Oh, you're awake?

Come over here and have some breakfast.

Grandma sent these biscuits.

I made them with lard and preserved greens. They're great.

What time is it?

(Meeting Minutes, Copy) Shouldn't you be on the train by now?

(Client List)

I woke up too early. I'm going back to sleep.

It's seven o'clock.

I only got up

to enjoy a nice breakfast.

Come and have some, too.

That's weird.

You used to race to work like you were on a rocket.

Why are you suddenly giving yourself a break today?

You didn't get fired by Lou Yue, did you?

Touch wood!

Don't jinx me.

I just need to

slow down and catch my breath occasionally.

I've got to think

about everything that's been happening.

Deep in thought first thing in the morning?

Are you thinking about him?

I wasn't thinking about Shen Xiezhi.

I didn't say it was him.

Aren't you a doctor? How can you eat

without brushing your teeth?

Stop nagging. It isn't going in your mouth.

Doctors are human too.

Can't the joy of eating

occasionally beat hygiene standards?

Give me a break.

Don't try to change the subject.

Yesterday,

you went

to that cafe right across from the court.

Did it keep you up last night?

If you've got regrets, it's not too late.

He hasn't reported for duty yet, right?

What nonsense are you talking about?

I didn't sleep because

I was thinking about the Ren Haiping case.

But the court already granted the divorce.

What I suspect and whether or not

the divorce is real

don't matter at all.

I've got no evidence.

But if this blows up,

it's going to be a disaster.

My boss has already given the order,

so there's nothing I can do.

I just think if something happens,

I need to have all my files ready.

At least be prepared for the worst.

You're just guessing at this point.

Seriously.

Stop frowning.

You've got such a pretty face.

Frowning doesn't suit you.

I feel like you're

less happy now than when you were

hustling for cases at the court gates.

It isn't that I'm unhappy.

I'm frowning

because I'm focused. Don't you know?

Details are everything.

Even at a big firm,

the highlights always come with shadows.

Since I'm already at Ronghe,

I've got to make a real name for myself.

(Qingcheng District People's Court)

Shi Xiaomei.

That's enough.

You want all three kids?

On what grounds?

You don't earn a cent.

Are you holding them hostage

to squeeze child support out of my parents?

Those three children

came from my own body.

I'm not letting them go.

I'll grant the divorce,

but on one condition.

All three kids

stay with me.

You're clearly just trying to wear me down.

Is it really that you can't leave them,

or are you just afraid of losing your lifestyle?

You can have more kids with Hu Xiaoling.

What are you talking about?

I've already got three! Why would I want more?

To tell you the truth,

those two younger ones,

if it weren't for my dad back then...

Enough. Let me say something.

Xiaomei.

Be honest with me.

In all the years you've been with us,

have I ever treated you poorly?

Mom.

I know.

Our family

has lived off of you all these years.

But the children...

If you two want a divorce,

fine by me.

But taking all three kids

away from us?

You're going to be the death of me.

I'm only telling you this for your own good.

Take one with you,

and it won't be hard to start over later.

But if you take

the younger two as well,

you'll ruin your entire life.

Mom.

I'll tell you right now.

I'm never

getting married again.

Enough of that.

Good grief,

why are you being so stubborn?

Let me make this clear.

You can take Du, the oldest.

But as for the younger ones,

don't even think about it.

They're staying with the Duan family.

We've been family for so many years.

As mother and daughter-in-law,

I really don't want to make things ugly.

But if you insist on being this stubborn,

don't blame me for being heartless.

No matter where this case goes

or who sits on that bench,

there's no way

you're getting all three kids.

Judge,

am I right?

In principle, that's correct.

Except for special circumstances.

Plaintiff.

Please state your reasons

for wanting custody of all three children.

Judge,

I'm aware

that I lack the financial means.

The odds of me

getting all three are very low.

But these three children

have grown up by my side.

I've never spent a day apart from them.

I can't live without them, and I can't let them go.

Please, Judge,

understand how a mother feels.

We understand

how you feel as a mother.

But you also have to face reality.

If you take all three,

can you really provide for them?

Do you hear that?

The judge is right.

You say you want all three,

but you have zero income.

How will you raise them?

You're obviously just after more child support

so you can live a high life.

You want to use them

to maintain your current lifestyle.

To be honest,

my parents' money

doesn't exactly grow on trees.

Honestly.

Judge.

Judge,

what's with that look?

Did I say something wrong?

No.

Are you trying to insult me or something?

No, not at all.

I'm so sorry.

I think I might've eaten something

this morning that didn't agree with me.

Lawyer,

I think the judge might be pregnant.

We should request someone else.

Mr. Duan...

This is a court of law.

Do you want to replace the panel while you're at it?

We also need to hear what the children have to say.

(Ladies' Room)

Mean woman!

Hey, there...

Sweetie, try to stay calm.

I don't want to be away from my mom!

- I want to be with her! - Calm down!

And stay with my brother!

Bad lady!

Cut it out, little one.

I won't let you separate us!

No one is taking you away.

No!

I'm not leaving my mom!

What happened?

You're a bad lady too! Get out!

Me?

I'm not leaving my mom!

You're all mean!

You'll never split us up!

"Mean woman..."

I guess I am a bad lady.

Don't let it get to you.

She's just a child, after all.

Don't take it personally.

It's not that I'm offended.

It's just that...

I think she might be right.

Since when did you become so sentimental?

This isn't like you.

Maybe it's the pregnancy.

I can empathize now.

I do have some sympathy

for Shi Xiaomei.

But at the same time,

I'm frustrated that she didn't fight for herself.

She was a master's student with a bright future.

Her career was just about to take off.

Then, she just quit.

Look at her now.

She doesn't have a penny of her own.

She's left her entire fate in the hands of others.

She can't do anything

except wait for

her mother-in-law's mercy.

As for her love for her kids?

Besides some yelling and a few tears,

she has no way to prove it.

Sometimes I wonder

if it's just like her husband said.

Does she want all three children

just so she can squeeze

more child support out of her in-laws?

In our line of work,

we deal with the worst of human nature every day.

If you expect the worst

but strive for the best outcome,

things usually turn out okay.

I considered awarding

both younger children to the mother.

Since they're so young,

lacking maternal love

could leave them with lifelong scars.

But I realized I haven't

looked at this

from the children's perspective.

They've grown up together

as blood siblings.

They aren't just vegetables

lined up on a table.

We can't simply weigh

and compare them

to make it even.

They say family matters are the hardest to settle,

but we have to face the challenge.

If the children are young or have clear preferences,

we just have to consider

the best interests of the child.

Otherwise,

even though

there are more factors with multiple children,

it's fair to give each parent one child

when there is a dispute.

If there's no dispute,

then awarding both to the side

with more financial stability

or a stronger desire to parent

is perfectly

reasonable.

But in this case,

awarding all the children

to one side

is highly unlikely.

However, the oldest daughter

clearly wants to stay with her mother.

The father

has never been in her life.

He's only fighting for Meng and Bei

for the grandmother's sake.

Could that be a mark against him?

But the mother used to be

financially dependent on the in-laws.

Things are already a total mess.

Do they think the kids will save their marriage?

I have no idea what they're thinking.

What else could it be?

They're acting out of desperation.

Didn't you tell me

to keep trying just a while ago?

You said we could break the ice.

You and Yongjiu are different.

The two of you have

a solid emotional foundation.

How is it any different?

It's basically over.

In his eyes,

I'm just a snobbish social climber

who looks down on ordinary people.

Look at you.

You're overthinking things again.

Overthinking?

You aren't very good at comforting people.

(Divorce Agreement)

(Divorce Agreement)

(I've gone to live at the mutton soup shop.)

(Divorce Agreement: Lian Yongjiu, Shu Jing)

(Husband: Lian Yongjiu)

Come in.

Ms. Lou.

Here is the case file for Jiang Cheng.

Please take a look.

How is the Jiang Cheng case

coming along?

Great.

His manager is very cooperative.

Everything is moving along smoothly.

This is the summary I prepared for Mr. Ren's case.

I know.

That case is already closed.

But I still

can't stop worrying about it.

Give me a reason.

I know as a lawyer

I shouldn't pry into a client's private life.

But I'm hunting in a minefield right now,

where risks and rewards go hand in hand.

What I don't understand is,

if we've already identified the risks,

why aren't we avoiding them?

If we can't avoid them entirely,

shouldn't we at least

keep a lower profile?

What you're saying

makes a lot of sense.

But that's an individual's perspective.

As a lawyer,

you don't want any flaws or risks

on your professional record.

That's understandable.

Am I not supposed

to look out for my own interests?

As a partner at Ronghe,

I have to look at the big picture.

I'm responsible

for the firm's reputation

and the quality of our leads.

Mr. Ren's case

brought in a ton of new business.

Don't you agree?

If a case is this profitable,

then I am

willing to accept the risks.

So will you.

I really don't want

flaws on my professional record.

But you've benefited

from the bonus of Ronghe's new leads.

And you've made

your first big splash as a Ronghe lawyer.

If not for the publicity of Mr. Ren's case,

how would this have even landed in your hands?

Still find it hard to accept?

Fine.

I won't force you.

The Jiang Cheng divorce case

has just as many secrets as Mr. Ren's.

Since you can't stand moral ambiguity

and see things in black and white,

you're not suited to follow it.

But this is the only case I have.

This is Jintai Industries' case against Hehua Insurance.

Follow this one.

This is non-litigation work?

I haven't handled this before.

And...

Is this a demotion in disguise?

A Ronghe lawyer

strikes wherever I point.

If you haven't handled it, learn.

Read the contract carefully.

The dispute amount is 20 million.

Is that number big enough?

I'll get up to speed.

I won't let you down.

Don't you have a home?

Why do you keep coming to my place?

It looks like our Judge Shen

is really ready for the High Court.

You've already got the spirit for it.

Turn your phone down a bit.

I'm trying to work.

Otherwise, just go home.

Let me know when you're done.

I have something to tell you.

Either say it now or don't say it at all.

Fine.

I'll tell you right now.

These past few days, Lou Yue...

I'll stop teasing you.

Lou Yue told me about Qin Rui.

What happened to her?

Nothing, she's actually doing great.

She's doing well at Ronghe.

She just handled a major case

and did a fine job.

Lou Yue saw real potential in her and was giving her

a key role.

And then?

It seemed like

Qin Rui's future was looking bright.

She was even on track to succeed Lou Yue

as the next star of the legal world.

But for some reason,

there was a sudden reversal.

The firm moved her over to non-litigation.

Just like that, she's back at square one.

This must have been a massive blow to her.

She's probably at home feeling miserable right now.

Wow, you're really holding up well.

I thought

you'd call her immediately to offer comfort,

and then bit by bit,

rekindle those old flames.

Can I turn the volume up now?

Keep it down.

(I heard you won your case.)

(I heard you won your case. Congrats.)

(But right now,)

(who am I to show my concern?)

Hi, everyone.

This is "Rui's Legal Lens."

Welcome back to the channel.

Today,

I'm bringing you a new topic.

"Non-litigation."

As the name suggests,

it means resolving disputes without a lawsuit.

That includes things like mediation and arbitration.

There are many different forms.

It's generally a lot more flexible.

It covers M&A, real estate, and tax...

How many times have you recorded this?

Take a break.

I have to finish this today.

Non-litigation.

Ms. Lou

is moving pretty fast.

You've barely been at Ronghe Law Firm

before she moved you to a new field.

Well, what choice do I have?

Even a blade of grass at Ronghe

has to prove its worth.

I have to prove I'm useful to the firm.

Right now,

I'm not allowed to do profitable cases.

I'm not allowed to do big cases.

So I'm stuck with this.

But if you're so reluctant,

doesn't it feel wrong?

I don't have a choice.

To be a champion horse,

it doesn't matter if it's pavement

or a muddy rut.

You just have to keep running.

Once I get through this transition,

everything will be smooth sailing.

Keep at it.

Have some water.

It'll all work out.

My only concern is

that you're working from 6:00 AM

until midnight.

How many days has it been?

Your whole body must be exhausted.

Take a rest tonight.

I've been under enough pressure as it is.

Now, Ms. Lou

won't even let me do my main practice.

This is all I have left.

My follower count is plummeting.

If I don't work harder,

I'll really be finished.

But as you said,

you're in a transition period.

Before,

you were mainly focusing on

petty family squabbles.

That's a low bar for followers.

Now you're doing economic cases.

Most people won't understand them.

It's perfectly normal.

Don't overthink it.

No one can stay in their own

little corner forever.

As they say,

keep living, learning, and working.

No one is born with strengths.

They're just shortcomings

patched together bit by bit.

Just keep acting tough.

Like I don't know you.

Have you contacted Shen Xiezhi?

We broke up ages ago.

Besides,

when it's over, it's over. Onto the next.

My top priority right now is

to put all my focus on this article.

Once I record this video,

it'll be done.

Okay, you should go get some rest, too.

I'll head to bed when I'm finished.

Non-litigation, as the name implies, means

using methods other than lawsuits

to resolve disputes.

Like arbitration or mediation.

No court hearings, lower costs,

and more flexible results.

There's a wide variety of fields,

from M&A and real estate to tax.

Must remember the tax part...

And...

Right now,

I'm mainly handling contract disputes,

which is relatively easier.

But it's just as full of challenges.

Welcome to "Rui's Legal Lens."

Non-litigation,

as the name suggests, means

avoiding lawsuits in contract disputes.

Or all kinds of disputes.

You can use arbitration or mediation.

There are many different forms.

It can be more flexible,

cost less,

and yield more flexible outcomes.

The fields are quite diverse, too.

For example, corporate contract disputes,

or things like tax issues.

These can all be resolved this way.

(Legal Aid Center)

(Chenxi Legal Aid Center)

(Tianhai Domestic Violence Research Center)

You have no personal income.

Based on the circumstances you've provided,

assigning a lawyer

for free legal aid

won't be a problem at all.

But there is one thing

I need to warn you about.

In my opinion,

your request to have all three children

live with you at the same time

will be very hard for the court to support.

I know.

I know it's extremely difficult.

But I raised them

all by myself.

No,

to be precise,

Du helped me raise them.

When I was pregnant,

my husband never even came home.

These two little ones

don't understand anything yet.

If they realized they're about to be

separated from their sister...

I...

I'm a useless mother.

I'm so incompetent.

I'm a failure.

They're just children.

They're flesh and blood.

They've grown up together since birth.

They've never been apart.

Judge,

surely they have to consider the children's feelings.

Consider their emotional bond.

I don't know

how to even tell them.

They didn't do anything wrong.

They haven't made a single mistake.

Just because

their parents are getting a divorce,

they'll...

They'll be forced to

stay apart forever.

Please, try to stay calm.

Here's the thing.

When it comes to custody of multiple children in a divorce,

the emotional bond between siblings

has never been a priority factor.

Perhaps

as circumstances change,

there will be more consideration for it.

But,

isn't there

any other option

I can take?

According to the relevant laws,

a judge will only exercise their discretion

in very exceptional circumstances.

For instance,

if the other parent has

an illness that makes them unfit to raise a child,

or engages in behavior harmful to the child.

Such as?

For example, domestic violence,

child abuse, and so on.

Mr. Duan, what is the meaning of this?

(Authorized Representative for the Defendant)

Presiding Judge, she's making this up.

It's a total frame-up.

I've never hit her.

You've never hit me?

Even if we fought,

it was a mutual altercation.

Do you admit the injuries on the victim

shown in this photo

were caused by you?

Presiding Judge,

even if we did fight,

it was just some pushing and shoving.

It couldn't have caused injuries like this.

Then, can you explain

what caused the marks

in this photograph?

Shi Xiaomei,

you're really determined to make things ugly, aren't you?

Maintain courtroom decorum.

Unless this court has granted you the floor,

please do not interrupt.

Your Honor,

(Courtroom 1, Camera 4) I must explain.

My son is being framed.

When she was pregnant with the twins,

my son never even came home.

He...

How could he have abused her?

We originally wanted them to have more kids

to save the marriage,

but then

the arguments just got worse.

On the babies' 100th-day celebration,

those two had a massive blowout.

My son...

How could he have possibly

come back just to hit her again?

Shi Xiaomei,

even if you have issues with my son,

you can't just frame him!

You could have retribution for this!

Ms. Feng,

(Presiding Judge) please control your emotions.

You know better than anyone

how you got those marks.

Honestly.

Plaintiff,

can you prove that the defendant

indeed caused the injuries in the photo?

I'm sorry, Judge.

I...

I just wanted to keep my children with me so badly.

I really have been abused before.

But...

I wasn't able to keep any evidence.

Then, what is this in the photograph?

It's purpura.

Plaintiff, please be seated.

It's purpura.

I got it after I had the twins.

One touch leaves a huge mark.

Even without a touch, they appear everywhere.

Whether it's vasculitis

or a skin allergy,

even the doctors still can't say for sure.

I'm sorry, Judge.

I...

I didn't really want to commit perjury.

I just...

I just really couldn't find any other evidence.

I...

Duan Ziping is not fit

to be a father!

How could Shi Xiaomei have developed

such obvious purpura after giving birth,

and yet her husband

and mother-in-law

were both completely unaware of it?

Shi Xiaomei had

such a bright future.

Why did she fall for a guy like Duan Ziping?

Who can say when it comes to love?

Let's focus on the children's custody.

What do you two think?

I'm definitely in favor of awarding

all three children to Shi Xiaomei.

Duan Ziping

is just so unreliable.

If the kids aren't split up

and all stay with him,

they barely have a father's love as it is,

and now they'd lose their mother's love too.

The grandmother said

she'd hire a nanny

to take care of the kids.

But is a nanny the same as a mother?

They don't even share a blood bond.

Since Duan Ziping might have cheated,

could we lean more towards Shi Xiaomei

in the property division?

I've actually considered that.

First of all,

the couple

has no joint assets.

They've been living off the grandmother.

Secondly,

there is no solid evidence

to prove that Duan Ziping cheated.

At most, he failed to fulfill

his duty of marital fidelity.

But that isn't enough to name him the at-fault party.

We can't just let financial factors

be the reason all three kids are separated from their mother.

That's too cruel.

True.

Duan Ziping has never fulfilled

his parental obligations.

That's also one of our considerations.

I think Shi Xiaomei's

greatest advantage

is her emotional bond with the children.

Besides, the child has explicitly expressed

the desire to live with her mother.

Du is twelve, so we can take

her opinion into account.

But the twins are only six years old.

Honestly,

Shi Xiaomei came to her senses far too late.

Had it been a few years earlier,

we could have unconditionally

awarded custody to her.

I actually think Shi Xiaomei

gave up on her career

far too early

to be a housewife.

Perhaps this whole ordeal

will finally wake her up.

She'll realize that she can only rely on herself.

Only with financial independence

can you have an independent character.

But she's been out of the loop for so long.

Will it be easy to find work?

She's a graduate student, after all.

Even after all these years,

her ability to learn should still be there.

Even so, we can't

award all the kids to her just because of that.

Tell you what.

Let's wait for the next hearing

to see if both parties

have any new evidence to submit.

We'll decide then.

Sure.

Duan Ziping...

(Another day of learning the law with Ms. Qin.)

(I envy the rich. They can get help as long as they pay enough.)

(Curse that capitalist lackey. She will face the people's wrath.)

(Maybe she didn't know at first.)

(Mr. Ren is an old fox, after all.)

(She didn't know?)

(Is she even a professional lawyer then?)

(She lacks basic professional intuition.)

(That's a bit harsh.)

(Have some decency.)

(Careful, things might turn around.)

(She might just be a scapegoat.)

(Who can guarantee they're always)

(on the side of justice?)

(Whose side are you on?)

(Brainless fan. Get lost.)

(Wait until she bleeds you dry.)

(Then you'll be happy.)

(Exactly.)

(She's cozying up to billionaires.)

(Yet she's pretending to be a regular worker.)

(How shameless.)

(You're just a greedy little lackey.)

(Unfollow and block.)

(I used to think she was a lawyer with a conscience.)

(Qin Rui isn't a good guy.)

(They are birds of a feather.)

Now that it's blown up, we have to face it.

Deflecting or avoiding

won't solve anything.

(Senior Partner) Correct.

(Senior Partner, Lou Yue) Stick to the facts.

After the judgment was rendered,

it wasn't until official news came out

that we knew the divorce was a sham.

The entire representation

was entirely legal and compliant.

We fulfilled our duties as lawyers.

Come in.

Alright, that's it.

Ms. Lou.

You got the word.

Come in.

Take a seat.

The firm will issue a statement soon

to explain the representation objectively

with a rational voice.

I'm afraid a statement now might backfire.

People are still furious.

It could easily bring heat to the firm.

The damage is already done.

Ronghe Law Firm must take a stand.

We reaped the rewards of the case,

so we have to endure the backlash, too.

I just heard

that Mr. Ren's wife, Ms. Bai,

has also been added as a defendant.

She'll join Mr. Ren in taking

responsibility for the debts.

This process

will take some time.

But I believe the whole situation

will move in a positive direction.

For the time being,

it's better if you don't show your face.

I don't quite understand.

I know this is unfair to you.

But believe me,

I'm not trying to make you a scapegoat.

Given how Mr. Ren's case

has unfolded to this point

and the fact that you're caught in this,

I am responsible.

I apologize to you.

I'm sorry, Qin Rui.

But right now, we need to use time

to let everyone regain their reason.

Let things cool down.

Everyone previously involved in this case,

you, me, and Ronghe Law Firm,

should keep our public appearances to a minimum.

Maintain a low profile.

So,

I can't work on anything?

Not exactly.

Continue with the Hehua case.

It doesn't require court appearances,

so it won't be a problem.

For the time being,

you'll mainly focus on non-litigation.

Once Mr. Ren's case blows over,

I'll bring you back.

I'll owe you a favor.

Sure.

I see the big picture.

I'll follow the arrangement.

Hello?

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm at the firm.

I saw that video you posted.

The people in the comments are too nasty.

I saw it.

Don't take it to heart.

Bad people still need to eat

and file lawsuits.

You're just doing your job.

If anyone is to blame, it's Ren Haiping.

Why take it out on you?

It makes me so mad.

It's okay.

They probably think

I'm one of them.

If you take their money,

you have to take the hits.

The anger in the comments

is only temporary.

Once everyone cools down and thinks,

the tone might change.

We're all just workers.

Why make life hard for each other?

I know.

Don't let this little thing discourage you.

(Rui) You're a lawyer.

Competence is what matters.

Stay capable, and you'll keep your place.

Nothing else is important.

Don't worry.

When have I ever admitted defeat?

Besides,

I've already got one foot

in a top-tier law firm.

Is it likely I'd just pack up and leave?

That'd be more embarrassing.

Exactly.

That's the Rui I know.

We can't let a small hurdle

break us.

The nasty comments aren't a big deal.

I'm just glad

I didn't end up in jail.

Touch wood!

What are you talking about? Jail time?

It's not that serious.

Even if you did go to jail,

I'd still bring you meals.

I know you're good to me, okay?

You're just realizing that?

Alright.

Nothing beats a good meal.

I'll meet up with you,

and we'll go out for dinner.

It'll cheer you up.

No need.

I'll just grab a bite on my own.

It's free!

Our alumni association has an event today.

Fei from the forensic center can't make it,

so he gave me his meal voucher.

Alright. I can't let a freebie go to waste.

Well,

I'm heading back to pick you up now.

Change my clothes and we'll go.

I'd never say no to a beauty.

Hurry up, I'm waiting. Bye.

(Your fearless, persistent,)

(and relentless)

(professional persona has completely crumbled.)

(Buck up.)

(It's too early for a few sarcastic remarks)

(to break you down like this.)

(Mom)

(Mom)

What are you doing here?

It's a long night. I thought you'd be lonely,

so I came over to keep you company.

What kind of training is this?

Watching TV with the sound off.

Did you take on a case

that requires lip-reading?

(Tea Party)

It's pretty lively.

Would you like something to drink?

What's the deal?

Why is everyone in pairs?

Welcome to today's event.

There are no restrictions today.

Feel free to pair up.

Please sign your names.

Isn't this an alumni event?

Why does it look like...

Today is the alumni singles' special.

Make sure to seize the opportunity today.

We'll sign in ourselves.

You can get back to work.

Alright. Have a great time!

Liu Lian!

What is it?

Come here.

Since we're here, we can't come for nothing.

Seriously.

I'm not in the mood for this.

Come back.

Let me ask you.

Are you single?

Am I single?

We're two single adult women

attending a matchmaking party.

Isn't that perfectly normal?

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Take a look.

Listen.

The room is full of legal professionals.

You can at least meet new people.

Expand your network.

Don't be silly.

I'm going in first.

We shouldn't stick together.

With a bestie around, who'd dare to flirt?

Don't leave without me.
