Original subtitles

I'm heading back.

Lawyer Xu,

the rain was pouring yesterday,

and I got out of the car in a hurry.

I didn't get a chance to thank you.

Thank you for driving me back.

It was on my way.

Wait a minute.

I'm ready.

Alright, alright.

I'm coming.

This is for you.

How to say goodbye properly?

Actually, he has helped me

beyond

the obligation of a lawyer.

After the last meeting tomorrow,

I'll give him a gift.

Ruan Yu at 28

gives a gift

to Ruan Yu at 18

who didn't have the chance to give it.

This ending is considered satisfactory, right?

The court trial tomorrow

Lawyer Liu will be present.

After today,

I may not see you anymore.

After all, you are usually

quite busy.

Thank you for your help

during this time.

Although Lawyer Liu said

you don't need to pay me,

I still want to

express my gratitude.

This is for you.

For you.

I hope that

your life and career

will go well

in the future.

Thank you.

Who said we won't meet again?

I'll be there for tomorrow's trial.

What does she mean?

What do you mean?

I want to know

what you mean.

First, she said we wouldn't meet again,

then she gave you a digital watch.

What does that mean?

The past is not worth lingering over.

Time will wash away everything.

Is it possible

that it means something else?

When Ruan Yu said there was no chance to meet again,

she wanted you to take the initiative

to create more opportunities to meet.

And the digital watch

was to express

he cherishes the time

he spent with you.

Think about it.

Why did he give you an electronic watch

instead of a mechanical one?

What does Ruan Yu do?

He's a writer,

playing with words.

There must be a meaning behind it.

Think about it.

Think about it.

What does "electric" mean?

It sounds like "miss".

Zi.

It means days.

Days, right?

Biao.

Biao.

Biao.

If you read "Biyao" fast,

it sounds like "Biao".

Biyao.

Right? What does it mean?

It means that

with Ruan Yu,

were the days

she had to remember.

She's been keeping it in mind.

I finally made it.

If Ruan Yu plays with words like this,

she would have long left the writer circle.

In short,

in a word,

don't worry about what the watch

means.

It's just a gift

is just a gesture.

Right?

If you really can't figure it out,

don't just sit here

overthinking it.

Just ask her.

That's all there is to it.

Bro,

when it comes to court battles,

I can't beat you.

But in the realm of relationships,

I'm a veteran.

In this field.

Didn't you see

my WeChat Moments yesterday?

My blind date

was successful.

We fell in love

at first sight,

and we are very happy.

We will have a big family.

If everything goes well,

we will...

Shanshan,

I'm not busy.

Okay, okay.

The same restaurant

you booked last time, right?

Okay, no problem.

Okay, okay.

See you later.

Okay, bye.

I have to go.

I have something important to do.

I can't accompany you anymore.

If you don't believe what I said,

then don't

sneak around

and ask her yourself.

Stubborn.

You think I'm like you,

so impatient?

Lawyer Xu,

why are you here?

I'll take you home.

Why is the weather

always so miserable?

[This sudden downpour]

[is like an unexpected farewell, ]

[seemingly without any warning, ]

[but the seeds of sorrow]

[have long been sown]

[in the desolate air.]

Why does the radio

always have ill intentions?

Why would you give me this?

I heard from Lawyer Liu

that you often

stay up late when busy.

I thought

an electronic watch can monitor

your blood pressure, heart rate

and other health data,

so that it can remind you

to take care of yourself.

Don't be in a hurry.

Wait and see.

Let's see if she will send you candies

when you are not busy.

What's your intention?

According to the professional ethics,

a lawyer can't accept

from clients.

If you're

giving this to me

as a client,

I need to return it.

No, no.

You haven't even charged me,

so technically,

you're not my lawyer yet.

Of course,

it's not from a client.

Then...

Lawyer Xu,

we can be

considered as friends, right?

Of course.

Hello, babe.

Hello, Chuan.

Why did it take so long to answer?

Are you still at the company?

I was just busy.

Is your company

humane at all?

They're just picking on you.

I have no choice.

I have to do live streaming

and product selection myself.

And I have to attend some social events.

I'm almost

a time management expert.

It's late.

You have to eat.

I'll go right now.

I'll eat later.

I'll hang up now.

I have to go.

Someone is waiting for you to eat.

My mom.

She's always afraid that I'm too busy

to eat.

Let's go.

Eat. Don't let your mom worry.

Aren't you afraid of being seen?

So what if they see?

Baby, why are you here?

I'm about to go to a meeting.

I saw you hadn't replied to my messages,

so I came up directly.

Here.

I've been too busy today

to check my phone.

I have a meeting to attend.

I can't be with you today.

By the way,

did you park the car downstairs?

You can't park there.

You'll get a parking ticket.

You need to move it quickly.

One minute.

I have no choice.

Fine.

I can't stay with you today.

I'll go first.

I'll go home with you.

Fine.

Who is that?

A delivery guy.

No one took the order,

so the merchant delivered it himself.

You said you were going back to the office to get something.

Is it to get takeout?

Are you that hungry?

What do you think?

Thank you, Lawyer Xu.

Drive slowly on your way back.

Lawyer Xu, do you have a stomachache?

It's okay.

I've been tired all day,

and I haven't had the chance to eat.

I must be hungry, it's fine.

Why don't you

come up and eat something?

Come in.

Lawyer Xu,

You can wear this.

It's new.

I bought it last time

when you visited my home.

Thank you.

You should change your clothes.

OK.

Please wait a minute.

OK.

I bought it last time

when you visited my home.

Who visited my home?

[He shouldn't have heard that.]

Lawyer Xu, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let me see.

It's okay. I can do it myself.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The windows are closed.

It might be a bit stuffy.

I'll open them.

Maybe it's over there.

It's open.

Yeah.

I didn't sleep well

last night.

I'm a little dizzy.

I'll take a break.

Lawyer Xu,

take a break.

I'll cook for you.

Thank you.

What do you want to eat?

Anything simple is fine.

I'll cook

some easy-to-digest noodles.

Okay.

Let me help you.

No, no need.

It only takes me five minutes to cook noodles.

You should rest.

Okay.

Thank you, Mao.

Thank you for talking to me so much.

It's been a long time

since I've been this happy.

If you have any problems in the future, just tell me.

Don't keep it all inside.

It's exhausting.

Honestly,

I've always been hesitant

to talk about

my family with others.

It feels like

I'm constantly reopening

my wounds

just to get sympathy.

But I don't want to hide anything from you.

Relationships are about two families,

but marriage is about two families.

Although we

haven't gotten to that point yet,

before,

when the people I went on blind dates with

found out about my family situation,

they all backed out.

I've already thought about

being alone until I die.

Shanshan,

don't ever think like that.

A girl as good as you

how could you end up alone?

It's not your fault.

You've been through a lot.

Don't worry.

I don't care about your background,

or your family.

Right?

We're out of wine.

Waiter.

Yes, sir?

Another bottle, please.

Okay.

Lawyer Xu.

I'll take it.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thanks.

I'll take this call.

Hello?

Send me the address.

I'll be there soon.

Okay.

What happened?

Don't worry.

I'm definitely not a scammer.

It's okay, it's okay.

My friend will be here soon.

He'll take care of this order.

Okay.

Why are your prices

so high at this restaurant?

Well,

you just opened three bottles

of 2015 Harlan.

The price per bottle is 25,999.

25,999 per bottle?

Yes.

Why isn't it on the menu?

No.

Everything in our restaurant

is

Clearly priced.

What's wrong, Mao?

Nothing.

Shanshan,

where's my card?

It's over the limit.

Don't worry.

I called my friend.

He'll be here soon

and take care of this.

I can pay.

No, no, no.

How could I let you pay?

Listen to me.

Just go back and wait.

It'll be done soon.

Are you still sober?

Song.

You're here.

Drink some water

and sober up.

Are you here

to pay the bill for your friend?

Yes.

May I see the receipt?

Thank you.

Do you know her?

No.

Okay.

Song,

let me introduce.

This is Shanshan.

Shanshan,

this is my best friend,

Xu Huaisong, Lawyer Xu.

Lawyer Xu, nice to meet you.

Brother Mao often talks about you.

He says you're really good at handling cases.

So, you're Shanshan?

Have a seat.

I need to tell you something.

Do you know that based on your current actions,

you could be suspected

as a criminal offense?

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

Don't be frightened by him.

He's kidding.

He likes to make fun.

It's his occupational disease.

He wants to sue anyone he meets.

You drank fake wine,

and you don't even know

you were cheated.

What fake wine?

You didn't drink.

Why are you talking nonsense?

A bottle of ordinary wine

costing 300 or 500 yuan.

With a label and repackaging,

it sells for 26,000 yuan.

How much commission?

I'm not asking you.

Lawyer Xu,

we've just met today.

I don't understand why

you're so malicious towards me.

But I'm really into Mao.

She's really nice.

Really?

For the sake of Liu Mao

being really into you,

I'll give you

some free advice as a lawyer.

Intentionally producing

and selling inferior products.

The bill today

is enough to convict you.

What evidence do you have?

The wine is physical evidence.

The transaction records

between you and the restaurant manager

are documentary evidence.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Lawyer Xu.

I don't know

the manager at all.

And if there's a problem with the wine,

it's the restaurant's fault.

I'm also a victim.

Yeah.

Then I...

We are all victims.

You are a victim, but she's not.

I just checked the wine glass.

If you drank it,

you are a victim.

How can you talk to me

so clearly?

Besides,

the water stain below...

Shanshan,

I'm a bit confused now.

I heard

he said about the wine glass

and

the water stain on the ground.

What does it mean?

Mao, I didn't.

I...

Tell me the truth.

Did you lie to me?

I'm sorry. I...

You are a good person.

Shanshan, where are you going?

Go.

Wait.

I've been

listening to you for a long time.

Don't think you can fool me

by saying that.

I'm telling you,

no one can leave

until the bill is settled.

Sit for a while.

Then don't go.

Passing off fake as real

is already a violation of the Criminal Law,

Article 140.

Wine fraud,

intimidating consumers.

Every word you just said

has been recorded.

Recording is not allowed in our restaurant.

You are infringing on our privacy.

You...

If you want it, just take it.

All the recordings

have been uploaded to the cloud storage.

And I know better than you

that legal evidence collection

is still an infringement of privacy.

One more thing.

I've already called the police.

They'll be here

in a few minutes.

If you have anything to say,

just tell them.

You...

When did you call the police?

Just now,

before getting in the car.

You are indeed a cunning old fox.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Since ancient times, heroes have always fallen for beauties.

This time, you have definitely

taken a different path

and become a hero.

You can still joke around.

It seems that there is no problem.

I'm fine.

I'm just a little hungry.

The whole meal

was eaten by that girl.

Shanshan said she was hungry,

so I gave her all my steak.

I was too busy drinking.

Did you eat anything?

You're really not helping.

If you were ten minutes later,

I would have eaten.

Then let me treat you to something.

After the police come

and finish the record,

let's grab a late-night snack.

Sure,

but let's find a cheaper place this time.

Song,

I've had enough heartbreak.

Why is dating

so hard?

It's not heartbreak

you're dealing with,

it's being conned.

As a lawyer,

you got tricked by a bar scammer.

Don't tell people tomorrow

that you are a partner of Zhikun.

What's wrong with a lawyer?

Don't lawyers have feelings?

You said she was a scammer.

To trick me,

she made up such a story.

From

another perspective,

doesn't that mean

she likes me a bit?

She put a lot of effort into it.

You're still not getting the message.

So, I'm just

a cog in the wheel?

At this point,

just let it go.

If she doesn't like me,

why would she chat with me

when I'm feeling down?

Wasn't that you

texting her first?

And when I said I wanted something sweet,

she made it for me herself!

But you were the one

who said you wanted it.

So all this sweetness

was just me asking for it?

It's all just one-sided?

What's wrong with asking?

Just because you asked for candy

doesn't mean it's not candy.

Just because you asked for candy

doesn't mean it's not sweet.

It's candy.

Just eat it.

Since you enjoyed the process,

don't care about the result.

I worked so hard

to maintain the process.

Isn't it because I want a

good result?

When they were talking about me,

you were pretty cool.

When you heard that

the novel ended,

didn't you

feel bad for two days?

[Next week is New Year's Eve.]

[Students who want to exchange gifts, ]

[please hand them over to the Culture and Entertainment Department.]

[The department will organize a drawing of lots]

[the day before New Year's Eve.]

Don't even think about it.

The kids are still so young.

How can they go to America with you?

I'm discussing this with you, aren't I?

You should at least ask

the kids' opinion.

No need to ask.

Huai Shi won't go with you.

Brother.

Brother.

Mom and Dad are going to...

Going to divorce.

I know.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Let's go back to our room, okay?

Brother.

From now on,

can we only

have one of them?

Mom said Dad was going to America.

She asked me if I wanted to go.

I don't want to go that far away.

I don't know anyone there.

I don't want to go with Dad.

I won't let you go to America.

Really?

Really.

Don't cry.

Brother.

What's that?

It's a gift.

For you.

[If I hadn't backed down, ]

[would the outcome have been different?]

Brother, will Sister Ruan Yu's case

go to court tomorrow?

I'll go and cheer her up,

and give her some support.

The trial is about to start.

How are things going with Ruan Yu?

It's going well.

Don't worry about it.

When I asked you yesterday,

you were still upset.

You've figured it out today?

The novel's ending was her idea before.

It doesn't mean the present,

let alone the future.

One night's reflection, and you're a different person.

Impressive.

The sky's cleared, the rain's stopped,

and my brother's back on track.

What about you?

Your homeroom teacher

sent me your last month's

your monthly exam results.

They don't look good.

I'm busy. Bye.

Another post

from Sister Ruan Yu.

Giving it my all

and trying without regrets

is a kind of fulfillment.

You've got

a point, Song.

Backing down means regrets.

But if we fight for it,

we'll be able to

justify our feelings.

It's like a lawsuit.

No matter the outcome,

just do it.

Xu Huaisong actually likes posts?

Never seen him like Liu Mao's.

So

He does browse WeChat Moments?

[I'll pick you up at 7 a.m. tomorrow.]

This must be

the last time we meet, right?

Since the defendant

didn't show up,

and the plaintiff

refused mediation,

we'll postpone the ruling.

The decision will be mailed

to both parties.

Court adjourned.

Ms. Cen,

I did my best.

The plaintiff insisted on not mediating.

Based on today's hearing,

the court is likely to

support her claim.

Okay.

I see.

It should be fine, right, Lawyer Xu?

Don't worry.

If all goes well, you'll receive

the judgment within a month.

Once it's published online,

this matter

will be completely resolved.

That's good.

Sorry

to keep you waiting.

My old problem.

I always have diarrhea

after court.

I need to practice my mentality.

All right, let's go.

The enemy has been defeated.

We can go back

and rest.

Let's go.

Go.

Hello, Mingying.

Check Weibo.

Cen Sisi committed suicide.

Many netizens are guessing

that you forced her to do it.

What's wrong?

Cen Sisi

committed suicide.

One fried dough stick, two eggs,

and a cup of soy milk.

The fried dough stick should be soft.

Fried dough stick and eggs are the best.

Lawyer Xu, you also believe in this?

Boss,

I want a dough stick and two eggs.

In junior high,

a dough stick and two eggs

can get 100 points.

Now in senior high,

Chinese, math, and English are all 150 points.

Aren't politics, history, and geography still 100 points?

Besides,

my 100

also means 100 percent.

I'm sending a signal

to my brain

to give it more energy

and intelligence to face the exam.

Do you understand?

Give me money.

More intelligence.

I used to believe this,

and I was even laughed at.

Boss, I want one too.

This one is for you.

Lawyer Xu, don't you eat it yourself?

My breakfast hasn't arrived yet.

Thank you. One more douhua,

and an egg.

How much?

25 yuan.

Okay, thank you.

Morning, Ruan Yu, Lawyer Liu.

Okay.

I've paid for the breakfast.

Have a seat.

Come on.

This is for you. It's good for your brain.

And yours.

By the way,

can you show me

the trial materials again?

I want to review them

to feel more prepared.

Sure.

It's in my bag.

Okay.

Not that one.

That's the other side's.

It's just the tip of the iceberg.

Can you tell the difference?

Is it because they

have different thickness?

Because that clip

is yellow.

So, this green clip

is for our own file,

which means green light all the way.

Smart.

Do lawyers believe in these things?

Or is it because my case

is rather complicated,

So it needs

more luck.

This case

is indeed a small one.

But

we have a lawyer

who always fulfills the wishes

of her clients.

I saw your post on WeChat yesterday.

You wanted a lucky charm.

So here you are.

Did you sleep well last night?

It's your first lawsuit,

so you must be a little nervous, right?

But

I have two great lawyers backing me up.

Even the file holders

are taken care of.

I feel very reassured.

I slept very well last night.

With this mindset,

our case

is bound to win.
