pocket.

You can wipe it with that handkerchief.

I'm sorry.

Don't.

I'm sorry.

I'll clean it for you.

Let me clean it for you.

Stop, stop, stop.

Fine, it's okay.

It doesn't matter.

It's too late now.

It's okay.

No.

I can't take your clothes with me.

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

Look. What is she doing?

She's so weird.

Let's go.

Of course it's true.

Every stain on my clothes can prove it.

I'll clean it tomorrow.

It didn't work out tonight.

I'll have to get this done tomorrow.

What exactly did he want to ask me for?

Come in.

Ms. Wen, what's the matter?

Fei's Company will hold a press conference

in two hours.

He Zhengyu will also attend

as an attorney.

Mu Shiming has something else to do.

You and Liu Da go to the press conference first.

Their attorney is He Zhengyu?

You know him?

No.

I'll be right there.

Did he move there

because of Fei's Company's case?

I firmly believe that the existence of the law

-is to maintain justice... -He Zhengyu!

-How much money did you take from Fei's Company? -Are you seeking a victory

for fairness and justice

or a victory for rich clients?

What happened?

My memory

has changed again.

Mr. He is here.

Mr. He is here.

[September 22, 2021]

[4:00 p.m., Fei's Company]

Mr. He,

may I ask why

you chose to be the attorney for Fei's Company?

Everyone,

I firmly believe that the existence of the law

is to maintain justice.

So I will spare no effort

to get justice for my client this time.

Mr. He,

aren't you worried that the outcome of this trial

will break your glorious record

of never losing a case?

I never do anything

I'm not sure about,

nor do I fight a lawsuit that I have no chance of winning.

So I will still win this time.

So now you have

enough evidence to turn the tide?

He Zhengyu!

He Zhengyu.

It is an acknowledged fact that

Fei's Company carried out forced demolition and beatings.

How dare you, as a lawyer,

openly defend for the wicked?

Do you have a conscience?

Mr. Li,

this is a public place.

Mind your words.

Otherwise,

I can sue you for slander.

Here.

Everyone, please take a look.

This is my brother's injury examination report,

which clearly states that

-he is a tenth degree disability. -Mr. Li.

Here is not a courtroom.

If you have evidence,

you can show us at the trial.

I will call security

if you disrupt our conference again.

Go ahead.

We didn't do anything wrong anyway.

Security!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Brother!

Go away.

Are you okay?

Brother.

Brother.

Take my hand.

Be careful.

How much money did you take from Fei's Company?

You will be punished for doing so.

First,

the law is about evidence,

not karma.

Secondly,

everyone here

heard what you just said,

so I can sue you at any time.

He Zhengyu!

Mr. He,

I have a question for you.

You are

an undefeated myth in the lawyer world,

and it is normal for you

to defend the legal rights of your clients.

But as far as I know,

all your clients are rich.

Are you seeking a victory

for fairness and justice

or a victory for rich clients?

That's a good question.

You are the first journalist

to ask me this question

in my many years in the business.

My answer is

neither.

Justice occupies a different place in everyone's heart.

And there is no uniform standard for victory.

As a lawyer,

all I can do

is to maintain the justice defined by the law.

I want to remind you, as a reporter,

that your interview

with subjective intent just now

has violated

the spirit of objective and neutral interviewing.

You are right about that.

But as a human being,

one should have the awareness to speak up for the weak.

What do you think, Mr. He?

This is a press conference for Fei's Company,

not the selection of the top ten young people.

What you are talking about is not in the scope of discussion.

He Zhengyu.

You're practicing?

I bought you a cake.

Sweets stimulate dopamine,

which can help you feel better.

I didn't know you four months ago.

I apologize for him.

He Zhengyu,

You've been acting strange these days.

Why do I feel like you've changed?

Really?

I don't think so.

You bought me a cake yesterday.

And today you humbly apologized

for what happened four months ago.

You even bought me another cake.

Something must be wrong.

You also asked me

to do you a favor last night.

What do you want?

Are you still

trying to separate

Jirong and Shenghao?

No way.

Separate? That's not what I meant.

Your thoughts have nothing to do with me.

It's useless.

He Zhengyu,

you didn't get ruined

because of this case,

did you?

Could you please not use

the word "ruined"?

I did move here

because I lost a lawsuit.

But it wasn't because of the one you're talking about.

I won that one you're mentioning.

You did take the dirty money.

Chen Jialan,

I don't doubt that you have a sense of justice.

But you're using it in the wrong place.

We have all seen Li Ziqiang's injuries.

His injury examination report was also written by the hospital.

How can that be fake?

We did see Li Ziqiang's injuries.

But who saw

the people from Fei's Company beat him up?

You're a lawyer. I can't convince you.

But it doesn't mean you're right.

You may not trust me,

but you should trust the law

and the judge, right?

Look.

[Fei's Company won. He Zhengyu maintained his undefeated legacy.]

This is the result, not the evidence.

What other evidence do you want?

In my world,

the jury is still out on this.

I'll figure it out myself.

Chen Jialan.

Don't follow me.

I don't want to see you.

Thank you.

Sir.

Follow that car.

Go, go, go.

Follow him.

Let me ask you.

Do you know where the Li brothers are?

What do you want?

Do you know it or not?

Why is she so mean?

I won't put up with you

if it isn't for

asking Jirong out.

I just thought about it.

You can ask me tomorrow.

I mean the me from four months ago.

I remember that day I went to...

What is it?

It's really annoying.

Are you that journalist from iNEWS?

How did you know?

Why are you following me?

Who is following you?

I'm here for coffee.

Ms. Chen.

I have work to do.

Please go have fun elsewhere.

Don't disturb me.

I have work to do too.

So, don't disturb me.

Work?

Are you also here to see Li Zili?

How did you know I was here?

You told me yourself.

Forget it. I'm going to do an interview.

Don't get in my way.

Come back.

What do you want?

Is it a public interview?

If so,

your outfit is too informal.

If not,

your outfit is too ostentatious.

What other ideas do you have?

Just follow me

and sit behind me normally.

Remember,

you're not an actor.

Don't deliberately design these plots.

I'll have two specials and a fruit plate.

Thank you.

Li Zili,

you have to get your brother to keep his mouth shut.

Your coffee.

The defendant's lawyer is not easy to deal with.

We all have to be screwed if something happens.

Don't worry.

My brother is very honest.

I've told him.

Then my money...

What money?

Li Zili,

you can't burn the bridge, right?

I'm not as foolish as your brother.

Don't get me wrong.

I will pay you

once the lawsuit is won and the compensation arrives.

You are really a bastard.

You could even think of self-harm.

I did it because I knew how to win the game.

If he doesn't break his arm,

we won't get the money.

Don't worry.

I'm sorry.

We almost got caught just now.

Li Ziqiang's forensic report has come out.

He fractured the same part twice in a short period of time.

It is likely that the plaintiff

has done a second injury to himself

in order to frame Fei's Company.

Obviously, it wasn't done by Fei's Company.

Journalists have to express facts, not emotions.

Don't make yourself look so amateurish.

Bye.

You didn't pay the bill.

Waiter.

Bill, please.

I just paid the bill...

Now it's raining.

I'll have to pay for a taxi.

Get in.

Get in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where are you headed?

Our company,

iNEWS.

Thank you.

I used to think that

what I saw was real.

But I didn't expect that this case

has proved me wrong.

I heard you never lost a case.

How did you do that?

Because I have a brain.

Thank you for sending me back.

You're overthinking it.

It's raining so hard now.

I would do the same thing for everyone.

If you ever find out

how annoying you are right now,

will you regret it?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Bye.

He Zhengyu?

What are you doing here?

Mr. Mu.

He gave me a ride.

Why are you two together?

When did you become an entertainment reporter?

So gossipy.

You are now the attorney representing Fei Meng.

Your identity is too sensitive.

Jilan is my colleague.

I need to remind her

not to be taken advantage of.

You should indeed do that.

The professional level of your iNEWS staff

needs to be improved.

He Zhengyu!

I can't affect the fairness of the news.

I can only affect

the authenticity of the news you report.

Your hair is all wet.

Wipe it.

Don't catch a cold.

Thank you, Mr. Mu.

Let's go.

Okay.

By the way, Mr. Mu,

I found Li Zili.

I also recorded some videos.

Let me see.

Are you that journalist from iNEWS?

I did it because I knew how to win the game.

It is likely that the plaintiff has done a second injury to himself...

iNEWS.

Again?

Come on.

It's just a game.

Why would you connect it to reality?

My memory is updated again.

Brother.

Why do you keep repeating this?

Why don't you believe me?

I do.

You are the boss.

I'll believe whatever you say.

Do you remember

the case in which Li Ziqiang framed Fei's Company?

Yes.

His medical report was investigated by me.

Li Zili

was fired from his job

for cutting corners in a construction project.

Fei Meng gave us the evidence.

I personally investigated Li Zili

to make sure everything was in order,

and it turned out that

he was colluding with a mole in Fei's Company

to screw Fei's Company.

Wait...

Didn't we win the case?

Why are you still mentioning it?

My new memory now shows me that

when I checked on Li Zili,

Chen Jialan was also there.

So cool.

Which one of you does she like more?

Is it you four months ago or is it you now?

It's not like that.

I'm not even sure now

which one of me she hates more.

I guess it's you now.

Get lost.

Now that our relationship is so strained.

She's even less likely to help me ask Jirong out.

You're getting worse.

Why would Chen Jialan

appear in all my new memories?

Is there a pattern to this?

Play the game first.

Don't get us lose.

The ultimate.

Wait, the skill is on cooldown. Wait...

Go! Go! Go!

Chen Jialan!

Chen Jialan?

Chen Jialan?

She didn't stay outside on purpose, did she?

It's indeed wise to come back late.

That way I don't have to see that annoying guy.

I can stay quiet now.

Chen Jialan, my proposal was successful.

-Come and have dinner with us. -He proposed successfully?

Great!

Chen Jialan,

why are you standing outside sneakily?

Come in.

It's really you.

Ms. Wu.

Ms. Wu?

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending to be a kid.

Just call me Jirong.

Have a seat.

Okay.

Wouldn't it interrupt your work

that we asked you to come over suddenly?

Not at all.

It's my lunch break now.

You're...

You're much prettier than on TV.

Thank you.

Guess what?

This is my wife.

Stop showing off.

Such a big diamond ring!

You must have spent a lot of money, right?

Of course.

This is what I have to do.

Jialan.

I've heard him talk about you a lot.

I also watched your live coverage.

I was wondering

how such a thin girl

could have so much energy.

I think you're cool.

Do you really think so?

Of course.

I know it's hard for girls to be journalists.

It's not easy.

I really admire you.

Thank you.

It's okay.

I'm not that excellent.

You girls are amazing.

You've just met,

but it's like you've known each other for years.

None of your business.

Jirong.

Tell me if Shenghao makes you unhappy.

I'll protect you.

I am good at arguing and fighting.

Okay.

Then you'll be my family from now on.

Fine.

You are a family.

I'm an outsider.

I'll leave then.

Don't go.

Who will pay if you leave?

Look.

I'm still useful.

Then I'll continue to shine.

By the way, Jirong,

I have a small request.

My best friend is your big fan.

Could you please give me an autographed photo of you?

No problem.

I will let Sheng Hao give it to you later.

Thank you.

Jirong.

Is the temperature right?

Yeah.

I met Rat's fiancee today.

She will be the happiest bride

in the world.

Happiest?

It was a nightmare.

Chen Jialan,

you just didn't come back on purpose.

They can still annul the engagement.

I can definitely deal with you.

Chen Jialan,

next time it will be you begging me.

[Sweet ON]

[Love in Time]

[Exclusive Highlights]

Should I put my left hand lower or my right hand lower?

It's better if you pinch her face.

The skin of my hands is too dark.

[Unable to escape]

[Can I lose my temper]

[The embarrassment is continuing]

Remember,

[Practice again and again]

you're not an actor.

[She couldn't help but laugh]

[Filming]

Remember,

you're not an actor.

Don't deliberately design these plots.

Sorry.

It's too difficult for me.

[I'm so tired]
